Its roots have root nodules; its stems are erect or creeping and angular; its stipules are hairy; its leaflets are ovate-oblong or obovate, with a blunt apex, a nearly rounded base, and entire margins; its corolla is yellow or golden yellow; its style extends beyond the calyx tube; its pods are long, inflated, and have thick pericarps;[8] it flowers from June to July and fruits from September to October.

[12] After flowering and fertilization, the ovary of the peanut plant falls into the dark ground to grow and bear fruit in secret, hence the name peanut.

[0003] When processing peanuts, shelling is required. After shelling, the peanut kernels are of inconsistent sizes, so they need to be sorted. This is usually done manually, which requires workers to spend a lot of time and effort. The processing speed is relatively slow and the sorting efficiency is low. The accuracy and consistency of manual sorting are affected by human factors, which may lead to inaccurate or inconsistent classification. To address the above problems, a shelling machine sorting mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, a shelling and sorting mechanism is provided. This mechanism addresses the current issue that when processing peanuts, shelling is required, and the resulting peanut kernels are of inconsistent sizes. Therefore, sorting of peanut kernels of different sizes is necessary, which is generally done manually. This manual sorting requires workers to spend a considerable amount of time and effort, resulting in relatively slow processing speed and low sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the accuracy and consistency of manual sorting are affected by human factors, potentially leading to inaccurate or inconsistent classification.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a shelling machine sorting mechanism, including a support frame, a conveyor belt fixedly installed above the support frame, a material distribution component arranged in the middle of the upper part of the conveyor belt, a reducer for driving the conveyor belt to rotate fixedly installed at the front right end of the conveyor belt, fixed rods fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the left side of the support frame, two connecting rods fixedly connected to the upper surface of each of the two fixed rods, an inclined sorting component arranged between the two fixed rods, several collection bins arranged below the sorting component, a guide plate fixedly connected to the lower left side of the conveyor belt and the upper part of the sorting component, and adjustable feet fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support frame.

[0006] Preferably, the material distribution assembly includes two fixed plates, which are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the conveyor belt.

A second bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates on the left side, and a first bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates on the right side.

[0009] Preferably, the sorting assembly further includes a fixing bar, a first moving rod, and a second moving rod. The right end of the fixing bar is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide plate, and the interior of the left end of the fixing bar is rotatably connected to the middle of the second bidirectional lead screw. The interior of the right end of the fixing bar is rotatably connected to the middle of the first bidirectional lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mounting plate, and the output end of the second motor passes through the rear side of the mounting plate and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the second bidirectional lead screw.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model incorporates a material distribution component to orderly feed peanuts accumulated in the feed hopper into the conveyor belt. Automated feeding reduces errors caused by human factors, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of peanuts entering the sorting system.

[0022] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5As shown, a shelling and sorting mechanism includes a support frame 1. A conveyor belt 2 is fixedly installed above the support frame 1. A material distribution component 4 is arranged in the middle of the upper part of the conveyor belt 2. A reducer 5 for driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate is fixedly installed at the front right end of the conveyor belt 2. Fixed rods 6 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the left side of the support frame 1. Two connecting rods 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of each of the two fixed rods 6. An inclined sorting component 8 is arranged between the two fixed rods 6. Several collection bins 9 are arranged below the sorting component 8. The design of the collection bins 9 facilitates the collection and classification of sorted materials, improving the efficiency and convenience of subsequent processing. The arrangement of multiple collection bins 9 can be configured according to different sorting needs, increasing the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. A guide plate 3 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the conveyor belt 2 and the upper part of the sorting component 8. The guide plate 3 smoothly guides the material on the conveyor belt 2 to the sorting component 8, ensuring the continuity and stability of material flow. Its inclined design helps reduce the resistance of materials during flow and improves sorting efficiency. Adjustable feet 10 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 1. The design of the adjustable feet 10 allows the entire equipment to be adjusted in height and level according to the actual ground conditions, ensuring stable operation of the equipment and reducing the impact of vibration on sorting accuracy. This design also facilitates the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the equipment.

