Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a yeast feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing brewing processes, the unloading of yeast starter typically relies on forklifts. Workers use forklifts to transport each bag of yeast starter, weighing nearly one ton, from the storage area to the unloading point. During forklift handling, especially on downhill sections, there are significant safety hazards. Traditional handling methods are not only labor-intensive, but the dust pollution generated during the process also poses a threat to workers' health.

[0003] To improve production efficiency and safety, some yeast producers have tried using cranes and other equipment to improve the feeding process. Cranes can transport yeast cakes from the storage area to the feeding port, reducing the use of manual handling and avoiding potential safety accidents during manual handling. This improvement has increased work efficiency to some extent and reduced the labor intensity of workers.

[0004] However, this improvement method still has some problems, especially in crane operation, where the instability of the gantry affects the overall safety and reliability of the operation.

[0005] Specifically, when a crane lifts a whole bag of yeast, the lifting frame may become unstable due to the lack of effective restraint devices. During movement, the frame may sway or tilt due to acceleration and deceleration. This instability not only increases the risk of the yeast falling or colliding but may also affect the normal operation of the crane itself, leading to accidents during operation. Therefore, existing technology has significant room for improvement in terms of lifting frame stability and safety, requiring further technological innovation to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a yeast feeding device that can help workers quickly, stably, and safely transfer entire bags of yeast from the storage area to the feeding port for feeding.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A yeast feeding device includes a track, a moving unit, a lifting unit, a hook, a hanger, a first driver, and a second driver. The moving unit is reciprocally mounted on the track, and the lifting unit is movably connected to the moving unit. The lifting end of the lifting unit is provided with the hook. The first driver is used to drive the moving unit to reciprocate along the track, and the second driver is used to drive the lifting unit to move the hook to achieve lifting and lowering.

[0009] The hanger includes a support, a lifting ring, a first limiting block, and a second limiting block. The support has a supporting surface, the lifting ring is located at the center of the support, and the axis of the lifting ring is parallel to the supporting surface. The first limiting block and the second limiting block are both connected to the support. The first limiting block and the second limiting block are distributed on both sides of the axis of the lifting ring, and a limiting gap D1 is left between the first limiting block and the second limiting block. The hook can pass through the lifting ring along the axial direction of the lifting ring to hook the hanger.

[0010] Preferably, both the first limiting block and the second limiting block have an installation gap D2 in the middle, and the installation gap D2 is used to avoid gaps in the installation of the lifting ring.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting gap D1 gradually increases along the direction perpendicular to the support surface from near the support surface to far away from the support surface.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the hook is 18~20mm, the dimension of the limiting gap D1 at the end near the support surface is 20~30mm, the dimension of the limiting gap D1 at the end far from the support surface is 30~45mm, and the distance H1 between the farthest point of the first limiting block and the second limiting block and the support surface is 80~90mm.

[0013] Preferably, the hanger further includes a reinforcing part, which is cylindrical, with its axis perpendicular to the support surface. One circular end face of the reinforcing part is connected to the bracket, and the first limiting block and the second limiting block are detachably mounted on the other circular end face of the reinforcing part.

[0014] Preferably, the hanger is provided with a plurality of suspension parts, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bracket parallel to the outer periphery of the support surface. Each suspension part includes a third limiting block and a fourth limiting block, which are disposed opposite to each other on the support surface, and a suspension gap D3 is formed between the third limiting block and the fourth limiting block.

[0015] Preferably, the suspension part further includes a limiting rod, and the tops of the third limiting block and the fourth limiting block are provided with mounting holes that match the limiting rod.

[0016] Preferably, the bracket is cross-shaped and has four suspension parts located at the four ends of the cross shape.

[0017] Preferably, the distance H2 between the third limiting block and the farthest point of the fourth limiting block and the support surface is 70~90mm, and the size of the suspension gap D3 is 40~50mm.

[0018] Preferably, the device also includes a remote controller. The moving unit has wheels that drive the moving unit to move along the track. The first driver is a first motor that drives the wheels to move. The lifting unit is a chain hoist. The second driver is a second motor that drives the chain hoist. The remote controller is used to remotely control the operation and stop of the first motor and the second motor.

