Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Chopsticks are commonly used eating utensils in China and one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.

[0003] In the prior art, due to problems with the raw materials during the production of bamboo chopsticks, it is easy to produce defective products such as broken, twisted, and flaky chopsticks, which can easily affect the quality of the bamboo chopsticks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bamboo chopstick combing and sorting device so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0005] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A bamboo chopstick combing and sorting device comprises an inclined platform, wherein the upper ends of both sides of the inclined platform are provided with mounting side plates, one end of the two mounting side plates is commonly connected to a rotating shaft, an inclined arc surface is provided on the side of the inclined platform corresponding to the rotating shaft, a sorting cylinder is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a plurality of evenly distributed accommodating grooves are provided on the outer surface of the sorting cylinder, and spring clamps are provided on the end walls of the accommodating grooves, and a collecting tray is provided at the bottom end of the inclined platform.

[0007] Furthermore, the center point of the oblique arc surface is located on the axis of the rotation axis.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sorting cylinder is in contact with the oblique arc surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the spring clamp includes two clamping blocks, both of which are inserted into the side wall of the accommodating groove, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks are both arc-shaped, and one end of the two clamping blocks inserted into the side wall of the accommodating groove is provided with a support spring.

[0010] Furthermore, a baffle is provided at one end of the collecting tray close to the sorting barrel, and a side of the baffle away from the collecting tray is tangent to the outer side wall of the sorting barrel.

[0011] Furthermore, a guide truncated cone is provided at one end of the mounting side plate on the bottom side of the rotating shaft, and the outer peripheral surface of the guide truncated cone extends to the interior of the accommodating groove.

[0012] In summary, the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. This bamboo chopstick sorting and sorting device, through the arrangement of the receiving slot and the clamping claws, prevents defective bamboo chopsticks from simultaneously meeting the two conditions of "being able to fully enter the receiving slot and the clamping blocks on both sides being unable to simultaneously adhere to the chopsticks." Therefore, as the defective bamboo chopsticks rotate with the sorting cylinder, it is difficult for the sorting cylinder to rotate at a large angle and, if the opening end of the receiving slot where the defective bamboo chopsticks are located deviates at an angle, the defective bamboo chopsticks will directly slide out of the receiving slot, thereby achieving the effect of rejecting the defective bamboo chopsticks.

[0014] 2. This bamboo chopstick combing and sorting device uses two supporting springs to prop up the clamping blocks. When the bamboo chopsticks are inserted into the accommodating groove, the curved surfaces of the two clamping blocks are in contact with the outer sides of the bamboo chopsticks, thereby fixing the bamboo chopsticks. The arrangement of the two curved surfaces of the clamping blocks reduces the friction between the clamping blocks and the bamboo chopsticks, thereby providing support for the bamboo chopsticks. However, when defective bamboo chopsticks appear, it is difficult to provide complete support, thereby facilitating the discharge of defective bamboo chopsticks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4The utility model discloses a bamboo chopstick combing and sorting device, comprising an inclined platform 1, with mounting side plates 2 provided on both sides of the upper end of the inclined platform 1, one end of the two mounting side plates 2 being commonly connected to a rotating shaft 3, an inclined arc surface 4 being provided on the side of the inclined platform 1 corresponding to the rotating shaft 3, a sorting cylinder 5 being fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 3, a plurality of evenly distributed accommodating grooves 6 being provided on the outer surface of the sorting cylinder 5, and spring clamps 7 being provided on the both end walls of the accommodating grooves 6, and a collecting tray 8 being provided at the bottom end of the inclined platform 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, when in use, the finished bamboo chopsticks are placed at the top of the upper inclined surface of the inclined platform 1, and the bamboo chopsticks are allowed to slide down naturally, move toward one end of the sorting cylinder 5, and fall to the top side of the inclined arc surface 4 before contacting the sorting cylinder 5, and contact the sorting cylinder 5. Since the sorting cylinder 5 is provided with a motor for driving itself, the bamboo chopsticks are clamped into the interior of the receiving groove 6 by the rotation of the sorting cylinder 5 and fixed by the spring clamp 7. Since the receiving groove 6 is a long straight groove, it is impossible to fit both ends of the bamboo chopstick into the receiving groove 6 when the bamboo chopsticks are twisted and bent. When the sorting cylinder 5 drives the bamboo chopsticks to rotate and move at an angle, the bamboo chopsticks fall out in the vertical direction.

