[0026] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] The present application provides a multi-channel discharging conveyor line for betel nut processing, comprising a support frame 1; an X-ray machine 5 is provided on one side of the support frame 1; a discharging frame 7 is provided on one side of the X-ray machine 5; a material distribution conveyor line 12 is provided transversely on the top of the discharging frame 7; a conveyor line mechanism 10 is provided longitudinally on the top of the material distribution conveyor line 12; conveyor troughs 1001 are provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the conveyor line mechanism 10; a conveyor 1002 is provided at the bottom of the conveyor trough 1001; and a material distribution mechanism 11 is provided at equal intervals on the inner side of the conveyor trough 1001;

[0029] The material distribution mechanism 11 includes a blowing block 1101, a solenoid valve 1102, a guide plate 1103 and a discharge port 1104. The inner wall of the conveying trough 1001 is fitted with a blowing block 1101, the inner side of the conveying trough 1001 is provided with a discharge port 1104, the top of the discharge port 1104 is fixedly installed with a guide plate 1103, the inner wall of the conveying trough 1001 is provided with a solenoid valve 1102 on one side of the guide plate 1103, and a hoist 2 is provided on one side of the support frame 1. One end of the hoist 2 A hopper 3 is provided, and three sets of vibrating disk mechanisms 4 are installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the support frame 1. The guide plate 1103 is arranged obliquely in the inner cavity of the discharge port 1104. The bottom of the discharge port 1104 is arranged corresponding to the material distribution conveyor line 12. A through slot 501 is opened on the inner side of the X-ray machine 5, and a conveyor 6 is fixedly installed inside the through slot 501. A conveyor line side plate 8 is provided at the position of the conveyor line mechanism 10 at one end of the discharge frame 7, and a beam sensor 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the conveyor line side plate 8.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, firstly, the betel nut is loaded manually and poured into the hopper 3 of the elevator 2. The elevator 2 lifts the betel nut into the inner cavity of the support frame 1 for assembly and enters the vibration plate mechanism 4. The vibration plate mechanism 4 is divided into three levels. The first vibration plate is close to the hopper 3. After the betel nut enters the first vibration plate, it continues to move forward and enters the second vibration plate. The second vibration plate is located just above the flower stalk return conveyor line. A long slot is opened on the second vibration plate to facilitate the dust on the flower stalk and betel nut to fall off. After passing through the second vibration plate, the betel nut continues to move forward to the third vibration plate. After passing through the third vibration plate After the plate falls into the acceleration conveyor line, the betel nut is accelerated on the acceleration conveyor line. After passing the acceleration conveyor line, the betel nut enters the X-ray machine 5. The betel nut is detected and identified in the X-ray machine 5, and the thickness, length and other parameters of the betel nut are calculated. The betel nut is classified according to the classification level given in advance. The X-ray machine 5 transmits the classification information to the PLC. After the inspection, the betel nut is conveyed by the conveyor 6 in the inner cavity of the X-ray machine 5 and enters the six conveyors 1002. When the betel nut enters the six conveyors 1002, there is a pair of counter-shooting sensors on both sides of each conveyor line in the six conveyors 1002. Sensor 9, the beam sensor 9 is used to detect the position of the betel nut and send a signal to the PLC about the position of the betel nut. The PLC accurately controls the blowing time and position of the solenoid valve 1102 according to the two signals. After the betel nut passes the sensor and reaches the blowing position, the PLC controls the blowing block 1101 to open and blow the betel nut off. The blown-off betel nut falls into the six material distribution conveyor lines 12 through the guide plate 1103 and the discharge port 1104. The six return hoppers 13 are divided into six different wall thickness grades of betel nut. The conveyor 1002 collects the betel nut of the same wall thickness grade. They are gathered together for easy collection. If the betel nut is not identified or does not meet any wall thickness grade, it will be transported by the six main conveyor lines to the return hopper 13 at the back for further inspection and sorting. At this point, the entire betel nut wall thickness inspection is completed. Through the coordinated use of the material separation conveyor line 12, the material separation mechanism 11 and the conveyor 1002, not only can betel nut fruits of different thicknesses and grades be quickly screened and transported, but the thickness of the betel nut can also be further quickly detected, thereby further improving the working efficiency and convenience of the device in screening betel nut fruits.

