Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dehydrated vegetable processing technology, specifically to a transfer device for dehydrated vegetable processing. Background Technology

[0002] In dehydrated potato processing, washing is a crucial step in removing surface impurities and ensuring the quality of subsequent processes. After washing, potatoes need to be transferred quickly. Due to the differences in potato size, mixed processing can lead to uneven product specifications and inconsistent quality. Therefore, a transfer device that combines scooping and grading functions is essential for improving the level of automation in processing and product quality.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220077537U, a transfer device for dehydrated vegetable processing includes a first transfer body. A shock-absorbing structure is provided on the outer side of the first transfer body, and a support structure is provided on the right side of the first transfer body. This utility model utilizes a support plate, a first spring, a movable block, and a shock-absorbing air cushion. Two sets of support plates support the sides of the feeding box, respectively. The movable block on the outer wall of the feeding box moves within a movable groove on the inner side of the support plate and compresses the first spring. When the first and second transfer bodies are subjected to vibration, the first spring between the support plate and the feeding box weakens the vibration force and prevents the vibration force from being directly transmitted to the feeding box, thereby significantly reducing the impact of vibration on the feeding box. Furthermore, shock-absorbing air cushions are provided on the inner walls of both the feeding box and the transfer vehicle, providing secondary protection for the vegetables and thus achieving protection during the vegetable transfer process.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent allows potatoes to be transferred to the oven during use, it cannot grade them by size during transport. If potatoes of different sizes are not graded and transported into the oven together, smaller potatoes will be over-baked and larger potatoes will be under-baked, seriously affecting the taste, color, and quality uniformity of the final product. Therefore, a transfer device for dehydrated vegetable processing is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

The salvage mechanism includes a back plate, a vertical slide rail, an inclined slide rail, a first slider, a screen plate, a drain net box, a second chute, a second slider, and a first hydraulic cylinder; The back plate is connected to the top of the washing tank. The vertical slide rail and the inclined slide rail are opened on the front of the back plate. The vertical slide rail is located below the inclined slide rail. The top end of the vertical slide rail is connected to the bottom end of the inclined slide rail. The first slider is slidably connected inside the vertical slide rail and the inclined slide rail. The sieve plate is connected to the front of the first slider. The bottom of the sieve plate has a through-hole for grading potatoes of different sizes and volumes.

[0007] Preferably, the draining mesh box is connected to the bottom of the sieve tray, and the bottom of the draining mesh box has a through-hole for draining the potatoes.

[0008] The second chute is located on the outside of the bottom of the draining mesh box. The second slider is slidably connected inside the second chute. The bottom end of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to the bottom inner wall of the cleaning pool, and the top end of the first hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the second slider.

[0009] Preferably, the sieve disc is provided with a sieving mechanism, which includes a third sliding groove that extends through the inner wall of the back of the sieve disc. A third slider is slidably connected inside the third sliding groove. A push rod is connected to the left side of the third slider. The bottom of the push rod is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the sieve disc. Inclined surfaces are provided on both sides of the push rod. The push rod is used to push potatoes into the sieve holes.

[0010] Preferably, the front of the third slider is rotatably connected to a horizontal shaft, and a number of levers are connected to the middle of the horizontal shaft. The levers are used to move the potatoes in the sieve tray. A gear is connected to the rear end of the horizontal shaft, and a rack is connected to the back of the sieve tray. The gear meshes with the rack.

[0011] Preferably, the front of the back plate is connected to a telescopic rod via a crossbar, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod is connected to the top of the third slider. By setting the telescopic rod, the third slider is restricted to moving only up and down and cannot move left and right.

[0012] Preferably, the oven is equipped with a processing mechanism, which includes a first tray, a second tray connected to the bottom of the first tray, the first tray and the second tray being disposed inside the oven, an inclined slide connecting the left side of the first tray and the second tray, a protrusion connected to the lower left corner of the sieve tray, the protrusion contacting a second slider, a top rod connected to the inclined slide, and a baffle connected to the right side of the sieve tray and the drain mesh box via a hinge, the top rod contacting the baffle, and the baffle being able to rotate only clockwise under the action of the hinge.

[0013] Preferably, the first tray and the second tray are provided with a fourth sliding groove on their front and rear sides, and a fourth slider is slidably connected inside the fourth sliding groove.

