Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing equipment, and more specifically to a fermentation outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing of food condiments such as soy sauce and vinegar, as well as alcoholic beverages, the cultivation of starter culture is a very important process. During the cultivation of starter culture, the starter culture and other materials are evenly spread on several equal-sized trays and placed in a cultivation chamber for expansion cultivation.

[0003] A koji tray is typically a rectangular, open container with a bottom and raised rims on all four sides. The bottom is perforated and can be made of wire mesh or a perforated plate. During the cultivation process, the koji produces a large amount of mycelium and spores. The mycelium penetrates the perforations at the bottom of the tray and adheres firmly to it. After cultivation, the koji needs to be separated from the tray for subsequent processing.

[0004] Currently, the industry still largely relies on manual scraping of the koji trays for separation. To improve koji discharge efficiency, some use automated koji discharge equipment for scraping. However, existing automated koji discharge equipment is not thorough, leaving significant residue. For example, patent CN219385097U discloses a device for processing koji tray mycelium, which uses a loosening claw mechanism to loosen the koji and then allows it to fall off by its own weight for separation. However, during the falling process, the mycelium passes through the holes at the bottom of the tray and firmly adheres to it, resulting in a large amount of koji residue.

[0005] Meanwhile, because the existing automatic koji dispensing equipment uses a koji tray with a 90-degree angle between the perimeter and the bottom surface, the angle between the perimeter and the bottom surface easily forms a scraping dead corner. When separating the koji tray, it is impossible to scrape as precisely and finely as manually, whether using a scraper or other methods, resulting in a lot of koji material residue in the scraping dead corner of the koji tray. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problem of residual koji material in existing koji-discharging devices, this invention provides a koji-discharging device, comprising: a frame, one end of which has a scraping chamber, and the scraping chamber has a horizontally arranged discharging plate position;

[0007] The scraping plate inlet and outlet mechanism is set in the frame and located outside the scraping chamber, including a plate outlet push rod, which is horizontally set at the plate outlet position;

[0008] The curved plate flipping mechanism is set in the scraping chamber and includes a flipping base plate and a flipping shaft rotatably connected to the flipping base plate. The flipping base plate has a first bearing surface and a second bearing surface. The first bearing surface or the second bearing surface clamps the curved plate and alternately moves to the plate exit position by flipping.

[0009] The scraper mechanism, located below the scraping chamber, includes a height-adjustable scraper assembly, a blade holder on which the scraper assembly is mounted, and a spring support connected to the blade holder. The spring support includes an upper support connected to the blade holder, a lower support connected to the upper support via a guide shaft, and a compression spring wound around the guide shaft. The compression spring supports the upper support above the lower support and is compressed when the upper support is pressed down. The plate exit position has an exit push rod inlet and a curved plate outlet. The scraper assembly is located below the curved plate outlet. The direction of curved plate transport is from the exit push rod inlet to the curved plate outlet. The upper support also has a contour wheel. The curved plate in / out mechanism also has a contour track fixed relative to the exit push rod. The contour of the contour track is the same as the contour of the curved plate. The exit push rod and the contour track move synchronously along the curved plate transport direction. During the process of the exit push rod pushing the curved plate away from the exit position, the relative position between the contour wheel and the contour track remains the same as the relative position between the scraper assembly and the curved plate at the exit position. The contour wheel moves along the contour track and drives the scraper assembly to move synchronously.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the curved disc and the contouring track have the same contour. The curved push plate moves synchronously with the contouring track. When the contouring wheel moves along the contouring track, it will drive the scraper assembly to move along the contour of the contouring track through the upper bracket and compression spring. The scraper assembly will move synchronously within the curved disc based on the movement of the contouring wheel and perform scraping. This allows the scraper assembly to fit the contour of the curved disc as closely as possible without damaging the curved disc and to perform all-round scraping, effectively reducing the residue of the curved material.

