Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of citrus processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic citrus cake-deseeding and blanking machine. Background Art

[0002] Tangerine cake is a traditional citrus processed product. It is sweet and sour, soft in texture, and rich in essential oils and flavonoids from citrus peels. Tangerine cake has the functions of eliminating phlegm and regulating qi, and strengthening the stomach and digestion, and is very popular among consumers. Traditional tangerine cake processing uses a manual knife-cutting, squeezing and seeding process to process citrus cake blanks. The processing efficiency is low and the standardization is poor, which urgently needs to be improved.

[0003] A citrus crushing and seeding machine with application number CN201721763109.6 includes a frame, a seeding and separation device, a crushing device, a feed inlet, a seed material collection bucket and a pulp collection bucket. The seeding and separation device includes a seed separation frame, a pulp filter, two sets of seed peeling knives and a seed peeling knife drive mechanism; the crushing device includes a crushing box, a crushing knife and a crushing knife drive mechanism; the shape of the feed inlet is adapted to the shape of the crushing box and is installed on the top of the crushing box; the seed material collection bucket is connected to the lower left end of the seed separation frame; the pulp collection bucket is connected to the lower end of the seed separation frame and is located on the right side of the seed material collection bucket. The citrus crushing and seeding machine of the utility model is first coarsely crushed at a low speed by the crushing device, and then the high-speed rotating seed peeling knife in the seeding and separation device quickly separates the pulp sac and the seed material. The seeding efficiency is high, and the seeding completeness rate is more than 98%. It is the most ideal equipment for the citrus seeding production line;

[0004] The method is to first peel the citrus and then use a high-speed rotating seed peeling knife to quickly separate the pulp sac and seeds. Although the seeds can be removed well, this process will cause a large waste of juice, and the overall process cannot separate the juice. Peeling the citrus will also bring great work intensity to the staff, and the peeled citrus is not suitable for making citrus cakes. Summary of the invention

Through the above-mentioned specific structural design, the main cylinder can be used for guiding the peel cutting of citrus fruits of different sizes. In actual application, if the citrus fruit is large in size, the pushing component 7 pushes the citrus fruit to move downward in the main cylinder. The citrus fruit will push the limiting cylinder plate 406 to rotate and expand outward around the hinge seat 405. At this time, the spring 408 is elastically compressed.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] The citrus fruits after cleaning and grading are introduced into the main cylinder of the pressing cylinder assembly 4, and the pushing assembly 7 pushes the citrus fruits from top to bottom in the main cylinder. During the pushing process, the peels of the citrus fruits are cut by the cutting blades 404 provided on the inner wall of the main cylinder. When the citrus fruits are pushed to the tray structure 3, the internal pressure generated by the squeezing between the tray structure 3 and the pushing assembly 7 causes the citrus seeds to be squeezed out from the cut peels. The squeezed seeds are discharged from the seed row ring between the squeezing base 8 and the main cylinder, and are collected in the seed collecting box 6. The juice generated during the squeezing process is guided through the tray structure 3 to the juice collecting box 203 in the juice collecting platform 2.

[0052] After the citrus seeds are squeezed, the tray structure 3 moves downward under the drive of the lifting drive unit, and lowers the squeezed cake dough to below the squeezing base 8. At this time, the high-pressure gas generated by the high-pressure fan 5 blows the cake dough to the cake dough baffle 10, and after being blocked, it falls into the cake dough receiving chute 9 for discharge and collection. Then, the tray structure 3 moves upward and resets to repeat the next round of squeezing.

[0053] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
