Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feeding mechanisms, specifically an automatic feeding mechanism for drying camellia seeds. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of camellia seeds, in order to achieve continuous operation in the drying process, an inclined belt conveyor is often used as an automatic feeding device. The inclined belt with feeding baffles transports the camellia seeds from a low position to the drying mechanism, effectively replacing the traditional manual feeding and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0003] However, during long-term use, camellia seeds contain a certain amount of oil, lint, and impurities such as soil. These impurities are easily retained on the surface of the inclined belt and in the gaps of the feeding baffle due to compression and friction during the conveying process. As the usage time accumulates, these residues gradually form a dirt layer on the belt surface. This not only reduces the friction between the inclined belt and the drive components, causing belt slippage and deviation, thus affecting the stability of the conveying process, but may also cause mold and bacteria growth due to the residues, contaminating the camellia seeds conveyed later and reducing the processing quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding mechanism for drying camellia seeds, in order to solve the technical problems of traditional inclined belt conveyors, which are prone to accumulating residues such as grease, lint, and dirt on the surface of the belt and in the gaps of the feeding baffle when conveying camellia seeds for a long time. This leads to a decrease in the friction between the belt and the drive components, resulting in slippage and deviation, affecting the stability of the conveying. At the same time, the residues will mold and breed bacteria, which will contaminate the camellia seeds and reduce the processing quality. Furthermore, the need to manually clean the residues leads to high labor intensity and affects the continuity of production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism for drying camellia seeds, including a feeding mechanism, wherein the feeding mechanism includes a conveyor frame, and a maintenance mechanism is provided at the front end of the conveyor frame; The maintenance mechanism includes two cylinders, and the output ends of the two cylinders are detachably connected to a mounting bracket by fixing bolts. A roller seat is provided on the back of the mounting bracket, and a sweeping roller motor is provided on one side of the roller seat.

The casters are arranged in a rectangular array, which evenly distributes the weight of the conveyor frame, ensuring stability during movement, preventing tipping or jamming, and facilitating quick positioning and fixing of the equipment.

[0013] Furthermore, a drying oven is provided on one side of the drying mechanism, and the drying oven is fixedly connected to the drying mechanism through a ventilation duct.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a drying oven is installed on one side of the drying mechanism and connected by a ventilation duct, ensuring that the hot air generated by the drying oven can be stably delivered to the drying mechanism, providing a uniform environment for drying camellia seeds.

