Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding device technology, and in particular to an automatic feeding device for goji berries. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of agricultural machinery, goji berries are now processed through automated production lines after harvesting, including washing, drying, and screening. During these processes, the goji berries need to be fed, which involves an automatic feeding device. However, during automatic feeding, impurities and metals mixed in with the goji berries require further screening, increasing the burden of removing these impurities and metals. Furthermore, the heat generated during production can cause the goji berries to stick together during feeding. Additionally, the conveyor belt in the feeding device is in contact with the pulleys, which can easily cause slippage between the belt and pulleys, affecting the feeding progress. Moreover, the conveyor belt is prone to damage at the edge of long-term tension, shortening its lifespan. Utility Model Content

It controls an electric motor to drive the conveyor belt and feeding plate to rotate, and controls a fan to blow air onto the position of the conveyor belt. During the feeding process, impurities and metal blocks in the goji berries will pass through the mesh and fall into the interior of the drainage shell. The drainage shell discharges the impurities and metal blocks outward. The conveyor belt and feeding plate automatically feed the goji berries, and the fan dissipates heat from the goji berries during feeding.

[0004] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an automatic goji berry feeding device, specifically comprising: a stabilizing frame, a positioning plate located at the middle of the outer side of the stabilizing frame, a storage housing installed at the top and bottom of the stabilizing frame, a set of rotating holes on each side of the stabilizing frame, two symmetrically distributed stabilizing rollers installed at the rotating holes, a conveyor belt installed between the two stabilizing rollers, a set of evenly distributed feeding plates installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt, two symmetrically distributed stabilizing blocks located at the bottom of the feeding plates, a locking buckle installed on the outer side of the stabilizing blocks, a drive mechanism and a flow-guiding housing installed at the bottom of the stabilizing frame, the drive mechanism consisting of an electric motor and a drive gear, a tensioning structure consisting of a tensioning plate and a threaded rod installed between the positioning plate and the drive mechanism, and a fan installed at the bottom of the flow-guiding housing.

[0005] Furthermore, a sliding groove is formed on the inner side of the positioning plate. The sliding groove has a cross-shaped structure, and a sliding block is provided on each side of the tensioning plate. The sliding block has a rectangular structure and extends into the interior of the sliding groove.

[0006] Furthermore, a discharge hole is opened in the middle of one side of the drainage shell, a set of mesh holes are opened on both sides of the conveyor belt, and a set of reinforcing iron sheets are provided on the upper and lower sides of both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0007] Furthermore, the stabilizing block is a cylindrical structure, and a set of interconnected through holes are opened between the conveyor belt and the reinforcing sheet metal. The through holes correspond to the stabilizing blocks, and the stabilizing blocks pass through the interior of the through holes. An annular groove is opened at the bottom of the stabilizing block, and the inner side of the locking buckle extends into the interior of the annular groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner side of the conveyor belt is provided with a set of meshing teeth at the middle position, which mesh with the drive gear. The electric motor is installed on the outer side of the tensioning plate, and a rotating shaft is provided on each side of the drive gear. One side of the rotating shaft is connected to the drive shaft of the electric motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating shaft of the drive gear has a pressing protrusion on its outer side, and the pressing protrusion has an arc structure.

[0010] Furthermore, an annular groove is formed on the outer side of the stabilizing roller at the middle position, and the meshing teeth of the conveyor belt extend into the interior of the annular groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a ventilation hole is provided at the top of the drainage housing, and the ventilation hole is connected to a fan.

[0013] This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for goji berries, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The feeding device consists of a conveyor belt, a feeding plate, an electric motor, and a drive gear to automatically feed goji berries. The conveyor belt is reinforced with meshing teeth and a reinforcing sheet. The reinforcing sheet strengthens the conveyor belt, ensuring stable rotation under stress. The meshing teeth prevent slippage between the conveyor belt and the pulleys during rotation.

[0015] In addition, a squeezing protrusion is set on the basis of the drive gear. When the drive gear rotates, the squeezing protrusion can intermittently press the bottom of the conveyor belt, causing the bottom of the conveyor belt to shake under force, thereby achieving the effect of assisting in cleaning the conveyor belt.

[0016] The conveyor belt is equipped with a tensioning structure, mesh, and a flow-guiding shell. During the feeding process, impurities and metal pieces in the goji berries will pass through the mesh and fall into the flow-guiding shell. The flow-guiding shell will discharge the impurities and metal pieces outward. The tensioning structure includes a tensioning plate, a threaded rod, and a support spring. The support spring will elastically press the drive mechanism downward, at which point the conveyor belt will be tensioned, pulling the drive mechanism upward and moving the external thread of the threaded rod into the threaded hole. This achieves a stable effect after the drive mechanism is pulled up, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the conveyor belt.

[0017] A fan is installed on the base of the feed housing to dissipate heat from the goji berries being fed. A stabilizing block and a locking buckle are installed on the base of the feed plate. The locking buckle, together with the locking ring and the stabilizing block, ensures the stable installation position of the feed plate. The locking buckle also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the feed plate. Attached Figure Description