[0011] Optionally, the angle between the bottom surface of the crank and the surrounding edge is an obtuse angle, and the scraper assembly is an auger or a scraper that conforms to the contour of the crank.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, by setting the angle between the bottom surface of the curved disc and its surrounding edges to an obtuse angle, when using an auger for scraping, the auger can cut and crush the material during scraping. Furthermore, the auger blades can closely fit the obtuse angle of the curved disc, avoiding scraping dead angles and effectively reducing material residue in the disc after scraping. This also improves the ease and reliability of scraping. Additionally, when using a scraper for scraping, the scraper can fit snugly against the bottom and edges of the curved disc, similarly avoiding scraping dead angles and reducing material residue.

[0013] Optionally, the scraper mechanism is also equipped with a pusher cylinder. The piston rod of the pusher cylinder is connected to the lower support, which drives the lower support and the upper support to move closer to or away from the scraping chamber, and correspondingly drives the scraper assembly to move closer to or away from the discharge position.

[0014] Optionally, the scraping chamber also has an inlet position located above and parallel to the outlet position, and the scraping plate inlet / outlet mechanism is further provided with an inlet push rod horizontally positioned at the inlet position.

[0015] The infeed push rod and the outfeed push rod reciprocate synchronously in the direction of the curved plate conveying. The infeed push rod pushes the curved plate into the infeed position, while the outfeed push rod pushes the curved plate in the second bearing surface away from the outfeed position and the curved material is scraped off by the scraper assembly.

[0016] According to the above technical solution, by moving the infeed push rod and the outfeed push rod synchronously, the curved plate in the outfeed position can be pushed out at the same time as the curved plate is pushed into the infeed position and then scraped by the scraper. This allows the three actions of inputting the curved plate to be scraped, scraping the curved plate, and outputting the curved plate after scraping to be performed simultaneously, realizing the simultaneous input, output, and scraping of the curved plate, which effectively improves the output efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, the crank plate entry / exit mechanism also includes:

[0018] The mounting base is fixedly installed in the frame;

[0019] A movable base that can be slidably fitted onto a fixed base;

[0020] The cylinders are for inlet and outlet, and the piston rods of the cylinders are connected to the moving seat. The inlet push rod, outlet push rod, and contour track are all connected to the moving seat and their relative positions are fixed.

[0021] According to the above technical solution, the infeed push rod and the outfeed push rod can maintain a fixed position and move synchronously, ensuring that when the curved disc is pushed into the infeed position, the curved disc at the outfeed position can be pushed out synchronously. At the same time, the outfeed push rod and the contouring track can maintain a fixed position and move synchronously, ensuring that during the process of the curved disc being pushed away from the outfeed position by the outfeed push rod for scraping, the contouring wheel moves along the contouring track and synchronously drives the scraper assembly to move in accordance with the contour of the curved disc.

[0022] Optionally, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are mirror-symmetrically arranged, and the flipping shaft drives the flipping base plate to alternately rotate 180° forward and 180° backward, so that the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are alternately located at the inlet position and the outlet position.

[0023] According to the above technical solution, after the infeed pusher and the outfeed pusher simultaneously push the curved plate into the infeed position and push the curved plate away from the outfeed position, the two bearing surfaces can be replaced by flipping the base plate to perform the scraping operation cycle, which effectively improves the curing efficiency.

[0024] Optionally, the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface are provided with flip-up side plates on both sides located in the conveying direction of the curved disk. The flip-up side plate includes a bottom plate provided on the flip-up base plate and a top plate provided on the top of the base plate. The distance between the top plate and the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface is greater than the thickness of the curved disk.

[0025] According to the above technical solution, the bottom plate can limit the side of the crank plate, and the top plate can limit the crank plate in the height direction, further ensuring that the crank plate is stably located in the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface, and preventing the crank plate from falling or shifting during the flipping process.

