Abstract
Buckwheat huller is the key equipment of the buckwheat rice processing and its performance is directly related to the quality and yield of buckwheat rice. The key working parts of the sand disc sheller are a pair of parallel sand discs. The structure and the working parameters of the sand discs are the key factors affecting the shelling performance. In this paper, the effect of rotating speed of sand disc, shelling clearance, grain size of sand disc and width of the working face on the shelling performance are experimentally investigated. The results show that the rice yield and relative broken rice rate increase with the increase of the rotating speed of the lower sand disc, and the relative broken rice rate increases sharply when the speed reaches a certain value. With the linear increase of the shelling clearance, the rice yield and the relative broken rice rate are first decreased rapidly, and then decrease slowly. The smaller the particle size of the sand disc is, the higher the rice yield and the relative broken rice rate are, and the influence of the lower sand disc is obviously greater than that of the upper one. Properly widening the width of working face will increase the rice yield but the width tends to have little influence on the rice yield when it increases to a certain extent, and its change has a small impact on the relative broken rice rate. According to the results of single factor test and orthogonal test, the sheller can achieve a better shelling performance and work efficiency when the grain size of the upper sand disc is F24, the grain size of the lower sand disc is F36, the shelling clearance is 5 mm, the rotating speed of the sand disc is 950 r/min, and the width of the working face is 2 cm.