[0024] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly 4 includes two fixing plates 401, which are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2, respectively. A feeding bin 402 is fixedly connected above the two fixing plates 401, and a rotating shaft 404 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the feeding bin 402. The fixing plates 401 are securely mounted on the conveyor belt 2, providing stable support for the feeding bin 402. The design of the feeding bin 402 helps to concentrate and control the entry of materials, reducing material spillage and waste.

[0025] Furthermore, at least six material distribution plates 405 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 404. A first motor 403 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the feeding bin 402. The output end of the first motor 403 passes through the rear side wall of the feeding bin 402 and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft 404. The rotating shaft 404 is driven to rotate by the first motor 403, and the material distribution plates 405 rotate accordingly, dispersing the material evenly and orderly onto the conveyor belt 2. This method helps to avoid material accumulation and improves sorting accuracy and efficiency.

[0026] Furthermore, the sorting assembly 8 includes two mounting plates 801, which are fixedly connected to the connecting rods 7 on the front and rear sides respectively. A second bidirectional lead screw 803 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 801 on the left side, and a first bidirectional lead screw 802 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 801 on the right side.

[0027] Furthermore, the sorting assembly 8 also includes a fixed bar 808, a first moving rod 809, and a second moving rod 810. The fixed bar 808 connects the guide plate 3 and the bidirectional lead screw, which stabilizes the structure and ensures smooth power transmission. The right end of the fixed bar 808 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide plate 3, and the interior of the left end of the fixed bar 808 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second bidirectional lead screw 803. The interior of the right end of the fixed bar 808 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first bidirectional lead screw 802. The interior of the left end of the first moving rod 809 is threaded to the front side of the second bidirectional lead screw 803, and the interior of the right end of the first moving rod 809 is threaded to the front side of the first bidirectional lead screw 802. The interior of the left end of the second moving rod 810 is threaded to the rear side of the second bidirectional lead screw 803, and the interior of the right end of the second moving rod 810 is threaded to the rear side of the first bidirectional lead screw 802.

[0028] Furthermore, a first synchronous pulley 805 is fixedly connected to the front end of the first bidirectional lead screw 802, and a second synchronous pulley 806 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second bidirectional lead screw 803. The first synchronous pulley 805 is connected to the second synchronous pulley 806 via a synchronous belt 807. Through the transmission connection between the synchronous pulley and the synchronous belt 807, the synchronous movement of the moving rods on both sides is realized, thereby ensuring that the material is evenly and accurately distributed to different collection bins 9 during the sorting process.

[0029] Furthermore, a second motor 804 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rear mounting plate 801. The output end of the second motor 804 passes through the rear mounting plate 801 and is fixedly connected to the rear end of the second bidirectional lead screw 803.

[0030] Working principle: First, after shelling, the peanuts enter the feeding hopper 402 and fall into the gap between the two separating plates 405. Then, the first motor 403 drives the rotating shaft 404 to rotate, causing the peanuts to fall onto the conveyor belt 2. The reducer 5 drives the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, transporting the peanuts from right to left. Then, they fall into the sorting component 8 through the guide plate 3. Under the action of gravity, the peanuts will roll in the gap formed by the first moving rod 809 and the fixed bar 808 and the gap formed by the second moving rod 810 and the fixed bar 808. Since the gap gradually increases from right to left, peanuts of different sizes will fall into the collection hopper 9 below in sequence. When it is necessary to adjust the sorting specifications of the sorting component 8, the second motor 804 drives the second bidirectional lead screw 803 to rotate. Through the first synchronous pulley 805, the second synchronous pulley 806 and the synchronous belt 807, the first bidirectional lead screw 802 is driven to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the first moving rod 809 and the second moving rod 810 to move synchronously, thus changing the size of the gap.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
