Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food quick-freezing technology, specifically to an anti-caking conveying device for quick-freezing lotus seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Quick-freezing technology for lotus seeds is an effective means of extending their shelf life and ensuring their quality in modern processing. Through quick-freezing, the internal moisture of the lotus seeds forms tiny ice crystals, reducing cell structure damage and effectively inhibiting microbial activity and enzymatic hydrolysis. The shelf life of lotus seeds can reach over 18 months, far exceeding that of fresh lotus seeds. Furthermore, quick-freezing maximizes the preservation of the lotus seeds' nutrients and natural flavor, avoiding nutrient loss and taste deterioration caused by room temperature storage or traditional refrigeration. The quick-freezing process involves shelling and core removal, cleaning and pre-cooling, rapid freezing, packaging materials, and cold chain management to achieve optimal preservation.

[0003] However, when lotus seeds are quick-frozen, they tend to solidify on the conveyor belt of the quick-freezing equipment. This is because although the lotus seeds are drained after washing, they still retain a small amount of surface moisture. The temperature of the conveyor belt outside the quick-freezing equipment is higher than that inside, causing some of the solid water to turn into liquid water. When the lotus seeds come into contact with each other and are squeezed on the long conveyor belt, the liquid water acts as an adhesive, causing the lotus seeds to initially stick together before entering the quick-freezing layer, resulting in solidification on the conveyor belt. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lotus seed quick-freezing anti-caking conveyor device, which solves the problem of lotus seeds caking on the conveyor belt.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lotus seed quick-freezing anti-caking conveying device, comprising a conveyor belt, conveyor baffles on both sides of the conveyor belt, a lotus seed separation component between the conveyor baffles, the lotus seed separation component comprising a separation mounting frame mounted on the conveyor baffles, separation plates evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the separation mounting frame, guide plates conforming to the inner side of the conveyor baffles at both ends of the separation plates, the inner side of the guide plates being inclined toward the separation plates, and a lotus seed turning component being provided on the separation plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the lotus seed turning assembly includes a turning mounting frame disposed on the top surface of the separation plate. The two sides of the turning mounting frame are located on the same vertical plane as the inner side of the conveyor baffle. A rotating frame is disposed on the bottom surface of the turning mounting frame between the two separation plates. A turning plate is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the rotating frame. The bottom surface of the turning plate does not contact the conveyor belt.

[0007] Furthermore, six sets of lotus seed turning components are evenly arranged on the front and back of the separating plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating frames on the flipping mounting frame are spaced apart, and the rotating frames of the two sets of lotus seed flipping components are staggered.

[0009] Furthermore, the outermost separation plate has a concave block on its outer side that fits against the inner side of the conveyor baffle, with the concave part of the concave block facing upwards. The lower end of the flipping mounting frame extends and fits against the concave part of the concave block, and the concave block and the flipping mounting frame are fixedly connected by mounting bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of the separation plate and the flipping plate are provided with a hydrophobic coating.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] By setting up a lotus seed separation component, the lotus seeds on the conveyor belt can be horizontally divided into multiple columns, reducing local stacking density and preventing the formation of large clumps due to continuous stacking, thus reducing the risk of solidification from the source. By setting up a lotus seed turning component, the rotating turning plate periodically flips the lotus seeds, ensuring that they remain loose during the conveying process and preventing them from solidifying together due to static contact. By setting up six sets of lotus seed turning components, the conveyor belt is ensured to have turning action throughout the entire process, preventing lotus seeds from sticking together due to prolonged static time. By setting the rotating frame at intervals and staggered front and back on the turning mounting frame, the turning range is wider and more uniform, ensuring that all lotus seeds are turned and preventing mutual interference when the turning plates rotate. By setting up concave blocks and mounting bolts to install the turning mounting frame, the lotus seed turning component can be quickly disassembled, improving structural stability and facilitating daily maintenance of the lotus seed turning component. By applying a hydrophobic coating to the outer surface of the separation plate and the turning plate, it reduces the adhesion between the lotus seeds and the plates caused by freezing moisture and prevents impurities from remaining, making cleaning easier.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a lotus seed quick-freezing anti-caking conveying device includes a conveyor belt 1, conveyor baffles 101 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, and a lotus seed separation component 2 is provided between the conveyor baffles 101. The lotus seed separation component 2 includes a separation mounting frame 201 mounted on the conveyor baffles 101. Separation plates 202 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the separation mounting frame 201. Guide plates 203 that fit the inner side of the conveyor baffles 101 are provided at the front and rear ends of the separation plates 202. The inner side of the guide plates 203 is inclined towards the separation plates 202. A lotus seed turning component 3 is provided on the separation plates 202.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the main improvement of this utility model lies in solving the problem of lotus seeds clumping together on the conveying device, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a lotus seed quick-freezing anti-caking conveying device. During use, the lotus seeds move backward under the drive of the conveyor belt 1. During this movement, guided by the guide plate 203, the lotus seeds on the conveyor belt 1 are horizontally divided into multiple rows and sequentially enter the intervals formed by the separation plates 202, reducing local accumulation density and preventing the lotus seeds from forming large clumps due to continuous accumulation, thus reducing the risk of clumping from the source. During the backward movement between the separation plates 202, the lotus seeds come into contact with the flipping plate 303, which rotates, causing the lotus seeds to flip and pass through, ensuring that they remain loose during the conveying process and preventing them from clumping together due to static contact. Simultaneously, because the rotating frames 302 on the flipping mounting frame 301 are spaced apart, and the rotating frames 302 of the two sets of lotus seed flipping components 3 are staggered, the flipping range is wider and more uniform, ensuring that all lotus seeds are flipped, thereby preventing them from clumping together.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the lotus seed turning assembly 3 includes a turning mounting frame 301 disposed on the top surface of the separation plate 202. The two sides of the turning mounting frame 301 are located on the same vertical plane as the inner side of the conveyor baffle 101. A rotating frame 302 is disposed on the bottom surface of the turning mounting frame 301 between the two separation plates 202. A turning plate 303 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the rotating frame 302. The bottom surface of the turning plate 303 does not contact the conveyor belt 1.

