Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production equipment technology in the food processing industry, and in particular to a spice conveying structure. Background Technology
[0002] Spices are mostly transported manually or by simple mechanical devices. With the acceleration of industrialization and the advancement of technology, automated production lines have become a development trend, especially in the field of condiment processing. How to achieve automatic and precise transport of spices has become one of the key factors to improve production efficiency. However, due to the characteristics of spices, such as varying particle size and fragility, traditional manual or simple mechanical transport methods are difficult to meet the requirements of high precision, which limits the continuity of production and the stability of product quality.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN212044908U, which discloses a spice conveying mechanism. The mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a cutting mechanism at the front end of the conveyor belt, a feeding device on one side of the conveyor belt, and a baffle plate opposite the feeding device. A feeding gap is formed between the baffle plate and the conveyor belt. This spice conveying mechanism transports spices via the conveyor belt and cuts them using the cutting mechanism. It controls the conveyor belt speed and the cutting interval of the cutting mechanism to achieve fixed-length cutting. Simultaneously, the feeding device… The device feeds the cut spices into the feeding slot, which is positioned opposite the winding groove, thus accurately placing the spices within the winding groove. This spice conveying mechanism has a simple overall structure and can realize functions such as spice conveying, fixed-length cutting, and precise feeding into the winding groove, which well meets the usage requirements of incense coil machines for spice conveying mechanisms. However, when using this device, because the raw spices are of uneven size, the conveyed raw spices are still of uneven size due to the conveying via a conveyor belt without a filtering device, resulting in reduced conveying accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a spice conveying structure, which aims to improve the problem of reduced conveying accuracy caused by the uneven size of spices and the lack of a filtering device in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a spice conveying structure, comprising a support frame, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the top left side of the support frame, a protective shell fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate, a support frame fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the protective shell, a vibration motor fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the support frame, two filter screens fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a conveying channel fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the protective shell, a baffle rotatably connected inside the conveying channel, a motor fixedly connected to the front side of the conveying channel, a spiral pusher fixedly connected to the right side of the conveying channel, a discharge port opened at the bottom right side of the spiral pusher, a conveyor belt arranged on the right side of the support frame, a motor fixedly connected to the front right end of the conveyor belt, and a disassembly mechanism arranged on the top right side of the support frame.
[0006] The above technical solution involves placing spices on a filter screen. A vibrating motor causes the support frame to vibrate, causing the raw materials to bounce on the filter screen and undergo preliminary screening. The spice particles pass through the filter screen and fall to the bottom of the protective shell. The spices at the bottom are conveyed through a conveyor channel. Motor 1 drives the baffle to rotate, which controls the speed at which the spices enter the spiral pusher. In the spiral pusher, the rotation speed can be adjusted as needed, thereby improving the accuracy of spice conveying and the uniform discharge of spices. A conveyor belt is set on the right side of the support frame. When Motor 2 at the front right end of the conveyor belt rotates, it drives the conveyor belt to carry out the transportation work and convey the spices out.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The disassembly mechanism includes two connecting plates, the left sides of which are respectively fixedly connected to the right sides of the two filter screens. The top right side of the support frame has two grooves, and the upper and lower sides of the two grooves are provided with round holes. The upper and lower sides of the connecting plates are fixedly connected with springs, and the tops of the multiple springs are fixedly connected with locking blocks.
[0009] The above technical solution allows for the following installation steps: During installation, the connecting plate is aligned and pushed against the support frame. The spring is compressed and contracts, causing the locking block to contact the edge of the groove and engage under the elastic force. It then slides into the round hole to achieve a stable engagement. During disassembly, the connecting plate is pulled outward, causing the spring to change from compression to extension. The locking block exits from the round hole and moves out of the groove, thus enabling quick installation, disassembly, and cleaning of the filter screen.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The bottom left and right sides of the spiral pusher are fixedly connected to support rod 1, and the bottom of the motor 1 is fixedly connected to fixing plate 2.
[0012] Through the above technical solution: the spiral pusher relies on the support rods on the left and right sides of the bottom to increase support, and the fixing plate at the bottom of the motor further enhances its support and stability.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A lamp holder is fixedly connected to the top right side of the bracket, and a lighting lamp is fixedly connected to the top of the lamp holder.
[0015] The above technical solution effectively improves the brightness of the working area by fixing the light fixture at the top right of the bracket, making it easier to operate and observe.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] Support blocks are fixedly connected to the four corners at the bottom of the conveyor belt, and multiple anti-slip posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the support blocks.
[0018] The above technical solution, with its support blocks at the four corners of the conveyor belt and multiple anti-slip posts fixed at its bottom, can effectively prevent the machine from shifting during startup and operation.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The bottom of the second motor is fixedly connected to a support plate, and the bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected to two second support rods. The bottoms of the two second support rods are fixedly connected to the front right end of the conveyor belt.
[0021] Through the above technical solution, the second motor, with the help of the bottom support plate and the two support rods connected to the bottom of the support plate, is firmly fixed to the front right end of the conveyor belt, which greatly enhances its stability and support.
