Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seasoning processing technology, and in particular to a seasoning crushing device with foreign object detection function. Background Technology
[0002] A seasoning grinder is a mechanical device specifically designed to process various seasoning raw materials into powders or granules of a specific particle size. Its core structure typically includes a motor, grinding blades, a screen, and a feed hopper and a discharge port.
[0003] With technological advancements, people have improved upon the limited functions of traditional seasoning grinders. Existing seasoning grinders can separate the discharged product into coarse grits, fine grits, and fine powder. While this enriches the functions of the grinder after grinding, it does not treat the seasonings before grinding. When foreign objects are mixed in with the seasoning raw materials being ground, these foreign objects may be hard and irregularly shaped, such as metal, stones, or plastic. This will significantly shorten the normal service life of the equipment, increase the company's equipment maintenance and replacement costs, and seriously affect the taste of the product. This not only reduces consumer satisfaction but may also lead to consumer doubts about product quality and damage the company's brand image. To solve the above problems, we have proposed a seasoning grinder with foreign object detection function. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a seasoning crushing device with foreign object detection function, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a seasoning crushing device with foreign object detection function includes a seasoning crusher body 1. The seasoning crusher body 1 is a seasoning crusher in the prior art, and its working principle is prior art, so it will not be described in detail. A processing box 5 is provided on the side wall of the seasoning crusher body 1. The processing box 5 is provided with a processing mechanism for processing seasonings. The processing mechanism includes a conveyor belt 6 set in the processing box 5. The conveyor belt 6 is connected to the processing box 5 through two rollers. The conveyor belt 6 is a rubber conveyor belt. Figure 3 The processing box 5 shown has a drive assembly for a conveyor belt 6 and an electric tilting plate 4 on its side wall. The processing box 5 is equipped with a guide cover 7, which disperses the seasonings on the conveyor belt 6. The upper end of the guide cover 7 is connected to a first feed hopper 9 through a feed pipe 8. The processing box 5 is equipped with an electric tilting plate 4, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0024] The processing box 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first truss 11. The top of the first truss 11 is equipped with a light source 12 and an optical sensor 13. The optical sensor 13 is existing technology in the industrial field. When a foreign object enters the detection area, the intensity, color or pattern of the reflected light will change. The side wall of the seasoning crusher body 1 is equipped with a controller 2 and an alarm light 3. The lower end of the processing box 5 is connected to a discharge pipe 10.
[0025] The feed pipe 8 is equipped with a lifting mechanism for lifting seasonings. The lifting mechanism includes a connecting pipe 17 connected to the feed pipe 8.

The side wall of the feeding pipe 16 is connected to a second feeding hopper 19 through a guide pipe 20. As shown in the figure, the feeding pipe 16 is provided with a driving assembly for the dragon conveying rod 18.
[0026] In this utility model, a horizontal plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the processing box 5, and the horizontal plate 21 is fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 16, making the feeding pipe 16 more stable.
[0027] In this utility model, the lower end of the processing box 5 is fixedly connected with a plurality of first support legs 22, and the lower end of the horizontal plate 21 is fixedly connected with a second support leg 23, making the processing box 5 and the feeding pipe 16 more stable.
[0028] In this utility model, a second truss 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the processing box 5. A metal detector 15 is installed at the top inside the second truss 14. The metal detector 15 is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a metal foreign object passes through the detection coil of the metal detector 15, an induced current will be generated in the metal object. This induced current will generate a secondary magnetic field, which will be detected by the detector. The type of foreign object can be further detected.
[0029] In this utility model, two guide plates 24 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing box 5, so that foreign materials can be discharged from the processing box 5 more thoroughly. Both the first feed hopper 9 and the second feed hopper 19 are threaded with sealing caps.

The conveyor rod 18 lifts the seasoning and feeds it into the feeding pipe 8. The seasoning in the feeding pipe 8 falls onto the continuously rotating conveyor belt 6 through the guide cover 7. During the seasoning feeding process, the seasoning passes through the detection area of the optical sensor 13. The optical sensor 13 monitors the reflected light signal in real time. Once an abnormal reflected light signal is detected, it determines that a foreign object is present and issues an alarm light 3 to remind the operator. The operator stops feeding, and the controller 2 controls the electric tilting plate 4 to tilt to the desired position. Figure 5 At the indicated location, after the conveyor belt 6 rotates a certain distance, a portion of the seasoning containing foreign objects falls into the bottom of the processing box 5 and is discharged from the processing box 5. After discharge, the feeding can continue. The operator can carefully sieve the discharged seasoning. During the process, the seasoning crushing device can automatically detect foreign objects and automatically discharge them, preventing foreign objects from entering the equipment and affecting the internal structure and the taste of the seasoning.
