[0002] When using agapanthus flowers with high wilting levels to make preserved flowers, the flowers need to be removed, leaving only the flower stalks and stems. Manually removing the agapanthus flowers is inefficient and physically demanding, hindering the large-scale production of preserved flowers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a pretreatment device for flower processing. It aims to solve the technical problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with manually removing petals from agapanthus flowers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, some solutions in this application provide

[0005] A pretreatment device for flower processing, comprising:

[0006] The conveying mechanism includes two first conveying chains arranged vertically opposite each other. Gathering plates are spaced apart on the first conveying chains. The gathering plates on the two first conveying chains are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and are combined at the abutment of the two first conveying chains to form a funnel mouth.

[0007] A flower position adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism. The flower position adjustment mechanism includes two second conveying chains arranged vertically opposite each other. Sliding bases are provided at intervals on the second conveying chains. Sliding blocks are slidably installed on the sliding bases. A slide rail corresponding to each of the two second conveying chains is provided between the two second conveying chains. The sliding block passes through the slide rail.

[0008] When the second conveyor chain rotates, the slider moves along the slide rail, thereby driving the slider to move away from the conveying mechanism.

[0009] And, a petal removal mechanism is provided on the other side of the conveying mechanism relative to the flower gathering mechanism.

[0010] In some designs, a T-shaped groove is recessed on the base, and one end of the slider is embedded in the groove;

[0011] The entrance to the slide is funnel-shaped.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drive sprockets of the first conveyor chain and the drive sprockets of the second conveyor chain are coaxially fixedly connected, and the drive sprockets of the first conveyor chain and the drive sprockets of the second conveyor chain are the same size.

[0013] In some designs, flexible pads are spaced at intervals on the upper part of the first conveyor chain.

[0014] In some embodiments, the flower position adjustment mechanism also includes

[0015] Two guide rods are arranged opposite each other, and the slide is formed between the two guide rods.

[0016] In some designs, the guide rod is gradually tilted toward one side of the second conveyor chain along the conveying direction of the second conveyor chain.

[0017] In some embodiments, the petal removal mechanism includes a main removal roller and a secondary removal roller arranged in parallel to each other, with rakes respectively provided on the main removal roller and the secondary removal roller, and the rakes on the main removal roller and the secondary removal roller are staggered.

[0018] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the secondary stripping roller is greater than that of the primary stripping roller, and the rigidity of the rake nails on the primary stripping roller is greater than that of the rake nails on the secondary stripping roller.

[0019] In some designs, the main stripping roller and the auxiliary stripping roller are inclined and gradually approach the conveying mechanism along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0020] In some designs, the rake nail is a flexible rake nail.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] This application utilizes a conveying mechanism with a funnel-shaped opening formed by two converging plates. A flower positioning mechanism pulls the flowers into the funnel, converging them and directing them towards the petal removal mechanism, ensuring that the petal removal mechanism can completely remove the flowers from the flower. This equipment can quickly remove flowers from flower materials, effectively improving the pre-processing efficiency of flowers and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0038] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] Please see Figures 1-4In some embodiments of this application, a pretreatment device for flower processing is provided, mainly suitable for the pretreatment of flower materials with multiple small flowers, such as agapanthus. This device can quickly remove unwanted flowers from the flower materials, making them suitable for making preserved flowers. It includes a conveying mechanism 1, a flower position adjustment mechanism 2, and a petal removal mechanism 3.

[0040] The conveying mechanism 1 includes two first conveyor chains 11 arranged vertically opposite each other. The two first conveyor chains 11 partially abut against each other and rotate at the same speed, conveying the flowers by clamping them between the two first conveyor chains 11. Gathering plates 12 are arranged at intervals on the first conveyor chains 11. The gathering plates 12 on the two first conveyor chains 11 are arranged one-to-one and combine at the abutment of the two first conveyor chains 11 to form a funnel mouth. To facilitate the placement of the flowers, the sides of adjacent gathering plates 12 are joined together to form a continuous funnel mouth on one side of the effective conveying section of the two first conveyor chains 11. Thus, when conveying the flowers, the scattered flowers are gathered together through the funnel mouth, making it easier to remove the flowers from the flowers.

[0041] The flower position adjustment mechanism 2 is located on one side of the conveying mechanism 1. The flower position adjustment mechanism 2 includes two second conveying chains 21 arranged vertically opposite each other. The two first conveying chains 11 and the two second conveying chains 21 are arranged parallel to each other. When conveying flowers, the bottom end of the flower stem is clamped between the two second conveying chains 21, and the end of the flower stem closer to the flower is clamped between the two first conveying chains 11. The first conveying chains 11 and the second conveying chains 21 rotate at the same speed, thereby smoothly conveying the flowers forward.

[0042] In some embodiments, sliding bases 22 are spaced apart on the second conveyor chain 21, and sliders 23 are slidably mounted on the sliding bases 22. During conveying, the flowers are clamped by the sliders 23 on the upper and lower second conveyor chains 21. A slide rail 24 corresponding to each second conveyor chain 21 is provided between the two second conveyor chains 21. The sliders 23 pass through the slide rails 24. When the second conveyor chain 21 rotates, the sliders 23 move along the slide rails 24, thereby driving the sliders 23 to move away from the conveying mechanism 1. Simultaneously, this causes the flowers to move away from the conveying mechanism 1, thus adjusting the depth at which the flowers are embedded in the trumpet-shaped opening. Combined with the trumpet-shaped opening formed by the gathering plate 12, this effectively improves the gathering effect on the flowers, allowing the flowers extending laterally to extend forward and converge, reducing the difficulty of handling the flowers.

