Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed production technology, specifically to an automatic picking device for abnormal rat feed particles based on programmed identification. Background Technology

[0002] Feed production involves processing various raw materials through physical, chemical, and biological methods to produce diets or specialized feeds suitable for different animals while ensuring their nutritional value. Production generally includes steps such as raw material processing, crushing, batching, mixing, conditioning, pelleting, drying, cooling, and packaging. During the production process, pellets may have problems such as irregular shape, abnormal color, size deviation, or impurities.

[0003] Traditional sorting methods rely on manual visual inspection or simple sieves, which are inefficient and prone to missing detections. Existing automatic sorting equipment mostly uses fixed parameters, such as aperture sieving or single optical detection, which cannot flexibly adapt to the judgment needs of different types of abnormalities, and the error range is not accurately controlled. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic sorting device for abnormal rodent food particles based on programmed identification. Through the cooperation of protective shells and sorting components, it solves the problems of low efficiency and easy omissions in existing automatic sorting equipment.

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

[0006] An automatic sorting device for abnormal rodent food pellets based on programmed identification includes a support frame with a filter groove; a protective shell fixed above the filter groove, an infrared sensor installed inside the protective shell, and a high-precision scanner installed inside the protective shell, located below the infrared sensor, to accurately determine the quality of the rodent food pellets; and a sorting component installed in the filter groove to separate normal rodent food pellets from abnormal ones.

[0007] Preferably, the sorting component includes a filter plate, which is installed in a filter tank. A moving motor is fixed in the filter tank by a motor frame, and a screw is fixed to the output end of the moving motor by a coupling.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixed inside the filter tank, and a push plate is slidably connected to the screw and the limiting rod, which helps to provide stable guidance for the sliding of the push plate and facilitates the push plate to accurately push abnormal particles on the filter plate to the discharge pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a discharge pipe is fixed on the filter plate, an abnormal particle collection box is fixed on the discharge pipe, and a normal particle collection box is fixed below the filter plate. This facilitates the separate collection of normal and abnormal rat feed particles, making it easier to process different types of particles separately in the future.

[0010] Preferably, a pipe is fixed on the protective shell, and a layered box is installed inside the pipe, which helps to control the orderly entry of rat food particles into the protective shell and facilitates a stable particle flow for the detection process.

[0011] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixed inside the pipe. The electric push rod is located above the layered box, which is conducive to quantitatively pushing the rat food particles in the layered box, so as to ensure that the number of particles entering the detection area each time is relatively fixed.

[0012] Preferably, a display screen is fixed on the support frame. The display screen is connected to the high-precision scanner via Bluetooth, which is conducive to displaying detailed detection images and data of the rat feed pellets in real time, so that the operator can intuitively understand the detection situation and make timely decisions.

[0013] Preferably, a solenoid valve is fixed on the outside of the protective shell, and a feed valve is fixed inside the protective shell. The feed valve is controlled by the solenoid valve to open and close, which is conducive to accurately controlling the timing of the rat feed pellets entering the protective shell and facilitating timely cutting off of the material flow in case of equipment maintenance or abnormal conditions.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model, through its designed sorting component, ensures that when rodent feed pellets fall onto the filter plate after detection, and a certain number of abnormal particles accumulate on the filter plate or a preset time is reached, the push plate is driven by a moving motor-driven screw to rotate. This causes the push plate to slide along a limit rod, pushing the abnormal particles to the discharge pipe. Unlike traditional automatic sorting equipment, this ensures that during the rodent feed screening process, both excessively large clumps and mixed foreign objects can be accurately separated, achieving truly efficient sorting of normal and abnormal rodent feed pellets and greatly improving the rodent feed screening effect.

[0016] 2. This utility model utilizes an infrared sensor and a high-precision scanner designed inside the protective shell. When the rat food pellets enter the protective shell through the pipe, as the pellets pass through the detection area in sequence, the characteristics of the pellets are accurately detected by the sensor and scanner. This, in turn, drives the control system to acquire detailed data, ensuring that during the rat food screening process, whether the pellets are abnormal in color or do not meet the standard in shape and size, they can be effectively identified. This truly realizes the automatic picking of abnormal rat food pellets, which facilitates the improvement of screening efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 An automatic sorting device for abnormal rodent food pellets based on programmed identification includes a support frame 1 with a filter groove 2; a protective shell 3 fixed above the filter groove 2, an infrared sensor 4 installed inside the protective shell 3, and a high-precision scanner 5 installed inside the protective shell 3, located below the infrared sensor 4. The infrared sensor 4 and the high-precision scanner 5 are used to accurately determine the quality of the rodent food pellets; and a sorting component 6 installed inside the filter groove 2 to separate normal rodent food pellets from abnormal ones.

