Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of raw material transportation technology, and more specifically, to a raw material conveying device for rose processing. Background Technology

[0002] Rose, a deciduous shrub belonging to the Rosaceae family, is a medicinal and edible plant with both economic and cultural value. Its main active ingredients include volatile oils, flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. These components not only give roses their unique aroma and flavor but also possess significant biological activities, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its flowers are primarily used in food and for extracting fragrances. Rose petals contain over 300 chemical components, such as quercetin, fragrance-containing fatty oils, and organic acids, all beneficial for beauty and health. Rose petals can be further processed into fresh flower cakes, dried petals, rose wine, rose jam, rose beverages, and rose essential oil.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, patent publication number CN213622375U discloses a rose lifting and uniform conveying device, which realizes that roses poured into the feed end of the rose lifting conveyor belt in a whole frame are evenly distributed on the rose lifting conveyor belt and evenly conveyed to the rose petals during the conveying process. Patent publication number CN216334508U discloses a rose placement device, which adjusts the orientation of roses during the transmission process through reasonable vibration, without the need for manual intervention, reducing injury to workers and damage to the flowers themselves.

[0004] However, rose petal processing is also a type of food processing, and it is necessary to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the conveyor belt to reduce the probability of food safety issues. Routine inspections rely solely on visual inspection, but simply "looking" clean is far from sufficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a raw material conveying device for rose processing, which is capable of self-cleaning and determines whether the process is clean by detecting the concentration of residual rose petals using a first odor sensor.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a raw material conveying device for rose processing, comprising a frame, a conveyor belt on the frame, and a driving component on the frame for driving the conveyor belt to move.

[0007] A cleaning component is installed at one end of the conveyor belt, which is used to clean the conveyor belt with steam;

[0008] A detection box is provided on one side of the cleaning component. The detection box is mounted on the conveyor belt. A first odor sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the detection box. The first odor sensor is used to detect the conveyor belt after steam cleaning.

[0009] It also includes a controller, which is used to acquire the olfactory data of the first odor sensor. When the concentration of the detected rose fragrance is greater than a preset value, it is determined that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt is not up to standard.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a housing, a conveyor belt extending into the middle section of the housing, and a steam generator located at the bottom of the housing.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the side wall of the box, and a cleaning roller is rotatably connected to the mounting base, with the cleaning roller abutting against the conveyor belt.

[0012] Furthermore, the testing chamber is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0013] Furthermore, an exhaust fan is installed on the top of the testing box.

[0014] Furthermore, a cooler is mounted on the conveyor belt, located on the side of the inspection box away from the cleaning components. The cooler includes several cooling fans, and a dust filter is installed at the air inlet of the cooling fans.

[0015] Furthermore, a second odor sensor is fixedly connected to the frame. The controller is used to acquire the olfactory data of the second odor sensor and determine the preset value of self-cleaning failure based on the fluctuation of the rose fragrance concentration detected by the second odor sensor.

[0016] Furthermore, the controller is used to reduce the speed of the drive components after determining that the conveyor belt is not self-cleaning properly.

[0017] Furthermore, a laminating machine is also installed on the conveyor belt. The laminating machine is located on the side of the inspection box away from the cleaning components. The laminating machine is used to apply a film to the area of ​​the conveyor belt that does not meet the self-cleaning standard after the controller determines that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt is not up to standard.

[0018] A membrane shovel is fixedly connected to the frame. The membrane shovel is located at the bottom of the conveyor belt and is used to remove the membrane from the conveyor belt.

[0019] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The conveyor belt can be used to transport roses, and workstations can be arranged along the conveyor belt for rose processing. The cleaning unit can be located at the end of the conveyor belt, and due to the conveyor belt's conveying and circulating mechanism, the cleaning unit can clean all areas of the conveyor belt surface without moving.

[0021] Since roses are used as a raw material in food processing, the cleanliness of the conveyor belt must be ensured. Therefore, the cleaning components use steam for cleaning. The steam, mixed with water vapor, has a certain rinsing and wetting ability, and its high temperature can kill bacteria and viruses to ensure the cleanliness of the conveyor belt. However, the cleaning effect is affected by the conveyor belt speed, the type of stain, and the amount of stain, so the cleaning effect needs to be tested.

[0022] Because rose petals have a strong fragrance, even their residue emits a scent. However, if not cleaned promptly, this residue will decompose and breed bacteria. Therefore, a primary odor sensor can be used to detect the amount of residue remaining in the cleaning process. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecular thermal motion; the higher the temperature, the more vigorous the molecular motion of odor molecules, and the faster their average speed. The primary odor sensor can detect odor molecules, and the high temperature of steam, in addition to disinfecting bacteria and viruses, also promotes the diffusion of odor molecules through its heating effect. This makes the diffusion process of odor molecules emitted from the residue more intense and easier for the primary odor sensor to capture.

