Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of baijiu brewing equipment, and more specifically, to a feeding mechanism for transferring koji powder during the baijiu brewing process. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional baijiu brewing, koji powder is a crucial basic raw material. Currently, the industry commonly uses two methods for transporting koji powder: bagged transport and tanker transport. Bagged transport requires a feeding mechanism to convey the koji powder to a position close to the ground, where it is packaged in bags for transport. While this method offers greater flexibility, it is only suitable for small-batch operations. Tanker transport, on the other hand, requires a feeding mechanism to convey the koji powder to a certain height above the ground so that the tanker can move under the feeding mechanism to receive the powder. Although this method allows for larger transport volumes, it limits the flexibility of koji powder transport.

[0003] Existing material feeding mechanisms are usually fixed in their layout, resulting in a single method for transporting koji powder. This makes it impossible to quickly switch between bagged and tanker transport according to actual production needs, leading to low efficiency in koji powder transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the present invention provides a feeding mechanism to solve the problem of low transfer efficiency of koji powder due to the single transfer method.

[0005] A feeding mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The discharge pipe forms a first working space between its bottom outlet and the ground to accommodate the tanker truck, and at least one snap-fit ​​protrusion is fixedly provided on the side wall of the discharge pipe in the circumferential direction.

[0007] The top of the discharge pipe is movably sleeved to the bottom of the feed pipe, and a second working space for accommodating packaging bags is formed between the bottom of the discharge pipe and the ground. The side wall of the discharge pipe has a snap-fit ​​groove corresponding to the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0008] The snap-fit ​​protrusion moves into and out of the snap-fit ​​groove, so that the discharge pipe remains connected and separated from the feed pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​groove includes a plug-in section, a transition section, and a locking section connected in sequence. The plug-in section extends downward along the axial direction of the discharge pipe from the top of the discharge pipe, the transition section extends circumferentially along the discharge pipe from the plug-in section, and the locking section extends upward along the axial direction of the discharge pipe from the transition section.

[0010] In some embodiments, a cross-shaped insert is provided inside the feed tube, and the end of the cross-shaped insert extends through the side wall of the feed tube to the outside. The portion of the cross-shaped insert extending out of the feed tube forms the snap-fit ​​protrusion.

[0011] In some embodiments, a valve port is provided on the side wall of the discharge pipe, and a knife valve for controlling the flow of material is provided in the valve port.

[0012] In some embodiments, a dust cover is fitted at the bottom of the discharge pipe, and a cavity is formed between the dust cover and the discharge pipe. A negative pressure pipe is provided on the dust cover and communicates with the cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, a flexible receiving bag is connected to the bottom of the dust cover.

[0014] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe includes a sleeve section, a body section, and a discharge section with progressively decreasing diameters from top to bottom. The top of the sleeve section is adapted to the bottom of the discharge pipe, the bottom of the sleeve section is tapered and connected to the top of the body section, and the bottom of the body section is connected to the top of the discharge section.

[0015] In some embodiments, the discharge pipe is composed of a split sleeve section, a body section, and a discharge section joined together.

[0016] In some embodiments, the valve port and the knife valve are disposed on the body section.

[0017] In some embodiments, the dust cover is disposed on the discharge section.

[0018] The feeding mechanism of this invention features a detachable connection between the bottom of the feeding pipe and the top of the discharge pipe via a snap-fit ​​protrusion and a snap-fit ​​groove. When large-volume transport of koji powder is required using tank trucks, the discharge pipe and feeding pipe can be separated, creating a first space below the feeding pipe. The tank truck can then be moved to this first working space to receive the koji powder. When small-volume transport of koji powder is required using bagged transport, the discharge pipe and feeding pipe can be connected, creating a second space below the discharge pipe. The packaging bags can be placed in this second working space to receive the koji powder. This feeding mechanism can meet the needs of both bagged and tank truck transport of koji powder, improving the transport efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding pipe 10 and a discharging pipe 20. A first working space for accommodating tank trucks is formed between the bottom outlet of the feeding pipe 10 and the ground. At least one snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the feeding pipe 10 along the circumference. The top of the discharging pipe 20 is movably sleeved on the bottom of the feeding pipe 10. A second working space for accommodating packaging bags is formed between the bottom of the discharging pipe 20 and the ground. A snap-fit ​​groove 40 is opened on the side wall of the discharging pipe 20 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​protrusion 31. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 moves into and out of the snap-fit ​​groove 40, so that the discharging pipe 20 maintains a connected state and a separated state relative to the feeding pipe 10.

