Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a conveying device for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Food processing conveying devices are equipment used to transport food raw materials, semi-finished products, or finished products during food production. They are mainly divided into several categories, such as belt conveyors, spiral conveyors, bucket elevators, and pneumatic conveyors. Among them, belt conveyors are more widely used for block-shaped foods, such as meat and fruit.
[0003] For example, when processing meat, it needs to be cut. A conveyor belt transports the meat to the cutting area. During this process, some meat scraps adhere to the conveyor belt. These scraps contain protein, fat, and moisture, creating an ideal environment for microbial growth. If not cleaned promptly, the scraps will quickly rot and spoil, producing bacteria (such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus) or mold, contaminating subsequent food products. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a food processing conveying device that can clean the surface of the conveying device, addressing the aforementioned technical problems.

[0033] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This invention describes a conveying device for food processing.
[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in one embodiment, the food processing conveying device includes a conveying device 1, a support frame 2, a lead screw 3, a movable block 4, a scraper 5, and a shaking assembly 6.
[0035] The conveying device 1, usually a conveyor belt, transports food. The support frame 2 provides support for the lead screw 3. The rotation of the lead screw 3 can move the movable block 4 up and down. The through groove 41 is opened on one side of the movable block 4. The internal shaking component 6 can drive the scraper 5 to shake.
[0036] Specifically, the meat chunks are transported on the conveyor device 1, which is usually a conveyor belt. During use, only one scraper 5 is in contact with the top of the conveyor belt at any given time, while the other scraper 5 is lower than the conveyor belt. When the scraper 5 is in contact with the conveyor belt, it can scrape some of the meat scraps on the conveyor belt to one side of the scraper 5, ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor device 1. After one of the scraper 5 has been working for a period of time, a lot of meat scraps will accumulate on its surface. If it is not cleaned, it will affect the cleaning efficiency of the scraper 5. At this time, the screws 3 on both sides can be rotated alternately. First, rotate the screw 3 on the side where the scraper 5 is not working to drive the movable block 4 and scraper 5 on the same side to move upward. After the scraper 5 on this side is in contact with the conveyor belt, rotate the screw 3 on the other side to drive the scraper 5 on this side to move downward. During the downward movement of the movable block 4 and scraper 5 on this side, the shaking component 6 set in the through groove 41 drives the scraper 5 to shake, which can accelerate the separation of the meat scraps attached to the scraper 5 from the scraper 5. The support frame 2 provides support for the screw 3.
[0037] See Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the shaking component 6 includes a movable rod 61. Multiple movable rods 61 are arranged in a ring array within the through groove 41. One end of the movable rod 61 movably penetrates the inner wall of the through groove 41 and the other end is fixedly connected to the scraper 5. A circular plate 62 is fixedly provided at the end of the movable rod 61 away from the scraper 5. The circular plate 62 is connected to the inner wall of the through groove 41 by a positioning spring 63.
[0038] Specifically, when the movable block 4 and the scraper 5 move downwards, the circular plate 62 and the movable rod 61 move laterally back and forth. The movable rod 61 will drive the scraper 5 to move laterally back and forth. During this process, the positioning spring 63 will be compressed at first and then return to normal, which will accelerate the separation of the meat scraps attached to the scraper 5 from the scraper 5.
[0039] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a round rod 7 is rotatably provided on one side of the through groove 41, and a disc 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the round rod 7. Multiple limiting blocks 9 are arranged in a circular array on the disc 8. An inclined groove 91 is opened on one side of the limiting block 9. A limiting rod 10 is fixedly provided at the end of the circular plate 62 away from the movable rod 61. The limiting rod 10 is in movable contact with the inclined groove 91.
[0040] Specifically, when the movable block 4 and scraper 5 move downwards, the round rod 7 rotates counterclockwise. The rotation of the round rod 7 will drive the disc 8 and the limiting block 9 to rotate. The limiting block 9 has a groove 91 on one side. During the rotation of the limiting block 9, it will abut against the limiting rod 10. The limiting rod 10 will move from the lower part of the groove 91 to the higher part. During this process, the limiting rod 10 will move away from the disc 8, which will drive the round plate 62, the movable rod 61 and the scraper 5 to move laterally. During this process, the positioning spring 63 will be compressed. When the limiting rod 10 moves to the highest point of the groove 91, the disc 8 continues to rotate, and the limiting rod 10 no longer contacts the limiting block 9. Under the action of the positioning spring 63 returning to its original state, it will drive the movable rod 61, the scraper 5 and the round plate 62 to move quickly in the opposite direction to the initial position. During this process, the scraper 5 will vibrate, which will accelerate the separation of the minced meat from the scraper 5.
