Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing feeding technology, and in particular to a material lifting machine for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials that can be eaten or drunk by humans, as well as items that are traditionally both food and Chinese medicinal materials, encompassing various forms such as grains, fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs and dairy products, and processed products. Material hoists are used in food processing because they can efficiently achieve vertical or steep-angle material transfer between different processes, replacing manual handling to reduce labor intensity. Furthermore, their design, which meets food hygiene standards, reduces material contamination and loss. They can also adjust the conveying volume to match the production rhythm, ensuring the continuity and standardization of the processing.

[0003] Currently, most food processing typically uses belt conveyors. Food is fed into hoppers and then falls onto the belt conveyor, which moves the food using the characteristics of the conveyor belt. However, during use, the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt is subjected to excessive tension for a long time, which accelerates fiber stretching and deformation, causing the tension to gradually decrease. This results in insufficient friction between the conveyor belt and the drive roller, leading to slippage and preventing the food materials from being transported normally.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new material hoist for food processing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material lifting machine for food processing.

[0006] The material elevator for food processing provided by this utility model includes: two support plates, a driven roller and a driving roller rotatably connected to the adjacent sides of the two support plates respectively, a conveyor belt sleeved on the outside of the driven roller and the driving roller, multiple baffles fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor belt, a motor installed on the rear side of the rear support plate, a feeding frame fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates, a hopper fixedly connected to the top of the feeding frame, rotating rods symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame, multiple stirring rods fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rods, a gear fixedly connected to the rear side of the rotating rods, a transmission assembly installed on the front side of the front support plate, an adjusting rod movably connected to the adjacent sides of the two support plates, and a receiving block fixedly connected to the distant sides of the two support plates. A sliding hole is opened in the inner wall of the receiving block, a sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole, and an adaptive assembly is installed in the inner wall of the sliding hole.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a drive wheel, the rear side of which is rotatably connected to the front side of the support plate, a driven wheel is rotatably connected to the front side of the feed frame, and belts are sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel and the driven wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the adaptive component includes a fixed rod, the end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole, and a strong spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod.

[0009] Preferably, the drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the drive roller.

[0010] Preferably, the two gears are meshed, and the front side of the gears is rotatably connected to the rear side of the feed frame.

[0011] Preferably, the outer side of the adjusting rod is in contact with the inner ring wall of the conveyor belt, and the adjacent sides of the two sliding blocks are rotatably connected to the two ends of the adjusting rod.

[0012] Preferably, the axis of the drive wheel near the support plate is fixedly connected to the axis of the drive roller away from the motor, and the axis of the driven wheel near the feed frame is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating rods away from the gear.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the sliding block is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixed rod, one end of the strong spring is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the sliding hole, and the other end of the strong spring is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the material elevator for food processing provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: When the conveyor belt experiences fiber stretching deformation and tension reduction due to prolonged excessive tension, the powerful spring inside the receiving block can push the sliding block to slide, thereby moving the adjusting rod and adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt. This prevents the conveyor belt from slipping against components such as the drive roller, ensuring the continuous and stable transport of food materials and improving the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

[0015] When this invention is in operation, the starting motor drives the active roller to rotate, and then through the transmission of the active wheel, belt and driven wheel, the two rotating rods rotate synchronously. Multiple agitating rods on the outside will agitate the food fed from the hopper in the feed frame, so that the food falls onto the conveyor belt more evenly and smoothly, avoiding the occurrence of blockage in the feed frame and ensuring the continuity of material conveying.

