Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lid sorting machine technology, specifically referring to a centrifugal lid sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of edible fungi production, the caps of mushroom culture bottles (which usually have a specific front and back structure, with the front often being stepped) need to be efficiently and systematically sorted before and after cleaning, sterilization, or filling.

[0003] Existing automated cover-scraping equipment, such as vibratory disc cover-scraping machines, requires adjustment of parameters such as spring plate angle and electromagnet gap during installation; otherwise, problems such as poor material conveying and excessive noise may occur, requiring a high level of technical expertise from operators. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing automated cover-scraping equipment, such as vibratory disc cover-scraping machines, requires adjustment of parameters such as spring plate angle and electromagnet gap during installation; otherwise, problems such as poor material conveying and excessive noise may occur, placing high demands on the operator's technical skills.

[0005] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A centrifugal cap sorting machine includes a base, an inner plate, and an outer plate frame. The base is provided with an adjustment structure, and the inner plate is rotatably mounted on the adjustment structure. The inner plate is conical and inclined. The outer plate frame is rotatably mounted on the base and is rotatably mounted outside the inner plate. A baffle frame is fixedly installed on the top wall of the base and is located outside the outer plate frame. The top and bottom walls of the outer plate frame are provided with inwardly extending rings. The top of the inner plate is close to the rings. The baffle frame is provided with a discharge port tangent to its outer wall.

[0006] Preferably, the base is a hollow shell with an opening on the top wall. A bushing is fixed to the top of the opening. The bottom of the outer frame is rotatably mounted on the bushing via a rotary bearing. The bottom of the outer frame is fixed to the top wall of the outer ring of the rotary bearing. A gear ring is fixedly fitted on the outer ring of the rotary bearing. A drive motor is provided on the inner top wall of the base. The output end of the drive motor rotates through the base and extends out. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a gear that meshes with the gear ring.

[0007] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes a support plate and an adjustment rod. A hinge seat is provided on the inner bottom wall of the base near the opening. The bottom of the inner disk is rotatably mounted on the support plate. One side of the support plate is hinged to the top of the bushing. The other end of the support plate is hinged to the top of the adjustment rod. The bottom end of the adjustment rod passes through the bushing and the opening and is hinged to the hinge seat. A second drive motor is provided on the bottom wall of the support plate. The output end of the second drive motor rotatably passes through the support plate and is connected to the inner disk.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the discharge port is on the same horizontal plane as the ring, and the inner side wall of the baffle frame is provided with a tension spring along the extension direction of the discharge port.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the baffle frame is provided with a V-shaped screening plate, which is located above the ring.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle frame is further provided with a single-layer guide plate with an arc-shaped structure.

[0011] Preferably, the top wall of the baffle frame is provided with a fixing column, and a hopper is provided on the fixing column, with the bottom end of the hopper located above the inner plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above-described structure are as follows:

[0013] 1. This design completely abandons the electromagnet-armature high-frequency attraction and impact mechanism (the main noise source of the vibratory feeder, 70-90dB) that the vibratory feeder relies on. Instead, it is driven by a smoothly rotating motor. The outer frame is supported by a slewing bearing (slewing bearing) and driven by gear-ring meshing. This large-diameter, rigidly supported rotation method is extremely stable and has little vibration.

[0014] 2. Unlike vibratory feeders, which require coordinating and adjusting multiple complex and interdependent parameters such as spring plate angle, electromagnet gap, voltage / frequency, the core operation control of this equipment relies solely on the speed of two motors. Operators only need to adjust the speed to control the processing efficiency, without requiring extensive experience or repeated trial and error.

[0015] 3. The adjustment process is completely physical and visual. The operator only needs to stop the machine, remove the old adjustment rod, and install the new adjustment rod of the selected length to complete the tilt angle adjustment. There is no need to measure complex angles or adjust multiple parts. It is simple, reliable, and requires low operator skills. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1-7As shown, the present invention proposes a centrifugal cap sorting machine, comprising a base 1, an inner plate 2, and an outer plate frame 3. The base 1 is provided with an adjustment structure 4, and the inner plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the adjustment structure 4. The inner plate 2 is conical and inclined. The outer plate frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 1 and rotatably mounted outside the inner plate 2. A baffle 5 is fixedly installed on the top wall of the base 1 and located outside the outer plate frame 3. A fixing column 21 is provided on the top wall of the baffle 5, and a hopper 22 is provided on the fixing column 21. The bottom end of the hopper 22 is located above the inner plate 2. The top and bottom walls of the outer plate frame 3 are provided with inwardly extending rings 6. The top of the inner plate 2 is close to the rings 6. The baffle 5 is provided with a discharge port 7 tangent to its outer wall. Mushroom bottle caps 23 are put into the inner plate 2. The inner plate 2 rotates to screw the mushroom bottle caps 23 onto the rings 6, while the outer plate rotates to screw the bottle caps 23 from the rings 6 out of the discharge port 7.

