Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a device for processing dried green beans. Background Technology

[0002] Dried green beans are a traditional dehydrated vegetable made from cowpeas or string beans through natural sun-drying or artificial drying. The finished product is dark brown, brittle, and has a concentrated bean flavor and a chewy texture. The dehydration process deprives microorganisms of their habitat, allowing for long-term storage.

[0003] In the processing of dried green beans, the harvested beans need to be washed, blanched, cooled, drained, and dried in sequence. In large-scale dried green bean processing, existing technologies include automated processing equipment. Workers feed the harvested green beans onto a conveyor belt, which transports large quantities of beans. During transport, the beans are blanched in hot water. After blanching, the dried beans are drained and cooled as they are transported forward. Workers at the rear of the conveyor belt pick up the beans and evenly place them on drying trays. While this process improves automation and efficiency to some extent compared to small-scale, manual processing, the long, thin beans are prone to tangling and piling up. In practice, multiple workers are needed on the conveyor belt to constantly clear away the accumulated and clogged beans, and workers still need to manually stack the beans one by one onto the trays, making the workload still very heavy. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dried green bean processing device with a high degree of automation.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a dried green bean processing device, including a frame, an annular track disposed on the frame, several slides slidably connected to the annular track, a power component for driving the slides to move along the annular track, a blanching container, and a stacking mechanism. The slides are provided with a lifting seat and a lifting drive component for driving the lifting seat to rise and fall. The lifting seat is provided with a material frame, the material frame including four side frames, several connecting rods, and multiple horizontally arranged horizontal shafts. The upper end of the connecting rod is fixed to the lifting seat, and the lower end is fixed to the side frame. The two ends of the horizontal shaft are respectively rotatably connected to two opposite side frames. Multiple support plates are fixed to the side wall of the horizontal shaft. The horizontal shaft is equipped with a torsion spring. The torsion spring force drives the horizontal shaft to rotate so that the support plates abut against the bottom of the adjacent horizontal shaft or against the bottom of the side frame. The stacking mechanism includes a frame and a support platform located at the bottom of the frame. The frame is provided with several vertically arranged elastic friction strips. Friction wheels are fixed to the ends of the horizontal shafts, and the friction wheels correspond one-to-one with the elastic friction strips.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, workers place the harvested green beans into the material frame, completing the loading process. The power unit drives the slide to move above the blanching container, and the lifting drive lowers the lifting platform and material frame. The material frame is immersed in the high-temperature hot water in the blanching container. After blanching, the lifting drive raises the lifting platform and material frame, detaching the material frame from the blanching container. The power unit then moves the slide to position the material frame directly above the frame, simultaneously completing draining and cooling. The lifting drive lowers the lifting platform and material frame again. During this descent, the friction wheel contacts the elastic friction strip and rotates, causing the horizontal shaft to rotate and the support plate to rotate downwards. When the material frame reaches the bottom of its stroke, the support plate is vertically downwards, and the material frame impacts the frame. The green beans inside the material frame fall through the gaps between the horizontal shafts into the drying tray. Because the horizontal shafts are evenly spaced, the green beans falling into the drying tray are basically evenly distributed, eliminating the need for manual placement by workers. This invention features a high degree of automation, reducing workers' direct contact with green beans during processing and lowering their labor intensity.

