Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vegetable drainers, in particular to a vibration drainer for processing agricultural product lettuce. Background Art
[0002] Agricultural product lettuce processing involves a series of links from planting and harvesting to processing, packaging and transportation. In this process, the quality and safety of lettuce are crucial because they are directly related to the health and satisfaction of the final consumer. The main purpose of lettuce processing is to maintain the freshness of lettuce and extend its shelf life without compromising the original nutrition and flavor, so as to facilitate long-distance transportation and sales.
[0003] The lettuce processing steps include washing, rooting, cutting, draining, bundling, bagging, framing, etc. After the lettuce is picked, it needs to be washed, rooted and cut, and then the moisture on the surface of the cut lettuce is removed, and finally it is bundled or bagged and stored and transported at an appropriate temperature.
[0004] A lettuce drainer is used in the draining process. Its working principle is to achieve the purpose of draining by rotating or vibrating so that the water attached to the surface of the vegetables is thrown out by centrifugal force. Because lettuce is a leafy vegetable, too large an amplitude of rotation or vibration can easily damage the lettuce leaves and affect the appearance. Most of the existing vibrating drainers for lettuce processing are equipped with inclined vibrating drain plates, and the inclination angle of the drain plate cannot be adjusted according to each stage of draining. If the lettuce is to be transported and rolled on the drain plate, a steeper inclination angle is required. However, if the inclination angle is always steep, the produce will stay on the drain plate for too short a time, resulting in incomplete drainage of the water. If the inclination angle is not enough, the produce will accumulate on the drain plate, affecting subsequent transportation. Utility Model Content

However, if the inclination angle is always steep, the lettuce will stay on the drain plate for too short a time, resulting in incomplete drainage of the water. If the inclination angle is not enough, the lettuce will accumulate on the drain plate, affecting subsequent transportation. The utility model provides a vibrating drainer for agricultural product lettuce processing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the inclination angle of the vibrating screen in different stages of production drainage can be controlled by the control panel. When the lettuce just falls onto the vibrating screen from the loading and conveying platform, the vibrating screen is driven by the electric telescopic rod to achieve a larger inclination angle, which is convenient for the conveying of the lettuce and avoids accumulation. When the object sensor on the baffle senses that the lettuce has reached the lower end of the inclination, the vibrating screen is flattened under the drive of the electric telescopic rod to vibrate and drain, and the blowing structure is used to speed up the removal of moisture on the surface of the lettuce.

[0024] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present utility model can be combined with each other. Figure 1-Figure 5 The utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0025] A vibrating drainer for processing lettuce, comprising a drain box 1, with through grooves 2 on both side walls, and a loading conveyor platform 3 and a unloading conveyor platform 4 movably provided on the through grooves 2. Both the loading conveyor platform 3 and the unloading conveyor platform 4 can use the conveyor platform structure capable of intermittent pause conveying in the prior art.
[0026] Both the feeding conveyor platform 3 and the unloading conveyor platform 4 include an intermittent conveyor belt 17 and a drive motor 18. The drive motor 18 can drive the intermittent conveyor belt 17 to realize intermittent conveying. The lettuce is conveyed from the intermittent conveyor belt 17 of the feeding conveyor platform 3 to the inside of the drain box 1. After being drained, the leftovers fall into the unloading conveyor platform 4. The intermittent conveyor belt 17 conveys the drained lettuce to the packaging machine for packaging. Under the driving action of the drive motor 18, the intermittent conveyor belt 17 cooperates with the control panel 5 to perform intermittent pauses and convey the lettuce.
[0027] A control panel 5, a blowing structure 6 and an ultraviolet sterilization lamp 7 are respectively provided on the top of the drain box 1. The blowing structure 6 and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 7 are both fixedly arranged on the top wall of the drain box 1. The blowing structure 6 is preferably an electric hair dryer, which can cooperate with the vibrating screen 8 to quickly dry the moisture on the surface of the lettuce below. The ultraviolet sterilization lamp 7 is arranged on a side close to the unloading conveying platform 4 to sterilize and disinfect the lettuce.
[0028] A vibrating screen 8 is provided inside the drain box 1. The vibrating screen 8 includes a bottom plate 21 and a side plate 22. A vibration motor 25 and a buffer pad 23 are fixedly provided on the bottom wall and the top wall of the bottom plate 21, respectively. The buffer pad 23 is preferably made of a polyurethane rubber pad to reduce damage during the transportation of lettuce. A number of drainage holes 24 are provided through the buffer pad 23 and the bottom plate 21. The side plate 22 is fixedly provided on the three side walls of the bottom plate 21 away from the unloading conveying platform 4 to prevent the lettuce from being thrown out of the vibrating screen 8 during vibration. During the vibration drainage stage, the vibration motor 25 is started to drive the bottom plate 21 and the buffer pad 23 to vibrate. The moisture on the surface of the lettuce falls into the water collecting bucket 15 below along the drainage holes 24 with the vibration.
