Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pepper processing, and in particular to a draining device for washing pepper. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production processes, if the surface of peppercorns is relatively damp, not only can Aspergillus flavus grow on the damp peppercorns and produce aflatoxin, but moisture can also accelerate the chemical reactions of the internal components of the peppercorns. Therefore, existing technologies have designed corresponding dewatering devices, such as centrifugal dewatering machines, vacuum dewatering devices, and belt dewatering machines, to remove most of the moisture from the surface of the peppercorns and prepare them for the next step of the peppercorn drying process.
[0003] For the more common belt dewatering devices, the fan is usually installed at the top to generate airflow vertically downwards. However, due to long-term transportation use, not only is the belt structure prone to displacement, but the peppercorns on the conveyor belt surface are usually in a stationary state, especially those that are piled up. Not only are they not dispersed on the conveyor belt, but the internal moisture cannot be carried away by the vertical downward airflow. As a result, the moisture content of the peppercorns is still too high, and the next step of the dryer needs to increase the temperature to evaporate the moisture on the surface of the peppercorns.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, a draining device for washing peppercorns is provided. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a draining device for washing peppercorns, mainly to solve the problem of low draining efficiency of peppercorns on belt draining devices.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model relates to a draining device for washing peppercorns, comprising a side plate and support legs. The support legs are frame-type structures installed at the bottom of the side plate. A conveyor belt with a mesh structure is installed on the inner side of the side plate. A connecting ring is provided at the front end of the side plate, and a bearing seat is installed on the inner side of the connecting ring. The bearing seat is used to extend the length of the conveyor belt. The edge of the conveyor belt includes a connecting edge. The side plate is provided with: an electronic control component, the surface of which is provided with an air duct extending to the upper side of the conveyor belt, and the electronic control component is used to provide airflow to the conveyor belt; an upper clamping member and a lower clamping member, which are used to clamp the connecting edge, wherein an electromagnetic push rod is installed on the upper surface of the upper clamping member; and a collection plate located below the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, a top cover is installed at the top of the side plate, and the top cover is equipped with a camera, an electric heating lamp and a main control unit, wherein the electric heating lamp is used to heat the surface of the conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, the conveyor belt is inclined toward the bearing seat, the connecting ring and the side plate are fixedly connected, and the inclination direction of the collecting plate and the conveyor belt is opposite.
[0010] Preferably, the upper clamping member and the lower clamping member are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the side plate. Both the upper clamping member and the lower clamping member are C-shaped structures. The upper clamping member and the electromagnetic push rod are fixedly connected, and a gap is left between the bottom of the upper clamping member and the connecting edge.
[0011] Preferably, the conveyor belt is made of stainless steel mesh material, and the connecting edge is a stainless steel hinge structure.
[0012] Preferably, the electronic control components are installed at equal intervals on the side plate, and the electronic control components are respectively connected to the main control unit and the electromagnetic push rod, and the electronic control components include a fan pump inside.
[0013] Preferably, the main control unit includes an MCU microcontroller chip, a storage hard disk, and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of the electric heating lamp, which faces the surface of the conveyor belt, and the camera faces the electromagnetic push rod.
[0014] Preferably, the number of electromagnetic push rods is at least two, and they are installed symmetrically.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This invention incorporates a wind direction structure and a clamping device with an electromagnetic push rod that provides vibration. When the conveyor belt is running, it not only reduces the height of the peppercorn pile laterally, but the vibration frequency of the conveyor belt also disperses the peppercorns on the belt, increasing the drainage efficiency of water droplets during the transportation process.
[0017] This utility model further incorporates a top cover structure. The heating module of the top cover structure preheats the conveyor belt, allowing the moisture on the surface of the peppercorns to be preheated after draining, thus reducing the heating load on the next drying machine. Furthermore, the camera can monitor the corresponding push of the connecting edge and the electromagnetic push rod, thereby increasing the vibration frequency of the conveyor belt while maintaining its service life.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0026] In the attached diagram, all identical reference numerals refer to the same components.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] This utility model provides a draining device for washing peppercorns, including a side plate 1 and a support leg 2. The support leg 2 is a frame structure installed at the bottom of the side plate 1. A conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the side plate 1. The conveyor belt 3 has a grid structure, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The conveyor belt 3 structure is mounted via rollers and bearings at both ends, and its middle section is spliced together with multiple segmented grid-like structures. Under normal use, such as... Figure 5 As shown, based on the driving components at both ends, such as the drive motor and the synchronous belt, the rollers at both ends of the conveyor belt 3 are driven, so that the conveyor belt 3 can be cyclically operated.
