Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coconut meat processing, and more specifically to a coconut meat pressing device for coconut milk processing. Background Art

[0002] At present, coconut water is generally used in the subsequent processing of coconut into beverages, while coconut meat is dried. However, coconut meat also contains a lot of water and nutrients. Direct drying will cause serious loss of nutrients and require high energy consumption. To solve the above problems, a Chinese patent discloses a coconut meat squeezing mechanism (application number 2020210408925). According to the above technical solution, in actual use, piston No. 1 and piston No. 2 are both located on the side of the feed hopper, and the feed hopper is located on the side of the discharge end. Piston No. 1 and piston No. 2 are both fitted and sealed with the inner wall of the squeezing body; the coconut meat enters the interior of the squeezing body from the hopper, and when the fallen coconut meat accumulates in the squeezing body below the feed hopper, the feed valve is closed after a certain period of time, and the cylinder drives piston No. 2 to quickly push the coconut meat forward, and quickly returns to the other side of the feed hopper. The feeding process is repeated many times, and the interior of the squeezing body can be filled, and then the power mechanism is started to drive the gear ring to rotate. Since the internal thread inside the gear ring cooperates with the screw, the screw produces axial displacement, so the coconut meat is squeezed. During the squeezing process, some nutrients in the coconut meat flow out with the internal water and can be collected.

[0003] However, the above technical scheme has the following problems: secondly, the coconut meat is extruded through the discharge hole, which will change the block structure of the coconut meat itself, which is unfavorable for the subsequent processing of the coconut meat, such as the need for blocky coconut meat products. Secondly, since it only relies on the extrusion of one end to extrude the coconut meat from the discharge hole, the coconut meat moisture will also penetrate through the discharge hole, causing waste. Summary of the invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a coconut meat pressing device for coconut milk processing.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A coconut meat squeezing device for coconut milk processing, comprising:

[0009] a first extrusion unit, comprising a first extrusion member located on the left side of the discharge window; and

[0010] The second extrusion unit includes a second extrusion member located on the right side of the discharge window and facing the first extrusion member, so that the first extrusion member and the second extrusion member can move toward or in the opposite direction, so that the second extrusion member can be embedded in the first extrusion member.

[0011] The pusher comprises two racks fixed to the bottom surface of the screen, a gear shaft meshed with the two racks through a gear, and a motor drivingly connected to the gear shaft.

[0012] The first pressing unit further includes a first cylinder for pushing the first pressing member to move, and the second pressing unit further includes a second cylinder for pushing the second pressing member to move.

[0015] Both ends of the first extrusion plate and the second extrusion plate are mounted on the inner wall of the chassis through a guide rail pair.

[0016] A coconut juice collection box is also provided on the back of the screen between the two racks.

[0017] A pushing device is fixed on the top of the chassis. The pushing device includes a pushing member that can be embedded in the first extrusion notch and the second extrusion notch at the same time, and a pushing cylinder for pushing the pushing member to move up and down.

[0018] The first extrusion member is a rectangular bar, the right side of the rectangular bar is inwardly concavely provided with a groove with a circular arc cross section, and the second extrusion member is a round shaft that can extend into the interior of the circular arc groove.

When the first extrusion member 31 and the second extrusion member 41 move toward each other, the coconut meat is pressed into the first extrusion member 31 by the second extrusion member 41, so as to achieve the effect of squeezing the coconut meat, squeeze out the excess water of the coconut meat, and leak out through the screen, and the squeezed coconut meat can be collected by moving the screen.

[0032] In this embodiment, the pusher 22 includes two racks 221 fixed to the bottom surface of the screen 21, a gear shaft 222 meshing with the two racks 221 through a gear, and a motor (not shown in the figure) transmission-connected to the gear shaft 222.
