Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pepper processing technology, and in particular to an integrated machine for breaking pepper seeds and separating kernel shells. Background Technology

[0002] The integrated machine for cracking and separating pepper kernels from husks is a mechanical device used for processing peppers. It is mainly used to crack the pepper kernels and initially separate the pepper kernels from the husks.

[0003] The drawback of existing pepper shelling and screening machines is the lack of a matching automatic feeding structure. Workers usually rely on manual methods to complete the feeding operation. One method is to first cut open the packaging bag containing peppers, then lift the bag and pour the peppers into the machine, which has a certain height. Another method is to first spread the peppers on the ground and then use a shovel to scoop them into the machine. Both of these manual feeding methods consume a lot of the workers' physical strength due to the height limitation of the machine itself, which not only increases the labor intensity during operation but also affects the overall processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an integrated machine for cracking pepper seeds and separating the kernel shells to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an integrated machine for cracking pepper seeds and separating the kernel shell.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The integrated machine for shelling and kernel separation of pepper seeds includes a shelling and screening machine and a slide rail. The shelling and screening machine is equipped with a feed hopper with an opening on its side. The slide rail is mounted on the shelling and screening machine, with brackets fixed at both ends and a fixed frame fixed in the middle of the slide rail. The fixed frame has a U-shaped structure and is equipped with an electric hoist. The traction end of the electric hoist is connected to two traction cables, and each traction cable has a hook at the end away from the electric hoist. The slide rail is provided with two sliding components and two feeding components, and the two feeding components are respectively connected to the two sliding components.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sliding assembly includes two axles, each axle is rotatably mounted with a pulley, the two pulleys are slidably disposed on a slide rail, and each axle is fixed with a hanging ring.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the feeding assembly includes a mounting frame, on which two connecting brackets are fixed, and the two connecting brackets are respectively connected to two wheel axles. A feeding bag is fixed on the mounting frame, and both the upper and lower ends of the feeding bag are open structures. Two movable plates are fixed at the bottom end of the feeding bag. Two side plates are fixed on the mounting frame, and movable rods are slidably arranged on each of the two side plates. The two movable rods are respectively connected to the two movable plates, and the two movable plates are connected to the two side plates by springs.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the slide rail is composed of two tracks, each track being composed of a smooth section and two inclined sections, the two inclined sections being connected to the two ends of the smooth section respectively, and a limit frame being fixed at both ends of each track.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the movable plates has a slot on its bottom surface, and the feed hopper is provided with an opening and closing component, a driving component, a lifting component and a pushing component, which together complete the opening action of the feed bag.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the opening and closing assembly includes two guide rods, two movable plates are slidably sleeved on the two guide rods, a fixed frame is fixed on the top surface of each movable plate, a lifting block is slidably arranged in each fixed frame, an opening is opened on the side of each fixed frame, and a horizontal plate is fixed on the side of each lifting block, with the two horizontal plates sliding in the two openings respectively.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly includes two mounting plates, both of which are fixed to the side of the feed hopper. A double-threaded rod is rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates. One end of the double-threaded rod is fixed to a fixed shaft, and the fixed shaft and the double-threaded rod are coaxially arranged. A limit rod is fixed between the two mounting plates. Two moving blocks are threaded onto the double-threaded rod. Both moving blocks are slidably mounted on the limit rod. Both moving blocks are connected to the two moving plates via connecting rods.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lifting assembly includes a strip-shaped support plate, which is slidably disposed between two mounting plates and located below the two horizontal plates. One end of the strip-shaped support plate is fixed with a mounting rod, and the end of the mounting rod away from the strip-shaped support plate is fixed with a wedge-shaped plate, which has an inclined surface.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing assembly includes a cylinder, a rack, and a rotating shaft. The cylinder is mounted on the side of the feed hopper, and a push rod is fixed to the telescopic end of the cylinder. A fixed rod is fixed to the push rod. The rack is slidably disposed on the side of the feed hopper, and a vertical plate is fixed to the end of the rack. A through-hole is provided on the vertical plate, through which the push rod passes, without contacting the through-hole. The rack is connected to the feed hopper via a tension spring. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the feed hopper, and a gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft, with the gear facing the rack. The rotating shaft and the fixed shaft are connected by a transmission component.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The pepper seed shelling and kernel shell separation integrated machine has an automatic feeding function. After the worker pours the peppers into the feeding bag, the feeding bag is pulled by the electric hoist to move to the top of the feeding hopper, and then the movable plate is opened to let the peppers fall into the feeding hopper. This replaces the traditional feeding method, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and improves the processing efficiency of peppers. 2. Two feeding bags are installed on the slide rail. When one feeding bag supplies peppercorns to the feed hopper, the operator can add peppercorns to the other feeding bag at the same time. By using the two feeding bags to supply peppercorns to the machine in turn, the working efficiency of the device is further improved. 3. When the feeding bag moves above the feed hopper, the device can automatically open the feeding bag. The cylinder is activated to push the wedge plate, which causes the strip support plate to lift the horizontal plate. After the lifting block is engaged in the slot of the movable plate, the double-headed threaded rod is rotated through the transmission of rack, pinion, and shaft, which drives the two moving blocks to move the movable plates away from each other, thereby completing the automatic opening of the bag mouth. No manual operation is required, which improves the automation level of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Example 1: This example describes the integrated machine for cracking and separating pepper seeds and kernels, as disclosed in this example. Figure 1-7The system includes a shell-breaking screening machine 1 and a slide rail 2. The shell-breaking screening machine 1 is equipped with a feed hopper 11 for feeding materials. The feed hopper 11 has an opening 111 on its side, which is elongated and located at the top of the feed hopper 11. The slide rail 2 is mounted on the shell-breaking screening machine 1 and consists of two tracks. Each track consists of a smooth section and two inclined sections. The two inclined sections are connected to the two ends of the smooth section. Supports 3 are fixed at both ends of the slide rail 2. A fixing frame 4 is fixed in the middle of the slide rail 2. The fixing frame 4 has a U-shaped structure. The two ends of the fixing frame 4 are fixed to the two smooth sections of the two tracks. An electric hoist 5 is installed on the fixing frame 4. Two traction cables 51 are connected to the traction end of the electric hoist 5. A hook 52 is provided at the end of each traction cable 51 away from the electric hoist 5. The two smooth sections of the slide rail 2 are located above the feed hopper 11 for easy feeding. Limit frames 21 are fixed at both ends of each track.

