[0003] In the production of vegetable-based butter, seeds with high oil content, such as soybeans and rapeseed, need to be washed and crushed in a grinder. Currently, the most common method for adding these seeds is to add them manually all at once, that is, add the material to the machine and add it again after it has been running for a period of time. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the amount added varies, which affects the grinding quality.
[0004] In existing technologies, vegetable-based butter is mostly fed manually, which leads to inconsistent amounts and can affect grinding quality. Therefore, this invention proposes a stable feeding mechanism for vegetable-based butter production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a stable feeding mechanism for the production of vegetable-based cream, including a grinder 1 located below a material hopper 2. The stable feeding mechanism for the production of vegetable-based cream includes a stepper motor 6 and a feeding pipe 3. A fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the grinder 1. The fixed plate 5 can fix the position of the stepper motor 6. The upper end of the fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the material hopper 2, and the raw materials for vegetable-based cream can be added into the material hopper 2. The lower end of the fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to... There is a stepper motor 6. Each time the stepper motor 6 is started, the output shaft rotates only half a turn. The rotation speed of the stepper motor 6 can be adjusted. The inner arc surface of the turntable 4 is rotatably connected to the surface of the stepper motor 6. The upper end of the turntable 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixed plate 5. The rotation of the turntable 4 can drive the material cylinder 14 and the material cylinder 2 15 to rotate. The guide plate 8, the inner side of the material cylinder 14 and the material cylinder 2 15 are provided with sliding grooves 16, and the sliding grooves 16 in the material cylinder 14 and the material cylinder 2 15 are all connected to the sliding grooves 16 of the guide plate 8.
[0021] In the production process of vegetable-based butter, the raw materials can be added to the material bin 2 in advance. Then the material in the material bin 2 begins to flow, and then the stepper motor 6 is started. At this time, the stepper motor 6 adds raw materials to the grinder 1 once each time it rotates.
[0022] Material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of turntable 4. The surface of turntable 4 has through holes, allowing material to pass through and enter material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15. Guide plates 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15. Slide grooves 16 are provided on the inner side of guide plates 8, providing guidance and limiting for the sliding of guide plates 8 and limiting plates 9. A semi-circular plate 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of grinding mill 1. One side of the semi-circular plate 13 is trapezoidal, allowing the spherical component 10 to gradually move upon contact. The upper end of the semi-circular plate 13 contacts the spherical component 10, which is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 9. When the spherical component 10 moves, the limiting plate 9 also moves accordingly. At the same time, due to the restriction of the slide 16, the spherical component 10 can only move vertically. Both ends of the limiting plate 9 pass through the spherical component 10 and are slidably connected to the slide 16. The two ends of the spherical component 10 are fixedly connected to the partition plate 12 and several springs 11. The partition plate 12 can prevent the material in the material bin 2 from entering the slide 16. The partition plate 12 is slidably connected to the slide 16. The other ends of the several springs 11 are fixedly connected to the first material cylinder 14 and the second material cylinder 15 respectively. When the spherical component 10 drives the limiting plate 9 to move, the springs 11 can easily reset. The springs 11 in the first material cylinder 14 are in a compressed state, and the springs 11 in the second material cylinder 15 are in a normal state.
[0023] When the material cylinder 14 moves, the spherical part 10 will start to move along the upper end of the semicircular plate 13. When the spherical part 10 leaves the semicircular plate 13, the spring 11 will push the limiting plate 9 to slide along the slide groove 16, thereby causing the spherical part 10 to start to move down. When the limiting plate 9 slides into the slide groove 16 on the surface of the fixed plate 7, the spherical part 10 will not contact the material cylinder 14 at this time, thereby causing the gap between the two to gradually increase, so that the internal material gradually flows out into the grinding machine 1.
[0024] A fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 6. When the stepper motor 6 starts, the fixed plate 7 will also rotate. The two ends of the fixed plate 7 are fixedly connected to material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15 respectively. When the fixed plate 7 rotates, it will drive material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15 to start rotating. A conveying pipe 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the material bin 2. The other end of the conveying pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 5. Raw materials can be conveyed to material cylinder 14 or material cylinder 2 15 through the conveying pipe 3.
[0025] When the stepper motor 6 is started to rotate, the fixed plate 7 will cause the material cylinder 14 and material cylinder 2 15 to start rotating. During this process, when the spherical part 10 inside the material cylinder 2 15 contacts the trapezoidal surface of the semicircular plate 13, it will gradually move up along the slide groove 16 while sliding, so that the spherical part 10 gradually blocks the lower end of the material cylinder 2 15, allowing it to load materials.
[0026] When the device is working, after checking that the device is correct, the raw materials of the vegetable-based butter are poured into the material bin 2. The raw materials pass through the conveying pipe 3, the fixed plate 5 and the turntable 4 and then enter the material cylinder 14. At this time, the stepper motor 6 is started. The fixed plate 7 will drive the material cylinder 14 and the material cylinder 2 to start rotating, so that one of the two spherical parts 10 slides up along the slide groove 16 and the other slides down along the slide groove 16, thus completing the automatic feeding of the grinder 1. Since the semi-circular plate 13 can make the spherical parts 10 move up to the same height each time, the amount of material fed each time can be kept consistent.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
