Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chrysanthemum feeding technology, specifically an automatic chrysanthemum feeding and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] As an important plant used for both food and medicine, chrysanthemums need to undergo multiple processes after harvesting, including washing, drying, sorting, and packaging. Each process requires the use of a conveyor system to transport the chrysanthemums.

[0003] According to application number CN201320645159.X, a chrysanthemum material conveying device for a chrysanthemum blanching machine includes a motor, a transmission belt, a driving roller, a driven roller, a conveyor belt, several support rollers, and a feed hopper. Its features include: a roller support frame, a long support frame, and a short support frame. The short support frame is fixed to one end of the roller support frame. The feed hopper includes a front baffle plate, a rear baffle plate, a left baffle plate, a right baffle plate, a material gate, a left mounting frame, a right mounting frame, a rear plastic strip, a left plastic strip, and a right plastic strip. The feed hopper forms a structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The left mounting frame and the left plastic strip are both fixed to the bottom of the left baffle plate. The left mounting frame and the right mounting frame are both mounted on the roller support frame. The bottoms of the rear plastic strip, the left plastic strip, and the right plastic strip are all in contact with the conveying surface of the conveyor belt.

[0004] The conveying device in the above case requires manual handling to move the basket containing chrysanthemums to the top of the feed hopper, and then manually tilt the basket to pour the chrysanthemums into the feed hopper. This not only increases labor but also makes it easy for chrysanthemums to spill onto the outside of the conveyor belt due to manual operation. This requires additional workers to clean up the residual materials on the ground, which not only wastes raw materials but also increases the workshop cleaning time. Therefore, we provide an automatic chrysanthemum feeding and conveying device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic chrysanthemum feeding and conveying device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic chrysanthemum feeding and conveying device, comprising a base plate, a conveyor body mounted on the top of the base plate, a drive feeding component disposed on the left side of the base plate, the drive feeding component being used to feed chrysanthemums, a limit clamping component disposed on the drive feeding component, the limit clamping component being used to clamp the container storing the chrysanthemums, and a guide flow guiding component disposed on the drive feeding component, the guide flow guiding component being used to guide the fed chrysanthemums onto the conveyor body.

[0007] Optionally, the drive feeding assembly includes a base, which is located on the left side of the base plate. A vertical plate is installed on the left side of the top of the base, and a first electric push rod is installed on the left side of the vertical plate.

A second electric push rod is installed in the grooves on both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the bearing concave plate, and a flexible clamping plate is installed on the output end of the second electric push rod.

[0010] Optionally, the guiding and diverting assembly includes a mounting block, which is mounted on the back of the base. A fixing block is mounted on the right side of the mounting block. A guide frame is mounted on the front of the fixing block at a position corresponding to the conveyor body. A guide hopper communicating with the guide frame is mounted on the top of the guide frame. An arc-shaped baffle is mounted on the top of the guide hopper.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model completely liberates manual labor by automatically linking the feeding component and the limiting clamping component. The bearing concave plate of the limiting clamping component can directly support the loading container on the ground. The threaded rod is driven to rotate by the servo motor, which drives the threaded block and the adjusting plate to rise and fall. The container can be automatically raised from the ground height to the pouring height of the guide hopper without the need for workers to bend over and lift it. The first electric push rod drives the loading container to move above the guide hopper. The rotary motor can drive the bearing concave plate to drive the container to rotate precisely. When the container rotates to the pouring angle, the chrysanthemum can automatically slide out and fall onto the conveyor, realizing the effect of automated feeding and conveying.

