Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili processing technology, and in particular to a material discharge and sorting structure for a chili processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chili processing relies on multi-layer grading screens, combined with vibration or airflow separation technology, to achieve precise separation of chili peppers, separating whole chili peppers, chili pepper segments, chili pepper seeds, and impurities.

[0003] A search of Chinese patent publication number "CN211802388U" reveals a "screening machine for processing firewood-roasted chili peppers". This screening machine integrates gravity screening and wind screening functions, making screening easier and accelerating the screening speed of firewood-roasted chili peppers, thus effectively improving the screening effect.

[0004] Based on the above search and existing technology findings, the above patent has certain defects: When using existing screening machines, the collection of chili peppers is usually done manually by placing collection frames. Since the frames lack dynamic structures such as shaking to even out the flow, the chili peppers tend to pile up unevenly in the collection box, requiring workers to sort them out, which is quite troublesome to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a discharge and sorting structure for a chili pepper machine, solving the technical problem of inconvenience in using existing chili pepper machines.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A material handling structure for a chili pepper machine includes a chili pepper screening machine, wherein a base plate is provided at the lower end of the chili pepper screening machine, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the base plate; The material discharge and sorting structure is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed plate; The material discharge and sorting structure includes a slide rail, a slide groove on the inner side of the slide rail, a slide bar slidably installed inside the slide groove, a collection box fixedly installed between the slide bars, a caster wheel at the lower end of the collection box, a motor fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixed plate, a gear fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor, and a rack fixedly installed on the side wall of the slide bar, with the rack meshing with the gear.

[0007] Preferably, a baffle is symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing plate. The baffle is L-shaped and located below the gear.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of cameras are fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing plate, the cameras are located between the baffles, an acrylic plate is fixedly installed between the baffles, and the acrylic plate is located below the cameras.

[0009] (III) Beneficial Effects Firstly, by setting up a discharge sorting structure, when the chili screening machine performs chili feeding operations, the chilies are discharged from its discharge port into the collection box. The operator starts the motor to make the output shaft drive the gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the rack and pinion to convert the rotational motion into the radial driving force of the rack, which drives the slide bar to slide along the slide groove. This, in turn, drives the collection box and the casters to move synchronously to adjust the stacking space of the chilies in the collection box. This can achieve orderly sorting of the chilies discharged, avoid uneven accumulation of chilies in the collection box, make full use of the internal space of the collection box, and improve the chili collection efficiency.

[0010] Secondly, by symmetrically fixing L-shaped baffles below the gears at the lower end of the fixed plate, the baffles can shield the gears when the motor drives the gears and racks to mesh, thus preventing chili fragments or external debris from contacting the gears. This avoids debris affecting the meshing accuracy of the gears and racks, ensuring the stable operation of the transmission components of the material handling structure, and extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, by fixing multiple cameras between the baffles at the lower end of the fixed plate, and fixing acrylic plates below the cameras between the baffles, workers can observe the material status of the chilies accumulated inside the collection box through the cameras. The acrylic plates can protect the cameras without affecting their field of view, allowing workers to have a real-time and clear understanding of the chili collection situation inside the collection box. This facilitates timely motor start-up and adjustment of the collection box position, further improving the continuity and convenience of chili collection. Attached Figure Description

[0014] This application provides a discharge and sorting structure for a chili pepper machine, effectively solving the technical problem of inconvenience in the use of existing chili pepper machines. By setting up this discharge and sorting structure, when the chili pepper screening machine performs chili pepper feeding operations, the chili peppers are discharged from its discharge port into the collection box. The operator starts the motor, causing the output shaft to drive the gear to rotate. The gear meshes with the rack, converting the rotational motion into radial driving force on the rack, which drives the slide bar to slide along the slide groove. This, in turn, causes the collection box and casters to move synchronously to adjust the stacking space of the chili peppers within the collection box. This achieves orderly sorting of the chili peppers, preventing uneven accumulation within the collection box, fully utilizing the internal space of the collection box, and improving chili pepper collection efficiency. Furthermore, by symmetrically fixing L-shaped baffles below the gears at the lower end of the fixed plate, when the motor drives the gears… When operating in mesh with the rack and pinion, the baffles can shield and protect the gears, preventing chili fragments or external debris from contacting them. This avoids debris affecting the meshing accuracy of the gears and rack, ensuring the stable operation of the transmission components of the material handling structure, and extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, by fixing multiple cameras between the baffles at the lower end of the fixed plate, and by fixing an acrylic plate below the cameras between the baffles, workers can observe the material status of the chilies accumulated inside the collection box through the cameras. The acrylic plate can protect the cameras without affecting their field of view, allowing workers to have a real-time and clear understanding of the chili collection situation inside the collection box. This facilitates timely motor start-up and adjustment of the collection box position, further improving the continuity and convenience of chili collection.

