Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing equipment technology, and more specifically to a kudzu root strip punching device. Background Technology
[0002] After being washed, crushed, and extruded, kudzu root is often made into strip-shaped semi-finished products. In order to make it easier for water and auxiliary materials to penetrate and shorten the drying time during subsequent drying, seasoning, or compound processing, it is usually necessary to punch holes evenly on the kudzu root strips. On existing production lines, kudzu root strips are often placed manually one by one at the punching station, or a simple conveyor belt with a single-station punching structure is used for processing.
[0003] The existing technologies described above have the following main problems:
[0004] 1. Feeding and turning rely on manual labor, resulting in low automation. Existing vibrating feeding trays or feeding devices mostly only achieve unidirectional conveying of kudzu strips. After the material is conveyed to a certain straight channel, it is still necessary to manually transfer the kudzu strips laterally and align them with the punching station. The operation is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and prone to inconsistent punching positions due to manual placement errors.
[0005] 2. The material feeding and discharging at the punching station is not smooth, and it is easy to accumulate and block the material. Most of the existing punching mechanisms are unidirectional push or rely on gravity to complete the feeding and discharging. After punching, the kudzu strips are often stuck in the punching area and need to be pushed out manually or by an additional mechanism. Otherwise, it will affect the next kudzu strip entering the punching position, resulting in a reduction in production cycle.
[0006] Therefore, existing kudzu strip punching equipment still has shortcomings in automatic feeding, stable lateral transfer, reliable limiting, and control of material entry and exit in the punching area. It is necessary to provide a device with a reasonable structure, coordinated actions, and the ability to achieve continuous and stable punching of kudzu strips. Utility Model Content
[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a punching device for kudzu root strips.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution, mainly including:
[0009] A punching device for kudzu strips includes a vibrating feeding plate and a punching processing table. The punching processing table includes a worktable, a pushing cylinder, a feeding cylinder, a discharging cylinder, and a gantry-type punching cylinder structure. The discharge port of the vibrating feeding plate is connected to a feeding channel. The worktable surface has a feeding channel and a punching feeding channel pre-set, which are arranged parallel to each other. The pushing cylinder pushes the kudzu strips laterally into the punching feeding channel. A gantry-type punching cylinder structure is provided at one end of the punching feeding channel, and a discharging cylinder is provided on the other side of the end.
[0010] In a specific embodiment, the end of the feeding device is provided with a pushing cylinder A perpendicular to the channel, and the output end of the pushing cylinder A is equipped with a strip-shaped pushing block of the same size as the kudzu strip; a transverse connecting channel is preset between the feeding channel and the punching feeding channel, and the starting point of the pushing cylinder A is located in the feeding channel and the ending point is located in the punching feeding channel, which is used to push the kudzu strip from the feeding channel into the punching feeding channel through the connecting channel.
[0011] In a specific embodiment, the height of the punching feed channel is lower than that of the feeding channel, and a pushing cylinder B is provided on the opposite side of the pushing cylinder A. The pushing cylinder B terminates on the side of the punching feed channel to prevent the kudzu strips from leaving the punching feed channel.
[0012] In a specific embodiment, a feeding cylinder and a discharging cylinder are respectively arranged on both sides of the punching feeding channel. The starting point of the feeding cylinder is located on one side of the punching feeding channel, and the ending point is located below the gantry punching cylinder structure. The discharging cylinder is arranged opposite to the feeding cylinder and is used to push the punched kudzu strips away from below the gantry punching cylinder structure.
[0013] In a specific embodiment, a discharge port is provided in the middle of the punching feed channel, located at the front end of the gantry punching cylinder structure, and a bridging cylinder is provided at the discharge port. The end pusher of the bridging cylinder is provided with a push block containing a channel groove.
[0014] In one specific embodiment, the gantry-type punching cylinder includes a column, a punching block, and a punching groove.
