Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying technology, and in particular to a lotus root cleaning and conveying anti-sticking device. Background Technology
[0002] Lotus root shoots, with their unique crisp and refreshing texture, rich nutritional value, and refreshing flavor, are loved by consumers and have become a popular seasonal delicacy on summer tables. They are often eaten fresh, stir-fried, cold-dressed, or processed into various delicious foods such as pickled lotus root shoots. In the commercial processing of lotus root shoots, in order to ensure the quality, hygiene, and appearance of the product, a series of processes such as washing and cutting are usually required after harvesting. Among them, after cutting the lotus root shoots into sections of appropriate length, in order to thoroughly remove the small debris and oozing plant juice generated on the surface of the lotus root shoots and fresh cuts, and to prevent the fresh cuts from rapidly oxidizing and browning after contact with air (usually with color protection treatment), and to further ensure the overall cleanliness of the lotus root shoot sections to meet food hygiene standards, the cut lotus root shoot sections need to undergo another important process of washing (for example, through a washing machine or washing tank).
[0003] In the process of washing and conveying lotus root segments after cutting, a conveyor belt is usually used to lift the washed segments from the washing equipment or tank and transfer them to a designated container or equipment (such as a draining device or packaging machine) for the next process. However, because the surface of the lotus root segments is smooth and wet, some segments may adhere to the conveyor belt surface due to surface tension, electrostatic adsorption, or their irregular shape. When the conveyor belt changes direction or unloads, most segments can successfully detach from the conveyor belt and fall into the pre-set container by gravity or centrifugal force, but a small number of segments will stubbornly adhere to or stick to the conveyor belt surface and fail to fall as expected.
[0004] To address this issue, the commonly used solution in existing technologies is to install simple physical baffles or scrapers at the unloading end of the conveyor belt. These baffles are usually fixed plate structures with their edges close to or slightly in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt, attempting to forcibly peel off the sag segments adhering to the conveyor belt by blocking or scraping. However, the washed sag segments are wet and have a certain degree of adhesion, which causes the sag segments to still adhere to the scraper, resulting in the scraper being unable to directly remove the sag segments attached to the conveyor belt. Therefore, we propose a sag segment cleaning and conveying anti-adhesion device. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-3 The illustrated lotus root cleaning and conveying anti-sticking device includes a conveying equipment body 101, a scraping mechanism, a vibration mechanism, a moving mechanism, and an impact mechanism. The scraping mechanism is located at the bottom end of the conveying equipment body 101, the vibration mechanism is located between the scraping mechanism and the conveying equipment body 101, the moving mechanism is used to drive the scraping mechanism to move, and the impact mechanism is located on one side of the scraping mechanism. The scraping mechanism scrapes off the lotus root attached to the conveying equipment body 101, and then, with the cooperation of the moving mechanism, the vibration mechanism, and the impact mechanism, the lotus root scraped off by the scraping mechanism can be shaken off the scraping mechanism, ensuring that the lotus root can fall stably, thereby improving the convenience of lotus root collection.
[0030] The scraping mechanism includes a scraper 201, which is located at the bottom of the conveyor body 101. The top of the scraper 201 is attached to the bottom of the conveyor belt inside the conveyor body 101. A vibration mechanism is located between the scraper 201 and the conveyor body 101. As the conveyor body 101 operates, most of the tassels fall off the conveyor body 101. The tassels attached to the conveyor body 101 come into contact with the scraper 201 and are then scraped off the conveyor belt by the scraper 201, thus preventing the attached tassels from moving with the conveyor belt.
[0031] The vibration mechanism includes a fixed plate 301 and a connecting spring 302. The fixed plate 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the conveying equipment body 101. A moving mechanism is disposed between the scraper 201 and the fixed plate 301. An impact mechanism is disposed between the scraper 201 and the fixed plate 301. The connecting spring 302 is disposed between the fixed plate 301 and the scraper 201. The moving mechanism includes a cam 401 and a rotating shaft 402. The cam 401 is disposed between the scraper 201 and the fixed plate 301. The top end of the rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cam 401. A drive mechanism is provided at the bottom of 402. When the protruding part of cam 401 squeezes scraper 201, scraper 201 moves. The movement of scraper 201 stretches connecting spring 302. Then cam 401 continues to rotate, causing the protruding part of cam 401 to turn away from scraper 201. At this time, under the elastic action of connecting spring 302, scraper 201 moves in the opposite direction, so that scraper 201 vibrates during the back-and-forth movement, thereby shaking off the lotus root strips scraped off scraper 201, thus improving the convenience of lotus root collection.
[0032] The drive mechanism includes a servo motor 404. A mounting bracket 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conveying equipment body 101. The servo motor 404 is installed in the middle of the mounting bracket 403. The output end of the servo motor 404 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 402. The servo motor 404 can drive the cam 401 to rotate by working, thereby improving the convenience and stability of the moving mechanism. The servo motor 404 is electrically connected to an external power supply through an external switch, which makes it easy for the operator to control the servo motor 404 and improves the safety and convenience of operating the servo motor 404.
[0033] The impact mechanism includes an impact plate 601, which is symmetrically fixed to the side of the fixed plate 301 near the scraper 201. When the protruding part of the cam 401 rotates away from the scraper 201, the scraper 201 will move towards the fixed plate 301 under the pull of the connecting spring 302. The setting of the impact plate 601 will cause the scraper 201 to directly hit the impact plate 601 during the movement, so that the strip on the scraper 201 can be stably shaken off.
[0034] The fixed plate 301 has a limiting hole 502 on one side. A limiting rod 501 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the limiting hole 502. One end of the limiting rod 501 is fixedly connected to the side of the scraper 201 near the fixed plate 301. The connecting spring 302 is sleeved on the outer wall of the limiting rod 501. Through the mutual limiting and guiding between the limiting rod 501 and the limiting hole 502, the scraper 201 will move laterally in the horizontal direction. This allows the top of the scraper 201 to stably fit against the bottom of the conveyor belt inside the conveyor body 101, ensuring that the scraper 201 can stably scrape off the tassels attached to the conveyor belt inside the conveyor body 101. At the same time, the limiting rod 501 can protect the connecting spring 302, preventing it from being bent during compression, thereby improving the stability of the connecting spring 302.
[0035] 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.