[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0023] The bottom front and rear sides of the conveyor belt are fixedly connected with connecting rods, both of which are rounded.
[0024] The above technical solution involves using a smooth-designed connecting rod on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the conveyor belt to connect to the support legs, ensuring the stability of the structural connection.
[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0026] A fixing block is fixedly connected to the right side of each of the two connecting plates, and a pull ring is fixedly connected to the right side of each of the two fixing blocks.
[0027] The above technical solution involves connecting the fixing blocks on the right side of the two connecting plates to the pull rings, making it easy to pull the connecting plates when needed, facilitating installation, disassembly, and cleaning.
[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. In this utility model, a vibrating motor causes the support frame to vibrate on the spice filter screen, causing the raw materials to jump on the filter screen and undergo preliminary screening. The spice particles pass through the filter screen and fall to the bottom of the protective shell. The spices that fall to the bottom are conveyed through the conveying channel. The motor drives the baffle to rotate, which can control the speed at which the spices enter the spiral pusher. In the spiral pusher, the rotation speed can be adjusted according to the needs, thereby improving the accuracy of spice conveying and the uniform discharge of spices.
[0030] 2. In this utility model, during installation, after aligning the connecting plate with the position, push it towards the support frame. The spring is compressed and contracts, and the locking block touches the edge of the groove and is locked in under the action of elasticity. Then, it slides into the round hole to achieve a stable engagement. During disassembly, pull the connecting plate outward, and the spring changes from compression to extension. The locking block exits from the round hole and moves out of the groove, thereby quickly installing and disassembling the filter screen for cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0044] Specifically, the spiral pusher 11 is supported by the support rods 15 on the left and right sides of the bottom, and the fixing plate 16 at the bottom of the motor 10 further enhances its support and stability. The lighting lamp 18 fixed at the top of the lamp holder 17 on the right side of the bracket 1 effectively improves the brightness of the working area, making it easier to operate and observe. The support blocks 19 at the four corners of the bottom of the conveyor belt 13 and the multiple anti-slip columns 20 fixed at the bottom can effectively prevent the machine from shifting during startup and operation, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment operation.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A support plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of motor 21. Two support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of support plate 21. The bottom of the two support rods 22 is fixedly connected to the front right end of conveyor belt 13 to increase the support of motor 214. Connecting rods 23 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bottom of conveyor belt 13. Both connecting rods 23 are smooth and are used to connect the support legs of conveyor belt 13. Fixing blocks 24 are fixedly connected to the right side of the two connecting plates 203. Pull rings 25 are fixedly connected to the right side of the two fixing blocks 24 to facilitate pulling the connecting plates 203.
[0046] Specifically, motor 14 is securely fixed to the front right end of conveyor belt 13 by means of the bottom support plate 21 and the two support rods 22 connected to the bottom of the support plate 21, which greatly enhances its stability and support force and ensures the smooth operation of motor 14. The connecting rods 23 on the front and rear sides of the bottom of conveyor belt 13 are connected to the support legs with a smooth design to ensure the stability of the structural connection. The fixing block 24 on the right side of the two connecting plates 203 is connected to the pull ring 25, which makes it easy to pull the connecting plate 203 when needed, and facilitates installation, disassembly and cleaning.
[0047] Working principle: During operation, the spice raw materials are placed on the filter screen 7 at the top of the support frame 5. The vibration motor 6 is started, causing the support frame 5 to vibrate, which causes the raw materials to jump on the filter screen 7 and undergo preliminary screening. Impurities and large pieces are left on the filter screen 7, while qualified spice particles fall through the filter screen 7 to the bottom of the protective shell 4. The spice falling to the bottom passes through the conveyor channel 8. The motor 10 drives the baffle 9 to rotate, which can control the speed at which the spice enters the spiral pusher 11. In the spiral pusher 11, the rotation speed is adjusted as needed to quickly push the spice to the discharge port 12. The spice falls from the discharge port 12 onto the conveyor belt 13. The motor 2 14 drives the conveyor belt 13 to rotate, thereby transporting the spice to the designated position.
[0048] Furthermore, when installing the filter screen 7, align the connecting plate 203 with the corresponding position on the top right side of the support frame 5, and push the connecting plate 203 closer to the support frame 5. At this time, the springs 204 on the upper and lower sides of the connecting plate 203 are compressed and contracted. The locking block 205 on the spring 204 contacts the edge of the groove 201 and is locked into the groove 201 under the elastic force of the spring 204. Then, it slides further into the round holes 202 on the upper and lower sides of the groove 201. Due to the limiting effect of the round hole 202 on the locking block 205, a stable locking connection is formed between the connecting plate 203 and the support frame 5. Pull the connecting plate 203 to make the locking block 205 exit from the round hole 202. The spring 204, which was originally in a compressed state, is further stretched and completely removed from the groove 201 after leaving the round hole 202, thereby quickly installing and disassembling the filter screen 7 for cleaning.
[0049] 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.
