Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of primary processing technology of poppy shells, and more specifically, to a device for sorting and separating poppy shells. Background Technology

[0002] The natural differences in the growth height of poppy plants and the strict requirement that the pods not be broken during harvesting (otherwise the seeds inside the pods will leak into the ground, causing significant economic losses and safety risks) result in approximately 30% of the poppy pods harvested mechanically having stalks that exceed the standard length (enterprise standard: no more than 2cm). This causes high costs for pharmaceutical poppy processing enterprises and users, and also poses safety risks to patients using the drugs.

[0003] Currently, there is no corresponding equipment to effectively sort and separate poppy pods with and without stalks (less than 2cm). This process is entirely done manually, which leads to a sharp increase in the initial processing cost and safety hazards of poppy pods.

[0004] Therefore, in order to effectively solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a device that can efficiently and mechanically sort poppy pods with and without stalks (less than 2cm) to separate the poppy pods, thereby completely replacing manual labor, greatly improving the processing efficiency of subsequent processes and eliminating related risks. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this utility model proposes a device for sorting and separating poppy pods. It is a fully mechanized device for sorting and separating poppy pods, which sorts and separates them according to the length of the straw carried in the mechanically harvested poppy pods (company standard: less than 2cm). It can efficiently replace the previous manual sorting and separation work, improve work efficiency and product quality, and provide technical support for the sustainable and high-quality development of my country's poppy industry.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for sorting and separating poppy pods includes a frame body, a vibrating directional feeder, a rough toothed sorting and separating mechanism, and a frame drive mechanism.

[0008] The vibrating directional feeder installed above the main frame organizes poppy shells carrying straws of different lengths into a longitudinal arrangement under high-frequency vibration, and sends the poppy shells into the rough toothed sorting and separating mechanism installed at the rear of the main frame.

[0009] The rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism includes a sawtooth grid and a sorting conveyor belt. The sawtooth grid is composed of several integrally sawtooth-shaped grid plates, which are installed on the upper surface of the sorting conveyor belt, and evenly divide the wide surface of the sorting conveyor belt into several longitudinal parallel tracks. The upper surface of the sorting conveyor belt is a rough surface with concave and convex shapes. The sorting conveyor belt is tensioned by the driving roller and the driven roller on the bottom belt mounting seat. The front end of the bottom belt mounting seat is installed on the frame body. The bottom belt mounting seat and the rear end of the sorting conveyor belt on it gradually tilt upward. A discharge port with poppy shells and straw is installed on the bottom belt mounting seat below the rear discharge side of the sorting conveyor belt, and a discharge port without poppy shells and straw is installed on the frame body below the front discharge side of the sorting conveyor belt.

[0010] The frame drive mechanism includes a drive motor mounted on the frame body. The drive motor drives the active roller to rotate via a transmission belt and drives the picking conveyor belt to gradually tilt upward from front to back. The drive motor is a frequency-modulated motor, which provides an adjustable operating speed for the picking conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the vibrating directional feeder includes a vibrating trough, vibrating springs, and a vibrating motor. The inner surface of the vibrating trough is a corrugated trough surface capable of longitudinally conveying poppy shells. The bottom surface of the vibrating trough is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body through several vibrating springs. The vibrating motor is installed at the bottom of the vibrating trough and can drive the corrugated trough surface to vibrate.

[0012] Preferably, the vibration motor is a frequency-modulated vibration motor, which provides an adjustable vibration frequency and amplitude for the corrugated groove surface.

[0013] Preferably, the longitudinal parallel tracks separated by the grid plate correspond one-to-one with the longitudinal conveying grooves on the inner surface of the vibration groove.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the serrated unit on the grating plate is 2-3 cm, and the width of the longitudinal parallel track separated by two adjacent grating plates is determined according to the size of the poppy shell.

