Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ripe fruit conveying technology, and particularly relates to a ripe fruit conveying and processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Ripe fruits (such as raw materials for canned fruits, dried fruit processing, and steamed fruit and vegetable products that have undergone steaming, blanching, or pre-cooking) are important raw materials in the food processing industry, and their conveying process directly affects product quality, yield, and production line efficiency. Currently, most domestic food processing enterprises use stainless steel chain conveyor belts (such as the TS-T30B model) to transport ripe fruits uphill.

[0003] Ripe fruit softens in flesh and becomes brittle in peel after high-temperature treatment, resulting in a significant decrease in mechanical properties and extremely low tolerance to impact, compression, and friction. The feed end of existing conveyor equipment is mostly a direct-fall structure, where ripe fruit falls directly from the discharge port of the upstream equipment into the chain plate. The impact force from the drop can easily cause the fruit to crack and lose juice, resulting in unnecessary economic losses.

[0004] To address the problem that ripe fruit is prone to cracking and juice loss due to the impact of the drop at the feeding end, a ripe fruit conveying and processing device is provided to solve the above-mentioned production problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a ripe fruit conveying and processing device to solve the problem that ripe fruit is prone to cracking and juice loss due to the impact of the drop at the feeding end.

[0006] This invention provides a ripe fruit conveying and processing device, comprising: The bracket has an internal conveying chamber, and a first motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket. A first roller is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor, and a second roller is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the conveying chamber. A first conveying chain plate is sleeved on the side wall of the first roller and the second roller, and a second motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket. A fourth roller is fixedly installed on one side of the second motor, and a third roller is provided below the second roller. The third roller is rotatably installed inside the conveying chamber, and a second conveying chain plate is sleeved on the side wall of the fourth roller and the third roller. A PLC control center is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket, and a feeding hopper is provided above the first conveying chain plate. The feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the top surface of the bracket, and a rubber sleeve is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the feeding hopper. An inclined rubber pad is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rubber sleeve, and the first motor, the second motor, and the PLC control center are connected by wires. A stirring device is provided inside the feeding hopper, and a cleaning device is provided on one side of the feeding hopper. First, ripe fruit is fed into the hopper. The rubber sleeve and inclined rubber pad on the inner wall of the hopper provide cushioning and guidance, reducing the impact of the ripe fruit and thus protecting it and reducing the damage rate. Then, the first and second motors are started by the PLC control center. The first, second, third, and fourth rollers work together to move the first and second conveyor chains. The first and second conveyor chains are composed of stainless steel mesh chains and silicone anti-slip strips. The mesh chain has drainage holes, and the anti-slip strips prevent the ripe fruit from sliding down, reducing the impact of the ripe fruit. Their softness protects the ripe fruit, further reducing damage and improving the safety of the conveying process.

[0007] Preferably, the stirring device includes a third motor fixedly installed on the top of the feed hopper, and the output end of the third motor extends into the interior of the feed hopper and is fixedly installed with a connecting rod. Two stirring shafts are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the connecting rod, and the third motor is connected to the PLC control center by wires. When ripe fruit is placed into the hopper, the third motor is started through the PLC control center. The third motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the two stirring shafts at the bottom of the connecting rod will rotate and stir the ripe fruit inside the hopper to prevent the ripe fruit from piling up and facilitate the conveying work. The speed of the third motor is relatively slow, and the stirring shafts will rotate slowly inside the hopper to prevent the stirring shafts from rotating too fast and damaging the ripe fruit inside the hopper, thus improving the safety of use.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a water tank on one side of the support, and a water pump on one side of the water tank. A water supply pipe is provided above the first conveyor chain plate, and multiple cleaning nozzles are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the water supply pipe. The water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support, and the water tank, water pump, and water supply pipe are connected in a continuous manner. The water pump is connected to the PLC control center by wires. During the conveying process, the water pump is started through the PLC control center. The water pump draws water from inside the water tank through the water delivery pipe, and then sprays it out through the cleaning nozzle located above the first conveyor chain plate on the bottom of the water delivery pipe to clean the ripe fruit that has passed through the cleaning nozzle.

