Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Tremella fuciformis processing, and particularly relates to a loading device and a usage method thereof for a continuous Tremella fuciformis drying tower. Background Art

[0002] Tremella fuciformis, also known as white fungus, snow ear, Tremella fuciformis spores, etc., belongs to the fungal kingdom, Basidiomycota, Tremellomycetes, Tremellales, Tremellaceae, Tremella. Tremella fuciformis tastes sweet, light, flat, and non-toxic. It has the effect of invigorating the spleen and promoting appetite, as well as the functions of replenishing qi, clearing the intestines, and nourishing yin and moistening the lungs.

[0003] After being picked and washed, Tremella fuciformis needs to be dried. Existing drying equipment generally uses drying ovens or drying rooms. During operation, the materials are directly dried as a whole. For example, the "Tremella fuciformis circulating drying tower equipment" disclosed in the patent publication number CN209802019U realizes the automatic drying process of Tremella fuciformis, making the whole process automated, changing the traditional drying method, and improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, in the existing processing of Tremella fuciformis, due to the firm roots of Tremella fuciformis, it is extremely difficult to dry them during drying. If special drying is carried out specifically for the roots of Tremella fuciformis, the drying operation efficiency will be reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a loading device and a usage method thereof for a continuous Tremella fuciformis drying tower to solve the above problems.

[0006] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A loading device for a continuous Tremella fuciformis drying tower, comprising:

[0008] A feeding conveyor belt assembly and a discharging conveyor belt assembly respectively arranged at the input end and the output end of the drying assembly;

[0009] A circulating conveyor belt assembly, and a transfer assembly for driving a homogenizing assembly to move between the circulating conveyor belt assembly and the feeding conveyor belt assembly and the discharging conveyor belt assembly is provided between the circulating conveyor belt assembly and the feeding conveyor belt assembly and the discharging conveyor belt assembly;

[0010] The homogenizing assembly includes a lower fixed ring and a lower movable ring that are coaxially threadedly connected. Multiple groups of cutting strips are annularly arranged on the lower fixed ring with its axis as the center. The cutting strips are V-shaped structures with elastic deformation. Both ends of the V-shaped cutting strips penetrate the lower fixed ring from the inner side of the lower fixed ring, and are connected by a pull rope between the two ends located outside the lower fixed ring. The lower movable ring rotates relative to the lower fixed ring in a threaded manner to clamp or loosen the multiple groups of cutting strips.

[0011] Preferably, a cutting knife is provided on the bottom wall of the strip cutter.

[0012] Preferably, a spring is connected between the end of the strip cutter and the lower fixing ring.

[0013] Preferably, two groups of baffles are correspondingly arranged above the discharge conveyor belt assembly, and the distance between the two groups of baffles is used for the lifting of the homogenizing assembly.

[0014] Preferably, limiting molds are arranged at equal intervals along the conveying track on the outer surfaces of the feeding conveyor belt assembly, the discharge conveyor belt assembly and the circulating conveyor belt assembly.

[0015] Preferably, the transfer assembly includes a gantry and a transverse movement assembly and a lifting assembly installed on the gantry, and the transverse movement assembly and the lifting assembly cooperate to drive the power assembly to move arbitrarily in the plane.

[0016] Preferably, the power assembly includes a rotatable upper fixing cover and an upper rotating cover, the upper rotating cover is driven to rotate by a rotating motor, a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the upper fixing cover, a plurality of push rods are arranged on the upper fixing cover in an annular array around the axis of the rotating ring, the push rods are movably matched with respect to the upper fixing cover in the radial direction of the axis of the rotating ring, each group of push rods is connected to the rotating ring through a corresponding connecting rod, and a telescopic assembly is installed on the upper fixing cover, and the movable end of the telescopic assembly is connected to the rotating ring.

[0018] Preferably, an electromagnet is arranged inside the upper rotating cover, and the electromagnet is magnetically attracted to the lower fixing ring.

[0019] A usage method of a loading device for a Tremella continuous drying tower includes the following steps:

[0020] Place the roots of the Tremella upward on the feeding conveyor belt assembly;

[0021] A group of transfer assemblies use the power assembly to grab a group of homogenizing assemblies on the circulating conveyor belt assembly to the roots of the Tremella;

[0022] Cut the roots of the Tremella downward through multiple strip cutters, and then the strip cutters move outward to break the cut part of the roots of the Tremella inside the strip cutters outward;

