Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of belt conveyors, and in particular to a belt conveyor for producing raw materials for chili powder. Background Technology
[0002] Chili powder, a condiment widely used in food processing and catering, typically involves multiple processes in its production, including raw material selection, cleaning, drying, crushing, and sieving. The transportation of chili raw materials is a crucial step in the chili powder production process. From raw material storage to transfer between various processing equipment, efficient and stable conveying equipment is essential to ensure production continuity. Belt conveyors, with their advantages of large conveying capacity, stable operation, and low energy consumption, have become commonly used equipment for transporting chili raw materials in chili powder production. They enable long-distance, continuous transportation of chili raw materials, meeting the needs of large-scale production.
[0003] In the chili powder production process, the uniformity of the feed when conveying raw chili peppers to crushing and screening equipment via belt conveyors directly affects the quality and efficiency of subsequent processing. If the raw chili peppers accumulate, clump, or the feed amount fluctuates during transport, it will lead to uneven load on the crushing equipment. This can not only affect the particle uniformity of the chili powder but also interrupt the production process due to raw material blockage. However, traditional belt conveyors have significant limitations in conveying raw chili peppers: when a large amount of raw chili peppers is poured onto the conveyor belt at once, the poured material accumulates, making it difficult to form a uniform material flow distribution. This fails to meet the stringent requirements for uniform feed in chili powder production and directly affects the smooth operation of subsequent processing stages, thus restricting overall production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a belt conveyor for chili powder production raw materials, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A belt conveyor for chili powder production includes a conveyor main frame. A material collection hopper is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the conveyor main frame. A combing assembly is fixedly installed on the inner rear side of the material collection hopper. The combing assembly consists of a support base plate and combing rods. Several combing rods are horizontally and evenly fixedly installed at the rear end of the support base plate. A material pushing assembly is installed on the material collection hopper and behind the combing assembly. The material pushing assembly consists of a servo motor, a rotating roller, a rigid base plate, a soft rubber plate, and a pushing soft bristles. The rotating roller is fixedly installed on one end of the output shaft of the servo motor. The rigid base plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller. The soft rubber plate is fixedly installed on one end of the rigid base plate. The pushing soft bristles are fixedly installed on one end of the soft rubber plate.
[0006] Preferably, a conveyor belt is rotatably installed inside the main frame of the conveyor, a drive assembly is fixedly installed on the main frame of the conveyor, and a bracket is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main frame of the conveyor.
[0007] Preferably, the hopper is located above the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, two mounting plates are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front end of the support base plate on the combing assembly, and the mounting plates are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the material hopper.
[0009] Preferably, the servo motor on the feeding assembly is fixedly installed at the outer end of the feeding hopper, the rotating roller is rotatably installed inside the feeding hopper, and a plurality of hard substrates and soft rubber plates are provided, with the plurality of hard substrates arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the rotating roller. The soft rubber plate is fixedly connected to the hard substrates by bolts, and the agitating bristles are fixedly installed at the end of the soft rubber plate away from the rotating roller. Driven by the servo motor, the rotating roller can drive the agitating bristles through the hard substrates and soft rubber plates to pass from bottom to top between two adjacent combing rods.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By installing a feeding assembly consisting of a servo motor, a rotating roller, a rigid base plate, a soft rubber plate, and agitating bristles on the feeding hopper, the rotating roller, driven by the servo motor, can rotate the agitating bristles via the rigid base plate and soft rubber plate, thereby pushing the accumulated chili peppers forward, i.e., into the feeding hopper. This spreads the chili peppers out, effectively preventing localized accumulation on the conveyor belt, ensuring uniformity in the feeding process, and thus ensuring stable load on subsequent crushing equipment. It also improves the uniformity of chili powder particles and reduces the risk of equipment blockage, meeting the high-efficiency and stable requirements of large-scale chili powder production for the conveying process, and improving overall production efficiency and product quality. Furthermore, by installing a combing assembly consisting of a support base plate and combing rods inside the feeding hopper, next to the feeding assembly, the combing assembly can comb the agitating bristles, preventing chili peppers from getting stuck inside and ensuring long-term stable operation of the feeding assembly. The soft rubber plate and agitating bristles are made of a relatively soft material, which can prevent damage to the chili peppers when they are spread out. Attached Figure Description

[0013] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0014] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, a belt conveyor for chili powder production includes a conveyor main frame 1. A material collection hopper 2 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the conveyor main frame 1. A combing assembly 3 is fixedly installed on the inner rear side of the material collection hopper 2. The combing assembly 3 consists of a support base plate 7 and combing rods 9. Several combing rods 9 are horizontally and evenly fixedly installed at the rear end of the support base plate 7. A material pushing assembly 4 is installed on the material collection hopper 2 and behind the combing assembly 3. The material pushing assembly 4 consists of a servo motor 10, a rotating roller 11, a hard base plate 12, a soft rubber plate 13, and a pushing soft bristles 14. The rotating roller 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the output shaft of the servo motor 10. The hard base plate 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller 11. The soft rubber plate 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the hard base plate 12. The pushing soft bristles 14 are fixedly installed at one end of the soft rubber plate 13. By setting the material collection hopper 2 with the servo motor 10, rotating roller 11, hard base plate 12, soft rubber plate 13, and pushing soft bristles, the material can be produced. The feeding assembly 4, composed of 14 components, is driven by a servo motor 10. The rotating roller 11 can rotate through the hard base plate 12 and the soft rubber plate 13 to drive the soft bristles 14 to rotate, thereby pushing the chili peppers piled up above forward, that is, into the gathering hopper 2, so that the chili peppers are spread out, effectively avoiding local accumulation of chili peppers on the conveyor belt 5, ensuring the uniformity of the feeding process, and thus ensuring the stable load of the subsequent crushing equipment, improving the uniformity of chili powder particles and reducing the risk of equipment blockage. This meets the high efficiency and stability requirements of the conveying process for large-scale chili powder production, and improves the overall production efficiency and product quality. By setting a combing assembly 3, composed of a support base plate 7 and a combing rod 9, in the gathering hopper 2 and next to the feeding assembly 4, the combing assembly 3 can comb the soft bristles 14, thereby preventing chili peppers from getting stuck in the soft bristles 14, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the feeding assembly 4. The soft rubber plate 13 and the soft bristles 14 are made of soft materials, which can prevent the chili peppers from being damaged when they are spread out.
