Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a ginger granulator. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of hot pot base, ginger is often used together with other spices such as chili, pepper, star anise, etc. to form a complex and rich taste. Before using ginger, it is usually necessary to use a pelletizer to cut the whole piece of cleaned ginger into ginger particles. However, most of the existing pelletizers use a high-speed rotating shaft to drive the cutter to directly crush the whole piece of ginger. The rotating shaft is set at the center of the pelletizing chamber, and multiple sets of cutters are set circumferentially and staggered on the rotating shaft. The feed port is generally eccentrically set at a position close to the edge of the pelletizing chamber, and the ginger is stirred and cut under the action of the cutter and centrifugal force. This method is not only easy to cause serious loss of juice inside the ginger, but also ginger is constantly put into the feed port on the automated production line, which is easy to cause the problem of insufficient processing and pelletizing of some ginger, which is mainly reflected in the fact that the ginger particles are connected by fibers and are not completely cut off. In addition, the ginger itself has more fibers (especially old ginger). The uncut fibers not only affect the taste, but may also be regarded as foreign matter, affecting consumers' overall satisfaction with the product. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a ginger granulator which can solve the technical problem that fibers are easily cut in the process of cutting ginger granules.
[0004] This application provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A ginger pelletizer comprises a body and a cutting mechanism installed in the body, and also comprises a feed hopper slidably installed on the top of the body, a transversely arranged cutting bin arranged under the feed hopper, a discharge port is arranged at one end of the cutting bin, the cutting mechanism comprises a pusher block slidably connected to the cutting bin, a strip cutter for cutting ginger into ginger strips, and a pelletizer for cutting ginger into ginger pellets, a plane flush with the bottom of the feed hopper is arranged on the top of the pusher block, and when the pusher block moves to below the feed hopper, the plane can completely cover the bottom of the feed hopper, the discharge port is located in the cutting range of the pelletizer, and the pelletizer is located outside the pelletizer bin.
[0006] Beneficial effects:
[0007] 1. The problem of continuous cutting of ginger fibers can be avoided by cutting into strips first and then into pellets. The specific cutting process is that the whole piece of cleaned ginger is put into the horizontally arranged cutting bin through the feed hopper, and the pushing block pushes the whole piece of ginger in the cutting bin to the position of the strip cutting knife for the first processing. The processed ginger strips are continuously cut by the pelletizing knife in contact with the strip cutting knife, that is, the secondary processing is into pellets. Since the pelletizing knife is located outside the pelletizing bin, the finally processed ginger pellets can fall directly and be collected centrally. It is worth mentioning that since the cutting bin adopts the form of horizontal layout, and the pushing block pushes the ginger horizontally into the strip cutting knife for processing, it can ensure that the ginger processed by the strip cutting machine is evenly cut into strips and will not be stuck together due to fibers. If the cutting bin is changed to a vertical arrangement, due to the excessive amount of ginger input and the feeding speed becoming too fast due to the influence of the ginger's own gravity, it is easy to have the problem that the fibers in the ginger are not easy to cut.
[0008] 2. The whole set of equipment has a compact structure and strong practicality. Different from the traditional processing of repeatedly cutting ginger in the form of crushing, the juice inside the ginger will not be wasted too much, which has a positive effect on the taste and shape of the ginger particles.
[0009] 3. By setting a flat surface on the top of the push block to completely cover the bottom of the feed hopper, it is ensured that no ginger will fall into the cutting bin when the push block sends the whole piece of ginger into the cutting knife. This not only controls the feed quantity to ensure sufficient cutting, but also prevents the sliding process of the push block from being blocked, which is conducive to the sustainability of the ginger granulation process.
[0010] Furthermore, as an improvement, it also includes an anti-blocking mechanism installed in the machine body, which includes push blocks and connecting rods symmetrically and fixedly arranged on both sides of the feed hopper, a cylinder for driving the push blocks, and a connecting sleeve slidably connected to the connecting rod, and the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the machine body.
[0011] Beneficial effect: The function of the anti-blocking mechanism is to prevent the ginger raw material from blocking the feed hopper, ensuring that the ginger raw material can be smoothly and continuously put into the cutting bin. The specific working process of the anti-blocking mechanism is to use the cylinder to drive the push block to drive the feed hopper and the connecting rod to move back and forth in the horizontal direction in the connecting sleeve, and use the inertia in the reciprocating process to shake the ginger in the feed hopper, which is conducive to timely unblocking the feed hopper.
[0012] Furthermore, as an improvement, guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the feed hopper, and guide grooves are opened inside the machine body, and the guide rods are slidably connected to the guide grooves.
[0013] Beneficial effect: Through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod and the guide groove in the machine body, a more precise guide is provided for the reciprocating movement of the feed hopper, which is also conducive to smoother sliding cooperation between the connecting rod and the connecting sleeve.
[0014] Furthermore, as an improvement, a hydraulic cylinder for driving a pushing block is fixedly installed in the cutting bin, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the pushing block. A motor for driving a pelletizing knife is fixedly installed outside the body, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the pelletizing knife.
[0015] Beneficial effects: The push block is driven by a hydraulic cylinder, which can provide greater kinetic energy for the movement of the push block. The pelletizer is driven by a motor. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor enables the pelletizer to cut the ginger strips in the form of a pendulum to form ginger particles. The structure is simple and the operation is reliable.