[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a vertical rod 11 is fixedly installed on the support frame 2, and the movable block 4 is slidably connected to the vertical rod 11.
[0042] Specifically, when the lead screw 3 rotates, it will drive the movable block 4 to move up and down. During the up and down movement of the movable block 4, it moves relative to the vertical rod 11. This can prevent the movable block 4 from rotating due to the rotation of the lead screw 3.
[0043] See Figures 3-5As shown, in this embodiment, a drive gear 12 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the round rod 7, and a ring 13 is fixedly provided on one side of the drive gear 12. Multiple sawtooth grooves 131 are arranged in an annular array on the ring 13. A sawtooth block 14 is movably engaged in the sawtooth groove 131, and the sawtooth block 14 is connected to the round rod 7 by a connecting spring 15.
[0044] Specifically, when the movable block 4 and scraper 5 move downwards, the drive gear 12 rotates counterclockwise. The rotation of the drive gear 12 drives the ring 13 to rotate counterclockwise. During this rotation, the serrated block 14 meshes with the serrated groove 131. The rotation of the ring 13 drives the serrated block 14 and the round rod 7 to rotate counterclockwise together, enabling the disc 8 to rotate counterclockwise. The limiting rod 10 can move from the lower part to the higher part of the inclined groove 91 opened relative to the limiting block 9. Similarly, when the movable block 4... When moving upward, the drive gear 12 rotates clockwise, and the ring 13 also rotates clockwise. When rotating in this direction, the serrated block 14 does not engage with the serrated groove 131. During the rotation of the ring 13, the connecting spring 15 is compressed, and the rod 7 and the disc 8 will not rotate. This avoids the situation where if the disc 8 rotates clockwise, the limit rod 10 will abut against the end of the limit block 9 without the inclined groove 91, and the rotation of the disc 8 will be obstructed. Forcing the rotation will damage the components.
[0045] See Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a rack 19 is fixedly installed on the support frame 2. The rack 19 moves through the through groove 41 and meshes with the drive gear 12 for transmission.
[0046] Specifically, during the downward movement of the movable block 4, the meshing of the drive gear 12 with the rack 19 causes the drive gear 12 to rotate counterclockwise, which enables the scraper 5 to vibrate; during the upward movement of the movable block 4, the drive gear 12 rotates clockwise, and the disc 8 does not rotate, thus avoiding damage to the components.
[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the support frame 2 is rotatably mounted between the two lead screws 3 with a rotating shaft 16. An incomplete gear 17 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 16, and a positioning gear 18 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 3. The incomplete gear 17 and the positioning gear 18 mesh and transmit power.
[0048] Specifically, first, rotating the rotating shaft 16 counterclockwise drives the incomplete gear 17 to rotate counterclockwise. During the rotation, it first meshes with a positioning gear 18, causing the positioning gear 18 to rotate. The corresponding lead screw 3 rotates, causing the corresponding movable block 4 and scraper 5 to move upward. The scraper 5 abuts against the conveying device 1 to remove meat scraps. Continuing to rotate the incomplete gear 17 in the same direction will drive the positioning gear 18 and lead screw 3 on the other side to rotate, causing the movable block 4 and scraper 5 on that side to move downward. During the downward movement, the meat scraps are shaken off by the vibration of the scraper 5. After the incomplete gear 17 rotates counterclockwise once, it stops for a period of time. After a certain amount of meat scraps accumulate on the surface of the other scraper 5, rotating the incomplete gear 17 clockwise once can realize the replacement of the scrapers 5 on both sides. By alternating forward and reverse rotation of the incomplete gear 17, the scrapers 5 on both sides can alternately abut against the conveying device 1 and be cleaned.
[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0050] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
