Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food sorting, and in particular to bamboo shoot sorting equipment for food processing. Background Art

[0002] Bamboo shoots are the young shoots of bamboo, also known as bamboo shoots. They are a traditional Chinese delicacy with a fragrant taste and crisp texture. They have a very long history of consumption and cultivation. They are not only rich in various nutrients, but also have high medicinal value. They are an excellent health-care vegetable.

[0003] Before being processed into finished products, bamboo shoots need to be classified and selected. Bamboo shoots of different sizes are selected to facilitate different processing. Therefore, the bamboo shoots need to be screened and sorted. At present, the commonly used sorting methods include manually screening and sorting the bamboo shoots, which has the disadvantages of low sorting efficiency and high labor intensity of the sorting personnel; or sorting the bamboo shoots by sorting equipment, which operates by placing the bamboo shoots on a conveyor line with troughs of different apertures on the conveyor line. When the bamboo shoots pass through the conveyor line, they fall into the troughs of different apertures, thereby realizing the sorting of the bamboo shoots. However, due to this sorting method, the bamboo shoots are of different sizes and shapes. Therefore, when the bamboo shoots fall into the trough, there is a situation where the bamboo shoots are stuck in the trough, causing the sorting trough to be blocked.

[0004] Based on the above defects, there is an urgent need to design a bamboo shoot sorting device for food processing that can prevent bamboo shoots from getting stuck in the sorting trough and causing the sorting trough to be blocked, so as to improve the sorting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a bamboo shoot sorting device for food processing, including a box body, a sorting drum, a driving assembly and an extrusion assembly. The sorting drum adapted to the sorting drum is rotatably arranged in the box body, and a plurality of sorting slots for bamboo shoots to pass through are equidistantly provided on the circumferential wall of the sorting drum. The box body is provided with a driving assembly for driving the sorting drum to rotate. The box body is movably provided with the extrusion assembly for preventing bamboo shoots of the same size as the sorting slot from being stuffed into the sorting slot and blocking the sorting slot. The extrusion assembly includes a sliding rod slidably mounted on the box body, an extrusion block mounted on the bottom of the sliding rod and a second spring wound around the sliding rod.

[0006] Preferably, a cavity is provided between the outer wall of the sorting cylinder and the inner wall of the box body for the bamboo shoots to pass through to complete the sorting operation.

[0007] Preferably, a screening component for performing preliminary screening of bamboo shoots is rotatably arranged in the sorting drum, and the screening component includes a screening drum rotatably installed in the sorting drum and a transmission component for transmitting power of a driving component to the screening drum and enabling the screening drum to perform a rotating screening operation.

[0008] Preferably, a flipping assembly for flipping the bamboo shoots in the screening drum is provided in the screening drum, and the flipping assembly includes a connecting member, a longitudinal rod, a first spring and a flipping bevel. The connecting member is rotatably mounted on the screening drum, the lower part of the connecting member is slidingly connected to the longitudinal rod, the bottom ends of the longitudinal rods are commonly connected to the flipping bevel, and the longitudinal rods extending into the inner cavity of the connecting member are wrapped with the first spring.

[0009] Preferably, the screening drum is provided with a pulling assembly for pulling the longitudinal rod upward, the pulling assembly includes an A-shaped block, a T-shaped rod and a pull rope, and a plurality of the A-shaped blocks are arranged in an array on the circumferential wall of the screening drum with the connection between the A-shaped blocks and the connecting member as the center. The connecting member passes through one end of the screening drum and is slidably installed with the T-shaped rod that is extruded and fitted with the A-shaped block through a cylindrical rod. The pull rope is connected to the T-shaped rod, and the pull rope passes through the inner cavity of the connecting member and is connected to the top end of the longitudinal rod.

[0010] Preferably, a scraping assembly for scraping off the bamboo shoots on the sorting barrel is provided at the lower part of the inner cavity of the box body. The scraping assembly includes telescopic rods installed on both sides symmetrically of the inner wall of the box body and arc-shaped scrapers installed at the ends of the movable rods of the telescopic rods. The scrapers are in contact with the inner wall of the sorting barrel.

[0011] Preferably, a collection frame for collecting the bamboo shoots that have completed the sorting operation is movably installed at the lower part of the box.