[0021] Specifically, when lotus seeds enter the area separated by the separating plate 202 under the action of the conveyor belt 1, the flipping plate 303 mounted on the rotating frame 302 is perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 1. When the lotus seeds come into contact with the flipping plate 303, the flipping plate 303 rotates, causing the lotus seeds to flip over and pass through, thus ensuring that they remain loose during the conveying process and preventing the lotus seeds from sticking together due to static contact. In addition, the bottom surface of the flipping plate 303 does not contact the conveyor belt 1, which avoids scratching the surface of the conveyor belt 1 and ensures that the flipping process only acts on the lotus seed layer, reducing mechanical resistance and improving flipping efficiency.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, six sets of lotus seed turning components 3 are evenly arranged on the front and back of the separation plate 202.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotating frames 302 on the flipping mounting frame 301 are spaced apart, and the rotating frames 302 of the two sets of lotus seed flipping components 3 are staggered.

[0024] Specifically, by evenly arranging six sets of lotus seed turning components 3 on the front and back of the separation plate 202, it is ensured that the conveyor belt 1 is turning over throughout the entire process, preventing the lotus seeds from sticking together due to prolonged stillness. The rotating frames 302 on the turning mounting frame 301 are spaced apart, and the rotating frames 302 of the two sets of lotus seed turning components 3 are staggered, which allows for a wider and more uniform turning range, ensuring that all lotus seeds can be turned over and preventing mutual interference when the turning plate 303 rotates.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outermost separation plate 202 has a concave block 204 that fits the inner side of the conveyor baffle 101. The concave part of the concave block 204 faces upward. The lower end of the flipping mounting frame 301 extends and fits into the concave part of the concave block 204. The concave block 204 and the flipping mounting frame 301 are fixedly connected by mounting bolts 4.

[0026] Specifically, a concave block 204 is provided on the outermost separating plate 202, which fits against the conveying baffle 101 with the recessed part of the concave block 204 facing upwards. The lower end of the flipping mounting bracket 301 extends and fits against the recess of the concave block 204. Thus, when installing the lotus seed flipping assembly 3, as the lower end of the flipping mounting bracket 301 is placed into the recess of the concave block 204, and then the connection is completed with the mounting bolts 4, the lotus seed flipping assembly 3 can be quickly disassembled, improving structural stability and facilitating daily maintenance of the lotus seed flipping assembly 3.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer surfaces of the separation plate 202 and the flipping plate 303 are provided with a hydrophobic coating 5.

[0028] Specifically, by applying a hydrophobic coating 5 to the outer surfaces of the separation plate 202 and the flipping plate 303, the adhesion between the lotus seeds and these plates caused by water freezing is reduced, and impurities are prevented from remaining, making cleaning easier.

[0029] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
