Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a material conveying device, in particular to a material conveying mechanism capable of lifting and conveying materials and a fruit processing machine. Background Art

[0002] In many production and processing industries, the material flow process is involved, such as transferring materials from the storage to the processing station for operation, or the upstream equipment completing the process operation and flowing into the downstream equipment for the next process.

[0003] In an automatic fruit juicer, the fruit stored on the fruit storage rack needs to be transferred to the processing station for processing. In order to store more fruit, the fruit storage rack is set into a multi-layer structure. Some automatic fruit juicers push the fruit into the discharge channel through the discharge device set on the fruit storage rack, and use the effect of gravity to make the fruit automatically roll to the processing station. However, in the process of rolling, the fruit is easily bruised, which affects the taste of the juice. For this reason, it is necessary to set a lifting and conveying device to transfer the fruit from the storage rack to the processing station. However, the existing lifting and conveying device only unloads the material by moving the loading plate out horizontally when unloading. It is necessary to set a push plate or other power-assisting device on the loading plate to push the material out of the loading plate to ensure successful unloading. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a material conveying mechanism, which can unload materials by using only an existing transverse driving device, without the need to set up other driving devices to assist in unloading materials.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a material conveying mechanism including a carrier and a transverse driving device, which drives the carrier to move transversely to discharge materials, and also includes a lifting structure, which lifts the rear part of the carrier so that the carrier can be tilted forward to discharge materials.

[0006] Furthermore, the front part of the object carrier is hinged to the transverse driving device, and the rear part of the object carrier is lifted by rotating with the front part as the rotation axis.

[0007] Furthermore, the front part of the object carrier is hinged to the transverse movement driving device through the bottom plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the carrier moves forward horizontally to unload the material, and the lifting structure is as follows: a guide plate is vertically arranged on the side of the carrier, and a guide path is provided on the guide plate. The guide path leads from the rear lower part to the front upper part, and a moving block that moves along the guide path is installed at the rear part of the carrier. As the carrier moves forward horizontally, the moving block rises obliquely along the guide path to lift the rear part of the carrier.

[0009] Furthermore, a side baffle is extended upward from the side of the object carrier.

[0010] Furthermore, the side baffle is inclined toward the outside.

[0011] Furthermore, rollers are provided on the inner surface of the side baffle to facilitate material discharge.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple rollers arranged front and back on the inner surface of the side baffle.

[0013] Furthermore, a rear baffle extends upward from the rear side of the object carrier.

[0014] A fruit processing machine comprises a fruit storage area and a fruit processing area, and also comprises the material conveying mechanism as described above, wherein the object carrier of the material conveying mechanism takes the material from the fruit storage area and then moves the material horizontally out to the fruit processing area.

[0015] Furthermore, the fruit storage area and the fruit processing area are at different heights, and the material conveying mechanism includes a lifting drive device, which drives the carrier to move to the corresponding height of the fruit storage area to pick up materials, and then moves to the corresponding height of the fruit processing area to move horizontally out of the material.

[0016] Furthermore, the fruit storage area is higher than the fruit processing area. The lifting drive device drives the object carrier to rise to the corresponding height of the fruit storage area to pick up the material, and then descends to the height of the fruit processing area to move horizontally to discharge the material.

[0017] Further, the fruit storage area is divided into multiple layers arranged in high and low positions.

[0018] Furthermore, the fruit processing area is provided with a juice extraction device.

[0019] The material conveying mechanism is equipped with a lifting structure, which lifts the rear of the object carrier so that the object carrier tilts forward to discharge the material. The material on the object carrier automatically slides down by gravity, and no other driving device is required to assist in unloading. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The material conveying mechanism of the fruit processing machine is as follows Figure 1 As shown. The fruit storage area of ​​the fruit processing machine is not shown in the figure. The fruit storage area is located at a high place and has multiple layers arranged in different heights. The object carrier 6 needs to rise to the corresponding height of a certain layer of the fruit storage area to take the material. After taking the material, the object carrier 6 descends to the height corresponding to the fruit processing area, and then moves horizontally to the right in the figure to discharge the material to the fruit processing area of ​​the fruit processing machine (not shown in the figure) for the juice extraction device in the fruit processing area to extract the juice.

[0025] The rise and fall of the object carrier 6 is driven by a lifting drive device, which includes a screw rod 2 vertically installed in the outer frame 1 and a motor 3 for driving the screw rod 2. The screw rod 2 is equipped with a fixed seat 4 that can perform lifting and lowering movements along the screw rod 2, and a linear module 5 as a transverse driving device is installed on the fixed seat 4. The outer frame 1 is also provided with guide rails 9 located on both sides of the screw rod 2, and the fixed seat 4 is provided with a slider 10 matching the guide rail 9, and the slider 10 is inserted into the guide rail 9. In this way, when the fixed seat 4 is lifted and lowered along the screw rod 2, the movement of the fixed seat 4 is smoother due to the action of the guide rails 9 on both sides.

[0026] See Figure 3 , guide plates 8 are vertically arranged on both sides of the object carrier 6, and guide channels 81 are arranged on the guide plates 8. Moving blocks 61 are respectively arranged on both sides of the rear of the object carrier 6, and the lower ends of the moving blocks 61 are inserted into the guide channels 81. The front of the object carrier 6 is hinged to the front side of the bottom plate 7, and the rear side of the bottom plate 7 is mounted on the linear module 5. Figure 1 The linear module 5 drives the bottom plate 7 to move forward, and the object carrier 6 moves forward accordingly. The moving block 61 moves forward along the guide 81, and is guided by the guide 81 from the rear lower part to the front upper part, thereby tilting up and lifting the rear part of the object carrier 6. In this way, the rear part of the object carrier 6 rotates with the front part as the rotation axis to the following position: Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the tilted state shown, the fruits placed on the object carrier 6 are discharged forward by their own gravity. A rear baffle 63 extends upward from the rear side of the object carrier 6, and a side baffle 62 extends upward from the side side to prevent the fruits from falling from the rear side or the side side. The side baffle 62 is tilted outward, and a plurality of rollers 64 are arranged on the inner surface of the side baffle 62 to facilitate the forward discharge of the fruits.

[0027] In order to lift the rear part of the carrier 6 so that the carrier 6 can be tilted forward for discharging, the present embodiment adopts a lifting structure in which the moving block 61 rises tiltedly along the guide path 81 of the guide plate 8. The lifting structure can be changed to an electric push rod, which is embedded in the bottom plate 7 and can be extended above the plane where the bottom plate 7 is located to lift the rear part of the carrier 6. The electric push rod can also be changed to be vertically placed beside the carrier 6, and when the electric push rod is extended upward, it supports the carrier 6 to lift the rear part of the carrier 6. In the present embodiment, the right side in the figure is taken as the front, and according to the direction in the figure, the carrier 6 moves horizontally to the right and discharges to the right. Other embodiments can be changed to take the direction close to the reader in the figure as the front and the direction away from the reader in the figure as the rear. Then, according to the direction in the figure, the carrier 6 moves horizontally to the right, the part away from the reader is lifted, and the material is discharged facing the reader.
