[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3 ,in, Figure 1 A front view schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the bamboo shoot sorting device provided by this utility model; Figure 2 A front cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the bamboo shoot sorting device provided by this utility model; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A.

[0024] The bamboo shoot sorting device includes: a sorting box 1; a conveyor shaft 2, which is rotatably installed inside the sorting box 1 for conveying bamboo shoots, with spacing between the conveyor shafts 2 to accommodate bamboo shoots of different sizes; a support frame 3, which is fixedly installed inside the sorting box 1, and is positioned below the conveyor shafts 2 at different spacings; a receiving groove 4, which is fixedly installed on the support frame 3, with an outlet 5 at one end connected to the sorting box 1; an air nozzle 6, which is fixedly installed on the sorting box 1 and connected to an external air pump mechanism, and is correspondingly positioned to the conveyor shafts 2 and the receiving groove 4; and a guide hopper 7, which is fixedly installed on the sorting box 1 and fixedly connected to the other end of the receiving groove 4 for discharging bamboo shoot waste. The sorting box 1 serves as the main structure of the entire sorting device, providing a mounting base for other components and ensuring the stable operation of the sorting process. The conveyor shafts 2 are spaced to accommodate bamboo shoots of different sizes, allowing for the transport of bamboo shoots of varying sizes. When a bamboo shoot is smaller than the spaced interval, it falls, achieving initial sorting and ensuring stability and accuracy during transport, thus improving sorting efficiency. The support frame 3 provides stable support for the receiving trough 4, ensuring it can securely receive and transport bamboo shoot waste. The receiving trough 4 receives and transports fallen bamboo shoots and discharges them through the outlet 5, achieving effective sorting. The air nozzle 6 assists in cleaning impurities from the bamboo shoot surface by airflow, while also helping to blow bamboo shoot waste off the conveyor rollers, improving sorting cleanliness and efficiency. The guide bucket 7 discharges bamboo shoot waste, ensuring smooth discharge from the sorting box 1 and preventing waste accumulation, maintaining a clean sorting environment.

[0025] A rotating shaft 8 is slidably installed inside the sorting box 1, and a scraper 9 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 8. The scraper 9 slides in contact with the bottom of the sorting box 1. A drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the sorting box 1 to drive the rotating shaft 8 and the scraper 9 to move and scrape away bamboo shoot waste. The rotating shaft 8 serves as the mounting base for the scraper 9 and can move within the sorting box 1, thereby driving the scraper 9 to perform the scraping operation. This design allows the scraper 9 to move flexibly within the sorting box 1, adapting to the waste cleaning needs of different locations. The scraper 9 is designed to scrape away any bamboo shoot waste or impurities that may remain at the bottom of the sorting box 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the interior of the sorting box 1. Through the movement of the rotating shaft 8, the scraper 9 can fully cover the bottom of the sorting box 1, effectively removing waste and preventing waste accumulation from affecting sorting efficiency. The design of the drive mechanism automates the scraping operation of the scraper 9, reducing the burden of manual cleaning and improving the overall efficiency of the sorting device. Meanwhile, the drive mechanism can also adjust the moving speed and range of the scraper 9 according to actual needs to adapt to the requirements of different sorting scenarios.

[0026] The drive mechanism includes a mounting cover 10, a drive block 11, a drive screw 12, and a drive motor 13. The mounting cover 10 is fixedly mounted on the sorting box 1. The drive block 11 is slidably mounted inside the mounting cover 10, and is fixedly connected to the portion of the rotating shaft 8 extending into the mounting cover 10. The drive screw 12 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting cover 10 and is threadedly connected to the drive block 11. The drive motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the mounting cover 10, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the drive screw 12. The mounting cover 10 provides mounting space and protection for other components of the drive mechanism, ensuring the stability and safety of the drive mechanism on the sorting box 1. The design of the drive block 11 allows the rotating shaft 8 to slide within the mounting cover 10, thereby driving the scraper 9 to perform scraping operations. When the drive screw 12 rotates, due to the threaded connection, the drive block 11 moves along the axial direction of the drive screw 12, thereby driving the rotating shaft 8 and the scraper 9 to move. The drive motor 13 provides power to the drive screw 12, enabling it to rotate, thereby driving the drive block 11 and the rotating shaft 8 to move.

[0027] A rotary motor 14 is fixedly mounted on the drive block 11. The output shaft of the rotary motor 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8 and is used to drive the scraper 9 to rotate and reset. The design of the rotary motor 14 allows the scraper 9 to rotate and reset to its initial position after completing one scraping operation, preparing it for the next scraping operation. This function enhances the flexibility and durability of the scraper 9, ensuring continuous and effective cleaning of waste at the bottom of the sorting box 1. The design of the rotary motor 14 also reduces wear on the scraper 9 during the rotation and reset process, extending the service life of the scraper 9 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0028] A guide rod 15 is fixedly installed inside the mounting cover 10. The guide rod 15 slides through the drive block 11. A limit block 16 is fixedly installed on the drive block 11, and the limit block 16 slides into the inner wall of the mounting cover 10. The guide rod 15 provides additional guidance and support for the movement of the drive block 11, ensuring that the drive block 11 remains stable during movement and does not deviate or shake. The limit block 16 limits the range of movement of the drive block 11, preventing it from exceeding the predetermined stroke, thereby protecting the drive mechanism and the sorting box 1 from damage. At the same time, the limit block 16 also enhances the connection stability between the drive block 11 and the mounting cover 10, reducing the risk of loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact.

