Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the technical field of feeding screw devices, and more particularly, to a feeding screw device for removing dregs from animal fats. Background Art

[0002] Animal fats are fats extracted from animal tissues and have a wide range of applications in multiple fields such as food, chemical industry, and medicine. They are commonly used in cooking and food processing and also have good medicinal value. However, animal fats usually come from animal adipose tissues, and some other impurities may be entrained during the acquisition of adipose tissues. If these impurities are not completely removed during the extraction of fats, they will become dregs in the fats.

[0003] Before using animal fats, the dregs in the animal fats are usually removed. Removing dregs can make the fats clearer and more transparent and also improve the quality and grade of the fats. When removing dregs, the fats are put into a feeding screw device. Through the rotation of the screw shaft in the device, the screw blades of the screw shaft push the material to move along the axial position of the conveying trough. Since the density of the fats is smaller than that of the dregs, the two can be separated. After the separation is completed, under the extrusion of the screw blades, the dregs are extruded from the discharge port at the side end of the conveying trough for collection, while the fats flow out from the liquid discharge port in other parts of the conveying trough.

[0004] After separating the dregs, they are usually transported to a collection box and then transported to a dreg treatment area or an energy recycling station for waste utilization. However, the conveying troughs of the existing conveying devices are fixedly installed, so the discharging direction of the discharge port remains unchanged all the time. When collecting dregs, after one collection box is full, it needs to be carried to another place, and then another collection box is taken to the discharge port, which is rather laborious. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above defects, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a feeding screw device for removing dregs from animal fats, which is used to solve the technical problem that the discharge port of the conveying trough in the prior art is difficult to adjust the discharging direction, and thus it is difficult to discharge materials to collection boxes at multiple positions and it is necessary to carry the collection boxes to the discharge port multiple times.

[0027] In addition, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for distinguishing descriptions, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, it shows a feeding screw device for discharging residue from animal fat in an embodiment of the present disclosure, including a conveyor 1. The conveyor 1 is slidably installed on a bottom plate 3 through two support columns 2. A chute is provided at the top of the bottom plate 3, and the two support columns 2 are slidably installed in the chute. It also includes a translation assembly, a feeding pipe 4, a material passing box 5, a discharge elbow 27, and a steering assembly. The translation assembly is arranged on the bottom plate 3 and is used to drive the conveyor 1 to move back and forth, thereby driving the discharge port of the conveyor 1 to move back and forth. The feeding pipe 4 is connected and installed at the discharge port of the conveyor 1. The material passing box 5 is arranged on the side of one of the support columns 2 through an adjustment assembly. The discharge elbow 27 is connected and rotatably installed at the bottom end of the material passing box 5. The steering assembly is arranged on the material passing box 5 and the discharge elbow 27 and is used to adjust the discharge direction of the discharge elbow 27. As Figure 5 shown, during transportation, first pour the fat into the conveyor 1, and then the conveyor 1 separates the fat and the residue. The residue is then pushed to the feeding pipe 4. Since the feeding pipe 4 is located above the material passing box 5, and the opening at the top of the feeding hopper 26 is larger than the opening at the bottom of the feeding hopper 26, the opening size at the bottom of the feeding hopper 26 is the same as the opening size at the top of the discharge elbow 27. A feeding hopper 26 is fixedly installed in the material passing box 5, and the height of the feeding hopper 26 is the same as the height of the material passing box 5. Then the residue enters the feeding hopper 26 through the feeding pipe 4 and then flows out through the discharge elbow 27. At this time, several collection boxes can be placed around the discharge elbow 27, and the residue falls into the collection boxes.

[0029] As Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, when one of the collection bins is full, the discharge port position of the discharge elbow 27 is rotated through the steering assembly so that it rotates above another collection bin. The steering assembly includes a third motor 23, a driving gear 24 and a driving gear ring 25. The third motor 23 is installed on the side of the material passing box 5. The driving gear 24 is coaxially connected to the output end of the third motor 23. The driving gear ring 25 is fixedly installed on the discharge elbow 27, and the driving gear 24 meshes with the driving gear ring 25. Specifically, by starting the third motor 23, the output end of the third motor 23 drives the driving gear 24 to rotate. The driving gear 24 drives the driving gear ring 25 meshing with it to rotate. The driving gear ring 25 drives the discharge elbow 27 to rotate at the bottom of the material passing box 5, thereby rotating the discharge port of the discharge elbow 27 above other collection bins. In addition, the discharge elbow 27 can be driven to move back and forth by the translation assembly so that it moves above other collection bins. The translation assembly includes a first support plate 6, a reciprocating lead screw 7, a first motor 8, a lead screw nut 9, a connecting frame 10 and a sliding assembly. There are two first support plates 6, and both of the two first support plates 6 are fixedly installed on the same side end of the bottom plate 3. The reciprocating lead screw 7 is rotatably installed between the two first support plates 6. The first motor 8 is installed on the side of one of the first support plates 6, and the output end of the first motor 8 is coaxially connected to the reciprocating lead screw 7. The lead screw nut 9 is installed on the reciprocating lead screw 7. The connecting frame 10 is fixedly installed at the top of the lead screw nut 9. The sliding assembly is arranged at the other end of the bottom plate 3. The sliding assembly includes a second support plate 11, a sliding rod 12, a slider 13, a connecting frame 14 and a connecting rod 15. There are two second support plates 11, and both of the two second support plates 11 are fixedly installed on the other side end of the bottom plate 3. The sliding rod 12 is fixedly installed between the two second support plates 11. The slider 13 is slidably installed on the sliding rod 12. The connecting frame 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the slider 13. The connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed between the two support columns 2, and the connecting rod 15 is fixedly installed between the connecting frame 10 and the connecting frame 14.

