Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hesperidin processing technology, and in particular to a foreign matter detection and removal device for finished hesperidin products before packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Hesperidin is a natural flavonoid compound widely found in the peel of citrus fruits (such as oranges, lemons, and grapefruits). It is present in the peel, pulp, and leaves of citrus plants, especially in higher concentrations in dried tangerine peel (chenpi). In both traditional Chinese medicine theory and modern research, hesperidin has demonstrated various pharmacological effects. Dried tangerine peel is a commonly used medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine, entering the spleen and lung meridians, and possessing the effects of regulating qi, strengthening the spleen, and resolving dampness and phlegm. It is one of the important active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine.

[0003] To increase the production output of hesperidin, most factories have introduced automated equipment for the automated production of various Chinese medicinal materials. After production, hesperidin needs to be packaged in individual bags. During the processing of hesperidin, foreign matter can easily be mixed into the product, necessitating foreign matter detection before packaging. X-ray foreign matter detectors are currently a commonly used instrument for detecting foreign matter, capable of detecting the internal quality of the Chinese medicinal materials and identifying any foreign matter within them, displaying images of the inspected items on a computer.

[0004] Hesperidin is usually packaged in powder form and transported in a closed pipeline. When foreign objects are detected in the product on the hesperidin packaging production line, the equipment will alarm. The equipment can only be restarted after the foreign objects are cleaned by the staff, which affects the production and processing efficiency of hesperidin. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a foreign matter detection and removal device for hesperidin products before packaging.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A foreign matter detection and removal device for hesperidin finished product packaging is provided, including a conveying channel, in which materials are conveyed by negative pressure suction. A foreign matter detector is installed at the top of the conveying channel, and a filter assembly is installed downstream of the foreign matter detector. The filter assembly includes a filter channel, and a movable cylinder is slidably arranged radially along the conveying channel inside the filter channel. The movable cylinder includes a partition and filter cylinders coaxially rotatably arranged on both sides of the partition. Filter elements are installed on the filter cylinders. A first driving member is provided on the conveying channel to drive the movable cylinder to move so that the two filter elements alternately enter and align with the conveying channel. A collection assembly is provided on the filter channel to collect impurities filtered out by the filter elements.

[0008] Furthermore, the driving component includes a first electric push rod, an operation channel is provided on the side wall of the filter channel, a connecting plate adapted to the operation channel is fixedly provided on the side edge of the partition, the first electric push rod is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the filter channel, and the output rod of the first electric push rod extends into the operation channel and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the collection component includes a drive motor, and drive motors are fixedly installed at both ends of the filter channel. The two drive motors are used to drive the two filter cartridges to rotate. Collection channels are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the filter cartridges, and collection cartridges are detachably connected to the bottom of the collection channels.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide sleeve is coaxially fixed at the end of the filter cartridge away from the partition, and a guide rod is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The guide rod and the guide sleeve are slidably connected together.

[0011] Furthermore, the collection channel is equipped with an electronic valve to restrict the opening and closing of the collection channel.

[0012] Furthermore, a pulse airflow nozzle is installed on the outer wall of the filtration channel, with the pulse airflow nozzle facing the collection channel.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During the conveying process of hesperidin powder in the conveying channel, impurities in the powder are intercepted by the filter element when passing through the filtration channel. When the foreign object detector detects that impurities are passing through the upstream of the filtration channel, it delays the control of the first electric push rod to push the filter cylinder to move, switching the filter element aligned with the conveying channel. The other filter element moves from below the conveying channel to the collection channel. The drive motor drives the filter element to flip, and then a pulse airflow blows a pulse airflow onto the filter, which blows the impurities from the filter element into the collection channel. This does not affect the normal transport of the powder in the conveying channel and maintains the production and processing efficiency of hesperidin. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] This application discloses a foreign matter detection and removal device for hesperidin products before packaging, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The system includes a conveying channel 1, within which materials are conveyed by negative pressure suction. A foreign object detector 2 and a filter assembly are sequentially arranged along the material conveying direction on the upper part of the conveying channel 1. The foreign object detector 2 is used to detect powder passing through the conveying channel 1. The filter assembly includes a filter channel 3, which has a cylindrical cross-section. The axis of the filter channel 3 passes through the axis of the conveying channel 1 and is perpendicular to it. A movable cylinder 4 is slidably arranged radially along the conveying channel 1 within the filter channel 3. The movable cylinder 4 includes a frame, a partition plate 41, and filter cylinders 42 coaxially rotatably arranged on both sides of the partition plate 41. The partition plate 41 is fixed in the middle of the frame, which is openwork. The filter cylinders 42 are rotatably installed inside the movable cylinder 4, with both ends of the filter cylinder 42 rotatably connected to the frame and the partition plate 41, respectively. The filter cylinder 42 is hollowed out and a filter element 43 is provided on the filter cylinder 42. The filter element 43 is a filter plate. The filter plate is coplanar with the axis of the filter cylinder 42. The filter cylinder 42 is divided into upper and lower layers by the filter plate. When the filter cylinder 42 is aligned with the conveying channel 1, the filter cylinder 42 is rotated to be perpendicular to the axis of the conveying channel 1, and the material passes through the filter plate accurately.

