Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a device that facilitates feeding and uses wind power to transport vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] The washing process is crucial in the process of turning mustard greens into dried mustard greens. Washing removes impurities such as dirt, dust, and small stones from the surface of the mustard greens. If these impurities are not removed, they may affect the taste and hygiene of the dried mustard greens during the subsequent pickling and fermentation process. Moreover, washed mustard greens absorb salt more easily, allowing the salt to penetrate evenly during the subsequent pickling process, making the dried mustard greens taste more even and delicious. Therefore, the transportation of washed mustard greens is also very important.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN221938610U discloses a conveying device for processing dehydrated vegetables. According to its instruction manual and drawings, the device is equipped with a feeding device above the dispensing basket. The feeding device fills the dispensing basket through a first conveyor belt. An electric push rod pushes the dispensing basket into a second conveyor belt. At this time, a third conveyor belt carries the next dispensing basket into the discharge port of the first conveyor belt. Repeated operation can meet the dispensing and transportation of dehydrated vegetables. However, this method of conveying vegetables cannot add some pickling seasonings at the same time, which brings inconvenience to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the problems encountered in the transportation of mustard greens by proposing a device that facilitates feeding and utilizes wind power to transport vegetables. The hopper can hold water, salt, or mustard greens, which are then transported to the next process by the wind. This allows for the addition of seasonings or water while transporting mustard greens. Since the horizontal plate is parallel to the wind direction, the material exiting from the end of the horizontal plate is transported to the next process by the wind. It is difficult for air to leak out from the end of the air duct body, thus allowing for the addition of seasonings or water without affecting the transportation of mustard greens by the air duct body.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a device that facilitates feeding and uses wind power to transport vegetables, including a wind duct body, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of feeding hoppers, each feeding hopper having a guide channel at its end, the guide channel extending into the interior of the wind duct body, and one end of the wind duct body being connected to an external air outlet.

[0006] Preferably, the guide channel includes a horizontal plate and an inclined plate, one end of the inclined plate is connected to the inside of the hopper, and the other end is connected to the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is parallel to the wind direction of the guide channel, and the interiors of the horizontal plate and the inclined plate are hollow.

[0007] Preferably, each of the hoppers is provided with hopper support columns on both sides, and each hopper support column is connected to the surface of the guide channel.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the top horizontal direction of the hopper is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom horizontal direction. This setting is mainly to guide the material being fed in, so that it can slide down along the inside of the hopper.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the discharge port of the horizontal plate and the inclined plate is smaller than the cross-sectional area inside the guide channel, so that the horizontal plate and the inclined plate have less impact on the airflow inside the air duct body.

[0010] Preferably, the cross surface of the air duct body is circular. This is because the circular shape facilitates the internal transport of mustard greens using wind power, and the circular shape also makes the wind direction smoother.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the air duct body is provided with air duct support columns, and the bottom of the air duct support columns is provided with circular support plates. The air duct support columns are mainly used to support the entire air duct body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Water, salt or mustard greens can be put into the hopper and then conveyed to the next process by the wind. This allows seasonings or water to be added while the mustard greens are being conveyed, which facilitates subsequent pickling; 2. Since the horizontal plate is parallel to the wind direction, the material coming out from the end of the horizontal plate will be conveyed to the next process by the wind. It is difficult for the air inside the air duct to leak out from that end. This allows seasonings or water to be added without affecting the conveying of mustard greens by the air duct, which brings convenience to the production process. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a device for facilitating the feeding and wind-powered transport of vegetables includes a duct body 1 made of aluminum alloy. The surface of the duct body 1 is provided with duct support columns 11, and the bottom of the duct support columns 11 is provided with a circular support plate 12. The position of the circular support plate 12 relative to the duct support columns 11 can be adjusted vertically. The duct support columns 11 mainly support the entire duct body 1. One end of the duct body 1 is connected to an external air outlet, which continuously blows air into the interior of the duct body 1, causing the mustard greens to be transported along the path of the duct body 1 in a suspended state. This method avoids contact between the mustard greens and the device, preventing secondary contamination of the mustard greens by the inner wall of the duct body 1 and effectively preventing mustard greens from leaving residue inside the duct body 1 and producing odors. This process also removes excess moisture from the surface of the mustard greens. The cross-section of the duct body 1 is circular, which facilitates the internal wind-powered transport of mustard greens and allows for smoother airflow guidance.

[0019] In this embodiment, the surface of the air duct body 1 is provided with several feeding hoppers 2. The feeding hoppers 2 can hold water, salt, or mustard greens. The horizontal cross-sectional area of ​​the top of each feeding hopper 2 is larger than that of the bottom. This design primarily guides the material being fed in, facilitating its downward sliding along the interior of the feeding hopper 2. Each feeding hopper 2 has a hopper support column 21 on both sides, and each hopper support column 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide channel 3. Each feeding hopper 2 has a guide channel 3 at its end, extending into the interior of the air duct body 1. Specifically, the guide channel 3 includes a horizontal plate 31 and an inclined plate 32, with one end of the inclined plate 32 connected to the feeding hopper. Inside the bucket 2, one end is connected to a horizontal plate 31. The horizontal plate 31 is parallel to the wind direction of the guide channel 3. The interiors of the horizontal plate 31 and the inclined plate 32 are hollow. The cross-sectional area of ​​the discharge port of the horizontal plate 31 and the inclined plate 32 is smaller than the cross-sectional area inside the guide channel 3. This makes the horizontal plate 31 and the inclined plate 32 have less impact on the wind inside the air duct body 1. Moreover, since the horizontal plate 31 is parallel to the wind direction, the material coming out from the end of the horizontal plate 31 will first be conveyed to the next process with the wind force. Secondly, it is difficult for the wind inside the air duct body 1 to leak out from this end. This allows seasonings or water to be added inside without affecting the conveying of mustard greens by the air duct body 1, which facilitates subsequent pickling.

[0020] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0021] First, one end of the air duct body 1 is connected to the external air outlet. Then, the external air outlet can continuously blow air into the interior of the air duct body 1, causing the mustard greens to be suspended and transported along the path of the air duct body 1. Next, some water, salt, or mustard greens can be put into the lower hopper 2. Since the horizontal plate 31 is parallel to the wind direction, the material coming out from the end of the horizontal plate 31 will first be transported to the next process by the wind force. Secondly, it is difficult for the air inside the air duct body 1 to leak out from this end. This allows seasonings or water to be added inside without affecting the transport of mustard greens by the air duct body 1, which facilitates subsequent pickling.

[0022] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
