Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of assembly line equipment, and in particular relates to a vibrating material distributor. Background Art

[0002] Quick-frozen vegetables offer numerous advantages. Not only do they retain the same nutritional value as fresh vegetables, they also maintain their freshness for extended periods, making them easier to transport and export. Fresh vegetables undergo a series of processes on the assembly line, including washing, blanching, and freezing. After being cleaned in a washing machine, the vegetables are hoisted to a higher level, allowing them to exit the washing machine's water tank. During the hoisting process, the vegetables are drained and then transferred to the next conveyor belt, which then feeds the blanching machine. However, since the washed vegetables are moist, they can cling to each other. If these clinging vegetables enter the blanching machine, the clinging parts of the vegetables will not be exposed to the hot water, resulting in uneven blanching and ultimately affecting the quality of the quick-frozen vegetables. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "transverse", "longitudinal", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or to implicitly specify the quantity of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first," "second," or "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the vibrating concrete spreading machine of the present invention, the vibrating concrete spreading machine includes a frame 1, a vibrating machine 2 and a hopper assembly 3.

[0035] The hopper assembly 3 is mounted on the frame 1. It comprises a hopper 31, a base 34, and a spring plate 35. The hopper 31 is tilted, with the front higher and the back lower. It has side panels 32 on its exterior and a discharge port 33 at its rear end. The rear end of the hopper 31 extends rearward relative to the frame 1. The vibrator 2 is mounted on the base 34, with the ends of the spring plate 35 fixed to the base 34 and the hopper 31, respectively. The bottom surface of the hopper 31 has multiple guide slots 36 extending in the front-to-back direction. These slots 36 include a first guide slot 36a, a second guide slot 36b, and a third guide slot 36c. The first and third guide slots 36a, 36c are located to the left and right of the second guide slot 36b, respectively. The rear ends of the first and third guide slots 36a, 36c, and 36c are tilted inward, with the rear ends of the first, third, and second guide slots 36b positioned in that order from front to back.

[0036] After being lifted and drained by the elevator, the vegetables fall into the hopper. The vibrator 2 operates, directly driving the base 34 to vibrate. This vibration is then transmitted to the hopper 31 via the spring plate 35, causing the hopper 31 to vibrate. The vibration disperses the vegetables in the hopper 31, eliminating any clinging between the vegetables. The dispersed vegetables slide backward along the tilted hopper 31 and out through the discharge port 33. Because the rear end of the hopper 31 extends, the vegetables that slide out of the discharge port 33 can fall directly onto the conveyor belt below and be sent to the next step for processing. The spring plate 35 increases the vibration amplitude of the hopper 31 through its elastic deformation, thereby enhancing the vibration effect on the vegetables, effectively breaking them up and eliminating any clinging. When the vegetables fall into the hopper 31, they disperse into the various guide grooves 36, preventing them from clumping and making them easier to disperse under the action of vibration. At the same time, the guide grooves 36 guide the vegetables to move more smoothly backward, improving processing efficiency. Vegetables diverted to each guide trough 36 slide out of the rear end of each guide trough 36 and fall onto the subsequent conveyor belt. The rear ends of the guide troughs 36 are arranged sequentially from front to back, so that the vegetables fall in a dispersed manner, preventing them from re-aggregating and sticking to the subsequent conveyor belt when they fall, thereby ensuring the vegetables are effectively dispersed. At the same time, the guide troughs 36 on both sides are tilted toward the center, so that the rear ends of the guide troughs 36 are close to the central axis of the equipment. The fallen vegetables are able to fall to the center of the subsequent conveyor belt below, preventing them from falling to the ground.

[0037] In the above-mentioned exemplary embodiment, the hopper driven by the vibrator breaks up the vegetables through the vibration effect, eliminates the adhesion between the vegetables, and enables the vegetables to fully contact the hot water when entering the subsequent blanching machine, thereby ensuring the blanching processing effect and thus ensuring the quality of the quick-frozen vegetables; the hopper is tilted so that the broken vegetables can slide to the rear side, so that the vegetables move smoothly, avoid the vegetables from being retained in the hopper, and ensure the processing efficiency of the assembly line; the hopper has a holding capacity, which can prevent the vegetables from escaping to the left and right sides and falling to the ground under vibration, and ensure that all vegetables can fall onto the conveyor belt through the discharge port to prevent the loss of vegetables. The vibration amplitude of the hopper can be transmitted and increased through the spring plate, thereby enhancing the vibration effect and breaking up the vegetables faster; multiple guide grooves divide the vegetables that fall into the hopper into multiple strands, thereby accelerating the dispersion of the vegetables; the ends of the three guide grooves are arranged front and back in sequence, and the vegetables fall in a dispersed manner front and back, thereby avoiding the vegetables from re-aggregating and sticking when they fall to the next process, and ultimately solving the problem of vegetables adhering to each other after washing and affecting the production quality of quick-frozen vegetables.

