Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation technology, and in particular to a bucket elevator for shiitake mushroom processing. Background Technology

[0002] Bucket elevators for mushroom processing are mechanical devices specifically designed for the vertical transport of materials such as mushrooms. During mushroom processing, bucket elevators lift mushrooms from a lower to a higher position. Their efficient and stable conveying capacity ensures a smooth processing flow and improves production efficiency.

[0003] In the production and transportation of shiitake mushrooms, bucket elevators can seamlessly connect processes such as washing, sorting, and drying. For example, they can lift washed shiitake mushrooms from a low position to a sorting machine, or transport them from the drying area to the packaging area, thus automating the production process.

[0004] However, during the lifting and transportation process, the mushrooms are poured from the feed inlet onto the horizontal conveyor belt, which then transfers them to each lifting basket on the vertical conveyor belt. Because the mushrooms poured from the feed inlet onto the horizontal conveyor belt are unevenly distributed, the number or weight of mushrooms poured into the lifting baskets is relatively random. This makes it easy for mushrooms to overflow and fall during subsequent lifting, getting stuck in the gaps between components and affecting operation and lifting efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above problems by using a bucket elevator for shiitake mushroom processing. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bucket elevator for shiitake mushroom processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bucket elevator for processing shiitake mushrooms, comprising an elevator box, an elevator assembly disposed inside the elevator box, moving components evenly disposed on the elevator assembly, an elevator basket mounted on the moving components, a transport assembly disposed at the feeding end of the elevator box, an interception assembly disposed at the end of the transport assembly near the elevator basket, a pressure sensor disposed below the interception assembly, a feeding port disposed at the feeding end of the elevator box, and a discharging port disposed at the discharging end of the elevator box;

[0008] It also includes a remote control system, which is connected to the lifting component, the transport component, the interception component, and the pressure sensor via electrical signals.

[0009] Preferably, the interception assembly includes a barrier plate rotatably disposed within the lifting box, a flexible connecting plate being disposed on the side of the barrier plate near the transport assembly, and an interception motor being connected to one end of the barrier plate.

[0010] Preferably, the moving component includes a fixed plate fixedly mounted on the lifting component, the side of the fixed plate near the lifting basket is set as an inclined surface, a slider is slidably disposed on the inclined surface, and the lifting basket is fixedly mounted on the slider.

[0011] Preferably, a return spring is provided on the top surface of the slider, and an inclined plate is fixedly connected to the end of the return spring away from the slider. The inclined plate is fixedly disposed on the top of the fixed plate.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a vertical conveyor belt, with an active conveyor roller at one end and a passive conveyor roller at the other end, and a lifting motor fixedly connected to one end of the active conveyor roller.

[0013] Preferably, the transport component includes a horizontal conveyor belt, with an active conveyor roller at one end and a passive conveyor roller at the other end, and a conveyor motor fixedly connected to one end of the active conveyor roller.

