Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a non-powered material receiving and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Vibrating screens are used in food processing, such as in the residue separation process of plant-based protein beverage production. In line production, multiple vibrating screens are often used in parallel, for example, two vibrating screens and two subsequent material receiving tanks used alternately. Vibrating screens are characterized by high-frequency vibration and unstable output; therefore, fixed pipeline connections are not suitable for subsequent material receiving and conveying devices. Furthermore, for protein beverages, pumping can easily increase foam, affecting product quality. Traditionally, temporary storage tanks and transfer pumps are used for receiving and conveying material after vibrating screens. During production, the temporary storage tank needs to accumulate a certain amount before pumping can continue, and the tailings need to be thoroughly rinsed with water. Additionally, the conveying process is prone to dry suction, which can damage the transfer pump; therefore, it is necessary to prevent the transfer pump from dry suction. Traditional conveying methods are time-consuming and can dilute the material. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a non-powered material receiving and conveying device that can realize the real-time alternating conveying of materials after vibrating screening to different storage tanks and improve production efficiency.

[0004] One embodiment of this application provides a non-powered material receiving and conveying device.

[0005] A non-powered material receiving and conveying device includes a first receiving container, a second receiving container, a first discharge pipe, a second discharge pipe, a connecting pipe, and a support mechanism. The first receiving container is connected to the first discharge pipe, and the second receiving container is connected to the second discharge pipe. The two ends of the connecting pipe are respectively connected to the first discharge pipe and the second discharge pipe and can be connected to or closed to the first discharge pipe and the second discharge pipe, respectively. The connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the support mechanism so that the connecting pipe can rotate.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first discharge pipe is provided with a first valve and a second valve, and one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the first discharge pipe at a position between the first valve and the second valve.

[0007] In some embodiments, the second discharge pipe is provided with a third valve and a fourth valve, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the second discharge pipe at a position between the third valve and the fourth valve.

[0008] In some embodiments, a fifth valve is provided on the connecting pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, a sixth valve is provided on the connecting pipe to control its opening and closing, wherein the fifth valve and the sixth valve are located at two ends of the connecting pipe, respectively.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support mechanism supports the connecting pipe at a midpoint.

[0011] In some embodiments, the unpowered material receiving and conveying device further includes a first limiting component located on one side of the support mechanism, one end of which is connected to the connecting pipe and the other end of which is used to connect to the base or the ground.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first limiting component includes a first limiting rope.

[0013] In some embodiments, the length of the first limiting member is adjustable.

[0014] In some embodiments, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device further includes a second limiting component located on the other side of the support mechanism, with one end of the second limiting component connected to the connecting pipe and the other end used to connect to the base or the ground.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second limiting component includes a second limiting rope.

[0016] In some embodiments, the length of the second limiting member is adjustable.

[0017] In some embodiments, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device further includes a first storage container connected to the first discharge pipe to collect material from the first discharge pipe and / or the second discharge pipe.

[0018] In some embodiments, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device further includes a second storage container connected to the second discharge pipe to collect material from the first discharge pipe and / or the second discharge pipe.

[0019] The aforementioned non-powered material conveying device can realize the real-time alternating conveying of materials after vibrating screening to different storage tanks, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0020] In this application, a first receiving container and a second receiving container are respectively used to receive upstream materials, such as plant protein beverages. The material in the first receiving container is conveyed through a first discharge pipe connected to its outlet, and the material in the second receiving container is conveyed through a second discharge pipe connected to its outlet. During the conveying process, the conveying direction can be alternately conveyed by a connecting pipe that connects the first discharge pipe and the second discharge pipe at both ends. Since the connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the support mechanism, the connecting pipe can perform lever movement, that is, the connecting pipe can tilt in the desired direction. For example, when the first discharge pipe and the connecting pipe are closed, the material in the second receiving container can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the second discharge pipe; when the first discharge pipe and the connecting pipe are closed, the material in the second receiving container can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the second discharge pipe; when the first discharge pipe and the second discharge pipe are closed, the material in the second receiving container can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the second discharge pipe. When the two discharge pipes are closed to the connecting pipe, the material in the first receiving container can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the first discharge pipe. When the first discharge pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, the first discharge pipe is closed to its corresponding storage tank, and the connecting pipe is connected to the second discharge pipe, controlling the end of the connecting pipe towards the second discharge pipe to tilt downwards can ensure that the material in both the first and second receiving containers enters the second discharge pipe. When the second discharge pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, the second discharge pipe is closed to its corresponding storage tank, and the connecting pipe is connected to the first discharge pipe, controlling the end of the connecting pipe towards the first discharge pipe to tilt downwards can ensure that the material in both the first and second receiving containers enters the first discharge pipe. In summary, in this application, when the first receiving container and the second receiving container receive and discharge materials respectively, the flow direction of the liquid can be controlled simply by adjusting the inclination direction of the connecting pipe and the connection / disconnection between the connecting pipe and the first and second discharge pipes. This eliminates the need for a conveying pump, saving the expense of installing one and avoiding the problems of preventing dry suction of the conveying pump and the pump's susceptibility to damage during the conveying process, as is common in traditional technologies. Receiving materials through the first and second receiving containers avoids the losses caused by long-term vibration associated with hose connections in traditional technologies. Furthermore, all the material in the first and second receiving containers can be transported into the storage tank without the need for top-water treatment, thus preventing material dilution.

