Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vegetable processing technology, specifically to a vegetable processing conveying and feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables are a type of plant or fungus that are cooked as food, and they are an indispensable part of people's daily diet. Vegetables contain a variety of minerals and vitamins that the human body needs, and eating them can supplement the body's nutrition.

[0003] For example, CN222063244U discloses a conveyor belt for vegetable processing, including a main body, a cleaning mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The main body includes a conveyor platform, and the cleaning mechanism is installed at the upper end of the main body. The cleaning mechanism includes an insert block, with a brush plate connected to the upper end of the insert block and a cleaning block inserted into the lower end of the brush plate. The lifting mechanism is installed at the lower end of the main body. This conveyor belt for vegetable processing achieves rapid cleaning of vegetable residue on the conveyor belt by installing a cleaning mechanism at the upper end of the main body, and achieves compatibility with different feeding heights by installing a lifting mechanism at the lower end of the main body.

[0004] Vegetables may contain dust and other impurities. The dust may contain small stones, metal shavings, and other foreign objects. Dust adhering to the surface of vegetables will affect their appearance and reduce their commercial value. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the dust and impurities from vegetables. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vegetable processing conveying and feeding mechanism to address the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a vegetable processing conveying and unloading mechanism, including a base, two support plates fixedly connected to the top of the base, a conveyor belt disposed inside the two support plates, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a unloading plate disposed on the top of the base. The unloading plate is wavy and arc-shaped, and the undulating structure of the wavy arc can generate slight shaking during the movement of vegetables, helping to shake off dust, dirt, and impurities adhering to the surface of the vegetables. A dust removal mechanism is disposed on the top of the base, the dust removal mechanism including a motor, the motor being fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate, and the motor's output... A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the outlet end via a coupling. A cam is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. Horizontal plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the feeding plate, respectively. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two horizontal plates. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, and the fixing block contacts the cam. A damping rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The damping rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate. A first spring is wound around the outer wall of the damping rod. The cam is driven by a motor to intermittently lift the feeding plate. Combined with the buffering and reset of the damping rod and the first spring, the feeding plate vibrates regularly, effectively removing dirt and dust from the surface of the vegetables and improving their cleanliness.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating rod has two reciprocating grooves, and the outer wall of the reciprocating grooves is threaded with a threaded sleeve. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve. A through hole is provided on the feeding plate, and a flipping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod. The flipping plate is in contact with the top of the feeding plate. The back-and-forth movement of the threaded sleeve will drive the telescopic rod to move back and forth, thereby driving the flipping plate to move back and forth. The back-and-forth movement of the flipping plate can fully expose all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, ensuring that dust, dirt and impurities are thoroughly shaken off, and preventing some areas from being blocked when vegetables are piled up, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded sleeve, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the top of the base. The limiting rod is provided to limit the movement of the threaded sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the conveyor belt is provided with a leveling mechanism, which includes a fixed rod that is fixedly connected between two support plates. A leveling plate is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod. The leveling plate can level the vegetables, and leveling the vegetables can fully expose all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, so that dust, dirt and impurities can be removed more effectively during subsequent shaking, so as to avoid them piling up and causing low efficiency in shaking.

[0010] Preferably, a second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod. The second spring is disposed between the front of the support plate and the back of the spreading plate. A push plate is fixedly connected to the top of the flipping plate. The push plate contacts the spreading plate. When the flipping plate moves forward, it will drive the push plate to move forward and drive the spreading plate to move forward. When the spreading plate moves forward, it will stretch the second spring. The forward movement of the spreading plate will flatten the vegetables. When the push plate moves backward, the spreading plate will automatically reset under the action of the second spring. This process can be repeated to continuously flatten the vegetables, so that all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, are fully exposed, making it easier to remove dust, dirt and impurities more effectively during subsequent shaking.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates. The connecting plate is U-shaped and has a reciprocating wavy hole at its bottom. A vertical hole is provided inside the flat plate and is located outside the fixed rod. A third spring is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the vertical hole, and the bottom of the third spring contacts the bottom inner wall of the vertical hole. An abutting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the flat plate, and the top of the abutting rod abuts against the reciprocating wavy hole. When the flat plate moves back and forth, the abutting rod at the top of the flat plate abuts against the reciprocating wavy hole at the bottom of the connecting plate, so that the third spring in the vertical hole is continuously compressed and released during the back and forth movement of the flat plate, further enhancing the shaking effect of the flat plate, shaking off the dust, dirt and impurities attached to the surface of the vegetables, and improving the cleaning effect.

[0012] Preferably, the front of the support plate is provided with an anti-sticking mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected between the two support plates. A scraper is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the left end of the scraper is in contact with the conveyor belt. When the conveyor belt is in motion, the scraper continuously scrapes the surface of the conveyor belt to remove the vegetable residue stuck to the conveyor belt, preventing the residue from causing blockage or malfunction of the conveyor belt and ensuring continuous operation of the production line.

