Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultrafine grinding mill technology, specifically to an almond ultrafine grinding mill. Background Technology
[0002] Almonds are the seeds of the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) and related species, belonging to the genus Prunus in the family Rosaceae. They are flat and heart-shaped, ranging in color from yellowish-brown to dark brown. They are highly nutritious, rich in approximately 20-22 grams of protein per 100 grams, 45-50% fat (mostly unsaturated fatty acids), about 26 milligrams of vitamin E per 100 grams, and various B vitamins, as well as minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and potassium. Types of almonds include sweet almonds, which have a slightly sweet taste and can be eaten directly or used to make almond milk. They are widely used in food, nutritional supplements, and many other fields.
[0003] In almond processing, ultrafine mills are commonly used grinding and pulverizing equipment. Almonds themselves are highly oily, a characteristic that causes numerous problems during grinding. After almonds are ground in an ultrafine mill, the powder mixes with the oil they contain. Due to the adhesive effect of the oil, the almond powder easily forms a dough-like consistency and becomes sticky. This stickiness causes the ground material to adhere heavily to various components inside the mill during discharge, severely affecting the smooth flow of material and often resulting in intermittent and unsuccessful feeding. Furthermore, even after the difficult material collection process, an additional step is required: drying the collected almond powder. This drying process aims to reduce the oil content, transforming the sticky clumps into a dry powder to meet the requirements of subsequent production processes or product quality. However, this processing method is clearly cumbersome, requiring significant time and manpower, greatly reducing overall almond processing efficiency, increasing production costs, and hindering large-scale, efficient production of almond-related products. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention proposes an almond ultrafine mill, which solves the problems in related technologies where almonds are ground in an ultrafine mill, resulting in a sticky dough-like mixture of powder and oil, which adheres to the inside of the mill during discharge, affecting the smooth flow of material. After collection, the powder needs to be dried to reduce the oil content and form dry powder. This process is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, reduces processing efficiency, increases costs, and is not conducive to the large-scale and efficient production of almond-related products.

The housing serves as the basic framework of the entire processing device, providing stable support and installation space for other components. The grinding barrel is the key part for the initial grinding of almonds. After the almonds are conveyed into the grinding barrel through the feed pipe, they are gradually ground into fine granular material under the strong action of the grinding mechanism. Subsequently, these ground almond materials enter the unloading box and are further transferred to the subsequent processing stages. The drying mechanism plays a crucial role in this process. It efficiently dries the almond powder obtained after grinding using specific drying principles and techniques. During the drying process, the oil content in the almond powder is effectively reduced, and the almond powder, which may have been slightly sticky due to its oil content, gradually transforms into a dry powder. This not only facilitates the subsequent storage and packaging of the almond powder but also reduces the need for complex and tedious manual operations during the entire processing, making it more time-saving and labor-saving. The feeding mechanism ensures that the almonds can continuously, stably, and orderly enter each processing stage. Such smooth cooperation between the various components greatly improves the overall efficiency of almond processing, bringing significant production benefits and process optimization to the almond processing industry.

[0019] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment proposes an almond ultrafine grinder, including: a housing 1, a grinding barrel 2, a feed pipe 3, a discharge box 4, a grinding mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a feeding mechanism. The grinding barrel 2 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1, the feed pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, the bottom end of the feed pipe 3 is connected to the grinding barrel 2, and the discharge box 4 is fixedly connected to the grinding barrel 2 and is connected to the grinding barrel 2.
[0020] The grinding mechanism is installed inside the grinding barrel 2 and is used to grind almonds. The grinding mechanism includes a grinding shaft 5, a drive rod 6, and a first motor 7. One end of the grinding shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the grinding barrel 2, and one end of the drive rod 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the grinding shaft 5. The first motor 7 is installed on the grinding barrel 2, and the output end of the first motor 7 passes through the grinding barrel 2 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive rod 6. Specifically, the first motor 7 installed on the grinding barrel 2 drives the grinding shaft 5 to rotate. When the grinding shaft 5 rotates, it cooperates with the inner wall of the grinding barrel 2 to grind and crush the almonds.
