Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Color sorters are devices that automatically separate discolored particles from granular materials based on differences in their optical properties using photoelectric detection technology. In the rice production process, color sorters are often used to remove unqualified rice grains and impurity particles to ensure the quality of the rice.

[0003] However, existing rice processing color sorters require workers to collect the processed rice material through collection boxes when they are put into use. But when replacing the collection box, workers have to remove the bottom of the collection box from the discharge port, pour out the rice material inside the collection box, and then put the collection box back at the bottom of the discharge port. This process causes some rice material to fall out. At the same time, when collecting rice material, as the rice material continuously falls from the color sorter's discharge port into the collection box, due to the flow of the material and gravity, the material will naturally accumulate in the center of the collection box, thus reducing the space utilization rate inside the collection box. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, a rice processing color sorter includes a support frame 1, with a color sorter body 2 mounted on top of the support frame 1. The support frame 1 and the color sorter body 2 work together to process rice. A discharge port 3 is located on one side of the color sorter body 2, allowing the processed rice material to be discharged from inside. A fixed shell 4 is located on one side of the support frame 1, with a collection box 5 mounted on top of the fixed shell 4. The collection box 5 collects the rice material discharged from the discharge port 3. A stepper motor 6 is bolted to the inner cavity of the fixed shell 4, and an adjustment mechanism 7 is located on one side of the stepper motor 6. Under the action of the stepper motor 6, the adjustment mechanism 7 can be activated. A support plate 8 is slidably connected to the top of the fixed shell 4, and the top of the support plate 8 is movably connected to the bottom of the collection box 5. With the cooperation of the stepper motor 6 and the adjustment mechanism 7, the support plate 8 can drive the collection box 5 to rotate. While one collection box 5 is collecting rice, the other collection box 5, after completion, is removed by the operator. A guide block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 8, and the surface of the guide block 9 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the fixed shell 4. Under the action of the guide block 9, the positional displacement of the support plate 8 during rotation is effectively prevented. This configuration increases the stability of the support plate 8. A connecting shell 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 8, and a baffle plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shell 10. With the cooperation of the connecting shell 10 and the baffle plate 11, the material is effectively prevented from falling when the collection box 5 at the bottom of the discharge port 3 is replaced, thereby reducing material waste. A rotating mechanism 12 is provided on one side of the connecting shell 10, and a protrusion 13 is provided on the top of the support plate 8. Under the action of the rotating mechanism 12, the protrusion 13 can be rotated. A connecting block 14 is slidably connected to the top of the protrusion 13, and a compression spring is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 14. 15. The top of the compression spring 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 8. The top of the connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the moving rod 16. The moving rod 16 is located at the center of the compression spring 15. The top of the moving rod 16 is movably connected to one side of the collection box 5. The top of the moving rod 16 is designed with a rubber pad and corresponds to the number of connecting blocks 14. With the cooperation of the protrusion 13, the connecting block 14 and the compression spring 15, the moving rod 16 can drive the collection box 5 to vibrate on the top of the support plate 8, which effectively reduces the accumulation of material in one place inside the collection box 5 and increases the space utilization rate inside the collection box 5.

[0024] The adjustment mechanism 7 includes a first spur gear 71, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 6. A second spur gear 72 meshes with one side of the first spur gear 71. A rotating rod 73 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the second spur gear 72. The top of the rotating rod 73 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 8, and the bottom of the rotating rod 73 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the fixed shell 4. The central axes of the second spur gear 72 and the rotating rod 73 are on the same straight line. With the cooperation of the stepper motor 6 and the first spur gear 71, the second spur gear 72 can drive the support plate 8 to rotate the collection box 5 through the rotating rod 73, thereby facilitating the replacement of the collection box 5 by the staff.

[0025] The rotating mechanism 12 includes a servo motor 121. The bottom of the servo motor 121 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 8. The output shaft of the servo motor 121 is fixedly connected to a bevel gear set 122. A rotating shaft 123 is fixedly connected to one side of the bevel gear set 122. The surface of the rotating shaft 123 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the protrusion 13. Under the action of the servo motor 121, the bevel gear set 122 can drive the protrusion 13 to rotate through the rotating shaft 123. With the cooperation of the connecting block 14 and the compression spring 15, the moving rod 16 can drive the collection box 5 to vibrate slightly above the support plate 8, which effectively reduces the accumulation of rice material inside the collection box 5 and improves the space utilization rate inside the collection box 5.

[0026] Working principle: First, with the cooperation of the support frame 1 and the color sorter body 2, the operator can process the rice material, allowing the processed rice material to be discharged from the outlet 3 into the collection box 5. When one side of the collection box 5 is fully collected, the stepper motor 6 causes the first spur gear 71 to drive the rotating rod 73 through the second spur gear 72. The rotating rod 73, through the support plate 8, causes the collection box 5 to rotate, allowing the collection box 5 without collected rice material to rotate to the bottom of the outlet 3. At the same time, the support plate 8, through the connecting shell 10, causes the baffle plate 11 to rotate, allowing the baffle plate 11 to block the outlet 3. Simultaneously, under the action of the servo motor 121... The bevel gear set 122 can drive the protrusion 13 to rotate through the rotating shaft 123. When the longer part of the protrusion 13 corresponds to the connecting block 14, the connecting block 14 can drive the compression spring 15 to compress above the support plate 8, and the connecting block 14 can drive the moving rod 16 to move upward. When the longer part of the protrusion 13 and the connecting block 14 intersect, under the action of the rebound force of the compression spring 15, the connecting block 14 can drive the moving rod 16 to move downward, thereby realizing the slight vibration of the moving rod 16 on the collection box 5, so that the rice material inside the collection box 5 is evenly distributed inside. Then, the staff can take out the collection box 5 after collecting on one side.
