Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lotus seed processing, and in particular to a raw lotus seed feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus seeds are the seeds of the lotus flower and are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and cooking. They are not only delicious but also offer numerous health benefits. While lotus seeds are tasty, the bitter core (the inner part of the lotus seed) is usually removed using a lotus seed core remover to ensure the taste and quality of the lotus seeds.

[0003] In existing technologies, lotus seeds have a large yield, so a large number of lotus seeds are stored in the storage bin during the core-removal process. This causes a large amount of lotus seeds to accumulate at the discharge port when the material is discharged, clogging the discharge port and affecting the discharge of lotus seeds, thus reducing the efficiency of the core-removal processing of lotus seeds. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a raw lotus seed feeding device to solve the problem of lotus seed feeding blockage, improve the feeding stability of lotus seeds, and thus ensure the efficiency of lotus seed core opening.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A raw lotus seed feeding device, comprising:

[0007] The frame is installed below the feeding port of the lotus seed core-opening machine, and the top of the frame has a feeding port corresponding to the feeding port.

[0008] The feeding wheel is rotated inside the feeding port, and the surface of the feeding wheel has multiple receiving slots arranged in a ring array to accommodate lotus seeds.

[0009] The material selection bin is located above the machine frame and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port. It is used to store lotus seeds, and the bottom of the material selection bin has a notch for accommodating the feeding wheel.

[0010] The anti-blocking component is installed inside the material selection bin. The anti-blocking component includes a connecting shaft, a lotus seed lever, a transmission lever, and a toggle block. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the side of the material selection bin away from the feed wheel. The connecting shaft is located on the outer wall inside the material selection bin and is rotatably connected to the lotus seed lever through a connector. The end of the connecting shaft extends out of the material selection bin and is fixedly connected to the transmission lever. An aggle block for actuating the transmission lever is eccentrically provided on the side wall of the feed wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a turntable and a limiting block. The turntable is fixedly connected to the lotus seed lever, and the limiting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the turntable. A circular groove is provided on the outer wall of the connecting shaft, and the turntable is rotatably connected in the circular groove. A limiting groove for accommodating the limiting block is provided on the side wall of the circular groove, so that the lotus seed lever can only rotate within the material selection bin.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft. The guide plate gradually approaches the feeding wheel from top to bottom, so that the guide plate is inclined and set in the material selection bin.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the frame is connected to a rotating shaft for supporting the feed wheel via a bearing seat, and the end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the feed wheel.

[0014] Furthermore, a brush is rotatably connected to the side of the material selection bin away from the connecting shaft, and a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the side wall of the brush. The drive shaft is connected to the rotating shaft through a chain drive mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, an arc-shaped anti-detachment plate is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding port near the brush, and the anti-detachment plate covers the outside of the feeding wheel.

[0016] Furthermore, a shovel for dislodging lotus seeds is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame on the side away from the anti-detachment plate, and an annular groove for accommodating the shovel is provided on the side wall of the feeding wheel.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is fixedly connected to baffles on both the front and rear sides of the feeding port to prevent lotus seeds from falling off.

[0018] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. The raw lotus seed feeding device, through the anti-blocking component, can use the actuating block set on the side wall of the feeding wheel to actuate the transmission lever when the feeding wheel is rotating to feed, so that the transmission lever drives the connecting shaft and the lotus seed lever to rotate, which is used to actuate the lotus seeds in the selection bin, thus avoiding lotus seed blockage, effectively ensuring stable feeding of lotus seeds, and thus improving the core opening efficiency of lotus seeds;

[0020] 2. This raw lotus seed feeding device, through the set connecting parts, allows the lotus seed lever to swing slightly along the surface of the lotus seeds to avoid the blocked lotus seeds when the lotus seed lever falls back. Then the lotus seed lever will squeeze the lotus seeds below the blocked lotus seeds, causing the lotus seeds at the bottom to move, thus breaking the balance between the lotus seeds and further preventing the lotus seeds from blocking.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example: Refer to Figures 1-5 The present invention discloses a raw lotus seed feeding device, comprising:

[0030] The frame 1 is installed below the feeding port of the lotus seed core-opening machine, and the top of the frame 1 is provided with a feeding port 5 corresponding to the feeding port.

