Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an intelligent overhead conveyor system for vegetable processing. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent overhead conveyor systems typically consist of overhead chains, carriages, lifting devices, drive units, tensioning devices, and control systems. These components work together to form a continuous conveyor chain for the efficient and safe transport of materials. Their core function is to achieve automated and intelligent material handling, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0003] Patent publication number CN205397319U relates to the field of food processing technology. This patent discloses a greenhouse vegetable hanging conveyor device, including an overhead track and a suspension mechanism. The overhead track has an I-beam structure, with multiple dust-blowing devices with dust-blowing pipes spaced apart at the upper end. The suspension mechanism is located at the lower end of the overhead track. The suspension mechanism includes two U-shaped carriages located below the overhead track, each with two rollers adapted to the overhead track at its upper end. Traction ropes are installed on the outer sides of each carriage, connected to external drive mechanisms located at both ends of the overhead track. A sleeve is located at the lower end of the carriage, containing a telescopic rod that can move up and down. A horizontally arranged storage platform is located between the lower ends of the telescopic rods. This patent has a reasonable structural design, reducing labor intensity and improving labor efficiency. When not in use, the storage platform is elevated, not occupying space and not affecting people's activities inside the greenhouse. When in use, the height of the storage platform is lowered to avoid safety issues due to excessive height.

[0004] The aforementioned patent features a reasonable structural design that reduces labor intensity. However, the current equipment has the following problems: when the inertia causes the tilt angle to be too large during the movement of the shelf, the vegetables are prone to tipping over and falling. This not only affects the conveying efficiency but may also pose a safety hazard to the operators. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent suspended conveyor system for vegetable processing, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an intelligent suspended conveying system for vegetable processing, comprising a track system, a drive unit, and a support frame. The drive unit is disposed inside the track system, and the support frame is rotatably mounted on the surface of the drive unit. During the movement of the support frame, its motion lags behind the motion of the drive unit, thus causing the support frame to swing under the influence of inertia and gravity. This system is used for suspended conveying of vegetables.

[0007] A sliding sleeve, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the drive unit;

[0008] A first spring is installed between the drive unit and the sliding sleeve. The force state of the entire mechanism is adjusted by the first spring.

[0009] Rotating rods, the left and right rotating rods are respectively rotatably installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve;

[0010] A pressure rod, which is rotatably mounted on the surface of the rotating rod away from the sliding sleeve;

[0011] A pressure plate, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the pressure rod;

[0012] A threaded rod, which is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the pressure rod;

[0013] A sliding button, the sliding button being threaded onto the circumferential surface of a threaded rod;

[0014] The second spring is located between the left and right sliding buttons. The second spring is used to balance the tension of the pressure rods on both sides. Due to the transmission of force, the second spring is compressed to balance the displacement or tilt caused by the force on one side, and the reaction force of the sliding sleeve is used to counteract the unbalanced force of the support frame.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the conveying device also includes a sieve plate, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the support frame. After the vegetables are loaded into the support frame, they are received by the sieve plate. A No. 3 spring is provided between the sieve plate and the support frame, and the sieve plate is reset by the No. 3 spring.

[0016] The bottom of the support frame is equipped with a calibration device for balancing the drive unit during movement and an anti-fall device for preventing the support frame from falling during movement.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, the calibration device includes a fixed frame, a V-shaped frame, and a pulley rod. The fixed frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame, the V-shaped frame is rotatably installed on the circumferential surface of the fixed frame, and the pulley rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the support frame. The pulley rod is brought into contact with the sieve rod as it moves downward through the sieve plate, causing the pulley rod to move downward and contact the V-shaped frame.

[0018] According to the above technical solution, a No. 4 spring is provided between the pulley rod and the support frame. The No. 4 spring drives the pulley rod to reset, and the pulley rod contacts the V-shaped frame, so that the V-shaped frame moves from the inclined angle to the horizontal.

[0019] According to the above technical solution, the calibration device further includes an output port and a connecting rod. The output port is located at the bottom of the support frame, and the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the pulley rod. The movement of the connecting rod drives the sealing plate to move, so that mud and water are output through the output port. When the pulley rod moves upward, it drives the sealing plate to move and seal the output port.

[0020] According to the above technical solution, the calibration device also includes a sealing plate and a brake rod. The sealing plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod near the output port. The sealing plate is in contact with the output port and increases the weight of the lower half of the support frame by storing mud and water.