[0014] Preferably, the feed inlet is located directly above the horizontal conveyor belt, and the end of the flexible connecting plate away from the barrier plate overlaps the horizontal conveyor belt.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting a moving component and a pressure sensor, when the mushrooms are continuously poured into the lifting basket until the weight of the mushrooms in a single basket reaches the target, the moving component assists the lifting basket to move diagonally downwards to abut against the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor sends a weight target signal to the remote control system. After receiving the signal, the remote control system issues a stop command to the transport component to stop the transport of mushrooms, issues an intercept command to the intercept component to prevent the mushrooms from continuing to be poured into the lifting basket, and issues a lifting command to the lifting component to replace the empty lifting basket for lifting and transport. This ensures that the weight of the mushrooms in each basket is basically the same, and avoids the mushrooms overflowing and falling during subsequent lifting, getting stuck in the gaps between the components, and affecting the lifting efficiency.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting up a barrier plate and an intercepting motor, after the remote control system receives the compliance signal, it starts the intercepting motor to drive the barrier plate to rotate upward, thereby intercepting the mushrooms falling from the transport component in time, preventing too many mushrooms from falling into the lifting basket and causing the weight to exceed the standard, avoiding subsequent overflow and causing the mushrooms to get stuck in the gaps of the component, affecting the operation, and ensuring lifting efficiency.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] To address the problem that the uneven distribution of shiitake mushrooms poured into the transverse conveyor belt from the feed inlet 8 results in a random quantity or weight of shiitake mushrooms being poured into the lifting basket 4, which can easily cause shiitake mushrooms to overflow and fall during subsequent lifting, getting stuck in the gaps between components and affecting operation and lifting efficiency, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0027] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 6The bucket elevator for shiitake mushroom processing shown includes an elevator housing 1, an elevator assembly 2 inside the elevator housing 1, moving assemblies 3 evenly arranged on the elevator assembly 2, an elevator basket 4 mounted on the moving assemblies 3, a transport assembly 5 at the feeding end of the elevator housing 1, an interception assembly 6 at the end of the transport assembly 5 near the elevator basket 4, a pressure sensor 7 below the interception assembly 6, a feed inlet 8 at the feeding end of the elevator housing 1, and a discharge outlet 9 at the discharge end of the elevator housing 1. It also includes a remote control system, which is connected to the elevator assembly 2, transport assembly 5, interception assembly 6, and pressure sensor 7 via electrical signals. When the pressure sensor 7 is subjected to the pressing pressure of the elevator basket 4, it sends a signal to the remote control system, indicating that the weight of the shiitake mushrooms in the elevator basket 4 has reached the target. After receiving the signal, the remote control system issues different commands to the transport assembly 5, interception assembly 6, and elevator assembly 2.

[0028] By setting up the moving component 3 and the pressure sensor 7, when the mushrooms are continuously poured into the lifting basket 4 until the weight of the mushrooms in a single basket reaches the target, the moving component 3 assists the lifting basket 4 to move diagonally downwards to block the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 sends a weight target signal to the remote control system. After receiving the signal, the remote control system issues a stop command to the transport component 5 to stop the transport of mushrooms, issues an intercept command to the interception component 6 to prevent the mushrooms from continuing to be poured into the lifting basket 4, and issues a lifting command to the lifting component 2 to replace the empty lifting basket 4 for lifting and transport. This ensures that the weight of the mushrooms in each basket is basically the same, and avoids the mushrooms overflowing and falling during subsequent lifting, getting stuck in the gaps between the components, and affecting the lifting efficiency.

[0029] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the interception component 6 includes a barrier plate 601 rotatably disposed inside the lifting box 1. A flexible connecting plate 603 is disposed on the side of the barrier plate 601 near the transport component 5. One end of the barrier plate 601 is connected to an interception motor 602. The moving component 3 includes a fixed plate 301 fixedly installed on the lifting component 2. The side of the fixed plate 301 near the lifting basket 4 is set as an inclined surface. A slider 302 is slidably disposed on the inclined surface. The lifting basket 4 is fixedly installed on the slider 302. A return spring 303 is disposed on the top surface of the slider 302. An inclined plate 304 is fixedly connected to the end of the return spring 303 away from the slider 302. The inclined plate 304 is fixedly disposed on the top of the fixed plate 301. When the lifting basket 4 is not filled with mushrooms, there is a distance between the lifting basket 4 and the pressure sensor 7. When the amount of mushrooms inside the lifting basket 4 gradually increases, its weight will drive the lifting basket 4 and the slider 302 to slide down along the inclined surface until the lifting basket 4 touches the pressure sensor 7.

[0030] When in use, the remote control system starts the transport component 5, which transports the shiitake mushrooms on its horizontal conveyor belt 501. The shiitake mushrooms slide off the barrier plate 601 and fall into the inside of the lifting basket 4.

[0031] As the mushrooms continue to fall in, the weight of the lifting basket 4 continues to increase. The lifting basket 4 will drive the slider 302 to move downward along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 301 until the side of the lifting basket 4 touches the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 is under pressure and sends a weight target signal to the remote control system.

[0032] After receiving the compliance signal, the remote control system issues an interception command to the interception component 6, specifically: starting the interception motor 602, which drives the barrier plate 601 to rotate upward, thereby intercepting the mushrooms falling from the transport component 5 and preventing too many mushrooms from falling into the lifting basket 4.

