Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of almond processing technology, and in particular to an almond shelling and peeling device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Almond kernels are the seeds of the apricot tree (Alpinia spp.), belonging to the Rosaceae family. They are divided into sweet and bitter varieties, primarily containing protein, fat, sugar, and trace amounts of amygdalin. The fat composition mainly consists of oleic acid and linoleic acid. Almonds grow on short spurs and have an immature appearance. When the fruit matures, its green outer shell splits open, revealing the kernel encased in a rough outer shell. The kernel is yellow with many small holes, and the outer shell is hard and woody. Almonds are flat and oval-shaped, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, covered with a thin brown skin. The kernel contains 20% protein and no starch. After grinding and pressing, the extracted oil is about half its weight in kernel oil. Almond oil is pale yellow and, although odorless, has skin-softening and beautifying effects.

[0003] Almonds need to be shelled and peeled before consumption or other uses. However, existing equipment separates shelling and peeling, which cannot be done in one step, wasting time and money. In addition, traditional almond shelling machines mostly use vertical knocking to remove the shells, which causes some almonds to be moved to the next step before being shelled, resulting in waste. Furthermore, traditional almond peeling only involves soaking, which results in incomplete peeling.

[0004] Therefore, an almond shelling and peeling device and method are needed. This device can shell almonds by repeatedly turning and pounding the shells during the shelling process to ensure that the shells are completely crushed, effectively reducing the rate of shell breakage. The device can also screen the shelled almonds, removing the shells and smaller impurities to ensure the purity of the almonds. Furthermore, the device can soak and dry the shelled almonds to prepare them for peeling, thereby increasing the peeling rate. Finally, the device can rub and knead the dried almonds to completely remove the skin, achieving efficient almond peeling. Summary of the Invention

[0018] A method for shelling and peeling almonds, using an almond shelling and peeling device, is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0019] S1: Before shelling the almonds, the almonds to be shelled are first manually placed into two feeding boxes. Then, the two-way screw assembly I works, driving the two cylinders to move inward simultaneously. The upper ends of the two cylinders drive the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feeding boxes to move inward. At this time, the inner sides of the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feeding boxes contact the outer sides of the two arc plates, causing the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feeding boxes to bend in an arc, ensuring that the almonds in the feeding boxes are smoothly placed into the cylinders from the telescopic tubes. When the gears on the two material distribution column shafts inside the two cylinders move to mesh with the long rack on the front side of the horizontal plate, the gears on the shafts of the two material distribution columns rotate, thereby driving the material distribution columns to rotate. The rotating material distribution columns pick up the almonds in the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the feeding boxes and rotate them to the discharge port at the lower end of the cylinder. At this time, the almonds are placed downward along the discharge port at the lower end of the cylinder and spread flat on the upper surface of the support plate.

[0020] S2: When shelling almonds, electric cylinder II operates, driving the striking plate on its telescopic rod to move up and down. When the striking plate moves downward and contacts the almonds on the support plate, it can crush the almond shells. After the first crushing, electric cylinder I operates. The piston rod end of electric cylinder I pushes the two clamps to move outward simultaneously through the connecting rod, so that the U-shaped clamps at the front end of the two clamps are released from the restriction of the support plate. Then, the piston rod end of electric cylinder I continues to move upward, driving the small rack to mesh with the gear on the shaft of the support plate. Electric cylinder I drives the small rack to move upward repeatedly for a certain distance and then downward. The small rack drives the support plate to rotate left and right slightly. The almonds on the support plate will flip over as the support plate rotates. At this time, the springs on the back of the two blocking plates push the two blocking plates to always contact the two sides of the support plate, ensuring that the almonds on the support plate will not fall off when flipping. After the flipping is completed, electric cylinder II operates again. The striking plate at the piston rod end of electric cylinder II crushes the almond shells on the support plate again. This shelling is repeated multiple times, effectively reducing the defect rate of almond shelling.

