Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color sorter technology, specifically a sorting chamber feed hopper for a color sorter. Background Technology

[0002] A color sorter is a highly efficient photoelectric sorting device, mainly used to automatically identify and remove particles or impurities with abnormal colors from large quantities of materials. It utilizes the differences in material colors and uses photoelectric detection technology to quickly identify and separate materials that do not meet requirements. It is widely used in agriculture, food, chemicals, and many other industries to improve product purity and quality, reduce manual screening costs, and is an indispensable piece of equipment in modern production lines. The color sorter's sorting chamber hopper is responsible for receiving and classifying the materials after sorting, ensuring that materials of different qualities and specifications are effectively distinguished and collected.

[0003] In existing technologies, if the particle size of the material is not further classified after the color sorting stage, it will directly lead to an increase in the mixing of finished products on the production line, affecting the uniformity of product quality. In addition, materials of different particle sizes will undergo grading during subsequent processing, packaging, and transportation, resulting in decreased production efficiency and resource waste. Inconsistency in particle size may also violate industry standards and cause safety hazards. To address these issues, we propose a sorting chamber feed hopper for color sorters.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a sorting chamber hopper for a color sorter includes a hopper body 1, a screening assembly 2, and a feeding assembly 3. The hopper body 1 has an opening on one side. The screening assembly 2 is disposed inside the hopper body 1 for screening. The feeding assembly 3 is disposed on the hopper body 1 for feeding. A door 5 is rotatably hinged to one side of the hopper body 1. The door 5 can be opened and closed to prevent material from falling out during device operation.

[0031] The screening assembly 2 includes a first chamber 21, a screen plate 22, and a second chamber 23. Three first chambers 21 are fixedly connected inside the hopper 1. Screens 211 are fixedly connected to one side of two of the first chambers 21, and the bottoms of the three first chambers 21 are all interconnected. Two screen plates 22 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two first chambers 21, and telescopic rods 221 are connected between the two screen plates 22 and the two first chambers 21, respectively. Both the screens 211 and the screen plates 22 are replaceable for easy cleaning and maintenance. The three second chambers 23 are all located inside the hopper 1, at the bottom of the three first chambers 21, and are interconnected with the three first chambers 21. The three second chambers 23 are all slidably connected to the hopper 1. By setting a slide rail, the slidable connection can be achieved, or the three second chambers 23 can be removed to directly discharge three different sizes of materials from the hopper 1. The aperture of the screen holes of the two screen plates 22 decreases sequentially, which can separate the materials into three different particle sizes.

[0032] In practice, the material is placed into the feed inlet 4 and falls into the first chamber 21 on one side of the hopper 1 through the feed trough 42. At the moment of entering the first chamber 21, the material is blown toward the screen plate 22 and then blown toward the screen mesh 211 for screening. By screening through the two sets of screen plates 22 and screen mesh 211, the material can be divided into three different sizes.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Embodiment 1, a feeding assembly 3 is provided in order to deliver materials into the hopper 1.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 3 includes an air supply pipe 31 and a fan 32. The air supply pipe 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the hopper 1, and one end of it extends into the first chamber 21 on one side. The fan 32 is fixedly connected to the air supply pipe 31, and the output end of the fan 32 extends into the air supply pipe 31. The output end of the fan 32 will not cause back suction during operation. The top of the hopper 1 is provided with an inlet 4, and a partition 41 is fixedly connected inside the inlet 4. The partition 41 is provided with an inlet groove 42, which is connected to the first chamber 21 on one side of the hopper 1. The partition 41 is inclined to facilitate the entry of materials into the inlet groove 42. It should be noted that the inlet groove 42 is only provided on the top of one first chamber 21 on one side of the hopper 1 to facilitate sequential screening.

[0036] In practice, the blower 32 is started, and the blower 32 delivers fresh air through the air supply pipe 31. Then the material is put into the feed inlet 4. The material falls into the first chamber 21 on one side of the hopper 1 through the feed trough 42. At the moment of entering the first chamber 21, the material is blown toward the screen plate 22 and the screen mesh 211 for screening.

[0037] Furthermore, the telescopic rod 221 can be set so that the screen plate 22 can vibrate back when the blower 32 starts and stops, which can shake off the material blocked on the screen plate 22. It should be noted that there is no need to set a damping mechanism inside the telescopic rod 221, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0038] Furthermore, other materials can be introduced into the air supply duct 31 to mix with the existing materials.

[0039] Working principle: First, start the blower 32. The blower 32 delivers fresh air through the air supply pipe 31. Then, put the material into the feed inlet 4. The material falls into the first chamber 21 on one side of the hopper 1 through the feed chute 42. At the moment of entering the first chamber 21, the material is blown towards the screen plate 22. After being screened by the screen plate 22, it is blown towards the screen mesh 211 for further screening. Through screening by the two sets of screen plates 22 and screen mesh 211, the material can be divided into three different sizes. Then, the classified material falls into the three second chambers 23. After they are full, the second chambers 23 can be pulled out for collection.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