[0013] Preferably, the support plate has an arc groove on its front side, and a slider is slidably connected inside the arc groove. A fourth spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the slider and the inner wall of the arc groove. The scraper is rotatably connected to the front side of the slider, and a top rod is fixedly connected to the top of the flipping plate. The top rod contacts the bottom of the scraper, and the top rod fixed to the top of the flipping plate contacts the bottom of the scraper. When the flipping plate reciprocates up and down, the top rod pushes the scraper to vibrate up and down, preventing residue from accumulating at the edge of the scraper and ensuring that the scraper works continuously and efficiently.

[0014] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This vegetable processing conveying and unloading mechanism uses a motor-driven cam to intermittently lift the unloading plate. Combined with the buffering and reset of the damping rod and the first spring, the unloading plate vibrates regularly, effectively removing dirt and dust from the surface of the vegetables and improving their cleanliness. Furthermore, the back-and-forth movement of the flipping plate fully exposes all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, ensuring that dust, dirt, and impurities are thoroughly shaken off. This prevents some areas from being blocked when vegetables are piled up, which could lead to incomplete cleaning.

[0016] 2. This vegetable processing conveying and feeding mechanism can flatten vegetables by moving a flat plate. Flattening the vegetables can fully expose all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, making it easier to remove dust, dirt and impurities more effectively during subsequent shaking, so as to avoid them piling up and causing low dust removal efficiency. Moreover, the flat plate shakes while flattening, which can shake off the dust, dirt and impurities attached to the surface of the vegetables, improving the cleaning effect.

[0017] 3. This vegetable processing conveying and feeding mechanism can scrape off sticky vegetable residues with a scraper to prevent them from causing blockage or sluggish operation of the conveyor belt. The scraper can prevent this from happening and ensure the continuous operation of the production line, so as not to affect the dust removal efficiency of the vegetables. Moreover, the up and down shaking of the scraper can prevent vegetable residues from accumulating on the edge of the scraper, ensuring that the scraper works continuously and efficiently.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7One embodiment of the present invention is as follows: a vegetable processing conveying and unloading mechanism, including a base 1, two support plates 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a conveyor belt 3 disposed inside the two support plates 2, a vertical plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and a unloading plate 5 disposed on the top of the base 1. The unloading plate 5 is wavy and arc-shaped, and the undulating structure of the wavy arc shape can generate slight shaking during the movement of vegetables, helping to shake off dust, dirt and impurities attached to the surface of the vegetables. A dust removal mechanism 6 is disposed on the top of the base 1, and the dust removal mechanism 6 includes a motor 611. A rotating rod 612 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 4 via a coupling at the output end of the motor 611. A cam 613 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 612. Horizontal plates 614 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the feed plate 5, respectively. A connecting frame 615 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two horizontal plates 614. A fixing block 616 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 615, and the fixing block 616 contacts the cam 613. A damping rod 617 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 614. The outer wall of the damping rod 617 is wrapped around... A first spring 618 is provided, which drives a cam 613 to intermittently lift the feeding plate 5 via a motor 611. Combined with the buffering and resetting of the damping rod 617 and the first spring 618, the feeding plate 5 vibrates regularly, effectively removing dirt and dust from the surface of the vegetables and improving their cleanliness. Two reciprocating threaded grooves 619 are formed on the outer wall of the rotating rod 612. A threaded sleeve 620 is threaded onto the outer wall of the reciprocating threaded grooves 619. A telescopic rod 621 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve 620. A through hole 622 is formed on the feeding plate 5, and a flipping plate 62 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 621. 3. The top of the flipping plate 623 is attached to the top of the feeding plate 5. The back-and-forth movement of the thread sleeve 620 will drive the telescopic rod 621 to move back and forth, thereby driving the flipping plate 623 to move back and forth. The back-and-forth movement of the flipping plate 623 can fully expose all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, ensuring that dust, dirt and impurities are thoroughly shaken off, and preventing some areas from being blocked when vegetables are piled up, resulting in incomplete cleaning. The bottom of the thread sleeve 620 is fixedly connected to a limit rod, which is slidably connected to the top of the base 1. The limit rod is set to limit the thread sleeve 620.

