Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tropical fruit coarse processing technology, and in particular relates to a debranching device for tropical fruits. Background Technology

[0002] Tropical fruit debranching equipment is a type of machinery specifically developed for processing branches of tropical fruits such as lychee. It is primarily used to efficiently remove branches or leaves attached to the fruit. As a key piece of equipment in the modern fruit processing industry chain, it not only significantly improves processing efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also ensures the quality stability and appearance consistency of the finished fruit, providing important technical support for the industrial processing of tropical fruits. The rotary debranching machine, in particular, uses a precision-designed rotary blade system, achieving accurate cutting of fruit branches through high-speed rotating alloy blades. This equipment is especially suitable for processing branches and fruits with shells, such as lychee. However, in practical use, tropical fruit debranching equipment still has the following drawbacks:

[0003] In the processing of tropical fruits, the branches and stems are directly removed using debranching equipment. However, the fruit particles with different sizes after the branches and stems are removed do not have a screening effect. During the operation, additional equipment is needed for screening, which affects efficiency and the processing efficiency of the fruit.

[0004] Secondly, in fruit production, directly removing branches from fruit using debranching equipment requires feeding each fruit onto the equipment individually for branch removal. This process is lengthy and inefficient when debranching fruit in batches. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a debranching device for tropical fruits. By setting up a rotating sleeve, a support base, a drive assembly, and a driven ring, it solves the problems that the debranching device for tropical fruits does not have the function of screening fruits and that the efficiency of debranching fruits in batches is low.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model relates to a debranching device for tropical fruits, comprising a rotating sleeve, a support base, a drive assembly, and a driven ring. The drive assembly is located at one end of the rotating sleeve. The drive assembly includes a rotating ring, a support ring, and support rods. The rotating ring is fixed to one end of the rotating sleeve. The support ring is movably connected to the lower periphery of the rotating ring. Support rods are fixed to the two short sides of the support ring. Extending holes are evenly distributed throughout the periphery of the rotating sleeve near the drive assembly. The support base is located at the lower periphery of the rotating sleeve, below the extending holes. The driven ring is fixed to the end of the rotating sleeve furthest from the drive assembly. During operation, the rotating sleeve rotates, and the spiral blades within it rotate, driving the fruit through the rotating sleeve. The fruit is first screened, and as it passes above the support base, excess branches are removed by a cutting blade. The drive assembly drives the rotating sleeve to rotate, and the driven ring supports the end of the rotating sleeve furthest from the drive assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating sleeve on the outer side of the support base is evenly provided with sieve holes, which are located at one end of the rotating sleeve near the driven ring. A spiral blade is fixed inside the rotating sleeve, and the sieve holes on the support base screen fruits with excessively small particle sizes.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixed to the top of the support base, and a cutter is fixed to one side of the fixing plate. The cutter is located on the lower part of the circumference of the rotating sleeve, and the cutting edge of the cutter contacts the lower part of the circumference of the protrusion hole. The cutter connected to the fixing plate at the top of the support base cuts off the fruit stem.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes an L-shaped bracket, a drive motor, and a drive gear. An L-shaped bracket is fixed to the top of one of the support rods. A drive motor is fixed to the vertical portion on the outer side of the L-shaped bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the L-shaped bracket and the drive gear is fixed to the end of the drive motor located inside the L-shaped bracket. When the L-shaped bracket is in operation, it supports the drive motor, and the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a gear ring, on the circumference of the rotating ring, the drive gear is movably connected inside the rotating ring and meshes with the gear ring, when the drive gear rotates, it drives the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating sleeve to rotate.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting seat is movably connected to the outer side of the driven ring, and the driven ring is fitted into the top of the connecting seat. When the driven ring is working, it is supported on the ground by the connecting seat.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention solves the problem that tropical fruit debranching equipment does not also have a fruit screening function by setting up a rotating sleeve, a drive assembly, and a driven ring. After the drive motor is started, the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate. During the rotation of the drive gear, the drive gear meshes with the gear ring, driving the gear ring and the rotating ring to rotate. When the rotating ring rotates, it drives the rotating sleeve and the driven ring to rotate. At this time, tropical fruits can be put into the rotating sleeve from the driven ring. As the spiral blades inside the rotating sleeve rotate, the fruits are driven to tumble at the positions where the sieve holes are opened on the periphery of the rotating sleeve. Fruits that are too small are screened out through the sieve holes. Fruits that meet the requirements are transported to the rotating sleeve where the extension hole is opened. After the remaining branches are removed from most of the fruits, they are transported to the rotating ring for output to the next processing equipment, so that the tropical fruit debranching equipment can also perform fruit screening.

