DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions in the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the utility model embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0017] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of turnover out-curd machine 100, for the material output in curd pan 5 after preparation, including turnover mechanism 2, scraping mechanism 3 and hopper 4.Thereinto, turnover mechanism 2 receives curd pan 5 and can overturn curd pan 5;Scraping mechanism 3 is arranged to be opposite with the curd pan 5 after turnover and can scrape the material in this curd pan 5;Hopper 4 receives the material scraped by scraping mechanism 3.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2The external structure of the rotating feeder 100 is assembled from a frame 1. A rotating mechanism 2 is located above the frame 1, and a hopper 4 is located below the frame 1. A scraping mechanism 3 is installed on one side surface of the frame 1, with a portion of the scraping mechanism 3 positioned between the rotating mechanism 2 and the hopper 4. To facilitate the easy entry of the feeder disc 5 containing the material to be output into the rotating mechanism 2 above the frame 1, in this embodiment, the feeder disc 5 enters the rotating mechanism 2 from the opposite side surface of the frame 1 where the scraping mechanism 3 is located. To ensure that the material in the feeder disc 5 falls as much as possible into the hopper 4, refer to... Figure 1 The area of ​​the feed inlet 41 at the top of the hopper 4 is preferably the same as the cross-sectional area of ​​the frame 1 and larger than the opening surface area of ​​the curved plate 5.

[0019] The flipping and unloading machine 100 provided in this embodiment uses the flipping mechanism 2 to flip the curved plate 5 to a preset angle, and the opening of the curved plate 5 is tilted towards the ground. At this time, the material in the curved plate 5 will tend to fall into the hopper 4 below the curved plate 5 due to its own gravity. Some materials with weaker adsorption between them and the curved plate 5 may fall directly into the hopper 4, while some materials can be removed from the inside of the curved plate 5 more thoroughly with the help of relatively easy external force.

[0020] To facilitate the scraping mechanism 3's easy insertion into the curved disc 5 and to prevent material falling from the curved disc 5 onto its surface, thus contaminating or damaging it and affecting its continued normal use, in this embodiment, the opening of the flipped curved disc 5 is not vertically downward, but rather tilted downward at a certain angle relative to the direction of gravity. To ensure the flipped curved disc 5 maintains its tilt angle stably, so that when the scraping mechanism 3 extends into the curved disc 5 to scrape off material adhering to its inner surface, the curved disc 5 will not easily change its tilt angle or return to its original upward-facing state under external force, in this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 2 is equipped with a fixing component to secure the curved disc 5. The fixing method is not limited and can be one of various methods such as locking, clamping, or snapping. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the scraping mechanism 3 when scraping the material in the curved disk 5, in this embodiment, the rotation angle of the curved disk 5 is 135°, that is, the scraping mechanism 3 enters the interior of the curved disk 5 vertically at an angle of 45° in the horizontal direction to complete the scraping of the material.

[0021] In this embodiment, the scraping mechanism 3 includes a linear motion mechanism 31 and a scraper head 32. The linear motion mechanism 31 can move in or away from the inverted curved disk 5; the scraper head 32 is connected to the linear motion mechanism 31, and when the linear motion mechanism 31 moves to the position extending into the curved disk 5, the scraper head 32 can rotate to scrape the material. (Reference) Figure 1The scraping head 32 comprises a rotating shaft 322 and a scraper 321 rotating around the rotating shaft 322, and the length of the scraper 321 matches the size of the curved tray 5. Referring to Figure 1 The scraping mechanism 3 further comprises a feeding driving device 33 and a scraper driving device 34. After the curved tray 5 is placed on the overturning mechanism 2 and overturned 135° by the overturning mechanism 2 towards the side of the scraping mechanism 3, the curved tray 5 is fixed with the overturning mechanism 2, and the movable direction of the linear motion mechanism 31 is perpendicular to the opening plane of the curved tray 5. Then the feeding driving device 33 is operated to drive the linear motion mechanism 31 to extend into the overturned curved tray 5 until the scraper 321 arranged at the end of the scraping head 32 connected with the end of the linear motion mechanism 31 abuts against the material in the curved tray 5, and the end of the rotating shaft 322 substantially coincides with the center position of the curved tray 5. Then the scraper driving device 34 is started to rotate the scraper 321 around the rotating shaft 322, so that the material is gradually scraped from the inside of the curved tray 5 to the hopper 4 below the curved tray 5. In order to enable the scraper 321 to completely scrape the material from the inside of the curved tray 5, in the embodiment, the inside of the curved tray 5 is circular, and the length of the scraper 321 towards the side of the curved tray 5 is close to the radius of the circular curved tray 5. As the material is continuously scraped from the inside of the curved tray 5 by the scraper 321, the overturning-out machine 100 continuously pushes the scraper 321 into the inside of the curved tray 5 by the feeding driving device 33 until the scraper 321 completely abuts against the inside surface of the curved tray 5, which means that the material in the curved tray 5 is completely scraped.

[0022] In the embodiment, the hopper 4 is provided below with a material output port 42, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to enable the material falling into the hopper 4 to be more concentratedly collected and transferred to other processes or devices, the opening of the material output port 42 below the hopper 4 is small. However, part of the material falling into the hopper 4 cannot be completely broken by the scraper 321, so it still remains in large blocks, which are difficult to transfer outside the hopper 4 through the material output port 42 below the hopper 4. Therefore, in the embodiment, the hopper 4 is provided on the side away from the overturning mechanism 2 with a breaking mechanism (not shown in the figure) for breaking the large blocks of material.

[0023] In order to enable the broken material to be directly used in the fermentation step in the brewing production, in the embodiment, a screen (not shown in the figure) is further arranged between the breaking mechanism in the hopper 4 and the material output port 42. After the material in the hopper 4 is broken by the breaking mechanism, the material will pass through the screen and then be transferred to other devices or next processes outside the hopper 4 through the material output port 42. In the embodiment, in order to enable the material to be further quantitatively transferred, referring to Figure 1The quantitative screw 43 is arranged below the material output port 42 and is used for receiving the material discharged from the material output port 42 and transferring the material to other equipment or next process in a quantitative conveying mode.

[0024] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
