Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of betel nut processing equipment, and more particularly to a betel nut brine adding device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Betel nut processing is popular in Hunan and Hainan, and the traditional processing flow mainly includes seed selection, seed boiling, seed germination, gluing, brine adding (also known as "brine adding" or "material adding"), and brine is a key factor determining the quality of betel nut products. The quality of brine preparation and brine adding directly affects the taste of betel nut, and the brine formula and brine adding process are also the core of product differences among enterprises.

[0003] The essence of brine adding is to uniformly coat the interior of the cut or pressed betel nut cavity with viscous brine composed of white granulated sugar, edible essence, spices, humectants, preservatives, etc. in a quantitative, fixed-point, and fixed-type manner. This process requires stable brine flow, accurate trajectory, full wall hanging without overflow, while taking into account the size difference of the cavity, the uneven surface, and the change in brine viscosity with temperature fluctuations.

[0004] In the past, domestic betel nut manufacturing enterprises generally used "manual pen-holding" brine adding. Manual brine adding requires a large amount of manpower, and the quality fluctuates greatly. The amount of brine, drop position, and coating shape completely depend on the worker's sense of touch, resulting in poor flavor consistency of the same batch of products, high food safety risk, frequent contact between workers and materials, and high probability of microbial cross-contamination. Therefore, there is an increasing need for mechanical automation of the brine adding process.

[0005] However, some processes of the current equipment still rely on manual operation, and the degree of automation is not high.

The double-layer rocking table assembly 220 comprises two-layer screen plate racks 221 and lifting rocking arms 223 and vibration motors 222 mounted at the bottom of the two-layer screen plate racks 221. The two-layer screen plate racks 221 are provided with guide plates corresponding to the two layers of screen plates, and the discharge opening of the feeding assembly 210 is opposite to the guide plates.

[0033] In operation, the discharge opening of the feeding assembly 210 is opened, the opened betel nuts are placed, the betel nuts are respectively laid on the two layers of screen plates through the guide plates, then the lifting rocking arms 223 are lifted to make the screen plates inclined and the betel nuts quickly laid on the screen holes of the screen plates, at this time, the lifting rocking arms 223 are reset, then the vibration motors 222 are started to make the betel nuts better adapt to the screen plates, and the screen plates after vibration are pushed into the removing and replenishing device 300 by the material pushing assembly 230.

Further comprising a vibrating table installed on the conveying table 340 below the replenishing device 320.

[0035] In operation, the conveying table 340 receives the sieve plate with the areca nuts pushed by the cloth pushing assembly 230 and places it below the removing device 310. The removing photographing assembly 311 takes a photo of the areca nuts with the opening facing upward and identifies the unqualified areca nuts (such as the opening facing downward or the bad fruits, etc.) and sends information to control the removing XYZ-axis manipulator 312 to grab or suck the unqualified areca nuts and place them on the returning conveying assembly 313. The conveying table 340 continues to push the sieve plate with the areca nuts to below the replenishing device 320.

[0045] After the areca nuts complete the brining operation, the sieve plate is pushed into the uniform material cutting device 600 at the uniform material station, and the brine uniform treatment is performed; the uniform material photographing assembly 601 on the top starts to take photos, identifies the areca nuts with insufficient brine and no brine, and transmits the information to the host computer.

[0046] In order to further improve the quality inspection quality, manual quality inspection can be added here; the uniform material cutting device 600 further comprises a projector 603; after the uniform brining is completed, the uniform material conveying mechanism pushes the sieve plate to the cutting station below the projector 603; the areca nuts with insufficient brine and no brine are marked with red images by the projector 603, so as to facilitate the manual cutting of the unqualified areca nuts.

[0047] After the manual cutting station is completed, the sieve plate is pushed to the next trolley automatic plate collecting device station by the uniform material conveying assembly.

[0048] As an implementation method of the present application, the trolley plate collecting device 700 comprises a plate collecting and stacking station 720, a machine lower station 710, and a sieve plate collecting device, which is used to grasp the sieve plate in the plate collecting and stacking station 720 to a small trolley on the machine lower station 710.
