Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cereal production technology, specifically to a color sorter for cereal processing. Background Technology
[0002] Oatmeal is made from wheat grains. Pre-treatment of wheat grains ensures the quality of oatmeal. The pre-treatment of oatmeal includes screening, selection, cleaning, and drying. For selection, color sorters are used to remove discolored grains and discard immature grains, moldy grains, and other substandard products. The color sorting principle before oatmeal production mainly relies on photoelectric sorting technology. By identifying differences in the color of materials, impurities or unqualified particles are removed. Through color sorting technology, oatmeal manufacturers can efficiently remove impurities, ensure product appearance and safety quality, and reduce labor costs. However, during the color sorting process, the raw materials are prone to jumping when they enter the guide grid after passing through the vibrating screen, which affects the subsequent color sorting of raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a color sorter for oatmeal processing, comprising a device body and an inclined plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the equally spaced nozzles can sort wheat grains between the separator plates, ensuring sorting efficiency and effectiveness.
[0020] To facilitate the rotation of the feed roller:
[0021] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a bearing is installed at the connection between the feed roller and the feed inlet.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the bearing can effectively reduce the friction when the feed roller rotates, making it easier for the feed roller to evenly convey the wheat grains in the feed inlet to the top of the vibrating plate under the drive of the drive motor.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.
[0033] like Figure 1-5As shown, a color sorter for cereal processing includes a device body 1 and an inclined plate 4. A control panel 11 is installed on the top of the device body 1, and a diversion port 12 is provided at the bottom of the device body 1. A feed inlet 2 is installed on the top of the device body 1, and a feed roller 21 is installed below the feed inlet 2. A drive motor 22 is connected to the outside of the feed roller 21. A vibrating plate 3 is installed inside the device body 1 near the bottom of the feed inlet 2, and a hollow pad 31 is laid on top of the vibrating plate 3. A vibration motor 32 is installed below the vibrating plate 3. An inclined plate 4 is installed on the device body 1 near the bottom of the vibrating plate 3, and a rubber pad is laid on top of the inclined plate 4. A rubber pad 41 is provided. An isolation plate 42 is welded above the inclined plate 4, and a sound insulation plate 43 is installed above the isolation plate 42. A baffle 44 is installed inside the device body 1 near the inclined plate 4. An air pump 5 is installed below the inclined plate 4, and a nozzle 51 is connected above the air pump 5. A CCD camera 6 is installed inside the device body 1 near the upper part of the inclined plate 4, and LED lights 61 are symmetrically arranged below the CCD camera 6. The grains of wheat slide smoothly on the inclined plate 4. The baffle 44, in conjunction with the isolation plate 42, can block bouncing grains of wheat. The rubber pad 41 cushions the grains of wheat, thus preventing them from being caught by the CCD camera. The vibration of the camera 6 affects the grain sorting results. Spring supports are provided on both sides of the vibrating plate 3 to facilitate vibration of the vibrating plate 3 under the drive of the vibration motor 32. The isolation plates 42 are evenly distributed above the inclined plate 4, allowing for grain diversion. This facilitates grain sorting by controlling the air pump 5 and nozzle 51 after the grains have passed through the CCD camera 6. The sound insulation plate 43 is tightly fitted to the isolation plate 42, reducing noise from grain impacts on the isolation plate 42. A rubber pad is adhered to the inner side of the baffle 44 to reduce noise when grains impact it. The nozzle 5... The nozzles 51, evenly spaced below the inclined plate 4, can sort the wheat grains between the isolation plates 42, ensuring sorting efficiency and effectiveness. A bearing is installed at the connection between the feed roller 21 and the feed inlet 2. The bearing can effectively reduce the friction when the feed roller 21 rotates, making it convenient for the feed roller 21 to evenly convey the wheat grains in the feed inlet 2 to the top of the vibrating plate 3 under the drive of the drive motor 22. The hollow gasket 31 is provided with a honeycomb support inside. The hollow gasket 31 can buffer the wheat grains falling on the vibrating plate 3. The honeycomb support can effectively ensure the structural strength of the hollow gasket 31 and facilitate its subsequent use.
[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this device, wheat grains enter the interior of the vibrating plate 3 through the feed inlet 2. Before entering, the drive motor 22 drives the feed roller 21 to rotate, which can make the wheat grains enter the interior of the vibrating plate 3 evenly. After entering, the vibrating motor 32 drives the vibrating plate 3 to vibrate, so that the wheat grains enter the upper part of the inclined plate 4 evenly. At this time, the baffle 44 and the isolation plate 42 divert the wheat grains. When the wheat grains run to the bottom of the CCD camera 6, the LED light 61 illuminates the wheat grains, and the CCD camera 6 performs optical detection on the wheat grains. At this time, the control panel 11 analyzes the optical detection structure. The signal is then transmitted to the air pump 5. The air pump 5 controls the nozzle 51 to separate the unqualified products from the qualified products through the diversion port 12 in a pneumatic manner. The above method can ensure that the color of the wheat grains meets the production requirements of oatmeal processing. The above method can make the wheat grains slide smoothly on the inclined plate 4. The baffle 44 and the isolation plate 42 can block the jumping wheat grains. The rubber pad 41 buffers the wheat grains, thereby preventing the wheat grains from jumping and affecting the color sorting results when passing the CCD camera 6. After the color sorting is completed, the qualified wheat grains enter the cleaning process before oatmeal processing through the diversion port 12 and the transfer device.