[0026] Optionally, the top plate is provided with multiple spring clamping assemblies to clamp the crank plate entering the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface. The spring clamping assemblies include:

[0027] Spring seat, installed in the top plate;

[0028] The adjusting screw is located in the spring seat;

[0029] Spring, surrounding the adjusting screw;

[0030] A ball bearing contacts the spring and is located at one end of the spring seat near the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface. The ball bearing has an exposed spherical surface on the outside of the spring seat, and the distance between the exposed spherical surface and the first bearing surface or the second bearing surface is less than the thickness of the disc.

[0031] According to the above technical solution, the rolling ball contacts the spring inside the spring seat, while part of the rolling ball protrudes from the spring seat. When the curved plate enters, it will contact the exposed spherical surface of the rolling ball and press the rolling ball upward, causing the spring to be compressed. The curved plate can be clamped by the downward pressure of the spring, without the need for additional clamping and confirmation actions, effectively saving the clamping time and further improving the output efficiency.

[0032] Optionally, one end of the flip shaft is provided with a limiting component, and the other end is connected to a flip motor. The limiting component includes a first limiting rod and a second limiting rod that are offset from each other, a proximity switch disposed below the first limiting rod and the second limiting rod, and a first limiting block and a second limiting block.

[0033] One end of both the first and second limiting rods is connected to the flipping shaft and rotates with it. The other end of the first limiting rod is the first limiting end, and the other end of the second limiting rod is the second limiting end.

[0034] The proximity switch is electrically connected to the flip motor. When the flip shaft rotates 180° clockwise, the first limit end rotates to the proximity switch position, the flip motor stops, and the first limit end contacts the first limit block. When the flip shaft rotates 180° counterclockwise, the second limit end rotates to the proximity switch position, the flip motor stops, and the second limit end contacts the second limit block.

[0035] According to the above technical solution, the first limit rod and the second limit rod are connected to the flipping shaft and rotate synchronously. When the flipping base plate rotates 180° clockwise or 180° counterclockwise, the proximity switch controls the flipping motor to stop by detecting the first limit end or the second limit end. At the same time, the first limit block or the second limit block will contact the first limit end or the second limit end and block and limit it, which can ensure that the position of the flipping base plate is fixed before and after flipping, thereby ensuring that the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface can be accurately located at the inlet position or the outlet position after flipping.

[0036] Optionally, it also includes a collection hopper and a tray feeding mechanism, with the collection hopper located below the scraping chamber and the tray feeding mechanism located outside the tray outlet position along the tray conveying direction.

[0037] According to the above technical solution, the scraped material can be collected by the collection hopper, and the scraped material can be automatically transported to the next process device by the feeding mechanism, ensuring a smooth transition of the material transport.

Detailed Implementation

[0055] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the koji-producing device in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a side view of the bending device in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a churn-out device 100 in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a churn-out mechanism 2, a churn-out flipping mechanism 3, a churn-out clamping mechanism 4, a scraper mechanism 5, a collection hopper 6, and a churn-out feeding mechanism 7.

[0058] The frame 1 has a scraping chamber 11 at one end, and the scraping chamber 11 has a tray inlet position 111 and a tray outlet position 112 located at different heights and parallel to each other.

[0059] The plate outlet position 112 has a plate outlet push rod inlet and a curved plate outlet, and the plate outlet push rod inlet to the curved plate outlet is the curved plate conveying direction.

[0060] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the crank plate entry / exit mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a side view of the crank plate entry / exit mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the disc inlet / outlet mechanism 2 is located in the frame 1 and outside the scraping chamber 11, and includes an inlet push rod 21, an outlet push rod 22, a contour track 23, a fixed seat 24, a movable seat 25, and an inlet / outlet cylinder 26.

[0062] Specifically, the fixed seat 24 is fixedly installed in the frame 1, the movable seat 25 is slidably sleeved on the fixed seat 24, and the piston rod 261 of the cylinder 26 is connected to the movable seat 25.

