In the rice processing process, color sorting is a key step to ensure rice quality. Rice color sorters are devices that use advanced technology and design to improve the efficiency and accuracy of rice screening. These color sorters usually integrate mechanical, optical, electronic, pneumatic and control technologies. Based on photoelectric principles, they identify and separate rice grains with abnormal color or affected by pests and diseases, as well as impurities such as sand and soil from large quantities of bulk rice.

The bottom of the two sets of annular plates 5 are respectively connected to the top of a set of collection boxes 3. A set of locking grooves is provided at both ends of the top inner side of the two sets of annular plates 5. The bottom ends of the two sets of first locking blocks 4 are respectively slidably locked to the inner side of the annular plates 5 through the locking grooves. The outer sides of the two sets of discharge ports 2 are slidably fitted to the inner side of the annular plates 5. A set of collection troughs is provided at the top of each of the two sets of collection boxes 3, and cleaning components are provided in the collection troughs of each set of collection boxes 3.

The device includes a fixed assembly, which is secured to one end of two sets of mounting blocks 6. After the main body of the device sorts and filters the rice, it falls into the corresponding collection box trough through two sets of discharge ports. When the rice needs to be removed after processing, the operator first adjusts the fixed assembly so that it disengages from the mounting block slots. Then, the operator pulls the collection box, causing the collection box to slide along the annular plate. The two sets of first locking blocks disengage from the annular plate slots until the two sets of discharge ports disengage from the corresponding annular plates. This completes the removal process. When cleaning is required, the cleaning mechanism can be pulled to quickly remove residual rice or impurities from the collection box trough. After cleaning, the collection box can be returned to its original position, facilitating the installation and removal of the collection box by the operator. This allows for quick removal of the screened rice from the collection box, improving the device's convenience and practicality.

The other ends of the four sets of connecting blocks 10 are respectively connected to one end of the clamping plate 11. When the operator rotates the bidirectional screw, the two sets of sliders drive the two sets of connecting blocks to slide, so that the four sets of clamping plates start to drive the second locking blocks to slide until the four sets of second locking blocks disengage from the corresponding mounting block slots. This allows for quick installation and fixation of the collection box, thus enhancing its practicality.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the above, the cleaning mechanism includes two sets of scrapers 13, two sets of pull rods 14, two sets of connecting plates 15, and a limiting component.

During operation, after the main body of the device sorts and filters the rice, the rice falls into the corresponding collection box through two sets of discharge ports. When the rice needs to be removed after processing, the operator first rotates the bidirectional screw by rotating the handle. The two sets of sliders drive the two sets of connecting blocks to slide, causing the four sets of clamping plates to slide the second locking blocks until the four sets of second locking blocks disengage from their corresponding mounting block slots. Then, the operator pulls the collection box with the portable handle, causing the collection box to slide along the annular plate. The two sets of first locking blocks disengage from their annular plate slots until the two sets of discharge ports disengage from their corresponding annular plates, completing the removal process. The scraper can then slide along the collection trough by pulling the handle on the pull rod to remove residual rice or other impurities. After cleaning, the collection box can be returned to its original position. Before completing the above actions, the machine should be moved to the desired location by the user.