[0015] Preferably, the serrations on the grating plate are triangular and evenly distributed.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom front side of the bottom belt mounting base is rotatably connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body, and the bottom rear side of the bottom belt mounting base is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body through an inclination adjustment mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the inclination adjustment mechanism is an adjustable rod with an adjustable length. The bottom end of the adjustable rod is rotatably connected to the main frame body, and the top end of the adjustable rod is rotatably connected to the bottom belt mounting seat.

[0018] Preferably, there are two tilt adjustment mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides between the frame body and the bottom belt mounting seat.

[0019] This invention relates to a device for sorting and separating poppy shells, mainly comprising a frame body, a vibrating directional feeder, a rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism, and a frame drive mechanism. The vibrating directional feeder feeds poppy shells of varying straw lengths into the inclined (adjustable) and high-speed backward-moving rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism. Poppy shells with straw (greater than 2cm) experience greater friction from the rough surface and are pulled along by the toothed track as the mechanism moves backward and enters the next process. Poppy shells without straw roll downward under gravity within the mechanism, thus achieving efficient sorting and separation.

[0020] This utility model discloses a device for sorting and separating poppy pods, which can efficiently replace traditional manual sorting. It not only greatly reduces the initial processing cost for planting enterprises, but also saves downstream medicinal poppy slice processing enterprises and users the straw sorting process, and effectively eliminates potential risks for safe medication use by end patients.

[0030] Example:

[0031] See Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a device for picking and separating poppy shells, which can completely replace manual labor and achieve the purpose of improving quality and efficiency. It mainly includes a frame body 10, a vibrating directional feeder 20, a rough toothed picking and separating mechanism 30, and a frame drive mechanism 40.

[0032] The frame body 10 serves as the support base for the equipment. The vibrating directional feeder 20, installed above the frame body 10, arranges poppy shells carrying different lengths of straw into a longitudinal arrangement under high-frequency vibration, and feeds the poppy shells carrying different lengths of straw into the rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30 installed at the rear of the frame body 10.

[0033] More specifically, the vibrating directional feeder 20 includes a vibrating groove 21, vibrating springs 22, and a vibrating motor 23. The inner surface of the vibrating groove 21 is a corrugated groove surface 211 that can longitudinally convey poppy shells. The bottom surface of the vibrating groove 21 is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body 10 by a number of vibrating springs 22 (four vibrating springs 22 in this embodiment). The vibrating motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the vibrating groove 21 and can drive the corrugated groove surface 211 to vibrate.

[0034] In this embodiment, two vibration motors 23 are installed side by side on the bottom surface of the vibration groove 21 to ensure the overall vibration transmission effect of the vibration groove 21.

[0035] Furthermore, the vibration motor 23 is a frequency-modulated vibration motor, which provides adjustable vibration frequency and vibration amplitude for the corrugated groove surface 211.

[0036] In actual operation, after the vibration motor 23 is started, the corrugated groove surface 211 begins to vibrate with the vibration groove 21, and in conjunction with the vibration spring 22, it presents a wave-like vibration in the front-back and up-down directions. Poppy shells carrying different lengths of straw will move from the front end to the rear end of the vibration groove under the action of this vibration force and gradually arrange themselves longitudinally (the vibration frequency and amplitude can be adjusted by the power supply frequency of the vibration motor 23). Finally, after the poppy shells carrying different lengths of straw reach the rear end of the vibration groove 21, they fall to the bottom of the rough toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30, and are separated by the speed difference caused by the friction force on the poppy shells of different shapes (whether or not they have straw).

[0037] The rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30 in this embodiment includes a sawtooth grid and a sorting conveyor belt 31. The sawtooth grid is composed of several grating plates 32 that are integrally sawtooth-shaped. Several grating plates 32 are installed on the upper surface of the sorting conveyor belt 31 and uniformly divide the wide surface of the sorting conveyor belt 31 into several longitudinal parallel tracks 33. The upper surface of the sorting conveyor belt 31 is a rough surface with concave and convex shapes to increase friction and clamping capacity. The sorting conveyor belt 31 is tensioned by the driving roller 34 and the driven roller 35 on the bottom belt mounting seat 36. The front end of the bottom belt mounting seat 36 is installed on the frame body 10. The bottom belt mounting seat 36 and the rear end of the sorting conveyor belt 31 on it gradually tilt upward. A poppy shell and straw discharge port 50 is installed on the bottom belt mounting seat 36 below the rear end of the sorting conveyor belt discharge side. A poppy shell and straw discharge port 60 is installed on the frame body 10 below the front end of the sorting conveyor belt discharge side.