[0063] The infeed push rod 21, the outfeed push rod 22, and the contour track 23 are all connected to the movable seat 25 and maintain a fixed relative position. The piston rod 261 is driven by the infeed cylinder 26 to move in the direction of the curved plate conveying, which can drive the infeed push rod 21, the outfeed push rod 22, and the contour track 23 to move synchronously.

[0064] The infeed push rod 21 is horizontally positioned at the infeed position 111, and the discharge push rod 22 is horizontally positioned at the discharge position 112. The mounting base 24, fixed to the frame 1, ensures that the infeed push rod 21 and the discharge push rod 22 remain aligned with the infeed position 111 and the discharge push rod 22 remains aligned with the discharge position 112, thereby guaranteeing stable and synchronous pushing of the disc into and out of the disc.

[0065] In this embodiment, the movable seat 25 is provided with a moving auxiliary component, specifically, the moving auxiliary component is a roller 251. The roller 251 contacts the surface of the fixed seat 24, and the roller 251 can assist the movable seat 25 in moving by rolling on the fixed seat 24.

[0066] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with two curved plate support plates 27. The two curved plate support plates 27 are located on both sides of the plate entry push rod 21. The curved plate support plates 27 can be used to place the curved plate to be pushed into the plate entry position 111. The curved plate support plates 27 are set at a position slightly lower than the plate entry position 111, so that the plate entry push rod 21 can push the curved plate to the corresponding plate entry position 111.

[0067] In this embodiment, the frame 1 is provided with a tray guide seat 28, which is located between the curved plate bearing plate 27 and the tray entry position 111. The tray guide seat 28 is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end in sequence along the curved plate conveying direction, and the inlet end is set at a gentle slope.

[0068] Specifically, the inlet end of the tray guide seat 28 is open, and the width of the open end is greater than the thickness of the curved tray. The gently inclined inlet end can guide the curved tray to be smoothly transported to the tray position 111.

[0069] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the disc flipping mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a side view of the disc flipping mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the disc flipping mechanism 3 is disposed in the scraping chamber 11, including a flipping base plate 31 and a flipping shaft 32 rotatably connected to the flipping base plate 31. The flipping base plate 31 has a first bearing surface 311 and a second bearing surface 312 arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner. The flipping shaft 32 drives the flipping base plate 31 to flip horizontally, so that the first bearing surface 311 and the second bearing surface 312 are alternately located at the disc inlet position 111 and the disc outlet position 112.

[0071] The first bearing surface 311 and the second bearing surface 312 are provided with flip side plates 313 on both sides located in the conveying direction of the curved disk. The flip side plate 313 includes a base plate 3131 connected to the flip bottom plate 31 and a top plate 3132 disposed at the top of the base plate 3131. The distance between the top plate 3132 and the first bearing surface 311 or the second bearing surface 312 is greater than the thickness of the curved disk.

[0072] Specifically, the base plate 3131 is vertically disposed on the first bearing surface 311 or the second bearing surface 312, which can limit the side of the crank plate. The top plate 3132 is disposed at the top of the base plate 3131, and the crank plate can be limited in the height direction by the spring clamping assembly 41 disposed in the top plate 3132.

[0073] In this embodiment, the flip-up side plates 313 located on both sides of the first bearing surface 311 cooperate with the first bearing surface 311 to form a first working position, and the flip-up side plates 313 located on both sides of the second bearing surface 312 cooperate with the first bearing surface 311 to form a second working position. The spring clamping assembly 41 can ensure that the position of the curved plate is fixed. The first working position and the second working position follow the flip-up base plate 31 to perform 180° forward and reverse rotation and alternately occupy the infeed position 111 and the outfeed position 112, respectively, to push in and clamp or push out and scrape the curved plate.

