Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nut processing, and in particular to a discharge valve for a nut drying chamber. Background Art

[0002] Macadamia nuts, also known as macadamia nuts, are a kind of tree nuts native to Australia. Macadamia nuts have high economic and nutritional value. Macadamia nuts need to be dried during processing. In nut processing enterprises, in order to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption, macadamia nuts are usually dried in a drying room. Macadamia nuts are stored in the drying room, and hot air is introduced into the room through a hot air blower to accelerate the water loss rate of macadamia nuts to achieve the purpose of drying. After the macadamia nuts are dried, they need to be discharged from the drying room through the discharge port. The existing discharge device adopts the application number The discharge cover structure in a nut storage tank disclosed in the Chinese patent No. 202222301399.X cannot adjust the speed of material discharge. The discharge cover needs to be fixed at the discharge port by a nut. The nut needs to be disassembled and assembled each time the material is discharged, which is cumbersome to use. At the same time, there is still residual heat in the macadamia nuts after drying. Once the discharge cover is opened, if the workers need to stop discharging in the middle, they are easily scalded by the discharged macadamia nuts. Therefore, a nut drying chamber discharge valve is needed, which can easily adjust the discharge speed and easily interrupt the discharge process, thereby reducing the difficulty of discharging in the drying chamber. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a nut drying chamber discharge valve, which can conveniently adjust the discharge speed and conveniently interrupt the discharge process, thereby reducing the operational difficulty of discharging the nut in the drying chamber.

[0004] This application is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The present application proposes a discharge valve for a nut drying chamber, comprising: a main body, a baffle, and a connecting pipe, wherein the main body is installed on the outside of the drying chamber, and one side of the main body is connected to the connecting pipe, and the other side of the main body is provided with an opening; the connecting pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber after passing through the insulation layer of the drying chamber; a guide rail is provided on the main body, and both sides of the baffle are slidably connected to the guide rail, and the baffle is blocked at one end of the connecting pipe, and a rack is provided on one side of the baffle; a rotating shaft is provided in the main body, the rotating shaft passes through the main body, and a gear is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft, and the gear is meshed with the rack; a handle is provided on one side of the rotating shaft.

[0006] Furthermore, limiting rings are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is installed in the main body through the limiting rings.

[0007] Furthermore, the long direction of the rack is parallel to the sliding direction of the guide rail.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is provided with limiting holes, which are distributed in a circular array on one side of the main body with the rotating shaft as the center.

[0009] Furthermore, a locking nut is provided on the handle, a middle portion of the locking nut is connected to the handle via a thread, and one end of the locking nut is inserted into the limiting hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with a bending portion at the upper and lower parts, and the long direction of the bending portion is perpendicular to the guide rail.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: by using a baffle to block one end of the connecting pipe, the nuts can be prevented from being discharged, and the gear can be driven to rotate by turning the handle, thereby pushing the baffle up to complete the discharge operation. The position of the baffle can be locked by inserting the locking nut into the limit hole, and the worker can conveniently interrupt the discharge process, reducing the difficulty of the discharge operation in the drying chamber.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present application (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0019] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in this application are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a discharge valve for a nut drying chamber, comprising: a main body 1, a baffle 2, and a connecting pipe 3, wherein the main body 1 is installed on the outside of the drying chamber, and one side of the main body 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the other side of the main body 1 is provided with an opening; the connecting pipe 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the drying chamber after passing through the insulation layer of the drying chamber; a guide rail 4 is provided on the main body 1, and both sides of the baffle 2 are slidably connected to the guide rail 4, and the baffle 2 is blocked at one end of the connecting pipe 3, and a rack 5 is provided on one side of the baffle 2; a rotating shaft 6 is provided in the main body 1, the rotating shaft 6 passes through the main body 1, and a gear 7 is provided in the middle of the rotating shaft 6, and the gear 7 is meshed with the rack 5; a handle 8 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 6.

[0021] When the macadamia nuts are dried in the drying chamber, there is no need to discharge the nuts. At this time, the baffle 2 is completely blocked at one end of the connecting pipe 3 to prevent the macadamia nuts from being discharged. After the drying is completed, the worker loosens the locking nut 11 to make the locking nut 11 withdraw from the limiting hole 10. At this time, the handle 8 can be rotated freely. After the worker rotates the handle 8, the gear 7 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the rotating shaft 6. After the gear 7 rotates, the rack 5 can be driven to rotate, thereby pushing the baffle 2 to move up, so that the macadamia nuts in the drying chamber enter the main body 1 through the connecting pipe 3 and are discharged through the opening of the main body 1 to achieve the purpose of discharging. When discharging, the locking nut 11 can be rotated to make the locking nut 11 inserted into the limiting hole 10, thereby fixing the position of the handle 8, thereby limiting the position of the baffle 2, and the discharging cross-sectional area in the connecting pipe 3 can be controlled, thereby controlling the discharging speed. During the discharging process, the worker can use the handle 8 to make the baffle 2 completely block the connecting pipe 3, thereby interrupting the discharging process. It is not easy for the worker to come into contact with the macadamia nuts during operation to avoid burns.

[0022] In addition to macadamia nuts, this device is also suitable for nuts such as almonds and pecans, meeting the discharge operations of different nuts and preventing workers from being scalded by freshly dried nuts during operation.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4As shown, limiting rings 9 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 6 is installed in the main body 1 through the limiting rings 9, so as to limit the rotating shaft 6 in the axial direction, so that the rotating shaft 6 can only rotate in the main body 1, so that the rack 5 remains engaged with the rotating shaft 6.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the long direction of the rack 5 is parallel to the sliding direction of the guide rail 4. After the gear 7 rotates, it can be driven by the rack 5 to push the baffle 2 along the guide rail 4, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the opening and closing of the baffle 2.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a limiting hole 10 is provided on the main body 1. The limiting holes 10 are distributed in a circular array on one side of the main body 1 with the rotating shaft 6 as the center. The limiting holes 10 can limit the rotation angle of the handle 8, thereby controlling the opening of the baffle 2 during discharge and controlling the discharge speed of the nuts.

[0026] Preferably, a locking nut 11 is provided on the handle 8, the middle part of the locking nut 11 is connected to the handle 8 through a thread, and one end of the locking nut 11 is inserted into the limiting hole 10. After the locking nut 11 is inserted, the handle 8 cannot rotate, thereby limiting the position of the baffle 2 and controlling the discharge speed of the nuts.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the baffle plate 2 is provided with bending parts at the upper and lower parts, and the long direction of the bending parts is perpendicular to the guide rail 4. The bending parts can improve the bending resistance of the baffle plate 2 and avoid bending and deformation of the baffle plate 2 due to the squeezing of the nut.

[0028] Of course, the present application may have many other implementations. Based on the present implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
