Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to camellia fruit processing technology, specifically a camellia fruit sorting, processing, lifting and conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, the production of tea oil involves drying, sorting, pressing, filtering and refining the tea fruits. The sorting process includes a preliminary selection step, the main purpose of which is to separate the seed shells.

[0003] For example, the invention patent with application publication number CN120052556A, application publication date May 30, 2025, entitled "An Integrated Machine for Sorting, Kneading and Dehulling Fresh Camellia Fruit", includes a frame, control components, transmission components, sorting components, dehulling components, and screening components. After harvesting, fresh camellia fruit is fed into the sorting device through the feeding inlet. Through the conveying action of the auger, fresh fruit of different sizes enters the corresponding dehulling device. The dehulling device, through the belt rotation mechanism and rubber rollers, makes the skin of the fresh camellia fruit subject to kneading and tearing forces in different directions, so as to separate the fruit shell from the camellia seeds. The shell and seed mixture after dehulling in the screening mechanism enters the screening component through the feeding component. Under the action of the drum screen, the debris, camellia fruit shell, and camellia seeds are separated to facilitate the separation of camellia seeds from the fruit shell. After the camellia oleifera shell and seed mixture is sieved by the screening mechanism, the tea shell and tea seed are separated, which improves the sorting, shelling and screening efficiency of camellia oleifera fruit, reduces the labor intensity and cost of workers and improves work efficiency.

[0004] The shortcoming of the existing technology is that, in the initial selection step, a cylindrical screen can be used to crush the dried and cracked camellia fruit through collision while rotating, and the seed shells of the camellia fruit can be separated by impact. The tea seeds can then be collected for the subsequent air separation step. However, the dried tea fruit shells are light in texture and are prone to producing fibers and lint after crushing. These fibers and lint tend to adhere to the mesh structure of the cylindrical screen, leading to the problem of the cylindrical screen becoming clogged after a period of use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sorting, processing, lifting, and conveying device for camellia fruit to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a camellia fruit sorting, processing, lifting, and conveying device, comprising: The hoist has a screw installed inside; An inclined frame, the upper part of which is connected to the discharge port of the elevator; The sorting mechanism includes a sorting roller disposed within an inclined frame, an eccentric frame disposed between the roller and the roller, a coupling frame disposed within the inclined frame, and a cleaning angle disposed on the coupling frame for cleaning the eccentric frame.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the camellia fruit sorting, processing, lifting and conveying equipment provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: When the sorting drum is started, the eccentric frame drives the sorting drum to move along the eccentric trajectory (the eccentric trajectory is the trajectory of the arc-shaped coupling frame).

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-11 This invention provides a technical solution: a camellia fruit sorting, processing, lifting, and conveying device, comprising: Elevator 3 is an inclined tubular channel, which is fixed by a steel frame to maintain the inclined state. A screw rotates inside the tubular channel. The screw is driven by a motor to rotate to lift the camellia fruit. A discharge port 31 is opened on the tubular channel. The lifted camellia fruit is output from the discharge port 31 to the inclined frame 1. The inclined frame 1 has a support leg 11 fixed to its bottom by screws. The support leg 11 is made of cast iron to support the inclined frame 1 in an inclined position, so that the inclined frame 1 has a high position and a low position. The high position of the inclined frame 1 is connected to the discharge port 31 of the elevator 3 for feeding. The sorting mechanism 2 includes a sorting roller 21 disposed within an inclined frame 1. An eccentric frame 22 is disposed between the inclined frame 1 and the sorting roller 21. A fixing block 240 is disposed within the inclined frame 1. A coupling frame 24 is disposed on the fixing block 240. The coupling frame 24 is provided with a cleaning angle 242 for cleaning the eccentric frame 22. The portion of the eccentric frame 22 rotatably connected to the inclined frame 1 is connected to the output end of a motor in the outside. When the sorting roller 21 is started, the eccentric frame 22 drives the sorting roller 21 along... The eccentric trajectory (which is the trajectory of the arc-shaped coupling frame 24) moves, which increases the impact frequency on the dried camellia fruit, reduces the residue of tea seeds, and couples the coupling frame 24 as the sorting roller 21 moves along the eccentric trajectory. At this time, the cleaning angle 242 on the coupling frame 24 will insert into the gap of the sorting roller 21, thereby cleaning the sorting roller used for screening, reducing the adhesion of fibers and lint, and enabling long-term screening of camellia fruit.

[0022] like Figure 11As shown, the cleaning angle 242 can span two coupling frames 24 to clean the sorting roller 21, and the number of cleaning angles 242 is between 4 and 16.

[0023] In another embodiment of the present invention, the sorting roller 21 includes an inner support 23, on which elastic screen rollers 211 are arranged in a circumferential array. The elastic screen rollers 211 are "∩" shaped, with the top of the "∩" facing inward towards the sorting roller 21. The two sides of the elastic screen rollers 211 are coupled to the coupling frame 24 and open outward twice. When the sorting roller 21 is coupled to the coupling frame 24, the elastic screen rollers 211 will open outward, pulling the attached fibers and lint, making the attached fibers and lint loose. Then, when the camellia fruit hits, the loosened fibers and lint are more easily carried away by the camellia fruit shell, and it is also easier for the cleaning corner 242 to remove them. When the sorting roller 21 leaves the coupling frame 24, the two sides of the elastic screen rollers 211 will open outward again. The two outward openings increase the pulling force on the attached fibers and lint.

