Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of candied fruit production equipment, and in particular to a cooling and conveying device for plum processing. Background Technology

[0002] Prunes require high-temperature drying during production. Both high temperature and moisture affect drying and can cause them to stick together, thus affecting the quality of the produced prunes. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where high temperatures and moisture easily cause adhesion, and provides a cooling and conveying device for plum processing that can reduce moisture and rapidly cool down to reduce adhesion.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A cooling conveying device for plum processing includes:

[0006] The conveyor is located to the left of the cooling transport unit;

[0007] A rotating motor is placed on the side of the conveyor, and the conveyor rotates via the rotating motor.

[0008] The cooling pipe is located on the lower right side of the conveyor, with the left side higher than the right side;

[0009] The material collection frame is located below the right end outlet of the cooling pipe;

[0010] The cooling fan is positioned above the cooling pipes;

[0011] Several ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the cooling pipes.

[0012] When in use, turn on the rotating motor to allow the conveyor to transport the freshly blanched plums into the cooling pipe. As the plums fall into the cooling pipe, the cooling fan blows air into the cooling pipe from above through the ventilation holes. The plums can be cooled down quickly, and excess water can be drained out through the ventilation holes. As the plums fall, they continuously come into contact with the cooling pipe wall, which can break up any sticky plums. Finally, they enter the collection frame and are collected, achieving the purpose of reducing moisture and rapid cooling, thereby reducing sticking.

[0013] Preferably, the conveyor includes a rotating track, rotating drums, and a first support frame. There are two rotating drums, each housed within the rotating track. The inner surface of the rotating track contacts the outer surface of the rotating drums. There are two first supports, each corresponding to one of the rotating drums, and the first support frame is connected to the rotating drums. The rotating shaft of a first rotating motor is connected to the central shaft of one of the rotating drums. The rotating drums support the rotating track and are driven to rotate by the first rotating motor.

[0014] Preferably, the cooling pipe contains a rotating rod, on which a second rotating motor and a spiral strip are mounted. The lower end of the rotating rod is connected to the rotating shaft of the second rotating motor. The spiral strip is spirally wound around the rotating rod, with its inner surface fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, and its outer surface in contact with the inner surface of the cooling pipe. The spiral strip helps the plums fall more slowly, resulting in a larger cooling surface area.

[0015] Preferably, a second bracket is provided on the lower end of the rotating rod, and the upper end of the second bracket surrounds the rotating rod. A third bracket is provided on the lower end face of the cooling pipe, the upper cross-section of the third bracket corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the cooling pipe, and the upper end face of the third bracket contacting the lower end face of the cooling pipe. The second and third brackets provide support for the cooling pipe and the rotating rod, allowing the material collection frame to be placed.

[0016] Preferably, a scraper is provided on the outer surface of the spiral strip, the scraper corresponding in length to the outer surface of the spiral strip, the inner surface of the scraper being fixedly connected to the outer surface of the spiral strip, and the outer surface of the scraper contacting the inner surface of the cooling pipe. The scraper ensures that the cooling pipe wall is not damaged and that plums do not get stuck in the gap between the spiral strip and the cooling pipe.

[0017] Preferably, the lower end face of the left end of the cooling pipe has a sloping cross-section. The sloping left end of the cooling pipe facilitates the plums falling into the collection frame.

[0018] Preferably, the upper cross-sectional shape of the right end of the cooling pipe is inclined. The inclined surface at the right end of the cooling pipe facilitates the entry of plums from the conveyor into the cooling pipe.

