Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of elevators, in particular to a vertical ingredient elevator for pepper processing. Background Art

[0002] Dried chili peppers are a typical product of deep processing of agricultural products. They are made from fresh chili peppers through dehydration processes such as airing and drying. They completely retain the spicy flavor imparted by capsaicin, as well as key nutrients such as vitamin C and minerals. They have a crisp texture in their natural state and are easily broken when subjected to external forces. The vertical ingredient elevator has become the preferred solution for the transportation of dried chili peppers due to its unique structural design and operating principle.

[0003] Although the existing vertical batching elevator has the dual advantages of high-speed transportation and integrity protection of dried chili peppers, during the transportation process of dried chili peppers, the internal chili seeds are easily fallen off and accumulated at the bottom of the hopper due to external forces such as vibration and collision. Due to the small particle size of the chili seeds, they will be embedded in the gaps between the hopper and the elevator, the transmission chain links and other precise parts, causing the hidden danger of mechanical jamming. After long-term operation, the mixture of fallen chili seeds and dust absorbs environmental moisture, causing the local humidity of the material to rise, accelerating the reproduction of microorganisms and the mildew process, and seriously reducing the storage quality and commercial value of dried chili peppers. Therefore, we propose a vertical batching elevator for pepper processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a vertical ingredient elevator for pepper processing.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism includes two main gear rods and two auxiliary gear rods arranged above the water tank, the auxiliary gear rods are arranged in a U shape, and the two main gear rods and the two auxiliary gear rods are spliced ​​to form a rectangle, a cross rod is slidably connected between the two main gear rods, and a lifting ring is slidably connected to the outer wall of the cross rod, a transmission rod is arranged between the lifting ring and the motor, and a support rod is fixed between the lifting ring and the cleaning brush, the support rod is arranged in an L shape, the output shaft of the motor drives the transmission rod to rotate, and the transmission rod drives the cross rod to slide back and forth laterally along the outer wall of the main gear rod through the lifting ring, and the lifting ring drives the cleaning brush to move laterally through the support rod. When the cross rod moves to the edge of the main gear rod, the transmission rod drives the lifting ring to slide vertically up and down along the outer wall of the cross rod.

[0008] The two ends of the lever are connected with the lever, and the two ends of the lever are connected with a pin of the lever, and the pin is connected with the pin of the lever is connected with a spring.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the self-cleaning mechanism includes a clamping ring fixed on the outer wall of the auxiliary gear lever, the outer wall of the clamping ring is sleeved with a sliding rod, and a cleaning plate for cleaning the cleaning brush is fixed on the end of the sliding rod away from the clamping ring, and a protrusion is provided on the side of the cleaning plate away from the sleeve, and the sliding rod is set to be L-shaped. When the lifting ring drives the cleaning brush to move vertically up and down through the support rod, when the cleaning brush changes from a vertical state to a horizontal state, it pushes the sleeve to move, and the sleeve drives the cleaning plate to move, so that the protrusion of the cleaning plate contacts the bristles of the cleaning brush, causing the bristles of the cleaning brush to bend, and the dry chili seeds entrained in the bristles of the cleaning brush are cleaned by the elastic force of the bristles.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a U-shaped plate is also fixed to the outer wall of the retaining ring, and a swing rod is connected to the internal rotation of the U-shaped plate. The end of the swing rod away from the U-shaped plate contacts the outer wall of the sleeve. When the motor drives the transmission rod to rotate, the transmission rod drives the shift rod to rotate, and the end of the shift rod with the arc surface contacts the end of the swing rod away from the sleeve, so that the shift rod pushes the swing rod to rotate around the end of the U-shaped plate away from the retaining ring, so that the swing rod drives the sleeve to move, and the sleeve drives the cleaning plate to move.

A filter screen for salvaging dry chili seeds is also provided inside the water tank. The middle part of the water tank is recessed inward to form a cleaning groove adapted to the filter screen. When the cleaning brush moves to one end close to the support plate, the cleaning brush contacts the filter screen, and at the same time, the cleaning brush penetrates into the interior of the cleaning groove and is cleaned by the clean water inside the water tank.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a mounting bracket is fixed to the outer wall of the filter screen, a limit block is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting bracket, a lifting groove adapted to the limit block is opened on the inner wall of the water tank, and the mounting bracket is made of polyethylene material. When the cleaning brush pushes the filter screen toward the inside of the water tank, the filter screen enters the inside of the cleaning tank. When the cleaning brush moves to the outside of the water tank, the mounting bracket is driven by buoyancy to move the filter screen upward, so that the filter screen can salvage the dry chili seeds floating inside the water tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The present invention realizes the rectangular movement of the cleaning brush by coordinating the structures such as the seed sweeping mechanism, the cleaning mechanism, the motor, the cleaning brush and the transmission rod, which can not only efficiently and comprehensively clean the dry chili seeds inside the hopper, but also effectively prevent the dry chili seeds from accumulating and falling into the gap between the hopper and the elevator, the transmission chain links and other precise parts, thereby avoiding equipment wear and jamming caused by the accumulation of foreign matter, significantly extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs, and preventing the chili seeds from mildewing in a humid environment, significantly improving the storage quality and safety of the dry chili, and thus enhancing its commercial value.

[0016] The present invention cooperates with the self-cleaning mechanism, the auxiliary stopper, the U-shaped plate, the sliding rod, the sleeve and the cleaning plate to promptly and effectively remove the dry chili seeds attached to the inside of the cleaning brush after the cleaning brush completes the cleaning work of the hopper, which not only avoids the residue and accumulation of dry chili seeds in the cleaning brush, but also ensures that the cleaning brush can maintain the best cleaning effect when it is used next time, thereby further improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire device;

[0017] The present invention realizes the water washing function of the cleaning brush through the cooperation of the transmission rod, lifting ring, cross bar and water tank, etc., which can effectively remove the dry chili powder adhering to the cleaning brush and ensure that the brush can remain clean after each use, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and the overall performance of the equipment;

[0018] The present invention cooperates with the self-cleaning mechanism, the auxiliary stopper, the U-shaped plate, the sliding rod, the sleeve and the cleaning plate to efficiently remove the residual moisture inside the cleaning brush after the cleaning brush is washed, effectively preventing water dripping from the cleaning brush into the hopper, thereby ensuring that the dried peppers are not affected by moisture during transportation and keeping the cleaning brush dry.