[0015] This invention solves the problem of low efficiency in batch fruit debranching by setting up a rotating sleeve and a support base. When the fruit passes through the rotating sleeve, the sleeve rotates. During the rotation of the sleeve, when the fruit passes through the protrusion hole on the side of the rotating sleeve, the branch protrudes from the protrusion hole. During the rotation of the sleeve, the fruit stem protruding from the rotating sleeve is cut by the cutter and falls down. The fruit continues to be transported to the rotating ring by the rotating spiral blades inside the sleeve, making the efficiency of batch fruit debranching higher. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model relates to a debranching device for tropical fruits, comprising a rotating sleeve 1, a support base 2, a drive assembly 3, and a driven ring 4. The drive assembly 3 is located at one end of the rotating sleeve 1. During operation, the rotating sleeve 1 transports tropical fruits (such as lychees with hard shells) that require debranching. The drive assembly 3 rotates the rotating sleeve 1. The drive assembly 3 includes a rotating ring 301, a support ring 303, and a support rod 304. The rotating ring 301 is fixed to one end of the rotating sleeve 1. During operation, the rotating ring 301 connects to the rotating sleeve 1 and supports one end of the rotating sleeve 1 on the support ring 303. The support ring 303 is movably connected to the lower periphery of the rotating ring 301, supporting the rotating sleeve 1. On the support ring 303, support rods 304 are fixed at the two short sides of the support ring 303. The support rods 304 support the support ring 303 and the L-shaped bracket 305. The rotating sleeve 1 has an extension hole 101 evenly opened on the circumference of the side near the drive component 3. When the fruit passes through the rotating sleeve 1, the branches of the fruit extend out of the extension hole 101. A support seat 2 is provided at the lower part of the circumference of the rotating sleeve 1. The support seat 2 is connected to a fixing plate 201. The fixing plate 201 is connected to a cutter 202. The support seat 2 is located below the extension hole 101 on the circumference of the rotating sleeve 1. A driven ring 4 is fixed at the end of the rotating sleeve 1 away from the drive component 3. When the driven ring 4 is working, it passively supports the end of the rotating sleeve 1 away from the drive component 3.

[0026] Specifically, the rotating sleeve 1 on the outer side of the support base 2 is evenly provided with sieve holes 102. The sieve holes 102 are located at one end of the rotating sleeve 1 near the driven ring 4. A spiral blade 103 is fixed inside the rotating sleeve 1. When it is necessary to remove branches from tropical fruits, the fruits are poured into the rotating sleeve 1. As the rotating sleeve 1 rotates, the spiral blade 103 drives the fruits to be spirally conveyed. When the fruits pass through the sieve holes 102 on the rotating sleeve 1, fruits that are too small are screened out through the sieve holes 102. When the fruits pass through the area with the extension holes 101, the branches remaining on the fruits extend out of the outside of the rotating sleeve 1.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing plate 201 is fixed to the top of the support base 2, and a cutter 202 is fixed to one side of the fixing plate 201. The cutter 202 is located on the lower part of the circumference of the rotating sleeve 1, and the cutting edge of the cutter 202 contacts the lower part of the circumference of the protrusion hole 101. The fixing plate 201 on the support base 2 is connected to the cutter 202, and the cutter 202 cuts off the branches of the fruit protruding from the rotating sleeve 1 as the rotating sleeve 1 rotates.

[0028] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, when the fruit passes through the rotating sleeve 1, the rotating sleeve 1 rotates. During the rotation of the rotating sleeve 1, when the fruit passes through the extension hole 101 on the side of the rotating sleeve 1, the branch extends out of the extension hole 101. During the rotation of the rotating sleeve 1, the fruit stem branch extending out of the rotating sleeve 1 is cut by the cutter 202 and the branch falls down. The fruit continues to be transported to the rotating ring 301 as the spiral blade 103 inside the rotating sleeve 1 rotates. Specific Implementation Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , 2 4, 5. Based on the specific embodiment one, the drive assembly 3 also includes an L-shaped bracket 305, a drive motor 306, and a drive gear 307. The top end of a support rod 304 is fixed with an L-shaped bracket 305. The vertical part on the outside of the L-shaped bracket 305 is fixed with a drive motor 306. The output shaft of the drive motor 306 passes through the L-shaped bracket 305 and the end set inside the L-shaped bracket 305 is fixed with a drive gear 307. When the drive assembly 3 is working, the L-shaped bracket 305 supports the drive motor 306, and the drive motor 306 drives the drive gear 307 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, the drive assembly 3 also includes a gear ring 302. The gear ring 302 is fixedly embedded in the circumference of the rotating ring 301. The drive gear 307 is movably connected inside the rotating ring 301 and meshes with the gear ring 302. When the drive gear 307 rotates, the rotating sleeve 1 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the drive gear 307 and the gear ring 302.

[0031] Furthermore, a connecting seat 401 is movably connected to the outer side of the driven ring 4, and the driven ring 4 is fitted into the top of the connecting seat 401. During operation, the connecting seat 401 on the driven ring 4 supports and restricts the end of the rotating sleeve 1 away from the drive assembly 3, and is supported and set on the connecting seat 401.

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During operation, after starting the drive motor 306, the drive motor 306 drives the drive gear 307 to rotate. During the rotation of the drive gear 307, the drive gear 307 meshes with the gear ring 302, driving the gear ring 302 and the rotating ring 301 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating ring 301, the rotating sleeve 1 and the driven ring 4 are driven to rotate. At this time, tropical fruits can be put into the rotating sleeve 1 from the driven ring 4. During the rotation of the spiral blade 103 in the rotating sleeve 1, the fruits are driven to tumble at the position where the sieve holes 102 are opened on the circumference of the rotating sleeve 1. Fruits that are too small are sieved out in the sieve holes 102. Fruits that meet the requirements are transported to the position where the rotating sleeve 1 has the extension hole 101. After the residual branches are cut off from most of the fruits, they are transported to the rotating ring 301 and output to the next processing equipment.
