Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food additive processing technology, and in particular relates to a gelatin gel particle conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Gel, also known as thermogel or gelling polysaccharide, is a water-insoluble glucan produced by microorganisms and composed of β-1,3-glycosidic bonds. As a food additive approved for use in China, it is widely used in the production of meat products, flour products, aquatic products and other foods. It can improve the water-holding capacity, viscoelasticity and stability of the products, and has a thickening effect.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN220316286U discloses a gellan gel particle conveying device, relating to the field of gellan gel technology. The device includes a conveying pipe and a heater. A motor is installed at one end of the conveying pipe, and a spiral blade is fixedly connected to the motor's power output end. A heating disc is installed between the motor and the spiral blade. A drying chamber is fitted around the outside of the conveying pipe, and a heater is installed at the front of the drying chamber. This utility model uses the rotation of the spiral blade to drive the gel particles forward, and simultaneously, by combining the heater, drying chamber, and heating disc, the gel particles inside the conveying pipe are thoroughly dried.

[0004] However, when the spiral blade conveyor mechanism rotates and pushes the particles forward, it may squeeze and deform the particles scattered between the spiral blade and the inner wall of the conveying pipe, or even break them. In addition, if the conveying pipe is long, the particles may accumulate and adhere to the spiral blade and the inner wall of the conveying pipe, reducing the drying effect and thus affecting the product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a conveying device for gel particles. By setting a wave-propelled conveying device, the conveying method is more gentle, which can solve the problem of particles being squeezed, deformed and broken during the conveying process. At the same time, the conveying device is also equipped with scrapers to prevent particles from accumulating and causing local humidity and temperature increases, thereby further improving product quality.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A conveying device for gel particles includes a conveying pipe with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other. A conveying mechanism is provided on the bottom wall inside the conveying pipe. The conveying mechanism includes multiple telescopic pushers evenly spaced apart. A first magnetic block is provided at the bottom of the telescopic pusher. A conveyor belt is provided below the telescopic pusher along the direction of particle conveying. Multiple second magnetic blocks are fixedly provided on the conveyor belt. The distance between two second magnetic blocks is twice the distance between two telescopic pushers. The magnetic repulsion between the second magnetic blocks and the first magnetic blocks causes the telescopic pushers to extend upwards. A first driving device is connected to the conveyor belt. An elastic membrane is fixedly provided above the telescopic pushers.

[0008] The following is a further optimization of the above technical solution by the present invention: The telescopic push bar includes a base frame, an inner frame is fixedly connected above the base frame, a push sleeve is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the inner frame, an assembly groove is opened in the base frame, a first magnetic block is slidably installed in the assembly groove, and a fourth magnetic block is fixedly installed at the upper end inside the push sleeve.

[0009] Further optimization: A conductive strip is provided at the center of the inner frame. The conductive strip runs through the upper and lower ends of the inner frame and extends into the assembly slot. An insulating spring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the conductive strip. A conductive sheet is fixedly connected to the lower end of the insulating spring. The conductive sheet is electrically connected to an external power source. A third magnetic block is provided at the upper end of the inner frame and is electrically connected to the conductive strip. When the third magnetic block is energized, its magnetism repels the fourth magnetic block.

[0010] Further optimization: The upper end of the push sleeve is provided with an arc-shaped top, and a connecting piece group is fixedly installed below the elastic membrane at the position corresponding to each telescopic push bar. Each connecting piece group includes two symmetrically arranged connecting pieces. The two connecting pieces in the same connecting piece group are snapped onto both sides of the push sleeve, and the upper end of the connecting piece expands outward to form a gap with the arc-shaped top.

[0011] Further optimization: A scraper is provided at the gap between the arc-shaped top and the connecting piece. The scraper is arranged along the axis of the arc-shaped top and the two ends are fixedly installed with brackets. A disc is rotatably installed at the two ends of the arc-shaped top corresponding to the positions of the brackets. The brackets are fixedly connected to the discs. A sleeve rod is rotatably installed on the disc near the edge. A U-shaped groove is opened at the lower end of the sleeve rod. A first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped groove. An inner rod is rotatably installed on the side of the base frame corresponding to the position of the sleeve rod. The upper end of the inner rod is slidably connected in the U-shaped groove at the lower end of the sleeve rod. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner rod.