[0019] The technical solution provided by this utility model can include the following beneficial effects:

[0020] When the hook picks up the hanger, the limiting gap D1 between the first limiting block and the second limiting block restricts the hook from rotating around the axis of the lifting ring, so that the hanger will not swing along the circumferential direction of the lifting ring. When the moving unit drives the lifting unit, the hook and the hanger to move as a whole, the hanger can be manually adjusted by rotating the hook so that the axis of the lifting ring is perpendicular to the length direction of the track. This can prevent the hanger from swaying significantly along the direction of movement during movement, and solve the problem that the hanger needs to move and be positioned along the track. When the moving unit accelerates and decelerates, the hanger sways significantly or tilts along the length direction of the track, which may cause the hanger or the material on it to fall or be impacted.

[0021] By reserving an installation gap D2, the limiting gap D1 can be reduced, effectively limiting the swaying or tilting of the hanger.

[0022] The first and second limiting blocks form a flared shape on the support surface with the opening facing away from the support surface, which facilitates hook installation and ensures anti-shaking and anti-tilting effects.

[0023] The support frame adopts a cross-shaped structure, corresponding to the four hanging lugs at the four corners of the ton bag, and at the same time, it is easy to determine the center of gravity of the support frame for symmetrical processing.

[0024] One end of the track is located in the yeast storage area, and the other end is located directly above the yeast discharge port. During operation, workers only need to suspend the ton bag containing the yeast on the hanger, hang the hanger on the hook, and then operate the remote control to transport the yeast along the track to the top of the discharge port. Then, they can open the discharge port at the bottom of the ton bag to complete the yeast discharge. The yeast cake is placed into the cake dropping box inlet in one go. The optimized operation process reduces the labor intensity of workers, improves safety, and significantly increases production speed. Attached Figure Description

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] A yeast feeding device includes a track 1, a moving unit 2, a lifting unit 3, a hook 4, a hanger 5, a first driver, and a second driver. The moving unit 2 is reciprocally mounted on the track 1, and the lifting unit 3 is movably connected to the moving unit 2. The lifting end of the lifting unit 3 is provided with the hook 4. The first driver is used to drive the moving unit 2 to reciprocate along the track 1, and the second driver is used to drive the lifting unit 3 to move the hook 4 to achieve lifting and lowering.

[0035] The hanger 5 includes a support 51, a lifting ring 52, a first limiting block 53, and a second limiting block 54. The support 51 has a support surface 100. The lifting ring 52 is located at the center of the support 51, and the axis d of the lifting ring 52 is parallel to the support surface 100. The first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 are both connected to the support 51. The first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 are distributed on both sides of the axis d of the lifting ring 52, and a limiting gap D1 is left between the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54. The hook 4 can pass through the lifting ring 52 along the axis d of the lifting ring 52 to hook the hanger 5.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, with this structure, when the hook 4 hooks the hanger 5, the limiting gap D1 between the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 is used to restrict the hook 4 from rotating around the axis d of the lifting ring 52, so that the hanger 5 will not swing along the circumferential direction of the lifting ring 52. When the moving unit 2 drives the lifting unit 3, the hook 4 and the hanger 5 to move as a whole, the hanger 5 can be manually adjusted by rotating the hook 4 so that the axis d of the lifting ring 52 is perpendicular to the length direction of the track 1. This can prevent the hanger 5 from swaying significantly along the moving direction during movement, and solve the problem that the hanger 5 needs to be transported, moved and positioned along the track 1. When the moving unit 2 accelerates and decelerates, the hanger 5 sways significantly or tilts along the length direction of the track 1, causing the hanger 5 or the material on it to fall or be impacted.

[0037] Preferably, the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 are both provided with an installation gap D2 in the middle, and the installation gap D2 is used to avoid gaps in the installation of the lifting ring 52.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the lifting ring 52 is a circular ring with an outer diameter of 60mm and a thickness of 10mm. Without the installation gap D2, the lifting ring 52 ensures that the limiting gap D1 between the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 is not less than 60mm. By reserving an installation gap D2 with a size of 25mm, the limiting gap D1 can be reduced to 25mm, effectively limiting the swaying or tilting of the hanger 5.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting gap D1 gradually increases along the direction perpendicular to the support surface 100 from near the support surface 100 to far away from the support surface 100.

[0040] This structure avoids the problems of the limit gap D1 opening being too small, making it inconvenient to install the hook 4, and the limit gap D1 being too large overall, resulting in poor anti-shaking and anti-tilting effects.

