Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to food production equipment, and more specifically, to a dedicated production apparatus for torreya nut biscuits. Background Technology

[0002] Torreya biscuits are a type of pastry that combines torreya nuts with biscuits. They are similar to common almond biscuits, but the almond pieces embedded on the top of the biscuit are replaced with torreya nut pieces.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN110122528A discloses a method for making Torreya grandis and fig biscuits. The key technical points are as follows: Ingredients: 100g low-gluten wheat flour, 80g butter, 30g powdered sugar, 10g Torreya grandis, 20g fig powder, 1g soluble dietary fiber, 5g egg powder, 1g edible salt, 0.5g sodium bicarbonate, 0.2g edible flavoring, and 0.5g phospholipids.

[0004] The torreya nuts used in the above scheme are pre-processed into torreya nut pieces. When processing torreya nuts, it is necessary to remove the shell and peel. Removing the shell is relatively simple, but the outer skin of torreya nuts is difficult to remove. Generally, workers have to manually rub the surface of the torreya kernels to effectively remove it. For making torreya nut cakes, this is an inefficient and labor-intensive step.

[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a special production device for torreya nut biscuits.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a special production device for Torreya grandis biscuits, comprising a frame and a ring-cutting assembly, a top-removing mechanism, a bottom shell fixing mechanism, a rotating assembly, and a pit fixing assembly on the frame, wherein:

[0008] The bottom shell fixing mechanism is used to fix the bottom of the vertically placed Torreya grandis shell;

[0009] The ring-cutting component is used to make a flat cut at the end of the Torreya grandis and cut open the end of the fruit shell;

[0010] The top-removing mechanism is used to remove the end of the fruit shell that has been cut off by the ring-cutting component;

[0011] The kernel fixing component is used to fix the kernel of Torreya grandis;

[0012] The rotating component is used to drive the bottom shell fixing mechanism to rotate and cooperate with the kernel fixing component to make the kernel and the inner wall of the shell rub against each other.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the ring-cutting assembly includes a cutting blade, a drive motor, and a translation component; the drive motor drives the cutting blade to rotate and cut; the translation component drives the cutting blade and the drive motor to move horizontally and cut the fruit shell; and the rotating assembly drives the torreya nut to rotate and cooperates with the cutting blade to complete the ring-cutting work at the end of the torreya nut.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the topping mechanism includes a fan, the fan being used to remove the cut-off portion of the torreya nut by means of air force after the end of the torreya nut is cut open.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom shell fixing mechanism fixes the bottom of the Torreya grandis shell by negative pressure.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the bottom shell fixing mechanism includes a placement seat, an elastic sealing ring and an air extraction component; the top surface of the placement seat is provided with a placement opening that communicates with the interior of the placement seat and is used for vertically placing the torreya nuts; the sealing ring is located on the inner wall of the placement opening of the placement seat; the sealing ring is used to press against the torreya nut shell and cooperate with the air extraction component to extract air in the placement seat to form a negative pressure.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotating assembly includes a rotating motor and a fixed frame, the fixed frame is fixed to the output end of the rotating motor and the placement seat is fixedly connected to the fixed frame.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that: the kernel fixing component includes a squeezing rod and an elastic squeezing head, the elastic squeezing head is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the squeezing rod, and the squeezing rod is used to drive the elastic squeezing head to squeeze and fix the kernel of the torreya nut from top to bottom.

[0019] The present invention is further configured to include a height judgment component and a lifting mechanism. The height judgment component is used to judge the height of the Torreya grandis and output an electrical signal. The lifting mechanism includes a component for driving the ring-cutting component to move up and down according to the electrical signal of the height judgment component and completing the cutting operation of fixing the height of the end of the Torreya grandis.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the torreya nuts are placed vertically and fixed by the bottom shell fixing mechanism. Then, the upper end of the torreya nut is cut off by the ring-cutting component, and the top-removing mechanism removes the cut end of the shell, thus exposing the kernel inside the torreya nut. The kernel inside the shell is then fixed in place by the kernel fixing component. Finally, the rotating component drives the bottom shell fixing mechanism and the shell fixed by the bottom shell fixing mechanism to rotate, so that the inner wall of the shell and the kernel rub against each other. The skin on the surface of the kernel is removed by friction, completing the automated peeling of the torreya nut kernel. The shell is mostly intact, so that the shell can still protect the kernel inside, which is conducive to maintaining the integrity of the kernel and improving the integrity of the kernel on the subsequent torreya nut biscuits, thus improving the market competitiveness of torreya nut biscuits.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example:

[0027] A specialized production apparatus for torreya nut biscuits, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a frame and on the frame a circulating feeding assembly, a ring cutting assembly, a top-removing mechanism, a bottom shell fixing mechanism, a rotating assembly, and a pit fixing assembly, wherein:

[0028] The bottom shell fixing mechanism is used to fix the bottom of the vertically placed Torreya grandis shell;

[0029] The ring-cutting component is used to cut the end of the Torreya grandis fruit and separate the shell.

[0030] The topping mechanism is used to remove the end of the hull that has been cut off by the ring-cutting component;

[0031] The kernel fixing component is used to fix the kernels of Torreya grandis.

[0032] The rotating component is used to drive the bottom shell fixing mechanism to rotate and cooperate with the kernel fixing component to make the kernel and the inner wall of the shell rub against each other.

