Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Sichuan pepper oil processing technology, specifically a Sichuan pepper residue lifting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of Sichuan pepper oil, screw pressing is one of the key steps in separating the oil from the peppercorns. While screw pressing crushes and squeezes the peppercorns, separating some oil, a considerable proportion remains inside the peppercorn residue. To improve the oil extraction rate, this residual oil needs to be further recovered through subsequent secondary pressing or separation operations. Therefore, the efficient and clean transportation of the peppercorn residue becomes a crucial link connecting the initial pressing with subsequent deep processing steps.

[0003] Currently, the lifting devices used for conveying pepper filter residue mainly include three types: screw conveyors, inclined conveyor belts, and bucket elevators. Considering that the conveying of pepper filter residue needs to meet the requirements of continuous operation and to avoid the filter residue falling to the ground during the conveying process, causing waste and pollution, and that bucket elevators are prone to filter residue spillage due to their structural characteristics, in actual production, only screw conveyors and inclined conveyor belts can be selected as the lifting and conveying equipment for pepper filter residue.

[0004] However, after pressing, the pepper residue retains a certain amount of oil and moisture, making it highly sticky. When using a screw conveyor, the sticky residue easily adheres to the screw blades and the inner wall of the conveyor pipe; when using an inclined conveyor belt, a large amount of residue sticks to the surface of the conveyor belt. This adhered residue not only hinders the normal falling of subsequent residue, leading to a decrease in conveying efficiency, but also gradually accumulates inside the equipment. Due to the continuous nature of the production process, the accumulated residue is difficult to clean in a timely manner and is prone to rotting and deterioration under suitable temperature and humidity conditions. The deteriorated residue will come into direct contact with the fresh pepper residue being conveyed later, causing contamination of the fresh residue and affecting the oil quality in subsequent secondary pressing or separation processes. In severe cases, it can even lead to off-flavors and reduced purity in the final pepper oil, adversely affecting the product quality and economic benefits of pepper oil producers. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a pepper filter residue lifting and conveying device. This lifting and conveying device uses a lifting conveyor belt to continuously lift and convey the pepper filter residue. At the same time, a scraping mechanism set on the outermost side of the highest point can be used to scrape off the pepper filter residue when it is conveyed to the discharge end, avoiding it from adhering to the conveyor belt surface and accumulating. This allows the pepper filter residue to fall into the subsequent pressing or separating equipment for secondary processing. After scraping off the pepper filter residue, the belt surface can be simply rinsed through the drainage trough plate and spray pipe at the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt surface and thus ensuring the quality of the filter residue.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a pepper filter residue lifting and conveying device includes a lifting conveyor belt, which is set on a frame. Drainage troughs are installed at the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt; The scraping mechanism is located on the outer side of the highest end of the lifting conveyor belt; The spray pipe is installed at the bottom of the highest point of the lifting conveyor belt and fixed inside the drainage trough plate.

[0007] Preferably, lifting plates are evenly distributed on the surface of the lifting conveyor belt.

[0008] Preferably, a drain pipe is also provided at the lowest end of the drainage trough plate.

[0009] Preferably, the scraping mechanism specifically includes a support plate, which is disposed on the outer end of the frame at the highest point of the lifting conveyor belt; Rotate the drum, which is mounted on the support plate and keeps its outer end in contact with the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt; The scraper is positioned on the end of the support plate away from the lifting conveyor belt and remains in contact with the outer end of the rotating drum.

[0010] Preferably, several soft brushes are evenly distributed on the outer end of the rotating drum, and the soft brushes are in contact with the lifting conveyor belt and the scraper. The rotating shaft of the rotating drum extends to the outer end of the support plate and is connected to the drive shaft of the lifting conveyor belt through gears.

[0011] Preferably, the water outlet of the spray pipe points to the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt, and the spray pipe maintains a gap with the inner bottom and side wall of the drainage trough plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. Effectively solves the problem of filter residue adhesion and accumulation, ensuring continuous and efficient conveying. This device utilizes a scraping mechanism installed on the outermost side of the conveyor belt. When the pepper filter residue is conveyed to the discharge end, the scraping mechanism directly scrapes the belt surface, completely removing the filter residue that would otherwise easily adhere to it. Compared to existing screw conveyors and inclined conveyors, which suffer from conveying obstructions and reduced efficiency due to filter residue adhesion, this device prevents filter residue from accumulating on the belt surface, ensuring that the filter residue falls smoothly to subsequent pressing or separating equipment. This guarantees the continuity of filter residue conveying, significantly improves the overall production process efficiency, and reduces time and cost losses caused by equipment cleaning and downtime due to malfunctions.

