Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of torreya grandis post-ripening equipment, in particular to a torreya grandis post-ripening machine with an independent circulation structure. Background Art

[0002] Torreya grandis (scientific name: Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu), also known as fine torreya, horn torreya, etc., is an excellent cultivated type in Torreya grandis of the genus Torreya in the Taxaceae family. It is a rare and precious dry fruit tree species unique to China. Torreya grandis is native to Zhejiang, China, and is mainly produced in the Zhejiang region. It is also cultivated in Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places. It is strong in nature, likes warm and humid climates, young trees like shade, is not resistant to heat, avoids waterlogging, is relatively cold-resistant and barren-resistant; Torreya grandis seeds are rich in nutrients, and the fatty acids are mainly linoleic acid and oleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids account for about 80% of the total fatty acids; the protein content of its kernels is high, containing 17 kinds of amino acids and 19 kinds of mineral elements, and it is also a precious Chinese medicinal material. The post-ripening process of torreya grandis is the most important processing procedure that determines the quality of torreya grandis. Poor processing is likely to affect the quality and commercial value of torreya grandis.

[0003] The post-ripening operation of torreya grandis is quite important. At present, the post-ripening of torreya grandis is mainly carried out by manual post-ripening and equipment post-ripening, and the turning operation during the post-ripening process is essential. The efficiency of manual post-ripening is low and the quality is uneven; the equipment post-ripening is mainly divided into drum post-ripening and conveyor belt post-ripening. The drum post-ripening mainly completes the post-ripening operation of torreya grandis through the flipping of the drum equipment. However, the drum torreya grandis post-ripening equipment has the disadvantages of high equipment cost, large floor area, and low post-ripening rate of torreya grandis; the conveyor belt torreya grandis post-ripening equipment mainly uses the mutual transmission between conveyor belts to achieve the post-ripening operation of torreya grandis, but there is still the current situation of low equipment utilization rate and large occupied area. In actual production, the sizes of torreya grandis fruits are uneven, which affects the post-ripening efficiency.

[0004] The utility model patent with the application number CN201820270234.1 discloses a multi-channel temperature control and high-efficiency circulation tea drying device. The box body of the device adopts a vacuum insulation structure and a multi-layer recyclable conveyor belt design, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the box body. Each layer of horizontal conveyor belt is equipped with multiple independent temperature control systems, and together with the vibration mechanism, it can prevent some tea from deteriorating due to excessive temperature while ensuring the drying effect. However, the above patent only increases the number of layers of the circulation conveyor belt and has only one circulation process, and cannot circulate different quality materials separately. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the shortcomings in the prior art, the utility model provides a torreya grandis post-ripening machine with an independent circulation structure.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A torreya grandis post-ripening machine with an independent circulation structure, comprising a feeding unit and a plurality of circulation units. The feeding unit includes a material pool, a feeder, and a feeding chute. The material pool is connected to the feeder, and the feeder is connected to the feeding chute. The circulation unit includes two inclined conveyor belts, and a circulation chute is connected between the ends of the two conveyor belts.

[0008] Preferably, baffles are installed on both sides of each conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, the feeding chute includes a telescopic chute plate.

[0010] Preferably, supports for supporting the conveyor belt are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Preferably, the plurality of circulation units include a first circulation unit, a second circulation unit, and a third circulation unit. The first circulation unit is arranged above the second circulation unit, and the second circulation unit is arranged above the third circulation unit.

[0012] Preferably, the two conveyor belts of each circulation unit are arranged crosswise.

[0013] Preferably, a temperature and humidity sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, and a nozzle are installed on the circulation unit.

[0014] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the utility model has remarkable technical effects: The circulation unit composed of two inclined conveyor belts and a circulation chute can complete the post-ripening operation of torreya grandis. Each unit can post-ripen torreya grandis independently without interference. Therefore, the post-ripening operation of large, medium, and small fruits of torreya grandis after harvesting can be carried out simultaneously without waiting for the post-ripening to end, improving the post-ripening efficiency of torreya grandis and the quality consistency of torreya grandis fruits.