[0043] The petal removal mechanism 3 is located on the opposite side of the conveying mechanism 1 relative to the flower gathering mechanism. Flowers are conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1 to the petal removal mechanism 3 for petal removal. This application utilizes a funnel-shaped opening formed by two gathering plates 12 on the conveying mechanism 1. A flower position adjustment mechanism 2 pulls the flowers into the funnel, thus gathering the flowers and extending them towards the petal removal mechanism 3, ensuring that the petal removal mechanism 3 can completely remove all the flowers from the flower material. This equipment can quickly remove flowers from flower materials, effectively improving the pre-processing efficiency of flower materials and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0044] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, a T-shaped groove 221 is recessed on the base, and one end of the slider 23 is embedded in the groove 221, thus allowing the slider 23 to move only within the groove 221. This effectively prevents the slider 23 from disengaging from the groove 221 and improves the stability of the flower position adjustment mechanism 2. Simultaneously, it effectively limits the distance the slider 23 can displace.

[0045] The entrance of the slide 24 is funnel-shaped, which effectively ensures that when the slider 23 initially enters the slide 24, the slider 23 can smoothly slide into the slide 24 from any position in the slide groove 221.

[0046] In some embodiments, one end of the slide 221 is closed by a fixed baffle integrally formed with the base, and the other end is closed by a movable baffle. The movable baffle is fixed to the base by fasteners such as screws or bolts. In this way, the slider 23 is easier to install onto the slide 221, and the difficulty of installing and maintaining the slider 23 is reduced.

[0047] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive sprockets of the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 are coaxially fixed together, and the drive sprockets of the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 are the same size, thereby enabling the first conveyor chain 11 and the second conveyor chain 21 to have the same conveying speed, effectively ensuring that the flowers can be transported stably under the clamping of the two first conveyor chains 11 and the two second conveyor chains 21.

[0048] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, flexible pads 111 are spaced apart on the upper part of the first conveyor chain 11. Adjacent flexible pads 111 are connected to each other to form a continuous flexible pad between the effective conveying sections of the two first conveyor chains 11. This reduces the damage to the flower stems when the two first conveyor chains 11 clamp the flower, which is beneficial to improving the quality of preserved flower products. At the same time, the flexible pads 111 can reduce the clamping strength of the two first conveyor chains 11 on the flower stems, making it easier for the flower stems to adjust their position under the clamping action of the two first conveyor chains 11. It can also reduce the damage to the flower stems when the flower position adjustment mechanism 2 drags the flower to move, thereby improving the quality of preserved flower products.

[0049] In some embodiments, the flower position adjustment mechanism 2 further includes two guide rods 241 arranged opposite to each other, forming a slide 24 between the two guide rods 241. The guide rods 241 can be connected to the frame of the second conveyor chain 21 through connecting rods or the like, thereby fixing the slide 24 in a designated position.

[0050] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the guide rod 241 is gradually tilted to one side of the second conveyor chain 21 along the conveying direction of the second conveyor chain 21, thus gradually tilting to one side of the second conveyor chain 21. When the slider 23 moves along the guide rod 241 under the drive of the second conveyor chain 21, the slider 23 gradually tilts to one side of the second conveyor chain 21, thereby dragging the flowers to move.

[0051] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the petal removal mechanism 3 includes a main removal roller 31 and a secondary removal roller 32 arranged parallel to each other. Rake nails 33 are respectively provided on the main removal roller 31 and the secondary removal roller 32, and the rake nails 33 on the main removal roller 31 and the secondary removal roller 32 are staggered. The main removal roller 31 and the secondary removal roller 32 are driven to rotate by a motor, and the main removal roller 31 and the secondary removal roller 32 rotate relative to each other. When the flower material moves between the main removal roller 31 and the secondary removal roller 32 under the transport of the conveying mechanism 1, the rotating rake nails 33 remove the flower. The flower removal efficiency is high and the manual labor intensity is low.

[0052] In some embodiments, the rotational speed of the auxiliary removal roller 32 is greater than that of the main removal roller 31, and the rigidity of the rake nails 33 on the main removal roller 31 is greater than that of the rake nails 33 on the auxiliary removal roller 32. When removing flowers, the rake nails 33 on the main removal roller 31 are used as the main striking object to knock the flowers off. The rake nails 33 on the auxiliary removal roller 32, which rotates faster, are mainly used to press the flowers on the flower material against the main removal roller 31, so that the flowers can fully contact the rake nails 33 on the main removal roller 31, thereby ensuring that all the flowers on the flower material can be removed cleanly. At the same time, the rake nails 33 on the auxiliary removal roller 32, which rotates faster, can effectively remove the flowers attached to the rake nails 33 on the main removal roller 31, effectively avoiding the material blockage problem caused by too many flowers attached to the main removal roller 31, which is conducive to the stable operation of the petal removal mechanism 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, the main removal roller 31 and the auxiliary removal roller 32 are gradually inclined closer to the conveying mechanism 1 along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, so that the petal removal mechanism 3 gradually removes the flowers from the end of the flower material to the root, effectively avoiding the problem that the flowers at the end of the flower material are too dense and the flowers are not removed cleanly. At the same time, it can effectively avoid the problem that the flower stems are also removed due to the flowers being too dense at the beginning, which is conducive to improving the quality of preserved flower products.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rake nail 33 is a flexible rake nail 33, which effectively reduces the damage to the flower stem when the rake nail 33 hits the flower, and helps to improve the quality of preserved flower products.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention; the dimensions of the drawings are not related to the specific physical object, and the physical object dimensions can be arbitrarily changed.
