Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of garlic storage and transportation technology, and more specifically, to an automated sorting, feeding, and conveying equipment for garlic cold storage. Background Technology

[0002] Garlic, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Allium in the family Liliaceae, is further divided into hard-leaf garlic and soft-leaf garlic. The most common type of garlic in China belongs to the hard-leaf garlic branch. It is usually composed of numerous fleshy, clove-like small bulbs arranged closely together, covered with several layers of white to purplish membranous bulb skin. The leaves are broad and linear to linear-lanceolate. In recent years, single-clove garlic has become increasingly popular due to its round shape, attractive appearance, and ease of consumption. Some regions specialize in producing single-clove garlic to meet consumer and export demands, and the planting area has been increasing year by year.

[0003] To ensure long-term storage of garlic, it needs to be refrigerated. However, before refrigeration, the dehydrated garlic needs to be sorted and dusted. After sorting, the garlic is packaged and transported before it can be stored. Since these multiple processing steps are carried out separately, the processing time is increased, affecting the processing procedures and increasing labor and economic costs.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention discloses an automated sorting and feeding conveying device for garlic storage cold storage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the issues raised in the background art, where garlic requires sorting and dust removal after dehydration before cold storage, followed by packaging and transportation, this invention provides an automated sorting and feeding conveying device for garlic cold storage.

A discharge guide chute is fixed at the end of the collection plate near the second conveyor belt, and the end of the discharge guide chute away from the transmission rod extends to the top of the second conveyor belt.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the aperture of the multiple sorting nets increases sequentially from the horizontal bar conveyor to the sorting bin.

[0011] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the lengths of the multiple discharge guide troughs increase sequentially from the crossbar conveyor to the sorting bin, and the ends of the discharge guide troughs away from the sorting bin correspond to the positions between the multiple sorting partitions.

[0012] As a further improvement to this technical solution, two transmission rods are symmetrically arranged at the top inner side of the sorting net. The transmission rods are rotatably connected to the sorting bin. One end of the transmission rod extends to the outside of the sorting bin. A transmission pulley is provided at the end of the transmission rod located on the outside of the sorting bin and at a position corresponding to the output end of the second motor. The transmission rod is connected to the second motor through the transmission pulley. Three vibration rods are evenly arranged on the outside of the transmission rod. The vibration rods are fixedly connected to the transmission rod through a fixing rod.

[0019] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Before refrigerating garlic, it is necessary to sort the dehydrated garlic and remove dust. After sorting, the garlic is packaged and transported before it can be stored. Since the processing involves multiple steps, this increases the time span of the processing steps, affects the processing procedures, and also increases labor and economic costs.

[0021] Therefore, this invention provides an automated sorting and feeding conveyor for garlic cold storage. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 - Figure 8As shown, it includes a first conveyor belt 1 for convenient conveying of garlic. A crossbar conveyor 2 is provided at one end of the first conveyor belt 1 for convenient feeding of garlic. A sorting bin 3 is provided at the end of the crossbar conveyor 2 away from the first conveyor belt 1. A sorting component is provided inside the sorting bin 3 for sorting garlic. A second conveyor belt 4 is provided on one side of the sorting bin 3. A storage box 5 is provided at the end of the second conveyor belt 4 away from the first conveyor belt 1. Multiple sorting partitions 9 are evenly fixed on the outer side of the second conveyor belt 4. A fixing frame 6 is provided on the outer side of the end of the first conveyor belt 1 near the crossbar conveyor 2. A cleaning component is provided inside the fixing frame 6 for cleaning the surface of garlic. A dust collection component is provided at the lower end of the crossbar conveyor 2 for collecting dust falling from the surface of garlic.

