Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of storage equipment, in particular to a dry pepper storage mechanism for production. Background Art

[0002] Sichuan peppercorns are a common condiment with a strong aroma and a spicy and long-lasting taste. Freshly picked peppercorns have a high moisture content and are not easy to store. Usually, fresh peppercorns are dried before being stored. Studies have shown that the main factors affecting the storage of Sichuan peppercorns are: 1. Temperature. Sichuan peppercorns are rich in a variety of volatile aromatic substances and numbing substances. The volatility of aromatic substances increases above 25 degrees Celsius. At 30 degrees Celsius, the inherent fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns is basically lost in just 40 days; 2. Airflow. With large air convection and high oxygen content, the respiration of Sichuan peppercorns increases, and the fragrance and numbing taste dissipate faster; 3. Humidity. Sichuan peppercorns are easily infected with green mold and yellow mold in a high humidity environment.

[0003] Since the storage of dried peppercorns has strict requirements on environmental humidity and temperature, modern dried peppercorn production requires the use of special storage devices to store dried peppercorns. The Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN 216784492 U discloses a moisture-proof storage device for peppercorn production. The device uses a fully enclosed storage method to store dried peppercorns, which prevents the peppercorns from getting damp and moldy, and facilitates the later export and bagging. However, the storage device is a conical cylinder structure. When the dried peppercorns are stored in the device, they are all piled up in the cylinder. The internal ventilation of the piled dried peppercorns is poor, which makes it easy for water vapor to be generated in the piled dried peppercorns, affecting the moisture-proof storage effect of the dried peppercorns. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a dry pepper storage mechanism for production, so as to improve the storage quality of the dry pepper, extend the storage time of the dry pepper, and facilitate the later export, bagging and transportation of the dry pepper.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions: a dry pepper storage mechanism for production, comprising a sealed box, a feed inlet is arranged at the top of the sealed box, and a discharge port is arranged at the bottom, and the feed inlet and the discharge port can be automatically sealed;

[0006] A material storage plate, the material storage plate is arranged parallel to the inside of the sealed box and there is a discharge port between the material storage plate and the inner wall of the sealed box, the discharge port corresponds to the position of the feed port, one end of the material storage plate is connected to a cylinder, and the material storage plate is driven by the cylinder to move to seal the discharge port;

[0007] A frame is provided with a lifting device fixed on the frame, and the lifting device is hinged to the bottom of the sealed box.

[0008] Several layers of material storage plates are vertically arranged inside the sealed box body, which are the first material storage plate, the second material storage plate, the third material storage plate to the Nth material storage plate from top to bottom, and their corresponding discharge ports are the first discharge port, the second discharge port, the third discharge port to the Nth discharge port from top to bottom, and the cylinders are the first cylinder, the second cylinder, the third cylinder to the Nth cylinder from top to bottom.

[0009] The working principle of the storage mechanism of the utility model is as follows: when working, the discharge port is in a sealed state, and the dried pepper to be stored is transported to the feed port of the sealed box body through conveying equipment such as an elevator and a conveyor belt, and the feed port of the sealed box body is opened, and the dried pepper falls into the first storage board through the feed port for storage, and when the dried pepper stored on the first storage board reaches a set weight, the first cylinder pulls the first storage board back to open the first discharge port, and the dried pepper falls into the second storage board for storage, and when the dried pepper stored on the second storage board reaches a set weight, the second cylinder pulls the second storage board back to open the second discharge port, and the above actions are repeated in sequence until each layer of storage boards in the sealed box body is filled with pepper, and then the feed port of the sealed box body is closed to stop feeding and complete the storage of dried pepper. In the process of opening the discharge port of each layer of storage board, the cylinder of this layer can drive the storage board of this layer to do reciprocating motion, so that the pepper on this layer of storage board is evenly spread out.

