Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of raw material transportation, in particular to a raw material conveying device for rose processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rose, a deciduous shrub of the genus Rosa in the family Rosaceae, is a medicinal and edible plant with economic value and cultural symbolism. Its main active ingredients include volatile oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, which not only give roses their unique aroma and flavor but also have significant biological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rose petals are mainly used in food and perfume extraction. Rose petals contain over 300 chemical components, such as quercetin, fatty oils containing fragrances, and organic acids, which are beneficial for beauty and have high health value. Rose petals can be further processed into flower cakes, dried petals, rose wine, rose jam, rose beverage, and rose essential oil.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, patent publication CN213622375U discloses a rose flower lifting and uniform conveying device that evenly distributes and conveys rose flowers to rose petals during the conveying process. Patent publication CN216334508U discloses a rose flower placement device that adjusts the direction of rose flowers during transmission through reasonable vibration, reducing the need for manual intervention and damage to the flowers.

[0004] However, rose petal processing is also a food processing process that requires ensuring the cleanliness of the conveying belt to reduce the probability of food safety issues. Conventional inspections only detect through visual inspection, but just looking clean is not enough. SUMMARY

[0005] To address the above problems, the present application provides a raw material conveying device for rose processing that can be self-cleaning and determine whether it is clean through the first odor sensor to sniff the concentration of residual rose flowers.

[0006] The present application is achieved by the following technical solution: a raw material conveying device for rose processing, comprising a frame, a conveying belt provided on the frame, and a driving member provided on the frame to drive the conveying belt; One end of the conveying belt is provided with a cleaning assembly for cleaning the conveying belt with steam; One side of the cleaning assembly is provided with a detection box, which is arranged on the conveying belt. The inner wall of the detection box is fixedly connected with a first odor sensor, which is used to sniff the conveying belt after steam cleaning; The controller is further configured to acquire sniffing data of the first odor sensor, and determine that the self-cleaning of the conveying belt is substandard when the sniffed concentration of the rose fragrance is greater than a preset value.

[0007] Further, the cleaning assembly comprises a box body, the conveying belt extends into a middle section of the box body, and a steam generator is arranged at the bottom of the box body.

[0008] Further, a mounting seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box body, and a cleaning roller is rotatably connected to the mounting seat and abuts against the conveying belt.

[0009] Further, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp is arranged in the detection box.

[0010] Further, an air exchange fan is arranged at the top of the detection box.

[0011] Further, a cooler is arranged on the conveying belt, the cooler is located on the side of the detection box away from the cleaning assembly, and the cooler comprises a plurality of heat dissipation fans, and a dust filter is arranged at the air inlet of each heat dissipation fan.

[0012] Further, a second odor sensor is fixedly connected to the frame body, and the controller is configured to acquire sniffing data of the second odor sensor and determine the preset value based on the fluctuation of the concentration of the rose fragrance sniffed by the second odor sensor.

[0013] Further, the controller is configured to reduce the rotating speed of the driving member after determining that the self-cleaning of the conveying belt is substandard.

[0014] Further, a film laminating machine is arranged on the conveying belt, the film laminating machine is located on the side of the detection box away from the cleaning assembly, and the film laminating machine is configured to laminate the area of the conveying belt where the self-cleaning is substandard after the controller determines that the self-cleaning of the conveying belt is substandard. A film spade is fixedly connected to the frame body and located at the bottom of the conveying belt, and the film spade is configured to spade the film on the conveying belt.

[0015] The technical scheme of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects: The conveying belt can be used to convey rose flowers, and work stations can be arranged along the conveying belt to process the rose flowers.

[0016] Since the rose flower is used as a raw material for food processing, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the conveying belt, so the cleaning assembly uses steam for cleaning.

[0017] Because the rose has a strong fragrance, the residual debris can also emit a fragrance, but the residual debris will rot and produce bacteria if not cleaned in time, so in the cleaning effect detection, the first odor sensor can be used for sniffing to judge the residual amount of debris. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecular thermal motion. The higher the temperature, the more intense the molecular motion of odor molecules, and the faster the average speed. The first odor sensor can detect odor molecules, and the high temperature of the steam can not only kill bacteria and viruses, but also promote the diffusion of odor molecules through its heating effect, making the diffusion process of the odor molecules emitted by the debris more intense and easier to be captured by the first odor sensor.

