The upper spheres 15 and the lower spheres 16 are at the same distance from the screening shaft 12. When the screening shaft 12 drives the lower sphere 16 on the rotating crank 17 to rotate, the screening disc 112 is lifted and vibrated on the screening shaft 12 through the relative extrusion of the lower spheres 16 and the upper spheres 15. A discharge port 23 is provided on each layer of the cavity of the screening box 21. The screening shaft 12 rotates The rotating brush rod 13 is driven to rotate, and the soft brush 14 at the lower end of the rotating brush rod 13 will continuously sweep the coffee beans.

Then the feeding motor 41 is started to drive the feeding shaft 44 to rotate. The rotation of the feeding shaft drives the feeding blades 45 to rotate, so that the coffee beans in the feeding box 43 move upward in the feeding pipe 42, pass through the feeding pipe 46 and enter the feeding box 27. After entering the screening box 21, the coffee beans first fall on the screening plate 112. The rotation of the screening shaft 12 drives the rotating brush rod 13 to rotate. The soft brush 14 at the lower end of the rotating brush rod 13 rotates to continuously sweep the coffee beans. At the same time, the rotation of the screening shaft 12 drives the rotating crank 17 to rotate, and the lower sphere 16 at the upper end of the rotating crank 17 is constantly squeezed relative to the upper sphere 15 at the lower end of the screening plate 112. Since the lower end edge of the screening plate 112 is provided with a lifting rod 110 with a spring 18, the screening plate 112 vibrates up and down along the rod, and the coffee beans are moved by rotating sweeping and vibrating up and down, so that smaller coffee beans move to the lower layer through the screening holes on the screening plate 112 and larger coffee beans are screened out from the discharge port 23 of this layer by the soft brush 14, thereby achieving the effect of quickly screening out the coffee beans.
