Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of silkworm processing technology, specifically relating to an automatic sampling device for silkworm processing. Background Technology
[0002] The dried silkworm larvae of the silkworm (Bombyx mori) are the dried bodies of larvae that have died after infection with Beauveria bassiana. They are mainly distributed in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Guangdong provinces. The dried silkworm larvae are cylindrical in shape, with a curved and wrinkled surface, generally 2–5 cm in length. Their surface is grayish-white or light brown, and they exhibit distinctive insect characteristics such as a head, legs, and joints.
[0003] Quality control is a crucial step in the processing of silkworm pupae. To ensure the superior quality of the final product, the silkworm pupae undergo rigorous screening during processing, eliminating any individuals that do not meet the standards. The screened silkworm pupae are then continuously transported to the next processing stage via a highly efficient conveyor system. To accurately control the quality of the silkworm pupae on the conveyor, the factory conducts regular sampling inspections.
[0004] However, in practice, the traditional method of manually removing silkworm pupae from a high-speed, continuously running conveyor for sampling inspection is not only inefficient, severely restricting the smoothness of the production line and the overall processing speed, but also poses significant safety hazards. Operators need to be in close contact with the fast-moving conveyor belt, which not only requires them to have extremely high reaction speed and agility to avoid sudden mechanical movements, but also makes them highly susceptible to accidental injuries due to fatigue, distraction, or misjudgment, such as finger pinches or slips and falls. Utility Model Content

Operators need to be in close proximity to the rapidly moving conveyor belt, requiring not only extremely high reaction speed and agility to avoid sudden mechanical movements, but also making them highly susceptible to accidental injuries due to fatigue, distraction, or misjudgment, such as finger pinches, slips, and falls.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic sampling device for processing silkworm pupae, including a conveyor, wherein a rectangular opening is provided on the left and right side guard plates of the conveyor, a horizontal bar is installed at the top of each rectangular opening, and a flexible plate is glued to the bottom of the horizontal bar;
[0007] An electric telescopic rod is provided on one side of the rectangular opening on the right, and a guide plate is connected to one side of the rectangular opening on the left. A collection bucket is provided at the bottom of the guide plate, a bottom column is connected to the bottom of the collection bucket, and a horizontal plate is connected to the bottom of the bottom column. The horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the conveyor by a fixing strip.
[0008] In order to ensure that the silkworms on the guide plate can fall accurately into the collection bucket, as an automatic sampling device for processing silkworms according to this utility model, preferably, the diameter of the opening end of the collection bucket is larger than the length of the bottom outlet end of the guide plate, and the outlet of the guide plate is located at the center end of the collection bucket.
[0009] In order to enable the electric telescopic rod to be installed on the conveyor, as an automatic sampling device for silkworm processing according to this utility model, preferably, the bottom of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a mounting base, and a fixing lug is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the mounting base. The fixing lug is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor by bolts.
[0010] In order to push the silkworms on the conveyor onto the guide plate, as an automatic sampling device for processing silkworms according to this utility model, preferably, a feeder is installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, and a side plate is fixedly connected to each end of the feeder, and a buffer strip is fixedly installed between the two side plates; one side of the buffer strip is in contact with the outer wall of the feeder, and the other side of the outer wall of the buffer strip has an arc-shaped structure.
[0011] In order to ensure that the silkworms can flow smoothly through the rectangular opening during normal conveying, as an automatic sampling device for silkworm processing according to this utility model, preferably, the length of the sampler is adapted to the horizontal width of the rectangular opening, and the maximum extension length of the electric telescopic rod is the same as the maximum horizontal vertical length between the two rectangular openings.
[0012] The bottom and sides of the flexible plate are in contact with the bottom and inner walls of the rectangular opening, and the outer wall of one side of the flexible plate is on the same horizontal plane as the inner wall of the conveyor guard plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] When the silkworms are transported to the next stage via the conveyor, an electric telescopic rod is activated to extract samples from them. The telescopic end of the rod moves the feeder towards the conveyor's transport area. As the feeder passes over the conveyor, it collects a certain amount of silkworms. The collected silkworms are then pushed against a guide plate, and fall into a collection bin. Observers can then safely remove the silkworms from the collection bin for observation, thus making it safer to retrieve the samples from the moving conveyor. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic sampling device for processing silkworm pupae, including a conveyor 1, a rectangular opening 2 is provided on the left and right side guard plates of the conveyor 1, a horizontal bar 3 is installed on the top of each rectangular opening 2, and a flexible plate 4 is glued to the bottom of the horizontal bar 3.