[0022] For details, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to facilitate the cleaning and peeling of the garlic skin and dust, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning roller 15. The cleaning roller 15 is horizontally arranged inside the fixed frame 6 and above the first conveyor belt 1. The cleaning roller 15 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 6. To facilitate the rotation of the cleaning roller 15, a first motor 16 is fixed to one side of the fixed frame 6, and the output end of the first motor 16 is fixedly connected to the cleaning roller 15. To facilitate the collection of the peeled garlic skin, the cleaning assembly also includes two vacuum cleaners 12, which are symmetrically arranged on one side of the fixed frame 6. To facilitate the absorption and guidance of the garlic skin, a suction pipe 11 is fixed to the suction end of the vacuum cleaner 12, and the other end of the suction pipe 11 extends to the inside of the fixed frame 6. A suction groove plate 13 is fixed to the end of the suction pipe 11 away from the vacuum cleaner 12. To improve the sealing effect between the inside of the fixed frame 6 and the first conveyor belt 1, thereby facilitating the absorption of the peeled garlic skin, multiple partition curtains 14 are evenly fixed at both ends of the fixed frame 6.

[0023] During operation, when sorting garlic, the garlic is first placed at the top of the first conveyor belt 1. The first conveyor belt 1 is started, causing the garlic to move towards the horizontal bar conveyor 2. When the garlic moves to the inside of the fixed frame 6, the garlic skin is first sucked into the inside of the vacuum cleaner 12 through the suction groove plate 13 and the suction pipe 11. Then, when the garlic passes the cleaning roller 15, the first motor 16 is started, causing the first motor 16 to drive the cleaning roller 15 to rotate. When the cleaning roller 15 rotates, it picks up the garlic. The surface of the garlic peels and dust is swept away. The swept garlic peels are then absorbed into the vacuum cleaner 12 through two suction plates 13 and suction pipe 11, thus completing the sweeping work. The swept garlic is fed into the sorting bin 3 through the horizontal conveyor 2. Garlic of different diameters is sorted by the sorting component. When the garlic passes through the horizontal conveyor 2, the dust that cannot be sucked away will fall into the dust collection component. The sorted garlic is then transported to the storage box 5 through the second conveyor belt 4, thus completing the sorting and transporting of garlic.

[0024] Further, see Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, to facilitate the sorting of garlic of different diameters, the sorting assembly includes multiple sorting nets 7, which are evenly arranged inside the sorting bin 3. To facilitate the conveying of the sorting nets 7, an output roller 18 is provided at the lower inner end of the sorting net 7. Two positioning rollers 19 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top of the inner side of the sorting net 7. The positioning rollers 19 are rotatably connected to the sorting bin 3. The sorting net 7 is drive-connected to the output roller 18 and the positioning rollers 19. To facilitate the rotation of the output roller 18, a second motor 17 is fixed on the outer side of the sorting bin 3 at a position corresponding to the output roller 18. The output end of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the output roller 18. Garlic falling through the sorting net 7 is collected and guided. A collection plate 22 is provided on the inner side of the sorting net 7. The collection plate 22 is fixedly connected to the sorting bin 3. In order to facilitate the discharge of garlic located inside the collection plate 22, a discharge guide 10 is fixed at the end of the collection plate 22 near the second conveyor belt 4. The end of the discharge guide 10 away from the transmission rod 20 extends to the top of the second conveyor belt 4. The aperture of the multiple sorting nets 7 increases sequentially from the horizontal bar conveyor 2 to the sorting bin 3. The length of the multiple discharge guide 10 increases sequentially from the horizontal bar conveyor 2 to the sorting bin 3, and the end of the discharge guide 10 away from the sorting bin 3 corresponds to the position between the multiple sorting partitions 9. To facilitate the vibration of the sorting net 7 during its rotation, thus allowing garlic to fall more easily, two transmission rods 20 are symmetrically arranged at the top inner side of the sorting net 7. The transmission rods 20 are rotatably connected to the sorting bin 3, with one end of each transmission rod extending to the outside of the sorting bin 3. To ensure that the transmission rods 20 can rotate simultaneously when the second motor 17 is started, a transmission pulley 21 is provided at the end of the transmission rod 20 located on the outside of the sorting bin 3, corresponding to the output end of the second motor 17. The transmission rod 20 is connected to the second motor 17 via the transmission pulley 21. Three vibration rods 23 are evenly arranged on the outside of the transmission rod 20, and the vibration rods 23 are fixedly connected to the transmission rod 20 via a fixing rod 24.