[0031] The feeding wheel 2 is rotatably disposed inside the feeding port 5, and the surface of the feeding wheel 2 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 6 for accommodating lotus seeds in a circular array;

[0032] The material selection bin 3 is located above the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port. It is used to store lotus seeds. The bottom of the material selection bin 3 has a notch 7 for accommodating the feeding wheel 2.

[0033] The anti-blocking component 4 is installed inside the material selection bin 3. The anti-blocking component 4 includes a connecting shaft 41, a lotus seed lever 42, a transmission lever 43, and a toggle block 44. The connecting shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the side of the material selection bin 3 away from the feeding wheel 2. The connecting shaft 41 is located on the outer wall inside the material selection bin 3 and is rotatably connected to the lotus seed lever 42 through a connector 8. The end of the connecting shaft 41 extends out of the material selection bin 3 and is fixedly connected to the transmission lever 43. The side wall of the feeding wheel 2 is eccentrically provided with a toggle block 44 for actuating the transmission lever 43.

[0034] In this embodiment, a frame 1 is provided and installed below the feeding port of the lotus seed core-cleaning machine. Then, a feeding port 5 is opened on the top of the frame 1 at the position corresponding to the feeding port. This allows the lotus seeds from the lotus seed feeding machine to pass directly through the feeding port 5, thereby ensuring that the lotus seeds can be fed normally onto the lotus seed conveyor belt and ensuring the efficiency of the lotus seed core-cleaning process.

[0035] Subsequent observation Figure 4 It can be observed that a feeding wheel 2 is rotatably installed inside the feeding port 5, and the surface of the feeding wheel 2 has multiple receiving slots 6 arranged in a ring array to accommodate lotus seeds. This is combined with... Figure 1 It can be seen that a material selection bin 3 is set above the frame 1. The bottom of the material selection bin 3 has a notch 7 for accommodating the feeding wheel 2. The top of the material selection bin 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port of the lotus seed core-setting machine. When the lotus seeds are discharged, they will enter the material selection bin 3. When the lotus seeds accumulate at the bottom of the material selection bin 3, they will come into contact with the feeding wheel 2, so that the lotus seeds enter the receiving groove 6. At this time, the rotation of the feeding wheel 2 can orderly output the lotus seeds through the receiving groove 6 and the feeding port 5, thereby ensuring the stability of the lotus seed discharge and avoiding the accumulation of lotus seeds on the conveyor belt of the lotus seed core-setting machine, which will affect the subsequent lotus seed core-setting effect.

[0036] Because of the large yield of lotus seeds, a large number of lotus seeds are stored in the storage bin during the core-removal process. This causes a large amount of lotus seeds to accumulate at the discharge port when the material is discharged, which can block the discharge port and affect the discharge of lotus seeds, thus reducing the efficiency of the core-removal processing.

[0037] Therefore, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2It can be seen that an anti-blocking component 4 is provided in the material selection bin 3. The anti-blocking component 4 includes a connecting shaft 41, a lotus seed lever 42, a transmission lever 43, and a moving block 44. The connecting shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the side of the material selection bin 3 away from the feeding wheel 2. The connecting shaft 41 is located on the outer wall of the material selection bin 3 and is rotatably connected to the lotus seed lever 42 through a connector 8. The end of the connecting shaft 41 extends out of the material selection bin 3 and is fixedly connected to the transmission lever 43. The side wall of the feeding wheel 2 is eccentrically provided with a moving block 44 for moving the transmission lever 43.

