[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 7 A sorting device for preserving walnut kernels includes a housing 1, a top plate 2, a hopper 3, a primary sorting component 4, a rotating component 5, and a secondary sorting component 6. The upper end of the housing 1 is configured to be open. The top plate 2 is detachably installed on the upper end of the housing 1. The hopper 3 is fixedly installed on the top plate 2 and communicates with the interior of the housing 1. The primary sorting component 4 is located below the hopper 3. The rotating component 5 is located on one side of the primary sorting component 4. The secondary sorting component 6 is located on the side of the rotating component 5 away from the primary sorting component 4.

[0027] Among them, a gear transmission assembly 7 is provided between the primary sorting component 4 and the rotating component 5.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, the primary sorting component 4 includes a motor 41, a rotating shaft 42, a guide plate 43, and a first storage box 44. The motor 41 is fixedly installed on one outer side wall of the housing 1. The rotating shaft 42 rotatably passes through the two side walls of the housing 1, and one end of the rotating shaft 42 is fixed to the output end of the motor 41. The guide plate 43 is fixedly disposed through the rotating shaft 42. The guide plate 43 is configured as an isosceles trapezoid, and baffles are fixed at both ends of the guide plate 43. The first storage box 44 is fixed on the lower inner wall of the housing 1, and the first storage box 44 is located directly below the guide plate 43.

[0029] The surface of the guide plate 43 is provided with a frosted pad, which increases the friction between the surface of the guide plate 43 and the walnut kernel.

[0030] It should be noted that the motor 41 is configured as a stepper motor, which can drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate in both directions, while the speed is relatively low, so as to drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate within a small angle range.

[0031] Please refer to the details. Figure 2When it is necessary to perform preliminary sorting of shelled walnut kernels, firstly, the motor 41 is started and the rotating shaft 42 is driven to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle and then the drive is stopped, so that the guide plate 43 is tilted counterclockwise by a certain angle. Then, the walnut kernels to be sorted are put into the large opening end of the guide plate 43 from the hopper 3. The spherical, i.e., complete walnut kernels will continue to roll on the surface of the guide plate 43 and roll one by one from the small opening end of the guide plate 43 into the rotating component 5. The incomplete walnut kernels will remain on the surface of the guide plate 43 due to the greater friction between them and the guide plate 43. After the required walnut kernels are completely sorted, the motor 41 is started and the rotating shaft 42 is driven to rotate clockwise. The incomplete walnut kernels remaining on the surface of the guide plate 43 will be poured from the large opening end of the guide plate 43 into the first storage box 44, thereby realizing the sorting of the integrity of the walnut kernels.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rotating assembly 5 includes a sleeve shaft 51, a rectangular sleeve 52, a stacking box 53, an isolation plate 54, an electro-hydraulic rod 55, and a T-shaped rod 56. The sleeve shaft 51 is rotatably disposed within the two side walls of the housing 1. The rectangular sleeve 52 is fixed to the sleeve shaft 51. A rectangular hole is provided in the lower end of the stacking box 53. The stacking box 53 is slidably disposed on the rectangular sleeve 52 through the rectangular hole at the lower end. Multiple isolation plates 54 are linearly distributed and are all fixed on the inner wall of the stacking box 53. The electro-hydraulic rod 55 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the housing 1, and the electro-hydraulic rod 55 and the motor 41 are located on the same side. The output shaft of the electro-hydraulic rod 55 is slidably disposed within the side wall of the housing 1. A T-shaped groove 531 is provided on the side of the stacking box 53 near the electro-hydraulic rod 55. One end of the T-shaped rod 56 is fixed to the output end of the electro-hydraulic rod 55, and the other end is rotatably disposed within the T-shaped groove 531.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, the gear transmission assembly 7 includes a large gear 71 and a small gear 72; a gear box 11 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the housing 1 away from the motor 41, the large gear 71 is fixed on the rotating shaft 42, the small gear 72 is fixed on the sleeve shaft 51, the large gear 71 has more teeth than the small gear 72, and both the large gear 71 and the small gear 72 are located inside the gear box 11.