[0009] Preferably, a fourth motor is provided on one side of the water supply pipe, and the fourth motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket 1. A first cleaning shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the fourth motor, and a first flexible cleaning brush is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first cleaning shaft. The fourth motor is connected to the PLC control hub by wires. The fourth motor can be started via the PLC control center. The fourth motor will drive the first cleaning shaft to rotate, which in turn will drive the first flexible cleaning brush to rotate. After the ripe fruit passes through the cleaning nozzle, it will pass through the first flexible cleaning brush. The rotating first flexible cleaning brush will clean up some dirt on the surface of the ripe fruit that was not swept away by the water flow, improving the cleaning quality. In addition, the speed of the fourth motor is relatively slow to avoid scratching the ripe fruit due to excessive speed, thus improving the safety of use.

[0010] Preferably, a fifth motor is provided below the first conveyor chain plate, and the fifth motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket. A second cleaning shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the fifth motor, and a second flexible cleaning brush is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second cleaning shaft. The fifth motor is started by the PLC control center. The fifth motor will drive the second cleaning shaft to rotate, and the second cleaning shaft will drive the second flexible cleaning brush to rotate. When the first conveyor chain passes the second flexible cleaning brush, the rotating second flexible cleaning brush will brush off the sugar and pectin residue left by ripe fruit on the surface of the first conveyor chain, and clean it in time to avoid the sugar and pectin becoming inconvenient to clean after too long.

[0011] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket, and a drain valve is fixedly installed on the outer end of the drain pipe; The washing water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle will accumulate inside the bracket. The drain valve can be opened periodically to drain the wastewater accumulated inside the bracket. In addition, a filter screen is installed at the water inlet of the drain pipe to prevent impurities from clogging the drain valve.

[0012] Preferably, the interior of the conveying cavity is provided with a guide slope, and the guide slope is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the conveying cavity; The guide slope provides a certain guiding effect, allowing sewage to move along the surface of the guide slope towards the drain pipe, facilitating sewage discharge.

[0013] Preferably, the side wall of the bracket is provided with a cleaning groove, and the inner wall of the cleaning groove is provided with a sealing groove. A sealing plate is slidably installed inside the sealing groove, and the inner wall of the sealing groove is provided with a first pin groove and a second pin groove. The side wall of the sealing plate is provided with a threaded groove, and a fixing bolt is threaded inside the threaded groove. After completing the sewage discharge, rotate the fixing bolt to disengage its front end from the first pin slot. Then, move the fixing bolt upwards, causing the sealing plate to move upwards. Once the fixing bolt reaches one side of the second pin slot, rotate it again to slide it into the second pin slot. This will fix the sealing plate and expose the cleaning groove, making it easier to clean large debris inside the bracket. After cleaning, move the sealing plate to seal the cleaning groove and slide the fixing bolt into the first pin slot to fix the sealing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the sidewall of the sealing plate is fitted with a rubber sealing sleeve, and the sidewall of the stirring shaft is fitted with a rubber protective sleeve. Rubber sealing sleeves improve the sealing effect of the sealing plate and reduce the possibility of water leakage, while rubber protective sleeves increase the flexibility of the stirring shaft sidewalls, reduce the impact force when stirring ripe fruit, improve stirring safety, and reduce damage. Beneficial effects

[0015] First, ripe fruit is fed into the hopper. The rubber sleeve and inclined rubber pad on the inner wall of the hopper provide cushioning and guidance, reducing the impact of the ripe fruit and thus protecting it and reducing the damage rate. Then, the first and second motors are started by the PLC control center. The first, second, third, and fourth rollers work together to move the first and second conveyor chains. The first and second conveyor chains are composed of stainless steel mesh chains and silicone anti-slip strips. The mesh chain has drainage holes, and the anti-slip strips prevent the ripe fruit from sliding down, reducing the impact of the ripe fruit. Their softness protects the ripe fruit, further reducing damage and improving the safety of the conveying process.

