Description

A feeder for an onion dehydration production line Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of onion production, specifically a feeder for an onion dehydration production line. Background Technology

[0002] Onions are rich in nutrients, including potassium, vitamin C, folic acid, zinc, selenium, and fiber. Dehydration improves the flavor and sweetness of onions, while significantly reducing the loss of soluble and unstable components and minimizing the loss of insoluble components and minerals. Dehydration not only preserves the nutrients but also makes onions lighter, easier to eat, and extends their shelf life considerably.

[0003] When onions undergo industrial dehydration and are fed through a feeder, the high-temperature drying process causes the cell protoplasts to lose water and turgor pressure, resulting in a brittle texture and poor toughness. This makes it easy for some dehydrated onions to break during transportation, leading to a higher number of defective products and making the removal process cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeder for an onion dehydration production line to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, due to the high-temperature drying process of onions, the cell protoplasts lose water and the turgor pressure disappears, resulting in dehydrated onions being brittle and having poor toughness. During transportation, some dehydrated onions are easily broken, which leads to a large number of defective products in the dehydrated onions and makes the removal process cumbersome.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a feeder for an onion dehydration production line, comprising a support frame, wherein drive shafts are fixedly arranged on both the left and right sides inside the support frame, and conveyor belts are sleeved on the sides of the two drive shafts; a motor is fixedly arranged on the front side of the support frame, and the rear end of the rotating shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rear end of the left drive shaft.

[0006] A storage frame is fixedly installed on the right side inside the support frame. A filter element is slidably installed in the middle of the inner wall of the storage frame. A discharge chute is opened on the right side of the storage frame. A baffle frame is installed inside the discharge chute. Two limit blocks are rotatably installed on the right side of the storage frame.

[0007] Preferably, the filter element includes a Chinese character-shaped filter plate. The inner wall of the storage frame has a groove in the middle that cooperates with the two horizontal plates of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate. Two first compression springs are fixedly installed at the bottom of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate. The bottom ends of the first compression springs are fixedly engaged with the bottom of the inner wall of the groove. A connecting rod is rotatably installed in the middle of the inner wall of the storage frame. The Chinese character-shaped filter plate can filter onions, so that onions are quickly separated from onion pieces.

[0008] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the connecting rod pass through the front and rear sides of the storage frame, respectively. The front and rear sides of the side of the connecting rod and the front and rear sides of the right drive shaft are all fitted with belts. Protective sleeves are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the support frame.

[0009] Preferably, abutment blocks are fixedly provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting rod. The sides of the abutment blocks are rounded, and the sides of the abutment blocks abut against the upper side of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate. The frictional force generated when the sides of the rounded abutment blocks abut against the upper side of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate is small.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle frame includes an L-shaped frame, which is slidably disposed on the lower side of the inner wall of the discharge chute. An L-shaped groove is provided on the side of the vertical plate of the L-shaped frame, and two L-shaped plates are slidably disposed inside the L-shaped groove. A second compression spring is fixedly disposed on the opposite side of the two vertical plates of the L-shaped plate, and a rod is fixedly disposed on the opposite side of the two horizontal plates of the L-shaped plate. The L-shaped frame facilitates the collection and removal of some onion fragments.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting block includes two rotating bars, each of which has two stop bars rotatably arranged on its side. The four stop bars are arranged in pairs and are fixedly arranged in an L-shape on the side of the rotating bars. Two of the four stop bars have fixed grooves on their sides. The side of the fixed grooves slides into the side of the insertion rod. When the insertion rod moves into the inside of the fixed grooves, it can limit and fix the stop bars and the rotating bars.

[0012] Preferably, a baffle is rotatably provided on the upper side of the inner wall of the discharge chute, and the sides of two of the four baffles are in contact with the side of the baffle, while the sides of the other two baffles are in contact with the side of the L-shaped frame. The baffles can limit the position of the baffle and the L-shaped frame, and the baffle can prevent the onions from falling off during the transmission process.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this invention, a motor and a conveyor belt move the dehydrated onion onto a U-shaped filter plate. At the same time, the right-side drive shaft and two belts drive the connecting rod and the contact block to rotate, moving the U-shaped filter plate downward and compressing the first compression spring. This causes the U-shaped filter plate to vibrate continuously, which quickly removes the fragments and other impurities from the dehydrated onion on the upper side into the L-shaped frame.

