Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili processing technology, and in particular to a chili processing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the chili harvesting process, "water-soaked peppers" (peppers that have been growing for a long time and are considered "water-soaked") have a water content as high as 60-70%, significantly higher than other normal peppers in the same batch. The presence of these "water-soaked peppers" causes numerous problems in subsequent processing stages such as drying, sun-drying, and cutting.

[0003] Firstly, its high moisture content during the drying and sun-drying process reduces drying efficiency and can easily affect the drying effect of other chilies in the same batch.

[0004] Secondly, during the cutting process, the high moisture content of "water-soaked peppers" easily clogs the blades, leading to a significant decrease in processing efficiency and severely affecting the quality of the finished pepper product.

[0005] Currently, the chili processing industry lacks specialized equipment for removing "water-soaked" chilies, and the traditional method of manual selection and separate drying is widely used. Manual selection is inefficient, labor-intensive, and suffers from inaccurate selection and difficulty in scaling up operations, failing to meet the high-efficiency, high-quality production demands of the modern chili processing industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, this utility model provides a chili processing device, the main purpose of which is to classify and process chilies to improve processing efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model mainly provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] This utility model provides a chili processing device, which includes: a linear vibrating screen, a transition box, a light material processing mechanism, and a heavy material processing mechanism;

[0009] The transition box has a feed inlet on one side wall and a discharge outlet on the other side wall, with the feed inlet corresponding to the screen outlet of the linear vibrating screen.

[0010] The lightweight material handling mechanism includes a suction pipe and a cyclone separator. One end of the suction pipe is connected to the top wall of the transition box, and the other end is connected to the tangential inlet of the cyclone separator.

[0011] The heavy material handling mechanism includes a hopper, an air conveying pipe, a heater, and a fan. One end of the fan, the heater, and the air conveying pipe are connected in sequence. The hopper is located below the discharge port, and the lower end of the hopper is connected to the upper side wall of the air conveying pipe.

[0012] The lower outlet of the cyclone separator and the other end of the air conveying pipe are respectively connected to the inlet of the drum dryer, and the other end of the air conveying pipe has multiple ventilation holes evenly distributed on the pipe wall.

[0013] The purpose of this utility model and the technical problems to be solved can be further achieved by the following technical measures.

[0014] Optionally, a gate is also included, which is slidably disposed on one side wall of the transition box for adjusting the opening of the feed inlet.

[0015] Optionally, it may also include an adjusting plate hinged to the upper edge of the discharge port.

[0016] Optionally, it also includes a first airlock and a first auger mechanism, with the lower end of the hopper, the first airlock, the first auger mechanism and the upper side wall of the air conveying pipe connected in sequence.

[0017] Optionally, it also includes a second airlock and a second auger mechanism, with the lower outlet of the cyclone separator, the second airlock, the second auger mechanism and the inlet of the drum dryer connected in sequence.

[0018] Optionally, it also includes a reducing cylinder, wherein the diameters at both ends of the reducing cylinder are smaller than the middle diameter of the reducing cylinder, one end of the reducing cylinder is connected to the top wall of the transition box, and the other end is connected to one end of the suction pipe.

[0019] Optionally, a receiving box is also included, which is disposed between the discharge port and the hopper. The lower end of the receiving box has an opening, and one edge of the opening is hinged to a flap. The flap is fixedly connected to a counterweight block for driving the flap upward to fit against the opening.

[0020] Optionally, it also includes an exhaust fan and a bag filter, with the upper outlet of the cyclone separator, the exhaust fan, and the bag filter connected in sequence.

[0021] By employing the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0022] When this device is running, the linear vibrating screen pushes the dried peppers forward through vibration and spreads them evenly on the screen surface. The spread peppers then pass through the screen outlet of the linear vibrating screen to the feed inlet of the transition box and enter the transition box.

[0023] The dried chilies with lower moisture content have a lower specific gravity and are captured by the suction pipe. They are then carried by the airflow into the cyclone separator. In the cyclone separator, the dried chili material enters the drum dryer through the lower outlet of the cyclone separator.

[0024] The pickled peppers with high moisture content in the transition box have a higher specific gravity and cannot be captured by the suction pipe. The pickled peppers gradually increase on the bottom wall of the transition box and sink from the discharge port to the hopper. The hopper then enters the air conveying pipe. The fan guides the outside air to the heater and the air conveying pipe in sequence. In the air conveying pipe, the hot air mixes with the pickled peppers, which accelerates the evaporation of moisture in the pickled peppers. When the hot air carries the pickled peppers to the other end of the air conveying pipe, the evaporated water vapor is discharged through multiple ventilation holes, and the dehydrated peppers enter the drum dryer.