[0074] In this embodiment, the flip base plate 31 is integrally connected with the flip shaft 32. Two flip mounting plates 33 are connected in the frame 1. The two ends of the flip shaft 32 are correspondingly installed in the flip mounting plates 33, and bearings are provided at both ends of the flip shaft 32 to facilitate rotation. One end of the flip shaft 32 is connected to a flip motor 321, which can drive the flip base plate 31 to rotate around the flip shaft 32 as the central axis.

[0075] The other end of the flip shaft 32 is provided with a limiting component. The limiting component includes a first limiting rod 341 and a second limiting rod 342 that are offset from each other, and a proximity switch 343 disposed below the first limiting rod 341 and the second limiting rod 342. Figure 6 (not shown in the image) and the first limiting block 344, the second limiting block 345 ( Figure 6 (Not shown in the image).

[0076] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 One end of the first limiting rod 341 and the second limiting rod 342 are both connected to the flipping shaft 32. The first limiting rod 341 and the second limiting rod 342 can rotate coaxially with the flipping base plate 31. The other end of the first limiting rod 341 is the first limiting end 3411, and the other end of the second limiting rod 342 is the second limiting end 3421. The proximity switch 343 is electrically or communicatively connected to the flipping motor 321. When the first limiting end 3411 or the second limiting end 3421 is detected, the flipping motor 321 is controlled to stop rotating.

[0077] The included angle between the flip base plate 31 and the limiting rod is fixed at 90°, and the included angle between the first limiting rod 341 and the second limiting rod 342 is fixed at 180°. The first limiting rod 341 and the second limiting rod 342 are staggered and located in different rotational planes when rotating. The first limiting rod 341 and the first limiting block 344 are located on the same rotational plane, and the second limiting rod 342 and the second limiting block 345 are located on the same rotational plane.

[0078] When the rotating shaft 32 rotates 180° clockwise, the first limit end 3411 rotates to the position of the proximity switch 343. After the proximity switch 343 detects the first limit end 3411, the rotating motor 321 stops rotating. At the same time, the first limit end 3411 contacts the first limit block 344, which blocks and limits the rotation.

[0079] When the rotating shaft 32 rotates 180°, the second limit end 3421 rotates to the position of the proximity switch 343. After the proximity switch 343 detects the second limit end 3421, the rotating motor 321 stops rotating. At the same time, the second limit end 3421 contacts the second limit block 345, which blocks and limits the rotation.

[0080] After the flipping base plate 31 completes horizontal flipping, the position of the first limit end 3411 or the second limit end 3421 can be detected by the proximity switch 343, which can automatically control the drive motor to stop. At the same time, the first limit block 344 or the second limit block 345 can block and limit the movement, preventing the first limit rod 341 and the second limit rod 342 from continuing to move, so that the flipping base plate 31 can maintain a fixed position before and after rotating 180° forward or 180° backward.

[0081] In this embodiment, both the first limiting block 344 and the second limiting block 345 are connected to a buffer 346 via a connecting rod. The buffer 346 can buffer the impact force received by the first limiting rod 341 or the second limiting rod 342 when they contact the first limiting block 344 or the second limiting block 345. The buffer 346 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 347. By rotating the buffer 346, the extension length of the connecting rod can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the blocking and limiting position of the first limiting block 344 or the second limiting block 345, and further adjusting the limiting and fixing position of the flipping base plate 31.

[0082] The curved plate clamping mechanism 4 includes multiple spring clamping assemblies 41, which are respectively disposed in the first bearing surface 311 and the second bearing surface 312.

[0083] The spring clamping assembly 41 is disposed in the top plate 3132. The spring clamping assembly 41 includes a spring seat 411, an adjusting screw 412, a spring 413, and a ball bearing 414.

[0084] refer to Figure 9 A spring seat 411 is disposed in the top plate 3132, an adjusting screw 412 is disposed in the spring seat 411, and a spring 413 is disposed around the adjusting screw 412. A ball bearing 414 contacts the spring 413 and is located at one end of the spring seat 411 near the first bearing surface 311 or the second bearing surface 312.

