Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of walnut processing, in particular to a walnut peeling and cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] At present, walnuts need to be peeled in time after picking to prevent the walnut skin from rotting and causing damage to the walnuts.

[0003] In the prior art, the peeling operation of walnuts can be roughly divided into manual peeling or peeling with the help of a peeling machine. The former requires a lot of manpower, resulting in a relatively low peeling efficiency. The latter peeling machine mostly places the walnuts to be peeled inside a peeling drum, uses a power mechanism to drive the peeling drum to rotate, and uses the friction between the inner wall of the peeling drum and the walnuts when the peeling drum rotates to remove the walnut skin. However, although this peeling method has improved peeling efficiency compared to manual peeling, when the peeling drum rotates, the friction between the walnuts and the inner wall of the peeling drum is small due to the light weight of the walnuts. Once the friction is small, the friction peeling effect of the walnuts will be affected. Summary of the invention

[0035] The present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation modes.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present embodiment provides a walnut peeling and cleaning device, comprising a support platform 10, a peeling plate 20, a cutting assembly 30, a spray assembly 40, a water supply assembly 50 and a pressing assembly 70. The peeling plate 20 is fixedly arranged at one end of the support platform 10. A vertically distributed peeling channel 201 is opened in the peeling plate 20. The pressing assembly 70 is arranged above the peeling plate 20 and is used to press the walnuts to be peeled into the peeling channel 201. The cutting assembly 30 is arranged inside the peeling channel 201. When the walnuts to be peeled are pressed into the peeling channel 201, the cutting component 30 is used to remove the walnut skin. The spray component 40 and the water supply component 50 are arranged inside the peeling channel 201. The spray component 40 is located below the cutting component 30. When the cutting component 30 removes the walnut skin, the water supply component 50 is used to supply water to the spray component 40. The water is sprayed through the spray component 40 and acts on the walnuts with the skin removed, so as to clean the walnuts with the skin removed.

[0037] When the walnuts need to be peeled, the walnuts to be peeled can be placed on the upper part of the peeling plate 20 so that the walnuts are located at the upper end of the peeling channel 201, and then the pressing component 70 presses the walnuts into the peeling channel 201 and moves the walnuts downward along the peeling channel 201. During this process, the cutting component 30 cuts off the walnut skin, and then the water supply component 50 supplies water to the inside of the spray component 40. The water is sprayed onto the surface of the walnuts through the spray component 40 to clean the walnuts, thereby further removing the small amount of skin remaining on the surface of the walnuts.

[0038] See also Figure 3 In one embodiment, the cutting assembly 30 includes a steel wire rope 304 and a plurality of cutters 301, wherein the plurality of cutters 301 are distributed in an annular manner on the inner side of the peeling channel 201, one end of the plurality of cutters 301 is hingedly connected to the inner wall of the peeling channel 201, and the other end extends toward the center direction of the peeling channel 201, the bottom of each group of the cutters 301 is connected to the inner wall of the peeling channel 201 through a group of first elastic members 302, a through hole 303 is provided on each group of the cutters 301, a channel is provided on the inner wall of the peeling channel 201, a sliding column 305 is slidably provided inside the channel, one end of the sliding column 305 is connected to the inner wall of the channel through a second elastic member 306, one end of the steel wire rope 304 is connected to a certain group of the cutters 301, and the other end passes through the through holes 303 on the remaining plurality of the cutters 301 in sequence and extends to the inside of the channel and then is connected to the sliding column 305.