Furthermore, the inclined setting of the arc-shaped sieve plate, combined with the grading of the sieve holes and the dense drainage holes of the bottom draining net box, works together to efficiently drain the moisture attached to the surface of the potatoes while achieving grading and screening. This further improves the drying efficiency of the subsequent oven baking process and effectively ensures the uniformity of the dryness of all potatoes before baking, laying the foundation for uniform baking.

[0016] 2. This invention achieves efficient and precise sieving of potatoes in the sieve trays delivered by the retrieval mechanism by setting up a sieving mechanism, and cleans the sieve holes in real time to avoid clogging and jamming. Furthermore, the smooth pushing of the horizontal push rod and the uniform turning of the vertical lever form a coordinated operation mode, which quickly separates potatoes of different sizes and guides them into the corresponding conveying channels, further improving the grading accuracy and efficiency. It effectively avoids the transfer delay caused by potato accumulation and provides a reliable guarantee for the smooth and simultaneous transfer of potatoes of different sizes to the drying oven.

[0017] 3. This invention achieves precise classification and targeted processing of potatoes of different sizes after grading by setting up a processing mechanism. It also features a differentiated processing design that uses adjustable-spacing cutters to uniformly slice large potatoes and elastic pressure plates to moderately flatten small potatoes. This significantly increases the surface area of ​​various types of potatoes exposed to heat, further improving the uniformity and thoroughness of dehydration and baking in the oven. It effectively avoids the problem of localized burning or undercooking caused by baking potatoes of different sizes together, ensuring the consistency of the quality and taste of the final dehydrated product from potatoes of different sizes.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-8 One embodiment of the present invention is: a transfer device for processing dehydrated vegetables, including a base 1, and further comprising: The washing tank 2 is located on top of the base 1 and is used to wash potatoes; Oven 3, located to the right of washing tank 2, is used for baking potatoes; The retrieval mechanism 4 is located above the washing pool 2 and is used to transport the washed potatoes into the drying oven 3. The salvage mechanism 4 includes a back plate 401, a vertical slide rail 402, an inclined slide rail 403, a first slider 404, a screen plate 405, a drain net box 406, a second chute 407, a second slider 408, and a first hydraulic cylinder 409. The back plate 401 is connected to the top of the washing tank 2. The vertical slide rail 402 and the inclined slide rail 403 are opened on the front of the back plate 401. The vertical slide rail 402 is located below the inclined slide rail 403. The top of the vertical slide rail 402 is connected to the bottom of the inclined slide rail 403. The first slider 404 is slidably connected inside the vertical slide rail 402 and the inclined slide rail 403. The sieve plate 405 is connected to the front of the first slider 404. The bottom of the sieve plate 405 is provided with sieve holes. The potatoes of different sizes and volumes are graded by setting the sieve holes.

[0022] The draining mesh box 406 is connected to the bottom of the sieve plate 405. The bottom of the draining mesh box 406 has a through-hole for draining the potatoes.

[0023] The second chute 407 is located on the bottom outside of the drain net box 406. The second slider 408 is slidably connected inside the second chute 407. The bottom end of the first hydraulic cylinder 409 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the washing pool 2, and the top end of the first hydraulic cylinder 409 is hinged to the second slider 408.

[0024] Working principle: First, potatoes are put into the washing tank 2 for washing. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 409 is turned on, which drives the second slider 408 and the draining mesh box 406 to move upward from the bottom of the washing tank 2. The upward movement of the draining mesh box 406 drives the screen plate 405 to move upward. As the screen plate 405 moves upward from the bottom of the washing tank 2, it scoops out the potatoes in the washing tank 2. As the first hydraulic cylinder 409 continues to lift, the screen plate 405 and the draining mesh box 406 will continue to move upward to the top of the washing tank 2 under the limiting action of the first slider 404 and the vertical slide rail 402. At this time, potatoes that are too small in the screen plate 405 will fall into the draining mesh box 406 through the screen holes under the action of gravity, and the potatoes will be drained through the draining holes. As the first slider 404 enters the interior of the inclined slide rail 403, with the continuous lifting of the first hydraulic cylinder 409, the sieve plate 405 and the draining mesh box 406 are conveyed towards the drying oven 3 under the limiting action of the inclined slide rail 403 and the first slider 404. This completes the harvesting, conveying, and grading of potatoes.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-8 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, a screening mechanism 5 is provided inside the sieve plate 405. The screening mechanism 5 includes a third sliding groove 501, which is opened through the inner wall of the back side of the sieve plate 405. A third slider 502 is slidably connected inside the third sliding groove 501. A push rod 503 is connected to the left side of the third slider 502. The bottom of the push rod 503 is in contact with the bottom inner wall of the sieve plate 405. Inclined surfaces are provided on both sides of the push rod 503. The potatoes are pushed into the sieve holes by setting the push rod 503.

