Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a nut shelling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Nuts are a type of indehiscent fruit with a hard shell and containing one or more seeds, such as chestnuts and almonds. Nuts are the essence of plants and are generally rich in nutrients, containing high levels of protein, oil, minerals, and vitamins. They have excellent effects on human growth and development, strengthening the body, and preventing diseases, and are plant fruits that people often eat in their daily lives.

[0003] Therefore, pliers are an essential tool for households to crack open nuts and remove the kernels. However, nut shells are hard and difficult to open, and nuts come in various sizes. It is very inconvenient for most households to have nut pliers of all sizes. For farmers with small nut cultivation, shelling batches of nuts is even more inefficient. Traditional shelling methods involve manual methods such as knocking, smashing, and stomping, which are labor-intensive and inefficient. Nut shelling machines have evolved from manual to electromechanical systems. Generally, nut shelling devices apply positive pressure directly to the nuts, breaking the shells and kernels simultaneously, resulting in a low kernel integrity rate. In addition, most shelling machines on the market are only designed for a specific type of nut.

[0004] Therefore, a nut shelling machine is proposed to address the current shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide a nut shelling machine.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is a nut shelling machine, comprising a casing, a spinning roller, and a fan;

[0007] The machine casing has a vertically arranged shell-breaking chamber at one end. The top of the machine casing has a funnel-shaped chute connected to the shell-breaking chamber. The lower part of the shell-breaking chamber has a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the spinning roller via a coupling. The bottom of the shell-breaking chamber has a discharge port. The machine casing has an outlet chute that slopes downward at the discharge port. The other end of the outlet chute is connected to a nut bin. A fan is located on the bottom side of the outlet chute near the nut bin. An adjustable baffle plate is located above the nut bin inside the machine casing. A collection net is located on the side of the machine casing away from the fan from the adjustable baffle plate.

[0008] A controller is located at the other end of the upper part of the casing. A multi-functional panel is located on the upper front side of the casing. A switch is located on the upper part of the casing. The multi-functional panel, drive motor, and fan are all connected to the controller.

[0009] As an improvement, a socket is also included, located on the upper front side of the housing, and the socket is electrically connected to the controller.

[0010] As an improvement, the rolling pin is located in the upper part of the shell-breaking chamber and near the funnel-shaped slide.

[0011] As an improvement, the adjustable partition plate has an inverted V-shaped structure. The adjustable partition plate includes a sliding plate and a baffle plate hinged to the sliding plate. The lower end of the baffle plate is located at the end of the outlet slide near the nut bin, and there is a certain distance between the lower end of the baffle plate and the outlet slide.

[0012] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0013] 1. The shelled nuts are crushed by the roller inside the shell-breaking chamber, and the shells are separated from the kernels by the inclined fan at the outlet chute at the bottom.

[0014] 2. The adjustable separator can be adjusted according to the actual separation of the shell and kernel to achieve the best separation effect;

[0015] 3. The use of a spinning roller can reduce the breakage of nuts and ensure their integrity. In addition, the collection net can be used to collect the shells, thus separating the nuts from the shells.

[0016] 4. This shelling machine has a simple structure and good implementation effect, which can greatly improve the separation efficiency of nut shells; at the same time, by setting different crushing modes for different nuts, it can meet the diverse needs of its use. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the invention, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] In the description of the embodiments of the invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," or "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of the invention is in use, they are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the invention. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and "third" are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" does not imply that the component must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0022] In the description of the embodiments of the invention, "a plurality of" means at least two.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of the invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Combined with appendix Figure 1 As shown, a nut shelling machine includes a casing 1, a spinning roller 2, and a fan 3;

[0025] The shell-breaking chamber 4 is vertically provided at one end inside the housing 1. Specifically, the bottom of the shell-breaking chamber 4 extends to the lower part of the housing 1. The structural shape of the shell-breaking chamber 4 is set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the shell-breaking chamber 4 is circular and is coaxially arranged with the roller 2. At the same time, the diameter of the shell-breaking chamber 4 is larger than the diameter of the roller 2.

