Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cowpea processing technology, specifically to a sorting machine for cowpea processing. Background Technology

[0002] Cowpeas, also known as flat beans, long beans, or mung beans, are a widely cultivated legume belonging to the legume family. Their pods are long and slender, usually green, turning purple or yellow when ripe. Rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, cowpeas are highly nutritious and are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, or cold dishes. During processing, the long beans are typically cut into equal lengths and sorted for easier processing and packaging.

[0003] A sorting machine for processing cowpeas, disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219187610U, uses baffles and a vibration assembly to vibrate a conveyor belt, causing the cowpeas to align evenly during movement and allowing shorter cowpeas to fall through the slotted holes. The baffles prevent cowpeas from being shaken outside the sorting machine. The slotted holes, perpendicular to the direction of movement, work with the baffles to prevent cowpeas from falling into the holes at one end, resulting in poor sorting. However, this sorting machine has low flexibility and is not convenient for quickly sorting cowpeas quantitatively before unloading. Therefore, subsequent processing of the cowpeas still requires quantitative classification, affecting the overall effectiveness and functionality of the sorting machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting machine for cowpea processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sorting machine for cowpea processing, comprising a working chamber, a sorting mechanism disposed in the middle of the working chamber, fixed columns fixedly connected to both sides of the working chamber, a motor chamber installed in the middle of one side of the working chamber, and a vibration mechanism disposed inside the motor chamber.

[0006] Preferably, a viewing window is fixedly connected to one side of the outside of the working chamber, a feed inlet is fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the working chamber, a conveyor belt is installed inside the bottom of the working chamber, and a guide seat passing through the inside of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom inside the working chamber.

[0007] Preferably, the sorting mechanism includes guide blocks that are evenly and uniformly fixedly connected at equal intervals at the top of the inside of the working compartment, a linear motor is installed at the middle position of one side of the inside of the working compartment, and a fixed frame is installed on one side of the linear motor.

[0008] Preferably, the vibration mechanism includes a toggle block installed on one side inside the motor housing, a slide rod fixedly connected to the top of the motor housing, and a slider slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod.

[0009] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the slider, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring.

[0010] Preferably, a push plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting block, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the four sides of one side of the push plate, and a vibrating plate is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rod.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This sorting machine for cowpea processing has a sorting mechanism at the top of the working chamber to guide the cowpeas entering the working chamber and make them fall onto the top of a fixed frame. At this time, a linear motor drives the fixed frame to move, so that the cowpeas at the top of the fixed frame can fall onto the top of a fixed column. The linear motor drives the fixed frame to reset, so that the fixed frame can push a fixed amount of cowpeas at the top of the fixed column to fall onto the top of the conveyor belt for sorting and transportation. This ensures that a fixed amount of cowpeas falls onto the top of the conveyor belt for sorting each time, which is convenient for subsequent cowpea bundling and packaging, and improves the overall functionality and use effect of the sorting machine.

[0013] 2. This type of cowpea sorting machine has a motor compartment fixedly connected to one side of the working compartment. When the actuating block inside the motor compartment rotates, the actuating block can intermittently push the push plate to move. At this time, the push plate can drive the slider to slide on the slide rod and squeeze the spring. Due to the reaction force of the spring being squeezed, when the actuating block leaves the surface of the push plate, the slider can push the push plate to reset. Repeated operation can cause the vibrating plate on one side of the push plate to repeatedly hit the outer wall of the working compartment, thereby accelerating the feeding and sorting of cowpeas in the working compartment and improving the overall working efficiency of the cowpea sorting machine.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0021] Example 1: A sorting machine for processing cowpeas includes a working chamber 1, a sorting mechanism 2 is provided in the middle of the working chamber 1, fixed columns 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the working chamber 1, a motor chamber 5 is installed in the middle of one side of the working chamber 1, and a vibration mechanism 6 is provided inside the motor chamber 5.

[0022] A viewing window 101 is fixedly connected to one side of the outside of the working chamber 1. A feed inlet 102 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the working chamber 1. A conveyor belt 103 is installed inside the bottom of the working chamber 1. A guide seat 104 passing through the inside of the conveyor belt 103 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom inside the working chamber 1. The viewing window 101 allows observation of the sorting of cowpeas inside the working chamber 1. At the same time, multiple sets of small slots are provided on the outside of the conveyor belt 103 to facilitate the sorting of small-sized, unripe cowpeas.

[0023] The sorting mechanism 2 includes guide blocks 201 that are evenly and uniformly fixedly connected to the top of the working chamber 1. A linear motor 3 is installed in the middle of one side of the working chamber 1. A fixed frame 301 is installed on one side of the linear motor 3. When the linear motor 3 is started, it can drive the fixed frame 301 to reciprocate inside the working chamber 1. At the same time, the guide blocks 201 can effectively separate the cowpeas at the top of the working chamber 1.

[0024] Example 2 differs from Example 1 mainly in that:

[0025] A sorting machine for processing cowpeas includes a vibration mechanism 6 comprising a toggle block 501 mounted on one side inside a motor compartment 5. A slide rod 601 is fixedly connected to the top of the motor compartment 5. A slider 602 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 601. A spring 603 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 602. A connecting block 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 603. A push plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 604. Connecting rods 701 are fixedly connected to the four sides of one side of the push plate 7. A vibrating plate 702 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting rods 701. The toggle block... A drive motor is installed on one side of block 501. When the motor is started, it can drive block 501 to rotate. At this time, block 501 can push push plate 7 to move. When push plate 7 is subjected to force, it can drive slider 602 to slide on slide rod 601 and squeeze spring 603 on one side. When block 501 leaves the surface of push plate 7, due to the reaction force of spring 603 being squeezed, push plate 7 can be quickly reset by slider 602. At the same time, the contents not described in detail in this specification are all prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] In this embodiment of the application, the cowpeas to be sorted can be poured into the working chamber 1 through the feed inlet 102. At this time, due to gravity, the cowpeas can fall to the top of the fixed frame 301. Then, the linear motor 3 drives the fixed frame 301 to move, so the cowpeas at the top of the fixed frame 301 can fall. The linear motor 3 drives the fixed frame 301 to reset, so that it can continue to block the cowpeas at the top of the working chamber 1. At this time, the falling cowpeas can fall to the top of the conveyor belt 103 due to gravity. Smaller cowpeas can be sorted through the external slots of the conveyor belt 103. At the same time, the start of the conveyor belt 103 can drive the remaining cowpeas to move and discharge.

[0027] 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 preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
