Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a coffee bean blending and processing control production device in the field of coffee bean production line technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing technologies for coffee bean blending and processing equipment are limited and have poor applicability. One existing technology discloses a green bean feeding device for an automatic coffee bean blending production line, application number 2024202826316, filed on February 5, 2024. This device includes a small green bean hopper frame, a green bean feeding hopper below the frame, a grate at the top of the hopper, a first discharge valve at the bottom, and a first suction air inlet below the discharge valve. The first suction air inlet is connected to a first suction fan via a pipe. The first suction fan is connected to the tops of four hoppers via a first suction pipe. The first discharge valve is connected to the first… The main feed pipe is connected to the main feed pipe, which is divided into four branch feed pipes. Each branch feed pipe is connected to the top of one of the four corresponding hoppers. The bottom of each of the four hoppers is equipped with a green bean outlet, and a green bean discharge stop valve is installed on the green bean outlet. Below the green bean outlet is a green bean weighing and batching hopper. It has the advantages of precise bean batching, accurate feeding and automation. However, it does not consider the actual need for incoming material screening and cleaning. At the same time, the hoppers are not weighed, which cannot meet the owner's dynamic management requirements for such a valuable raw material as coffee beans, nor does it consider the turnover needs during the coffee bean storage process. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coffee bean blending and processing control production device that can weigh and feed raw materials as needed, and can also handle the turnover of raw materials during storage, thereby achieving dynamic management of coffee beans.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a coffee bean blending and processing control production device, including a feeding mechanism, which is connected to a storage mechanism and a dust recovery and treatment mechanism, and the storage mechanism is connected to a batching and circulation mechanism.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are that the feeding mechanism sends coffee beans into the storage mechanism, and then the batching and circulation mechanism realizes the weighing and on-demand distribution of coffee beans. In addition, the coffee beans can be turned over and transferred regularly during the storage process. During the feeding process, the dust in the raw materials can be recovered by the dust recovery and treatment mechanism to prevent dust from escaping.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the feeding mechanism includes a feeding port equipped with a grid plate, a manual gate plate II installed below the feeding port, the manual gate plate II connected to the inlet of the elevator I via a feeding pipe, the outlet of the elevator I connected to the inlet of the vibrating screen, the main outlet of the vibrating screen connected to the inlet of the elevator II, the large and small waste outlets of the vibrating screen connected to the recycling bag II and recycling bag III respectively, the elevator II connected to the inlet of the buffer hopper I, the outlet of the buffer hopper I connected to the inlet of the airlock I, a level sensor I installed on the buffer hopper I, the outlet of the airlock I connected to the air conveying pipe I, the air inlet section of the air conveying pipe I connected to the outlet of the Roots blower I, a pressure sensor I installed on the air conveying pipe I, and the upper end of the air conveying pipe I connected to the left-hand interface of the front pneumatic hopper; the front pneumatic hopper is connected to the storage mechanism.
[0007] Coffee beans are fed in through the feeding port. When the manual gate 2 is opened, the coffee beans flow from the feeding port through the open manual gate 2 and into the elevator 1 via the discharge pipe. The elevator 1 then sends the coffee beans to the vibrating screen. After screening, the coffee beans are sent into the elevator 2. Impurities in the coffee beans are sent from the large impurity outlet and the small impurity outlet into the recycling bag 2 and recycling bag 3, respectively. The coffee beans are then sent from the elevator 2 into the buffer hopper 1. The Roots blower 1 blows the beans along the air conveying pipe 1 through the front pneumatic hopper into the storage mechanism, thus achieving screening during the coffee bean feeding process.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the storage mechanism includes multiple hoppers placed side by side, the discharge port of each hopper is conical, and each hopper except the last one is equipped with a corresponding intermediate pneumatic hopper. The left port of the intermediate pneumatic hopper is connected to the feed pipe of the hopper, the right port of the previous intermediate pneumatic hopper is connected to the common end of the next adjacent intermediate pneumatic hopper, the common end of the first intermediate pneumatic hopper is connected to the common end of the previous pneumatic hopper, and the feed pipe of the last hopper is connected to the right port of the intermediate pneumatic hopper of the previous hopper.
[0009] In this way, the coffee bean feeding process can be adjusted according to demand, with the help of a central pneumatic feeder to feed the coffee beans into the target hopper, thus achieving the distribution and feeding of multiple hoppers with only one feeding mechanism.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the batching and circulating mechanism includes a weighing sensor, one of which is installed on each hopper. A manual insert plate is installed below the discharge port of the hopper, and a pneumatic gate is installed below the manual insert plate. A flexible connection is installed below the pneumatic gate, and the flexible connection is connected to the buffer hopper two through a pipe. A level sensor two is installed on the buffer hopper two, and the discharge port of the buffer hopper two is connected to the inlet of the airlock two. The outlet of the airlock two is connected to the air conveying pipe two. The left end of the air conveying pipe two is connected to the air outlet of the Roots blower two. A pressure sensor two is installed on the air conveying pipe two. The upper end of the air conveying pipe two is connected to the common end of the rear pneumatic hopper. The left end of the rear pneumatic hopper is connected to the rear end of the air conveying pipe four. The front end of the air conveying pipe four is connected to the right end of the front pneumatic hopper. The right end of the rear pneumatic hopper is connected to the air conveying pipe three.
