Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a discharge device in canned food processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Canned food is made through processes such as sealing and heat sterilization. Its core function is to extend the shelf life of food, allowing ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and seafood to be consumed even when they are not in season or in remote areas, thus ensuring the stability of food supply. For example, in emergency disaster relief, outdoor adventures, and military operations, it can provide convenient and non-perishable food. In daily life, it can reduce food waste and meet the needs of convenient cooking in a fast-paced lifestyle.

[0003] The core purpose of canned food is to overcome the storage limitations of fresh ingredients through sealed packaging and heat sterilization, extend the shelf life of food, reduce losses during transportation and storage, and at the same time retain the nutrition, flavor and safety of ingredients to the greatest extent, meet dietary needs in different scenarios, improve the stability of food supply, and cope with material support during special periods such as natural disasters and wartime, thus having both practical and social value.

[0004] In existing technologies, the discharge pipes in some canned food processing equipment are fixedly installed, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to the height specifications of the canned containers. This requires disassembling and replacing the entire discharge device with a matching height, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming but also leads to production interruptions and seriously affects processing efficiency. Therefore, a discharge device for canned food processing equipment is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a discharge device in canned food processing equipment, aiming to improve the problem that the existing technology requires disassembling and replacing the entire set of discharge devices with matching height, which is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also causes production interruption and seriously affects processing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A discharge device in a canned food processing equipment includes a support frame, a lifting mechanism installed on the outer wall of the support frame, a hopper fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame, a fixed pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper, an adjustment mechanism installed on the inner wall of the fixed pipe, and a control lever slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed pipe.

[0008] The lifting mechanism includes a fixed plate, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor, a gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a lifting assembly is installed on the inner wall of the fixed plate.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The lifting assembly includes a rack, a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring, and a corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge pipe.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The adjustment mechanism includes a rotating disk, with multiple sliding columns slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk, multiple adjusting plates fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple sliding columns, multiple sliders fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple adjusting plates, and a fixed disk slidably connected to the outer wall of the multiple sliders.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The outer wall of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The outer wall of the rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate, and the outer side of the rack is meshed with the outer side of the gear.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The outer wall of the sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate, and the top of the corrugated pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed pipe.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The outer wall of the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube, one end of the control lever is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating disk, and the outer wall of the fixed disk is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The bottom of the rotating disk is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed disk, the tops of the plurality of adjusting plates are slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk, and the bottoms of the plurality of adjusting plates are slidably connected to the top of the fixed disk.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, the rotating shaft is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the rack to slide linearly, and the rack drives the sliding plate. Then, the fixed ring drives the discharge pipe to move up and down, realizing the lifting and adjustment. The corrugated pipe at the top of the discharge pipe extends and retracts with its lifting and retraction, maintaining communication with the fixed pipe and ensuring that the material passes smoothly. This structure can be adapted to canned containers and conveying equipment of different heights, and can meet diverse production needs without replacing the entire discharge device.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the control lever drives the rotating disk to rotate, the rotating disk drives the sliding column to slide along its own inner wall, and the sliding column drives the adjusting plate to move. Since the slider at the bottom of the adjusting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed disk, the fixed disk restricts the adjusting plate to move in a converging or dispersing motion along its radial direction. When the adjusting plate converges towards the center, the discharge port shrinks and the channel narrows, resulting in a decrease in the discharge amount. When it disperses outward, the discharge port expands and the channel widens, resulting in an increase in the discharge amount, ultimately achieving precise control of the discharge amount.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a canned food processing equipment: a discharge device, including a support frame 1. The support frame 1 serves as the basic support component of the entire equipment, ensuring the structural stability of the equipment during operation. A lifting mechanism 2 is installed on the outer wall of the support frame 1. The lifting mechanism 2 is fixed through the support frame 1 and can stably realize the lifting function of the discharge pipe 254. A hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1. The hopper 3 is fixed through the support frame 1 and can stably store the material to be filled, providing a continuous source of material for subsequent discharge.

[0034] A fixed pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper 3. The fixed pipe 4 is connected to the hopper 3 and is a fixed channel for materials to enter the discharge pipe 254 from the hopper 3. An adjustment mechanism 5 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed pipe 4. The adjustment mechanism 5 operates inside the fixed pipe 4 and can control the amount of material passing through by changing the size of the discharge port, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the discharge amount. A control lever 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed pipe 4. The operator can drive the adjustment mechanism 5 to move by sliding the control lever 6, so as to conveniently control the discharge amount. The lifting mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 21. The fixed plate 21 provides a mounting carrier for the various components of the lifting mechanism 2, ensuring the stable connection of components such as the motor 22 and the rotating shaft 23.

