Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a horizontal double-station taro strip extruder, and belongs to the field of food processing equipment technology. Background Technology

[0002] Taro is a popular food, and in addition to everyday cooking, processing taro into packaged food is also a popular method.

[0003] Taro processing requires appropriate processing equipment. For example, patent CN218614327U discloses an electric pusher for taro processing, belonging to the field of taro slicing technology. The electric pusher for taro processing includes a base plate, a slicing seat fixed to the top of the base plate, multiple equally spaced cylindrical grooves inside the slicing seat, a slicing mesh plate fixed to the bottom of the cylindrical grooves, a support plate fixed to the top side of the base plate, an outer sleeve slidably fitted onto the side of the inner column, a transmission mechanism located outside the outer sleeve, a connecting plate fixed to the bottom of the outer sleeve directly above the slicing seat, and a pressure plate fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod that slides with the cylindrical grooves. This invention uses a pressure plate to compress taro in a cylindrical trough. After being compressed, the taro is quickly cut into strips by a cutting mesh. The cut taro strips fall out of the cylindrical trough, thus completing the simultaneous cutting of multiple taro into strips. The operation is convenient and the cutting efficiency is high. However, this solution lacks an effective feeding mechanism and requires the taro to be accurately placed into the cylindrical trough. In actual operation, due to the large number of cylindrical troughs, it is easy for the taro to be misplaced, resulting in poor cutting effect. Therefore, a horizontal double-station taro strip extruder is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0025] See Figures 1-7As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: It includes a pusher bracket 1 and a conveyor bracket 2. The conveyor bracket 2 passes through one end of the pusher bracket 1. A pusher mechanism 3 is provided inside the pusher bracket 1. A conveyor mechanism 4 is provided on the conveyor bracket 2. Several material racks 5 are equidistantly arranged on the conveyor mechanism 4. The pusher mechanism 3 includes two push rods 37, and a pusher plate 7 is provided at the end of each pusher rod. The pusher plate 7 is initially located above and outside the conveyor mechanism 4. Two detachable blades 6 are provided at the end of the pusher bracket 1 corresponding to the pusher plate 7. The structure 3 also includes two stabilizing guide rods 8 located above the pusher plate 7. A visual recognition mechanism 9 is located at the top front end of the pusher bracket 1, corresponding to the position of the pusher plate 7. A PLC control system is installed inside the pusher bracket 1 and electrically connected to the pusher mechanism 3, the conveying mechanism 4, and the visual recognition mechanism 9. In this embodiment, automatic feeding and pushing / cutting of taro is achieved by setting up a cross-arranged pusher mechanism and conveying mechanism. The pusher mechanism has two push rods, and two pusher plates are installed at the front ends of the push rods for pushing the taro. The pusher bracket is located at the corresponding workstation of the pusher plate. Two cutting blades are installed on the wall. When the conveying mechanism transports the taro to the cutting blade position, the vision recognition mechanism at the top of the pusher bracket detects that the taro has reached the cutting position and sends a stop signal to the PLC control system. The PLC control system then controls the conveying mechanism to stop transporting and controls the pusher mechanism to push the taro. The pusher rod drives the pusher plate to push the taro towards the cutting blade for cutting. When the pusher plate contacts the cutting blade, the vision recognition mechanism determines that the cutting is complete and triggers a pusher mechanism retraction signal. The PLC control system then controls the pusher mechanism to retract. After the pusher plate returns to its original position, the taro is successfully pushed back. Once the plate leaves the conveying mechanism, the vision recognition mechanism triggers the conveying signal again, and the PLC control system issues a new conveying command to continue feeding and cutting. The entire process is performed automatically after the PLC control system sets the corresponding process. The dual-station cutting is more efficient than the traditional single-station cutting. Combined with the vision recognition mechanism, it can perform more accurate operations. The material rack set on the conveying mechanism can limit the taro, and the central axis spacing of the material rack 5 corresponds to the center line spacing of the two push plates 7, which automatically positions and aligns the taro, reducing manual material feeding operations and effectively improving production and processing efficiency.

[0026] In this embodiment, both the blade and the pusher plate are detachable structures and can be replaced according to actual production and processing needs.

