Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dried fruit production technology, and in particular to a conveying and feeding device and method for dried fruit production. Background Technology
[0002] In the industrial production process of dried fruit, the conveying and feeding process is a crucial link connecting the upstream and downstream processes. It mainly refers to the process of smoothly and orderly transporting the semi-finished or finished dried fruit products processed in the previous process to the subsequent packaging machines, weighing equipment, or the final production platform through conveying equipment. Efficient and stable conveying and feeding is essential for ensuring the continuity of the production line, reducing labor intensity, and minimizing secondary contamination and physical damage to the products. It directly affects the appearance, integrity, and overall production efficiency of the final product.
[0003] Existing fruit drying conveyor systems rely on a single drive method, directly conveying materials via a conveyor belt. This lack of precise material guidance and buffer protection makes the dried fruit prone to breakage due to impact or friction during transport, affecting the quality of the finished product. Furthermore, traditional systems often lack effective anti-blocking and cleaning mechanisms during unloading, causing materials to easily adhere to the surface of the conveying components, resulting in poor unloading or residue. This not only reduces efficiency but may also lead to equipment malfunctions or cleaning problems due to material accumulation. Summary of the Invention

[0014] A method of using a conveyor feeding device for dried fruit production, comprising the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Pour the dried fruit from the top of the feeding rack. The material is evenly guided by the inclined guide plates into the storage trough above the rotating drum. The spacing of the guide plates matches the storage trough to ensure that the dried fruit enters smoothly and does not pile up.
[0016] Step 2: The rack and pinion of conveyor 2 drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the drum to rotate. The receiving plate at the bottom of each storage tank is supported by spring 1 and elastic pad. Under the wrapping of the arc plate, the rotation of the drum makes the tank receive the material at the top and discharge the material at the bottom, gently supporting the dried fruit and reducing impact.
[0017] Step 3: When the storage tank rotates to the bottom, its side wall slider will detach from the limiting magnetic block at the bottom of the chute due to gravity and fall down the chute to hit the receiving plate. The impact will cause the receiving plate to vibrate, which will help the attached dried fruit to completely detach and achieve smooth feeding. When the gear rotates, it will cooperate with the auxiliary inclined plate to further prevent blockage.
[0018] Step 4: The detached dried fruit is guided by the guide plate and falls onto the carrying plate of conveyor one. Conveyor one and conveyor two work together to smoothly transport the material to the production platform at the end, completing the entire feeding process.
[0019] As can be seen from the above, the conveying and feeding device and method for dried fruit production provided by this invention, through the linkage design of gears and racks, achieves precise rotation of the drum as the conveyor moves, thereby enabling the timely and quantitative delivery of dried fruit materials to the conveyor. This linkage mechanism not only improves the automation level of feeding but also ensures the continuity and stability of material conveying, significantly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the storage trough on the drum, combined with the receiving plate supported by spring one and elastic pads, gently supports the dried fruit during rotation, reducing impact and damage during conveying and effectively maintaining the integrity of the material. When rotated to the bottom, the slider detaches from the limiting magnetic block due to gravity and falls along the chute to hit the receiving plate. Vibration helps the attached dried fruit to completely detach, further ensuring smooth feeding and avoiding blockage. At the same time, the guide plate, baffle plate, and auxiliary inclined plate in the device work together to optimize the material guidance and anti-blockage function, making the entire feeding process more efficient and reliable. Finally, the coordinated operation of conveyor one and conveyor two, as well as the timed and quantitative conveying of the carrying plate, ensures that the material can be delivered to the production platform smoothly and orderly, providing a stable and reliable material supply for subsequent production stages. The overall device has a reasonable structural design and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0030] The present invention discloses a conveying and feeding device and method for dried fruit production. It is mainly used in scenarios where the unloading process often lacks an effective anti-blocking and cleaning mechanism, and materials are easily adhered to the surface of the conveying components, causing poor unloading or residue. This not only reduces efficiency, but may also cause equipment failure or cleaning due to material accumulation.

