Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metal detectors, and more particularly to a metal detector for seasoning production. Background Technology

[0002] Seasonings are food ingredients added in small amounts to enhance the flavor of food. Also known as condiments, they include natural plant and animal ingredients as well as synthetic products. They are categorized by taste (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, etc.) and aroma (spicy, fruity, etc.). They are also categorized by stage of use (added before or during cooking, such as cooking wine and salt) and condiments (added when eaten, such as chili oil and minced garlic). Traditionally, they primarily used natural ingredients like salt and star anise, while modern seasonings have developed into compound seasonings and technologically extracted ingredients. Regional culinary styles are often characterized by their distinctive seasonings, such as Indian asafoetida and European onions, and flavor combinations are achieved through ingredient substitutions. During the production and processing of seasonings, metal detectors are used to check for the presence of metallic materials.

[0003] When using existing metal detectors, two collection boxes are placed at the discharge end of the conveyor belt to sort the seasonings. However, when the collection boxes are full and need to be replaced, the machine needs to be stopped to prevent the seasonings from falling, which reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a metal detector for seasoning production.

[0005] The metal detector for seasoning production provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A metal detector for seasoning production includes a detection machine. The detection machine is equipped with a screening component for screening seasonings and a separating component for facilitating material discharge. The separating component includes a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to one end of the lower surface of the detection machine. The U-shaped frame is located below the screening component and has a separator plate fixedly connected inside. Rotating rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the U-shaped frame. Each rotating rod is fixedly connected to a baffle for blocking the bottom end of the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame is equipped with a fixing component for preventing the baffles from swinging.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, two collection boxes are placed below the U-shaped frame and on both sides of the partition plate. The screening component separates seasonings containing metal from those without metal, discharging them from both sides of the partition plate into the two collection boxes. When the collection boxes are full and need to be replaced, the two baffles are swung by rotating the rod, causing them to adhere to the bottom of the U-shaped frame and seal the bottom of the frame. This allows any fallen seasonings to be temporarily stored on the baffles before the collection box is replaced. This method minimizes the need for personnel to pause the machine when the collection boxes are full to prevent seasonings from falling and reducing work efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing component includes a fixing block fixedly connected to the bottom end of the U-shaped frame, and two insertion rods are provided on one side wall of the fixing block. One end of each insertion rod passes through the fixing block and is inserted into the baffle.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, after attaching the baffle to the bottom of the U-shaped frame and sealing the bottom of the U-shaped frame, the baffle is fixed to the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame by inserting the plug rod through the fixing block and connecting it to the baffle. This avoids the need for personnel to push the baffle while changing the collection box, which would increase the difficulty of operation.

[0010] Preferably, the screening assembly includes two connecting plates fixedly connected to the discharge end of the testing machine, a screening plate is disposed between the two connecting plates, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side walls of the screening plate, the end of the fixing rod away from the screening plate passes through the connecting plate and forms a rotatable connection, and a cylinder for pushing the fixing rod to rotate back and forth is installed on the testing machine.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the seasonings discharged by the detection machine are collected by the screening plate and transported to one of the collection boxes. When the detection machine detects metal, the control cylinder is started, which drives the fixed rod to rotate, causing the screening plate to swing and discharge the seasonings that fall on the screening plate from the other end to another collection box, thus screening the seasonings.

[0012] Preferably, protective plates for preventing seasonings from spilling are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the sieve plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the seasonings that fall onto the sieve plate are prevented from falling off from both sides of the sieve plate by the protective plate.

[0014] Preferably, mounting rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the baffle, a connecting rope is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting rod, and the end of the connecting rope away from the mounting rod is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the swing amplitude of the baffle can be limited by pulling the installation rod with the connecting rope, so that the baffle is tilted and the bottom of the U-shaped frame is partially opened. This prevents the seasoning from falling onto the baffle during the swing process when the bottom of the U-shaped frame is closed, and from splashing out to the outside of the collection box.

[0016] Preferably, a U-shaped block is fixedly connected to one side wall of the fixing block, one end of the plug rod passes through the U-shaped block and forms a sliding arrangement, and a limit block is fixedly connected to the plug rod, with the limit block located between the U-shaped block and the fixing block.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug rod is pulled out of the baffle, the limiting block and the U-shaped block are made to fit together, so as to avoid the plug rod being completely pulled out of the fixing block and prevent the plug rod from being lost.

[0018] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the plug rod, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the limiting block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the U-shaped block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring can push the limiting block to make the plug rod stably inserted into the baffle, preventing the seasoning from shaking when it falls into the baffle, causing the plug rod to detach from the baffle, resulting in the baffle swinging and the seasoning scattering.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. This application utilizes a combination of a U-shaped frame, partitions, and baffles. In use, two collection boxes are placed below the U-shaped frame and on either side of the partitions. The screening component separates seasonings containing metal from those without metal, discharging them from the sides of the partitions into the two collection boxes. When a collection box is full and needs replacement, the two baffles are swung by a rotating rod, causing them to adhere to the bottom of the U-shaped frame and seal the bottom. This allows any fallen seasonings to be temporarily stored on the baffles, facilitating the replacement of the collection box. This design minimizes the need for personnel to pause the machine when the collection box is full to prevent seasonings from falling and reducing work efficiency.

