Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dehydrated garlic slice processing technology, specifically relating to a hopper device for sorting and feeding dehydrated garlic slices. Background Technology

[0002] Dehydrated garlic flakes are a type of agricultural product made by slicing fresh garlic cloves, dehydrating and drying them. They are widely used in the condiment and food processing industries. During processing, the garlic flakes need to be graded by particle size to meet subsequent packaging or reprocessing requirements. Currently, commonly used grading devices mainly employ screening machines or sorting machines. Before grading and sorting, the material is initially collected and guided by hoppers.

[0003] However, because dehydrated garlic slices become brittle and less strong after drying, and their size distribution is uneven, traditional drop-type or conical hoppers often cause excessive drop height and steep angle, resulting in clumps of garlic slices accumulating and impacting during large-volume discharge, leading to an increased breakage rate. Furthermore, the lack of effective buffering and guidance during the descent process easily causes some garlic slices to pile up and block the outlet, resulting in uneven grading and requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, thus affecting continuous production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a hopper device for sorting and feeding dehydrated garlic slices. This solves the problem that, due to the brittle texture, reduced strength, and uneven size distribution of dehydrated garlic slices after drying, traditional drop-type or conical hoppers often cause excessive drop height and steep angles, leading to clumping and impact during large-volume feeding, resulting in increased garlic slice breakage. Furthermore, the lack of effective buffering and guidance during the descent process easily causes some garlic slices to accumulate and clog the outlet, resulting in uneven grading, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning, and affecting continuous production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a hopper device for sorting and feeding dehydrated garlic slices, comprising a feeding box, the upper side and one side of the feeding box being open, a first discharge port being provided on the lower side of the feeding box away from the side opening, fixing frames symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding box, the feeding box being inclined downwards towards the side closer to the first discharge port, a guide shell being fixedly provided on the lower side of the feeding box, the guide shell being in the opposite direction of inclination to the feeding box, and the lower side of the guide shell being away from the first discharge port. A second discharge port is provided on one side of the feed inlet. A discharge shell is fixedly installed on the lower side of the second discharge port. A baffle plate is symmetrically fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the feed box. The baffle plate includes a fixed block, a rotating plate and a fastening knob. The fixed blocks are all fixedly connected to the feed box. A rotating plate is rotatably installed between the lower side of the fixed block and the bottom of the inner side of the feed box. A fastening knob is threadedly connected to the upper side of the fastening knob. The fastening knob passes through the fixed block and is pressed against the rotating plate. V-shaped material distribution plates are staggered on the inner side of the discharge shell.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By adjusting the gap between the rotating plates, the speed at which garlic slices are discharged to the first outlet is controlled, preventing the garlic slices from crowding into the guide shell quickly. At the same time, after the garlic slices fall from the first outlet, they will slide through the buffer space inside the guide shell before falling from the bottom of the outlet. By controlling the discharge speed of the garlic slices to the first outlet and cooperating with the buffer space inside the guide shell, it is possible to effectively prevent the garlic slices from forming clumps and accumulating during discharge, and at the same time, it is possible to avoid direct discharge with a high drop, effectively reducing the impact force of the garlic slices during discharge and effectively reducing the breakage rate of the dehydrated garlic slices. Finally, the staggered distribution of the V-shaped distribution plates makes the garlic slices discharge more uniform.

[0007] For graded feeding;

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a perforated screen plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed box, and perforated screen plates are evenly provided with perforated holes on the upper side, and the bottom of the guide shell is a mesh screen plate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: Garlic slices can be initially graded by passing through the perforated sieve plate. Smaller garlic slices can fall directly, while larger garlic slices slide out normally, which can alleviate the pressure of the sliding discharge on the upper side of the feed box and reduce congestion. The bottom of the guide shell can screen and separate the debris in the passing garlic slices. The separated debris then falls into the screening machine. Even if it mixes with the garlic slices that fall later, it is not easy to re-adhere to the garlic slices under the action of vibration, and it can be quickly screened out. Compared with the screening machine shaking off the attached debris from the garlic slices and then screening them out, this method has a better screening efficiency for the debris in the garlic slices.

[0010] In order to reduce the sliding discharge speed of garlic slices to a certain extent;

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: arc-shaped baffles are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the upper side of the mesh screen plate of the material guide shell.

[0012] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it reduces the sliding discharge speed of garlic slices to a certain extent.

[0013] To reduce the impact force of the discharged material;

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: an arc-shaped material drop shell is fixedly connected to the lower side of the discharge shell.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: avoiding vertical discharge and using lateral discharge, which can reduce the impact force of discharge in the final discharge stage.