[0021] According to the above technical solution, the anti-fall device includes a slide rail frame, a receiving button, and a No. 5 spring. The slide rail frame is fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame, and the receiving button is slidably installed on the circumferential surface of the slide rail frame. The movement of the receiving button will compress or stretch the No. 5 spring. The No. 5 spring is arranged between the receiving button and the slide rail frame, and the receiving button is reset by the No. 5 spring.

[0022] According to the above technical solution, the anti-fall device also includes a baffle and a connecting rod. The baffle is fixedly installed on the top of the receiving button. One side of the connecting rod is rotatably installed on the surface of the brake rod, and the other side of the connecting rod is rotatably installed on the bottom of the baffle. The connecting rod moves by rotating the brake rod, and the movement of the connecting rod causes the two baffles on both sides to be centered.

[0023] This invention provides an intelligent overhead conveyor system for vegetable processing. It has the following advantages:

[0024] (1) In this invention, after the vegetables are loaded into the carrier frame by the setting of the conveying device, the carrier frame is suspended and conveyed along the track system by the drive unit. During the movement of the carrier frame, its movement lags behind the movement of the drive unit. Therefore, the carrier frame swings under the action of inertia and gravity. At this time, by setting the position and angle of the carrier frame to be automatically adjusted in real time, the vegetables being hoisted are kept in balance during transportation, avoiding damage caused by tilting or shaking. By rotating the threaded rod, the sliding knob is moved to adjust the tension of the second spring, so as to adapt to different degrees of shaking.

[0025] (2) In this invention, by setting up a calibration device, the load-bearing frame will tilt due to uneven weight distribution when vegetables are placed. At this time, the balance calibration mechanism detects the center of gravity of the load-bearing frame, so that the staff can detect whether the load-bearing frame is in a balanced state in time, which improves the stability of the vegetables during hanging and transporting. When the sealing plate moves downward, mud and water are output through the outlet. When the sealing plate moves upward, the outlet is sealed, so that mud and water are temporarily stored. The stored mud and water increase the weight of the lower half of the load-bearing frame, which can balance the overall center of gravity.

[0026] (3) In this invention, by setting up an anti-fall device, the baffle is initially in a state where one side is rising and the other side is falling. This state indicates that the two sides of the support frame are unbalanced, so that the staff can notice it in time. By rotating the brake rod, the connecting rod moves and the connecting rod moves to center the two baffles. When the baffle moves, the receiving button moves along the slide rail frame. The movement of the receiving button will compress or stretch the No. 5 spring. When the two baffles are in a balanced state, the support frame is protected from falling around, preventing the vegetables from falling due to tilting or external interference during the movement.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment of the present invention is: an intelligent suspended conveying system for vegetable processing, comprising a track system 1, a drive unit 2, and a support frame 3. The drive unit 2 is disposed inside the track system 1, and the support frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the drive unit 2 for suspended conveying of vegetables, including:

[0037] Sliding sleeve 4 is slidably installed on the inner wall of drive unit 2;

[0038] Spring 5 is positioned between the drive unit 2 and the sliding sleeve 4. Spring 5 is used to adjust the force state of the entire mechanism.

[0039] Rotating rod 6, the left and right rotating rods 6 are respectively rotatably installed on the inner wall of sliding sleeve 4;

[0040] Pressure rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the surface of rotating rod 6 away from sliding sleeve 4;

[0041] Pressure plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of pressure rod 7;

[0042] Threaded rod 9 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of pressure rod 7;

[0043] Slide button 10 is threaded onto the circumferential surface of threaded rod 9;

[0044] Spring 11 is located between the left and right sliding buttons 10. Spring 11 is used to balance the tension of the pressure rods 7 on both sides. By automatically adjusting the position and angle of the support frame 3 in real time, it ensures that the vegetables being transported remain balanced during transportation and avoids damage caused by tilting or shaking.

[0045] The conveying device also includes a sieve plate 12, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the support frame 3 to clean the vegetables and allow the mud and sand to be discharged through the sieve plate 12; a No. 3 spring is provided between the sieve plate 12 and the support frame 3, and the sieve plate 12 is reset by the No. 3 spring.

