Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fruit and melon peeling devices and methods, and particularly relates to a Calotropis gigantea fruit shell separation device and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Calotropis gigantea is a perennial shrub plant that grows mostly in tropical and subtropical regions and has high economic value. Its fruit fiber is a newly developed natural plant fiber that is being rapidly developed. It belongs to cellulose fiber. Calotropis gigantea fiber has the luster of silk, the feel of wool, the moisture absorption and breathability of cotton, and also has a natural antibacterial effect. However, due to the three-layer structure of the Calotropis gigantea fruit, namely the sac, seeds, and fiber, how to extract and purify the fiber is a major difficulty in the current Calotropis gigantea fiber industry and also a hot issue in the development of the Calotropis gigantea fiber industry. After the Calotropis gigantea fruits are picked, if they are not artificially air-dried, the fresh fruits will quickly mold and rot after being stacked, stored, or transported, resulting in fiber damage; after air-drying, the outer shell becomes hard and brittle and is extremely easy to break. It is very difficult to separate and purify using the existing technology, and it is basically manually extracted. Therefore, to achieve large-scale extraction and purification of Calotropis gigantea fiber and realize mechanized operation, researching a machine that can automatically remove the Calotropis gigantea pulp and separate the seeds and fiber from the sac has become the key to the mechanization of Calotropis gigantea fiber.

[0003] Currently in the textile industry, certain achievements have been made regarding the difficult problem of separating and removing the sac and seeds of Calotropis gigantea fiber. However, after the Calotropis gigantea fruits are collected, how to quickly and efficiently remove the sac and reduce fruit cracking and fiber damage caused by improper storage and long-distance transportation extrusion still needs further development and research.

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 111575802 A discloses a Calotropis gigantea fiber microwave extraction device that can realize continuous and dynamic transportation of Calotropis gigantea fruits. The fruits are exploded from the inside through microwave technology to complete fruit opening, and then more pure fiber collection is achieved through multi-stage filtration. However, in terms of raw material selection, the above device can only select Calotropis gigantea fruits with a relatively large water content. If the Calotropis gigantea fruits have been stored for a long time or are already dry, due to water loss, the microwave heating effect becomes poor, the fruit opening efficiency becomes low, and the separation and collection of fiber cannot be smoothly achieved.

[0005] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 203393269 U discloses a Calotropis gigantea fiber separation device, which includes a shell-breaking machine part. The Calotropis gigantea fruits are dried at the front end and then transported to the shell-breaking machine, and the shell is broken through the interaction of the shell-breaking main shaft and the shell-breaking claws of the shell-breaking machine. This design can only break the fruit shell without cutting the Calotropis gigantea fiber and can achieve the purpose of removing the fruit shell. However, in the above device, the Calotropis gigantea fruits must be dried at the front end before shell-breaking can be achieved, and the efficiency is not high. Moreover, repeated mechanical action in the shell-breaking cylinder is required to achieve skin removal, which will cause damage to the fiber and is not beneficial to the subsequent products.

[0006] The Chinese patent publication number is CN 110295425 A, and the disclosed Chinese home textile calotropis gigantea fiber blended fabric includes an impurity removal part of calotropis gigantea fiber. The mixture of calotropis gigantea pulp, seeds and fibers is beaten by a plate beater and loosened by the saw teeth on the plate beater, greatly reducing the adhesion degree of the mixture. Then, air flow stratification impurity removal is carried out to realize the separation of calotropis gigantea fiber. However, in the above equipment, the mixture of calotropis gigantea pulp, seeds and fibers is loosened mechanically, which will continuously pull and squeeze the fibers, causing damage; and if air-dried calotropis gigantea raw materials are used, the brittle shell fragments will cause further damage to the fibers.

[0007] The unique structure of the calotropis gigantea fruit makes it very difficult to separate the capsules, seeds and fibers, especially how to remove the capsule shells that have a great impact on the purity rate and damage the fibers.

[0008] Therefore, to solve the above problems, it is necessary to develop a calotropis gigantea fruit shell separation device. Summary of the Invention

[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , as Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a loofah fruit shell separation device, including: a feeding bin 1, a feeding door 2, a conveying component B, and a processing component A. The feeding door 2 is arranged in the feeding bin 1. The conveying component B is inclined and arranged on one side of the feeding bin 1. The conveying component B is communicated with the bottom of the feeding bin 1 through the opening and closing of the feeding door 2. The processing component A is arranged on the side of the conveying component B away from the feeding bin 1.

