Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of zongzi leaf processing equipment, specifically a zongzi leaf sorting workbench. Background Technology

[0002] As an important raw material for zongzi processing, the quality of sorting zongzi leaves directly affects the quality of subsequent products and production efficiency. In the zongzi leaf processing industry, sorting is a key process to ensure product quality. With the continuous growth of market demand for zongzi leaves, large-scale and efficient sorting operations have become an urgent need for industry development. However, the current zongzi leaf sorting technology is still mainly based on traditional manual operation, which is difficult to meet the requirements of modern production and urgently needs technological innovation.

[0003] Currently, the sorting technology for zongzi leaves commonly used in the industry relies on manual operation. Its core device is a simple flat workbench, with storage areas and finished product storage areas set on both sides of the workbench. The specific operation process is as follows: workers first stack the washed and damp zongzi leaves on the workbench, then select and sort them in turn, classifying and piling them according to the size, integrity and other specifications of the zongzi leaves, and finally tying them up.

[0004] Because the washed bamboo leaves are damp, the surface moisture makes it easy for adjacent leaves to stick together. When sorting, workers need to spend a lot of time and effort manually separating the stuck leaves one by one and removing the surface moisture by wiping them straight. This process not only consumes a lot of manpower but also affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides a sorting workbench for zongzi leaves, which solves the problem that because the zongzi leaves are wet after washing, the surface moisture makes it easy for adjacent zongzi leaves to stick together. When sorting, workers need to spend a lot of time and effort to manually separate the sticky zongzi leaves one by one and remove the surface moisture of the zongzi leaves by wiping them straight. This process not only consumes a lot of human resources, but also affects production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a sorting table for zongzi leaves, including a sorting table, with a storage table and a storage table respectively arranged on both sides of the sorting table. A movable frame is movably connected inside the sorting table, and multiple sets of exhaust blocks are snap-fitted into the movable frame. Air guide pipes are connected between the exhaust blocks, and air inlet pipes are provided on the air guide pipes. Multiple sets of storage frames are slidably connected inside the movable frame, and the storage frames are located above the exhaust blocks. Multiple sets of exhaust holes are opened on the top of the exhaust blocks, and multiple sets of ventilation holes are opened at the bottom of the storage frames to cooperate with the exhaust holes. The sorting platform has a base plate at its bottom, and a motor is symmetrically installed inside the base plate. A lead screw is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Protrusions are symmetrically connected to both sides of the bottom of the movable frame, and the lead screw is threaded through the protrusions. An air extraction block is snap-fitted into the sorting platform. A foot platform is provided on the outside of the base plate, and an air pump is installed inside the foot platform. A connecting pipe connects the air pump and the air extraction block. A start switch is rotatably connected to the bottom of the foot platform. A control mechanism that works with the start switch and the air pump is integrated inside the foot platform.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom of the sorting table is provided with multiple sets of limiting plates, the limiting plates are located on both sides of the protrusion, the top of the bottom plate is provided with a slot for use with the limiting plates, and the sorting table is provided with a movable slot for use with the movable frame.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: limit blocks are provided on both sides of the storage frame, and a limit groove is provided on the inner side of the movable frame to cooperate with the limit blocks, and a protruding plate is provided on the front of the storage frame.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a control panel is provided on the front of the sorting table, and a control structure and drive mechanism are provided inside the sorting table to cooperate with the control panel and the motor.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a groove is provided in the storage platform, and multiple sets of partitions are provided in the storage platform; a storage cylinder is snapped to the front of the sorting platform; a slider is provided on the back of the storage cylinder; and a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the sorting platform to cooperate with the slider.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. By placing the sorted bamboo leaves on the storage platform, the combination of air-drying blocks and storage frames enables batch and uniform air drying of the leaves. Compared to manually straightening the leaves to remove moisture, this method saves a significant amount of time and labor, and achieves a more uniform drying effect. It also avoids the impact of residual moisture on the quality of the bamboo leaves and subsequent processing. The air extraction system, consisting of an air pump and an air extraction block, provides an effective auxiliary means for separating and pasting the bamboo leaves. Traditional manual separation is not only laborious but also easily damages the bamboo leaves. However, by utilizing the suction force, the bamboo leaves can be easily separated, reducing the breakage rate and improving the integrity and utilization of the bamboo leaves. During the separation process of bamboo leaves by suction adsorption, the bamboo leaves slide against the surface of the suction block, naturally achieving a smoothing operation. This eliminates the need for workers to manually straighten the leaves, further improving sorting efficiency. At the same time, it ensures the flatness of the bamboo leaves, which is beneficial for the subsequent binding process. The transmission structure of the motor and lead screw automates the lifting and lowering of the movable frame. Workers only need to perform simple operations to control the foot pad and start switch, allowing them to control the start and stop of the air pump with their feet, freeing their hands and allowing them to focus on the bamboo leaf sorting work. The overall operation process is more convenient and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0013] 2. The limiting plates prevent the movable frame from shifting or shaking during lifting, ensuring its smooth operation. This not only guarantees the stable placement of the bamboo leaves within the storage frame, preventing displacement and overlap due to shaking, which could affect subsequent moisture treatment and sorting operations, but also reduces wear between the movable frame and the sorting table, extending the equipment's lifespan. The limiting blocks on both sides of the storage frame cooperate with the limiting grooves on the inner side of the movable frame to achieve quick positioning and stable installation of the storage frame within the movable frame. When workers place or remove the storage frame, the limiting blocks can accurately engage with the limiting grooves, ensuring the storage frame is installed in place and preventing it from sliding within the movable frame, thus ensuring the stability of the bamboo leaf placement and processing process.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] The sorting table for zongzi leaves includes a sorting table 1, with a storage table 2 and a storage table 3 on each side of the sorting table 1. A movable frame 9 is movably connected inside the sorting table 1. Multiple sets of exhaust blocks 11 are snap-fitted into the movable frame 9, and air guide pipes 13 connect the exhaust blocks 11. Air inlet pipes 14 are installed on the air guide pipes 13. Multiple sets of storage frames 10 are slidably connected inside the movable frame 9, located above the exhaust blocks 11. Multiple exhaust holes are opened on the top of the exhaust blocks 11, and multiple ventilation holes are opened on the bottom of the storage frames 10 to cooperate with the exhaust holes. The bottom of the sorting table 1 is equipped with… The system is equipped with a base plate 4, in which a motor 16 is symmetrically installed. A lead screw 19 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 16. The bottom sides of the movable frame 9 are symmetrically connected with protrusions. The lead screw 19 is threaded through the protrusions. An air extraction block 12 is snapped into the sorting table 1. A foot platform 6 is provided on the outside of the base plate 4. An air pump 17 is installed in the foot platform 6. A connecting pipe 18 is connected between the air pump 17 and the air extraction block 12. A start switch 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the foot platform 6. The foot platform 6 integrates a control mechanism that works with the start switch 7 and the air pump 17.

