Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Poria cocos processing technology, and in particular to a Poria cocos color sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Poria cocos, also known as Yu Ling, Fu Ling, Wan Ling Gui, and Fu Tu, is the dried sclerotium of the fungus Poria cocos in the family Pterophylliaceae. It often parasitizes the roots of pine trees, resembling a sweet potato in shape, spherical, with a light brown or dark brown outer skin and a pink or white interior. After refining, it is called white Poria cocos or Yun Ling. Color sorters are often used in the processing of Poria cocos. Color sorters are devices that automatically separate discolored particles from granular materials based on differences in the optical properties of the materials using photoelectric detection technology. Currently, color sorters are used in the fields of bulk materials or packaged industrial products, food quality testing and grading.
[0003] In most existing Poria cocos color sorters, the Poria cocos pieces are first transported by a conveyor. However, when the pieces fall onto the conveyor, they stack up, causing some of them to be obscured. The color sorter cannot accurately identify the color of these obscured pieces, resulting in poor color sorting performance. It may not be able to effectively remove impurities or defective products. Moreover, the pieces of Poria cocos are generally very small, and if they are stacked too high, material jumping may occur. Therefore, a Poria cocos color sorter is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a color sorting machine for Poria cocos, including a frame, a conveyor, and a distributing hopper. The conveyor is disposed between the front and rear walls of the frame, and the distributing hopper is disposed at the top of the frame. It also includes a guide plate, a spraying device, and a color sorting sensor. The guide plate is connected between the front and rear walls of the frame and is located on the right side of the conveyor. The color sorting sensor is disposed at the bottom end of the guide plate. The spraying device is disposed between the front and rear walls of the frame. A distributing component is disposed inside the distributing hopper, and a spreading mechanism is disposed above the conveyor.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a color sorter for Poria cocos, comprising a frame 1, a conveyor 2, and a distributing hopper 4. The conveyor 2 is disposed between the front and rear walls of the frame 1, and the distributing hopper 4 is disposed at the top of the frame 1. It also includes a guide plate 5, a spraying device 7, and a color sorting sensor 8. The guide plate 5 is connected between the front and rear walls of the frame 1 and is located on the right side of the conveyor 2. The color sorting sensor 8 is disposed at the bottom of the guide plate 5. The spraying device 7 is disposed between the front and rear walls of the frame 1. A distributing component is disposed inside the distributing hopper 4, and a spreading mechanism is disposed above the conveyor 2.
[0021] In this utility model, the frame 1 is square, the bottom end of the hopper 4 extends into the frame 1, and the discharge end is located directly above the conveyor 2. The material in the hopper 4 is evenly placed on the conveyor 2 by the material distribution component for conveying. After conveying, the stacked material is flattened by the flattening mechanism. The guide plate 5 is tilted forward and downward. The flattened Poria cocos pieces slide along the guide plate 5 and fall when they reach the end. When passing the color sorting sensor 8, the spraying device 7 sprays the unqualified pieces backward. The spraying direction of the spraying device 7 is backward and downward, while the qualified pieces are forward, thus separating the qualified and unqualified Poria cocos pieces.
[0022] In an optional embodiment, the material distribution assembly includes a second motor 61, a rotating shaft 62, and a material distribution roller 63. The second motor 61 is mounted on the material distribution hopper 4. One end of the rotating shaft 62 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the second motor 61, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the material distribution hopper 4. The material distribution roller 63 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 62, and multiple material distribution grooves are provided on the material distribution roller 63.
[0023] It should be noted that during material distribution, the second motor 61 is started to drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate, which in turn drives the material distribution roller 63 to rotate, so that the material is evenly spread on the conveyor 2.
[0024] In an optional embodiment, the slab leveling mechanism includes two limiting frames 31, a support frame 32, a rotating roller 33, and a drive assembly. The two limiting frames 31 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the front and rear side walls of the frame 1. The support frame 32 is slidably disposed between the two limiting frames 31. The rotating roller 33 is rotatably disposed within the support frame 32 and extends below it. The drive assembly is disposed within the support frame 32 and drives the rotating roller 33 to rotate.
[0025] In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly includes a second motor 34, a first rotating rod 35, a second rotating rod 36, and two bevel gears 37. The second motor 34 is disposed at the top of the support frame 32. The first rotating rod 35 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the second motor 34, and its other end extends into the support frame 32. The second rotating rod 36 is rotatably connected between the left and right walls of the support frame 32. The rotating roller 33 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the second rotating rod 36. The two bevel gears 37 are coaxially fixedly sleeved on the first rotating rod 35 and the second rotating rod 36, respectively, and the two mesh with each other.
[0026] In an optional embodiment, sliding plates 9 are connected to both the left and right sides of the support frame 32. Limiting rods 91 are connected to the top of the two sliding plates 9 and extend to the top of the limiting frame 31. Springs 92 are sleeved on the limiting rods 91, and the two ends of the springs 92 are connected to the top of the sliding plates 9 and the top wall of the limiting frame 31, respectively.
[0027] It should be noted that starting the second motor 34 drives the first rotating rod 35 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating rod 36 to rotate through two meshing bevel gears 37, which in turn drives the rotating roller 33 to rotate, intercepting the Poria cocos pieces above and flattening the piled Poria cocos pieces. The limit rod 91, spring 92 and sliding plate 9 can be set to adjust the size of the Poria cocos pieces according to different sizes.
[0028] In an optional embodiment, the spraying device 7 faces downward to the left, and a first collection hopper is disposed below the spraying device 7, while a second collection hopper is disposed below the color sorting sensor 8.
[0029] It should be noted that by setting up a first collection hopper and a second collection hopper, qualified and unqualified Poria cocos pieces can be separated and collected.
[0030] 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.
