Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of color sorters, in particular to a material guiding device for a shrimp color sorter. Background Art

[0002] A color sorter is a device that uses photoelectric detection technology to automatically sort out different-colored particles from granular materials based on the differences in the optical properties of the materials. The shrimp color sorter is a mechanical device used for sorting and removing impurities from seafood such as shrimp. Through optical principles and technologies, it can quickly and accurately identify and separate impurities, different-colored particles, etc. in shrimp, thereby improving the purity and quality of the product.

[0003] Currently, when staff put dried shrimps into the color sorter for sorting and removing impurities, they use a funnel to pour the dried shrimps into the color sorter. However, the dried shrimps poured through the funnel will be pushed together after entering the color sorter, causing the dried shrimps and impurities at the bottom to be buried, making it impossible for the color sorter to effectively distinguish impurities and different-colored particles in the shrimps. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the above problems, a material guiding device for a shrimp color sorter is provided, which uses a motor to drive a rotating rod to rotate, and further drives a stirring rod and a blocking block to rotate. The stirring rod can be used to stir the material inside the feed hopper to prevent the material from being blocked during feeding, thereby slowing down the feeding speed. At the same time, the rotating blocking block can be used to intermittently block the inlet end of the guide pipe, which can ensure the quantitative feeding of the material and prevent a large amount of material from accumulating inside the color sorter body in a short period of time, resulting in the color sorter body being unable to screen the material at the bottom when working. Finally, the diversion pipe outside the guide pipe can be used to distribute the material inside the color sorter body on the top of the filter screen to further prevent the material from gathering together.

[0005] In order to solve the problems of the existing technology, the utility model provides a material guiding device for a shrimp color sorter, comprising a color sorter body, a motor and a feed hopper are arranged on the top of the color sorter body, the outside of the feed hopper is connected to symmetrical material guide pipes, the other ends of the two material guide pipes extend to the interior of the color sorter body, the interiors of the two material guide pipes are connected to a number of diversion pipes, the output shaft of the motor is provided with a rotating rod through a coupling, the top of the rotating rod extends to the interior of the feed hopper, and the outside of the rotating rod is provided with a blocking block for blocking the inlet end of the material guide pipe.

[0006] Preferably, a second synchronous wheel and a stirring rod for stirring the material are provided on the outside of the rotating rod.

[0007] Preferably, a card frame is provided inside the color sorter body, a filter is movably provided inside the card frame, and the other end of the filter extends to the outside of the color sorter body.

[0008] Preferably, symmetrical spring telescopic rods are provided inside the card frame, and the telescopic ends of the spring telescopic rods are connected to the side walls of the filter screen.

[0009] Preferably, a support seat is provided on the outer wall of the color sorter body, a linkage rod is rotatably provided on the top of the support seat, and a cam that conflicts with the filter screen is provided on the outside of the linkage rod.

[0010] Preferably, a first synchronous wheel is provided on the outside of the linkage rod, and the first synchronous wheel is connected to the second synchronous wheel through a synchronous belt transmission.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Driven by the motor, the rotating rod rotates, in turn driving the stirring rod and the blocking block to rotate together. The stirring rod effectively stirs the material inside the feed hopper, preventing clogging during material discharge and ensuring that the feed rate is not slowed down by clogging. Simultaneously, the rotating blocking block periodically blocks the inlet end of the guide tube. This intermittent blocking method ensures quantitative material discharge and prevents excessive material from accumulating within the color sorter body within a short period of time. If there is too much material, the color sorter body will not be able to effectively screen the material at the bottom during operation, thus affecting the screening effect. In addition, the diverter pipe outside the guide tube evenly distributes the material to the top of the filter screen inside the color sorter body, further preventing material from accumulating on the filter screen and ensuring that the material is evenly distributed on the filter screen, thereby improving the screening efficiency and accuracy of the color sorter.

