Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting machine technology, and in particular to a silkworm cocoon quality detection and sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Silkworm cocoons, also known as mulberry cocoons, come in various shapes such as long oval, oval with a constricted waist, spherical, or spindle-shaped, or slightly constricted in the middle. Cocoons are white, yellow, light green, or flesh-colored. They are the sac-shaped protective layer of the silkworm during its pupa stage, containing the pupa. The protective layer includes the cocoon shell, cocoon layer, and lining. The cocoon layer can be reeled into silk, while the cocoon shell and the waste silk after reeling can be used as raw materials for silk floss and spun silk.
[0003] In the current silkworm cocoon production process, silkworm cocoons need to be classified to distinguish their quality and intended use. Currently, most silkworm cocoon classification work is done manually by staff, which is inefficient and prone to errors. Therefore, we have disclosed a silkworm cocoon quality inspection and classification sorting machine. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a silkworm cocoon quality inspection and sorting machine to solve the problems of low efficiency and high error rate in silkworm cocoon sorting.
[0005] Based on the above objectives, this utility model provides a silkworm cocoon quality inspection and sorting machine, including a fixed frame. Fixed rods are slidably connected to both sides of the top of the fixed frame. A feeding trough is fixedly connected to one end of each fixed rod. Two springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding trough, with one end of each spring fixedly connected to the fixed frame. Connecting frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the feeding trough. A swaying plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame. A fixed plate and a connecting block are fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate. A turntable is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of one end of the motor. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to one end of the turntable. A limit rod is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the swaying plate, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the limit rod. A moving groove is formed at the lower end of the connecting block, and the connecting rod and the limit rod are slidably connected within the moving groove.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing frames are symmetrically distributed around the longitudinal central axis of the feeding trough, the fixing plate is located between the two fixing frames, the fixing rod is sleeved inside the spring, and the fixing rod is T-shaped.
[0007] Preferably, the side of the movable groove is cross-shaped, and the connecting rod and the limiting rod form a T-shape.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the feeding trough is fixedly connected to a hopper, the feeding trough is located above the shaking plate, and the top end of the shaking plate is fixedly connected to a U-shaped baffle.
[0009] Preferably, four support frames are provided below the swaying plate, and a laser inspection machine is provided on the side of the support frames near the swaying plate. A conveyor belt assembly is rotatably connected to the top of the four support frames. A plurality of second discharge holes are equidistantly opened in the middle of the conveyor belt assembly. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, and a sorting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the guide plate. A plurality of first discharge holes are opened at one end of the sorting plate. A bevel gear assembly is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft at the other end of the motor. A belt assembly is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the bevel gear assembly, and the belt assembly is fixedly sleeved with the conveyor belt assembly.
[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the guide plate is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, the first discharge hole includes holes of several diameter values, several partitions are fixedly connected to the middle of the guide plate, the first discharge hole and the guide plate are adapted to each other, and the diameter value of the holes of the first discharge hole gradually increases from the end closer to the laser inspection machine to the end farther away from the laser inspection machine.
[0011] Preferably, the second discharge hole is a rectangular hole, the sorting plate is attached to the upper end of the conveyor belt assembly, and the width of the second discharge hole is greater than the diameter of the first discharge hole.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The fixed frame limits the position of the feeding trough by the fixed rod, the shaking plate drives the feeding trough to move together by the connecting frame, the fixed frame limits the position of the motor by the fixed plate, and the shaking plate fixes the position of the connecting block. After the motor starts, it drives the turntable to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod, the limiting rod and the shaking plate to move along the connecting block. This causes the shaking plate to drive the feeding trough to shake by the connecting frame, so that the cocoons in the feeding trough can fall into the shaking plate. The cocoons that fall into the shaking plate are shaken, which prevents the fallen cocoons from piling up together, thus facilitating the monitoring and classification of cocoons and improving the efficiency of cocoon sorting.