[0015] Furthermore, an inclined belt is provided on the inner side of the conveyor frame, and a drive motor is provided on one side of the conveyor frame to drive the inclined belt. Multiple feeding baffles for feeding materials are provided on the inclined belt.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, an inclined belt is installed inside the conveyor frame as the core conveying component, with a drive motor on one side providing stable power to ensure continuous feeding.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] An automatic feeding mechanism for drying camellia seeds, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a feeding mechanism 1, which includes a conveyor frame 101, and a maintenance mechanism 3 is provided at the front end of the conveyor frame 101. The maintenance mechanism 3 includes two cylinders 301. The output ends of the two cylinders 301 are detachably connected to a mounting frame 302 via fixing bolts 303. A roller seat 304 is located on the back of the mounting frame 302. A cleaning roller motor 305 is located on one side of the roller seat 304. A cleaning roller 306 for cleaning the inclined belt 102 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the roller seat 304. The maintenance mechanism 3 is located at the front end of the conveyor frame 101 of the feeding mechanism 1, integrating the feeding function and the belt cleaning function. The two cylinders 301 of the maintenance mechanism 3 can drive the mounting frame 302 connected to the output end to move up and down, ensuring that the cleaning roller 306 can accurately adhere to or detach from the inclined belt 102. The fixing bolts 303 allow for the detachable connection between the mounting frame 302 and the cylinders 301, enabling quick disassembly of components during subsequent maintenance. The roller seat 304 on the back of the mounting frame 302 provides a stable mounting base for the cleaning roller 306 and the cleaning roller motor 305. The cleaning roller motor 305 drives the cleaning roller 306 to rotate and complete the cleaning. The structural design makes the cleaning process controllable, and the connections between components are reliable, reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The maintenance mechanism 3 is made of aluminum alloy, while the cleaning roller 306 is made of nylon. The aluminum alloy material of the maintenance mechanism 3 is lightweight, reducing the load on the front end of the conveyor frame 101 and preventing deformation due to long-term stress. Simultaneously, aluminum alloy possesses good structural strength and corrosion resistance, adapting to the drying environment and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the maintenance mechanism 3. The cleaning roller 306 is made of nylon, a material with outstanding wear resistance, capable of withstanding the friction and cleaning of camellia seed residues for extended periods without significant wear. Furthermore, nylon is soft, preventing scratches on the surface of the inclined belt 102 during cleaning and thus maintaining its conveying function. This material is suitable for cleaning camellia seed oil, lint, and other residues, balancing cleaning effectiveness with component protection.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 A drying mechanism 4 is installed on the back of the feeding mechanism 1. A linear motor 2 is installed on the outer surface of the drying mechanism 4. The moving end of the linear motor 2 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 101 via a connecting seat 105. The installation of the drying mechanism 4 on the back of the feeding mechanism 1 ensures a seamless process from feeding to drying of camellia seeds, reducing material loss and time waste during transfer and improving overall processing efficiency. The linear motor 2 on the outer surface of the drying mechanism 4 serves as the power source. Its moving end is fixed to the conveyor frame 101 via the connecting seat 105. The linear drive characteristic of the linear motor 2 enables smooth displacement of the conveyor frame 101, facilitating precise adjustment of the feeding position according to drying requirements. The fixing function of the connecting seat 105 ensures that the power of the linear motor 2 is stably transmitted to the conveyor frame 101, preventing loosening during displacement and resulting in positional deviation. This allows the equipment to adapt to the feeding requirements of different drying scenarios, improving flexibility.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The bottom of the conveyor frame 101 is equipped with multiple casters 106 arranged in a rectangular array. These casters facilitate the overall movement of the equipment. During production line layout adjustments or equipment maintenance, the conveyor frame 101 can be moved manually without the need for large lifting tools, reducing operational difficulty. The rectangular array arrangement of the casters ensures that the overall weight of the conveyor frame 101 is evenly distributed across each caster 106, preventing excessive stress on any single caster and thus avoiding damage or jamming. Furthermore, the rectangular distribution provides stability, preventing the conveyor frame 101 from tipping over during movement, ensuring operational safety, and facilitating quick and accurate positioning and fixation after movement.

[0029] See Figure 3 , Figure 4A drying oven 5 is installed on one side of the drying mechanism 4. The drying oven 5 is fixedly connected to the drying mechanism 4 via a ventilation duct. The drying oven 5 serves as a hot air source on one side of the drying mechanism 4, and the two are fixedly connected via a ventilation duct. This structure allows the hot air generated by the drying oven 5 to be directly transported to the interior of the drying mechanism 4 through a sealed ventilation duct, reducing the loss of hot air during transmission and ensuring a stable and uniform temperature inside the drying mechanism 4. This provides a stable process environment for drying camellia seeds and improves the drying quality. The fixed connection between the ventilation duct and the drying mechanism 4 and the drying oven 5 is reliable and can effectively avoid energy waste and reduced drying effect caused by hot air leakage. At the same time, the fixed connection structure facilitates subsequent disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the ventilation duct, reducing the operational complexity of equipment maintenance.