[0012] 2. The second electric push rod of this utility model, which supports the inner wall of the concave plate, drives the flexible clamping plate to clamp the container, ensuring the stability of the container during movement. The guide bucket of the guide and diversion component adopts a funnel structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The top arc baffle can prevent the chrysanthemum from splashing outward when the container is poured. The guide frame is precisely connected to the feed end of the conveyor body. After being buffered by the guide bucket and guided by the guide frame, the chrysanthemum falls onto the conveyor at a low speed, avoiding the tearing of petals caused by free fall impact.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 An automatic chrysanthemum feeding and conveying device includes a base plate 1, on the top of which a conveyor body 100 is installed. The conveyor body 100 receives chrysanthemums introduced by the guiding and diverting component 4 and continuously conveys the chrysanthemums to downstream washing and drying equipment at a set speed. It is the core transmission channel after the chrysanthemums are fed. The surface of the conveyor belt is flat and has a certain friction to prevent the chrysanthemums from slipping during the conveying process.

[0017] A drive feeding assembly 2 is provided on the left side of the base plate 1. The drive feeding assembly 2 includes a base 21, which is located on the left side of the base plate 1. The right side of the base 21 is in contact with the left side of the base plate 1. A locking block 5 is installed on the right side of the base 21. A locking groove 6 is provided on the left side of the base plate 1, corresponding to the position of the locking block 5. The right side of the locking block 5 passes through the locking groove 6 and extends into it, contacting the inner wall of the locking groove 6. A fastening bolt 7 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, which is threadedly connected to the locking block 5. The connection method of the locking block 5, the locking groove 6, and the fastening bolt 7 allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the base 21 and the base plate 1. By loosening the fastening bolt 7 and pulling the base 21 to the left, the locking block 5 and the locking groove 6 are separated, thus separating the base 21 from the base plate 1. A vertical... Plate 22 serves as the mounting carrier for the first electric push rod 23 and also provides a reference surface for the translation of the movable plate 24. The vertical plate 22 is fixedly connected to the base 21 by welding. A controller is installed on the top left side of the vertical plate 22. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, the first electric push rod 23, the servo motor 26, the rotary motor 32, and the second electric push rod 34 on the conveyor body 100. It is powered by an external power source. The first electric push rod 23 is installed on the left side of the vertical plate 22. The first electric push rod 23 drives the movable plate 24 to move horizontally along the slide groove 8 of the base 21, causing the limit clamping assembly 3 and the loading container to move closer to or away from the guide hopper 44. The translation stroke is precise and controllable. The movement endpoint can be set according to the position of the guide hopper 44 to ensure that the chrysanthemum can fall completely when the container is overturned. The material enters the guide hopper 44 without spillage. The right end of the output shaft of the first electric push rod 23 passes through the vertical plate 22 and extends to the outside where a movable plate 24 is installed. The bottom of the movable plate 24 slides in contact with the top of the base 21. The movable plate 24 carries the servo motor 26, the threaded rod 27, and other lifting components. At the same time, it slides along the slide groove 8 of the base 21 via the slider 9 to achieve horizontal movement. The first electric push rod 23 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 24 by bolts. A fixing groove 25 is opened on the right side of the movable plate 24. The servo motor 26 is installed on the top of the movable plate 24. The servo motor 26 is a forward and reverse motor with a self-locking function, which drives the threaded rod 27 to rotate. Through thread transmission, it drives the threaded block 28 and the limit clamping assembly 3 to lift and lower, realizing the lifting of the loading container from the ground to the pouring height. The automated lifting system offers high precision and accurate control over the container's pouring height. The lifting speed can be set via a controller to prevent excessive spillage due to rapid container movement. The bottom end of the servo motor 26's output shaft passes through the fixed groove 25 and extends into it, where a threaded rod 27 is installed. The threaded rod 27 converts the rotational motion of the servo motor 26 into the linear lifting motion of the threaded block 28, serving as the core component of the lifting transmission. The threaded rod 27 has a threaded connection to the threaded block 28, employing a trapezoidal thread with a pitch of 4-6mm. This design offers high transmission efficiency and good self-locking properties, preventing the threaded block 28 from sliding down due to gravity after power failure, ensuring the container remains stable at any height without falling. The surface of the threaded block 28 slides in contact with the inner wall of the fixed groove 25, providing a guiding effect.The top of the base 21 has a groove 8, and a slider 9 is installed on the bottom of the movable plate 24 at a position corresponding to the groove 8, sliding in contact with the inner wall of the groove 8. The groove 8 and the slider 9 slide in cooperation, providing guidance for the horizontal movement of the movable plate 24. The clearance between the slider 9 and the groove 8 is small, so the movable plate 24 moves without wobbling.

