Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lotus seed processing technology, and in particular to a lotus seed feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] A quantitative feeding device for lotus seed processing equipment, disclosed in Chinese patent document CN221318399U, includes a square shell and a support plate. The support plate is fixedly connected to the middle of the front side of the square shell. A second motor is bolted to the top of the support plate. The output shaft of the second motor passes through the square shell and extends into the inner cavity of the square shell. A rotating block is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the rotating block. Measuring cups are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the rotating plate. A weighing sensor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate. During quantitative feeding of lotus seeds, a rotary valve can control the start and stop of quantitative feeding of lotus seeds. The measuring cups measure the quantity of lotus seeds, and the weighing sensor weighs the lotus seeds. This allows for accurate measurement of the volume and weight of lotus seeds during quantitative processing.
[0003] The aforementioned quantitative feeding device for lotus seed processing equipment has the following drawbacks: when lotus seeds are stored in the storage hopper, due to factors such as friction between lotus seed particles, irregular shape, and possible humidity, the lotus seeds may cross and become suspended above the discharge port, forming a bridge-like structure. This can cause the discharge port to be blocked or the lotus seeds to flow out of the storage hopper smoothly, prolonging the processing time and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

The height of the feeding shell 3 is then adjusted to match that of other processing equipment, allowing the lotus seeds to be poured into the feeding hopper 5. Then, the start motor 601 is activated. The output shaft of motor 601 rotates, driving the rotating rod 602 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 602 drives the spiral blade 603 to rotate, thus moving the lotus seeds... The lotus seeds are fed into the feed cylinder 14 evenly and stably by the spiral blade 603. When the rotating rod 602 rotates, it drives a set of pulleys 9 to rotate. Through the action of the belt 10, it drives another set of pulleys 9 to rotate. The rotation of the other set of pulleys 9 drives a set of bevel gears 11 to rotate. The two sets of bevel gears 11 mesh. The rotation of the other set of bevel gears 11 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral blade 13 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade 13 drives the lotus seeds to move towards the other side of the feed housing 3 and discharge them through the circular opening on the other side of the feed housing 3.