[0023] An electric telescopic rod 5 is installed on one side of the rectangular opening 2 on the right side, and a guide plate 6 is connected to one side of the rectangular opening 2 on the left side. A collection bucket 7 is installed at the bottom of the guide plate 6, and a bottom column 71 is connected to the bottom of the collection bucket 7. A horizontal plate 72 is connected to the bottom of the bottom column 71, and the horizontal plate 72 is fixedly connected to the conveyor 1 through a fixing strip 73.
[0024] When in use, the screened silkworms are placed on conveyor 1. The running conveyor 1 will transport the silkworms to the next stage. When it is necessary to sample and inspect the silkworms on conveyor 1, the electric telescopic rod 5 is used to push the cut-off part of the silkworms transported on conveyor 1 into the collection bucket 7. At this time, the inspectors can make a judgment by observing the silkworms inside the collection bucket 7.
[0025] Preferably, the diameter of the opening end of the collection bucket 7 is greater than the length of the bottom outlet end of the guide plate 6, and the outlet of the guide plate 6 is located at the center end of the collection bucket 7.
[0026] In actual use, the silkworms on the guide plate 6 will flow down along the inclined outer wall of the guide plate 6, so that the silkworms will fall into the collection bucket 7. At this time, the inspectors can safely take out the silkworms from the collection bucket 7 for observation.
[0027] Preferably, the bottom of the electric telescopic rod 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting base 51, and a fixing ear 52 is fixedly connected to both sides of one end of the mounting base 51. The fixing ear 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor 1 by bolts.
[0028] In practical use, the fixing ear 52 is connected to the pre-drilled docking hole on the conveyor 1, so that the fixing ear 52 can be firmly installed on the conveyor 1, making the installation between the electric telescopic rod 5 and the conveyor 1 very convenient.
[0029] Preferably, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5 is equipped with a feeder 53, and a side plate 55 is fixedly connected to each end of the feeder 53. A buffer strip 54 is fixedly installed between the two side plates 55.
[0030] One side of the buffer bar 54 is in contact with the outer wall of the feeder 53, and the other side of the outer wall of the buffer bar 54 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0031] In practical use, when the buffer strip 54 passes through the conveyor 1, it will cut off some dead silkworms. These cut-off dead silkworms will gather to one side of the buffer strip 54. At this time, the arc-shaped outer wall of the buffer strip 54 can reduce the squeezing force when they gather, so as to prevent further damage to the dead silkworms.
[0032] Preferably, the length of the feeder 53 is adapted to the lateral width of the rectangular opening 2, and the maximum extension length of the electric telescopic rod 5 is the same as the maximum lateral vertical length between the two rectangular openings 2.
[0033] The bottom and sides of the flexible plate 4 are in contact with the bottom and inner walls of the rectangular opening 2, and the outer wall of one side of the flexible plate 4 is on the same horizontal plane as the inner wall of the conveyor 1 guard plate.
[0034] In practical use, as silkworms are continuously transported to the next processing stage via conveyor 1, this solution activates the electric telescopic rod 5 as needed to ensure accurate and safe sample extraction from the silkworms running on conveyor 1. The feeder 53 at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5 moves smoothly and accurately towards the conveying area of conveyor 1. As the feeder 53 traverses the fast-moving conveyor belt, it effectively captures and accumulates a certain number of silkworm samples.
[0035] Once the feeder 53 has completed its sample collection task, the telescopic feeder 53 will smoothly push the silkworm samples inside the feeder 53 to the guide plate 6. The guide plate 6, acting as a transition component, ensures that the silkworm samples can be smoothly and orderly transferred from the feeder 53 to the collection bin 7 below through its inclined material flow path. During this process, the tilt angle and flexible material of the guide plate 6 reduce sample loss during transfer, while ensuring both operational efficiency and safety.
[0036] Finally, guided by guide plate 6, the silkworm samples fall accurately into the collection bin 7 located below. The open opening of collection bin 7 not only allows observers to easily retrieve samples at any time but also ensures the safety of the entire sampling process, eliminating the need for operators to directly contact the running conveyor 1, thus greatly reducing operational risks. This design allows observers to safely and calmly retrieve silkworm samples from collection bin 7 for observation and analysis, which is of great significance for ensuring product quality, improving inspection efficiency, and maintaining the stable operation of the production line.
[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