[0029] Furthermore, a connecting ring 4 is provided at the front end of the side plate 1, and a bearing seat 401 is installed on the inner side of the connecting ring 4. The bearing seat 401 is used to extend the length of the conveyor belt 3. The edge of the conveyor belt 3 includes a connecting edge 301. The side plate 1 is provided with: an electrical control component 5, on the surface of which is provided an air duct 501, extending to the upper side of the conveyor belt 3. The electrical control component 5 is used to provide airflow to the conveyor belt 3; an upper clamping member 6 and a lower clamping member 601, which are used to clamp the connecting edge 301. An electromagnetic push rod 602 is installed on the upper surface of the upper clamping member 6; and a collecting plate 7, which is located on the lower side of the conveyor belt 3. The connecting ring 4 is mainly used to extend the bearing seat 401 to the outer side of the side plate 1, so that the feed inlet can be connected to the cleaning equipment. The peppercorns from the cleaning equipment can be directly poured into the conveyor belt. In the conveyor belt 3, the air duct 501 of the side plate 1, being a transverse airflow, continuously blows down the piled peppercorns, flattening them until water droplets fall from the surface of the peppercorns onto the collection plate 7. The designed upper clamp 6 and lower clamp 601 fix the connecting edge 301 of the conveyor belt 3 on the side, keeping the connecting edge 301 fixed to the original travel route in a straight line. At the same time, an electromagnetic push rod 602 is installed on the upper clamp 6. The action of the electromagnetic push rod 602 pushes the connecting edge 301, causing the connecting edge 301 to bend. The conveyor belt 3 itself will then vibrate to a certain extent, causing the peppercorns to separate from each other. The side air duct 501 will also blow the peppercorns near the edge back to the middle of the conveyor belt 3, so that after the peppercorn pile is evenly flattened, the water on the surface of the peppercorns will continuously fall off due to vibration.
[0030] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 3 is inclined towards the bearing housing 401, the connecting ring 4 and the side plate 1 are fixedly connected, and the inclination direction of the collecting plate 7 is opposite to that of the conveyor belt 3; as Figure 5 As shown, the peppercorns are tilted mainly to the left due to gravity, allowing water to flow along the tilt angle and fall into the mesh holes of the conveyor belt 3. The collection plate 7 is tilted to the other side to create a concentrated collection effect. For example, a water tank is placed at the right support leg 2 to separate the collection of peppercorns and water.
[0031] Furthermore, the upper clamping member 6 and the lower clamping member 601 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the side plate 1. Both the upper clamping member 6 and the lower clamping member 601 are C-shaped structures. The upper clamping member 6 and the electromagnetic push rod 602 are fixedly connected, and a gap is left between the bottom of the upper clamping member 6 and the connecting edge 301. The C-shaped upper clamping member 6 and the lower clamping member 601 can better limit the connecting edge 301. At the same time, in order to make the vibration amplitude of the conveyor belt 3 greater, a gap is left between the bottom of the clamping member 6 and the connecting edge 301. When the electromagnetic push rod 602 is pressed down, a certain amount of stroke can be reserved, so that the connecting edge 301 is not easily deformed, while also increasing the vibration amplitude.
[0032] The conveyor belt 3 is made of stainless steel metal mesh material, the connecting edge 301 is a stainless steel hinge structure, and there are at least two electromagnetic push rods 602, which are installed symmetrically.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: pepper grains for cleaning equipment can be directly installed on the conveyor belt 3 extending to the bearing seat 401. When the pepper grains piled on the conveyor belt 3 pass through the electronic control component 5, the electronic control component 5 uses the air pump to continuously blow horizontal airflow from the air duct 501, which will reduce the height of the pepper grain pile. At the same time, the electromagnetic push rod 602 at the upper clamping part 6 at the bottom of the air duct 501 will move, causing the connecting edge 301 to vibrate. When both the left and right connecting edges 301 move, the center of the conveyor belt 3 will also vibrate slightly until the pepper grains are evenly dispersed on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, and the water on the surface of the pepper grains will continuously fall to the collection plate 7 due to the shaking. Finally, the pepper grains enter the next process again from the left, and the water flows along the collection plate 7 to the right for centralized treatment.
[0034] Since the connecting edges 301 on both sides are vibrated first, the peppercorns will continuously move towards the area with a larger vibration amplitude, resulting in the peppercorns moving to the edge of the conveyor belt 3. At this time, the air duct 501, being a transverse airflow, will blow some smaller and lighter peppercorns back to the center of the conveyor belt 3 to ensure the continuous operation of the conveyor belt.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] The difference from Example 1 is that, as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 5, a top cover 8 is installed on the top of the side plate 1. The top cover 8 is equipped with a camera 801, an electric heating lamp 802 and a main control unit 803. The electric heating lamp 802 is used to heat the surface of the conveyor belt 3.
[0037] The electronic control component 5 is installed at equal intervals on the side plate 1, and the electronic control component 5 is connected to the main control unit and the electromagnetic push rod 602 respectively. The electronic control component 5 includes a fan pump.
[0038] The main control unit includes an MCU microcontroller chip, a storage hard disk, and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature of the electric heating lamp 802, which faces the surface of the conveyor belt 3, and the camera 801 faces the electromagnetic push rod 602.
[0039] Specifically, because the airflow and vibration cause a lot of moisture to drain from the peppercorns, an electric heating lamp 802 is then installed on the top cover 8 so that the electric heating lamp 802 can continuously preheat the peppercorns, making it easier for the peppercorns to heat up and dry when they enter the dryer.
[0040] Meanwhile, due to the long-term operation of the electromagnetic push rod 602, damage may occur to the crossbar of the connecting edge 301. Therefore, a camera 801 is further installed at the top cover 8. The camera 801 positions the electromagnetic push rod 602 installed on the upper clamping member 6. When the axial structure of the connecting ring 4 corresponds vertically to the electromagnetic push rod 602, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the electromagnetic push rod 602 pushes the axial structure downwards. Since the axial structure itself is a movable structure, it can bend significantly at the rollers at both ends of the conveyor belt 3. Therefore, it can increase the vibration amplitude of the conveyor belt 3 while minimizing collision damage.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
