Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of garlic processing technology, and in particular to a garlic processing system. Background Technology

[0002] In garlic processing systems, a series of specific steps are typically employed to obtain garlic cloves that meet the required standards. First, a clove-splitting machine performs preliminary clove separation, dividing the whole garlic clove into individual cloves to prepare for subsequent processing. Next, a peeling machine removes the outer skin from the cloves. Then, a bubble cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner washes the peeled cloves to remove impurities. Finally, the cloves are manually sorted on a conveyor belt, relying on human experience and visual inspection to select those that meet the standards, or a color sorter is used to sort them based on characteristics such as color.

[0003] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the technology: when the garlic clove separator and peeler process garlic, a fan is usually used to separate the garlic skin. Since the feed inlet of the garlic clove separator and peeler is open, when the fan collects the garlic skin, some garlic skin and impurities such as dust will overflow from the feed inlet, affecting the cleanliness of the device's operating environment. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the issue of impurities such as garlic peels and dust overflowing from the feed inlet, this application provides a garlic processing system.

[0005] The garlic processing system provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: The system includes a garlic clove separating machine, a garlic clove peeling machine, a garlic clove washing unit, and a garlic clove sorting unit. The garlic clove separating machine and the garlic clove peeling machine are equipped with dust-proof feeding devices at their inlet ends. These feeding devices include: A housing, wherein a channel for conveying materials is provided through the housing; The first plate is installed in the channel and has a feed inlet. The second plate is installed in the channel and has a discharge port. The discharge port and the inlet are staggered. A sealing assembly is disposed between a first plate and a second plate. The sealing assembly includes a drive unit, a rotating rod, and several baffles. The drive unit is used to drive the rotating rod to rotate. The baffles are installed on the rotating rod and can prevent the feed inlet and the discharge outlet from communicating. When the baffles rotate with the rotating rod, they can push the material to move. The third plate is disposed on the first plate and has an inclined surface for guiding the material to move toward the feed inlet.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding device installed at the feeding end of the clove splitter and peeler has a channel in its shell that can transport materials; the inlet of the first plate and the outlet of the second plate are staggered and, together with the baffle of the sealing component, prevent the inlet and outlet from communicating, thus preventing impurities such as garlic peel dust from overflowing from the inlet when the clove splitter and peeler are working; at the same time, the drive unit drives the rotating rod to rotate, which drives the baffle to push the material to move, thereby realizing the material conveying; the inclined surface of the third plate can guide the material to move towards the inlet by its own gravity, making it easier for the material to enter the feeding device and ensuring the normal operation of the entire garlic processing system.

[0007] Optionally, the second plate has an internal cavity, and the driving unit includes: A drive unit, which is mounted on the housing; A transmission rod passes through the housing and the second plate and extends into the cavity; the driving component is capable of driving the transmission rod to rotate. The first bevel gear is disposed in the cavity and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the transmission rod. The second bevel gear is disposed in the cavity and meshes with the first bevel gear. A rotating shaft passes through the second plate. One end of the rotating shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the second bevel gear, and the other end of the rotating shaft is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component is installed on the housing, which can drive the transmission rod that passes through the housing and the second plate and extends into the cavity to rotate. The transmission rod drives the first bevel gear, which is coaxially fixedly connected to it and located in the cavity, to rotate. The first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear located in the cavity, thereby driving the second bevel gear to rotate. The second bevel gear drives the rotating shaft, which is coaxially fixedly connected to it and passes through the second plate, to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the rotating rod to rotate, thereby realizing the driving unit to drive the rotation of the rotating rod.

[0009] Optionally, the driving component is a motor, which is fixedly connected to the housing, and the output end of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the transmission rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving component is set as a motor and fixedly connected to the housing, and the output end of the motor and the transmission rod are coaxially fixedly connected, which can stably drive the transmission rod to rotate.

[0011] Optionally, the rotating rod is provided with several limiting grooves, and the end of the baffle is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a limiting groove is opened on the rotating rod, and the end of the baffle is inserted into the limiting groove. The number of baffles can be changed, so that the space between the two baffles changes synchronously.

[0013] Optionally, the limiting groove is T-shaped, and the end shape of the baffle is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the T-shaped limiting groove and the baffle with the end shape are matched, so that the end of the baffle can be stably inserted into the limiting groove.

[0015] Optionally, the third plate is connected to an auxiliary component, which includes a ring and a linkage unit. The ring is fixedly connected to the baffle, and a groove is provided on the surface of the ring. When the ring rotates with the baffle, the linkage unit can drive the third plate to move by means of the groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the ring is fixedly connected to the baffle. When the baffle rotates, the ring rotates accordingly. The groove opened on the surface of the ring will drive the linkage unit to move, which in turn drives the third plate to move.

[0017] Optionally, the first plate has a through opening, the slide groove is provided along the outline of the ring body, the channel of the slide groove extends in a wavy shape, the bottom depth of the slide groove varies in a wavy shape, and the linkage unit includes: A movable rod is slidable along the opening. One end of the movable rod is fixed to the third plate, and the other end of the movable rod extends into the groove and can slide along the groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ring body rotates with the baffle, the channel of the chute extends in a wave shape and the depth of the chute bottom changes in a wave shape. While the moving rod slides in the opening, it will swing back and forth along the wave-shaped contour and rise and fall. The movement of the moving rod is transmitted to the third plate, so that the third plate will make irregular movements during the feeding process.