[0013] 2. Enables real-time cleaning of the filter surface to prevent cross-contamination of filter residue. After scraping off the filter residue, the device uses a drainage trough and spray pipes at the bottom of the conveyor belt to immediately rinse the belt surface. The spray pipes specifically wash away residual grease and fine filter residue particles, while the drainage trough quickly collects and discharges the rinsing wastewater, preventing wastewater from flowing back and contaminating the belt surface or filter residue. This effectively solves the problem of accumulated and rotten filter residue contaminating fresh filter residue in existing equipment. By keeping the belt surface continuously clean, the path of cross-contamination of filter residue is cut off at the source, ensuring that the fresh pepper filter residue being transported subsequently is always clean, providing a basic guarantee for the quality of the oil in secondary processing.

[0014] 3. Simple and practical structure, reducing production and maintenance costs. The core improvement of this device is achieved through a combination of a scraping mechanism, spray pipes, and drainage troughs. The overall structure is simple, requiring no complex modifications to the conveyor belt, facilitating manufacturing and upgrading existing equipment, and reducing equipment investment costs for enterprises. Simultaneously, the scraping action of the scraping mechanism reduces the formation of stubborn stains on the belt surface, while spray cleaning further reduces the frequency and difficulty of manual equipment cleaning, lowering maintenance costs. Moreover, the cleaning process does not require machine downtime and can be carried out simultaneously with conveying operations, avoiding production interruptions due to maintenance and indirectly improving the enterprise's economic benefits.

[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. The accompanying drawings in this utility model are only for illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding of the embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way.

[0017] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0018] As described in the background section, when using an inclined conveyor belt or a spiral elevator to lift and transport pepper filter residue, the pepper filter residue still contains residual oil and moisture, which easily adheres to the surface, affecting the drop of the pepper filter residue. Furthermore, the pepper filter residue that remains adhered to the surface and accumulates will rot and deteriorate due to environmental factors, which will in turn affect the quality of subsequent pepper filter residue.

[0019] For the reasons stated above, please refer to the appendix for solutions to these problems. Figure 1 ~Appendix Figure 6 This utility model provides a pepper filter residue lifting and conveying device, including a lifting conveyor belt 2, which is set on the frame 1; Drainage trough plate 4 is installed at the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt 2; The scraping mechanism is located on the outer side of the highest end of the lifting conveyor belt 2; The spray pipe 6 is located at the bottom of the highest point of the lifting conveyor belt 2 and fixed inside the drainage trough plate 4.

[0020] To facilitate the lifting and conveying of the pepper residue, please refer to the attached document carefully. Figure 1 and attached Figure 4In this embodiment, lifting plates 3 are evenly arranged on the surface of the lifting conveyor belt 2. The lifting plates can prevent the pepper filter residue from flowing downward or rolling during the lifting and conveying process.

[0021] To facilitate the rapid discharge of wastewater, filter residue, debris, and grease from the conveyor belt cleaning process, please carefully refer to the appendix. Figure 2 In this embodiment, a drain pipe 5 is also provided at the lowest end of the drainage trough plate 4.

[0022] To facilitate scraping away the peppercorn residue adhering to the conveyor belt surface and prevent it from sticking to the belt and failing to fall off, please carefully refer to the attached document. Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 In this embodiment, the scraping mechanism specifically includes a support plate 7, which is disposed on the outer end of the frame at the highest point of the lifting conveyor belt 2; Rotate the roller 8, which is rotatably mounted on the support plate 7 and keeps its outer end in contact with the discharge end of the lifting conveyor belt 2; The scraper 10 is located on the end of the support plate 7 away from the lifting conveyor belt 2 and is kept in contact with the outer end of the rotating drum 8.

[0023] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 4 ~Appendix Figure 6 In this embodiment, several soft brushes are evenly distributed on the outer end of the rotating drum 8. The soft brushes are all in contact with the lifting conveyor belt 2 and the scraper 10. The rotating shaft of the rotating drum 8 extends to the outer end of the support plate 7 and is connected to the drive shaft of the lifting conveyor belt 2 through the gear 9.

[0024] As mentioned above, the soft brush at the outer end of the rotating drum is to prevent the rotating drum from colliding with the lifting plate on the conveyor belt during rotation, and also to facilitate the scraping of pepper residue on the belt surface. The scraper is set to facilitate impact on the soft brush and prevent pepper residue from getting stuck in the soft brush. The driving method of the rotating drum is to facilitate the automatic rotation of the rotating drum by the lifting conveyor belt during operation, thereby facilitating the scraping of pepper residue on the conveyor belt surface.

[0025] In this embodiment, the water outlet of the spray pipe 6 points to the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt 2, and the spray pipe 6 maintains a gap with the inner bottom and side wall of the drainage trough plate 4.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of the spray pipe is connected to an external water source and water pump, and the outlet end of the spray pipe can point to the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt and be close to the rotating drum. This method facilitates that while spraying and rinsing the bottom of the lifting conveyor belt, a portion of the water flow can be reflected onto the rotating drum and rinse the soft brush, thereby improving the cleaning quality. After rinsing, the wastewater mixed with some filter residue and debris falls into the drainage trough plate and is finally discharged from the drainage pipe.

[0027] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
