[0002] With the continuous development of the snack food industry, pumpkin seeds, as a popular nut snack, have seen their processing efficiency and product quality become the focus of enterprises. In the automated processing production line of pumpkin seeds, the feeding hopper is a key link in material conveying, and its performance directly affects the stability of subsequent processes such as roasting and packaging.

[0003] However, the existing pumpkin seed hopper is not convenient for stirring the pumpkin seeds in the hopper during use. During storage and feeding, the pumpkin seeds may stick together and clump together due to factors such as moisture and surface oil, causing feeding blockage and interrupting the continuity of the conveying process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pumpkin seed feeding hopper based on a conveyor belt conveying device. By setting up a stirring mechanism, it solves the problem that existing pumpkin seed feeding hoppers are not convenient to stir the pumpkin seeds in the hopper during use. During storage and feeding, pumpkin seeds may stick together and clump together due to factors such as moisture and surface oil, causing feeding blockage and interrupting the continuity of the conveying process.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a pumpkin seed feeding hopper based on a conveyor belt conveying device, which includes two support legs, and a stirring mechanism and a conveying mechanism are provided on the two support legs.

[0007] The stirring mechanism includes a support frame fixedly connected to the top of two support legs. A discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the discharge hopper. The bottom of the rotating shaft extends into the support leg. A gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The top of the gear is fixedly connected to the discharge hopper. A bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The conveying mechanism includes two rotating shafts rotatably connected between the two support legs. The front of the rotating shaft rotatably connected to the left side penetrates the support leg located on the front side.

[0008] Furthermore, the bracket has several rotating shafts 2 passing through it, and each of the rotating shafts 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket. Each of the rotating shafts 2 has a gear 2 fixedly connected to its outer wall, and each of the gear 2 meshes with a gear 1.

[0009] Furthermore, a stirring rack 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of several rotating shafts 2, and the side of several stirring racks 1 away from the rotating shaft 1 is in contact with the support leg. A stirring rack 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 1, a motor 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the support leg, and the output shaft of the motor 1 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1 through a coupling. A discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the discharge hopper.

[0010] Furthermore, a valve is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe, a feed pipe is connected to the top of the discharge hopper, rollers are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two rotating shafts, and a conveyor belt is sleeved on the outer walls of the two rollers.

[0011] Furthermore, a second motor is fixedly connected to the front of the supporting leg located on the front side, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a third rotating shaft located on the left side via a coupling. Several guide plates are fixedly connected to the top of the two supporting legs.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. By setting up a stirring mechanism, the seasonings and pumpkin seeds are fed into the discharge hopper on the support frame through the feed pipe at the top of the discharge hopper. Then, motor one is turned on. Motor one drives the support frame to rotate via shaft one. The support frame drives several shafts two on it to rotate around shaft one. In turn, the shafts one drive gears two on them to roll on gear one. At the same time, gears two rotate on their own axes while rotating around gear one, thus driving the shafts two on them to rotate around shaft one while rotating on their own axes. The shafts two drive the stirring frame one on them to rotate around shaft one. The rotation of the shaft stirs the pumpkin seeds and seasonings in the hopper. At the same time, the outer walls of several stirring racks rub against the inner wall of the hopper to prevent pumpkin seeds and seasonings from adhering to the inner wall. During this process, the second stirring rack is driven to rotate by the first rotating shaft to supplement the stirring of the first stirring rack, further ensuring that the pumpkin seeds in the hopper are thoroughly stirred. This prevents the pumpkin seeds from sticking together and clumping due to moisture, surface oil, etc., and breaks up the clumping, thus keeping the pumpkin seeds in a loose state, avoiding material blockage, and ensuring the continuity of the conveying process.

