[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model provides an unmanned intelligent integrated inspection machine for grain impurities, including an air suction collection pipe 802; an anti-crushing discharger 401, which is connected to the air suction collection pipe 802; an impurity screening machine 402, which is arranged below the anti-crushing discharger 401 and is used to screen larger impurities; an impurity air separator 409, which is arranged on one side of the grain impurity screening machine 402 and is used to air separator lighter impurities; a side-by-side impurity selector 403, which is arranged below the impurity screening machine 402 and is used to separate side-by-side grains and normal grains; an impurity weighing scale 415, which is respectively connected to the outlets of the impurity screening machine 402 and the impurity air separator 409 and is used to weigh impurities; a side-by-side impurity weighing scale 404, which is arranged below the side-by-side impurity selector 403 and is used to weigh side-by-side impurities; a grain weighing scale 405, which is arranged below the side-by-side impurity selector 403 and is used to weigh grains; a hopper 412, which is connected to the anti-crushing discharger 401 and is used to provide inspection grains.
[0035] The suction manifold 802 is connected to a suction fan, which serves as the power source of the system and drives the grain transportation through negative pressure airflow. The air inlet side of the suction fan is connected to the suction manifold 802. The suction manifold 802 is made of stainless steel or galvanized iron pipe to ensure corrosion resistance and structural strength. Specifically, the suction manifold 802 is connected to the anti-crushing discharger 401, and the anti-crushing discharger 401 independently controls the air flow through the suction switch solenoid valve 803. A hopper 412 is provided on one side of the anti-crushing discharger 401. A grain impurity inspection scale 411 is provided above the hopper 412 for weighing the total weight of grain and impurities. A grain suction pipe 410 is connected between the hopper 412 and the anti-crushing discharger 401. The solenoid valve is electrically connected to the material sensor 413 at the bottom of the hopper 412 to achieve automatic opening and closing. A discharge port is provided at the lower end of the anti-crushing discharger 401. The discharge port outlet faces the grain impurity screening machine 402 for grain impurity screening and inspection.
[0036] Specifically, when a material sensor 413 at the bottom of hopper 412 detects that grain needs to be inspected in the suction hopper, it is electrically connected to the suction switch solenoid valve 803. Material sensor 413, which uses a capacitive or photoelectric sensor, monitors the grain level in the suction hopper in real time and transmits the signal to the control system. The system controls the opening and closing of the solenoid valve according to preset logic, enabling unmanned operation. When the solenoid valve of the anti-crushing discharger 401 is opened, grain enters the system through the hopper 412. A grain impurity inspection scale 411 is installed above the hopper 412 to weigh the total weight of the grain and impurities. The grain is then transported to the anti-crushing discharger 401 through the grain suction pipe 410. Due to the negative pressure generated by the suction fan, the discharge plate of the anti-crushing discharger seals the discharge port, and the grain is transported to the anti-crushing discharger. The grain accumulates at the discharge port under the action of gravity. When the material sensor 413 detects that the amount of grain in the suction hopper has reached the threshold, it triggers the suction switch solenoid valve 803 to close, stopping the current conveying. After the downstream process is completed, the solenoid valve is reopened to achieve precise batch feeding. When it is necessary to continue conveying to the next level of inspection equipment, the switch solenoid valve of the anti-crushing discharger is closed, and the grain opens the discharge plate under the action of gravity, and the grain falls from the discharge port into the suction hopper of the next level. This device is equipped with a discharge plate. This plate, in conjunction with an on / off solenoid valve, precisely controls the opening and closing of the anti-crushing discharger. The negative pressure generated by the suction fan transports the grain from the suction hopper to the anti-crushing discharger. The anti-crushing discharger then buffers the grain and transfers it to the next suction hopper for quality inspection. The discharge plate design effectively reduces grain breakage, improves conveying efficiency and automation, and reduces operating and maintenance costs. In this embodiment, sensors and solenoid valves are linked to achieve precise feeding, reducing manual intervention and improving inspection efficiency.

