[0034] As Figures 1 to 8As shown, the output end of the feeding elevator 48 is located above the material handling mechanism 2, which is located at one end of the mounting frame 1. A seed steaming mechanism 4 is provided at intervals below the output end of the material handling mechanism 2. Seed transfer mechanisms 3 are slidably provided above both ends of the seed steaming mechanism 4. The seed transfer mechanisms 3 are slidably installed on the top of the mounting frame 1. A pressing and turning mechanism 5 is adapted to be installed at the output end of the seed steaming mechanism 4. A transport processing mechanism 6 is provided below the pressing and turning mechanism 5. The transport processing mechanism 6 runs in the opposite direction to the seed steaming mechanism 4.

[0035] The material handling mechanism 2 includes a hopper 40, material handling guide rails 41, a linear vibrator 42, and a return conveyor belt 43. The hopper 40 is fixed at one end of the mounting frame 1. A material handling motor 45 is provided on one side of the hopper 40. The material handling motor 45 drives the material handling roller 44 to move, so that the material is evenly fed into the hopper 40. The output end of the hopper 40 is provided with two-stage extended material handling guide rails 41. A linear vibrator 42 is adapted to be installed at the lower end of the material handling guide rails 41. A return conveyor belt 43 is provided between the material handling guide rails 41. The return conveyor belt 43 is used to receive the areca nuts falling between the two sets of material handling guide rails 41 and return them to the external collection basket, so that the material can be manually fed into the hopper 40.

[0036] The seed transfer mechanism 3 is used to vacuum suck and transfer areca nuts. Specifically, the seed transfer mechanism 3 includes an X-axis module 31, a seed transfer crossbar 32, a Z-axis module 33, a gas collecting block 35, and a suction nozzle assembly 34. The X-axis module 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1. The seed transfer crossbar 32 is slidably connected to the X-axis module 31. The Z-axis module 33 is adapted to be mounted on the seed transfer crossbar 32. The gas collecting block 35 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the Z-axis module 33. To improve the stability of the seed transfer mechanism 3, a diagonally supporting fixing member 36 is fixedly mounted between the Z-axis module 33 and the gas collecting block 35. The upper and lower ends of the gas collecting block 35 are respectively equipped with a connectable vacuum generator 46 and multiple suction nozzle assemblies 34 for vacuum sucking of areca nuts.

[0037] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, the steaming mechanism 4 comprises a steaming motor 60, an upper plate chain set 49, steaming trays 50, a steam inlet pipeline set 51 and a steam exhaust fan 54. The output end of the steaming motor 60 is connected to the upper plate chain set 49.

The bottom of each steaming tray 50 is provided with a plurality of through holes 52. The inner side of the upper plate chain set 49 is provided with the steam inlet pipeline set 51. A plurality of steam holes 53 are uniformly formed in the steam inlet pipeline set 51. The upper end of the mounting frame 1 is provided with the steam exhaust fan 54, which is arranged above the upper plate chain set 49. The through holes 52 in the bottom of the steaming tray 50 can absorb the steam sprayed by the steam inlet pipeline set 51. The upper plate chain set 49 is also provided with corresponding holes, which can uniformly soften the areca nuts in each independent steaming groove 55. The excess steam can be extracted by the steam exhaust fan 54, so that too much steam is not left on the areca nuts. The overall structure is simple and convenient to use. When the areca nuts are transported from right to left, they are transported to the left end of the upper plate chain set 49. At this time, the left steaming mechanism 3 can suck the areca nuts in the steaming groove 55 and transfer them to the pressing and overturning mechanism 5.

[0038] A group of steaming trays 50 is provided with five steaming grooves 55. The through holes 52 all penetrate the bottom of the steaming groove 55. The depth of the steaming groove 55 is 3-6 cm, which is convenient for accommodating the areca nuts and preventing the areca nuts from running out of the steaming groove 55. The diameter of the steam hole 53 is smaller than that of the through hole 52. The number of steam holes 53 is greater than that of through holes 52. In this way, when the steam is discharged from the steam inlet pipeline set 51, it can more uniformly and carefully enter the steaming groove 55 through the through hole 52. The output end of the steaming motor 60 is in transmission connection with one of the rotating shafts 56. The two rotating shafts 56 are both provided with tension bearings 57. The inner side of the tension bearing 57 is provided with a sprocket 58. The end of the upper plate chain set 49 is provided with a circulating chain 59, which is engaged with the sprocket 58. One steaming motor 60 can drive the movement of the entire upper plate chain set 49, which is convenient and efficient. Figure 9 As shown, in order to clearly see the sprocket 58 in the figure, Figure 9 The end of the circulating chain 59 is not completely closed. In actual use, the circulating chain 59 is closed around the two sprockets 58.

