Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of soybean processing technology, and in particular to an intelligent conveying device for soybean processing. Background Technology
[0002] When grinding soybeans, an elevator is usually used to lift and transport the soybeans into the grinder. A secondary rinsing device is usually added during the conveying process to improve cleanliness. After washing, residual moisture often adheres to the surface of the soybeans, increasing the uncontrollability of the surface moisture. In soybean product processing, the solid-liquid ratio (the ratio of soybeans to water) in the grinding process is crucial to product quality. The residual moisture on the surface of the soybeans after washing will cause the actual total water volume (residual water + added water) to deviate from the ideal value, resulting in a slurry that is too thin or too thick, which seriously affects the product yield and quality stability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To overcome the drawback that residual moisture on the surface of soybeans after washing can cause the actual total water content (residual water + added water) to deviate from the ideal value, resulting in slurry that is too thin or too thick, which seriously affects product yield and quality stability, this invention provides an intelligent conveying device for soybean processing.
[0004] Technical Solution: An intelligent conveying device for soybean processing includes a belt conveyor elevator and two baffles symmetrically arranged front and rear on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator; it also includes a receiving plate; several receiving plates are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator; a water pipe is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor elevator, and several nozzles are connected at equal intervals on one side of the water pipe facing the belt conveyor elevator; a meter is connected to the water pipe; a water collection frame is fixedly connected inside the belt conveyor elevator, and the upper part of the water collection frame is close to the rotating roller at the upper part of the belt conveyor elevator; a second water pipe is connected to the lower part of the water collection frame; a second meter is connected to the second water pipe; a camera is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor elevator; the camera is located to the side of the first water pipe.
[0005] More preferably, the upper part of the receiving plate is set to be curved.
[0006] More preferably, the inside of the water collection frame is smooth.
[0007] More preferably, it also includes an electric push rod 1 fixedly connected to the lower side of the water collection frame; the telescopic end of the electric push rod 1 is fixedly connected to a baffle 2; the baffle 2 is slidably connected to the water collection frame.
[0008] More preferably, it also includes air pipes; several air pipes are equidistantly connected at the front of the water collection frame.
[0009] More preferably, the trachea is inclined upwards.
[0010] More preferably, a sealing frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the water collection frame; the sealing frame is in contact with the belt of the belt conveyor elevator.
[0011] More preferably, it also includes scrapers; several scrapers are connected inside the water collection frame, and the scrapers are in contact with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator.
[0012] More preferably, it also includes a rotating shaft and a power unit; several rotating shafts are connected inside the water collection frame, and each rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a scraper; a power unit is connected to the water collection frame; each rotating shaft is connected to the power unit, and the power unit is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.
[0013] More preferably, it also includes flexible blocks, with one flexible block fixed to each scraper.
[0014] The beneficial effects are: 1. This invention controls the water injection mechanism of the grinder to inject grinding water into the grinder, and controls the amount of grinding water injected so that the ratio of the injected grinding water plus the residual moisture of the soybeans to the soybeans reaches the specified requirements, thus intelligently eliminating the influence of residual moisture in the soybeans on the grinding process.
[0015] 2. This invention connects the air pipe to an external air pump. When the external air pump is started, it generates suction. The external air pump draws gas from the water collection frame through the air pipe, thus creating negative pressure in the water collection frame. This allows the rinsing water in the soybeans to flow out of the soybeans, enhancing the rinsing effect.
[0016] 3. This invention improves processing efficiency by having a scraper contact the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator. As the conveyor belt moves, it slides on the scraper, which scrapes off the water from the belt and allows it to flow into the water collection frame. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Example 1: An intelligent conveying device for soybean processing, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes a belt conveyor elevator 1 and baffles 2; two baffles 2 are symmetrically arranged on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator 1.
