Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lifting and turning, in particular to a device for lifting and turning a pickle jar. Background Art

[0002] During the secondary processing or reworking of kimchi, the kimchi in the kimchi jar needs to be poured into a fermentation box or a fermentation pool for re-fermentation and pickling. The whole process is completed by manual handling and pouring. However, since the fermentation box or the fermentation pool has a certain height, the kimchi jar needs to be lifted before it can be poured from the box or pool mouth, which is very labor-intensive. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device with a high degree of automation to replace the purely manual lifting and pouring method of the kimchi jar.

[0003] Publication number CN111172013B discloses a device for lifting and tipping a kimchi jar. The device uses a holding plate to lift the bottom of the kimchi jar and make it rise, and then sets an adjustment mechanism to make the kimchi jar rotate along with the positioning ring to achieve the tipping action. The entire process is highly automated, replacing the current purely manual lifting and tipping method.

[0004] This technical solution still presents at least the following drawback: the kimchi jar is tilted at a relatively slow speed by the device. When it is just tilted but not yet properly tilted, the kimchi juice can easily leak out of the jar opening and down along the outer wall of the jar onto the tilting structure or the ground, causing structural contamination and waste. Therefore, we propose a kimchi jar lifting and tilting device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a kimchi jar lifting and overturning device, which is provided with a sealing plate that can be driven to rise and fall and is fixed above the flip plate. When the kimchi jar is clamped and locked, the sealing plate seals the jar opening. After the kimchi jar is lifted and tilted into place, it contacts the seal of the sealing plate to allow the kimchi and soup to be discharged, thereby preventing the soup from leaking out and leaking downward along the outer wall of the kimchi jar when the kimchi jar is not tilted enough, causing pollution or waste, thereby solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] The cam is secured to the chassis and has a hinged connection with the chassis, and the hinged connection between the chassis and the chassis is secured on the chassis cam.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the kimchi jar filled with kimchi is first placed on the surface of the flip plate between the clamping blocks, and the kimchi jar is clamped and locked by the clamping blocks and the clamping grooves. Then, the sealing plate is lowered to a height to seal the jar opening. Then, the jar is raised to a height and flipped to a sufficient inclination angle. Finally, the sealing plate is removed to contact the sealing of the jar opening, so that the kimchi and its soup can be discharged.

[0008] Optionally, a rubber pad is fixed to the bottom surface of the sealing plate, and the rubber pad is fixed to the bottom surface of the sealing plate by bonding.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sealing plate is lowered, the rubber pad is pressed against the surface of the jar mouth of the kimchi jar, thereby achieving a good sealing effect.

[0010] Optionally, a clamping groove is provided on the inner surface of the clamping block, and the clamping groove is arranged to be arc-shaped.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping block clamps the kimchi jar through the clamping groove on its inner surface.

[0012] Optionally, an upper opening is provided on the surface of the upper frame, and the size of the upper opening is larger than the size of the flip plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lifting plate is raised, the lifting and turning of the flip plate and other structures above it are not affected.

[0014] Optionally, a stepper motor is mounted on the upper frame surface at the top of the screw rod, and the stepper motor is transmission-connected to the screw rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the screw rod is driven by a stepping motor.

[0016] Optionally, both ends of the first electric push rod are rotatably connected to the lifting plate and the flip plate respectively through second hinges.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The technical solution of the present application is to provide a sealing plate that can be driven to rise and fall and is fixed above the flip plate. When the kimchi jar is clamped and locked, the sealing plate seals the jar opening. After the kimchi jar is lifted and tilted into place, it contacts the seal of the sealing plate to allow the kimchi and soup to be discharged, thereby preventing the soup from leaking out and leaking downward along the outer wall of the kimchi jar when the tilt angle of the kimchi jar is not enough, causing pollution or waste.

[0019] 2. The technical solution of this application ensures that the lifting plate will not be blocked by the upper frame when driving the upper structure to rise and the flip plate to flip, by making the upper opening size of the upper frame larger than the size of the flip plate.

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a kimchi jar lifting and overturning device, comprising a base 1, an upper frame 2 and a lifting plate 3. The upper frame 2 is placed above the base 1. A screw rod 11 is vertically rotatably installed between the four corners of the upper frame 2 and the four corners of the base 1. The upper frame 2 is arranged parallel to the base 1. A stepping motor 111 is installed on the surface of the upper frame 2 at the top of the screw rod 11. The stepping motor 111 is transmission-connected to the screw rod 11. When the stepping motor 111 is started, the screw rod 11 can be driven to rotate forward or reverse as needed.

