Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a raisin softening technology, in particular to a raisin softening device for processing raisins. Background Art

[0002] The dried grapes are hung in bunches in the drying room and kept ventilated and dried in the shade. The raisins made by this shade-drying method are of excellent quality, translucent and do not change color. After about 55 days, the grapes will be dried by dry hot air and become raisins. The raisins are taken down from the drying room, stacked for 2 to 3 weeks to dry evenly, and finally the stalks are removed. In order to ensure that the raisins taste the best, the dried raisins need to be softened, which requires the use of a softening mechanism.

[0003] A Chinese invention patent with publication number CN111972639B discloses a raisin softening device and a softening processing method thereof. The raisin softening device and the softening processing method thereof utilize a humidifier to atomize the drawn-in water, remove calcium ions and magnesium ions, spray the water through the nozzle of the nozzle, and spray it into the inner cavity of the humidifier through a mesh plate with an aperture of 2 to 4 mm, and finally soften the raisins in the softening filter cartridge to achieve batch softening operations instead of manpower. The outer walls of several arc-shaped support plates are all embedded with steel balls that protrude 4 to 6 mm from the surface wall of the arc-shaped support plates and can rotate freely. The spherical structure of the softening filter cartridge can be freely rolled in the rolling support mechanism by hand, so that the raisins in the inner cavity of the softening filter cartridge roll in the inner cavity of the softening filter cartridge, thereby improving the softening efficiency.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention; the terms "first", "second", and "third" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, 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 directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] Example: See Figure 1-Figure 8 A softening device for raisin processing includes a connecting block 1, a supporting plate 11 is arranged at the end of the connecting block 1, an extension block 12 is arranged at one end of the supporting plate 11, and a power member 13 is arranged at the other end, and a screening component 2 is arranged at the output end of the power member 13. The screening component 2 is used to screen the size of the raisins and evenly distribute them during the softening operation.

[0037] In this solution, the connecting block 1 is on a flipping device, and the angle of the entire component can be adjusted through the flipping device to make it suitable for different scenarios. At the same time, the power part 13 is a device with power output such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. The entire screening component 2 is driven by the power part 13 to rotate the screening component 2, wherein the outer surface of the screening component 2 is engaged with the outer surface of the support plate 11, so that the whole remains stable when the screening component 2 rotates.

[0038] Furthermore, the screening assembly 2 includes a base plate 21 connected to the power member 13, a driving member 22 is arranged at the middle position of the upper end of the base plate 21, a rotating gear 23 is arranged at the output end of the driving member 22, a fixed block 27 is arranged at the upper end of the rotating gear 23, and a plurality of groups of limiting rods 26 are arranged on the outer surface of the fixed block 27, and the plurality of groups of limiting rods 26 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the fixed block 27.

[0039] In this embodiment, the driving member 22 is a device with power output such as a motor, and is connected to an external control device. When the driving member 22 is started, it synchronously drives the rotating gear 23 arranged at its output end to rotate. At the same time, a limiting rod is arranged near the edge of the upper end of the base plate 21, and the upper end of the limiting rod is connected to the lower end of the adjustment plate 28.

[0040] Furthermore, a movable block 25 is slidably mounted on the outer surface of the limiting rod 26 , a transmission screw 24 is disposed at one end of the movable block 25 and below the limiting rod 26 , and the outer surface of the end of the transmission screw 24 meshes with the upper end of the rotating gear 23 .

[0041] Specifically, when the rotating gear 23 rotates, the transmission screw 24 is driven to rotate. Since the movable block 25 is arranged on the transmission screw 24 and cooperates with the limiting rod 26 to limit the movable block 25, the movable block 25 is synchronously driven to move.

[0042] Furthermore, an adjustment plate 28 is provided at the upper end of the fixed block 27, and a slide groove 281 corresponding to the movable block 25 is opened at the upper end of the adjustment plate 28. An adjustment block 282 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the slide groove 281, and the lower end of the adjustment block 282 is connected to the upper end of the movable block 25.

[0043] Specifically, when the movable block 25 moves, it synchronously drives the adjusting block 282 arranged at its upper end to move, wherein the adjusting block 282 is limited by the slide groove 281, thereby ensuring that the adjusting block 282 remains stable during movement, and at the same time, it slowly separates from the arc plate 29 during movement, so as to facilitate the removal of the raisins inside.

[0044] Furthermore, multiple groups of arc plates 29 are arranged around the upper end of the adjustment plate 28, and the multiple groups of arc plates 29 are surrounded into three groups of cylinders. At the same time, a gap is reserved between every two arc plates 29, and the outer surface of the adjustment block 282 is slidably connected to the two adjacent arc plates 29.