[0032] This application provides a non-powered material receiving and conveying device to solve at least one of the following technical problems in the conventional method of receiving and conveying food such as plant protein beverages after vibrating screen using temporary storage tanks and conveying pumps: (1) the production process requires the temporary storage tank to accumulate a certain amount before pumping can continue, resulting in low production efficiency; (2) the tail material needs to be rinsed clean with water, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive; (3) the conveying process is prone to dry suction, which can damage the conveying pump, so it is necessary to prevent the conveying pump from dry suction, which poses a safety risk. The non-powered material receiving and conveying device will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 provided in one embodiment of this application is exemplary; please refer to [link to example]. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 provided in one embodiment of this application. The non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 of this application can be used in conjunction with a vibrating screen, for example, for receiving and conveying food such as plant protein beverages.

[0034] To more clearly illustrate the structure of the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] For example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, a non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 includes a first receiving container 100, a second receiving container 200, a first discharge pipe 300, a second discharge pipe 400, a connecting pipe 500, and a support mechanism 600. The first receiving container 100 is connected to the first discharge pipe 300. The second receiving container 200 is connected to the second discharge pipe 400. The two ends of the connecting pipe 500 are respectively connected to the first discharge pipe 300 and the second discharge pipe 400, and can be connected to or closed to the first discharge pipe 300 and the second discharge pipe 400, respectively. The connecting pipe 500 is rotatably connected to the support mechanism 600 so that the connecting pipe 500 can rotate, that is, it moves approximately like a seesaw.

[0036] The aforementioned non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 can realize the real-time alternating conveying of materials after vibrating screening to different storage tanks, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 can be configured as receiving hoppers. The first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 are respectively connected to the corresponding upstream discharge pipe. In this application, the provision of receiving hoppers ensures that the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 remain connected to the corresponding upstream discharge pipe even when the connecting pipe 500 tilts and rotates. This application, through a contactless connection, ensures that the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 do not detach from the upstream discharge pipe, eliminating the need for direct connection with hoses in traditional technologies and avoiding problems such as hose wear.

[0038] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, a first valve 901 and a second valve 902 are provided on the first discharge pipe 300. One end of the connecting pipe 500 is connected to the first discharge pipe 300 at the position between the first valve 901 and the second valve 902, and is connected to the first discharge pipe 300, so as to realize the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 500 and the first discharge pipe 300.

[0039] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, a third valve 903 and a fourth valve 904 are provided on the second discharge pipe 400. The other end of the connecting pipe 500 is connected to the second discharge pipe 400 at the position between the third valve 903 and the fourth valve 904, and is connected to the second discharge pipe 400, so as to realize the opening and closing of the connecting pipe 500 and the second discharge pipe 400.

[0040] In some embodiments, a fifth valve 905 is provided on the connecting pipe 500.

[0041] In some embodiments, a sixth valve 906 is provided on the connecting pipe 500 to control its opening and closing. See also Figure 1 As shown, the fifth valve 905 and the sixth valve 906 are located at the two ends of the connecting pipe 500, respectively. The fifth valve 905 and the sixth valve 906 can be opened simultaneously, closed simultaneously, or one can be opened or closed selectively as needed.

[0042] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, the first valve 901 is located near the first receiving container 100, and the second valve 902 is located at the end away from the first receiving container 100.

[0043] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, the third valve 903 is located near the second receiving container 200, and the fourth valve 904 is located at the end away from the second receiving container 200.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first valve 901 and the third valve 903 are each an independent check valve.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second valve 902, the fourth valve 904, the fifth valve 905, and the sixth valve 906 are each independently a ball valve.

[0046] In some embodiments, the support mechanism 600 supports the connecting pipe 500 at the middle position of the connecting pipe 500.

[0047] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 also includes a first limiting component 710. The first limiting component 710 is located on one side of the support mechanism 600. One end of the first limiting component 710 is connected to the connecting pipe 500 and the other end is used to connect to the base or the ground.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first limiting member 710 includes a first limiting cord. The first limiting cord is non-elastic.

[0049] In some embodiments, the length of the first limiting member 710 is adjustable.

