Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flower tea cleaning and conveying technology, and specifically to an automated conveying device based on flower tea cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of flower tea, freshly picked flowers must undergo a cleaning process to remove dust, mud, insects, and insect eggs attached to their surface before they can enter the subsequent withering and drying stages. Currently, the common process route is a combination of bubble spray cleaning and continuous conveying with stainless steel mesh belts. The tumbling action of bubbles generated by bottom aeration removes impurities from the surface of the materials. At the same time, a horizontal mesh belt transports the materials from the feed end to the discharge end of the cleaning tank. Existing flower tea cleaning and conveying devices assume that impurities will be washed down and sink to the bottom of the aeration tank after passing through the mesh belt. Then, the impurities at the bottom of the tank are filtered and collected by the circulating filtration unit and the water is recycled.
[0003] However, during the cleaning process, most of the live insects are washed off the flowers and float on the surface of the water, making it difficult for them to sink to the bottom of the pool. The fresh flowers also accumulate in multiple layers and float on the surface. Even though existing technology adds rotating paddles to push the flowers into the water, the flowers are still piled up. Aeration and spraying cannot work on each layer of flowers at the same time. As a result, the flowers that are not thoroughly cleaned and the live insects floating on the surface of the water are carried into the next step along with the conveyor belt, reducing the quality of the finished flower tea.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an automated conveying device for cleaning flower tea, which solves the problem that aeration and spraying cannot be applied to every layer of fresh flowers at the same time, causing incompletely cleaned fresh flowers and live insects floating on the water surface to follow the conveyor belt to the next step, thus reducing the quality of the finished flower tea.
[0006] To achieve the goal of isolating live insects that cannot sink from the raw materials of flower tea during washing from the raw materials during the conveying and cleaning process, the present invention achieves this through the following technical solution: an automated conveying device based on flower tea washing, including a feeding conveyor belt and an aeration tank. The aeration tank is located at the output end of the feeding conveyor belt. A mesh conveyor belt is installed inside the aeration tank. Baffles are installed on both sides of the mesh conveyor belt. The baffles are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the aeration tank. An isolation conveying mechanism is installed between the two baffles. The isolation conveying mechanism is located above the input end of the mesh conveyor belt. The isolation conveying mechanism is used to extend the path of the flower tea raw materials in the aeration tank during the turning process. The isolation conveying mechanism includes a feeding hopper, which is fixedly connected between the two partitions. The output end of the feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the input end of a mesh cylinder one, the output end of mesh cylinder one is fixedly connected to the input end of a mesh cylinder two, and the output end of mesh cylinder two is fixedly connected to the input end of a mesh cylinder three. A rotating shaft three and a spiral blade are rotatably connected inside mesh cylinder one and mesh cylinder three. The spiral blade is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft three. A water surface impurity collection mechanism is provided between the rotating shaft three and the inner wall of mesh cylinder two. The water surface impurity collection mechanism includes a water flow disturbance component and a collection component. The water flow disturbance component is used to drive the water flow on the water surface to flow towards the collection component. The collection component includes a movable part and a net. The movable part cooperates with the water flow disturbance component. When the water flow disturbance component is driven, the movable part drives the net to periodically face the direction of the water flow.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the partition, and the output end of the mesh conveyor belt is located on the mounting frame.
[0008] Furthermore, a water pump is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the aeration tank. The water pump input end extends to and connects to the bottom of the mesh conveyor belt. The water pump output end is fixedly connected to and connected to a water treatment tank. The water treatment tank is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the aeration tank. The water treatment tank output end is fixedly connected to and connected to a spray frame. The spray frame is fixedly installed on the top of the aeration tank and is located above the isolation conveying mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, the axis of the first mesh cylinder is parallel to the axis of the third mesh cylinder and both extend in the horizontal direction. The axis of the second mesh cylinder is perpendicular to the axis of the first mesh cylinder, so that the material forms a U-shaped conveying path between the first mesh cylinder, the second mesh cylinder and the third mesh cylinder. The outer surface of the mesh tube is fixed between two partitions by a fixing frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the mesh conveyor belt includes a conveyor roller, a second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to one of the partitions, a synchronization component group is provided between the conveyor roller and the second rotating shaft, a T-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the side of the partition away from the synchronization component group, the two ends of the T-shaped frame are parallel to the axis of the mesh cylinder and rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft, a bevel gear is fixedly connected between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft respectively, and a second gear is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft away from the bevel gear; Both of the aforementioned rotating shafts extend and penetrate to the mesh cylinder and the end of the mesh cylinder away from the feed hopper. The end of the rotating shaft away from the feed hopper is fixedly connected to a gear. The two gears mesh with each other and are distributed vertically. The gear located below meshes with gear two.
