Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vegetable processing, and in particular to a vegetable feeding and processing system. Background Art

[0002] Dehydrated vegetables are products that have been cleaned, dried, and dehydrated, and are commonly used as an ingredient in instant foods. Existing vegetable dehydration technologies typically produce vegetables in granules or powders. However, with the advancement of automation, both granular and powdered forms require washing, cutting, and dehydration during processing, requiring loading and unloading of materials at different stages.

[0003] Chinese patent: CN218402291U discloses a feeding mechanism for dehydrated vegetable production, wherein the feeding mechanism disclosed in the base is fixedly installed with a mounting seat, and a first conveying frame is movably installed inside the mounting seat, and a second conveying frame is movably installed at one end of the first conveying frame, and an adjusting component is provided between the first conveying frame and the second conveying frame, and a fixed block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the base, and two adjusting screws are movably installed between the two fixed blocks. The two adjusting screws are transmission-connected, and an adjusting bar is movably installed between the two adjusting screws, and the upper end of the adjusting bar is movably installed with a movable support rod, the upper end of the movable support rod is movably connected to the lower end of the first conveying frame, and a movable bar is movably installed between the two adjusting screws. A movable connecting rod movably connected to the movable support rod is movably installed on one side of the movable bar, and a surface of the adjusting screw is provided with a first supporting spring connected to the movable bar and the fixed block, and a limiting component is provided between the adjusting bar and the base. This structural technology is used to solve the problem that the existing feeding mechanism cannot be adjusted in height during processing and production. However, for block materials, as the height of the mechanism is adjusted, the vegetable materials will roll down to the lowest end of the feeding mechanism. Although partitions can be set on the conveyor belt carrying the vegetable materials to block them at the position of the partitions, this material accumulation and transmission cannot meet the needs of subsequent processing. For example, it will bring inconvenience to the shredding process at the back end. Therefore, a new vegetable feeding and processing system is urgently needed to solve this technical problem.

[0026] Dehydrated vegetables are products made by washing, drying and dehydrating vegetables, and are often used as auxiliary ingredients in fast food. In existing dehydrated vegetable technologies, vegetables are generally made into granular and powdered forms. With the development of automation technology, both granular and powdered dehydrated vegetables need to go through processes such as washing, cutting, and dehydration during processing, and materials at different stages need to be loaded and unloaded in each process. In the innovative structure for changing the loading height proposed in the existing patent technology, for block materials, as the height of the mechanism is adjusted, the vegetable materials will roll down to the lowest end of the loading mechanism. Although partitions can be set on the conveyor belt carrying the vegetable materials to block them at the position of the partitions, this material accumulation and transmission cannot meet the needs of subsequent processing. For example, it will bring inconvenience to the shredding process at the back end. Therefore, the utility model proposes a new loading and processing system for the field of vegetable processing to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0027] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 4 , the utility model is described in detail.

[0028] Specifically, the utility model provides a vegetable feeding and processing system, including a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, and a material receiving trough 3. The material receiving trough 3 is arranged between the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2, and the transmission direction of the first feeding mechanism 1 is opposite to the transmission direction of the second feeding mechanism 2; the first feeding mechanism 1 includes a first transmission belt composed of a belt 11, a first pulley, a second pulley and a first drive, and a material control component 12 arranged on the belt 11, the material control component 12 includes a plurality of rollers 121 arranged tangentially to each other, and the line connecting the center axes of the plurality of rollers 121 intersects with the belt 11; the center axis of the roller 121 closest to the belt 11 is engaged with the waist-shaped hole 1221 on the bracket 122; a limit component 21 is provided in the second feeding mechanism 2, and the limit component 21 adjusts the feeding height of the second feeding mechanism 2.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the second feeding mechanism 2 is tilted, and at the end of its transmission direction is a receiving trough 3 to receive the vegetable material conveyed by the second feeding mechanism 2. Then, the vegetable material slides along the receiving trough 3 onto the first feeding mechanism 1. A material control component 12 is provided at the rear end of the transmission of the first feeding mechanism 1 or above the entire belt 11. The material control component 12 is used to restrict the free diffusion and uneven accumulation of the vegetable material, which facilitates the cutting process at the rear end of the first feeding mechanism 1. It can be seen from this that in the feeding processing system of the present invention, the second feeding mechanism 2 is transmitted along the inclined surface to increase the feeding height, and docks with the horizontally arranged first feeding mechanism 1, that is, while realizing variable height transmission, it also realizes vegetable material control, provides convenience for subsequent processing technology, and improves the practicality of the feeding processing system.

[0030] It should be noted that the aforementioned second loading mechanism 2 also includes a second transmission belt consisting of a transmission chain 22, a driving gear shaft, a driven gear shaft and a second drive. The driving gear shaft is connected to the second drive, and the transmission chain 22 is sleeved between the driving gear shaft and the driven gear shaft. A plurality of material boxes 23 are detachably connected to the transmission chain 22.