[0045] The feeding bin 1 is arranged on the left side of the conveying assembly B and is connected to the lowest point of the conveying assembly B. The conveying assembly B is arranged obliquely upward, and the right side is connected to the rotary machine base 4. The rotational speed of the first central rotary machine 3 is 1 - 10 r / min. Inside the feeding bin 1, there is a feeding door 2 which can open or close automatically to prevent excessive feeding from causing the stacking of Calotropis gigantea on the conveying assembly B.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 11 , as Figure 11 shown, the conveying assembly B includes a conveying rotary machine 22. The conveying rotary machine 22 is fixedly arranged obliquely between the feeding bin 1 and the processing assembly A. The conveying rotary machine 22 is arranged obliquely upward from the feeding bin 1 towards the processing assembly A. Inside the conveying rotary machine 22, there are a plurality of dumbbell-shaped spacer rods 23, and the distance between adjacent two dumbbell-shaped spacer rods 23 is equal. On the conveying rotary machine 22, there is also a height blocking device 24, and the height blocking device 24 is in the shape of a bottom-opening frame.

[0047] The height blocking device 24 is connected to the outside of the conveying rotary machine 22, and its height can be set to 2 - 6 cm, which plays a role in blocking the stacked Calotropis gigantea during conveying. Inside, it is connected with dumbbell-shaped spacer rods 23, and there are gaps between adjacent rods. The width of the gaps can be set to 20 - 40 mm, and the Calotropis gigantea can slide into the gaps from the feeding bin 1 for conveying, playing a role in directional transportation and uniform conveying. The rotational speed of the conveying rotary machine 22 is 1 - 10 r / min and is consistent with the rotational speed of the first central rotary machine 3.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and in combination with Figure 4 , as Figure 1 and 4 shown, the processing assembly A includes a first central rotary machine 3. The bottom of the first central rotary machine 3 is fixed with a rotary machine base 4. At the bottom of the rotary machine base 4, a waste and impurity collection bin one 5, a waste and impurity collection bin two 6, and a product collection bin one 7 are fixedly arranged in sequence.

The waste and impurity collection bin one 5, the waste and impurity collection bin two 6, and the product collection bin one 7 are arranged in sequence clockwise.

[0050] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and in combination with Figure 2 and 3 , as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the processing component further includes two sets of first moving devices 91, which are fixed on the first central rotating machine 3. One side of each set of the first moving devices 91 is fixed with a first control rod 81, and an arc-shaped cutter 101 is installed at the end of the first control rod 81 away from the first moving device 91. Two tilting devices 11 are fixed on the top of the rotating machine base 4. The top of the tilting device 11 is fixed with a support rod 12, and a tray 13 is installed on the top of the support rod 12. A finishing cutting structure is fixed on the first central rotating machine 3 above the tray 13. A fifth moving device 19 is fixed on one side of the first central rotating machine 3. A fifth control rod 20 is installed on one side of the fifth moving device 19, and a first clamping device 21 is fixed at the other end of the fifth control rod 20. The finishing cutting structure includes a second moving device 14. A second control rod 15 is installed on one side of the second moving device 14, and a pressure sensor 16 is fixed at the other end of the second control rod 15. A fourth control rod 17 is also installed on one side of the second moving device 14, and a sheet cutter 18 is fixed at the other end of the fourth control rod 17.

[0051] The first moving device 91 is connected to the first central rotating machine 3. One end of the first control rod 81 is connected to the first moving device 91, and the other end is connected to the arc-shaped cutter 101. The first control rod 81, the first moving device 91, and the arc-shaped cutter 101 form an arc-shaped cutter structure. The arc-shaped cutter structures are arranged symmetrically up and down in two groups and can move up and down through the gap in the middle of the tray 13 driven by the moving device; the tilting device 11 is connected to the rotating machine base 4. The lower end of the support rod 12 is connected to the tilting device 11, and the upper end is connected to the tray 13. The tray 13 is concave upward, and there is a gap between the two trays 13. The arc-shaped cutter structure can move up and down through the gap in the tray 13; the tilting device 11 can control the tray 13 to tilt outward from the rotating machine base 4; the second moving device 14 is connected to the first central rotating machine 3. One end of the second control rod 15 is connected to the second moving device 14, and the other end is connected to the pressure sensor 16; one end of the fourth control rod 17 is connected to the second moving device 14, and the other end is connected to the sheet cutter 18. The second moving device 14 can drive the pressure sensor 16 and the sheet cutter 18 to move. The second moving device 14, the second control rod 15, the pressure sensor 16, the fourth control rod 17, and the sheet cutter 18 form a finishing cutting structure; the fifth moving device 19 is connected to the first central rotating machine 3. One end of the fifth control rod 20 is connected to the fifth moving device 19, and the other end is connected to the first clamping device 21. The fifth moving device 19 can drive the first clamping device 21 to move up and down. The fifth moving device 19, the fifth control rod 20, and the first clamping device 21 form a clamping structure; there are two finishing cutting structures and clamping structures symmetrically arranged in a processing component A, located on both sides of the tray 13.

