Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kudzu processing technology, and in particular to a material handling device for pre-processing kudzu. Background Technology

[0002] Before processing, kudzu root needs to be pre-processed, such as washing and drying. After washing, the kudzu root needs to be taken out and transported to the drying equipment for drying. The existing material handling device requires manual collection of kudzu root before pouring it into the drying equipment. The material handling device has a single function, which not only makes manual labor difficult and wastes a lot of manpower, but also makes it easy for kudzu root to pile up when poured out at once, which is not conducive to drying by the drying equipment. Manual sorting is also required, which reduces the working efficiency of the drying equipment.

[0003] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a material handling device for the pre-processing of kudzu. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material handling device for pre-processing kudzu root, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a material handling device for pre-processing kudzu root, comprising a support base and a storage device. A material handling box is mounted on the upper end of the support base and the storage device. A rotating mechanism is installed inside the material handling box. A material handling belt is installed on one side of the material handling box. The rotating mechanism and the material handling belt are meshed together. A pipe mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the material handling box. The pipe mechanism is retractable and stored inside the storage device. A material conveying mechanism is installed inside the material handling box and the pipe mechanism.

[0006] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the rotating mechanism includes two first toothed rings, with a plurality of partitions connected between the two first toothed rings. The plurality of partitions are rotatably connected inside the material receiving box. A second toothed ring is fixedly connected to one side of the partition. A first gear is fixedly connected between the second toothed ring and the material conveying mechanism. The second toothed ring and the first gear are installed in the inner wall interlayer on one side of the material receiving box.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the material conveying mechanism includes a material conveying screw, a second gear is installed at one end of the material conveying screw near the material receiving box, the second gear meshes with the first gear, and a plurality of fixing rings are evenly installed in the middle of the material conveying screw.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the pipeline mechanism includes a conveying pipeline, a plurality of slots are evenly installed in the middle of the conveying pipeline, a fixing ring is sleeved and installed inside the slots, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the slots.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the storage device includes a base, a column is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, and a storage groove is provided in the middle of the base.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the material handling belt includes a support frame, a fixed frame is fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame, a conveyor belt is connected to the outside of the fixed frame, a locking strip is provided on the surface of the conveyor belt, and synchronous belts are symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveyor belt, and the synchronous belts are engaged with the first toothed ring.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the material receiving box includes a first side plate and a second side plate, a cover plate is connected to the circumferential cylindrical body of the first side plate and the second side plate, an inner cylinder is fixedly connected between the first side plate and the second side plate, the material conveying mechanism is movably installed inside the inner cylinder, a connecting pipe is connected to one side of the first side plate, and the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the pipeline mechanism.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the inner cylinder has an upward-opening C-shaped structure.

[0013] The present invention provides a material handling device for pre-processing kudzu root, the advantages of which are:

[0014] 1. By installing a rotating mechanism and a conveying mechanism on the outer and inner layers of the material receiving box respectively, the rotating mechanism and the conveying mechanism, as well as the conveying mechanism and the material receiving belt, are meshed together. After the external drive is connected to the rotating shaft, it drives the conveying mechanism to rotate inside the pipeline structure and the material receiving box. Simultaneously, due to the meshing of the rotating mechanism and the conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism and the material receiving belt, the rotating mechanism and the material receiving belt operate synchronously. The material receiving belt transports the kudzu roots from the washing tank during the washing process, allowing the kudzu roots to be fed into the material receiving box via the material receiving belt. Inside, during the rotation of the rotating mechanism, kudzu roots are fed counterclockwise into the inner cylinder along the feeding box. Inside the inner cylinder, they are then fed into the drying and slicing processing equipment of kudzu roots through the conveying and piping mechanisms. This saves manpower for retrieval, eliminating the need for manual material handling. Furthermore, the rotation of the rotating mechanism directly removes excess water from the kudzu roots, preventing it from affecting the drying process. At the same time, due to the continuous operation of the rotating mechanism, feeding belt, and conveying mechanism, the kudzu roots can be continuously pre-treated, avoiding the accumulation of kudzu roots that can easily be piled up after a single dumping, thus reducing the cost of manual sorting.

[0024] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.