[0023] The roots of the Tremella with the homogenizing assembly are transported into the drying assembly for drying and then transported to the discharge conveyor belt assembly. Another group of transfer assemblies use the power assembly to remove the discharge conveyor belt assembly from the roots of the Tremella and transfer it to the circulating conveyor belt assembly.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] This invention involves installing a homogenizing component at the base of the white fungus before it is placed into the drying assembly. The homogenizing component cuts the base of the white fungus, and then the cut white fungus is broken apart. The thickness of the broken white fungus base is reduced, which is more conducive to drying. Therefore, there is no need to dry the solid base of the white fungus separately, which not only improves the drying efficiency but also reduces the drying cost. Attached Figure Description

[0043] It includes a drying component 100, a feeding conveyor belt component 200, a discharging conveyor belt component 300, a transfer component 400, a power component 500, a homogenizing component 600, and a circulating conveyor belt component 700;

[0044] The drying component 100 is a prior art for drying Tremella fuciformis and will not be elaborated.

[0045] A set of horizontally arranged feeding conveyor belt component 200 is provided at the input end of the drying component 100, and a set of horizontally arranged discharging conveyor belt component 300 is provided at the output end of the drying component 100, and the feeding conveyor belt component 200 and the discharging conveyor belt component 300 are relatively located at the head and tail ends of the circulating conveyor belt component 700.

[0046] A set of transfer components 400 is provided between the tail end of the feeding conveyor belt component 200 and the circulating conveyor belt component 700, and another set of transfer components 400 is also provided between the head end of the discharging conveyor belt component 300 and the circulating conveyor belt component 700.

[0047] The feeding conveyor belt component 2, the discharging conveyor belt component 300, and the circulating conveyor belt component 700 can all adopt a conveyor belt structure. Limiting molds 302 are installed at equal intervals along the conveying trajectory on the outer side walls of the feeding conveyor belt component 200, the discharging conveyor belt component 300, and the circulating conveyor belt component 700. Two sets of parallel baffles 301 are horizontally arranged above the discharging conveyor belt component 300, and the distance between the two parallel baffles 301 is greater than the outer diameters of the power component 500 and the homogenizing component 600.

[0048] The transfer assembly 400 includes a gantry frame 41, a transverse assembly 42, a lifting assembly 43, and a rotary motor 44. The transverse assembly 42 can be a screw drive structure, a telescopic cylinder, or an electric push rod and is installed on the gantry frame 41. The lifting assembly 43 can be a screw drive structure, a telescopic cylinder, or an electric push rod and is installed at the output end of the transverse assembly 42. The rotary motor 44 and the upper fixed cover 51 are installed at the output end of the lifting assembly 43. The transverse assembly 42 is used to drive the lifting assembly 43 to move laterally, and the lifting assembly 43 is used to drive the rotary motor 44 and the upper fixed cover 51 to move vertically.

[0049] The power assembly 500 includes an upper fixed cover 51, an upper rotating cover 52, a rotating ring 53, a connecting rod 54, a push rod 55, and a telescopic assembly 56;

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the upper rotating cover 52 is fixed to the downward-facing output end of the lifting assembly 43. The upper rotating cover 52 is coaxially rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper fixed cover 51. The output end of the rotary motor 44 is connected to the upper rotating cover 52. The rotating ring 53 is coaxially rotatably connected to the top wall of the upper fixed cover 51. The push rod 55 has an L-shaped structure. Multiple sets of push rods 55 are arranged in a ring array with the rotating ring 53 as the center. The lateral end of the push rod 55 slides linearly along the radial direction of the rotating ring 53 on the top wall of the upper fixed cover 51. The telescopic assembly 56 can be an electric telescopic rod. The fixed end of the telescopic assembly 56 is hinged to the top wall of the upper fixed cover 51, and the movable end of the telescopic assembly 56 is hinged to the rotating ring 53. The two ends of the connecting rod 54 are respectively hinged to the rotating ring 53 and the lateral end of the push rod 55.

[0051] An electromagnet (not shown in the attached drawing) is built into the upper fixed cover 51 or the upper rotating cover 52.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom wall of the upper rotating cover 52 is coaxially provided with an annular groove 521, and multiple sets of limiting blocks 522 are uniformly fixed in the annular groove 521. The structure of the annular groove 521 is adapted to the structure of the lower movable ring 62.

[0053] The homogenizing component 600 includes a lower fixed ring 61, a lower movable ring 62, a cutting strip 63, a pull rope 64, a spring 65, and a cutter 66;

[0054] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the lower fixed ring 61 and the lower movable ring 62 are coaxially arranged, and the lower fixed ring 61 and the lower movable ring 62 are threaded together. The cutting strip 63 has a V-shaped structure and can be elastically deformed, such as... Figure 9As shown, the two ends of the cutting strip 63 extend through the outer side of the lower fixed ring 61. The number of cutting strips 63 and push rods 55 is the same. A pull rope 64 is connected between the two ends of the cutting strip 63 located on the outer side of the lower fixed ring 61. A spring 65 is connected between the end of the cutting strip 63 and the outer wall of the lower fixed ring 61. A sheet-like cutter 66 is provided at the bottom of the cutting strip 63 located on the inner side of the lower fixed ring 61. The top wall of the lower movable ring 62 has multiple sets of evenly arranged protrusions 621. Multiple sets of ventilation holes are provided on the cutter 66.