[0016] For use in mounting and securing this device;

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the fixing frame includes side rods, all of which are bolted to the side of the feed box. Upright rods are fixedly installed at both ends of the lower side of the side rods. Sleeve rods are installed on the lower side of each upright rod. Mounting blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom end of each sleeve rod. Mounting holes are opened through the upper side of each mounting block.

[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it is used for installing and fixing this device.

[0019] To allow for adjusting the discharge height as needed;

[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the lower end of the upright is inserted into the sleeve, and the upper side of the sleeve is threaded with fastening bolts, which all penetrate the sleeve and press against the upright.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the vertical adjustment of the uprights, followed by tightening the fastening bolts to fix the uprights, allows for adjustment of the discharge height as needed.

[0022] To facilitate adjusting the material dispensing speed as needed;

[0023] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the V-shaped material distribution plate includes an end rod and a middle rod, both ends of the middle rod are rotatably connected to the end rods, the end rods are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the discharge shell, a damping rubber ring is clamped at the rotatable connection between the end rod and the middle rod, a first dividing plate is fixedly installed on the lower side of the end rod, and a second dividing plate is fixedly installed on the lower side of the middle rod, the first dividing plate and the second dividing plate are arranged in a V-shape.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: a damping rubber ring is set between the end rod and the middle rod and rotated to connect them, so that the angle between the first and second dividing plates can be changed. Moreover, under the restriction of the damping rubber ring, the angle is not easily changed by the impact of the falling garlic slices, which makes it easy to adjust the speed of material distribution as needed.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0035] like Figure 1 — Figure 7The following describes a hopper device for sorting and feeding dehydrated garlic slices: A feeding box 1 has openings on its upper and one side. A first discharge port 2 is located on the lower side of the feeding box 1, away from the side openings. Fixing frames 10 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feeding box 1. The feeding box 1 is inclined downwards towards the side closest to the first discharge port 2. A guide shell 3 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the feeding box 1, with the inclination direction opposite to that of the feeding box 1. A second discharge port 4 is located on the lower side of the guide shell 3, away from the first discharge port 2. A discharge shell 5 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the second discharge port 4. Baffle plates 11 are symmetrically fixedly installed in the middle of the inner side of the feeding box 1, and each baffle plate 11 includes a fixing block. 111. A rotating plate 112 and a fastening knob 113 are provided. The fixing block 111 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 1. The rotating plate 112 is rotatably arranged between the lower side of the fixing block 111 and the inner bottom of the feeding box 1. The fastening knob 113 is threadedly connected to the upper side of the fixing block 111 and is pressed through the fixing block 111 and the rotating plate 112. The inner side of the discharge shell 5 is provided with V-shaped material distribution plates 8 arranged alternately. By adjusting the gap between the rotating plates 112, the speed at which the garlic slices are discharged to the first discharge port 2 is controlled, preventing the garlic slices from crowding into the guide shell 3 quickly. At the same time, after the garlic slices fall from the first discharge port 2, they will slide through the buffer space inside the guide shell 3 before exiting from the lower side of the discharge shell 5. By controlling the discharge speed of garlic slices towards the first discharge port 2 and coordinating with the buffer space within the guide shell 3, the formation of garlic slice clumps during discharge can be effectively prevented. Simultaneously, direct discharge with a high drop is avoided, effectively reducing the impact force of the discharged garlic slices and lowering the breakage rate of the dehydrated garlic slices. Finally, the staggered distribution by the V-shaped distribution plates 8 ensures more uniform discharge of garlic slices. A perforated screen plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feed box 1, with evenly distributed perforated holes on its upper side. The bottom of the guide shell 3 is a mesh screen plate. As the garlic slices pass through the perforated screen plate 6, they undergo preliminary grading. Smaller garlic slices can fall directly, while larger slices slide out normally, relieving pressure on the upper side of the feed box 1 and reducing congestion. The bottom of the guide shell 3 allows for the preliminary screening and separation of debris from the passing garlic slices. The separated debris then falls into the screening machine. Even if it mixes with subsequently falling garlic slices, the vibration prevents it from easily re-adhering to the garlic slices, allowing for rapid screening. Compared to a screening machine that shakes all attached debris off the garlic slices before screening, this method is more efficient at separating debris from the garlic slices. The upper side of the mesh screen plate of the guide shell 3 is fixedly equipped with arc-shaped baffles 7 at equal intervals, which reduces the sliding discharge speed of the garlic slices to a certain extent. The lower side of the discharge shell 5 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped discharge shell 9 to prevent vertical discharge and promote lateral discharge, reducing the impact force during the final discharge stage. The fixing frame 10 includes side rods 101.The side rods 101 are all bolted to the side of the feed box 1. Upright rods 102 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lower side of each side rod 101. A sleeve rod 103 is installed on the lower side of each upright rod 102. A mounting block 104 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each sleeve rod 103. A mounting hole is provided on the upper side of each mounting block 104 for mounting and fixing the device. The lower end of each upright rod 102 is inserted into the sleeve rod 103. Fastening bolts 105 are threaded onto the upper side of each sleeve rod 103. The fastening bolts 105 penetrate the sleeve rod 103 and press against the upright rod 102. The upright rod 102 is adjusted up and down, and then the fastening bolts 105 are tightened to fix it. This allows for adjusting the discharge height as needed. The V-shaped material distribution plate 8 includes... The device comprises an end rod 81 and a middle rod 82, with both ends of the middle rod 82 rotatably connected to the end rods 81. The end rods 81 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the discharge shell 5. A damping rubber ring 83 is clamped at the rotatable connection between the end rods 81 and the middle rod 82. A first dividing plate 84 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the end rod 81, and a second dividing plate 85 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the middle rod 82. The first dividing plate 84 and the second dividing plate 85 are arranged in a V-shape. The damping rubber ring 83 is provided between the end rods 81 and the middle rod 82 and rotatably connected, allowing the angle between the first dividing plate 84 and the second dividing plate 85 to be changed. Furthermore, under the constraint of the damping rubber ring 83, the angle is not easily changed by the impact of falling garlic slices, facilitating the adjustment of the material discharge speed as needed.

