Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food production, in particular to an automatic flotation device for defective vegetarian meat food raw materials. Background Art

[0002] Vegetarian meat food is a vegetarian food. Its raw materials are mainly protein and other ingredients from plants. Through modern food processing technology, it is used to simulate the appearance and flavor of real meat. The vegetarian meat food raw material flotation device is a device used to physically separate the raw materials in the vegetarian meat production process. Its working principle is based on the buoyancy difference of solid particles in liquid, and the material separation is achieved through the attachment and separation of bubbles.

[0003] After searching, a Chinese patent with application number CN202121256174.6 discloses a flotation machine for food production. Qualified products selected from the flotation tank will adhere to a lot of water. When entering the subsequent process, the water needs to be drained, which takes a long time and affects work efficiency. Therefore, the water on the packaged food is absorbed by the sponge pad, so that the water on the packaged food can be removed without additional drying, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0004] During the use of the above-mentioned flotation machine, after the food is floated through the flotation tank, a large amount of defective raw materials will remain on the water surface inside the flotation tank and will be difficult to discharge. If the defective raw materials are not removed in time, the food raw materials will be contaminated by the residual defective debris during the flotation process, which will reduce the processing quality of the vegetarian meat food. As a result, the defective residue needs to be removed manually, which increases the workload of the operators and increases the fatigue at work. In addition, manual removal of residues can easily reduce the efficiency of removing residues, thereby delaying the progress of work. Utility Model Content

[0032] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the rear end of the mounting frame 1, and the other end of the telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 14, and the other end of the screw rod 8 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the front end of the mounting plate 14, and the left and right ends of the mounting frame 1 are fixedly connected to fixed plates 15, and the top of the fixed plate 15 is fixedly connected to two shells 16, and the other ends of the two pushing columns 17 at the right end are fixedly connected to a scraper rod 19, and a scraper strip 20 is arranged on the top of the scraper rod 19. The cooperation between the telescopic rod 13 and the mounting plate 14 is beneficial to improving the rotation stability of the screw rod 8. The scraper rod 19 and the scraper strip 20 are used to facilitate cleaning of the residue remaining on the surface of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2, and the scraper strip 20 is made of rubber, which is beneficial to scraping off the moisture on the surface of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2 during the scraping process.

[0033] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a push column 17 is slidably connected inside the shell 16, a spring 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 16, the other ends of the two push columns 17 at the left end are fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 21, and the other ends of the two springs 18 at the left end are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning brush 21.

[0035] Working principle: When flotating vegetarian meat food, first fill the flotation frame 3 with water, then add flotation liquid, and then turn on the anti-skid conveyor belt 2, place the vegetarian meat raw material on the surface of the anti-skid conveyor belt 2, and through the conveying effect of the anti-skid conveyor belt 2, it is convenient to convey the raw material into the flotation frame 3, and then through the liquid inside the flotation frame 3, and because of the difference in density, shape and weight between qualified raw materials and defective raw materials, it is convenient to separate the defective raw materials from the qualified raw materials. The qualified raw materials will settle to the surface of the bottom anti-skid conveyor belt 2, and the defective residue will float on the water surface, which is conducive to the flotation operation. The raw materials are then conveyed out through the other end of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2. When it is necessary to remove the slag, the motor 7 is turned on, and the output end of the motor 7 drives the screw rod 8 to rotate, so that the screw rod 8 drives the discharge plate 9 to move from the front end of the flotation frame 3 to the rear end. In the process of moving, it is convenient to introduce the residue into the inside of the discharge plate 9, and the water flows out through the gap of the discharge plate 9, which is convenient for pushing the residue to move backward. When the discharge plate 9 gathers the residue, the hydraulic cylinder 5 is turned on, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the connecting block 6 to rise, so that the connecting block 6 drives the motor 7 and the screw rod 8 to rise. Thereby, it is convenient to drive the discharge plate 9 to rise, and then the discharge plate 9 moves to the end of the screw rod 8 away from the motor 7 through the rotation of the screw rod 8, and then the scraper frame 12 is moved, so that the scraper frame 12 drives the slider 11 to slide inside the slide 10, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the residue attached to the inside of the discharge plate 9, which is beneficial to the cleaning of the residue remaining inside the flotation frame 3. When the anti-slip conveyor belt 2 is in the process of conveying, it drives the material to be loaded from the right end, passes through the inside of the flotation frame 3 and then moves to the left end of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2, the material falls out, and the material remaining on the surface of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2 is first cleaned The brush 21 is convenient for the residue to be blocked and cleaned by the cleaning brush 21 first, and the cleaned residue falls into the interior of the left end dirt connection frame 22, and then is transported by the anti-slip conveyor belt 2. When passing the right end, the surface of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2 will be scraped by the scraper rod 19 and the scraper strip 20, so that the residue on the surface that has not been cleaned is cleaned for the second time, and the cleaning brush 21 and the scraper rod 19 are pushed by the spring 18 during the scraping process, so that the cleaning brush 21 and the scraper rod 19 are closer to the anti-slip conveyor belt 2 when cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning quality and helping to reduce the residue remaining on the surface of the anti-slip conveyor belt 2.
