The use of the telescopic member 261 is used to provide power for the movement of the connecting belt 263. The connecting belt 263 is made of glass fiber filaments. The design of the second pulley 266 and the first pulley 264 is used to change the moving direction of the connecting belt 263.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 shown, the fixing member 262 includes a clamp 262a and a bolt 262b. The clamp 262a is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the telescopic member 261, and the clamp 262a is connected to the bearing bracket 21 through the bolt 262b;

[0042] Specifically, two clamps 262a are provided, and four bolts 262b are provided on each clamp 262a to fix the use position of the telescopic member 261;

[0043] Based on this, other fixing members can be used to connect the telescopic member 261 and the bearing bracket 21 as long as the stability of the telescopic member 261 during use is satisfied.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, a discharge assembly 3 is installed in the color sorter body 1. The discharge assembly 3 is used to export the collected rice. The discharge assembly 3 includes a hydraulic rod 31, a frame 32, a backing plate 33, and a connecting member 34. The hydraulic rod 31 is fixedly connected to the color sorter body 1, the frame 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 31. The frame 32 is located at the bottom of the discharge port of the color sorter body 1. The backing plate 33 is connected to the frame 32 through the connecting member 34, and the backing plate 33 is located at the bottom end of the frame 32.

[0045] Specifically, a compensation pad is provided between the hydraulic rod 31 and the color sorter body 1 to make the hydraulic rod 31 in a horizontal state. Two hydraulic rods 31 are fixedly connected to each frame 32, and the backing plate 33 is hinged to one end of the frame 32 close to the hydraulic rod 31;

[0046] Exemplarily, a frame 32 is provided at the bottom of each discharge port of the color sorter body 1, and the number and shape of the frames 32 used are not specifically limited.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 shown, the connecting member 34 includes a rotating shaft 341 and a right-angle plate 342. The outer periphery of the rotating shaft 341 is fixedly connected to the backing plate 33, the right-angle plate 342 is connected to the rotating shaft 341 through a bearing, and the end of the right-angle plate 342 away from the rotating shaft 341 is fixedly connected to the frame 32.

The right-angle plate 342 cooperates with the use of the rotating shaft 341 to realize the opening and closing between the backing plate 33 and the frame 32;

[0049] Exemplarily, the right-angle plate 342 can be replaced with other hinge structures in cooperation with the use of the rotating shaft 341. Based on this, the frame 32 and the backing plate 33 can also be connected by a hinge.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, a baffle 321 is fixedly connected to the frame 32, and the baffle 321 is used to close the discharge port of the color sorter body 1.

[0051] It should be noted that the upper surface of the baffle 321 and the discharge port of the color sorter body 1 are on the same horizontal line. When discharging the rice in the frame 32, the baffle 321 closes the discharge port of the color sorter body 1 to prevent the rice in the color sorter body 1 from leaking out of the discharge port.

[0052] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the reset member 25 includes a pull rod 251, a circular plate 252 and a compression spring 253. The pull rod 251 is inserted into the circular hole of the bearing bracket 21. One end of the pull rod 251 is fixedly connected to the feed hopper 24. The circular plate 252 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rod 251 away from the feed hopper 24.

[0053] Specifically, there are two pull rods 251. Grooves adapted to the pull rods 251 are formed in the bearing bracket 21. The design of the circular plate 252 is used to restrict the position of the compression spring 253 on the pull rod 251. The elastic potential energy of the compression spring 253 can be used to drive the feed hopper 24 to reset.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, a conical cavity is machined at the bottom of the feed hopper 24.

[0055] Specifically, the feed hopper 24 is designed with a conical cavity, which is convenient for the rice to gather at the bottom of the feed hopper 24, and the discharge port of the feed hopper 24 is strip-shaped, which is beneficial to the discharge of the rice.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the telescopic member 261 is an electric push rod.

[0057] The design of selecting the electric push rod for the telescopic member 261 is used to drive the connecting belt 263 to move;

[0058] In addition, the telescopic member 261 can also be replaced with other telescopic elements or reciprocating structures, as long as it can drive the connecting belt 263 to move within a large range.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the backing plate 33, and the rubber pad is used to increase the sealing performance between the backing plate 33 and the frame 32.

[0060] Specifically, the rubber pad is made of rubber material. The rubber pad is located between the backing plate 33 and the frame 32. The plasticity of the rubber pad is utilized to increase the sealing performance between the backing plate 33 and the frame 32, preventing the leakage of rice.

[0061] The working principle of the present application will be described below with a preferred embodiment:

[0062] When using the color sorter body 1 to sort rice, the rice is put into the feed hopper 24. Subsequently, the telescopic member 261 is activated. When the output end of the telescopic member 261 contracts, it drives the connecting belt 263 to move between the first pulley 264 and the second pulley 266. At the same time, the connecting belt 263 drives the feed hopper 24 to move, and the sliding seat 23 moves horizontally along the outer wall of the sliding rod 22 with the feed hopper 24. When the pull rod 251 moves with the feed hopper 24, the circular plate 252 on the pull rod 251 compresses the compression spring 253 on the outer wall of the pull rod 251. When the output end of the telescopic member 261 extends, it drives the pull rod 251 to reset under the elastic potential energy of the compression spring 253. At this time, the feed hopper 24 resets together with the pull rod 251. Through the horizontal reciprocating movement of the feed hopper 24, the rice is evenly scattered onto the guide plate 11, and the rice enters the color sorter body 1 through the guide plate 11 for infrared sorting. The sorted rice is discharged through different discharge ports. The rice falls into the cavity formed by the frame 32 and the backing plate 33 for storage. When it is necessary to discharge the collected rice, the hydraulic rod 31 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic rod 31 pushes the frame 32 and the backing plate 33 to move outward. When the backing plate 33 is separated from the color sorter body 1, the frame 32 drives the baffle 321 to close the discharge port of the color sorter body 1. The backing plate 33 rotates in the right-angle plate 342 through the rotating shaft 341, and then the rice is discharged through the bottom of the frame 32. After the hydraulic rod 31 drives the frame 32 to reset, the baffle 321 is separated from the discharge port of the color sorter body 1, and then the sorted rice enters the frame 32.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
