Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of color sorter technology, and more specifically, to a material guiding device for a color sorter. Background Technology

[0002] A color sorter is a device that automatically separates discolored particles from granular materials based on differences in their optical properties using photoelectric detection technology. Photoelectric color sorters are non-destructive sorting equipment used for quality inspection and grading of bulk materials, and are widely used in industries such as grain, food, pigments, and chemicals. In recent years, with people's pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, more and more people are choosing to consume foods made from whole grains, requiring the use of color sorters to select high-quality grains.

[0003] A search revealed that the publication (announcement) number CN215823693U discloses "a material guiding device for a grain color sorter, including a box body... The hot air blown by the hot fan in this utility model can remove the moisture carried by the grain itself, avoiding the situation where the grain has too high a moisture content and becomes moldy. Through the repeated vibration of the filter frame inside the box body, grains smaller than the aperture of the filter frame can be collected inside the collection frame, which is convenient for obtaining high-quality grains, improving the working efficiency of the material guiding device, and meeting the needs of the staff." However, this application requires opening the box door first, then taking out the collection frame located inside the box body, and then putting the collection frame back into the box body when taking out the grain material inside the collection frame. This method requires manual intervention, which not only increases the labor intensity but also reduces the work efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a material guiding device for a color sorter. Utility Model Content

[0005] One objective of this application is to provide a material guiding device for a color sorter, comprising a device body, a support rod fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the device body, rectangular holes formed on the lower sides of both the left and right end faces of the device body, symmetrically formed sliding grooves on the lower inner wall of the device body, the two ends of the sliding grooves respectively communicating with the two rectangular holes, frame plates slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves, sliding plates slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the device body, a limit plate fixedly connected to the left end face of the sliding plate and the frame plate, a rectangular groove formed on the surface of the sliding plate, a connecting column provided inside the rectangular groove, two fixed plates symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the device body, shafts rotatably connected to the two fixed plates, a motor for driving the shafts to rotate fixedly connected to the device body, and rotating rods provided on both the front and rear sides of the device body, and both rotating rods being fixedly connected to the shafts.

[0006] Furthermore, there are four support rods and four limiting plates, and the four support rods and four limiting plates are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0007] Furthermore, limit rods are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the device body, and limit grooves adapted to the limit rods are opened on the opposite sides of the two sliding plates. The sliding plates are slidably sleeved on the outside of the limit rods through the limit grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting rod is configured in a "T" shape, and the end of the rotating rod away from the shaft is fixedly connected to the connecting column.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top of the device body, and the end of the fixing frame away from the device body is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the motor.

[0010] Furthermore, an insertion hole is provided on the fixing plate near the back side of the device body, a positioning groove is provided on the outer side of the shaft, a positioning pin is inserted into the insertion hole, and the bottom end of the positioning pin extends into the interior of the positioning groove.