Turntables 6 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the rotating rod 13. Gears 16 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the turntables 6. Several storage troughs 26 are formed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 21. Springs 27 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the bottom of the storage troughs 26. A receiving plate 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of each spring 27. Elastic pads 23 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the receiving plate 22. The elastic pads 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 26. Conveyor frames 2 are installed on the outer walls of both sides of the production platform 1. A base 5 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the bottom of the conveyor frame 2. A first conveyor 4 is installed on the inner wall of the conveyor frame 2. A second conveyor 7 is installed on the inner wall of the base 5. A rack 8 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the second conveyor 7. A fixing rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 9. An arc plate 15 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the fixing rod 17. Several sliding grooves 20 are opened on the outer walls of both sides of the rotating drum 21. A slider 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 20.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the arc plate 15 is adapted to the size of the rotating drum 21, and the inner walls on both sides of the bottom of the feeding rack 11 are fixedly connected with guide plates 18. The spacing of the guide plates 18 is adapted to the size of the storage trough 26, and the size of the storage trough 26 is adapted to the spacing of the arc plate 15. The gear 16 meshes with the rack 8.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the rotating cylinder 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc plate 15, and the outer walls on both sides of the mounting bracket 9 are provided with limit holes. The inner walls of the limit holes are connected to locking knobs 10 by threads, and the base 5 is adapted to the size of the support foot 12.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the storage tank 26 and the slide 20 are both arranged in a ring array. The bottom inner wall of the slide 20 is fixedly connected to a limiting magnetic block 25. The slide 20 is connected to the storage tank 26. The slider 24 is adapted to the size of the receiving plate 22.
[0035] Specifically, dried fruit is fed from the top of the feeding rack 11, and is evenly guided by the inclined guide plates 18 on both sides of its bottom, falling into the storage troughs 26 distributed in a ring on the outer wall of the rotating drum 21. Each storage trough 26 has an arc-shaped receiving plate 22 at the bottom supported by spring 27 and elastic pad 23, forming a buffer structure that effectively absorbs the impact at the moment of receiving the fruit, protecting the dried fruit from damage. When the conveyor 7 is running, the racks 8 on both sides of its side mesh with the gears 16 on the turntable 6, driving the rotating rod 13 to rotate the entire rotating drum 21. The arc-shaped plates 15 fixed by the fixing rod 17 on both sides of the rotating drum 21 wrap around it, so that the storage troughs 26 only receive the fruit at the top opening and can only open to discharge the fruit when rotating to the bottom, realizing an orderly "top in, bottom out" process. In the "discharge" process, the key material feeding auxiliary mechanism is the slider 24. The slider 24 is slidably connected to the grooves 20 on both sides of the rotating drum 21 and is temporarily attracted and fixed by the limiting magnetic block 25. When the material storage tank 26 is rotated to the top, the slider 24 is located at the bottom of the groove 20 due to gravity. When the material storage tank 26 is rotated to the bottom feeding position, the slider 24 overcomes the magnetic force due to gravity, disengages from the limiting magnetic block 25, slides down the groove 20 and hits the receiving plate 22 below it. The vibration generated by this impact can effectively promote the complete removal of the dried fruit attached to the receiving plate 22, achieving smooth and residue-free feeding. The fed material is finally guided by the guide plate 18 and falls onto the bearing plate 3 of the conveyor 4, and is steadily transported to the production platform 1.
[0036] This design is particularly suitable for soft and easily damaged dried fruit products. In traditional tilting or scraper feeding methods, these products are prone to breakage due to collisions and squeezing, affecting the yield and appearance. By using spring-buffered feeding, rotating fixed-point feeding, and sliding block 24 to assist in feeding, the direct impact of mechanical force on the dried fruit is greatly reduced. At the same time, the quantitative design of the storage tank 26, combined with the uniform rotation of the drum 21, enables approximately quantitative and uniform feeding of materials to subsequent production processes, improving the automation level and cycle stability of the production line.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the top outer wall of the feeding rack 11 is provided with a feeding port, and a scale 14 is installed on one side outer wall of the feeding rack 11. The size of the turntable 6 is adapted to that of the fixed rod 17. Several bearing plates 3 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conveyor 4, and the bearing plates 3 are distributed in a linear array.
