Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0017] Example: like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a flexible fruit pulp sorting device includes a main feed trough 1, a primary sorting pool 2, a secondary sorting trough 5, a secondary sorting pool 7, a tertiary sorting trough 9, and a roller sorting bed 10. The device can be made of stainless steel with a smooth surface to facilitate the movement of fruit pulp. The feed trough 1 is connected to the inlet end of the primary sorting pool 2. The outlet end of the primary sorting pool 2 is connected to the inlet end of the secondary sorting pool 7 through three secondary sorting pools 5. The outlet end of the secondary sorting pool 7 is connected to the sorting bed 10 through three tertiary sorting pools 9. A discharge trough 12 is provided below the roller sorting bed 10. The roller sorting bed 10 and the discharge trough 12 can be fixed on an external support frame as needed.

[0018] The main feed trough 1 is a cuboid with a cross-sectional dimension of 30cm × 25cm. Its outlet is funnel-shaped and located at the highest point in the entire equipment, serving as the channel for fruit pulp input. The primary distribution tank 2 is a cuboid with dimensions of 80cm × 60cm × 20cm. The secondary distribution trough 5 has a cross-sectional dimension of 15cm × 15cm. The tertiary distribution trough 9 is a U-shaped guide channel, 10cm wide and 10cm deep. The bottom of the connection between the tertiary distribution trough 9 and the secondary distribution tank 7 is recessed by 1cm. The other end of the tertiary distribution trough 9 extends above the space between the two rollers on the sorting bed 10.

[0019] The sorting bed 10 is a roller sorting bed, including an upper sorting bed 14 and a lower sorting bed 15. The upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 are respectively equipped with fixed vertical plates 18 and rollers. The upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 are connected by the fixed vertical plates 18. During installation, the rollers of the upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 are staggered. The distance between the rollers on the upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 is 20cm, which is convenient to accommodate the rollers of another sorting bed that are staggered.

[0020] The upper sorting bed 14 includes an upper beam 20 and a lower beam 21. The two ends of the roller are connected to the upper beam 20 and the lower beam 21 respectively through self-aligning ball bearings 19. Fixed vertical plates 18 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper beam 20 and the lower beam 21. The lower sorting bed 15 includes an upper plate beam 20 and a lower plate beam 21. The two ends of the roller are connected to the upper plate beam 20 and the lower plate beam 21 respectively through bearings 22. Fixed vertical plates 18 are respectively provided on both sides of the plate beam 20 and the lower plate beam 21.

[0021] The self-aligning ball bearing 19 is composed of a base and a self-aligning ball bearing. The base is used to connect the upper plate beam 20 and the lower plate beam 21, and the self-aligning ball bearing is used to connect the roller shaft. This structure is existing technology. The self-aligning ball bearing part is connected to the roller and can swing slightly left and right with the roller, which is convenient for adjusting the roller spacing of the sorting bed 10.

[0022] An adjusting disc 16 is provided on a fixed vertical plate 18 at one end of the lower beam 21 of the lower sorting bed 15, and a limiting rod 17 is provided on the fixed vertical plate 18 at the other end. The adjusting disc 16 includes a turntable and a threaded rod, with one end of the turntable and the threaded rod connected. The threaded rod passes through the fixed vertical plate 18 of the lower sorting bed 15 and is threadedly connected. The limiting rod 17 is used to fit into the middle hole of the fixed vertical plate 18 on the lower beam 21 of the corresponding upper sorting bed 14 to prevent the upper sorting bed 14 from shifting left or right during operation.

[0023] The fixed vertical plate 18 on the side of the upper sorting bed 14 near the adjusting plate 16 is installed 2cm away from the top of the lower plate beam 21, and the fixed vertical plate 18 is provided with a screw hole for connecting the threaded rod of the adjusting plate 16. The corresponding fixed vertical plate 18 on the lower sorting bed 15 is located outside the fixed vertical plate 18 on the upper sorting bed 14. The fixed vertical plate 18 on the side of the upper sorting bed 14 near the limiting rod 17 is installed 6cm away from the top of the lower plate beam 21, and the fixed vertical plate 18 is provided with a hole for the limiting rod 17 to pass through. The corresponding fixed vertical plate 18 on the lower sorting bed 15 is located outside the fixed vertical plate 18 on the upper sorting bed 14, and the distance between the upper and lower fixed vertical plates is 5cm. This arrangement ensures that when adjusting the roller spacing, the lower plate beam 21 of the upper sorting bed 14 has space to drive the rollers to move.

