Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corn flake screening technology, and in particular relates to a corn flake screening device. Background Technology

[0002] Corn chips are a type of puffed food. The main raw material used in the processing of puffed food is corn. The production process of corn chips generally includes multiple steps such as crushing, mixing, extrusion, cooling, sieving, drying, and packaging.

[0003] In existing corn flake processing, the material is usually added directly into the device. However, adding too much material at once can cause blockages, preventing the material from flowing out properly and even causing the device to stop operating. To address this, we have provided a corn flake screening device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a corn flake screening device that pushes the material outward by a movable rod, preventing the feed inlet from being blocked due to too much material being poured in at once, thus preventing the device from working properly. This solves the problem that existing devices will block the device when too much material is poured in at once, preventing the material inside the device from flowing out normally, and in severe cases, even causing the device to stop operating.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a corn flake screening device, comprising an anti-clogging mechanism and a second fixed block. The anti-clogging mechanism has a screening mechanism on its outer surface. A working box is fixedly connected to the right side of the second fixed block, and a second motor is fixedly connected to the top of the second fixed block. The bottom output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a linkage shaft via a coupling. The right side of the linkage shaft passes through the working box and extends into it. A turntable is fixedly connected to the right side of the linkage shaft. A groove is opened on the right side of the turntable, and a movable rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A pushing block is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod, and a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working box. When the movable rod expands outward, it pushes the material to prevent the feed inlet from being blocked due to too much material being poured in at once, thus preventing the device from working properly.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed disk has a sliding groove inside, and there are a number of sliding grooves arranged in a circular array around the fixed disk. The inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the push block. The left side of the push block is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod. The movement of the movable rod drives the push block to move and compresses the second spring.

[0008] Furthermore, a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push block, and the bottom of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The reaction force generated by the compression of the second spring allows the movable rod to move upward quickly.

[0009] Furthermore, the screening mechanism includes an adjustment groove inside the working box, a positioning rod fixedly connected inside the working box, a screening plate rotatably connected to the outer surface of the positioning rod, a discharge port on the right side of the working box, a fixing block fixedly connected to the front of the working box, a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the first motor via a coupling, the back of the rotating shaft penetrating the working box and extending into the adjustment groove, two rotating shafts in total, a pulley fixedly connected to the outer surface of the top rotating shaft, a belt drivingly connected to the outer surface of the pulley, and the screened material is discharged through the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the belt away from the first pulley is connected to the second pulley. The outer surface of the rotating shaft at the bottom is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second pulley. The front and back sides of the rotating shaft at the bottom are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting groove. Half gears are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both rotating shafts. A rack is meshed with the right side of the half gear. The outer surface of the rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the working box. When the half gear disengages from the rack, the spring rebounds, causing the rack to move downward and generate vibration to screen the material.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly connected to the top of the rack, a rotating block is fixedly connected to the right side of the rack, and an extension rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating block. The right side of the extension rod passes through the sieve plate and extends into it. A telescopic groove is provided inside the sieve plate, and the inner wall of the telescopic groove is slidably connected to the outer surface of the extension rod. The rack is quickly reset by the rebound of the spring.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a movable rod to pour materials into the working box. Simultaneously, a second motor is started, which drives the linkage shaft to rotate. The rotation of the linkage shaft then drives the turntable to rotate. When the turntable rotates, the movable rod located inside the turntable slides along the slide groove, causing the movable rod to expand and contract. During the expansion and contraction of the movable rod, the pushing block is moved. The movement of the pushing block then compresses the second spring, causing the movable rod to push the material when it expands outward. This prevents the feed inlet from becoming blocked due to too much material being poured in at once, which would prevent the device from working properly.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses a sieve plate. When the first motor starts, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the half gear to rotate synchronously. Then, the rotation of the half gear drives the rack to move upward and compresses the spring. When the rack moves upward, it drives the rotating block to move and pulls the extension rod to move upward and pulls the sieve plate to move upward. When the half gear disengages from the rack, the spring rebounds and causes the rack to move downward, generating vibration to sieve the material.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a corn flake screening device, including an anti-blocking mechanism 2 and a fixed block 201. A screening mechanism 1 is provided on the outer surface of the anti-blocking mechanism 2. A working box 101 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed block 201. A second motor 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed block 201. A linkage shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the second motor 202 via a coupling. The linkage shaft 203 passes through the working box 101 on its right side and extends into the interior. A turntable 204 is fixedly connected to the right side of the linkage shaft 203. A sliding groove 205 is provided on the right side of the turntable 204. A movable rod 207 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 205. A pushing block 208 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod 207. A fixed plate 208 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the working box 101. 12. Pour the material into the working box 101 and start the second motor 202. The second motor 202 drives the linkage shaft 203 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the linkage shaft 203 drives the turntable 204 to rotate. When the turntable 204 rotates, the movable rod 207 located inside the turntable 204 will slide along the slide groove 205, causing the movable rod 207 to expand and contract. When the movable rod 207 expands and contracts, it will simultaneously drive the push block 208 to move. Then, the movement of the push block 208 will squeeze the spring 210, so that the movable rod 207 pushes the material when it expands outward. This prevents the feed port from being blocked due to too much material being poured in at once, which would prevent the device from working properly.

