Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ginger screening technology, specifically a ginger separation mechanism for a ginger screening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Ginger is the fresh rhizome of ginger, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). Ginger has a unique aroma and pungent flavor and is commonly used in cooking and medicine. Its rhizome, cork, and leaves can all be used medicinally, possessing various effects such as relieving exterior syndromes and dispelling cold, warming the middle jiao and stopping vomiting, warming the lungs and stopping cough, and detoxifying.
[0003] After harvesting, ginger varies in size. For ginger with specific uses, it needs to be sorted. This requires a screening machine to separate the ginger of different sizes. Existing screening machines sort ginger by using a filter screen, allowing smaller ginger to pass through the filter screen holes while larger ginger remains on the screen. However, because ginger is irregularly shaped, using a filter screen can easily cause ginger to get stuck in the mesh, which not only affects screening efficiency but may also damage the ginger.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a ginger separation mechanism for ginger screening machines. Utility Model Content

[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0021] Example: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a ginger separation mechanism for a ginger screening machine, including a conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 is existing technology, and its internal structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. When the conveyor 1 is used to transport ginger of a specific variety and purpose, it transports them one by one.
[0022] Mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor 1. Multiple partitions 3 are fixedly installed between the mounting brackets 2. The middle part of each partition 3 is provided with a through hole 5, and the size of the through hole 5 gradually decreases from left to right. The conveying direction is also from left to right. That is, during the conveying process, the diameter of the through hole 5 that the ginger passes through gradually decreases, while the ginger that cannot pass through the through hole 5 remains on the conveyor 1 and is pushed to the discharge plate 10 by the push plate 9 to prevent it from affecting the conveying of the next ginger.
[0023] An existing photoelectric sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the partition 3. Its model number is W4WLG4S-3F2234. The photoelectric sensor can detect ginger and determine whether it can pass through the through slot 4 by the duration of continuous detection of ginger. If the continuous detection time exceeds the preset value, it is pushed away by the push plate 9.
[0024] Multiple guide plates 6 are also installed on the opposite sides of the mounting frame 2. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 2 on one side, and a push plate 9 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric push rod 7. A through hole 5 is opened on the mounting frame 2 on the other side, and a feeding plate 10 is installed on one side of the through hole 5. A collection frame 8 is placed on one side of the conveyor 1 and at the bottom of the feeding plate 10. A collection frame 8 is also placed at the other end of the conveyor 1, and a buffer plate 11 is installed inside the collection frame 8 through a torsion spring.
[0025] The existing controller is installed on the mounting bracket 2 on one side. The conveyor 1, electric push rod 7 and photoelectric sensor are all electrically connected to the controller. When the photoelectric sensor continuously detects ginger for a longer time than the preset value, it will send a signal to the controller. The controller will then activate the electric push rod 7, which will drive the push plate 9 to move. The push plate 9 will push the ginger that has not passed through the through groove 4 and make it pass through the through hole 5 into the feeding plate 10. The ginger will then slide down the feeding plate 10 into the collection frame 8. The buffer plate 11 in the collection frame 8 can play a buffering role. When the ginger falls onto the buffer plate 11, the buffer plate 11 will rotate downward under the force. The ginger will slide down the buffer plate 11 into the collection frame 8, and then the buffer plate 11 will return to its original state.
[0026] The guide plate 6 is L-shaped and is fixed on the partition 3. The bottom ends of the guide plate 6, partition 3 and push plate 9 are all located on the top of the conveyor 1 to prevent the conveyor 1 from being affected by the guide plate 6, partition 3 and push plate 9 when conveying ginger.
[0027] The through hole 5 corresponds to the push plate 9, and one side of the push plate 9 is slidably connected to the surface of the partition 3. The guide plate 6 and the push plate 9 are located on opposite sides of the partition 3. When the push plate 9 moves, it pushes the ginger along the partition 3 to the through hole 5.
[0028] The bottom end of the through hole 5 is flush with the top surface of the conveyor 1. The feeding plate 10 is inclined on the mounting frame 2 to facilitate the ginger to enter the through hole 5 and fall along the feeding plate 10.
[0029] The top surface of the collection frame 8 is open, and mounting blocks 14 are fixedly installed on both sides of the collection frame 8. The mounting blocks 14 are located at the bottom of the rotating end of the buffer plate 11, and a slot 15 is opened on one side of the mounting block 14. A limiting plate 13 is engaged in the slot 15. When it is necessary to take out the ginger in the collection frame 8, but the buffer plate 11 is blocking it, the limiting plate 13 can be taken out first, and then the buffer plate 11 can be rotated downwards to be located at the bottom of the mounting block 14. Then the limiting plate 13 is inserted into the slot 15, so that the buffer plate 11 is located at the bottom of the limiting plate 13. The limiting plate 13 limits the buffer plate 11, thereby facilitating the removal of the ginger in the collection frame 8.
[0030] A limiting frame 12 is fixed on the mounting bracket 2 with a through hole 5. One side of the collecting frame 8 is located inside the limiting frame 12, and the collecting frame 8 located at the bottom of the feeding plate 10 is magnetically connected to the mounting bracket 2. The limiting frame 12 can limit the collecting frame 8 so that it is located at the bottom of the feeding plate 10, ensuring that the ginger can fall into the collecting frame 8. The collecting frame 8 located on one side of the conveyor 1 is placed at one end of the conveyor 1, so that the end of the conveyor 1 is located at the top of the opening of the collecting frame 8.
[0031] During operation, by setting multiple partitions 3 on the conveyor 1 and opening through slots 4 of different sizes on each partition 3, ginger can be distinguished by whether it can pass through the through slots 4 during the conveying process. Ginger that cannot pass through the through slots 4 will be pushed to the discharge plate 10 by the push plate 9 and enter the collection box 8. This method separates ginger of different sizes and prevents ginger from getting stuck during screening.
[0032] 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.
