Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color sorting machine technology, specifically to a color sorting machine for Chinese herbal medicine seeds and granules. Background Technology

[0002] A color sorter is a device that automatically sorts out discolored particles from granular materials based on the differences in their optical properties using photoelectric detection technology. It can perform color sorting, shape sorting, and optical sorting. Color sorters are used in the fields of bulk materials or packaged industrial products, food quality testing and grading.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220311037U discloses a color sorter for Chinese medicinal seed granules, comprising a main body with an adjustable intermittent feeding structure on its top surface. The intermittent feeding structure includes a storage section, a moving section, a feed pipe, and a sealing plate. The moving section can intermittently align with the storage section and transport the material falling from the storage section into the feed pipe. A servo cylinder pushes the moving section to the right, and the sealing plate moves to the bottom of the storage section to close it. The moving section slides from the sealing plate on the feed pipe wall to the opening facing the feed pipe. Seeds in the moving section fall into the feed pipe and are fed into the main body cavity for sorting. The sealing plate on the moving section wall blocks the opening of the storage section to stop material discharge. The volume of the moving section is fixed, achieving the purpose of intermittently feeding seeds into the main body. Intermittent feeding provides sufficient time for seed sorting, and quantitative feeding ensures the seed sorting effect and prevents excessive seed feeding from affecting the sorting effect.

[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technology: the amount of material in the storage hopper cannot be monitored in real time, so when the material in the storage hopper is too little or exhausted, the workers cannot replenish it in time, which will lead to shutdown and affect the color sorting efficiency. Secondly, the existing technology cannot be used to clear the storage hopper, so the storage hopper is prone to blockage when discharging material. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a color sorter for Chinese herbal medicine seeds and granules, which solves the problems in related technologies where the amount of material in the storage hopper cannot be monitored in real time. This results in workers being unable to replenish the material in the storage hopper when it is too low or depleted, leading to machine shutdowns and affecting color sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the storage hopper cannot be cleared, making it prone to blockage during material feeding.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A color sorter for Chinese herbal medicine seeds, comprising:

[0007] The main body of the color sorter and the feed pipe installed on its top;

[0008] A quantitative feeding assembly is installed on the main body of the color sorter;

[0009] The feed hopper is provided on the main body of the color sorter and the feed hopper is fixed on the quantitative feeding assembly;

[0010] A fixed bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the feed hopper;

[0011] An anti-clogging component is provided on the fixed frame, and one end of the anti-clogging component is located inside the feed hopper;

[0012] Two counterweight balls are symmetrically arranged inside the feed hopper;

[0013] A steel wire rope fixedly connected to the counterweight ball;

[0014] An annular plate is fitted onto the outer wall of the feed hopper, and one end of the wire rope passes through a round hole in the feed hopper and is fixedly connected to the annular plate;

[0015] A ring frame fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feed hopper;

[0016] A pressure sensor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ring frame;

[0017] And a buzzer fixedly installed at the top of the fixed frame.

[0018] Preferably, the anti-clogging component includes a connecting rod that passes through the feed hopper and is rotatably connected to the feed hopper. A plurality of stirring rods are fixedly installed in a circular array on the outer side wall of the connecting rod.

[0019] A motor is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the fixed frame, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0020] A transmission mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod, and multiple stirring mechanisms are arranged in a circular array on the transmission mechanism.

[0021] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a gear fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the connecting rod, and the gear is located above the stirring rod. A fixed cylinder is fixedly mounted on the inner top wall of the feed hopper, and a hollow cylinder is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder. Multiple stirring mechanisms are connected to the hollow cylinder.

[0022] An internal gear ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hollow cylinder, and the gear is meshed with the internal gear ring.

[0027] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] 1. When the material in the feed hopper decreases, the counterweight ball in the feed hopper will descend under the influence of gravity. The descending counterweight ball will then drive the annular plate to rise via the wire rope. When the rising annular plate presses against the pressure sensor at the bottom of the annular frame, the pressure sensor will immediately input a signal to the controller on the main body of the color sorter. The controller will then control the buzzer to sound an alarm, thereby reminding the staff to replenish the material, avoiding unnecessary downtime or waiting time, and thus improving the overall equipment utilization and work efficiency.

[0029] 2. The motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the rotating connecting rod drives the stirring rod and the transmission mechanism on it simultaneously. This allows the stirring mechanism to rotate with the stirring rod, which can significantly improve the fluidity of the seeds and prevent the feed hopper from getting clogged when discharging.

[0042] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 A color sorter for Chinese medicinal herb seeds includes:

[0045] The color sorter body 1 and the feed pipe 2 installed on its top;

[0046] A quantitative feeding assembly 3 is installed on the main body 1 of the color sorter;

[0047] The feed hopper 4 is installed on the main body 1 of the color sorter and is fixed on the quantitative feeding component 3;

[0048] A fixed bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the feed hopper 4;

[0049] An anti-clogging component 6 is installed on the fixed frame 5, and one end of the anti-clogging component 6 is located inside the feed hopper 4;

[0050] Two counterweight balls 7 are symmetrically arranged inside the feed hopper 4;

[0051] The steel wire rope 8 is fixedly connected to the counterweight ball 7;

[0052] An annular plate 9 is fitted on the outer wall of the feed hopper 4, and one end of the wire rope 8 passes through the round hole on the feed hopper 4 and is fixedly connected to the annular plate 9.

