Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pickled cabbage processing, and particularly to an ingredient device for producing pickled cabbage and an ingredient method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the industrial production process of pickled cabbage, the ingredient link is one of the key steps to ensure the quality and flavor of pickled cabbage. High-quality pickled cabbage requires precise proportioning of various ingredients to achieve ideal taste, color, and shelf life;

[0003] At present, most traditional pickled cabbage ingredient methods use relatively simple equipment and methods. Some small-scale production enterprises or workshops still rely on manual operation. Manual weighing of ingredients is not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure the accuracy and consistency of each batch of ingredients, easily leading to uneven quality of pickled cabbage products. When adding ingredients such as salt, chili, and spices, manual operation may cause deviations in the amount of ingredients due to the experience and state of the operators, thus affecting the flavor and quality stability of pickled cabbage;

[0004] Even if some enterprises use some automated equipment for ingredient preparation, the existing ingredient devices still have many deficiencies. On the one hand, the metering accuracy of many devices is limited, unable to meet the requirements of modern consumers for high-quality and standardized pickled cabbage, and it is difficult to precisely control the amount of material fed, easily resulting in overfeeding or underfeeding. On the other hand, the existing mixing devices also need to be improved in terms of mixing effect, unable to fully and evenly mix various ingredients, resulting in local differences in the taste and flavor of pickled cabbage. Therefore, the technical personnel in this field have provided an ingredient device for producing pickled cabbage and an ingredient method thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0015] A method for preparing ingredients for pickled Chinese cabbage includes the following steps;

[0016] S1: After opening the cover plate of the ingredient barrel to discharge materials and then closing it, the electronic weighing device in the inclined discharging plate measures the weight in real time. When the set value is reached, the solenoid valve closes to control the discharging amount. When it is opened, the materials fall into the spiral conveying bin. The conveying motor drives the spiral conveying roller to output the materials;

[0017] S2: The materials enter the stirring tank of the mixing tank through the feeding port. The stirring chamber can rotate through the support and the rotating frame. The limiting block and the limiting groove ensure stable coordination. The stirring motor drives the stirring rod and the blades for mechanical stirring. The air inlet pipe is ventilated to generate pneumatic impact to assist mixing;

[0018] S3: The servo motor drives the bidirectional lead screw to rotate, so that the adjusting block moves. Through the transmission rod, the limiting rod and the transmission part, the stirring chamber is driven to rotate. Controlling the servo motor realizes precise adjustment of the angle and direction of the stirring chamber, and changes the mixing state;

[0019] S4: The rotating motor drives the rotating rod and the cam to rotate, pushes the top block to make the driving rod reciprocate, drives the driving sleeve and the threaded rod to rotate, makes the sliding block move, and finally drives the mixing tank to swing around the rotating shaft.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. The detachable cover plate on the upper side of the batching bucket is opened, and the materials to be batched are poured into the feeding chute inside the batching bucket. After that, the cover plate is closed to cooperate with the chute opening of the feeding chute, preventing the materials from spilling or being contaminated by the outside world during the subsequent process. Electronic weighing devices are installed inside the symmetrically arranged feeding inclined plates inside the feeding chute. After the materials enter the feeding chute and fall on the feeding inclined plates, the electronic weighing devices measure the weight of the materials in real time and transmit the weight signals to the signal receiver. When the weight of the materials measured by the electronic weighing devices reaches the pre-set weight value, the signal receiver receives the signals transmitted by the electronic weighing devices and then sends instructions to the solenoid valve between the mounting brackets. After receiving the instructions, the solenoid valve closes to prevent the materials from flowing downward continuously, thereby achieving precise control of the feeding quantity. When the solenoid valve is opened to allow the materials to be fed, the materials fall from the feeding chute into the conveying chute of the screw conveying bin through the feeding port. At this time, the conveying motor starts, driving the screw conveying roller fixedly connected to it to rotate in the conveying chute. The rotation of the screw conveying roller pushes the materials to move along the conveying chute towards the end far from the conveying motor and finally outputs from the feeding port and is conveyed to the subsequent processing link;

