DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] In order to realize the automatic delivery of longan in the longan processing shell and meat separation device, it can work independently without workers. Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a shell-meat separation device for processing longan, which has a separation mechanism 1 and a conveying assembly 2 for conveying longan one by one from front to back to the inside of the separation mechanism 1, a storage assembly 3 installed on the separation mechanism 1 is used to guide the longan to be discharged in an orderly manner along multiple channels while caching, a plugging assembly 4 installed in the middle of the storage assembly 3 is used to intermittently intercept the longan rolling down, an air supply assembly 5 installed on the storage assembly 3 is used to control the inner diameter of the middle of several outlets at the bottom, and a pushing assembly 6 is installed on one side of the storage assembly 3 for pushing the longan at the bottom outlet of the storage assembly 3 obliquely downward when advancing horizontally. In actual application, the longan is stored above the plugging assembly 4 in the storage assembly 3, and the plugging assembly 4 is used to intermittently open the channel so that the longan slides down in a small amount at a time to the vicinity of the outlet. In this process, the structure in the air supply assembly 5 expands, thereby reducing the width of the bottom outlet end of the storage assembly 3 to prevent the longan from falling straight down. Then, by operating the pushing component 6, the longans that match the channels at the bottom outlet of the storage component 3 are pushed downward, and the excess longans are lifted upward, thereby ensuring that the number of longans falling down each time is uniform.

[0033] When the longan stored in the storage component 3 is unloaded onto the conveying component 2, it is easy for a plurality of longans to be discharged downward along the same channel, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, in order to effectively improve the accuracy of the number of longan discharged at a time. The storage component 3 in the longan shell and flesh separation device includes a storage bin 301 arranged above the conveying component 2, and a plurality of outlet cylinders 302 arranged equidistantly in front and back are embedded in the bottom of the storage bin 301, and the material of the outlet cylinders 302 is any one of rubber and silicone, and a plurality of slide grooves 303 corresponding to the outlet cylinders 302 are opened on the inclined bottom wall of the storage bin 301, and the pushing component 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 601 installed on the front of the storage bin 301, and a comb plate 602 located on one side of the storage bin 301 is detachably connected to the free end of the hydraulic cylinder 601, and a comb plate 602 located on the side of the storage bin 301 is detachably connected to the free end of the hydraulic cylinder 601. A plurality of lower pressure plates 603 are slidably inserted on one side, which are used to generate downward squeezing force on the longan falling into the outlet tube 302 when the hydraulic cylinder 601 is pushed outward. An upper lifting plate 604 is installed between two adjacent lower pressure plates 603, and the upper lifting plate 604 is integrally connected with the comb tooth plate 602. The bottom of the lower pressure plate 603 is inclined upward from one side close to the comb tooth plate 602 to the other side, and the bottoms of the lower pressure plate 603 and the upper lifting plate 604 are at the same height as the top surface of the outlet tube 302, and the top of the upper lifting plate 604 is inclined downward from one side close to the comb tooth plate 602 to the other side.

[0034] When in use, the longan placed inside the storage bin 301 is located above the plugging component 4. Only when the channel of the plugging component 4 is opened, can the longan slide down from top to bottom to the multiple outlet tubes 302. In the process, since the channel opening of the plugging component 4 is intermittently opened, the rule is based on the time required for a single longan to pass through the channel opening of the plugging component 4. At the moment when the current row of longans slides down along the channel opening of the plugging component 4, the plugging component 4 closes its channel opening in time, thereby effectively preventing too many longans from falling above several outlet tubes 302, and the small amount of longans that slide down slides one by one along the chute 303 to the corresponding outlet tubes 302. As for the very few longans that may be redundant, they eventually slide between two adjacent longans embedded in the outlet tube 302. In this case, the hydraulic cylinder 601 is operated in coordination to cause it to perform a corresponding contraction operation, so that the comb plate 602 pushes the lower pressing plate 603 and the upper lifting plate 604 into the storage bin 301. As the inclined bottom of the lower pressing plate 603 gradually contacts the top of the longan embedded in the outlet tube 302, a downward squeezing force is generated on the longan, so as to squeeze the longan downward to a specific position on the conveying assembly 2. At the same time, the upper lifting plate 604 lifts up the redundant longan between two adjacent outlet tubes 302 and restricts it between two adjacent lower pressing plates 603 to prevent it from being discharged downward along the inside of the outlet tube 302, thereby ensuring the consistency between the number of longans discharged at a single time and the number of outlet tubes 302.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] When the longan drops from the top of the blocking component 4 in the storage bin 301 to the outlet tube 302, the number of longan that drops may exceed the number of outlet tubes 302, so that there are excess longan gathered above a number of outlet tubes 302. Therefore, the longan cannot be directly discharged downward along the internal channel of the outlet tube 302. Therefore, the internal channel of the outlet tube 302 needs to be adjusted to a state smaller than the diameter of the longan. Figure 3 , Figure 6-Figure 8As shown. By setting the outlet tube 302 to an inclined arrangement between 15° and 30°, and the top surface of the outlet tube 302 is horizontal, an annular embedded groove 304 is opened on the inner wall of the outlet tube 302, and the air supply component 5 includes a plurality of annular air bags 501 embedded in the inner walls of the outlet tubes 302 through the annular embedded grooves 304, and a gas conduit 502 is inserted on the outer surface of the plurality of annular air bags 501, and an air pump 503 for inflating and deflating the annular air bags 501 along the gas conduit 502 is installed on the outer surface of the storage bin 301. The air is compressed by the air pump 503, and the compressed air is injected into the annular air bag 501 through the gas conduit 502, so as to gradually expand it, thereby reducing the channel size of the local area in the outlet tube 302, so as to prevent the longan from falling straight down. In addition, when the pushing assembly 6 is operated, the lower pressure plate 603 applies a downward squeezing force to the longan embedded in the outlet tube 302, and the upper lifting plate 604 lifts up the excess longan located between two adjacent outlet tubes 302, and then cooperates with the air pump 503 to extract the gas inside the annular airbag 501 along the gas duct 502, so that the inside of the annular airbag 501 gradually deflates, thereby canceling the restriction effect on the local area inside the outlet tube 302.

