Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a taro ball processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The taro ball processing device automatically extrudes strip-shaped taro balls through mechanized production, then cuts them into granules, ultimately obtaining granular taro balls.

[0003] However, in existing taro ball machines, the extrusion mechanism is often closely integrated with the dicing mechanism, meaning that the taro balls are diced immediately after being extruded into strips. Furthermore, the extrusion end of the extrusion mechanism is often horizontally oriented, and the taro balls extruded through this mechanism are too viscous and soft. After horizontal extrusion, they are easily affected by gravity and collapse downwards, making it difficult to maintain their shape. Moreover, cutting these taro ball strips in this state can easily cause them to stick together, altering their shape and leading to uneven product specifications. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides a taro ball processing device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A taro ball processing device includes an extrusion mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a granulation mechanism, and a collection mechanism. The extrusion mechanism has an inclined downward extrusion tube, the outlet of which corresponds to the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism to output the extruded strip-shaped taro balls to the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism is composed of multiple conveyor strips arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The granulation mechanism is located at the rear end of the conveying mechanism to granulate the strip-shaped taro balls output by the conveying mechanism. The collection mechanism is located at the rear end of the granulation mechanism to collect the granulated taro balls.

[0006] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism has multiple extrusion tubes arranged in parallel, all of which are inclined downwards.

[0007] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes a tank, a first motor, and a spiral extrusion shaft. The tank is provided with a feeding hopper, the spiral extrusion shaft is rotatably mounted inside the tank, the first motor is mounted outside the tank and drives the spiral extrusion shaft, and the extrusion passage is provided at the end of the tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the tank is inclined and mounted on a frame, which also has a covering frame, the tank is located inside the covering frame, and the sides of the tank are blocked by the covering frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a second motor, a driving roller, a driven roller, and the transmission belt. The driving roller and the driven roller are spaced apart from each other, and the transmission belt is assembled between the driving roller and the driven roller. The second motor drives and connects to the driving roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the pelletizing mechanism includes a hopper, a fixed frame, a lifting driver, and a cutter. The hopper is located at the rear end of the conveying mechanism, the fixed frame is located above the hopper, and the lifting driver is fixed to the fixed frame and drives the cutter to move up and down towards the hopper. The output port of the hopper corresponds to the collecting mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the pelletizing mechanism also includes a movable frame and an elastic reset member. The drive shaft of the lifting driver is fixedly connected to the movable frame, and the elastic reset member abuts against the movable frame and applies an upward elastic force to the movable frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the collection mechanism includes a receiving box and at least two sets of vibrating screening units, which are arranged vertically. Each set of vibrating screening units includes a screening box and a vibrating motor. The screening box is removable and installed inside the receiving box. The receiving base plate of the screening box has screen holes, and the diameter of the screen holes in the upper screening box is larger than that in the lower screening box. The vibrating motor acts on the screening box.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the receiving box is connected to a support surface via shock-absorbing foot pads.

[0014] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: Designing the extrusion tube of the extrusion mechanism to be inclined downwards effectively improves the downward collapse of the extruded taro balls. Furthermore, when the extruded taro balls fall onto the conveyor belt composed of multiple parallel and spaced conveyor strips, the contact area between the taro balls and the conveyor belt is reduced, improving adhesion. The taro balls also have ample contact with air for rapid cooling, hardening the surface before being diced, further reducing adhesion to the cutter. This significantly reduces deformation and adhesion issues, improves processing efficiency, and results in more uniform taro ball sizes after dicing. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention and are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments, and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these drawings, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and the advantages of the present invention. Components in the drawings are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", and "rear" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0018] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a taro ball processing device, including an extrusion mechanism 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a granulating mechanism 300, and a collecting mechanism 400. The extrusion mechanism 100, conveying mechanism 200, granulating mechanism 300, and collecting mechanism 400 are all assembled on a frame 1, forming a whole. The extrusion mechanism 100 has an inclined downward extrusion tube 9, the outlet of which corresponds to the conveyor belt 13 of the conveying mechanism 200, to output the extruded strip-shaped taro balls to the conveyor belt 13 of the conveying mechanism 200. The conveyor belt 13 of the conveying mechanism 200 is composed of multiple conveying strips arranged side-by-side and spaced apart. Specifically, the conveying strips can be annular strips with a cross-section of circular, square, or elliptical shapes. The distance between two adjacent conveying strips is less than the diameter of the extruded strip-shaped taro balls, that is, less than the inner diameter of the extrusion tube 9. The dicing mechanism 300 is located at the rear end of the conveying mechanism 200 to dic the strip-shaped taro balls output by the conveying mechanism 200. The collecting mechanism 400 is located at the rear end of the dicing mechanism 300 to collect the diced taro balls.

