[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a device for shelling and processing Euryale ferox, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The equipment for shelling and processing water chestnuts drives the left rotating ring and the right rotating ring to rotate synchronously through the first motor, and then drives the left column and the right column to revolve around the axis of the left rotating ring and the right rotating ring, so as to automatically realize the positioning and conveying of water chestnuts, thereby facilitating the subsequent shelling of water chestnuts.

[0024] 2.

When the movable top block is about to make a circle, it will slide over the fixed top block, and the right column will drive the offset slider to slide downward in the third slide groove. When the right column slides downward, the outer shell on one side of the water chestnut will be subjected to a downward pulling force to simulate the manual shelling action, thereby preventing the outer shell of the water chestnut from being incompletely cut.

[0027] 5. The equipment for shelling water chestnut reduces the diameter of the cutting disc, so that the cutting disc will only cut the outer shell and basically will not cut through the outer shell. At this time, the subsequent simulated manual shelling action can separate the outer shell more completely, and its quality will be higher.

[0028] 6. The equipment for shelling the water chestnut drives two vertical plates to slide back and forth in the discharge port through a reciprocating slider. When the shelled water chestnuts enter the discharge port, the vertical plates on both sides will rub the wider water chestnuts, that is, the water chestnuts that have not been shelled, through strip blocks, so that the shells of the unshelled water chestnuts can be rubbed until they are opened, thereby ensuring that all water chestnuts are shelled as much as possible.

[0051] Embodiment three:

[0052] Reference Figure 3-Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 , which is basically the same as the second embodiment, and further, a specific implementation scheme for making the right column 7 automatically approach or move away from the left column 6 is specifically added.

[0053] The outer wall of the above-mentioned right turning ring 3 is provided with a second slide groove 21, and a slide table 22 is slidably installed in the second slide groove 21.

The two reciprocating screws 35 will drive the two reciprocating sliders 36 to slide back and forth, and the sliding directions are opposite, thereby driving the two vertical plates 33 to slide back and forth in the discharge port 5. When the shelled water chestnuts enter the discharge port 5, the vertical plates 33 on both sides will knead the wider water chestnuts, that is, the water chestnuts that have not been completely shelled, through the strip blocks 41, so that the shells of the unshelled water chestnuts can be kneaded until they are opened, thereby ensuring that all water chestnuts are shelled as much as possible.

[0061] The reciprocating slider 36 is slidably connected with a slide rod 37, the vertical plate 33 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 37, a fourth spring 38 is installed between the vertical plate 33 and the reciprocating slider 36, and bosses 40 are fixedly connected on both sides of the discharge port 5.

[0062] Specifically, when the two sides of the vertical plate 33 move to the inner walls on both sides close to the discharge port 5, the boss 40 will press the edge of the vertical plate 33, so that the two vertical plates 33 move away from each other and squeeze the fourth spring 38, so that the distance between the two vertical plates 33 will increase, which can prevent the water chestnuts from being stuck between the two vertical plates 33 and ensure the discharge efficiency. When the edges of the vertical plates 33 are away from the inner walls on both sides of the discharge port 5, the fourth spring 38 will drive the vertical plates 33 to move in the opposite direction and reset.

[0063] A method for shelling Euryale ferox, the operating steps are as follows:

[0064] Step 1: Screen out the gorgon seeds of similar size and throw them into the feed port 4 in sequence at the same interval;

[0066] Step 3: while rotating the left cylinder 6, cut a circle of grooves on the outer shell of the water chestnut;

[0067] Step 4: Apply downward pulling force to the shell of one side of the water chestnut;

[0068] Step 5: Keep the left cylinder 6 and the right cylinder 7 away from the water chestnut;

[0069] Step 6: Collect the Euryale ferox fruit and shell from the lower port of the discharge port 5.

[0070] When the present equipment for shelling and processing water chestnuts is in use, water chestnuts with shells are thrown into the feed port 4, and the water chestnuts will slide along the feed port 4 to the top of the left column 6 located directly below it, that is, into the concave hole 8 at the top of the left column 6. At this time, the first motor 12 is started, and the first motor 12 will drive one of the transmission shafts 10 to rotate, and drive the left rotating ring 2 and the right rotating ring 3 to rotate synchronously under the action of the mutually meshing transmission gear 11 and the driven gear 9, and then drive the left column 6 and the right column 7 to revolve around the axis of the left rotating ring 2 and the right rotating ring 3, so that the positioning and transportation of the water chestnuts can be automatically realized, thereby facilitating the subsequent shelling of the water chestnuts.

[0071] When the concave holes 8 on the left column 6 and the right column 7 are aligned with each other, the top plate 20 will press against the first push rod 19 and the second push rod 27, and the first push rod 19 will press the cutting device 17 toward the inner bottom of the first slide groove 16, so that the cutting device 17 will drive the cutting disk 30 to approach the gap between the left column 6 and the right column 7, and press against the water chestnut shell between the two, so that the automatic knife feeding work of the cutting disk 30 can be automatically completed, and the second push rod 27 will press the slide 22 in the direction away from the second spring 25, so that the right column 7 will be driven to move toward the left column 6, and finally the right column 7 will be pressed against the water chestnut shell through the concave hole 8. At this time, the cutting disc 30 is started, and the cutting disc 30 cuts the outer shell of the gorgon fruit. At the same time, the second motor 13 is started, and the second motor 13 drives the active gear 14 to rotate. The active gear 14 drives multiple left cylinders 6 to rotate synchronously through the passive gear 15, and the left cylinder 6 drives the gorgon fruit to rotate, so the cutting disc 30 cuts a circle of annular incisions on the outer wall of the gorgon fruit, which can automatically complete the shelling of the gorgon fruit and effectively ensure the integrity of the gorgon fruit, thereby making the gorgon fruit have good quality.

[0072] After the cutting is completed, the left rotating ring 2 and the right rotating ring 3 continue to rotate. When the concave holes 8 on the left column 6 and the right column 7 tilt downward, the cut water chestnuts and shells will automatically fall downward and eventually be discharged from the cover 1 from the discharge port 5 at the bottom. When the left column 6 rotates, the right column 7 will also rotate synchronously, and the right column 7 will drive the movable top block 32 of the outer wall to revolve around its axis. When the movable top block 32 is about to make a circle, it will slide over the fixed top block 31, and the fixed top block 31 will press the movable top block 32. The fixed top block 32 will drive the right column 7 to slide downward, and the right column 7 will drive the offset slider 24 to move in the third slide groove 23. When the movable top block 31 passes over the fixed top block 31, the third spring 26 will drive the offset slider 24 and the right column 7 to slide in the opposite direction and reset. When the right column 7 slides downward, the outer shell on one side of the water chestnut will be subjected to a downward pulling force to simulate the manual shell opening action, thereby preventing the outer shell of the water chestnut from being incompletely cut open. In another embodiment, in order to prevent the cutting disk 30 from cutting the water chestnut itself, the diameter of the cutting disk 30 can be reduced, so that the cutting disk 30 will only cut the outer shell and basically will not cut through the outer shell. At this time, the subsequent simulated manual shell opening action can separate the outer shell more completely, and its quality will be higher.

[0073] When the left column 6 and the right column 7 are out of the horizontal state, the first push rod 19 and the second push rod 27 are no longer pressed by the top plate 20, and the reset spring 28 and the return spring 29 will respectively drive the first push rod 19 and the second push rod 27 to reset, so that the cutting device 17 and the slide 22 are no longer pressed by the first push rod 19 and the second push rod 27, and the first spring 18 and the second spring 25 will respectively drive the cutting device 17 and the slide 22 to reset.

[0074] 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.
