Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of curved material distribution and conveying, in particular to a novel curved material distribution and conveying equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production process of high-temperature Daqu, the mixing of curved material plays a crucial role as a core link. This process aims to fully mix the crushed wheat, mother Daqu powder, and water in precise proportions to ensure that the mixture reaches an ideal uniform state, laying a solid foundation for subsequent Daqu making. The quality of the mixed curved material not only directly affects the forming effect of Daqu, but also deeply influences a series of subsequent processes such as airing, storing, cultivating bacteria, and fermentation, thereby having a decisive impact on the unique flavor and final quality of Daqu. Currently, in most high-temperature Daqu production practices, a configuration of one spiral stirring conveyor shared by two floors is commonly used for mixing and conveying curved material. The specific operation is as follows: the staff needs to manually divide the mixed curved material into two parts, one part is directly used for Daqu making on the second floor, and the other part is vertically dropped from the pre-set hole on the second floor to the first floor through the bucket car, and then Daqu making is carried out on the first floor. However, this traditional method has many shortcomings and limitations:

[0003] High labor intensity and uneven distribution: manual distribution not only increases the physical burden of the operator, but also due to the intervention of human factors, it is difficult to ensure the accurate equal distribution of the two parts of the curved material, often resulting in uneven distribution.

[0004] Damage to material structure: During the process of vertically dropping the curved material from the second floor to the first floor, due to the impact force and gravity, the internal structure of the curved material may be damaged, such as weakening of the binding force between particles, uneven particle size distribution, etc., which may adversely affect the quality and production efficiency of Daqu.

[0005] Inconsistent state of curved material: Due to the distance, gravity influence, and possible operational differences in the process of conveying the curved material from the spiral stirring conveyor to the second and first floors, there are significant differences in the state (such as humidity, temperature, particle size distribution, etc.) of the curved material reaching the two floors for Daqu making. This inconsistency directly leads to differences in the quality of the Daqu made on the upper and lower floors, affecting the overall quality and uniformity of Daqu. SUMMARY

[0006] The utility model discloses a novel curved material distribution conveying equipment to solve the uneven distribution caused by manual distribution in the conveying process of the curved material in the prior art, and increase the labor intensity of workers. The vertical discharging of the curved material causes changes in the organization structure, which affects the quality and production progress of the large curved material, and the different residence time of the curved material in the first floor and the second floor affects the inconsistent state of the curved material, resulting in different quality of the curved blank.

The second-floor curved material conveying device conveys the two parts of curved material to the cross-floor curved material conveying device and the second-floor koji-making process, respectively. The cross-floor curved material conveying device conveys the curved material to the first-floor curved material conveying device, which conveys the curved material to the first-floor koji-making process.

The receiving hopper is fixed above the top of the inclined belt conveyor and is connected to the output end of the one-way belt conveyor. The top of the inclined belt conveyor is located on the second floor, and the bottom is located on the first floor.

[0012] Further, the first-floor curved material conveying device comprises a second bidirectional belt conveyor. The output end of the bottom of the inclined belt conveyor is connected to the input end of the second bidirectional belt conveyor.

[0013] Further, a protective cover is provided on the middle segment of the inclined belt conveyor.

[0014] Further, the input end of the first and second bidirectional belt conveyors is located in the middle part, and a blocking frame is arranged in the middle part.

[0015] Further, the single-direction belt conveyor, the first and second bidirectional belt conveyors and the oblique belt conveyor are all provided with a blocking plate on both sides.

[0017] Further, the single-direction belt conveyor, the first and second bidirectional belt conveyors and the oblique belt conveyor are all driven by variable frequency speed reduction motors, and the controller controls the output speed of each variable frequency speed reduction motor.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0019] The novel material distributing and conveying equipment of the present application uniformly distributes the material through the material distributing hopper, and the material is conveyed to the first floor by the single-direction belt conveyor and the oblique belt conveyor, so that the material is prevented from vertically falling to the first floor, and the organization structure of the material is stable.