[0018] The controller is used to obtain sniffing data, compare the sniffing data with preset values, and judge whether the cleaning meets the standard. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] ​​​The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0022] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: Example 1: As attached Figures 1-7 As shown: A raw material conveying device for rose processing includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 on the frame 1, and a driving component 3 on the frame 1 for driving the conveyor belt 2. The driving component 3 is a motor.

[0025] A cleaning component 4 is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 2. The cleaning component 4 is used to clean the conveyor belt 2 with steam. The cleaning component 4 includes a housing 401, the conveyor belt 2 extends into the middle section of the housing 401, and a steam generator 402 is provided at the bottom of the housing 401. A mounting base 403 is bolted to the side wall of the housing 401, and a cleaning roller 404 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 403. The cleaning roller 404 abuts against the conveyor belt 2.

[0026] A detection box 5 is provided on one side of the cleaning component 4. The detection box 5 is mounted on the conveyor belt 2. A first odor sensor 6 is bolted to the inner wall of the detection box 5. The first odor sensor 6 is used to detect the conveyor belt 2 after steam cleaning. An ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12 is bolted to the inside of the detection box 5. An exhaust fan 13 is installed on the top of the detection box 5.

[0027] Further comprising a controller, the controller is configured to acquire the sniffing data of the first odor sensor 6, and determine that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is not up to standard when the sniffed rose fragrance concentration is greater than a preset value. The controller is signal connected with an alarm 11, which can be one of a buzzer or a signal lamp, and the controller is configured to determine that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is not up to standard, and control the alarm 11 to issue an alarm.

[0028] The conveyor belt 2 can be used to transport roses, and workstations can be arranged along the conveyor belt 2 for rose processing. The feeding position should be located between the detection box 5 and the first workstation to ensure that the cleaning process is performed before the roses are put in. The cleaning assembly 4 can be located at the end of the conveyor belt 2, covering the inflection point of the conveyor belt 2. Due to the conveying cycle mechanism of the conveyor belt 2, the cleaning assembly 4 can clean all positions on the surface of the conveyor belt 2 without moving.

[0029] Since roses are used as raw materials for food processing, it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 2. Therefore, the cleaning assembly 4 uses steam for cleaning. The steam contains water vapor and has a certain flushing and infiltration ability. At the same time, its high temperature can kill bacteria and viruses to ensure the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 extends into the middle section of the box 401, so that the inflection point of the conveyor belt 2 is above the steam generator 402. The steam generated by the steam generator 402 can act on the curved surface at the inflection point of the conveyor belt 2 to increase the treatment area of the steam. The cleaning roller 404 directly contacts the conveyor belt 2 and rotates by the friction force generated by the movement of the conveyor belt 2 to wipe the conveyor belt 2 and remove the water vapor on the conveyor belt 2. The cleaning roller 404 can ensure its cleanliness by being replaced regularly.

[0030] However, the cleaning is affected by the speed of the conveyor belt 2, the type of stains, and the amount of stains. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the cleaning effect.

[0031] Since roses have a strong fragrance, the first odor sensor 6 can be used for sniffing to determine the amount of debris residue during the detection of the cleaning effect. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecular thermal motion. The higher the temperature, the more intense the molecular motion of odor molecules, and the faster the average speed. The first odor sensor 6 can detect odor molecules, and the high temperature of the steam can not only kill bacteria and viruses, but also promote the diffusion of odor molecules through its heating effect, making the diffusion process of odor molecules emitted by debris more intense and easier to be captured by the first odor sensor 6.

[0032] However, the odor in the detection box 5 may accumulate, so an air exchange fan 13 is provided at the top of the detection box 5 to exhaust the gas in the detection box 5, so as to update the gas in the detection box 5 and reduce odor residue. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12 can disinfect the inside of the detection box 5 to prevent bacteria in the detection box 5 from producing odors that interfere with the detection of the first odor sensor 6.

[0033] The controller is configured to acquire sniffing data of the first odor sensor 6, and when the sniffed rose fragrance concentration is greater than a preset value, it indicates that the amount of residual debris is large, and thus it is determined that the self-cleaning of the conveying belt 2 is not up to standard. The controller will issue an alarm through the alarm 11 to remind the user, and the user can make the conveying belt 2 meet the cleaning requirements by reducing the conveying speed of the conveying belt 2, reducing the delivery of raw materials, actively cleaning, and the like.

