Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shelling and fruit picking, and in particular to an intelligent water chestnut shelling and fruit picking device. Background Art

[0002] Water chestnut is the fruit of an aquatic plant, widely grown and deeply loved in many areas of my country. It has a unique shape, with a hard and irregular shell and edible flesh inside. In recent years, my country's agricultural technology has continued to develop, and the market for water chestnuts has reached tens of billions of yuan, but processing is still in its infancy.

[0003] Traditionally, the shelling and removal of water chestnuts mainly rely on manual operations. People use knives and other tools to cut the shells of water chestnuts one by one, and then take out the flesh inside. This manual processing method is not only inefficient, but also requires certain skills and strength during the cutting process. Improper operation can easily lead to hand injuries, posing a major safety hazard.

[0004] At present, the traditional method of peeling water chestnuts in households is mostly to use a kitchen knife and a small hammer or to break the water chestnut shell by hand, and then take out the water chestnut kernel. Since the water chestnut shell is hard, the water chestnut kernel is easily damaged during the processing, which makes it difficult to take out the water chestnut kernel in the shell, resulting in waste. The function of intelligent shelling and meat removal cannot be achieved well, and thus the problems of high labor intensity, low production efficiency, high labor cost and high water chestnut kernel damage rate cannot be solved well. In view of this, we propose an intelligent water chestnut shelling and fruit removal device. Summary of the invention

Then the water chestnut falls into the conveyor belt 47 with a baffle to ensure that each water chestnut enters each process separately. A horizontal fixed plate 48 is installed, a horizontal reduction motor 49 is fixedly installed on the outside of the horizontal fixed plate 48, a transmission roller is also fixedly installed on the output end of the horizontal reduction motor 49, and a horizontal conveyor belt 410 is installed on the outside of the transmission roller.

When the stepping hydraulic cylinder 412 is started, the push plate 413 pushes the water chestnuts to the bottom of the floating pressure plate 512, and then the push plate 413 is reset in the reverse direction.

[0025] In addition, a cutting assembly 5 is arranged on the outside of the push plate 413, and the cutting assembly 5 includes a T-shaped block 51, a T-shaped block 51 is fixedly installed on the inside of the frame 2, a stepping asynchronous motor 52 is fixedly installed on the T-shaped block 51, a ball screw 53 is fixedly installed on the output end of the bottom end of the stepping asynchronous motor 52, a long strip block 514 is fixedly installed on the inside of the frame 2, and the ball screw 53 is rotatably installed between the T-shaped block 51 and the long strip block 514, a threaded plate 54 is threadedly installed on the outside of the ball screw 53, and a guide rod 55 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded plate 54, and the guide rod 55 is slidably fitted inside the T-shaped block 51.

The cutting reduction motor 57 has a cutting shaft 58 fixedly installed on the output end, and the cutting shaft 58 is rotatably installed in the U-shaped frame 56. On the other hand, a cutting blade 59 is fixedly installed on the outside of the cutting shaft 58, and two groups of cutting blades 59 are provided. A fixing block 510 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the U-shaped frame 56, and a vertical rod 511 is slidably installed inside the fixing block 510. The lower surface of the top of the vertical rod 511 is in contact with the top of the fixing block 510, and a floating pressure plate 512 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical rod 511. A close spring 513 is sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 511. Further, two groups of vertical rods 511 and close springs 513 are provided, and both groups of vertical rods 511 and close springs 513 are in a floating pressure plate. The vertical center line of plate 512 is the axis of symmetry, which is symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the cutting axis 58.

When the cutting reduction motor 57 is started, the cutting axis 58 rotates, thereby cutting off the fruit shells at both ends of the water chestnut, reducing the overall compression resistance of the water chestnut. At the same time, when the U-shaped frame 56 moves downward, it will drive the fixed block 510, the vertical rod 511 and the floating pressure plate 512 to move downward synchronously and close to the water chestnut, and at the same time press the spring 513 to compress and deform, thereby making the cutting process more stable.

[0026] In addition, an extrusion assembly 6 is arranged on the outside of the long strip block 514, and the extrusion assembly 6 includes an inclined slot plate 61. The bottom end of the long strip block 514 is fixedly installed with the inclined slot plate 61, and the bottom of the square plate 411 is fixedly installed with an auxiliary plate 62. The outside of the auxiliary plate 62 is fixedly installed with a vertical plate 63. After the water chestnut is cut, the stepper hydraulic cylinder 412 is continuously started, so that the push plate 413 continues to push the water chestnut forward onto the inclined slot plate 61, and then falls into between the eccentric arc plate 68 and the roller 66.

