Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment technology, specifically a color sorting device used in the processing of Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology
[0002] A color sorter is a non-destructive sorting device based on the differences in the optical properties of materials. It automatically sorts particles of different colors using photoelectric detection technology and is widely used in industries such as food, chemical, and mining to achieve quality inspection and grading of bulk materials and industrial products.
[0003] In traditional Chinese medicine processing workshops, color sorters are mainly used to sort sliced medicinal materials, removing unqualified products. They capture image information of the sliced medicinal materials using a CCD camera and use compressed air to blow them up and drop them into a collection box. However, in actual use, there are some functional deficiencies and room for improvement. For example, when the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine slices fall from the hopper to the conveyor belt, the thickness control of the material depends on the actual specifications of the material. For example, the thickness difference between sliced medicinal materials and granular medicinal materials is relatively large, which also has a certain impact on the subsequent sorting accuracy. Adjustments need to be made according to the actual situation. It does not have the function of easily adjusting the output thickness.
[0004] Now, a novel color sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a color sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of not having the function of easily adjusting the output thickness.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a color sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials, comprising an outer shell, an air compressor fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom inside the outer shell, an inner support frame fixedly connected to the right side of the inner shell, multiple sets of pulse valves installed at the middle position of the left side of the inner support frame, an oblique guide groove fixedly connected to the left side of the inner support frame, multiple sets of spray nozzles fixedly connected to the right side of the oblique guide groove, an air guide pipe movably connected between the pulse valves and the spray nozzles, and two sets of collection devices horizontally placed on the left side of the bottom inside the outer shell. The frame includes multiple CCD camera modules mounted on the left side of the inner shell. A transition guide groove is longitudinally fixed between the front and rear ends of the inner shell. A fixing groove is fixedly connected to the top of the inner support frame. A drive motor is mounted on the left side of the rear end of the fixing groove. A drive shaft is movably connected to the left side inside the fixing groove. A driven shaft is movably connected to the right side inside the fixing groove. A wire mesh conveyor belt is sleeved between the drive shaft and the driven shaft. A hopper is fixedly connected between the front and rear ends inside the fixing groove. An adjustment component for adjusting the discharge thickness is provided on the left side of the hopper.
[0007] The adjustment assembly includes two sets of limiting sleeves, which are welded to the front and rear ends of the left side of the hopper, respectively. A discharge port is opened at the bottom of the left side of the hopper. An electric cylinder is installed on the left side of the limiting sleeve. A baffle is vertically inserted between the two sets of limiting sleeves, and a transmission plate is welded to the top of the baffle.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the hopper is higher than the surface of the wire mesh conveyor belt, and the bottom end of the limiting sleeve is flush with the top end of the discharge port.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the shape and size of the outer side of the baffle are adapted to the shape and size of the inner side of the limiting sleeve, and the baffle can slide up and down along the inside of the limiting sleeve.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the right side of the baffle and the transmission plate are flush, and the output end of the electric cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission plate.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a motor mounting base is fixedly connected to the right side of the hopper, and a vibration motor is installed on the right side of the motor mounting base.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the motor fixing seat is higher than the bottom end of the hopper, and the motor fixing seat and the vibration motor are fixedly connected.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom end of the fixed groove is fixedly connected to a dust collection hopper, and the bottom end of the dust collection hopper is movably connected to an industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe.
[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top of the dust collection hopper is lower than the bottom of the wire mesh conveyor belt surface, and the dust collection hopper and the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe are internally connected.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the color sorting equipment used in the processing of Chinese medicinal materials not only realizes the function of easily adjusting the output thickness, but also realizes the function of accelerating the feeding and preventing clogging, and also realizes the function of easily collecting dust and fine powder;
[0016] The system is equipped with a hopper, a limiting sleeve, a discharge port, an electric cylinder, a baffle, and a transmission plate. During use, the raw Chinese medicinal materials in the hopper fall onto the wire mesh conveyor belt. The drive motor drives the wire mesh conveyor belt to rotate continuously via the drive shaft, conveying the material to the left. The material slides along the transition guide groove to the inclined guide groove. The CCD camera module collects image information of the material. Based on the image information, the pulse valve opens and closes, and compressed air is sprayed from the nozzle to blow unqualified products to the outer collection frame. Qualified products fall naturally into the inner collection frame. According to the actual shape of the material, the height of the baffle can be adjusted, and the electric cylinder can extend or retract. The transmission plate can then drive the baffle to slide up and down along the inside of the limiting sleeve, thereby controlling the actual height of the material discharged from the discharge port and thus controlling the thickness of the discharged material. This achieves the function of easily adjusting the thickness of the discharged material.
[0017] By setting up a motor mounting base and a vibration motor, the vibration motor on the side of the motor mounting base starts synchronously while the material is being discharged. The high-frequency micro-vibration accelerates the material from sliding out of the hopper, preventing clogging and achieving the function of accelerating material discharge and preventing clogging.
