Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of garlic processing, in particular to infrared color sorting equipment for garlic slice processing. Background Art

[0002] Dehydrated garlic slices are made by thinly slicing fresh garlic cloves and rapidly drying them under low-temperature, hot air conditions. This method preserves the garlic's original flavor and nutrients while extending its shelf life. Dehydrated garlic slices quickly release their aroma during cooking, adding flavor to dishes. Because they are easier to store and transport, they are often used in convenience foods, seasoning packs, and daily restaurant cooking. During the processing of dehydrated garlic slices, infrared color sorting equipment is required to sort out inferior garlic slices to ensure quality.

[0003] Current infrared color sorting equipment typically uses a vibrator to evenly transport garlic slices. However, due to the brittle texture of dehydrated garlic slices, the high-frequency vibration of the vibrator can easily cause the garlic slices to break, thus affecting their appearance and quality. In addition, garlic slices are prone to overlapping during the sorting process, which affects the normal recognition of the infrared sensor, resulting in inferior garlic slices not being sorted out, affecting the sorting quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an infrared color sorting device for garlic slice processing, which effectively solves the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions.

[0006] An infrared color sorting device for processing garlic slices comprises a base plate, with a conveyor belt mounted on its upper surface. An inclined material bin is mounted on one side of the conveyor belt's lengthwise direction. A lifting plate is mounted inside the inclined material bin via a jacking mechanism. A limit baffle is mounted on the upper surface of the conveyor belt via a lifting mechanism. A material guide ramp is mounted on the other side of the conveyor belt's lengthwise direction. A diverter plate is positioned below the material guide ramp. A finished product bin and a waste bin are positioned on the upper surface of the base plate, below each end of the diverter plate. A mounting bracket is mounted on the outer surface of the conveyor belt, with multiple infrared sensors mounted on the outer surface of the bracket. Multiple air blow pipes are mounted on the outer surface of the bracket, below the infrared sensors.

[0007] It can be seen that, by setting the jacking mechanism, the lifting plate can be driven to rise slowly, so that the garlic slices inside the inclined material box can be pushed out upward, and because the inclined material box is set to be inclined, the pushed out garlic slices can fall on the conveyor belt for transportation, thereby avoiding the problem that the traditional vibrator feeding method causes the garlic slices to be damaged and affects the appearance and quality of the garlic slices, and by setting the limit baffle, the height of the garlic slices being transported can be limited, so that the stacked garlic slices are blocked until they are dispersed and transported from under the limit baffle, thereby ensuring the normal recognition of the infrared sensor, avoiding inferior garlic slices from not being selected, and improving the sorting quality, and by setting the lifting mechanism, the height of the limit baffle can be adjusted, which can be suitable for sorting garlic slices of different thicknesses and has strong applicability.

[0008] Furthermore, the jacking mechanism includes a U-shaped connecting plate installed on the outer surface of the lifting plate, and the U-shaped connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inclined material box. A motor is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box, and the end of the motor output shaft is connected to a first threaded rod. A nut seat is installed on the outer surface of the first threaded rod, and the outer surface of the nut seat is connected to the U-shaped connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a U-shaped frame installed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, and a second threaded rod is passed through the interior of the U-shaped frame and threadedly connected. The bottom of the second threaded rod is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the limit baffle, and both sides of the upper surface of the limit baffle are connected to the limit rod, and the upper end of the limit rod passes through the outside of the U-shaped frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a top plate is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box, and the end of the first threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a mounting seat is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box facing the conveyor belt, a plurality of cylinders are installed on the outer surface of the mounting seat, and striking blocks are installed at the ends of the telescopic ends of the cylinders.

[0012] Furthermore, a silicone pad is provided at the end of the striking block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows.

[0014] 1. The utility model can drive the lifting plate to rise slowly through the setting of the lifting mechanism, so that the garlic slices inside the inclined material box can be pushed out upwards. Moreover, since the inclined material box is set to be inclined, the pushed-out garlic slices can fall onto the conveyor belt for transportation, thereby avoiding the problem of the traditional vibrator feeding method causing the garlic slices to be damaged and affecting the appearance and quality of the garlic slices.

[0015] 2. The utility model can limit the height of the garlic slices being conveyed by setting a limit baffle, so that the stacked garlic slices are blocked until they are spread out and conveyed from under the limit baffle, thereby ensuring the normal recognition of the infrared sensor, avoiding inferior garlic slices from being not sorted out, and improving the sorting quality. Moreover, the height of the limit baffle can be adjusted by setting a lifting mechanism, and it can be used for sorting garlic slices of different thicknesses, with strong applicability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

In addition "communication" can be direct communication, also can pass through intermediate medium indirectly communicates. Among them, "fix" refers to each other connection and the relative position relation of connection is invariable. The position language mentioned in the embodiments of the utility model, for example, "in", "out", "top", "bottom" and the like, only is the direction of reference drawing, therefore, the position language used is in order to better, more clearly explain and understand the embodiments of the utility model, and is not indicate or imply that the device or element indicated must have specific orientation, constructs and operates with specific orientation, therefore, cannot be understood as the restriction of the embodiments of the utility model.

