AI Technical Summary
Existing nut color sorting machines are large in size and occupy a lot of space, making it impossible to place them directly inside the color sorter. Furthermore, they cannot determine whether the kernels have deteriorated or meet color standards before shelling.
A negative pressure-powered collection component is added to the color sorter to achieve multiple color sorts of shelled nuts using negative pressure. The equipment is designed with a vertical structure, combining multiple collection bins and sliding plates to independently perform primary and secondary color sorts, thereby reducing the equipment's footprint.
This technology enables multiple color sorting processes for shelled nuts, improving sorting efficiency, reducing equipment footprint, and ensuring the normal operation of the negative pressure unit.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut processing technology, specifically a shelling and color sorting machine for nuts. Background Technology
[0002] Nuts are a type of fruit from plants. Currently, there are many kinds of nuts available for human consumption. However, nuts usually have a hard outer shell, so they need to be shelled. But before shelling, it is impossible to know whether the kernel has spoiled or whether the color of the kernel meets the standards. Therefore, nuts need to be color-sorted after shelling.
[0003] Chinese Patent Announcement CN 212550543 U discloses a nut color sorter: including a column, a mounting frame, a hopper, and a color sorting device including a color sorting component. The color sorting component contains a plurality of lenses symmetrically arranged to capture nuts in the color sorting box, and more than 400 air valves. The lenses and air valves are electrically connected to a central controller. The color sorting device also includes a first color sorting conveying channel, a second color sorting conveying channel, a first good material channel, a second good material channel, and first and second bad material channels. The entrances of the good material channel and the bad material channel are at the same horizontal position and are lower than the height of the end of the color sorting conveying channel away from the hopper. The first good material channel is connected to a good material collection bucket. The first bad material channel is connected to a first elevator. The outlet of the first elevator is connected to the entrance of the second color sorting conveying channel. The second good material channel is connected to a second elevator, and the outlet of the second elevator is connected to the entrance of the first color sorting conveying channel.
[0004] The aforementioned nut color sorter uses a first and a second elevator to transfer nuts multiple times, enabling multiple color sorting of the same batch of nuts. However, although there are various types of elevators, they are mainly divided into vertical elevators and inclined elevators. Regardless of the type, elevators are quite large and cannot be placed directly inside the color sorter. Moreover, the aforementioned color sorter is horizontal, and with the addition of two elevators, the overall size of the equipment is large, requiring a large area for placement.