[0010] Through the above technical scheme, the storage mechanism of the utility model stores the dried peppercorns in layers and spreads them out, thus solving the problems of poor ventilation, easy moisture and deterioration, and short storage time in the stacked storage of peppercorns.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealed box body is provided with an exhaust hole, and the interior of the sealed box body is evacuated through the exhaust hole, so that the dried pepper can be stored in a vacuum environment, which helps to preserve the dried pepper and extend the storage time.

[0012] In some embodiments of the utility model, a guide slide is fixed on the side wall of the sealed box, and the material storage plate is placed in the guide slide. The setting of the guide slide makes the cylinder push and pull the material storage plate more smooth. Preferably, the surface of the material storage plate in contact with the guide slide is provided with a wear-resistant slider, which can extend the service life of the material storage plate, reduce the amount of parts replacement, and reduce storage costs.

[0013] In some embodiments of the utility model, a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the material storage plate, and the provision of the ventilation holes can provide better ventilation for the pepper on the material storage plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the material storage plate is made of food-grade plastic material, which can reduce the weight of the storage mechanism and facilitate the operation of the lifting device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The utility model provides a dry pepper storage mechanism for production, which can store the dry pepper in layers and spread out through the multi-layer storage plates, thereby avoiding the stacking and storage of the pepper, improving the storage conditions of the pepper, extending the storage time of the pepper, and improving the storage quality of the pepper.

[0028] Example:

[0029] See also Figure 1 The utility model provides a dry pepper storage mechanism for production, comprising a sealed box 1, a feed inlet 11 is arranged at the top of the sealed box 1, and a discharge port 12 is arranged at the bottom, and both the feed inlet 11 and the discharge port 12 can be automatically sealed. Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram of the feed port sealing, the feed port 11 is sealed by a feed door panel 111 hinged on the sealing box body 1, and a door panel support column 112 is hingedly fixed on the feed door panel 111. The door panel support column 112 is hinged to the piston rod of the feed cylinder 113 fixed on the sealing box body 1, so that the feed door panel 111 can close and open the feed port 11 through the extension and retraction of the feed cylinder 113. Similarly, the sealing of the discharge port 12 can be set in the same way as the sealing of the feed port 11, which will not be repeated here. Of course, the automatic sealing of the feed port 11 and the discharge port 12 are both existing mature technologies and are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art. The feed port 11 and the discharge port 12 can also be set according to the existing outlet sealing technology. The protection content of the utility model does not involve improvements to the sealing methods of the feed port and the discharge port.

[0030] See also Figure 1 The cylinder body of the cylinder 3 is fixed on the right outer wall of the sealed box body 1, and the piston rod of the cylinder 3 is connected to the right end of the material storage plate 2 horizontally arranged inside the sealed box body 1. The front and rear ends of the material storage plate 2 are in contact with and supported by the inner wall of the sealed box body 1. The length of the material storage plate 2 is shorter than that of the sealed box body 1, so that a discharge port 4 is formed between the left end of the material storage plate 2 and the left inner wall of the sealed box body 1. The discharge port 4 can be sealed by driving the material storage plate 2 to move by the cylinder 3.

[0031] Specifically, several layers of material storage plates are arranged in the vertical direction inside the sealed box body 1, which are the first material storage plate 21, the second material storage plate 22, the third material storage plate 23 to the Nth material storage plate from top to bottom, and their corresponding discharge ports are the first discharge port 41, the second discharge port 42, the third discharge port 43 to the Nth discharge port from top to bottom, and the cylinders are the first cylinder 31, the second cylinder 32, the third cylinder 33 to the Nth cylinder from top to bottom.

[0032] Specifically, the front and rear ends of the storage plate 2 are in contact with and supported by the inner wall of the sealed box body 1. Preferably, see Figure 3 Two parallel guide slideways 14 are fixed on the front and rear side walls of the sealed box 1, and the material storage board 2 is placed in the guide slideways 14. The setting of the guide slideways 14 makes the cylinder 3 push and pull the material storage board 2 more smoothly. More preferably, the surface of the material storage board 2 in contact with the guide slideway 14 is provided with a wear-resistant slider 15, which can extend the service life of the material storage board, reduce the replacement of accessories, and reduce storage costs.