[0026] The lifting plate 3 is placed horizontally above the base 1 and parallel to the surface of the base 1, and the screw rod 11 passes through the four corners of the lifting plate 3 by means of a screw connection, so that when the screw rod 11 is driven to rotate forward or reverse, it can drive the lifting plate 3 to rise or fall in height to achieve the purpose of lifting.

[0027] A flip plate 4 parallel to the lifting plate 3 is provided above the lifting plate 3. One side of the flip plate 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting plate 3 through a first hinge 31. A first electric push rod 32 is rotatably connected between the other side of the flip plate 4 and the surface of the lifting plate 3. In order to achieve a rotatable connection between the first electric push rod 32 and the flip plate 4 and the lifting plate 3, the rotatable connection structure can be a second hinge 321, or any other structure that can achieve a rotatable connection, so that when the first electric push rod 32 is extended and retracted, the flip plate 4 is flipped up and retracted.

[0028] Both sides of the flip plate 4 are vertically fixed with side panels 41, and the side panels 41 on both sides are parallel to each other. A second electric push rod 411 is vertically installed on the outer surface of the side panel 41, and the end of the second electric push rod 411 passes through the other side of the side panel 41, and a clamping block 6 is fixed to the end of the second electric push rod 411. A clamping groove 61 is provided on the inner surface of the clamping block 6, and the clamping groove 61 is set to an arc shape. The kimchi jar to be flipped is placed on the surface of the flip plate 4 between the clamping blocks 6 after the lid is removed, and then the second electric push rod 411 can be used to drive the clamping block 6 to clamp and lock the kimchi jar through the clamping groove 61 to lock it. When the flip plate 4 is flipped, the kimchi jar is also driven to flip. In order to achieve clamping stability, an anti-slip pad can be affixed to the inner surface of the clamping groove 61 to achieve the purpose of anti-slip and protective clamping.

[0029] A sealing plate 5 parallel to the flip plate 4 is provided above the flip plate 4. The sealing plate 5 is fixed above the flip plate 4 by third electric push rods 51 at the four corners of its bottom, and a rubber pad 52 is fixed to the bottom surface of the sealing plate 5. The rubber pad 52 is fixed to the bottom surface of the sealing plate 5 by fitting. Before flipping, the sealing plate 5 is driven to lower its height and is sealed by the rubber pad 52 sticking to the jar mouth. Only when the kimchi jar is flipped into place, the sealing plate 5 is raised to contact the seal, so that the kimchi and soup can be discharged directly, avoiding the soup dripping along the outer wall of the kimchi jar due to insufficient tilt angle.

[0030] An upper opening 21 is provided on the surface of the upper frame 2 . The size of the upper opening 21 is larger than that of the flip plate 4 , so that the lifting and flipping of the flip plate 4 and other structures above the lifting plate 3 will not be restricted.

[0031] When in use, the device is placed in the fermentation tank or on the right side of the fermentation tank. When the kimchi jar needs to be turned over, the third electric push rod 51 is first used to drive the sealing plate 5 to the highest position, and then the kimchi jar with kimchi and without the lid is placed on the turning plate 4 between the clamping blocks 6. Then the second electric push rod 411 is controlled to drive the clamping blocks 6 on both sides to approach, and the kimchi jar is clamped by the clamping groove 61. Then, the third electric push rod 51 is controlled to drive the sealing plate 5 to lower the height, and the rubber pad 52 on its bottom surface is used to seal the jar mouth. Then, the stepping motor 111 is started to drive the screw rod 11 to rotate. The lifting plate 3 and the flip plate 4 above it and the kimchi jar are driven to rise to a higher height, and then the first electric push rod 32 is controlled to extend to drive the flip plate 4 to flip to the left, so that the kimchi jar is in a tilted state. After the kimchi jar is flipped into place, the third electric push rod 51 is controlled to drive the sealing plate 5 to rise to a higher height, thereby releasing the blockage of the jar mouth, and the kimchi and the soup inside it are directly discharged into the fermentation tank or fermentation box, avoiding the soup from being discharged from the jar mouth and dripping downward along the outer wall of the kimchi jar. Finally, the structure is reset, and the clamping block 6 is moved outward to remove the kimchi jar.