[0019] Optionally, the inside of the slide groove is provided with an arc-shaped surface, and the other end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to a dome, which is semi-circular and can slide along the arc-shaped surface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ring body rotates with the baffle, the dome can slide along the arc surface inside the slide groove, so that the moving rod can slide more smoothly in the passage and along the slide groove.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: The motor drives the transmission rod, first bevel gear, second bevel gear, rotating shaft, rotating rod, and baffle to rotate in sequence. The material enters between the two baffles through the feed inlet, and the baffles push the material to the discharge outlet to complete the discharge. During this process, the feed inlet and discharge outlet cannot be connected due to the obstruction of the baffles. Therefore, when the garlic clove splitter and peeler are working, impurities such as garlic peel dust cannot overflow from the feed inlet to the outside, improving the cleanliness of the equipment's operating environment.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a garlic processing system.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The garlic processing system includes a clove-splitting machine 1 for separating garlic cloves, a peeling machine 2 for peeling garlic cloves, a washing unit 3 for cleaning garlic cloves, and a sorting unit 4 for sorting garlic cloves. The feeding ends of the clove-splitting machine 1 and the peeling machine 2 are equipped with dust-proof feeding devices 5. The feeding device 5 includes a housing 100, a first plate 200, a second plate 300, a sealing assembly 400, and a third plate 600. The sealing assembly 400 isolates the first plate 200 and the second plate 300, ensuring that the feeding ends of the clove-splitting machine 1 and the peeling machine 2 are not directly connected to the outside environment when feeding through the housing 100. This prevents garlic peel impurities from overflowing and maintains a clean operating environment for the garlic processing system. The following is a further detailed description of this application.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the garlic clove separator 1 includes a conveyor line and a separator body. The feeding device 5 is installed on top of the separator body, and the conveyor line is positioned on top of the feeding device 5, allowing for precise delivery of the garlic to be processed to the feeding device 5. Continuing as... Figure 1 As shown, the peeling machine 2 consists of a conveyor line and a peeling machine body. The feeding device 5 is installed on the top of the peeling machine body. One end of the conveyor line is connected to the output end of the clove-splitting machine body, and the other end of the conveyor line is set on the top of the feeding device 5, which can accurately convey the cloves after splitting to the feeding device 5.

[0029] Continue as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning unit 3 is located at the output end of the peeling machine. The cleaning unit 3 typically uses a bubble cleaner or an ultrasonic cleaner to clean the peeled garlic cloves, removing impurities from their surface. Continuing... Figure 1 As shown, the sorting unit 4 is located at the output end of the cleaning unit 3. The sorting unit 4 can be either a conveyor belt or a color sorter. The conveyor belt requires manual sorting.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 is square, with strip plates extending from both sides. Holes are provided on the strip plates, and the housing 100 can be detachably installed at the feeding end of the splitting machine body and the peeling machine body through the holes and bolts. A material conveying channel 110 is provided through the housing 100, and the channel 110 is circular.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the first plate 200 is circular and is installed at the top inside the channel 110. An approximately trapezoidal feed inlet 210 is provided on the first plate 200 and is located on one side of the channel 110. Continuing as... Figure 3As shown, the second plate 300 is circular and is installed at the bottom inside the channel 110. The second plate 300 has an approximately trapezoidal discharge port 310, which is located on the other side of the channel 110. That is, the discharge port 310 and the inlet port 210 are staggered.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the sealing assembly 400 is disposed between the first plate 200 and the second plate 300. The sealing assembly 400 includes a drive unit, a rotating rod 460, and several baffles 470. The drive unit is used to drive the rotating rod 460 to rotate. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second plate 300 has a square cavity 320 inside. The drive unit includes: a drive component 410, a transmission rod 420, a first bevel gear 430, a second bevel gear 440, and a rotating shaft 450.

[0033] The driving component 410 is a motor, which is fixedly or detachably connected to the housing 100. The output end of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the transmission rod 420. The transmission rod 420 is a long circular rod that passes through the housing 100, the second plate 300, and extends into the cavity 320. The first bevel gear 430 is disposed in the cavity 320 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the transmission rod 420. The second bevel gear 440 is disposed in the cavity 320 and meshes with the first bevel gear 430. The rotating shaft 450 is a long circular rod that passes through the second plate 300. One end of the rotating shaft 450 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 440, and the other end of the rotating shaft 450 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating rod 460. When the motor starts, it can sequentially drive the transmission rod 420, the first bevel gear 430, the second bevel gear 440, the rotating shaft 450, and the rotating rod 460 to rotate.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, several baffles 470 are installed around the circumference of the rotating rod 460, and the spacing between the baffles 470 is the same. Due to the obstruction of the baffles 470, the feed inlet 210 and the discharge outlet 310 cannot be connected. Therefore, when the chopping and peeling machine is working, impurities such as garlic peel dust cannot overflow from the feed inlet 210 to the outside, improving the cleanliness of the working environment. At the same time, when the baffles 470 rotate with the rotating rod 460, the baffles 470 can push the material between the two baffles 470 to move. Because the space between the baffles 470 is uniform, a further effect is that the material can be conveyed evenly, avoiding blockage. Figure 3 It can be seen that the shapes of the inlet 210 and the outlet 310 are approximately the same as those formed by the two baffles 470.