[0055] Working principle:

[0056] Place the silver ear fungus with the root facing upwards inside the limiting mold 302 of the feeding conveyor belt assembly 200. The feeding conveyor belt assembly 200 drives the limiting mold 302 to move forward at equal distances. The lateral movement assembly 42 and the lifting assembly 43 work together to move the upper fixed cover 51 and the rotary motor 44 to directly above the root of the silver ear fungus.

[0057] Then, the descent of the lifting component 43 causes multiple sets of annular array cutting strips 63 to cut downwards at the root of the silver ear fungus, so that the root of the silver ear fungus is cut into multiple sets of independent island structures. The cutter 66 and the cutting strips 63 are inserted into the root of the silver ear fungus. Then, the extension of the telescopic component 56 causes the rotating ring 53 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating ring 53 causes the push rod 55 to move outward through the connecting rod 54. At this time, the vertical end of the push rod 55 is located between the lower fixed ring 61 and the pull rope 64. The vertical end of the push rod 55 moves outward, which causes the cutting strips 63 to move outward through the pull rope 64. At the same time, the spring 65 is stretched to generate a reverse elastic force. The outward movement of the cutting strips 63 causes the set of island-like silver ear fungus roots cut inside to bend outward, thereby achieving the separation of the silver ear fungus roots, which are cut into multiple sets of independent island structures, with a certain gap between them.

[0058] Then, the rotary motor 44 drives the upper rotating cover 52 to rotate. The rotation of the upper rotating cover 52, through the cooperation of the limit block 522 and the protrusion 621, drives the lower movable ring 62 to rotate as well. The lower movable ring 62 rotates until it abuts against each of the cut strips 63, thereby fixing the cut strips 63 to the lower fixed ring 61.

[0059] Afterwards, the electromagnet is de-energized and loses its magnetic attraction to the lower fixed ring 61. Then, the lifting assembly 43 rises, causing the upper fixed cover 51 and the upper rotating cover 52 to move upward and separate from the lower movable ring 62.

[0060] Then, the feeding conveyor belt assembly 200 carries the white fungus with the homogenizing component 600 at the root to the drying assembly 100. At this time, the root of the white fungus is separated from each other under the action of the homogenizing component 600, which is conducive to the drying of the root of the white fungus.

[0061] After being dried in the drying component 100, the white fungus is conveyed to the limiting mold 302 of the discharge conveyor belt component 300. Then, the transverse component 42 and the lifting component 43 work together to move the upper fixed cover 51 and the rotary motor 44 to the root of the white fungus with the homogenizing component 600.

[0062] Then the lifting assembly 43 descends, causing the lower movable ring 62 to be inserted into the annular groove 521 of the upper rotating cover 52. Then the rotary motor 44 drives the upper rotating cover 52 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotating cover 52 rotates in the opposite direction, and the limiting block 522 and the protrusion 621 cooperate to drive the lower movable ring 62 to rotate in the opposite direction as well. This causes the bottom wall of the lower movable ring 62 to separate from the top wall of all the cutting strips 63. Under the elastic force of the spring 65, the cutting strips 63 are pushed to move and reset inside the lower movable ring 62.

[0063] Then, the electromagnet inside the upper rotating cover 52 is energized to generate magnetic force and magnetically engages with the lower fixing ring 61, making the lower fixing ring 61 and the upper rotating cover 52 magnetically connected as one. Then, the lifting component 43 rises, causing the cutter 66 and the strips 63 to detach upwards from the root of the white fungus. During this process, other parts of the white fungus are blocked by two sets of baffles 301, which is more conducive to the separation of the root of the white fungus from the cutter 66 and the strips 63.

[0064] Afterwards, the discharge conveyor belt assembly 300 drives the dried silver ear fungus without the homogenizing component 600 to be transported outwards. The lateral movement assembly 42 and the lifting assembly 43 work together to transfer the homogenizing component 600, which is detached from the root of the silver ear fungus and magnetically attracted, to the circulating conveyor belt assembly 700. The circulating conveyor belt assembly 700 returns the homogenizing component 600 from the discharge conveyor belt assembly 300 to the feed conveyor belt assembly 200 to form a closed loop.

[0065] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of specific implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
