The present invention relates to a garlic sorting device, and more particularly, to allow a large amount of garlic to be sorted in a short time.

In general, the device for sorting garlic is to classify it according to the size and weight of the garlic, which can be determined by the size or weight of the garlic, but through this sorting process, the garlic, rotten garlic, Scratched garlic and unpeeled garlic cannot be sorted out, so after the size of the garlic, the human was forced to sort out rotten garlic, unpeeled garlic, and scratched garlic mixed with the garlic of the finished product by hand. Because of this, a lot of manpower is required, a lot of labor cost is required, and because it is sorted by hand, it is not possible to select a large amount of garlic, and of course, it is selected by humans. If it is not found, it is commercialized and distributed. There was a possibility to be.

Accordingly, the present applicant has a hopper to which the garlic peeled in the patent 365511 is input, and the input portion of the transfer conveyor located at the lower end of the hopper; A plurality of seating chambers separated by a partition wall so that the garlic injected through the input part can be seated, a brush that is positioned above the seating chamber to maintain the horizontal state of the garlic while moving up and down, and is located below the seating chamber A conveying unit of a vibrating motor for slowly advancing garlic in a row; The roller conveyor is made up of a plurality of rollers sequentially formed by the partition wall at the same interval as the seating chamber and revolves, and the gears are fastened to both sides of each roller, and the rotation range of the roller conveyor. A rotation drive unit provided with a spur gear that meshes with the gear to rotate the roller; An opening and closing plate which is installed to be driven by a solenoid on the discharge side of the transfer unit and opens and closes according to the rotational speed of the roller sensed by the position sensor provided in the rotation driving unit so that garlic is introduced into the rotation driving unit one by one; A photographing unit having at least three cameras installed at an upper portion of the spur gear to photograph garlic rotating according to the rotation of the roller; A controller for receiving the photographed data and determining a state of each photographed garlic; A three-stage operation lever for each compartment for selectively separating the compartments formed at the lower side of the discharge side of the roller conveyor and the garlic falling through the compartments by receiving a selection command from the controller; Selecting portion consisting of a guide plate for guiding the garlic selectively selected through each; And a discharge unit consisting of four discharge conveyors each carrying rotten garlic, incomplete garlic, scratched garlic, and finished garlic, respectively guided by the guide plates. There is a bar.

However, the garlic sorting device according to this patent No. 365511 is not even transported evenly in a state in which the garlic is spread evenly in the process of conveying the garlic by the hopper and conveyed through a conveying conveyor, some parts of the garlic overlapped and other Since no part of garlic is transferred to the part, even if garlic is settled in the seating room and is transported by the vibration motor, the garlic is concentrated on only one side, which inevitably leads to a decrease in the selection efficiency of the garlic. Garlic may be damaged by the opening and closing plate in the process of putting one by one, and there is a disadvantage in that the conveying speed of garlic decreases and the sorting amount of garlic is greatly reduced. The rising and falling term is too long to spread the garlic properly Since the final garlic picking site is composed of a method of sending the garlic descending in the vertical direction through the operating lever and then sending it to the corresponding discharge line, the rate of garlic falling and the timing of the operating lever If you draw, there was a disadvantage that the screening is not done properly.

It can be used for reproduction of feed or organic fertilizer.

However, in the case of overcharging garlic, since one or more garlics are put on and transported, it is not possible to know for sure what state the garlic is. Therefore, it is preferable to re-inject into the input unit 100 to go through the selection process again. By installing the conveying conveyor 723 between the garlic discharge line 720 and the input unit 100, the overload garlic is discharged and re-injected into the input unit 100, thereby reducing the effort of re-injecting garlic. .

As described above, in the present invention, the garlic is flattened and stabilized at the initial feeding position and at the step of transferring the garlic, so that the garlic can be uniformly distributed and transferred throughout the conveying conveyor or the diaphragm. Even if it is delivered immediately, the probability of overloading two or more garlics in the space between the blocking plate and the blocking plate of the plastic conveyor is reduced, so that the maximum amount of garlic can be maximized without hindering the conveying speed of garlic. There is a very useful effect that can be maximized.