[0027] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the base 1 is a hollow shell with an opening 8 on its top wall. A bushing 9 is fixed to the top of the opening 8. The bottom of the outer frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the bushing 9 via a rotary bearing 10. The bottom of the outer frame 3 is fixed to the top wall of the outer ring of the rotary bearing 10. A gear ring 11 is fixedly fitted on the outer ring of the rotary bearing 10. A drive motor 12 is provided on the inner top wall of the base 1. The output end of the drive motor 12 rotates through the base 1 and extends out. The output end of the drive motor 12 is connected to a gear 13 that meshes with the gear ring 11. When the drive motor 12 is started, the gear 13 drives the gear ring 11 to rotate, and the gear ring 11 drives the outer frame 3 on the rotary bearing 10 to rotate.

[0028] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the adjustment structure 4 includes a support plate 14 and an adjustment rod 15. The inner bottom wall of the base 1 is provided with a hinge seat 16 near the opening 8. The bottom of the inner plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 14. One side of the support plate 14 is hinged to the top of the bushing 9, and the other end of the support plate 14 is hinged to the top of the adjustment rod 15. The bottom end of the adjustment rod 15 passes through the bushing 9 and the opening 8 and is hinged to the hinge seat 16. The bottom wall of the support plate 14 is provided with a second drive motor 17. The output end of the second drive motor 17 rotates through the support plate 14 and is connected to the inner plate 2. When the second drive motor 17 is started, the inner plate 2 is driven to rotate on the outer plate frame 3, and the inner cap 23 is screwed into the ring 6. By disassembling and replacing the adjustment rod 15 of different lengths, the tilt angle of the support plate 14 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the inner plate 2.

[0029] like Figure 1 and 5As shown, the bottom of the discharge port 7 is on the same horizontal plane as the ring 6. The inner side wall of the baffle frame 5 is provided with a tension spring 18 extending along the discharge port 7. The culture bottle cap 23 near the discharge port 7 can be guided into the discharge port 7 and discharged through the tension spring 18.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the baffle frame 5 is provided with a V-shaped screening plate 19. The screening plate 19 is located above the ring 6. The front of the bottle cap 23 of the fungal culture bottle is mostly stepped. Therefore, if the bottle cap 23 lands on the ring 6 with its front side facing up and rotates to the screening plate 19 with the outer plate frame 3, the stepped recess of the bottle cap 23 will avoid the screening plate 19 and move towards the discharge port 7. When the bottle cap 23 lands on the ring 6 with its back side facing up, since the groove of the bottle cap 23 no longer corresponds to the screening plate 19, the bottle cap 23 is pushed outward when passing the screening plate 19. Its center of gravity shifts on the ring 6 and it falls back from the ring 6 into the inner plate 2 for screening.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the baffle frame 5 is also provided with a single-layer guide plate 20 with an arc structure. The height of the single-layer guide plate 20 is higher than the height of a culture bottle cap 23. Therefore, when two culture bottle caps 23 stacked together rotate and approach each other with the ring 6 of the outer frame 3, except for the cap 23 close to the ring 6, the other caps 23 are pushed off by the single-layer guide plate 20.

[0032] In practical use, the caps 23 of the mushroom culture bottles to be processed are poured into the hopper 22 fixed on the top wall fixing column 21 of the baffle frame 5, and the caps 23 fall from the bottom of the hopper 22 into the inner plate 2.

[0033] Start the drive motor 17 to drive the inner disk 2 to rotate relative to the tray 14. Under the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inclined inner disk 2, the bottle cap 23 is thrown outward and moves along the inclined surface of the inner disk 2. Since the top of the inner disk 2 is close to the ring 6 of the outer disk frame 3, the rotating bottle cap 23 is thrown by the centrifugal force and transferred to the ring 6 of the outer disk frame 3.

[0034] At the same time, the drive motor 12 is started, and the gear 13 at its output end drives the gear ring 11 fixed on the outer ring of the swivel bearing 10 to rotate, thereby driving the entire outer disk frame 3 to rotate around the bushing 9, and the bottle cap 23 falling on the ring 6 rotates together with the outer disk frame 3.

[0035] When the bottle cap 23 rotates with the ring 6 and passes the V-shaped screening plate 19 on the side wall of the baffle frame 5, if the bottle cap 23 is facing upwards (stepped surface facing upwards), its stepped recess will avoid the screening plate 19, and the bottle cap 23 will continue to move along the ring 6 towards the discharge port 7. If the bottle cap 23 is facing downwards (flat surface facing upwards), because there is no groove to avoid it, it will be pushed outwards by the screening plate 19, causing it to lose its center of gravity on the ring 6 and fall back into the inner plate 2 below, waiting to be screened again.

[0036] When the bottle cap 23 (regardless of orientation) rotates with the ring 6 and passes through the single-layer guide plate 20, if there is only one bottle cap 23 on the ring 6, its height is lower than the guide plate, and it can pass smoothly. If there are stacked bottle caps 23, the top bottle cap 23 will be blocked by the single-layer guide plate 20 and pushed back into the inner plate 2, allowing only the bottom single-layer bottle cap 23 to pass.

[0037] By screening and keeping the single-layer, face-up bottle caps 23, they continue to rotate with the ring 6 to the discharge port 7 area. The tension spring 18, which is set on the inner side wall of the baffle frame 5 along the direction of the discharge port 7, will gently guide the bottle caps 23 and pull them into the discharge port 7, and finally discharge them smoothly from the machine.

[0038] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