[0030] In the feeding mechanism of this embodiment, the bottom of the feeding pipe 10 and the top of the discharge pipe 20 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 and a snap-fit ​​groove 40. When a large batch of koji powder needs to be transported by tanker truck, the discharge pipe 20 can be separated from the feeding pipe 10, forming a first space below the feeding pipe 10, and the tanker truck can be moved to the first working space to receive the koji powder. When a small batch of koji powder needs to be transported by bagging, the discharge pipe 20 can be connected to the feeding pipe 10, forming a second space below the discharge pipe 20, and the packaging bag can be placed in the second working space to receive the koji powder. The feeding mechanism of this embodiment can meet the needs of bagging and tanker truck transport of koji powder, improving the transport efficiency of koji powder.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the discharge pipe 20 can be movably connected to the feed pipe 10, specifically meaning that the discharge pipe 20 can move axially and rotate circumferentially relative to the feed pipe 10. The height of the first working space is greater than the height of the second working space. The specific values ​​of the first working space and the second working space need to be adjusted according to the size of the tanker and the size of the packaging bag, so they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0032] See details Figure 5In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​groove 40 preferably includes a plug-in section 41, a transition section 42, and a locking section 43 connected in sequence. The plug-in section 41 extends downward from the top of the discharge pipe 20 along the axial direction of the discharge pipe 20, the transition section 42 extends circumferentially from the plug-in section 41 along the discharge pipe 20, and the locking section 43 extends upward from the transition section 42 along the axial direction of the discharge pipe 20. When it is necessary to connect the discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 10, by moving and rotating the discharge pipe 20, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 moves from the plug-in section 41 through the transition section and enters the locking section 43, so that the discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 10 maintain a mechanical connection. When it is necessary to separate the discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 10, by moving and rotating the discharge pipe 20, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 moves from the locking section 43 through the transition section 42 and leaves the plug-in section 41, so as to disconnect the connection between the discharge pipe 20 and the feed pipe 10. The operation is simple and convenient. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​groove 40 may be designed in other conventional zigzag shapes to meet the connection and separation requirements of the discharge pipe 20 relative to the feed pipe 10.

[0033] See details Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the discharge pipe 20 has a valve port on its side wall, and a knife valve 50 for controlling the flow of material is installed in the valve port. Specifically, the knife valve 50 is rotatably connected to a corresponding position on the side wall of the discharge pipe 20 via a hinge structure, allowing the knife valve 50 to rotate relative to the discharge pipe 20 around the hinge. By rotating the knife valve 50, the flow of koji powder can be selectively blocked by entering the valve port or moved out of the valve port to allow the flow of koji powder, thereby opening and closing the discharge pipe 20 channel.

[0034] See details Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, a dust cover 60 is fitted at the bottom of the discharge pipe 20, forming a cavity 61 between the dust cover 60 and the discharge pipe 20. A negative pressure pipe 70 is provided on the dust cover 60 and communicates with the cavity 61. During the bagging process, the koji powder that escapes accumulates in the cavity 61, and is then sucked out through the negative pressure pipe 70 to prevent the koji powder from spreading and to maintain a clean operating environment.

[0035] In this embodiment, the dust cover 60 is specifically located below the valve port. A flexible receiving bag 80 is connected to the bottom of the dust cover 60. The receiving bag 80 can be adapted to packaging bags of different diameters and heights, so as to pack the powder in the discharge pipe 20 into the packaging bag.

[0036] See details Figure 3In this embodiment, a cross-shaped insert 30 is preferably provided inside the feed tube 10. The end of the cross-shaped insert 30 extends through the side wall of the feed tube 10 to the outside, and the part of the cross-shaped insert 30 extending out of the feed tube 10 forms a snap-fit ​​protrusion 31. The cross-shaped insert 30 is an integral rigid structure and has a simple structure. Firstly, the cross structure can greatly improve the deformation resistance of the feed tube 10 and prevent the feed tube 10 from becoming out of round under pressure. Secondly, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 31 formed at the end of the cross-shaped insert 30 has high strength and can ensure a reliable connection between the feed tube 10 and the discharge tube 20.

[0037] See details Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the discharge pipe 20 includes a connecting section 21, a main body section 22, and a discharge section 23 with progressively decreasing diameters from top to bottom. The gradually decreasing pipe diameter limits the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel, allowing the material to maintain or increase its flow velocity during downward flow. The top of the connecting section 21 is adapted to the bottom of the discharge pipe 10, and a snap-fit ​​groove 40 is provided on the connecting section 21. The bottom of the connecting section 21 is tapered and connected to the top of the main body section 22. A valve port and a knife valve 50 are provided on the main body section 22. The bottom of the main body section 22 is connected to the top of the discharge section 23, and the bottom of the discharge section 23 is for material discharge. A dust cover 60 is provided on the discharge section 23. The dust cover 60 has a large space in the cavity 61 between the discharge section 23 to facilitate the collection of scattered powder.

[0038] In this embodiment, the socket section 21, the body section 22, and the discharge section 23 are preferably separate structures. The entire discharge pipe 20 is formed by splicing the separate socket section 21, the body section 22, and the discharge section 23 to facilitate processing. In some embodiments, the socket section 21, the body section 22, and the discharge section 23 may also be integrally formed.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