[0029] Elastic parts 9 are fixedly provided at both ends of the vibrating screen 8 near the through slot 2. Two groups of elastic parts 9 are respectively fixedly provided on the inner wall of the drain box 1 and the connecting block 10. The connecting block 10 can slide up and down driven by the electric telescopic rod 11. A first slide groove 19 and a support block 20 are provided under the through slot 2 near the side of the loading and conveying platform 3. The electric telescopic rod 11 is fixedly provided on the top wall of the support block 20, and the connecting block 10 can slide up and down in the first slide groove 19.
[0030] Start the electric telescopic rod 11 to drive the connecting block 10 to move upward, thereby causing one end of the vibrating screen 8 to move upward until the connecting block 10 moves to the uppermost end of the first slide groove 19. At this time, the inclination of the vibrating screen 8 is the largest, and the inclined upper end is also closest to the feeding conveyor platform 3. After the lettuce falls from the feeding conveyor platform 3 onto the buffer pad 23 below, the damage is reduced to a minimum, and the production is delayed and the lettuce is rolled downward along the inclined buffer pad 23.
[0031] Because a baffle 13 is slidably provided above the vibrating screen 8 near one end of the unloading conveying platform 4 by moving the screw rod 12, a plurality of elastic members 9 are also fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the baffle 13, and the elastic members 9 are preferably springs. An object sensor 14 is fixedly provided on the side of the baffle 13 facing the loading conveying platform 3, and the object sensor 14 is preferably a weight sensor or a pressure sensor.
[0032] At this time, the elastic member 9 on the bottom wall of the baffle 13 contacts the buffer pad 23, and the baffle 13 can block the lettuce to prevent it from leaving the vibrating screen 8 and falling into the unloading conveying platform 4 before the water is completely drained. When the lettuce rolls to the baffle 13, the object sensor 14 senses the lettuce and transmits information to the control panel 5. After receiving the information, the control panel 5 sends a command to the electric telescopic rod 11 to drive the connecting block 10 to move downward, thereby causing one end of the vibrating screen 8 to move downward until the connecting block 10 moves to the lowest end of the first chute 19. At this time, the vibrating screen 8 has a zero inclination, and the baffle 13 moves up, so that the lettuce continues to vibrate and drain. After setting the optimal draining time, the electric telescopic rod 11 is moved up again, the vibrating screen 8 is tilted, and the lettuce is transported to the unloading conveying platform 4 to complete the draining stage.
[0033] The two side walls of the drain box 1 adjacent to the through groove 2 are respectively provided with a groove 27 and a second slide groove 28. A bidirectional motor 29 and a moving screw 12 are arranged inside the groove 27. The moving screw 12 is arranged at the output end of the bidirectional motor 29. One end of the baffle 13 is slidably arranged on the outer periphery of the thread of the moving screw 12, and the other end can move up and down in the second slide groove 28.
[0034] When adjusting the height of the baffle 13, the bidirectional motor 29 is driven to drive the movable screw rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the baffle 13 to move up and down, and the other end also moves up and down along the second slide groove 28, so that the baffle 13 can block the lettuce or release the lettuce.
[0035] A water collecting bucket 15 is provided at the bottom of the vibrating screen 8, and the bottom of the water collecting bucket 15 is connected to the waste water tank 16. The water collecting bucket 15 is fixedly arranged on the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21, and is connected to the waste water tank 16 arranged at the bottom of the drain box 1 through an elastic hose 26. The water on the surface of the lettuce flows through the drain hole 24 and falls into the water collecting bucket 15 below, and enters the waste water tank 16 along the elastic hose 26 for storage, which is convenient for subsequent unified treatment, and the elastic hose 26 can realize synchronous expansion and contraction as the vibrating screen 8 moves up and down.
[0036] The control panel 5 is connected to the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 7, the electric telescopic rod 11, the object sensor 14, the drive motor 18, the blowing structure 6, the vibration motor 25, and the bidirectional motor 29. The control panel 5 can preset the steps of the entire drainage stage, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 7, the electric telescopic rod 11, the object sensor 14, the drive motor 18, the blowing structure 6, the vibration motor 25, and the bidirectional motor 29 are automatically turned on or off according to the preset steps, so that the entire drainage process is automated.
[0037] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
