Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding equipment, specifically relating to a feeding device for lotus root processing. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus root feeding devices are typically used in the processing of lotus roots to automatically transport them from storage or transport containers to subsequent processing equipment. These devices are generally used in food processing plants, agricultural production lines, and other similar locations. Their main function is to improve production efficiency and reduce manual operation.

[0003] Existing lotus root feeding equipment generally needs to transport lotus roots from low to high. However, the traditional spiral conveyor structure has a long conveying path, resulting in a large lateral footprint and easy damage to the lotus roots. This also leads to lower spiral conveying power. Furthermore, the traditional lifting feeding plate relies on inertia to unload the lotus roots, which makes the lotus roots easy to damage during the unloading process.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the problems of existing lotus root feeding equipment having a large footprint, low efficiency, and easy damage to lotus roots, a new feeding device for lotus root processing has been developed. By adding a lifting feeding structure to the lotus root feeding equipment, the footprint of the feeding equipment can be effectively reduced, the efficiency of conveying lotus roots from low to high can be improved, and the damage to lotus roots during the feeding process can also be effectively reduced. Utility Model Content

The two ends of the feeding belt are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the first roller and the second roller. Several sets of feeding plates are equidistantly distributed around the outer wall of the feeding belt and fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding belt. The upper end of the feeding plate is provided with a storage groove and the lower end of the feeding plate is installed with a buffer pad. The lower ends of the conveying frame and the feeding frame are fixedly connected to a movable frame. The lower four corners of the movable frame are fixedly connected to movable wheels with self-locking structures.

[0007] Preferably, the ends of the first rotating wheels that are close to each other are fitted with the front and rear ends of the material conveying frame, and the ends of the second rotating wheels that are close to each other are fitted with the front and rear ends of the material conveying frame.

[0008] Preferably, a motor mount is bolted to the rear end of the material conveying frame, and the drive motor is bolted to the upper end of the motor mount.

[0009] Preferably, a feeding frame is fixed to the right end of the conveying frame, handles are fixed to the front and rear ends of the feeding frame, and a feeding belt is installed on the inner wall of the feeding frame.

[0010] Preferably, the right end of the discharge hopper is fixed with an arc-shaped frame that is symmetrically distributed front and back. The arc-shaped frame is fixed to the upper edge of the material conveying frame, and the discharge hopper is inclined downward.

Compared with the existing lifting and feeding structure, it can avoid the lotus root from being damaged during the feeding process.

[0016] 3. While the second roller is driven by the drive motor to rotate, the first roller can be driven to rotate in conjunction with the transmission belt, so as to drive the feeding belt and the feeding plate on it to vertically lift the lotus root conveyed horizontally on the feeding belt.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding device for lotus root processing, comprising a conveying frame 1, a feeding frame 2, a discharge hopper 3, and a feeding belt conveyor 13, and further comprising a feeding belt 4, a drive motor 5, a feeding plate 7, a first roller 8, a transmission belt 10, and a second roller 11. The first roller 8 and the second roller 11 are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower ends of the conveying frame 1, respectively. The front and rear ends of the first roller 8 are fixedly connected to a first rotating wheel 9, and the front and rear ends of the second roller 11 are fixedly connected to a second rotating wheel 12. The two ends of the transmission belt 10 are respectively disposed on the first roller 8 and the second roller 11. On the first rotating wheel 9 and the second rotating wheel 12, a drive motor 5 is installed at the rear end of the second rotating wheel 12. The two ends of the feeding belt 4 are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of the first roller 8 and the second roller 11. Several sets of feeding plates 7 are fixedly attached to the surface of the feeding belt 4 and are evenly distributed around the outer wall of the feeding belt 4. The upper end of the feeding plate 7 is provided with a storage groove 16, and the lower end of the feeding plate 7 is provided with a buffer pad 15. The lower ends of the conveying frame 1 and the feeding frame 2 are fixedly attached with a moving frame 17. The lower four corner edges of the moving frame 17 are fixedly attached with moving wheels 18 with self-locking structures.

