Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of color sorters, and particularly relates to a color sorter with an anti-blocking function. Background Art

[0002] A color sorter is a device that automatically sorts out different-colored particles in granular materials based on the differences in the optical properties of the materials. Color sorters are used in the fields of bulk material or packaged industrial products and food quality inspection and grading. The working principle of a traditional Chinese medicine color sorter is mainly based on color detection technology. By utilizing the differences in the reflectivity and absorptivity of different colors, color signals are converted into electrical signals and processed and compared by a computer to achieve color classification and selection of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] When traditional Chinese medicine enters the feed hopper, if there are traditional Chinese medicines with a large volume or irregular shape, the traditional Chinese medicine is likely to flow and concentrate towards the bottom of the feed hopper, thereby causing the problem of blockage of the feed hopper, which affects the working efficiency of the color sorter. Summary of the Utility Model

[0012] (III) Beneficial effects

[0013] 1. By providing a filter plate and cooperating with a spring, when Chinese herbal medicines enter the feed hopper, the Chinese herbal medicines first come into contact with the filter plate. When the Chinese herbal medicines enter the filter plate, especially when the flow rate of the Chinese herbal medicines is large, the Chinese herbal medicines will generate a certain impact force on the filter plate. At this time, the Chinese herbal medicines push the filter plate downward, and at this time, the filter plate pushes the protection plate to compress the spring. The spring absorbs and disperses this part of the impact force, thereby protecting the filter plate from damage and extending its service life. During this process, a small number of Chinese herbal medicines with larger volumes are blocked by the filter plate and cannot flow to the bottom of the feed hopper, thus avoiding the blockage at the bottom of the feed hopper from affecting the working efficiency of the color sorter.

[0014] 2. By providing a baffle and cooperating with a limit plate, after the work is completed, at this time, rotate the rotating rod to release the connection between the rotating rod and the threaded rod. At this time, pull the baffle to release the connection between the baffle and the mounting block. At this time, push the limit plate to release the connection between the limit plate and the through hole. At this time, the filter plate can be disassembled from the feed hopper, which is convenient for the staff to thoroughly clean the filter plate and prevent the filter plate from remaining with materials, thereby ensuring the filtering efficiency.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a color sorter with an anti-blocking function, it effectively solves the problem that when Chinese medicinal materials enter the feeding hopper 1, if there are Chinese medicinal materials with a large volume or irregular shape, the Chinese medicinal materials tend to flow and concentrate at the bottom of the feeding hopper 1, thereby causing blockage of the feeding hopper 1 and affecting the working efficiency of the color sorter.

[0025] Embodiment

[0026] Such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 And Figure 7 , the technical solution in the embodiment of the present application effectively solves the problem that when Chinese medicinal materials enter the feeding hopper 1, if there are Chinese medicinal materials with a large volume or irregular shape, the Chinese medicinal materials tend to flow and concentrate at the bottom of the feeding hopper 1, thereby causing blockage of the feeding hopper 1 and affecting the working efficiency of the color sorter. The general idea is as follows:

[0027] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a color sorter with an anti-blocking function. The color sorter with an anti-blocking function includes a feed hopper 1. A filter plate 2 is arranged inside the feed hopper 1. Four limiting mechanisms are arranged inside the feed hopper 1. Each limiting mechanism includes a support plate 3, a spring 4, an opening 5, a protection plate 6 and a limiting plate 7. The support plate 3 is fixedly installed inside the feed hopper 1. The spring 4 is placed outside the support plate 3. The opening 5 is opened outside the support plate 3. The protection plate 6 is slidably connected inside the opening 5. The limiting plate 7 is arranged inside the feed hopper 1. The limiting plate 7 is T-shaped and can limit the upward movement of the filter plate 2. The filter plate 2 is located between the protection plate 6 and the limiting plate 7. By arranging the filter plate 2 and cooperating with the spring 4, when traditional Chinese medicine enters the feed hopper 1, the traditional Chinese medicine first contacts the filter plate 2. When the traditional Chinese medicine enters the filter plate 2, especially when the flow rate of the traditional Chinese medicine is large, the traditional Chinese medicine will generate a certain impact force on the filter plate 2. At this time, the traditional Chinese medicine pushes the filter plate 2 downward. At this time, the filter plate 2 pushes the protection plate 6 to compress the spring 4. The spring 4 absorbs and disperses this part of the impact force, thereby protecting the filter plate 2 from damage and extending its service life. During this process, a small number of traditional Chinese medicines with larger volumes are blocked by the filter plate 2 and cannot flow into the bottom of the feed hopper 1, thus avoiding the blockage at the bottom of the feed hopper 1 from affecting the working efficiency of the color sorter.