[0021] S3: When the shelled almonds are removed from the operating box, the electric cylinder I drives the small rack to move upward. At this time, the small rack drives the support plate to tilt until it tilts to the side of the left baffle plate and contacts the outside of the baffle. At this time, the baffle plate no longer pushes against the left side of the support plate. When the support plate tilts again, all the shelled almonds on it can be put into the screening box.

[0022] S4: When screening the shelled almonds, the shelled almonds fall onto the upper end of the upper inclined plate. Then, motor I starts and drives the round rod to rotate. The round rod drives the cam on it to rotate, and the cam on the round rod pushes the screening box to move left and right. At this time, the larger filter holes on the upper inclined plate allow the shelled almonds and smaller impurities to fall through, filtering out the larger almond shells. The almond shells move out of the screening box along the upper inclined plate. The smaller filter holes on the lower inclined plate allow the smaller impurities to fall through and move out of the equipment from the lower end of the screening box. The almonds move out from the side outlet of the screening box along the lower inclined plate and fall into the water storage box.

[0023] S5: When soaking almonds after shelling, the lower inclined plate puts the almonds into the water storage box. All the almonds fall onto the upper surface of the filter plate for soaking, causing the skin on the almonds to expand. At this time, some of the skin on the almonds will separate from the almond kernel, while some will still be attached to the almond kernel. After soaking, the screw and slider assembly works, which drives the filter plate to move upward, so that the upper surface of the filter plate is flush with the upper surface of the water storage box. Then, the bidirectional screw assembly II works, which drives the two push plates to move from the middle to both sides at the same time. At this time, the two push plates push the almonds on the filter plate out of the water storage box along the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box.

[0024] S6: When drying and transferring almonds, the soaked almonds enter the two drying conveyors along the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box. The two drying conveyors dry the wet almonds and transfer them, so that the dried almonds are placed on the two conveyor belts respectively.

[0025] S7: When peeling the dried almonds, firstly, two conveyor belts operate, moving the almonds on them to the two circular frames. Then, motor II starts, driving a vertical rod to rotate, which in turn drives two sets of vertical rods to rotate. The vertical rods drive a long rod to move above the circular frames, and the long rod drives a large gear to rotate and move inside the circular frames. The stirring rod at the lower end of the large gear contacts the almonds on the conveyor belts and rubs the skin off the almonds, causing the skin to completely detach. Then, electric cylinder III operates, driving the bidirectional baffle to move upward, opening the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes. At this time, the two conveyor belts operate again, causing the almonds on the two conveyor belts to fall from the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes respectively. Then, the blower starts, blowing away the almond skin that has been rubbed off, causing the peeled almonds to fall into the collection box for collection.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0027] 1. This invention uses larger filter holes on the upper inclined plate to allow the crushed almonds and smaller impurities to pass through, filtering out the larger almond shells. The almond shells then move out of the screening box along the upper inclined plate. Smaller filter holes on the lower inclined plate allow smaller impurities to pass through and exit the device from the lower outlet of the screening box. The almonds then move out of the screening box from the side outlet along the lower inclined plate and fall into the water storage box, thus achieving automatic separation and screening of almonds.

[0028] 2. This invention operates through a screw and slider assembly, which drives the filter plate to move upward, making the upper surface of the filter plate flush with the upper surface of the water storage box. Then, the bidirectional screw assembly II operates, driving two push plates to move simultaneously from the middle to both sides. At this time, the two push plates push the almonds on the filter plate out of the water storage box along the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box, saving manpower.

