[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment discloses a chili crushing mechanism, including a discharge trough 101 and a feeding mechanism 102. The discharge trough 101 is installed at the bottom end of the feeding mechanism 102 and communicates with the feeding mechanism 102.

[0034] The feeding mechanism 102 includes a housing 103, a coarse grinding assembly 104, and a first driving device 105. The coarse grinding assembly 104 is rotatably mounted on the housing 103. The first driving device 105 is mounted on the housing 103 and its driving end is fixedly connected to the coarse grinding assembly 104. The feeding end of the housing 103 is connected to a first guide plate 106.

[0035] An exhaust system 107 is provided between the discharge port of the discharge trough 101 and the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 102.

[0036] In this embodiment, the coarse grinding component 104 installed inside the housing 103, driven by the first driving device 105, can crush the chili peppers entering the housing 103; the first guide plate 106 installed on the housing 103 can guide the chili peppers entering the housing 103, so that the chili peppers are accurately guided into the coarse grinding component 104 for grinding, and by setting the first guide plate 106, it can block the splashed chili peppers during the crushing process, preventing the chili peppers from falling outside the housing 103 and affecting the working environment of the workshop and causing waste; the exhaust system 107 can collect the irritating gas generated during the chili pepper crushing process by negative pressure adsorption, and discharge the irritating gas outside the workshop or transport it to conventional filtration equipment in the prior art for treatment; It can effectively prevent operators from inhaling harmful gases, creating a relatively safe and healthy working environment for workers, while reducing the diffusion of irritating gases in the workshop and minimizing potential impacts on other equipment and products. By setting the exhaust system 107 between the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 102 and the discharge port of the discharge trough 101, the exhaust system 107 can exert a downward suction force on the crushed chili peppers, causing them to move smoothly towards the discharge port and preventing them from accumulating and clogging in the discharge trough 101. The negative pressure can promptly remove the heat generated during the crushing process, preventing the chili peppers from expanding due to heat and forming a squeezed and sticky mass in the discharge trough 101, ensuring a smooth feeding process, improving the overall working efficiency of the chili pepper crushing mechanism, and ensuring stable and continuous operation of the equipment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the coarse grinding assembly 104 includes coarse grinding rollers 109 symmetrically rotatably mounted on the housing 103. A first transmission gear 110 is connected to the coarse grinding roller 109, and a first auxiliary gear 111 is rotatably mounted on the housing 103. The first transmission gear 110 meshes with the first auxiliary gear 111. The first drive device 105 is used to drive any one of the coarse grinding rollers 109 to rotate. In this embodiment, the first drive device 105 is a conventional drive motor in the prior art. The output end of the first drive device 105 is fixedly connected to any one of the coarse grinding rollers 109, such that the first drive device 105 drives one of the coarse grinding rollers 109 to rotate, and the first transmission gear 110 on the coarse grinding roller 109 rotates accordingly. The first transmission gear 110 meshes with the first auxiliary gear 111, transmitting power to the first auxiliary gear 111. The first auxiliary gear 111 then meshes with the first transmission gear 110 of the other coarse grinding roller 109, causing the two coarse grinding rollers 109 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. After the chili peppers enter the housing 103, the first guide plate 106 precisely guides the chili peppers to the meshing area crushing chamber between the two coarse grinding rollers 109. The counter-rotating coarse grinding rollers 109 apply extrusion and shearing forces to the chili peppers, crushing them. Under the action of gravity and the negative pressure of the exhaust system 107, the crushed chili peppers move towards the discharge port and are discharged.

[0038] In some embodiments, a fine grinding assembly 112 and a second driving device 113 are installed inside the housing 103. The fine grinding assembly 112 is disposed below the coarse grinding assembly 104, and the second driving device 113 is mounted on the housing 103, with its driving end fixedly connected to the fine grinding assembly 112. Through this two-stage crushing process, chili peppers can be processed into coarse and fine grades. First, the coarse grinding assembly 104 initially crushes the chili peppers, and then the fine grinding assembly 112 further refines them, resulting in uniformly sized chili pepper particles that can meet different processing needs, thus improving the efficiency and quality of chili pepper crushing.

[0039] In some embodiments, a second guide plate 114 is connected to the housing 103, and the second guide plate 114 is disposed between the coarse grinding assembly 104 and the fine grinding assembly 112. In this embodiment, by setting the second guide plate 114, the chili particles crushed by the coarse grinding roller 109 can be guided through the second guide plate 114 to the grinding gap of the fine grinding assembly 112 for further grinding; and the second guide plate 114 can also separate the coarse grinding and fine grinding working areas, preventing insufficiently coarsely ground material from directly entering the fine grinding assembly 112, thereby improving the grinding effect while protecting the fine grinding assembly 112.

