Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material sorting equipment technology, specifically to a sorting device for Polygonatum sibiricum. Background Technology

[0002] Before processing Polygonatum sibiricum raw materials into pharmaceuticals, the raw materials need to undergo peeling, slag removal, soaking and washing, and sorting. The sorting process mainly involves picking out substandard Polygonatum sibiricum, some residual roots, rotten leaves, and other impurities. For example, in a manual sorting line for Polygonatum sibiricum production with application number CN202221304537.3, Polygonatum sibiricum is transported along a conveyor line. During the transport process, multiple turning devices turn the Polygonatum sibiricum on the conveyor line. Then, substandard Polygonatum sibiricum, rotten leaves, and roots are manually picked out. Qualified Polygonatum sibiricum is transported to the collection point with the conveyor device, while substandard Polygonatum sibiricum, rotten leaves, and roots are manually picked out and placed in a waste bin on the side of the conveyor device for collection. Finally, they are dumped in a unified manner, which is very convenient.

[0003] However, discarded Solomon's seal roots, especially those of substandard quality, still have some economic value. It is wasteful to throw them away along with rotten leaves. Furthermore, it is difficult to distinguish substandard Solomon's seal roots from rotten leaves when collected in waste bins. Moreover, repeated manual handling of rotten leaves and roots can cause them to stick together on the hands. Even if substandard Solomon's seal, rotten leaves, and roots are placed in different waste bins during the sorting process, the rotten leaves and roots may still stick to each other or re-adhere to the substandard Solomon's seal, causing inconvenience for subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a Polygonatum sibiricum sorting device.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A sorting device for Polygonatum sibiricum includes a transport device and a turning device on top of it. The transport device includes a horizontally arranged transport belt. Polygonatum sibiricum moves along the transport device under the action of the transport belt, and the turning device can turn the Polygonatum sibiricum over. The specific structure and working principle of the transport device and the turning device can be adopted from the transport device and the turning device in patent number CN217625629U, which will not be described in detail here.

[0007] As the core technical concept of this utility model, a first partition plate is provided on the upper side of the conveyor belt along the transport direction, and the first partition plate divides the conveyor belt into a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt. A sorting device is also provided on one side of the transport device. The sorting device includes a vertically arranged water inlet pipe connected to an external water source, and two upward-facing transport troughs are connected to one side of the water inlet pipe. The two transport troughs are the first transport trough and the second transport trough, respectively. A collection device is also provided at the end of the first conveyor belt, the second conveyor belt, the first transport trough, and the second transport trough.

[0008] During use, while the raw material Polygonatum is transported via the first conveyor belt, operators can simultaneously sort the raw material after it has been turned over by the turning device. Qualified Polygonatum is retained at the end of the first conveyor belt for collection, while substandard Polygonatum sorted manually can be sent to the second conveyor belt for separate collection. Meanwhile, the sorting device located on the side of the equipment achieves fine separation through a double transport trough structure—the first transport trough collects waste materials such as rotten leaves, while the second transport trough specifically collects Polygonatum roots with reuse value. During the sorting process, operators can clean their sorting tools or fingers by inserting them into the transport trough containing clean water, effectively preventing the mutual adhesion between rotten leaves, waste materials, roots, and substandard Polygonatum. This ensures that the four types of materials (qualified products, substandard products, waste materials, and roots) remain isolated during transportation, ultimately achieving efficient and accurate classification and collection, significantly improving raw material utilization and reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the second conveyor belt is 1 / 4 of the width of the first conveyor belt, and the second conveyor belt is positioned closer to the side where the sorting device is located.

[0010] Preferably, a U-shaped pipe with an upward opening is provided on one side of the water inlet pipe, and a second partition plate is provided in the middle of the U-shaped pipe. The first transport trough and the second transport trough are located on both sides of the second partition plate.

[0011] Furthermore, guide plates are inclined on both sides of the opening of the U-shaped tube, and the two guide plates are flared with the opening facing upward, which makes it convenient for operators to place rotten leaves or roots into the first transport trough or the second transport trough.

[0012] To improve safety, as one implementation method, the upper end of the guide plate and / or the second partition plate is a smooth rounded head structure.

[0013] To improve safety, as an alternative implementation, the upper end of the guide plate and / or the second partition plate is detachably fitted with a soft rubber sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple material turning devices are spaced apart along the transport direction, and guide plates are provided on the U-shaped tubes located behind each material turning device to reduce material waste.

[0015] As described above, the sorting equipment for Polygonatum includes a collection device corresponding to the first and second transport tanks, which includes a shared filter box. This box is designed to filter the solids (such as rotten leaves and roots) in the two transport tanks separately and to transport the filtered water back to the inlet pipe for recycling water resources.