[0022] 2. By pulling the installation rod with the connecting rope, the swing amplitude of the baffle can be limited, so that the baffle is tilted and the bottom of the U-shaped frame is partially opened. This prevents the seasoning from falling onto the baffle during the swing process when the bottom of the U-shaped frame is closed, and from splashing out of the collection box.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0029] This application discloses a metal detector for seasoning production.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A metal detector for seasoning production includes a detector 1. The detector 1 is existing technology, such as the metal detector proposed in announcement number CN220455278U, so it will not be described in detail here. The detector 1 is equipped with a screening component for screening seasonings and a separating component for easy discharge. The separating component includes a U-shaped frame 2, a separating plate 3, a rotating rod 4 and a baffle 5.

[0031] The U-shaped frame 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower surface of the testing machine 1. The U-shaped frame 2 is located below the screening component. The partition plate 3 is fixedly connected to the middle section inside the U-shaped frame 2. Two rotating rods 4 are provided, which are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 2 respectively. Two baffles 5 are provided, which are respectively sleeved on the rotating rods 4 and formed a fixed connection. The upper surfaces of the two baffles 5 are in contact with the lower surface of the U-shaped frame 2, and the opposite ends of the two baffles 5 are in contact with each other to close the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 2. The U-shaped frame 2 is provided with a fixing component to prevent the baffles 5 from swinging.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The fixing component includes a fixing block 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2. Two plug-in rods 7 are provided on one side wall of the fixing block 6. One end of the plug-in rod 7 passes through the fixing block 6 and is plugged into the baffle 5 respectively. After the baffle 5 is attached to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2 and the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2 is sealed, the baffle 5 is fixed to the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 2 by plugging the plug-in rod 7 through the fixing block 6 and plugging it into the baffle 5. This avoids the need for personnel to push the baffle 5 while changing the collection box, which would increase the difficulty of operation.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The screening assembly includes two connecting plates 8 fixedly connected to the discharge end of the testing machine 1. A screening plate 9 is arranged between the two connecting plates 8. Fixed rods 10 are fixedly connected to the side walls of both sides of the screening plate 9. The end of the fixed rod 10 away from the screening plate 9 passes through the connecting plate 8 and forms a rotatable connection. A cylinder 11 is installed on the testing machine 1 to push the fixed rod 10 to rotate back and forth. The screening plate 9 collects the seasoning discharged by the testing machine 1 and transports the seasoning to one of the collection boxes. When the testing machine 1 detects metal, it starts the cylinder 11 to drive the fixed rod 10 to rotate, causing the screening plate 9 to swing and discharge the seasoning that falls on the screening plate 9 from the other end to another collection box, thus screening the seasoning.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The upper surface of the sieve plate 9 is fixedly connected to both sides of the protective plate 12 to prevent the seasoning from spilling. The protective plate 12 prevents the seasoning that falls on the sieve plate 9 from falling off the sides of the sieve plate 9.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The baffle 5 is fixedly connected to two ends with mounting rods 13. One end of the mounting rod 13 is fixedly connected to a connecting rope 14. The end of the connecting rope 14 away from the mounting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 2. By pulling the mounting rod 13 through the connecting rope 14, the swing amplitude of the baffle 5 can be limited, so that the baffle 5 is tilted and the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 2 is partially opened. This prevents the seasoning from falling onto the baffle 5 during the swing process when the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 2 is closed, and from being splashed by the baffle 5 and discharged to the outside of the collection box.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 A U-shaped block 15 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the fixing block 6. One end of the plug rod 7 passes through the U-shaped block 15 and is slidably connected. The plug rod 7 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 16, which is located between the U-shaped block 15 and the fixing block 6. When the plug rod 7 is pulled out of the baffle 5, the limiting block 16 is made to fit with the U-shaped block 15 to prevent the plug rod 7 from being completely pulled out of the fixing block 6 and to prevent the plug rod 7 from being lost.

[0037] Reference Figure 4A spring 17 is fitted on the plug rod 7. One end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 16, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped block 15. The spring 17 can push the limiting block 16 to make the plug rod 7 stably inserted into the baffle 5, preventing the seasoning from shaking when it falls onto the baffle 5, causing the plug rod 7 to detach from the baffle 5, resulting in the baffle 5 swinging and the seasoning scattering.

[0038] The implementation principle of a metal detector for seasoning production according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, two collection boxes are first placed below the U-shaped frame 2 and located on either side of the partition plate 3. The seasoning detected and discharged by the detector 1 is collected by the screening plate 9 and transported to one of the collection boxes. When the detector 1 detects metal, the control cylinder 11 is activated, driving the fixed rod 10 to rotate, causing the screening plate 9 to swing, discharging the seasoning that falls onto the screening plate 9 from the other end into the other collection box. The seasonings are sieved. When the collection box is full and needs to be replaced, the two baffles 5 are swung by rotating the rod 4 so that the two baffles 5 fit against the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2. Then, the plug rod 7 is inserted through the fixing block 6 and connected to the baffle 5 to fix the baffle 5 to the bottom wall of the U-shaped frame 2, sealing the bottom of the U-shaped frame 2. This allows the fallen seasonings to be temporarily stored on the baffles 5, and the collection box can be replaced. This method avoids the problem of having to stop the machine when the collection box is full to prevent the seasonings from falling and reducing work efficiency.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