[0031] Furthermore, a gas tank 14 is installed in the inner cavity of the discharge frame 7, and the gas tank 14 is connected to the blowing block 1101 through an air pipe;

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, when the device is in use, it is connected to the blowing block 1101 inside the device through a connecting tube, providing wind power to the blowing block 1101 and providing a power source for the betel nut sorting inside the device, thereby ensuring the normal use of the device to a certain extent.

[0033] Furthermore, collection baskets 15 are staggeredly arranged on both sides of the discharge rack 7 and at positions corresponding to the six groups of material conveying lines 12;

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the sorted betel nuts are blown onto the surface of the sorting conveyor line 12 by the sorting mechanism 11 , the betel nuts transported by the sorting conveyor line 12 can be collected by the collecting basket 15 .

[0035] Furthermore, two sets of reflux buckets 13 are provided at one end of the discharging frame 7, and a buffer pad 1301 is provided at the bottom of the reflux bucket 13;

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, when the device is sorting betel nuts, the gas of the identified betel nuts is blown toward the drop chute through the blowing plate. The betel nuts passing through the solenoid valve 1102 will be blown away by the air and slide along the slope of the drop chute to the bottom material conveyor line 12. The unidentified or unqualified betel nuts will be brought by the belt to the return hopper 13 at the back for centralized collection and processing. A buffer pad 1301 is provided at the bottom of the return hopper 13 to prevent the betel nuts from hitting the sheet metal and generating noise.

[0037] Working principle: Pour the betel nut into the hopper 3 of the elevator 2. The elevator 2 lifts the betel nut into the inner cavity of the support frame 1 and assembles it into the vibration plate mechanism 4. The vibration plate mechanism 4 is divided into three levels. The first vibration plate is close to the hopper 3. After the betel nut enters the first vibration plate, it continues to move forward and enters the second vibration plate. The second vibration plate is located just above the pedicle reflux conveyor line. There are long slots on the second vibration plate to facilitate the dust on the pedicle and betel nut to fall off. After passing through the second vibration plate, the betel nut continues to move forward to the third vibration plate. After passing through the third vibration plate, it falls into the acceleration conveyor line. The betel nut is accelerated on the acceleration conveyor line. After passing through the acceleration conveyor line, the betel nut enters the X-ray machine 5. The betel nut is detected and identified in the X-ray machine 5, and the thickness, length and other parameters of the betel nut are calculated. The betel nut is classified according to the classification level given in advance. The X-ray machine 5 transmits the classification information to the PLC. After the inspection, the betel nut is conveyed out by the conveyor 6 in the inner cavity of the X-ray machine 5. Entering the six conveyors 1002, when just entering the six conveyors 1002, there is a pair of shooting sensors 9 on both sides of each conveyor line in the six conveyors 1002. The shooting sensor 9 is used to detect the position of the betel nut and give the PLC a signal of the betel nut position. The PLC accurately controls the blowing time and blowing position of the solenoid valve 1102 based on the two signals. After the betel nut passes the sensor, it reaches the blowing position. The blowing block 1101 is turned on by the PLC to blow the betel nut off. The blown-off betel nut falls into the six material distribution conveyor lines 12 through the guide plate 1103 and the discharge port 1104. The six return hoppers 13 are divided into six different wall thickness grades of betel nut. The conveyor 1002 gathers the betel nut of the same wall thickness grade together for easy collection. The betel nut that is not identified or does not meet any wall thickness grade will be transported by the six main conveyor lines to the return hopper 13 at the back for further inspection and sorting.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified and replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