One end of a return spring 610 is fixedly installed inside the rectangular groove 69, and the other end of the return spring 610 is fixedly installed on the slide bar 611. When the extrusion motor 64 is started, the eccentric arc plate 68 and the roller 66 are squeezed against each other, forcing the water chestnut shell to deform and rupture, thereby achieving the effect of separating the shell and the meat, and then the water chestnut can be better shelled and the fruit can be taken out. At the same time, when large-sized water chestnuts appear, the roller 66 applies a thrust to the eccentric arc plate 68 through the water chestnuts. When the thrust exceeds the critical deformation value of the return spring 610, the slide bar 611 slides in the rectangular groove 69, causing the return spring 610 to contract, and the gap between the roller 66 and the eccentric arc plate 68 is increased, thereby achieving the effect of adaptive water chestnut size.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, a collecting assembly 7 is provided at the top of the bottom plate 1, and the collecting assembly 7 includes a water trough 71.

A separation plate 75 is clamped on the inner side of the water tank 71, and the separation plate 75 is inclined. Furthermore, according to the characteristics of the water chestnut shell with low density and high buoyancy, and the water chestnut kernel with high starch content and high density, after falling into the clean water in the water tank 71, the water chestnut kernel sinks to the bottom of the water due to gravity, while the shell floats on the water surface due to buoyancy, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the water chestnut shell from the kernel. At the same time, the separation plate 75 is used to prevent the water chestnut shell and the kernel at the water surface of the water tank 71 from being mixed together again, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the shell space in the water tank 71. When the bottom reduction motor 73 is started, the inclined conveyor belt 74 can better collect the water chestnut kernel and separate the shell, thereby solving the problems of low efficiency, high cost and low integrity rate of peeled kernels in manual water chestnut peeling.

Furthermore, when the water chestnut passes through the infrared sensor 84, the horizontal reduction motor 49 is controlled to stop running, and the water chestnut continues to be transported to the square plate 411 due to inertia. After a preset time value, the horizontal reduction motor 49 is restarted to achieve the effect of step-by-step operation, thereby enabling the device to operate better.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, a cleaning assembly 9 is provided on the outside of the roller 66, and the cleaning assembly 9 includes an oblique stopper 91, and the oblique stopper 91 is clamped between the two groups of vertical plates 63, and a brush rod 92 is clamped at the bottom end of the oblique stopper 91.

When the stepping asynchronous motor 52 is started, the ball screw 53 is rotated, so that the threaded plate 54 can move up and down, thereby driving the U-shaped frame 56 to move synchronously. When the cutting reduction motor 57 is started, the cutting shaft 58 is rotated, so that the shells at both ends of the water chestnut can be cut off, so that the overall anti-extrusion property of the water chestnut is reduced. At the same time, when the U-shaped frame 56 moves downward, it will drive the fixed block 510, the vertical rod 511 and the floating pressure plate 512 to move downward synchronously close to the water chestnut, and at the same time, the spring 513 is pressed and compressed and deformed, so that the cutting process is more stable. After the water chestnut is cut, the stepping hydraulic cylinder 412 is started again, so that the push plate 413 continues to push the water chestnut forward to the inclined slot plate 61, and then falls into the eccentric arc plate 68 and roller 66, when the extrusion motor 64 is started, the eccentric arc plate 68 and roller 66 are squeezed against each other, forcing the water chestnut shell to deform and rupture, achieving the effect of separating the shell and the meat, and then the water chestnut shell can be better cut and the fruit can be taken out. At the same time, when a large-sized water chestnut appears, the roller 66 applies a thrust to the eccentric arc plate 68 through the water chestnut, so that when the thrust exceeds the critical deformation value of the reset spring 610, the slide bar 611 slides in the rectangular groove 69, so that the reset spring 610 contracts, and the gap between the roller 66 and the eccentric arc plate 68 increases, so as to achieve the effect of adaptive water chestnut size. Furthermore, according to the characteristics of the water chestnut shell with low density and high buoyancy, the water chestnut kernel with high starch content and high density, after falling into the cleaning water in the water tank 71, the water chestnut kernel is The water chestnut shells are forced to sink to the bottom of the water, while the shells float on the water surface due to buoyancy, thereby achieving the purpose of separating the water chestnut shells from the kernels. At the same time, the separation plate 75 is used to prevent the water chestnut shells and kernels at the water surface of the water tank 71 from being mixed together again, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the shell space in the water tank 71. When the bottom reduction motor 73 is started, the inclined conveyor belt 74 can better collect the water chestnut kernels and separate the shells, thereby solving the problems of low efficiency, high cost and low completeness rate of peeled kernels in manual water chestnut peeling. Furthermore, when the water chestnuts pass through the infrared sensor 84, the horizontal reduction motor 49 is controlled to stop running, and the water chestnuts are continuously conveyed to the square plate 411 by inertia. After a preset time value, the horizontal reduction motor 49 is restarted to achieve the effect of step-by-step operation, thereby enabling the device to operate better.Furthermore, with the oblique stopper 91 blocking, the cut water chestnuts can fall between the eccentric arc plate 68 and the roller 66 better, and the rotating roller 66 will contact the brush rod 92, so that it can be brushed and cleaned by the brush rod 92, thereby preventing residue from remaining on the roller 66, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