[0016] When ripe fruit is placed into the hopper, the third motor is started through the PLC control center. The third motor drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the two stirring shafts at the bottom of the connecting rod will rotate and stir the ripe fruit inside the hopper to prevent the ripe fruit from piling up and facilitate the conveying work. The speed of the third motor is relatively slow, and the stirring shafts will rotate slowly inside the hopper to prevent the stirring shafts from rotating too fast and damaging the ripe fruit inside the hopper, thus improving the safety of use.

[0017] 3. During the conveying process, the water pump is started via the PLC control center. The water pump draws water from inside the water tank through the water pipe and then sprays it out through the cleaning nozzles located above the first conveyor chain plate on the bottom of the water pipe. This cleans the ripe fruit passing through the cleaning nozzles. The fourth motor is started via the PLC control center, which drives the first cleaning shaft to rotate. The first cleaning shaft then drives the first flexible cleaning brush to rotate. After passing through the cleaning nozzles, the ripe fruit passes through the first flexible cleaning brush. The rotating first flexible cleaning brush cleans away any dirt that was not swept away by the water flow, improving the cleaning quality. The fourth motor rotates at a relatively slow speed to avoid scratching the ripe fruit due to excessive speed, thus improving safety during use.

[0029] In this embodiment, a fourth motor 22 is provided on one side of the water supply pipe 20, and the fourth motor 22 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bracket 1. A first cleaning shaft 23 is fixedly installed at the output end of the fourth motor 22, and a first flexible cleaning brush 24 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first cleaning shaft 23. The fourth motor 22 is wired to the PLC control center 11. The fourth motor 22 can be started by the PLC control center 11. The fourth motor 22 will drive the first cleaning shaft 23 to rotate, and the first cleaning shaft 23 will drive the first flexible cleaning brush 24 to rotate. After the ripe fruit passes through the cleaning nozzle 21, it will pass through the first flexible cleaning brush 24. The rotating first flexible cleaning brush 24 will clean some stains on the surface of the ripe fruit that have not been swept away by the water flow, improving the cleaning quality.

A filter screen is provided at the water inlet end of the drain pipe 28 to prevent impurities from clogging the drain valve 29.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inside of the conveying cavity 2 is provided with a guide slope 30, and the guide slope 30 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the conveying cavity 2; the guide slope 30 will provide a certain guiding effect, so that the sewage will move along the surface of the guide slope 30 towards the drain pipe 28, which facilitates the sewage discharge work.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side wall of the bracket 1 is provided with a cleaning groove 31, and the inner wall of the cleaning groove 31 is provided with a sealing groove 32. A sealing plate 33 is slidably installed inside the sealing groove 32, and the inner wall of the sealing groove 32 is provided with a first pin groove 36 and a second pin groove 37. The side wall of the sealing plate 33 is provided with a threaded groove 34, and a fixing bolt 35 is threadedly installed inside the threaded groove 34. After the sewage discharge is completed, the fixing bolt 35 can be rotated so that the front end of the fixing bolt 35 engages with the first pin groove 36. After detaching, move the fixing bolt 35 upward. The fixing bolt 35 will drive the sealing plate 33 to move upward. When the fixing bolt 35 moves to one side of the second pin groove 37, rotate the fixing bolt 35 so that the fixing bolt 35 slides into the second pin groove 37, thereby fixing the sealing plate 33 and exposing the cleaning groove 31 for easy cleaning of large debris inside the bracket 1. After cleaning is completed, move the sealing plate 33 to seal the cleaning groove 31, and slide the fixing bolt 35 into the first pin groove 36 to fix the sealing plate 33.

[0034] In this embodiment, the side wall of the sealing plate 33 is fitted with a rubber sealing sleeve 38, and the side wall of the stirring shaft 17 is fitted with a rubber protective sleeve 39. The rubber sealing sleeve 38 will improve the sealing effect of the sealing plate 33 and reduce the possibility of water seepage, while the rubber protective sleeve 39 will improve the flexibility of the side wall of the stirring shaft 17, reduce the impact force suffered when stirring the ripe fruit, improve the stirring safety, and reduce damage.