[0038] When lotus seeds are being fed, as the feeding wheel 2 rotates, the actuating block 44 will actuate the transmission lever 43, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 41 to rotate, causing the lotus seed lever 42 located in the selection bin 3 to be actuated. This stirs the lotus seeds in the selection bin 3, breaks the balance of the lotus seeds, and prevents them from clogging. This effectively ensures the feeding efficiency of lotus seeds and further improves the core-opening efficiency of lotus seeds.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting part 8 includes a turntable 81 and a limiting block 82. The turntable 81 is fixedly connected to the lotus seed lever 42, and the limiting block 82 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the turntable 81. A circular groove 9 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 41, and the turntable 81 is rotatably connected in the circular groove 9. A limiting groove 10 for accommodating the limiting block 82 is opened on the side wall of the circular groove 9, so that the lotus seed lever 42 can only rotate in the selection bin 3. When the lotus seed lever 42 tilts upward to move the lotus seed, the lotus seed lever 42 exerts force normally upward. When the lotus seed lever 42 falls back, if there is a lotus seed blocking the selection bin 3 and preventing the lotus seed lever 42 from falling back, the lotus seed lever 42 can swing slightly along the surface of the lotus seed to avoid the blocked lotus seed. Then the lotus seed lever 42 will squeeze the lotus seed below the blocked lotus seed, causing the lotus seed at the bottom to move, breaking the balance between the lotus seeds, and further preventing the lotus seed from blocking.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a guide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft 41. The guide plate 11 gradually approaches the feeding wheel 2 from top to bottom, so that the guide plate 11 is inclined in the material selection bin 3. This allows the lotus seeds to actively gather near the feeding wheel 2 when they fall, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the lotus seeds.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, a rotating shaft 13 for supporting the feed wheel 2 is connected to the top of the frame 1 via a bearing seat 12. The end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the feed wheel 2, which ensures the rotation of the feed wheel 2.

[0042] At the same time Figure 3It can also be seen that a pulley is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 13. When the feed wheel 2 needs to rotate, the motor only needs to drive the rotating shaft 13 to rotate through the belt drive mechanism to make the feed wheel 2 rotate, which can effectively reduce the difficulty of using the feeding device.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, a brush 14 is rotatably connected to the side of the material selection bin 3 away from the connecting shaft 41. A drive shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the brush 14. The drive shaft 15 and the rotating shaft 13 are connected through a chain drive mechanism 16. When the feeding wheel 2 rotates, the rotating shaft 13 and the chain drive mechanism 16 drive the drive shaft 15 to rotate, thereby causing the brush 14 to rotate. This is used to remove excess lotus seeds in the receiving trough 6, so that the receiving trough 6 can only handle one lotus seed at a time, thus ensuring that the lotus seeds do not accumulate during feeding.

[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, an arc-shaped anti-detachment plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding port 5 near the brush 14. The anti-detachment plate 17 is wrapped around the outside of the feeding wheel 2. When the feeding wheel 2 rotates, the lotus seeds are restricted by the anti-detachment plate 17 and cannot fall off. The lotus seeds can only be fed normally when the receiving trough 6 rotates to the bottom of the feeding port 5. This can effectively improve the stability of lotus seed feeding.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a paddle plate 18 for dislodging lotus seeds is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame 1 on the side away from the anti-detachment plate 17. The side wall of the feeding wheel 2 is provided with an annular groove 19 for accommodating the paddle plate 18. When the lotus seed is stuck in the receiving groove 6 and cannot fall out normally, as the feeding wheel 2 continues to rotate, the lotus seed will come into contact with the paddle plate 18, thereby using the paddle plate 18 to squeeze the lotus seed out of the receiving groove 6, which can further ensure the stability of the lotus seed feeding.

[0046] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, by fixing baffles 20 to the front and rear sides of the feeding port 5 at the bottom of the frame 1 to prevent lotus seeds from falling off, the lotus seeds can be prevented from falling off when they fall on the lotus seed conveyor belt, thereby ensuring the stability of lotus seed conveying and improving the efficiency of lotus seed core removal.

[0047] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the frame 1 is installed in the lotus seed core-opening machine below the feeding port, and then the material selection bin 3 is fixed at the bottom of the feeding port. When the lotus seeds are fed, the lotus seeds will enter the material selection bin 3. Then the feeding wheel 2 can be rotated to feed the lotus seeds.

[0048] When the feed wheel 2 rotates, the actuating block 44 on the side wall of the feed wheel 2 will actuate the transmission lever 43, thereby causing the connecting shaft 41 to rotate with the lotus seed lever 42, actuating the lotus seeds in the selection bin 3, which can effectively prevent lotus seed blockage and make the feeding of lotus seeds more stable.

[0049] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