[0023] The controller is used to acquire sniffing data, compare the sniffing data with preset values, and determine whether the cleaning meets the standards. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] It also includes a controller, which acquires the olfactory data from the first odor sensor 6. When the detected rose fragrance concentration exceeds a preset value, it determines that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is substandard. The controller is connected to an alarm 11, which can be either a buzzer or a signal light. The controller determines that the self-cleaning of the conveyor belt 2 is substandard and controls the alarm 11 to sound an alarm.

[0041] Conveyor belt 2 can be used to transport roses. Workstations can be arranged along conveyor belt 2 for rose processing. The loading point should be located between the inspection box 5 and the first workstation to ensure that the cleaning process occurs before the roses are loaded. The cleaning component 4 can be located at the end of conveyor belt 2, covering the turning point of conveyor belt 2. Due to the conveying and circulation mechanism of conveyor belt 2, the cleaning component 4 can clean all parts of the conveyor belt 2 surface without moving.

[0042] Since roses are used as a raw material in food processing, the cleanliness of conveyor belt 2 must be ensured. Therefore, cleaning component 4 uses steam for cleaning. The steam, mixed with water vapor, has a certain rinsing and wetting ability, and its high temperature can kill bacteria and viruses to ensure the cleanliness of conveyor belt 2. Conveyor belt 2 extends into the middle section of housing 401, so that the turning point of conveyor belt 2 is above steam generator 402. The steam generated by steam generator 402 can act on the curved surface of the turning point of conveyor belt 2 to increase the steam treatment area. Cleaning roller 404 directly contacts conveyor belt 2, rotating through the friction force generated by the movement of conveyor belt 2 to wipe conveyor belt 2 and remove water vapor. The cleanliness of cleaning roller 404 can be ensured by regular replacement.

[0043] However, cleaning is affected by the speed of the conveyor belt, the type of stain, and the amount of stain, so the cleaning effect needs to be tested.

[0044] Because roses have a strong fragrance, the first odor sensor 6 can be used to detect the amount of debris residue in cleaning tests. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecular thermal motion; the higher the temperature, the more vigorous the molecular motion of odor molecules, and the faster their average speed. The first odor sensor 6 can detect odor molecules, and the high temperature of steam, in addition to disinfecting bacteria and viruses, can also promote the diffusion of odor molecules through its heating effect, making the diffusion process of odor molecules emitted from debris more intense and easier for the first odor sensor 6 to capture.

[0045] However, odors may accumulate inside the detection chamber 5. Therefore, an exhaust fan 13 is installed on the top of the detection chamber 5 to remove the gas inside, thereby facilitating gas exchange and reducing odor residue. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12 can disinfect the inside of the detection chamber 5 to prevent bacteria from growing and producing odors that may interfere with the detection of the first odor sensor 6.

[0046] The controller acquires olfactory data from the first odor sensor 6. When the detected rose fragrance concentration exceeds a preset value, it indicates a large amount of residual debris, thus indicating that the self-cleaning of conveyor belt 2 is substandard. The controller will issue an alarm via alarm 11 to remind the user. The user can restore the cleanliness of conveyor belt 2 by reducing its conveying speed, decreasing material input, or performing active cleaning.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] The difference from the above embodiment is that a cooler 7 is mounted on the conveyor belt 2. The cooler 7 is located on the side of the detection box 5 away from the cleaning component 4. The cooler 7 includes several cooling fans 701, and a dust filter 702 is provided at the air inlet of the cooling fans 701.

[0049] Some rose-derived products require high freshness of the roses, as their petals are relatively thin. Higher temperatures may prematurely ripen them, affecting the quality of the derivative products. Therefore, a cooler 7 is additionally installed on the conveyor belt 2. The cooler 7 can effectively dissipate heat from the conveyor belt 2 to ensure that the rose petals are in a suitable temperature environment.

[0050] Since the cooling fan 701 needs to draw in air, dust may adhere to the conveyor belt 2 through the airflow from the cooling fan 701, causing contamination of the conveyor belt 2. Therefore, a dust filter 702 is provided at the air inlet of the cooling fan 701 to filter out dust entering the cooling fan 701 and reduce contamination of the conveyor belt 2.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] The difference from the above embodiment is that a second odor sensor 8 is bolted to the frame 1, and the controller is used to acquire the olfactory data of the second odor sensor 8 and determine the preset value of self-cleaning failure based on the fluctuation of rose fragrance concentration detected by the second odor sensor 8.

[0053] Normally, the intensity of rose fragrance can be used to assess the amount of residue. However, the intensity of rose fragrance varies between different varieties and batches, and the fragrance requirements for producing different rose derivatives also differ. Therefore, a second odor sensor 8 is installed on the frame 1. The second odor sensor 8 is used to detect the rose fragrance on the production line to determine the standard of rose fragrance intensity used on the production line. The intensity of rose fragrance on the production line is used to compensate for the preset value of self-cleaning failure, so that the preset value of self-cleaning failure fluctuates according to different situations to adapt to changing raw material conditions.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] The difference from the above embodiment is that the controller is used to reduce the speed of the drive unit 3 after determining that the conveyor belt 2 is not self-cleaning.

[0056] 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.

[0057] Example 5:

[0058] 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.

[0059] 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] 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.

[0062] 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.