[0011] Furthermore, the top end of the second mesh cylinder is closed, and a cover opening is provided at the top end of the second mesh cylinder. The water flow disturbance component includes a slide cylinder, the input end of which is fixedly connected to the cover opening. Several uniform mesh holes are provided on the side surface of the slide cylinder. A cover plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide cylinder. A rack is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rack. A turbine is provided at the lower position on the side surface of the rotating column. Several actuating bars are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating column. A half-tooth gear and a actuating plate are fixedly connected to the upper rotating shaft three. The half-tooth gear meshes with the rack. A spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the inner wall of the slide cylinder and the cover plate.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate. The end of the connecting rod away from the cover plate extends between the partition and the inner wall of the aeration tank. A rack two is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the cover plate. An installation frame is rotatably connected to the upper position between the two partitions via a rotating shaft four. A net bag is detachably connected inside the installation frame. Gear three is provided on the rotating shaft four near the end of the connecting rod away from the cover plate and on the partition. One gear three is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft four, and the other gear three is rotatably connected to the partition and meshes with the rack two. The two gear three mesh with each other. When the half-tooth gear meshes with the rack, the cover plate moves downward, and the mounting frame drives the net bag to face the direction of the water flow.
[0013] Furthermore, the mounting frame and the net bag are detachably connected by clips.
[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This automated conveying device for flower tea cleaning uses a three-section mesh cylinder in a U-shape to form an isolated conveying channel. Combined with the conveying and turning action of the spiral blades, the piled flowers are agitated during the conveying process, extending the residence time of the flowers in the aerated water. At the same time, it ensures that each layer of flowers can fully contact the aerated water flow, eliminating the stacking and cleaning dead corners of traditional flat mesh conveying. It efficiently removes mud, sand, and insect eggs from the surface of the flowers, improving the cleanliness. Moreover, it allows insects that cannot sink to float to the surface and be separated from the flowers being conveyed. The mesh conveyor belt drives the spiral blades and also drives the water flow disturbance component to cause the surface water to flow in a directional direction, collecting live insects and light scum floating on the water surface to the net bag. At the same time, the net bag can periodically swing towards the water flow to actively collect impurities carried by the water flow and prevent impurities from floating out due to the net bag being parallel to the water surface for a long time, ensuring the stability of automated cleaning and conveying.
[0015] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.
[0019] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-10 This invention provides a technical solution: an automated conveying device for cleaning flower tea, including a feeding conveyor belt 1 and an aeration tank 2. The aeration tank 2 is located below the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 1. The bottom of the aeration tank 2 is provided with an aeration structure to generate rising bubbles to wash away impurities on the surface of the flower materials. A mesh conveyor belt 7 is provided inside the aeration tank 2. The mesh conveyor belt 7 is tensioned and driven by multiple conveyor rollers 701. The conveyor rollers 701 rotate at low speed, so that the flower materials can obtain sufficient soaking time in the aeration tank 2. The specific structure and working principle of the mesh conveyor belt 7 are existing technologies. The mesh conveyor belt 7 also includes a perforated belt surface, a drive motor, and several push plates evenly distributed and fixed on the perforated belt surface. The push plates are used to support and drive the wetted flower materials to leave the aeration tank 2 smoothly and output them to the downstream production line.
[0021] Both sides of the mesh conveyor belt 7 are equipped with partitions 8, which are vertically fixed to the inner wall of the aeration tank 2. An independent cleaning and conveying channel is formed between the two partitions 8. An isolation conveying mechanism is set between the two partitions 8. The isolation conveying mechanism is located above the input end of the mesh conveyor belt 7. It is used to break up the stacked flowers during the conveying process, force the flowers to turn over, extend the residence path of the flowers in the water of the aeration tank 2, and improve the uniformity of cleaning. The top of the two partitions 8 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 6. The output end of the mesh conveyor belt 7 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 6.
