Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of macadamia nuts, in particular to a macadamia nut storage bin. Background Art

[0002] Macadamia nuts are primarily grown in Yunnan, Guangxi, and other provinces in my country. With the expansion of cultivated areas, the technological level of macadamia nut processing equipment is also gradually improving. Green macadamia nuts refer to freshly picked macadamia nuts, which are covered with a green outer skin. Farmers generally use woven bags to pack the green macadamia nuts after picking. After transporting them to the processing plant, workers need to separate the green macadamia nuts in the bags and pour them into storage silos. For example, Chinese patent application number 202020448325.7 discloses a fresh macadamia nut storage silo, which includes a chamber inside the storage silo; a feed silo at the bottom of the chamber; a feed outlet at the top of the feed silo; the feed outlet opening is higher than the chamber floor; a feed filter is provided on the feed outlet; a feed hopper is provided below the feed outlet; the feed hopper is a conical structure; the feed hopper is hollow; a discharge outlet is provided at the bottom of the feed hopper; a lifting conveyor is provided below the discharge outlet; the lifting conveyor is connected to the conveyor motor; and a discharge valve is provided at the discharge outlet. During unloading, forklifts and other transfer equipment place the woven bags containing green macadamia nuts on the discharge filter screen, and then workers separate the bags on the filter screen to allow the green macadamia nuts to roll into the silo. However, during operation, tools such as knives are prone to fall from the discharge filter screen, making it easy for the cutter to get stuck on the feeding equipment. At the same time, the woven bags are prone to contain soil, which is also easy to affect the feeding equipment. Therefore, a green macadamia nut storage silo is needed, the lower part of which is provided with a hollow part, and the upper part of the hollow part is provided with a magnetic ring to reduce the amount of soil and iron tools falling into the storage silo, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the feeding equipment.

[0020] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a macadamia nut green fruit storage bin, comprising: a storage bin body 1, a discharge hopper 2, a feeding conveyor belt 3, and a workbench 4. The storage bin body 1 is buried in the ground, the discharge hopper 2 is installed on the ground through a bracket 5, and the lower part of the discharge hopper 2 is connected to the upper part of the storage bin body 1 through a feeding pipe 6; the lower part of the storage bin body 1 is connected to the processing equipment through the feeding conveyor belt 3; the workbench 4 is installed on one side of the discharge hopper 2, and the upper part of the workbench 4 is flush with the upper part of the discharge hopper 2; the feeding pipe 6 is provided with a hollow part 7, and a magnetic ring 8 is mounted on one side of the hollow part 7.

[0021] During unloading, after stacking the bags of macadamia nuts on the pallet, use a forklift to place the pallet on the top of the workbench 4. The unloading hopper 2 is higher than the storage bin body 1. After the workers move the bags to the top of the unloading hopper 2 one by one, they use a knife to cut the bags open, so that the macadamia nuts in the bags roll onto the grille 14. Since the holes in the grille 14 are larger than the macadamia nuts, the macadamia nuts can fall into the unloading hopper 2. The lower part of the unloading hopper 2 is tilted, so that the macadamia nuts roll into the feed pipe 6 under the action of gravity, and move from the feed pipe 6 to the storage bin body 1, completing the unloading operation.

[0022] Soil, leaves, branches and other debris mixed in the macadamia nuts, as well as tools such as knives accidentally dropped by workers when unloading, these items follow the macadamia nuts into the feeding tube 6. When passing through the hollow part 7, the gap between the iron bars 9 is smaller than that of the macadamia nuts, so the macadamia nuts can roll normally. The size of the debris is smaller than the gap between the iron bars 9, so it will fall from the hollow part 7 into the receiving tray 13. Since tools such as knives can only fall from the hollow part 7 along the way, there is a certain probability that they will not fall from the hollow part 7. Therefore, in order to prevent tools such as knives from falling into the storage bin body 1, the device is also provided with a magnetic ring 8 on the outside of the lower end of the hollow part 7. When iron tools such as knives pass through the position of the magnetic ring 8, the iron tools are adsorbed by the magnetic ring 8 and are fixed in the magnetic ring 8 to prevent the iron tools from falling into the storage bin body 1, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the feeding conveyor belt and subsequent processing equipment.

[0023] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of iron rods 9 are provided on the hollow portion 7, and the iron rods 9 are connected to the feeding tube 6. The iron rods 9 are arranged in a circular array, and a gap of 10mm to 15mm is left between the iron rods 9, and the iron rods 9 are parallel to the axis of the feeding tube 6. The gap between the iron rods 9 is smaller than that of the green macadamia nuts, so the green macadamia nuts can roll normally, and the size of the debris is smaller than the gap between the iron rods 9, so it will fall from the hollow portion 7 to the receiving tray 13, reducing the probability of debris entering the storage bin body 1.

[0024] Specifically, a first connecting plate 1O is provided on the iron rod 9, and the magnetic ring 8 is connected to the iron rod 9 through the first connecting plate 1O. The first connecting plate 1O is connected to the iron rod 9 along the radial direction of the feeding tube 6, so that the magnetic ring 8 will not slide on the hollow part 7 after installation.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, Figure 3As shown, the magnetic ring 8 includes two semicircular ring parts 11, and second connecting plates 12 are provided on both sides of the semicircular ring parts 11. The semicircular ring parts 11 are connected to each other through the second connecting plates 12, and when the second connecting plates 12 are connected to each other, the first connecting plate 10 is located between the second connecting plates 12. The magnetic ring 8 can be disassembled, which is convenient for regular cleaning of iron tools, iron filings and other items adsorbed by the magnetic ring 8. The semicircular ring part 11 is embedded with multiple strong magnets, which can adsorb iron items. The adsorbed iron tools and iron filings will stay in the gap between the iron rods 9 to avoid blocking the green macadamia nuts. At the same time, the iron rods 9 will also be magnetized under the action of the strong magnet, increasing the probability of iron tools and iron filings being adsorbed, ensuring that subsequent equipment will not be affected by iron debris.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, steps are provided on the side of the workbench 4 to facilitate workers to climb onto the workbench 4 and enter the upper part of the discharge hopper 2 to work.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a receiving tray 13 is provided below the hollow portion 7 to collect debris that falls from above.

[0028] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, an opening is provided at the top of the discharge hopper 2, and a grille 14 is installed on the opening to facilitate workers to stand. At the same time, a plurality of holes are provided on the grille 14 to facilitate the passage of macadamia nuts, and at the same time, there is a certain probability of intercepting long objects such as knives or branches from falling into the discharge hopper 2.

[0029] Of course, the present invention may have many other implementations. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