Detailed Implementation Modes

[0019] The following will further describe the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the Figures 1-3 accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] A torreya grandis post-ripening machine with an independent circulation structure includes a feeding unit 1 and multiple circulation units 2. In this embodiment, the number of circulation units 2 is 3. The feeding unit 1 includes a material pool 101, a feeder 102, and a feeding chute 103. The material pool 101 is connected to the feeder 102, and the feeder 102 is connected to the feeding chute 103. The circulation unit 2 includes two inclined conveyor belts 201, and a circulation chute 202 is connected between the ends of the two conveyor belts 201. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 201 can be disassembled and assembled, enhancing the flexibility of equipment application. After each conveyor belt 201 completes the transmission of torreya grandis materials, it reaches a high position and falls into the circulation chute 202, and slides onto the conveyor belt 201 on the other side by relying on the self-gravity of the torreya grandis, completing the turning pile requirement in the torreya grandis post-ripening operation in a cycle, preventing the torreya grandis from piling up and being difficult to dissipate heat, which affects the quality of the torreya grandis; when the post-ripening operation is completed, the torreya grandis materials are exported from the low position of the conveyor belt 201 of the circulation unit through the reverse rotation of the motor to complete the operation link.

[0022] Baffles 203 are installed on both sides of each conveyor belt 201. In this embodiment, the baffle 203 can be disassembled and assembled to prevent the torreya grandis fruits from falling.

[0023] The feeding chute 103 includes a telescopic chute plate 1031. The feeding chute 103 in this embodiment can complete the feeding operation for the circulation unit 2 at different height positions by stretching and fixing the chute plate 1031.

[0024] Supports 3 for supporting the conveyor belt 201 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 201.

[0025] The multiple circulation units 2 include a first circulation unit 4, a second circulation unit 5, and a third circulation unit 6. The first circulation unit 4 is arranged above the second circulation unit 5, and the second circulation unit 5 is arranged above the third circulation unit 6. In this embodiment, the equipment is provided with three circulation units from top to bottom to solve the problem of post-ripening of torreya grandis fruits with different sizes, and can simultaneously complete the post-ripening operations of three types of fruit grades.

[0026] The two conveyor belts 201 of each circulation unit 2 are cross-arranged. This structure meets the turning pile requirement of the physical characteristics of torreya grandis post-ripening.

[0027] Working principle: When the equipment starts processing, turn on the power supply of the equipment. Guide the feeding chute 103 to the rack of the target circulation unit 2 in advance. The feeding machine 102 conveys the torreya grandis materials in the material pool 101 to the feeding place of the circulation unit 2. Driven by the inclined conveyor in the circulation unit 2, the torreya grandis materials are conveyed upward to a height above the conveyor belt 201. Subsequently, the torreya grandis automatically falls into the circulation chute 202 and is guided to the conveyor belt 201 on the other side of the circulation unit 2, repeating the process to meet the requirement of turning the pile in the after-ripening operation of torreya grandis; After meeting the workload of the first circulation unit 4 or the processing requirement of specific torreya grandis product quality, adjust the feeding chute 103 to the rack of the second circulation unit 5 to continue the operation, and so on. The equipment can meet the processing volume of 4000 catties of three types of product-quality fruits. Finally, when the after-ripening operation is completed, the torreya grandis materials are exported from the low position of the circulation unit conveyor belt 201 by the reverse rotation of the motor to complete the process.

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] A torreya grandis after-ripening machine with an independent circulation structure includes a feeding unit 1 and multiple circulation units 2. In this embodiment, the number of circulation units 2 is 3. The feeding unit 1 includes a material pool 101, a feeding machine 102, and a feeding chute 103. The material pool 101 is connected to the feeding machine 102, and the feeding machine 102 is connected to the feeding chute 103. The circulation unit 2 includes two inclined conveyor belts 201, and a circulation chute 202 is connected between the ends of the two conveyor belts 201. In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 201 can be disassembled and assembled, enhancing the flexibility of equipment application. After each conveyor belt 201 completes the conveyance of torreya grandis materials, it reaches a high position and falls into the circulation chute 202, and slides onto the conveyor belt 201 on the other side relying on the gravity of the torreya grandis itself, repeating the process to meet the requirement of turning the pile in the after-ripening operation of torreya grandis, preventing the torreya grandis from piling up and being difficult to dissipate heat, which affects the quality of torreya grandis; When the after-ripening operation is completed, the torreya grandis materials are exported from the low position of the circulation unit conveyor belt 201 by the reverse rotation of the motor to complete the operation process.

[0030] Embodiment 3

[0031] The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that: a temperature and humidity sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, and a nozzle are installed on the circulation unit 2. By installing devices such as a temperature and humidity sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, and a nozzle on the equipment, the adjustment and control of the after-ripening environment are assisted. The nozzle is used to spray clean water or water mist to achieve the control of humidity in the after-ripening operation of torreya grandis.