[0026] Meanwhile, in actual implementation, protrusions can be set on the inner circumference of the shell-breaking chamber 4 to cooperate with the swing roller 2 to improve the separation effect of the kernel and shell of the nut;

[0027] The top of the casing 1 is provided with a funnel-shaped slide 5 that is connected to the shelling chamber 4. The bottom of the funnel-shaped slide 5 is connected to the top of the shelling chamber 4. The funnel-shaped slide 5 is designed to facilitate the placement of nuts to be shelled, and also to facilitate the automatic entry of nuts into the shelling chamber 4 through the funnel-shaped slide 5, without the need to manually put the nuts into the shelling chamber 4 again.

[0028] The lower part of the shell-breaking chamber 4 is equipped with a drive motor 6. Specifically, the drive motor 6 is connected to the shell-breaking chamber 4 in a frame-like manner to avoid clogging the nuts after they have passed through the spinning roller 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the spinning roller 2 through a coupling 7 to facilitate the inspection and replacement of the spinning roller 2.

[0029] In specific implementation, the swing roller 2 is located in the upper part of the shell-breaking chamber 4 and close to the funnel-shaped slide 5, which facilitates the shell-breaking operation of nuts entering the shell-breaking chamber 4.

[0030] The bottom of the shell-breaking chamber 4 is provided with a discharge port 8. Inside the casing 1, an outlet slide 9 is provided at the discharge port 8 at an angle downwards. After passing through the shell-breaking chamber 4, the kernels and shells separated fall from the discharge port 8 to the outlet slide 9. Since the outlet slide 9 is set at an angle, the kernels and shells can slide down along the outlet slide 9.

[0031] The other end of the outlet slide 9 is connected to the nut bin 10. A fan 3 is provided on the bottom side of the end of the outlet slide 9 near the nut bin 10. The nut bin 10 is connected to the lower end of the outlet slide 9. When the nuts and shells slide through the outlet slide 9 to the fan 3, because the nuts are small in size and relatively heavy compared to the shells, and the shells are relatively large, the fan 3 can blow the shells up, while the nuts continue to slide down into the nut bin 10, thus separating the nuts from the shells.

[0032] An adjustable partition plate 11 is provided inside the casing 1 above the nut bin 10.

[0033] Furthermore, the adjustable partition 11 has an inverted V-shaped structure. The adjustable partition 11 includes a slide plate 17 and a baffle 18 hinged to the slide plate 17. The lower end of the baffle 18 is located at the end of the outlet slide 9 near the nut bin 10, and there is a certain distance between the lower end of the baffle 18 and the outlet slide 9.

[0034] During use, the adjustable isolation plate 11 can collect the fruit shells blown up by the fan 3. Since the fan 3 is tilted, it can tilt and blow up the fruit shells. At the same time, due to the setting of the baffle 18, the fruit shells can be prevented from entering the nut bin 10. The fruit shells blown up by the tilt can fall onto the slide plate 17. The slide plate 17 is also tilted, and the fruit shells can slide out of the machine casing 1 along the slide plate 17.

[0035] The casing 1 is provided with a collection net 12 on the side of the adjustable isolation plate 11 away from the fan 3; the collection net 12 can collect the fruit shells that have fallen outside the casing 1, avoiding secondary collection.

[0036] Meanwhile, the collection net 12 is detachably connected to the housing 1, specifically, it can be connected by hooks, buckles, etc.

[0037] The upper part of the casing 1 is equipped with a controller 13. The upper front side of the casing 1 is equipped with a multi-functional panel 14. The upper part of the casing 1 is equipped with a switch 15. The multi-functional panel 14, the drive motor 6 and the fan 3 are all connected to the controller 13.

[0038] It also includes a socket 16, which is located on the upper front side of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the controller 13.

[0039] In practical use, the sheller can be powered by the socket 16, and the sheller can be started and stopped by the switch 15; the controller 13 can control the operation of the drive motor 6 and the fan 3.

[0040] Meanwhile, the multi-functional panel 14 includes crushing modes for different nuts. By selecting the corresponding nut button, the controller 13 controls the speed of the drive motor 6, thereby controlling the speed of the spinning roller 2 to meet the shelling requirements of the corresponding nuts. At the same time, by controlling the wind speed of the fan 3, the shells of the nuts in the corresponding modes are blown away. Thus, through the setting of multiple modes, the diverse usage needs are met.

[0041] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