[0022] The isolation conveying mechanism includes a feed hopper 9, which is fixedly connected between two partition plates 8. The upper opening of the feed hopper 9 is aligned with the output end of the feed conveyor belt 1. The lower output end of the feed hopper 9 is fixedly connected to the input end of the mesh cylinder 10. The output end of the mesh cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the input end of the mesh cylinder 2 11. The output end of the mesh cylinder 2 11 is fixedly connected to the input end of the mesh cylinder 3 12. The axes of the mesh cylinder 10 and the mesh cylinder 3 12 are parallel to each other and extend horizontally. The axis of the mesh cylinder 2 11 is arranged perpendicular to the axis of the mesh cylinder 10, so that the material forms a U-shaped conveying path between the mesh cylinder 10, the mesh cylinder 2 11, and the mesh cylinder 3 12. The outer surface of the mesh cylinder 2 11 is fixedly installed between the two partition plates 8 by a fixing frame 17. The three mesh cylinders are completely submerged below the working liquid surface of the aeration tank 2.
[0023] Both mesh cylinder 10 and mesh cylinder 3 12 are equipped with a rotating shaft 3 22 and a spiral blade 21. The spiral blade 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 3 22. The two ends of the rotating shaft 3 22 are rotatably connected to the end wall of the corresponding mesh cylinder. One end of each of the two rotating shafts 3 22 extends and penetrates to the outside of the corresponding mesh cylinder. A gear 13 is fixedly connected to the extended end of each shaft. The two gears 13 mesh with each other and are distributed vertically. The spiral blade in mesh cylinder 10 is right-handed and the spiral blade in mesh cylinder 3 12 is left-handed. The reverse rotation formed by the meshing of the two gears 13 enables mesh cylinder 10 to convey material from front to back and mesh cylinder 3 12 to convey material from back to front. After passing through the U-shaped path, the material falls from the output end of mesh cylinder 3 12 and falls precisely onto the feeding end of the mesh conveyor belt 7 below.
[0024] One of the partition plates 8 is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft 19. The second rotating shaft 19 is connected to the shaft end of one of the conveyor rollers 701 through a synchronous component group 20. A T-shaped frame 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the partition plate 8 away from the synchronous component group 20. The two ends of the T-shaped frame 14 are parallel to the axis of the mesh cylinder 10 and are rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft 15. One end of the first rotating shaft 15 and the end of the second rotating shaft 19 are both fixedly connected to a bevel gear 18. The two bevel gears 18 mesh with each other to achieve reversing transmission. The other end of the first rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to a second gear 16. The second gear 16 meshes with the first gear 13 located below, thereby realizing the synchronous linkage between the mesh conveyor belt 7 and the third rotating shaft 22.
[0025] The synchronizing assembly 20 includes two synchronizing pulleys and a synchronizing belt. The two synchronizing pulleys are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 19 and the conveying roller 701, respectively, and the synchronizing belt meshes with the two synchronizing pulleys.
[0026] Inside the mesh tube 21, there is a deflector 27. The deflector 27 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 3 22 that extends into the mesh tube 21. The deflector 27 rotates continuously with the rotating shaft 3 23. During the rotation, the deflector 27 pushes the water downward, causing the water flow and flowers to move towards the input end of the mesh tube 3 12, thus preventing the flowers from getting stuck at the U-shaped corner.
[0027] A water surface impurity collection mechanism is also provided between the two partitions 8 to collect live insects and light scum floating on the water surface. It includes a water flow disturbance component and a collection component. The water flow disturbance component is used to drive the water flow on the water surface to flow in a directional direction towards the collection component. The collection component includes a movable part and a net 33. The movable part works in conjunction with the water flow disturbance component. When the water flow disturbance component is driven, the movable part drives the net 33 to periodically face the direction of the water flow and actively collect floating impurities.