[0050] In some implementations, see Figure 1 As shown, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 also includes a second limiting component 720. The second limiting component 720 is located on the other side of the support mechanism 600. One end of the second limiting component 720 is connected to the connecting pipe 500 and the other end is used to connect to the base or the ground.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 720 includes a second limiting cord. The second limiting cord is non-elastic.

[0052] In some embodiments, the length of the second limiting member 720 is adjustable.

[0053] In one specific example, the length of the first limiting rope is the same as the length of the second limiting rope. During use, the operator can adjust the lengths of the first and second limiting ropes to adjust the inclination direction of the connecting pipe 500. The inclination direction of the connecting pipe 500 is set according to the incoming and stored material requirements. It should be noted that the inclination direction of the connecting pipe 500 is not singular, but changes in real time during production. For example, it may be in one inclination direction for a period of time (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), in the next time period, process the opposite tilt direction (such as...). Figure 3 (As shown).

[0054] In some embodiments, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 further includes a first storage container 810. The first storage container 810 communicates with the first discharge pipe 300 to collect material from the first discharge pipe 300 and / or the second discharge pipe 400. It should be noted that the first discharge pipe 300 and the first storage container 810 are not fixedly connected, but can be configured to extend the first discharge pipe 300 into the first storage container 810. This configuration ensures that the first discharge pipe 300 has a certain amount of room for movement.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first storage container 810 includes a first storage tank.

[0056] In some embodiments, the non-powered material receiving and conveying device 10 further includes a second storage container 820. The second storage container 820 communicates with the second discharge pipe 400 to collect material from the first discharge pipe 300 and / or the second discharge pipe 400. It should be noted that the second discharge pipe 400 and the second storage container 820 are not fixedly connected, but can be configured to extend into the second storage container 820. This configuration ensures that the second discharge pipe 400 has a certain amount of room for movement.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second storage container 820 includes a second storage tank.

[0058] In one specific example, one end of the first limiting member 710 can be fixed to the first storage container 810 or its bottom surface. One end of the second limiting member 720 can be fixed to the second storage container 820 or its bottom surface.

[0059] In this application, a first receiving container 100 and a second receiving container 200 are respectively used to receive upstream materials, such as plant protein beverages. The material in the first receiving container 100 is conveyed through a first discharge pipe 300 connected to its outlet, and the material in the second receiving container 200 is conveyed through a second discharge pipe 400 connected to its outlet. During the conveying process, the conveying direction can be alternately conveyed by a connecting pipe 500 that connects the first discharge pipe 300 and the second discharge pipe 400 at both ends. Since the connecting pipe 500 is rotatably connected to the support mechanism 600, the connecting pipe 500 can perform lever movement, that is, the connecting pipe 500 can tilt in the desired direction. For example, when the first discharge pipe 300 and the connecting pipe 500 are connected, the conveying direction can be adjusted. When the connection between the first and second receiving containers is closed, the material in the second receiving container 200 can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the second discharge pipe 400. When the second discharge pipe 400 and the connecting pipe 500 are closed, the material in the first receiving container 100 can be discharged into its corresponding storage tank through the first discharge pipe 300. When the first discharge pipe 300 and the connecting pipe 500 are connected, the first discharge pipe 300 and its corresponding storage tank are closed, and the connecting pipe 500 and the second discharge pipe 400 are connected, controlling the end of the connecting pipe 500 facing the second discharge pipe 400 to tilt downwards allows the material in both the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 to enter the second discharge pipe 400. (See also...) Figure 2 As shown; when the second discharge pipe 400 is connected to the connecting pipe 500, the second discharge pipe 400 is closed to its corresponding storage tank, and the connecting pipe 500 is connected to the first discharge pipe 300, controlling the end of the connecting pipe 500 facing the first discharge pipe 300 to tilt downwards can ensure that the material in the first receiving container 100 and the material in the second receiving container 200 both enter the first discharge pipe 300. See [reference needed]. Figure 3 As shown.

[0060] In summary, in this application, when the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 receive and discharge materials respectively, the flow direction of the liquid material can be controlled simply by adjusting the inclination direction of the connecting pipe 500 and the connection / disconnection between the connecting pipe 500 and the first discharge pipe 300 and the second discharge pipe 400. This eliminates the need for a conveying pump, saving the expense of installing one and avoiding the problems of preventing the conveying pump from running dry and being easily damaged during the conveying process, which are common in traditional technologies. Furthermore, by using the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 to receive materials, this application avoids the losses caused by long-term vibration associated with hose connections in traditional technologies. Finally, in this application, all the material in the first receiving container 100 and the second receiving container 200 can be transported into the storage tank without the need for top-water treatment, thus avoiding the problem of material dilution.

[0062] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0063] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent application.