[0012] Preferably, the aperture of the sorting slot is smaller than the aperture of the screening slot provided on the screening drum.

[0013] Preferably, the tilting block is configured as an inclined surface structure which gradually rises from the middle toward both sides.

[0014] Preferably, the density of the screening slots provided on the screening drum is greater than the density of the sorting slots provided on the sorting drum.

[0015] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: 1. When the sorting cylinder rotates, the bamboo shoots stuck in the sorting groove can be squeezed out of the sorting groove by sliding the extrusion block into the sorting groove, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the sorting groove, providing convenience for the efficient screening and sorting of bamboo shoots, and realizing the function of efficient screening and sorting of bamboo shoots.

[0016] 2. At the same time, the sorting drum rotates and drives the A-shaped block close to the T-shaped rod and squeezes the T-shaped rod. Under the squeezing action of the A-shaped block, the T-shaped rod drives the pull rope to move upward, thereby driving the flipping oblique block to move upward. Through the lifting and lowering movement of the flipping oblique block, the bamboo shoots in the screening drum are flipped back and forth to avoid them from clumping, thereby facilitating sorting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. Example 1

[0028] A bamboo shoot sorting device for food processing, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, it includes a box body 1, a sorting cylinder 101, a collecting frame 7, a driving assembly and an extrusion assembly 4. The back of the box body 1 is rotatably installed with a box door that matches it. The box body 1 is rotatably provided with a sorting cylinder 101 that matches it. A number of sorting slots 1011 for bamboo shoots to pass through are equidistantly provided on the circumferential wall of the sorting cylinder 101. A cavity for the bamboo shoots to pass through after the sorting operation is provided between the outer wall of the sorting cylinder 101 and the inner wall of the box body 1. A collecting frame 7 for collecting the bamboo shoots that have completed the sorting operation is movably installed at the lower part of the box body 1. A driving assembly that drives the sorting cylinder 101 to rotate is provided on the box body 1. The driving assembly includes a driving motor 103 installed on the box body 1, a driving gear connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 103, and a driven gear 102 installed on the outer wall of the sorting cylinder 101 and meshing with the driving gear. 1 is movably provided with an extrusion assembly 4 for preventing bamboo shoots of the same size as the sorting groove 1011 from being stuffed into the sorting groove 1011 and blocking the sorting groove 1011. The extrusion assembly 4 includes a sliding rod 401 slidably mounted on the box body 1, an extrusion block 403 mounted on the bottom of the sliding rod 401, and a second spring 402 wound around the sliding rod 401. When the extrusion block 403 is facing the sorting groove 1011 on the sorting cylinder 101, under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 402, the extrusion block 403 slides and squeezes into the sorting groove 1011, thereby squeezing out the bamboo shoots in the sorting groove 1011. As the sorting cylinder 101 rotates, the extrusion block 403 is squeezed out of the sorting groove 1011 by the sorting cylinder 101. At this time, the second spring 402 is compressed and deformed, and the sliding rod 401 protrudes upward from the outer surface of the box body 1.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a screening assembly 2 for initially screening bamboo shoots is rotatably provided in the sorting drum 101. The screening assembly 2 includes a screening drum 201 rotatably installed in the sorting drum 101 and a transmission assembly 202 for transmitting the power of the driving assembly to the screening drum 201 and causing the screening drum 201 to perform a rotating screening operation. The screening drum 201 is provided with a screening slot for screening the bamboo shoots in the screening drum 201 to the outside of the screening drum 201. The aperture of the sorting slot 1011 is smaller than the aperture of the screening slot opened on the screening drum 201, and the density of the screening slot opened on the screening drum 201 is greater than that of the sorting drum. The density of the sorting slots 1011 opened on the drum 101, the transmission assembly 202 includes an external gear connected to the screening drum 201, an internal gear connected to the inner wall of the sorting drum 101 and a transmission gear meshed with the external gear and the internal gear. The driving motor 103 drives the driven gear 102 to rotate through the driving gear, the driven gear 102 drives the sorting drum 101 to rotate, the sorting drum 101 drives the internal gear to rotate, the internal gear drives the external gear to rotate through the transmission gear, thereby driving the screening drum 201 to rotate, and the rotation direction of the screening drum 201 is opposite to that of the sorting drum 101.