[0018] A limit clamping assembly 3 is provided on the drive feeding assembly 2. The limit clamping assembly 3 includes an adjusting plate 31, which is installed on the right side of the threaded block 28. The threaded block 28 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 31 by welding. Both the threaded block 28 and the adjusting plate 31 are made of aluminum alloy. The left side of the adjusting plate 31 slides in contact with the right side of the movable plate 24, which guides the up and down movement of the adjusting plate 31. The adjusting plate 31 transmits the lifting and lowering movement of the threaded block 28 to other components of the limit clamping assembly 3. A rotary motor 32 is installed on the right side of the adjusting plate 31, which drives the bearing concave plate 33 and the loading assembly. The container rotates around the output shaft, with an adjustable tilt angle of 0-120°, enabling automated chrysanthemum unloading. The tilt angle is precisely controllable and can be set according to container specifications to reduce residue. It features gentle start and stop to prevent excessively rapid tilting from impacting the chrysanthemum with the guide hopper 44, minimizing petal damage. A built-in photoelectric encoder provides real-time feedback on the tilt angle, ensuring accurate positioning. A bearing concave plate 33 is mounted on the right end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 32. The bottom of the bearing concave plate 33 contacts the top of the base 21. The bearing concave plate 33 holds the loading container, such as a chrysanthemum basket, and also provides installation space for the second electric push rod 34. The concave structure allows it to fit square boxes of different sizes. The supporting concave plate 33 is made of 304 stainless steel. Second electric push rods 34 are installed in the grooves on both sides of the inner wall of the supporting concave plate 33. The second electric push rods 34 drive the flexible clamping plate 35 to slide along the bottom of the supporting concave plate 33, thus clamping or releasing the filling container. The clamping force is adjustable and can be set according to the container material, such as plastic crates or woven bags, to avoid excessive clamping force damaging the container or insufficient clamping force causing the container to fall off when tipped over. The flexible clamping plate 35 is installed on the output end of the second electric push rod 34. The bottom of the flexible clamping plate 35 is flush with the inner wall of the supporting concave plate 33. The bottom of the wall slides into contact, and the flexible clamp 35 clamps the filling container under the drive of the second electric push rod 34, while avoiding scratches on the outer wall of the container and preventing the container from sliding when it is overturned. The material is soft and there is no hard friction when it comes into contact with the container, which can protect easily scratched containers such as plastic baskets and woven bags. The flexible clamp 35 is made of food-grade silicone. The drive feeding component 2 and the limit clamping component 3 are not located on the same plane as the conveyor body 100, so that the drive feeding component 2 and the limit clamping component 3 are located on the rear side of the conveyor body 100, so that when the chrysanthemum in the container is poured out, it can fall into the guide hopper 44.