[0033] By setting up a barrier plate 601 and an intercepting motor 602, after the remote control system receives the compliance signal, it starts the intercepting motor 602 to drive the barrier plate 601 to rotate upward, thereby intercepting the mushrooms falling from the transport component 5 in time, preventing too many mushrooms from falling into the lifting basket 4 and causing the weight to exceed the standard, avoiding subsequent overflow and causing the mushrooms to get stuck in the gaps of the components, affecting the operation, and ensuring lifting efficiency.

[0034] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the lifting component 2 includes a vertical conveyor belt 201, with an active conveyor roller 202 at one end and a passive conveyor roller 203 at the other end. A lifting motor 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the active conveyor roller 202. The transport component 5 includes a horizontal conveyor belt 501, with an active conveyor roller 502 at one end and a passive conveyor roller 503 at the other end. A transmission motor 504 is fixedly connected to one end of the active conveyor roller 502. The feed inlet 8 is located directly above the horizontal conveyor belt 501. The end of the flexible connecting plate 603 away from the barrier plate 601 overlaps the horizontal conveyor belt 501. The flexible connecting plate 603 provides a good flexible connection when the barrier plate 601 rotates, and can also prevent the mushrooms from getting stuck between the horizontal conveyor belt 501 and the barrier plate 601.

[0035] While the remote control system issues an interception command to the interception component 6, it also issues a stop command to the transport component 5 and a lift command to the lifting component 2. Specifically, the system stops the rotation of the transmission motor 504, thereby stopping the transmission of the horizontal conveyor belt 501; it then starts the lifting motor 204, which drives the active conveyor roller 202 to rotate. The active conveyor roller 202 drives the vertical conveyor belt 201 to transport the mushrooms. The vertical conveyor belt 201 lifts the baskets 4 that have reached the required weight, and then lifts the empty baskets 4 to the position for receiving mushrooms, thus commencing the transport of the next basket of mushrooms.

[0036] When the lifting basket 4 filled with shiitake mushrooms is raised to the top of the active conveyor roller 202, the lifting basket 4 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state, and the shiitake mushrooms inside fall down and fall into the discharge port 9 along the bottom surface of the lifting basket 4 which has been inverted in front of it.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the mushrooms are conveyed. The staff put the mushrooms from the previous step into the feed port 8 through the external transport structure. The mushrooms fall onto the horizontal conveyor belt 501. The remote control system starts the transmission motor 504. The transmission motor 504 drives the horizontal conveyor belt 501 to convey the mushrooms through the active transmission roller 502. The horizontal conveyor belt 501 puts the mushrooms on it into the inside of the lifting basket 4 through the flexible connecting plate 603 and the barrier plate 601.

[0038] Secondly, to determine if the weight of the shiitake mushrooms is up to standard, as the shiitake mushrooms continue to fall into the lifting basket 4, the weight of the lifting basket 4 continues to increase. The lifting basket 4 will drive the slider 302 to move downward along the inclined surface of the fixed plate 301 until the side of the lifting basket 4 touches the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 is under pressure and sends a weight compliance signal to the remote control system.

[0039] Then, the empty lifting basket 4 is replaced. After receiving the qualified signal, the remote control system issues an interception command to the interception component 6, and simultaneously issues a stop command to the transport component 5 and a lifting command to the lifting component 2. Specifically: the interception motor 602 is started, which drives the barrier plate 601 to rotate upward, thereby intercepting the mushrooms falling from the transport component 5; the rotation of the transmission motor 504 is stopped, thereby stopping the transmission of the horizontal conveyor belt 501; the lifting motor 204 is started, which drives the active conveyor roller 202 to rotate, which drives the vertical conveyor belt 201 to transport the mushrooms. The vertical conveyor belt 201 lifts the qualified lifting basket 4 and raises the empty lifting basket 4 to the position to receive the mushrooms, so as to transport the next basket of mushrooms.

[0040] Finally, the mushrooms are lifted and transported to a high position. When the lifting basket 4 filled with mushrooms is raised to the top of the active conveyor roller 202, the lifting basket 4 changes from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The mushrooms inside fall down and fall into the discharge port 9 along the bottom surface of the lifting basket 4, which has been inverted in front of it, thus completing the lifting and transport of the mushrooms.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