[0015] This invention features a vibrating feeding plate, a feeding channel, a punching feed channel, and a transverse connecting channel on a workbench. Combined with an end-push cylinder A and a strip-shaped pusher block matching the kudzu strip, the kudzu strips are automatically pushed laterally from the feeding channel into the punching feed channel, reducing manual intervention. By designing the punching feed channel to be lower than the feeding channel and placing a pusher cylinder B opposite to pusher cylinder A, the kudzu strips are clamped and limited, preventing them from detaching from the channel during transfer and ensuring stable positioning before punching. Feeding cylinders and... The discharge cylinder feeds and pushes kudzu strips into and out of the gantry-type punching cylinder structure in an orderly manner, ensuring smooth material flow at the punching station and facilitating continuous operation. A discharge port and a bridging cylinder with a channel groove are located in the middle of the punching feed channel. When continuous conveying is needed, the discharge port is bridged through the channel groove; when unloading is needed, the bridging cylinder retracts, enabling controllable switching between conveying and unloading on the same channel. The end adopts a gantry-type punching cylinder structure composed of columns, stamping blocks, and stamping grooves, providing good overall rigidity and high alignment accuracy, which is beneficial for obtaining kudzu strips with consistent hole positions and regular hole shapes. Therefore, the machine has a compact structure and clear material flow, enabling automated continuous processing of kudzu strips from feeding, transferring, positioning, punching to discharging and unloading, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] In one specific embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the following directional relationships are based on the direction of kudzu strip conveying. The kudzu strip punching device of this embodiment includes a vibrating feeding plate 2 disposed on the worktable and a punching processing table. The punching processing table mainly includes a worktable surface 1, a pushing cylinder assembly 3, a feeding cylinder 4, a discharging cylinder 42, and a gantry-type punching cylinder structure 7.
[0022] The workbench 1 is a welded or cast steel plate structure. Its upper surface is machined to form multiple channels for conveying and positioning kudzu root strips, including a feeding channel 11 extending along the feeding direction of the kudzu root strips and a punched feeding channel 12 arranged parallel to it. The two are connected by a transverse connecting channel 13. A vibrating feeding plate 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 1. Its outlet is connected to the inlet of the feeding channel 11. The vibrating feeding plate 2 uses vibration to orderly output the scattered kudzu root strips, causing them to enter the feeding channel 11 in a single row.
[0023] At the end of the feeding channel 11, a pushing cylinder A31 is installed perpendicular to the length direction of the feeding channel 11 and the punching feed channel 12. The pushing cylinder A31 is fixedly installed below or to the side of the worktable 1, and its output end extends upward or laterally out of the worktable 1 and is connected to a strip-shaped pushing block 32. The width and height of the pushing block 32 are basically matched with the cross-sectional dimensions of the kudzu strip, and its length covers the width of the transverse connecting channel 13. The starting position of the stroke of the pushing cylinder A31 corresponds to the inside of the feeding channel 11. When the pushing cylinder A31 extends, the pushing block 32 moves along the transverse connecting channel 13, pushing the kudzu strip located at the end of the feeding channel 11 from the feeding channel 11 through the transverse connecting channel 13 into the punching feed channel 12, realizing the automatic transverse transfer of the kudzu strip from the feeding channel 11 to the punching feed channel 12.
[0024] To improve the stability of the kudzu strips during the lateral transfer process, the height of the punching feed channel 12 is designed to be lower than that of the feeding channel 11. This means the punching feed channel 12 forms a deeper groove-like structure, giving the kudzu strips a tendency to fall and position themselves when pushed in. Simultaneously, a pushing cylinder B33 is positioned opposite the pushing cylinder A31, also perpendicular to the channel length, with its output end terminating near the side wall of the punching feed channel 12. When the pushing cylinder A31 pushes the kudzu strips through the lateral connecting channel 13 and into the punching feed channel 12, the pushing cylinder B33 can extend appropriately as needed to clamp or limit the kudzu strips, preventing them from popping out or deviating from the punching feed channel 12 due to inertia or unstable position, thus ensuring stable positioning of the kudzu strips before punching.