[0034] Embodiment 2 Different from the above embodiments, the conveying belt 2 is provided with a cooler 7, the cooler 7 is located on the side of the detection box 5 away from the cleaning assembly 4, and the cooler 7 comprises a plurality of cooling fans 701, and a dust filter 702 is arranged at the air inlet of the cooling fan 701.

[0035] Some rose derivative products have high requirements for the freshness of rose flowers, and the rose petals are relatively thin. Higher temperature may cause the rose petals to ripen, which affects the quality of the derivative products. Therefore, the cooler 7 is additionally arranged on the conveying belt 2, and the cooler 7 can effectively cool the conveying belt 2 to ensure that the rose petals are in a suitable temperature environment.

[0036] Since the cooling fan 701 needs to take in air, dust may be attached to the conveying belt 2 by the air flow of the cooling fan 701, which may pollute the conveying belt 2. Therefore, the dust filter 702 is arranged at the air inlet of the cooling fan 701, which can filter out the dust entering the cooling fan 701 to reduce the pollution of the conveying belt 2.

[0037] Embodiment 3 Different from the above embodiments, the second odor sensor 8 is bolted on the frame 1, the controller is configured to acquire sniffing data of the second odor sensor 8, and the preset value for determining that the self-cleaning is not up to standard is based on the fluctuation of the rose fragrance concentration sniffed by the second odor sensor 8.

[0038] Generally, the richness of rose flowers can evaluate the amount of residual debris, but the fragrance richness of different varieties and batches of rose flowers is different, and the fragrance demand for producing different rose derivatives is also different. Therefore, the second odor sensor 8 is arranged on the frame 1, the second odor sensor 8 is configured to sniff the rose fragrance on the production line to determine the rose fragrance richness standard adopted on the production line, and the preset value for determining that the self-cleaning is not up to standard is compensated by the rose fragrance richness on the production line, so that the preset value for determining that the self-cleaning is not up to standard fluctuates according to different situations to adapt to the changes of raw materials.

[0039] Embodiment 4 Different from the above embodiments, the controller is configured to reduce the rotating speed of the driving member 3 after determining that the self-cleaning of the conveying belt 2 is not up to standard.

[0040] The steam treatment time is directly proportional to the disinfection effect, and the rotation speed of the drive component 3 can determine the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2. Therefore, when it is determined that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is not up to standard, the steam treatment time of the conveyor belt 2 can be extended by reducing the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0041] Example 5: The difference from the above embodiment is that a laminating machine 9 is also installed on the conveyor belt 2. The laminating machine 9 is located on the side of the detection box 5 away from the cleaning component 4. The laminating machine 9 is used to laminate the area of ​​the conveyor belt 2 that does not meet the self-cleaning standard after the controller determines that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is not up to standard. A membrane shovel 10 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The membrane shovel 10 is located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 and is used to remove the membrane shovel 10 from the conveyor belt 2.

[0042] Although reducing the conveyor speed of conveyor belt 2 can improve cleaning efficiency after it is determined that the self-cleaning process is inadequate, thus ensuring a stronger cleaning effect and maintaining cleanliness in subsequent areas of conveyor belt 2, the tested section, having already undergone disinfection, must complete the current cycle even with the subsequent stronger cleaning action. Therefore, areas found to be inadequate in self-cleaning are coated using a laminating machine 9, ensuring that subsequent rose petal raw materials remain on the coated surface and do not directly contact conveyor belt 2, thereby guaranteeing the cleanliness of conveyor belt 2 during subsequent processing.

[0043] The laminating machine 9 uses food-grade adhesive to attach the film to the conveyor belt 2. The adhesion doesn't need to be too strong, as the film will be contaminated by rose petal debris after use and therefore needs to be removed. Because the film is thin and flexible, it can bend and cycle with the conveyor belt 2. After folding back at the end of the conveyor belt 2, it can be scraped off using the film scraper 10, exposing areas that don't meet self-cleaning standards. These exposed areas then re-enter the cleaning component 4 for secondary processing. During this second processing, the conveyor belt 2 slows down, resulting in a more effective cleaning. Furthermore, because the film has absorbed the rose petal debris, the exposed areas that don't meet self-cleaning standards receive less additional contamination and are easier to clean to the required standard.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
