The present invention relates to the industries of milling and particulate or granular grain products, and a screening or sieving apparatus or device, and relates in particular to a sieve frame and a sieving device including the same.
A plansifter, especially a large plansifter or a square plansifter, is a huge square structure having a plurality of large surface elements, and is a special separation apparatus. This apparatus is exclusively used in milling processing for sieving coarsely ground grains, semolina, and powder products, and for sorting various types of grain, such as wheat, rye, corn, barley, etc.
Chinese patent document CN 1079678 A discloses an apparatus for a plansifter. The apparatus includes a plansifter sieve, and the plansifter sieve has a sieve box having a base plate and a fine-product discharge, an insert sieve frame, and a freely movable cleaning member. The sieve frame is provided with a covering on only one side, and preferably has partitioning strips in at least one direction so as to divide the sieve and the base plate into a corresponding number of cleaning zones. In addition, one or more cleaning members placed on the base plate can be inserted into one or more cleaning zones.
With the development of production, requirements on both the yield and the size of screening or sieving devices are becoming higher and higher. The devices need to provide a high yield and have a compact structure and a small footprint. Currently in the industry, most plansifters for flour products no longer meet production requirements, and therefore it is necessary to develop a novel sieve frame.
The objective of the present invention is to improve sieve frames in the prior art, and to provide a novel sieve frame and a sieving device comprising the same. The sieve frame exhibits high material discharging speed and provides a high yield. In addition, the sieving device has a reduced size and a reduced footprint, thereby saving space.
The present invention provides a sieve frame. The sieve frame comprises: a sieving component arranged in a horizontal direction; a support component arranged below the sieving component, spaced apart from the sieving component, and disposed parallel to the sieving component, the support component comprising a plurality of openings; a cleaning component arranged between the sieving component and the support component, supported by the support component, and used to clean the sieving component; and a bottom plate arranged below the support component, the bottom plate comprising an inclined surface inclining relative to the horizontal direction and a material discharging port arranged on a side edge of the bottom plate, and the inclined surface extending to the material discharging port.
In some alternative forms, the bottom plate comprises two material discharging ports and two inclined surfaces. Each inclined surface inclines towards one side from a middle position on the bottom plate, and extends to a corresponding material discharging port.
In some alternative forms, the cleaning component comprises a plurality of protrusions, and the protrusions are in contact with the sieving component so as to clean the sieving component.
In some alternative forms, the cleaning component comprises a plurality of arm portions, and each arm portion is provided with one of the protrusions.
In some alternative forms, the cleaning component comprises three arm portions. Respective ends of the three arm portions are connected to each other, and respective other ends of the three arm portions are provided with the protrusions.
In some alternative forms, the sieving component comprises a screening frame and a screening mesh arranged on the screening frame.
In some alternative forms, the screening frame comprises a plurality of screening frame units, and the plurality of screening frame units divide the screening mesh into a plurality of screening mesh units.
In some alternative forms, the sieve frame comprises a plurality of cleaning components, and each cleaning component is arranged below a corresponding screening mesh unit of the sieving component.
In some alternative forms, the openings of the support component are slotted holes.
The present invention further provides a sieving device, and the sieving device comprises the aforementioned sieve frame.
The sieve frame and the screening device comprising the same according to the present invention mainly comprise the following advantages:
1. The present invention improves on the structure of sieve frames, thereby improving the material discharging speed, and improving the yield of a single sieve frame.
2. While meeting the same yield requirements, the sieving device has a reduced size and a reduced footprint, thereby saving space.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a sieving device is further provided, and the sieving device includes the aforementioned sieve frame.
The following describes the operational procedure of the sieve frame according to the embodiments of the present invention: when the sieving device operates at a certain speed, powder passes through the sieving component and the support component, and at the same time the cleaning component between the sieving component and the support component constantly cleans the sieving component, such that the powder drops onto the inclined surface of the bottom plate, and is quickly discharged by means of the large material discharging port and enters a sieving slot, thereby greatly improving productivity.
The sieving apparatus according to the present invention can be used to sieve coarsely ground grains, semolina, and powder products, and can be used to sort various types of grain, such as wheat, rye, corn, barley, etc.
In summary, the sieve frame and the sieving device including the same provided by the present invention mainly include the following advantages: the present invention improves on the structure of sieve frames, thereby improving the material discharging speed, and improving the yield of a single sieve frame.