[0085] In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 412 includes a nut 4121 with external threads and a screw 4122 connected to the nut 4121. The inner wall of the spring seat 411 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread. The spring 413 is arranged around the screw 4122, with one end of the spring 413 in contact with the nut 4121 and the other end in contact with the ball 414. By turning the nut 4121 downwards, the spring 413 can be compressed and deformed, increasing the preload of the spring 413. By turning the nut 4121 upwards, the spring 413 can be restored to its original deformation, reducing the preload of the spring 413. The preload of the spring 413 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw 412, thereby adjusting the clamping degree of the crank disc accordingly.

[0086] Furthermore, the ball 414 has an exposed spherical surface outside the spring seat 411, and the distance between the exposed spherical surface and the first bearing surface 311 or the second bearing surface 312 is less than the thickness of the disc.

[0087] In this embodiment, since the distance between the exposed spherical surface of the ball bearing 414 and the first bearing surface 311 or the second bearing surface 312 is less than the thickness of the curved disk, when the curved disk is pushed in, it will correspondingly compress the ball bearing 414 into the spring seat 411, thereby compressing the spring 413 and clamping and fixing the curved disk. Therefore, clamping can be achieved simply by pushing the curved disk in, without the need for additional clamping and confirmation actions, effectively saving the time required for clamping. At the same time, no additional loosening operation is required when the curved disk is pushed out; the disk ejection push rod 22 can directly push the curved disk away from the disk ejection position 112 by moving along the curved disk conveying direction.

[0088] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the scraper mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 This is a side view of the scraper mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0089] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the scraper mechanism 5 includes a scraper assembly 51, a blade holder 52, a spring support 53, and a pusher cylinder 54.

[0090] In this embodiment, the scraper assembly 51 is disposed below the crank plate outlet and installed in the blade holder 52.

[0091] The spring support 53 includes an upper support 531 connected to the tool holder 52, a lower support 533 connected to the upper support 531 via a guide shaft 532, and a compression spring 534 wound around the guide shaft 532.

[0092] The piston rod of the pusher cylinder 54 is connected to the lower support 533. The pusher cylinder 54 can drive the lower support 533 and the upper support 531 to move closer to or away from the scraping chamber 11, and correspondingly drive the scraper assembly 51 to move closer to or away from the plate exit position.

[0093] refer to Figure 12 In this embodiment, a linear bearing 535 is provided at the lower end of the lower support 533. One end of the guide shaft 532 is disposed inside the linear bearing 535 and passes through the lower support 533 and the upper support 531. The other end of the guide shaft 532 is connected to the upper support 531. A compression spring 534 is wound around the guide shaft 532, with one end in contact with the linear bearing 535 and the other end in contact with the upper support 531. The upper support 531 is located above the lower support 533 by the support of the compression spring 534, and the upper support 531 has a groove that can cover the lower support 533. When the upper support 531 is pressed down, it descends accordingly and partially covers the lower support 533. At the same time, the compression spring 534 is compressed. When the pressure is removed, the compression spring 534 returns to its original deformation, causing the upper support 531 to return to its original position.

[0094] In this embodiment, the upper support 531 is also provided with a plurality of lifting pulleys 5311. The lifting pulleys 5311 are in contact with the frame 1. During the lifting and lowering process of the upper support 531, the lifting pulleys 5311 roll on the frame 1 to assist in lifting and lowering, making it easier to lift and lower.

[0095] The upper support 531 is also equipped with a contour wheel 536. During the process of the plate pusher 22 pushing the curved plate away from the plate exit position, the relative position between the contour wheel 536 and the contour track 23 is the same as the relative position between the scraper assembly 51 and the curved plate located at the plate exit position 112.

