Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveyors, in particular to an intelligent conveyor for preventing extrusion during coconut juice production. Background Art

[0002] The coconut milk production process involves the processing of coconuts, from receiving, cleaning, shelling, extracting juice from raw coconuts to processing, grinding, mixing, sterilizing, filling and other steps of coconut meat. In these links, especially in the process of transporting coconuts and coconut meat, it is very important to prevent the coconuts from being over-extruded and collided, so as to avoid damage to the coconut meat, loss of juice and affect the quality and taste of the final product.

[0003] Coconut consists of the outermost layer of coconut coir, the middle layer of coconut shell and the innermost layer of coconut meat. In order to obtain the internal coconut meat and coconut juice, heating is usually used to separate the outermost layer of coconut coir from the inner layer of coconut shell by high temperature, so as to facilitate the subsequent removal of the coconut coir from the coconut shell by machinery.

[0004] For example, the patent with announcement number CN209609792U announces a coconut conveyor line specially used for coconut juice production, including a cooking bin, a conveyor, a heating plate, a water inlet pipe and an exhaust pipe. The cooking bin is a rectangular stainless steel box, and a conveyor is installed in the cooking bin. A heating plate is installed at the bottom of the cooking bin, and two vertically arranged exhaust pipes are welded on the top of the cooking bin. A front door and a rear door are installed on the front and rear end surfaces of the cooking bin and corresponding to the top surface of the conveyor. The structural difference between the front door and the rear door is only the installation position. A water inlet pipe is installed on the side wall of the cooking bin, and the height of the water inlet pipe is higher than the top surface of the heating plate but lower than the bottom surface of the conveyor. Through high-temperature cooking, the extremely tough coconut palm and the slightly hard coconut shell are automatically separated. In subsequent processing, whether the coconut palm is cut manually or torn by mechanical claws, a relatively complete coconut shell containing coconut meat and coconut juice can be obtained.

[0005] However, the conveying device in the above technology still has the following problems:

[0006] During the process of conveying coconuts, as the cooking chamber cooks the coconuts on the conveyor belt inside the conveyor, the high temperature will cause the coconut rind to expand to a certain extent, which may cause multiple expanded coconuts on the conveyor belt to squeeze each other and collide with each other, which will then cause part of the coconut meat to be damaged and coconut milk to be lost, affecting the quality of the final coconut milk product. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides an intelligent conveyor for anti-extrusion conveying in coconut milk production, such as: reducing the force of mutual squeezing and collision between swollen coconuts, avoiding damage to the internal coconut meat, avoiding the loss of coconut milk, and improving the quality of the final coconut milk product.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an intelligent conveyor for anti-extrusion conveying in coconut juice production, comprising a conveyor belt installed on two brackets, a conveyor box is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt, both sides of the conveyor box are respectively connected to the two brackets, a heating device is connected to the bottom of the conveyor box, and support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the conveyor box. Hot water is filled in the conveyor box, and the water level of the hot water is lower than the bottom surface of the conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, installation grooves are provided on both sides of the conveying box at one end close to the conveyor belt, and two brackets are fixedly connected to the two installation grooves respectively.

[0010] Furthermore, a material baffle plate is connected to the top of the conveying box. The material baffle plate is located at the feeding end of the conveyor belt and is attached to the conveyor belt. Both ends of the material baffle plate are fixedly connected to two sides of the conveying box respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, a scraper is connected to the top of the conveying box. The scraper is located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt and abuts against the conveyor belt. Both ends of the scraper are fixedly connected to two sides of the conveying box respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating device includes a protective shell and a heating tube. The protective shell is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying box. The heating tube is located inside the protective shell and fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the conveying box. One end of the heating tube is fixedly connected to a connector, which passes through the protective shell and is electrically connected to the controller.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are formed through a side of the protective shell away from the conveying box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The intelligent conveyor for anti-extrusion conveying in the production of coconut juice places coconuts in hot water in a conveying box, and the coconuts float in the hot water, thereby reducing collision and extrusion between coconuts and between coconuts and the box body, thereby reducing damage to the internal coconut meat and reducing the loss of coconut juice. The coconuts are boiled in hot water to separate the outer coconut palm from the coconut shell, which is convenient for the subsequent removal of the coconut palm. At the same time, the coconuts in the water are gradually transported to the other side by a conveyor belt, so that the coconuts that have been boiled for a certain period of time are sent to the other end of the conveying box for removal, which is convenient for distinguishing the freshly boiled coconuts from the cooked coconuts.

