[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects:
[0015] Firstly, by using the set classification components, when it is necessary to classify areca nuts, the second cylinder is controlled first, so that the distance between multiple cylinders will change under the extension and retraction of the second cylinder. First, the distance between the cylinders is adjusted to be similar to that of small areca nuts, and then the vibration motor is started. Under the start of the vibration motor, the inner box shakes, which can separate the small areca nuts at the top of the multiple cylinders. The large areca nuts cannot pass through the distance between the cylinders and will be left at the top of the cylinders, thus achieving the effect of classifying areca nuts. Moreover, the machine classification not only increases the efficiency of areca nut classification, but also the quality of areca nuts classified by hand is better, further increasing the practicality of the device.
[0016] Secondly, through the adjustment components, after the areca nuts are sorted, they will fall into the holding box under the action of the conversion box. After the areca nuts in the holding box reach the first conveyor belt, when the areca nuts in the holding box reach the second conveyor belt, the adjustment components will make all the areca nuts enter the first conveyor belt vertically, so that the next cutting work can be carried out conveniently.
[0017] Third, through the cutting component, when the first conveyor belt transports the areca nut, the pads on opposite sides of the shell will stick together under the action of the fourth cylinder until the first conveyor belt moves the areca nut to the end and it falls onto the top of the pad. At this time, the first conveyor belt closes and the third cylinder starts, so that the cutting blade splits the areca nut in two, thus achieving the effect of cutting the areca nut. Under the action of the machine, the efficiency of cutting areca nut can be improved, and the quality of cutting areca nut can be further improved. Moreover, the device has the advantages of flexible structure, convenient installation, high efficiency and convenience of operation, and reduced manpower and material input.

[0028] Example 2
[0029] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to achieve the purpose of areca nut sorting, this embodiment has made an innovative design to the sorting component 10. Specifically, the sorting component 10 includes a second slide groove 101 disposed on opposite sides of the inner box 8. Each second slide groove 101 has a second slider 102 disposed inside it. Multiple second sliders 102 are disposed. Each opposite side of the second slide groove 101 has a connecting plate 103 disposed on it. Each opposite side of the connecting plate 103 has a cylinder 104 disposed on it. Second cylinders 105 are disposed on both sides of the connecting plate 103. The interior of the second slide groove 101 is slidably connected to the left side of the second slider 102. There is a third slider 106, and a second baffle 107 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the third slider 106. The second cylinder 105 is controlled so that the distance between the multiple cylinders 104 will change under the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 105. First, the distance between the cylinders 104 is adjusted to be about the same as that of small areca nuts. Then, the vibration motor is started. Under the start of the vibration motor, the inner box 8 shakes, which can separate the small areca nuts at the top of the multiple cylinders 104. The large areca nuts cannot pass through the distance between the cylinders 104 and will be left at the top of the cylinders 104, thus achieving the effect of classifying areca nuts.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In order to achieve the purpose of adjustment and movement, in this embodiment, the lower end of the support leg 2 is provided with a threaded hole 3, and a threaded rod 4 is connected to the threaded hole 3. The lower end of the threaded rod 4 is fixedly connected with a universal wheel 5. By rotating the threaded rod 4, the height of the device can be easily adjusted, and the universal wheel 5 can be easily moved under the action of the universal wheel 5. The universal wheel 5 has a built-in braking function.
[0031] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In order to adjust the angle of the areca nuts, in this embodiment, the adjustment component 18 includes a second conveyor belt 182 disposed inside the groove 17. A motor 181 is disposed at the upper end of the anti-drop plate 16. The output shaft of the motor 181 passes through the anti-drop plate 16 and is connected to the second conveyor belt 182 for transmission. Anti-slip blocks 183 are disposed on the outer surface of the second conveyor belt 182. After the areca nuts are sorted, they will fall into the holding box 15 under the action of the conversion box. When the areca nuts from the holding box 15 reach the first conveyor belt 22, the adjustment component 18 will make all the areca nuts enter the first conveyor belt 22 vertically, so that the next cutting work can be carried out conveniently.
