Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice bran oil processing workshops, and in particular to a continuous measuring device for rice bran oil workshops. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of rice bran oil, continuous feeders can play a crucial role, especially during the raw material processing stage. The primary function of this equipment is likely to provide a continuous and stable supply of a fixed quantity of rice bran to the next process (such as pretreatment, oil extraction, or refining). This approach offers benefits including increased production efficiency, reduced raw material waste, and guaranteed product quality.

[0003] In the application of continuous feeding in rice bran oil workshops, continuous quantitative feeding is usually achieved by feeding raw materials into a weighing structure through a hopper, weighing the raw materials to achieve a quantitative effect, and then feeding the raw materials into a homogenizing and mixing device. This feeding device is relatively expensive in terms of price and subsequent maintenance. To save costs, a star-shaped unloader that can continuously feed and unload quantitatively is used as the continuous feeding equipment in rice bran oil workshops. However, this method cannot achieve variable addition. When a small amount or an excessive amount needs to be added, the amount added cannot be controlled, which is inconvenient in actual use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems existing in the prior art by proposing a continuous measuring device for rice bran oil workshops.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A continuous measuring device for rice bran oil production includes a support frame. A hopper cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support frame. A measuring hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper cylinder and communicates with it. Support shafts are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the measuring hopper via bearings. A rotating wheel that can rotate inside the measuring hopper is fixedly connected between the two support shafts. Four measuring slots are arranged in a circular array on the outer ring of the rotating wheel. A discharge port with the same size as the opening of the measuring slot is opened at the bottom of the measuring hopper. An adjusting plate that fits against the inner wall of the measuring slot is provided in each measuring slot. A receiving cavity is opened inside the rotating wheel.

Connecting rods arranged in a circumferential array are respectively hinged to the outer walls of the two threaded moving blocks. The end of the connecting rod away from the threaded moving block passes through the corresponding measuring groove and is hinged to the adjusting plate in the measuring groove.

[0008] Preferably, a position sensor is installed on the side of the adjustment plate facing the adjustment group. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the adjustment plate to calculate the volume of the material tank.

[0009] Preferably, the support shaft on the left side is hollow, and the left end of the bidirectional screw passes through the rotating wheel and the support shaft on the left side in sequence. A knob is fixedly sleeved on the part of the bidirectional screw that passes through the support shaft on the left end.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing strip is embedded on the outer side of the adjusting plate, and the sealing strip is in contact with the inner wall of the measuring groove.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected between the bracket and the measuring hopper, the motor is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate, and a transmission mechanism is connected between the motor and one of the support shafts.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on a connecting plate, a worm gear I and a worm sleeve II fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a worm sleeve I meshing with the worm gear I fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor, and a worm gear II meshing with the worm sleeve II fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of one of the support shafts.

[0013] Preferably, the reduction ratio between the worm sleeve I and the worm wheel I is 10, and the reduction ratio between the worm sleeve II and the worm wheel II is 10.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, the rotating wheel allows the raw material to be quickly switched between different measuring troughs, so that the top measuring trough is used for feeding and the bottom measuring trough is used for unloading, ensuring the continuity of measuring and achieving high smoothness of feeding and unloading, thus ensuring seamless connection of the production line.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, by moving and rotating the bidirectional screw, the connecting rod can be driven to move the adjusting plate through the threaded moving block. The volume in the measuring trough is changed according to the position of the adjusting plate, thereby achieving precise control of the input amount.

