Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transportation for food processing, and in particular to a material conveying device for food processing. Background Art

[0002] In the process of food processing, it is generally necessary to use material conveying devices to move the food to be processed to speed up the work efficiency of food processing. As a condiment, peppers are very popular among people. Before deep processing, peppers need to be cut into sections. The chili sauce after cutting is more convenient to process and extract the aroma and spiciness of the peppers. At the same time, the surface area of ​​the peppers after cutting is increased, which is conducive to the better release of the flavor components in the peppers during the cooking process. In addition, cutting peppers into sections can better control the taste of the chili sauce and avoid the inconvenience of processing due to the peppers being too long during use.

[0003] Referring to the Chinese patent application document with publication number CN209651288U, the subject name is a device for uniformly distributing peppers. The device adjusts the uniformity of the peppers by setting a leveling rake and controlling the installation density of the leveling rake. At the same time, the sleeve is rotated by rotating the rotating rod to control the inclination angle of the leveling rake to control the amount of feed. At the same time, after the adjustment is completed, the pin is inserted into the socket after passing through the through hole to fix the inner cylinder in the sleeve, thereby realizing the positioning of the leveling rake and the arrangement of the peppers.

[0004] According to the above technical scheme, in the process of cutting the peppers into segments, the peppers need to be arranged in a direction perpendicular to the cutter first, and then the cutting process is carried out. Since the position of the peppers in the vertical direction is not restricted, more peppers are piled up in the vertical direction. When the peppers are cut into segments, the peppers are squeezed and damaged by the pressing roller. At this time, when there are fewer peppers in the vertical direction, they cannot be pressed by the pressing roller, which makes them unable to be well fixed during the cutting process, resulting in the problem of uneven cut segments. At the same time, when too many peppers are stacked in the vertical direction, the peppers at the bottom will be squeezed by the peppers stacked above, causing the peppers at the bottom to be broken or stacked on the guide trough. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present application provides a material conveying device for food processing, aiming to reduce the problem of irregular cutting caused by pepper stacking.

[0006] The material conveying device for food processing provided in the present application adopts the following technical scheme, including a mounting frame, a conveyor belt, a pressure roller and a cutter; a feed trough for storing peppers is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, a baffle plate parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt is fixedly connected in the feed trough, a sliding plate is slidably connected to the feed trough, the sliding plate can drive the peppers to move during the up and down movement, so that the peppers fall into the baffle plate, a moving rod is hinged on the sliding plate, a sliding push plate is hinged on the side of the moving rod away from the sliding plate, and the sliding push plate is used to push the peppers stacked in the vertical direction to fall.

[0007] The state of the peppers is driven by the sliding plate arranged in the feed trough, and the peppers are slowly moved into the middle position of two adjacent baffle plates and fall onto the conveyor belt to reduce the probability of the peppers being stacked in the feed trough and causing damage to the peppers below. By moving the sliding push plate, there is a high probability that only one pepper moves out of the feed trough in the horizontal and vertical directions, which reduces the pressure on the peppers at the bottom during cutting, causing the peppers to be damaged or incompletely cut.

[0008] Optionally, the feed chute is rotatably connected to a flap which can rotate around an axis of the connection when the sliding push plate moves up, and the flap is used to push the material on the feed chute to move to a certain extent.

[0009] Optionally, an auxiliary push plate is fixedly connected to the flap for assisting the flap to flip the peppers.

[0010] The peppers may accumulate in the feed trough due to their different states, causing blockage. The flap can help disperse the peppers and prevent them from clogging the feed trough. At the same time, by turning the peppers, it can ensure that the peppers fall evenly onto the conveyor belt to a certain extent, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the sliding push plate, and the protrusion is set to a trapezoidal shape. An adjustment plate is connected to the mounting frame for transverse sliding. The adjustment plate is used to adjust the position of the peppers when sliding transversely. A pushing rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate, and the pushing rod can abut against the waist edge of the protrusion, so that the protrusion can drive the adjusting plate to slide transversely. A reset spring is fixedly connected to the connection between the adjusting plate and the mounting frame for driving the adjusting plate to reset.

[0012] By further adjusting the position of the peppers, it can be ensured to a certain extent that the peppers can be cut according to the predetermined cutting position and size, thereby improving the standardization of the products. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the peppers, the adjustment time of the cutter can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0013] Optionally, a sliding mechanism is provided in the mounting frame for driving the sliding plate to slide longitudinally.

[0014] Optionally, the sliding mechanism includes a rotating motor fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame, a rotating disk fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the distal end of the rotating disk, an adjusting rod rotatably connected to the connecting rod, the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the sliding plate and can drive the sliding plate to slide longitudinally.