[0020] The conveying channel 1 is equipped with a first driving member for moving the movable cylinder 4 so that the two filter elements 43 alternately enter and align with the conveying channel 1. Specifically, the driving member can be a first electric push rod 44. The side wall of the filter channel 3 is provided with an operating channel 31. The side edge of the partition 41 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 45 adapted to the operating channel 31. The first electric push rod 44 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the filter channel 3. The output rod of the first electric push rod 44 extends into the operating channel 31 from one end face and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 45, thereby maintaining a seal on the inside of the filter cylinder 42.

[0021] The filter channel 3 is equipped with a collection assembly for collecting impurities filtered out by the filter element 43. Specifically, the collection assembly may include a drive motor 51. Two drive motors 51 are fixedly installed at both ends of the filter channel 3, and each drive motor 51 drives the two filter cylinders 42 to rotate. Collection channels 61 are fixedly installed at the bottom of both ends of the filter cylinders, and collection containers 62 are detachably connected to the bottom of the collection channels 61. By driving the filter cylinders 42 to rotate via the drive motors 51, the filter plates can be flipped, thereby pouring the impurities into the collection containers 62 below. This allows for the filtration of impurities in the hesperidin powder without stopping the equipment.

[0022] In this embodiment, a guide sleeve 46 is coaxially fixed at the end of the filter cylinder 42 away from the partition plate 41. A guide rod 52 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 51, and the guide rod 52 and the guide sleeve 46 are slidably connected. When the movable cylinder 4 moves laterally within the filter channel 3, the guide rod 52 and the guide sleeve 46 on the filter cylinder 42 cooperate with each other, allowing the movable cylinder 4 to move freely while maintaining the connection between the guide rod 52 and the guide sleeve 46.

[0023] In this embodiment of the application, the collection bucket 62 is threaded to the bottom end of the collection channel 61. The collection channel 61 is provided with an electronic valve 7 for restricting the opening and closing of the collection channel 61. When it is necessary to clean the impurities in the collection bucket 62, the collection channel 61 can be effectively closed by closing the electronic valve 7, and then the impurities in the collection bucket 62 can be cleaned.

[0024] Furthermore, a pulse airflow nozzle 8 is provided on the outer wall of the filter channel 3. The pulse airflow nozzle 8 faces the collection channel 61. Whenever the movable cylinder 4 slides above the collection channel 61 and the filter cylinder 42 flips, the pulse airflow nozzle 8 is activated, which can effectively blow the impurities on the filter plate into the collection channel 61.

[0025] In this embodiment, the foreign object detector 2 is equipped with a control module. The control module is electrically connected to the first electric push rod 44, the two drive motors 51, and the pulse airflow generator connected to the two pulse airflow nozzles 8 on the filter channel 3. Through the control module, after the foreign object detector 2 detects impurities, the first electric push rod 44 can be delayed and controlled to move, and the drive motors 51 can drive the filter cylinder 42 to rotate.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention. Clearly, those skilled in the art can make various alterations and modifications to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Thus, if these modifications and modifications of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention also intends to include these modifications and modifications.