[0024] Specifically, after the bamboo leaves are washed, they are placed on the storage platform 2. The motor 16 is started, and the lead screw 19 rotates, causing the movable frame 9 to rise to the top of the sorting platform 1. The storage frame 10 is then removed, and some bamboo leaves are laid flat on the storage frame 10. The storage frame 10 is then placed back into the movable frame 9 and fixed. Subsequently, the motor 16 reverses, and the lead screw 19 drives the movable frame 9 to descend to its initial position. The air inlet pipe 14 is connected to an external air supply device, and the gas is distributed to each exhaust block 11 through the air guide pipe 13. The airflow is blown upward through the exhaust holes at the top of the exhaust block 11 and the ventilation holes at the bottom of the storage frame 10, thus cleaning the bamboo leaves. The surface moisture is blown away to reduce the water content of the bamboo leaves. Workers sort the bamboo leaves on sorting table 1. When encountering bamboo leaves that are stuck together, the worker steps on the start switch 7 at the bottom of the footrest 6, which activates the air pump 17. The air pump 17 generates suction through the connecting pipe 18, which attracts the stuck bamboo leaves to the surface of the suction block 12. The worker can then separate the bamboo leaves. At the same time, the suction force is used to smooth out the uneven bamboo leaves as they slide. The sorted bamboo leaves are then placed on the storage table 3, where they are degassed. The combination of block 11 and storage frame 10 enables batch and uniform air drying of zongzi leaves. Compared with manual wiping to remove moisture, this greatly saves time and manpower, and the drying effect is more uniform, avoiding the impact of residual moisture on the quality of zongzi leaves and subsequent processing. The air pump 17 and air extraction block 12 form an air extraction system that provides an effective auxiliary means for separating the pasted zongzi leaves. Traditional manual separation is not only laborious but also easily damages the zongzi leaves. However, by utilizing the suction force, the zongzi leaves can be easily separated, reducing the damage rate and improving the integrity and utilization rate of the zongzi leaves. During the process, the bamboo leaves slide against the surface of the suction block 12, naturally achieving a smoothing operation. This eliminates the need for workers to manually straighten the leaves, further improving sorting efficiency. At the same time, it ensures the flatness of the bamboo leaves, which is beneficial for the subsequent binding process. The transmission structure of the motor 16 and the lead screw 19 automates the lifting and lowering of the movable frame 9. Workers only need to perform simple operations to control the foot pad 6 in conjunction with the start switch 7, allowing them to control the start and stop of the air pump 17 with their feet, freeing their hands and allowing them to focus on sorting the bamboo leaves. The overall operation process is more convenient and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0025] The bottom of the sorting table 1 is provided with multiple sets of limiting plates 15, the limiting plates 15 are located on both sides of the protrusion, the top of the bottom plate 4 is provided with a slot for use with the limiting plates 15, and the sorting table 1 is provided with a movable slot for use with the movable frame 9. The storage frame 10 is provided with limiting blocks on both sides, and the movable frame 9 is provided with a limiting slot for use with the limiting blocks on the inner side. The front of the storage frame 10 is provided with a protrusion.