[0015] When it is necessary to drive the sliding plate to slide longitudinally, start the rotating motor, the output shaft of the rotating motor rotates to drive the rotating disk to rotate, the rotating disk drives the connecting rod to move, the connecting rod drives the adjusting rod to move up and down, and then drives the sliding plate to slide longitudinally.

[0016] Optionally, a cylinder is provided at the connection between the cutter and the mounting frame, and the cylinder is used to drive the cutter to slide longitudinally on the conveyor belt to cut the pepper into sections.

[0017] Optionally, a tension spring is provided at the connection between the pressing roller and the mounting frame for driving the pressing roller to move toward a side close to the conveyor belt, and the tension spring is used to drive the pressing roller to abut against the peppers.

[0018] The pre-tightening force is provided by the tension spring, thereby reducing the damage of the peppers caused by the fixed position of the pressing roller during the pressing process of the peppers.

[0019] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. The sliding plate arranged in the feed trough drives the state of the peppers, and makes the peppers slowly enter the middle position of two adjacent baffle plates and fall onto the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the probability of the peppers stacked in the feed trough causing the peppers at the bottom to be damaged. By moving the sliding push plate, the peppers moving outward from the feed trough are kept in the vertical direction in a single placement as much as possible, thereby reducing the pressure on the peppers at the bottom during cutting, causing the peppers to be damaged or incompletely cut.

[0021] 2. The peppers may accumulate in the feed trough due to their different states, causing blockage. The flap can help disperse the peppers to prevent them from clogging the feed trough. At the same time, by turning the peppers, it can ensure that the peppers fall evenly onto the conveyor belt to a certain extent, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0022] 3. Further adjustment of the position of the peppers can ensure that the peppers can be cut according to the predetermined cutting position and size to a certain extent, thereby improving the standardization of the products. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the peppers, the adjustment time of the cutter can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the embodiments of the present application. Figure 1-Figure 8 , the technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiment of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a material conveying device for food processing, including a mounting frame 1 placed on a horizontal plane, the mounting frame 1 is rotatably connected with a conveyor belt 11, the conveyor belt 11 is used to drive the peppers to move, a feeding trough 2 for storing the peppers is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, a baffle plate 21 parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 is fixedly connected in the feeding trough 2, a sliding plate 3 is slidably connected to the feeding trough 2, the sliding plate 3 can drive the peppers to move during the up and down movement, so that the peppers fall into the baffle plate 21, a moving rod 31 is hinged on the sliding plate 3, a sliding push plate 32 is hinged on the side of the moving rod 31 away from the sliding plate 3, the sliding push plate 32 is used to push the peppers stacked in the vertical direction to fall onto the conveyor belt 11, and a pressing roller 12 is respectively arranged at one end of the mounting frame 1 away from the feeding trough 2, the pressing roller 12 is used to press the peppers for easy cutting, and a cutting knife 13 for cutting the peppers is slidably connected in front of the pressing roller 12.

[0034] The peppers are poured into the feed trough 2. Due to the inconsistent state of the peppers, a part of the peppers perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 11 will be blocked on the baffle plate 21, and the remaining peppers are blocked from continuing to fall onto the conveyor belt 11. At this time, the sliding plate 3 moves up and down, driving the peppers perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 to rotate slowly, so that the peppers are changed from perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 to parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11, and at this time the peppers all move downward onto the conveyor belt 11, and the conveyor belt 11 is started, so that the conveyor belt 11 drives the material to move close to the pressing roller 12. When it moves to the sliding push plate 32, the sliding push plate 32 slides parallel to the direction of the conveyor belt 11, so that the peppers accumulated in the vertical direction move backward, so that there is only one pepper in the vertical direction, so that the pressing roller 12 presses one end of the pepper, and the cutter 13 moves up and down during the movement to cut the peppers into sections.

[0035] The state of the peppers is driven by the sliding plate 3 set in the feed trough 2, and the peppers are slowly moved into the middle position of the two adjacent baffle plates 21 and fall onto the conveyor belt 11 to reduce the probability of the peppers being stacked in the feed trough 2 and causing the peppers located below to be damaged. By moving the sliding push plate 32, there is a high probability that there is only one pepper moving outward from the feed trough 2 in the horizontal and vertical directions, which reduces the pressure on the peppers at the bottom from the peppers above during cutting, while the pressure on the peppers at the top is relatively small, resulting in incomplete cutting. At the same time, it can reduce the damage or crushing of the peppers due to excessive accumulation of peppers, thereby improving product quality.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A flap 4 is rotatably connected to the feed chute 2 and can rotate around the axis of the connection when the sliding push plate 32 moves upward. The flap 4 is used to push the material on the feed chute 2 to move to a certain extent. At the same time, an auxiliary push plate 41 is fixedly connected to the flap 4 to assist the flap 4 in turning the peppers.