[0026] The front of the third slider 502 is rotated through a horizontal shaft 504. Several levers 505 are connected to the middle of the horizontal shaft 504. The potatoes in the sieve plate 405 are moved by the levers 505. A gear 507 is connected to the rear end of the horizontal shaft 504. A rack 508 is connected to the back of the sieve plate 405. The gear 507 meshes with the rack 508.

[0027] The front of the back plate 401 is connected to a telescopic rod 506 via a crossbar. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 506 is connected to the top of the third slider 502. By setting the telescopic rod 506, the third slider 502 is restricted to move only up and down and cannot move left and right.

[0028] Working principle: As the sieve disc 405 moves upward and to the right under the limiting action of the first slider 404 and the inclined slide rail 403, the third slider 502 moves upward with the sieve disc 405 under the limiting action of the telescopic rod 506, while sliding inside the third slide groove 501. As the sieve disc 405 moves to the right, the push rod 503 pushes the potatoes in the sieve disc 405 to the right. Smaller potatoes fall through the sieve holes into the drain mesh box 406 under the action of gravity, while larger potatoes are scooped up by the inclined surface of the push rod 503, thus preventing larger potatoes from clogging the filter holes and improving the efficiency of potato screening. The sieve disc 405 moves to the right, causing the rack 508 to move to the right. The rack 508 moves to the right, causing the gear 507 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 507 causes the horizontal shaft 504 and the lever 505 to rotate. The rotation of the lever 505 moves the potatoes into the sieve holes, thereby further improving the sieving efficiency of the potatoes.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present invention, a processing mechanism 6 is provided inside the oven 3. The processing mechanism 6 includes a first tray 601, and a second tray 602 is connected to the bottom of the first tray 601. The first tray 601 and the second tray 602 are disposed inside the oven 3. An inclined slide is connected to the left side of the first tray 601 and the second tray 602. A protrusion 604 is connected to the lower left corner of the sieve tray 405. The protrusion 604 contacts the second slider 408. A top rod 603 is connected to the inclined slide. A baffle 6010 is connected to the right side of the sieve tray 405 and the drain mesh box 406 through a hinge. The top rod 603 contacts the baffle 6010. The baffle 6010 can only rotate clockwise under the action of the hinge.

[0030] The first tray 601 and the second tray 602 have fourth sliding grooves 605 on their front and rear sides. The fourth sliding groove 605 is slidably connected to the inside of the fourth sliding groove 606. The top fourth sliding groove 606 and the bottom fourth sliding groove 606 are connected by a connecting rod. The oven 3 is equipped with a second hydraulic cylinder 609. The top of the second hydraulic cylinder 609 is connected to the fourth sliding groove 606.

[0031] Several cutters 607 are connected to the top fourth slider 606 via a crossbar. The cutters 607 are located inside the first tray 601. A pressure plate 608 is connected to the fourth slider 606. The pressure plate 608 is located inside the second tray 602.

[0032] Working principle: As the draining mesh box 406 moves to the right, it drives the protrusion 604 to move to the right. During the movement of the protrusion 604 to the right, it will come into contact with the fourth slider 606. At this time, the left side of the draining mesh box 406 and the sieve plate 405 will be lifted, and the right side of the sieve plate 405 and the draining mesh box 406 will be connected to the inclined slides on the left side of the first tray 601 and the second tray 602, respectively. At the same time, the two baffles 6010 will come into contact with the top rod 603, and the baffles 6010 will be pushed open by the top rod 603. At this time, the large potatoes in the sieve plate 405 will roll into the first tray 601 along the top inclined slide, and the small potatoes in the draining mesh box 406 will roll into the second tray 602 along the bottom inclined slide. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 609 is activated, causing the fourth slider 606 and connecting rod to move downwards. The downward movement of the fourth slider 606 causes the cutter 607 and pressure plate 608 to move downwards simultaneously. During the downward movement of the cutter 607, the large potatoes in the first tray 601 are sliced, while the downward movement of the pressure plate 608 flattens the small potatoes in the second tray 602. This allows for different processing methods based on the size of the potatoes and improves the dehydration efficiency of the potatoes in the drying oven 3.

[0033] This invention provides a transfer device for processing dehydrated vegetables. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