[0012] Further optimization: A linkage plate is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt, and several rotating shafts are rotatably installed on the linkage plate. The bottom end of the telescopic pusher is fixedly installed on the rotating shafts, and a second transmission device is driven through the rotating shafts. A second drive device is driven through one of the rotating shafts.

[0013] Further optimization: The elastic membrane includes a bottom membrane and a top membrane. Several second springs are provided between the top membrane and the bottom membrane, and the two ends of the second springs are fixedly connected to the top membrane and the bottom membrane, respectively.

[0014] Further optimization: The top and bottom membranes are staggered with air pores, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the gel particles.

[0015] Further optimization: A drying mechanism is installed at the top of the conveying pipeline. The drying mechanism includes a fan. The fan is installed outside the conveying pipeline and a spray pipe is fixedly connected to its air outlet. The spray pipe is installed inside the upper part of the conveying pipeline. A nozzle is fixedly connected to the air outlet of the spray pipe, and the air outlet of the nozzle is set downward.

[0016] Further optimization: A discharge pipe is connected to the outlet of the conveying pipeline. One end of the elastic membrane is connected to the lower edge of the inlet, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe. Screening holes are opened on the bottom surface of the discharge pipe. The diameter of the screening holes is smaller than the diameter of the gel particles.

[0017] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This invention uses a conveyor belt to move a second magnetic block, which in turn pushes the telescopic pusher bar to extend, thereby causing the entire elastic membrane to form a wave shape and propel the particles forward. The propulsion process is gentler, avoiding damage to the particles caused by strong extrusion force. In addition, the wave-shaped propulsion method allows the particles to tumble during movement, preventing particle accumulation. Combined with the set drying mechanism, it can also improve the drying effect of the particles, effectively avoiding the situation of excessively high temperature and humidity in some particles, and improving product quality.

[0019] 2. The present invention has a scraper at the upper end of the telescopic pusher. The scraper is driven by the extension and shortening of the telescopic pusher. The structure is simple and does not require an additional driving device. At the same time, the scraper rotates and moves along the outer edge of the telescopic pusher, which can not only help push the particles forward, but also shake off some of the particles that are stuck to the elastic membrane, ensuring that the particles are transported smoothly.

[0020] 3. The telescopic pusher of the present invention is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe. Through the cooperation of the drive device and the chain, the tilt angle of all telescopic pushers can be adjusted synchronously. When the height difference between the inlet and outlet is caused by production conditions, the telescopic pusher can be adjusted to always be perpendicular to the horizontal ground. In this way, even if the conveying device is installed at an overall tilt, the conveying effect can be guaranteed and the environmental adaptability of the product can be improved.

[0021] 4. The elastic membrane of the present invention has a double-layer structure with a top membrane and a bottom membrane. The bottom membrane is used to provide elastic recovery force and enhance the durability of the elastic membrane. The top membrane is used to reduce particle adhesion and improve the conveying effect. At the same time, a second spring is provided in the gap between the top membrane and the bottom membrane to increase the vibration of the elastic membrane, which is beneficial to vibrate the particles that are stuck together and prevent the particles from sticking together and accumulating.

[0022] 5. The elastic membrane of the present invention is provided with vent holes. Due to the asynchronous vibration of the top membrane and the bottom membrane, the gap between them will change. Gas is discharged or drawn in through the vent holes, forming an air circulation in the conveying pipe. In conjunction with the air drying mechanism, the particles are dried, which can further improve the drying effect.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-2 A conveying device for gel particles includes a conveying pipe 1. A conveying mechanism is provided on the bottom wall inside the conveying pipe 1. The conveying mechanism includes telescopic pushers 211. Multiple telescopic pushers 211 are evenly spaced and arranged inside the conveying pipe 1 near the lower part. An elastic membrane 213 is fixedly provided above the telescopic pushers 211. The edge of the elastic membrane 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 1.

