Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a device for grabbing ginger slices. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing industry, ginger is processed into ginger slices, which are then used to make ginger candy, canned ginger slices, ginger-flavored seasonings, and other products. In the ginger slice processing process, from taking the ginger slices out of the pickling tank, sorting and transporting the sliced ginger slices, to accurately placing the ginger slices into various processing equipment, frequent ginger slice grabbing operations are required. Traditional manual grabbing methods require workers to repeatedly reach out and grab the ginger slices for a long time, which is not only inefficient but also extremely labor-intensive, easily leading to occupational problems such as hand fatigue and muscle damage. As a result, a ginger slice grabbing device has emerged.
[0003] Existing ginger slice grabbing equipment typically involves automatically removing ginger slices from a pickling tank containing liquid. When removing the ginger slices, the liquid along with the slices must be filtered out. During the ginger slice production process, factories produce different batches of large and small ginger slices. However, the pore size of the filtration section on the grabbing device remains unchanged. This results in an inability to adapt to ginger slices of different sizes. If the filtration opening is too large, small ginger slices will flow out, reducing the number of slices grabbed. If the filtration opening is too small, large ginger slices will clog it, preventing the liquid from being filtered completely, affecting quality, and causing an overall decrease in work speed.
[0004] Therefore, a ginger slice grabbing device is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a ginger slice grasping device. By designing the grasping mechanism, the aperture of the filter can be modified to make it smaller or return it to normal. This solves the problem that during the ginger slice production process, factories produce different batches of large and small ginger slices, but the aperture of the filter part on the grasping device remains unchanged. This results in an inability to adapt to ginger slices of different sizes. If the filter aperture is too large, small ginger slices will flow out, reducing the number of slices grasped. If the filter aperture is too small, large ginger slices will block the filter, preventing the liquid from being filtered and affecting the quality. This also leads to a decrease in the overall working speed.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a workbench is included, a marinating tank is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench, and at least two gripping frames are provided above the marinating tank, the two gripping frames being symmetrically distributed.

The two springs are symmetrically distributed, the springs are located inside the L-shaped limiting plate, and the opposite ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the sides of the two limiting rods that are close to each other.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a device for grabbing ginger slices, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. When grabbing smaller ginger slices, place two fan-shaped plates inside the grabbing frame, put the L-shaped limiting plate inside the connecting plate, and pull the two limiting rods closer to each other. After the L-shaped limiting plate enters the connecting plate, release the limiting rods, and the limiting rods will be fixed inside the connecting plate. At this time, the second filter port on the fan-shaped plate is misaligned with the first filter port, reducing the aperture of the first filter port and preventing the aperture of the first filter port from being too large, so that the ginger slices will detach from the first filter port during the grabbing process.
[0017] 2. When grabbing larger ginger slices, press the two limit rods close to each other and detach them from the connecting plate. Then remove the L-shaped limit plate from the connecting plate. At this time, the fan-shaped plate will detach from the grabbing frame. At this time, the aperture of filter port one will no longer be blocked, and larger ginger slices can be grabbed. The ginger slices will not block filter port one, and the liquid will be discharged normally from filter port one. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example:
[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 The ginger slice grabbing device in this embodiment includes a workbench 1, a pickling tank 2 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, and at least two grabbing frames 3 arranged above the pickling tank 2, the two grabbing frames 3 being symmetrically distributed.
[0026] The workbench 1 is equipped with a gripping mechanism via the gripping frame 3. The gripping mechanism includes several filter ports 1 4, several fan-shaped plates 5, several filter ports 2 6, at least two connecting rods 7, at least two L-shaped limiting plates 8, a rotating rod 101, at least two connecting plates 9, several limiting rods 10, and at least two springs 11.
[0027] The top of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to several support columns 12, which are arranged in a straight line. The workbench 1 is equipped with a transmission component through the support columns 12.
[0028] When it is necessary to grab ginger slices, the transmission mechanism is first activated, and the two grabbing frames 3 are lowered into the pickling tank 2 for grabbing. After successful grabbing, the liquid grabbed along with the ginger slices will flow out through the filter port 4. At this time, if it is necessary to grab smaller ginger slices, the two limiting rods 10 are pressed together, the L-shaped limiting plate 8 is placed into the connecting plate 9, and the limiting rods 10 are released. At this time, under the action of the grabbing mechanism, the two limiting rods 10 will be locked into the connecting plate 9, and the position of the limiting rods 10 will be adjusted. When fixed, the filter port 2 6 on the sector plate 5 is misaligned with the filter port 1 4, which causes the outflow diameter to become smaller. Smaller ginger slices will not fall through the filter port 1 4, increasing the number of slices grabbed. When grabbing larger ginger slices, pull the limiting rod 10. Under the action of the grabbing mechanism, the limiting rod 10 will leave the connecting plate 9. The L-shaped limiting plate 8 can then be removed. At this time, the filter port 2 6 will no longer misalign with the filter port 1 4, and larger ginger slices will not block the filter port 1 4, allowing the liquid to flow out normally.
[0029] At this point, the size of filter port 4 was modified by misaligning and covering part of filter port 4, resulting in a smaller aperture. When the aperture of filter port 4 needs to be restored to normal, pulling the limiting rod 10 to remove the L-shaped limiting plate 8 can quickly restore filter port 4 to normal, improving the flexibility of the device and enabling it to cope with more complex actual situations. In addition, the working efficiency of the device will also increase, improving the overall working efficiency of the production line.