[0030] Specifically, by starting the first motor 8, the output end of the first motor 8 drives the reciprocating lead screw 7 to rotate between the two first support plates 6. It should be added that the lead screw nut 9 and the reciprocating lead screw 7 are in rolling thread transmission, which is a well-known technology. Then the lead screw nut 9 drives the connecting frame 10 to move back and forth. Under the connection of the connecting rod 15, the support column 2 is driven to move back and forth. And under the connection of the connecting frame 14, the slider 13 moves synchronously on the sliding rod 12, thereby driving the conveyor 1 to move back and forth and driving the discharge elbow 27 to move back and forth to pour materials above the collection bins at different positions.

[0031] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the height and inclination angle of the discharge elbow pipe 27 can be finely adjusted through the adjustment assembly, so that the material can fall more smoothly. The adjustment assembly includes a mounting plate 16, an electric cylinder 17, a lifting frame 18 and a rotating assembly. The mounting plate 16 is fixedly installed on the side of one of the support columns 2. There are two electric cylinders 17, and both electric cylinders 17 are installed at the top of the mounting plate 16. There are two lifting frames 18, and the two lifting frames 18 are respectively slidably installed on both sides of one of the support columns 2, and the output ends of the two electric cylinders 17 are respectively fixedly installed at the bottom ends of the two lifting frames 18 through connecting blocks. The rotating assembly is arranged on the lifting frame 18. The rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 19, a second motor 20 and a support assembly. There are two rotating shafts 19, and the two rotating shafts 19 are respectively rotatably installed on the sides of the two lifting frames 18, and the material passing box 5 is fixedly installed between the two rotating shafts 19. The second motor 20 is installed on the side of one of the lifting frames 18, and the output end of the second motor 20 is coaxially connected with one of the rotating shafts 19. The support assembly is arranged on the lifting frame 18. The support assembly includes a support rod 21 and a support ring 22. There are two support rods 21, and the two support rods 21 are respectively fixedly installed on the sides of the two lifting frames 18. There are two support rings 22, and the two support rings 22 are respectively fixedly installed on the sides of the two support rods 21, and the two rotating shafts 19 respectively pass through and are rotatably installed in the two support rings 22.

[0032] Specifically, according to the height of the collection box, the electric cylinder 17 can be started. The output end of the electric cylinder 17 drives the lifting frame 18 to move up and down. Under the connection of the rotating shaft 19, it drives the material passing box 5 to move up and down synchronously, and then drives the discharge elbow pipe 27 to move up and down, so that it moves above the collection box. And the second motor 20 can be started. The second motor 20 drives the rotating shaft 19 to rotate, and then drives the material passing box 5 to rotate slightly, so that the discharge port of the discharge elbow pipe 27 is slightly inclined, so that the slag can fall smoothly. Because the material passing box 5 is supported by the rotating shaft 19, the support rod 21 and the support ring 22 can support the rotating shaft 19.

[0033] Working principle: When conveying the slag material, first pour the grease into the conveyor 1, then the conveyor 1 separates the grease from the slag material, and the slag material is pushed to the feeding pipe 4. The slag material enters the feeding hopper 26 through the feeding pipe 4 and then flows out through the discharge elbow 27. At this time, several collection boxes can be placed around the discharge elbow 27, and the slag material falls into the collection boxes. Then, the third motor 23 can be started. The output end of the third motor 23 drives the driving gear 24 to rotate. The driving gear 24 drives the driven gear ring 25 engaged with it to rotate. The driven gear ring 25 drives the discharge elbow 27 to rotate at the bottom of the material passing box 5, so that the discharge port of the discharge elbow 27 is rotated above other collection boxes. And the first motor 8 can be started, and the conveyor 1 moves back and forth, driving the discharge elbow 27 to move back and forth, and pouring materials above the collection boxes at different positions.

[0034] In order to better pour the materials, the electric cylinder 17 can be started. The output end of the electric cylinder 17 drives the lifting frame 18 to move up and down. Under the connection of the rotating shaft 19, it drives the material passing box 5 to move up and down synchronously, and then drives the discharge elbow 27 to move up and down, so that it moves above the collection box. And the second motor 20 is started to drive the material passing box 5 to rotate slightly, making the discharge port of the discharge elbow 27 tilt slightly, so that the slag material can fall smoothly.

[0035] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present disclosure and not to limit them. Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present disclosure can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present disclosure.