[0025] In the embodiments of the utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features limited by "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a kind of infrared color sorting equipment for garlic slice processing, including bottom plate 100, the upper surface of bottom plate 100 is equipped with conveyor belt 101, the side of conveyor belt 101 length direction is equipped with inclined material box 102, lifting plate 103 is equipped in inclined material box 102 by jacking mechanism 200 inside, the upper surface of conveyor belt 101 is equipped with limit baffle 104 by lifting mechanism 300. The other side of conveyor belt 101 length direction is equipped with guide material inclined plate 105, and the lower portion of guide material inclined plate 105 is provided with shunt plate 106, and the upper surface of bottom plate 100 is below the both ends of shunt plate 106 respectively provided with finished product box 107 and waste box 111. The outer surface of conveyor belt 101 is equipped with mounting bracket 108, and the outer surface of mounting bracket 108 is equipped with multiple infrared sensors 109, and the outer surface of mounting bracket 108 and below infrared sensor 109 are equipped with multiple air blow pipes 110.

[0027] During use, workers pour garlic slices into the inclined material box 102, and the lifting plate 103 is slowly raised by the lifting mechanism 200 to push the garlic slices inside the inclined material box 102 upward. Since the inclined material box 102 is inclined, the pushed-out garlic slices can fall on the conveyor belt 101 for transportation. When the garlic slices being transported pass through the conveyor belt 101, a single garlic slice can pass through the bottom of the limit baffle 104, while the stacked garlic slices are blocked until they are scattered and transported from under the limit baffle 104, so that the garlic slices can be transported. The garlic slices 106 are evenly distributed and fall from the guide inclined plate 105 to avoid overlapping. The height of the limit baffle 104 can be adjusted by setting the lifting mechanism 300, which is suitable for sorting garlic slices of different thicknesses. The garlic slices sliding down the guide inclined plate 105 are identified by the infrared sensor 109. The qualified garlic slices fall directly and fall into the finished product box 107 through the diverter plate 106. After the inferior garlic slices are identified, they are blown away by the air pipe 110 and fall into the waste box 111 through the diverter plate 106.

[0028] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 200 includes a U-shaped connecting plate 201 installed on the outer surface of the lifting plate 103, and the U-shaped connecting plate 201 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inclined material box 102. A motor 202 is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box 102, and the end of the output shaft of the motor 202 is connected to the first threaded rod 203. A nut seat 204 is installed on the outer surface of the first threaded rod 203, and the outer surface of the nut seat 204 is connected to the U-shaped connecting plate 201. When the garlic slices are conveyed, the motor 202 is started, and the motor 202 drives the first threaded rod 203 to rotate, driving the nut seat 204 to move along its length direction, and then the lifting plate 103 can be driven to move upward through the connection action of the U-shaped connecting plate 201 to push out the garlic slices.

[0029] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 300 includes a U-shaped frame 301 installed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 101. A second threaded rod 302 is passed through and threadedly connected to the interior of the U-shaped frame 301. The bottom of the second threaded rod 302 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the limit baffle 104. Both sides of the upper surface of the limit baffle 104 are connected to the limit rod 303. The upper end of the limit rod 303 passes through the outside of the U-shaped frame 301. When the second threaded rod 302 is rotated, the limit rod 303 limits the limit baffle 104, and thus can drive the limit baffle 104 to rise and fall vertically, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting its height.

[0030] Specifically, a top plate 400 is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box 102, and the end of the first threaded rod 203 is rotatably connected to the top plate 400. Through the setting of the top plate 400, a support point can be provided for the end of the first threaded rod 203, which not only makes its structure more stable, but also improves the smoothness of rotation.

[0031] Specifically, a mounting base 500 is installed on the outer surface of the inclined material box 102 facing the conveyor belt 101, and a plurality of cylinders 501 are installed on the outer surface of the mounting base 500. A striking block 502 is installed at the end of the telescopic end of the cylinder 501. In order to prevent the garlic slices from being scattered at the discharge port at the top of the inclined material box 102, the cylinder 501 can be started to drive the striking block 502 to intermittently strike the surface of the inclined material box 102. By striking the inclined material box 102, the surface of the inclined material box is shaken, thereby avoiding the situation of scattered material and ensuring the normal falling of the garlic slices. In addition, since the striking block 502 strikes the inclined material box 102 intermittently with a low frequency, it will not cause damage to the garlic slices.

[0032] Specifically, a silicone pad is provided at the end of the striking block 502. The setting of the silicone pad can play a buffering role when the striking block 502 hits the surface of the inclined material box 102, avoiding damage such as dents on the surface of the inclined material box 102.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
