Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of agricultural and sideline product processing technology, and in particular to a purifying and packaging device for scallions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently in my country, scallion cultivation has achieved regionalized and large-scale production, with concentrated main production areas and stable yields. Post-harvest processing of scallions still relies heavily on traditional manual labor, typically involving multiple steps such as picking, root removal, leaf trimming, removal of old and withered leaves, washing, draining, bundling, and packaging. This entire process is highly manual. This method is not only inefficient but also lacks standardization, often resulting in unevenly trimmed white parts, incomplete removal of old leaves, and residual dirt during washing, all of which negatively impact the appearance, quality, and shelf life of the scallions.

[0003] Therefore, the existing technology lacks automated mechanical processing equipment for large-scale scallion harvesting, resulting in low efficiency in packaging and shipping and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 1-11 As shown in this embodiment, a scallion purification and packaging device is provided, which includes a base frame 1. The base frame 1 is mainly equipped with scallion feeding funnel 2, transportation component 3, washing device 4, root cutting component 5, sorting component 6, guide plate 8, packaging component 9, weighing 10, labeling device 11, conveyor belt 12 and other main functional components.

[0019] The system includes a scallion-feeding funnel 2 located at the top of the base frame 1. Scallions are placed into the funnel 2, which guides them down to the transport component 3. The transport component 3, located on the base frame 1 below the funnel 2, transports the scallions to the sorting component 6. A scrubbing device 4, located on the base frame 1 to one side of the transport component 3, scrubs the scallions on the transport component 3. A root-cutting component 5, located on the base frame 1 to both sides of the transport component 3, cuts the roots of the scallions during transport. The sorting component 6, located on the base frame 1 below the front end of the transport component 3, sorts the scallions from the transport component 3. Good scallions are poured into the packaging component 9 for packaging and shipment, while bad scallions are poured into the guide plate 8 for removal. The guide plate 8, located on the base frame 1 to one side of the sorting component 6, guides the bad scallions to a storage box. The packaging component 9 is located on the base frame 1, on the side of the sorting component 6 away from the guide plate 8, and is used to package and seal the good scallions before pouring them into the weighing container 10. The weighing container 10 is located on the base frame 1 below the packaging component 9 and is used to weigh the packaged scallions before pouring them onto the conveyor belt 12. The conveyor belt 12 is located on the base frame 1 below the weighing container 10 and is used to transport the packaged and weighed scallions out for shipment. Additionally, a labeling device 11 is located above the conveyor belt 12, which can press weight labels and even price labels onto each package of scallions on the conveyor belt 12.

[0020] Specifically, for transporting scallions, the transport component 3 in this embodiment includes a support frame 31 disposed on the top of the base frame 1, a receiving platform 37 disposed in the middle of the support frame 31, chains 32 disposed on both sides of the receiving platform 37, and a first motor 34 mounted on one side of the support frame 31. The output end of the first motor 34 is connected to a drive shaft 33, and a sprocket 35 is mounted on the drive shaft 33 to assemble with the chain 32; bearing seats 36 are also disposed on both sides of the support frame 31, and a driven shaft 38 is disposed between the bearing seats 36, and a sprocket 35 is also mounted on the driven shaft 38 to assemble with the chain 32, thereby forming a balanced support for the entire chain 32. Meanwhile, the chain 32 is also equipped with densely packed dividing posts 39 to limit and support the falling scallions. In this way, when the first motor 34 drives the chain 32 through the drive shaft 33 and the sprocket 35, the dividing posts 39 on the chain 32 can push the scallions to move and be conveyed horizontally on the receiving platform 37, and effectively be washed by the washing device 4 and cut by the root cutting component 5.

