COLOR SORTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/175870
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a color sorter that easily carries out flow rate adjustments for raw materials in a slip flow on a shoot for an optical sorting unit and, when the raw material is supplied from a huller at a rate greater than the maximum throughput, automatically restricts the amount input to an input hopper and can prevent damage and burn out of a delivery system motor.
An input hopper (6) for receiving the raw material is formed from: a left and right pair of side walls; an elevator unit housing (7) side front wall (6b); a back wall (6c) facing the front wall (6b); an inclined shelf plate (6d) extending at an incline from the lower part of the front wall (6b); and an inclined shelf plate (6e) positioned lower than the inclined shelf plate (6d) and provided so as to extend at an incline towards a supply opening (7a) of the elevator unit housing (7) from the lower part of the back wall (6c). In addition, a flow rate adjusting valve (12) that adjusts the amount of raw material received is provided on the lower part of the inclined shelf plate (6e), and a temporary retaining tank (21) and the flow rate adjusting valve (12) are connected so as to restrict the received flow of raw material when the temporary retaining tank (21) moves downward.