[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a continuous measuring device for rice bran oil workshops, including a support 1. A material hopper cylinder 2 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the support 1. A measuring hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material hopper cylinder 2 and communicates with it. Support shafts 32 are rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the measuring hopper 3 via bearings. A rotating wheel 33 that can rotate inside the measuring hopper 3 is fixedly connected between the two support shafts 32. Four measuring grooves 34 are arranged in a circular array on the outer ring of the rotating wheel 33. A discharge port 31 with the same size as the opening of the measuring groove 34 is opened at the bottom of the measuring hopper 3. An adjusting plate 35 that fits against the inner wall of the measuring groove 34 is provided in each measuring groove 34. A receiving cavity 36 is opened inside the rotating wheel 33. An adjusting component 37 that drives the adjusting plate 35 to move is provided in the receiving cavity 36. A motor 4 that drives the rotating wheel 33 to rotate is provided outside the measuring hopper 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the adjusting component 37 includes a bidirectional screw 371 rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 36. Two threaded moving blocks 372 are threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 371 and spaced apart. Connecting rods 373 arranged in a circular array are respectively hinged to the outer walls of the two threaded moving blocks 372. The end of the connecting rod 373 away from the threaded moving block 372 passes through the corresponding measuring groove 34 and is hinged to the adjusting plate 35 in the measuring groove 34. When the bidirectional screw 371 rotates, it drives the two threaded moving blocks 372 to move in opposite directions through threaded transmission. When the threaded moving blocks 372 move, they drive the connecting rods 373 to move. The connecting rods 373 can push the adjusting plate 35 to move to change the volume in the measuring groove 34.

[0027] In this embodiment, a position sensor 38 is installed on the side of the adjustment plate 35 facing the adjustment group. The position sensor 38 is used to detect the position of the adjustment plate 35 to calculate the internal volume of the measuring tank 34.

[0028] In this embodiment, the left support shaft 32 is hollow, and the left end of the bidirectional screw 371 passes through the rotating wheel 33 and the left support shaft 32 in sequence. A knob 374 is fixedly sleeved on the part of the left end of the bidirectional screw 371 that passes through the support shaft 32. The knob 374 can conveniently control the rotation of the bidirectional screw 371 to change the position of the adjustment plate 35.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sealing strip 39 is embedded on the outer side of the adjusting plate 35. The sealing strip 39 fits against the inner wall of the measuring groove 34, and the sealing strip 39 achieves a seal between the adjusting plate 35 and the inner wall of the measuring groove 34.

[0030] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected between the support 1 and the measuring bin 3. The motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate 5. A transmission mechanism 6 is connected between the motor 4 and one of the support shafts 32. The transmission mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 61 rotatably mounted on the connecting plate 5. A worm gear I 62 and a worm sleeve II 63 are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 61. A worm sleeve I 64 that meshes with the worm gear I 62 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 4. A worm gear II 65 that meshes with the worm sleeve II 63 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of one of the support shafts 32. The motor 4 drives the worm sleeve I 64 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear I 62 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the worm gear I 62 drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate the worm sleeve II 63. The rotation of the worm sleeve II 63 drives the worm gear II 65 that meshes with it to rotate the support shaft 32, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating wheel 33.

[0031] In this embodiment, the reduction ratio between worm sleeve I 64 and worm wheel I 62 is 10, and the reduction ratio between worm sleeve II 63 and worm wheel II 65 is 10. The transmission mechanism 6 enables the reduction ratio between the output of motor 4 and the rotation of support shaft 32 to reach 100, which can reduce speed by a large ratio and increase torque. Compared with gear transmission, the transmission is smoother and more stable, resulting in a better user experience.

[0032] How to use and how to work this device:

[0033] When using this device, the raw materials are first fed into the silo cylinder 2. Some of the raw materials will fall into a measuring trough 34. At this time, the motor 4 starts and drives the worm wheel I 62 to rotate through the worm sleeve I 64. The worm wheel I 62 drives the rotating shaft 61 and makes the worm sleeve II 63 rotate. Then, the worm sleeve II 63 drives the support shaft 32 to make the rotating wheel 33 rotate. The measuring trough 34 containing the raw materials rotates with the raw materials, and makes another measuring trough 34 rotate to the bottom of the silo cylinder 2 for feeding. As the rotating wheel 33 rotates, the top measuring trough 34 feeds and the bottom measuring trough 34 discharges, ensuring the continuity of measuring. This measuring equipment has a low price and low subsequent maintenance cost, saving costs.

[0034] Before measuring material, the bidirectional screw 371 can be rotated by knob 374. When the bidirectional screw 371 rotates, the two threaded moving blocks 372 move closer or further apart through threaded transmission. The threaded moving blocks 372 can push the adjusting plate 35 to move through the connecting rod 373. The volume in the measuring groove 34 is changed according to the position of the adjusting plate 35. After the volume in the measuring groove 34 is changed, variable addition can be realized. When a small amount or an excessive amount needs to be added, the amount added can be controlled, which provides convenience in actual use.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