[0019] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A material elevator for food processing includes two support plates 1. A driven roller 2 and a driving roller 3 are rotatably connected to adjacent sides of the two support plates 1. A conveyor belt 4 is sleeved on the outside of the driven roller 2 and the driving roller 3. The conveyor belt 4 is made of food-grade rubber material, which has good wear resistance and tensile strength. Multiple baffles 5 are fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor belt 4. These baffles 5 are perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 4 and are used to block food materials during the conveying process to prevent them from slipping. Motor 6 is installed on the rear side of the rear support plate 1. The drive end of motor 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive roller 3 through a coupling, thereby providing power for the rotation of the drive roller 3. Feeding frame 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the two support plates 1. Feeding hopper 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding frame 7. The feeding hopper 8 is a funnel shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which facilitates the pouring of food materials. Rotating rods 9 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame 7. The two rotating rods 9 are parallel to each other. Multiple stirring rods 10 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rods 9. When the rotating rods 9 rotate, they can stir the food materials in the feeding frame 7. Gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rotating rod 9. The two gears 11 are meshed. The front side of the gear 11 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the feeding frame 7. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel 12, which is fixedly connected to the axis of the drive roller 3 away from the motor 6 at the axis near the support plate 1. The rear side of the drive wheel 12 is rotatably connected to the front side of the support plate 1. A driven wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the front side of the feed frame 7. The axis of the driven wheel 13 near the feed frame 7 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the rotating rods 9 away from the gear 11. A belt 14 is fitted around the drive wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13. The belt 14 is made of rubber and has a certain elasticity, which enables the transmission of power. Adjusting rod 15 is used to adjust the tension of conveyor belt 4. Adjusting rod 15 is movably connected to the adjacent side of the two support plates 1. The outer side of adjusting rod 15 is in contact with the inner ring wall of conveyor belt 4. Accommodating block 16 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two support plates 1. Sliding hole 17 is opened on the inner wall of the accommodation block 16. Sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 17. The adjacent side of the two sliding blocks 18 is rotatably connected to the two ends of adjusting rod 15 respectively. An adaptive component is installed on the inner wall of the sliding hole 17. The adaptive component includes a fixed rod 19. The inner wall of the sliding block 18 is slidably connected to the outside of the fixed rod 19. The end of the fixed rod 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 17. A strong spring 20 is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 19. One end of the strong spring 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the sliding hole 17, and the other end of the strong spring 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 18.

[0021] The working principle of the material elevator for food processing provided by this utility model is as follows: In the food processing process, when the material elevator for food processing is needed, the motor 6 is started first. After the motor 6 runs, it drives the drive roller 3 to start rotating. When the drive roller 3 rotates, it drives the drive wheel 12 associated with it to rotate together. After the drive wheel 12 rotates, through the transmission action of the belt 14, the driven wheel 13 also rotates. When the driven wheel 13 rotates, it drives one of the rotating rods 9 connected to it to rotate. Since the two gears 11 are meshed, the rotation of this rotating rod 9 will drive the other rotating rod 9 to rotate synchronously through the transmission of the gears 11. When the two rotating rods 9 rotate, they will drive the multiple stirring rods 10 outside each to stir in the feed frame 7. At the same time, the rotation of the drive roller 3 will drive the externally mounted conveyor belt 4 to move. When the conveyor belt 4 moves, it will drive the driven roller 2 to rotate as well, so that the conveyor belt 4 will move continuously in a cycle. When the food is put into the hopper 8, it will enter the feed frame 7. After being stirred by the stirring rod 10, the food can fall onto the conveyor belt 4 more evenly and smoothly, avoiding blockage. Multiple baffles 5 fixedly connected to the outside of the conveyor belt 4 will continuously convey the food falling onto the conveyor belt 4 upward as the conveyor belt 4 moves. During long-term use of the conveyor belt 4, if the fibers are stretched and deformed due to excessive tension, and the tension gradually decreases, the adaptive component will come into play. The strong spring 20 in the sliding hole 17 on the inner wall of the receiving block 16 will push the sliding block 18 to slide in the sliding hole 17. The sliding of the sliding block 18 will drive the adjusting rod 15 to move. The adjusting rod 15 will contact the inner ring wall of the conveyor belt 4, thereby adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 4 and preventing the conveyor belt 4 from slipping with the drive roller 3 and other components due to insufficient tension, thus ensuring that the conveyor belt 4 can continuously and stably transport food materials.