[0013] The laser detector detects the cocoons at the top of the conveyor belt, improving the speed and accuracy of cocoon monitoring. The support frame restricts the rotation of the conveyor belt, allowing the cocoons to be moved by the conveyor belt and fall through the second drop hole. This ensures the cocoons pass through the lower end of the laser detector at a uniform speed, guaranteeing the accuracy of the cocoon monitoring results and not affecting the subsequent sorting of the cocoons.

[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, a silkworm cocoon quality inspection and sorting machine includes a fixed frame 1. Fixed rods 2 are slidably connected to both sides of the top of the fixed frame 1. A feeding trough 3 is fixedly connected to one end of each fixed rod 2. Two springs 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding trough 3, with one end of each spring 4 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 1. Connecting frames 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the feeding trough 3. A swaying plate 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 5. A fixed plate 7 and a connecting block 11 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed frame 1. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed plate 7. A turntable 9 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of one end of the motor 8. A connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the turntable 9. A limit rod 13 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 10. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the swaying plate 6. The connecting block 11 is rotatably connected to the limiting rod 13. A moving groove 12 is provided at the lower end of the connecting block 11. The connecting rod 10 and the limiting rod 13 are slidably connected within the moving groove 12. The fixed frame 1 is symmetrically distributed around the longitudinal central axis of the material trough 3. The fixed plate 7 is located between the two fixed frames 1. The fixed rod 2 is sleeved within the spring 4. The fixed rod 2 is T-shaped. The side of the moving groove 12 is T-shaped. The connecting rod 10 and the limiting rod 13 form a T-shape. The bottom end of the material trough 3 is fixedly connected to a hopper. The material trough 3 is located above the shaking plate 6. A U-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the shaking plate 6. In use, the fixed rods 2 are slidably connected to both sides of the top of the fixed frame 1. One end of the fixed rod 2 is fixedly connected to the material trough 3, allowing the fixed frame 1 to restrict the material trough 3 through the fixed rods 2. The material trough 3 is positioned such that two springs 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the trough 3. One end of each spring 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1, which reduces the impact between the trough 3 and the fixing frame 1, extending the service life of both. Connecting frames 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the trough 3. A swaying plate 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 5, allowing the swaying plate 6 to move the trough 3 together with the material trough 3 via the connecting frame 5. A fixing plate 7 and a connecting block 11 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing frame 1. A motor 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing plate 7, allowing the fixing frame 1 to restrict the position of the motor 8 via the fixing plate 7. A turntable 9 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of one end of the motor 8. A connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to one end of the turntable 9. One end of the connecting block 11 is rotatably connected to a limiting rod 13. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the shaking plate 6, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the limiting rod 13. A moving groove 12 is provided at the lower end of the connecting block 11. The connecting rod 10 and the limiting rod 13 are slidably connected within the moving groove 12, thus fixing the position of the shaking plate 6 to the connecting block 11. When the motor 8 starts, it drives the turntable 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the turntable 9 to move the connecting rod 10, the limiting rod 13, and the shaking plate 6 along the connecting block 11. This causes the shaking plate 6 to shake the feeding trough 3 via the connecting frame 5, allowing the cocoons in the feeding trough 3 to fall into the shaking plate 6. The cocoons falling into the shaking plate 6 are shaken, preventing them from piling up, thus facilitating the monitoring and classification of the cocoons and improving the efficiency of cocoon sorting.The fixed frame 1 is symmetrically distributed around the longitudinal central axis of the feed trough 3, ensuring stable support for the feed trough 3. The T-shaped fixed rod 2 provides a stable connection between itself and the fixed frame 1. The side of the movable trough 12 is cross-shaped, with the connecting rod 10 and the limiting rod 13 forming a T-shape, effectively limiting the position of the connecting rod 10 and the limiting rod 13. A feed hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed trough 3, which is located above the shaking plate 6, ensuring that all cocoons falling from the feed trough 3 reach above the shaking plate 6. A U-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the shaking plate 6 to prevent cocoons above it from falling.
