Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing measurement technology, and in particular to a measurement and sorting device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food processing refers to the process of transforming raw grains or other food ingredients into nutritious, hygienic, safe, and visually appealing foods that are suitable for human consumption. This process encompasses multiple stages, from the selection of raw materials to the packaging of the final product. Metering and sorting in food processing are of great significance for ensuring product quality, improving production efficiency, guaranteeing food safety, and meeting market demands.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN211055508U discloses a food processing metering and separating device. This device addresses the shortcomings of existing food processing metering devices, which rely on manual feeding and are prone to errors due to improper operation, affecting measurement results. Furthermore, these devices lack flexibility as they cannot be adjusted to the required volume. Therefore, by pushing a fixed plate, a baffle slides through a groove into the feed inlet, sealing the inlet and preventing debris from falling into the feeding channel and affecting the metering effect. A rotating shaft drives a spiral plate to rotate, evenly delivering the food ingredients to the outlet, avoiding errors from manual feeding, increasing the accuracy of the material entering the metering cup, and improving the overall metering precision.

[0004] The aforementioned metering and separating device is convenient for improving the accuracy of measurement. However, after the food is measured using the measuring cup, when it is necessary to remove the food, the measuring cup needs to be removed from the device, the food poured out, and then the measuring cup needs to be fixed back on the device. This is quite troublesome, reduces the efficiency of removing food, and increases the workload of the operator. Utility Model Content

[0033] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a chute 9, which is formed on the inner wall of the metering barrel 8. A connecting groove 10 is formed on one side of the metering barrel 8. A lifting plate 11 is slidably connected inside the metering barrel 8. Connecting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lifting plate 11. One connecting block 12 is slidably connected inside the chute 9, and the other connecting block 12 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 10. A rack 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the other connecting block 12. A fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the metering barrel 8. A gear 15 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixing plate 14. The gear 15 and the rack 13 are meshed. A handle 16 is fixedly connected to the middle of the gear 15. The chute 9 facilitates the sliding of one of the connecting blocks 12. The lifting plate 11 facilitates the lifting of the material inside the metering barrel 8. The rack 13 is raised under the rotation of the gear 15, thereby driving the lifting plate 11 to rise under the connection of the other connecting block 12.

[0034] As attached Figure 4 As shown, a fixing block 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the throttle 16, and a bolt 18 is threaded inside the fixing block 17 to lock the throttle 16.

[0035] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 1. A push plate 20 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 19. A feeding pipe 21 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting pipe 5. A disassembly assembly is provided on the outside of the feeding pipe 21. The disassembly assembly includes two limiting plates 22. The two limiting plates 22 are fixedly connected to the outside of the feeding pipe 21. The push plate 20 facilitates pushing the material that has been lifted by the lifting plate 11 to discharge it. The limiting plates 22 facilitate limiting the feeding pipe 21.

[0036] As attached Figure 5 As shown, one of the limiting plates 22 has two mounting slots 23 on one side for fixing the shell 24 and facilitating the passage of the limiting block 26.

[0037] As attached Figure 7 As shown, two limiting grooves 30 are provided on one side of the delivery tube 21 to facilitate the engagement of the limiting block 26.

[0038] As attached Figure 6 As shown, a fixed shell 24 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 23. Multiple connecting rods 25 are slidably connected to one side of the fixed shell 24. A limit block 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the multiple connecting rods 25. Multiple springs 27 are fixedly connected to one side of the limit block 26. The springs 27 are sleeved on the outside of the connecting rods 25. A combination plate 28 is fixedly connected to the other end of the multiple connecting rods 25. A pull handle 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the two combination plates 28. The limit block 26 limits the delivery tube 21. The springs 27 push the limit block 26 when it is inserted into the limit groove 30.

[0039] Working principle: When measuring food materials, the food materials are first put into the feeding pipe 21. The motor 3 is turned on, and its output end drives the auger 4 to rotate, thereby conveying the material to the discharge pipe 6 and falling into the measuring barrel 8. Then, the measuring device 7 is used to measure the material. When it is necessary to remove the food materials from the measuring barrel 8, the collection frame that catches the food is placed on one side of the measuring barrel 8. The handle 16 is turned, which drives the gear 15 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear 15 and the rack 13, the rack 13 is moved. The rack 13 drives the corresponding connecting block 12 to slide inside the connecting groove 10, thereby causing the lifting plate 11 to rise inside the metering barrel 8, thus lifting the material inside the metering barrel 8 to the upper surface of the metering barrel 8. Then, the bolt 18 is tightened, and one end of the bolt 18 abuts against one side of the fixing plate 14 to fix the fixing block 17, thereby locking the handle 16. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 19 is opened, and its output end drives the push plate 20 to move, so that the push plate 20 pushes the raised material into the inside of the collection frame, thereby completing the material retrieval.

[0040] When the dispensing tube 21 becomes dirty after prolonged use and needs to be disassembled, pull the handle 29 to pull the two combination plates 28. Under the connection of the connecting rod 25, the limiting block 26 is disengaged from the inside of the limiting groove 30, so that the dispensing tube 21 is released from the limit. Then move the dispensing tube 21 upward so that it moves out of the inside of the two limiting plates 22, so that the dispensing tube 21 can be taken out. The above operation is reversed during installation, which helps to maintain the dispensing tube 21 in a timely manner.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