[0018] By setting up a dust collection hopper and an industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe, the vibrating motor vibrates and feeds the material while the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe is connected to the industrial vacuum cleaner. When the industrial vacuum cleaner is turned on, suction is generated at the dust collection hopper, which removes fine particles and dust from the surface of the medicinal materials through the wire mesh conveyor belt. At the same time, it promotes the falling of materials inside the hopper, thus realizing the function of easy collection of dust and fine powder. Attached Figure Description

An air guide pipe 5 is movably connected between the pulse valves 4 and the spray nozzles 6. Two sets of collection frames 8 are horizontally placed on the left side of the bottom inside the outer shell 1. Multiple sets of... The CCD camera module 9 has a transition guide groove 10 that is longitudinally fixed between the front and rear ends inside the outer shell 1. The top of the inner support frame 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing groove 11. A drive motor 12 is installed on the left side of the rear end of the fixing groove 11. A drive shaft 14 is movably connected to the left side inside the fixing groove 11. A driven shaft 15 is movably connected to the right side inside the fixing groove 11. A wire mesh conveyor belt surface 13 is sleeved between the drive shaft 14 and the driven shaft 15. A hopper 16 is fixedly connected between the front and rear ends inside the fixing groove 11. An adjustment component for adjusting the discharge thickness is provided on the left side of the hopper 16.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 A color sorting device for processing Chinese medicinal materials also includes an adjustment component. The adjustment component includes two sets of limiting sleeves 17. The two sets of limiting sleeves 17 are welded to the front and rear ends of the left side of the hopper 16, respectively. A discharge port 18 is opened at the bottom of the left side of the hopper 16. An electric cylinder 19 is installed on the left side of the limiting sleeves 17. A baffle 20 is vertically inserted between the two sets of limiting sleeves 17. A transmission plate 21 is welded to the top of the baffle 20.
[0028] The bottom of the hopper 16 is higher than the surface of the wire mesh conveyor belt 13. The bottom of the limiting sleeve 17 is flush with the top of the discharge port 18. The shape and size of the outside of the baffle 20 are compatible with the shape and size of the inside of the limiting sleeve 17. The baffle 20 can slide up and down along the inside of the limiting sleeve 17. The right side of the baffle 20 and the transmission plate 21 are flush. The output end of the electric cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission plate 21 to facilitate adjustment of the discharge thickness.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the electric cylinder 19 extends or retracts, it can drive the baffle 20 to slide up and down along the inside of the limiting sleeve 17 via the transmission plate 21, thereby controlling the actual height of the material discharged from the discharge port 18 and thus controlling the thickness of the material discharged.
[0030] A motor mounting base 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the hopper 16. A vibration motor 23 is installed on the right side of the motor mounting base 22. The bottom end of the motor mounting base 22 is higher than the bottom end of the hopper 16. The motor mounting base 22 and the vibration motor 23 are fixedly connected, and the material is accelerated by vibration.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the vibration motor 23 on the side of the motor mounting base 22 starts synchronously, accelerating the material to slide down from the hopper 16 through high-frequency micro-vibration, thus preventing blockage.
[0032] The bottom end of the fixed trough 11 is fixedly connected to the dust collection hopper 24, and the bottom end of the dust collection hopper 24 is movably connected to the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe 25. The top end of the dust collection hopper 24 is lower than the bottom end of the wire mesh conveyor belt surface 13. The dust collection hopper 24 and the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe 25 are internally connected to each other, which facilitates the collection of dust in the raw materials.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe 25 is connected to the industrial vacuum cleaner and the industrial vacuum cleaner is turned on, suction is generated at the dust collection hopper 24, which removes fine particles and dust from the surface of the medicinal materials through the wire mesh conveyor belt 13, and also promotes the falling of materials inside the hopper 16.
[0034] Working Principle: In use, the raw Chinese medicinal materials in the hopper 16 first fall onto the wire mesh conveyor belt 13. The drive motor 12 drives the wire mesh conveyor belt 13 to rotate continuously through the drive shaft 14, conveying the material to the left. The material slides along the transition guide groove 10 to the inclined guide groove 7. The CCD camera module 9 collects image information of the material. Based on the image information, the pulse valve 4 opens and closes, and compressed air is sprayed from the nozzle 6, blowing unqualified products to the outer collection frame 8. Qualified products fall naturally into the inner collection frame 8. According to the actual shape of the material, the height of the baffle 20 can be adjusted, and the electric cylinder 19 extends or retracts. This allows the baffle 20 to slide up and down along the inside of the limiting sleeve 17 via the transmission plate 21, thereby controlling the actual height of the material discharged from the outlet 18 and thus controlling the thickness of the discharged material. At the same time as the material is discharged, the vibration motor 23 on the side of the motor mounting base 22 starts synchronously, accelerating the material from the hopper 16 through high-frequency micro-vibration, preventing blockage. While the vibrating motor 23 vibrates and feeds the material, the industrial vacuum cleaner connecting pipe 25 is connected to the industrial vacuum cleaner. When the industrial vacuum cleaner is turned on, suction is generated at the dust collection hopper 24, which removes fine particles and dust from the surface of the medicinal materials through the wire mesh conveyor belt 13, and also promotes the falling of materials inside the hopper 16.
[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
