Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pepper capping machines, in particular to a pepper capping machine. Background Art

[0002] Chili pepper is widely used as a seasoning and additive in the food processing industry. However, the handle and green cap on the top of the chili pepper greatly affect the quality and appearance of food during food processing.

[0003] Therefore, when processing peppers, the handles and green caps of the peppers are usually removed manually, but manual removal results in low efficiency and increased costs.

[0004] It can be seen that there is an urgent need for a pepper capping machine to improve the efficiency of cleaning pepper handles and green caps during pepper processing. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Technical issues to be solved

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a pepper capping machine, which has the advantages of quickly removing the pepper handles, etc., and solves the problem of troublesome removal of the pepper handles mentioned in the above background technology.

[0007] (II) Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a pepper decapping machine, comprising a frame mechanism for supporting and a conveying mechanism for conveying peppers, the conveying mechanism is located inside the frame mechanism and driven by a motor, one end of the frame mechanism is movably connected with a sorting mechanism, the other end of the frame mechanism is provided with a decapping mechanism, the sorting mechanism and the decapping mechanism are both located on the top of the conveying mechanism, a barrel is provided on the top of the sorting mechanism, and the bottom opening of the barrel overlaps with the top of the sorting mechanism;

[0009] The transmission mechanism comprises two transmission rollers, the outer surfaces of the two transmission rollers are fixedly connected with sprockets at equal distances, and one group of the transmission rollers is connected to a motor, and a chain conveyor belt is arranged on the surface of the sprockets.

[0010] The screened peppers are placed in the barrel and sorted by the continuous vibration of the sorting mechanism, so that the peppers fall into the gaps between the chain conveyor belts. The peppers are conveyed through the chain conveyor belts to the bottom of the capping mechanism, and then the handles and green caps are pulled out by the capping mechanism. After the peppers are cleaned, they continue to be conveyed, and when the peppers are at the bottom of the chain conveyor belt, they are collected by the separation device.

[0011] Preferably, the frame mechanism comprises a supporting outer frame, a supporting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting outer frame, and baffles are fixedly connected between the supporting outer frames.

[0012] The supporting outer frame is used to support the entire device, and the supporting frame is used to support the cap-removing mechanism, and the baffle is used to block the peppers after transmission, so as to prevent the peppers from being conveyed out of the device without being capped.

[0013] Preferably, a tooth groove is opened at one end of the baffle, the width of the tooth groove is equal to the spacing between the chain conveyor belts, the baffle is located directly below the support frame, and the baffle is located above the chain conveyor belt, and the spacing between them does not exceed one centimeter but does not overlap.

[0014] The teeth on the baffle are used to limit the peppers so that they can maintain a uniform level during the transmission process, and to limit the tops of the peppers to prevent the peppers from being pulled out as a whole when the cap removal mechanism is lifted.

[0015] Preferably, the number of the chain conveyor belts is several, the spacing between the several chain conveyor belts is larger on the right and smaller on the left, and the chain conveyor belts are parallel to each other.

[0016] By setting the spacing between the chain conveyor belts, the peppers are gradually clamped during the conveying process, so as to avoid the peppers being offset or the force being too small to be successfully removed due to size deviation of the peppers when removing the caps.

[0017] Preferably, the sorting mechanism comprises a supporting roller and a sorting plate, the left end of the supporting roller is movably connected to the supporting outer frame, and the bottom of the sorting plate overlaps the outer surface of the supporting roller.

[0018] During the rotation of the support roller, the sorting plate is driven to vibrate irregularly, so that the peppers are sorted during the vibration and enter the gaps between the chain conveyor belts, so that the peppers can be smoothly conveyed.

[0019] Preferably, the support roller is driven by a motor, the outer surface of the support roller is provided with a plurality of irregular undulations, the top of the sorting plate is provided with a groove adapted to the gap of the chain conveyor belt, and the depth and width of the groove at the top of the sorting plate are equal.

[0020] The irregular undulations on the surface of the support roller periodically come into contact with the sorting plate when the support roller is driven by the motor, thereby achieving the vibration effect of the sorting plate.

[0021] Preferably, the sorting plate is arranged at an angle and is located on top of the chain conveyor belt.

[0022] The inclined sorting plate enables the peppers to fall more smoothly into the gaps between the chain conveyor belts.

[0023] Preferably, the cap-removing mechanism includes a lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, the movable end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, the outer surface of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a clamping cylinder, and the movable end of the clamping cylinder is fixedly connected to a clamping plate.

[0024] When working, the handle of the pepper is first clamped by the clamping cylinder, and then the handle and the green cap are lifted up and removed by the lifting cylinder, thereby achieving the effect of mechanically removing the handle and the green cap of the pepper.

[0025] Preferably, the number of the lifting cylinders is two, and the two lifting cylinders are located at both ends of the connecting rod. The number of the clamping cylinders is one or more, and the clamping plate is located directly above the baffle groove.

[0026] The two lifting cylinders can ensure that the clamping cylinder is evenly stressed when it is lifted or lowered, and one or more clamping cylinders are provided to control the clamping plate to clamp the pepper handle.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a pepper capping machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. The pepper decapping machine is equipped with a sorting mechanism, a conveying mechanism and a decapping mechanism respectively. The peppers are sorted by the vibration of the sorting mechanism, and then enter the conveying mechanism in order, and the peppers are conveyed to the bottom of the decapping mechanism through the conveying mechanism. The clamping cylinder in the decapping mechanism controls the clamping plate to clamp the handle of the pepper, and then the handle and the green cap of the pepper are removed by the rise of the lifting cylinder, thereby achieving the effect of efficiently removing the handle and the green cap of the pepper.

[0029] 2. The pepper decapping machine sets a barrel at the upper end of the sorting mechanism. When the pepper is in operation, the sorting plate vibrates continuously, so that the peppers fall onto the sorting plate intermittently and are sorted, thereby preventing a large amount of peppers from flowing into the conveying mechanism, resulting in incomplete pepper decapping, thereby further improving the decapping efficiency.

[0037] Through the above technical scheme, the screened peppers are placed in the barrel, and the peppers are made to fall onto the sorting mechanism 3 through the continuous vibration of the sorting mechanism 3 and are sorted by the vibration of the sorting mechanism 3. The peppers sorted by the sorting mechanism 3 fall into the gap between the chain conveyor belts 202, and the peppers are conveyed by the chain conveyor belt 202, so that the peppers are conveyed to the bottom of the capping mechanism 4, and then the handle and the green cap are pulled out by the capping mechanism 4. After the peppers are cleaned, the peppers are continued to be conveyed, and when the peppers are at the bottom of the chain conveyor belt 202, the detachment device is collected. According to the size of the screened peppers, generally, after the pull pieces fall between the chain conveyor belts 202, they will be located above the chain conveyor belts 202 with one-third of them, so as to be conveniently clamped.

[0038] Specifically, the frame mechanism 1 includes a supporting outer frame 101 , a supporting frame 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting outer frame 101 , and baffles 103 are fixedly connected between the supporting outer frames 101 .