[0019] A guide and diversion component 4 is provided on the drive feeding component 2. The guide and diversion component 4 includes a mounting block 41, which is installed on the back of the base 21. A fixing block 42 is installed on the right side of the mounting block 41. The mounting block 41 is welded to the back of the base 21, and the fixing block 42 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 41 by welding. The mounting block 41 and the fixing block 42 together fix the guide component above the feed end of the conveyor body 100. A guide frame 43 is installed on the front of the fixing block 42 and at the position corresponding to the conveyor body 100. It connects the guide bucket 44 to the conveyor body 100 and smoothly guides the chrysanthemums in the guide bucket 44 to the conveyor belt of the conveyor. It has a rectangular tubular structure with a length adapted to the width of the conveyor, which can ensure that the chrysanthemums are evenly distributed along the width of the conveyor belt and avoid local accumulation. The bottom of the guide frame 43 is only 5-10mm away from the conveyor belt. After the chrysanthemums slide out of the guide frame 43, they fall directly onto the conveyor belt without free fall impact. To reduce petal tearing, a guide hopper 44 is installed on the top of the guide frame 43 and is connected to it. The guide hopper 44 receives the chrysanthemums poured out by the container tipping over. Its funnel structure, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, guides the chrysanthemums into the guide frame 43, preventing splashing. The large upper diameter covers the container's pouring area, ensuring the chrysanthemums fall into the hopper even if the container slightly tilts. The lower opening connects to the guide frame 43, concentrating the chrysanthemum flow and preventing uneven dispersion on the conveyor. The top of the guide hopper 44... The container is equipped with an arc-shaped baffle 45. The guide frame 43, guide bucket 44 and arc-shaped baffle 45 are all made of 304 stainless steel plate. The guide frame 43, guide bucket 44 and arc-shaped baffle 45 are fixedly connected by welding. The arc-shaped baffle 45 surrounds the upper edge of the guide bucket 44 to block the chrysanthemum splashes outward when the container is turned over, and at the same time guides the chrysanthemum to slide into the guide bucket 44. The arc-shaped baffle 45 is at a moderate height, which can block splashing without affecting the turning action of the container.

[0020] When in use, place the container filled with chrysanthemums steadily into the bearing concave plate 33, ensuring that the bottom of the container is in contact with the inner wall of the bearing concave plate 33. Start the second electric push rod 34 through the controller to drive the flexible clamping plate 35 to move towards the container until the clamping plate is in close contact with the outer wall of the container. At this time, the container is stably clamped without swaying left or right. Based on the height of the guide bucket 44, set the lifting endpoint of the servo motor 26. For example, when the height of the top opening of the guide bucket 44 is 60cm, set the lifting height of the threaded block 28 to 100cm to ensure that the chrysanthemum can fall completely into the guide bucket 44 when the container is flipped. Based on the initial distance between the center position of the bearing concave plate 33 and the center position of the guide bucket 44, which is usually 30-50cm, set the translation stroke of the first electric push rod 23. For example, when the initial distance is 40cm, set the translation stroke to 40cm to ensure that the container is positioned directly above the guide bucket 44 after translation. Based on the container type, set the rotation angle of the rotary motor 32 to 60° or 90°. Servo motor 26 starts, and the output shaft drives threaded rod 27 to rotate clockwise. Threaded block 28 slides upward along the inner wall of fixed groove 25, simultaneously driving adjusting plate 31, rotary motor 32, bearing concave plate 33, and container to rise synchronously. When the container rises to the set height, servo motor 26 automatically stops, and first electric push rod 23 starts. The output shaft pushes movable plate 24 to move to the right along slide groove 8 of base 21. Sliding block 9 slides in slide groove 8, driving bearing concave plate 33 and container closer to guide bucket 44. When the container reaches directly above guide bucket 44, first electric push rod 23 stops. The container is precisely aligned with the guide bucket 44. The rotary motor 32 starts, and the output shaft drives the bearing concave plate 33 and the container to slowly rotate forward at a speed of 0.1-0.2° / s. When it rotates to a set angle, such as 60°, the chrysanthemums in the container slide out of the guide bucket 44 under the action of gravity. At this time, the arc-shaped baffle 45 prevents the chrysanthemums from splashing outward. The chrysanthemums fall into the guide frame 43 along the guide bucket 44. After being guided by the guide frame 43, the chrysanthemums slide onto the conveyor belt of the conveyor body 100 at a low speed of 0.2-0.3m / s. The conveyor belt transports the chrysanthemums to the downstream equipment. After the material is poured, the rotary motor 32 starts in reverse, driving the bearing concave plate 33 to return to the horizontal state. The first electric push rod 23 moves in reverse, pushing the movable plate 24 to move to the left along the slide 8 to the initial position. The servo motor 26 rotates in reverse, driving the threaded block 28 and the container to the ground height. The second electric push rod 34 extends and retracts in reverse, and the flexible clamp 35 releases the container. The worker takes out the empty container and replaces it with a new filling container. The equipment enters the next feeding cycle.