[0025] Through the above process, the soaked peppers and dried peppers are separated, and the soaked peppers are automatically dehydrated. Then, both types of peppers are simultaneously fed into the drum dryer, ensuring the quality and yield of the dried peppers and improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model to achieve its intended purpose, the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects according to this utility model application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. In the following description, different "embodiments" or "embodiments" do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, specific features, structures, or characteristics in one or more embodiments can be combined in any suitable form.

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a chili processing device, which includes: a linear vibrating screen 1, a transition box 2, a light material processing mechanism and a heavy material processing mechanism;

[0034] The transition box 2 has a feed inlet 3 on one side wall and a discharge outlet 4 on the other side wall. The feed inlet 3 corresponds to the screen outlet of the linear vibrating screen 1.

[0035] The lightweight material handling mechanism includes a suction pipe 5 and a cyclone separator 6. One end of the suction pipe 5 is connected to the top wall of the transition box 2, and the other end is connected to the tangential inlet of the cyclone separator 6.

[0036] The heavy material handling mechanism includes a hopper 7, an air conveying pipe 8, a heater 9, and a fan 10. One end of the fan 10, the heater 9, and the air conveying pipe 8 are connected in sequence. The hopper 7 is located below the discharge port 4, and the lower end of the hopper 7 is connected to the upper side wall of the air conveying pipe 8.

[0037] The lower outlet of the cyclone separator 6 and the other end of the air conveying pipe 8 are respectively connected to the inlet of the drum dryer 11, and the other end of the air conveying pipe 8 has multiple ventilation holes 12 evenly distributed on the pipe wall.

[0038] The working process of the chili processing device is as follows:

[0039] When this device is running, the linear vibrating screen 1 pushes the dried peppers forward through vibration and spreads the peppers evenly on the screen surface. The spread peppers reach the feed inlet 3 of the transition box 2 through the screen outlet of the linear vibrating screen 1 and enter the transition box 2.

[0040] The dried chili peppers with lower moisture content have a lower specific gravity and are captured by the suction pipe 5. They are then carried by the airflow into the cyclone separator 6. In the cyclone separator 6, the dried chili pepper material enters the drum dryer 11 through the lower outlet of the cyclone separator 6.

[0041] The pickled peppers with high moisture content in the transition box 2 have a higher specific gravity and cannot be captured by the suction pipe 5. The pickled peppers gradually increase on the bottom wall of the transition box 2 and sink from the discharge port 4 to the hopper 7. The hopper 7 enters the air conveying pipe 8. The fan 10 guides the outside air to the heater 9 and the air conveying pipe 8 in sequence. In the air conveying pipe 8, the hot air mixes with the pickled peppers, which accelerates the evaporation of moisture in the pickled peppers. When the hot air carries the pickled peppers to the other end of the air conveying pipe 8, the evaporated water vapor is discharged through multiple ventilation holes 12, and the dehydrated peppers enter the drum dryer 11.

[0042] In the technical solution of this utility model, the above process separates the pickled peppers and dried peppers, and the pickled peppers are heated to lose water. Then, the two parts of peppers are simultaneously put into the drum dryer 11, which ensures the quality and yield of pepper drying and improves the processing efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, the other end of the air duct 8 is an inverted U-shaped pipe. Multiple ventilation holes 12 are evenly distributed on the pipe wall of the outlet section of the inverted U-shaped pipe. Multiple baffles 29 are staggered in the outlet section of the inverted U-shaped pipe (the baffles 29 are inclined towards the center line of the outlet section of the inverted U-shaped pipe, and the peppers can slide down along the baffles 29) to prolong the residence time of the peppers here, so that the water vapor evaporated from the peppers can be fully discharged through the ventilation holes 12. Although the baffles 29 slow down the flow speed of the peppers and the water vapor is discharged from the ventilation holes 12, the peppers can also reach the inlet of the drum dryer 11 due to their own weight in the outlet section of the inverted U-shaped pipe.

