Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for pitting crabapple fruit during deep processing and its usage method, belonging to the field of fruit processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most fruit pitting equipment on the market requires fruit to be sieved according to size before operation, so that after pitting, the fruit can be transferred to different processing workshops according to quality. However, separating sieving and pitting operations increases the processing steps and wastes time. Moreover, after sieving, different fruits need to be stored, which wastes the factory's production space. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in the background art by providing a device for pitting crabapple fruit in deep processing and its usage method.

[0004] The present invention achieves the above objectives by adopting the following technical solution:

[0005] A device for deep processing and pitting of crabapple fruits includes a screening device, a conveying device, and a pitting device; the conveying device includes two sets of rollers, one set of rollers has a conveyor belt I on its outer side, and the other set of rollers has a conveyor belt II on its outer side, with conveyor belt II located inside conveyor belt I; the side of each roller has a rotating shaft, and a bracket is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; conveyor belt I has multiple perforations, and conveyor belt II has grooves.

[0006] The screening device includes side guard plates; the side guard plates are set on the rotating shaft on the side of the drum, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side guard plates. An arc-shaped limiting plate and an inclined plate are fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the two side guard plates; the inclined plate contacts the outer side of the conveyor belt II, and the side guard plate near the lower point of the inclined plate is provided with a discharge port.

[0007] The core removal device includes a cylinder; the cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder; the connecting plate is provided with a through hole, and a round tube communicating with the corresponding through hole is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate; the support plate is provided with a hole that slides with the round tube.

[0008] A method for using a device for pitting crabapple fruit in deep processing, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Place the crabapple in the perforation or groove;

[0010] Step 2: Conveyor belts I and II transport the crabapples to the area below the hole;

[0011] Step 3: Start the cylinder. The cylinder drives the round tube downward, piercing the crabapple and leaving the pit inside the round tube.

[0012] Step 4: Reverse start cylinder causes the round tube to move upward. After it moves above the support plate, the limiting rod inside the round tube pushes the pit out and leaves it in the inclined groove.

[0013] Step 5: After the pits are removed, the crabapples continue to move with conveyor belts I and II. The crabapples located in the groove fall onto the inclined plate after moving with conveyor belt II and are discharged through the outlet. The crabapples on conveyor belt I are detached at the upper end of the limiting plate, and the remaining crabapples are detached after leaving the limiting plate, thus completing the screening according to the size of the crabapples.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Specific implementation method one: as follows Figure 1-9 As shown in the figure, this embodiment describes a device for deep processing and pitting of crabapple, including a screening device 1, a conveying device 2, and a pitting device 4; the conveying device 2 includes two sets of rollers 21, one set of rollers 21 has a conveyor belt I 22 on its outer side, and the other set of rollers 21 has a conveyor belt II 23 on its outer side, with the conveyor belt II 23 located inside the conveyor belt I 22; the side of each roller 21 has a rotating shaft, and a bracket 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; the conveyor belt I 22 has multiple perforations 25, and the conveyor belt II 23 has grooves 26; a gap less than half the height of the crabapple fruit or no gap can be left between the horizontal ends of the conveyor belts I 22 and II 23 to prevent the crabapple fruit from shifting in the gap between the conveyor belts I 22 and II 23.

[0026] The screening device 1 includes a side guard plate 11; the side guard plate 11 is disposed on the rotating shaft on the side of the drum 21, and a support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side guard plate 11. An arc-shaped limiting plate 13 and an inclined plate 17 are fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the two side guard plates 11; the inclined plate 17 contacts the outer side of the conveyor belt II 23, and the side guard plate 11 near the low point of the inclined plate 17 is provided with a discharge port 12.

[0027] The pitting device 4 includes a cylinder 41; the cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 14, and a connecting plate 42 is fixedly connected to the free end of the cylinder 41; the connecting plate 42 has a through hole, and a round tube 45 communicating with the corresponding through hole is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 42; the support plate 14 has a hole 16 that slides with the round tube 45. Through the setting of the limiting plate 13, the perforation 25, and the groove 26, the lower end of the large crabapple fruit is positioned within the perforation 25, the middle position of the medium-sized crabapple fruit is embedded within the perforation 25, and the small crabapple fruit is positioned within the groove 26. After pitting, with the movement of conveyor belt I 22 and conveyor belt II 23, conveyor belt II 23 moves the small fruit onto the inclined plate 17 and removes it from the discharge port 12. When conveyor belt I 22 moves to the bend, the large fruit sits on top of the perforation 25 due to its bottom. After the conveyor belt I22 moves to the bend, the fruit comes out from the top of the perforation 25 under the action of gravity. The medium-sized fruit, because it is embedded in the perforation 25, will only come out when the corresponding perforation 25 is tilted downward, thus completing the screening of large and medium-sized fruit. When the perforation 25 is tilted downward, the limiting plate 13 prevents the medium-sized fruit from coming out until the perforation 25 is vertically downward, at which point the medium-sized fruit will detach from the limiting plate 13 and come out. After pitting, the screening of large, medium and small crabapples is completed, reducing the number of processes and saving time.