[0016] Specifically, the filter box is equipped with a filter plate inside, and a third partition plate is provided on the filter plate at the position corresponding to the second partition plate. The side plates on both sides of the filter box corresponding to the third partition plate can be opened to clean the filtered waste and roots respectively.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a Polygonatum sorting device are that by dividing the conveyor belt into two transport areas and setting up two transport troughs, operators can insert sorting tools or fingers into the transport troughs for cleaning during the sorting process, avoiding the problem of mutual adhesion between rotten leaves, waste materials, roots and substandard Polygonatum, ensuring that the four types of materials (qualified products, substandard products, waste materials and roots) remain isolated during transportation, ultimately achieving efficient and accurate classification and collection, significantly improving the utilization rate of raw materials and reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0025] Combination Figure 1This embodiment provides a sorting device for Polygonatum sibiricum, including a transport device and a turning device 2 on top of it. The transport device includes a horizontally arranged transport belt 1. Polygonatum sibiricum moves along the transport device under the action of the transport belt 1, and the turning device 2 can turn the Polygonatum sibiricum over. The specific structure and working principle of the transport device and the turning device 2 can be adopted from the transport device and the turning device 2 in patent number CN217625629U. This embodiment will not elaborate on these details.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As the core technical concept of this utility model, a first partition plate 3 is provided on the upper side of the conveyor belt 1 along the transport direction, and the first partition plate 3 divides it into a first conveyor belt 11 and a second conveyor belt 12. A sorting device is also provided on one side of the transport device. The sorting device includes a vertically arranged water inlet pipe 4, which is connected to an external water source. Two upward-facing transport troughs are connected to one side of the water inlet pipe 4, and the two transport troughs are the first transport trough 51 and the second transport trough 52, respectively. A collection device is also provided at the end of the first conveyor belt 11, the second conveyor belt 12, the first transport trough 51 and the second transport trough 52.

[0027] During use, while the raw material Polygonatum is transported via the first conveyor belt 11, the operator can simultaneously sort the raw material after it has been turned over by the turning device 2. Qualified Polygonatum is retained at the end of the first conveyor belt 11 for collection, while substandard Polygonatum sorted manually can be sent to the second conveyor belt 12 for separate collection. At the same time, the sorting device set on the side of the equipment achieves fine separation through a double transport trough structure—the first transport trough 51 receives rotten leaves and waste, while the second transport trough 52 is specifically for collecting Polygonatum roots with reuse value. During the sorting process, the operator can clean the sorting tools or fingers by inserting them into the transport troughs with clean water in real time, effectively avoiding the problem of mutual adhesion between rotten leaves, waste, and substandard Polygonatum. This ensures that the four types of materials (qualified products, substandard products, waste, and roots) remain isolated during transportation, ultimately achieving efficient and accurate classification and collection, significantly improving the utilization rate of raw materials and reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0028] Combination Figure 2 The sorting process of this sorting equipment is usually the last step before the slicing process of Polygonatum sibiricum. It is a fine sorting step, that is, the number of defective Polygonatum sibiricum is much lower than the number of qualified Polygonatum sibiricum. Therefore, the width of the second conveyor belt 12 is set to 1 / 4 of the width of the first conveyor belt 11, and the second conveyor belt 12 is set close to the side where the sorting device is located. The operator is located on the side where the sorting device is located, which can facilitate picking out the defective Polygonatum sibiricum and placing it on the second conveyor belt 12.

[0029] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4A U-shaped pipe 5 with its opening facing upward is provided on one side of the water inlet pipe 4. A second partition plate 6 is provided in the middle of the U-shaped pipe 5. The first transport trough 51 and the second transport trough 52 are located on both sides of the second partition plate 6.

[0030] The U-shaped tube 5 has guide plates 7 inclined on both sides of the opening, and the two guide plates 7 are flared with the opening facing upward, which makes it easy for operators to place rotten leaves or roots into the first transport trough 51 or the second transport trough 52.

[0031] To improve safety, as one implementation, the upper end of the guide plate 7 and / or the second partition plate 6 is detachably fitted with a soft rubber sleeve; as another implementation, the upper end of the guide plate 7 and / or the second partition plate 6 has a smooth rounded head structure.

[0032] In this embodiment, to improve safety, the upper ends of the guide plate 7 and the second partition plate 6 are preferably smooth and rounded (e.g., Figure 4 It is relatively durable and can protect operators from sharp corner injuries while working.

[0033] To improve sorting quality, multiple turning devices 2 are spaced apart along the transport direction, which can sort the Polygonatum products multiple times. Each U-shaped tube 5 located behind the turning device 2 is equipped with a guide plate 7, thereby reducing material waste by setting the guide plate 7 behind the turning device 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, the collection device corresponding to the first transport trough 51 and the second transport trough 52 includes a common filter box 8, which can filter the rotten leaves and roots in the two transport troughs separately and transport the filtered clean water back to the water inlet pipe 4 in order to recycle water resources.

[0035] Specifically, a filter plate 81 is horizontally arranged inside the filter box 8, and a third partition plate 82 is provided on the filter plate 81 at the position corresponding to the second partition plate 6. The side plates on both sides of the filter box 8 corresponding to the third partition plate 82 can be opened to clean the filtered waste and roots respectively.