[0096] Specifically, during the process of the ejector push rod 22 pushing the curved disc located on the second bearing surface 312 away from the ejector position and scraping it through the scraper assembly 51, the ejector push rod 22 and the contouring track 23 move synchronously, and the contouring wheel 536 moves along the contouring track 23. Since the contouring track 23 has the same contour as the curved disc, when the scraper assembly 51 encounters the edge of the curved disc, the contouring wheel 536 will be compressed by the contouring track 23, causing the upper support 531 to descend, the compression spring 534 to be compressed, and correspondingly driving the scraper assembly 51 to descend. Therefore, the movement of the contouring wheel 536 in close contact with the contouring track 23 can ensure that the scraper assembly 51 keeps as close as possible to the contour of the curved disc without damaging it during the scraping process, avoiding scraping dead angles.

[0097] Furthermore, the scraper assembly 51 is either an auger 511 or a scraper 512 that conforms to the contour of the crank plate.

[0098] refer to Figure 13 In this embodiment, the angle between the perimeter 201 around the curved disk 200 and the bottom surface 202 is an obtuse angle, specifically, the angle can be 135°.

[0099] refer to Figure 14When the scraper assembly 51 is an auger 511, the auger shaft is set perpendicular to the conveying direction of the curved disc. The auger shaft is connected to the drive motor, which drives the auger 511 to rotate and cut the material in the vertical direction to achieve the purpose of crushing. At the same time, the blades of the auger 511 can fit tightly with the obtuse angle of the curved disc 200 to avoid the formation of scraping dead angles and effectively reduce the material residue in the curved disc after scraping.

[0100] refer to Figure 15 When the scraper assembly 51 is a scraper 512, the scraper 512 is set perpendicular to the conveying direction of the curved disk. The shape of the scraper 512 fits the outline of the curved disk 200. The scraper 512 can fit tightly inside the curved disk 200. When scraping, it can scrape the bottom surface of the curved disk 200 and the angle between the edge and the bottom surface at the same time, avoiding scraping dead corners and effectively reducing the residual material in the curved disk after scraping.

[0101] In this embodiment, the blade holder 52 is also provided with an accordion cover 521. The accordion cover 521 is located on both sides of the scraper assembly 51. When the scraper assembly 51 is scraping, it can prevent the scraped material from flying to the side.

[0102] The collecting hopper 6 is located below the scraping chamber 11 to collect the scraped material.

[0103] The tray feeding mechanism 7 is located outside the tray exit position 112 along the tray conveying direction.

[0104] In this embodiment, the tray feeding mechanism 7 includes an impeller 71 disposed between the frames 1 and a tray feeding drive motor 72 for driving the impeller to rotate. The rotating shaft of the impeller 71 is perpendicular to the tray feeding direction. During the process of the tray being pushed out of the tray position, the blades of the impeller 71 contact the tray and drive the tray to be fed to the outside, ensuring that the tray can be stably fed to the next process.

[0105] In this embodiment, the scraping device 100 has a mirror-symmetrical first bearing surface 311 and a second bearing surface 312 on the flipping base plate 31. By driving the flipping base plate 31 to alternately rotate forward 180° and reverse 180°, the first bearing surface 311 and the second bearing surface 312 can be alternately located at the inlet position 111 and the outlet position 112 of the scraping chamber 11.

[0106] Simultaneously, the infeed push rod 21 and the outfeed push rod 22, which are fixed in relative positions, move synchronously along the curved disc conveying direction. While pushing the curved disc to be scraped into the infeed position 111, the curved disc at the outfeed position 112 is simultaneously pushed out and scraped by the scraper. Furthermore, after the curved disc is pushed out, the base plate 31 is flipped again to replace the positions of the two bearing surfaces. The empty bearing surface is flipped to the infeed position 111, and the bearing surface clamping the curved disc to be scraped is flipped to the outfeed position 112. The infeed push rod and the outfeed push rod then move synchronously along the curved disc conveying direction to perform a cycle. The curved disc output device 100 of this embodiment synchronizes the three actions of inputting the curved disc to be scraped, scraping the disc, and outputting the scraped disc, achieving simultaneous input, output, and scraping of the disc. This effectively increases the number of discs that can be processed per minute and significantly improves the output efficiency.