[0025] When garlic falls from the horizontal bar conveyor 2 to the top of the sorting net 7, the second motor 17 drives the output roller 18 to rotate. The rotation of the output roller 18 causes the sorting net 7 to roll, moving the garlic away from the horizontal bar conveyor 2. At the same time, when the second motor 17 is started, it drives the transmission rod 20 to rotate through the transmission pulley 21. When the transmission rod 20 rotates, it drives the vibrating rod 23 to rotate around the transmission rod 20 through the fixed rod 24. When the vibrating rod 23 rotates to contact the sorting net 7, it will cause the sorting net 7 to move slightly. Thus, the rotation of multiple vibrating rods 23 vibrates the sorting net 7, which facilitates the garlic to be sorted through the aperture of the sorting net 7 and fall to the inside of the collection plate 22. Then, it is discharged through the discharge guide chute 10 to the top of the second conveyor belt 4. In this way, garlic of different sizes can be sorted and screened through the sorting net 7 with different apertures. Finally, it is transported to the storage box 5 through the second conveyor belt 4, completing the garlic sorting and conveying work.

[0026] Among them, see Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, to facilitate dust collection, the dust collection assembly includes a dust collection box 8, which is fixed at the lower end of the horizontal bar conveyor 2. A positioning plate 27 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the dust collection box 8, and a dust collection container 25 is slidably connected to the outer side of the positioning plate 27. To facilitate pulling the dust collection container 25, a handle 26 is fixed to one end of the dust collection container 25. To facilitate limiting the position of the dust collection container 25, a limiting hole 28 is provided on one end of the positioning plate 27. A limiting component is provided at the position corresponding to the limiting hole 28 in the storage box 5. The limiting component includes a moving plate 29, which is located inside the dust collection container 25. The movable plate 29 is slidably connected to the dust collection box 25. A limit bolt 30 is fixed at the lower end of the movable plate 29 and at the position corresponding to the limit hole 28. The limit bolt 30 is inserted and connected to the positioning plate 27 through the limit hole 28. A movable rod 31 is fixed at the middle of the top of the movable plate 29. The movable rod 31 is slidably connected to the dust collection box 25. In order to facilitate the limitation of the movable plate 29, the top of the movable rod 31 extends to the outer side of the top of the dust collection box 25. A lifting handle 32 is fixed on the outer side of the top of the movable rod 31 near the movable plate 29. A limit spring 33 is sleeved on the outer side of the end of the movable rod 31 near the movable plate 29.

[0027] During operation, when garlic moves to the top of the crossbar conveyor 2 via the first conveyor belt 1, the swept dust enters the dust collection box 25 through the dust collection bin 8 for collection. When the dust inside the dust collection box 25 needs to be processed, first, pull the lifting handle 32 upwards. This causes the lifting handle 32 to move the limiting bolt 30 via the moving rod 31 and the moving plate 29. When the limiting bolt 30 moves to the point of disengagement from the limiting hole 28, the limiting bolt 30 is no longer inserted into the positioning plate 27. Then, by pulling the handle 26, the dust collection box 25 is moved along the axial direction of the positioning plate 27, thus separating the dust collection box 25 from the dust collection bin 8 and completing the disassembly of the dust collection box 25. This facilitates the removal of the dust inside the dust collection box 25. When it is necessary to install the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8, the dust collection box 25 is connected to the dust collection chamber 8 through the positioning plate 27. When the limit bolt 30 is close to the positioning plate 27, the lifting handle 32 is pulled upward, causing the limit bolt 30 to move upward. When the dust collection box 25 moves to the position where the limit bolt 30 corresponds to the limit hole 28, the lifting handle 32 is released. At this time, under the elastic action of the limit spring 33, the moving plate 29 and the limit bolt 30 are pushed towards the positioning plate 27. When the limit bolt 30 moves to the inside of the limit hole 28, the limit bolt 30 completes the insertion connection with the positioning plate 27, thereby limiting the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8, thus completing the installation of the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8.