[0029] 3. In this invention, the electric cylinder III operates, driving the bidirectional baffle to move upward, opening the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes. At this time, the two conveyor belts start working again, causing the almonds on the two conveyor belts to fall from the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes respectively. Then, the blower starts, blowing away the almond skins that have been rubbed off, thus achieving almond peeling. Attached Figure Description

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, the shell-breaking mechanism 1 also includes: a horizontal plate 102, a bidirectional lead screw assembly I 103, a feed box 104, a cylinder 105, and a distribution column 106; the horizontal plate 102 is fixedly installed on the front side of the operation box 107, the inner side of the horizontal plate 102 is provided with a groove, and a long rack is fixedly installed on the outer side of the horizontal plate 102; the bidirectional lead screw assembly I 103 includes a frame, a lead screw, a motor, and two sliders, the frame is fixedly installed on the first bracket 101, the lead screw is rotatably installed in the frame, the lead screw has threads in opposite directions from the middle to both ends, and the motor is fixedly installed on the first bracket 101.

The lower outlet of the two feed boxes 104 is connected to a telescopic tube, and the lower end of the telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the upper inlet of the two cylinders 105.

Two cylinders 105 are slidably mounted on one side in the inner groove of the horizontal plate 102. The other side of the two cylinders 105 is fixedly connected to the sides of two sliders in the bidirectional lead screw assembly I 103. When the bidirectional lead screw assembly I 103 starts and drives the two cylinders 105 to move inward simultaneously, the upper ends of the two cylinders 105 respectively drive the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes 104 to move inward. At this time, the inner sides of the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes 104 respectively contact the outer sides of the two arc-shaped plates 113, so that the two feed boxes... The telescopic tube at the lower end of the feed box 104 has an arc bend to ensure that the almonds in the feed box 104 can be smoothly fed into the cylinder 105 from the telescopic tube. There are two distributing columns 106, which are rotatably installed in the two cylinders 105 respectively. A gear is fixedly installed on the side shaft of the distributing column 106. This gear intermittently meshes with the long rack on the outside of the horizontal plate 102. The rotation of the distributing column 106 can pick up the almonds in the telescopic tube at the lower end of the feed box 104 and then rotate and put them into the discharge port at the lower end of the cylinder 105.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the sorting mechanism 2 also includes a round rod 206 and a motor I 207; the round rod 206 is rotatably installed in a round hole on the second bracket 201; the motor I 207 is fixedly installed on the second bracket 201, and its motor shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the round rod 206; specifically, when the motor I 207 is started, it drives the round rod 206 to rotate, the round rod 206 drives the cam on it to rotate, and the cam on the round rod 206 pushes the screening box 203 to move left and right to screen the almonds after shelling;

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, a cam is fixedly installed on the round rod 206, and the cam contacts the side of the screening box 203;

[0057] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the soaking mechanism 3 also includes a drying conveyor 306; there are two drying conveyors 306, which are fixedly installed in a predetermined installation area on the ground. The two drying conveyors 306 are located on both sides of the water storage box 301, and the inlets of the two drying conveyors 306 are respectively located below the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box 301. The drying conveyors 306 can dry the wet almonds that are moved into them and transfer the almonds. The lower discharge ports of the drying conveyors 306 are respectively located above the two conveyor belts 402.

[0058] like Figure 13 As shown, the peeling mechanism 4 also includes: a collection box 409, a blower 410, an electric cylinder 411, and a two-way baffle 412; the collection box 409 is placed on the ground and is located at the inner end outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401, and is used to collect the peeled almonds; the blower 410 is fixedly installed on the ground, and the air outlet of the blower 410 is aligned with the lower position of the inner end outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401. When the almonds are transferred by the two conveyor belts 402 and from the two auxiliary boxes 401, the blower 410 is used to collect the peeled almonds. When the inner end of 1 falls into the collection box 409, the blower 410 works to blow away the almond skins that have been rubbed off; the bidirectional baffle 412 is slidably installed at the inner end outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401; the cylinder body of the electric cylinder III 411 is fixedly installed on the side of the water storage box 301, and the piston rod end of the electric cylinder III 411 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional baffle 412; specifically, when the electric cylinder III 411 works, it drives the bidirectional baffle 412 to move up and down, and the bidirectional baffle 412 opens and closes the inner end outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401.