[0020] During processing, the strip-shaped taro balls extruded by the extrusion mechanism 100, that is, the strip-shaped taro balls are extruded from the downwardly inclined extrusion tube 9, which can effectively improve the downward collapse of the extruded strip-shaped taro balls. After being extruded from the extrusion tube 9, the strip-shaped taro balls fall onto the conveyor belt 13 of the conveying mechanism 200. Since the conveyor belt 13 is composed of multiple conveyor strips arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the strip-shaped taro balls are supported and transported by two adjacent conveyor strips, which reduces the contact area between the strip-shaped taro balls and the conveyor belt 13 and improves the abnormal adhesion. The small contact area between the strip-shaped taro balls and the conveyor strips makes most of the area of ​​the strip-shaped taro balls exposed. During the transport process of the conveying mechanism 200, the strip-shaped taro balls can fully contact the air and be rapidly cooled, so that the surface of the taro balls hardens. After the strip-shaped taro balls are output from the rear end of the conveying mechanism 200, they are diced by the dicing mechanism 300. During this process, the strip-shaped taro balls are cooled sufficiently, which improves their adhesion to the cutter 18 of the dicing mechanism 300. This greatly reduces deformation and adhesion abnormalities, improves processing efficiency, and results in more uniform taro ball sizes after dicing. Finally, the diced taro balls fall into the collecting mechanism 400 for collection.

[0021] Specifically, the extrusion mechanism 100 has multiple extrusion tubes 9 arranged in parallel, such as five in this embodiment, all of which are inclined downwards; the five extrusion tubes 9 perform extrusion operations simultaneously, increasing processing efficiency. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of extrusion tubes 9 can be increased or decreased according to the width of the conveyor belt 13 of the conveying mechanism 200 or the extrusion capacity of the extrusion mechanism 100.

[0022] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism 100 includes a tank body 4, a first motor 5, and a spiral extrusion shaft 6. A feeding hopper 8 is provided on the tank body 4. The spiral extrusion shaft 6 is rotatably mounted inside the tank body 4. The first motor 5 is mounted outside the tank body 4 and drives the spiral extrusion shaft 6. The extrusion tube 9 is provided at the end of the tank body 4. During processing, the taro ball raw material is added from the feeding hopper 8. The first motor 5 drives the spiral extrusion shaft 6 to rotate. The spiral extrusion shaft 6 can stir the raw material and extrude it towards the end of the tank body 4, ultimately extruding strip-shaped taro balls from the extrusion tube 9. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0023] Furthermore, the can 4 is inclined, specifically with its end pointing downwards, making the entire extrusion mechanism 100 inclined. The can 4 is mounted on a frame 1, which also has a covering frame 3. The can 4 is located within the covering frame 3, with both sides of the can 4 blocked by the covering frame 3. The covering frame 3 is similar to a "U"-shaped frame, with the can 4 fixed in the central cavity of the covering frame 3. The side baffles of the covering frame 3 are used to block the sides of the can 4, achieving stable installation of the extrusion mechanism. Simultaneously, setting the can 4 inclined also facilitates the extrusion of raw materials towards the end direction.