[0035] A motor 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 21. The motor 22 is fixed on the fixed plate 21 and provides power for the rotation of the rotating shaft 23. The drive end of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23 to drive the gear 24. The gear 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23. When the rotating shaft 23 rotates, it drives the gear 24 to rotate synchronously. The gear 24 meshes with the rack 251 to convert the rotational motion into linear motion. A lifting assembly 25 is installed on the inner wall of the fixed plate 21. The lifting assembly 25 slides inside the fixed plate 21 to realize the up and down movement of the discharge pipe 254. The lifting assembly 25 includes a rack 251, which meshes with the gear 24 and can convert the rotational motion of the gear 24 into its own linear sliding to provide lifting power for the sliding plate 252.

[0036] A sliding plate 252 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rack 251. The sliding plate 252 transmits the movement of the rack 251 to the fixed ring 253. The fixed ring 253 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding plate 252. The sliding plate 252 drives the fixed ring 253 to move up and down. The fixed ring 253 drives the discharge pipe 254 to rise and fall synchronously with it. The discharge pipe 254 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 253 for discharging materials from the hopper 3. A corrugated pipe 255 is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge pipe 254. The corrugated pipe 255 extends and retracts with the rise and fall of the discharge pipe 254 to ensure that the fixed pipe 4 and the discharge pipe 254 are always connected.

[0037] The outer wall of the fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1. The two ends of the rotating shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 21. The outer wall of the rack 251 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 21. The outer side of the rack 251 is meshed with the outer side of the gear 24. The outer wall of the sliding plate 252 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 21. The top of the bellows 255 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed pipe 4.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjusting mechanism 5 includes a rotating disk 51, which drives the sliding columns 52 to move. Multiple sliding columns 52 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk 51. As the rotating disk 51 rotates, the position changes, causing the adjusting plate 53 to move together or apart. Multiple adjusting plates 53 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple sliding columns 52. The multiple adjusting plates 53 work together to change the size of the discharge port by moving together or apart, thereby adjusting the discharge volume. Multiple sliders 54 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the multiple adjusting plates 53. The sliders 54 move with the adjusting plates 53 and slide within the fixed disk 55, providing guidance for the movement of the adjusting plates 53.

[0039] A fixed disk 55 is slidably connected to the outer wall of multiple sliders 54. The fixed disk 55 provides a sliding track for the sliders 54 and limits the movement direction of the adjusting plate 53. The outer wall of the rotating disk 51 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube 4. One end of the control lever 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating disk 51. The outer wall of the fixed disk 55 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed tube 4. The bottom of the rotating disk 51 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed disk 55. The tops of the multiple adjusting plates 53 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the rotating disk 51, and the bottoms of the multiple adjusting plates 53 are slidably connected to the top of the fixed disk 55.

[0040] Working principle: When the discharge pipe 254 needs to be raised or lowered, the motor 22 is started, and its drive end drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate. The rotating shaft 23 drives the gear 24 to rotate synchronously. Since the gear 24 and the rack 251 are meshed with each other, the rotational motion of the gear 24 is converted into the linear sliding of the rack 251. The sliding of the rack 251 drives the sliding plate 252 to slide. The sliding plate 252 then drives the discharge pipe 254 to move up and down through the fixed ring 253, thereby realizing the raising and lowering adjustment of the discharge pipe 254. The corrugated pipe 255 at the top of the discharge pipe 254 will extend and retract with the raising and lowering of the discharge pipe 254. Since the top of the corrugated pipe 255 is connected to the fixed pipe 4, the connection between the fixed pipe 4 and the discharge pipe 254 can always be maintained, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the discharge pipe 254 from the fixed pipe 4. This structure can be adapted to canned containers and conveying equipment of different heights. It can meet diverse production needs without replacing the entire discharge device, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0041] When it is necessary to control the discharge volume, operate the control lever 6, which drives the rotating disk 51 to rotate. The rotating disk 51 drives the sliding column 52 to move and slide along the inner wall of the rotating disk 51. The sliding column 52 drives the adjusting plate 53 to move. Since the slider 54 at the bottom of the adjusting plate 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed disk 55, the fixed disk 55 limits the adjusting plate 53 to move in a converging or dispersing motion along the radial direction of the fixed disk 55. When multiple adjusting plates 53 converge toward the center, the discharge port formed will shrink accordingly, the channel through which the material passes will narrow, and the discharge volume will decrease. When multiple adjusting plates 53 disperse outward, the discharge port formed will expand accordingly, the channel through which the material passes will widen, and the discharge volume will increase. Ultimately, precise control of the discharge volume is achieved. This structure can flexibly adjust the discharge speed and total volume according to different can specifications and filling requirements, avoiding excessive material overflow or insufficient filling, and ensuring the metering accuracy and product consistency of canning processing.

[0042] 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.
