Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a feeding fixture, and more specifically, to a scraper conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing machinery, scraper conveyors are the most commonly used pre-processing equipment for fruits and vegetables. In tomato sauce production equipment, the pre-processing also includes a scraper conveyor system. Its main function is to transport tomatoes to the next washing stage. Specifically, the conveyor uses an internal motor to drive a chain, causing all scrapers to simultaneously lift and transport the fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Scraper conveyors are prone to damaging fruit during operation. This damage not only affects the quality of the final product but also contaminates the production line. There is an urgent need for a scraper conveyor that can better protect the fruit and ensure product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing scraper elevators that easily damage materials during transport, and provides a scraper elevator that can transport materials and water together, thereby using water as a buffer to reduce material damage.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A scraper conveyor includes a water flow feeding trough and an inclined lifting conveyor belt. Scrapers are evenly spaced on the lifting conveyor belt, and the scrapers are provided with water passage holes. The water flow feeding trough is provided with a discharge port, and the water flow feeding trough feeds water and materials onto the scrapers through the discharge port.

[0007] Material and water are fed together through a water flow chute and then discharged through the outlet onto a lifting conveyor belt. The lifting conveyor belt uses scrapers to trap the water and material, lifting them up. During the lifting process, water flows downwards through water passages.

[0008] In this process, water plays a role in transporting and cleaning materials. As the water flows from the feed trough to the lifting conveyor belt, it acts as a buffer, reducing damage to the materials during movement, improving the quality of the final product, protecting the production line, and preventing contamination.

[0009] Preferably, a water recovery tank is installed at the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt. The water recovery tank is connected to the water feeding trough, and a water pump returns the water flowing down the lifting conveyor belt to the water feeding trough. The water flowing down from the water passage is recovered in the water recovery tank, and the water flows down to the next scraper, washing the material on the scraper layer by layer. Finally, the water in the water recovery tank is pumped back to the water feeding trough for reuse.

[0010] Preferably, the drainage holes are located near the bottom of the scraper. This arrangement of the drainage holes maximizes water drainage.

[0011] Preferably, the shape of the discharge port is adapted to the movement trajectory of the scraper, and the width of the discharge port is smaller than the width of the scraper. This structure avoids interference between the discharge port and the scraper, ensuring that both the water and material discharged from the discharge port reach the scraper.

[0012] Preferably, when the scraper passes the lowest point of the discharge port, the lowest point of the scraper is the junction of the scraper and the lifting conveyor belt. This structure ensures that the material and fluid entering the scraper are always carried and do not fall off.

[0013] Preferably, the water-feed trough has a ramp near the discharge port, with the discharge port located at the lowest point of the ramp. This structure generates the power to propel the material through the water flow and the ramp.

[0014] Preferably, the scraper is made of stainless steel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The mixed water flow is used for transportation, which buffers the materials while cleaning them, thereby improving product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Embodiment:

[0027] A scraper 6-lift conveyor, as shown in Figure 1 the figure, includes a water flow feeding trough 1 and a lifting conveyor belt 5 arranged obliquely.

[0028] As shown in Figure 2 the figure, among which, scrapers 6 are equidistantly arranged on the lifting conveyor belt 5, and water passing holes 7 are provided on the scrapers 6. The water passing holes 7 are arranged at positions close to the bottom of the scrapers 6. The arrangement of the water passing holes 7 can maximize the draining of water. The length direction of the scraper 6 is arranged along the width direction of the lifting conveyor belt 5, and the scraper 6 is perpendicular to the lifting conveyor belt 5.

[0029] The water flow feeding trough 1 is provided with a discharge port 4. The shape of the discharge port 4 adapts to the movement track of the scraper 6, and the width of the discharge port 4 is smaller than the width of the scraper 6. This structure avoids interference between the discharge port 4 and the scraper 6, so that both the water and the material discharged from the discharge port 4 can reach the scraper 6.

[0030] The water flow feeding trough 1 feeds water flow and materials onto the scraper 6 through the discharge port 4. The material of the scraper 6 is stainless steel.

[0031] In some embodiments, both sides of the lifting conveyor belt 5 have baffles, and the gap between the baffles and the lifting conveyor belt 5 is not large enough for the material to fall or get stuck. Water flow can flow downward from the gap.

[0032] When the scraper 6 passes the lowest point of the discharge port 4, the lowest point of the scraper 6 is where it connects with the lifting conveyor belt 5. This structure ensures that the material and water entering the scraper 6 are always supported and do not fall off. The water flow feed trough 1 has a ramp 3 near the discharge port 4, and the discharge port 4 is located at the lowest point of the ramp 3. This structure generates the power to propel the material through the water flow and the ramp 3.

[0033] A water recovery tank 2 is located at the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt 5. The water recovery tank 2 is connected to the water feeding trough 1, and a water pump returns the water flowing down from the lifting conveyor belt 5 to the water feeding trough 1. The water flowing down from the water passage 7 is recovered through the water recovery tank 2, and the water flows down to the next scraper 6 in stages, then washes the material on the scraper 6 layer by layer. Finally, the water in the water recovery tank 2 is pumped back to the water feeding trough 1 for reuse.

[0034] The aforementioned water flows out from the gap and into the water recycling pool 2.

[0035] Material and water are fed through the water feed trough 1 and then sent together through the discharge port 4 to the lifting conveyor belt 5. The lifting conveyor belt 5 uses scrapers 6 to intercept the water and material, thus lifting them up. During the lifting process, water flows downward through the water passage 7.

[0036] In this process, water plays a role in transporting and cleaning materials. As the water flows from the feed trough 1 to the lifting conveyor belt 5, the water acts as a buffer, reducing damage to the materials during movement, improving the quality of the final product, protecting the production line, and preventing contamination.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely preferred solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. Other variations and modifications are possible without departing from the technical solutions described in the claims.