[0059] This embodiment provides a method for shelling and peeling almonds, which uses the equipment described in the embodiment and includes the following steps: The equipment can shell almonds by repeatedly turning and pounding the almond shells during shelling to ensure that the almond shells are completely broken, effectively reducing the rate of unqualified shells; The equipment can screen the shelled almonds to remove almond shells and smaller impurities from the equipment to ensure the purity of the almonds; The equipment can soak and dry the shelled almonds to prepare for peeling and improve the peeling rate; The equipment can rub and knead the dried almonds to completely remove the almond skin, achieving efficient peeling of almonds;

[0060] Before shelling the almonds, the almonds to be shelled are first manually placed into the two feed boxes 104. Then, the bidirectional lead screw assembly I 103 operates, driving the two cylinders 105 to move inward simultaneously. The upper ends of the two cylinders 105 respectively drive the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes 104 to move inward. At this time, the inner sides of the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes 104 respectively contact the outer sides of the two arc-shaped plates 113, causing the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes 104 to bend at an arc, ensuring that the almonds in the feed boxes 104 are expelled through the telescopic tubes. The almonds are smoothly lowered into the cylinder 105. When the gears on the shafts of the two cylinders 105 move to mesh with the long rack on the front side of the horizontal plate 102, the gears on the shafts of the two material distribution columns 106 rotate, thereby driving the material distribution columns 106 to rotate. The rotating material distribution columns 106 take the almonds from the telescopic tube at the lower end of the feeding box 104 and rotate to put them into the lower end outlet of the cylinder 105. At this time, the almonds are put down along the lower end outlet of the cylinder 105 and spread flat on the upper surface of the support plate 109.

[0061] When shelling almonds, electric cylinder II 114 operates, causing the striking plate on its telescopic rod to move up and down. When the striking plate moves downward and contacts the almonds on the support plate 109, it crushes the almond shells. After the first crushing, electric cylinder I 111 operates. The piston rod end of electric cylinder I 111 pushes the two clamps 110 to move outward simultaneously via a connecting rod, causing the U-shaped clamps at the front ends of the two clamps 110 to disengage from the support plate 109. Then, the piston rod end of electric cylinder I 111 continues to move upward, causing the small rack 112 to mesh with the gear on the shaft of the support plate 109. Electric cylinder I 111 then drives the small rack 112 to repeatedly move upward and downward. After moving upwards for a certain distance, it moves downwards. The small rack 112 then drives the support plate 109 to rotate slightly left and right. The almonds on the support plate 109 will flip over as the support plate 109 rotates. At this time, the springs on the back of the two blocking plates 108 push the two blocking plates 108 to always contact the two sides of the support plate 109, ensuring that the almonds on the support plate 109 will not fall off when they are flipped. After the almonds are flipped, the electric cylinder II 114 works again. The striking plate at the piston rod end of the electric cylinder II 114 smashes the almond shells on the support plate 109 again. This process of breaking the shells multiple times effectively reduces the defect rate of almonds with broken shells.

[0062] When the shelled almonds are removed from the operation box 107, the electric cylinder I 111 drives the small rack 112 to move upward. At this time, the small rack 112 drives the support plate 109 to tilt until the side of the left baffle plate 108 contacts the outside of the baffle 115. At this time, the baffle plate 108 no longer pushes against the left side of the support plate 109. When the support plate 109 tilts again, all the shelled almonds on it can be put into the screening box 203.

[0063] When screening the shelled almonds, the shelled almonds fall onto the upper end of the upper inclined plate 204. Then, the motor I 207 starts, driving the round rod 206 to rotate. The round rod 206 drives the cam on it to rotate, and the cam on the round rod 206 pushes the screening box 203 to move left and right. At this time, the larger filter holes on the upper inclined plate 204 allow the shelled almonds and smaller impurities to pass through, filtering out the larger almond shells. The almond shells move out of the screening box 203 along the upper inclined plate 204. The smaller filter holes on the lower inclined plate 205 allow smaller impurities to pass through and move out of the equipment from the lower end of the screening box 203. The almonds move out from the side outlet of the screening box 203 along the lower inclined plate 205. The removed almonds fall into the water storage box 301.

