Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of areca nut processing equipment, specifically to a novel automatic feeding mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing betel nut production process, many steps require the cutting of betel nuts to be processed, such as adding brine, removing the kernels, and packaging.

[0003] The main drawback of existing betel nuts is that even if the betel nuts are delivered with their cut surfaces facing upwards, the orientation of the cut surfaces may still change during the fabrication process. Some betel nuts with their cut surfaces facing upwards may end up with their cut surfaces facing downwards. In the end, manual intervention is still required to turn the betel nuts that do not meet the requirements over, which increases labor costs and labor intensity, reduces efficiency, and also causes some contamination to the betel nuts due to hand contact during manual turning.

[0004] Therefore, in order to reduce the probability of areca nuts that are already cut and facing upwards being flipped again during the beca nut production process, and to improve the consistency of the cut orientation when the areca nuts are being spread, thereby reducing the number of personnel required to flip them later, developing a new type of automatic spreading mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts has become a direction for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel automatic feeding mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts, characterized in that it includes a frame, a feeding chute, a blocking mechanism, a feeding and releasing mechanism, a translation mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and an auxiliary material-supporting mechanism. The translation mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the feeding and releasing mechanism is mounted on the translation mechanism and can move synchronously. The input end of the feeding and releasing mechanism is equipped with a blocking mechanism, and the upper end of the blocking mechanism is adapted to be connected to the feeding chute. The translation mechanism is equipped with a conveying mechanism in the middle, and the conveying mechanism is equipped with an openable and closable auxiliary material-supporting mechanism. The conveying mechanism and the feeding and releasing mechanism are arranged vertically and vertically correspondingly.

[0006] Preferably, the material receiving and releasing mechanism includes a material receiving mounting plate, an outer frame, a material receiving cavity, a pin, a slide rod, a slide plate, and a telescopic cylinder. The material receiving mounting plate is slidably connected to the translation mechanism. An outer frame is laid at the center of the material receiving mounting plate. A material receiving cavity formed by left and right opposite splicing is provided inside the outer frame. The two ends of the material receiving cavity are movably connected to the outer frame through pins. The pin at the end of the material receiving cavity is connected to the slide rod. The slide rod is inserted into the slide plate. The slide plate is drivenly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the material blocking mechanism includes a mounting frame, a material blocking cylinder, and a material blocking plate. The mounting frame is provided at the lower end of the discharge chute, and the material blocking cylinder is inclinedly provided on the mounting frame. The output end of the material blocking cylinder is movably connected to the material blocking plate through a fisheye connector. The two sides of the material blocking plate are rotatably connected to the two sides of the discharge chute.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a novel automatic feeding mechanism for pre-cut areca nuts includes a frame 1, a feeding chute 2, a material blocking mechanism 3, a material receiving and releasing mechanism 4, a translation mechanism 5, a conveying mechanism 6, an auxiliary material supporting mechanism 7, a mounting frame 301, a material blocking cylinder 302, a material blocking plate 303, a material receiving mounting plate 401, an outer frame 402, a material receiving socket 403, a pin 404, a slide rod 405, a slide plate 406, a telescopic cylinder 407, a synchronous belt 601, a conveying socket 602, an auxiliary support 701, a finger cylinder 702, a material supporting mounting plate 703, and a material supporting socket 704.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a translation mechanism 5 is mounted on the frame 1. A material receiving and releasing mechanism 4 that can move synchronously is mounted on the translation mechanism 5. A material blocking mechanism 3 is mounted at the input end of the material receiving and releasing mechanism 4. The upper end of the material blocking mechanism 3 is adapted to be connected to the material discharge chute 2. A conveying mechanism 6 is mounted in the middle of the translation mechanism 5. An openable and closable auxiliary material supporting mechanism 7 is mounted on the conveying mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 6 and the material receiving and releasing mechanism 4 are arranged vertically and vertically respectively.

[0019] The material-blocking mechanism 3 includes a mounting frame 301, a material-blocking cylinder 302, and a material-blocking plate 303. The mounting frame 301 is mounted on the lower end of the discharge chute 2, and the material-blocking cylinder 302 is inclined on the mounting frame 301. The output end of the material-blocking cylinder 302 is movably connected to the material-blocking plate 303 through a fisheye connector. The two sides of the material-blocking plate 303 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the discharge chute 2, and the front end of the material-blocking plate 303 is inclined backward. The material-blocking mechanism 3 at the end of the discharge chute 2 limits the front end position of the areca nut when it slides down, which can effectively control the areca nut to fall accurately into the receiving cavity 403. The arc surface of the receiving cavity 403 is similar to the arc surface of the back of the areca nut, ensuring that the cut surface faces upward when it falls.