[0052] The specific workflow described above is as follows: First, turn on the first central rotating machine 3 and the transfer rotating machine 22, set the rotation speeds of both to be the same, open the feed door 2, and fill the Calotropis gigantea fruits to be processed into the feed bin 1 through the feed bin. The Calotropis gigantea fruits are transported and evenly conveyed in a stacked manner along the conveying component B, and the Calotropis gigantea fruits in a stacked state are blocked by the height blocking device 24; since the rotation speeds of the first central rotating machine 3 and the transfer rotating machine 22 are kept consistent, when the Calotropis gigantea fruits move to the top above the transfer rotating machine 22 and are about to slide down, the tray 13 is exactly located below the Calotropis gigantea fruits, and the Calotropis gigantea fruits roll into the tray 13. Since the upper part of the tray 13 is concave, the Calotropis gigantea fruits will automatically reach the lowest point of the depression due to the action of gravity. The symmetrically arranged first clamping device 21 moves downward to clamp the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind and shell, achieving the purpose of fixing the Calotropis gigantea fruits. Since the Calotropis gigantea seed-fiber aggregate is distributed in the center of the fruit and is in an elongated ellipsoidal shape, the set clamping force will only damage the shell, but will not touch the seed-fiber aggregate. The pressure sensor 16 and the symmetrically arranged sheet cutter 18 move inward synchronously. After the pressure sensor 16 contacts the head and tail ends of the Calotropis gigantea fruits, it stops moving. The symmetrically arranged sheet cutter 18 makes a cutting movement to cut off the connection between the head and tail of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind and shell and the seed-fiber aggregate. The waste shell materials at both ends slide into the first waste collection bin 5 along the inclined wall of the first waste collection bin 5. The distance between the pressure sensor 16 and the symmetrically arranged sheet cutter 18 is adjustable to ensure that the sheet cutter 18 only cuts off the connection between the shell and the seed-fiber aggregate, but does not cut off the fibers. The symmetrically arranged arc cutter 101 cuts inward to make a circular incision in the middle of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind. Due to the above-mentioned distribution characteristics of the Calotropis gigantea seed-fiber aggregate, the set depth of the circular incision can only damage the shell, but does not touch the seed-fiber aggregate. The arc cutter 101 opens, and the symmetrically arranged first clamping device 21 moves to both sides. Each clamping device carries half of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind and shell. After moving beyond the tray 13, it disengages from the clamping and freely falls, and slides into the second waste collection bin 6 along the inclined wall of the second waste collection bin 6. The tray 13 tilts outward from the first central rotating machine 3 through the tilting device 11, and the seed-fiber aggregate staying on the tray slides into the first product collection bin 7 along the inclined wall of the first product collection bin 7. After each working unit completes a set of work processes, it automatically resets and waits for the next set of work.