[0025] Feed cylinder 4 and discharge cylinder 42 are respectively installed on both sides near the end of the punching feed channel 12. The feed cylinder 4 is fixed to one side of the punching feed channel 12, with its output end facing the punching feed channel 12. It can push the kudzu strip from the middle position of the punching feed channel 12 to the bottom of the gantry punching cylinder structure 7. The termination position of the feed cylinder 4 corresponds to the punching position of the gantry punching cylinder structure 7. The discharge cylinder 42 is installed on the side opposite to the feed cylinder 4, with its output end facing the opposite direction to the feed cylinder 4. It is used to push the kudzu strip located below the gantry punching cylinder structure 7 along the punching feed channel 12 after the punching process is completed, so as to keep the punching station area unobstructed and reserve a position for the next kudzu strip to enter.
[0026] A discharge port 5 is located in the middle of the punching feed channel 12 and before the gantry-type punching cylinder structure 7. The discharge port 5 is an opening that penetrates the worktable 1 and is used to drop the kudzu strips passing through this position to the receiving device (such as a receiving box or conveyor belt) below when needed. In order to take into account the continuous conveying function of the channel, a bridging cylinder 6 is provided at the discharge port 5. The bridging cylinder 6 is fixed below the worktable 1, and its output end is connected to a push block 61. The push block 61 is provided with a channel groove extending along the conveying direction of the kudzu strips. When the bridging cylinder 6 extends, the push block 61 moves upward or inserts laterally into the discharge port 5, so that the cross-sectional dimensions of the channel groove are basically consistent with those of the punching feed channel 12, thereby forming a continuous channel at the discharge port 5, through which the kudzu strips can pass smoothly without falling. When the kudzu strips need to be discharged, the bridging cylinder 6 retracts, and the push block 61 and the channel groove exit the position of the discharge port 5. At this time, the punching feed channel 12 forms an opening at the discharge port 5, and the kudzu strips fall from the discharge port 5 under their own gravity or other pushing forces, thus achieving fixed-point discharge.
[0027] A gantry-type punching cylinder structure 7 is provided at the end of the punching feed channel 12. The gantry-type punching cylinder structure 7 includes opposing columns 71 and a crossbeam spanning the columns 71. A punching cylinder is mounted on the crossbeam, and the piston rod end of the punching cylinder is connected to a punching block 72. The punching block 72 is positioned corresponding to the punching feed channel 12, and a punching groove 73 is formed below it on the worktable 1 or a special support. The groove opening size of the punching groove 73 matches the shape of the kudzu strip and the punching position, and is used to provide support and hole fit for the kudzu strip when the punching block 72 moves downward. During punching, the kudzu strips are accurately positioned between the punching block 72 and the punching groove 73 under the push of the feeding cylinder 4. The punching cylinder drives the punching block 72 to move downward to punch the kudzu strips. After punching is completed, the punching block 72 moves upward to reset, and the discharge cylinder 42 is activated to push the punched kudzu strips away from below the gantry-type punching cylinder structure 7 to the subsequent work station or conveying device.
[0028] In this embodiment, the vibrating feeding plate 2 cooperates with the feeding channel 11 to achieve automatic alignment and feeding of kudzu strips; the pushing cylinder A31, the pushing block 32, and the transverse connecting channel 13 cooperate to achieve automatic transverse transfer of kudzu strips from the feeding channel 11 to the punching feeding channel 12; the height difference between the punching feeding channel 12 and the feeding channel 11, as well as the opposite side limit of the pushing cylinder B33, ensure the stability of the kudzu strips during the transfer and positioning process; by arranging the feeding cylinder 4 and the discharging cylinder 42 on both sides of the punching feeding channel 12, accurate feeding and timely discharging of kudzu strips under the gantry punching cylinder structure 7 are achieved; by setting the discharge port 5 and the bridging cylinder 6 with the channel groove in the middle of the punching feeding channel 12, continuous conveying or fixed-point feeding can be selected on the same channel according to process requirements; by adopting the gantry punching cylinder structure 7 composed of the column 71, the stamping block 72, and the stamping groove 73, the structural rigidity and alignment accuracy during punching are improved.
[0029] With the above-described structural combination, the kudzu strip punching device described in this embodiment can realize the automated and continuous processing of kudzu strips from feeding, lateral transfer, positioning, punching, discharge and unloading. The equipment has a compact structure and coordinated operation, making it suitable for widespread use on large-scale kudzu strip production lines.
[0030] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