[0022] 2. The materials accurately metered and conveyed by the metering mechanism, after being output from the feeding port, enter the feeding cavity on the fixed frame through the feeding port, and then the materials enter the stirring chute between the left stirring cavity and the right stirring cavity in the mixing tank from the feeding cavity. The brackets in the mixing tank are respectively movably connected to the left stirring cavity and the right stirring cavity through the rotating frames, enabling the left stirring cavity and the right stirring cavity to rotate by a certain angle around the rotating frames. The limiting grooves opened on both sides of the right stirring cavity cooperate with the symmetrically arranged limiting blocks on the left stirring cavity to limit and guide the relative positions of the left stirring cavity and the right stirring cavity. At the same time, the fitting grooves of the left stirring cavity also play a certain role in positioning and cooperation in this process, ensuring the stability and coordination of the two stirring cavities during movement. The stirring rod is movably connected to the stirring chute of the right stirring cavity. The stirring motor fixedly connected to the side of the stirring rod far from the air inlet pipe starts, driving the stirring rod to rotate in the stirring chute. The mixing blades arranged on the stirring rod rotate with the rotation of the stirring rod to mechanically stir the materials in the stirring chute, causing the materials to mix and tumble with each other in the stirring chute. The air inlet pipe is connected to an external air source to introduce gas into the stirring rod. The gas enters the multiple air cavities opened at equal intervals in the stirring rod through the air inlet pipe and then sprays out from the air cavities, generating a pneumatic impact on the materials in the stirring chute to further promote the mixing of the materials, enabling the materials to be mixed more evenly and fully;

[0023] 3. The servo motor installed on one side of the adjustment frame starts. The servo motor serves as the power source, and its output end is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw. Therefore, the rotation of the servo motor will drive the bidirectional lead screw to rotate. Due to the effect of the thread, the adjustment block will move along the axial direction of the guide rod on the bidirectional lead screw. A transmission rod is movably connected to the adjustment block. As the adjustment block moves, the transmission rod will be driven by the adjustment block to swing. The swing of the transmission rod will be transmitted to the transmission part through the limit rod. When the transmission part receives the force transmitted by the limit rod, it will drive the left mixing chamber and the right mixing chamber to rotate around the rotating frame on the support. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and the rotation angle of the servo motor, the rotation direction and the number of turns of the bidirectional lead screw can be accurately controlled, and then the moving distance and direction of the adjustment block can be accurately controlled. Finally, the rotation angle and direction of the left mixing chamber and the right mixing chamber can be accurately adjusted. By adjusting the angle and position of the left mixing chamber and the right mixing chamber, the mixing state and method of the materials in the mixing tank can be changed, and the mixing range can be changed to meet the requirements of different production processes, improve the mixing effect and efficiency, and meet the diverse requirements for material mixing in sauerkraut ingredient production.

[0024] 4. The rotating motor drives the rotating rod to rotate between the two fixed plates. A cam is arranged on one side of the rotating rod close to the top block. As the rotating rod rotates, the cam also rotates together. The cam cooperates with the top block. When the cam rotates, its contour will push the top block, causing the driving rod to perform a reciprocating linear motion along the hole on the mounting block. When the convex part of the cam leaves the top block, the return spring will return to its original state, pushing the top block and the driving rod to move towards the direction close to the cam, thus realizing the reciprocating motion of the driving rod. Both the driving rod and the driving sleeve are of a threaded structure, and the driving sleeve is movably connected to the fixed plate through a bearing seat. Due to the effect of the thread, it will drive the driving sleeve to rotate around its own axis, and will drive the first bevel gear to rotate through the second bevel gear, and then the threaded rod will rotate. The threaded rod is threadedly connected with sliding blocks on both sides of the first bevel gear. When the threaded rod rotates, due to the effect of the thread, the sliding blocks will move along the axial direction on the threaded rod. A rotating shaft is arranged on one side of the sliding block, and the sliding block is movably connected to the mixing tank through the rotating shaft. As the sliding block moves, it will drive the mixing tank to swing at a certain angle around the rotating shaft. Description of the Drawings