[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the receiving plate 22 is arc-shaped and its size is adapted to the storage tank 26. The turntable 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the loading rack 11.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, the guide plate 18 is inclined, and the outer walls on both sides of the bottom of the guide plate 18 are fixedly connected to the baffle plate 19. A plurality of mounting holes 30 are opened on one side of the outer wall of the baffle plate 19, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 30 is slidably connected to the support rod 32.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, a pressure block 28 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the support rod 32, and an auxiliary inclined plate 29 is fixedly connected to the other outer wall of the support rod 32. The auxiliary inclined plate 29 is adapted to the size of the baffle plate 19. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the baffle plate 19 is adapted to the height of the gear 16. The pressure block 28 is semi-circular and is adapted to the size of the mounting hole 30. An annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 30, and a spring 33 is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove. An annular plate 31 is fixedly connected to one outer wall of the support rod 32, and the size of the annular plate 31 is adapted to the size of the spring 33.
[0041] Specifically, to address the issue of dried fruit sticking and accumulating in the gaps of the guide plate 18, baffle plates 19 are fixed to both sides of the bottom of the guide plate 18. Multiple mounting holes 30 are provided on the outer side of these baffle plates 19. A support rod 32 passes through the mounting holes 30, with one end connected to an auxiliary inclined plate 29 located above the gaps in the guide plate 18, and the other end connected to a pressure block 28. The core drive originates from a continuously rotating gear 16. During rotation, the teeth of the gear 16 periodically contact and press against the semi-circular pressure block 28. When the pressure block 28 is subjected to force, it pushes the support rod 32 inward. The spring 33, which is externally sleeved, is located in the annular groove of the mounting hole 30 and acts on the annular plate 31. When the gear 16 passes the pressure block 28, the restoring force of the spring 33 quickly pushes the support rod 32 and the auxiliary inclined plate 29 back to their original positions. This process causes the auxiliary inclined plate 29 to generate high-frequency, small-amplitude reciprocating vibration or oscillation in the gap of the guide plate 18, which can effectively move and loosen the material that may be stuck on the inclined surface or gap of the guide plate 18 and guide it smoothly to the rotating drum 21 below, thereby preventing blockage from the source.
[0042] When processing dried fruits with high sugar content or poor humidity control, the products have poor flowability on inclined surfaces and are prone to accumulation. In continuous high-intensity production environments, the production line cannot be easily stopped for cleaning. An active, synchronously operating anti-clogging device can ensure the continuity of production. Uneven material size or the presence of debris can easily cause small debris to get stuck in gaps and gradually lead to blockages. Vibration cleaning can shake these debris off in time. This design cleverly combines the drive source and the actuator, requiring no additional power. It uses the device's own operating power to complete the cleaning operation synchronously, achieving a highly efficient and energy-saving self-maintenance function.
[0043] A method of using a conveyor feeding device for dried fruit production, comprising the following steps:
[0044] Step 1: Pour the dried fruit from the top of the feeding rack 11. The material is evenly guided by the inclined guide plate 18 into the storage tank 26 above the rotating drum 21. The spacing of the guide plate 18 matches the storage tank 26 to ensure that the dried fruit enters smoothly and does not pile up.
[0045] Step 2: The rack 8 of conveyor 27 drives the gear 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the drum 21 to rotate. The receiving plate 22 at the bottom of each storage trough 26 is supported by spring 1 27 and elastic pad 23. Under the wrapping of the arc plate 15, the rotating drum 21 rotates so that the trough receives material at the top and discharges material at the bottom, gently supporting the dried fruit and reducing impact.
[0046] Step 3: When the storage tank 26 rotates to the bottom, its side wall slider is disengaged from the limiting magnetic block 25 at the bottom of the slide 20 due to gravity, and falls down the slide 20 to hit the receiving plate 22. The impact causes the receiving plate 22 to vibrate, which helps the attached dried fruit to completely detach, achieving smooth feeding. When the gear 16 rotates, it cooperates with the auxiliary inclined plate 29 to further prevent blockage.
[0047] Step 4: The detached dried fruit is guided by the guide plate 18 and falls onto the support plate 3 of the conveyor 4. The conveyor 4 and the conveyor 7 work together to smoothly transport the material to the production platform 1 at the end, completing the entire feeding process.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