[0026] Specifically, the limiting plate 15 at the bottom of the sorting table 1 is located on both sides of the protrusion and cooperates with the slot on the top of the base plate 4. It can accurately guide and limit the lifting and lowering of the movable frame 9. When the motor 16 drives the lead screw 19 to move the movable frame 9, the limiting plate 15 can prevent the movable frame 9 from deviating or shaking during the lifting and lowering process, ensuring the smooth operation of the movable frame 9. This not only ensures the stable placement of the bamboo leaves in the storage frame 10, avoiding the bamboo leaves from shifting or overlapping due to shaking, which would affect subsequent moisture treatment and sorting operations, but also reduces the wear between the movable frame 9 and the sorting table 1, extending the service life of the equipment. The limiting blocks on both sides cooperate with the limiting grooves on the inner side of the movable frame 9 to enable the storage frame 10 to be quickly positioned and stably installed within the movable frame 9. When workers place or remove the storage frame 10, the limiting blocks can accurately engage with the limiting grooves to ensure that the storage frame 10 is installed in place and prevent it from sliding within the movable frame 9, thus ensuring the stability of the placement and processing of the zongzi leaves. The convex plate on the front of the storage frame 10 makes it easy for workers to grip. Whether placing the storage frame 10 filled with zongzi leaves into the movable frame 9 or removing the processed storage frame 10, it provides a good point of leverage, improving the convenience of operation and reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0027] The sorting table 1 has a control panel 8 on the front and a control structure and drive mechanism for use with the control panel 8 and the motor 16 inside. The storage table 2 has a groove inside and the storage table 3 has multiple sets of partitions inside. The sorting table 1 has a storage cylinder 5 connected to the front with a snap-fit. The storage cylinder 5 has a slider on the back and a sliding groove for use with the slider is opened on the inner side of the sorting table 1.

[0028] Specifically, the control panel 8 on the front of the sorting table 1 integrates the control function of the motor 16. Through the built-in control structure and drive mechanism, the worker can directly set the lifting speed, height or start and stop of the movable frame 9 on the panel. The groove in the storage table 2 can be used to stack the washed zongzi leaves in a standardized manner. The shape of the groove can limit the stacking range of the zongzi leaves and prevent the zongzi leaves from falling onto the sorting table 1 or the ground. The multiple sets of partitions in the storage table 3 divide the table surface into independent areas. The worker can store the zongzi leaves in separate areas according to their grade or purpose. The storage tube 5 can be used to store tools needed in the sorting process, such as binding rope and scissors.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] First, the cleaned bamboo leaves are temporarily stored in the groove of the storage platform 2. The groove restricts the range of the bamboo leaves, prevents them from slipping, and guides the water out. Then, the motor 16 is started through the control panel 8, and the lead screw 19 drives the movable frame 9 to rise to the top of the sorting platform 1 for easy operation by the workers. Next, the workers take out the storage frame 10, lay the bamboo leaves flat, and put them back into the movable frame 9. The limit block and the limit groove ensure that the storage frame 10 is accurately positioned. Then, the motor 16 reverses to make the movable frame 9 descend to the initial position, ensuring that the lifting process is smooth and without deviation.

[0031] Secondly, the external air source supplies air to the exhaust block 11 through the air inlet pipe 14 and the air guide pipe 13. The high-speed airflow flows upward through the exhaust hole and the ventilation hole of the storage frame 10, and evenly sweeps the surface of the zongzi leaves. The airflow penetrates the gaps between the zongzi leaves to achieve batch dehumidification and avoid mechanical contact damage to the zongzi leaves. The air supply pressure and time can be adjusted through the control panel 8 to adapt to the drying needs of zongzi leaves under different humidity environments.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that when workers encounter sticky bamboo leaves, they can step on the start switch 7 to trigger the air pump 17. The air extraction block 12 instantly generates negative pressure to adsorb the bamboo leaves. The adsorption force makes the bamboo leaves naturally unfold, and workers can easily separate them by pulling lightly. When the bamboo leaves slide on the surface of the air extraction block 12, the adsorption force, together with the friction of the table surface, automatically smooths out the wrinkles, saving the manual shaping step.

[0033] Finally, the partition of storage table 3 divides the table surface into multiple areas, allowing workers to quickly classify and store the zongzi leaves according to their specifications (such as length and integrity). Storage cylinder 5 can be detached and installed via a slider and groove structure to store tools such as scissors and binding ropes, reducing the distance workers need to walk. After sorting, the control panel 8 is operated again to raise the movable frame 9, and the storage frame 10 is taken out for the next round of processing, forming a closed-loop workflow.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