[0034] In other words, when the motor 41 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate at a certain angle, the large gear 71 meshes with the small gear 72, and the small gear 72 drives the sleeve shaft 51 to rotate, and the rotation angle is greater than the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 42.

[0035] Both the motor 41 and the electro-hydraulic rod 55 are controlled by an external control unit. When the motor 41 drives counterclockwise, the control unit will control the electro-hydraulic rod 55 to start and drive the T-shaped rod 56 to move back and forth in a cycle. When the motor 41 drives clockwise, the control unit will control the electro-hydraulic rod 55 to close and put the T-shaped rod 56 in the initial position.

[0036] Please refer to the details. Figures 2 to 5 When no walnut kernels are added, the guide plate 43 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the stacking box 53 is tilted and the opening is facing the rotating shaft 42. When the walnut kernels are initially sorted, the guide plate 43 will tilt at a certain angle. At this time, due to the meshing of the large gear 71 and the small gear 72, the small gear 72 drives the rectangular sleeve 52 to rotate and drives the stacking box 53 to rotate until its opening is in a horizontal state. Therefore, the whole walnut kernels will fall into the stacking box 53. As the motor 41 drives counterclockwise, it controls the electric hydraulic rod 55 to start. Therefore, as the finished walnut kernels fall into the stacking box 53 one by one, the T-shaped rod 56 will pull or push the stacking box 53 to move repeatedly. This allows multiple whole walnut kernels to fall into multiple adjacent isolation plates 54. Even if multiple whole walnut kernels are neatly stacked between multiple isolation plates 54, it will prevent the walnut kernels from piling up and falling out of the stacking box. On the other hand, it will facilitate the subsequent sorting of the whole walnut kernels by size.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, the secondary sorting component 6 includes a fixing plate 61, baffles 62, a second storage box 64, and partitions 65. The fixing plate 61 is fixed to the inner wall of the box 1 and is inclinedly arranged inside the box 1. Multiple baffles 62 are linearly distributed and fixed to the upper end face of the fixing plate 61. Multiple sets of discharge holes 67 are opened on the fixing plate 61 along the inclined direction, and multiple holes are arranged in each set, respectively between two adjacent baffles 62. The diameter of each set of discharge holes 67 increases sequentially from top to bottom along the inclined surface. The second storage box 64 is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the box 1 by connecting columns. Multiple partitions 65 are arranged and fixed inside the second storage box 64, and the multiple partitions 65 divide the second storage box 64 into multiple storage areas.

[0038] Please refer to the details. Figures 5 to 7 Figures 5 to 7After the motor 41 has been driving counterclockwise for a period of time, when the whole walnut kernels are about to fill the stacking box 53, the motor 41 will automatically drive clockwise, and the guide plate 43 will rotate to a horizontal position, so that the whole walnut kernels will not continue to fall. At the same time, the electric hydraulic rod 55 drives the stacking box 53 to move to the initial position through the T-shaped rod 56, so that the whole walnut kernels can be aligned with the multiple baffles 62 one by one. When the rotating shaft 42 rotates clockwise, the large gear 71 meshes with the small gear 72, causing the sleeve shaft 51 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the sleeve shaft 51 will drive the rectangular sleeve 52 to rotate. The stacking box 53 rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that multiple walnut kernels of different sizes in the stacking box 53 will fall into the guide grooves formed between two adjacent baffles 62. After the stacking box 53 rotates by a certain angle and releases all the walnut kernels inside, the motor 41 will automatically drive counterclockwise again to repeat the preliminary sorting work. The walnut kernels that have fallen into the fixed plate 61 will fall from the upper feeding hole 67 into the storage area on the left, and the walnut kernels with larger diameters will fall into the storage area on the right, thereby realizing the size sorting of whole walnut kernels.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