[0024] The transmission mechanism 200 includes a second motor 11, a drive roller, a driven roller 12, and a transmission belt 13. The drive roller and driven roller 12 are spaced apart, and the transmission belt 13 is mounted between the drive roller and driven roller 12. The second motor 11 drives the drive roller to rotate, thereby causing the transmission belt 13 and driven roller 12 to rotate synchronously, realizing the transmission of the transmission belt 13. The structure is simple to implement. To prevent multiple transmission strips from misaligning and changing the spacing, in this embodiment, slots can be provided on the drive roller and driven roller 12 to insert the transmission strips into the corresponding slots; alternatively, multiple transmission strips can be connected by fixed ribs to form a fixed-spacing integral structure.

[0025] The pelletizing mechanism 300 includes a hopper 20, a fixing frame 14, a lifting driver 15, and a cutter 18. The hopper 20 is located at the rear end of the transmission mechanism 200, and a flat bottom plate 21 is formed in the hopper 20 near the rear end of the transmission mechanism 200. The fixing frame 14 is located above the hopper 20, specifically above the flat bottom plate 21. The lifting driver 15 can be a drive cylinder or other components. The lifting driver 15 is fixed to the fixing frame 14 and drives the cutter 18 to move up and down towards the hopper 20. The output port of the hopper 20 corresponds to the collection mechanism 400. When the strip-shaped taro balls are output from the transmission mechanism 200 to the hopper 20, the lifting driver 15 drives the cutter 18 to descend, thereby cutting the strip-shaped taro balls to obtain taro ball pellets. The taro ball pellets fall into the collection mechanism 400 through the hopper 20.

[0026] Furthermore, the pelletizing mechanism 300 also includes a movable frame 17 and an elastic reset member 19. The drive shaft 16 of the lifting driver 14 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 17. The elastic reset member 19 is a spring, which abuts against the movable frame 17 and applies an upward elastic force to it. When the lifting driver 14 drives the cutter 18 to descend, the elastic reset member 19 is compressed and stores energy. When the lifting driver 14 removes the external force or applies an upward pulling force to the cutter 18, the elastic force of the elastic reset member 19 also acts on the movable frame 17 and the cutter 18, thereby jointly driving the movable frame 17 and the cutter 18 to move upward and reset, making the reset more timely. Of course, in other embodiments, the reset of the cutter 18 can also be driven solely by the lifting driver 14.

[0027] The collection mechanism 400 includes a receiving box 26 and at least two sets of vibrating screening units. In this embodiment, there are two sets of vibrating screening units arranged vertically. Each set of vibrating screening units includes a screening bin 27 and a vibration motor 32. The screening bin 27 is removable and can be pulled out of the receiving box 26, similar to a drawer structure. A handle 29 is provided on the outside of the screening bin 27. Screen holes 30 are provided on the receiving base plate of the screening bin 27, and the diameter of the screen holes 30 of the upper screening bin 27 is larger than that of the lower screening bin 27. The vibration motor 32 acts on the screening bin 27. When the cut taro balls fall into the upper screening box 27, the vibrating motor 32 vibrates the screening box 27. Taro balls with a diameter smaller than the sieve holes 30 of the upper screening box 27 will fall through the sieve holes 30 and into the lower screening box 27. Similarly, the lower screening box 27 is also vibrated by the vibrating motor 32 to further screen out taro balls with too small a particle size. In this way, the taro balls can be screened according to their particle size to obtain products that meet the corresponding specifications. When there are too many taro balls in the screening box 27, the sieve box 27 can be pulled out by holding the handle 29 and pulling it outward to empty the product in the screening box 27.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the receiving box 26 is connected to a support surface, specifically the support surface of the frame 1, via shock-absorbing pads 24. This provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning when the taro balls fall into the collecting mechanism 400. It also raises the bottom height of the receiving box 26. A receiving tray can be inserted into the bottom of the receiving box 26 to receive small-diameter taro balls sieved out by the lower screening box 27.

[0029] Of course, in other embodiments, the collection mechanism 400 may simply be a conventional collection box without vibration and sieving.

[0030] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, and all such changes shall be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