[0028] A limiting block 8 is arranged on one side of the feed hopper 1 close to each protection plate 6. The limiting block 8 is T-shaped. A limiting groove 9 is opened outside each protection plate 6. The protection plate 6 is slidably connected outside the limiting block 8 through the limiting groove 9 to prevent the connection between the protection plate 6 and the opening 5 from being released.

[0029] One side of the feed hopper 1 close to each limit plate 7 is provided with a through hole 10, and the limit plate 7 is slidably connected inside the through hole 10, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the limit plate 7. One side of the feed hopper 1 close to each limit block 8 is provided with a mounting hole 11, and the limit block 8 is slidably connected inside the mounting hole 11, which is convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the limit block 8, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the protective plate 6. Both ends of the feed hopper 1 are provided with baffles 12, and mounting blocks 13 are fixedly installed at both ends of the feed hopper 1. The baffle 12 is clamped outside the mounting block 13 to limit the movement of the limit block 8 and the limit plate 7. A threaded rod 14 is fixedly installed outside each mounting block 13, and a rotating rod 15 is threadedly connected to the outside of each threaded rod 14. The rotating rod 15 is composed of three cylindrical plates and the threaded grooves opened thereon. The rotating rod 15 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 14 to strengthen the connection between the baffle 12 and the mounting block 13. By setting the baffle 12 and cooperating with the limit plate 7, after the work is completed, at this time, rotate the rotating rod 15 to release the connection between the rotating rod 15 and the threaded rod 14. At this time, pull the baffle 12 to release the connection between the baffle 12 and the mounting block 13. At this time, push the limit plate 7 to release the connection between the limit plate 7 and the through hole 10. At this time, the filter plate 2 can be removed from the feed hopper 1, which is convenient for the staff to thoroughly clean the filter plate 2 and prevent the filter plate 2 from remaining materials, thereby ensuring the filtering efficiency.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] First step, when installing the filter plate 2, at this time, place the spring 4 on the upper surface of the support plate 3. At this time, slidably connect the protective plate 6 inside the opening 5. At this time, the spring 4 is located inside the protective plate 6. At this time, insert the limit block 8 into the inside of the limit groove 9 through the mounting hole 11. At this time, place the periphery of the filter plate 2 on the upper surface of the protective plate 6. At this time, insert the limit plate 7 into the inside of the feed hopper 1 through the through hole 10. At this time, clamp the baffle 12 outside the mounting block 13. At this time, the baffle 12 fits outside the limit plate 7 and the limit block 8. At this time, threadedly connect the rotating rod 15 to the outside of the threaded rod 14 and fit it outside the baffle 12;

[0032] Second step, when the Chinese herbal medicine enters the feed hopper 1, at this time, the Chinese herbal medicine first contacts the filter plate 2. When the Chinese herbal medicine enters the filter plate 2, the Chinese herbal medicine will generate a certain impact force on the filter plate 2. At this time, the Chinese herbal medicine pushes the filter plate 2 downward. At this time, the filter plate 2 pushes the protective plate 6 to compress the spring 4, and the spring 4 absorbs and disperses this part of the impact force, thereby protecting the filter plate 2 from damage. During this process, a small number of Chinese herbal medicines with larger volumes are blocked by the filter plate 2 and cannot flow to the bottom of the feed hopper 1. After the work is completed, rotate the rotating rod 15 to release the connection between the rotating rod 15 and the threaded rod 14. At this time, pull the baffle 12 to release the connection between the baffle 12 and the mounting block 13. At this time, pull the limit plate 7 to connect the limit plate 7 with the through hole 10. At this time, the filter plate 2 can be taken out for cleaning.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given to clearly illustrate the present utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