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Referring to Figures 1-4 , this embodiment provides a batching device for producing pickled Chinese cabbage, including a support frame 1, a batching barrel 2, a metering mechanism 3, a mixing mechanism 4, an adjusting mechanism 8 and a swinging mechanism 9. A plurality of batching barrels 2 are equidistantly arranged on one side of the support frame 1. A metering mechanism 3 is arranged in each batching barrel 2.

The mixing mechanism 4 includes a left stirring chamber 401, a right stirring chamber 402 and a support 413. Adjusting mechanisms 8 are arranged on both sides of the support 413. The adjusting mechanisms 8 cooperate with the left stirring chamber 401 and the right stirring chamber 402. A control box 7 is arranged on one side of the support frame 1;

[0038] In this embodiment, specifically, the metering mechanism 3 includes a conveying motor 301, a spiral conveying bin 302, a spiral conveying roller 303, a blanking port 304, a blanking chute 305, a blanking inclined plate 306, an electronic weigher 307, a signal receiver 308, a mounting bracket 309, a solenoid valve 310 and a conveying chute 311. A blanking chute 305 is opened inside the batching barrel 2. A cover plate 6 is detachably arranged on the upper side of the batching barrel 2. The cover plate 6 cooperates with the slot opening of the blanking chute 305. A spiral conveying bin 302 is arranged below the batching barrel 2. A conveying motor 301 is arranged on one side of the spiral conveying bin 302. A conveying chute 311 is opened inside the spiral conveying bin 302.

After the materials enter the feeding chute 305, they fall on the feeding inclined plates 306. The electronic weigher 307 measures the weight of the materials in real time and transmits the weight signal to the signal receiver 308. When the weight of the materials measured by the electronic weigher 307 reaches the preset weight value, the signal receiver 308 receives the signal transmitted by the electronic weigher 307, and then sends an instruction to the solenoid valve 310 between the mounting brackets 309.

Limiting blocks 411 are symmetrically arranged on the left mixing chamber 401. The limiting blocks 411 are located in the limiting grooves 410. A fitting groove 412 is opened below the limiting grooves 410 on the left mixing chamber 401;

[0042] A stirring rod 403 is movably connected to the right stirring chamber 402 within the stirring tank 406. Mixing blades 404 are provided on the stirring rod 403 within the stirring tank 406.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Refer to Figure 8, This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference from the previous embodiment is that the adjustment mechanism 8 includes an adjustment frame 801, a bidirectional lead screw 802, an adjustment block 803, a fixed block 804, a transmission rod 805, a transmission member 806, a guide rod 807, a servo motor 808, and a limit rod 809. Adjustment frames 801 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bracket 413. A fixed block 804 is fixedly connected to the middle of the adjustment frame 801. A bidirectional lead screw 802 and a guide rod 807 are respectively arranged on the adjustment frame 801 on the fixed block 804. A servo motor 808 is arranged on one side of the adjustment frame 801. The output end of the servo motor 808 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 802. An adjustment block 803 is slidably connected between the bidirectional lead screw 802 and the guide rod 807. A transmission rod 805 is movably connected to the adjustment block 803.

[0046] The servo motor 808 arranged on one side of the adjustment frame 801 is started. The servo motor 808 serves as a power source, and its output end is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 802. Therefore, the rotation of the servo motor 808 will drive the bidirectional lead screw 802 to rotate. Due to the effect of the thread, the adjustment block 803 will move along the axial direction of the guide rod 807 on the bidirectional lead screw 802.