[0036] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0037] In use, the device is fixed above the sorting machine or screening machine by connecting bolts and fasteners through the mounting holes of the mounting block 104. Then, dehydrated garlic slices are fed into the feed box 1 from above. The garlic slices gradually slide towards the first discharge port 2, then fall onto the guide shell 3, and slide down along the guide shell 3 to the second discharge port 4, finally falling out from the discharge shell 5. The screening machine or sorting machine generally has a vibrator or similar structure; the vibration, transmitted through the connection, causes the device to vibrate as well, facilitating the sliding of the garlic slices through the feed box 1 and the guide shell 3. The angle of the rotating plate 112 is rotated to change the gap between the rotating plates 112. Finally, the fastening knob 113 is tightened to press the rotating plate 112. The fastening mechanism allows for adjustment of the gap between the rotating plates 112, controlling the speed at which garlic slices exit through the first outlet 2. This prevents the garlic slices from rapidly crowding into the guide shell 3. Simultaneously, after exiting through the first outlet 2, the garlic slices slide through the buffer space inside the guide shell 3 before falling from the bottom of the outlet shell 5. By controlling the exit speed of the garlic slices through the first outlet 2 and utilizing the buffer space within the guide shell 3, it is possible to effectively prevent the garlic slices from forming clumps and accumulating during discharge. Furthermore, it avoids direct, high-drop discharge, effectively reducing the impact force of the garlic slices and lowering the breakage rate of the dehydrated garlic slices. Finally, the staggered distribution by the V-shaped distribution plates 8 further facilitates the discharge of garlic slices. In addition, the garlic slices are uniformly distributed. Furthermore, passing through the perforated screen plate 6, they can be initially graded. Smaller slices can fall directly, while larger slices slide out normally, relieving pressure on the upper side of the feed box 1 and reducing congestion. The bottom of the guide shell 3 allows for the preliminary screening and separation of debris from the passing garlic slices. The separated debris then falls into the screening machine. Even if it mixes with subsequently falling garlic slices, the vibration prevents it from easily re-adhering to the slices, allowing for rapid screening. Compared to a screening machine that uniformly shakes off attached debris from the garlic slices before screening, this method is more efficient at separating debris from the garlic slices. Furthermore, the upper side of the mesh screen plate of the guide shell 3 is equidistantly fixed... An arc-shaped baffle 7 is fixedly installed to reduce the sliding discharge speed of garlic slices to a certain extent. In addition, an arc-shaped discharge shell 9 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the discharge shell 5 to avoid vertical discharge and to discharge laterally, which can reduce the impact force of discharge in the final discharge stage. Furthermore, the vertical adjustment rod 102 is adjusted up and down, and then the fastening bolt 105 is tightened to fix the vertical rod 102, which is used to adjust the discharge height as needed. In addition, a damping rubber ring 83 is set between the end rod 81 and the middle rod 82 and is rotatably connected, so that the angle between the first dividing plate 84 and the second dividing plate 85 can be changed. Under the restriction of the damping rubber ring 83, the angle is not easily changed by the impact of the garlic slices falling, which makes it easy to adjust the discharge speed as needed.
