Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorghum gravity analyzer technology, specifically a continuous sorghum gravity analyzer. Background Technology

[0002] In the pre-processing stage of sorghum processing, the gravity analyzer plays a crucial role in removing impurities and shriveled grains based on the specific gravity differences of sorghum kernels, thus selecting plump and high-quality sorghum. Traditional gravity analyzers can only perform a single screening process. After the sorghum is fed into the inlet, it is blown by a fan and screened by a screen to complete the initial specific gravity separation, resulting in pre-screened sorghum.

[0003] However, due to limitations in the accuracy of single-pass screening, secondary screening is often required to meet the stringent requirements for raw material purity and uniformity in sorghum deep processing. At this point, workers must manually intervene to gather and transport the sorghum after the initial screening, then pour it back into the gravity separator through the feed inlet to begin the second round of screening. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and manual operation is prone to introducing errors, resulting in low screening efficiency. This restricts the automation and continuity of the entire sorghum processing production line, making it difficult to adapt to the high-efficiency and precise production rhythm pursued by modern large-scale sorghum processing enterprises.

[0004] Based on this, a continuous sorghum gravity meter is now provided, which can eliminate the drawbacks of existing devices. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a continuous sorghum gravity meter includes a casing 100. A horizontal screening component 200 is provided at the upper end of the casing 100. The horizontal screening component 200 includes a horizontal screening cylinder 201 set at the top of the casing 100. A feed hopper 202 is provided at the upper end of the horizontal screening cylinder 201. A first discharge port 203 is provided at the lower end of the horizontal screening component 200 away from the feed hopper 202. A material spreading component is provided at the lower end of the first discharge port 203. A wind-powered screening component 300 is provided at the lower end of the material spreading component. A vertical circulating conveying component 400 for secondary screening of sorghum is provided on one side of the casing 100. In use, sorghum is added from the feed hopper 202, so that the sorghum is first screened by the horizontal screening cylinder 201, then falls from the first discharge port 203, is screened by the wind-powered screening component 300, and finally is conveyed back to the feed hopper 202 by the vertical circulating conveying component 400 for secondary screening.

[0025] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, a waste discharge plate 101 is provided inside the casing 100, located below the horizontal screening assembly 200. One end of the waste discharge plate 101 has a baffle plate 102, and the other end has a waste storage box 103. Below the waste discharge plate 101 is a first guide plate 107, and one end of the first guide plate 107 has a second guide plate 108. A filter groove 104 is provided on one side of the waste storage box 103. The filter groove 104 provides ventilation while preventing dust and debris from being discharged. The lower part of the waste storage box 103 is equipped with a... At the second discharge port 105 for waste removal, a sealing plate 106 is provided. The waste screened by the horizontal screening component 200 will fall onto the waste removal plate 101. Under the action of the wind force of the wind screening component 300, the waste screened by the wind screening component 300 and the waste screened by the horizontal screening component 200 are blown together into the waste storage box 103 along the waste removal plate 101. After screening, the sorghum enters the vertical circulation conveying component 400 along the first guide inclined plate 107 and the second guide inclined plate 108.

[0026] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lower part of the horizontal screening cylinder 201 is evenly provided with filter holes 204, which are located between the feed hopper 202 and the discharge port 203. A first auger 205 is installed inside the horizontal screening cylinder 201, with one end connected to the output end of a first motor 206. The first motor 206 is located outside the casing 100. The material spreading assembly includes a material trough 207 located below the first discharge port 203. A movable plate 208 is hinged to one side of the material trough 207, and an electric telescopic rod 209 is provided on one side of the movable plate 208. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 209 is connected to the casing 100. 00 Hinged, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 209 is hinged to the movable plate 208. When the sorghum enters the horizontal screening cylinder 201 from the feed hopper 202, the first motor 206 drives the first auger 205 to rotate, so that the sorghum is evenly spread in the horizontal screening cylinder 201 and moves towards the discharge port 203. At the same time, impurities will fall through the filter hole 204. When the sorghum reaches the first discharge port 203, it falls into the trough 207. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 209 can control the opening and closing angle of the movable plate 208, so that the sorghum falls in a flat shape, which is convenient for the screening of the wind-powered screening component 300.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wind-powered screening component 300 includes a fan 301 disposed on one side of the casing 100. The fan 301 is disposed at the lower opening of the material spreading component. When the sorghum, after being adjusted by the material spreading component, falls from the lower opening of the material spreading component, the fan 301 is started, and the generated wind force blows the sorghum, causing the lighter impurities in it to be blown away, thereby realizing wind-powered screening.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the vertical circulating conveying assembly 400 includes a vertical conveying pipe 401 disposed on one side of the housing 100. The lower part of the vertical conveying pipe 401 has an inlet 402, which is connected to the outlet end of the second guide plate 108. The middle part of the vertical conveying pipe 401 has a third outlet 403 with a gate valve, and the upper part of the vertical conveying pipe 401 has a fourth outlet 404 with a gate valve. The outlet end of the fourth outlet 404 is located at the upper end of the feed hopper 202. A second auger 405 is disposed inside the vertical conveying pipe 401. The upper end of 05 is connected to the output end of the second motor 406. After being screened by the wind, the sorghum falls onto the second guide plate 108 and enters the vertical conveying pipe 401 from the feed port 402. The second motor 406 drives the second auger 405 to rotate, conveying the sorghum upward. When the sorghum reaches the fourth discharge port 404, it falls back into the feed hopper 202 for secondary screening. After the secondary screening is completed, the gate valve of the fourth discharge port 404 is closed and the gate valve of the third discharge port 403 is opened, so that the sorghum after screening is discharged from the third discharge port 403.

[0029] The above embodiment discloses a continuous sorghum gravity separator. In use, sorghum is added through the feed hopper 202. After the sorghum enters the horizontal screening cylinder 201 from the feed hopper 202, the first motor 206 drives the first auger 205 to rotate, causing the sorghum to spread evenly within the horizontal screening cylinder 201 and move towards the discharge port 203. Simultaneously, impurities fall through the filter holes 204. When the sorghum reaches the first discharge port 203, it falls into the trough 207. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 209 controls the opening and closing angle of the movable plate 208, causing the sorghum to fall in a flat plane. Simultaneously, the blower 301 is activated, generating wind that blows away lighter impurities from the sorghum, thus achieving wind-powered screening. Under the action of the wind force of the wind-powered screening component 300, the impurities screened by the wind-powered screening component 300 and the impurities screened by the horizontal screening component 200 are blown into the impurity storage box 103 along the impurity discharge plate 101. After screening, the sorghum enters the vertical circulation conveying component 400 along the first guide inclined plate 107 and the second guide inclined plate 108. Then, the second motor 406 is started to drive the second auger 405 to rotate and convey the sorghum upward. When the sorghum reaches the fourth discharge port 404, it falls into the feed hopper 202 again for secondary screening. After the secondary screening is completed, the gate valve of the fourth discharge port 404 is closed and the gate valve of the third discharge port 403 is opened so that the sorghum after screening is discharged from the third discharge port 403.

[0030] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
