Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Sichuan pepper processing technology, specifically a Sichuan pepper pulverizing device. Background Technology

[0002] Crushing is a common processing step in Sichuan peppercorn processing. Currently, traditional Sichuan peppercorn crushing devices typically use fixed-position crushing blades. This traditional device has the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] On the one hand, the fixed position of the pulverizer makes it difficult for the peppercorns to be cut evenly and comprehensively during the pulverizing process, resulting in low pulverizing efficiency and inconsistent pulverizing effect;

[0004] On the other hand, during the crushing process, peppercorns are easily splashed out due to the high-speed rotation of the crushing blades, which not only wastes materials but may also affect the working environment and the safety of operators.

[0005] In addition, traditional equipment is inconvenient for operators to collect the crushed peppercorns after the crushing process is completed, requiring a lot of time and effort. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a peppercorn grinding device to solve the problem of low grinding efficiency of existing grinding devices mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a peppercorn grinding device, comprising a base plate, a lifting cover and a grinding cylinder disposed on the base plate, wherein the lifting cover and the grinding cylinder are used in conjunction, characterized in that it further comprises a reciprocating plate vertically slidable on the lifting cover by a limiting plate, a grinding mechanism disposed on the reciprocating plate and located inside the grinding cylinder, and a reciprocating mechanism disposed on the lifting cover; the reciprocating mechanism is drivenly connected to the reciprocating plate to drive the reciprocating plate to move vertically back and forth.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting cover includes an electric push rod vertically mounted on the base plate and a cylindrical cover connected to the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod; the cylindrical cover is adapted to the crushing cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the reciprocating mechanism includes a vertical plate mounted on the cylinder cover and a first motor mounted horizontally on the vertical plate; the output shaft of the first motor passes through the vertical plate and is connected to an L-shaped connecting rod; a sliding groove is provided on one side of the reciprocating plate; one end of the connecting rod is located in the sliding groove and can slide in the sliding groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism includes a second motor mounted on a reciprocating plate and crushing blades connected to the output shaft of the second motor.

[0011] Furthermore, a baffle is provided at the bottom of the cylinder cover.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Improved grinding efficiency: This invention uses a reciprocating mechanism to drive a reciprocating plate to move vertically back and forth, causing the grinding blade to rotate while simultaneously moving up and down. This motion allows the grinding blade to make more comprehensive and even contact with the peppercorns, avoiding the grinding blind spots present in traditional fixed grinding blades, thereby improving grinding efficiency and enabling the peppercorns to be ground faster and more thoroughly.

[0014] 2. Prevent material splashing: The baffle at the bottom of the cylinder cover is adapted to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder. During the crushing process, the baffle can effectively block the peppercorns from splashing, reduce material waste, keep the working environment clean, and also reduce the risk of operators being affected by splashed materials.

[0015] 3. Facilitates material collection: The device employs a lifting cover structure, with the lid raised and lowered via an electric actuator. After crushing, the electric actuator is activated to lift the lid, allowing operators to easily remove the crushing cylinder and collect the crushed peppercorns.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4A peppercorn grinding device comprises a base plate 1, a lifting cover, a grinding cylinder 2, a reciprocating plate 3, a reciprocating mechanism, and a grinding mechanism. The base plate 1 has positioning holes at its edge to secure it in a suitable position using bolts, and a placement groove is formed in the center of the base plate 1. The grinding cylinder 2 is placed in the placement groove. The lifting cover is located on the base plate 1 and directly above the grinding cylinder 2. Two symmetrically placed limiting plates 12 are bolted or welded onto the lifting cover, each with a vertical sliding groove on its opposite side. The reciprocating plate 3 is located between the two limiting plates 12, with both ends of the reciprocating plate 3 positioned within the sliding grooves on the limiting plates 12, allowing it to slide within the grooves. The reciprocating mechanism is mounted on the lifting cover and is connected to the reciprocating plate 3, driving the reciprocating plate 3 to move vertically back and forth. The grinding mechanism is mounted on the reciprocating plate 3, with one end located inside the grinding cylinder 2, for grinding the peppercorns placed inside the grinding cylinder 2.