[0030] The outer gear meshing with the inner gear drives the transmission gear installed on the screening drum 201 to rotate, thereby realizing the screening and sorting function of the screening drum 201 and the sorting drum 101 rotating in opposite directions. When the screening drum 201 rotates, the bamboo shoots with a volume smaller than the screening hole on the screening drum 201 fall onto the sorting drum 101, and the sorting drum 101 rotates to screen out the bamboo shoots with a volume smaller than the sorting slot 1011. The bamboo shoots screened by the sorting slot 1011 fall into the collecting frame 7 through the collecting hole at the lower part of the box body 1, thereby efficiently collecting the bamboo shoots that have completed the screening and sorting operation.

[0031] When the sorting cylinder 101 rotates, when the sorting slot 1011 is opposite to the squeezing block 403, the squeezing block 403 slides into the sorting slot 1011 under the action of the second spring 402, thereby squeezing the bamboo shoots blocked in the sorting slot 1011 back into the sorting cylinder 101, thereby avoiding the blockage of the sorting slot 1011; as the sorting cylinder 101 continues to rotate, the squeezing block 403 moves away from the sorting slot 1011, and the second spring 402 is compressed, and this is repeated to ensure that the sorting slot 1011 is unobstructed, thereby realizing the function of efficiently screening and sorting the bamboo shoots.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a flipping assembly 3 for flipping the bamboo shoots in the screening drum 201 is provided in the screening drum 201, and the flipping assembly 3 includes a connecting member 301, a longitudinal rod 302, a first spring 303 and a flipping bevel 304. A "π"-shaped connecting member 301 is rotatably installed on the screening drum 201. The interior of the connecting member 301 is hollow. The lower part of the connecting member 301 is slidingly connected to the longitudinal rod 302, and the bottom ends of the longitudinal rods 302 are commonly connected to the flipping bevel 304. The flipping bevel 304 is arranged to be an inclined surface structure which gradually rises from the middle to both sides. The longitudinal rod 302 extends into the inner cavity of the connecting member 301 and is wrapped with a first spring 303. The upper end of the first spring 303 is connected to the connecting member 301, and the lower end of the first spring 303 is connected to the longitudinal rod 302. The longitudinal rod 302 is kept in a downward state by the first spring 303.

[0033] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the screening drum 201 is provided with a pulling assembly 5 for pulling the longitudinal rod 302 upward, and the pulling assembly 5 includes an A-shaped block 501, a T-shaped rod 502 and a pull rope 503. A plurality of A-shaped blocks 501 are arranged on the circumferential wall of the screening drum 201 with the connection between the A-shaped block 501 and the connecting member 301 as the center. The connecting member 301 passes through one end of the screening drum 201 and is slidably mounted with a T-shaped rod 502 that is extruded and fitted with the A-shaped block 501 through a cylindrical rod. A pull rope 503 is connected to the T-shaped rod 502, which passes through the inner cavity of the connecting member 301 and is connected to the top of the longitudinal rod 302.

[0034] When the screening drum 201 rotates, the A-shaped block 501 continuously approaches the T-shaped rod 502 and gradually squeezes the T-shaped rod 502. Under the squeezing action of the A-shaped block 501, the T-shaped rod 502 moves upward along the cylindrical rod. When the T-shaped rod 502 moves upward, the T-shaped rod 502 drives the longitudinal rod 302 to move upward along the longitudinal inner cavity of the connecting piece 301 through the pull rope 503, thereby pulling the flipping oblique block 304 upward. The bamboo shoots in the screening drum 201 are flipped by the flipping oblique block 304, avoiding the bamboo shoots in the screening drum 201 from clumping, providing convenience for sorting the bamboo shoots in the screening drum 201.

[0035] like Figure 9 As shown, a scraping assembly 6 for scraping bamboo shoots on the sorting barrel 101 is provided at the lower part of the inner cavity of the box body 1. The scraping assembly 6 includes telescopic rods 601 installed on both sides of the inner wall of the box body 1 symmetrically and arc-shaped scrapers 602 installed at the ends of the movable rods of the telescopic rods 601. The scrapers 602 are in contact with the inner wall of the sorting barrel 101.