[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 An inclined belt 102 is installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 101, and a drive motor 104 is installed on one side of the conveyor frame 101 to drive the inclined belt 102. Multiple feeding baffles 103 are installed on the inclined belt 102 for feeding material. The inclined belt 102, installed on the inner side of the conveyor frame 101, has an inclined structure adapted to the feeding requirements of transporting camellia seeds from a low to a high position, ensuring the continuity of material transmission as a core conveying component. The drive motor 104 on one side of the conveyor frame 101 provides power for the operation of the inclined belt 102. The power transmission path is direct, ensuring that the inclined belt 102 operates at a uniform speed and avoiding material accumulation due to insufficient power. The feeding baffles 103 on the inclined belt 102 can block camellia seeds during the inclined conveying process, preventing material from slipping due to gravity and ensuring conveying efficiency. The overall structure has clear division of labor among its components and simple connections, allowing for quick location and repair of faulty parts in case of subsequent malfunctions, reducing maintenance costs.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 Feeding baffles 103 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the inclined belt 102. The bottom of the feeding baffles 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inclined belt 102, and the two side edges of the feeding baffles 103 extend away from the central axis of the inclined belt 102, forming an enclosed material carrying space. The spaced distribution of the feeding baffles 103 along the conveying direction of the inclined belt 102 is compatible with the continuous operation rhythm of the inclined belt 102, enabling segmented conveying of camellia seeds and avoiding material accumulation that affects the conveying effect. The bottom of the feeding baffles 103 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inclined belt 102, and the connection structure is reliable, capable of withstanding the weight of the material and vibration during the conveying process, preventing the baffles from shifting or falling off. Its two sides extend away from the central axis of the climbing belt 102, forming a material carrying space enclosed with the baffle itself. This structure not only increases the material carrying capacity of a single baffle, but also blocks the material from both sides, preventing camellia seeds from falling to both sides due to inertia during the climbing process, and further enhancing the stability of the conveying.

[0032] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The connecting seat 105 is a plate-shaped structure. One side is fixed to the side wall of the conveyor frame 101, and the other side is fixed to the housing of the drive motor 104. The connecting seat 105 has mounting holes adapted to the conveyor frame 101 and the drive motor 104 to achieve a stable connection between the drive motor 104 and the conveyor frame 101. Compared to smaller connecting parts, the plate-shaped structure of the connecting seat 105 significantly increases the contact area with the side wall of the conveyor frame 101 and the housing of the drive motor 104. This increased contact area makes the connection more stable and can withstand the vibration generated during the operation of the drive motor 104, preventing loosening after long-term use. The mounting holes on the connecting seat 105 allow bolts and other fasteners to be easily inserted and tightly locked, ensuring that the drive motor 104 can be accurately installed in the preset position. This prevents misalignment of the output shaft of the drive motor 104 and the transmission components due to installation misalignment, ensuring stable power transmission to the inclined belt 102 and ensuring normal conveying function.

[0033] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, when the equipment is feeding normally, the drive motor 104 of the feeding mechanism 1 is started, which drives the inclined belt 102 inside the conveyor frame 101 to rotate at a constant speed. The feeding baffle 103 on the inclined belt 102 stably conveys the camellia seeds through the enclosed bearing space. The linear motor 2 can drive the conveyor frame 101 to move through the connecting seat 105. The caster wheel 106 assists in positioning. The drying oven 5 supplies air to the drying mechanism 4 through the ventilation pipe to achieve drying coordination. When the special cleaning mode is activated, the feeding mechanism 1 pauses feeding, and the drive motor 104 adjusts its operating parameters to change the operating mode of the inclined belt 102: the inclined belt 102 maintains normal operation in non-cleaning areas; when the belt segment between any two feeding baffles 103 is about to reach the cleaning roller 306 of the maintenance mechanism 3, the drive motor 104 slows down, allowing the belt segment to slowly pass over the cleaning roller 306. At this time, the cylinder 301 drives the mounting bracket 302 to move the roller seat 304, allowing the nylon cleaning roller 306 to closely adhere to the belt surface; the cleaning roller motor 305 drives the cleaning roller 306 to rotate, utilizing sufficient contact time to thoroughly clean the belt surface and residual impurities in the baffle gaps. After the belt segment is cleaned, the drive motor 104 resumes its speed until the next belt segment between the feeding baffles 103 arrives, at which point it slows down again, completing the overall cleaning cycle; after cleaning, the maintenance mechanism 3 resets, the belt resumes normal operation, and the equipment restarts feeding.
