Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention is a spiral discharge pulping machine for food, belonging to the field of food processing. Background Technology
[0002] In the food machinery industry, food pulping machines are generally used for the deep processing of fruits, such as making bean paste and jujube pulp. For example, existing technology discloses a fully automatic quantitative pulping unit with application number CN200920163091.5. Its structure includes a programmable controller, a bean lifting mechanism, a quantitative feeding mechanism, and a grinding mechanism. The programmable controller automatically controls the bean lifting mechanism, quantitative feeding mechanism, and grinding mechanism for automated material lifting, quantitative feeding, and grinding. The bean lifting mechanism includes a bean soaking tank, a vacuum bean suction tank, and a blower. The quantitative feeding mechanism includes an electro-pneumatic switch, a temporary storage tank, and a screw propeller. A screw is installed at the lower outlet of the temporary storage tank. The existing technology for rotary propellers has achieved automated control of the entire grinding process, improving production efficiency. However, it is evident that the current automated production process operates from top to bottom. Therefore, it can be determined that the current rotary propeller is vertically placed, with the material directly contacting the propeller. As a result, the inlet area of the material entering the propeller during the discharge process is small (the area depends on the diameter of the propeller blades). Consequently, when the material enters the propeller inlet, the inlet channel is not yet filled before it is already being propelled by the rotation of the blades. Although this achieves quantitative discharge, the amount discharged each time is small, and the work efficiency is difficult to improve. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a spiral discharge pulping machine for food to solve the problem.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a spiral discharge pulping machine for food, the structure of which includes a stirring component, a discharge component, and a feeding component. The feeding component moves the food raw materials and pours them into the processing station of the stirring component. The stirring component stirs the food raw materials. The inlet port of the discharge component is connected to the output port of the stirring component, and the inlet port of the discharge component is provided with an automatically opening and closing valve structure.
[0005] Through the above technical solution, the discharge component enables the food raw materials to be processed automatically by the mixing component, and the outlet is automatically closed during the processing.
[0006] Furthermore, the feeding assembly is connected to a transport module for conveying raw materials.
[0007] The above technical solution involves feeding materials through a transportation module.
[0008] Furthermore, the feeding assembly consists of a fixing structure for fixing the transport module, a moving structure for moving the module, and a pouring structure for pouring the material.
[0009] The above technical solution automates the material feeding process by connecting it to the mixing component.
[0010] Furthermore, the transportation module is a transportation vehicle, and "L"-shaped clamps are fixedly installed on both sides of the transportation vehicle. The fixing structure consists of a truck bed for accommodating the transportation vehicle and a slot for placing the clamps, and the slot is fixed to the truck bed.
[0011] The above technical solution involves securing the vehicle to a fixed structure to prevent it from falling off during movement or tipping.
[0012] Furthermore, the movable structure includes a lifting motor, a transmission assembly, a mounting base, a lifting screw, and a base frame. The output shaft of the lifting motor is connected to the lifting screw through the transmission assembly to make the lifting screw rotate. The base frame is provided with a column of the same length as the lifting screw. The mounting base is threaded onto the lifting screw and sleeved on the column, and the mounting base is connected to the truck bed.
[0013] The above technical solution allows the transport vehicle to be raised and lowered smoothly by using a movable structure, thus preventing materials from spilling out during the raising and lowering process.
[0014] Furthermore, the material pouring structure consists of a connecting shaft for rotatably connecting with the mounting base, a concave locking block fixed on the connecting shaft, and a convex shaft for limiting the concave locking block. The connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the truck bed. The concave locking block has a notch matching the diameter of the convex shaft and an inclined opening outside the notch. The center position of the notch of the concave locking block is offset from the convex shaft. A protrusion is fixed on one side of the concave locking block. A limiting plate is provided on the mounting base on the column of the base frame, and the protrusion is locked in the limiting plate.
[0015] The above technical solution allows the transport vehicle to naturally tilt the material after it reaches a certain height through natural lifting and lowering, and then return to a flat state during the descent.
[0016] Furthermore, the stirring assembly consists of a tank body, a connector installed inside the tank body, a stirring paddle, a stirring motor for driving the stirring paddle to rotate, and a stirring paddle mounting bracket for mounting the stirring paddle. The stirring motor uses a turbine housing to make its output shaft act on the stirring paddle, and its output shaft is connected and fixed to the stirring paddle through the connector. The stirring paddle is connected to the stirring paddle mounting bracket through a bearing, and the stirring paddle mounting bracket is fixed to the tank body.