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0022] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 An intelligent conveyor for anti-extrusion conveying in coconut juice production includes a conveyor belt 2 installed on two brackets 1, a conveyor box 3 is provided at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2, both sides of the conveyor box 3 are respectively connected to the two brackets 1, a heating device is connected to the bottom of the conveyor box 3, and support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the conveyor box 3. Hot water is contained in the conveyor box 3, and the water level of the hot water is lower than the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the intelligent conveyor for preventing extrusion and conveying in coconut juice production in the utility model is similar in structure to the existing intelligent conveyor for preventing extrusion and conveying in coconut juice production, such as a coconut conveyor line for coconut juice production disclosed in the patent with publication number CN209609792U. The main improvement of the utility model is to use water to convey coconuts, reduce mutual extrusion and collision of coconuts, reduce damage to internal coconut meat, reduce loss of coconut juice, and improve the quality of coconut juice products. Figures 1 to 4As shown, when the intelligent conveyor for anti-extrusion conveying in coconut juice production of the utility model is used, the conveying box 3 is placed in the processing place by the supporting legs 4, and then clean water is injected into the conveying box 3, and the water is heated and boiled by the heating device at the bottom of the conveying box 3, and then the coconut to be processed is put into the hot water from one end of the conveying box 3 for boiling, so that the coconut palm and the coconut shell are separated by boiling, which is convenient for subsequent manual cutting of the coconut palm or tearing of the coconut palm by mechanical claws and separation from the coconut shell. The coconut floats in the water, which can avoid the accumulation and squeezing of the coconut, reduce the damage of the internal coconut meat and the loss of coconut juice, thereby improving the coconut milk. The quality of the product. During the cooking process, when the coconut moves to the position of the conveyor belt 2 in the water, the conveyor belt 2 rotates to contact the coconut on the water surface, thereby driving the coconut to flip in the water while moving to the other end of the conveying box 3. When flipping, the coconut can be fully contacted with the hot water, so that the coconut can be cooked more evenly. The rotation direction of the conveyor belt 2 is set opposite to the traditional feeding direction. The bottom surface of the conveyor belt 2 contacts the coconut floating on the water surface, thereby smoothly driving the coconut to roll in the water and transport it to the other end for removal. When the coconut floats in the water, the exposed part contacts the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, both sides of the conveying box 3 are provided with mounting grooves 301 near one end of the conveyor belt 2, and the two brackets 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the two mounting grooves 301. By mounting the brackets 1 in the mounting grooves 301 of the conveying box 3, the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 2 is located inside the conveying box 3, so that it is easier to contact and drive with the leaves floating on the water surface, and it is not necessary to fill the conveying box 3 with water too full to avoid hot water overflowing from the side of the conveying box 3.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a baffle plate 5 is connected to the top of the conveying box 3, the baffle plate 5 is located at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 2 and is attached to the conveyor belt 2, and the two ends of the baffle plate 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the conveying box 3. The baffle plate 5 is arranged at the discharge end of the conveying box 3 to avoid placing the coconuts above the conveyor belt 2 when placing the coconuts, so that the coconuts can be put into the hot water of the conveying box 3 for cooking.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a scraper 6 is connected to the top of the conveying box 3. The scraper 6 is located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 2 and abuts against the conveyor belt 2. The two ends of the scraper 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the conveying box 3. When the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 contacts the coconut, it is inevitable that water stains will be stuck. By arranging the scraper 6 at the end of the conveyor belt 2, the water stains at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 can be scraped off and fall back into the conveying box 3 below.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the heating device includes a protective shell 7 and a heating tube 8. The protective shell 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying box 3. The heating tube 8 is located inside the protective shell 7 and is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the conveying box 3. One end of the heating tube 8 is fixedly connected to a connector 9, which penetrates the protective shell 7 and is electrically connected to the controller. The heating tube 8 is energized through the connector 9, so that the bottom of the conveying box 3 is heated through the heating tube 8, and then the hot water inside the conveying box 3 is always in a high temperature state, making the cooking of coconuts more stable. The protective shell 7 can cover the heating tube 8 inside to prevent the heating tube 8 from scalding the operator.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the protective shell 7 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 701 on one side away from the conveying box 3. Since the heating tube 8 is always in a high temperature state during operation, the high temperature air inside the protective shell 7 can be circulated through the heat dissipation holes 701 to prevent the protective shell 7 from being damaged due to air expansion.

[0029] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