[0038] In some embodiments, the spring plate 35 is arranged vertically so that it can undergo elastic deformation more in the front-to-back direction, and the vibration of the hopper is generated more in the front-to-back direction, so that the vegetables can not only be broken up under the action of vibration, but also slide backward faster, thereby speeding up the movement speed of the vegetables and improving the overall work efficiency of the production line.

[0039] In some embodiments, the hopper assembly 3 has multiple spring plates 35 on both sides. The multiple spring plates 35 on the same side are spaced apart from front to back. The base 34 supports the hopper 31 via the left and right spring plates 35, ensuring stable vibration and maintaining a fixed vibration direction, ensuring greater stability during overall operation. The multiple spring plates 35 on the left and right sides transmit and amplify vibration, ensuring smoother transmission and amplification.

[0040] In some embodiments, the spring plate 35 includes a plurality of stacked spring sheets 39, so that when the spring plate 39 is fixed between the base 34 and the hopper 31, different layers of spring sheets 39 are selected to adjust the deformation capacity of the spring plate 35 to adapt to the vibration amplitude required to break up the adhesion of different types of vegetables.

[0041] In some embodiments, a rubber pad 4 is installed on the top of the frame 1, and the base 34 is installed on the rubber pad 4. The rubber pad 4 cushions the vibration of the hopper assembly 3, thereby preventing the frame 1 from vibrating, allowing it to be stably fixed on the assembly line, and reducing the noise generated by the equipment.

[0042] In some embodiments, there are four rubber pads 4 distributed at the four corners of the frame 1, so as to evenly support the hopper assembly 3, reduce vibration while ensuring its stable vibration, and avoid the hopper 31 from tilting to one side during vibration, causing vegetables to fall out.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the rubber pad 4 is cylindrical, and its top end is connected to the base 34 through a connecting bolt 41. The insertion rod 11 vertically arranged on the top of the frame 1 is inserted into the insertion hole 42 set at the bottom of the rubber pad 4. The insertion hole 42 is a countersunk hole with an opening at the bottom end. The connecting bolt 41 enters the countersunk hole from bottom to top, extends upward from the rubber pad 4, and is threadedly connected to the base 34 to complete the fixed connection between the rubber pad 4 and the base 34. The insertion rod 11 vertically arranged on the top of the frame 1 is inserted into the countersunk hole. Under the downward pressure of the gravity of the hopper assembly 3, the insertion rod cannot fall out of the countersunk hole, and the countersunk hole radially limits the rubber pad. A bouncing space 43 is provided between the insertion rod 11 and the connecting bolt 41 to prevent the connecting bolt 41 from contacting the insertion rod 11 during operation and causing collision and vibration.

[0044] In some embodiments, an inverted V-shaped ridge 37 is provided between adjacent guide grooves 36. Even if the guide grooves 36 are connected by the ridge 37, the ridge 37 separates the falling vegetables and makes them fall into the guide grooves 36 on both sides, thereby accelerating the dispersion of the vegetables in the hopper 31 and enhancing the vegetable breaking effect.

[0045] In some embodiments, a reinforcing beam 38 is longitudinally mounted at the rear of the hopper 31. The two ends of the reinforcing beam 38 connect to the left and right side panels 32 of the hopper 31. Because the rear ends of the multiple guide slots 36 are arranged in a sequential, front-to-back direction, the guide slots 36 on both sides must extend rearward independently, resulting in a relatively loose structure at the rear of the hopper 31. The reinforcing beam 38 increases the structural strength of the rear end of the hopper 31, preventing the guide slots 36 from swinging left and right during vibration, which could prevent vegetables from spilling longitudinally.

[0046] In some embodiments, the vibrator 2 is installed at the rear end of the hopper assembly 3, which is not only convenient for installation and maintenance, but also more likely to generate vibrations in the forward and backward directions. While ensuring that the vegetables can eliminate adhesion, it speeds up the movement of the vegetables and quickly leaves the hopper to enter the next process.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0048] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, persons skilled in the art should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention may still be modified or some technical features may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should fall within the scope of the technical solutions claimed for protection by the present invention.
