Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of osmanthus product processing technology, specifically to an automated production line and method for cleaning and removing impurities from pickled osmanthus. Background Technology

[0002] The cleaning and impurity removal process for pickled osmanthus flowers is an important step in the production of various osmanthus products. Because the osmanthus raw materials are mixed with impurities such as tree branches, residual leaves, soil, and sand, the separation process is difficult.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning process for osmanthus flowers mainly relies on the unidirectional vibration of the filter screen in the water combined with manual turning of the screen. Therefore, the overall cleaning efficiency is relatively low and the workload is high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing an automated production line and method for cleaning and removing impurities from pickled osmanthus flowers, thus solving the problems of cumbersome and inefficient osmanthus flower cleaning processes.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An automated impurity removal and cleaning production line for pickled osmanthus flowers includes a leaf and branch screening cylinder, a shallow water filter disc for fine silt and sand, a resonant filter tank for fine silt and sand, and a sedimentation tank arranged sequentially along the production line; the leaf and branch screening cylinder is arranged vertically, and a screening disc is provided in the inner cavity of the leaf and branch screening cylinder along the cross-sectional direction for filtering out the leaves and branches in the osmanthus raw material; the bottom end of the leaf and branch screening cylinder is connected to a discharge pipe extending to the front end of the shallow water filter disc for fine silt and sand; an osmanthus flower conveying channel is formed in the shallow water filter disc for fine silt and sand, and a discharge port is opened at the rear end for the initial sedimentation of large particles of silt and sand mixed in with the osmanthus raw material; a matching screen disc is provided in the resonant filter tank for fine silt and sand, and a vibrator is installed on the outer wall of the resonant filter tank for vibrating the water inside the resonant filter tank for filtering out small particles of silt and sand in the osmanthus raw material; the sedimentation tank is used to clean the osmanthus raw material to deposit the remaining impurities.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the leaf and branch screening cylinder is provided with multiple spray nozzles located above the screening disc and evenly distributed.

[0008] Furthermore, an inclined plate is installed inside the leaf screening cylinder, located below the screening disc, with the lower end of the inclined plate aligned with the water injection pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the screening disc is provided with multiple primary filter holes and has upper and lower layers.

[0010] Furthermore, a vibration motor is also provided on the outside of the leaf and branch screening cylinder for exciting the leaf and branch screening cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the shallow water filter disc of the fine silt screen is made of transparent plexiglass, and the height of the front side wall is greater than the height of the rear side wall; the rear end of the shallow water filter disc of the fine silt screen is provided with a rotatable discharge baffle to regulate the outflow of osmanthus flowers.

[0012] Furthermore, the fine sieve resonant filter tank for mud and sand is made of transparent plexiglass; the sieve disc is a hollow mesh structure made of coiled iron wire.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a three-axis moving assembly composed of an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, and a Z-axis moving mechanism; the three-axis moving assembly is equipped with a clamp for suspending the sieve disc, which is used to drive the sieve disc to move the osmanthus raw material along the X, Y, and Z directions; the clamp is also provided with a flipping mechanism connected to the sieve disc, which is used to drive the flipping disc to flip and pour out the osmanthus raw material.

[0014] Furthermore, the sedimentation tank is a rectangular water tank made of transparent plexiglass; the upper end of the rectangular water tank has a limited drain outlet, and the lower end has a mud and sand cleaning hole.

[0015] This invention also provides a method for cleaning osmanthus flowers based on the aforementioned automated impurity removal and cleaning production line for pickled osmanthus flowers, comprising the following steps: pre-screening the osmanthus flowers through a leaf and branch screening cylinder to remove leaf and branch impurities; conveying the pre-filtered osmanthus flower raw material through a shallow water filter disc of a fine silt screen, allowing large particles of silt to settle initially; filtering out small particles of silt from the osmanthus flower raw material through a resonant filter tank of a fine silt screen; and cleaning the osmanthus flower raw material in a sedimentation tank to deposit remaining impurities.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the automated cleaning and impurity removal production line and method for pickled osmanthus involved in this invention adopts graded processing, which can sequentially remove impurities such as branches and leaves, sand and soil, petals and stems from the osmanthus raw materials, and finally achieve highly efficient and clean automated impurity removal work, which effectively solves the problem of labor shortage.