[0041] Preferably, the thickness of the hook 4 is 18~20mm, the dimension of the limiting gap D1 at the end near the support surface 100 is 20~30mm, the dimension of the limiting gap D1 at the end away from the support surface 100 is 30~45mm, and the distance H1 between the farthest point of the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 and the support surface 100 is 80~90mm.

[0042] The thickness of the hook 4 matches the first limiting block 53, the second limiting block 54, and the limiting gap D1. Preferably, the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 form a flared shape on the support surface with the opening facing away from the support surface. The dimension of the end of the limiting gap D1 away from the support surface 100 is at least 2mm larger than the dimension of the end of the limiting gap D1 close to the support surface 100, which facilitates the installation of the hook 4 and ensures the anti-shaking and anti-tilting effect.

[0043] Preferably, the hanger 5 further includes a reinforcing part 55, which is cylindrical and has its axis perpendicular to the support surface 100. One circular end face of the reinforcing part 55 is connected to the bracket 51, and the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 are detachably installed on the other circular end face of the reinforcing part 55.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the reinforcing part 55 is welded to the support surface 100 of the bracket 51. The circular plane of the reinforcing part 55 increases the connection strength and rigidity between the reinforcing part 55 and the bracket 51. The reinforcing part 55 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes. The first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 are installed on the reinforcing part 55 by a plurality of bolts (omitted in the figure) passing through the threaded holes (omitted in the figure), which ensures the connection strength between the first limiting block 53 and the second limiting block 54 and the reinforcing part 55, and at the same time facilitates replacement when the first limiting block 53 or the second limiting block 54 is damaged or deformed.

[0045] Preferably, the hanger 5 is provided with a plurality of suspension parts, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the bracket 51 parallel to the outer periphery of the support surface 100. Each suspension part includes a third limiting block 56 and a fourth limiting block 57, which are disposed opposite to each other on the support surface 100, and a suspension gap D3 is formed between the third limiting block 56 and the fourth limiting block 57.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the yeast is placed in a ton bag with a hanging lug for easy movement. When the yeast is hoisted and moved, the hanging lug of the ton bag is suspended in the suspension gap D3 and restricted by the third limiting block 56 and the fourth limiting block 57 to prevent displacement when the hanger shakes or tilts, and the movement of the hanging lug affects the hoisting stability.

[0047] Preferably, the suspension part further includes a limiting rod, and the tops of the third limiting block 56 and the fourth limiting block 57 are provided with mounting holes that match the limiting rod.

[0048] After the lugs are suspended from the suspension unit, the lugs are locked by the limit rod to prevent the lugs from accidentally disengaging from the suspension gap D3 and causing an accident, thus further increasing the safety of the hoisting operation.

[0049] Preferably, the limiting rod and the mounting hole can be fixed by threads, snaps, or positioning balls to prevent the limiting rod from accidentally falling off during use.

[0050] Preferably, the bracket 51 is cross-shaped and has four suspension parts, which are located at the four ends of the cross shape.

[0051] The bracket 51 adopts a cross-shaped structure, corresponding to the four hanging ears at the four corners of the ton bag, and at the same time, it is easy to determine the center of gravity of the bracket 51 for symmetrical processing.

[0052] Preferably, the distance H2 between the farthest point of the third limiting block 56 and the fourth limiting block 57 and the support surface is 70~90mm, and the size of the suspension gap D3 is 40~50mm.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the width of the bag hanging lugs is 30~40mm. This structure facilitates stable suspension and ensures stable hoisting.

[0054] Preferably, it also includes a remote controller. The moving unit 2 has wheels, which drive the moving unit 2 to move along the track 1. The first driver is a first motor, which drives the wheels to move. The lifting unit 3 is a chain hoist. The second driver is a second motor, which drives the chain hoist. The remote controller is used to remotely control the operation and stop of the first motor and the second motor.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, one end of the track 1 is located in the storage area of ​​the yeast, and the other end of the track 1 is located directly above the yeast discharge port. During operation, the worker only needs to suspend the ton bag containing the yeast on the hanger 5 and hang the hanger 5 in the hook 4. Then, the worker operates the remote control to transport the yeast along the track 1 to the top of the discharge port. The worker then opens the discharge port at the bottom of the ton bag to complete the yeast discharge. The yeast cake is placed into the cake dropping box inlet in one go. The optimized operation process reduces the labor intensity of the workers, improves safety, and significantly increases the production speed.

[0056] Other configurations and operations according to the embodiments of this utility model are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
