Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of separation and impurity removal devices, and discloses an adjustable slope separation and impurity removal structure. The adjustable slope separation and impurity removal structure includes a support frame, an adjustment frame, and a conveyor belt. This structure utilizes the difference in rolling characteristics between spherical materials and long / sheet-shaped impurities, as well as the difference in rolling speed due to different masses, to achieve efficient separation of all types of impurities. The conveyor belt is inclined and rotates laterally. Spherical materials roll down the slope to the first discharge port due to their own weight, while impurities such as branches and stalks cannot roll due to their irregular shape, and lightweight impurities roll slowly, moving laterally with the conveyor belt to the second discharge port. The inclination adjustment component can dynamically adjust the slope according to the material characteristics, adapting to the sorting needs of different materials (such as beans and nuts of different particle sizes). A single unit can replace traditional multi-unit combinations, improving sorting efficiency and reducing material loss.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of separation and impurity removal devices, for example, to an adjustable slope separation and impurity removal structure. Background Technology

[0002] The descriptions in this section are provided only as background information relating to this disclosure and do not constitute prior art.

[0003] In the field of agricultural product processing, existing technologies have significant limitations in separating impurities such as branches, leaves, and stems mixed in with spherical materials (such as beans and nuts). Currently, mainstream separation methods include vibrating screening, air-driven gravity separation, and rotary drum screening. However, a single piece of equipment cannot effectively separate all types of impurities. The main reasons are as follows: Vibrating screening: Separates based on differences in material particle size, but it is difficult to screen long, thin impurities such as branches and stems that are similar in size to spherical materials. Air-driven gravity separation: Separates lightweight impurities (such as leaves) using airflow and gravity differences, but it is ineffective for impurities with similar densities (such as stems). Rotary drum screening: Separates impurities through the rotation of the drum and the interaction of the screen openings, but it is ineffective at separating impurities with diameters and shapes similar to the material (such as spherical broken fruit shells). Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides an adjustable slope separation and impurity removal structure. Utilizing the difference in rolling characteristics between spherical materials and long / flaky impurities, as well as the difference in rolling speed due to varying masses, an adjustable slope conveyor belt structure achieves efficient separation of all types of impurities. The conveyor belt is inclined and rotates laterally. Spherical materials roll down the slope to the first discharge port due to their own weight, while impurities such as branches and stalks, due to their irregular shapes, cannot roll, and lighter impurities roll at a slower speed, moving laterally with the conveyor belt to the second discharge port. The inclination adjustment component can dynamically adjust the slope according to the material characteristics, adapting to the sorting needs of different materials (such as beans and nuts of different particle sizes). A single unit can replace traditional multi-unit combinations, improving sorting efficiency and reducing material loss.

Spherical materials roll down the slope to the first discharge port due to their own weight, while impurities such as branches and stalks, due to their irregular shapes, cannot roll, and lighter impurities roll at slower speeds, moving laterally with the conveyor belt to the second discharge port.

[0058] The lower support 19 is connected to the conveyor belt 13 on one side and hinged to the support frame 11 on the other side.

[0067] A belt 24 is mounted on a roller 22. The belt 24 may also have protrusions or textures along the rotation direction to increase friction. Objects of different shapes, masses, and volumes roll at different speeds on the inclined belt 24, allowing for targeted separation of impurities based on the characteristics of the product and the impurities.