[0064] When soaking almonds after shelling, the lower inclined plate 205 puts the almonds into the water storage box 301. All the almonds fall onto the upper surface of the filter plate 303 for soaking, causing the skin on the almonds to swell. At this time, some of the skin on the almonds will detach from the almond kernel, while some will still be attached to the almond kernel. After soaking, the screw and slider assembly 302 works, driving the filter plate 303 to move upward, so that the upper surface of the filter plate 303 is flush with the upper surface of the water storage box 301. Then, the bidirectional screw assembly II 304 works, driving the two push plates 305 to move from the middle to both sides at the same time. At this time, the two push plates 305 push the almonds on the filter plate 303 out of the water storage box 301 along the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box 301.

[0065] When drying and transferring almonds, the soaked almonds enter the two drying conveyors 306 through the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box 301. The two drying conveyors 306 dry the wet almonds and transfer them, so that the dried almonds are placed on the two conveyor belts 402 respectively.

[0066] During the peeling process of dried almonds, firstly, two conveyor belts 402 operate, moving the almonds on them to two annular frames 403 for placement. Then, motor II 408 starts, driving one vertical rod 404 to rotate, which in turn drives two sets of vertical rods 404 to rotate. The vertical rods 404 drive a long rod 406 to move above the annular frames 403. The long rod 406 drives a large gear 407 to rotate and move inside the annular frames 403. The stirring rod at the lower end of the large gear 407 contacts the almonds on the conveyor belts 402 and agitates the almonds. The skin on the almonds is rubbed off completely. Then, the electric cylinder III 411 works, driving the bidirectional baffle 412 to move upward, so that the bidirectional baffle 412 opens the inner outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401. At this time, the two conveyor belts 402 work again, driving the almonds on the two conveyor belts 402 to fall from the inner outlet of the two auxiliary boxes 401 respectively. At this time, the blower 410 starts, blowing away the almond skin that has been rubbed off, so that the peeled almonds fall into the collection box 409 for collection.

[0067] In this way, the entire process of shelling and peeling almonds can be completed, saving manpower, improving work efficiency, and ensuring the shelling and peeling rate of almonds.

[0068] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

A method for shelling and peeling almonds, using the almond shelling and peeling equipment according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: Before shelling the almonds, the almonds to be shelled are first manually placed into the two feed boxes (104). Then, the bidirectional screw assembly I (103) works, driving the two cylinders (105) to move inward simultaneously. The upper ends of the two cylinders (105) respectively drive the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes (104) to move inward. At this time, the inner sides of the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes (104) respectively contact the outer sides of the two arc plates (113), so that the telescopic tubes at the lower ends of the two feed boxes (104) have an arc bend, ensuring that the almonds in the feed boxes (104) are fed out through the telescopic tubes. The almonds are smoothly lowered into the cylinder (105). When the gears on the shafts of the two cylinders (105) move to mesh with the long rack on the front side of the horizontal plate (102), the gears on the shafts of the two material distribution columns (106) rotate, thereby driving the material distribution columns (106) to rotate.

