Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweet potato drying technology, specifically to a sweet potato drying sorting device that can automatically screen and grade. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic sorting and grading sweet potato chips sorting device receives sorting instructions through a control device. Then, a conveying device transports the sweet potato chips to the sorting area. In the sorting area, sensors detect various parameters of the sweet potato chips (such as weight and size) and transmit the data to the control device. The control device directs the sorting device to automatically classify the chips according to preset sorting standards. Finally, the sorted sweet potato chips are transported to the corresponding temporary storage device.

[0003] Currently, the automatic sorting and grading sweet potato chips sorting device transports individual sweet potato chips to the placement shell via a conveyor mechanism. Then, an electronic scale weighs the sweet potato chips to facilitate independent sorting and delivery of each sweet potato chip to its corresponding storage shell. However, during the transport process, the sweet potato chips may collide and break, resulting in debris inside each placement shell. After the sweet potato chips are sorted into their corresponding storage shells, the debris may remain on the electronic scale or inside the placement shell, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent weighing and impacting the sorting quality.
