Support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the sieve box. A stabilizing plate is provided on one side of the sieve box. A rotating shaft is inserted into one end of the support rod. The sieve box is supported by the stabilizing plate and the support rod.

[0008] An electric push rod is rotatably connected to one end of the support rod near the rotating shaft. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod can drive the screen box to rotate around the rotating shaft, facilitating the adjustment of the screen box's tilt angle. A vibration mechanism is provided on the side of the screen box near the stabilizing plate. The vibration mechanism can control the vibration of the screen box during screening, improving the screening effect. A baffle is rotatably connected to the side of the screen box away from the stabilizing plate. Limiting plates are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the baffle. Threaded rods are symmetrically inserted at both ends of the baffle. A fixing block is fixedly connected to one side of the screen box at a position corresponding to the threaded rod. By connecting the threaded rod to the fixing block, the baffle can be fixed. By separating the threaded rod from the fixing block, the baffle can be rotated so that one end of the baffle extends to the top of the collection box, facilitating material feeding and guiding use through the limiting plates.

[0009] Preferably, the distribution pipe corresponds to the screen box, the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the screen box is provided with screen holes, the collection box is located on the side of the screen box near the baffle, and a control panel is provided on one side of the support frame. The distribution pipe facilitates material feeding, and the screen holes at the bottom of the screen box facilitate screening.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating shaft is fixed inside the support frame, one end of the electric push rod rotates on the support frame via a plug rod, one end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the wall of the stabilizing plate, and the stabilizing plate is set on the top of a support side plate. Activating the electric push rod can control the stabilizing plate to drive the screen box to rotate and tilt around the rotating shaft as the axis, which is convenient for material unloading and weighing.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate corresponds to the two side walls of the screen box, and one end of the threaded rod passes through the middle of the fixing block and is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixing block. The limiting plate facilitates limiting the two sides during material feeding, and the threaded rod inserted into the fixing block can be used to block during screening, making it convenient to open for material feeding.

[0012] Preferably, the vibration mechanism includes a support plate fixed to one side of the stabilizing plate, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a turntable connected to the output end of the motor, and a fixing plate fixedly connected to one side of the screen box.

One end of the fixing plate passes through the stabilizing plate and extends to the top of the turntable. A strip-shaped hole is opened at the top of the fixing plate. The centrifugal rod passes through the middle of the strip-shaped hole and is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. Starting the motor controls the turntable to drive the centrifugal rod to rotate, which can control the horizontal movement of the fixing plate, thereby controlling the screen box to move back and forth on the top of the support rod to achieve the vibration screening effect.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model first separates the threaded rod from the fixed block by rotating the threaded rod. The baffle can be rotated to open one side of the sieve box and extend one end of the baffle to the top of the collection box. At this time, the electric push rod is activated to control the support rod and the stabilizing plate to drive the sieve box to rotate and tilt around the axis of rotation. This allows the coffee beans left inside the sieve box to move into the collection box, realizing automatic feeding. The weighing is also automatically performed by the weighing device at the bottom of the collection box. The weighing after screening can be completed without manual transfer, improving the efficiency of use.

[0016] 2. This utility model also features a vibration mechanism. When the motor is started, it drives the turntable to rotate. The centrifugal rod on the turntable interacts with the fixed plate, causing the sieve box to vibrate. The coffee beans move continuously inside the sieve box, allowing coffee beans or impurities smaller than the sieve hole size to fall through the sieve holes onto the material collection plate and then be discharged through the discharge port. The supporting side plate can support a stabilizing plate, improving the stability during screening. The material can be easily added through the pipe and the feeding hopper.

[0017] In summary, through the interaction of the above-mentioned functions, the screened coffee beans can be automatically fed into the collection box for automatic weighing without the need for manual transfer, thus improving the efficiency of use. Attached Figure Description

Threaded rods 22 are symmetrically inserted at both ends of the baffle 21. A fixing block 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the screen box 10 at the position corresponding to the threaded rod 22. By connecting the threaded rod 22 to the fixing block 20, the baffle 21 can be fixed. By separating the threaded rod 22 from the fixing block 20, the baffle 21 can be rotated so that one end of the baffle 21 extends to the top of the collection box 7, which facilitates material feeding and is conveniently guided by the limiting plate 23.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-5, the pipe 3 corresponds to the screen box 10. The bottom wall of the inner cavity of the screen box 10 is provided with screen holes.
