Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crushing device technology, specifically a crushing device for chili sauce production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of chili sauce, the crushing step is crucial. After the chili raw materials are harvested and undergo preliminary pre-treatment such as washing and screening, in order to fully release the various flavor substances in the chilies and facilitate even mixing with other ingredients to form a delicate and flavorful sauce, they need to be crushed into particles of appropriate size using specialized crushing equipment. The appropriate degree of crushing not only preserves the color, aroma, and spiciness of the chilies, but also allows the chili sauce to maintain good texture and flavor stability during storage and consumption, making it one of the key factors determining the quality of chili sauce.

[0003] Currently, many chili sauce production processes still rely heavily on manual crushing. This traditional method has numerous drawbacks. From an efficiency perspective, manual operation is slow, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. This leads to longer production cycles, limited capacity, and an inability to cope with rapid market demand. In terms of quality control, the force and uniformity of manual crushing are highly inconsistent, easily resulting in some chilies being over-crushed while others retain larger particles. This leads to inconsistent taste in the chili sauce, affecting the consumer's eating experience. Furthermore, manual operation is easily affected by factors such as personal emotions and fatigue, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of product quality across batches. Therefore, we propose a crushing device for chili sauce production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a crushing device for chili sauce production, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that many chili sauce productions in the current market still rely on manual crushing. This traditional method has many drawbacks. From an efficiency perspective, manual operation is slow and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production, resulting in extended production cycles, limited capacity, and difficulty in coping with the rapid supply of the market. In terms of quality control, the force and uniformity of manual crushing are extremely unstable, and some chilies are easily over-crushed while others still retain large particles, resulting in inconsistent taste of chili sauce and affecting the consumer's eating experience. Moreover, manual operation is easily affected by factors such as personal emotions and fatigue, making it difficult to ensure the quality stability of each batch of products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a crushing device for chili sauce production, comprising a top plate, side plates fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the top plate, a material box disposed at the center of the lower end of the top plate, a sieve plate fixedly installed near the top of the material box, a cylinder fixedly installed at the center of the top of the top plate, a hollow plate disposed near the top between the two side plates, a reciprocating screw disposed at the center of the hollow plate, a motor fixedly installed on one side of the top of the hollow plate, and a second [unclear - possibly a device or component] fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the reciprocating screw. The gear has a No. 1 gear meshing with the upper end of one side of the No. 2 gear. A nut plate is threadedly connected to one side of the surface of the reciprocating screw. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bottom center of the hollow plate. A hollow cylinder is provided at the bottom of the hollow plate corresponding to the lower ends of the two connecting rods. A spring is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow cylinder. An elastic block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the spring. An extension rod is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the elastic block. A roller frame is provided at the lower end of the two hollow cylinders. A crushing roller is movably installed at the lower end of the roller frame.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] The crushing device used in chili sauce production, through the design of a material hopper, sieve plate, cylinder, reciprocating screw, motor, first gear, second gear, hollow cylinder, spring, elastic block, extension rod, and crushing roller, utilizes a motor-driven, reciprocating screw transmission to allow the crushing roller to move efficiently and evenly back and forth within the material hopper during crushing. Simultaneously, the cylinder drives the roller to move up and down, crushing the chilies from all directions, achieving a rapid and thorough crushing effect and significantly improving production efficiency. During the crushing process, the spring assembly gives the crushing roller excellent self-adaptive capabilities. When encountering chilies with uneven texture and varying thicknesses, the spring can automatically extend and retract according to pressure changes, allowing the crushing roller to maintain its position. Maintaining a suitable downward pressure effectively crushes harder chilies while avoiding over-crushing softer parts, thus adapting to the diversity and complexity of raw materials. This ensures the uniformity of chili sauce particles and improves product quality. During crushing, the sieve plate plays a crucial grading and screening role, promptly sieving out qualified raw materials and allowing chili particles that meet the size requirements to pass through smoothly. Larger particles that do not meet the requirements remain on the sieve plate for further crushing. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces the workload of subsequent screening processes but also ensures that the final chili sauce has a delicate taste and superior quality, meeting the market's demand for high-quality chili sauce.

A crushing roller 26 is movably installed at the lower end of the roller frame 25.

[0017] A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the material box 3, which facilitates the timely discharge of the crushed chili sauce raw materials in the material box 3, ensuring the continuity of production. Support legs 5 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the material box 3. A movable wheel is installed on the bottom of one side of the support leg 5. A handrail is fixedly installed on the front surface of the material box 3, which facilitates the movement of the material box 3 and makes cleaning and maintenance convenient.

[0018] Two sockets 7 are fixedly connected to the center of each side plate 2, and insert plates 6 are fixedly connected to the center of each side of the material box 3. The opposite ends of the two insert plates 6 are inserted into the inner walls of the two sockets 7 respectively. A pin 8 is provided on the top of the socket 7. The lower end of the pin 8 passes through the outside of the insert plate 6 and the socket 7 in sequence, realizing quick installation and disassembly between the material box 3 and the side plate 2.