[0016] Further, as an improvement, a compression spring is fixedly arranged inside the connecting sleeve, one end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the machine body, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the connecting rod.
[0017] Beneficial effect: By designing the compression spring, the force of the compression spring can act on the connecting rod, providing buffering and assistance to the reciprocating movement process of the feed hopper.
[0018] Furthermore, as an improvement, a material baffle plate is fixedly provided on one side of the machine body close to the discharge port of the cutting bin, and a material drop gap is formed between the material baffle plate and the discharge port.
[0019] Beneficial effect: The function of the baffle plate is to limit the movement trajectory of the processed ginger to prevent splashing and difficult to clean up. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 1 The right side of the cutting bin 7 is shown to extend out of the machine body 1, and a discharge port for ginger strips is provided on the end surface of the extended end of the cutting bin 7.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the cutting mechanism 8 includes a hydraulic cylinder 81 installed on the left side of the machine body 1, the non-output end of the hydraulic cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to the cutting bin 7, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 81 is fixedly connected to a push block 82 by screws, the push block 82 is slidably connected to the cutting bin 7 and a push block 82 is provided on the top of the push block 82. Figure 3The plane shown is flush with the bottom of the guide tube 42, and the plane can completely cover the bottom of the guide tube 42, that is, the discharge end of the guide tube 42. A strip cutter 83 for cutting ginger into ginger strips is fixedly installed at the right end of the cutting bin 7, that is, the discharge port of the cutting bin 7. A motor 84 is fixedly installed outside the body 1. A pelletizer 85 for cutting the ginger strips into granules is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 84. The pelletizer 85 swings in the form of a pendulum under the drive of the motor 85, and the right side outlet of the strip cutter 83 is located in the swing cutting range of the pelletizer 85, thereby completing the continuous processing process of first cutting strips and then pelletizing. A baffle plate 86 is fixedly connected to the right end of the body 1 and above the motor 84. The baffle plate 86 is a right-angle structure, which can provide protection for the top of the motor 84 and limit the movement trajectory of the processed ginger particles to prevent splashing. A plastic box with an open top can be placed below the baffle plate 86 to collect the processed ginger particles.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-blocking mechanism 9 includes a push block 93 and a connecting rod 94 that are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on the wall of the guide tube 42, and the line formed by the push block 93 and the connecting rod 94 is parallel to the line formed by the two guide rods 5; a mounting seat 91 is welded and fixed to the top shell of the body 1, and a cylinder 92 for driving the push block 93 to move is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 91 by screws, one end of the push block 93 is fixed to the power output end of the cylinder 92 by screws, and the other end of the push block 93 is welded to the guide tube 42; a connecting sleeve 95 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 94, and the connecting sleeve 95 is welded and fixed to the right side shell of the body 1, and a compression spring 96 is arranged inside the connecting sleeve 95, one end of the compression spring 96 is fixedly connected to the right side shell of the body 1, and the other end of the compression spring 96 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 94. By designing the compression spring 96, the force of the compression spring 96 can act on the connecting rod 94, providing buffering and assistance for the reciprocating movement of the feed hopper 4.
[0032] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0033] During use, the cleaned whole piece of ginger is added manually or conveyed to the feed hopper 4 by automatic conveying equipment. The raw materials can enter the cutting bin 7 through the funnel body 41 and the guide tube 42. At the same time, the output end of the cylinder 92 drives the push block 93 to move to the right, thereby driving the feed hopper 4 and the connecting rod 94 to move. The connecting rod 94 slides along the connecting sleeve 95 and squeezes the compression spring 96. Then the output end of the cylinder 92 drives the push block 93 to quickly reset. At this time, the elastic action of the compression spring 96 will give the connecting rod 94 a reaction force, which can make the connecting rod 94 drive the feed hopper 4 to quickly reset. The push block 93 drives the feed hopper 4 to move back and forth in the horizontal direction to shake the ginger entering the feed hopper 4, which has the effect of preventing the ginger from clogging the feed hopper 4.
[0034] After some of the ginger enters the cutting bin 7, the hydraulic cylinder 81 is started, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 81 drives the pushing block 82 to slide to the right. It is worth mentioning that since a plane 821 is provided on the top of the pushing block 82 to keep it flush with the bottom of the feed hopper 4, the plane 821 can block the bottom of the feed hopper 4, ensuring that no ginger will fall into the cutting bin 7 when the pushing block 82 sends the whole piece of ginger into the cutting knife 83, thereby preventing the sliding process of the pushing block 82 from being blocked, and the pushing block 82 pushes the ginger. The ginger moves in the direction of the strip cutting knife 83. When the ginger is squeezed through the strip cutting knife 83, it will be cut into ginger strips and pushed out of the cutting bin 7. At the moment of pushing out the cutting bin 7, the motor 84 has started to operate. The output end of the motor 84 will drive the pelletizing knife 85 to cut the ginger strips into pellets with the rotation trajectory of the pendulum. The processed ginger pellets fall under the baffle plate 86. This solution can solve the technical problem that the fibers are easy to be cut in the process of cutting ginger pellets by continuously cutting into strips first and then pelletizing.
