Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a flour lumps separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Flour is a powdery substance made from wheat. It is a staple food in most parts of northern China. Foods made from flour come in a wide variety of styles and have distinct flavors.

[0003] Existing flour lumps separation devices, such as the flour sorting sieve disclosed in utility model patent application number 202421722904.0, mainly include a sieving tank. The upper and lower ends of the sieving tank are respectively fixedly installed with a feed hopper and a forked discharge pipe. The sieve plate is rotatably installed inside the sieving tank, and the reversing plate is rotatably installed inside the forked discharge pipe for changing the flour outlet. In use, after one round of sieving is completed, the sieve plate and the reversing plate can be rotated and reversed through the reversing mechanism. With the cooperation of the vibrating motor, large flour particles blocked on one side of the sieve plate mesh and lumpy flour accumulated on the sieve plate can be discharged from the other outlet of the forked discharge pipe.

[0004] However, existing flour lumps separation devices easily produce residues after sieving, resulting in flour waste. Moreover, most of the sifted flour lumps need to be manually cleaned and removed, which is very troublesome and affects work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a flour lumps separation device that can not only automatically discharge the sieved flour lumps, saving the trouble of manual cleaning, but also blow and collect the residual flour in the device, avoiding flour waste.

[0006] This utility model discloses a flour lumps separation device, including a separation box; it also includes a feeding mechanism, a sieving mechanism, a collecting mechanism, a purging mechanism, and a discharging mechanism. The feeding mechanism is installed on the separation box to spread the flour, the sieving mechanism is installed on the separation box to sieve the flour lumps, the collecting mechanism is installed on the separation box to collect the scattered flour, the purging mechanism is installed on the collecting mechanism to purify the device, and the discharging mechanism is installed on the separation box to discharge the flour lumps. The operator pours flour into the feeding mechanism, which spreads the flour and feeds it to the sieving mechanism, which sieves the flour lumps. After all sieving is completed, the discharging mechanism is activated to discharge the flour lumps, and then the purging mechanism is activated to purify the inside of the device, allowing air and flour to enter the collecting mechanism for collection.

[0007] Preferably, the separating box includes a box body, a discharge hopper, a first discharge pipe, and a first valve. The bottom end of the box body is connected to the ground, and the inside of the box body is provided with a cavity. The top end of the discharge hopper is connected to the bottom end of the box body, and the top end of the first discharge pipe is connected to the bottom end of the discharge hopper. The first valve is installed on the first discharge pipe. The sieved flour falls into the discharge hopper. After sieving, the worker opens the first valve, and the flour is discharged through the first discharge pipe under the action of gravity.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding box, a sealing cover, a conveyor belt, two sets of electric cylinders, and a scraper. The bottom of the feeding box is connected to the top of the box body. The top of the feeding box has a feed inlet. The sealing cover is rotatably installed at the feed inlet of the feeding box. The conveyor belt is installed inside the feeding box. Both sets of electric cylinders are installed on the feeding box. The top of the scraper is connected to the bottom of the two sets of electric cylinders. When the operator opens the sealing cover, the flour is fed into the feeding box. The conveyor belt drives the flour forward. The two sets of electric cylinders are activated to adjust the height of the scraper. The scraper works with the conveyor belt to level the flour and prevent the flour from accumulating on the screening mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the screening mechanism includes a screen, a first motor, a first reducer, and an eccentric shaft. The screen is installed at an angle inside the cavity of the housing. The first motor is mounted on the housing, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the input end of the first reducer. The output end of the first reducer is connected to the input end of the eccentric shaft. When flour falls onto the screen, the screen separates the flour lumps. The flour lumps slide down the screen and gather. The first motor is started, and the first motor drives the eccentric shaft to rotate through the first reducer. The eccentric shaft strikes the screen to prevent the screen from clogging.

[0010] Preferably, the collection mechanism includes a collection pipe, a collection box, a filter element, and a handle. The collection pipe is connected to the cavity inside the box. The collection box is installed on the box and is connected to the inside of the collection pipe. The filter element is installed inside the collection box, and the handle is installed on the filter element. The flour remaining in the cavity of the box enters the collection box through the collection pipe, is filtered by the filter element, and is retained inside the filter element. After purging, the staff pulls the handle to remove the filter element and clean the collected flour.

[0011] Preferably, the purging mechanism includes a circulating fan, an extraction pipe, an air supply pipe, and multiple sets of high-pressure nozzles. The circulating fan is installed on the housing, the extraction pipe is connected between the circulating fan and the collection box, and the air supply pipe is installed inside the cavity of the housing and connected to the exhaust port of the circulating fan. The multiple sets of high-pressure nozzles are all installed on the air supply pipe. When the screen is clogged, the operator can briefly turn on the circulating fan, and the multiple sets of high-pressure nozzles will spray high-pressure gas to purge the screen and relieve the clogging. After all the flour and flour lumps are discharged, the operator will start the circulating fan, which will deliver compressed air through the air supply pipe to the multiple sets of high-pressure nozzles to purge the cavity of the housing. At the same time, the air in the collection box will be extracted through the extraction pipe to facilitate the flour entering the collection box.

[0012] Preferably, the discharge mechanism includes a second motor, a second reducer, a drive shaft, spiral blades, a second discharge pipe, and a second valve. The second motor is mounted on the housing, and its output end is connected to the input end of the second reducer. The output end of the second reducer is connected to the input end of the drive shaft. The spiral blades are mounted on the drive shaft. The second discharge pipe communicates with the cavity inside the housing, and the second valve is mounted on the second discharge pipe. When the operator opens the second valve and starts the second motor, the second motor drives the drive shaft to rotate via the second reducer. The drive shaft then drives the spiral blades to rotate, and the spiral blades push the flour lumps collected at the bottom of the screen through the second discharge pipe for discharge.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the staff pours the flour into the feeding mechanism, the feeding mechanism disperses the flour and sends it to the screening mechanism, the screening mechanism screens the flour lumps, after all screening is completed, the discharge mechanism is started to discharge the flour lumps, and then the blowing mechanism is started to blow the inside of the device, and the air and flour enter the collection mechanism for collection.