[0037] When the sliding plate 3 moves upward, the flap 4 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the flap 4 flips the peppers above the flap 4, so that the peppers move to the side away from the flap 4.

[0038] The peppers may accumulate in the feed trough 2 due to their different states, causing blockage. The flap 4 can help disperse the peppers and prevent them from clogging the feed trough 2. At the same time, by flipping the peppers, it can ensure that the peppers fall evenly onto the conveyor belt 11 to a certain extent, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A protrusion 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding push plate 32, and the protrusion 5 is set to be trapezoidal. An adjusting plate 51 is horizontally slidably connected to the mounting frame 1, and a pushing rod 53 that can abut against the trapezoidal waist edge of the protrusion 5 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 51. The protrusion 5 can drive the pushing rod 53 to move to a certain extent, and after the pushing rod 53 moves, the pushing rod 53 drives the adjusting plate 51 to slide horizontally in the horizontal direction, and during the sliding process of the adjusting plate 51, the adjusting plate 51 can adjust the state of the peppers on the conveyor belt 11 so that the peppers are relatively kept parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11. A reset spring 52 is fixedly connected at the connection between the adjusting plate 51 and the mounting frame 1, and the reset spring 52 is used to drive the adjusting plate 51 to reset.

[0040] When the sliding plate 3 moves downward, it pushes the sliding push plate 32 to move closer to the adjusting plate 51. During the movement, the protrusion 5 on the sliding push plate 32 pushes the adjusting plate 51 to slide to both sides to adjust the relative position of the peppers. After the adjustment, the sliding push plate 32 moves away from the adjusting plate 51, and the reset spring 52 pulls the adjusting plate 51 to reset.

[0041] By further adjusting the position of the peppers, it can be ensured to a certain extent that the peppers can be cut according to the predetermined cutting position and size, thereby improving the standardization of the products. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the peppers, the adjustment time of the cutter 13 can be reduced, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0042] Reference Figure 4A sliding mechanism 6 for driving the sliding plate 3 to slide longitudinally is provided on the mounting frame 1. The sliding mechanism 6 includes a rotating motor 61 fixedly connected to the inside of the mounting frame 1. A rotating disk 62 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 61. A connecting rod 63 is fixedly connected to the distal end of the rotating disk 62. An adjusting rod 64 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 63. The adjusting rod 64 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 3 and can drive the sliding plate 3 to slide longitudinally.

[0043] When it is necessary to drive the sliding plate 3 to slide longitudinally, start the rotating motor 61, the output shaft of the rotating motor 61 rotates to drive the rotating disk 62 to rotate, the rotating disk 62 drives the connecting rod 63 to move, so that the connecting rod 63 drives the adjusting rod 64 to move up and down, thereby driving the sliding plate 3 to slide longitudinally.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 A cylinder 7 for adjusting the cutter 13 to cut the pepper downward is provided at the connection between the cutter 13 and the mounting frame 1. A tension spring 8 for driving the press roller 12 to move toward the side close to the conveyor belt 11 is provided at the connection between the press roller 12 and the mounting frame 1. The tension spring 8 is used to drive the press roller 12 to contact the pepper.

[0045] When the pepper moves to the bottom of the pressing roller 12, the pepper pushes the pressing roller 12 to move upward, and provides a pre-tightening force to the pepper after the movement, so that the pepper is convenient for the cutter 13 to cut the pepper. During the movement of the conveyor belt 11, the pepper is driven to continue to move toward the cutter 13. After the movement is completed, the spring 8 is tightened to drive the pressing roller 12 to return to its original state.

[0046] The pre-tightening force is provided by the tension spring 8, thereby reducing the damage of the peppers due to the fixed position of the pressing roller 12 during the pressing process of the peppers.

[0047] The implementation principle of the material conveying device for food processing in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the peppers are poured into the feed trough 2. Due to the inconsistent state of the peppers, a part of the peppers that are perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 11 will be blocked on the baffle plate 21, and the remaining peppers will be blocked from continuing to fall onto the conveyor belt 11. The rotating motor 61 is started, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 61 rotates to drive the rotating disk 62 to rotate. The rotating disk 62 drives the connecting rod 63 to move, so that the connecting rod 63 drives the adjusting rod 64 to move up and down, and then drives the sliding plate 3 to slide longitudinally, so that the peppers fall onto the conveyor belt 11.

[0048] Start the conveyor belt 11, so that the conveyor belt 11 drives the material to move toward the pressing roller 12. When it moves to the sliding push plate 32, the sliding push plate 32 slides parallel to the direction of the conveyor belt 11, so that the peppers piled up in the vertical direction move backward, so that there is only one pepper in the vertical direction, and the pressing roller 12 presses one end of the pepper. During the movement, the cutter 13 moves up and down to cut the pepper into sections.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0050] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