[0027] The following describes some embodiments of this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] Please see Figure 4and Figure 5 Through the designed sorting component 6, when rat feed pellets fall onto the filter plate 7 after detection, if a certain number of abnormal particles accumulate on the filter plate 7 or a preset time is reached, the push plate 11 is driven by the screw 9 rotated by the moving motor 8. This causes the push plate 11 to slide along the limit rod 10, pushing the abnormal particles to the discharge pipe 12. Unlike traditional automatic sorting equipment, this ensures that during the rat feed screening process, abnormal particles such as oversized clumps or mixed foreign objects can be accurately separated, truly achieving efficient sorting of normal and abnormal rat feed pellets and greatly improving the rat feed screening effect.

[0029] The sorting component 6 includes a filter plate 7, which is installed in the filter tank 2. A moving motor 8 is fixed in the filter tank 2 by a motor frame, and a screw 9 is fixed at the output end of the moving motor 8 by a coupling.

[0030] In addition, a limiting rod 10 is fixed inside the filter tank 2, and a push plate 11 is slidably connected to the screw 9 and the limiting rod 10, which helps to provide stable guidance for the sliding of the push plate 11 and facilitates the push plate 11 to accurately push abnormal particles on the filter plate 7 to the discharge pipe 12.

[0031] Meanwhile, a discharge pipe 12 is fixed on the filter plate 7, an abnormal particle collection box 13 is fixed on the discharge pipe 12, and a normal particle collection box 14 is fixed below the filter plate 7, which is conducive to the classification and collection of normal and abnormal rat food particles, and facilitates the subsequent processing of different types of particles separately.

[0032] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a pipe 15 is fixed on the protective shell 3, and a layered box 16 is installed inside the pipe 15, which helps to control the orderly entry of rat food particles into the protective shell 3 and provides a stable particle flow for the detection process; an electric push rod 17 is fixed inside the pipe 15, and the electric push rod 17 is located above the layered box 16, which helps to quantitatively push the rat food particles in the layered box 16, so as to ensure that the number of particles entering the detection area each time is relatively fixed.

[0033] The support frame 1 is equipped with a display screen 18, which is connected to the high-precision scanner 5 via Bluetooth. This facilitates the real-time display of detailed detection images and data of the rat feed pellets, allowing operators to intuitively understand the detection situation and make timely decisions.

[0034] In addition, a solenoid valve 19 is fixed on the outside of the protective shell 3, and a feed valve 20 is fixed inside the protective shell 3. The feed valve 20 is controlled by the solenoid valve 19 to open and close, which is conducive to accurately controlling the timing of the rat feed pellets entering the protective shell 3 and to cutting off the material flow in time during equipment maintenance or abnormal situations.

[0035] The sorting method of sorting component 6 is explained below:

[0036] The rat feed is transported through pipe 15. Inside pipe 15, layered boxes 16 release quantitatively measured rat feed pellets into the protective shell 3 under the intermittent push of electric push rod 17. When feeding needs to be controlled, the solenoid valve 19 on the outside of the protective shell 3 controls the opening and closing of the feeding valve 20. The rat feed entering the protective shell 3 is first detected by the upper infrared sensor 4 for its passage, quantity, and position, and then by the lower high-precision scanner 5 for detailed characteristics such as color and shape. Both data are transmitted to the control system. The control system compares and analyzes the data against preset standards to determine whether the rat feed pellets are normal. Normal pellets fall through the protective shell 3 into the filter plate 7, pass through the mesh, and enter the normal pellet collection box 14 below. Abnormal pellets are intercepted on the filter plate 7. When they accumulate to a certain level or reach a preset time, the moving motor 8 inside the filter tank 2 drives the screw 9 to rotate. The push plate 11, under the action of the screw 9 and the limit rod 10, pushes the abnormal pellets towards the discharge pipe 12, into the abnormal pellet collection box 13. During this process, the data from the high-precision scanner 5 is transmitted via Bluetooth to the display screen 18 fixed on the support frame 1 for the operator to view in real time. It should be noted that the infrared sensor 4, the high-precision scanner 5, the moving motor 8, and the solenoid valve 19 are all equipped with power supplies, which are mature technologies in this field and have been fully disclosed, so they will not be repeated in the specification.

[0037] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