[0039] The pressing and overturning mechanism 5 comprises a fixed plate 7, a pressing cylinder 8, a buffer pad 9, a linear guide rail 10, a overturning connecting piece 11, an overturning cylinder 12, an overturning support 13 and a bearing 14. The fixed plate 7 is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1. A plurality of pressing cylinders 8 are uniformly arranged on the upper end of the fixed plate 7. The output end of the pressing cylinder 8 penetrates the fixed plate 7 and is connected to the buffer pad 9. The lower end of the fixed plate 7 is fixedly provided with the linear guide rail 10. The overturning connecting piece 11 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 10. One side of the overturning connecting piece 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the overturning cylinder 12. A plurality of overturning supports 13 are uniformly arranged on the lower end of the overturning connecting piece 11. The inner side of the lower end of the overturning support 13 is provided with the bearing 14. The bearing 14 is not in contact with the buffer pad 9.

[0040] The number of bearings 14, cushion pads 9 and turnover supports 13 is equal, and specifically, as can be seen from the drawings, the number of bearings 14, cushion pads 9 and turnover supports 13 is equal to the number of a row of compression mold assemblies 16 arranged longitudinally, and the number of a row of compression mold assemblies 16 arranged longitudinally on the lower plate chain set 15 is consistent with the number of blocking plates 28 arranged on the mold opening assembly 17.

[0041] The transport processing mechanism 6 includes a lower plate chain set 15, a compression mold assembly 16 and a mold opening assembly 17, the lower plate chain set 15 is arranged in the middle of the mounting frame 1, the lower plate chain set 15 is driven to move by a lower motor 47, and a plurality of compression mold assemblies 16 are uniformly arranged on the outer surface of the lower plate chain set 15; a heating assembly 18 and a cooling assembly 19 are respectively arranged on the inner side of the lower plate chain set 15, in this embodiment, the heating assembly 18 and the cooling assembly 19 are common heating or cooling devices such as electromagnetic heating devices and circulating fans in the prior art, and the present application does not improve them, so this assembly is not described in detail; the mold opening assembly 17 is fixed on one side of the lower end of the mounting frame 1, and the upper end of the mold opening assembly 17 is in contact with and opens the compression mold assembly 16.

[0042] The compression mold assembly 16 includes a lower mold 20, an upper mold 21, a rotating shaft 22, a torsion spring 23, a clamping block 24, a clamping shaft 25 and a clamping buckle 26, the outer surface of the lower plate chain set 15 is detachably fixedly connected with the bottom of the lower mold 20, one side of the upper end of the lower mold 20 is rotatably connected with one side of the upper mold 21 through the rotating shaft 22 and the torsion spring 23, the other side of the upper mold 21 is fixedly provided with the clamping block 24, the other side of the lower mold 20 is rotatably connected with the clamping buckle 26 through the clamping shaft 25, the clamping buckle 26 is connected with the clamping block 24 in a clamping manner, and an independent betel nut accommodating cavity is formed in the inside of the upper mold 21 and the lower mold 20 when they are clamped.

[0043] The mold opening assembly 17 includes an intercepting rod 27, a blocking plate 28, an adjusting plate 29 and an adjusting block 30, the intercepting rod 27 is vertically fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 1, the blocking plate 28 is arranged on the upper end of the intercepting rod 27, the adjusting plate 29 and the adjusting block 30 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the blocking plate 28, so as to avoid that the blocking plate 28 swings too much forwardly or rearwardly and affects the mold opening effect; the upper end of the blocking plate 28 can abut against the upper end of the clamping buckle 26 and rotate the clamping buckle 26.