[0035] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the telescopic push bar 211 includes a base frame 513, an inner frame 512 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 513, a push sleeve 511 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the inner frame 512, an assembly groove 521 is opened in the base frame 513, a first magnetic block 214 is slidably installed in the assembly groove 521, and a conductive strip 522 is provided at the center of the inner frame 512. The conductive strip 522 passes through the upper and lower ends of the inner frame 512 and extends into the assembly groove 521.

[0036] An insulating spring 523 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the conductive strip 522, and a conductive sheet 524 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the insulating spring 523. The conductive sheet 524 is electrically connected to an external power source. A third magnetic block 525 electrically connected to the conductive strip 522 is provided at the upper end of the inner frame 512. A fourth magnetic block 526 is fixedly installed at the upper end inside the push sleeve 511.

[0037] Below the telescopic pusher 211, a conveyor belt 212 is arranged along the direction of particle conveying. Multiple second magnetic blocks 215 are fixedly arranged on the conveyor belt 212. The distance between two second magnetic blocks 215 is twice the distance between two telescopic pushers 211. The magnetism of the second magnetic block 215 and the first magnetic block 214 repels each other.

[0038] When the second magnetic block 215 moves to a position directly below the first magnetic block 214, the first magnetic block 214 and the second magnetic block 215 repel each other. The second magnetic block 215 pushes the first magnetic block 214 to move upward in the assembly groove 521. The upward movement of the first magnetic block 214 pushes the conductive sheet 524 to move upward. The insulating spring 523 is compressed. The conductive sheet 524 and the conductive strip 522, which are connected to the external power source, come into contact and form an electrical connection. This enables the third magnetic block 525 at the upper end to be energized. The magnetism generated by the energized third magnetic block 525 repels the fourth magnetic block 526, pushing the push sleeve 511 to slide upward, thereby achieving the effect of overall elongation of the telescopic push strip 211.

[0039] like Figure 2-3 As shown, a first driving device 216 is connected to the conveyor belt 212. In this embodiment, the first driving device 216 includes a drive shaft disposed at both ends of the conveyor belt 212. A transmission device is connected to the drive shaft. The transmission device can be either a drive belt or a drive chain. A servo motor is connected to the drive shaft at one end. The servo motor outputs rotational power and drives the conveyor belt 212 to move horizontally along the direction of particle conveying through the transmission device, thereby driving the second magnetic block 215 to move.

[0040] As the second magnetic block 215 moves, the telescopic pusher 211 corresponding to the second magnetic block 215 extends upward, pushing the elastic membrane 213 to form a bulge, while the telescopic pusher 211 located between the two second magnetic blocks 215 remains in a fixed position, and the elastic membrane 213 forms a depression. The telescopic pusher 211 rises or falls intermittently, so that the elastic membrane 213 forms an intermittent undulating state inside the conveying pipe 1, and propels the particles in a wave-like manner.

[0041] The upper end of the push sleeve 511 is provided with an arc-shaped top 531. A connecting piece group is fixedly installed below the elastic membrane 213 at a position corresponding to each telescopic push bar 211. Each connecting piece group includes two symmetrically arranged connecting pieces 532. The two connecting pieces 532 in the same connecting piece group are snapped onto both sides of the push sleeve 511. The upper end of the connecting piece 532 expands outward to form a gap with the arc-shaped top 531. By setting the connecting piece 532, the contact area between the elastic membrane 213 and the push sleeve 511 is increased, and the push sleeve 511 and the elastic membrane 213 will not easily fall off or shift, thus ensuring the conveying effect.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, a scraper 4 is provided at the gap between the arc-shaped top 531 and the connecting piece 532. The scraper 4 is arranged along the axial direction of the arc-shaped top 531 and the two ends are fixedly installed with brackets 542. The two ends of the arc-shaped top 531 are rotatably installed with discs 541 at positions corresponding to the brackets 542. The brackets 542 and the discs 541 are fixedly connected. When the discs 541 rotate, they drive the scraper 4 to move within a 180° range at the upper end of the arc-shaped top 531.