A drive mechanism 434 is disposed below the sieve frame 431. The movable end of the drive mechanism 434 is hingedly connected to the sieve body 430, and the drive mechanism 434 is used to drive the sieve body 430 to shake. The sieve body 430 includes a large impurity screen 432, a small impurity screen 433, and a sieve shell 440. The large impurity screen 432 and the small impurity screen 433 are respectively connected to the sieve shell 440 by plugging and movably connecting. The large impurity screen 432 is disposed above the small impurity screen 433. One end of the sieve shell 440 is hingedly connected to the drive mechanism 434, and the sieve shell 440 is slidably connected to the sieve frame 431. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sieve shell 440 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, formed by welding stainless steel, and a large impurity screen 432 (aperture 8mm) and a small impurity screen 433 (aperture 2mm) are installed in sequence from top to bottom inside. The two are movably connected to the side wall of the sieve shell 440 by snaps, which are convenient for disassembly and replacement. The bottom of the sieve shell 440 is fixedly connected to the driving mechanism 434, and the driving mechanism 434 drives the sieve shell 440 to swing back and forth in the horizontal direction; the end of the sieve shell 440 is connected to the impurity discharge box 437 for collecting the impurities after screening. The lower hopper is provided at the top of the sieve shell 440, and three rectangular outlets (unnumbered) are provided at the bottom thereof, facing the front, middle and rear areas of the sieve shell 440 respectively, to ensure that the grains are evenly dispersed on the surface of the sieve.
[0038] The drive mechanism 434 includes a vibration motor 443, an eccentric wheel 444, and a connecting rod 445. The vibration motor 443 is fixedly connected to the sieve frame 431. The output shaft of the vibration motor 443 is connected to the eccentric wheel 444. One end of the connecting rod 445 is hingedly connected to the eccentric wheel 444. Slide rails 439 are respectively provided on both sides of the sieve frame 431. The slide rails 439 are provided with sliders 438, and the sliders 438 are fixedly connected to the sieve shell 440. The other end of the connecting rod 445 is hingedly connected to an ear plate 446, which is provided below the sieve shell 440. One end of the sieve shell 440 is fixedly connected to the ear plate 446. In this embodiment of the utility model, the vibration motor 443 is an asynchronous motor. The rotation speed of the vibration motor 443 is 90 r / min, the eccentricity of the eccentric wheel 444 is 20 mm, and the vibration frequency of the sieve shell 440 is 1.5 times per second. Vibration motor 443 is bolted to the bottom of sieve frame 431, with its output shaft keyed to eccentric wheel 444. Connecting rod 445 is hinged to eccentric wheel 444 at one end and hinged to lug plate 446 at the other end via a pin. Lug plate 446 is a U-shaped double-lug plate with a circular hole for hinged connection with connecting rod 445. When vibration motor 443 rotates, one end of connecting rod 445 rotates with eccentric wheel 444, while the other end drives sieve housing 440 to swing. Sieve housing 440 slides with slider 438 via slide rail 439, achieving back-and-forth reciprocating swinging, thereby screening out impurities. In this embodiment, the slide rails 439 are two parallel cylindrical rails (0.6m long) fixed to either side of the sieve housing 440 and respectively fixedly connected to the sieve frame 431. The sliders 438 are copper-based graphite bushings that fit over the slide rails 439 and are bolted to the sieve housing 440 via fixed angle irons 441 (5mm thick) using M10 bolts spaced 150mm apart. This rail-slider structure reduces frictional resistance when the sieve housing 440 is shaken and limits its motion.
[0039] A bracket 436 is located below the sieve frame 431. The sieve body 430 is hingedly connected to the bracket 436. A lifting mechanism 442 is located below the sieve body 430 at the end opposite the bracket 436. This lifting mechanism 442 is used to raise one end of the sieve body 430.

When the lifting mechanism 442 is raised or lowered, the end of the sieve shell 440 rotates about the hinged axis, discharging the grain or impurities.

[0049] Workflow:
[0050] Grain detection trigger:
[0051] When the vibrating feeder 501 transports grains evenly according to the intervals between grain particles, and the grains fall freely after passing the end of the vibrating feeder 501, the photoelectric sensor 502 is arranged below the end of the vibrating feeder 501. When it detects that the grains have entered the sorting area, it triggers the camera component to take a picture. After receiving the signal from the photoelectric sensor 502, the PLC sends a picture-taking instruction to the camera component. The camera takes an image of the grain and transmits it to the image processing unit via Ethernet or a serial port. The image processing algorithm extracts features mainly based on shape features. The shape of the side-by-side impurities is different from that of the grains. The graphics processing unit sends the processing result to the PLC whether it is side-by-side impurities. The PLC calculates the action timing of the actuator, specifically the nozzle 505, based on the received grain inspection information and sensor feedback such as object position and falling speed. The output control signal drives the actuator nozzle 505 to act, separates the side-by-side impurities from the grains, blows the side-by-side impurities into the grain side-by-side impurity weighing scale, and comprehensively calculates the ratio of the side-by-side impurities to the total weight of the grains to obtain the percentage of side-by-side impurities in the grains.