[0019] Preferably, the lower ends of bracket two and bracket three are placed on the same plane, with bracket two being shorter than bracket three. The lengths of bracket two and bracket three can accommodate the placement of the cooling pipe with the left side higher than the right, making it easier for the plums to fall.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: reducing moisture and rapidly cooling to reduce adhesion; the rotating drum supports the rotating track and is driven by a rotating motor; the spiral strip helps the plums fall more slowly, resulting in a larger cooling surface area; brackets two and three provide support for the cooling pipe and rotating rod, allowing the collection frame to be placed; the scraper does not damage the cooling pipe wall and ensures that the plums do not get stuck in the gap between the spiral strip and the cooling pipe; the left end of the cooling pipe has a slope to facilitate the plums falling into the collection frame; the right end of the cooling pipe has a slope to facilitate the plums on the conveyor to enter the cooling pipe; the lengths of brackets two and three can adapt to the left-high-right-low placement of the cooling pipe, making it easier for the plums to fall.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, a cooling conveying device for plum processing includes:

[0027] The conveyor is located to the left of the cooling transport unit;

[0028] Rotary motor 1 is placed on the side of the conveyor, and the conveyor rotates via rotary motor 1;

[0029] Cooling pipe 2 is located on the lower right side of the conveyor, with the left side higher than the right side;

[0030] The material collection frame 3 is located below the right end outlet of the cooling pipe 2;

[0031] Cooling fan 4 is positioned above cooling pipe 2;

[0032] Several ventilation holes 5 are evenly distributed on the cooling pipe 2.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor includes a rotating track 6, a rotating drum 7, and a support 8. There are two rotating drums 7, both of which are placed inside the rotating track 6. The inner side of the rotating track 6 is in contact with the outer side of the rotating drum 7. There are two supports 8, each corresponding to one of the rotating drums 7. The supports 8 are connected to the rotating drums 7. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor 1 is connected to the central shaft of one of the rotating drums 7.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, a rotating rod 9 is provided inside the cooling pipe 2. A rotating motor 10 and a spiral strip 11 are provided on the rotating rod 9. The lower end of the rotating rod 9 is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 10. The spiral strip 11 is spirally wrapped around the rotating rod 9. The inner side of the spiral strip 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 9. The outer side of the spiral strip 11 is in contact with the inner side of the cooling pipe 2.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second bracket 12 is provided on the lower end of the rotating rod 9, and the upper end of the second bracket 12 surrounds the rotating rod 9. A third bracket 13 is provided on the lower end face of the cooling pipe 2. The upper end cross-section of the third bracket 13 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the cooling pipe 2, and the upper end face of the third bracket 13 is in contact with the lower end face of the cooling pipe 2.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a scraper 14 is provided on the outer side of the spiral strip 11. The scraper 14 corresponds to the length of the outer side of the spiral strip 11. The inner side of the scraper 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spiral strip 11. The outer side of the scraper 14 is in contact with the inner side of the cooling pipe 2.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower end face of the left end of the cooling pipe 2 has a sloping cross-section.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the upper end face of the right end of the cooling pipe 2 is inclined.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower ends of bracket 2 12 and bracket 3 13 are placed on the same plane, and bracket 2 12 is shorter than the height of bracket 3 13.

[0040] During installation, the cooling pipe 2 is supported by brackets 12 and 13 in a left-high-right-low configuration, with bracket 8 higher than the cooling pipe 2. This allows the plums on the rotating conveyor belt 6 to fall accurately into the cooling pipe 2. The cooling pipe 2 needs to be placed below the cooling fan 4, with the collection box positioned below the right end of the cooling pipe 2. During use, turn on the rotating motor 1 to drive the rotating drum 7 to transport the freshly blanched plums to the cooling pipe 2. As the plums fall into the cooling pipe 2, turn on the rotating motor 10 to drive the rotating rod 9 to drive the spiral strip 11, causing the plums to disperse and fall slowly. Meanwhile, the cooling fan 4 blows air into the cooling pipe 2 through the ventilation holes 5 from above. This allows the plums to cool down quickly and drain excess moisture from the ventilation holes 5. As the plums fall, they continuously contact the wall of the cooling pipe 2, and the scraper 14 ensures that no plums get stuck inside the cooling pipe 2. Finally, they are collected in the collection box 3, achieving the purpose of reducing moisture and rapid cooling, thereby reducing adhesion.