[0044] Since the opening direction of the molding assembly 16 is unidirectional, when the flipping cylinder 12 retracts, it simultaneously drives the flipping bracket 13 to retract. At this time, the bearing 14 is not in contact with the upper mold 21. After the betel nut is put into the lower mold 20, the flipping cylinder 12 extends, and the flipping bracket 13 and the bearing 14 move forward along the path of the linear guide rail 10. The bearing 14 will gradually move to the edge of the upper mold 21 and push the upper mold 21 so that the upper mold 21 rotates around the rotating shaft 22 and tends to close downward. Then the pressing cylinder 8 continues to extend, and the buffer pad 9 will directly press the upper mold 21 in the vertical direction, so that the upper mold 21 can be smoothly snapped into the buckle 26, and the betel nut falls steadily into the betel nut receiving cavity.

[0045] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0046] Areca nuts are transported by the feeding elevator 48 into the hopper 40 of the feeding mechanism 2 and fall onto the feeding roller 44. The feeding roller 44 has multiple grooves, and the areca nuts fall into the grooves. The feeding motor 45 rotates and drives the feeding roller 44, and the areca nuts fall into the feeding guide rail 41. The linear vibrator 42 at the bottom transports the areca nuts forward, and excess areca nuts are sent back by the return conveyor belt.

[0047] The seed transfer mechanism 3 on the right side vacuum sucks up the areca nuts in the material handling guide rail 41 and transfers them to the seed steaming mechanism 4;

[0048] Steam is sprayed from the steaming holes 53 on the steaming mechanism 4 into the steaming trough 55, and then directly onto the areca nuts to soften them. Excess steam is extracted by the exhaust fan 54. The softened areca nuts are then transported to the seed transfer mechanism 3 on the left side. The seed transfer mechanism 3 vacuum-suctions the softened areca nuts and transfers them into the lower mold 20 on the open pressing assembly 16.

[0049] The lower mold 20 is detachably fixed on the lower plate chain assembly 15. Driven by the lower motor 47, it moves forward to the position of the pressing and flipping mechanism 5. The flipping cylinder 12 extends, and the flipping bracket 13 and bearing 14 move forward along the path of the linear guide rail 10. The bearing 14 will gradually move to the edge of the upper mold 21 and push the upper mold 21 so that the upper mold 21 rotates around the rotating shaft 22 and tends to close downward. Then the pressing cylinder 8 continues to extend, and the buffer pad 9 will directly press the upper mold 21 in the vertical direction, so that the upper mold 21 can be smoothly snapped into the buckle 26, and the areca nut falls steadily into the areca nut receiving cavity.

[0050] The lower plate chain assembly 15 rotates clockwise, and the pressing mold assembly 16 moves to the right and forward to the upper end of the heating assembly 18 for electromagnetic heating, and then continues to move forward to the cooling assembly 19 to cool the areca nut inside the pressing mold assembly 16.

[0051] The cooled areca nut in the compression mold assembly 16 is guided to the lower end of the rotating plate chain group 15, and when passing through the mold opening assembly 17, the upper end of the buckle 26 will abut against the upper end of the blocking plate 28 and be pushed away, the torsion spring 23 opens the upper mold 21 to the maximum angle, and the areca nut after being pressed is smoothly dropped into the lower storage basket not shown in the figure.

[0052] The present application realizes full-automatic transportation and delivery of the pressed areca nut through the cooperation of the material sorting mechanism 2, the seed moving mechanism 3, the steaming seed mechanism 4, the compression and overturning mechanism 5 and the transportation and processing mechanism 6. One device can meet the continuous transportation of the pressed areca nut, improve the production efficiency of the pressed areca nut, and effectively shorten the working time of the existing pressed areca nut due to the cooperation of the compression and overturning mechanism 5 and the transportation and processing mechanism 6. Since the compression mold assembly 16 is uniformly arranged and consistent, the appearance of the pressed areca nut can also be consistent, and the quality of the areca nut product is improved.

[0053] The compression mold assembly 16 is detachable, facilitating maintenance when a fault occurs, and the entire production process of the pressed areca nut does not directly contact the areca nut, thereby improving the hygiene effect of the areca nut production and reducing the labor cost of the enterprise; the entire transportation process of the areca nut is smooth, and the discharge of the pressed areca nut is also very convenient, and it is worth popularizing and using.

[0054] The present application can accurately control the steam temperature when steaming the seeds and improve the production efficiency of the steamed seeds.

[0055] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
