Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of technology, specifically to an automated pecan sorting and shelling production line. Background Technology

[0002] Pecans, also known as American hickory nuts, are a type of nut with an olive-shaped fruit, abundant flesh, and a delicious flavor. Pecans are rich in protein, carotene, vitamins, fats, and various trace elements. With their high nutritional value and wide range of applications, pecans can be eaten directly or used in the pharmaceutical field. Market demand is continuously increasing, and the industry has enormous development potential.

[0003] In existing pecan production processes, pecans are first fed into a screening drum to remove most of the shells. They then pass through a visual sorting device to remove pecans still attached to their shells. Cracked pecans are then manually removed, followed by drying. After drying, the pecans undergo a shelling process: first, they are soaked in cold water for 6-8 hours, then boiled and cooled to make the shells brittle. The shells are then tapped and poured into a vibrating screen to separate the pulp. Lighter shells are then blown away by a blower. Finally, large shell fragments are manually removed, and the remaining pecans fall into a collection device.

[0004] Therefore, the pecan production process involves a large number of manual sorting steps. In addition, pecans are not only used for kernel extraction, but sometimes whole premium fruits are also needed. As shown in the patent with publication number CN107212430A, the automated production process is only implemented for the kernel extraction step, but there are still manual screening steps in the upstream and downstream. It is also difficult to flexibly adjust according to actual production needs. At the same time, the production process is simple and can only be used for kernel extraction, which is difficult to meet the flexible needs of actual pecan production.

[0005] Therefore, in order to achieve more convenient and faster pecan sorting, an automatic pecan sorting and shelling production line is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0074] It also includes a material feeder, the feeding feeder 47, which is used to transport materials from the outside to the high-quality fruit elevator 46.

[0075] This eliminates the need for manual handling, enabling continuous automated production.

[0076] The shell-breaking machine 7 is an air-impact shell-breaking machine 7, so this line is a dry-peeling production line, which does not require soaking the raw fruit and does not produce wastewater, making it green and environmentally friendly.

[0077] It also includes a raw fruit feeder 1, which is used to transport the initial fruit to the raw fruit elevator 11. The raw fruit elevator 11 is used to transport the received initial fruit to the vibrating cloth 2. The vibrating cloth 2 is provided with a cleaning port 21 at its outlet. The X-ray foreign object sorting machine 3 receives the first raw fruit output by the vibrating cloth 2. The initial fruit includes leaves, bark, empty fruit, peel, green peel fruit, shriveled fruit, cracked fruit, damaged fruit and good fruit. The first raw fruit after cleaning mainly contains green peel fruit, shriveled fruit, cracked fruit, damaged fruit and good fruit.

[0078] It also includes a negative pressure shelling and dust removal device 8, a negative pressure dust removal pipeline 81, a negative pressure shelling pipeline 82, and a fruit shell conveyor 83, wherein:

[0079] The nut shell conveyor 83 receives the solid material separated from the impurity removal port 21 of the negative pressure shelling and dust removal equipment 8. The impurity removal port 21 and the AI ​​vision sorting machine 4 are both connected to the negative pressure dust removal pipe 81, which is connected to the negative pressure shelling and dust removal equipment 8. The grading screen 73 is connected to the negative pressure shelling pipe 82, which is connected to the negative pressure shelling and dust removal equipment 8.

[0080] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the initial fruit is put into the raw fruit feeder 1, the raw fruit feeder 1 evenly supplies the material to the raw fruit elevator 11, the raw fruit elevator 11 lifts the material to the vibrating cloth 2, and a cleaning port 21 is provided at the outlet of the vibrating cloth 2. Leaves, bark, empty fruit and fruit peel are separated from the cleaning port 21 under the action of the negative pressure shelling and dust removal equipment 8, and collected to the fruit shell conveyor 83 through the negative pressure dust removal pipe 81.

