Detailed Implementation
[0018] 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.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 A salt-sprinkling device for pickling vegetables includes a movable base 1, a liftable top plate 2 above the movable base 1, and a salt-sprinkling box 3 that can move back and forth behind the top plate 2. The salt-sprinkling box 3 has a salt-sprinkling nozzle 4 at its bottom. A counterweight 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable base 1. The counterweight 31 improves the stability of the entire salt-sprinkling device and prevents it from tipping over. A telescopic rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top plate 2. The end of the telescopic rod 35 away from the top plate 2 is fixedly connected to the salt-sprinkling box 3. The telescopic rod 35 is used to limit the movement trajectory of the salt-sprinkling box 3, ensuring that the salt-sprinkling box 3 can only move in a straight line towards or away from the top plate 2. In actual use, graduation lines can be engraved on the inner wall of the salt-sprinkling box 3, making it convenient for workers to observe the amount of salt and facilitating quantitative salt sprinkling.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 A fixed frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable base 1. The fixed frame 5 is open at the front and back. A connecting bracket 6 is movably inserted into the fixed frame 5. The top of the connecting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 2. A movable shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the protrusion at the bottom of the movable base 1. A movable wheel 26 is installed on the movable shaft 25. A driven gear 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable shaft 25. A support plate 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable base 1. A movable motor 29 is installed on the rear side of the support plate 28. A drive gear 30 that meshes with the driven gear 27 is installed on the output shaft of the movable motor 29.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 The inner wall of the fixed frame 5 is provided with several adjustment grooves 7. The connecting frame 6 is movably connected with a positioning pin 8, which is movably inserted into the corresponding adjustment groove 7. The inner wall of the salt box 3 is fixedly connected with an inner plate 32. An auxiliary motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner plate 32. A rotating rod 34 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the auxiliary motor 33. The bottom of the rotating rod 34 is in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the salt box 3. The auxiliary motor 33 and the rotating rod 34 can stir and disperse the salt in the salt box 3, which is conducive to the salting work and also to the observation of the amount of salt.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4A limiting plate 9 is provided below the connecting frame 6. The top of the limiting plate 9 is in contact with the bottom of the connecting frame 6. A limiting rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 9. The top end of the limiting rod 10 is movably inserted into the positioning pin 8. A motion groove 11 is provided on the connecting frame 6. A motion plate 12 is slidably connected in the motion groove 11. A connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motion plate 12. The bottom end of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting plate 9. A spring 14 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 13.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 A vertical plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 2. A horizontal plate 16 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 15. A material hopper 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the horizontal plate 16. An electrically controlled valve 18 is installed on the discharge pipe at the bottom of the material hopper 17. A controller 36 is installed on the vertical plate 15. The controller 36 is specifically a PLC controller. A basic PLC controller is sufficient for this technical solution. The specific model will not be described here.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 An electric push rod 19 is installed on the vertical plate 15. A drive block 20 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric push rod 19. The bottom of the drive block 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the salt container 3.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 A fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the salt container 3. A drive motor 22 is installed on the top of the fixing plate 21. A connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 22. A sealing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 23. The controller 36 is electrically connected to the electric control valve 18, the electric push rod 19, the drive motor 22, the moving motor 29, and the auxiliary motor.
[0026] In use, the controller 36 controls the moving motor 29 to operate, which in turn drives the drive gear 30 to rotate. The drive gear 30, in turn, drives the moving shaft 25 to rotate via the driven gear 27, thus rotating the moving wheel 26 and allowing the entire salt-sprinkling device to move. The controller 36 then controls the electrically controlled valve 18 to open, allowing the salt pre-added in the material bucket 17 to fall into the salt-sprinkling box 3. Next, the controller 36 controls the auxiliary motor 33 to operate, which drives the rotating rod 34 to rotate. The rotating rod 34 stirs the salt in the salt-sprinkling box 3, ensuring the salt is evenly spread and breaking up the salt. When the required amount of salt is poured out, the controller 36 controls the electrically controlled valve 18 to close. Then, the electric push rod 19, via the drive block 20, moves the salt-sprinkling box 3, allowing the salt-sprinkling box 3 to move. Directly above the pickling jar, the auxiliary motor 33 continues to work, and the controller 36 controls the drive motor 22 to work. The drive motor 22 will drive the sealing plate 24 to move through the connecting block 23. The sealing plate 24 will disengage from the state of sealing the salt sprinkling port 4, so that the salt in the salt sprinkling box 3 will fall through the salt sprinkling port 4, thus sprinkling salt evenly. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the salt sprinkling box 3 from the ground, the limiting plate 9 will move downward. The limiting plate 9 will drive the moving plate 12 to slide on the inner wall of the moving groove 11 through the connecting rod 13. The spring 14 will be compressed, and the limiting rod 10 will disengage from the positioning pin 8, pulling the positioning pin 8. The positioning pin 8 will disengage from the adjustment groove 7, thus allowing the top plate 2 to move upward. The top plate 2 will drive the positioning pin 8 to move upward through the connecting frame 6. After the adjustment is completed, the positioning pin 8 will be inserted into the new adjustment groove 7.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