At this time, the almonds are put down along the lower end outlet of the cylinder (105) and spread flat on the upper surface of the support plate (109). S2: When shelling almonds, electric cylinder II (114) operates, causing the striking plate on its telescopic rod to move up and down. When the striking plate moves downward and contacts the almonds on the support plate (109), it can crush the almond shells. After the first crushing, electric cylinder I (111) operates. The piston rod end of electric cylinder I (111) pushes the two clamps (110) to move outward simultaneously through the connecting rod, so that the U-shaped clamps at the front end of the two clamps (110) are released from the restriction of the support plate (109). Then, the piston rod end of electric cylinder I (111) continues to move upward, causing the small rack (112) to mesh with the gear on the shaft of the support plate (109). Electric cylinder I (111) then drives the small rack (112). After repeatedly moving upwards for a certain distance and then downwards, the small rack (112) drives the support plate (109) to repeatedly rotate left and right in small amplitudes. The almonds on the support plate (109) will be flipped over as the support plate (109) rotates. At this time, the springs on the back of the two blocking plates (108) push the two blocking plates (108) to always contact the two sides of the support plate (109), ensuring that the almonds on the support plate (109) will not fall off when they are flipped. After the flipping is completed, the electric cylinder II (114) works again. The hammer plate at the piston rod end of the electric cylinder II (114) smashes the almond shells on the support plate (109) again. This process of breaking the shells multiple times effectively reduces the failure rate of almond shells. S3: When the shelled almonds are removed from the operating box (107), the electric cylinder I (111) drives the small rack (112) to move upward. At this time, the small rack (112) drives the support plate (109) to tilt until it tilts to the side of the left baffle plate (108) and contacts the outside of the baffle (115). At this time, the baffle plate (108) no longer pushes against the left side of the support plate (109). When the support plate (109) tilts again, all the shelled almonds on it can be put into the screening box (203). S4: When screening the shelled almonds, the shelled almonds fall onto the upper surface of the upper inclined plate (204). Then, the motor I (207) starts and drives the round rod (206) to rotate. The round rod (206) drives the cam on it to rotate. The cam on the round rod (206) pushes the screening box (203) to move left and right. At this time, the larger filter holes on the upper inclined plate (204) allow the shelled almonds and smaller impurities to fall through, filtering out the larger almond shells. The almond shells move out of the screening box (203) along the upper inclined plate (204). The smaller filter holes on the lower inclined plate (205) allow the smaller impurities to fall through and move out of the equipment from the lower end of the screening box (203). The almonds move out from the side outlet of the screening box (203) along the lower inclined plate (205). The removed almonds fall into the water storage box (301). S5: When soaking almonds after shelling, the lower inclined plate (205) puts the almonds into the water storage box (301). All these almonds fall onto the upper surface of the filter plate (303) for soaking, causing the skin on the almonds to swell. At this time, some of the skin on the almonds will detach from the almond pulp, while some will still adhere to the almond pulp. After soaking, the screw and slider assembly (302) works, driving the filter plate (303) to move upward, so that the upper surface of the filter plate (303) is flush with the upper surface of the water storage box (301). Then, the bidirectional screw assembly II (304) works, driving the two push plates (305) to move simultaneously from the middle to both sides. At this time, the two push plates (305) push the almonds on the filter plate (303) out of the water storage box (301) along the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box (301). S6: When drying and transferring almonds, the soaked almonds enter the two drying conveyors (306) through the auxiliary discharge plates on both sides of the water storage box (301). The two drying conveyors (306) dry the wet almonds and transfer them, so that the dried almonds are placed on the two conveyor belts (402) respectively. S7: When peeling the dried almonds, firstly, the two conveyor belts (402) work, moving the almonds on them to below the two annular frames (403). Then, motor II (408) starts, driving a vertical rod (404) to rotate, which in turn drives the two sets of vertical rods (404) to rotate. The vertical rod (404) drives the long rod (406) to move above the annular frame (403). The long rod (406) drives the large gear (407) to rotate and move inside the annular frame (403). The stirring rod at the lower end of the large gear (407) contacts the almonds on the conveyor belts (402) and rubs the skin on the almonds, causing the skin on the almonds to completely detach. Then, electric cylinder III (411) works, driving the bidirectional baffle (412). Move upwards so that the bidirectional baffle (412) opens the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes (401). At this time, the two conveyor belts (402) start working again, causing the almonds on the two conveyor belts (402) to fall from the inner outlets of the two auxiliary boxes (401). At this time, the blower (410) starts and blows away the almond skins that have been rubbed off, so that the peeled almonds fall into the collection box (409) for collection.