[0024] A flexible fruit pulp sorting device also includes a water supply assembly, which includes a primary water supply 4 located at the bottom of the main feed trough 1, a secondary water supply 6 located above the secondary distribution trough 5, a tertiary water supply 11 located on each roller, and a quaternary water supply 13 located at the highest point of the discharge trough 12.

[0025] The primary water supply 4 outputs water from the bottom of the main feed trough 1. The primary water supply 4 provides kinetic energy and accelerates the movement speed of the material (the mixture of water and pulp) falling from the main feed trough 1 into the primary distribution tank 2. If the material concentration is high and it is viscous, the primary water supply 4 also plays a role in dilution.

[0026] The outlet of the secondary water supply 6 is located above each secondary distribution trough 5 to provide driving power and accelerate the movement of materials to the secondary distribution pool 7.

[0027] The three-stage water supply 11 is set above each roller, with the same length as the roller. Near the roller, there is a row of water spray holes with a diameter of 1mm. The water sprays onto the roller to lubricate it, prevent the material from sticking, and ensure that the material can flow smoothly downward and fall into the discharge trough 12.

[0028] The fourth-stage water supply 13 sprays water onto the discharge trough 12 to prevent materials from sticking to the discharge trough 12 and to drive the materials to slide out of the discharge trough 12 and into the connected conveying pipe.

[0029] The outlet end of the main feed trough 1 is funnel-shaped and is located above the primary distribution tank 2.

[0030] The primary material distribution tank 2 is equipped with a first diversion column 3 with a diameter of 10cm, which facilitates the diversion of materials to multiple secondary material distribution tanks 5.

[0031] The secondary material distribution tank 7 is equipped with a second diversion column 8 to facilitate the diversion of materials into multiple tertiary material distribution tanks 9.

[0032] The inlet of the secondary material distribution tank 7 is funnel-shaped to facilitate material dispersion, and the outlet of the secondary material distribution tank 7 is rectangular with a rectangular portion of 50cm × 30cm.

[0033] The discharge chute 12 is inclined and positioned below the sorting bed 10 to facilitate material discharge. The discharge chute 12 is U-shaped, and the outlet of the four-stage water supply 13 is located at the highest point of the discharge chute 12. Several discharge chute 12s are arranged in parallel, the specific number depending on the width of the sorting bed 10. One four-stage water supply 13 is located at the highest point of each discharge chute 12. The lowest end of the discharge chute 12 is connected to a conveying pipe for transporting materials to other equipment.

[0034] When fruit pulp accumulates on the sorting bed 10, and the accumulation reaches a certain weight, the uneven force on the rollers will cause them to rotate automatically. The rotating rollers will pull the fruit pulp to the bottom of the rollers, where it will fall into the discharge trough 12 under its own weight and with the lubrication of water. This achieves automatic sorting of fruit pulp by size. The water used can be purified water, which protects the fruit pulp from damage during sorting and provides power for the equipment to operate.

[0035] A method for adjusting the roller spacing of a fruit pulp flexible sorting device, comprising the following steps: S1: When starting work, the two adjacent rollers are in a parallel state with a small gap between them. To adjust the distance between the rollers, rotate the adjusting disc 16. The adjusting disc 16 drives the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod of the adjusting disc 16 is threadedly connected to the fixed vertical plate 18 with a screw hole on the lower sorting bed 15. The fixed vertical plate 18 becomes a force point, pushing the threaded rod to move inward along its axis. The other end of the connecting rod is connected to the fixed vertical plate 18 of the upper sorting bed 14. The movement of the connecting rod inward pushes the fixed vertical plate 18 of the upper sorting bed 14 and the lower beam 21 of the upper sorting bed 14 to move inward. S2: At this time, the upper beam 20 of the upper sorting bed 14 and the self-aligning ball bearing 19 with a seat are fixed. The bearing part of the self-aligning ball bearing 19 can rotate and the axis angle changes with the displacement distance of the roller. The lower beam 21 of the upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 move relative to each other. The end of the roller of the upper sorting bed 14 near the lower beam 21 moves with the lower beam 21. Due to the setting of the slewing bearing shaft 19, one side of the upper beam 20 remains stationary, so that an inclined angle is formed between adjacent rollers. The distance between the rollers near the upper beam 20 is small, and the distance gradually increases towards the lower beam 21. The distance between two adjacent rollers of the upper sorting bed 14 and the lower sorting bed 15 changes. When the material (a mixture of water and pulp) passes through this gap, it will automatically separate the pulp of different sizes and fall into the several discharge troughs 12 set below, achieving the sorting effect. When it is necessary to reset the roller spacing, simply reverse the rotation of the adjusting disk 16.