[0044] Specifically, the entire air duct 8 is wrapped with a polyurethane insulation layer to prevent the evaporated water vapor from condensing again;

[0045] Specifically, the heater 9 includes a housing and an S-shaped steam pipe located inside the housing. The inlet of the housing is connected to the outlet of the fan 10, and the outlet of the housing is connected to the inlet of the air duct 8. Through heat exchange between steam and airflow, the temperature of the airflow is increased, thereby driving the evaporation of moisture in the chili peppers.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, a gate 13 is also included. The gate 13 is slidably disposed on one side wall of the transition box 2 and is used to adjust the opening of the feed inlet 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the opposite sides of one side wall of the transition box 2 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 14, and the gate plate 13 is slidably connected to the sliding grooves 14. The plate surface of the gate plate 13 is provided with an elongated hole 15, and the area of ​​one side wall of the transition box 2 corresponding to the elongated hole 15 is provided with a threaded hole for connecting the first bolt 16. The nut at the tail end of the first bolt 16 abuts against the plate surface of the gate plate 13 to fix the relative position of the gate plate 13 and the feed inlet 3, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the opening of the feed inlet 3, thereby controlling the chili flow rate of the feed inlet 3 of the transition box 2.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, an adjustment plate 17 is also included, which is hinged to the upper edge of the discharge port 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, specifically, the upper side of the adjusting plate 17 is hinged to the upper edge of the discharge port 4, and the left and right sides of the adjusting plate 17 are threaded to the second bolt 18 respectively. The head of the second bolt 18 abuts against the left and right sides of the discharge port 4, thereby controlling the interval between the discharge port 4 and the adjusting plate 17, thereby controlling the speed at which the pickled peppers are discharged from the transition box 2.

[0050] In a specific implementation, it also includes a first airlock 19 and a first auger mechanism 20, with the lower end of the hopper 7, the first airlock 19, the first auger mechanism 20 and the upper side wall of the air conveying pipe 8 connected in sequence.

[0051] In this embodiment, the water-soaked peppers that settle from the transition box 2 accumulate in the hopper 7, and then enter the air conveying pipe 8 through the first airlock 19 and the first auger mechanism 20. The peppers occupy the internal space of the first airlock 19 and the first auger mechanism 20, which can prevent the airflow inside the air conveying pipe 8 from leaking out of the first airlock 19 and ensure the strength of the airflow inside the air conveying pipe 8.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, it also includes a second airlock 21 and a second auger mechanism 22, with the lower outlet of the cyclone separator 6, the second airlock 21, the second auger mechanism 22 and the inlet of the drum dryer 11 connected in sequence.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second airlock 21 and the second auger mechanism 22 separate the cyclone separator 6 and the drum dryer 11 to avoid mutual interference between their gas phase spaces, making the cyclone separation process in the cyclone separator 6 more stable.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, a variable diameter cylinder 23 is also included. The diameters at both ends of the variable diameter cylinder 23 are smaller than the diameter at the middle of the variable diameter cylinder 23. One end of the variable diameter cylinder 23 is connected to the top wall of the transition box 2, and the other end is connected to one end of the suction pipe 5.

[0055] In this embodiment, specifically, if the suction force of the suction pipe 5 is too strong, a small amount of pickled peppers will also escape to the top of the transition box 2 with the airflow. However, when the pickled peppers enter the variable diameter cylinder 23, the airflow speed in the middle of the variable diameter cylinder 23 slows down, the upward thrust of the pickled peppers decreases rapidly, and they stop rising, thereby causing the pickled peppers to sink back into the transition box 2.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, a receiving box 24 is also included. The receiving box 24 is disposed between the discharge port 4 and the hopper 7. The lower end of the receiving box 24 is provided with an opening. One edge of the opening is hinged to a flap 25. The flap 25 is fixedly connected to a counterweight block 26 for driving the flap 25 to move upward to fit the opening.

[0057] In this embodiment, specifically, when there are few or no pickled peppers in the receiving box 24, the counterweight 26 will drive the flap 25 to close the opening; when there are many pickled peppers in the receiving box 24, the flap 25 will overcome the torque of the counterweight 26, causing the flap 25 to rotate downward, the opening to open, and the pickled peppers to fall automatically.

[0058] Specifically, one edge of the opening is hinged to the first side of the flap 25 via a pivot, and the counterweight 26 is fixedly connected to the first side of the flap 25 via a support rod. The counterweight 26 and the flap 25 are located on both sides of the pivot, so that the counterweight 26 and the flap 25 constitute a lever mechanism.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, it also includes an exhaust fan 27 and a bag filter 28, with the upper outlet of the cyclone separator 6, the exhaust fan 27 and the bag filter 28 connected in sequence.

[0060] In this embodiment, specifically, the exhaust fan 27 is equipped with a frequency converter to adjust the output power of the exhaust fan 27, thereby adjusting the airflow intensity in the cyclone separator 6 and the suction pipe 5, so that the suction force in the suction pipe 5 can just overcome the weight of a single dried chili pepper, but cannot overcome the weight of a single pickled chili pepper, thus achieving the purpose of separating dried chili peppers and pickled chili peppers.

[0061] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