[0021] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integrally formed structures. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this patent based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automated cleaning and impurity removal production line for pickled osmanthus designed in this invention includes four main parts arranged sequentially along the production line: a leaf and branch screening cylinder 1, a shallow water filter disc for fine silt and sand screening 2, a resonant filter tank for fine silt and sand screening 3, and a sedimentation tank 4.

[0025] Specifically, the leaf and branch screening cylinder 1 can be fixed with a steel frame, and rubber pads are filled between the screening cylinder 1 and the frame to reduce mechanical noise. The leaf and branch screening cylinder 1 is arranged vertically, and a screening disc 5 is provided in the inner cavity of the screening cylinder 1 along the cross-sectional direction to filter out the branches and leaves in the osmanthus raw material. The bottom end of the leaf and branch screening cylinder 1 is connected to a discharge pipe 6 extending to the front end of the shallow water filter disc 2 of the fine sieve for mud and sand. In order to speed up the sorting efficiency, multiple spray nozzles 7 are opened on the outer wall of the leaf and branch screening cylinder 1, which are evenly distributed above the screening disc 5. A vibration motor 8 is also installed on the outside of the leaf and branch screening cylinder 1. The osmanthus raw material can be washed through the water pipe connected to the spray nozzles 7, and the vibration motor 8 vibrates at the same time, so that the osmanthus and branch and leaf impurities are quickly separated. The screened osmanthus can flow along the water flow along the discharge pipe 6.

[0026] To ensure the smooth discharge of the screened osmanthus flowers, an inclined plate 101 is installed inside the branch and leaf screening cylinder 1, located below the screening disc 5. The lower end of the inclined plate 101 is aligned with the water injection pipe to ensure that the washed osmanthus flowers can be accurately fed into the discharge pipe 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, the leaf and branch screening cylinder 1, the screening disc 5, and the inclined plate 101 are all made of Q235 steel. The screening disc 5 has multiple primary filtration holes on its surface and is arranged in two layers: the upper screening disc 5 has primary filtration holes with a diameter of 2.4-2.6 mm, and the lower screening disc 5 has primary filtration holes with a diameter of 2.2-2.4 mm. The upper screening disc 5 has a higher density of holes to achieve rapid primary screening and avoid clogging, while the lower screening disc 5 has a relatively lower density of holes to achieve fine screening and remove leaves and branches.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the shallow water filter tray 2 for fine sludge and sand has a channel for conveying osmanthus flowers, and a discharge port is provided at the rear end to allow for the initial settling of large particles of sludge and sand mixed in with the osmanthus flower raw materials. The entire shallow water filter tray 2 for fine sludge and sand has a rectangular structure and is made of transparent plexiglass. The height of the front side wall of the shallow water filter tray 2 is greater than that of the rear side wall, with the front side wall height being 15cm and the rear side wall height being 10cm, ensuring that the water depth in the shallow water filter tray 2 is 10cm. In addition, a liquid level sensor can be installed in the shallow water filter tray 2 to detect the water level. As the osmanthus flowers slowly move from the front end to the rear end of the shallow water filter tray 2, due to the pushing force of the shallow water waves and the influence of density, some soil and gravel will slowly settle at the bottom.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to precisely control the flow of osmanthus flowers out of the discharge port at the rear end of the shallow water filter disc 2 of the fine sand sieve, a rotatable discharge baffle 21 is provided at the rear end of the fine sand sieve 2. The discharge baffle 21 is 15cm high and a handle 22 can be installed on the outside of the discharge baffle 21 for adjustment. By rotating the discharge baffle 21, the size of the discharge port at the rear end of the fine sand sieve 2 is adjusted to ensure that the osmanthus flowers float on the water surface at a height of 10cm and flow out of the fine sand sieve 2. After the above process, large particles of sand and gravel are basically deposited at the bottom of the fine sand sieve 2.