[0039] Initially, the plurality of cutters 301 are distributed in an annular manner inside the peeling channel 201, and the plurality of cutters 301 are kept horizontal. The steel wire rope 304 forms an annular structure with a smaller diameter under the restriction of the plurality of cutters 301. When the pressing assembly 70 presses the walnut to be peeled into the peeling channel 201, the bottom of the walnut can act on the plurality of cutters 301. At this time, the plurality of cutters 301 cut into the epidermis at the bottom of the walnut, and the steel wire rope 304 in an annular structure acts on the epidermis at the bottom of the walnut simultaneously. At the same time, the plurality of cutters 301 are subjected to the pressure of the walnut and rotate downward compared to the peeling channel 201, and are supported by the first elastic member 302. Under the action, several cutting knives 301 act on the walnut and then cut its skin upward to cut the walnut skin into several petals. When several cutting knives 301 rotate downward, they move away from each other. At this time, the steel wire rope 304 moves up along the surface of the walnut due to the moving away action of the cutting knives 301 and the downward pressure of the walnut. At the same time, the adaptability of the annular structure surrounded by the steel wire rope 304 is expanded, the sliding column 305 is pulled and slides to the outside of the channel, and the second elastic member 306 is stretched. When the steel wire rope 304 moves up along the surface of the walnut, the friction effect on the walnut skin can be used to scrape the skin cut into several petals from the walnut surface, thereby realizing the peeling of the walnut.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, a water tank 80 is provided below the support platform 10, a water pipe 801 is provided on one side of the water tank 80, the spray assembly 40 includes an annular spray plate 401 fixedly provided on the inner wall of the peeling channel 201, the annular spray plate 401 is hollow inside, and a plurality of evenly distributed spray holes 402 are provided on the inner side of the annular spray plate 401, the water supply assembly 50 includes a piston rod 501, a piston cylinder 502, a third elastic member 503, a water supply pipe 504, a connecting plate 506 and a push rod 507, the piston cylinder 502 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the peeling channel 201, and the lower end of the piston rod 501 extends to the piston The inside of the cylinder 502 is connected to the inner bottom wall of the piston cylinder 502 through the third elastic member 503, the upper end of the piston rod 501 is connected to the connecting plate 506, the lower end of the push rod 507 is connected to the connecting plate 506, and the upper end passes through the inner side of the annular spray plate 401 and the center of several of the cutting knives 301 in sequence, one end of the water supply pipe 504 is connected to the inner cavity of the annular spray plate 401, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 502, the end of the water delivery pipe 801 away from the water tank 80 is connected to the inner cavity of the piston cylinder 502, and a one-way valve (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the water supply pipe 504 and the water delivery pipe 801.

[0041] When the pressing assembly 70 presses the walnut to be peeled into the peeling channel 201, the bottom of the walnut acts on the upper end of the push rod 507 and drives the push rod 507 to move downward. The push rod 507 moves downward, and then drives the piston rod 501 to move downward along the inside of the piston cylinder 502 through the connecting plate 506. When the piston rod 501 moves downward, the water source inside the piston cylinder 502 is pressed to the inside of the annular spray plate 401 through the water supply pipe 504, and then sprayed out from the plurality of spray holes 402 on the inner side of the annular spray plate 401. When the plurality of cutters 301 cut the walnut skin into a plurality of petals and the wire rope 304 scrapes the plurality of petals of skin from the surface of the walnut, the walnut is pressed by the pressing assembly 70 and then moves downward from the inner side of the annular spray plate 401. At this time, the water source sprayed through the plurality of spray holes 402 acts on the surface of the walnut, thereby achieving the cleaning of the walnut, so as to remove the small amount of skin remaining on the surface of the walnut.

[0042] See also Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, the push rod 507 and the piston rod 501 are respectively located at two ends of the connecting plate 506, an extension rod 505 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the piston rod 501, and a spiral plate 2011 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the peeling channel 201.

[0043] When the walnut passes downward through the inner side of the annular spray plate 401, the extension rod 505 on the side wall of the piston rod 501 acts on the spiral plate 2011, and the spiral plate 2011 pushes the extension rod 505 and then drives the piston rod 501 to rotate compared with the piston cylinder 502. When the piston rod 501 rotates, it drives the top rod 507 to rotate through the connecting plate 506. When the top rod 507 rotates, its upper end is removed from the bottom of the walnut to release the support restriction on the walnut. At this time, the peeled walnut falls out of the lower end of the peeling channel 201 by itself.

