Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Spices are an indispensable seasoning in cooking, enhancing the flavor of dishes and possessing certain nutritional value and health benefits. The processing of spices involves grinding, crushing, and mixing them. Traditional processing equipment uses screw conveyor crushers for this purpose. However, existing screw conveyor crushers have fixed channel widths, making it difficult to adapt to spices of different particle sizes. This leads to large particles clogging or small particles being over-crushed, resulting in low uniformity of the finished product. Furthermore, the rigid extrusion structure easily causes hard friction, which not only damages the active substances in the spices but also easily causes jamming and shutdowns when encountering clumps of material, requiring frequent manual intervention and affecting continuous production.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a spice processing device for condiment production has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] A spice processing apparatus for condiment production, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a feeding rack 1 with a feed inlet 101 at the front, which is a downwardly sloping structure. A discharge outlet is located at the bottom of the feeding rack 1. A spiral disc 2 is rotatably connected to the feeding rack 1, and a sliding disc 3 is slidably connected to the spiral disc 2. Two guide rods are provided on the sliding disc 3. An adjusting screw 4 is also threadedly connected to the spiral disc 2, and is rotatably connected to the sliding disc 3. An assist rod is provided on the adjusting screw 4. A drive motor 5 is installed on the right side of the feeding rack 1, and a first gear 6 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 5. A second gear 7 is also connected to the spiral disc 2, and the second gear 7 meshes with the first gear 6. An extrusion disc 8 is slidably connected to the sliding disc 3, and springs 9 are connected between the left and right sides of the extrusion disc 8 and the sliding disc 3. The extrusion disc 8 is slidably connected to the spiral disc 2. A fixing plate 10 is connected to the upper front side of the feeding rack 1, and a rotating plate 11 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 10. A spherical assist component is provided on the rotating plate 11.

[0021] It should be noted that spices are an indispensable seasoning in cooking, enhancing the flavor of dishes and possessing certain nutritional value and health benefits. In spice processing, spices need to be ground, pulverized, and mixed. During this operation, the spice particles to be processed are first fed into the downward-sloping inlet 101 at the front of the device. The inclined structure helps the material slide naturally into the working area inside the device under gravity. Then, the drive motor 5 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 5 rotates, driving the first gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 7 and the entire spiral disk 2 to rotate. The rotating inner wall of the spiral disk 2 propels the material forward. Under the rotation of the spiral disk 2, the material is forced to follow the spiral trajectory from the feed end to the discharge port located below the unloading rack 1. When it is necessary to adjust the width of the material conveying channel to meet actual processing requirements, the adjusting screw 4 can be rotated, causing the sliding disk 3 to slide along the guide rod, thereby adjusting the radial distance between the sliding disk 3 and the inner wall of the spiral disk 2, dynamically adjusting the width of the material conveying channel. The device achieves precise control over the processing volume and degree of crushing of spices. Two guide rods ensure greater stability of the sliding disc 3 as it rotates along the spiral disc 2. When the material passes through the channel formed by the inner wall of the spiral disc 2, the sliding disc 3, and the working surface of the extrusion disc 8, it experiences tangential thrust from the rotating spiral disc 2 and radial pressure from the extrusion disc 8. This pressure, provided by the spring 9, is flexible and adaptive. When encountering larger or lumpy materials, the extrusion disc 8 can overcome the force of the spring 9 and retract towards the sliding disc 3 under the resistance of the material, preventing hard jamming or excessive crushing. After the material passes, the spring 9 pushes the extrusion disc 8 back to its original position, maintaining continuous and appropriate pressure on subsequent materials, thus ensuring uniform mixing during transport. The spices, after being transported and moderately crushed, are finally pushed to the discharge port at the bottom of the device and discharged under gravity, entering the next process. The rotating plate 11 can shield the feed inlet 101 on the feed rack 1, thus preventing dust accumulation.

[0022] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