[0024] When the length of the bamboo chopsticks is seriously insufficient, the two ends of the bamboo chopsticks still cannot be completely inserted into the interior of the receiving groove 6, and the bamboo chopsticks of insufficient length will be ejected;

[0025] When the bamboo chopsticks are broken into pieces, the diameter of the bamboo chopsticks cannot be fixed by the spring clamps 7 on both sides. However, since the sorting cylinder 5 rotates counterclockwise, the bamboo pieces that are too large to fit into the receiving groove 6 can still be rotated inside the receiving groove 6 by the sorting cylinder 5 until they fall due to gravity.

[0026] When the bamboo chopsticks are intact, they can be directly inserted into the interior of the accommodating groove 6, and the two ends of the bamboo chopsticks can be fixed by the spring clamps 7 to prevent the bamboo chopsticks from falling off under the action of gravity, so that the bamboo chopsticks can follow the sorting cylinder 5 to rotate to the top of the collecting tray 8, and then fall into the interior of the collecting tray 8, thereby achieving the effect of sorting the bamboo chopsticks.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, the center point of the oblique arc surface 4 is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, since the center point of the inclined arc surface 4 is located on the axis of the rotating shaft 3, when the rotating shaft 3 rotates, the relative position distance between the outer wall of the sorting cylinder 5 and the inclined arc surface 4 is always the same, thereby achieving the effect of improving the stability of the device.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, the outer wall of the sorting cylinder 5 is in contact with the oblique arc surface 4 .

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting the outer wall of the sorting tube 5 to fit the inclined arc surface 4, the bamboo chopsticks can be effectively prevented from being stuck in the position between the inclined arc surface 4 and the sorting tube 5, preventing the device from getting stuck, and the bamboo chopsticks can be effectively stuck in the interior of the accommodating groove 6.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, the spring clamp 7 includes two clamping blocks 71, both of which are inserted into the side walls of the accommodating groove 6, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 71 are both arc-shaped, and one end of the two clamping blocks 71 inserted into the side walls of the accommodating groove 6 is provided with a support spring 72.

[0032] In this embodiment, the clamping block 71 is supported by two supporting springs 72. When the bamboo chopsticks are inserted into the receiving groove 6, the curved surfaces of the two clamping blocks 71 are in contact with the outer sides of the bamboo chopsticks, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the bamboo chopsticks. When the bamboo chopsticks are defective;

[0033] The bamboo chopsticks are not long enough: only one end of each chopstick is fixed by the two clamping blocks 71. During the rotation, the other end will deflect, causing the chopsticks to fall off.

[0034] Twisting and deflection of bamboo chopsticks: The bamboo chopsticks cannot be completely inserted into the receiving groove 6. When the bamboo chopsticks rotate with the sorting cylinder 5, they are prone to twisting due to gravity, which may cause the bamboo chopsticks to fall off.

[0035] The chopsticks are flat and sheet-like: As a result, both ends of the chopsticks cannot be fixed by the clamping blocks 71, but they can completely enter the interior of the receiving groove 6. When the sorting cylinder 5 rotates to a certain angle, the receiving groove 6 cannot support the chopsticks, causing them to fall off.

[0036] In summary, when defective bamboo chopsticks appear, they cannot simultaneously fully enter the receiving groove 6 and the clamping blocks 71 on both sides cannot simultaneously adhere to the bamboo chopsticks, thereby achieving the effect of removing the defective chopsticks.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a baffle 9 is provided at one end of the collecting tray 8 close to the sorting cylinder 5 , and a side of the baffle 9 away from the collecting tray 8 is tangent to the outer side wall of the sorting cylinder 5 .

[0038] In this embodiment, through the setting of the baffle 9, when the accommodating groove 6 rotates half a circle from one end of the inclined platform 1, the direction of the supporting force of the accommodating groove 6 on the bamboo chopsticks cannot be perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and then when the bamboo chopsticks are not clamped by the clamping block 71, they will fall off from the inside of the accommodating groove 6.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4As shown, a guide truncated platform 10 is provided at one end of the mounting side plate 2 on the bottom side of the rotating shaft 3 , and the outer peripheral surface of the guide truncated platform 10 extends to the interior of the accommodating groove 6 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the guide truncated platform 10 is provided to push the bamboo chopsticks embedded in the receiving groove 6 so as to separate them from the clamping block 71 and allow them to fall into the collecting tray 8, thereby collecting good products.

[0041] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