[0045] Specifically, the raisins to be screened are placed between the arc plates 29, and the gaps between the arc plates 29 are filled by the adjusting blocks 282, so that no leakage occurs when the raisins are screened.

[0046] At the same time, after sifting the raisins of different specifications, they are softened so that the raisins are heated evenly. When the smaller raisins on the outermost side are finished first, the regulating block 282 is moved to allow the heated raisins to be led out. In this way, the raisins of different specifications are processed.

[0047] The cross section of the adjusting block 282 increases from the outside to the inside, so that when the raisins in the first cylinder are led out, no gaps are generated in the second sleeve, thereby ensuring that raisins of different specifications are not mixed.

[0048] A collecting plate 271 is provided on the outer surface of the fixing block 27 and at the upper end of the limiting rod 26 , and the discharged impurities are collected by the collecting plate 271 .

[0049] Furthermore, the adjustment component 3 is assembled at the lower end of the extension block 12, and the raisins put into the multiple groups of arc plates 29 are pushed through the adjustment component 3, and the impurities in the raisins are discharged at the same time. The adjustment component 3 includes a fixed plate 31 connected to the extension block 12, and the lower end of the fixed plate 31 is provided with multiple groups of support columns 32, and the multiple groups of support columns 32 are evenly distributed at the lower end of the fixed plate 31. The lower end of the support column 32 is provided with a support plate 33, and the support plate 33 is semicircular.

[0050] In this embodiment, a device with a telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod is disposed on the upper end of the fixed plate 31 and is connected to an external control device, so that the entire adjustment assembly 3 can be driven to telescopically move through the electric telescopic rod.

[0051] At the same time, the entire device is supported by the support plate 33, and the entire component is confined within a certain space in cooperation with the support column 32, so that during operation, no raisins will enter the interior and interfere with subsequent operations.

[0052] Furthermore, a telescopic member 34 is disposed at the upper end of the support plate 33, and a ring 35 is disposed at the output end of the telescopic member 34. An elastic member 36 is sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic member 34, and the upper end of the elastic member 36 is connected to the ring 35, and the lower end is connected to the support plate 33.

[0053] Specifically, the telescopic member 34 is a device with a telescopic function such as an electric telescopic rod, and is connected to an external control device. When the telescopic member 34 is started, it synchronously drives the ring 35 set at its output end to move, wherein the elastic member 36 is an elastic member such as a spring, which is used to support the ring 35, so that when the raisins are squeezed, they can be buffered by the elastic member 36 to prevent the raisins from being subjected to a large squeezing force.

[0054] Furthermore, multiple groups of push rods 37 are rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the ring 35, and the multiple groups of push rods 37 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the ring 35. The inner wall of the support plate 33 is provided with a guide groove 39 corresponding to the push rod 37, and the inner wall of the guide groove 39 is slidably mounted with an adjustment rod 371.

[0055] A positioning block 372 is provided on the inner wall of the support plate 33 and on one side of the guide groove 39 , and the end of the positioning block 372 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the adjustment rod 371 , while the upper end of the adjustment rod 371 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the push rod 37 .

[0056] A sphere 38 is disposed at the lower end of the adjustment rod 371 , and the outer surface of the sphere 38 is in contact with the inner wall of the arc plate 29 .

[0057] Specifically, when the ring 35 moves, it synchronously drives the push rod 37 installed on its outer surface to move. Since the lower end of the push rod 37 is rotationally connected to the upper end of the adjusting rod 371, and the outer surface of the adjusting rod 371 is rotationally connected to the positioning block 372, when the adjusting rod 371 is subjected to force, it rotates around the end of the positioning block 372, thereby driving the ball 38 to move.

[0058] The ball 38 is made of rubber to ensure that the surface of the raisins will not be damaged when the raisins are pushed. At the same time, the ball 38 cooperates with the guide groove 39 to limit the adjustment rod 371 to prevent the adjustment rod 371 from falling off.

[0059] The ring 35 is driven to move by the telescopic member 34, and cooperates with the adjusting rod 371 to break up the accumulated raisins, so that the impurities remaining inside them fall onto the collecting plate 271 through the adjusting plate 28, wherein the adjusting plate 28 is provided with the same holes as the grid plate for removing the impurities inside the raisins.

[0060] The control device can select a single-chip microcomputer as the control end. In this embodiment, the single-chip microcomputer is a typical embedded microcontroller (Micro controller unit), which is composed of an arithmetic unit, a controller, a memory, an input and output device, etc., which is equivalent to a microcomputer. Compared with the general-purpose microprocessor used in personal computers, it emphasizes self-supply (no external hardware) and cost saving. Its biggest advantage is that it is small in size and can be placed inside the instrument, but it has a small storage capacity, a simple input and output interface, and low functional consumption.

[0061] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