[0028] During operation, the conveyor rollers 701 of the mesh conveyor belt 7 rotate at low speed, outputting power. This power is transmitted synchronously to the rotating shaft 19 via the synchronizing assembly 20. The rotating shaft 19 reverses its rotation direction through a pair of meshing bevel gears 18, driving the rotating shaft 15, which is perpendicular to the rotating shaft 19, to rotate synchronously on the T-shaped frame 14. The gear 16 at the end of the rotating shaft 15 rotates synchronously with the shaft, meshing and driving the gear 13 located below to rotate. The two meshing gears 13 rotate in opposite directions, respectively driving the rotating shaft 22 inside the mesh cylinder 10 and the mesh cylinder 12 to rotate in opposite directions, cooperating with the right-hand spiral blades inside the mesh cylinder 10. The design of the left-hand spiral blades 21 inside the mesh cylinder 12 and the two rotating shafts 22 rotating in opposite directions enables the mesh cylinder 10 to convey materials from front to back and the mesh cylinder 12 to convey materials from back to front, so that the flowers form a complete U-shaped zigzag conveying path in the three mesh cylinders. During the conveying process, the spiral blades 21 continuously drive the flowers to rotate circumferentially, breaking up the stacked state. The U-shaped zigzag conveying path greatly extends the immersion time of the flowers in the aerated water, so that all surfaces of the flowers can fully contact the aeration bubbles and the washing water flow, achieving uniform and thorough immersion, and effectively avoiding the cleaning blind spots caused by the stacking of flowers during flat mesh conveying.
[0029] The top of the mesh cylinder 21 is closed, with a cover opening at the top. The water flow disturbance component includes a slide cylinder 23, a cover plate 24, a rack 25, a rotating column 35, a turbine 36, a deflector bar 37, a half-tooth gear 26, a deflector plate 27, and a spring 38. The input end of the slide cylinder 23 is fixedly and sealed inside the cover opening. The side surface of the slide cylinder 23 has several evenly distributed mesh holes, the mesh hole diameter of which is smaller than the size of the flower material, allowing only water to pass through and preventing the flowers from leaking out of the cover opening. The cover plate 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide cylinder 23. In the initial state, the cover plate 24 seals the upper part of the slide cylinder 23, closing the cover opening. The cover plate 24 is sealed; a rack 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom center, a rotating column 35 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rack 25, a turbine 36 is fixedly installed on the lower side surface of the rotating column 35, and several radially diverging actuating bars 37 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating column 35. A half-tooth gear 26 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 22 located above, and the half-tooth gear 26 intermittently meshes with the rack 25. A spring 38 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the inner wall of the slide cylinder 23 and the lower surface of the cover plate 24, which is used to push the cover plate 24 to reset after the half-tooth gear 26 disengages from the rack 25.
[0030] During operation, the half-tooth gear 26 rotates continuously with the rotating shaft 22. When the teeth mesh with the rack 25, it drives the rack 25 and the cover plate 24 to move downward, compressing the spring 38. The cover opens, and the surface water of the aeration tank 2 flows towards the cover, forming a directional surface water flow. This flows the floating insects and scum towards the collection component. At the same time, the cover plate 24 drives the rotating column 35 and the turbine 36 to extend downward into the water flow of the mesh cylinder 11. The water flow impacts the turbine 36, causing the rotating column 35 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the agitator 37 to disturb the water flow in the mesh cylinder 11, further preventing the flowers from getting stuck at the corners. When the teeth of the half-tooth gear 26 rotate away from the rack 25, the spring 38 rebounds and pushes the cover plate 24 to rise and reset, closing the cover and completing one working cycle.
[0031] The actuating bar 37 is made of food-grade PP flexible material. Throughout the process of the actuating bar 37 moving downward with the cover plate 24 and rotating synchronously, its rotation range always maintains a safe distance from the rotating shaft 22 that passes through the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 21.
[0032] The collection assembly includes a connecting rod 28, a rack 29, a rotating shaft 31, a mounting frame 32, a net 33, and two gears 30. The top of the cover plate 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 28, and a vertical slot is provided on the corresponding partition plate 8. The end of the connecting rod 28 away from the cover plate 24 extends through the slot to the space between the partition plate 8 and the inner wall of the aeration tank 2. The extended end of the connecting rod 28 is fixedly connected to the vertically arranged rack 29. The rotating shaft 31 is located at the upper position between the two partition plates 8. The rotating shaft 31 passes through the two partitions 8 and is rotatably connected to the partitions 8. The mounting frame 32 is fixedly fitted on the rotating shaft 31. The net bag 33 is detachably installed in the mounting frame 32 by the clip 34, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning of the collected impurities. The two gears 30 are the driving gear and the driven gear, respectively. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 31 near the rack 29. The driving gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the corresponding partition 8. The driving gear meshes with the rack 29 and the driven gear at the same time.