[0053] A ring frame 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feed hopper 4;

[0054] Pressure sensor 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of ring frame 10;

[0055] And a buzzer 12 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 5.

[0056] This utility model provides a color sorter for Chinese herbal medicine seeds. In use, the seeds are manually added to the feed hopper 4 through the opening at the top. Then, the quantitative feeding component 3 ensures that the seeds in the feed hopper 4 are quantitatively transported from the feed pipe 2 to the main body 1 of the color sorter for color sorting. Simultaneously, the anti-clogging component 6 significantly improves the flowability of the seeds, preventing blockage in the feed hopper 4. When the material in the feed hopper 4 decreases, the counterweight ball 7 in the feed hopper 4 descends under its own weight. The descending counterweight ball 7 then synchronously pulls the annular plate 9 on the outside of the feed hopper 4 upwards via the steel wire rope 8. When the rising annular plate 9 presses against the pressure sensor 11 at the bottom of the annular frame 10, the pressure sensor 11 immediately inputs a signal to the controller on the main body 1 of the color sorter. The controller then controls the buzzer 12 to sound an alarm, reminding the operator to replenish the material, avoiding unnecessary downtime or waiting time, and thus improving the overall equipment utilization and work efficiency.

[0057] Furthermore, the anti-clogging component 6 includes a connecting rod 61 that passes through the feed hopper 4 and is rotatably connected to the feed hopper 4. Multiple stirring rods 62 are sequentially fixed on the outer side wall of the connecting rod 61 in a circular array.

[0058] A motor 63 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame 5, and the output end of the motor 63 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 61;

[0059] A transmission mechanism 64 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting rod 61, and multiple stirring mechanisms 65 are arranged in a circular array on the transmission mechanism 64.

[0060] Specifically, the motor 63 drives the connecting rod 61 to rotate, and the rotating connecting rod 61 synchronously drives the stirring rod 62, thereby clearing the discharge port on the feed hopper 4 and preventing blockage when the feed hopper 4 descends. Then, when the connecting rod 61 rotates, the transmission mechanism 64 drives the stirring mechanism 65 to stir the seeds in the feed hopper 4, which can significantly improve the fluidity of the seeds and further enhance the anti-blocking effect of the feed hopper 4.

[0061] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 64 includes a gear 6401 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 61, and the gear 6401 is located above the stirring rod 62. A fixed cylinder 6402 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the feed hopper 4, and a hollow cylinder 6403 is rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder 6402. Multiple stirring mechanisms 65 are connected to the hollow cylinder 6403.

[0062] An internal gear ring 6404 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 6403, and the gear 6401 is meshed with the internal gear ring 6404.

[0063] Specifically, when the connecting rod 61 rotates, it will synchronously drive the gear 6401 to rotate. Then, the rotating gear 6401 drives the hollow cylinder 6403, which is meshed with it, to rotate. This allows the stirring mechanism 65 at the bottom of the hollow cylinder 6403 to stir the seeds in the feed hopper 4.

[0064] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism 65 includes a fixing rod 6501 fixedly installed at the bottom of the hollow cylinder 6403, and a mixing rod 6502 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing rod 6501.

[0065] Specifically, the rotating hollow cylinder 6403 drives the fixed rod 6501, and the fixed rod 6501 drives the mixing rod 6502 simultaneously while rotating, which can stir the seeds in the feed hopper 4, significantly improve the fluidity of the seeds, and further enhance the anti-clogging effect of the feed hopper 4.

[0066] Furthermore, the quantitative feeding assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 31 fixedly installed on the color sorter body 1, and a feeding hopper 4 fixedly installed on the mounting frame 31. A feeding pipe 32 is provided below the feeding hopper 4, and a T-shaped intercepting plate 33 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding pipe 32.

[0067] A cylinder 34 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 31, and a connecting plate 35 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the feed hopper 4, with the output end of the cylinder 34 connected to the connecting plate 35.

[0068] Specifically, initially, the feed pipe 32 overlaps with the feed hopper 4, allowing the seeds in the feed hopper 4 to enter the feed pipe 32. Then, the extended cylinder 34 pushes the connecting plate 35, allowing the feed pipe 32 on the mounting frame 31 to move towards the feed pipe 2. As it moves, the T-shaped interceptor plate 33 gradually moves to the bottom of the feed hopper 4 to block it. When the feed pipe 32 overlaps with the feed hopper 4, the seeds in the feed pipe 32 will enter the color sorter body 1 from the feed pipe 2 for color sorting.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment: two fixed pulleys 13 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the fixed frame 5, and the end of the steel wire rope 8 away from the counterweight ball 7 passes through the fixed pulley 13 and is fixedly connected to the annular plate 9.

[0071] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: by using the fixed pulley 13, the contact friction between the wire rope 8 and the feed hopper 4 during movement can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the wire rope 8.

[0072] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