[0046] In this embodiment, after vegetables are loaded into the support frame 3, they are received by the sieve plate 12. At this time, the vegetables can be cleaned, allowing dirt and sand to be discharged through the sieve plate 12. The drive unit 2 drives the support frame 3 along the track system 1 for suspended transport. During the movement of the support frame 3, its movement lags behind the movement of the drive unit 2. Therefore, under the action of inertia and gravity, the support frame 3 swings. At this time, the support frame 3 contacts the pressure plate 8, causing the pressure plate 8 to drive the pressure rod 7 to move upward. The movement of the pressure rod 7 causes the rotating rod 6 to rotate upward. The rotation of the rotating rod 6 drives the sliding sleeve 4 to move upward while compressing the first spring 5, until the sliding sleeve 4 moves to its maximum distance. At this point, due to the force... The transmission causes the second spring 11 to compress, balancing the displacement or tilt caused by the force on one side. The reaction force of the sliding sleeve 4 counteracts the unbalanced force of the support frame 3. Then, the sliding sleeve 4 resets, causing the first spring 5 to readjust the force state of the entire mechanism, so that the two sides of the pressure plate 8 reach a new balance state, thus balancing the position of the support frame 3. The position and angle of the support frame 3 can be automatically adjusted in real time to ensure that the vegetables being transported remain balanced during transportation, avoiding damage caused by tilting or shaking. The tension of the second spring 11 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 9 to adapt to different degrees of shaking.

[0047] Please see Figures 1-7 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the support frame 3 is provided with a calibration device for balancing the drive unit 2 when it moves and an anti-fall device for preventing the support frame 3 from falling when it moves. The calibration device includes a fixed frame 20, a V-shaped frame 21 and a pulley rod 22. The fixed frame 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 3, the V-shaped frame 21 is rotatably installed on the circumferential surface of the fixed frame 20, and the pulley rod 22 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the support frame 3. When vegetables are placed, the support frame 3 may tilt due to uneven weight distribution. At this time, the balance calibration mechanism detects the center of gravity position of the support frame 3, so that the staff can promptly detect whether the support frame 3 is in a balanced state.

[0048] A No. 4 spring is installed between the pulley rod 22 and the support frame 3. The No. 4 spring drives the pulley rod 22 to return to its original position, and the pulley rod 22 contacts the V-shaped frame 21.

[0049] The calibration device also includes an output port 23 and a connecting rod 24. The output port 23 is located at the bottom of the support frame 3, and the connecting rod 24 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the pulley rod 22, so that mud and water are output through the output port 23.

[0050] The calibration device also includes a sealing plate 25 and a brake rod 26. The sealing plate 25 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod 24 near the output port 23. The sealing plate 25 contacts the output port 23, allowing the mud and water to be temporarily stored. The stored mud and water increase the weight of the lower half of the support frame 3, which can balance the overall center of gravity.

[0051] The anti-fall device includes a slide rail frame 30, a receiving button 31, and a No. 5 spring 32. The slide rail frame 30 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support frame 3. The receiving button 31 is slidably installed on the circumferential surface of the slide rail frame 30. The No. 5 spring 32 is disposed between the receiving button 31 and the slide rail frame 30. The No. 5 spring 32 drives the receiving button 31 to reset.

[0052] The anti-fall device also includes a baffle 33 and a connecting rod 34. The baffle 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the receiving button 31. One side of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably installed on the surface of the brake lever 26, and the other side of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the baffle 33. In the initial state, the baffle 33 is in a state where one side is rising and the other side is falling. This state indicates that the two sides of the support frame 3 are unbalanced, so that the staff can notice it in time.

[0053] In this embodiment, the screen plate 12 moves downward and contacts the pulley rod 22, causing the pulley rod 22 to move downward and contact the V-shaped frame 21, causing the V-shaped frame 21 to move from an inclined angle to a horizontal position. At the same time, the brake rod 26 is rotated. When vegetables are placed, the uneven weight distribution may cause the support frame 3 to tilt. At this time, the balance calibration mechanism detects the center of gravity position of the support frame 3, allowing the staff to promptly detect whether the support frame 3 is in a balanced state, thus improving the stability of the vegetable suspension and transportation. When the pulley rod 22 moves downward, it drives the connecting rod 24 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 24 drives the sealing plate 25 to move, allowing mud and water to be output through the outlet 23. When the pulley rod 22 moves upward, it drives the sealing plate 25 to move and seal the outlet 23, allowing the mud and water to be temporarily stored. The stored mud and water increase the weight of the lower half of the support frame 3, which can balance the overall center of gravity.

[0054] In its initial state, the baffle 33 is in a state where one side is rising and the other side is falling. This state indicates that the two sides of the support frame 3 are unbalanced, allowing the staff to notice it in time. By rotating the brake lever 26, the connecting rod 34 is moved. The movement of the connecting rod 34 causes the two baffles 33 to be centered. When the baffles 33 move, the receiving button 31 moves along the slide rail 30. The movement of the receiving button 31 will compress or stretch the No. 5 spring 32. When the two baffles 33 are in a balanced state, the support frame 3 is protected from falling around its perimeter to prevent vegetables from falling due to tilting or external interference during the movement.

[0055] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