[0032] Example 3
[0033] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 Based on Embodiment 2, this embodiment innovatively designs the cutting component 23 to achieve the purpose of cutting areca nuts. Specifically, the cutting component 23 includes a shell 231 disposed on the upper end of the plate surface 1. A third cylinder 232 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the shell 231, and a cutting blade 233 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the third cylinder 232. A fourth cylinder 234 is fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the shell 231, and a pad 235 is fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the fourth cylinder 234. A circular arc groove 236 is opened on the opposite sides of the pad 235. After the first conveyor belt 22 moves the areca nut to the end of the first conveyor belt 22, it falls into the upper end of the pad 235. At this time, the first conveyor belt 22 is closed, and the third cylinder 232 is activated, so that the cutting blade 233 splits the areca nut in two, thus achieving the effect of cutting the areca nut. Under the action of the machine, the efficiency of cutting areca nuts can be improved.
[0034] refer to Figure 6 In order to achieve the purpose of supporting pressure, in this embodiment, a first groove 26 is provided at the lower end of the outer shell 231, and a support rod 27 is slidably connected inside the first groove 26. The other end of the support rod 27 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pad block 235. When the betel nut is cut, a certain pressure will be generated. At this time, the pressure can be supported by the support rod 27, avoiding the phenomenon that the fourth cylinder 234 will be damaged due to relying entirely on the fourth cylinder 234.
[0035] refer to Figure 6 In order to achieve the purpose of pushing the material, in this embodiment, a first cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer shell 231, and a push rod 24 is fixedly connected to the other end of the first cylinder 25 through the outer shell 231. With the push rod 24, when the areca nut is cut and falls into the interior of the outer shell 231, the areca nut is pushed out by the action of the first cylinder 25 and the push rod 24 and then falls into the discharge port 31. When the push rod 24 is used, the pad block 235 is in the open state.
[0036] refer to Figure 1 In order to collect betel nuts, in this embodiment, a slot 28 is provided at the lower end of the plate 1, and a block 29 is slidably connected inside the slot 28. A collection box 30 is fixedly connected at the lower end of the block 29, and the collection box 30 is located directly below the discharge port 31. The collected box 30 can be used to collect the cut betel nuts, and the collection box 30 can be easily removed under the action of the slot 28 and the block 29.
[0037] Operating principle and advantages: First, the device is moved to a suitable position using the casters 5. Then, the areca nuts are manually poured into the inner chamber 8 of the device for sorting. The second cylinder 105 is controlled to adjust the distance between the multiple cylinders 104 as it extends and retracts. Once the distance between the cylinders 104 is adjusted to be approximately the same as that of the smaller areca nuts, the vibration motor is activated. The vibration motor causes the inner chamber 8 to shake, separating the smaller areca nuts from the top of the cylinders 104. Larger areca nuts, unable to pass through the gaps between the cylinders 104, remain inside. The upper end of cylinder 104 achieves a sorting effect for areca nuts. Machine sorting not only increases efficiency but also improves quality compared to manual sorting, further enhancing the device's practicality. After sorting, the areca nuts fall into holding box 15 via a transfer box. From holding box 15, they reach the first conveyor belt 22. When the areca nuts in holding box 15 reach the second conveyor belt 182, the adjusting component 18 ensures all areca nuts enter the first conveyor belt 22 vertically. As the first conveyor belt 22 transports the areca nuts, the outer shell... The opposing pads 235 will stick together under the action of the fourth cylinder 234 until the first conveyor belt 22 moves the areca nut to its end and it falls onto the top of the pad 235. At this time, the first conveyor belt 22 closes, the third cylinder 232 starts, causing the cutting blade 233 to cut the areca nut in two. During the cutting of the areca nut, a certain pressure is generated. This pressure can be supported by the support rod 27, avoiding the fourth cylinder 234 from being damaged due to its reliance on the fourth cylinder 234. Then the cutting blade 233 retracts, and the two pads 235 separate, allowing... The areca nuts on the upper end of the pad 235 fall into the interior of the outer shell 231, thus achieving a cutting effect. The machine can improve the efficiency of areca nut cutting and further increase the quality of the cutting. The device has the advantages of flexible structure, convenient installation, high efficiency and convenience, and reduced manpower and material input. Through the push rod 24, after the areca nuts are cut and fall into the interior of the outer shell 231, the first cylinder 25 and the push rod 24 push the areca nuts out and then into the discharge port 31. The pad 235 is in the open state when the push rod 24 is in use.