[0033] In the initial state, the opening of the net bag 33 is vertically upward, located in the flow path of the surface water. When the cover plate 24 moves downward, the connecting rod 28 drives the rack 29 to move downward synchronously. The rack 29 drives the drive gear to rotate, and the driven gear reverses the direction, causing the rotating shaft 31 and the mounting frame 32 to swing, so that the net bag 33 deflects in the direction of the water flow, actively catching live insects and scum floating on the water surface. When the cover plate 24 rises and resets, the net bag 33 synchronously rotates back to the initial upward opening state, leaving the caught impurities in the net bag, realizing periodic continuous collection.
[0034] A water pump 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the aeration tank 2. The input end of the water pump 3 extends through a pipeline to the bottom of the mesh conveyor belt 7 and communicates with the inner cavity of the aeration tank 2. The output end of the water pump 3 is fixedly connected to and communicates with a water treatment tank 5. The water treatment tank 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the aeration tank 2. The output end of the water treatment tank 5 is fixedly connected to and communicates with a spray frame 4. The spray frame 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the aeration tank 2, and the spray nozzle of the spray frame 4 is located directly above the isolation conveying mechanism.
[0035] The specific structure and working principle of the water pump 3, water treatment tank 5, and spray frame 4 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail below. During operation, the water pump 3 draws water from the lower layer of the aeration tank 2, which is filtered and purified by the water treatment tank 5 and then transported to the spray frame 4. The spray frame 4 sprays water downwards, creating an impact-type rinse on the flower materials during the transportation process. Combined with aeration and soaking, it achieves a double cleaning effect and realizes the recycling of cleaning water, reducing water consumption.
[0036] All the above-mentioned underwater transmission components are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel. The tooth surfaces and meshing surfaces are coated with food-grade waterproof grease. Water-resistant skeleton oil seals and waterproof bushings are installed at the rotating joints of each shaft that penetrates the wall to prevent water from entering the bearing. The synchronization component group 20 adopts stainless steel chain drive, which is suitable for long-term underwater working scenarios, avoids rust and jamming, and ensures transmission stability and equipment service life.
[0037] Working principle: After harvesting, the fresh flowers are fed into the feed hopper 9 by the feed conveyor belt 1 and fall into the mesh cylinder 10. The power of the mesh conveyor belt 7 is transmitted synchronously to the rotating shaft 19 via the synchronizing component group 20. The rotating shaft 19 reverses its rotation direction through a pair of meshing bevel gears 18, driving the rotating shaft 15, which is arranged perpendicular to the rotating shaft 19, to rotate synchronously on the T-shaped frame 14. The gear 16 at the end of the rotating shaft 15 rotates synchronously with the shaft, meshing and driving the gear 13 located below to rotate. The two meshing gears 13 rotate in opposite directions, respectively driving the rotating shaft 22 in the mesh cylinder 10 and the mesh cylinder 12 to rotate in opposite directions, driving the spiral blades 21 to rotate, realizing the transportation of the flowers and continuously turning and breaking them up, so that all sides of the flowers can fully contact the aeration bubbles. At the same time, the top spray frame 4 sprays out purified water to spray and rinse the flowers, removing mud, sand and insect eggs from the surface.
[0038] When the flowers enter the second mesh cylinder 11, the deflector 27 and the water-driven deflector strip 37 together agitate the water flow, helping the flowers to smoothly transition to the third mesh cylinder 12. The spiral blades inside the third mesh cylinder 12 transport the flowers from back to front, continuing to tumble and soak them. After completing the U-shaped long-path cleaning, the flowers fall from the output end onto the mesh conveyor belt 7 below. During the rotation of the third rotating shaft 22, the half-tooth gear 26 periodically drives the cover plate 24 to rise and fall, intermittently opening the cover to form a surface directional water flow, which gathers the live insects and scum floating on the water surface to the net bag 33. At the same time, the cover plate, in conjunction with the net bag 33, periodically swings against the water, actively collecting impurities and preventing floating insects from flowing out with the flowers.
[0039] The mesh conveyor belt 7 carrying the flowers moves at low speed toward the discharge end, and finally the pusher plate drives the flowers away from the aeration tank 2 and into the downstream blanching and drying process. The water in the tank is pumped out, filtered and purified and then recycled.