[0029] The support frame 3 has a movable groove 17, within which a roller 18 is rotatably mounted. A support block 19 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 8. The bottom of the support block 19 is plate-shaped and slides in contact with the roller 18. The movable groove 17 provides space for the subsequently installed roller 18 and also allows the support block 19 to be guided and restricted during movement, ensuring stability. The addition of the roller 18 reduces the friction between the support block 19 and the support frame 3, making the support block 19 move more smoothly and reducing energy consumption and wear. The design of the support block 19 not only provides additional support for the rotating shaft 8 but also ensures that the rotating shaft 8 remains stable during movement, preventing deviation or wobbling. The plate-shaped bottom increases the contact area between the support block 19 and the roller 18, further improving movement stability. Simultaneously, the sliding contact with the roller 18 reduces friction, making movement easier.

[0030] A sealing door 20 is hinged to the sorting box 1, and the sealing door 20 is correspondingly arranged with the scraper 9 to discharge bamboo shoot impurities from the bottom inner wall of the sorting box 1. The design of the sealing door 20 allows for easy discharge of bamboo shoot impurities from the bottom inner wall of the sorting box 1 without the need for disassembly or large-scale cleaning of the entire sorting box 1, greatly saving cleaning time and labor costs. Timely discharge of impurities can maintain the cleanliness of the inside of the sorting box 1, preventing impurities from interfering with the sorting process, thereby improving sorting efficiency and accuracy. The hinged design of the sealing door 20 allows it to be opened and closed flexibly, enabling cleaning operations to be performed at any time as needed.

[0031] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0032] The working principle of the bamboo shoot sorting device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0033] In use, first start conveyor shaft 2 and place the bamboo shoots to be sorted on conveyor shaft 2. Since the conveyor shafts 2 are spaced to accommodate bamboo shoots of different sizes, when the size of the bamboo shoot is smaller than the space between the conveyor shafts 2, the bamboo shoot will fall off the conveyor shaft 2, thus achieving the initial sorting of the bamboo shoots.

[0034] The falling bamboo shoots will fall into the receiving trough 4, which is fixedly installed on the support frame 3, providing stable support for the receiving trough 4. The receiving trough 4 is connected to the sorting box 1 and has a discharge port 5. When the bamboo shoots accumulate to a certain amount in the receiving trough 4, bamboo shoots of the corresponding size can be discharged through the discharge port 5, realizing the effective sorting of bamboo shoots.

[0035] During the sorting process, the air nozzle 6 continuously sprays air, which helps to clean impurities from the surface of the bamboo shoots, improving the cleanliness of the sorting. Furthermore, the airflow from the air nozzle 6 helps to blow bamboo shoot waste off the conveyor shaft 2, causing it to fall into the receiving trough 4 or the guide hopper 7. The guide hopper 7 is fixedly installed on the sorting box 1 and connected to the other end of the receiving trough 4, used to discharge bamboo shoot waste, ensuring that the waste can be smoothly discharged from the sorting box 1 and preventing waste from accumulating inside.

[0036] Simultaneously, the drive mechanism moves the rotating shaft 8 and scraper 9 within the sorting box 1. The drive mechanism includes a mounting cover 10, a drive block 11, a drive screw 12, and a drive motor 13. After the drive motor 13 starts, it drives the drive screw 12 to rotate. Since the drive screw 12 is threadedly connected to the drive block 11, the drive block 11 moves along the axial direction of the drive screw 12. The drive block 11 is fixedly connected to the portion of the rotating shaft 8 that extends into the mounting cover 10, thus driving the rotating shaft 8 and scraper 9 to move together. The scraper 9 slides in contact with the bottom of the sorting box 1, scraping away any bamboo shoot waste or impurities that may remain at the bottom of the sorting box 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the sorting box 1.

[0037] After scraper 9 completes one scraping operation, rotary motor 14 starts, driving rotary shaft 8 and scraper 9 to rotate and reset, preparing for the next scraping operation. This function enhances the flexibility and durability of scraper 9, ensuring continuous and effective cleaning of waste at the bottom of sorting bin 1.

[0038] In addition, the guide rod 15 fixedly installed inside the mounting cover 10 and the limiting block 16 fixedly installed on the drive block 11 provide additional guidance and support for the movement of the drive block 11, and limit the range of movement of the drive block 11 to prevent it from exceeding the predetermined stroke, thereby protecting the drive mechanism and the sorting box 1 from damage.

[0039] Finally, when it is necessary to clean the bamboo shoot impurities on the bottom inner wall of the sorting box 1, the sealing door 20 can be opened. The sealing door 20 is correspondingly set with the scraper 9 to facilitate the discharge of impurities scraped by the scraper 9. The hinged design of the sealing door 20 allows it to be opened and closed flexibly, and cleaning operations can be carried out at any time as needed.