[0037] Specifically, the gas conduit 502 includes branch pipes plugged into the outer surfaces of the plurality of annular airbags 501, one end of the plurality of branch pipes is connected to a central pipe, and a Y-shaped pipe is connected between the connecting end of the air pump 503 and the central pipe. The Y-shaped pipe allows the compressed air delivered by the air pump 503 to be relatively evenly delivered to the central pipe, and then dispersed into the interior of each annular airbag 501 through the plurality of branch pipes, so that the process of each annular airbag 501 from a deflated state to an expanded state is uniform.

[0038] Embodiment 3

[0039] The conveying assembly 2 includes a conveying frame 201 installed in the separation mechanism 1, on which a plurality of evenly arranged rubber groove seats 202 are installed, and the spacing between two adjacent rubber groove seats 202 is consistent with the spacing between two adjacent outlet cylinders 302. Two mirror-image-arranged protective platforms 203 are installed on the top surface of the separation mechanism 1 and are located on both sides of the conveying frame 201, and the spacing between the two protective platforms 203 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The protective platform 203 is provided with a groove 204 whose width gradually decreases from top to bottom on one side close to the rubber groove seat 202. The conveying frame 201 is composed of a conveyor belt, a plurality of rollers and a motor, and the motor is used to drive the rollers and the conveyor belt to rotate, so as to convey a plurality of rubber groove seats 202 from front to back to the inside of the separation mechanism 1. The protective platform 203 with the groove 204 arranged on the inclined side can play a protective role on both sides of the rubber groove seat 202, and at the same time guide the longan sliding down from the inside of the outlet cylinder 302 to accurately enter the corresponding rubber groove seat 202.

[0040] Embodiment 4

[0041] The blocking assembly 4 includes a slope plate 401 installed between the inner wall of one side of the storage bin 301 and the inclined bottom wall. A through groove 4011 is provided at one end of the slope plate 401 close to the inclined bottom wall of the storage bin 301 to allow the longan to roll down along the chute 303. A baffle 402 having a width greater than the through groove 4011 is slidably installed at the bottom of the slope plate 401. An electric push rod 403 is installed between the bottom of the slope plate 401 and the baffle 402. A plurality of dividing strips 4012 arranged at intervals from the through groove 4011 are installed on the top surface of the slope plate 401, and the middle part to both sides of the dividing strips 4012 are inclined from top to bottom. By utilizing the telescopic operation of the electric push rod 403, the baffle 402 is controlled to slide toward one side along the bottom surface of the slope plate 401, thereby adjusting the relative position between the baffle 402 and the through groove 4011. When the baffle 402 is misaligned with the through slot 4011, the longan can be allowed to pass through the through slot 4011 and slide down along the chute 303. On the contrary, when the baffle 402 overlaps below the through slot 4011, the longan can be blocked from sliding down from the top of the slope plate 401. As for the use of the dividing strip 4012, the longan on the upper surface of the slope plate 401 near the through slot 4011 can be lined up in advance, and at the same time, it is effectively avoided that there are longans left on the slope plate 401 in the final stage.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