[0013] 2. The rotation of the rotating rod drives the first synchronous wheel to rotate accordingly. Subsequently, the first synchronous wheel and the timing belt work together to act on the second synchronous wheel, which in turn drives the linkage rod and cam to rotate together. This mechanism allows the cam to continuously apply pressure to the filter screen. Simultaneously, the filter screen maintains a state of continuous vibration due to the elastic force of the spring-loaded telescopic rod. This vibration disperses any material that falls on the top of the filter screen, preventing accumulation and aggregation. Ultimately, the material naturally falls through the filter holes inside the filter screen, effectively preventing aggregation. This allows the color sorter to perform its material screening tasks more smoothly and efficiently. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides:

[0023] A material guiding device for a shrimp color sorter includes a color sorter body 1. A motor 5 and a feed hopper 4 are provided on the top of the color sorter body 1. The outside of the feed hopper 4 is connected to symmetrical material guiding pipes 3. The other ends of the two material guiding pipes 3 extend to the interior of the color sorter body 1. The interiors of the two material guiding pipes 3 are connected to a plurality of diversion pipes 11. The output shaft of the motor 5 is provided with a rotating rod 13 through a coupling. The top of the rotating rod 13 extends to the interior of the feed hopper 4. The outside of the rotating rod 13 is provided with a blocking block 15 for blocking the inlet end of the material guiding pipe 3.

[0024] Driven by the motor 5, the rotating rod 13 rotates, thereby driving the blocking block 15 to intermittently block the inlet end of the guide tube 3. This blocking mechanism ensures the quantitative discharge of materials and prevents excessive accumulation of materials within the color sorter body 1 within a short period of time. If too much material accumulates, the color sorter body 1 will not be able to effectively screen the materials at the bottom during operation. In addition, the diverter pipe 11 outside the guide tube 3 can evenly distribute the materials to the top of the filter screen 7 inside the color sorter body 1. This further prevents the accumulation of materials on the filter screen 7 and ensures that the materials are evenly distributed on the filter screen 7, thereby improving the screening efficiency and effectiveness of the color sorter.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 4 As shown, a second synchronous wheel 12 and a stirring rod 14 for stirring the material are provided on the outside of the rotating rod 13 .

[0026] Rotating the rotating rod 13 drives the stirring rod 14 to rotate. The main function of the stirring rod 14 is to thoroughly stir and mix the material inside the feed hopper 4. This effective stirring action prevents material blockage during the feeding process, ensuring that the feeding speed is not slowed down by blockage, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the entire production process.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a card frame 10 is provided inside the color sorter body 1 , a filter screen 7 is movably provided inside the card frame 10 , and the other end of the filter screen 7 extends to the outside of the color sorter body 1 .

[0028] By adopting a filter screen 7 with a vibration function, the material accumulated on its surface can be effectively shaken out. When the material falls on the top of the filter screen 7, the vibration mechanism will be activated, causing the surface of the filter screen 7 to vibrate, thereby dispersing the material under the action of the vibration. This shaking-out process helps prevent the material from agglomerating into large clumps on the surface of the filter screen 7, thereby ensuring that the material can be evenly distributed on the filter screen 7. Subsequently, these shaken materials will gradually fall through the tiny filter holes inside the filter screen 7, further ensuring that the material remains dispersed during the falling process. This design not only improves the fluidity of the material, but also effectively prevents the material from clogging on the surface of the filter screen 7, thereby providing a smoother and more efficient screening environment for the color sorter body 1. The color sorter body 1 can more easily and accurately screen these dispersed and uniform materials, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of screening.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, a symmetrical spring telescopic rod 17 is provided inside the card frame 10 , and the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 17 is connected to the side wall of the filter screen 7 .

[0030] By using the spring telescopic rod 17, the filter screen 7 can be effectively driven to vibrate.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, a support base 6 is provided on the outer wall of the color sorter body 1 , a linkage rod 2 is rotatably provided on the top of the support base 6 , and a cam 16 is provided on the outside of the linkage rod 2 to interfere with the filter screen 7 .

[0032] The cam 16 is driven by the linkage 2 to continuously rotate. As the linkage 2 rotates, the cam 16 on its surface continuously applies pressure to the filter 7. Simultaneously, the filter 7 is continuously vibrated by the elastic force of the spring-loaded telescopic rod 17. This vibrating filter 7 effectively disperses any material accumulated on top of it, thereby separating the material into smaller pieces.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first synchronous wheel 8 is provided on the outside of the linkage rod 2 , and the first synchronous wheel 8 is connected to the second synchronous wheel 12 via a synchronous belt 9 .

[0034] The rotation of the rotating rod 13 drives the rotation of the first synchronous wheel 8. Subsequently, the first synchronous wheel 8 and the synchronous belt 9 cooperate closely to act on the linkage rod 2 and the cam 16, so that the linkage rod 2 and the cam 16 also rotate accordingly.

[0035] The above embodiments merely illustrate one or several implementations of a material guide device for a shrimp color sorter according to the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
