Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to an automated insect detection device. Background Technology

[0002] During grain storage and processing, grain is often infested by pests. These pests not only consume the grain, reducing its quantity, but also leave behind excrement and other impurities, seriously affecting grain quality and hygiene. Traditional production methods rely heavily on manual screening to accurately identify the type and size of pests, which is inefficient, labor-intensive, and unsuitable for large-scale grain processing. While some mechanical screening equipment exists, it suffers from poor screening efficiency, complex structure, and inconvenient operation, failing to adequately meet the pest screening requirements of actual production. Therefore, developing an efficient, convenient, and effective automated pest detection device is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated insect detection device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an automated insect detection device, comprising: Box body, screen, vibrating motor, support frame; The box is placed above the support, the screen is installed inside the box, one side of the box has a notch, and one side of the screen extends out of the box through the notch. The side of the screen extending out of the box has a grain outlet; the bottom of the box has a waste outlet for discharging pests. The vibration motor is installed on the outer wall of the housing to vibrate the housing. Main working principle: This automated pest detection device includes a box, a screen, a vibrating motor, and a support. It mainly uses the vibration generated by the vibrating motor to make the grain placed on the screen inside the box move. During the relative movement of the grain and the screen, pests and impurities are separated from the grain due to factors such as particle size and are discharged from the waste outlet and grain outlet respectively, thus achieving the purpose of pest removal.

[0005] The support frame, serving as the fundamental structural support for the entire equipment, provides a stable platform for the housing. It bears the total weight of the housing, screen, and internal grain, ensuring the equipment will not tip over or shift due to its own weight or vibration during operation, guaranteeing stable operation. The housing is the main storage space of the equipment, providing a relatively enclosed environment for the grain screening process. A notch on one side provides a channel for the screen to extend partially out of the housing, facilitating the discharge of screened grain from the housing. A waste outlet at the bottom is used to discharge pests and impurities separated during the screening process. The screen is the key component for pest removal. When grain is placed on the screen, due to the screen's aperture size, pests smaller than the aperture and some larger impurities can pass through smoothly, while grain particles cannot. Under the action of the vibrating motor, the grain continuously jumps and tumbles on the screen, making full contact and friction with the screen, which helps improve the screening effect and more thoroughly separates pests and impurities from the grain. A grain outlet is located on one side of the screen extending outside the housing. Qualified grain that has passed through the screen is discharged from the outlet for collection. The vibrating motor is installed on the outer wall of the housing and is the power source for the equipment's vibration. The frequency and amplitude of the vibration can be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the vibrating motor. Appropriate vibration parameters can maintain good movement of the grain on the screen, improving screening efficiency.

[0006] During operation, the grain to be screened is placed on the screen inside the chamber. At this point, the grain is evenly distributed on the screen surface. The vibration motor is started, and the chamber begins to vibrate, causing the screen to vibrate as well. Under the influence of vibration, the grain undergoes irregular movement on the screen, including jumping and rolling. During this process, collisions and friction occur between grain particles and between the grain and the screen. Because pests and impurities are different in size from the grain, they are more easily separated during vibration. Smaller pests and impurities fall through the screen's openings to the bottom, while the grain particles remain on top. As vibration continues, pests and impurities gradually move towards the bottom of the chamber and are eventually discharged through the waste outlet at the bottom. The qualified grain, after being screened, gradually moves towards the outside of the chamber under vibration and exits from the discharge port, completing the entire pest removal process. Workers can then observe the bottom to determine the size and type of pests.

[0007] Preferably, the screen includes a first screen and a second screen, with the first screen installed above the second screen; The first screen extends to one side of the box body and has a first grain outlet, and the second screen extends to one side of the box body and has a second grain outlet, with the first grain outlet and the second grain outlet being staggered from each other.

[0008] Preferably, the mesh size of the second screen is smaller than that of the first screen.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the box is provided with a first locking step and a second locking step, the first locking step is located above the second locking step, the first screen is installed above the first locking step, and the second screen is installed above the second locking step.