[0028] In summary, this effectively solves the problem that before garlic can be refrigerated, it is necessary to sort and remove dust from the dehydrated garlic, pack and transport the sorted garlic, and then store it. Since the processing of garlic involves multiple steps, it increases the time span of the processing steps, affects the processing procedures, and also increases labor and economic costs.

[0029] Working principle: During operation, when sorting garlic, the garlic is first placed at the top of the first conveyor belt 1. The first conveyor belt 1 is started, causing the garlic to move towards the horizontal bar conveyor 2. When the garlic moves to the inside of the fixed frame 6, the garlic skin is first sucked into the inside of the vacuum cleaner 12 through the suction groove plate 13 and the suction pipe 11. Then, when the garlic passes the cleaning roller 15, the first motor 16 is started, causing the first motor 16 to drive the cleaning roller 15 to rotate. The process involves sweeping away the garlic skin and dust from the garlic surface. The swept garlic skin is then absorbed into the vacuum cleaner 12 via two suction plates 13 and a suction pipe 11, thus completing the cleaning. The cleaned garlic is then fed into the sorting bin 3 via a horizontal conveyor 2, where it is sorted by different diameter garlic pieces. As the garlic passes through the horizontal conveyor 2, any dust that cannot be sucked up falls into the dust collection assembly. The sorted garlic is then transported to the storage bin 5 via a second conveyor belt 4, thus completing the garlic cleaning process. The sorting and conveying process involves the following steps: When garlic falls from the horizontal bar conveyor 2 to the top of the sorting net 7, the second motor 17 drives the output roller 18 to rotate. The rotation of the output roller 18 causes the sorting net 7 to roll, moving the garlic away from the horizontal bar conveyor 2. Simultaneously, when the second motor 17 is started, it drives the transmission rod 20 to rotate via the transmission pulley 21. The rotation of the transmission rod 20, through the fixed rod 24, drives the vibrating rod 23 to rotate around the transmission rod 20. When the garlic is rotated to contact the sorting net 7, it will cause the sorting net 7 to move slightly. This will cause the sorting net 7 to vibrate through the rotation of multiple vibrating rods 23, making it easier for the garlic to be sorted through the aperture of the sorting net 7 and fall into the inner side of the collection plate 22. Then, it will be discharged through the discharge guide 10 to the top of the second conveyor belt 4. This allows garlic of different sizes to be sorted and screened through the sorting net 7 with different apertures. Finally, the garlic is transported to the storage box 5 through the second conveyor belt 4, completing the sorting and conveying of garlic.When the garlic moves to the top of the crossbar conveyor 2 via the first conveyor belt 1, the swept dust enters the dust collection box 25 through the dust collection bin 8 for collection. When the dust inside the dust collection box 25 needs to be processed, first, pull the lifting handle 32 upwards. This causes the lifting handle 32 to move the limiting bolt 30 via the moving rod 31 and the moving plate 29. When the limiting bolt 30 moves to the point of disengagement from the limiting hole 28, the limiting bolt 30 is no longer inserted into the positioning plate 27. Then, by pulling the handle 26, the dust collection box 25 is moved along the axial direction of the positioning plate 27, thus separating the dust collection box 25 from the dust collection bin 8 and completing the disassembly of the dust collection box 25. This facilitates the removal of the dust inside the dust collection box 25. In the process of installing the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8, the dust collection box 25 is connected to the dust collection chamber 8 via the positioning plate 27. When the limiting bolt 30 approaches the positioning plate 27, the lifting handle 32 is pulled upwards, causing the limiting bolt 30 to move upwards. When the dust collection box 25 moves to the position where the limiting bolt 30 corresponds to the limiting hole 28, the lifting handle 32 is released. At this time, under the elastic action of the limiting spring 33, the moving plate 29 and the limiting bolt 30 are pushed towards the positioning plate 27. When the limiting bolt 30 moves to the inside of the limiting hole 28, the limiting bolt 30 completes the insertion connection with the positioning plate 27, thereby limiting the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8, thus completing the installation of the dust collection box 25 and the dust collection chamber 8.