[0027] More specifically, the pushing mechanism 3 also includes a pushing motor 31. The output end of the pushing motor 31 is connected to a speed-changing gearbox 32. A rotating shaft extends from the gearbox 32 to the outside of the gearbox 32. Both ends of the rotating shaft are connected to swing arms 33. The ends of the swing arms 33 are rotatably connected to a linkage rod 34. In this embodiment, the taro is pushed and cut by setting a linked pushing mechanism. The pushing motor starts after receiving a pushing or retraction signal from the PLC control system, driving the swing arms to rotate, thereby driving the linkage rod to move. The end of the linkage rod 34 is movably connected to a first pushing plate 35, and the first pushing plate 35 is sleeved with a stabilizing guide rod 8. The first pushing plate 35 is a movable plate, and its two ends do not contact the inner wall of the pushing bracket 1. A support plate 36 is provided in front of the first pushing plate 35. The support plate 36 is slidably connected to the stabilizing guide rod 8 and the push rod 37. A second push plate 38 connected to the push rod 37 is provided on the support plate 36. The second push plate 38 is detachably connected to the push plate 7 and is also slidably connected to the stabilizing guide rod 8. Since the front end of the linkage rod is movably connected to the first push plate, it is pushed or pulled forward or backward by the swing arm. At the same time, the push rod 37 is moved by the first push plate, and the second push plate is moved synchronously. The second push plate is used to increase the installation firmness of the push plate and to improve the stability of the push rod movement. Both the first and second push plates are slidably connected to the stabilizing guide rod, which further improves the movement stability. The support plate is set to support the stabilizing guide rod and the push rod. It is also slidably connected to prevent the rod from sagging and ensure the pushing accuracy.

[0028] More specifically, the pusher plate 7 is provided with a number of pusher columns 71 arranged in a matrix. The matrix arrangement of the pusher columns can increase the friction with the surface of the taro, improve the stability when pushing the material, and prevent the taro from slipping.

[0029] More specifically, the conveyor support 2 is provided with a conveyor support frame 21 and a conveyor belt support 22 inside. The conveyor belt support 22 is located at both ends of the conveyor support frame 21, and the conveyor support frame is used for the installation and fixation of the conveyor belt support.

[0030] More specifically, the conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying drive motor 41, a drive shaft 42, a driven shaft 43, and a transmission chain 44. The conveying drive motor 41 is mounted on the end side wall of the conveying bracket 2, and the output end of the conveying drive motor 41 is connected to the transmission shaft 42. The transmission shaft 42 is mounted on the end of the conveyor belt bracket 22 via bearings, and the driven shaft 43 is mounted on the front end of the conveyor belt bracket 22 via bearings. Both the transmission shaft 42 and the driven shaft 43 are equipped with gears. The transmission chain 44 is mounted on the gears of the transmission shaft 42 and the driven shaft 43. In this embodiment, a transmission chain structure different from that of traditional conveying mechanisms is adopted. A material rack mounting plate 441 for fixing the material rack 5 is provided on the top outer side of the transmission chain 44. The material racks are equidistantly mounted on the transmission chain, and the spacing of the material racks matches the spacing of the push plate and the blade mesh. Thus, when feeding taro, the material is conveyed at equal intervals, eliminating the need for manual feeding and effectively improving the feeding and cutting efficiency.

[0031] More specifically, the material rack 5 includes a mounting base plate 51 and limiting side plates 52. The limiting side plates 52 are inclinedly arranged on both sides of the mounting base plate 51, and the maximum distance between the two limiting side plates 52 is greater than the maximum width of the push plate 7. At the same time, the highest point of the limiting side plate 52 is not higher than half the height of the push plate 7. In this embodiment, the material rack adopts an inclined structure, and the taro will automatically be centered when it falls into it without manual intervention. Its height limitation can prevent interference with the push plate and ensure the pushing and cutting effect.

[0032] More specifically, a feeding trough 10 is provided below the blade mesh 6 and installed on the side wall of the conveyor support 1. The opening of the feeding trough is inclined downward, and the cut taro strips slide from it into the recycling device for unified collection.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Taro is conveyed to the conveying mechanism 4 through the feeding mechanism. The taro falls onto the material rack 5 and is limited by the limiting side plate 52, preventing it from moving freely. The conveying drive motor 41 starts and drives the transmission chain 44 to move the material rack 5. When the two material racks 5 containing taro move to the front of the two push plates 7, the vision recognition mechanism 9 recognizes that the designated position has been reached and triggers a stop conveying command to the PLC control system. At the same time, the PLC control system sends a start command to the push mechanism 3. The push motor 31 starts and drives the swing arm 33 to rotate. The swing arm 33 drives the end of the linkage rod 34 to move forward and upward, pushing the first push plate 35. The push rod 37 and the push plate 7 move forward synchronously, pushing the taro towards the blade mesh 6 for cutting. The cut taro strips fall into the feeding trough 10 and enter the collection device. When the vision recognition mechanism 9 detects that the push plate 7 is in contact with the blade mesh 6, it triggers a retraction signal. The PLC control system sends a retraction command to the push motor 31. The push motor 31 reverses and drives the push rod 37 to retract, thereby driving the push plate 7 to retract. When the push plate 7 is detected by the vision recognition mechanism 9 to have returned to its original position, it triggers a transmission start signal to the PLC control system. The transmission drive motor 41 starts again to transmit the taro, thus performing automatic cyclic feeding and cutting operations.

[0034] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
