[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that if terms such as "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" appear to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0022] The following is combined Figures 1-9 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0023] Example A dried chili sorting and conveying system includes a workbench 1, on which a spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7 and a feeding conveyor belt 8 are provided. The input end of the feeding conveyor belt 8 is located below the output end of the spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7. The workbench 1 is provided with a partitioned dropping device 2 for receiving dried chilies on the feeding conveyor belt 8 and dropping the dried chilies in segments.

[0024] The spiral vibrating conveyor 7 transports the dried chilies in an orderly manner onto the feeding conveyor belt 8, which then transports the dried chilies to the partitioned dropping device 2. The partitioned dropping device 2 can form multiple vertically distributed chambers, allowing the dried chilies to fall sequentially, preventing them from falling directly to the bottom and causing damage. At the same time, the multiple chambers can also temporarily store the dried chilies, ensuring that the conveying efficiency of the sorting and conveying system matches the efficiency of the subsequent packaging conveyor line. This application uses mechanical devices for the sorting and packaging of dried chilies, achieving automated operation, which is beneficial for high-speed production and avoids the time-consuming and labor-intensive manual operation.

[0025] The partitioned dropping device 2 includes a first support 205 and a second support 207 connected to the worktable 1. The second support 207 is located below the first support 205. A protective box 201 is mounted on the first support 205. A Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 is connected to the bottom of the protective box 201. A material feeding component 209 located in the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the protective box 201. A rotary drive component connected to the material feeding component 209 is installed in the protective box 201. A collection bin 206 is mounted on the second support 207. Several vertically arranged receiving and releasing components 208 are arranged between the collection bin 206 and the two discharge ports of the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204. A receiving and releasing component 208 is also arranged below the collection bin 206. The receiving and releasing components 208 are connected to the worktable 1. The rotary drive component is a rotary cylinder or a motor.

[0026] The Y-shaped distribution bin 204 divides the falling channel of dried chilies into two, increasing the number of chambers and allowing for temporary storage of more dried chilies. This ensures that the spiral vibrating conveyor 7 and the feeding conveyor belt 8 do not stop when the packaging conveyor line is temporarily shut down. Furthermore, when the packaging conveyor line is traveling at a high speed, the two falling channels can be used to feed dried chilies separately to adapt to the conveying speed of the packaging conveyor line. The protective box 201 drives the feeding device 209, which guides the falling dried chilies, causing them to fall into one of the channels of the Y-shaped distribution bin 204, thus achieving two-channel conveying of dried chilies.

[0027] The receiving and releasing component 208, located at the bottom of the collection bin 206, serves as the main switch for discharging dried chili peppers. When the dried chili peppers fall from the Y-shaped distribution bin 204 to the first receiving and releasing component 208, the first component opens its channel and releases the dried chili peppers, which then fall into the second receiving and releasing component 208. At this point, the first component closes its channel, and this process repeats until the dried chili peppers are finally dispensed from the receiving and releasing component 208 at the bottom of the collection bin 206 into the packaging box on the packaging conveyor line. The feeding component 209 has guide ramps 211 on both sides to better guide the dried chili peppers.

[0028] The receiving and releasing assembly 208 includes at least two support rods 2081 fixed on the worktable 1. A movable plate 2083 is slidably mounted on each support rod 2081. A telescopic cylinder 2082, fixed on the worktable 1 and extending and retracting along the length of the support rod 2081, is connected to the movable plate 2083. A support plate 2086, located above the movable plate 2083 and in clearance fit with it, is connected to the end of each support rod 2081. A cylinder 2088 extends vertically through the support plate 2086. The telescopic cylinder 2082 drives the movable plate 2083 to move on the support rod 2081, thereby opening or closing the cylinder 2088 and thus receiving or releasing the dried chili peppers.

[0029] The movable plate 2083 has a vertically formed T-slot 2089, in which a T-shaped connector 20810, which is fixedly connected to the telescopic cylinder 2082, is movably engaged. An L-shaped connecting plate 2084 is connected to the end of the support rod 2081. At least two positioning posts 2087 are vertically arranged on the L-shaped connecting plate 2084. The support plate 2086 has insertion holes that mate with the positioning posts 2087, and an L-shaped step 2085 at the bottom of the support plate 2086 that abuts against the L-shaped connecting plate 2084. The T-slot 2089 and the T-shaped connector 20810 allow the movable plate 2083 to be lifted upwards and disengaged from the telescopic cylinder 2082, facilitating disassembly and assembly during cleaning. After the support plate 2086 is inserted into the positioning posts 2087, the L-shaped step 2085 abuts against the L-shaped connecting plate 2084, ensuring stable placement of the support plate 2086 and facilitating disassembly and assembly during cleaning.

[0030] The protective box 201 is hinged to the first bracket 205. The first bracket 205 is provided with an arc-shaped through groove 202. A first connecting rod 210, which is fixedly connected to the protective box 201, is movably disposed in the arc-shaped through groove 202. A first handle 203 for limiting the movement of the first connecting rod 210 is threaded onto the first connecting rod 210. After loosening the first handle 203, the protective box 201 can be flipped open, allowing the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 to be moved away from above the receiving and releasing assembly 208. This facilitates the removal of structures such as the support plate 2086 and the moving plate 2083 from top to bottom, and facilitates the cleaning of the parts of the partitioned falling device 2 that come into contact with the dried chili peppers.