[0035] Working principle: First, ripe fruit is fed into the feed hopper 12. The rubber sleeve 13 and inclined rubber pad 14 on the inner wall of the feed hopper 12 provide a buffering and guiding effect, reducing the impact of the ripe fruit and thus protecting it and reducing the damage rate. Then, the PLC control center 11 starts the first motor 4 and the second motor 9. The first roller 3, the second roller 5, the third roller 7, and the fourth roller 8 work together to move the first conveyor chain plate 6 and the second conveyor chain plate 10. The first conveyor chain plate 6 and the second conveyor chain plate 10 are composed of a stainless steel mesh chain and silicone anti-slip strips. The mesh chain has drainage holes, and the anti-slip strips prevent the ripe fruit from sliding down and reduce the impact caused by the ripe fruit. The rubber protective sleeve 39, with its soft properties, can protect ripe fruit, further reduce damage, and improve conveying safety. The third motor 15 is started by the PLC control center 11. The third motor 15 will drive the connecting rod 16 to rotate, and the two stirring shafts 17 on the bottom of the connecting rod 16 will rotate and stir the ripe fruit inside the feed hopper 12 to prevent the ripe fruit from accumulating and facilitate the conveying work. The speed of the third motor 15 is relatively slow, and the stirring shafts 17 will rotate slowly inside the feed hopper 12 to prevent the stirring shafts 17 from rotating too fast and causing damage to the ripe fruit inside the feed hopper 12. The rubber protective sleeve 39 will increase the softness of the side wall of the stirring shaft 17 and reduce the impact force when stirring the ripe fruit.

[0036] The PLC control center 11 starts the water pump 19, which draws water from the water tank 18 through the water pipe 20. The water is then sprayed out through the cleaning nozzle 21, located above the first conveyor chain plate 6 on the bottom of the water pipe 20, cleaning the ripe fruit passing through the cleaning nozzle 21. The PLC control center 11 also starts the fourth motor 22, which drives the first cleaning shaft 23 to rotate. The first cleaning shaft 23 then drives the first flexible cleaning brush 24 to rotate. After passing through the cleaning nozzle 21, the ripe fruit passes through the first flexible cleaning brush 24, which cleans away any dirt not yet removed by the water flow, improving cleaning quality. Furthermore, the fourth motor 22 rotates at a relatively slow speed to avoid... If the rotation speed is too high and the ripe fruit is scratched, the fifth motor 25 will be started through the PLC control center 11. The fifth motor 25 will drive the second cleaning shaft 26 to rotate, and the second cleaning shaft 26 will drive the second flexible cleaning brush 27 to rotate. When the first conveyor chain plate 6 passes the second flexible cleaning brush 27, the rotating second flexible cleaning brush 27 will brush off the sugar liquid and pectin left by the ripe fruit on the surface of the first conveyor chain plate 6, and clean it in time to avoid the sugar liquid and pectin becoming inconvenient to clean after too long. The washing water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 21 will accumulate inside the bracket 1. The drain valve 29 can be opened at regular intervals to drain the sewage accumulated inside the bracket 1. The inlet end of the drain pipe 28 is equipped with a filter screen to prevent impurities from clogging the drain valve 29.

[0037] After the sewage discharge is completed, the fixing bolt 35 can be rotated to disengage the front end of the fixing bolt 35 from the first pin groove 36. Then, the fixing bolt 35 is moved upward, which will cause the sealing plate 33 to move upward. When the fixing bolt 35 moves to one side of the second pin groove 37, the fixing bolt 35 is rotated again to slide into the second pin groove 37, thus fixing the sealing plate 33 and exposing the cleaning groove 31 for easy cleaning of large debris inside the bracket 1. After cleaning is completed, the sealing plate 33 is moved to seal the cleaning groove 31, and the fixing bolt 35 is slid into the first pin groove 36 to fix the sealing plate 33.