[0033] In order to ensure the discharge height of the discharge port of the storage mechanism of this embodiment, the sealed box body 1 is fixed on the frame 5. Specifically, a hinge shaft 7 is fixed to the bottom of the sealed box body 1, and a rotating fixed block 8 and a lifting device 6 are provided on the frame 5. A rotating fixed block 8 is also fixed on the top plate of the lifting device 6. The hinge shaft 7 is hinged with the rotating fixed block 8, so that when the lifting device 6 performs a lifting action, the hinge shaft 7 rotates relative to the rotating fixed block 8, thereby tilting the sealed box body 1 toward the discharge port end. The lifting device 6 can use existing shear lifts, sleeve lifts and other equipment.

[0034] Preferably, an air extraction hole 13 is provided at the bottom of the sealed box 1, and the air extraction hole 13 can be connected to a vacuum pump to evacuate the inside of the sealed box 1, so that the dried pepper can be stored in a vacuum environment, which can preserve the dried pepper and extend the storage time. When the sealed box is not evacuated, the air extraction hole 13 can be sealed with accessories such as a sealing cover, and a screen can be set on the air extraction hole 13 to prevent the pepper from falling into the air extraction hole.

[0035] Preferably, a plurality of ventilation holes 16 are provided on the storage board 2, and the arrangement of the ventilation holes 16 can provide better ventilation for the peppercorns on the storage board. The aperture of the ventilation holes is preferably less than 2 mm to avoid the aperture of the ventilation holes being too large, so that the peppercorns fall from the ventilation holes and affect the storage of the peppercorns on the storage board. The storage board 2 is made of food-grade plastic material.

[0036] When the storage mechanism of this embodiment is in use, all the discharge ports 4 are in a closed state before storage begins. The dried Sichuan peppercorns to be stored are transported to the feed port 11 of the sealed box 1 by conveying equipment such as elevators and conveyor belts. The feed port 11 is opened, and the dried Sichuan peppercorns fall into the first storage plate 21 through the feed port 11 for storage. After the dried Sichuan peppercorns stored on the first storage plate 21 reach a set weight, the first cylinder 31 pulls the first storage plate 21 back to open the first discharge port 41, and the dried Sichuan peppercorns fall into the second storage plate 22 for storage. After the dried Sichuan peppercorns stored on the second storage plate reach a set weight, the second cylinder 32 pulls the second storage plate 22 back to open the second discharge port 42. The above actions are repeated in sequence until each layer of storage plates in the sealed box is filled with Sichuan peppercorns. The feed port 11 of the sealed box is closed to stop feeding, and each layer of storage plates is pushed by the cylinder to close the discharge port of each layer, thereby completing the storage of dried Sichuan peppercorns. In the process of opening the material opening of each layer of the material storage plate, the cylinder of this layer can drive the material storage plate of this layer to perform reciprocating motion, so that the peppercorns on this layer of the material storage plate are evenly spread out.

[0037] See also Figure 2 When the stored pepper needs to be taken out, the cylinder 3 drives the storage plate 2 to open the required number of discharge ports 4 from bottom to top according to the amount of pepper to be taken out, and the lifting device 6 is activated to tilt the sealed box 1, so that the pepper on the storage plate 2 rolls into the conical discharge hopper at the bottom of the sealed box 1. The lifting device 6 descends to restore the sealed box to a horizontal state, and the discharge port 12 is opened to realize the removal of the pepper.

[0038] In summary, the dried pepper storage mechanism provided in this embodiment not only realizes the layered and flat storage of dried pepper, but also facilitates the subsequent export, bagging and transportation of dried pepper.