[0021] Specifically, the scrubbing device 4 in this embodiment includes a support block 41 mounted on a base frame 1, a slider 46 slidably mounted on the support block 41, a second motor 43 and a third motor 44 mounted on the slider 46 via an adapter plate, and a brush 42 mounted on the output end of the second motor 43. A rack 47 is also provided on the support block 41, and a pinion 45 that meshes with the rack 47 is provided on the output end of the third motor 44. Thus, the third motor 44 can drive itself and the second motor 43 to move laterally through the meshing of the pinion 45 and the rack 47, thereby adjusting the position of the brush 42 to the surface of the scallion. Subsequently, the second motor 43 can drive the brush 42 to rotate and scrub the surface of the scallion.

[0022] Specifically, the root-cutting component 5 in this embodiment includes a bracket 51 disposed on the base frame 1 and blades 52 disposed on both sides of the bracket 51. When the scallion on the receiving platform 37 is pushed and moved horizontally, the root can be cut off when passing the blades 52 on both sides.

[0023] Specifically, the sorting component 6 in this embodiment includes support bases 61 on both sides of the base frame 1, a fourth motor 62 and a fifth motor 68 respectively mounted on the support bases 61. The output end of the fourth motor 62 is connected to a sorting groove 65 via shaft A620, and the output end of the fifth motor 68 is connected to an auxiliary roller 67 via shaft B680. The auxiliary roller 67 extends into the sorting groove 65. Simultaneously, a limiting member 66 is provided on the inner wall of the sorting groove 65. When the scallions conveyed on the receiving platform 37 of the transport component 3 fall, the scallions enter the sorting groove 65 and are positioned by the limiting member 66. A camera 7 for capturing images is also provided on the base frame 1. The camera 7 monitors the quality of the scallions, thereby controlling the sorting direction. This can be done manually or automatically using artificial intelligence. During sorting, the fourth motor 62 can drive the sorting trough 65 to rotate and tilt the scallions, and the fifth motor 68 can drive the auxiliary roller 67 to rotate to help the scallions fall. Good scallions are poured into the packaging component 9 for packaging and shipment, while bad scallions are poured into the guide plate 8 for removal.

[0024] Specifically, the packaging assembly 9 in this embodiment includes a base frame 90 mounted on the base frame 1, and a film roller 91, a film pressing component 92, a thermoplastic component 93, and a gripping assembly disposed inside the base frame 90. A servo motor A920 is mounted on one side of the base frame 90 to drive the film pressing component 92 to rotate. A sixth motor 94 is mounted on one side of the base frame 90 to drive the thermoplastic component 93 to rotate. During operation, the gripping assembly can grab the film on the film roller 91 and move it to the film pressing component 92. When the film pressing component 92 rotates, it can squeeze the film onto the thermoplastic component 93. Subsequently, the thermoplastic component 93 rotates itself to wrap the falling scallions with the film, and then performs three-point sealing through heat fusion, sealing at both ends and the middle, and cutting the film. Afterward, the gripping assembly can continue to grab the film for subsequent scallion packaging. The sealed scallions are flipped by the thermoplastic component 93 and fall into the weighing 10 for subsequent processing.

[0025] More specifically, the gripper assembly in this embodiment includes servo plates 98 disposed on both sides of the base frame 90, a servo C97 mounted on the servo plates 98, a servo mount 96 connected to the output end of the servo C97 via a crank-slider structure 970, a servo B95 mounted on the servo mount 96, and a gripper 951 connected to the output end of the servo B95 via an eccentric connecting rod 950. The servo B95 can drive the gripper 951 to tighten or loosen via the eccentric connecting rod 950, and the servo C97 can drive the servo mount 96 and the servo B95 to move laterally via the crank-slider structure 970, thereby causing the gripper 951 to move laterally. Figure 10 The crank-slider structure 970 is an existing structure. It can achieve lateral movement by combining the rotation between the smooth rod, the slide block and several connecting rods. It will not be described in detail here.

[0026] In addition, a seventh motor 100 is provided on one side of the weighing 10 in this embodiment. The seventh motor 100 can drive the weighing 10 to flip, thereby pouring the packaged and weighed scallions onto the conveyor belt 12. In this way, the entire process is continuous and smooth, which can fully realize the semi-automated or even fully automated scallion processing process, which is efficient and labor-saving.