[0030] Specifically, the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 is equipped with a matching sieve plate 9, and a vibrator 31 is installed on the outer wall of the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 to agitate the water inside the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 to filter out small particles of silt from the osmanthus raw material. Water is filled into the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3, and the osmanthus raw material passes through the sieve plate 9 in the above process. After the osmanthus is soaked in the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 along with the sieve plate 9, the resonance frequencies of each order are calculated based on the dimensions of the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 and the sieve plate 9. During the excitation process, low-frequency vibration is first used to make the water in the tank exhibit a low-frequency linear mode. After one minute, medium-frequency vibration is input to make the water in the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 exhibit a medium-frequency nonlinear mode. After one minute, high-frequency vibration is input to make the water in the fine sieve resonance filter tank 3 exhibit a high-frequency nonlinear mode. The soil in the osmanthus is further separated by cyclic shaking and tapping.

[0031] The fine sieve resonant filter tank 3 is made of transparent plexiglass for easy observation. The sieve plate 9 is a hollow mesh structure made of coiled iron wire, ensuring that the gaps are smaller than the size of an osmanthus flower, thus ensuring that the soil can be filtered.

[0032] The sedimentation tank 4 is used to clean the osmanthus raw materials to deposit remaining impurities. The sedimentation tank 4 can be a rectangular pool made of transparent plexiglass. After the osmanthus flowers have passed through a fine sieving process, they can be directly immersed in the sedimentation tank 4 along with the sieve tray 9. A limiting drain 4a is provided at the upper end of the rectangular pool to control the immersion water level. A mud and sand cleaning hole 4b is provided at the lower end to clean up any remaining small amount of settled mud, petal stems, and other impurities. Finally, the floating osmanthus flowers are collected to complete the entire impurity removal and cleaning process.

[0033] In this embodiment, the automated cleaning and impurity removal production line for pickled osmanthus also includes a three-axis moving assembly 10, which is composed of an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, and a Z-axis moving mechanism. The three-axis moving assembly 10 is equipped with a clamp 11 for lifting the sieve tray 9, which drives the sieve tray 9 to move the osmanthus raw material along the X, Y, and Z axes. The clamp 11 is also equipped with a flipping mechanism 12 connected to the sieve tray 9, which drives the tray to flip and pour out the osmanthus raw material. The three-axis moving assembly 10 moves the sieve tray 9 to the discharge port behind the shallow water filter tray 2 of the fine sand sieve to receive the coarsely dried osmanthus raw material. Then, the sieve tray 9 can be driven into the resonant filter tank 3 of the fine sand sieve for coarse drying. After the above process is completed, the entire sieve tray 9 is moved directly above the sedimentation tank 4. The flipping mechanism 12 drives the sieve tray 9 to flip, allowing the finished osmanthus raw material to be poured into the sedimentation tank 4 for cleaning.

[0034] It should be noted that the X, Y, and Z axes are three mutually perpendicular directions, with the X and Y axes located on the horizontal plane and the Z axis on the vertical plane. The X, Y, and Z axis moving mechanisms can all be composed of linear motors and guide rails, and the tilting mechanism 12 can be composed of a tilting motor; further details will not be provided here. Additionally, the three-axis moving assembly 10 is intended for the precise transport of osmanthus raw materials, therefore other conveying equipment can be used instead, such as a traveling conveyor.

[0035] To further illustrate the automated cleaning and impurity removal process for pickled osmanthus, this invention also provides a cleaning method for osmanthus in an automated cleaning and impurity removal production line for pickled osmanthus, comprising the following steps: First, the osmanthus is initially screened through a leaf and branch screening cylinder 1 to remove leaf and branch impurities; then, the pre-filtered osmanthus raw material is conveyed through a shallow water filter disc 2 for fine sand and mud, where large particles of mud and sand are initially settled; finally, small particles of mud and sand in the osmanthus raw material are filtered out through a resonant filter tank 3; and the osmanthus raw material is cleaned and residual impurities are deposited through a sedimentation tank 4. By employing the above-mentioned graded treatment, impurities such as twigs and leaves, sand, mud, and petal stems in the osmanthus raw material can be removed sequentially, ultimately achieving highly efficient and clean automated cleaning. This effectively solves the problem of labor shortage and achieves mechanized operation with less manual labor, lower intensity, and higher efficiency through automation.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