[0027] The main frame, consisting of the conveying frame 1 and the feeding frame 2, can save space for the feeding equipment to a certain extent, making it applicable to more scenarios, such as smaller work areas. The second roller 11, driven by the drive motor 5, can drive the first roller 8 to rotate via the transmission belt 10, thereby driving the feeding belt 4 and the feeding plate 7 on it to quickly and efficiently lift the lotus root being horizontally conveyed on the feeding belt conveyor 13 vertically, thus efficiently transporting the lotus root from a low place to a high place. The movable structure, consisting of the movable frame 17 and the movable wheels 18 with a locking structure, can be pushed by the user to move the equipment, so that the user can adjust the usage site of the equipment as needed. The storage slot 16 on the feeding plate 7 can also provide certain limiting assistance for the lotus root during transportation to prevent it from falling off the feeding plate 7. In conjunction with the buffer pad 15, it can cushion and protect the lotus root that is lifted to a high place for unloading, so as to avoid large damage to the lotus root during the feeding process.

[0028] Please see Figures 5-6 In this embodiment, the ends of the first rotating wheel 9 that are close to each other are attached to the front and rear ends of the material conveying frame 1, and the ends of the second rotating wheel 12 that are close to each other are attached to the front and rear ends of the material conveying frame 1. In use, the two sets of symmetrically distributed first rotating wheels 9 and second rotating wheels 12 can adjust the position of the transmission belt 10 and the drive motor 5 according to different needs to adapt to different usage environments. The rear end of the material conveying frame 1 is bolted to a motor base 6, and the drive motor 5 is bolted to the upper end of the motor base 6. In use, the bolted motor base 6 can adjust the placement position of the drive motor 5 according to the usage environment. The outer walls of the first rotating wheel 9 and the second rotating wheel 12 are provided with grooves, and the two ends of the feeding belt 4 are fitted into the grooves. In use, the grooves on the first rotating wheel 9 and the second rotating wheel 12 can effectively prevent the transmission belt 10 from falling off.

[0029] Please see Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, a feeding frame 2 is fixedly connected to the right end of the material conveying frame 1, and handles 19 are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the feeding frame 2. A feeding belt conveyor 13 is installed on the inner wall of the feeding frame 2. When in use, the feeding belt conveyor 13 can automatically transport the lotus root in the horizontal direction to the feeding plate 7.

[0030] Please see Figures 3-6In this embodiment, the right end of the discharge hopper 3 is fixed with an arc-shaped frame 20 that is symmetrically distributed front and back. The arc-shaped frame 20 is fixed to the upper edge of the material conveying frame 1. The discharge hopper 3 is inclined downward. When in use, the downwardly inclined discharge hopper 3 is more conducive to the lotus root rolling downward by its own gravity. The right end of the discharge hopper 3 is provided with a notch 14. The notch 14 is adapted to the discharge plate. When in use, the notch 14 can make the feeding plate 7 rotate by the feeding belt 4 and send the lotus root into the discharge hopper 3 by inertia.

[0031] When in use, first put the pre-processed lotus root into the feeding belt conveyor 13 and start the drive motor 5. The drive motor 5 drives the second roller 11 and, together with the transmission belt 10, drives the first roller 8 to rotate, so as to drive the feeding belt 4 and the feeding plate 7 on it to rotate.

[0032] Next, the horizontally conveyed lotus root is transported to the storage trough 16 on the feeding plate 7 by the feeding belt conveyor 13, and the lotus root in the feeding plate 7 is vertically lifted and lowered by the rotating feeding belt 4.

[0033] When the lotus root rises to the top of the conveyor frame 1, it will roll down to the back of the discharge hopper 3 at the other end of the feeding belt 4 due to inertia, and fall onto the buffer pad 15 for cushioning. Then it will roll down along the surface of the discharge hopper 3 into the processing equipment, while the feeding plate 7 will continue to rotate and circulate through the opening 14.

[0034] Through the above steps, the main frame composed of the conveying frame 1 and the feeding frame 2 can save space in the feeding equipment to a certain extent. While the drive motor 5 drives the second roller 11 to rotate, the transmission belt 10 can drive the first roller 8 to rotate, thereby driving the feeding belt 4 and the feeding plate 7 on it to vertically lift the lotus root conveyed horizontally on the feeding belt 13, thus efficiently transporting the lotus root from a low place to a high place. The buffer pad 15 can buffer and protect the lotus root that is lifted to a high place for unloading, so as to avoid large damage to the lotus root during the feeding process. This solves the problems of large footprint, low efficiency and easy damage to lotus root in the existing lotus root feeding equipment.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