[0081] The first batch of raw fruit after impurity removal mainly contains green-skinned fruit, shrunken fruit, cracked fruit, damaged fruit and good fruit. After these materials enter the X-ray foreign object sorting machine 3, the shrunken fruit is separated and enters the mixed fruit silo 54 via shrunken fruit conveyor 1 31, shrunken fruit conveyor 2 51, shrunken fruit conveyor 3 52, and mixed fruit elevator 1 53.

[0082] Green-skinned fruits, cracked fruits, damaged fruits, and good fruits from the X-ray foreign object sorting machine 3 enter the AI ​​vision sorting machine 4. The green-skinned fruits are separated separately, and the cracked and damaged fruits are lifted to the mixed fruit hopper 54 by the mixed fruit elevator 53.

[0083] Under the action of AI vision sorting machine 4, the good fruit is sorted into three grades of premium fruit, namely premium fruit one, premium fruit two, and premium fruit three. The outlets for the three grades of premium fruit can be changed through the program settings of AI vision sorting machine 4. Premium fruit that needs to be peeled enters premium fruit bin three 45. Premium fruit that does not need to be peeled is lifted by premium fruit elevator one 41 and premium fruit elevator two to premium fruit bin one 42 and premium fruit bin two, respectively. Premium fruit conveyor 43 is installed below premium fruit bin one 42 and premium fruit bin two, respectively. Premium fruit flows out from below the premium fruit bin to premium fruit conveyor 43, and then can be packaged.

[0084] Below the mixed fruit hopper 54 and the premium fruit hopper 3 45, there are feeders 6. The feeders under the mixed fruit hopper 54 will evenly supply shrunken, cracked and broken fruits to the mixed fruit elevator 2 55, and then they will enter the mixed fruit buffer hopper 56 and the air-impact sheller 7 for shelling.

[0085] The feeder 6 below the premium fruit hopper 3 45 evenly supplies the premium fruit that needs to be shelled to the premium fruit elevator 4 46, and then sequentially enters the premium fruit buffer hopper 48 and the air-impact sheller 7 for shelling.

[0086] After the shells are broken, the material is lifted by the shell-breaking fruit elevator 71 to the kernel separator 72. The kernel separator 72 separates the connected kernels from the shells. The separated kernel and shell mixture enters the grading screen 73. The shells at the grading screen 73 are separated by the negative pressure shelling and dust removal equipment 8 through the negative pressure shelling pipeline 82 and collected to the shell conveyor 83.

[0087] Under the action of the grading sieve 73, the broken pieces and nuts are separated.

[0088] The kernels enter the infrared light sorting machine 75, which separates the good kernels from the bad kernels.

[0089] The feeding device 47 can separately supply the fruits that need to be peeled to the premium fruit elevator 46, and lift them to the premium fruit buffer bin 48 to enter the shelling stage.

[0090] The mixed fruit buffer bin 56 and the premium fruit buffer bin 48 are respectively equipped with adjustment ports, which can be used to switch the materials in the buffer bins to enter the shelling or packaging process.

[0091] This line processes the fruit from raw fruit to kernel in one go, with no human intervention in the sorting and shelling processes.

[0092] The output of premium fruit can be adjusted through the program of AI vision sorting machine 4. Premium fruit that needs to be shelled enters premium fruit bin 3 45, while premium fruit that does not need to be shelled is lifted by premium fruit elevator 1 41 and premium fruit elevator 2 to premium fruit bin 1 42 and premium fruit bin 2, respectively, as well as a reserved spare port. The grade of premium fruit can be flexibly set, and the proportion of premium fruit participating in shelling can also be adjusted. The output object of premium fruit conveyor 43 can be changed. The material can be output to the feeding feeder 47 through adjustment, so shelling can be performed with simple adjustment. Shelling and packaging can be flexibly switched.

[0093] The entire production line and the individual peeling line can operate independently. This line is a dry peeling production line, which does not require soaking the raw fruit and does not generate wastewater, making it green and environmentally friendly.

[0094] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