[0011] Furthermore, bearings are installed on opposite sides of both fixing plates, and the two ends of the shaft are rotatably mounted on the fixing plates via the bearings. The fixing plates have circular holes, and the two ends of the shaft are rotatably inserted into the inside of the circular holes.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this application are: The control motor rotates clockwise, driving the shaft to rotate. The shaft rotation causes the rotating rod and connecting column to rotate around the center of the shaft. Since the connecting column is inserted into the rectangular slot, the rotation of the connecting column, in conjunction with the rectangular slot, allows the sliding plates to move to the left. The leftward movement of the two sliding plates causes the limiting plate and frame plate to move to the left. The leftward movement of the frame plate pushes out the material located on the bottom wall of the device body and discharges it through the rectangular hole into the receiving container. This eliminates the need for manual material handling, achieving automated material discharge, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This application discloses a feeding device for a color sorter, including a device body 1. The device body 1 is prior art. It utilizes a hot air blown by a fan to remove moisture from the grains, preventing mold growth due to excessive moisture content. Furthermore, the filter frame vibrates repeatedly inside the device body 1, collecting grains smaller than the filter frame's aperture inside the frame plate 6, thus obtaining high-quality grains and improving the feeding device's efficiency. The structure and working principle of the device body 1 are based on the feeding device for a grain color sorter disclosed in publication (announcement) number CN215823693U. The placement of the components will not be detailed here. A support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the device body 1. Rectangular holes 18 are opened on the lower sides of both the left and right end faces of the device body 1. Sliding grooves 5 are symmetrically opened on the lower side of the inner wall of the device body 1. The two ends of the sliding grooves 5 are respectively connected to the two rectangular holes 18. Frame plates 6 are slidably connected inside the two sliding grooves 5. Sliding plates 2 are slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the device body 1. Limiting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the left end faces of the sliding plates 2 and the frame plates 6. Rectangular grooves 9 are opened on the surface of the sliding plates 2. Connecting columns 11 are set inside the rectangular grooves 9. The diameter of the connecting columns 11 is adapted to the width of the rectangular grooves 9. Two fixed plates 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the device body 1. A shaft 13 is rotatably connected to each fixed plate 14. A motor 12 for driving the shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the device body 1. Rotating rods 10 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the device body 1. The motor 12 is controlled to rotate clockwise, causing the shaft 13 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 13 causes the rotating rods 10 and the connecting column 11 to rotate around the center of the shaft 13. Since the connecting column 11 is inserted into the rectangular groove 9, its rotation, in conjunction with the rectangular groove 9, allows the sliding plate 2 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the two sliding plates 2 drives the limiting plate. 4 and frame plate 6 move to the left, and the leftward movement of frame plate 6 can push out the material located on the bottom wall of the device body 1 and discharge it through the rectangular hole 18, thereby eliminating the need for manual material handling, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. Both rotating rods 10 are fixedly connected to the shaft 13. One rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the shaft 13, and the other rotating rod 10 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the front end of the shaft 13. The end of the rotating rod 10 away from the shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 11. There are four support rods 8 and four limiting plates 4, and the four support rods 8 and four limiting plates 4 are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Limiting rods 3 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the device body 1. The length of the limiting rods 3 is greater than the width of the sliding plate 2. Each of the two sliding plates 2 has a limiting groove 7 that matches the limiting rod 3 on its opposite side. The sliding plate 2 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 3 through the limiting groove 7. When the sliding plate 2 moves, it slides on the outside of the limiting rod 3 through the limiting groove 7, which improves the stability of the sliding plate 2 when it moves. The limiting rod 3 is set in a "T" shape, thereby limiting and slidingly connecting the sliding plate 2 to the surface of the device body 1.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 A fixing frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the device body 1. The end of the fixing frame 15 away from the device body 1 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the motor 12. The fixing frame 15 is used to fix the motor 12 to the device body 1, thereby realizing the installation and fixing of the motor 12.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A mounting plate 14 near the back of the device body 1 has an insertion hole 17. A positioning groove is provided on the outer side of the shaft 13. A positioning pin 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 17, and the bottom end of the positioning pin 16 extends into the positioning groove. When the frame plate 6 is retracted into the device body 1, the limiting plate 4 limits the frame plate 6. When the limiting plate 4 contacts the left end face of the device body 1, the motor 12 stops working. At this time, the frame plate 6 is retracted into the device body 1, the positioning groove corresponds to the insertion hole 17, and then the positioning pin 16 is inserted into the mounting plate 14. 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 17 and the positioning groove to limit the position of the shaft 13 and further improve stability. Bearings (not shown in the figure) are installed on opposite sides of the two fixing plates 14. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 14, and the outer wall of the shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner ring of the bearing. The two ends of the shaft 13 are rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 14 through the bearings. The fixing plate 14 has a round hole, and the insertion hole 17 is connected to the round hole. The two ends of the shaft 13 are rotatably inserted into the round hole.

[0023] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: the receiving container for collecting materials is placed below the rectangular hole 18 opened at the left end of the device body 1, and the positioning pin 16 is pulled out from the insertion hole 17 and the positioning groove. Then, the control motor 12 rotates clockwise, driving the shaft 13 to rotate. The rotation of the shaft 13 drives the rotating rod 10 and the connecting column 11 to rotate around the center of the shaft 13. Since the connecting column 11 is inserted into the rectangular groove 9, the rotation of the connecting column 11, in conjunction with the rectangular groove 9, allows the sliding plate 2 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the two sliding plates 2 drives the limiting plate 4 and the frame plate 6 to move to the left. The leftward movement of the frame plate 6 can push out the material located on the bottom wall of the device body 1 and discharge it from the rectangular hole 18 into the receiving container, thus eliminating the need for manual material handling, reducing labor intensity, and improving work efficiency. When the sliding plate 2 moves, it slides on the outside of the limiting rod 3 through the limiting groove 7. The limiting rod 3, in conjunction with the limiting groove 7, guides the sliding plate 2, improving the stability of the sliding plate 2 during movement.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and application concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