[0015] In this invention, by moving the two L-shaped plates toward the center and squeezing the second compression spring, the two insert rods are moved toward the center and removed from the fixed groove, releasing the fixation of the rotating bar. The two rotating bars are then rotated 180° to release the fixation of the two rotating bars to the L-shaped frame and the baffle, thus quickly removing dehydrated onions and defective products from the dehydrated onions.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a feeder for an onion dehydration production line, including a support frame 1. A drive shaft 2 is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides inside the support frame 1. A conveyor belt 3 is sleeved on the side of the two drive shafts 2. A motor 4 is fixedly installed on the front side of the support frame 1. The rear end of the rotating shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the left drive shaft 2.

[0023] A storage frame 5 is fixedly installed on the right side inside the support frame 1. A filter element 6 is slidably installed in the middle of the inner wall of the storage frame 5. A discharge trough 7 is opened on the right side of the storage frame 5. A baffle frame 8 is installed inside the discharge trough 7. Two limit blocks 9 are rotatably installed on the right side of the storage frame 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, the filter element 6 includes a U-shaped filter plate 601. A groove 602 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the storage frame 5 to cooperate with the two horizontal plates of the U-shaped filter plate 601. Two first compression springs 603 are fixedly provided at the bottom of the U-shaped filter plate 601. The bottom end of the first compression spring 603 is fixedly engaged with the bottom of the inner wall of the groove 602. A connecting rod 604 is rotatably provided in the middle of the inner wall of the storage frame 5. The U-shaped filter plate 601 can filter onions, so that onions are quickly separated from onion pieces.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the front and rear ends of the connecting rod 604 pass through the front and rear sides of the storage frame 5 respectively. The front and rear sides of the side of the connecting rod 604 and the front and rear sides of the right drive shaft 2 are both fitted with belts 605. The front and rear sides of the support frame 1 are fixedly provided with protective sleeves 606, which can protect the two belts 605.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, abutment blocks 607 are fixedly provided on both the front and rear sides of the connecting rod 604. The sides of the abutment blocks 607 are rounded, and the sides of the abutment blocks 607 abut against the upper side of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate 601. The frictional force generated when the sides of the rounded abutment blocks 607 abut against the upper side of the Chinese character-shaped filter plate 601 is small.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 4, the baffle frame 8 includes an L-shaped frame 801, which is slidably disposed on the lower side of the inner wall of the discharge chute 7. An L-shaped groove 802 is provided on the side of the vertical plate of the L-shaped frame 801. Two L-shaped plates 803 are slidably disposed inside the L-shaped groove 802. A second compression spring 804 is fixedly disposed on the opposite side of the two vertical plates of the L-shaped plate 803. An insert rod 805 is fixedly disposed on the opposite side of the two horizontal plates of the L-shaped plate 803. The L-shaped frame 801 facilitates the collection and removal of some onion fragments.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the limiting block 9 includes two rotating bars 901. Each of the two rotating bars 901 has two stop bars 902 rotatably mounted on its side. The four stop bars 902 are fixedly mounted in pairs on the side of the rotating bars 901 in an L-shape. Two of the four stop bars 902 have fixed grooves 903 fixedly mounted on their sides. The side of the fixed groove 903 slides with the side of the insertion rod 805. When the insertion rod 805 moves into the inside of the fixed groove 903, it can limit and fix the stop bars 902 and the rotating bars 901.

[0029] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, a baffle 701 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the inner wall of the discharge chute 7. Two of the four baffles 902 have their sides in contact with the side of the baffle 701, and the other two baffles 902 have their sides in contact with the side of the L-shaped frame 801. The baffles 902 can limit the movement of the baffle 701 and the L-shaped frame 801, and the baffle 701 can prevent the onions from falling off during the transmission process.

[0030] The application process is as follows:

[0031] As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, the rotating shaft of the motor 4 drives the conveyor belt 3 to transport the dehydrated onions on its upper side to the inside of the storage frame 5 and drop them onto the upper side of the Chinese-shaped filter plate 601. At the same time, the right-side drive shaft 2 rotates, driving the two belts 605 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 604 to rotate with the abutment block 607 on its side. When the abutment block 607 rotates to contact the upper side of the Chinese-shaped filter plate 601, it moves the Chinese-shaped filter plate 601 downward and compresses the first compression spring 603, causing the Chinese-shaped filter plate 601 to vibrate continuously. This quickly removes the fragments and other impurities from the dehydrated onions on its upper side into the inside of the L-shaped frame 801.

[0032] By moving the two L-shaped plates 803 towards the center simultaneously, the second compression spring 804 is compressed, causing the two insert rods 805 to move towards the center simultaneously and move out of the fixed groove 903, thus releasing the fixation on the rotating bar 901. Then, the two rotating bars 901 are rotated 180° to release the fixation of the two rotating bars 901 on the L-shaped frame 801 and the baffle 701, so that the dehydrated onions and defective products in the dehydrated onions can be quickly removed.