[0015] Specifically, a conveyor belt 5 is rotatably installed inside the main frame 1 of the conveyor, and a drive assembly is fixedly installed on the main frame 1 of the conveyor. A bracket 6 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main frame 1 of the conveyor. The hopper 2 is located above the conveyor belt 5. During the production of chili powder, when the belt conveyor is used to transport chili peppers, the rear of the belt conveyor is aligned with the feed inlet of the chili processing equipment, and the chili peppers are poured in batches into the hopper 2 in front of the combing assembly 3. At the same time, the drive assembly on the main frame 1 of the conveyor is started to drive the conveyor belt 5 to rotate, so that the chili peppers in the hopper 2 are transported towards the feed inlet of the chili processing equipment along with the conveyor belt 5.
[0016] Specifically, two mounting plates 8 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front end of the support base plate 7 on the combing component 3. The mounting plates 8 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the hopper 2. The servo motor 10 on the feeding component 4 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the hopper 2. The rotating roller 11 is rotatably installed inside the hopper 2. Several hard base plates 12 and soft rubber plates 13 are provided, and several hard base plates 12 are arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the rotating roller 11. The soft rubber plate 13 is fixedly connected to the hard base plates 12 by bolts. The agitating soft bristles 14 are fixedly installed on the end of the soft rubber plate 13 away from the rotating roller 11. Driven by the servo motor 10, the rotating roller 11 can drive the agitating soft bristles 14 to pass from bottom to top between two adjacent combing rods 9 through the hard base plates 12 and soft rubber plates 13. When the belt conveyor transports chili peppers, the servo motor 10 of the feeding component 4 is started. The servo motor 10 drives the rotating roller 11 to rotate, and the rotating roller 11 drives the outer... Several rigid substrates 12 arranged in a ring on the wall rotate, driving the soft rubber plates 13, which are fixed by bolts, to rotate synchronously. The soft rubber plates 13 drive the soft bristles 14 on them to rotate, and the rotating soft bristles 14 push the chili peppers piled on top and that can be contacted by the soft bristles 14 forward, that is, push them into the material hopper 2, so that they are evenly spread on the conveyor belt 5. At the same time, under the continuous drive of the servo motor 10, the rotating roller 11 drives the soft bristles 14 through the rigid substrates 12 and the soft rubber plates 13 to pass through the soft bristles 14 from bottom to top between two adjacent combing rods 9 on the combing assembly 3. At this time, several combing rods 9 that are horizontally and evenly fixed at the rear end of the support substrate 7 comb the soft bristles 14 that pass through them, preventing the chili peppers from getting stuck in the soft bristles 14, ensuring that the material pushing assembly 4 plays a stable and continuous material pushing role, and finally making the chili peppers evenly and stably conveyed to the feed port of the chili pepper processing equipment by the conveyor belt 5.
[0017] It should be noted that the density of the combing rods 9 needs to be set reasonably to ensure that the combing of the several soft bristles 14 is sufficient, effectively removing chili fragments and small chilies stuck between the soft bristles 14, while also preventing the soft bristles 14 from being unable to pass through smoothly due to excessively narrow spacing, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the feeding assembly 4. At the same time, the closest distance between the soft bristles 14 and the conveyor belt 5 should be slightly larger than the diameter of a normal chili pepper. This distance setting allows the soft bristles 14 to fully contact and agitate the chili raw material piled on top, avoiding the inability to effectively spread the material due to excessive distance, while also preventing the chilies pressed against the conveyor belt 5 from being unable to pass under the feeding assembly 4 due to excessively close distance. The soft rubber plate 13 itself has good flexibility and cushioning performance, which, combined with the soft texture and gentle touch of the soft bristles 14, effectively cushions the contact between the material and the chilies during the process of spreading the chilies evenly. The contact force prevents damage to the chili pepper skin and deformation of the flesh due to hard contact, thus preserving the integrity of the raw chili pepper to the greatest extent. This ensures the quality and purity of the chili powder in subsequent processing and reduces raw material loss. The servo motor 10 has a precise speed adjustment function, and its output speed can be set through an external control system to control the rotation speed of the rotating roller 11, making it compatible with the running speed of the conveyor belt 5. According to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 5 and the amount of raw chili peppers fed, the speed of the rotating roller 11 is set within a reasonable range to ensure that the frequency of the agitation of the chili peppers by the agitator 14 is synchronized with the conveying rhythm of the conveyor belt 5. This not only ensures that the piled-up chili peppers are evenly spread out, avoiding local accumulation, but also prevents the agitator 14 from generating excessive instantaneous thrust on the chili peppers due to speed matching, preventing the chili peppers from being thrown to the outside of the conveyor belt 5 and wasting raw materials, while ensuring the stability of the chili peppers during the conveying process.