[0040] In some embodiments, the fine grinding assembly 112 includes fine grinding rollers 115 symmetrically rotatably mounted on the housing 103. A second transmission gear 116 is connected to the fine grinding rollers 115, and a second auxiliary gear 117 is rotatably mounted on the housing 103. The second transmission gear 116 meshes with the second auxiliary gear 117, and the second drive device 113 drives any one of the fine grinding rollers 115 to rotate. In this embodiment, the second drive device 113 is a conventional drive motor in the prior art. The output end of the second drive device 113 is fixedly connected to any one of the fine grinding rollers 115, such that the second drive device 113 drives two of the fine grinding rollers 115 to rotate, and the second transmission gear 116 on the fine grinding roller 115 rotates accordingly. The second transmission gear 116 meshes with the second auxiliary gear 117, transmitting power to the second auxiliary gear 117. The second auxiliary gear 117 then meshes with the second transmission gear 116 of another fine grinding roller 115, so that the two fine grinding rollers 115 rotate synchronously in opposite directions. After the chili peppers enter the housing 103, the counter-rotating fine grinding rollers 115 further crush the chili peppers. Under the action of gravity and the negative pressure of the exhaust system 107, the crushed chili peppers move toward the discharge port and are discharged.

[0041] In some embodiments, the exhaust system 107 includes an extraction pipe and a fan 118. The inlet of the fan 118 is connected to the extraction pipe, and the outlet of the fan 118 is connected to an exhaust pipe 119. When the fan 118 is running, a negative pressure is formed in the extraction pipe, which draws dust such as capsaicin particles and irritating gases such as volatile sulfur compounds generated during the chili crushing process through the extraction pipe → fan 118 → exhaust pipe 119, and finally discharges them outside the workshop or into filtration equipment such as activated carbon adsorbers or spray towers for purification and emission in compliance with standards. In addition, the exhaust system 107 can also discharge the heat and moisture generated during the processing of chili, preventing the materials from sticking together due to high temperature and humidity. The extraction pipe is located between the fine grinding component 112 and the discharge port. The exhaust system 107 forms a local negative pressure zone, which generates a downward suction force to accelerate the falling of materials and reduce the probability of blockage in the discharge trough 101.

[0042] In some embodiments, the discharge trough 101 is inclined downwards. In this embodiment, by inclinedly setting the discharge trough 101, it is easier to guide the ground material, further increasing the discharge efficiency and discharge effect.

[0043] In some embodiments, a feed hopper 120 is installed inside the discharge trough 101, and a screen cylinder 121 is rotatably mounted on the discharge end of the feed hopper 120. The feed end of the screen cylinder 121 is connected to the discharge end of the feeding mechanism 102 through the feed hopper 120. A third driving device 122 for driving the screen cylinder 121 to rotate is installed on the discharge trough 101. In this embodiment, the third driving device 122 includes a third driving motor 124, a gear ring 125, and a drive gear 126. The fixed end of the third driving device 122 is connected to the feed trough, and the output end is coaxially fixedly connected to the drive gear 126. The gear ring 125 is coaxially sleeved on the screen cylinder 121, and the drive gear 126 meshes with the gear ring 125. When the third driving motor 124 drives the drive gear 126 to rotate, the gear ring 125 and the screen cylinder 121 rotate. Driven by the active gear 126, the chili peppers are rotated; after being ground and crushed twice, they fall into the sieve cylinder 121; when the third drive device 122 drives the sieve cylinder 121 to rotate, the chili peppers that meet the particle size requirements fall into the discharge trough 101 through the sieve holes, thereby achieving the screening of chili pepper particles; the exhaust pipe of the exhaust system 107 forms an annular negative pressure zone on the outside of the sieve cylinder 121. When the chili pepper particles come into contact with the sieve, the airflow passes through the sieve holes to adsorb the chili pepper particles, accelerating the screening of qualified chili pepper particles while preventing chili pepper dust from overflowing.

[0044] In some embodiments, a cover 123 is detachably installed at the end of the sieve cylinder 121 away from the third drive device 122. In this embodiment, the cover 123 is detachably connected to the sieve cylinder 121, thereby facilitating the operator to put the chili peppers collected in the sieve cylinder 121 that do not meet the crushing particle size requirements back into the housing 103 for grinding.

[0045] In some embodiments, a filter cover 108 is installed at the air inlet end of the exhaust pipe, and a guide slope is provided on the filter cover 108. The filter cover 108 is provided with filter holes, which can intercept large particles such as chili flakes, seeds, and skins, preventing them from being sucked into the exhaust pipe and causing damage and waste to the blower 118. By providing the guide slope, the intercepted chili particles can slide down the slope back to the discharge trough 101, preventing them from accumulating on the top of the cover.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
