Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural machinery and material separation technology, specifically a device for separating a mixture of husks and seeds. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural processing, separation devices are commonly used to handle various mixtures. Taking seed-hull mixtures as an example, these materials typically contain granular, lumpy, and fine particle components, and their separation process is crucial for subsequent processing stages. In the prior art, patent CN115556268B provides a technical solution for separating mulch film and cotton stalks through the synergistic action of a rotating separation cylinder and a fan. This device uses a screw conveyor to feed the material into the separation chamber and achieves separation of materials of different densities through centrifugal force and airflow, showing some effectiveness in agricultural film residue recycling. However, the structural design of this device is more suitable for separating fibrous and thin-film materials, and its adaptability to granular and lumpy materials in seed-hull mixtures is weak. Furthermore, this solution lacks a fine screening mechanism for fine particles of different densities, leading to incomplete separation or misseparation when processing complex seed-hull mixtures. Therefore, there is a need in the field for a technical solution that can efficiently and accurately separate seed-hull mixtures. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems and needs, this disclosure proposes a novel technical solution that solves the problems and brings other technical benefits by adopting the following technical features. This utility model provides a shell-seed mixture separation device, including a base, a separation component, a lifting component, and a protective component. The base has two parallel sliding grooves, and the side protective plate is slidably connected to the sliding grooves via a slider, facilitating equipment maintenance and operation. The separation component includes a drum with multiple holes for separating light materials during rotation. Gear sets, fans, filters, drive motors, drum housings, and adjusting rods work together to achieve effective material separation. The lifting component uses a hydraulic cylinder and a drum support ring to lift the separation component, facilitating the discharge of heavy materials. The base also includes a collection box for collecting the separated materials, improving collection efficiency.
[0004] This invention provides a device for separating a mixture of husks and seeds. By setting multiple holes on the drum, lightweight materials can be separated through the holes during the drum's rotation and directly reach the airflow generated by the blower, thereby improving the separation efficiency of lightweight materials. A filter screen is set at the blower's outlet to effectively prevent materials from entering the blower, protecting the blower from damage, ensuring stable operation of the blower, and extending its service life. The hydraulic cylinder in the lifting assembly lifts the drum support ring, achieving the tilting of the separation assembly, which facilitates the discharge of heavy materials from the outlet. This automated control process reduces manual operation and improves work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0014] This utility model provides a device for separating a mixture of husks and seeds, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the assembly includes a base 1, a separation component 2, a collection box 11, a lifting component 4, and a protective component 3. These components, through their rational design and layout, achieve efficient separation of the husk and seed mixture. The specific implementation methods of each component will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015] The base 1 is the foundation of the entire device, used to support other components. Two parallel grooves are formed on the base 1 for mounting and securing the protective components, ensuring their smooth sliding. Example
[0016] Separation component 2 is the core part for achieving peel and seed separation, as shown in the attached document. Figure 2 The main components include: roller 27, feed inlet 22, discharge outlet 28, gear set 21, fan 23, filter screen 24, drive motor 25 and adjusting rod 29.
[0017] The roller 27 is a key component of the separating assembly 2. Its surface has multiple holes for screening the mixture of husks and seeds. It is made of stainless steel with a polished surface to reduce material adhesion. A first gear is located at each end of the roller, and stable rotation is achieved through a gear set.
[0018] The feed inlet 22 is located at one end of the roller 27, and a cover plate is provided on top. The cover plate is made of transparent plastic, making it easy to observe the feeding situation. The cover plate is connected to the feed inlet by a buckle made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength, and can meet the needs of large-scale material feeding.
[0019] The discharge port 28 is located at the bottom of the drum 27. A valve is provided on the discharge port 28. The valve is a ball valve, which has good sealing and quick opening and closing function, and is used to control the discharge of the separated material.
