Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air separation equipment technology, and in particular to a gardenia fruit air separation and leaf removal device. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of gardenia fruit, removing the leaves is a crucial and necessary step. The presence of leaves not only affects the subsequent processing quality of gardenia fruit and reduces the quality of the final product, but may also interfere with the normal operation of processing equipment, increase equipment failure rate, and affect production efficiency. Therefore, efficient and accurate removal of leaves from gardenia fruit is of great significance for ensuring the stable development of the gardenia fruit processing industry.

[0003] In existing gardenia fruit air-separation blade removal devices, the hopper only guides the material to fall and cannot effectively control the initial movement of gardenia fruits and leaves. When gardenia fruits and leaves enter the air-separation area from the hopper, they often fall within a small area, resulting in uneven distribution. This uneven distribution prevents the airflow from being fully utilized, and some leaves may not be effectively blown away due to being too densely packed with gardenia fruits, thus reducing the accuracy of air separation. Therefore, we propose an air-separation blade removal device for gardenia fruits. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a gardenia fruit air separation and leaf removal device. This device solves the problem that in the existing gardenia fruit air separation and leaf removal devices, the hopper only serves to guide the material to fall and cannot effectively control the initial movement state of the gardenia fruit and leaves. When the gardenia fruit and leaves enter the air separation area from the hopper, they often fall in a small area, resulting in uneven distribution of them in the air separation area. This uneven distribution prevents the wind power from being fully utilized, and some leaves may not be effectively blown away because they are too densely packed with gardenia fruit, thus reducing the accuracy of air separation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a gardenia fruit wind-sorting leaf removal device, comprising:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a gardenia fruit wind-sorting leaf removal device, comprising:

[0027] Belt conveyor mechanism 1 (2), belt conveyor mechanism 2 (3), and support frame (4). A hopper (5) is fixedly installed inside the support frame (4).

[0028] Air separation structure, the air separation structure is located on the feed hopper 5;

[0029] The air classifier structure includes an air classifier box 1, a first guide plate 9, a second guide plate 11, a first blower fan 10, and a mounting frame 13. The air classifier box 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the hopper 5. A through hole 7 is provided on one side of the air classifier box 1. The mounting frame 13 is fixedly connected inside the through hole 7. The first blower fan 10 is mounted on the mounting frame 13. The second guide plate 11 is fixedly connected inside the air classifier box 1. The first guide plate 9 is fixedly connected inside the hopper 5. A second through hole 8 is provided on the side of the hopper 5 near the first through hole 7.

[0030] The air separation structure also includes a triangular box 15, a fixed frame 16, a blower fan 17, and a screen 18. The triangular box 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the hopper 5, the fixed frame 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the triangular box 15, the blower fan 17 is installed on the fixed frame 16, and a through hole 14 is opened on the side of the triangular box 15 away from the through hole 8. The screen 18 is fixedly installed inside the through hole 14, and the fixed frame 16 has a "C" shaped structure.

[0031] A collection trough 12 is provided on one side of the air separator 1, and a collection box 6 is slidably connected inside the collection trough 12.

[0032] The air separator 1 has an "L" shaped structure. The hopper 5 is located above the belt conveyor mechanism 2 3, and the discharge end of the belt conveyor mechanism 2 is located above the hopper 5.

[0033] Furthermore, when using the device, the harvested gardenia fruits are placed on the belt conveyor mechanism 2. As the belt conveyor mechanism 2 operates, the gardenia fruits are transported to its discharge end and fall into the hopper 5 below. The gardenia fruits and impurities such as leaves that fall into the hopper 5 continue to fall under the action of gravity. At this time, the blower fan 10 is started. The blower fan 10 blows air into the air separator box 1 through the through hole 7. Since the leaves are relatively light, they will be blown into the collection box 6 by the airflow under the action of the wind. The relatively heavy gardenia fruits continue to fall under the guidance of the guide plate 21 and the guide plate 9.

[0034] As the falling gardenia fruits and any leaves that may not have been initially separated enter the guide plate 9, the blower fan 2 17 is activated. The blower fan 2 17 blows air into the hopper 5 through the through hole 3 14. The baffle 18 prevents the gardenia fruits from entering the triangular box 15 without affecting the airflow. At this time, under the action of the wind force again, the remaining leaves will be blown out further, while the gardenia fruits will fall smoothly onto the belt conveyor mechanism 2 3 below, and be transported to the next process by the belt conveyor mechanism 2 3.

[0035] The blown-out blades and other impurities move with the airflow in the air separator 1 and eventually fall into the collection box 6 in the collection tank 12. The collection box 6 is periodically removed from the collection tank 12 to clean the impurities.

[0036] This device, through the rational arrangement of guide plates 211 and 19, alters the movement state of gardenia fruits and leaves, causing them to gradually disperse during their descent. This avoids them falling in a concentrated area, allowing the wind force to act more evenly on each gardenia fruit and leaf, thus improving the accuracy of air separation. It solves the problem of uneven material distribution leading to poor air separation effect in existing devices, thereby improving the separation effect of gardenia fruits and leaves and providing high-quality raw materials for subsequent processing steps.