[0011] This allows the weighing sensor on the hopper to simultaneously determine the weight of the feed material and the current weight of the hopper. During the batching process, the material can be fed into the buffer hopper two by opening the manual and pneumatic baffles according to the set weight, enabling different varieties of coffee beans to be mixed into the buffer hopper two according to the set ratio. Moreover, multiple hoppers can be fed simultaneously, which helps to improve the batching speed. When the raw materials stay in the hopper for a long time, they can be returned to the hopper through the rear pneumatic hopper, the air conveying pipe four, and the front pneumatic hopper. This allows for the turnover and storage of materials that are not used for a long time.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the dust recovery and treatment mechanism includes a dust removal fan. The air inlet of the dust removal fan is connected to the air outlet of the dust collector. The air inlet of the dust collector is connected to the dust collection port at the top of the feeding port, the dust collection port of elevator one, the dust collection port of the vibrating screen, the dust collection port of elevator two, the dust collection port of buffer hopper one, the dust collection ports of all silos, and the dust collection port of buffer hopper two through air ducts. The discharge port of the dust collector is equipped with a manual gate plate one, and a recycling bag one is set directly below the manual gate plate one.
[0013] In this way, the dust generated during the operation of the feed inlet, silo, buffer hopper, elevator, and vibrating screen is collected by the combination of dust removal fan and dust collector. Finally, the dust is dropped into the recycling bag by opening the manual gate, thus preventing the dust from spreading and polluting the environment.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, both the feed inlet and dust collection outlet of the silo are connected by flexible hoses; this can improve the accuracy of the weighing data.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, both hoist one and hoist two are equipped with a deviation switch and a speed sensor; in this way, deviation or stall can be detected online, providing a basis for abnormal shutdown. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The storage mechanism includes multiple hoppers 31 placed side by side. The discharge port of each hopper 31 is conical. Except for the last hopper 31, each of the other hoppers 31 is equipped with a corresponding intermediate pneumatic hopper 25. The left port of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 is connected to the feed pipe of the hopper 31. The right port of the previous intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 is connected to the common end of the next adjacent intermediate pneumatic hopper 25. The common end of the first intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 is connected to the common end of the previous pneumatic hopper 24. The feed pipe of the last hopper 31 is connected to the right port of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 of the previous hopper 31.
[0022] The batching and circulation mechanism includes a weighing sensor 30, with one weighing sensor 30 installed on each hopper 31. A manual baffle 32 is installed below the discharge port of each hopper 31, and a pneumatic gate is installed below the manual baffle 32. A flexible connection 34 is installed below the pneumatic gate, and the flexible connection 34 is connected to the second buffer hopper 22 via a pipe. A level sensor 2 is installed on the second buffer hopper 22, and the discharge port of the second buffer hopper 22 is connected to the inlet of the second airlock 21. The airlock 21... The outlet is connected to the second air delivery duct 29. The left end of the second air delivery duct 29 is connected to the air outlet of the second Roots blower 219. The pressure sensor 20 is installed on the second air delivery duct 29. The upper end of the second air delivery duct 29 is connected to the common end of the rear pneumatic bucket 27.

[0023] The dust collection and treatment mechanism includes a dust collector fan 2. The air inlet of the dust collector fan 2 is connected to the air outlet of the dust collector 1. The air inlet of the dust collector 1 is connected to the dust collection port at the top of the feeding port 7, the dust collection port of the first elevator 6, the dust collection port of the vibrating screen 11, the dust collection port of the second elevator 14, the dust collection port of the first buffer hopper 18, the dust collection ports of all the silos 31, and the dust collection port of the second buffer hopper 22 through the air duct. The discharge port of the dust collector 1 is equipped with a manual gate 3, and a recycling bag 4 is installed directly below the manual gate 3.
[0024] Both the feed inlet and dust collection outlet of hopper 31 are connected by flexible hoses. Both elevator 1 (6) and elevator 2 (14) are equipped with a belt misalignment switch (5) and a speed sensor (10).
[0025] In this invention, during the processing of coffee beans 8, different varieties of coffee beans 8 need to be fed into a hopper 31 and mixed according to a set ratio.