[0020] The gear set 21 includes a first gear and a second gear. Two sets of the first gear are respectively located at both ends of the roller 27 to ensure stable rotation of the roller 27. Low-speed stable rotation of the roller is achieved through gear transmission. An adjusting rod 29 is located above the base 1. A drive motor 25 is mounted on one end of the adjusting rod 29. The drive motor is a three-phase asynchronous motor. The output end of the drive motor has a rotating shaft via a pin. The rotating shaft passes through the adjusting rod 29 and is rotatably connected to the second gear.
[0021] A centrifugal fan 23 is located at one end of the drum 27, and can generate sufficient airflow to assist the separation process. A drive motor is connected to one end of the fan, and a filter screen 24 is located at the air outlet of the fan 23. The filter screen 24 is made of stainless steel wire mesh and is used to filter impurities generated during the separation process to prevent them from entering subsequent equipment.
[0022] The outer shell 26 houses and supports the drum 27. The outer shell of the drum 27 is welded from steel plates and has good structural strength. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the outer shell of the drum for discharging the separated material.
[0023] The adjusting rod 29 includes an inner rod and an outer rod. The outer rod is sleeved on the outside of the inner rod. Multiple threaded holes are evenly provided on the outer rod and the inner rod to accommodate fixing bolts. The overall height of the second gear and the drive motor 25 can be adjusted by bolt connection. Example
[0024] Based on Example 1, in order to increase the discharge of heavy materials, a lifting assembly is provided on one side of the base.
[0025] Among them, as attached Figure 4 The lifting assembly 4 is mounted at one end of the base 1 via a hinged seat. It mainly includes a hydraulic cylinder 41 and a roller support ring 42. The hydraulic cylinder 41 is a single-acting hydraulic cylinder, hinged to one side of the base 1, and its lifting and lowering are controlled by a hydraulic system to lift the roller support ring 42. The roller support ring 42 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and is located at the bottom of the roller housing 26 to support the roller 27, ensuring its stability during separation.
[0026] The protective components are located above base 1, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 3 The device includes a first side protection plate 31 and a second side protection plate 32, which are slidably connected to the base 1 via sliders to protect the gear set 21 and prevent foreign objects from entering it. The first side protection plate 31 and the second side protection plate 32 are made of stainless steel, and the sliders are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.
[0027] The collection box is mounted on the base 1 and connected to the bottom discharge port of the drum housing 26, and is used to collect the separated material. The collection box is made of stainless steel.
[0028] In actual operation, the mixture of skin and seeds is first fed into the drum shell 26 through the feed inlet 22. The drive motor 25 drives the drum 27 to rotate via the gear set 21. The rotation of the drum 27 causes the material to tumble and mix continuously inside. The holes on the drum 27 are designed to separate out fine particles during rotation. Due to the rotation of the drum 27, light materials are separated out through the holes. The blower 23 generates airflow to further blow the light materials separated through the holes out of the drum 27. After the light materials are blown out, the filter screen 24 prevents materials from entering the blower 23 and protects the blower 23 from damage. The heavy materials that are not blown out by the airflow, due to their higher density, will remain inside the drum 27. When it is necessary to process the heavy materials remaining in the drum 27, the operator adjusts the drive motor and the pinion of the gear set 21 to a lower position using the adjusting rod 29. At the same time, the protective component 3 slides towards both ends of the base 1 via the slide groove, away from the gear set 21, providing space for adjustment. The hydraulic cylinder 41 in the lifting assembly 4 lifts the roller support ring 42, causing the entire separation assembly 2 to tilt. Two fixed plates are provided at the end of the separation assembly 2 near the discharge port 28, hinged to the separation assembly to support angle adjustment. Through the lifting action of the lifting assembly 4, the separation assembly 2 tilts, and heavy materials are discharged from the discharge port 28 due to gravity. Throughout the separation and adjustment process, the side protective plates 31 and 32 of the protective assembly 3 provide protection, protecting the gear set 21 from material splashes or other external damage.
[0029] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power.

The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
