Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw conveyor technology, and in particular to a screw conveyor for preventing material jamming in food raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] A screw conveyor is a machine that uses a motor to drive a screw to rotate, thus moving materials to achieve the purpose of conveying. In the food production process, screw conveyors are mainly used to transport food raw materials or finished products. They are widely used in the packaging process of the food processing industry and can also be used for waste disposal in food processing. They can convey materials at different lengths and angles according to production needs, ensuring a continuous supply of raw materials and improving production efficiency.

[0003] A typical food ingredient screw conveyor consists of a screw conveying device, a drive device, and a loading and unloading device. The screw conveying device propels the food ingredients along the trough through rotating screw blades, using the thrust of the screw surface to achieve axial conveying of the material. The drive device provides power to the screw conveying device through a motor and transmission components. The loading and unloading devices respectively realize the feeding and discharging of the food ingredients.

[0004] In existing technologies, some screw conveyors have complex internal structures with numerous dead corners and gaps. Conventional cleaning methods struggle to reach every corner of the conveyor, leading to the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms from residual food ingredients. This not only affects the quality of subsequent ingredients but also easily causes food safety issues. During food transportation, various impurities, such as food debris and dust, easily adhere to the conveying surface of the screw conveyor. Due to the lack of an effective cleaning structure, these impurities are difficult to remove completely. As the transportation process continues, they further contaminate the food ingredients. Therefore, an anti-jamming screw conveyor for food ingredients is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an anti-jamming food raw material screw conveyor, which aims to improve the problem that the inside of the conveyor of some existing devices is difficult to clean completely, and that surface impurities are not easy to clean during food transportation, making it difficult to ensure the hygiene and safety of food processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A screw conveyor for preventing food material jamming includes a support frame, a top cover threaded to the top of the support frame, a cleaning mechanism on the outside of the top cover, a feeding mechanism on the outside of the support frame, a conveying pipe installed on the outside of the support frame, multiple nozzles fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying pipe, a transport pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame, multiple drainage holes on the outside of the transport pipe, a screw plate rotatably connected inside the support frame, a transmission gear fixedly connected to the outside of the screw plate, and a drive assembly fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an anti-jamming food raw material screw conveyor, including a support frame 1, which provides installation support. The top of the support frame 1 is threadedly connected to a top cover 2, which forms a closed conveying environment. This can prevent dust, debris and other objects from entering the conveyor and contaminating the food raw materials, and ensure the hygiene and safety of the conveying process. A cleaning mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the top cover 2, and a feeding mechanism 4 is provided on the outside of the support frame 1.

[0034] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a conveying pipe 31, which delivers cleaning liquid into the conveyor, providing a transmission channel for the cleaning liquid and ensuring smooth cleaning operations. The conveying pipe 31 is externally mounted on the support frame 1, and multiple nozzles 32 are fixedly connected to its bottom. The nozzles 32 spray the cleaning liquid at a certain pressure and angle into all corners of the support frame 1, achieving a comprehensive cleaning effect and effectively removing residual food ingredients. During transport, it can be used to clean impurities from the surface of food ingredients. A transport pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1; the transport pipe 33 is the main component for transporting food ingredients. The transport pipe 33 has multiple drain holes 34 on its exterior. The drain holes 34 drain the liquid generated during the cleaning process. When cleaning food ingredients, the liquid carries impurities and flows out through these drain holes 34 to prevent accumulation in the transport pipe 33 and affecting subsequent transport operations. The support frame 1 is rotatably connected to a spiral plate 35. When the spiral plate 35 rotates, it can push the food ingredients forward in the transport pipe 33 to realize the function of transporting the ingredients. The spiral plate 35 is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 36 on its exterior. The transmission gear 36 is a key component for power transmission. The support frame 1 is fixedly connected to a drive assembly 5 on its exterior.

[0035] The drive assembly 5 includes a protective frame 51, which protects the internal drive gear 54 and transmission gear 36 from dust and moisture, extending their service life. The protective frame 51 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 1. A connecting frame 52 is threadedly connected to the top of the protective frame 51, providing an installation position for the control motor 53. The control motor 53 is externally fixedly connected to the connecting frame 52, providing stable power output to drive the drive gear 54 to rotate. The output end of the control motor 53 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 54, which is used for power transmission. The external of the drive gear 54 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 52, and the external of the transmission gear 36 is rotatably connected to the inside of the protective frame 51. The external of the drive gear 54 and the external of the transmission gear 36 are meshed with each other. By controlling the motor 53 to drive the drive gear 54 to rotate, the drive gear 54 meshes with the transmission gear 36, thereby driving the transmission gear 36. The rotation of the transmission gear 36 drives the spiral plate 35 to rotate inside the support frame 1.

[0036] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The feeding mechanism 4 includes two baffles 41. The baffles 41 restrict and guide the conveying path of food raw materials to prevent the raw materials from overflowing or accumulating during the conveying process and ensure smooth conveying. The two baffles 41 are fixedly connected to the outside of the support frame 1. The bottom of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to two limiting frames 42. The limiting frames 42 provide space for installation and movement. The far side of each of the two limiting frames 42 is rotatably connected to a side plate 43. The side plate 43 plays a role in shielding and protecting to prevent the raw materials from overflowing from the side. The bottom of each of the two limiting frames 42 is slidably connected to a picking frame 44. The picking frame 44 is used to collect and store the food raw materials during the conveying process.

[0037] A liquid collection frame 45 is slidably connected to the bottom of the limiting frame 42. The liquid collection frame 45 collects the liquid flowing down through the drain plate 46, facilitating centralized liquid treatment. Drain plates 46 are fixedly connected inside the limiting frame 42. The drain plates 46 allow liquid to flow into the liquid collection frame 45 while preventing solid raw materials from passing through, achieving solid-liquid separation. Two feed inlets 47 are fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. The feed inlets 47 are the entrances for food raw materials to enter the conveyor. Cover plates 48 are rotatably connected to the top of the two feed inlets 47. The cover plates 48 can be opened during feeding and closed after feeding to prevent dust, debris, etc. from entering the feed inlets 47, ensuring the quality of the raw materials. The bottom of the side plate 43 is snapped onto the top of the material collection frame 44. The top of the liquid collection frame 45 is supported on the bottom of the drain plate 46. The outside of the spiral rotating plate 35 is rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying pipe 33. The other end of the spiral rotating plate 35 is rotatably connected to the inside of the baffle 41.

[0038] Working principle: When working, the control motor 53 starts, and the drive gear 54 at its output end rotates accordingly. Since the drive gear 54 meshes with the transmission gear 36, the drive gear 54 transmits power to the transmission gear 36, which in turn drives the spiral plate 35, which is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 36, to rotate within the support frame 1. The protective frame 51 and the connecting frame 52 provide protection and installation foundation for the drive assembly 5, ensuring stable power transmission.

[0039] Food ingredients enter through the feed inlet 47 at the top of the top cover 2, fall through the open cover plate 48 into the transport pipe 33 inside the support frame 1, and the rotating spiral plate 35 pushes the ingredients forward along the transport pipe 33. During the process, the baffle 41 restricts and guides the material transport path, and the side plate 43 prevents the material from leaking to the side. Finally, the material falls into the picking frame 44. When cleaning is required, the cleaning liquid is sprayed into the support frame 1 through the nozzle 32 via the transport pipe 31. The cleaned liquid, carrying impurities, leaks out through the drain hole 34 of the transport pipe 33. The liquid along with the food ingredients flows into the picking frame 45 through the drain plate 46, completing the food cleaning and solid-liquid separation.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