[0019] The cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to a piston shaft through its bottom output end. The lower end of the piston shaft extends through to the outside of the top plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the hollow plate 10. Two sliders 18 are fixedly installed at the center of both sides of the hollow plate 10. Two grooves 19 are opened on the top of the opposite side of the two side plates 2. The opposite sides of the two sliders 18 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two grooves 19, which guides and limits the up and down movement of the hollow plate 10, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the movement of the hollow plate 10 and avoiding problems such as uneven crushing or equipment damage caused by movement deviation.

[0020] The two ends of the reciprocating screw 11 are movably connected to bearings fixedly installed at the center of both sides inside the hollow plate 10. The motor 15 is fixedly connected to the main shaft through its bottom output end. The lower end of the main shaft passes through the interior of the hollow plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the first gear 16. The front and rear ends of the nut plate 12 are fixedly installed with a first slider 13. The front and rear ends of the top of the hollow plate 10 are opened with a first groove 14. The upper ends of the two first sliders 13 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two first grooves 14, which ensures the smoothness and stability of the movement of the nut plate 12, ensures the accuracy of the reciprocating motion, and thus improves the crushing quality.

[0021] The top plate 1 has horizontal grooves at both the front and rear ends. The bottom of the two connecting rods 20 passes through the outside of the two horizontal grooves and is fixedly connected to the top of the two hollow cylinders 21. The connecting rods 20 can move horizontally along the horizontal grooves.

[0022] The bottoms of the two extension rods 24 extend through the outside of the two hollow cylinders 21 and are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top of the roller frame 25, respectively. The inner walls of the hollow cylinders 21 are provided with three grooves 28 on both sides. The center of both sides of the elastic block 23 is fixedly connected with a slider 27. The opposite sides of the two sliders 27 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two grooves 28, which guides and limits the movement of the elastic block 23, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the elastic block 23 during compression and rebound. This allows the crushing roller 26 to automatically adjust the pressure according to the texture and thickness of the chili pepper, improving the adaptability and flexibility of crushing and ensuring the quality of the chili sauce.

[0023] First, the chili pepper raw material to be crushed is put into the sieve plate 4 inside the feed box 3. Then, the cylinder 9 is started, which drives the hollow plate 10 to move downward, so that the crushing roller 26 contacts the chili pepper raw material in the feed box 3. At this time, the pressure of the cylinder 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs, so that the crushing roller 26 applies appropriate downward pressure to the chili pepper raw material. At the same time, the motor 15 is started, which rotates the second gear 17 through meshing with the first gear 16, thereby driving the reciprocating screw 11 to rotate inside the hollow plate 10. When the reciprocating screw 11 rotates, it drives the nut plate 12 to move back and forth. During the movement of the nut plate 12, the crushing roller 26 crushes the raw material in the feed box 3. During the crushing process, the elastic buffer composed of the spring 22, elastic block 23 and extension rod 24 inside the hollow cylinder 21 is activated. The crushing structure plays a crucial role. When the crushing roller 26 comes into contact with harder or thicker chili peppers, the spring 22 is compressed, and the elastic block 23 moves upward within the hollow cylinder 21. This elastic buffer structure allows the crushing roller 26 to automatically adjust its downward pressure according to the hardness and thickness of the raw material. This ensures that the harder chili peppers are crushed thoroughly while avoiding over-crushing of softer parts, effectively adapting to the diversity and complexity of the raw materials. During the crushing process, chili pepper particles that meet the particle size requirements fall through the holes in the sieve plate 4, while larger chili pepper particles that do not meet the requirements remain above the sieve plate 4 for further crushing. Finally, the crushed and qualified chili sauce raw material is discharged in a timely manner through the discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom center of the feed box 3, ensuring the continuity of production.

[0024] In summary, the crushing device for chili sauce production, through the design of the material box 3, sieve plate 4, cylinder 9, reciprocating screw 11, motor 15, first gear 16, second gear 17, hollow cylinder 21, spring 22, elastic block 23, extension rod 24, and crushing roller 26, achieves efficient and uniform reciprocating movement of the crushing roller 26 within the material box 3 during crushing operations. Simultaneously, the cylinder 9 drives the roller to move up and down, crushing the chilies from all directions, achieving rapid and thorough crushing and significantly improving production efficiency. During the crushing process, the spring 22 component provides the crushing roller 26 with excellent self-adaptability; when encountering chili raw materials with uneven texture and varying thicknesses, the spring 22... The crushing roller 26 can automatically extend and retract according to pressure changes, ensuring that it always maintains an appropriate downward pressure. This effectively crushes harder chilies while avoiding over-crushing softer parts, adapting to the diversity and complexity of raw materials. This ensures the uniformity of chili sauce particles and improves product quality. While crushing, the sieve plate 4 plays an important role in grading and screening. It can promptly sieve down qualified raw materials, allowing chili particles that meet the particle size requirements to pass through smoothly, while larger particles that do not meet the requirements remain above the sieve plate 4 for further crushing. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces the workload of subsequent screening processes, but also ensures that the final chili sauce has a delicate taste and superior quality, meeting the market's demand for high-quality chili sauce.
