Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of palm oil conveying equipment, and in particular to a palm oil conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing palm oil conveying equipment mostly uses screw conveyor mechanisms to directly transfer materials. By directly feeding palm oil into the screw conveyor mechanism, the rotation of the screw blades inside the mechanism is used to transport the palm oil.

[0003] Palm oil has a high viscosity at room temperature, and this high viscosity presents the following technical drawbacks during transportation:

[0004] 1. Untreated grease has poor flowability in the conveying channel, which can easily cause problems such as the spiral blades spinning idly and material accumulation.

[0005] 2. Solid grease is prone to adhering to the inner wall of the conveying pipeline, which will reduce the conveying efficiency and increase the difficulty of cleaning in the long run. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a palm oil conveying device that can preheat and transfer palm oil.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a palm oil conveying device, comprising: a conveying channel and a spiral conveying mechanism disposed within the conveying channel, and further comprising:

[0008] A feed pipe connected to the conveying channel, a preheating container located at the top of the feed pipe, and a heating wire located inside the preheating container;

[0009] A stirring rod that is rotated within a preheated container;

[0010] A seal that slides axially along the feed pipe and a push rod that is telescopically disposed within the stirring shaft, the seal having a closed position that abuts against the outlet end of the preheating container, and the end of the push rod being fixedly connected to the seal.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the preheating container is provided with a lifting drive block, and the top end of the push rod is connected to the bottom surface of the drive block through a rotary mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing element includes a frame body that is vertically disposed in the feed pipe and a baffle plate that is rotatably disposed on the frame body. The frame body is provided with a guide hole that communicates with the conveying channel, and the baffle plate is fixedly connected to the push rod and has a sealing state that blocks the guide hole.

[0013] Preferably, the edge of the baffle plate is provided with a scraper plate that keeps in contact with the inner wall of the feed pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the edge of the stirring plate is provided with a scraper plate that keeps in contact with the inner wall of the preheating container.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the stirring shaft is provided with a scraper plate three that keeps in contact with the bottom surface of the preheating container.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom surface of the drive block is provided with a bearing, and the inner ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the push rod.

[0017] Preferably, a heating wire is provided on the outer wall of the feed pipe.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0019] 1. By combining the heating wire inside the preheating container with the rotating stirring rod, uniform heating is completed before the material enters the conveying channel. When the stirring rod rotates, it drives the scraper to continuously scrape the inner wall and bottom of the container, effectively reducing the local clumping of solid oil during the preheating stage, improving the fluidity of the oil, and reducing the problem of the spiral blade spinning or clogging due to uneven material viscosity during subsequent conveying.

[0020] 2. The rigid connection structure of push rod and lifting seal is adopted. When the drive block drives the push rod to rise and fall, it can control the opening and closing state of the preheating container outlet and drive the baffle plate to rotate synchronously. This linkage mechanism realizes the opening and closing control of the feed pipe and forms a secondary seal through the cooperation of the baffle plate and the guide hole, reducing the premature seepage of unmelted grease into the conveying channel and ensuring that the material is conveyed only after reaching the predetermined temperature.

[0021] 3. A heating wire is added to the outer wall of the feed pipe to form an auxiliary heating zone, which together with the main heating zone of the preheating container constitutes a temperature compensation system. When the molten grease enters the conveying channel through the seal, the continuous heating of the outer wall of the pipe can offset the heat loss during the material flow process, maintain the optimal flow state of the grease, and reduce secondary condensation and blockage caused by temperature drop.

[0022] 4. The special design of the push rod being connected to the drive block through the rotary mechanism allows the seal to rotate synchronously during vertical lifting. This combined action causes the baffle plate to generate a shearing effect when opening and closing the guide hole, effectively breaking up any grease film that may form. At the same time, the scraper plate continuously scrapes the inner wall of the pipe, reducing the problem of high-viscosity material residue on the pipe wall. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 A palm oil conveying device includes: a conveying channel 1 and a screw conveying mechanism 2 disposed in the conveying channel 1. The screw conveying mechanism 2 includes a screw conveying shaft and a motor. By fixing the output shaft of the motor to the conveying channel 1 and the screw conveying shaft to the conveying channel 1, the screw conveying shaft can convey palm oil to the outer shell during rotation.

[0032] The conveying device in this utility model also includes:

[0033] The feed pipe 3 is connected to the conveying channel 1, the preheating container 4 is located at the top of the feed pipe 3 and connected to the feed pipe, and the heating wire 5 is located in the preheating container 4. When the palm oil enters the preheating container 4, the heating wire 5 heats the palm oil, thereby achieving the preheating of the palm oil.