[0015] Example like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem of the inconvenience of using existing chili pepper machines. The overall idea is as follows: In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a discharge sorting structure for a chili machine, including a chili screening machine 11, a bottom plate 12 at the lower end of the chili screening machine 11, and a fixing plate 13 fixedly installed at the lower end of the bottom plate 12. A material discharge and sorting structure is symmetrically fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 13; The material discharge and sorting structure includes a slide rail 14, a slide groove 22 on the inner side of the slide rail 14, a slide bar 15 slidably installed inside the slide groove 22, a collection box 16 fixedly installed between the slide bars 15, a universal wheel 17 at the lower end of the collection box 16, a motor 18 fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing plate 13, a gear 19 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor 18, and a rack 21 fixedly installed on the side wall of the slide bar 15, with the rack 21 meshing with the gear 19. By setting up a discharge sorting structure, when the chili screening machine 11 performs chili feeding operations, the chilies are discharged from its discharge port into the collection box 16. The operator starts the motor 18, causing the output shaft to drive the gear 19 to rotate. The gear 19 meshes with the rack 21, converting the rotational motion into the radial driving force of the rack 21, which drives the slide bar 15 to slide along the slide groove 22. This, in turn, drives the collection box 16 and the casters 17 to move synchronously to adjust the stacking space of the chilies in the collection box 16. This allows for the orderly sorting of the chilies discharged, preventing uneven accumulation of chilies in the collection box 16 and making full use of the collection box. The internal space of the collection box 16 improves the efficiency of chili collection. At the same time, the staff can turn on the motor 18 to rotate back and forth, so that the collection box 16 can move back and forth, which can further flatten the chilies inside the collection box 16 and avoid excessive accumulation in some areas, forming clumps or gaps. The slight vibration and position adjustment generated by the back and forth movement can make the chilies evenly fill all areas inside the collection box 16. This eliminates the need for manual intervention by the staff, maximizes the use of the storage space inside the box, reduces the frequent box-changing operations caused by uneven accumulation, and further improves the continuity and efficiency of the overall screening and collection.

[0016] A baffle 23 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixed plate 13. The baffle 23 is L-shaped and located below the gear 19. By symmetrically fixing L-shaped baffles 23 below gear 19 at the lower end of fixed plate 13, when motor 18 drives gear 19 to mesh with rack 21, baffles 23 can shield and protect gear 19, thereby preventing chili fragments or external debris from contacting gear 19, avoiding debris from affecting the meshing accuracy of gear 19 and rack 21, ensuring the stable operation of transmission components of the discharge and sorting structure, and extending the service life of equipment.

[0017] Multiple cameras 24 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixed plate 13. The cameras 24 are located between the baffles 23. An acrylic plate 25 is fixedly installed between the baffles 23. The acrylic plate 25 is located below the cameras 24. By fixing multiple cameras 24 between baffles 23 at the lower end of the fixed plate 13, and fixing an acrylic plate 25 below the cameras 24 between the baffles 23, the staff can observe the material status of the chili peppers inside the collection box 16 through the cameras 24. The acrylic plate 25 can protect the cameras 24 without affecting the observation field of the cameras 24, so that the staff can have a real-time and clear grasp of the chili pepper collection situation inside the collection box 16, which makes it easier to start the motor 18 in time to adjust the position of the collection box 16, and further improve the continuity and convenience of chili pepper collection. The camera 24 and motor 18 are controlled automatically by an external PLC controller.

[0018] Working principle: When the chili screening machine 11 performs the chili feeding operation, the chilies will be discharged from the discharge port of the chili screening machine 11 and enter the collection box 16. At this time, the staff can observe the material status inside the collection box 16 through the camera 24. As the chilies continue to accumulate in the collection box 16, the staff can start the motor 18, so that the output shaft of the motor 18 drives the gear 19 to rotate. After the gear 19 meshes with the rack 21, the rotational motion is converted into the radial driving force of the rack 21. This driving force drives the slide bar 15 to slide along the slide groove 22, thereby driving the collection box 16 and the universal wheel 17 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the stacking space of the chilies inside the collection box 16 and ensuring that the internal space of the collection box 16 is fully utilized.

[0019] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