[0024] Preferably, the inner side of the elastic screen roller 211 is provided with an inner ring angle 2111, such as... Figure 10 As shown, an expansion foot 241 is provided between the two cleaning corners 242 of the coupling frame 24. When the elastic screen roller 211 is coupled to the coupling frame 24, the expansion foot 241 is inserted into the two inner ring corners 2111 to spread them open, thereby realizing the expansion of the elastic screen roller 211. When separating, the expansion foot 241 pushes open the two inner ring corners 2111 again to realize the repeated outward expansion of the elastic screen roller 211.

[0025] In another embodiment of the present invention, the eccentric frame 22 is rotatably connected to the inclined frame 1, and the inclined frame 1 is provided with a support platform 12. The support platform 12 is fixed to the eccentric frame 22 by an auxiliary bearing. The sorting roller 21 is rotatably connected to the eccentric frame 22 and can also rotate. When the sorting roller 21 is coupled with the coupling frame 24, it rotates, causing the camellia fruit to collide. The sorting roller 21 revolves around the eccentric frame 22 at the position of the support platform 12. The two rotations cause the camellia fruit to move more disorderly in the sorting roller 21, increasing the frequency of the camellia fruit collision.

[0026] Preferably, a collision pipe 25 is provided inside the sorting drum 21. The collision pipe 25 allows the camellia fruit to collide with the drum as it moves within the drum 21. The collision pipe 25 has circularly arranged arcuate grooves 251. Both ends of the collision pipe 25 can be connected to a suction unit (which can be a fan with a filter or a suction pump with a filter) via corrugated pipes, thus enabling suction during the operation of the sorting drum 21. The arcuate grooves 251 are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the outer groove is larger and the inner groove is smaller, so that debris and lint can be removed in advance during suction.

[0027] In another embodiment provided by the present invention, such as Figure 7As shown, a tea seed feeding platform 13 is provided at the bottom of the inclined frame 1, and a fruit shell feeding platform 14 is provided on the tea seed feeding platform 13. A baffle plate 142 corresponding to the coupling frame 24 is provided on the fruit shell feeding platform 14, so that the fruit shells after the seeds are removed inside the sorting roller 21 fall down from the fruit shell feeding platform 14 along the baffle plate 142 as the sorting roller 21 rotates and is collected. Meanwhile, the tea seeds screened by the elastic screen roller 211 are discharged from the tea seed feeding platform 13 along the feeding ramp 141 opened on the fruit shell feeding platform 14 and are collected.

[0028] In another embodiment of the present invention, a limiting mechanism 4 is also included, which includes a sliding baffle 41 slidably connected to the discharge port 31. As the sorting roller 21 moves along the arc of the coupling frame 24, it will have a high position and a low position. The sliding baffle 41 opens the discharge port 31 as the sorting roller 21 moves to the high position. At this time, the camellia fruit accumulated at the discharge port 31 enters the sorting roller 21 instead of continuously entering, which has the effect of intermittent feeding. This increases the number of camellia fruit entering the sorting roller 21 in one feeding step, and they can collide with each other under the drive of the sorting roller 21, thereby increasing the collision frequency.

[0029] Preferably, the sorting roller 21 is provided with limiting rings 212 on both sides, and the limiting rings 212 are provided with a plurality of limiting bosses 2121. The limiting bosses 2121 fix the elastic screen roller 211 on the sorting roller 21, so that there are no obstructions in the middle of the elastic screen roller 211, which facilitates the insertion of the expansion foot 241 and the outward expansion of the elastic screen roller 211. The sliding baffle 41 is provided with an extension slide plate 42, and the inclined frame 1 is provided with a feed inlet 51. The limiting ring 212 facing the feed inlet 51 is provided with an extension ring 213. The extension slide plate 42 slides in contact with the extension ring 213, and the limiting ring 212 pushes the sliding baffle 41 to slide along the vertical slide 311 opened on the discharge port 31.

[0030] In another embodiment of the present invention, an upper cover 5 is provided on the inclined frame 1 for use in the food processing process. In the open first processing site, the upper cover 5 can be fixed to the inclined frame 1 with screws to block dust and small flying insects and other impurities. The upper cover 5 is provided with a feed inlet 51.

[0031] During operation, the elevator 3 is first started, driving the screw to rotate and lift the camellia seeds to the discharge port 31 for accumulation. At this time, when the sorting drum 21 is driven to a high position by the eccentric frame 22, the extension ring 213 pushes against the sliding baffle 41 and slides along the vertical slide 311 opened on the discharge port 31 to open the discharge port 31. The camellia seeds enter the sorting drum 21 and are separated by collision during rotation. During the process, the cleaning angle 242 on the coupling frame 24 will insert into the gap of the sorting drum 21 to clean the sorting drum used for screening, and the foot 241 will also be opened. Two inner corners 2111 are inserted to expand the elastic screen roller 211. During separation, the expansion foot 241 pushes open the two inner corners 2111 again, allowing the elastic screen roller 211 to expand repeatedly. At this time, the tea seeds that are knocked out will enter the discharge ramp 141 on the fruit shell discharge platform 14 through the gap of the elastic screen roller 211 and be discharged from the tea seed discharge platform 13 for collection. The fruit shells after the seeds are removed from the sorting roller 21 fall down from the fruit shell discharge platform 14 along the baffle plate 142 as the sorting roller 21 rotates for collection.

[0032] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