[0026] The fixed disk 212 has a sliding groove 209 inside. There are a number of sliding grooves 209, which are arranged in a circular array around the fixed disk 212.

[0027] The inner wall of the sliding groove 209 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the push block 208, and the left side of the push block 208 is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable rod 207.

[0028] A spring 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push block 208, and the bottom of the spring 210 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 209.

[0029] The screening mechanism 1 includes an adjustment groove 104 inside the working box 101. A positioning rod 103 is fixedly connected inside the working box 101. A screening plate 102 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the positioning rod 103. A discharge port 211 is opened on the right side of the working box 101.

[0030] A fixing block 117 is fixedly connected to the front of the work box 101. A first motor 111 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing block 117. A rotating shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom output end of the first motor 111 via a coupling. The back of the rotating shaft 112 passes through the work box 101 and extends into the adjustment groove 104. There are two rotating shafts 112. A pulley 113 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 112 located at the top. A belt 115 is connected to the outer surface of the pulley 113.

[0031] The end of belt 115 away from pulley 113 is connected to pulley 114. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 112 at the bottom is fixedly connected to the inner wall of pulley 114. The front and back of the rotating shaft 112 at the bottom are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting groove 104. Half gears 110 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both rotating shafts 112. A rack 105 is meshed with the right side of the half gear 110. The outer surface of the rack 105 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the working box 101.

[0032] A spring 106 is fixedly connected to the top of the rack 105, and a rotating block 107 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rack 105. An extension rod 108 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating block 107. The right side of the extension rod 108 passes through the screening plate 102 and extends into it. A telescopic groove 116 is provided inside the screening plate 102. The inner wall of the telescopic groove 116 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the extension rod 108. The first motor 111 starts and drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 112 rotates, it will drive the half gear 110 to rotate synchronously. Then, the rotation of the half gear 110 will drive the rack 105 to move upward and squeeze the spring 106. When the rack 105 moves upward, it will drive the rotating block 107 to move and pull the extension rod 108 to move and pull the screening plate 102 to move upward. When the half gear 110 disengages from the rack 105, the spring 106 rebounds, causing the rack 105 to move downward and generate vibration to screen the material.

[0033] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: The operator first places the device in the designated position, then pours the material into the work box 101, and simultaneously starts the second motor 202. The second motor 202 drives the linkage shaft 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the turntable 204 to rotate. When the turntable 204 rotates, the movable rod 207 located inside the turntable 204 slides along the slide groove 205, causing the movable rod 207 to expand and contract. During this expansion and contraction, the movable rod 207 simultaneously drives the pushing block 208 to move, which in turn compresses the second spring 210. This causes the movable rod 207 to push the material as it expands outward, preventing the feed inlet from becoming clogged due to excessive material being poured in at once, thus ensuring the device functions properly. After the material falls onto the screening plate 102, the first motor 111 is started. A motor 111 starts and drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate. The rotating shaft 112 then drives the pulley 113 to rotate. When the pulley 113 rotates, the belt 115 drives the pulley 114 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 112 on the other side to rotate. When the rotating shaft 112 rotates, it simultaneously drives the half gear 110 to rotate. The rotation of the half gear 110 then drives the rack 105 to move upward and compresses the spring 106. When the rack 105 moves upward, it drives the rotating block 107 to move and pulls the extension rod 108 to move, which in turn pulls the screening plate 102 to move upward. When the half gear 110 disengages from the rack 105, the spring 106 rebounds, causing the rack 105 to move downward and generate vibration to screen the material. Some material located above the screening plate 102 will be discharged from the discharge port 211 simultaneously.