[0025] like Figures 1-7As shown, this embodiment proposes a material handling device for pre-processing kudzu root, including a support base 1 and a receiving device 5. A material handling box 7 is mounted on the upper end of the support base 1 and the receiving device 5. A rotating mechanism 2 is installed inside the material handling box 7. A material handling belt 6 is installed on one side of the material handling box 7. The rotating mechanism 2 and the material handling belt 6 are meshed together. A pipe mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the material handling box 7. The pipe mechanism 4 is telescopically stored inside the receiving device 5. A material conveying mechanism 3 is installed inside the material handling box 7 and the pipe mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 2 includes two first toothed rings 2. 2. Multiple partitions 21 are connected between the two first toothed rings 22. The partitions 21 are rotatably connected inside the material receiving box 7. A second toothed ring 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the partition 21. A first gear 24 is fixedly connected between the second toothed ring 23 and the conveying mechanism 3. The second toothed ring 23 and the first gear 24 are installed in the inner wall interlayer of one side of the material receiving box 7. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying screw 31. A second gear 33 is installed at the end of the conveying screw 31 near the material receiving box 7. The second gear 33 meshes with the first gear 24. The middle part of the conveying screw 31 is... The system includes multiple fixing rings 32 evenly installed; the pipeline mechanism 4 includes a conveying pipeline 41, with multiple slots 42 evenly installed in the middle of the conveying pipeline 41, the fixing rings 32 being sleeved and installed inside the slots 42, and a support frame 43 being fixedly connected to the outer side of the slots 42; the storage device 5 includes a base 51, with a column 52 fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 51, and a storage slot 53 opened in the middle of the base 51; the material handling belt 6 includes a support frame 61, with a fixing frame 65 fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame 61, and a conveyor belt 62 connected to the outer side of the fixing frame 65, the surface of the conveyor belt 62... A card bar 63 is provided. Synchronous belts 64 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 62. The synchronous belts 64 and the first toothed ring 22 are meshed and connected. The material box 7 includes a first side plate 71 and a second side plate 72. A cover plate 73 is connected to the circumferential cylindrical body of the first side plate 71 and the second side plate 72. An inner cylinder 74 is fixedly connected in the middle of the first side plate 71 and the second side plate 72. The material conveying mechanism 3 is movably installed inside the inner cylinder 74. A connecting pipe 75 is connected to one side of the first side plate 71. The connecting pipe 75 is fixedly connected to the pipe mechanism 4. The inner cylinder 74 has a C-shaped structure with the opening facing upward.

[0026] Multiple partitions 21 are connected between the two first toothed rings 22. The partitions 21 are arranged around the inner cylinder 74, with no fewer than six partitions. They can be automatically adjusted according to the size of the kudzu root, or the partitions 21 can be set as a mesh to separate the kudzu root from the mud and water during the kudzu root turning process. The second toothed ring 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition 21. The second toothed ring 23 and the first gear 24 are installed in the interlayer of the feeding box 7. The second toothed ring 23 is connected to the second gear 33 through the first gear 24. When the external motor drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate, the first gear 24 transmits power to the second toothed ring 23, which drives the partition 21 to rotate, ensuring the overall synchronization of the equipment.

[0027] One end of the second gear 33 on the conveying screw 31 is connected to an external motor device. Multiple annular fixed rings 32 are set in the middle of the conveying screw 31. The fixed rings 32 are connected to the slots 42, so that the conveying screw 31 can be extended and retracted with the extension and retraction of the conveying pipe 41, without affecting the rotation and transmission of the conveying mechanism 3, which facilitates the picking of kudzu root.

[0028] Multiple support frames 43 are fixedly connected to the middle outer side of the conveying pipe 41. The support frames 43 are T-shaped and can be locked in the groove of the storage slot 53 to constrain the pipe mechanism 4 and the material conveying mechanism 3 inside the storage device 5, so as to facilitate the use of the whole device.

[0029] The surface of the conveyor belt 62 is provided with a retaining strip 63, which has barbs pointing upwards, so that the conveyor belt 62 can grab the kudzu root and facilitate the conveying and picking up of the kudzu root. The front end of the support frame 61 is also provided with a shovel plate 66 that is close to the bottom of the washing pool 8 to scoop up the kudzu root that has sunk to the bottom of the water. The synchronous belt 64 and the first toothed ring 22 are engaged and connected. The support frame 61 is installed on one side of the picking box 7 and is close to the lower half of the picking box 7, so that the conveyor belt 62 can carry the kudzu root into the picking box 7.

[0030] The inner cylinder 74 has an upward-opening C-shaped structure. When the rotating mechanism 2 rotates outside the inner cylinder 74, it drives the kudzu root to rotate in reverse from bottom to top, causing the water on the kudzu root to be shaken out and fall into the inner cylinder 74. The first side plate 71, the second side plate 72, and the cover plate 73 partially surround the outside of the rotating mechanism 2, which makes it easier for the rotating mechanism 2 to roll up the kudzu root and prevent the kudzu root from falling. This facilitates the picking and conveying of the kudzu root, reduces the cost of manual retrieval, and improves the convenience of picking up the kudzu root.

[0031] Specifically, in use, the material collection belt 6 is laid entirely inside the washing tank 8, and one end of the pipe mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the material collection box 7. The other end of the pipe mechanism 4 is connected to the inlet of the kudzu drying or slicing equipment. The kudzu is washed inside the washing tank 8. During the washing process, the kudzu is retrieved by the rotating conveyor belt 62. The kudzu is then fed into the material collection box 7 along the conveyor belt 62. As the rotating mechanism 2 rotates, the kudzu is fed counterclockwise into the inner cylinder 74 of the inner layer of the material collection box 7. The rotating conveying mechanism 3 continuously discharges kudzu roots to the end of the pipeline mechanism 4 for drying, slicing, and other processing, saving labor costs for harvesting and eliminating the need for manual material handling. During the rotation of the rotating mechanism 2, excess water on the kudzu roots is directly thrown off, preventing it from affecting the drying process. At the same time, due to the continuous operation of the rotating mechanism 2, the material handling belt 6, and the conveying mechanism 3, the kudzu roots can be continuously pre-treated, avoiding the accumulation of kudzu roots that can easily increase the cost of manual sorting if dumped all at once. The contents not described in detail in this description are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the invention.