[0107] Furthermore, the angle between the bottom surface 202 and the surrounding edge 201 of the curved disc 200 is an obtuse angle, and the contouring track 23 has the same contour as the curved disc. During the scraping process, the scraping push plate 22 and the contouring track 23 move synchronously. When the contouring wheel 536 moves along the contouring track 23, it drives the scraper assembly 51 to move along the contour of the contouring track 23 through the spring bracket 53. The scraper assembly 51 moves synchronously within the curved disc based on the movement of the contouring wheel 536 and performs scraping, so that the scraper assembly 51 can scrape the curved disc as closely as possible to the contour of the curved disc without damaging it, effectively reducing the residue of scraping material. At the same time, using the auger 511 or the scraper 512 that fits the contour of the curved disc for scraping can scrape the disc at the obtuse angle corresponding to the curved disc, further avoiding scraping dead corners and reducing the residue of scraping material.

[0108] refer to Figure 16 The operation mode of the fermentation device 100 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0109] First, after the first curved disc is pushed to the second bearing surface 312 at the inlet position 111, the base plate 31 is rotated 180° clockwise. At this time, the first bearing surface 311 at the inlet position 111 is empty, while the curved disc is clamped in the second bearing surface 312 at the outlet position 112. After the subsequent curved discs to be scraped are placed on the curved disc bearing plate 27, the pusher cylinder 54 drives the lower support 533 and the upper support 531 to rise, which in turn drives the scraper assembly 51 to rise to the curved disc outlet at the outlet position 112. The inlet and outlet cylinders 26 drive the moving seat 25 to move along the fixed seat 24, which in turn drives the inlet push rod 21 and the outlet push rod 22 to move synchronously along the curved disc conveying direction. The infeed push rod 21 pushes the curved plate placed on the curved plate support plate 2712 into the first support surface 311, and is clamped by the spring clamping assembly 41. The outfeed push rod 22 moves synchronously to push the curved plate clamped in the second support surface 312 away from the outfeed position 112. During the pushing process, the scraper assembly 51 located at the curved plate outlet scrapes off the material. The scraped material falls into the collection hopper 6. At the same time, the curved plate after scraping is transported to the next process by the feeding mechanism 7.

[0110] After scraping is completed, the first bearing surface 311 clamps the curved disc, while the second bearing surface 312 is empty. The pusher cylinder 54 drives the lower support 533 and the upper support 531 to descend, which in turn drives the scraper assembly 51 to descend. At the same time, the inlet and outlet cylinder 26 drives the moving seat 25 to retract, which in turn drives the inlet push rod 21 and the outlet push rod 22 to retract. Then, the flip motor 321 drives the flip shaft 32 to rotate the flip plate 180°, so that the positions of the first bearing surface 311 and the second bearing surface 312 are interchanged. After that, the curved disc to be scraped is placed on the curved disc bearing plate 27, and the subsequent work cycle can be started.

[0111] Furthermore, as the push rod 22 pushes the curved disc within the second bearing surface 312 away from the exit position 112, the contouring track 23 of the moving seat 25 moves synchronously, and the contouring wheel 536 on the upper support 531 moves along the contouring track 23, which has the same contour as the curved disc. Since the contouring track 23 has the same contour as the curved disc, when the scraper assembly 51 encounters the edge of the curved disc, the contouring wheel 536 will be compressed by the contouring track 23, causing the upper support 531 to descend. The compression spring 534 is compressed and correspondingly drives the scraper assembly 51 to descend. The contouring wheel 536 moves in contact with the contouring track 23, which can correspondingly drive the scraper assembly 51 to move along the contour of the curved disc, so that the scraper assembly 51 remains in contact with the contour of the curved disc for scraping.