[0026] First, coffee beans 8 of the same variety are fed into the feeding port 7. The manual gate 2 9 is opened, allowing the coffee beans 8 to enter the elevator 1 6 along the feeding pipe. The elevator 1 6 transfers the coffee beans 8 to the vibrating screen 11, where impurities are removed. The screened coffee beans 8 are then fed into the elevator 2 14, while the impurities in the coffee beans 8 are sent from the large impurity outlet and small impurity outlet of the vibrating screen 11 into the recycling bag 2 12 and recycling bag 3 13, respectively. The elevator 2 14 sends the screened coffee beans 8 into the buffer hopper 1 18, and the Roots blower 1 15 sends them along the air conveying pipe 1 23 to the front pneumatic hopper 24.
[0027] The front pneumatic hopper 24 and the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 corresponding to each hopper 31 are connected. The right passage of the front pneumatic hopper 24 is closed, and the common end and left passage are open. The right passage of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 corresponding to the target hopper 31 is closed. The common end and right passage of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 corresponding to the hopper 31 in front of the target hopper 31 are open, and its left passage is closed. The common end, left passage, and right passage of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 corresponding to the hopper 31 behind the target hopper 31 are all closed. In this way, the coffee beans 8 will flow through the front pneumatic hopper 24 and the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 in front of the target hopper 31 to the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25 corresponding to the target hopper 31, and finally fall into the target hopper 31 from the left passage of the intermediate pneumatic hopper 25.
[0028] The coffee beans 8 are directly fed into the target hopper 31 through the cooperation of the front pneumatic hopper 24 and the middle pneumatic hopper 25, thus achieving the distribution and feeding of multiple hoppers 31 with only one feeding mechanism. During the feeding of coffee beans 8 into the target hopper 31, the weight of the fed beans and the current weight of the hopper 31 can be known through the weighing sensor 30 on the hopper 31.
[0029] When it is necessary to dispense ingredients, the manual baffle 32 and pneumatic baffle 33 of the corresponding hopper 31 can be opened according to the set weight, so that the coffee beans 8 can be dispensed into the buffer hopper 22. After the set weight is reached, the baffle is closed. This process can release the coffee beans 8 one hopper 31 at a time, or multiple hoppers 31 can be dispensed at the same time, which helps to improve the dispensing speed. The dispensed coffee beans 8 are blown by the Roots blower 219 through the air conveying pipe 229 to the rear pneumatic hopper 27, and then sent through the right-hand port of the rear pneumatic hopper 27 to the air conveying pipe 328, which then transports them to the next process.
[0030] When the raw materials remain in the hopper 31 for an extended period, the manual baffle 32 and pneumatic baffle 33 of the hopper 31 can be opened, allowing the coffee beans 8 in the hopper 31 to be discharged into the buffer hopper 22. The Roots blower 19 then blows the coffee beans through the air conveying pipe 29 to the rear pneumatic hopper 27. The common end and left passage of the rear pneumatic hopper 27 are opened, while the right passage is closed, allowing the coffee beans 8 to be conveyed through the air conveying pipe 4 26 to the front pneumatic hopper 24, and then from the front pneumatic hopper 24 to the target hopper 31, thus returning the coffee beans 8 to the hopper. This allows for the turnover and storage of materials that have not been used for a long time.
[0031] Whether it's feeding, unloading, or turnover and storage, each process can only be carried out independently and cannot be performed simultaneously.
[0032] During the aforementioned feeding, unloading, and turnover process, the dust generated during the operation of the material inlet, silo 31, buffer hopper, elevator, and vibrating screen 11 is collected by the cooperation of the dust removal fan 2 and the dust collector 1. The dust is then collected by opening the manual gate 3 and falling into the recycling bag 4 to prevent dust from spreading and polluting the environment.
[0033] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: ① During the feeding process, materials can be fed into the target silo 31 according to demand, and the weight of the fed materials and the current weight of the silo 31 can be known through the weighing sensor 30 on the silo 31; ② During the batching process, materials can be fed into the buffer hopper 22 according to the set weight to achieve the material ratio, and multiple silos can be fed at the same time, which is beneficial to improving the batching speed; ③ The raw materials can return to the target silo through the rear pneumatic hopper 27, the pneumatic conveying pipe 29, the pneumatic conveying pipe 294, and the front pneumatic hopper 24. In hopper 31, this allows for the turnover and transfer of materials that are not used for a long time; ④ The elevator is equipped with a deviation switch 5 and a speed sensor 10, which can detect deviation or stalling online, providing a basis for abnormal shutdown; ⑤ A pressure sensor is installed on the air conveying pipeline to easily identify whether the fan air pressure is normal, providing a basis for stopping material feeding in abnormal situations and avoiding material blockage of the air duct; ⑥ A level sensor is installed on the buffer hopper for material shortage detection. After the material is conveyed, the corresponding equipment can be stopped after a delay, providing an effective reference for energy saving and consumption reduction.
[0034] This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Based on the technical solutions disclosed herein, those skilled in the art can make some substitutions and modifications to some of the technical features without creative labor, and these substitutions and modifications are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
