Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0025] Example:

[0026] See Figure 1 - Figure 6 This embodiment relates to a rice screening machine, mainly used for pre-treatment of raw rice in the biopharmaceutical production process. The purpose is to efficiently remove rice husks, dust, and other fine impurities adhering to the rice, thereby ensuring that the rice entering subsequent fermentation, extraction, and formulation processes has high purity and stable quality. The rice screening machine mainly includes: a frame 11, on which a hopper 12 and a vibrating screen 13 are fixedly mounted. An inlet 121 is provided above the hopper 12, and an outlet 122 is provided below it. A separating cylinder 14 is rotatably arranged inside the hopper 12. A dust suction cylinder 15 is provided on one side of the separating cylinder 14, and a dust suction connector 16 communicating with the dust suction cylinder 15 is provided on one side of the hopper 12. A belt conveyor mechanism 17 is provided below the separating cylinder 14.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rice to be processed is evenly fed into the silo 12 through the feed inlet 121 located above the silo 12. The outer surface of the separating cylinder 14 inside the silo 12 is circumferentially arranged with protrusions 141. During continuous rotation, the rice inside the silo 12 collides with the protrusions 141 on the surface of the separating cylinder 14, thereby causing impurities adhering to the surface of the rice to detach from the rice itself, achieving the purpose of preliminary separation. A dust suction cylinder 15 is provided on one side of the separating cylinder 14 and is connected to a dust suction connector 16, which is used to connect to an external dust suction device. As the separating cylinder 14 rotates, the dust suction cylinder 15 simultaneously functions to suction out light impurities such as rice husks and dust generated during the preliminary separation process. The belt conveyor mechanism 17 continuously transports the dust-treated rice to the discharge outlet 122 below the silo 12 and finally onto the vibrating screen 13 located below the silo 12. Vibrating screen 13 is used to screen the rice after dust collection, further separating the rice from remaining impurities and broken rice, and selecting rice with intact grains and better quality. This ensures that the rice meets the purity and intact grain requirements of biopharmaceutical processes. Through the above steps, the entire pretreatment process not only achieves multi-stage removal of impurities but also ensures that the rice raw material meets strict quality standards before entering subsequent fermentation, extraction, and formulation processes.

[0028] See Figure 4 The dust collection cylinder 15 includes a cylinder frame 21 and a screen 22 sleeved on the cylinder frame 21. In this embodiment, the dust collection cylinder 15 uses the cylinder frame 21 as the basic load-bearing structure, and its outer surface is uniformly covered with a fine screen 22. After the dust collection cylinder 15 is connected to an external dust collection device through the dust collection connector 16, it extracts or intercepts small impurities such as rice husks thrown out from the side of the separation cylinder 14 under negative pressure.

[0029] The vibrating screen 13 includes a screen hopper 23 inclined below the hopper 12. The screen hopper 23 is connected to the frame 11 via four sets of springs 24, and a vibrating motor 25 is installed at its rear end to drive its vibration. A screen plate 26 is installed inside the screen hopper 23, and a baffle 27 is inserted into the discharge end of the hopper. In this embodiment, the screen hopper 23 of the vibrating screen 13 is designed with an inclined arrangement, allowing the rice to slide smoothly under gravity. Simultaneously, the vibration generated by the vibrating motor 25 achieves efficient separation of the rice from residual impurities and broken rice. The screen holes of the screen plate 26 allow smaller particles of impurities and broken rice to be screened out and stored in the waste collection bin 231 below the screen hopper 23, while intact rice particles are output from the discharge end of the screen hopper 23. The baffle 27 is located below the discharge end of the screen hopper 23, with its upper edge contacting the screen plate 26, preventing impurities passing through the screen holes of the screen plate 26 from entering.

[0030] The separating cylinder 14 is equipped with a separating motor 28 that drives its rotation. The separating motor 28 is connected to the separating cylinder 14 via a belt drive mechanism 29. The separating cylinder 14, in conjunction with the inner wall of the hopper 12, can fully agitate the rice during high-speed rotation, causing impurities such as rice husks and dust adhering to the surface of the rice to detach from the rice body under collision and centrifugal force.

[0031] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 The belt conveyor mechanism 17 includes two sets of conveyor cylinders 31 and a conveyor belt 32. Both ends of the conveyor belt 32 are fitted onto the conveyor cylinders 31. Each set of conveyor cylinders 31 is shaft-connected to a conveyor motor 33 that drives its rotation. The conveyor belt 32 is horizontally positioned to ensure stable and continuous material transport. In this embodiment, to ensure the rice is evenly spread on the belt conveyor mechanism 17, a spreading plate 34 is installed inside the hopper 12. The spreading plate 34 is positioned above the conveyor belt 32, with a 5-10mm gap between it and the surface of the conveyor belt 32. This effectively ensures that the rice is evenly distributed when passing through the spreading plate 34, preventing excessive material accumulation that could affect the screening effect of the subsequent vibrating screen 13.

[0032] In this embodiment, a partition 35 is obliquely arranged inside the hopper 12 between the dust collection cylinder 15 and the belt conveyor mechanism 17 to partially block the dust collection area of ​​the dust collection cylinder 15 and the conveying area of ​​the belt conveyor mechanism 17, thereby reducing the re-mixing of impurities such as rice husks and dust into the belt conveyor mechanism 17.

[0033] In this embodiment, a guide plate 36 is arranged at the front end of the discharge port 122 of the hopper 12, and several guide channels 37 are formed on the plate surface, so that the rice flows out evenly along the guide channels 37. A brush cylinder 38 for cleaning the guide channels 37 is also provided at the front end of the discharge port 122. The brush cylinder 38 is adapted to two sets of drive cylinders 39 to drive it to move along the guide channels 37, and both ends of the brush cylinder 38 are respectively connected to the piston rods of the two sets of drive cylinders 39. Rice may become clogged in the guide channels 37. The brush bristles on the brush cylinder 38 clean the guide channels 37, removing the clogged rice.

[0034] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