[0026] It also includes a receiving plate 3, a water pipe 4, a meter 5, a water collection frame 6, a water pipe 7, a meter 8, and a camera 9; several receiving plates 3 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator 1; a water pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor elevator 1, and several nozzles are connected at equal intervals on the side of the water pipe 4 facing the belt conveyor elevator 1; a meter 5 is connected to the water pipe 4; a water collection frame 6 is fixedly connected inside the belt conveyor elevator 1, and the upper part of the water collection frame 6 is close to the rotating roller on the upper part of the belt conveyor elevator 1; a water pipe 7 is connected to the lower part of the water collection frame 6; a meter 8 is connected to the water pipe 7; a camera 9 is fixedly connected to the belt conveyor elevator 1; the camera 9 is located to the side of the water pipe 4.
[0027] To prevent damage to the soybeans, the upper part of the receiving plate 3 is designed to be curved.
[0028] To prevent moisture residue, the inside of the water collection frame 6 is made smooth.
[0029] It also includes an electric push rod 21 and a baffle 22; the electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the water collection frame 6; the telescopic end of the electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the baffle 22; the baffle 22 is slidably connected to the water collection frame 6.
[0030] It also includes an air pipe 23; four air pipes 23 are equidistantly connected at the front of the water collection frame 6, and the air pipes 23 are used to draw air from the water collection frame 6.
[0031] To prevent moisture from being sucked away, the trachea 23 is set at an upward angle.
[0032] In order to allow airflow to pass through the belt of the belt conveyor 1 as much as possible, a sealing frame is fixedly connected to the upper side of the water collection frame 6; the sealing frame is in contact with the belt of the belt conveyor 1.
[0033] by Figure 1 Based on the viewing angle, the side where belt conveyor elevator 1 is located is the rear side.
[0034] In use, the belt conveyor elevator 1 is installed to the side of the grinder. The tilt angle of the belt conveyor elevator 1 can be adjusted as needed so that the grinder is located directly below the right end of the belt conveyor elevator 1. An external conveyor is installed at the lower end of the belt conveyor elevator 1 to transport the washed soybeans into the soybean storage container. The belt conveyor elevator 1 is started, and the belt moves clockwise with a front-to-back view as the reference. The receiving plate 3 lifts and transports the soybeans in the soybean storage container. The baffle 2 blocks the soybeans in the front-to-back direction. The receiving plate 3 moves with the belt of the belt conveyor elevator 1 to transport the soybeans into the grinder for grinding. The water pipe 4 is connected to the external water pump in advance. During the conveying process, the external water pump is controlled to introduce water into the water pipe 4, and then the nozzles on the water pipe 4 spray water onto the moving soybeans to perform a second rinse and further clean the surface of the soybeans.
[0035] After rinsing the soybeans, most of the rinsing water flows away through the mesh on the belt conveyor, while the remaining rinsing water follows the soybeans into the grinder. This water affects the solid-liquid ratio in the grinding process, thus impacting product quality. Therefore, a water collection frame 6 is installed. Seven receiving plates 3 can be placed between the water pipe 4 and the top of the belt conveyor 1. Each receiving plate 3 conveys one portion of soybeans. A camera 9 monitors the number of soybean portions passing through water pipe 4. When seven portions of soybeans have passed through water pipe 4, the belt conveyor 1 is paused. A meter 5 measures the amount of rinsing water used in one pass. Part of the rinsing water from these seven portions of soybeans flows down through the mesh on the belt into the water collection frame 6, and finally into water pipe 7. First, connect water pipe 27 to the wastewater collector. Water pipe 27 will then discharge the outflowing rinsing water into the wastewater collector for collection. The amount of rinsing water flowing out is measured by meter 28 on water pipe 27. The amount of rinsing water used minus the amount of outflowing rinsing water is the amount of residual moisture in the soybeans. Then, start the belt conveyor elevator 1 to measure the next 7 portions of soybeans. The corresponding 7 portions of soybeans with residual moisture measured will fall into the grinder. Then, control the water injection mechanism of the grinder to inject grinding water into the grinder. Control the amount of grinding water injected so that the ratio of the injected grinding water plus the amount of residual moisture in the soybeans to the soybeans reaches the specified requirements. In this way, the influence of residual moisture in the soybeans on the grinding process is intelligently eliminated.