[0031] The upper inner diameter of the cylinder 2088 is larger than the lower inner diameter, ensuring that dried chilies fall accurately into the lower cylinder 2088 when dropped, preventing them from falling out. The bottom of the movable plate 2083 is provided with a limiting groove 20811 to accommodate the support rod 2081. The limiting groove 20811 ensures that the movable plate 2083 does not swing laterally during movement, guaranteeing stability. The second support 207 has a vertically opening slot 214, and the collection bin 206 has insert blocks 215 on both sides that insert downwards into the slot 214. After the collection bin 206 is inserted downwards into the slot 214 via the insert blocks 215, it can be quickly installed onto the second support 207, and it is also easy to disassemble the collection bin 206.

[0032] The bottom of the protective box 201 is provided with at least two second connecting rods 212 for engaging the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204. The second connecting rods 212 are threaded with second handles 213 for pressing the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 firmly against the bottom of the protective box 201. The Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 and the protective box 201 are detachably connected via the second connecting rods 212 and the second handles 213, facilitating the disassembly of the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 for cleaning. Specifically: corresponding slots are provided on the skirt of the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204 to engage with the second connecting rods 212; then, the second handles 213 are tightened, pressing them firmly against the skirt of the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204, thus securing the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204. To disassemble the Y-shaped material distribution bin 204, simply loosen the second handles 213.

[0033] Several length detection sensors 9 are arranged along the length of the feeding conveyor belt 8 above it. These sensors 9 can be laser, ultrasonic, or photoelectric sensors, arranged at certain intervals to simultaneously or sequentially detect the edges or feature points of the target object, thus determining whether the length of the dried chili peppers meets the requirements. Alternatively, vision sensors can be used. Appropriate sensors can be selected based on requirements to detect the dried chili peppers and determine if their length meets the standard. For example, selecting the first three length detection sensors 9 for detection; if all three sensors detect the dried chili peppers, the length is considered to meet the requirements. The conveying speed of the feeding conveyor belt 8 is greater than that of the spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7, ensuring that the dried chili peppers are spaced a certain distance apart on the feeding conveyor belt 8, facilitating detection by the length detection sensors 9.

[0034] The feeding conveyor belt 8 is equipped with blocking elements 15 on both sides. An air-blowing nozzle 11 is installed on one side of the blocking element 15. A return conveyor belt 14 extends above the spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7 and is located on the side of the feeding conveyor belt 8 away from the air-blowing nozzle 11. A guide plate 10 is installed between the return conveyor belt 14 and the feeding conveyor belt 8. When the length of the dried chili peppers is unqualified, the air-blowing nozzle 11 sprays gas to sweep the unqualified dried chili peppers onto the return conveyor belt 14 and collect them in the spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7, preventing unqualified dried chili peppers from entering the packaging conveyor line. The air-blowing nozzle 11 can also blow all the dried chili peppers on the feeding conveyor belt 8 onto the return conveyor belt 14 and collect them in the spiral vibrating conveyor disc 7 when there are dried chili peppers in all the storage chambers of the partitioned falling device 2. This stops the conveying of dried chili peppers without stopping the operation of the feeding conveyor belt 8, ensuring that production needs are met at all times.

[0035] An L-shaped baffle 13 is connected to the frame of the return conveyor belt 14 to prevent dried chili peppers from being blown away from the return conveyor belt 14. The L-shaped baffle 13 can prevent dried chili peppers from being blown away from the return conveyor belt 14.

[0036] A counting sensor 12 is installed above the feeding conveyor belt 8, and the counting sensor 12 is located on the side of the air nozzle 11 away from the length detection sensor 9. The counting sensor 12 counts the conveyed dried chilies, so that multiple dried chilies are grouped together and enter the partitioned dropping device 2 for conveying (for example, two dried chilies are grouped together). After the counting sensor 12 detects that a certain number of dried chilies have passed, it controls the rotary drive component to rotate the feeding piece 209 to perform a feeding operation, guiding the dried chilies into the empty receiving and releasing component 208.

[0037] A hopper 3 is installed on the workbench 1, and a vibrating conveyor plate 4 extending above the spiral vibrating conveyor plate 7 is installed at the bottom outlet of the hopper 3. The hopper 3 can temporarily store dried chili peppers, and the vibrating conveyor plate 4 vibrates and conveys the dried chili peppers stored in the hopper 3, so that the dried chili peppers enter the spiral vibrating conveyor plate 7 in sequence. The vibrating conveyor plate 4 is provided with sieve holes 5. The sieve holes 5 can screen out the chili pepper seeds to prevent them from affecting the quality of the product.

[0038] A material level sensor 6 is installed on the workbench 1 above the spiral vibrating conveyor 7. The material level sensor 6 can monitor the stacking height of dried chili peppers in the spiral vibrating conveyor 7. When the stacking height of dried chili peppers is too high, the vibrating conveyor 4 is controlled to stop working, thus stopping the conveying of dried chili peppers to the spiral vibrating conveyor 7 and preventing too many dried chili peppers from affecting the conveying of the spiral vibrating conveyor 7.

[0039] This application involves some electrical automation control structures and control processes, which are all conventional technologies and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