[0033] The torreya nuts are placed vertically and secured by a bottom shell fixing mechanism. Then, a ring-cutting component cuts off the top of the nut, and a top-removing mechanism removes the cut-off shell end, exposing the kernel. A kernel-fixing component then holds the kernel in place. Finally, a rotating component rotates the bottom shell fixing mechanism and the shell it holds, causing friction between the inner shell and the kernel. This friction removes the outer skin of the kernel, completing the automated peeling process while preserving most of the shell's integrity. This ensures the shell protects the kernel, maintaining its integrity and improving the overall quality of the kernel on torreya nut cookies, thus enhancing the cookies' market competitiveness.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the circulating feeding assembly is used to drive the bottom shell fixing mechanism and the rotating assembly to move forward in a circular manner. Specifically, the circulating feeding assembly includes a ring or elliptical track 16. The bottom shell fixing mechanism and the rotating assembly are slidably connected to the track 16 and move forward along the track 16. The worker can fix the torreya nuts on the bottom shell fixing mechanism at the side of the track 16, thereby keeping the torreya nuts continuously fed and peeled. A fixed bracket 17 is provided on the track 16.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the ring-cutting assembly includes a cutting blade 1, a drive motor 2, and a translation component 3. The cutting blade 1 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 2. The drive motor 2 drives the cutting blade 1 to rotate and cut. The translation component 3 drives the cutting blade 1 and the drive motor 2 to move horizontally and cut the fruit shell. The rotating assembly drives the torreya nut to rotate and cooperates with the cutting blade 1 to complete the ring-cutting work at the end of the torreya nut. The translation component 3 can adopt common linear reciprocating motion mechanisms such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods. The drive motor 2 and the cutting blade 1 are mounted on the output end of the translation component 3, so that the translation component 3 can drive the cutting blade 1 to approach the torreya nut and cut the end of the torreya nut.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the topping mechanism includes a blower 4. The blower 4 is used to remove the cut-off part of the torreya nuts by means of wind power after the end of the torreya nut is cut open. After the blower 4 is started, it can generate wind power to blow off the cut-off part of the torreya nut. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and convenient collection of the shells blown off by the blower 4. Waste collection is simple and efficient.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the bottom shell fixing mechanism fixes the bottom of the Torreya grandis shell by negative pressure. Specifically, the bottom shell fixing mechanism includes a placement seat 5, an elastic sealing ring 6, and an air extraction component 7. The top surface of the placement seat 5 has a placement opening that communicates with the interior of the placement seat 5 and is used to accommodate the Torreya grandis when placed vertically. The sealing ring 6 is located on the inner wall of the placement opening of the placement seat 5. The sealing ring 6 is made of rubber. After the sealing ring 6 is pressed against the Torreya grandis shell, the sealing ring 6 deforms and squeezes the Torreya grandis shell, so that the Torreya grandis shell and the inner edge of the sealing ring 6 fit tightly together, thereby forming a sealed space in the placement seat 5 and its interior. With the help of the air extraction component 7, air can be extracted from the interior of the placement seat 5 to form a negative pressure space, thereby effectively fixing the Torreya grandis. The air extraction component 7 can be a flexible hose and a blower 4, which are common structures used by those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a rotating motor 8 and a fixed frame 9. The fixed frame 9 is fixed to the output end of the rotating motor 8, and the placement seat 5 of the bottom shell fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 9. After the rotating motor 8 is started, it can drive the fixed frame 9 to rotate, thereby driving the placement seat 5 on the fixed frame 9 to rotate, thereby driving the shell to rotate, so that the shell of the torreya nut and the torreya nut kernel rub against each other, effectively removing the skin from the torreya nut kernel.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the kernel fixing assembly includes a pressing rod 10 and an elastic pressing head 11. The elastic pressing head 11 is installed at the bottom end of the pressing rod 10. The pressing rod 10 is used to drive the elastic pressing head 11 to press and fix the kernel of the torreya nut from top to bottom. The pressing rod 10 can be driven by common linear reciprocating motion mechanisms such as cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric push rods, so that the pressing rod 10 can drive the elastic pressing head 11 to move towards the kernel and press the kernel. The elastic pressing head 11 is made of rubber. After the elastic pressing head 11 and the kernel are pressed, they can deform and firmly press the kernel against the inner bottom of the torreya nut shell, thereby restricting the rotation of the kernel and allowing the kernel to generate effective relative friction with the shell of the torreya nut, efficiently removing the skin from the kernel.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, the dedicated production device for Torreya grandis biscuits also includes a height judgment component 12 and a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is a commonly used screw-slider mechanism in this field, including a screw motor 13, a screw 14, and a sliding seat 15. The screw motor 13 drives the screw 14 to rotate, thereby driving the sliding seat 15 to rise and fall. Both the ring-cutting component and the height judgment component 12 are mounted on the sliding seat 15. The height judgment component 12 is used to judge the height of the Torreya grandis and output an electrical signal. The lifting mechanism includes a component for driving the ring-cutting component to move up and down according to the electrical signal from the height judgment component 12 and completing the cutting operation to a fixed height at the end of the Torreya grandis. The height judgment component 12 can use infrared light to measure the height of the Torreya grandis after it is fixed. The principle of infrared height measurement is... Infrared sensors are used to measure the time and intensity of reflected infrared light. An infrared sensor is an electronic component that can detect infrared light and convert it into an electrical signal. When infrared light shines on the top of the Torreya grandis, some of it is reflected back. The reflected infrared light is detected by the infrared sensor, which converts it into an electrical signal and transmits it to a computer for processing. By analyzing the time and intensity of the reflected infrared light, the computer can calculate the height of the top of the Torreya grandis. Based on the height of the Torreya grandis, the lifting mechanism moves the ring-cutting component up and down in a timely manner to ensure that the ring-cutting component does not remove too much of the Torreya grandis shell and to preserve the integrity of the Torreya grandis kernel as much as possible.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