[0021] The slide rail 2 is equipped with two sliding components, each including two axles 221. Each axle 221 has a pulley 22 rotatably mounted on it, and both pulleys 22 are slidably mounted on the slide rail 2. Each axle 221 has a fixed hanging ring 222. Two hooks 52 on the two traction cables 51 are respectively hooked onto the two hanging rings 222, allowing the electric hoist 5 to pull the two pulleys 22. The slide rail 2 is also equipped with two feeding components, each connected to one of the two sliding components. Each feeding component includes a mounting frame 61, on which two connecting brackets are fixed. These connecting brackets are respectively connected to the two axles. Connected to 221, a feeding bag 62 is fixed on the mounting frame 61. Both the upper and lower ends of the feeding bag 62 are open structures. Two movable plates 64 are fixed at the bottom of the feeding bag 62. Two side plates 63 are fixed on the mounting frame 61. Movable rods 65 are slidably arranged on the two side plates 63. The two movable rods 65 are respectively connected to the two movable plates 64. The two movable plates 64 and the two side plates 63 are connected by springs 66. In the initial state, under the elastic force of the two springs 66, the two movable plates 64 are in a state of mutual contact. At this time, the opening 111 at the bottom of the feeding bag 62 is in a closed state.

[0022] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the pepper seed shelling and kernel shell separation integrated machine proposed in this invention is in use, in the initial state, the two feeding bags 62 are located at both ends of the slide rail 2. At this time, the distance between the feeding bags 62 and the ground is very close. For the feeding bags 62 at this height, it is convenient for the workers to pour peppers into the feeding bags 62. After the workers pour the pepper granules into one of the feeding bags 62, they hang the two hooks 52 on the two traction cables 51 on the two hanging rings 222 in the sliding component for feeding. Further, the workers start the electric hoist 5. When the electric hoist 5 is running, it winds up the two traction cables 51. During this process, the two traction cables 51 can pull the two pulleys 22, which eventually causes the feeding bag 62 to move. During the movement of the feeding bag 62, the slide rail 2 provides a limit for the feeding bag 62 until the feeding bag 62 moves to directly above the feeding hopper 11, forming a shape like... Figure 1 In the state shown, the operator turns off the electric hoist 5 and then pulls the two movable plates 64 to move them away from each other. When the two movable plates 64 move away from each other, the opening at the bottom of the feeding bag 62 will open, and the peppercorns inside the feeding bag 62 will fall down and eventually fall into the feeding hopper 11, thus realizing automatic feeding of peppercorns. In summary, the peppercorn processing machine proposed in this invention has the function of automatic feeding, which replaces the traditional feeding method, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and improves the processing efficiency of peppercorns.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that there are two feeding bags 62 on the slide rail 2. When one feeding bag 62 supplies peppercorns into the feed hopper 11, the operator can simultaneously add peppercorns into the other feeding bag 62. By using the two feeding bags 62 to supply peppercorns to the machine in turn, the working efficiency of the device can be further improved.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example discloses an integrated machine for cracking pepper seeds and separating the kernel shell, such as... Figures 8-11As shown, each movable plate 64 has a slot 641 on its bottom surface. The feed hopper 11 is equipped with an opening / closing assembly and a driving assembly. The opening / closing assembly includes two guide rods 71, with two movable plates 72 slidably mounted on the guide rods 71. A fixed frame 73 is fixed to the top surface of each movable plate 72, and a lifting block 74 is slidably mounted in each fixed frame 73. Each fixed frame 73 has an opening 731 on its side, and a horizontal plate 741 is fixed to the side of each lifting block 74. The two horizontal plates 741 slide in the two openings 731 respectively. Initially, the two movable plates 72 are close to each other. The driving assembly includes two mounting plates 81, both of which are fixed to the feed hopper 11. On the side, a double-ended threaded rod 82 is rotatably mounted between two mounting plates 81. A limit rod 83 is fixed between the two mounting plates 81. Two moving blocks 84 are threadedly sleeved on the double-ended threaded rod 82. Both moving blocks 84 are slidably sleeved on the limit rod 83. The two moving blocks 84 are connected to the two moving plates 72 through connecting rods 841. The double-ended threaded rod 82 is provided with two threaded sections of the same length but with opposite directions. The two moving blocks 84 are threadedly sleeved on the two threaded sections respectively. When the double-ended threaded rod 82 rotates, the two moving blocks 84 move closer to each other or further away from each other. A fixed shaft 821 is fixed to one end of the double-ended threaded rod 82, and the fixed shaft 821 is coaxially arranged with the double-ended threaded rod 82.

