Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sorting, in particular to a dielectric sorting device. Background Art

[0002] The basic principle of dielectric sorting is based on the difference in dielectric constants of different materials in an electric field. When materials are in a non-uniform electric field, they will produce different movement behaviors due to polarization. Dielectric sorting has a wide range of applications in many fields, Mineral sorting: In the mineral processing process, dielectric sorting can be used to separate minerals with different dielectric properties. Agricultural sorting: In the agricultural field, dielectric sorting can be used for seed sorting. Seeds of different varieties or qualities may have different dielectric properties in an electric field, so dielectric sorting technology can be used to grade and screen them. Biomedicine: In the biomedical field, dielectric sorting technology is also used to sort cells, bacteria and other microorganisms.

[0003] At present, when dielectric sorting of seeds is carried out in agriculture, most of them have a sorting cylinder structure, that is, the seeds need to fall on the sorting cylinder, which is driven by the sorting cylinder to rotate a certain distance. At the same time, the sorting cylinder is used as a single electrode or combined with additional electrodes to form a double electrode. Since the sorting cylinder is a circular surface, the seeds are in contact with it for a limited time. Some seeds are prone to being unpolarized or insufficiently polarized and fall directly to the full partition, resulting in a decrease in the seed sorting effect in the full partition.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-5, a dielectric sorting device, including a belt roller 1 and a belt roller 2, a conveyor belt 3 is wound on the belt roller 1 and the belt roller 2, the conveyor belt 3 is composed of a multi-layer structure, including an upper surface adhesive layer 7, an upper fiber mesh layer 8, an electrode 9, a lower fiber mesh layer 11 and a lower surface adhesive layer 12, the upper fiber mesh layer 8 and the lower fiber mesh layer 11 are glued together, a plurality of electrodes 9 are provided, and the plurality of electrodes 9 are equally spaced between the upper fiber mesh layer 8 and the lower fiber mesh layer 11, and the electrodes 9 are longitudinally distributed and parallel to the horizontal direction of the conveyor belt 3. The upper surface adhesive layer 7 is glued and hot-pressed to the top surface of the upper fiber mesh layer 8 away from the electrode 9, and the lower surface adhesive layer 12 is glued and hot-pressed to the bottom surface of the lower fiber mesh layer 11 away from the electrode 9. Both ends of the electrode 9 are welded with power terminals 10, and the power terminals 10 pass through the upper fiber mesh layer 8 and the upper surface adhesive layer 7 at the corresponding position and extend to the surface of the conveyor belt 3;

[0029] Roller shafts 4 are installed at both ends of belt roller 1 and belt roller 2, and motor 16 is installed below roller shaft 4. The shaft of motor 16 and roller shaft 4 are connected by belt 15. A brush roller 16 is provided on the rear side of belt roller 2, and the bristles of brush roller 16 are against the surface of conveyor belt 3. Motor 2 18 is installed below one end of brush roller 16, and the shaft of motor 2 18 is connected to the brush roller 16 at the corresponding position by belt 2 17. The outer surfaces of both ends of conveyor belt 3 at belt roller 1 are provided with power connection bars 13, which are in contact with power connection terminals 10, and the power connection bars 13 are integrally formed with protruding connection terminals 14. A plurality of partitions 15 are provided between the end position of corresponding power connection bar 13 below conveyor belt 3 and below brush roller 16.

[0030] When in use, start motor 16 and motor 2 18, and connect the electric field generator from the terminal 14. Since the electrode 9 is connected as a whole, the electric field generator should also be a single-electrode electric field generator, such as Denba single-electrode electric field generator. The electric field generator applies high voltage to the electrode 9 to generate an asymmetric electric field distribution, forming a strong electric field force in space to affect the surrounding medium, and putting the materials to be sorted such as seeds that can be dielectrically sorted into the upper surface of the conveyor belt 3. The motor 16 drives the belt roller 1 to rotate through the belt 15 and the roller shaft 4 to transport the materials forward. When the conveyor belt 3 rotates, The power connection end 10 on its surface slides in contact with the power connection bar 13 to form conduction. When the material enters the electric field of the electrode 9, it is polarized and the material continues to be transported downward. Since the fullness of different seeds is different, their dielectric constants are also different. Therefore, they are affected differently in the electric field and are carried away by the conveyor belt 3 to different degrees, so that they fall into different partitions 15 to form separation, thereby achieving a sorting effect. Due to the long conveying distance of the conveyor belt 3 and the setting of the power connection bar 13, the material can enter polarization on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 3, and at the same time, a certain polarization time is maintained on the lower surface of the conveyor belt 3, ensuring sufficient polarization of the material to ensure the sorting effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, side frame plates 19 are provided at both ends of the belt roller 1 and the belt roller 2, and a through-opening 20 is preset on the side frame plate 19 near the top. Both ends of the conveyor belt 3 are located in the through-opening 20, and sealing strips 21 are welded and installed on the peripheral walls of the through-opening 20. The sealing strips 21 are in sliding contact and sealed against the surface of the conveyor belt 3. A front baffle 24 is welded and installed on the side frame plate 19 on the front side of the belt roller 1, and a rear baffle 25 is welded and installed on the side frame plate 19 below the brush roller 16. Both ends of the partition plate 15 are welded and fixed to the side frame plates 19 at the corresponding positions. A drop opening 1 27, a drop opening 28 and a drop opening 3 29 are formed between the front baffle 24, the side frame plate 19, the partition plate 15 and the rear baffle 25.

[0032] The side frame plate 19 is provided with shaft seats 23 bolted on both ends of the corresponding roller shaft 4 and both ends of the brush roller 16. Both ends of the roller shaft 4 and the brush roller 16 are sleeved on the shaft seats 23 at the corresponding positions to form a set and fixed. The side frame plate 19 is located on the inner side of the power connection end 10 on the conveyor belt 3. The side frame plate 19 is provided with an insulating fastener 22 screwed on the corresponding position of the power connection bar 13. The power connection bar 13 is fixed to the insulating fastener 22. The top surface of the rear baffle 25 is provided with an arc-shaped baffle 26 welded on the outer periphery of the brush roller 16.

[0033] The side frame 19, the front baffle 24 and the rear baffle 25 constitute the main support frame. During sorting, the relatively full seeds have relatively uniform internal structural components, so their dielectric constant is relatively small and they are subject to less polarization. Therefore, after falling through the conveyor belt 3, they are more likely to fall into the drop port 1 27. The shriveled seeds have a relatively large dielectric constant and are greatly affected by polarization. After falling through the conveyor belt 3, they still maintain polarization for a certain period of time and will be driven to the drop port 3 29 position to fall. At the same time, the brush roller 16 rotates to sweep the shriveled seeds still attached to the surface of the conveyor belt 3 and drop through the drop port 3 29. The seeds between full and shriveled have a shorter polarization time than full seeds but longer than shriveled seeds, so they fall from the drop port 2 28 in the middle. The side frame 19 also separates the connecting terminal 10 from the material, and is matched with the sealing strip 21 to form a contact seal against the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to ensure stable contact between the connecting bar 13 and the connecting terminal 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, a guide plate 30 is provided above the conveyor belt 3 at the position of the belt roller 2 2. The front end of the guide plate 30 is arranged obliquely downward toward the conveyor belt 3. Both sides of the guide plate 30 are bolted to the side frame plates 19 at the corresponding positions.

[0035] When inputting materials, the materials can be inputted onto the material guide plate 30 and then dropped onto the conveyor belt 3 , or the material guide plate 30 can be used to form a barrier to prevent the materials from falling backward over the conveyor belt 3 .
