Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of material sorting equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a hybrid air classifier. Background Technology

[0002] As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts gain wider acceptance, the use of Chinese herbal medicines is becoming increasingly common. To enhance the competitiveness of Chinese herbal medicines, the speed of herbal processing must keep pace. In TCM production, especially in assembly line production, it is inevitable that different weights and specifications of the same medicinal materials will be mixed together. Therefore, to ensure the quality of the herbs, it is generally necessary to separate herbs of the same specifications, especially density. The conventional sorting method is to use an air classifier to separate herbs of different particle sizes and weights, such as separating leaves and stems, so that different parts can be used for different medicinal purposes.

[0003] For example, a medicinal herb air separator with application number CN201621428941.6 includes a casing, an air separator mechanism inside the casing, and an inlet and an outlet connected to the air separator mechanism. The air separator mechanism includes an upper air separator mechanism and a lower air separator mechanism configured as upper and lower levels. Both the upper and lower air separator mechanisms are composed of a chamber, an inclined material plate, a fan, and a vibrating motor. Both the fan and the vibrating motor are electrically connected to a controller. The upper air separator mechanism is also provided with a material passage port, which is connected to a secondary air separator mechanism. The secondary air separator mechanism is arranged in parallel with the upper and lower air separator mechanisms. Each of the lower and secondary air separator mechanisms is provided with an outlet.

[0004] Based on the search of the aforementioned patents and the findings of existing equipment, it is found that existing air separators are not convenient for adjusting the discharge rate of air-separated materials, which can easily lead to a large amount of material falling during air separation and reduce air separation efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a hybrid air separator in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a hybrid air classifier, which solves the problem that existing air classifiers are not convenient for adjusting the discharge rate of the air-classified material, easily leading to a large amount of material falling during air classification and reducing air classification efficiency.

[0007] The purpose and effectiveness of this hybrid air separator are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0008] A hybrid air separator, comprising:

[0009] The funnel and a dispensing mechanism located at the bottom of the funnel, the dispensing mechanism being able to convey material downwards in portions;

[0010] The bottom of the material distribution mechanism is provided with a cylinder, which has multiple side outlets and side inlets. The side outlets and side inlets are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the side outlets are located on the opposite side of the side inlets.

[0011] A fan is installed at the side inlet, and a light material collection mechanism is installed at the side outlet. The light material collection mechanism includes a material pipe with one end connected to the side outlet and a material receiving bucket installed at the other end of the material pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the material distribution mechanism includes a housing, a motor fixedly connected to the outside of the housing, and a disc rotatably connected to the inside of the housing. The motor is connected to the disc in a transmission manner. The outer periphery of the disc is provided with multiple grooves. The housing is provided with an upper opening and a lower opening. The upper opening communicates with the bottom of the funnel, and the lower opening communicates with the upper part of the cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a cutting head is provided at the edge of the groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the lightweight material collection mechanism also includes insertion parts disposed on both sides of the receiving hopper, and the bottom sides of the material tube are provided with slots that cooperate with the insertion parts, and the insertion parts can be inserted into the slots.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper part of the feed pipe is connected to an upwardly extending, vertically penetrating air pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, a receiving tray is provided at the bottom of the cylinder.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This invention uses a material distribution mechanism to divide materials into multiple portions for air separation. The materials have ample space to disperse as they fall, making it easier to separate materials of different sizes. In use, the motor drives the disc to rotate, and the material falls from the upper opening of the funnel into the groove. As the disc rotates, the material falls from the lower opening into the cylinder. At the same time, the fan at the side inlet blows air towards the side outlet, causing fine particles in the material to be blown towards the side outlet and fall into the receiving bucket, while larger materials fall into the receiving tray.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a hybrid air classifier, comprising:

[0028] The funnel 11 and the material distribution mechanism 12 disposed at the bottom of the funnel 11, the material distribution mechanism 12 can convey the material downward in portions;

[0029] The bottom of the material distribution mechanism 12 is provided with a cylinder 13, which has multiple side outlets 130 and side inlets 131. The side outlets 130 and side inlets 131 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the side outlets 130 are located on the opposite side of the side inlets 131.

[0030] Fan 15 is installed at side inlet 131 and light material collection mechanism 14 is installed at side outlet 130. Light material collection mechanism 14 includes a material pipe 141 with one end connected to side outlet 130 and a material receiving bucket 142 installed at the other end of material pipe 141.

[0031] This utility model, by setting up a material distribution mechanism 12, divides the material into multiple portions for air separation. When the material falls, there is sufficient space for it to spread out, making it easier to separate materials of different sizes.

[0032] The material dispensing mechanism 12 includes a housing 121, a motor 122 fixedly connected to the outside of the housing 121, and a disc 123 rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 121. The motor 122 is connected to the disc 123 in a transmission connection. The outer periphery of the disc 123 is provided with a plurality of grooves 1231. The housing 121 is provided with an upper opening 1211 and a lower opening 1212. The upper opening 1211 is connected to the bottom of the funnel 11, and the lower opening 1212 is connected to the upper part of the cylinder 13.

[0033] During use, the motor 122 drives the disc 123 to rotate, and the material falls from the upper opening 1211 of the funnel 11 into the groove 1231. As the disc 123 rotates, the material falls from the lower opening 1212 into the cylinder 13. At the same time, the fan 15 of the side inlet 131 blows air to the side outlet 130, so that the fine particles in the material will be blown to the side outlet 130 and fall into the receiving bucket 142, while the larger materials fall into the receiving tray 16.

[0034] The lightweight material collection mechanism 14 also includes insertion parts 143 provided on both sides of the receiving hopper 142, and slots 144 provided on both sides of the bottom of the material tube 141 to cooperate with the insertion parts 143, so that the insertion parts 143 can be inserted into the slots 144.

[0035] The fitting arrangement of the insertion part 143 and the slot part 144 facilitates the easy insertion and removal of the receiving bucket 142.

[0036] The upper part of the feed pipe 141 is connected to an upward-extending, through-flow air pipe 145. An L-shaped baffle 17 is installed at the bottom of the air pipe 145.

[0037] The air pipe 145 is designed to allow fine materials to fall into the receiving hopper 142. The L-shaped baffle 17, located near the bottom of the air pipe 145, forms a return flow chamber, increasing the airflow distance and thus reserving space for materials to fall into the receiving hopper 142. The fan speed 15 needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions. The opening of the L-shaped baffle 17 is located on the side away from the side outlet 130.

[0038] A receiving tray 16 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 13. The receiving tray 16 is designed to catch large particles of material and process them centrally.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] The remaining features are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that a cutting head 1232 is provided on the edge of the groove 1231.

[0041] Specifically, in actual use, the cutting head 1232 should be positioned on the edge of the groove 1231 opposite to the rotation direction of the disc 123, so that it can cut materials during rotation. This makes the material discharge smoother.

[0042] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
