Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pepper color sorting technology, specifically a tracked pepper color sorter. Background Technology

[0002] Sichuan peppercorns, considered the premier of the "Thirteen Spices" seasonings, are renowned as the "King of Seasonings." A color sorter, on the other hand, is a device that automatically separates discolored particles from granular materials based on differences in their optical properties using photoelectric detection. A tracked color sorter primarily consists of a feeding system, an optical detection system, a signal processing system, and a separation execution system. Typically, a belt conveyor transports the material to the outlet, where an industrial camera captures the image. The separation execution system then separates the materials according to their color differences. Tracked color sorters are frequently used to separate Sichuan peppercorns based on their color.

[0003] In existing technologies, tracked pepper color sorters transport peppers via belts. However, after color sorting, existing devices cannot automatically clean the dust and other impurities adhering to the belt surface, requiring manual cleaning, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Furthermore, existing devices typically add peppers into the feed hopper and allow them to fall onto the belt surface, which cannot guarantee the uniformity of pepper distribution on the belt, thus reducing the accuracy of identification and increasing the missorting rate. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a tracked pepper color sorter to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tracked pepper color sorter, which automatically cleans dust and impurities on the surface of the belt to improve the simplicity of operation and cleaning efficiency, as well as the uniformity of pepper distribution on the belt, thereby increasing the accuracy of pepper identification by the pepper color sorter and reducing the missorting rate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tracked pepper color sorter, comprising a base plate, a pepper color sorter body mounted on the upper end of the base plate, a U-shaped frame disposed on the left side of the pepper color sorter body, two left-right distributed transmission rollers rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame, a water tank extending to the front and rear sides of the bottom side of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame penetrating and fixedly connected, a support roller rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the water tank, two through slots penetrating the upper end of the water tank, a belt passing through the two through slots being driven between the two transmission rollers and the support rollers, and an electric telescopic rod mounted on the lower end of the water tank, the output end of the electric telescopic rod penetrating the lower end of the water tank and fixedly connected to a brush;

[0006] A temporary storage box is provided above the U-shaped frame. A guide hopper is fixedly connected to the lower end of the temporary storage box. A feeding frame extending into the U-shaped frame is installed at the lower end of the guide hopper. A feeding roller that matches the feeding frame is rotatably connected inside the feeding frame. The feeding roller is driven by a first motor installed at the front end of the feeding frame. Multiple evenly distributed feeding grooves are opened on the outer wall of the feeding roller.

[0007] In order to pump water into the water tank through the water supply pipe, in a preferred embodiment of the tracked pepper color sorter of this utility model, a water pump is installed at the upper end of the base plate, and a water supply pipe penetrating the left end face of the water tank is installed at the outlet end of the water pump.

[0008] In order to facilitate the support of two points on the outer wall of the belt and prevent the belt from contacting the water tank, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the U-shaped frame is provided with two guide rollers that abut against the outer wall of the belt.

[0009] In order to facilitate the rotation of the transmission roller on the left side, in a preferred embodiment of the tracked pepper color sorter of this utility model, a second motor is installed at the rear end of the U-shaped frame, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the transmission roller located on the left side.

[0010] In order to drain the water inside the water tank, as a preferred embodiment of the tracked pepper color sorter of this utility model, the lower end of the water tank is connected to a water outlet valve pipe.

[0011] To facilitate the fixing and maintenance of the position of the temporary storage box, in a preferred embodiment of the tracked pepper color sorter of this utility model, a fixing seat is fixedly connected between the upper end of the U-shaped frame and the outer wall of the temporary storage box.

[0012] To prevent peppercorn particles from rolling off the left end of the belt during feeding, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a baffle plate located on the upper side of the belt is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In operation, the belt drives the process, and then the peppercorns are added into the storage box and guide hopper. The first motor then drives the feeding roller to rotate, and the peppercorns in the guide hopper enter the distribution trough. They then fall through the feeding frame to the top of the belt and are fed into the peppercorn color sorter for color sorting. Since multiple distribution troughs are evenly distributed and have equal space for peppercorns, and the first motor continuously drives the feeding roller to rotate at a constant speed, the uniformity of feeding is improved, as is the uniformity of peppercorn distribution on the top of the belt. This increases the accuracy of peppercorn identification by the peppercorn color sorter and reduces the missorting rate.

[0015] After the work is completed, water needs to be pumped into the water tank and the water level needs to be higher than the support roller. Then, the electric telescopic rod drives the brush to move upward until the brush bristles contact the outer wall of the belt. In conjunction with the belt drive, the dust and impurities on the belt surface are automatically cleaned, thereby improving the simplicity of operation and the cleaning efficiency.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A tracked pepper color sorter includes a base plate 1, a pepper color sorter body 2 mounted on the upper end of the base plate 1, a U-shaped frame 3 on the left side of the pepper color sorter body 2, two left-right distributed transmission rollers 4 rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 3, a water tank 6 extending to the front and rear sides of the bottom side of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 3, a support roller 7 rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the water tank 6, two through slots through the upper end of the water tank 6, a belt 5 passing through the two through slots driving the two transmission rollers 4 and the support roller 7, and an electric telescopic rod 8 mounted on the lower end of the water tank 6, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 8 passing through the lower end of the water tank 6 and fixedly connected to a brush 9.

