[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6This utility model provides the following technical solution: an online monitoring system for a taro ball production line, including a support frame 1, a separation box 2 installed on the top of the support frame 1, and a belt scale 3 installed at the bottom of the support frame 1; the separation box 2 has a screening structure inside, the screening structure includes a telescopic rod 4 installed on the outside of the separation box 2, and the telescopic rod 4 is composed of continuous X-shaped connecting rods, with an adjusting rod 6 rotatably connected at the junction of the X-shaped connecting rods; a central fixing rod 5 is fixedly connected in the middle inside the support frame 1, and the adjusting rod 6 and the central fixing rod 5 are equidistantly distributed inside the separation box 2; the adjusting rod 6 and the central fixing rod 5 form a slope inside the separation box 2, and the central fixing rod 5 and the adjusting rod 6 are equidistantly distributed between the two telescopic rods 4; a guide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting rod 6; baffles 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the central fixing rods 5 on both sides inside the separation box 2, and the baffles 8 are fixed to the separation box. The inner sides of the two parts are closely fitted together, and the baffle 8 slides inside the separation box 2. The top of the baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the intercepting plate 9. The top of the separation box 2 is provided with a feeding port 10, and the end of the intercepting plate 9 away from the baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the inside of the feeding port 10. The two ends of the separation box 2 are provided with a discharge port 11 on one side, and the discharge port 11 is aligned with the guide rods 7 distributed at equal intervals. The guide rods 7 are directed towards the outside of the separation box 2 through the discharge port 11. The bottom of the separation box 2 is provided with a waste port 12, and the waste port 12 is aligned with the middle of the top of the belt scale 3. The outside of the separation box 2 is provided with two mounting slots 15, and both ends of each adjusting rod 6 are slidably connected to the inside of the mounting slot 15. The outside of the separation box 2 is provided with a drive rod 13 installed at the end of the telescopic rod 4, and the drive rod 13 is provided with a threaded sleeve in the middle. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to a hand-tightening screw 14, and the hand-tightening screw 14 is rotatably connected to the outside of the separation box 2.

[0026] When the material enters the separation box 2 from the feeding port 10, the intercepting plate 9 fixed to the top of the baffle 8 diverts and guides the material, reduces the falling speed and avoids accumulation. The inclination angle of the intercepting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feeding port 10 to ensure that the material is evenly dispersed into the interior of the separation box 2. The telescopic rod 4 on the outside of the separation box 2 is composed of continuous X-shaped connecting rods. By manually rotating the hand screw 14, the drive rod 13 is driven to extend and retract the telescopic rod 4. During the extension and retraction, the adjusting rod 6 at the junction of the X-shaped connecting rods slides along the mounting groove 15 and forms an equidistant slope structure with the central fixed rod 5. When the material slides down the slope formed by the adjusting rod 6 and the central fixed rod 5, qualified taro balls cannot pass through the gap due to their large size and slide along the guide rod 7 to the discharge port 11. The debris or small particles fall into the bottom of the separation box 2 from the gap and are discharged through the waste port 12.

[0027] By rotating the hand-tightening screw 14 to change the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 4, the distance between the adjusting rod 6 and the central fixed rod 5 can be adjusted synchronously, thereby controlling the screening accuracy and adapting to the sorting needs of taro balls with different particle sizes. Inside the separation box 2, the top of the central fixed rod 5 on both sides is fixed with a baffle 8. The baffle 8 fits tightly against the inside of the separation box 2 and slides along the inner wall of the box when the adjusting rod 6 moves, preventing material leakage from the side. The intercepting plate 9 is linked with the baffle 8 and adjusts the tilt angle synchronously when adjusting the screening gap, ensuring that the material is always concentrated in the central area of ​​the screening structure, avoiding the decrease in screening efficiency caused by edge accumulation.

[0028] The unqualified material discharged from the waste outlet 12 falls directly onto the belt scale 3 at the bottom of the support frame 1. The belt scale 3 weighs the waste material in real time and generates a data signal. The monitoring system analyzes the waste weight ratio to determine whether the current screening parameters, such as the gap size and material flow rate, are reasonable, and feeds back to the control terminal. If the waste rate is abnormal, the hand screw 14 can be manually or automatically adjusted to optimize the screening accuracy and achieve closed-loop quality control.

[0029] The guide rod 7 is fixed to the lower end of the adjusting rod 6, and its tilt angle is aligned with the discharge port 11 to ensure that qualified taro balls are efficiently output to the collection device along a fixed path. The waste port 12 at the bottom of the separation box 2 is precisely aligned with the top of the belt scale 3 to prevent waste from scattering. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the baffle 8 and the intercepting plate 9 reduces the collision loss between the material and the box, improving the overall sorting efficiency and equipment life.

[0030] The threaded sleeve design of the hand-tightening screw 14 and the drive rod 13 allows the operator to quickly adjust the extension of the telescopic rod 4, and the screening parameters can be adjusted without complicated tools. The mounting groove 15 limits the sliding of the two ends of the adjusting rod 6 to ensure the stability of the screening structure during the adjustment process and avoid screening failure due to offset.

For example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