[0038] More specifically, the longitudinal parallel tracks 33 separated by the grating plate 32 correspond one-to-one with the longitudinal conveying channels on the inner surface of the vibration channel.

[0039] Meanwhile, the height of the serrated unit on the grid plate 32 is 2 to 3 cm, and the width of the longitudinal parallel track 33 separated by two adjacent grid plates 32 is determined according to the size of the poppy shell, generally around 7 cm.

[0040] The serrations on the grating plate 32 are triangular and evenly distributed. Actual verification shows that the triangular serrations can effectively transport poppy shells carrying straw upwards and allow them to fall smoothly into the poppy shell discharge port 50 containing straw.

[0041] The frame drive mechanism 40 includes a drive motor 41 mounted on the frame body 10. The drive motor 41 drives the active roller 34 in the rough toothed picking and separating mechanism 30 to rotate through the transmission belt 42, and drives the picking transport belt 31 to gradually tilt upward from front to back.

[0042] In this embodiment, the drive motor 41 is a frequency-modulated drive motor, which provides an adjustable operating speed for the picking conveyor belt 31.

[0043] In a further specific embodiment, the front bottom of the bottom belt mounting seat 36 is rotatably connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body 10, and the rear bottom of the bottom belt mounting seat 36 is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body 10 through an inclination adjustment mechanism 37.

[0044] More specifically, the inclination adjustment mechanism 37 is an adjustable rod with adjustable length (such as by using a nut or a cylinder). The bottom end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the frame body 10, and the top end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom belt mounting seat 36.

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to ensure stable adjustment of the inclination of the bottom belt mounting seat 36 and the picking conveyor belt 31 on it, two inclination adjustment mechanisms 37 are provided, and they are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides between the frame body 10 and the bottom belt mounting seat 36.

[0046] This invention achieves fully mechanized sorting and separation of poppy shells with and without stalks (less than 2cm) on the rough-surface toothed sorting and separation mechanism 30 by reasonably adjusting the frequency of the drive motor 41 and the installation inclination of the sorting conveyor belt 31.

[0047] In practice, the vibrating directional feeder 20 directs poppy shells carrying different lengths of straw to the inclined, high-speed (frequency adjustable by the drive motor 41) rough-surface toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30. Based on the speed difference formed by the friction force of the uneven surface on the sorting conveyor belt 31 and the clamping force of the saw teeth on the grid, the poppy shells carrying straw are transported upward to the top and fall to the poppy shell discharge port 50 with straw to enter the straw cutting process. Poppy shells without straw, being round, will quickly roll down and enter the crushing process through the poppy shell discharge port 60 without straw. Thus, the poppy shells are efficiently sorted and separated according to the length of the straw they carry (mainly by adjusting the inclination angle and rotation speed to create speed differences in the movement of shells with different shapes).

[0048] This invention scientifically and rationally arranges and fixes the mechanical parts, such as the vibratory directional feeder 20, the rough toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30, and the drive motor 41, on the main frame 10 in a front-to-back, high-to-low, and certain tilt angle manner. By adjusting the frequency of the vibratory motor 23 and the drive motor 41 and adjusting the length of the adjusting rod, the vibratory directional feeder 20 and the rough toothed sorting and separating mechanism 30 are powered and controlled. Ultimately, it efficiently replaces the traditional manual sorting, which not only greatly reduces the initial processing cost of planting enterprises, but also saves downstream medicinal poppy slice processing enterprises and user enterprises the straw sorting process, and effectively eliminates the hidden dangers for the safe use of medicines by end patients.

Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably.