[0021] A temporary storage box 13 is provided on the upper part of the U-shaped frame 3. A guide bucket 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the temporary storage box 13. A feeding frame 15 extending into the interior of the U-shaped frame 3 is installed at the lower end of the guide bucket 14. A feeding roller 16 matching it is rotatably connected inside the feeding frame 15. The feeding roller 16 is driven by a first motor 18 installed at the front end of the feeding frame 15. Multiple evenly distributed material distribution grooves 17 are opened on the outer wall of the feeding roller 16.

[0022] In this embodiment: During use, the left transmission roller 4 rotates, which in turn drives the right transmission roller 4 and support roller 7 to drive the belt 5. The peppercorns to be sorted are then added into the storage box 13 and the guide hopper 14. Subsequently, the first motor 18 drives the feeding roller 16 to rotate, and the peppercorns in the guide hopper 14 enter the distribution trough 17 and fall to the upper end of the belt 5 through the feeding frame 15. The belt 5 then feeds the peppercorns into the peppercorn color sorter body 2 for color sorting. Since the multiple distribution troughs 17 are evenly distributed and have equal space for peppercorns, and the first motor 18 continuously drives the feeding roller 16 to rotate at a constant speed, the uniformity of feeding can be improved, as can the uniformity of peppercorn distribution on the upper end of the belt 5. This achieves the purpose of increasing the accuracy of peppercorn identification by the peppercorn color sorter body 2 and reducing the missorting rate.

[0023] After the work is completed, water needs to be pumped into the water tank 6 and the water level needs to be higher than the support roller 7. Then, the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the brush 9 to move upward until the bristles of the brush 9 contact the outer wall of the belt 5. Since the distance between the front and rear sides of the brush 9 is equal to the distance between the front and rear sides of the belt 5, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the belt 5 to automatically clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the belt 5, thereby improving the simplicity of operation and the cleaning efficiency.

[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a water pump 10 is installed on the upper end of the base plate 1, and a water supply pipe 11 that penetrates the left end face of the water tank 6 is installed at the outlet end of the water pump 10.

[0025] In this embodiment: the water pump 10 is started, and the water pump 10 pumps water through the water pipe 11 to the inside of the water tank 6.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, two guide rollers 12 that abut against the outer wall of the belt 5 are rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, two guide rollers 12 are provided to support two points on the outer wall of the belt 5, so as to prevent the belt 5 from contacting the water tank 6.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a second motor 19 is installed at the rear end of the U-shaped frame 3, and the output end of the second motor 19 is fixedly connected to the transmission roller 4 located on the left side.

[0029] In this embodiment, a second motor 19 is provided to drive the transmission roller 4 on the left side to rotate.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a water outlet valve pipe is connected through the lower end of the water tank 6.

[0031] In this embodiment: after the belt 5 is cleaned, the valve of the water outlet valve pipe is opened, and the water inside the water tank 6 can be discharged.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixing seat is fixedly connected between the upper end of the U-shaped frame 3 and the outer wall of the temporary storage box 13.

[0033] In this embodiment, a fixing base is provided to fix and maintain the position of the temporary storage box 13.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a baffle plate 20 located on the upper side of the belt 5 is fixedly connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 3.

[0035] In this embodiment: by setting a baffle plate 20, the peppercorn particles are prevented from rolling off the left end of the belt 5 during feeding.

[0036] Working principle: In use, the second motor 19 first drives the left transmission roller 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the right transmission roller 4 and support roller 7 to drive the belt 5. Then, the peppercorns to be sorted are added into the temporary storage box 13 and the guide hopper 14. Subsequently, the first motor 18 drives the feeding roller 16 to rotate, and the peppercorns in the guide hopper 14 will enter the distribution trough 17 and fall to the upper end of the belt 5 through the feeding frame 15. The belt 5 then feeds the peppercorns into the peppercorn color sorter body 2 for color sorting. At the same time, since the multiple distribution troughs 17 are evenly distributed and the space for peppercorns is equal, and the first motor 18 always drives the feeding roller 16 to rotate at a constant speed, the uniformity of feeding can be improved, and the uniformity of peppercorns scattered on the upper end of the belt 5 can be improved. This achieves the purpose of increasing the accuracy of peppercorn identification by the peppercorn color sorter body 2 and reducing the missorting rate.

[0037] After the work is completed, start the water pump 10. The water pump 10 pumps water through the water pipe 11 into the water tank 6 and raises the water level above the support roller 7. Then, the electric telescopic rod 8 drives the brush 9 to move upward until the bristles of the brush 9 contact the outer wall of the belt 5. Since the distance between the front and rear sides of the brush 9 is equal to the distance between the front and rear sides of the belt 5, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the belt 5 to automatically clean the dust and impurities on the surface of the belt 5, thereby improving the simplicity of operation and the cleaning efficiency. After the belt 5 is cleaned, open the valve of the water outlet pipe to drain the water from the water tank 6.

[0038] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
