Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coffee extraction, and more specifically, it relates to a discharging and tilting device for a coffee extraction tank. Background Technology

[0002] When extracting coffee, ground coffee powder needs to be filled into an extraction container, and then the coffee powder in the extraction container is extracted to obtain coffee concentrate. During extraction, most extraction containers are set as extraction tanks, which are cylindrical with one open end and a vertical axis.

[0003] After extraction, the remaining coffee grounds in the extraction vessel need to be poured out. However, coffee grounds will still adhere to the inner wall of the extraction vessel. In order to reuse the extraction vessel, it needs to be cleaned. First, the coffee grounds on the inner wall of the extraction vessel need to be rinsed with water. After rinsing, the coffee grounds remaining on the inner wall of the extraction vessel need to be cleaned by brushing. After brushing the extraction vessel, it needs to be rinsed again inside and out by spraying. During this series of operations, the extraction vessel is kept upside down and transported by a conveyor line. After cleaning, the extraction vessel needs to be turned upside down so that the opening faces upward. In the current technology, most extraction vessels are turned upside down manually one by one, which consumes a lot of manpower. Utility Model Content

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Example: A discharging and tilting device for a coffee extraction tank, see attached document. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 The system includes a conveyor line 1, a clamping mechanism 2, and a flipping mechanism 3. The conveyor line 1 is used to transport an inverted extraction tank. The clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the inverted extraction tank being transported on the conveyor line 1. The flipping mechanism 3 is located at the top of the conveyor line 1 and can drive the clamping mechanism 2 to flip around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line 1 to flip the inverted extraction tank to an upright position.

[0020] The conveyor line 1 transports the inverted extraction tank to the adjacent flipping mechanism 3. The clamping mechanism 2 clamps the inverted extraction tank, and then the flipping mechanism 3 drives the clamping mechanism 2 and the extraction tank to flip together by 180°, thereby flipping the extraction tank to be upright on the conveyor line 1.

[0021] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 2 includes two grippers 21, which slide along a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the clamping mechanism 2 to clamp and release the extraction vessel.

[0022] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 2 also includes a rotating seat 22 and a dual-axis bidirectional cylinder 23. The rotating seat 22 is connected to the flipping mechanism 3. The dual-axis bidirectional cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 22 and is used to drive the two grippers 21 to move.

[0023] Specifically, the two grippers 21 have an arc-shaped portion on their sides that are close to each other, which fits against the outside of the extraction vessel. The arc-shaped portion makes the gripper 21 hold the extraction vessel more stably when clamping it.

[0024] Specifically, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a flipping seat 31 and a flipping shaft 32. There are two flipping seats 31, which are respectively located on both sides of the top of the conveyor line 1. The two ends of the flipping shaft 32 are rotatably connected to the two flipping seats 31, and the flipping shaft 32 is connected to the rotating seat 22.

[0025] Specifically, the conveyor line 1 includes a transmission chain 11, sprockets 12, and drive shafts 13. There are two transmission chains 11 arranged side by side. Two sprockets 12 are provided at both ends of each transmission chain 11, and the transmission chains 11 are arranged in a closed loop around the corresponding two sprockets 12. There are two drive shafts 13, which are respectively provided at both ends of the transmission chain 11. The drive shafts 13 are coaxial with the two sprockets 12 at both ends of the transmission chain 11, and the ends of the drive shafts 13 are fixedly connected to the coaxial sprockets 12.

[0026] Specifically, this embodiment also includes a blocking mechanism 4, which is disposed above the conveyor line 1. The extraction tank passes through the blocking mechanism 4 and the flipping mechanism 3 in sequence on the conveyor line 1. The blocking mechanism 4 is used to block the next extraction tank during the flipping process of the extraction tank by the flipping mechanism 3.

[0027] Specifically, the blocking mechanism 4 includes a rotating frame 41 and a blocking rod 42. The rotating frame 41 is positioned above the conveyor line 1, and the end of the rotating frame 41 away from the flipping mechanism 3 rotates around a vertical axis. The blocking rod 42 is vertically positioned and fixedly connected to the end of the rotating frame 41 away from the rotation axis. The blocking rod 42 blocks and allows the extraction tank to pass through the rotation of the rotating frame 41.

[0028] Specifically, the blocking mechanism 4 also includes a blocking cylinder 43, which is used to drive the rotating frame 41 to rotate.

[0029] Specifically, the rotating shaft 32 is driven by a servo motor or a cylinder to rotate. When the rotating shaft 32 drives the extraction tank to rotate, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 32 is controlled so that the extraction tank will not have a hard impact with the conveyor line 1 when it rotates to the upright position and falls onto the conveyor line 1.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