[0014] 2. By setting up a conveyor mechanism, after stirring for a suitable time, the pumpkin seed container is placed on the conveyor belt. Motor 2 is started, and motor 2 drives the left-side rotating shaft 3 to rotate. The left-side rotating shaft 3 drives the conveyor belt to rotate through its rollers. At the same time, the right-side rotating shaft 3 and rollers are also driven to rotate, thereby moving the container on the conveyor belt under the limit of the two guide plates to below the stirring mechanism. Motor 2 is stopped, and the valve on the discharge pipe is opened. The pumpkin seeds in the discharge hopper fall into the container through the discharge pipe. After the container is filled with a suitable amount, the valve is closed, and motor 2 is started again. The conveyor belt rotates and moves the container away from below the stirring mechanism. This allows the conveyor belt to promptly carry the container full of pumpkin seeds away from below the discharge hopper after the container has finished receiving the material, quickly transporting the material to the next production stage. This achieves efficient transfer of materials between different processes, thereby further ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a pumpkin seed feeding hopper based on a conveyor belt conveying device, including two support legs 1. A stirring mechanism 2 and a conveying mechanism 3 are installed on the two support legs 1. The stirring mechanism 2 includes a support frame 211 fixedly connected to the top of the two support legs 1. A discharge hopper 212 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 211. A rotating shaft 213 is rotatably connected to the top of the discharge hopper 212. The bottom of the rotating shaft 213 extends into the support leg 1. A gear 214 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 213. The top of the gear 214 is fixedly connected to the discharge hopper 212. A bracket 215 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 213. Several rotating shafts 216 pass through the bracket 215 and are rotatably connected to the bracket 215. Gears 217 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of each rotating shaft 216. All 217 mesh with gear 214. The outer walls of several rotating shafts 216 are fixedly connected with stirring racks 218. The side of several stirring racks 218 away from rotating shaft 213 is in contact with support leg 1. The outer wall of rotating shaft 213 is fixedly connected with stirring rack 219. The top of support leg 1 is fixedly connected with motor 2110. The output shaft of motor 2110 is fixedly connected to rotating shaft 213 through a coupling. The bottom of discharge hopper 212 is connected to discharge pipe 111. The outer wall of discharge pipe 111 is equipped with valve 112. The top of discharge hopper 212 is connected to feed pipe 113. By setting up stirring mechanism 2, pumpkin seeds can be prevented from sticking together and clumping due to moisture, surface oil, etc., thus breaking the formation of clumps and keeping pumpkin seeds in a loose state, avoiding material blockage and ensuring the continuity of the conveying process.

[0026] The conveying mechanism 3 includes two rotating shafts 311 rotatably connected between two support legs 1. The front of the rotating shaft 311 on the left side passes through the support leg 1 on the front side. Rollers 312 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both rotating shafts 311. A conveyor belt 313 is sleeved on the outer walls of the two rollers 312. A motor 314 is fixedly connected to the front of the support leg 1 on the front side. The output shaft of the motor 314 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 311 on the left side through a coupling. Several guide plates 315 are fixedly connected to the top of the two support legs 1. By setting up the conveying mechanism 3, after the container finishes receiving the material, the conveyor belt 313 can promptly carry the container full of pumpkin seeds away from below the hopper, and quickly transport the material to the next production stage. This achieves efficient transfer of materials between different processes, thereby further ensuring the continuity of the production process.

[0027] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the seasonings and pumpkin seeds are first placed into the discharge hopper 212 on the support frame 211 through the feed pipe 113 at the top of the discharge hopper 212. Then, the motor 2110 is turned on. The motor 2110 drives the bracket 215 to rotate through the rotating shaft 213. The bracket 215 drives several rotating shafts 216 on it to rotate around the rotating shaft 213. Thus, the several rotating shafts 213 drive the gears 217 on them to rotate around the gear 214. As the gear rolls upwards, gear 217 rotates around gear 214 while simultaneously rotating on its own axis. This causes several shafts 216 to rotate around shaft 213 while also rotating on their own axes. Each shaft 216 then drives a stirring rack 218 on it to rotate around shaft 213 while simultaneously rotating on its own axis. This stirs the pumpkin seeds and seasonings in the discharge hopper 212. Simultaneously, the outer walls of the stirring racks 218 continuously scrape against the inner wall of the discharge hopper 212, preventing pumpkin seeds from adhering to the inner wall. During the mixing of pumpkin seeds and seasonings, the second mixing rack 219 is driven to rotate by the first rotating shaft 213, supplementing the mixing of the first mixing rack 218 and further ensuring that the pumpkin seeds in the discharge hopper 212 are fully mixed. After the appropriate mixing time, the pumpkin seed container is placed on the conveyor belt 313, and the second motor 314 is started. The second motor 314 drives the third rotating shaft 311 on the left side to rotate. The third rotating shaft 311 on the left side drives the conveyor belt 313 to rotate through the roller 312 on it. At this time, the third rotating shaft 311 on the right side and the roller 312 are also driven to rotate, thereby driving the container on the conveyor belt 313 to move to the bottom of the mixing mechanism 2 under the limit of the two guide plates 315. The second motor 314 is stopped, the valve 112 on the discharge pipe 111 is opened, and the pumpkin seeds in the discharge hopper 212 fall into the container through the discharge pipe 111. After the container is filled with an appropriate amount, the valve 112 is closed, and the second motor 314 is started again. The conveyor belt 313 rotates and drives the container away from the bottom of the mixing mechanism 2.