[0043] A sleeve rod 543 is rotatably mounted on the disc 541 near its edge. A U-shaped groove is provided at the lower end of the sleeve rod 543. A first spring 545 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped groove. An inner rod 544 is rotatably mounted on the side of the base frame 513 at a position corresponding to the sleeve rod 543. The upper end of the inner rod 544 is slidably connected to the U-shaped groove at the lower end of the sleeve rod 543. The other end of the first spring 545 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner rod 544.

[0044] When the push sleeve 511 falls back to the lowest position, the telescopic push bar 211 is in its shortest state. At this time, the first spring 545 is in a compressed state. Under the action of the restoring force of the first spring 545, the sleeve rod 543 is pushed upward, causing the disc 541 to rotate until the connection point between the sleeve rod 543 and the disc 541 is at the uppermost end. At this time, the scraper 4 is on one side of the arc-shaped top 531.

[0045] During the upward movement of the push sleeve 511, the first spring 545 changes from a compressed state to a stretched state. Under the restoring force of the first spring 545, the sleeve rod 543 is pulled downward, causing the disc 541 to rotate in the opposite direction until the connection point between the sleeve rod 543 and the disc 541 is at the lowest point. The rotation of the disc 541 causes the scraper 4 on the side to rotate 180° and move to the other side of the arc-shaped top 531.

[0046] The push sleeve 511 moves up and down, enabling the scraper 4 to move back and forth on both sides of the arc-shaped top 531. This can shake off the particles adhering to the elastic film 213 at the position corresponding to the arc-shaped top 531, preventing the particles from sticking together and accumulating, thus affecting the conveying effect.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, the elastic membrane 213 includes a bottom membrane 551 and a top membrane 552. The top membrane 552 is disposed above the bottom membrane 551. A gap is left between the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551, and a plurality of second springs 553 are disposed in the gap. The two ends of the second springs 553 are respectively fixedly connected to end pieces 554. The two end pieces 554 are respectively assembled and connected to the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551.

[0048] In this embodiment, the material of the bottom film 551 can be high-elasticity TPU or silicone to provide elastic recovery force, and the material of the top film 552 can be wear-resistant polytetrafluoroethylene to reduce particle adhesion. Through the cooperation of the top film 552 and the bottom film 551, the durability of the elastic film 213 can be enhanced and the use effect can be improved.

[0049] Because a second spring 553 is provided between the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551, when the particles are transported on the elastic membrane 213, the elastic membrane 213 will generate slight vibrations to shake apart the particles that are stuck together and prevent the particles from staying for a long time and forming an accumulation.

[0050] The top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551 are staggered with ventilation holes 561. The diameter of the ventilation holes 561 is much smaller than the diameter of the gel particles. Because the vibration of the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551 is asynchronous, the gap between them will change. When the gap between the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551 decreases, the gas in the gap is squeezed out through the ventilation holes 561 and discharged into the conveying pipe 1. When the distance between the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551 increases, the gas is drawn into the gap through the ventilation holes 561. In this way, a circulating airflow is formed in the conveying pipe 1, which helps to ventilate the gel particles on the elastic membrane 213, avoids the accumulation of too many particles during the conveying process, and prevents the airflow from being obstructed, causing local humidity and temperature to increase, which would affect the quality of the particles.

[0051] like Figure 1-2 As shown, one end of the conveying pipe 1 is a blind end, and an inlet 611 is provided on the end face near the top. The other end of the conveying pipe 1 is an outlet, which is connected to a discharge pipe 612. One end of the elastic membrane 213 is connected to the lower edge of the inlet 611, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 612. A screening hole 613 is provided on the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 612. The diameter of the screening hole 613 is smaller than the diameter of the gel particles, which is used to screen out the debris generated during the transportation process and improve the product quality.

[0052] A drying mechanism is provided at the top of the conveying pipe 1. The drying mechanism includes a fan 711, which is installed outside the conveying pipe 1 and has a nozzle 712 fixedly connected to its air outlet end. The nozzle 712 is installed inside the upper part of the conveying pipe 1, and a nozzle 713 is fixedly connected to its air outlet end. The outlet air of the nozzle 713 is set downward. The airflow output by the fan 711 is transported into the conveying pipe 1 through the nozzle 713, increasing the gas flow in the conveying pipe 1 and drying the particles transported in the conveying pipe 1.

