DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , a small-sized sand apple pitting device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, and the frame 1 is used to carry various components; a shell can be provided on the outside of the frame 1 to ensure that the sand apple is more hygienic during the pit removal process.

[0031] The fruit tray 2 includes a bottom plate and two side plates arranged opposite to each other; the bottom plate and the two side plates are fixedly connected to the vertical plate 3 of the frame 1; the vertical plate 3 is provided with a through hole 31; it can be imagined that the upper part of the fruit tray can form an opening for the entry of sand apples, and the end opposite to the cutter head can form an opening for the sand apples to be taken out after the cores are removed. The two side plates can form a contraction structure with a large distance at the upper end and a small distance at the lower end to ensure that the sand apples can be better fixed.

[0032] A core removing knife assembly, the core removing knife assembly includes a guide sleeve 4, a pressure rod 5, a knife rod 6 and a knife head 7; the guide sleeve 4 is axially arranged horizontally and fixedly connected to the frame 1, the pressure rod 5 is sleeved inside the guide sleeve 4, the knife rod 6 is connected to the pressure rod 5, and the knife head 7 is connected to the knife rod 6; the knife head 7 has a tubular structure forming a notch 71; the front end of the knife head can form a circumferential blade to ensure that it can smoothly enter the sand apple for core removal.

[0033] The push rod 8 is arranged horizontally in its axial direction and is fixedly connected to the frame 1; the outer diameter of the push rod 8 can be appropriately smaller than the inner diameter of the cutter head, so as to ensure that the push rod 8 can smoothly enter the cutter head and push the fruit core in the cutter head to the rear of the cutter head, so that the fruit core moves toward the notch and falls from the opening. The opening of the cutter head can face downward.

[0034] Wherein, the core removing knife assembly and the push rod are respectively located on both sides of the vertical plate, and the knife head can pass through the through hole under the drive of the pressure rod and allow the push rod to be inserted into the knife rod, so as to remove the fruit core remaining in the knife rod through the notch.

[0035] In order to realize the automatic supply of sand apples, a fruit cylinder 9 is also included, and the fruit cylinder 9 is connected to the frame 1. Both ends of the fruit cylinder 9 are open and formed with a feed port and a discharge port, and the discharge port is opposite to the fruit tray; the fruit cylinder 9 is used to store the sand apples to be pitted and supply the sand apples to be pitted to the fruit tray 2 in a single supply manner under the action of the sand apples' own gravity. In order to facilitate the leakage of the sand apples, the discharge port has a semicircular hole structure. In order to facilitate cleaning, the fruit cylinder is connected to the frame in a slide connection manner.

[0036] In order to facilitate the collection of pitted sand apples and fruit cores separately, a finished product storage box 10 and a fruit core storage box 11 connected to the frame are also included. The finished product storage box 10 and the pitting knife assembly are located on the same side of the vertical board to receive the pitted sand apples brought back when the knife head is reset, and the fruit core storage box 11 and the top rod 8 are located on the same side of the vertical board to receive the fallen fruit cores. For easy cleaning, the finished product storage box and the fruit core storage box are connected to the frame in a slide connection.

[0037] Furthermore, a return spring 12 is mounted on the pressure rod. A cushion block 13 is formed on the fruit tray. The pressure rod 5 is connected to the knife bar 6 by a threaded connection, and the knife bar 6 is connected to the knife head 7 by a threaded connection. The fruit tray 2 is connected to the vertical plate 3 by a position-adjustable screw, and the top rod 8 is connected to the frame 1 by a screw.

[0038] The fruit holding barrel provided in the present application is connected to the frame by a slide, which is convenient for removal for maintenance and cleaning; the finished product storage box and the fruit core storage box are connected to the frame by a slide, which is convenient for removal for cleaning and fruit pouring; the reset spring is sleeved on the knife rod; the pressure rod and the knife rod are threadedly connected; the guide sleeve is fixedly connected to the frame; the knife rod and the guide sleeve are clearance-fitted; the knife head and the knife rod are threadedly connected, which is convenient for removal, replacement and cleaning; the fruit tray is fixed to the frame vertical plate by screws, and the screw position is adjustable for accurate centering; the top rod is connected to the frame shell by screws; the pad is fixed to the fruit tray, which is convenient for adjusting the position difference due to the larger end and smaller end of the sand apple.

[0039] When the device is in use, the sand apples are placed in the fruit holding cylinder according to the size of the heads. A semicircular hole is opened at the bottom of the fruit holding cylinder for the sand apples to leak out. Under the action of their own gravity, the sand apples can be supplied to the fruit tray one at a time. At this time, the cutter head is in the initial position. After the sand apples are placed, the fruit tray can position the sand apples. The through hole on the vertical plate is smaller than the diameter of the sand apples, so the vertical plate can form a barrier to the sand apples to prevent the cutter head from squeezing and moving forward. The two side plates can ensure that the sand apples will not move left and right. Press the pressure rod, the pressure rod pushes the knife rod, the knife rod drives the cutter head, the cutter head cuts into the sand apples and cuts off the fruit core and stores it in the cutter head. The cutter head continues to move forward through the through hole on the vertical plate. When it encounters the ejector rod, the core is ejected and falls off from the vacant part of the cutter head into the fruit core storage box. Release the pressure rod, the reset spring resets the cutter head, and the cutter head brings the sand apples back while resetting. The guide sleeve holds the sand apples against it and makes it fall into the finished product storage box to complete the recycling. At this time, the next sand apple in the fruit container is put into the fruit tray and waits for the next pitting.

[0040] In summary, the small sand apple pitting device provided by the present application has a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to install and use, and has a low manufacturing cost. Multiple sand apples can be added at a time, and the pits can be automatically removed and recycled while the pits are removed, and the finished products are also recycled. It is simple, clean, and practical, and the pit and finished product storage box are connected to the machine body by a slide, which is convenient for removal and cleaning. The head of the cutter is inward-retracted, which avoids waste of pulp.