[0034] The stirring rod 6, which is rotatably disposed inside the preheating container 4, is driven by a spur gear 1, a spur gear 2, and a motor 2. The spur gear 1 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 6, and the spur gear 2 is rotatably connected to the preheating container 4. The spur gear 1 meshes with the spur gear 2. The output shaft of the motor 2, which is fixedly connected to the preheating container 4, is fixedly connected to the spur gear 2, so that the spur gear 2 drives the spur gear 1 to drive the stirring rod 6 to rotate, thereby preheating the palm oil during the stirring process. The sealing element 7, which slides axially along the feed pipe 3, and the push rod 8, which is telescopically disposed inside the stirring shaft, are also present. The sealing element 7 has a closed position that abuts against the outlet end of the preheating container 4, and the end of the push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the sealing element 7. The sealing element 7 can seal the outlet.

[0035] Specifically, the sealing element 7 includes a frame 10 vertically mounted within the feed pipe 3 and a baffle plate 11 rotatably mounted on the frame 10. The frame 10 has a guide hole 12 communicating with the conveying channel 1. The baffle plate 11 is fixedly connected to the push rod 8 and has a sealing state that blocks the guide hole 12. The top of the preheating container 4 is provided with a lifting drive block 9. The top of the push rod 8 is connected to the bottom surface of the drive block 9 through a rotary mechanism. Therefore, by rotating the push rod 8, the guide hole 12 can be opened, and palm oil is discharged through the guide hole 12 into the screw conveyor mechanism 2 for conveying. The drive block 9 is driven by an electric push rod, which is fixedly connected to the preheating container 4. The push block is fixedly connected to the push rod 8 at one end and to the drive block 9 at the other end, which enables the drive block 9 to move. The push block is driven by spur gear 3, spur gear 4 and motor 3. Spur gear 3 is fixedly connected to the push rod 8, and spur gear 4 is rotatably connected to the drive block 9. Spur gear 4 meshes with spur gear 3. By using the output shaft of motor 3 fixedly connected to the drive block 9 and fixedly connected to spur gear 4, spur gear 4 can drive spur gear 3 to drive push rod 8 to rotate, thereby opening the guide hole 12. The bottom surface of the drive block 9 is provided with a bearing 19. The inner ring of the bearing 19 is fixedly connected to the push rod. The bearing 19 is used to reduce the friction between push rod 8 and drive block 9.

[0036] Specifically, the edge of the baffle plate 11 is provided with a scraper 14 that keeps in contact with the inner wall of the feed pipe 3, which is used to scrape off the palm oil on the inner wall of the feed pipe. The edge of the stirring plate is provided with a scraper 2 15 that keeps in contact with the inner wall of the preheating container 4, which is used to scrape off the palm oil on the inner wall of the preheating container 4. The bottom of the stirring shaft is provided with a scraper 3 16 that keeps in contact with the bottom surface of the preheating container 4, which is used to scrape off the palm oil on the bottom inner wall of the preheating container 4.

[0037] Specifically, a heating wire 2 18 is installed on the outer wall of the feed pipe 3 to heat the palm oil, thereby further improving the preheating effect of the palm oil.

[0038] The principle of this utility model is as follows: When palm oil is injected into the preheating container 4, the built-in heating wire 5 generates heat. At the same time, the motor drives the stirring rod 6 to rotate and agitate the oil. The scraper plates 15 and 16 installed on the stirring rod 6 maintain sliding contact with the inner wall and bottom of the container, respectively, to continuously remove the adhering substances. The preheated oil needs to enter the spiral conveying channel 1 through the vertically set feed pipe 3. At this time, the sealing element 7 is in a closed state: the flow baffle 11 seals the outlet through the guide hole 12 on the frame body 10.

[0039] When the conveying starts, the electric push rod pushes the drive block 9 downward, which drives the push rod 8 to press the seal 7 down along the axis. When the frame body 10 slides down to the position where the guide hole 12 is aligned with the conveying channel 1, the motor drives the push rod 8 to rotate through the meshing of the spur gears 3 and 4. The linkage baffle plate 11 rotates to the opening angle. At this time, the scraper plate 14 rotates with the baffle plate 11 to continuously scrape off the residual oil on the inner wall of the feed pipe 3. The preheated palm oil flows into the conveying channel 1 through the guide hole 12. The screw conveyor shaft rotates under the drive of the motor to propel the material. The auxiliary heating wire 18 on the outer wall of the feed pipe 3 performs secondary temperature control on the flowing oil.

[0040] During the closing phase, push rod 8 rotates in the opposite direction, causing baffle plate 11 to reset and seal guide hole 12. At the same time, electric push rod 1 retracts and lifts seal 7 to the initial position. Throughout the process, bearing 19 reduces the rotational resistance of push rod 8.

[0041] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