[0017] The above technical solution involves stirring the materials using a stirring assembly.
[0018] Furthermore, the output end of the valve structure is connected to a discharge structure, and the output port of the stirring component fully covers the output part of the discharge structure, so that the discharge structure can quickly fill with material and discharge slurry in a quantitative manner.
[0019] The above technical solution enables the material to be automatically discharged directly after mixing, without the need for transfer, and the discharge volume is controllable and stable. Furthermore, if used for cleaning tanks, wastewater can be directly discharged from the discharge structure without moving or tilting the tank.
[0020] Furthermore, the valve structure consists of a cover plate, a cylinder, and a discharge chute. The cover plate is slidably installed at the bottom of the tank and covers the discharge chute. The piston of the cylinder is connected to the outer edge of the cover plate.
[0021] Through the above technical solution: during the mixing process, the cover plate can block the discharge chute, keeping the bottom of the tank sealed. After the cover plate is removed, the large-area discharge chute can quickly collect and discharge the material.
[0022] Furthermore, the discharge structure consists of a discharge hopper, a discharge port, a screw shaft, and a screw shaft drive motor. The screw shaft is installed inside the discharge trough and is installed in the discharge port on the outer layer of the discharge trough in the output direction. The discharge port is located inside the discharge hopper.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, the valve structure can quickly collect materials, keeping the discharge trough full, and reducing the gap of the screw shaft to make the discharge volume stable and controllable during the discharge process.
[0024] Beneficial effects
[0025] This invention achieves cargo transportation and dumping through an automated feeding component, and processes the material using a mixing component and connects to the discharge structure through a valve structure that can be expanded over a large area, allowing raw materials to enter the discharge structure in large quantities, thus filling the propeller. In this way, the input material is quantitative and in large quantity in a single discharge process. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4This invention provides a spiral discharge pulping machine for food processing. Its structure includes a mixing component 1, a discharge component 4, and a feeding component 6. The feeding component 6 moves food raw materials and pours them into the processing station of the mixing component 1. The mixing component 1 mixes the food raw materials. The inlet port of the discharge component 4 is connected to the outlet port of the mixing component 1, and the inlet port of the discharge component 4 is equipped with an automatically opening and closing valve structure. The discharge component 4 allows the food raw materials to be automatically processed by the mixing component 1 and automatically closes the outlet during the processing. The feeding component 6 is connected to a transport module for conveying raw materials. The material is fed in through the transport module. The feeding component 6 consists of a fixing structure for fixing the transport module and a moving structure for moving. The system consists of a material feeding assembly 6 and a material feeding assembly 6. The material is fed automatically to the mixing assembly. The transport module is a transport vehicle 5, with "L"-shaped clamps 51 fixedly installed on both sides. The fixing structure consists of a bucket 61 for accommodating the transport vehicle 5 and a slot 611 for placing the clamps 51. The slot 611 is fixed to the bucket 61. The transport vehicle 5 and the fixing structure cooperate to secure the vehicle, preventing it from falling off during movement or tipping. The moving structure includes a lifting motor 67, a transmission assembly 68, a mounting base 69, a lifting screw 64, and a base frame 63. The output shaft of the lifting motor 67 is connected to the transmission assembly 68 (which can consist of two gears fitted with a chain). A shaft drives one gear, which in turn drives another gear (on which a lifting screw 64 is mounted) via a chain drive, causing the lifting screw 64 to rotate. The base frame 63 has a smooth column of the same length as the lifting screw 64. Mounting seats 69 are threaded onto the lifting screw 64 and sleeved onto the column, respectively. The mounting seats 69 are connected to the truck bed 61. A movable structure allows the transport vehicle 5 to rise and fall smoothly, preventing material spillage during the lifting process. The unloading structure consists of a connecting shaft 62 for rotatably connecting to the mounting seats 69 (connected to the connecting shaft 62 via a bearing), a concave locking block 65 fixed to the connecting shaft 62, and a convex shaft 66 for limiting the concave locking block 65. The connecting shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the truck bed 61. The concave locking block 65 has a notch matching the diameter of the convex shaft 66 and an inclined opening outside the notch. The center of the notch of the concave locking block 65 is offset from the convex shaft 66. A protrusion 651 is fixed on one side of the concave locking block 65. A limiting plate is provided on the mounting seat 69 on the column of the base frame 