[0030] Several filter ports 4 are opened on the periphery of the gripping frame 3, and several fan-shaped plates 5 are symmetrically distributed. Two of the fan-shaped plates 5 are located inside the gripping frame 3 and are attached to the inner wall of the gripping frame 3. Several filter ports 6 are opened on the surface of the fan-shaped plates 5. The two gripping frames 3 are hinged by the rotating rod 101.
[0031] The diameter of filter port 2 6 is smaller than that of filter port 1 4. Filter port 2 6 is offset from filter port 1 4. The two connecting rods 7 are symmetrically distributed. The opposite sides of the connecting rods 7 are fixedly connected to the side of the two fan-shaped plates 5 that are close to each other. The two L-shaped limiting plates 8 are symmetrically distributed. One end of the L-shaped limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 7. The two connecting plates 9 are symmetrically distributed. The side of the connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the gripping frame 3. The other end of the L-shaped limiting plate 8 extends into the connecting plate 9 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 9.
[0032] Several limiting rods 10 are symmetrically distributed, two of which pass through the opposite sides of the L-shaped limiting plate 8 and are slidably connected to the L-shaped limiting plate 8. The other side of the limiting rod 10 passes through the connecting plate 9 and is slidably connected to the connecting plate 9. Two springs 11 are symmetrically distributed and are located inside the L-shaped limiting plate 8. The opposite ends of the springs 11 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two limiting rods 10 that are close to each other.
[0033] When installing the sector plate 5, pressing the two limiting rods 10 close together causes the spring 11 to be compressed, locking the L-shaped limiting plate 8 into the connecting plate 9. At this point, the two sector plates 5 will fit against the inner wall of the gripping frame 3, and the second filter port 6 will be misaligned with the first filter port 4 to reduce the aperture of the first filter port 4. Releasing the limiting rods 10 allows the two limiting rods 10 to move away from each other under the reset action of the spring 11 until they are locked into the connecting plate 9. This fixes the position of the connecting plate 9 and the L-shaped limiting plate 8, preventing them from shifting. During the movement, the ginger slices can be detached, allowing smaller ginger slices to be grabbed. Smaller ginger slices will not detach from the filter opening 4 due to its large size, thus improving the grabbing efficiency. When grabbing larger ginger slices, press the two limiting rods 10 to bring them closer together. After they detach from the connecting plate 9, remove the L-shaped limiting plate 8 from the connecting plate 9. The connecting rod 7 will then drive the two fan-shaped plates 5 to detach from the grabbing frame 3. At this time, the filter opening 4 will not be blocked, allowing larger ginger slices to be grabbed without clogging the filter opening 4, and the liquid will drain normally.
[0034] At this point, the two sector plates 5 were quickly disassembled, which improved the working efficiency of the device. This process can be completed without complicated operations, reducing the workload of the staff. At the same time, the efficiency of grasping and the efficiency of liquid discharge were also improved.
[0035] The transmission assembly includes an electric guide rail 13 fixedly connected to the top of the support column 12, an electric slider 14 slidably connected to the side of the electric guide rail 13, an electric guide rail 2 15 fixedly connected to the other side of the electric slider 14, and a guide rail 16 fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 1.
[0036] A sliding rod 17 is slidably connected to the top of the guide rail 16. The top of the sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric guide rail 15. An electric slider 18 is slidably connected to the bottom of the electric guide rail 15. A wire feeding machine 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slider 18. A wire feeding machine 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slider 18. The wire feeding machine 20 is located to the side of the wire feeding machine 19.
[0037] The second wire feeding machine 20 is equipped with a first fixed line 21, which is Y-shaped. The bottom of the first fixed line 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the two gripping frames 3 respectively. The first wire feeding machine 19 is equipped with a second fixed line 22, which is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 101.
[0038] In the process of grasping ginger slices, the electric guide rail 13 is activated first, which drives the electric slider 14 to move. Under the limiting action of the guide rail 16 on the sliding rod 17, the sliding rod 17 drives the electric guide rail 2 15 to move along with the electric slider 14 to adjust the position of the electric guide rail 2 15. Activating the electric guide rail 2 15 causes the electric slider 2 18 to slide, driving the wire feeding machine 19 and wire feeding machine 20 to move to adjust the position of the two grasping frames 3. After reaching the designated position, the wire feeding machine 19 and wire feeding machine 20 are activated simultaneously to lower the fixed line 1 21 and fixed line 2 22, causing the two grasping frames 3 to move downwards. At this time, the two grasping frames 3 are in an open state. After entering the pickling tank 2, the wire feeding machine 19 is activated. 19 drives the rotating rod 101 to move upward, and starts the second feeding machine 20, causing the second feeding machine 20 to release the first fixing line 21. At this time, because the two gripping frames 3 are hinged and are hinged by the rotating rod 101, when the rotating rod 101 is pulled upward, the bottoms of the two gripping frames 3 will approach each other until they are pressed together, holding the ginger slice. Start the first feeding machine 19 and the second feeding machine 20 to pull the second fixing line 22 and the first fixing line 21 up simultaneously. After reaching the designated position, start the second feeding machine 20 to drive the first fixing line 21 to move upward. Because the first fixing line 21 is Y-shaped and both ends are close to the tops of the two gripping frames 3, at this time, the bottoms of the two gripping frames 3 will move away from each other until they separate, and the ginger slice will fall to the designated position.
[0039] At this point, the ginger slices are automatically grabbed and placed, and the positions of the two grabbing frames 3 are automatically adjusted without manual operation, reducing human intervention and improving work efficiency.
[0040] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