[0023] Specifically,

[0024] The lifting cover consists of an electric push rod 4 and a cylindrical cover 5. The electric push rod 4 is mounted on the base plate 1 and connected to the telescopic shaft and the cylindrical cover 5. It is used to drive the cylindrical cover 5 to move vertically. The cylindrical cover 5 is located above the placement groove and is arranged concentrically with the placement groove.

[0025] The reciprocating mechanism consists of a vertical plate 6, a first motor 7, and an L-shaped connecting rod 8. The vertical plate 6 is mounted on the cylinder cover 5, and the first motor 7 is horizontally mounted on the vertical plate 6, with its output shaft passing through the vertical plate 6 and connecting to the L-shaped connecting rod 8. A horizontal groove is provided on one side of the reciprocating plate 3, and one end of the connecting rod 8 is located in the groove and can slide within it.

[0026] A baffle 11 is connected to the bottom of the cylinder cover 5 via a vertical rod, and the baffle 11 is adapted to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 2. The crushing mechanism consists of a second motor 9 and a crushing blade 10. The second motor 9 is vertically mounted on the reciprocating plate 3, and its output shaft passes through the baffle 11 and is connected to the crushing blade 10.

[0027] The aforementioned electric actuator 4 has a self-locking function, such as an electric actuator with a self-locking brake.

[0028] Working principle of this utility model:

[0029] I. Equipment Preparation and Feeding

[0030] Initially, the telescopic shaft of the electric actuator 4 is retracted, and the cylinder cover 5 is positioned above the grinding cylinder 2. After power is switched on, the electric actuator 4 is activated, the telescopic shaft extends, and the cylinder cover 5 moves upward to its limit position, exposing the placement groove of the base plate 1. The grinding cylinder 2 containing dried peppercorns is placed into the placement groove of the base plate 1. The electric actuator 4 is then activated in reverse, the telescopic shaft retracts, and the cylinder cover 5 moves downward until it is flush with the upper end of the grinding cylinder 2. At this point, the baffle 11 is located inside the grinding cylinder 2, and the grinding blade 10 passes through the through hole of the baffle 11 and is positioned inside the grinding cylinder 2, ready for grinding operations.

[0031] II. Crushing Operation Process

[0032] The first motor 7 and the second motor 9 are started. The output shaft of the first motor 7 drives the L-shaped connecting rod 8 to rotate horizontally, and the free end of the connecting rod 8 slides in the horizontal groove of the reciprocating plate 3. When the connecting rod 8 rotates, its end pushes the reciprocating plate 3 to move up and down along the vertical groove of the limiting plate 12. As a result, the reciprocating plate 3 drives the second motor 9 and the crushing blade 10 to perform periodic vertical reciprocating motion, and the amplitude of the motion is determined by the length of the connecting rod 8 and the position of the groove. The output shaft of the second motor 9 drives the crushing blade 10 to rotate at high speed, cutting and crushing the peppercorns. At the same time, the up and down movement of the reciprocating plate 3 causes the crushing blade 10 to move along the axis of the crushing cylinder 2 while rotating, forming a composite motion trajectory of "rotation + reciprocation". For example, when the crushing blade 10 moves from the upper part to the lower part of the crushing cylinder 2, it can crush peppercorns of different heights in sequence, avoiding the accumulation of material at the bottom and making the crushing more uniform.

[0033] III. Completion of Crushing and Material Collection

[0034] After crushing is complete, first turn off the first motor 7 and the second motor 9. After the crushing blade 10 has completely stopped rotating, start the electric push rod 4, extend the telescopic shaft, and lift the cylinder cover 5. Then, remove the crushing cylinder 2 from the placement slot of the bottom plate 1 and pour out the crushed peppercorns inside. Since the baffle 11 and the cylinder cover 5 have been separated, the unloading process is smooth and there is no residue.

[0035] This utility model achieves automatic lifting and lowering of the cylinder cover 5 through the electric push rod 4, drives the pulverizing blade 10 to reciprocate through the first motor 7 and the connecting rod 8 mechanism, and combines the rotational pulverization of the second motor 9 to form a "three-dimensional pulverization" mode; at the same time, the physical blocking effect of the baffle 11 is used to prevent splashing, and finally achieves efficient, safe and convenient pepper pulverization operation.