63. The protrusion 651 is locked in the limiting plate. It is worth mentioning that the lifting screw 64 is installed in front of the column, so that the center of gravity of the transport vehicle is in front during the lifting process. Therefore, the connecting shaft 62 is prevented from rotating in the direction of the transport vehicle 5 by the limiting plate of the protrusion 651, while the concave locking block 65 is limited by the convex shaft 66 and rotates in the direction away from the transport vehicle 5. This allows the transport vehicle 5 to naturally tilt the material after it reaches a certain height through natural lifting.And it returns to a straight state during the descent. The stirring assembly 1 consists of a tank and a connector 11 installed in the tank, a stirring paddle 14 (the stirring paddle can be a roller stirring paddle or a blade stirring paddle depending on the application), a stirring motor 12 for driving the stirring paddle 14 to rotate, and a stirring paddle mounting bracket 13 for mounting the stirring paddle 14. The stirring motor 12 causes its output shaft to act on the stirring paddle 14 through a turbine housing, and its output shaft is connected and fixed to the stirring paddle 14 through the connector 11 (the stirring paddle 14 is inserted and fixed to the connector 11, and can be disassembled and separated from the connector 11 when the stirring paddle 14 needs to be replaced). (And without needing to operate the output shaft on the turbine box, which is more convenient), the stirring paddle 14 is connected to the stirring paddle mounting bracket 13 via a bearing, and the stirring paddle mounting bracket 13 is fixed to the tank body. The stirring assembly stirs the material. The output end of the valve structure is connected to the discharge structure, and the output port of the stirring assembly 1 completely covers the output part of the discharge structure, so that the discharge structure is quickly filled with material and quantitatively discharged. After stirring, the material can be directly and automatically discharged without transfer, and the discharge volume is controllable and stable. Moreover, if used for cleaning the tank, the wastewater can be directly discharged from the discharge structure without moving or tilting the tank. The valve The door structure consists of a cover plate 43, a cylinder 44, and a discharge chute 45. The cover plate 43 is slidably installed at the bottom of the tank and covers the discharge chute 45. The piston of the cylinder 44 is connected to the outer edge of the cover plate 43 (the outer edge of the cover plate 43 is provided with a connecting arm for connecting the piston of the cylinder 44; the connecting arm can be used to adjust the installation position of the cylinder 44 so that the sliding direction of the cover plate 43 is parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the piston, and multiple cover plates 3 can be operated simultaneously for sliding). During the stirring process, the cover plate 43 can cover the discharge chute 45 to keep the bottom of the tank sealed. After the cover plate 43 is removed, the large-area discharge chute 45 can quickly discharge the contents of the tank. The material is collected and discharged. The discharge structure consists of a discharge hopper 41, a discharge port 42, a screw shaft 46, and a screw shaft drive motor 47. The screw shaft 46 is installed inside the discharge trough 45 and is correspondingly installed at the discharge port 42 on the outer layer of the discharge trough 45 in the output direction. A motor is connected to one side of the screw shaft 46. The discharge port 42 is located inside the discharge hopper 41. The valve structure allows for rapid material collection, ensuring the discharge trough 45 is full. By reducing the clearance of the screw shaft 46, the discharge rate is stable and controllable during the discharge process. A discharge cart 5 for material transfer is provided below the discharge hopper 41.
[0033] The motors and other components mentioned in this patent are all controlled by a controller. The circuit connection structure is existing technology and can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to the usage. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on the circuit connection structure and model settings.
[0034] Working principle: By moving the transport vehicle 5 carrying food materials to the truck bed 61, the locking block 51 is locked into the locking slot 611 to fix the transport vehicle 5. The lifting motor 67 drives the lifting screw 64 to rotate. Since the mounting base 69 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 64 and one end is sleeved on the smooth column, the mounting base 69 rises stably. The mounting base 69 is connected to the truck bed 61 by the connecting shaft 62, so that the transport vehicle 5 rises stably. After rising to a certain extent, the concave locking block 65 contacts the convex shaft 66. The convex shaft 66 limits the connection shaft 62, causing the truck bed 61 and the transport vehicle 5 to flip, pouring the material into the tank. The stirring motor 12 drives the stirring paddle 14 to stir. After processing for a certain period of time, the piston of the cylinder 44 extends and retracts, sliding the cover plate 43 out from the bottom of the tank, thereby opening the discharge chute 45. The material is discharged through the spiral shaft 46 to the discharge hopper 41 and stored in the discharge vehicle 5.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