[0028] The linear speeds of conveyor belts I 22 and II 23 are equal, and their central axes coincide when the perforation 25 moves above the corresponding groove 26. This ensures that the perforation 25 and the groove 26 are coaxial, thereby preventing the crabapple located in the groove 26 from being misaligned with the perforation 25 above, which would prevent effective pitting.

[0029] The diameter of the perforation 25 is larger than the diameter of the groove 26. The groove 26 is designed to accommodate small fruits. The smaller diameter of the groove 26 compared to the perforation 25 effectively restrains the small fruits, preventing them from shifting and increasing the accuracy of pitting.

[0030] The upper end of the support plate 14 is provided with a sloping groove 15, which communicates with the corresponding hole 16; a connecting block 43 is hinged on the connecting plate 42, and two push rods 44 with their lower ends located in the corresponding sloping groove 15 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 43; the gap between the two push rods 44 is in sliding fit with the corresponding round tube 45.

[0031] The push rod 44 is set at an angle. When the connecting plate 42 moves downward, the push rod 44 moves along the setting direction of the inclined groove 15.

[0032] It also includes a limiting device 3; the limiting device 3 includes a support rod 32; the lower end of the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to the support plate 14, and the upper end of the support rod 32 is fixedly connected to a horizontal plate 31; the lower end of the horizontal plate 31 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 33 that slides with the through hole and the round tube 45 on the connecting plate 42.

[0033] The length of the limiting rod 33 is greater than the length of the circular tube 45.

[0034] The shortest distance between the limiting plate 13 and the conveyor belt I22 is less than the distance between the conveyor belt I22 and the support plate 14.

[0035] A stepper motor is fixedly connected to the side of the roller 21.

[0036] A method for using a device for pitting crabapple fruit in deep processing, the method comprising the following steps:

[0037] Step 1: Place the crabapple in the perforation 25 or groove 26;

[0038] Step 2: Conveyor belts I 22 and II 23 transport the crabapples to below hole 16;

[0039] Step 3: Start cylinder 41. Cylinder 41 drives the round tube 45 to move downward, piercing the crabapple and leaving the pit inside the round tube 45.

[0040] Step 4: Reverse start cylinder 41 causes the round tube 45 to move upward. After it moves above the support plate 14, the limiting rod 33 inside the round tube 45 pushes the pit out and leaves it in the inclined groove 15.

[0041] Step 5: After the pits are removed, the crabapples continue to move along conveyor belts I 22 and II 23. The crabapples located in the groove 26 fall onto the inclined plate 17 after moving along conveyor belt II 23 and are discharged through the discharge port 12. The crabapples on conveyor belt I 22 are removed from the upper end of the limiting plate 13, and the remaining crabapples are removed after detaching from the limiting plate 13, thus completing the screening according to the size of the crabapples.

[0042] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When using this device, the crabapple is placed in the perforation 25 or the groove 26; the lower end of the large crabapple is located in the perforation 25, the middle position of the medium crabapple is embedded in the perforation 25, and the small crabapple is located in the groove 26.

[0043] Conveyor belts I and II transport the crabapples to below hole 16;

[0044] Start cylinder 41, cylinder 41 drives round tube 45 to move downward, piercing the crabapple and leaving the pit inside round tube 45;

[0045] When the reverse-start cylinder 41 is activated, the round tube 45 moves upward. After it moves above the support plate 14, the limiting rod 33 inside the round tube 45 pushes the fruit pit out and leaves it in the corresponding inclined groove 15. When the round tube 45 moves downward again, it will also drive the connecting block 43 to move. The connecting block 43 drives the push rod 44 to slide along the inclined groove 15, pushing the fruit pit out of the inclined groove 15 and preventing the fruit pit from accumulating.

[0046] After pitting, as conveyor belts I 22 and II 23 move, conveyor belt II 23 carries small fruits to the inclined plate 17 and they are released from the discharge port 12. When conveyor belt I 22 moves to the bend, large fruits, because their bottoms are sitting above the perforations 25, are released from the top of the perforations 25 under the action of gravity after conveyor belt I 22 moves to the bend. Medium fruits, because they are embedded in the perforations 25, will only be released when the corresponding perforations 25 are tilted downwards, thus completing the screening of large and medium fruits. When the perforations 25 are tilted downwards, the limiting plate 13 prevents the medium fruits from being released until the perforations 25 are vertically downwards, at which point the medium fruits will detach from the limiting plate 13 and be released. Thus, after pitting, the screening of large, medium and small crabapple fruits is completed, reducing the number of processes and saving time.