[0036] When the next batch of 7 soybeans is being measured, some of the rinsing water will flow down from the mesh on the belt into the water collection frame 6, mixing with the rinsing water from the previous batch of 7 soybeans, affecting the measurement of residual moisture in the soybeans. Therefore, when the belt conveyor elevator 1 is started to measure the next batch of 7 soybeans, the electric push rod 1 21 is controlled to move the baffle 2 22 upward, so that the baffle 2 22 moves simultaneously with the next batch of 7 soybeans. In this way, the rinsing water flowing out of the next batch of 7 soybeans will first flow onto the baffle 2 22. After the next batch of 7 soybeans has moved above the water collection frame 6, the electric push rod 1 21 is controlled to move the baffle 2 22 downward to reset it. In this way, all the water on the baffle 2 22 will flow into the water collection frame 6, and then be discharged into the wastewater collector through the water pipe 2 7 for collection.
[0037] To maximize the rinsing effect by allowing the rinsing water to flow out of the soybeans, the air pipe 23 is connected to an external air pump. The external air pump is then activated, generating suction. The external air pump draws air from the water collection frame 6 through the air pipe 23, creating negative pressure within the water collection frame 6. This allows the rinsing water in the soybeans to flow out, thus enhancing the rinsing effect.
[0038] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as follows Figures 1-6 As shown, it also includes scrapers 31; five scrapers 31 are connected inside the water collection frame 6, and the scrapers 31 are in contact with the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor elevator 1.
[0039] It also includes a rotating shaft 32 and a power unit; five rotating shafts 32 are connected inside the water collection frame 6, and each rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to a scraper 31; a power unit is connected to the water collection frame 6; each rotating shaft 32 is connected to the power unit.
[0040] The power unit includes a gear 33, an electric actuator 34, and a rack 35; two electric actuators 34 are fixedly connected to the water collection frame 6; the extension ends of the two electric actuators 34 are jointly fixedly connected to the rack 35; a gear 33 is fixedly connected to each rotating shaft 32; each gear 33 meshes with the rack 35.
[0041] It also includes flexible blocks 36, with one flexible block 36 fixedly attached to each scraper 31. The flexible blocks 36 are used to block the mesh holes of the belt.
[0042] In order to allow the water on the belt conveyor 1 to flow into the water collection frame 6 as quickly as possible and improve the processing efficiency, the scraper 31 is made to contact the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1. When the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1 moves, the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1 slides on the scraper 31, and the scraper 31 scrapes off the water on the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor 1 and then flows into the water collection frame 6, thus improving the processing efficiency.
[0043] In specific scenarios (such as producing ultra-high concentration soybean paste through waterless grinding), it is necessary to keep the surface of the soaked soybeans as dry as possible. In this case, an external air pump can be used to introduce hot air into the water collection frame 6 through the air pipe 23. The hot air then flows upwards and blows onto the soybeans, thus drying them and keeping their surface as dry as possible. The amount of soybeans supported by the receiving plate 3 will vary depending on the inclination angle of the belt conveyor 1. The greater the inclination angle, the more severe the soybean slippage, resulting in the area between adjacent receiving plates 3 not being fully covered with soybeans. This means that there are exposed areas of the belt below the receiving plate 3, where hot air tends to flow out from the exposed areas of the belt, reducing the amount of hot air blown onto the soybeans. This can be addressed by pre-controlling the electric push rod 34 to drive the rack 35 towards... Moving downwards, with a front-to-back view as the reference, the rack 35 drives the scraper 31, the rotating shaft 32, and the gear 33 to rotate clockwise, causing the scraper 31 to rotate to below the receiving plate 3, that is, below the exposed area of the belt. When the belt conveyor elevator 1 stops, the receiving plate 3 is directly above the scraper 31. When hot air is introduced into the water collection frame 6 through the air pipe 23, the hot air will be blown as much as possible towards the soybeans due to the obstruction of the scraper 31, thus ensuring the drying effect on the soybeans. In addition, a flexible block 36 is fixed to each scraper 31. After the scraper 31 rotates to below the receiving plate 3, the flexible block 36 rotates and contacts the belt, thereby blocking the mesh on the belt, thus preventing the hot air from flowing out of the mesh and further allowing the hot air to be blown towards the soybeans as much as possible.