[0010] Preferably, a cover plate is also included, which is fastened to the top of the housing.

[0011] Preferably, the cover plate has a feed inlet on top, and the feed inlet gradually expands outward in an outward direction.

[0012] Preferably, the opening of the box is provided with a buckle, which is used to fasten and connect the cover plate.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the box is inclined downwards, and the waste outlet is located at the end of the inclined part of the box.

[0014] Preferably, the device also includes four damping springs. The outer side of the housing is provided with four first guide posts, and the upper part of the bracket is provided with four second guide posts. The two ends of one damping spring are respectively sleeved around one of the first guide posts and one of the second guide posts, and are pressed tightly against the housing and the bracket.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention uses a vibrating motor to drive the housing to vibrate, which in turn causes the grain on the screen to vibrate at high frequency. This vibration causes the grain particles to jump and tumble on the screen, ensuring full contact and friction with it. Compared to traditional static screening methods, vibrating screening significantly increases the relative frequency and amplitude of the movement between the grain and the screen, allowing pests and impurities to be separated from the grain more quickly and thoroughly, significantly improving screening efficiency and shortening screening time. Furthermore, one side of the screen extends outside the housing through a notch and has a grain outlet. This design allows the grain to flow naturally along the screen during screening and be smoothly discharged from the outlet. Simultaneously, pests and impurities move towards the bottom of the housing under vibration and are discharged through the waste outlet, achieving effective separation of grain from pests and impurities, avoiding secondary mixing, and further improving screening efficiency. This allows workers to more quickly identify the type and size of pests. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, it will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0021] Example 1 This embodiment discloses an automated insect detection device, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes a box 1, a screen 2, a vibrating motor 3, and a support 4. It mainly uses the vibration generated by the vibrating motor 3 to make the grain placed on the screen 2 inside the box 1 move. During the relative movement of the grain and the screen 2, pests and impurities are separated from the grain due to factors such as particle size and are discharged from the waste port 11 and the grain outlet respectively, thus achieving the purpose of pest removal.

[0022] The support frame 4 serves as the basic support structure for the entire equipment, providing a stable platform for the housing 1. It bears the total weight of the housing 1, the screen 2, and the grain inside, ensuring that the equipment will not tip over or shift due to its own weight or vibration during operation, guaranteeing stable operation. The housing 1 is the main storage space of the equipment, providing a relatively enclosed environment for the grain screening process. A notch 10 on one side provides a channel for the extension of the screen 2, allowing it to partially extend outside the housing 1, facilitating the discharge of the screened grain. The waste outlet 11 at the bottom is used to discharge pests and impurities separated during the screening process. The screen 2 is the key component for pest removal. When grain is placed on the screen 2, due to the screen 2's specific aperture size, pests smaller than the aperture and some larger impurities can pass through smoothly, while grain particles cannot. Under the action of the vibrating motor 3, the grain continuously jumps and tumbles on the screen 2, making full contact and friction with the screen 2. This helps to improve the screening effect and separate pests and impurities more thoroughly from the grain. A grain outlet is provided on one side of the screen 2 extending outside the housing 1. Qualified grain that has passed through the screen 2 will be discharged from the outlet for collection. The vibrating motor 3 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1 and is the power source for the vibration of the equipment. The frequency and amplitude of the vibration can be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the vibrating motor 3. Appropriate vibration parameters can maintain good movement of the grain on the screen 2, improving screening efficiency.