[0031] The second drive rotates the driving gear shaft, which in turn rotates a transmission chain 22, which is connected to the driving and driven gear shafts. A feed bin 23 connected to the transmission chain 22 moves relative to the chain 22. This feed bin 23 receives the vegetable material at the lowest end of the second feeding mechanism 2. This feed bin 23 is reusable. When it reaches the top of the second feeding mechanism 2, it flips over, dumping the vegetable material inside into the receiving trough 3. The transmission chain 22 is made of iron to facilitate the positioning of the trough.

[0032] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in order to make the vegetable material falling on the first feeding mechanism 1 even and not piled up, the third drive is used to control the vibration of the receiving chute 3 so that the material is dispersed and evenly slides onto the second feeding mechanism 2. In this embodiment, there is no specific restriction on the structure and type of the third drive.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the aforementioned limit assembly 21 includes: two arc-shaped limit rods 211, and two limit pins screwed to the side plates of the second feeding mechanism 2, the arc-shaped limit rod 211 includes a main limit groove 2111 and a secondary limit groove 2112, and multiple secondary limit grooves 2112 are connected to the main 2 limit grooves 2111.

[0034] The housing limit rod can be an arc shape (such as Figure 2The shape of the primary limiting groove 2111 is located in the middle of the arc-shaped limiting rod 211, and the secondary limiting grooves 2112 are arranged on either side or one side of the primary limiting groove 2111, similar to branches. When adjusting the lifting height, the limiting pin is removed so that the pin hole seat can slide along the primary limiting groove 2111. After sliding to the appropriate height, it is inserted into the secondary limiting groove 2112 at that position, and the limiting pin is then fixed to complete the positioning.

[0035] The belt 11 of the first feeding mechanism 1 is mounted on the first and second passing wheels, and the first passing wheel is connected to the first drive. The central axis of the roller 121 is connected to the side plate of the first feeding mechanism 1 through a mounting plate. The scraper is also provided along the tangential direction of the roller 121 and is higher than the surface of the roller 121 by a preset height. The function of the scraper is to remove vegetable particles stuck on the surface of the roller 121.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket 122 securing the roller 121 closest to the belt 11 includes multiple waist-shaped holes 1221. These holes 1221 include both straight and curved shapes. These holes 1221 accommodate vegetable materials of varying sizes, preventing excessive compression and damage from the roller 121. When larger vegetables contact the lowest roller 121, they exert a reaction force on the roller 121, causing the central axis of the roller 121 to move upward along the holes 1221, thereby reducing the pressure exerted by the roller 121 on the vegetables. Of course, the specific parameters, such as the size and location of the waist-shaped holes 1221, are not specifically limited in this embodiment. Furthermore, the waist-shaped holes 1221 can be straight or curved. Curved holes 1221 provide a certain resistance, preventing the central axis of the roller 121 from moving, while also accommodating forces from other directions. The preferred shape can be selected based on practical needs.

[0037] In some embodiments, the box body of the material box 23 is a trough structure, that is, it can be a semicircular or semi-elliptical structure, forming a trough structure for conveniently carrying and pouring the vegetable material.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the feeding and processing system provided by the present invention further includes a cutting mechanism 4, wherein the cutting blade of the cutting mechanism 4 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the belt 11, or intersects with the transmission direction of the belt 11, and is close to the roller 121 closest to the belt 11 by a preset distance. The cutting mechanism 4 further includes a stripper plate 41, which is attached to the surface of the cutting blade.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the cutting blade of the cutting mechanism 4 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the belt 11, that is, the blade is perpendicular to the surface of the vegetable, achieving a direct cutting effect. Furthermore, when the blade intersects the conveying direction of the belt 11, a "slicing" effect is achieved, which facilitates slicing of vegetables. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a stripper plate 41 is provided on the surface of the cutting blade to prevent vegetables from sticking to the blade after cutting, thereby affecting the next cutting operation. This stripper plate 41 can be a square plate or a cylindrical structure with half of the plate cut off.

[0040] Finally, the present invention provides a vegetable feeding and processing system, comprising a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, and a material receiving trough 3, wherein the material receiving trough 3 is arranged between the first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2, and the transmission direction of the first feeding mechanism 1 intersects with the transmission direction of the second feeding mechanism 2 in the opposite direction; the first feeding mechanism 1 comprises a first transmission belt composed of a belt 11, a first pass wheel, a second pass wheel and a first drive, and a material control component 12 arranged on the belt 11, the material control component 12 comprises a plurality of rollers 121 arranged tangentially to each other, and the line connecting the central axes of the plurality of rollers 121 intersects with the belt 11; the central axis of the roller 121 closest to the belt 11 is sleeved with a waist-shaped hole 1221 on the bracket 122; the second feeding mechanism 2 is provided with a limit assembly 21, and the limit assembly 21 adjusts the feeding height of the second feeding mechanism 2. The present invention realizes variable height transmission while controlling vegetable materials, brings convenience to vegetable processing, and improves the practicality of the feeding and processing system.
