Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili processing technology, specifically to a raw material sorting device for chili processing. Background Technology

[0002] Chili processing involves a series of treatments and transformations of chili peppers to meet different market demands and consumer preferences. During the processing, chili raw materials need to be sorted by a sorting device to remove unqualified chili peppers and ensure the quality of the processed products.

[0003] In common sorting devices, during the conveying and sorting process, chili peppers will directly collide and rub against the equipment components such as conveyor belts, screens, and baffles. For example, if the conveyor belt is too fast or has a rough surface, the chili peppers will be subjected to a large impact force during conveying, thus causing damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a raw material sorting device for chili processing, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a raw material sorting device for chili processing, comprising a box body, the box body including a defective product area, a finished product area and a water storage area connected in sequence, a water conveying mechanism installed on the outer surface of the box body, a sorting slide installed at the upper end of the water conveying mechanism, the sorting slide being conical and spiral, water inside the water conveying mechanism being able to enter the sorting slide, multiple sorting ports evenly distributed inside the sorting slide, the sorting ports being used to sort chilies of different sizes, a conveying channel fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sorting slide, the bottom end of the conveying channel being located in the finished product area.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sorting chute is configured as a smooth surface.

[0007] Furthermore, a grid is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the small chili pepper, and the conveying channel is fixedly connected to the grid.

[0008] Furthermore, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box, and the filter screen is located below the grid.

[0009] Furthermore, the water conveying mechanism includes a water pump and a water conveying head. The pumping end of the water pump is connected to the water storage area through water pipe A, and the draining end of the water pump is connected to the water conveying head through water pipe B. The water conveying head is equipped with four spray ends, all of which are fixedly connected to the sorting slide.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the box is equipped with an openable sealing door, which corresponds to the position of the finished product area.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. The raw material sorting device for chili processing uses a conical spiral sorting chute to sort chilies without vibration. During the sorting process, the chilies can move along the sorting chute with a long travel distance, resulting in a thorough and efficient sorting process. The device also greatly reduces the impact force on the chilies during transport, thus preventing damage and solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0013] 2. This raw material sorting device for chili processing, through its water conveying mechanism, can wash the chilies and provide downward thrust to prevent them from becoming clogged.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] See Figures 1-4A raw material sorting device for chili processing includes a housing 1, which comprises a defective product area 2, a finished product area 3, and a water storage area 4 connected in sequence. Small chilies are sent to the defective product area 2, while chilies of acceptable size are sent to the finished product area 3. A grid 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The diameter of the grid 8 is smaller than that of the small chilies. A conveying channel 11 is fixedly connected to the grid 8. The grid 8 is used to block the small chilies, allowing them to remain in the defective product area 2, while also facilitating water flow. A filter screen 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, located below the grid 8. The filter screen 9 not only blocks acceptable chilies but also filters the water, allowing the filtered water to enter the water storage area 4. A water conveying mechanism 5 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 1. The water conveying mechanism 5 includes a water pump 511 and a water conveying head 512. The pumping end of the water pump 511 is connected to the water storage area 4 through a water pipe 13A12, and the draining end of the water pump 511 is connected to the water conveying head 512 through a water pipe 13B12. 512 is equipped with four water spray ends, all of which are fixedly connected to the sorting slide. Water pump 511 can pump water from the water storage area 4 into the sorting slide to facilitate rinsing the peppers. The upper end of the water conveying mechanism 5 is equipped with a sorting slide 6, which is conical and spiral. The inner wall of the sorting slide 6 is made into a smooth surface to reduce the friction between the peppers and the sorting slide 6 and prevent damage to the peppers due to excessive friction during movement. Water inside the water conveying mechanism 5 can enter the sorting slide 6. The sorting slide 6 has multiple equally spaced sorting ports 7 inside, which are used to sort peppers of different sizes. The bottom end of the sorting slide 6 is fixedly connected to the conveying channel 11, which is located in the finished product area. The outer surface of the box 1 is equipped with an openable sealing door 10, which corresponds to the position of the finished product area 3. By opening the sealing door 10, the finished product area 3 can be opened, and qualified peppers can be taken out.

[0021] Working principle:

[0022] First, the chilies to be sorted are placed into the upper end of the sorting chute 6. Then, water from the water storage area 4 is pumped to the water conveying head 512 by the water pump 511, and then the water is conveyed into the sorting chute 6. The chilies can move slowly along the sorting chute 6, thus avoiding damage during the transportation process. The water not only washes the chilies but also further reduces the friction between the chilies and the sorting chute 6, protecting them. The impact of the water flow also prevents the chilies from getting clogged in the sorting chute 6. As the chilies move in the sorting chute 6, the sorting port 7 in the sorting chute 6 can sort them. Larger chilies enter the conveying channel 11 and then enter the finished product area 3, while smaller chilies are discharged through the sorting port 7 and fall into the defective product area 2. Because the sorting chute 6 is conical and spiral, the chilies have a large travel distance, ensuring that the chilies can be thoroughly sorted without secondary sorting, thus achieving high sorting efficiency.

[0023] Next, the water discharged from the sorting chute 6 will sequentially enter the defective product area 2, the finished product area 3, and the water storage area 4. When the water enters the water storage area 4 from the finished product area 3, the filter screen 9 can filter the water to prevent the residue in the chili peppers from entering the water storage area 4. The water pump 511 continues to transport the water in the water storage area 4 to the sorting chute, forming a cycle.

[0024] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