The swing of the transmission rod 805 will be transmitted to the transmission member 806 through the limit rod 809. When the transmission member 806 receives the force transmitted by the limit rod 809, it will drive the left mixing chamber 401 and the right mixing chamber 402 to rotate around the rotating frame 415 on the bracket 413. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and the rotation angle of the servo motor 808, the rotation direction and the number of turns of the bidirectional lead screw 802 can be accurately controlled. Furthermore, the moving distance and direction of the adjustment block 803 can be accurately controlled. Finally, the rotation angle and direction of the left mixing chamber 401 and the right mixing chamber 402 can be accurately adjusted.

The difference from the previous embodiment is that the swing mechanism 9 includes a threaded rod 901, a sliding block 902, a rotating shaft 903, a first bevel gear 904, a fixing plate 905, a bearing seat 906, a driving sleeve 914, a driving rod 907, a return spring 909, a top block 910, a rotating motor 911, a rotating rod 912 and a cam 913. On both sides of the lower part of the support frame 1, fixing plates 905 are fixedly connected. On one side of the fixing plate 905, a rotating motor 911 is arranged. Between the two fixing plates 905, a rotating rod 912 is movably connected. The output end of the rotating motor 911 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 912. And on one side of the fixing plate 905, a mounting block 908 is fixedly connected. On the mounting block 908, a driving rod 907 is movably connected. One end of the driving rod 907 penetrates through the mounting block 908 and is provided with a top block 910. A return spring 909 is arranged between the top block 910 and the mounting block 908. And on one side of the rotating rod 912 close to the top block 910, cams 913 are arranged. The cams 913 cooperate with the top block 910;

[0049] On the upper side of the mounting block 908 of the fixing plate 905, a bearing seat 906 is arranged. On the bearing seat 906, a driving sleeve 914 is movably connected. Both the driving sleeve 914 and the driving rod 907 are of threaded structures. And on the side of the driving sleeve 914 far from the driving rod 907, a second bevel gear 915 is fixedly connected. On both sides of the support frame 1, a threaded rod 901 is movably connected. In the middle of the threaded rod 901, a first bevel gear 904 is arranged. The first bevel gear 904 meshes with the second bevel gear 915;

[0050] On both sides of the first bevel gear 904 of the threaded rod 901, sliding blocks 902 are threadedly connected. On one side of the sliding block 902, a rotating shaft 903 is arranged. The sliding block 902 is movably connected to the mixing tank 11 through the rotating shaft 903;

[0051] The rotating motor 911 drives the rotating rod 912 to rotate between the two fixed plates 905. A cam 913 is provided on one side of the rotating rod 912 close to the top block 910. As the rotating rod 912 rotates, the cam 913 also rotates together. The cam 913 cooperates with the top block 910. When the cam 913 rotates, its contour will push the top block 910, causing the driving rod 907 to perform a reciprocating linear motion along the hole on the mounting block 908. When the convex part of the cam 913 leaves the top block 910, the return spring 909 will return to its original state, pushing the top block 910 and the driving rod 907 to move towards the direction close to the cam 913, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the driving rod 907. Both the driving rod 907 and the driving sleeve 914 are of threaded structure, and the driving sleeve 914 is movably connected to the fixed plate 905 through a bearing seat 906. Due to the effect of the thread, it will drive the driving sleeve 914 to rotate around its own axis, and will drive the first bevel gear 904 to rotate through the second bevel gear 915, and then cause the threaded rod 901 to rotate. The threaded rod 901 is threadedly connected with sliding blocks 902 on both sides of the first bevel gear 904. When the threaded rod 901 rotates, due to the effect of the thread, the sliding blocks 902 will move along the axial direction on the threaded rod 901. A rotating shaft 903 is provided on one side of the sliding block 902, and the sliding block 902 is movably connected to the mixing tank 11 through the rotating shaft 903. As the sliding block 902 moves, it will drive the mixing tank 11 to swing at a certain angle around the rotating shaft 903 through the rotating shaft 903.