[0053] Under actual production conditions, there may be a slight height difference between the feeding position and the discharging position. In this case, the conveying pipe 1 needs to be installed at an angle. In order to ensure the conveying effect, the angle of the telescopic pusher 211 needs to be adjusted to ensure that it is set perpendicular to the horizontal ground. However, the tilt angle of the telescopic pusher 211 should not be too large, otherwise it will affect its normal extension and retraction.

[0054] To make the angle of the telescopic pusher 211 adjustable, a linkage plate 311 is fixedly installed above the conveyor belt 212. Several rotating shafts 312 are rotatably mounted on the linkage plate 311. The bottom end of the telescopic pusher 211 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 312. A second transmission device 514 is driven to the rotating shaft 312. A second drive device 515 is driven to one of the rotating shafts 312. When the second drive device 515 works, it drives all the rotating shafts 312 to rotate synchronously through the second transmission device 514, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the tilt angle of all the telescopic pushers 211.

[0055] In this embodiment, the second drive device 515 is a servo motor, and the second transmission device 514 can be one of a chain, belt or gear set. When the servo motor works, it drives the rotating shaft 312 to rotate through the second transmission device 514, causing all the telescopic push bars 211 to tilt synchronously and maintain a certain angle.

[0056] Working principle: The processed gel granules are introduced into the feed port 611 and fall onto the elastic membrane 213. The first drive device 216 drives the conveyor belt 212 to move along the direction of granule conveying. When the second magnetic block 215 on the conveyor belt 212 is aligned with the lower end of the telescopic pusher 211, the push sleeve 511 slides upward due to the mutual repulsion between the magnetic blocks, achieving the overall elongation of the telescopic pusher 211. Since the distance between the two second magnetic blocks 215 is twice the distance between the two telescopic pushers 211, there is another telescopic pusher 211 between the two elongated telescopic pushers 211 that is not affected by the mutual repulsion of the magnetic blocks. The push sleeve 511 of this telescopic pusher 211 is in a falling state.

[0057] The pusher sleeve 511 slides upward, pushing the elastic membrane 213 upward. The pusher sleeve 511 falls back, causing the elastic membrane 213 to fall downward. The conveyor belt 212 moves horizontally continuously. The pusher sleeve 511 moves upward and falls intermittently, so the elastic membrane 213 forms a wave-like state in the conveying pipe 1, which propels the particles forward. This propulsion method is gentler and avoids damage to the particles caused by strong extrusion. In addition, the wave-like propulsion method can make the particles roll during the movement, avoiding particle accumulation. Combined with the set drying mechanism, it can also improve the drying effect of the particles, effectively avoid the situation of excessively high temperature and humidity of particles in some areas, and improve product quality.

[0058] During the upward and downward movement of the push sleeve 511, the sleeve rod 543 pulls the disc 541 to rotate under the action of the first spring 545, which drives the scraper 4 to rotate along the outer side of the arc-shaped top 531. This not only helps to push the particles forward, but also shakes off the particles that are stuck to the elastic membrane 213 and the corresponding part of the arc-shaped top 531, ensuring that the particles are transported smoothly.

[0059] When the particles move to the discharge pipe 612, the screening holes 613 on the discharge pipe 612 can screen out some of the debris mixed in with the whole particles, thereby improving product quality.

[0060] Example 2: As Figure 9 As shown, based on the above-described embodiment 1, the difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that a plurality of fixed tubes 562 are fixedly connected to the top membrane 552. One end of the fixed tube 562 away from the bottom membrane 551 is flush with the top membrane 552 and a buffer pad 564 is fixedly installed at the tube opening. The other end of the fixed tube 562 extends beyond the top membrane 552 and extends towards the bottom membrane 551. The diameter of the fixed tube 562 is smaller than the diameter of the gel particles. A piston 563 is fixedly connected to the bottom membrane 551 at a position corresponding to the fixed tube 562. The piston 563 is slidably installed inside the fixed tube 562 to prevent misalignment and pulling when the top membrane 552 and the bottom membrane 551 move up and down, which could lead to damage.

[0061] For those skilled in the art, any changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, based on the teachings of the present invention, still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
