It is an economic crop.

[0003] In the sorghum processing process, hulling machines are generally used to dehull the sorghum. However, the existing hulling machines in Mudan generally do not have devices to lift the sorghum or remove dust and impurities after dehulling. This requires a series of subsequent operations, causing inconvenience and making it impossible to collect dust and impurities in a centralized manner. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. By utilizing the meshing action of bevel gears between the transmission rod and the drive shaft, the drive shaft rotates, driving the fan to rotate. The fan blows away the dust and impurities in the sorghum, and the blown dust enters the collection frame through the dust inlet. This achieves the centralized collection of dust and impurities while cleaning the sorghum, bringing convenience to people. This invention is a sorghum hulling device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A sorghum dehulling device includes a housing, a dehulling machine at the upper end of the housing, a feeding frame at the upper end of the dehulling machine, a plurality of equally spaced and interlaced rotating plates inside the housing, all of which are inclined, a shaking mechanism for shaking the rotating plates at both the front and rear ends of the housing, and a blowing mechanism for blowing away dust at the front end of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the shaking mechanism includes multiple rotating shafts that are rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the housing at equal intervals, and the multiple rotating shafts respectively pass through multiple rotating plates and are fixedly connected to them.

[0008] Preferably, the blowing mechanism includes a through groove at the front end of the housing, a circular frame on the through groove, a filter screen inside the through groove, a mounting frame inside the circular frame, a drive shaft passing through the mounting frame, and a fan at one end of the drive shaft.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A sorghum dehulling device includes a housing 1, a dehulling machine 2 at the upper end of the housing 1, a feeding frame 3 at the upper end of the dehulling machine 2, and multiple equally spaced and interlaced rotating plates 20 inside the housing 1. The multiple rotating plates 20 are all inclined. Both the front and rear ends of the housing 1 are provided with a shaking mechanism for shaking the rotating plates 20. The shaking mechanism includes multiple equally spaced rotating shafts 14 that pass through and rotatably connect to the front and rear ends of the housing 1. The multiple rotating shafts 14 pass through the multiple rotating plates 20 and are fixedly connected to them.

[0022] The front end of the housing 1 is provided with a blowing mechanism for blowing away dust. The blowing mechanism includes a through groove 8 opened at the front end of the housing 1, a circular frame 9 provided on the through groove 8, a filter screen provided in the through groove 8, a mounting frame 10 provided in the circular frame 9, a drive shaft passing through the mounting frame 10, and a fan 12 provided at one end of the drive shaft.

[0023] The front end of the housing 1 is provided with two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 5. The upper end of the lower mounting plate 5 is provided with a power motor 6. The output shaft of the power motor 6 is provided with a transmission rod 7. The outer wall of the transmission rod 7 and the other end of the drive shaft are both provided with bevel gears 11. The two bevel gears 11 mesh with each other. By utilizing the meshing action of the bevel gears 11 between the transmission rod 7 and the drive shaft, the drive shaft rotates and drives the fan 12 to rotate. The fan 12 blows away the dust and impurities in the sorghum. The blown dust enters the collection frame 4 through the dust inlet 19, thereby realizing the centralized collection of dust and impurities and cleaning of the sorghum, bringing convenience to people.

[0024] Two rotating rods 13 are rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 5. Each of the two rotating rods 13 has multiple worm gears 16 on its outer wall. Each of the multiple rotating shafts 14 has worm wheels 15 that cooperate with the worm gears 16 on its outer wall. Each of the two rotating rods 13 has a synchronous pulley 18 on its outer wall. The two synchronous pulleys 18 are connected by a synchronous belt drive. A servo motor 17 is located at the front end of the housing 1. The end of one of the rotating rods 13 is connected to the end of the output shaft of the servo motor 17. By utilizing the cooperation between the worm gears 16 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 13 and the worm wheels 15 on the outer wall of the multiple rotating shafts 14, the multiple worm wheels 15 rotate, driving the multiple rotating shafts 14 to rotate. The rotation of the multiple rotating shafts 14 causes the multiple rotating plates 20 to vibrate up and down, thereby causing the sorghum to fall sequentially from the multiple rotating plates 20, thus lifting the sorghum.

[0025] The rear end of the housing 1 is provided with an ash inlet 19 and a collection frame 4, which are matched with the ash inlet 19.

[0026] In use, the sorghum to be hulled is placed into the hulling machine 2 through the feeding frame 3 (since the hulling machine 2 is existing technology, its related structure is not described in detail in this drawing). The hulled sorghum is then placed into the housing 1, so that the sorghum falls on the top of the rotating plate 20 at the highest position. The servo motor 17 is started, causing one of the rotating rods 13 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 18 and synchronous belt between the two rotating rods 13 drive the two rotating rods 13 to rotate synchronously. Then, through the cooperation of the worm gear 16 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 13 and the worm wheels 15 on the outer wall of the multiple rotating shafts 14, the multiple worm wheels 15 rotate, driving the multiple rotating shafts 14. The rotation causes multiple rotating shafts 14 to rotate, which in turn causes multiple rotating plates 20 to vibrate up and down (achieved by the forward and reverse rotation of servo motor 17). This causes the sorghum to fall sequentially from the multiple rotating plates 20, thus lifting the sorghum. At this time, the power motor 6 is started, which drives the transmission rod 7. The meshing action of the bevel gear 11 between the transmission rod 7 and the drive shaft causes the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the fan 12 to rotate. The fan 12 blows away the dust and impurities in the sorghum. The blown-away dust enters the collection frame 4 through the dust inlet 19, thus achieving centralized collection of dust and impurities while cleaning the sorghum, bringing convenience to people.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
