DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0046] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "set", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0047] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a conveyor for softening beans and noodles includes: a frame 1, an outer shell 2, an axle wheel 3, a transmission rod 4, a roller group 5, a chain 6, a material box 7, a crawler 8, a motor 9, a transmission roller 10, and a first transmission belt 11. The frame 1 is erected on the ground, one end of the outer shell 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, two shaft wheels 3 are provided, and the two shaft wheels 3 are installed at the intervals on both sides of the feeding end of the frame 1, and the two ends of the transmission rod 4 are fixedly connected to the two shaft wheels 3. The roller group 5 is installed inside the outer shell 2, and the roller group 5 is located at the discharge end of the outer shell 2, one end of the chain 6 is sleeved on an shaft wheel 3, and one end of the chain 6 is sleeved on one end of the roller group 5. There are two chains 6, and the two chains 6 correspond to the two shaft wheels 3. There are several material boxes 7, and one side edge of each material box 7 is fixedly connected to the chain 6, the crawler 8 is sleeved on the wheel surface of the roller group 5, the motor 9 is installed on one side of the outer shell 2, and the transmission roller 10 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the transmission roller 10 is located below the roller group 5. One end of the first transmission belt 11 is sleeved on the transmission roller 10, and the other end of the first transmission belt 11 is sleeved on the output end of the motor 9.
[0048] It is worth noting that if Figure 4 As shown, the setting of the roller group 5 can greatly increase the rotation amplitude of the discharging end, thereby effectively increasing the time of the material box 7 turning over, so that the food contained in it can be completely dropped out without leaving residue.
[0049] In this embodiment, the main shaft wheel 501 is arranged inside the discharge end of the outer shell 2, at least four auxiliary shaft wheels 502 are distributed around the main shaft wheel 501, one end of the second transmission belt 12 is sleeved on the transmission roller 10, and the other end of the second transmission belt 12 is sleeved on one end of the main shaft wheel 501. The sliding opening and closing plate 13 is installed on the top of the outer shell 2. The sliding opening and closing plate 13 is set to prevent damage to a certain link of the equipment and facilitate replacement. The fan 14 is installed below the outer shell 2, and the discharge hopper 15 is installed below the crawler 8. There are two discharge hoppers 15, and the discharge ports of the two discharge hoppers 15 are staggered in direction. The staggered arrangement of the discharge ports makes the discharged food not in the same horizontal position. Such an arrangement can assist the diversified arrangement of the next production line, that is, the next production line can be set up horizontally and vertically. The air holes 16 are formed at the bottom of the plurality of material boxes 7, and the air pipe 17 is laid inside the outer shell 2, and the air pipe 17 is located below the air holes 16, and the pipe body of the air pipe 17 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 16. When the air pipe 17 transmits steam, steam is emitted through the small holes of the air pipe 17, and the steam rises through the air holes 16 and enters the interior of the material box 7.
[0050] It should be noted that the utility model is a conveyor for softening beans and noodles. When in use, the processed food is poured into the material box 7 located at the feeding end of the frame 1, and the motor 9 is started. The output end of the motor 9 drives the first transmission belt 11 to rotate, and the rotation of the first transmission belt 11 drives the transmission roller 10, and the rotation of the transmission roller 10 drives the second transmission belt 12, and the rotation of the second transmission belt 12 drives the main shaft wheel 501. The main shaft wheel 501 contacts the wheel surface of the auxiliary shaft wheel 502 around it. Once the main shaft wheel 501 rotates, it will drive the other auxiliary shaft wheels 502 to roll in the same direction, and the crawler 8 sleeved on the wheel surface of the roller group 5 will rotate. The rotation of the crawler 8 drives the material box 7 around it that is in contact with the surface of the crawler 8, and the rotation of the material box 7 drives the material box connected to it The chain 6 and the material box 7 are provided with two rows, so the two chains 6 will rotate, and the rotation of the two chains 6 drives the two shaft wheels 3 to assist the transmission, and finally the two rows of material boxes 7 around the shaft wheel 3 are driven and start to be transported. During the transportation process, water vapor will be transmitted into the air pipe 17, emitted from the small holes in the air pipe 17 and contact with the food through the air holes 16 at the bottom of the material box 7, thereby increasing the water content of the food and softening it. The fan 14 is started, and the wind force blown by the fan 14 will dry the excess water droplets condensed by the water vapor in contact with the material box 7, and the material box 7 continues to be transported until it reaches the crawler belt 8. The material box 7 starts to flip over with the rotation of the crawler belt 8, and the food in the material box 7 will fall into the discharge hopper 15 below due to gravity and be discharged, and the use process is ended.
[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