[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the third plate 600 is circular and has an opening identical to the feed inlet 210. The opening and the feed inlet 210 overlap. The third plate 600 is located on top of the first plate 200. The top of the third plate 600 is provided with an inclined surface 610. The height of the inclined surface 610 gradually decreases as it faces the feed inlet 210, so that the inclined surface 610 can guide the material to move towards the feed inlet 210 by its own gravity.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to control the feeding amount, a further design includes several limiting grooves 461 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 460. The limiting grooves 461 are T-shaped, and the ends of the baffles 470 are inserted into the limiting grooves 461. The shape of the baffles 470's ends matches the limiting grooves 461. Therefore, when the baffles 470 slide out of the limiting grooves 461, and the number of baffles 470 changes, the space between two baffles 470 changes synchronously. At this time, the amount of material pushed by the baffles 470 at one time changes, which can better control the machine's working speed and improve the control effect of the device. It should be noted that for this function to be used normally, the first plate 200 needs to be detachably installed in the channel 110, which can be done by plugging or bolting.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, since the material feeding speed is limited due to the inclined surface 610 of the third plate 600 relying on gravity, the feeding is slow in actual use. In a further solution, the third plate 600 is connected to an auxiliary component 500, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the auxiliary component 500 includes a ring 510 and a linkage unit. The ring 510 is annular and is disposed on top of the baffle 470. The ring 510 and one of the baffles 470 are fixedly connected (to avoid affecting the disassembly and assembly of the baffle 470). A groove 511 is formed on the surface of the ring 510. The groove 511 is set along the contour of the ring 510, and the channel of the groove 511 extends in a wavy shape, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the bottom depth of the chute 511 varies in a wave-like pattern (the bottom depth is different).

[0038] When the ring 510 rotates with the baffle 470, the linkage unit can drive the third plate 600 to move via the slide groove 511. Specifically, as shown in the example... Figure 7 As shown, the first plate 200 has a rectangular opening 220. The linkage unit includes a cylindrical moving rod 520, which can slide inside the opening 220. One end of the moving rod 520 is fixed to the third plate 600, and the other end extends into the slide groove 511 and can slide along the slide groove 511. The bottom of the slide groove 511 has an arc-shaped surface. The other end of the moving rod 520 is fixedly connected to a dome 530, which is semi-circular and can slide along the arc-shaped surface. Figure 7The middle moving rod 520 is at the deepest point of the bottom of the slide groove 511, at which point the third plate 600 and the first plate 200 are in contact.

[0039] When the ring 510 rotates with the baffle 470, the chute 511 also rotates with the ring 510. Since the chute 511 extends in a wave-like shape, when the moving rod 520 and the dome 530 slide inside the chute 511, they will also swing back and forth along the wave-like contour within the opening 220. Since the depth of the bottom of the chute 511 changes in a wave-like shape, the moving rod 520 will swing with the chute 511 and simultaneously rise and fall. When the motion state of the moving rod 520 is transmitted to the third plate 600, the third plate 600 will move irregularly while feeding, thereby accelerating the speed at which the material moves towards the feed inlet 210. While realizing feeding, it also increases the feeding speed and improves the working efficiency of the device.

[0040] The implementation principle of the garlic processing system in this embodiment is as follows: First, the housing 100 is fixed to the feeding end of the clove-splitting machine and the peeling machine using bolts. Then, the garlic clove splitting, peeling, washing, and sorting are completed sequentially through the clove-splitting machine 1, the peeling machine 2, the washing unit 3, and the sorting unit 4. During the process, the motor needs to be started to sequentially drive the transmission rod 420, the first bevel gear 430, the second bevel gear 440, the rotating shaft 450, the rotating rod 460, and the baffle 470 to rotate. The material enters between the two baffles 470 through the feeding port 210. The baffles 470 push the material to the discharge port 310 to complete the unloading. During this process, due to the obstruction of the baffles 470, the feeding port 210 and the discharge port 310 cannot be connected. Therefore, when the clove-splitting machine and the peeling machine are working, impurities such as garlic peel dust cannot pass through the feeding port 210. Ten overflows to the outside improve the cleanliness of the device's operating environment. Simultaneously, when the ring 510 rotates with the baffle 470, the moving rod 520 and the dome 530 will move irregularly with the help of the chute 511 with a wavy channel and wavy bottom. At the same time, the movement of the moving rod 520 will be transmitted to the third plate 600, which will also move irregularly, thereby accelerating the speed at which the material moves toward the feed inlet 210. While realizing feeding, it also increases the feeding speed and improves the working efficiency of the device.