[0024] As a preferred embodiment of this example, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, four support frames 14 are arranged below the shaking plate 6. A laser inspection machine 15 is arranged on the side of the support frames 14 near the shaking plate 6. A conveyor belt assembly 16 is rotatably connected to the top of the four support frames 14. Several second discharge holes 20 are equidistantly opened in the middle of the conveyor belt assembly 16. A guide plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 14. A sorting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide plate 18. Several first discharge holes 19 are opened at one end of the sorting plate 17. A bevel gear assembly 21 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the other end of the motor 8. A belt assembly 22 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the bevel gear assembly 21. The belt assembly 22 is fixedly sleeved on the conveyor belt assembly 16. The bottom end of the guide plate 18 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane. The first discharge holes 19 include holes with several different diameter values. A number of partitions are fixedly connected to the middle of the guide plate 18. The first discharge hole 19 is adapted to the guide plate 18. The diameter of the first discharge hole 19 gradually increases from the end closer to the laser detector 15 to the end farther away from the laser detector 15. The second discharge hole 20 is a rectangular hole. The sorting plate 17 is attached to the upper end of the conveyor belt group 16. The width of the second discharge hole 20 is greater than the diameter of the first discharge hole 19. Four support frames 14 are set below the shaking plate 6. The laser detector 15 is set on the side of the support frame 14 near the shaking plate 6, so that the laser detector 15 can detect the cocoons at the top of the conveyor belt group 16, improving the speed and accuracy of cocoon monitoring. The conveyor belt group 16 is rotatably connected to the top of the four support frames 14. A plurality of second discharge holes 20 are equidistantly provided in the middle of the support frame 14, which restricts the rotation position of the conveyor belt assembly 16. This allows the cocoons to be moved by the conveyor belt assembly 16 and fall through the second discharge holes 20, ensuring that the cocoons pass through the lower end of the laser detection machine 15 at a uniform speed. This guarantees the accuracy of the cocoon monitoring results and does not affect the subsequent sorting of the cocoons. A guide plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 14, and a sorting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide plate 18. This allows the support frame 14 to fix the positions of the guide plate 18 and the sorting plate 17. A plurality of first discharge holes 19 are provided at one end of the sorting plate 17, allowing suitable cocoons to fall through the first discharge holes 19 into the guide plate 18 and then into a suitable collection bin, completing the automatic sorting of the cocoons. To improve the sorting efficiency of silkworm cocoons, a bevel gear set 21 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the other end of the motor 8. A belt set 22 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the bevel gear set 21. The belt set 22 is fixedly sleeved on the conveyor belt set 16. After the motor 8 starts, it drives the conveyor belt set 16 to rotate through the bevel gear set 21 and the belt set 22, causing the silkworm cocoons to move at a constant speed. The bottom end of the guide plate 18 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, so that the silkworm cocoons at the top of the guide plate 18 fall due to their own gravity, making them easy to collect. The first discharge hole 19 contains holes of several different diameters. Several partitions are fixedly connected to the middle of the guide plate 18. The first discharge hole 19 and the guide plate 18 are adapted to each other, so that the silkworm cocoons sorted through the first discharge hole 19 fall into the guide plate 18 separately.To prevent the sorted cocoons from mixing again, the diameter of the first discharge hole 19 gradually increases from the end closer to the laser detector 15 to the end farther away from the laser detector 15, allowing the first discharge hole 19 to sort cocoons of different sizes. The second discharge hole 20 is rectangular, with the sorting plate 17 attached to the upper end of the conveyor belt assembly 16. The width of the second discharge hole 20 is greater than the diameter of the first discharge hole 19, allowing the conveyor belt assembly 16 to allow the cocoons to fall through the second discharge hole 20 without affecting the sorting process, and also enabling the cocoons to move at a uniform speed.