[0062] The specific workflow described above is as follows: First, turn on the first central rotating machine 3 and the conveying rotating machine 22, set their rotation speeds to be the same, open the feeding door 2, and fill the Calotropis gigantea fruits to be processed into the feeding bin 1 through the feeding bin. The Calotropis gigantea fruits are transported and evenly conveyed in a stacked manner along the conveying component B, and the Calotropis gigantea fruits in a stacked state are blocked by the height blocking device 24. Since the rotation speeds of the first central rotating machine 3 and the conveying rotating machine 21 are kept consistent, when the Calotropis gigantea fruits move to the end of the conveyor and slide downwards, the suction cup 27 is exactly located on the right side of the Calotropis gigantea fruit, the suction hole 28 sucks air inward, and the Calotropis gigantea fruit is tightly sucked and waits for the next step of processing. Due to the special shape of the conveying component B and the suction cup 28, the thickest part of the waist of the Calotropis gigantea fruit will be located on the axis of the cantilever base 251. The symmetrically arranged pressure sensors 16 and the sheet cutters 18 move inward synchronously. The pressure sensors 16 stop moving after contacting the head and tail ends of the Calotropis gigantea fruit. The symmetrically arranged sheet cutters 18 perform a cutting motion to cut off the connection between the head and tail of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind and the seed-fiber aggregate. Since the Calotropis gigantea seed-fiber aggregate is distributed in the center of the fruit and is in an elongated ellipsoidal shape, the distance between the pressure sensors 16 and the sheet cutters 18 is set to an adjustable and determined value to ensure that the sheet cutters 18 only cut off the connection between the capsule shell and the seed-fiber aggregate, but do not cut off the fibers. The waste rind at both ends slides along the inclined wall of the waste collection bin 5 into the waste collection bin 5 due to gravity. The annular cutter 10 cuts inward to create a circular incision in the middle of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind. Due to the above-mentioned distribution characteristics of the Calotropis gigantea seed-fiber aggregate, the set depth of the circular incision can only damage the capsule shell, but does not touch the seed-fiber aggregate. The annular cutter 10 opens, and the symmetrically arranged suction cups 27 move to both sides. Each suction cup 27 carries half of the Calotropis gigantea fruit rind, and the seed-fiber aggregate then slides along the inclined wall of the product collection bin 7 into the product collection bin 7 due to gravity. After the suction cup 27 moves to the set position, the suction hole 27 stops sucking air, and the carried capsule shell then slides along the inclined wall of the waste collection bin 6 into the waste collection bin 6 due to gravity. After each working unit completes a set of work processes, it automatically resets and waits for the next set of work.

[0063] Embodiment 3

[0064] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 , as Figure 8 shown, the present invention provides a Calotropis gigantea fruit shell separation device, including: a feeding bin 1, a feeding door 2, a conveying component B, and a processing component A. The feeding door 2 is arranged in the feeding bin 1. The conveying component B is inclined and arranged on one side of the feeding bin 1. The conveying component B is communicated with the bottom of the feeding bin 1 through the opening and closing of the feeding door 2. The processing component A is arranged on the side of the conveying component B away from the feeding bin 1.

[0065] The feed bin 1 is arranged on the left side of the conveying component B and is connected to the lowest point of the conveying component B. The conveying component B is arranged obliquely upward and is connected to the fruit clamping device 33 on the right side. An inlet door 2 is arranged inside the feed bin 1, which can be opened or closed automatically to prevent excessive feeding from causing Calotropis gigantea stacking on the conveying component B.

[0066] Please continue to refer to Figure 11 , as Figure 11 shown, the conveying component B includes a conveying rotating machine 22. The conveying rotating machine 22 is obliquely fixed between the feed bin 1 and the processing component A. The conveying rotating machine 22 is arranged obliquely upward from the direction of the feed bin 1 to the direction of the processing component A. A plurality of dumbbell-shaped spacer rods 23 are arranged inside the conveying rotating machine 22, and the distances between adjacent two of the dumbbell-shaped spacer rods 23 are equal. A height blocking device 24 is also arranged on the conveying rotating machine 22, and the height blocking device 24 is in a shape of a bottom-opening frame.

[0067] A height blocking device 24 is connected to the outside of the conveying component B, and the height can be set to 2 - 6 cm, which plays a role in blocking the Calotropis gigantea conveyed in a stacked state. A dumbbell-shaped spacer rod 23 is connected to the inside, and there is a gap between adjacent rods. The width of the gap can be set to 20 - 40 mm, and the Calotropis gigantea can slide into the gap from the feed bin 1 for conveying, playing a role in directional transportation and uniform conveying. The rotational speed of the central rotating machine 40 of the conveying component B is the same as that of the processing component A.