[0020] The material receiving and releasing mechanism 4 includes a material receiving mounting plate 401, an outer frame 402, a material receiving cavity 403, a pin 404, a slide rod 405, a slide plate 406, and a telescopic cylinder 407. The material receiving mounting plate 401 is slidably connected to the translation mechanism 5. The outer frame 402 is laid in the center of the material receiving mounting plate 401. The material receiving cavity 403, which is formed by left and right opposite splicing, is provided inside the outer frame 402. The two ends of the material receiving cavity 403 are movably connected to the outer frame 402 through the pin 404. The pin 404 at the end of the material receiving cavity 403 is connected to the slide rod 405. 05 is inserted into the slide plate 406. The slide plate 406 is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 407. The slide plate 406 and the material receiving cavity 403 are set opposite to each other. When the opposite set of material receiving cavities 403 are closed, they form a set of arc surfaces similar to the back of the areca nut. Since the left and right halves of the material receiving cavity 403 can rotate synchronously, when the areca nut is released to the conveying cavity 602 on the synchronous belt 601, the drop of the areca nut during the transmission process is small, and the areca nut will not flip when it falls, ensuring that the areca nut cut surface of the fabric is facing upwards.

[0021] The auxiliary material support mechanism 7 includes an auxiliary support 701, a finger cylinder 702, a material support mounting plate 703, and a material support recess 704. The auxiliary support 701 is located below the conveying mechanism 6. The finger cylinder 702 is mounted opposite to the auxiliary support 701. The output end of the finger cylinder 702 is connected to the material support mounting plate 703. The material support mounting plate 703 has a material support recess 704 on its inner side. The material support recesses 704 are arranged symmetrically in pairs. Each pair of material support recesses 704 consists of two symmetrical halves. When one pair of material support recesses 704 is closed, it interacts with the conveying recess on the conveying mechanism 6 below. 602 forms an arc-shaped groove similar to the receiving groove 403. When a set of supporting grooves 704 open, the areca nuts in the conveying groove 602 arranged on the conveying mechanism 6 move forward with the conveying mechanism 6 to the next station. The next set of empty conveying grooves 602 then moves to the bottom of the corresponding supporting groove 704, ready to receive the next set of areca nuts. When receiving the material, the auxiliary supporting mechanism 7 closes to ensure that the areca nuts will not flip over when receiving the material, thus improving the pass rate of the material with the cut surface facing up. When the auxiliary supporting mechanism 7 opens, it will not obstruct the movement of the conveying groove 602 to the next station.

[0022] The conveying mechanism 6 includes a synchronous belt 601 and a conveying trough 602. The synchronous belt 601 is located in the middle of the frame 1. Multiple sets of conveying troughs 602 are evenly arranged on the synchronous belt 601. The conveying troughs 602 are corresponding to the material support troughs 704 when closed.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After a single, cut areca nut with its cut surface facing upwards slides down from the feeding chute 2 and leaves the end of the chute, it falls into the first receiving slot 403 of the receiving and releasing mechanism 4, still facing upwards, due to the obstruction of the blocking mechanism 3. After the first receiving slot 403 is filled with material, the blocking mechanism 3 lifts up, and the receiving and releasing mechanism 4 moves forward with the translation mechanism 5 to the position of the next receiving slot 403. The blocking mechanism 3 then presses down to receive the next areca nut, thus filling the second receiving slot 403 as well. This process is repeated until all areca nuts are filled. The material receiving and releasing mechanism 4's receiving pockets 403 are filled with areca nuts. At this time, the telescopic cylinder 407 extends, driving the slide plate 406 downward. The slide groove on the slide plate 406 is in the shape of an "eight". As the slide plate 406 moves downward, the slide rod 405 moves towards the center line, driving the left and right receiving pockets 403 to rotate around the pin 404. The receiving pockets 403 open left and right, and the areca nuts fall into one of the multiple sets of conveying pockets 602 mounted on the annular synchronous belt 601 at the corresponding position under the receiving pocket 403. Before the areca nuts fall in, the auxiliary support mechanism 7 is in a closed state. At this time, the left and right halves of the auxiliary support mechanism 7 and the conveying socket 602 form an arc-shaped groove similar to the receiving socket 403, ensuring that the areca nuts will not flip when they fall in and will remain face up. After all the areca nuts have fallen in, a set of support sockets 704 on the auxiliary support mechanism 7 opens. The areca nuts placed in the conveying socket 602 move forward with the conveying mechanism 6 to the next station, while the next empty conveying socket 602 moves to the bottom of the corresponding support socket 704 to receive the next set of areca nuts. The feeding is completed in one go, and this process is repeated to achieve continuous feeding.

[0024] The accompanying drawings of this utility model illustrate the working process of one channel. When there are multiple channels, the working process is the same, and there is no mutual interference between the channels.

[0025] The overall structure of this utility model is simple. Through the cooperation of the material blocking mechanism 3, the material receiving and releasing mechanism 4, the translation mechanism 5, the conveying mechanism 6, and the auxiliary material supporting mechanism 7, the production cost and the labor intensity of personnel are reduced.

[0026] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, or improvements made in accordance with the claims of this utility model shall still fall within the scope of this utility model.