[0044] In one embodiment, when the top rod 507 is rotated to be removed from the lower part of the walnut, in order to ensure that the walnut can smoothly fall out through the lower port of the peeling channel 201, the lower half of the peeling channel 201 can also be a trumpet-shaped expansion structure. Through this arrangement, when the top rod 507 is removed from the bottom of the walnut, due to the larger diameter of the lower half of the peeling channel 201, the walnut can be unaffected by the top rod 507, the piston rod 501 and the piston cylinder 502 and can smoothly fall out from the lower port of the peeling channel 201.

[0045] See also Figure 1In one embodiment, a surrounding plate 202 is provided on the upper edge of the peeling plate 20, and a support plate 203 is fixedly provided on the upper part of the surrounding plate 202. The pressing assembly 70 includes a pressing rod 701, a lifting plate 702 and a hydraulic cylinder 703. The hydraulic cylinder 703 is fixedly provided on the inner top wall of the support plate 203, the lifting plate 702 is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 703, and the pressing rod 701 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 702.

[0046] When the walnut to be peeled is placed on the upper end of the peeling channel 201, the top rod 507 provides support for the bottom of the walnut, and then the hydraulic cylinder 703 extends, thereby driving the lifting plate 702 and the pressure rod 701 to move downward. When the pressure rod 701 moves downward, the walnut is pressed into the peeling channel 201 and driven to move downward along the peeling channel 201. During this process, a number of cutters 301 and steel wire ropes 304 remove the walnut skin, and the piston rod 501 presses the water source inside the piston cylinder 502 to the inside of the annular spray plate 401 through the water supply pipe 504, and then sprays it out from a number of spray holes 402 to clean the peeled walnut. The walnut cleaning is completed. Afterwards, the extension rod 505 acts on the spiral plate 2011 to drive the piston rod 501 and the push rod 507 to rotate, the push rod 507 is removed from the bottom of the walnut, and the walnut falls out from the lower part of the peeling channel 201, and then the hydraulic cylinder 703 drives the lifting plate 702 and the pressure rod 701 to move upward, and the third elastic member 503 pushes the piston rod 501 and the push rod 507 to make the piston rod 501 and the push rod 507 move upward synchronously, thereby realizing the reset of the pressure rod 701, the push rod 507 and the piston rod 501; when the above-mentioned piston rod 501 moves upward, the water source in the water tank 80 can be drawn into the piston cylinder 502 through the water pipe 801 to replenish the water source.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first elastic member 302 , the second elastic member 306 and the third elastic member 503 may be springs or metal springs, which are not limited here.

[0048] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In one embodiment, a U-shaped material guide plate 60 is also provided on one side of the peeling plate 20.

[0049] When peeling a number of walnuts continuously, the walnuts can be placed on the inner side of the U-shaped guide plate 60. At this time, the walnuts located at the bottom can roll into the upper port of the peeling channel 201 by themselves, and then be pressed into the peeling channel 201 by the downward pressure rod 701 for peeling and cleaning. After the current walnuts are separated and cleaned, as the pressure rod 701 moves out of the peeling channel 201, the walnuts located at the bottom of the inner side of the U-shaped guide plate 60 can roll into the upper port of the peeling channel 201 again by themselves, and the pressure rod 701 moves down again. This reciprocating cycle can realize automatic continuous peeling and cleaning of a number of walnuts.

[0050] In one embodiment, a plurality of legs 101 are fixedly disposed on the bottom of the support platform 10 .

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, when walnuts need to be peeled, the walnuts to be peeled can be placed on the upper part of the peeling plate 20 so that the walnuts are located at the upper end of the peeling channel 201, and then the pressing component 70 presses the walnuts into the peeling channel 201 and moves the walnuts downward along the peeling channel 201. During this process, the cutting component 30 cuts off the walnut skin, and then the water supply component 50 supplies water to the inside of the spray component 40. The water is sprayed onto the surface of the walnuts through the spray component 40 to clean the walnuts, thereby further removing the small amount of skin remaining on the surface of the walnuts. Compared with the prior art, the automatic peeling and cleaning of walnuts can be realized, and it has the advantages of good peeling effect and high peeling efficiency.