[0025] The feed hopper 11 is equipped with a lifting assembly and a pushing assembly. The lifting assembly includes a strip-shaped support plate 101, which is slidably disposed between two mounting plates 81 and located below two horizontal plates 741. When the strip-shaped support plate 101 moves upward, it can lift the two horizontal plates 741, causing the two horizontal plates 741 to drive the two lifting blocks 74 to move upward. One end of the strip-shaped support plate 101 is fixed with a mounting rod 102, and the end of the mounting rod 102 away from the strip-shaped support plate 101 is fixed with a wedge plate 103. The wedge plate 103 is provided with an inclined surface. The pushing assembly includes a cylinder 91, a rack 93, and a rotating shaft 96. The cylinder 91 is installed on the side of the feed hopper 11, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 91 is fixed with a pusher. A rod 92 is attached to a push rod 92, and a fixed rod 921 is fixed on the push rod 92. A rack 93 is slidably disposed on the side of the feed hopper 11. A vertical plate 94 is fixed at the end of the rack 93. A through hole 941 is provided on the vertical plate 94. The push rod 92 passes through the through hole 941 and does not contact the through hole 941. The rack 93 is connected to the feed hopper 11 through a tension spring 95. A rotating shaft 96 is rotatably mounted on the feed hopper 11. A gear 97 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 96 and is positioned opposite the rack 93. The rotating shaft 96 and the fixed shaft 821 are connected by a transmission component 98, which is a belt drive. The end of the push rod 92 away from the cylinder 91 is positioned opposite the inclined surface of the wedge plate 103.

[0026] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: This invention has the function of automatically opening the feeding bag 62. When the feeding bag 62 moves above the feeding hopper 11, this function can automatically open the feeding bag 62 without manual operation, further improving the automation level of the device. Specifically, when the feeding bag 62 moves above the feeding hopper 11, the two slots 641 on the two movable plates 64 are respectively aligned with the two lifting blocks 74. When feeding, the cylinder 91 is activated, and its telescopic end extends. The telescopic end of the cylinder 91 can... The push rod 92 moves, but since it does not contact the through-hole 941, it does not move the vertical plate 94 or the rack 93. When the push rod 92 moves, its end pushes the inclined surface of the wedge plate 103. Under the action of the inclined surface, the wedge plate 103 moves upward, and through the mounting rod 102, it moves the strip support plate 101 upward. When the strip support plate 101 moves upward, it lifts the two horizontal plates 741, causing the two lifting blocks 74 to move upward until both... The lifting blocks 74 are respectively inserted into the two slots 641. After the two lifting blocks 74 are inserted into the two slots 641, the fixed rod 921 on the push rod 92 will contact the vertical plate 94 and push the vertical plate 94 to move. When the vertical plate 94 moves, it drives the rack 93 to move. During the movement, the rack 93 can drive the gear 97 to rotate, which in turn makes the rotating shaft 96 rotate. When the rotating shaft 96 rotates, it drives the fixed rod 921 to rotate through the transmission component 98, which finally makes the double-headed threaded rod 82 rotate. Under the limiting action of the limiting rod 83, when the double-headed threaded rod 82 rotates, it can drive the two moving blocks 84 to move synchronously and move away from each other. When the two moving blocks 84 move away from each other, they can drive the two moving plates 72 to move away from each other through the two connecting rods 841, which finally makes the two lifting blocks 74 move away from each other. Since the two lifting blocks 74 are respectively inserted into the two slots 641, the movement of the two lifting blocks 74 can drive the movement of the two movable plates 64, making the two movable plates 64 move away from each other, thereby completing the automatic opening action of the bag opening.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