[0007] The phrase "the torsion spring force drives the horizontal shaft to rotate so that the support piece abuts against the bottom of the adjacent horizontal shaft or against the bottom of the side frame" means that in a row of horizontal shafts, the support pieces on the horizontal shafts other than the last one abut against the adjacent horizontal shaft, and the last horizontal shaft abuts against the bottom of the side frame.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the scalding container includes a container body and a heating component.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the container body contains high-temperature hot water, and the heating component is used to heat and maintain the water temperature of the high-temperature hot water.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the slide has four guide holes, and the lifting seat is fixed with four guide rods, which pass through the four guide holes respectively.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod and guide hole are used to guide the lifting movement of the lifting seat.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the lifting drive component is an electric push rod.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that there are multiple connecting rods, and at least two of the side frames are connected to the connecting rods.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the two ends of the horizontal shaft are mounted on the side frame via food-grade stainless steel bearings.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the power assembly includes an annular synchronous belt, multiple synchronous pulleys mounted on the frame, and a servo motor that drives one of the synchronous pulleys to rotate. The synchronous pulley meshes with the synchronous belt, and the slide is fixed to the synchronous belt.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor drives the synchronous pulley to drive the synchronous belt to move, and the synchronous belt drives the slide to move.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the torsion spring is sleeved on the horizontal shaft, with one end fixed to the horizontal shaft and the other end fixed to the side frame.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a material frame to hold green beans, which are then immersed in a blanching container for blanching. After blanching, the green beans are drained and cooled during transportation by the material frame. The material frame moves downwards and impacts the frame, causing the tray at the bottom of the material frame to flip to a vertical position. The green beans fall from the gap between the horizontal axes at the bottom of the material frame onto the drying tray below the frame, achieving uniform traying. This method has a high degree of automation and reduces the labor intensity of workers. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A dried green bean processing device, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a frame 1, a circular track 2 mounted on the frame 1, multiple slides 3 slidably connected to the circular track 2, a power assembly 4 for driving the slides 3 to move along the circular track 2, a blanching container 5, and a encoder mechanism 6. The power assembly 4 includes a circular synchronous belt 41, multiple synchronous pulleys 42 mounted on the frame 1, and a servo motor for driving one of the synchronous pulleys 42 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 42 meshes with the synchronous belt, and the slide 3 is fixed to the synchronous belt.

[0025] The slide 3 is equipped with a lifting seat 7 and a lifting drive component 8 for driving the lifting seat 7 to rise and fall. The slide 3 has four guide holes, and the lifting seat 7 is fixed with four guide rods 71, which pass through the four guide holes respectively. The lifting drive component 8 is an electric push rod, installed on the slide 3, and its telescopic end is connected to the lifting seat 7. The lifting seat 7 is equipped with a material frame 9, which includes four side frames 91, multiple connecting rods 92, and multiple horizontally arranged horizontal shafts 93. The upper end of the connecting rod 92 is fixed to the lifting seat 7, and the lower end is fixed to the side frame 91. At least two side frames 91 are fixed to the connecting rods 92.

[0026] Multiple horizontal shafts 93 are evenly spaced, and both ends of the horizontal shafts 93 are mounted on the side frame 91 via food-grade stainless steel bearings. Each horizontal shaft 93 has multiple support plates 95 fixed to its side wall. A torsion spring is mounted on each horizontal shaft 93, with one end fixed to the horizontal shaft 93 and the other end fixed to the side frame 91. The spring force drives the horizontal shaft 93 to rotate so that the support plates 95 abut against the bottom of adjacent horizontal shafts 93 or against the bottom of the side frame 91. The encoder mechanism 6 includes a frame 61 and a support platform 62 located at the bottom of the frame 61. The frame 61 is provided with several vertically arranged elastic friction strips 63. Friction wheels 94 are fixed to the ends of the horizontal shafts 93, and each friction wheel 94 corresponds to one of the elastic friction strips 63. The blanching container 5 includes a container body and a heating assembly.

[0027] Working Principle: Workers place the harvested green beans into the material frame 9, completing the loading. The power unit 4 drives the slide 3 to move above the blanching container 5. The lifting drive 8 drives the lifting seat 7 and material frame 9 to descend, immersing the material frame 9 in the high-temperature hot water of the blanching container 5. After blanching, the lifting drive 8 drives the lifting seat 7 and material frame 9 to rise, detaching the material frame 9 from the blanching container 5. The power unit 4 then drives the slide 3 to move the material frame 9 directly above the frame 61, simultaneously completing draining and cooling. The lifting drive 8 drives the lifting seat 7 and material frame 9 to descend again. During the descent, the friction wheel 94 contacts the elastic friction strip 63 and rotates, causing the horizontal shaft 93 to rotate and the support plate 95 to rotate downwards. When the material frame 9 reaches the lowest point of its stroke, the support plate 95 is vertically downwards, and the material frame 9 impacts the frame 61. The green beans inside the material frame 9 fall through the gap between the horizontal shafts 93 into the drying tray 10. Because the horizontal axes 93 are evenly spaced, the green beans falling into the drying tray 10 are basically evenly distributed, eliminating the need for manual placement by workers. This invention has a high degree of automation, reducing direct contact between workers and the green beans during processing and lowering the labor intensity of workers.