[0028] Working principle: Start motor 611, which drives rotating rod 612 to rotate, causing cam 613 on rod 612 to rotate accordingly. When cam 613 rotates to contact fixed block 616, it lifts fixed block 616, thereby driving connecting frame 615, horizontal plate 614, and feed plate 5 upwards. Because feed plate 5 is wavy, this upward movement causes feed plate 5 to vibrate rhythmically. Meanwhile, the damping rod 617 and the first spring 618 wrapped around its outer wall play the role of buffering and resetting. When the feeding plate 5 is lifted, it can quickly reset under the elastic force of the first spring 618. This cycle is repeated to realize the intermittent regular shaking of the feeding plate 5, which effectively removes the dirt and dust from the surface of the vegetables. The two reciprocating grooves 619 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 612 are threadedly connected to the thread sleeve 620. As the rotating rod 612 rotates, the thread sleeve 620 will make a reciprocating linear motion back and forth under the action of the reciprocating grooves 619. The thread sleeve 620 drives the telescopic rod 621 fixed at its top to move back and forth. The forward and backward movement of the telescopic rod 621 will drive the flipping plate 623 to move back and forth, thereby flipping the vegetables and shaking off the dust, dirt and impurities on the vegetables.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, a flattening mechanism 7 is provided on the top of the conveyor belt 3. The flattening mechanism 7 includes a fixing rod 711, which is fixedly connected between two support plates 2. A flattening plate 712 is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 711. A second spring 713 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 711 and is disposed between the front of the support plate 2 and the back of the flattening plate 712. A push plate 714 is fixedly connected to the top of the flipping plate 623. The push plate 714 and the flattening plate 712 are connected together. When the plate 712 contacts the surface, the flipping plate 623 moves forward, which in turn moves the push plate 714 forward, and the spreading plate 712 forward. As the spreading plate 712 moves forward, it stretches the second spring 713, thus flattening the vegetables. When the push plate 714 moves backward, the spreading plate 712 automatically returns to its original position under the action of the second spring 713. This process repeats continuously, flattening the vegetables and ensuring that all surfaces, including the bottom and sides, are evenly covered. The exposed surfaces facilitate more effective removal of dust, dirt, and impurities during subsequent shaking. A connecting plate 715 is fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 2. The connecting plate 715 is U-shaped, and its bottom has reciprocating wave holes 716. A vertical hole 717 is formed inside the spreading plate 712, located outside the fixing rod 711. A third spring 718 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the vertical hole 717, with its bottom contacting the bottom inner wall of the vertical hole 717. The top of the spreading plate 712... A fixed abutment rod 719 is connected, and the top of the abutment rod 719 abuts against the reciprocating wave hole 716. When the spreading plate 712 moves back and forth, the abutment rod 719 at the top of the spreading plate 712 abuts against the reciprocating wave hole 716 at the bottom of the connecting plate 715. This causes the third spring 718 in the vertical hole 717 to be continuously compressed and released during the back and forth movement of the spreading plate 712, further enhancing the shaking effect of the spreading plate 712, shaking off the dust, dirt and impurities attached to the surface of the vegetables, and improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Working principle: When the flipping plate 623 moves forward, it drives the push plate 714 forward, which in turn drives the spreading plate 712 forward. When the spreading plate 712 moves forward, it stretches the second spring 713. The forward movement of the spreading plate 712 flattens the vegetables. When the push plate 714 moves backward, the spreading plate 712 automatically resets under the action of the second spring 713. This reciprocating motion continuously flattens the vegetables, fully exposing all surfaces of the vegetables, including the bottom and sides, making it easier to remove dust, dirt, and impurities more effectively during subsequent shaking. When the spreading plate 712 moves back and forth, the abutting rod 719 at the top of the spreading plate 712 abuts against the reciprocating wave hole 716 at the bottom of the connecting plate 715. This causes the third spring 718 in the vertical hole 717 to be continuously compressed and released during the back and forth movement of the spreading plate 712, further enhancing the shaking effect of the spreading plate 712, shaking off the dust, dirt, and impurities attached to the surface of the vegetables, and improving the cleaning effect.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, an anti-adhesion mechanism 8 is provided on the front side of the support plate 2. The anti-adhesion mechanism 8 includes a rotating shaft 811, which is rotatably connected between the two support plates 2. A scraper 812 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 811. The left end of the scraper 812 is in contact with the conveyor belt 3. When the conveyor belt 3 is in motion, the scraper 812 continuously scrapes the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to remove the vegetable residue stuck to the conveyor belt 3, preventing the residue from causing blockage or obstruction of the conveyor belt 3. To ensure continuous operation of the production line and prevent uneven flow, the support plate 2 has an arc groove 813 on its front side. A slider 814 is slidably connected inside the arc groove 813. A fourth spring 815 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the slider 814 and the inner wall of the arc groove 813. The scraper 812 is rotatably connected to the front side of the slider 814. A top rod 816 is fixedly connected to the top of the flipping plate 623, contacting the bottom of the scraper 812. When the flipping plate 623 reciprocates up and down, the top rod 816 pushes the scraper 812 to vibrate up and down, preventing residue from accumulating at the edge of the scraper 812 and ensuring its continuous and efficient operation.

[0032] Working principle: When the conveyor belt 3 is in motion, the scraper 812 contacts the conveyor belt 3, causing it to continuously scrape the surface of the conveyor belt 3, removing vegetable residues adhering to it. This prevents the residues from clogging the conveyor belt 3 or causing malfunctions, ensuring continuous operation of the production line. The top rod 816 fixed at the top of the tilting plate 623 contacts the bottom of the scraper 812. When the tilting plate 623 moves up and down, the top rod 816 pushes the scraper 812 to vibrate up and down, preventing residues from accumulating at the edges of the scraper 812 and ensuring its continuous and efficient operation.

[0033] This invention provides a vegetable processing conveying and feeding mechanism. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