[0068] Please refer to and continue to refer to Figure 8 and in combination with Figure 9 and 10 . As Figures 8 to 10 shown, the processing component includes a third central rotating machine 39. A waste collection bin three 32 and a product collection bin three 41 are sequentially arranged below the third central rotating machine 39. Hydraulic connecting rods one 40 are fixed at both ends on both sides of the top of the third central rotating machine 39. A double-sided blade 29 is installed between the two hydraulic connecting rods one 40. The double-sided blade 29 is arranged on both sides of the top of the third central rotating machine 39. A central blade 30 is installed between the two double-sided blades 29. A plurality of triangular blockers 34 are fixed on the top of the third central rotating machine 39. A fruit clamping device 33 is installed on the third central rotating machine 39 on one side of the triangular blocker 34. A photoelectric sensor 31, a controller 42 and a sorting device C are fixed at one end of the third central rotating machine 39 away from the feed bin 1. The sorting device C includes a variable slide rail 36. Two groups of hydraulic connecting rods two 37 are fixed at the bottom of the variable slide rail 36. A second clamping device 38 is fixed at the bottom of the hydraulic connecting rods two 37.

[0069] The specific workflow described above is as follows: First, turn on the third central transfer machine 39 and the conveyor transfer machine 22, set the rotation speeds of both to be the same, open the feed door 2, and fill the calotropis fruits to be processed into the feed bin 1 through the feed bin. The calotropis fruits are transported and evenly conveyed in a stacked manner along the conveying component B, and the calotropis fruits in a stacked state are blocked by the height blocking device 24. Since the rotation speeds of the third central transfer machine 39 and the conveyor transfer machine 22 are kept consistent, when the calotropis fruits move to the top above the conveyor transfer machine 22 and are about to slide down, the fruit clamping device 33 is exactly located below the calotropis fruits, and the calotropis fruits roll into the fruit clamping device 33. Since the fruit clamping device 33 is in a semi-circular depression, the calotropis fruits will automatically reach the lowest point of the depression due to the action of gravity. With the operation of the third central transfer machine 39, the calotropis fruits move forward under the restriction of the fruit clamping device 33. Due to the triangular blockers 34 distributed at intervals, the calotropis fruits will roll back and forth in the fruit clamping device 33. At this time, due to the action of the central blade 30 located in the middle, a slit will be cut in the middle of the calotropis fruit skin. When the first calotropis fruit moves forward to the photoelectric sensor 31, the photoelectric sensor 31 close to the fruit clamping device 33 is triggered by the protruding ends of the calotropis fruit. At this time, the controller 42 receives the signal from the photoelectric sensor 31 and makes the hydraulic link 40 drive the two side blades 29 to quickly drop, so that the two ends of the calotropis fruit are quickly cut off. Then, the two side blades 29 are lifted until the next group of calotropis fruits with uncut ends trigger the photoelectric sensor 31 for the next group of cutting. The cut calotropis fruits enter the sorting device C. The hydraulic link 37 extends downward under the control of the controller, and at the same time, the second clamping device 38 tightens to clamp the cut calotropis fruits. At this time, the hydraulic link 37 retracts, and at the same time, the two hydraulic links 37 move in the opposite direction simultaneously under the action of the variable slide rail 36, so that the calotropis fruit shell is separated from the seed-fiber aggregate. The calotropis seed-fiber aggregate falls into the product collection bin 41. Subsequently, the second clamping device 38 opens, and the remaining calotropis fruit rind on the second clamping device 38 will fall into the waste collection bin 32 under the action of gravity along with the conveying component B. After the sorting unit completes a set of processes, it resets and performs the next set of operations.

[0070] The present invention also provides a working method using the calotropis fruit shell separation device as described above. The method includes: opening the feed door 2 to feed the conveying device, and the conveying device transports the calotropis fruits into the processing component, and the processing component separates the skin, seeds, and vesicles of the calotropis fruits.

[0071] Those of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand that one of the features or purposes of the present invention is applicable to removing the pericarp of Calotropis gigantea with different sizes and shapes. After the Calotropis gigantea is positioned, the annular cutter structure cuts the pericarp from the middle position of the Calotropis gigantea, and the blade configuration will not touch the seed-fiber aggregate in the center of the fruit. Then, the sheet cutter 18 cuts off the head and tail ends of the pericarp of the Calotropis gigantea, disconnecting the connection between the seed-fiber aggregate and the pericarp, realizing the separation of the pericarp of the Calotropis gigantea, facilitating subsequent storage and transportation, avoiding fruit extrusion damage and mildew caused by improper storage, and at the same time removing the pericarp for subsequent fiber extraction and purification processes. After separating the seeds and fibers, Calotropis gigantea fiber can be obtained, which can improve the fiber purity and produce higher-quality Calotropis gigantea fiber products.

[0072] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered by the scope of the claims of the present invention.