[0023] During operation, the grain to be screened is placed on the screen 2 inside the housing 1. At this point, the grain is evenly distributed on the surface of the screen 2. The vibration motor 3 is started, and the housing 1 begins to vibrate, causing the screen 2 to vibrate as well. Under the influence of vibration, the grain undergoes irregular movement on the screen 2, including jumping and rolling. During this process, collisions and friction occur continuously between grain particles and between the grain and the screen 2. Because pests and impurities are different in size from the grain, they are more easily separated from the grain during vibration. Smaller pests and impurities fall through the aperture of the screen 2 to the bottom, while the grain particles remain above the screen 2. As vibration continues, pests and impurities gradually move towards the bottom of the housing 1 and are eventually discharged through the waste outlet 11 at the bottom of the housing 1. The qualified grain, after being screened by the screen 2, gradually moves towards the side outside the housing 1 under the influence of vibration and is discharged from the outlet, completing the entire pest removal process.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, the screen 2 is configured as two layers: a first screen 202 and a second screen 222, with the first screen 202 mounted above the second screen 222. This double-layer structure increases the number of screening layers and the precision. The grain first falls onto the first screen 202, and under vibration, the particles pass through the first screen 202 and the second screen 222 sequentially. Through two vibration screenings, more insect particles can be filtered out, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of screening. The first grain outlet 21 and the second grain outlet 23 are staggered to avoid mutual interference between the first grain outlet 21 and the second grain outlet 23 during the grain discharge process, ensuring smooth and orderly grain discharge.

[0025] In some alternative embodiments, the mesh size of the second screen 222 is smaller than that of the first screen 202. This design enables the grading and screening of grains. The first screen 202 first removes larger grain particles, while the second screen 222 further removes smaller grain particles and insect particles, thereby reducing the waste of grain particles.

[0026] In some optional embodiments, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a first retaining step 12 and a second retaining step 13, with the first retaining step 12 above the second retaining step 13. A first screen 202 is installed above the first retaining step 12, and a second screen 222 is installed above the second retaining step 13. The retaining steps provide stable support and a fixed position for the screen 2, preventing displacement or shaking during vibration, thus ensuring the screening effect of the screen 2 and the normal operation of the equipment. At the same time, this installation method also facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the screen 2.

[0027] In some optional embodiments, the cover plate 5 is fastened to the top of the housing 1, serving to seal the housing 1. During the screening process, the cover plate 5 prevents grain and impurities from splashing out, avoiding pollution to the surrounding environment, and also ensuring the safety of operators. The cover plate 5 also protects the screen 2 and other components inside the housing 1 from external factors such as dust and rainwater, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0028] In some optional embodiments, a feed inlet 50 is provided above the cover plate 5, and the feed inlet 50 gradually expands outward in an outward direction. This design makes feeding more convenient, allowing operators to more easily pour grain into the equipment and reducing the possibility of grain spillage. At the same time, the expanded feed inlet 50 can accommodate different sized feeding tools, such as shovels and funnels, improving the versatility and practicality of the equipment.

[0029] In some optional embodiments, a snap-fit ​​(not shown) is provided at the opening of the housing 1 to fasten the cover 5. This connection method is simple and reliable, and can quickly fix the cover 5 to the housing 1, while also facilitating the opening and closing of the cover 5.

[0030] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom of the box 1 slopes downwards, and the waste outlet 11 is located at the end of the slope of the box 1. This design utilizes gravity to allow pests and impurities that pass through the screen 2 and fall to the bottom of the box 1 to automatically gather at the waste outlet 11. When it is necessary to discharge pests and impurities, simply open the waste outlet 11, and the pests and impurities can be smoothly discharged under the action of gravity, avoiding accumulation at the bottom of the box 1 and improving the efficiency and thoroughness of discharge.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the device is equipped with four damping springs 40, four first guide posts 41 are provided on the outside of the housing 1, and four second guide posts 42 are provided above the support 4. The two ends of one damping spring 40 are respectively fitted around one of the first guide posts 41 and one of the second guide posts 42, and are pressed tightly against the housing 1 and the support 4. When the vibration motor 3 drives the housing 1 to vibrate, the damping spring 40 can buffer and dampen the vibration. It can absorb and disperse the energy generated by the vibration, reduce the transmission of vibration to the support 4 and the surrounding environment, reduce the noise and vibration amplitude of the device, and improve the stability and service life of the device. At the same time, the first guide posts 41 and the second guide posts 42 provide guidance and support for the damping spring 40, ensuring the normal operation of the damping spring 40.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
