[0024] Example:
[0025] Reference Figures 1-5This utility model provides a spiral automatic pepper cooking machine, including a frame 1 and a heating water tank 2 fixedly connected to the frame 1. It also includes a pepper cooking cylinder 4 rotatably mounted on the heating water tank 2, with the bottom of the cylinder submerged in the tank. A housing 3 for shielding the pepper cooking cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. A protective cover 10 is detachably connected to one side of the top of the frame 1 via screws, and the protective cover 10 is attached to one side of the housing 3 to shield the feed inlet of the pepper cooking cylinder 4. The pepper cooking cylinder 4 has a cylindrical structure with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet. A mesh is perforated through the circumference of the pepper cooking cylinder 4. The frame 1 is equipped with a device for feeding the peppers into the cooking cylinder. The water supply section inside the cylinder 4 allows hot water to enter the pepper-cooking cylinder 4 through the mesh to steam the peppers. The mesh also allows water to drain, preventing excessive hot water in the pepper-cooking cylinder 4 and maintaining a suitable water level. A spiral blade 5 is fixedly connected inside the pepper-cooking cylinder 4. When the pepper-cooking cylinder 4 rotates, the spiral blade 5 is used to convey the peppers towards the discharge port of the pepper-cooking cylinder 4. The frame 1 has an opening on one side of the inlet of the pepper-cooking cylinder 4, which facilitates the discharge end of the spiral feeder to extend into the inlet of the pepper-cooking cylinder 4, making it convenient for the automatic pepper-cooking machine to be used in conjunction with the spiral feeder. The frame 1, heating water tank 2, pepper-cooking cylinder 4, spiral blade 5, and outer shell 3 are all made of 304 stainless steel.
[0026] Specifically, during use, the pepper-cooking tube 4, spiral blade 5, and liquid supply unit work together to achieve automatic pepper cooking, automatic heating and temperature control, and automatic material discharge. Compared with traditional processing methods, this pepper-cooking machine can continuously process the required chili paste, which not only reduces the labor intensity of workers but also greatly increases production capacity.
[0027] A servo motor 41 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The pepper cooking cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the heating water tank 2. Gears 42 are fixedly connected to both the output end of the servo motor 41 and the feed inlet of the pepper cooking cylinder 4, and the two gears 42 are connected by a chain.
[0028] Specifically, during use, by starting the servo motor 41, the output end of the servo motor 41 drives the gear 42, the pepper cooking cylinder 4, and the spiral blade 5 to rotate, which can continuously turn the peppers, improve uniformity, and thus improve the cooking efficiency of the peppers. At the same time, the cooked peppers can be conveyed to the discharge port of the pepper cooking cylinder 4, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic feeding and improving the production and processing efficiency of peppers.
[0029] The liquid supply unit includes a water supply pipe 6 fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1. A control valve 7 is fixedly installed at the inlet end of the water supply pipe 6. The control valve 7 can be a butterfly valve or a ball valve. The drain end of the water supply pipe 6 extends into the heating water tank 2 and is fixedly installed with a float valve. The float valve model can be LECAN-LC-Y20220825011. The frame 1 is equipped with a temperature control component and a liquid delivery component. The temperature control component includes a temperature sensor 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame 1, and the detection end of the temperature sensor 8 extends into the heating water tank 2. The temperature sensor 8 model can be Texas Instruments-LM35 series. An electric heating rod is fixedly installed inside the hot water tank 2. The model of the electric heating rod can be FP-248 from Danyang Feipeng Electric Co., Ltd. The outer wall of the outer casing 3 is fixedly connected to a controller 9, which can be Siemens SMART1000IT or Schneider Electric Modicon-M340. The temperature sensor 8 and the electric heating rod are both electrically connected to the controller 9. The infusion device includes a water pump 21 fixedly installed on the frame 1. The inlet end of the water pump 21 is connected to the heating water tank 2 through the water pump pipe 22. The outlet end of the water pump 21 is fixedly connected to the water delivery pipe 23, and the end of the water delivery pipe 23 away from the water pump 21 passes into the pepper cooking cylinder 4.
[0030] Specifically, in use, workers connect the inlet of water supply pipe 6 to the tap water pipe in the workshop. The tap water pipe delivers water to water supply pipe 6, and then the water flows into heating water tank 2 through water supply pipe 6. The flow of water in water supply pipe 6 can be controlled by control valve 7. Under normal circumstances, control valve 7 is open by default. However, through the float valve, when the water level in heating water tank 2 drops, the valve connected to the float will open due to the sinking of the float, allowing water to automatically replenish heating water tank 2. As the water level rises, the float will also rise and eventually close the valve to stop the water from entering, thus achieving automatic water replenishment and... The electric heating rod heats the water in the heating tank 2. Temperature sensor 8 monitors water temperature changes in real time and transmits this information to controller 9. Controller 9 determines whether to adjust the water temperature in the heating tank 2 based on a preset target temperature. If the current water temperature is lower than the set value, controller 9 activates the electric heating rod; if the current water temperature is higher than the set value, it deactivates the electric heating rod, achieving automatic temperature control. Furthermore, by activating water pump 21, hot water from the heating tank 2 is pumped into the pepper cooking cylinder 4 through pump pipe 22 and water supply pipe 23, ensuring better and more complete contact between the peppers and hot water, thus improving cooking efficiency.
[0031] Working principle: During operation, this spiral automatic pepper cooking machine first feeds peppers into the cooking cylinder 4 through a spiral feeder. Simultaneously, the servo motor 41 is activated, and its output drives the gear 42, the cooking cylinder 4, and the spiral blades 5 to rotate, continuously turning the peppers and improving the uniformity of contact with hot water. This increases the cooking efficiency of the peppers. The cooked peppers are then conveyed to the outlet of the cooking cylinder 4 and onto a conveyor for transport to the next processing step, achieving automatic feeding and improving the production and processing efficiency of peppers.
[0032] In addition, during the processing, the float valve in the heating water tank 2 opens when the water level drops, allowing water to flow into the heating water tank 2 automatically via the water supply pipe 6. As the water level rises, the float rises and eventually closes the valve to stop the water flow, thus achieving automatic water replenishment. Furthermore, the electric heating rod heats the water in the heating water tank 2. The temperature sensor 8 detects changes in water temperature in real time and transmits this information to the controller 9. The controller 9 determines whether to adjust the water temperature in the heating water tank 2 based on the preset target temperature. If the current water temperature is lower than the set value, the controller 9 will activate the electric heating rod; if the current water temperature is higher than the set value, the controller 9 will deactivate the electric heating rod, thus achieving automatic temperature control. By activating the water pump 21, hot water from the heating water tank 2 is pumped into the pepper cooking cylinder 4 via the pump pipe 22 and the water supply pipe 23, allowing the peppers to come into better contact with the hot water and improving cooking efficiency.
[0033] It should be noted that by using a screw feeder and a conveyor in conjunction with an automatic pepper cooking machine, the continuity of pepper production can be ensured and automated production in the workshop can be achieved. Both the screw feeder and the conveyor are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