[0021] The drying mechanism is located inside the feeding box 4 and is used to dry the ground almonds. The drying mechanism includes: a support plate 8, resistance bars 9, a heater 10, heating tubes 11, a pushing assembly, a crushing assembly, a driving assembly, and a blowing assembly. The feeding box 4 has a sliding groove, in which the support plate 8 is slidably connected. Multiple resistance bars 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 8. The inner wall of the sliding groove has grooves matching the resistance bars 9. The heater 10 is installed on one side of the support plate 8, which has multiple through holes, each containing a heating tube 11 fixedly connected to one end of the heating tube 11. The pushing assembly is located on the feeding box 4 and is used to drive the support plate 8 to move. The crushing assembly is located inside the feeding box 4 and is used to flatten and crush the almonds. The driving assembly is located inside the grinding barrel 2 and is used to drive the crushing assembly to move. There are two blowing assemblies, both located on the feeding box 4, for drying the almond powder. The pushing assembly includes: a fixed frame 12, a push plate 13, and a first electric cylinder 14. Two guide rods 28 are fixedly connected to the push plate 13. Two sliding holes are opened on the fixed frame 12, and the two guide rods 28 are slidably connected in the two sliding holes respectively. The fixed frame 12 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 4. The push plate 13 is installed on one side of the heater 10 and is slidably connected to the fixed frame 12. The first electric cylinder 14 is installed on the fixed frame 12, and the output end of the first electric cylinder 14 passes through the fixed frame 12 and... The grinding assembly, fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 13, includes: a rotating ring 15, a slide cylinder 16, a slide rod 17, a support spring 18, and a grinding plate 19. Two stabilizing frames 29 are fixedly connected inside the grinding barrel 2. The rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected to the two stabilizing frames 29 and is rotatably connected inside the grinding barrel 2. The slide cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating ring 15. The slide rod 17 is slidably connected inside the slide cylinder 16. The support spring 18 is disposed inside the slide cylinder 16, with its two ends fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide cylinder 16 and the top end of the slide rod 17, respectively. The grinding plate 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the slide rod 17. The driving assembly includes: a drive plate 20, a drive frame 21, and a second motor 22. The drive plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating ring 15, and the drive plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating ring 15. A groove is provided on the grinding barrel 2. The drive frame 21 is rotatably connected to the grinding barrel 2. One end of the drive frame 21 rotates and is slidably connected in the groove. The second motor 22 is installed on the grinding barrel 2. The output end of the second motor 22 passes through the grinding barrel 2 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive frame 21. The blowing assembly includes an air inlet box 23 and a blower 24. The air inlet box 23 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 4 and communicates with the feeding box 4. The blower 24 is installed in the air inlet box 23, and the output end of the blower 24 faces the support plate 8. Specifically, when the dough-like almond powder falls onto the support plate 8, the second motor 22 on the grinding barrel 2 drives the drive frame 21 to rotate. When the drive frame 21 rotates, it causes the drive plate 20 to swing around the center point of the rotating ring 15.This causes the sliding cylinder 16 and sliding rod 17 to swing. As the sliding rod 17 swings, it causes the crushing plate 19 to move repeatedly on the support plate 8. During the movement of the crushing plate 19, the support spring 18 inside the sliding cylinder 16 supports the sliding rod 17, ensuring that the crushing plate 19 remains in contact with the support plate 8. This allows the dough-like almond powder to be spread evenly on the support plate 8. Then, the heater 10 and heating pipe 11 heat the support plate 8 and the almond powder, while the fan 24 blows air through the almond powder, reducing its oiliness. After the oiliness is reduced, the crushing plate 19 continues to swing, crushing the almond powder spread on the support plate 8. The crushed almond powder falls through the through-holes in the support plate 8. After the almond processing is complete, the first electric cylinder 14 on the fixed frame 12 moves the push plate and support plate 8, causing the support plate 8 to move out of the feeding box 4. As the support plate 8 moves within the chute, the edge of the chute scrapes off any remaining almond powder on the support plate 8.
[0022] The feeding mechanism is located inside the feeding pipe 3 and is used to feed almonds. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding paddle 25, a third motor 26, and a feeding hopper 27. The feeding paddle 25 is rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe 3. The third motor 26 is installed at the top of the feeding pipe 3. The output end of the third motor 26 passes through the feeding pipe 3 and is fixedly connected to the feeding paddle 25. The feeding hopper 27 is connected to the feeding pipe 3. Specifically, almonds are poured into the feeding hopper 27. The almonds in the hopper then enter the feeding pipe 3 again. The third motor 26 drives the feeding paddle 25 to rotate, thereby stably conveying the almonds into the grinding barrel 2.
[0023] In this embodiment, when grinding almonds, almonds are poured into the feed hopper 27. The almonds in the hopper then enter the feed pipe 3. The third motor 26 drives the feed paddle 25 to rotate, thereby stably conveying the almonds into the grinding barrel 2. The first motor 7 on the grinding barrel 2 drives the grinding shaft 5 to rotate. When the grinding shaft 5 rotates, it cooperates with the inner wall of the grinding barrel 2, thereby grinding and crushing the almonds. The crushed almonds fall onto the support plate 8. After the dough-like almond powder falls onto the support plate 8, the second motor 22 on the grinding barrel 2 drives the drive frame 21 to rotate. When the drive frame 21 rotates, it causes the drive plate 20 to swing around the center point of the rotating ring 15, which in turn causes the slide cylinder 16 and the slide rod 17 to swing. When the slide rod 17 swings, it causes the crushing plate 19 to move repeatedly on the support plate 8. When the pressing plate 19 moves, the sliding rod 17 is supported by the support spring 18 in the sliding cylinder 16, so that the pressing plate 19 is always in contact with the support plate 8, and the dough-like almond powder is spread evenly on the support plate 8. Then, the support plate 8 and almond powder are heated by the heater 10 and the heating pipe 11, and the almond powder is blown by the fan 24, thereby reducing the oiliness of the almond powder. After the oiliness is reduced, the pressing plate 19 continues to swing, thereby crushing the almond powder spread on the support plate 8. The crushed almond powder falls through the through hole opened on the support plate 8. After the almond processing is completed, the first electric cylinder 14 set on the fixed frame 12 drives the push plate and the support plate 8 to move, thereby moving the support plate 8 out of the feeding box 4. When the support plate 8 moves in the chute, the edge of the chute scrapes off the almond powder remaining on the support plate 8.
[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
