Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of passion fruit processing technology, specifically to a passion fruit separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Passion fruit is a herbaceous vine belonging to the Passifloraceae family and the Passifloraceae genus. Currently, the main food consumed is the pulp inside the passion fruit, while the peel is usually discarded, which results in a waste of resources. The peel of passion fruit consists of two layers (red on the outside and white on the inside). The white peel inside the passion fruit can be used to make dried fruit. Currently, common methods for removing the pulp from passion fruit include: first cutting the passion fruit in half and then removing the pulp; or making a hole in the passion fruit and then using negative pressure to absorb the pulp; or using a peeler to cut around the surface of the passion fruit to peel it, such as the "Passion Fruit Peeling and Separation Device" disclosed in patent number CN222090731U.

[0003] Cutting it in half exposes the white inner skin directly, which is prone to oxidation and discoloration over time and can also develop an odor. Digging holes to create negative pressure can leave fruit pulp inside the shell. This remaining pulp contains sugar and organic acids, making it particularly susceptible to mold growth and a sour smell. Cutting the fruit in half damages the integrity of the peel.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention proposes a new passion fruit separation device that can separate the pulp while keeping the peel intact and concealing the white peel inside, which facilitates the subsequent production of dried fruit. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a passion fruit separation device to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] This invention provides the following technical solution: A passion fruit separation device includes two parallel circulating conveyor belts, a clamping mechanism, and a cutter and scoop assembly arranged sequentially along the passion fruit's forward direction and located between the two circulating conveyor belts. The clamping mechanisms on the two circulating conveyor belts are symmetrically arranged; The clamping mechanism includes a fixed base and a movable base that slides unidirectionally on the fixed base. A pressure seat is rotatably connected to the movable base via an upper rotating shaft. The pressing base includes an upper pressing part and a lower pressing part that form an obtuse angle with each other; during the process of placing the passion fruit in the movable base, the passion fruit pushes down the lower pressing part, thereby causing the upper pressing part to rotate and press against the upper surface of the passion fruit. The width of the cutter increases along the direction of the passion fruit's movement. The cutter passes between two symmetrical sets of movable seats and pushes the two sets of movable seats away from each other. The cutter forms a slit in the lower part of the passion fruit, while the overall structure of the passion fruit remains continuous and is not cut off.

[0007] Preferably, a guide seat is provided on one side of the circulating conveyor belt, and the guide seat is positioned opposite to the cutter and scoop assembly. A push rod is provided radially on the upper rotating shaft, and the push rod contacts the upper contour of the guide seat and drives the upper rotating shaft to rotate according to the change of the upper contour of the guide seat.

[0008] Preferably, the movable seat includes a vertical part and a horizontal part that is slidably connected to the vertical part. The vertical part slides unidirectionally on the fixed seat, and the upper rotating shaft is connected to the upper part of the vertical part.

[0009] Preferably, a lower rotating shaft is provided at the lower part of the vertical section, and the upper rotating shaft and the lower rotating shaft are connected by a synchronous belt drive assembly. The lower rotating shaft is provided with transmission teeth, and a rack is provided on the horizontal section. The transmission teeth mesh with the rack. A movable part is provided on the synchronous belt drive assembly, and two sets of limiting parts are provided in the horizontal section. The movement of the synchronous belt drive assembly drives the movable part to move in and out between the two sets of limiting parts.

[0010] Preferably, the lower rotating shaft is connected to the transmission gear via a clutch. The clutch includes a driving part and a driven part. The driving part is fixed to the lower rotating shaft, and the driven part is fixed to the transmission gear and together movably sleeved on the outside of the lower rotating shaft. A guide groove is provided on the fixed seat, and the driven part is circumferentially provided with protrusions. The protrusions are placed in the guide groove to guide the driven part to move axially along the lower rotating shaft to engage or disengage with the driving part.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed seat is provided with a one-way tooth, and the movable seat is movably connected with a one-way locking rod. The one-way locking rod is pushed by a first return spring so that one end of the one-way locking rod contacts the one-way tooth and maintains a one-way engagement. The circulating conveyor belt is provided with a magnetic component located downstream of the scoop assembly. The magnetic component and the one-way locking rod are magnetically attracted to each other so that one end of the one-way locking rod separates from the one-way tooth. A second reset spring is provided between the fixed seat and the movable seat to push the movable seat to move and reset.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the pressing seat that contacts the passion fruit is a concave surface that is deep in the middle and shallow on both sides, which matches the contour of the passion fruit; a third return spring is provided between the pressing seat and the movable seat, and the upper pressing part is kept in a vertical state under normal conditions by the third return spring.

[0013] Preferably, the scoop assembly includes a lifting assembly and a support housing disposed at the lifting end of the lifting assembly. Two fruit-scooping knives are connected above the support housing via a connector, and a rotary power mechanism for driving the two fruit-scooping knives to rotate is installed inside the support housing.

[0014] Preferably, the connector has a spiral structure; the fruit-scooping knife has a D-shaped structure.

[0015] Preferably, the circulating conveyor belt is driven intermittently.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: This invention involves making a cut at the bottom of the passion fruit using a cutting blade with progressively increasing width, creating a single incision while maintaining the overall structure of the passion fruit without severing it, thus opening the passion fruit like a book page with the opening facing downwards. This opening facilitates the subsequent use of a scooping tool to completely remove the pulp from the passion fruit, preserving the intact peel. The peel consists of two connected hemispherical shells that can be joined together to form a complete sphere, which helps to conceal the white inner peel, preventing external environmental contamination and facilitating subsequent processing into preserves.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Example: A passion fruit separation device, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the system includes two parallel and synchronously driven circulating conveyor belts 1, with a certain gap between them. Clamping mechanisms 2 are evenly spaced on the circulating conveyor belts 1, and the clamping mechanisms 2 of the two sets of circulating conveyor belts 1 are arranged symmetrically and in one-to-one correspondence. The circulating conveyor belts 1 are driven intermittently, and each drive causes the adjacent two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 to alternate positions.

[0022] A feed hopper 100 is provided above the left end of the circulating conveyor belt 1, and a magnetic component 6 is provided at the right end of the circulating conveyor belt 1. The magnetic component 6 can be controlled by an electromagnet to switch on and off as needed. The upper surface of the circulating conveyor belt 1 is clamped by two sets of symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 and conveyed from the left end to the right end.

[0023] Between two parallel circulating conveyor belts 1, from left to right, are arranged a cutter 3 and a scoop assembly 5, with the cutter 3 positioned opposite to the right side of the feed hopper 100; Figure 2 As shown, the width of cutter 3 increases sequentially from left to right; as Figure 3As shown, the scoop assembly 5 includes a lifting assembly 51, a support shell 52, a connector 53, and a fruit-scooping knife 54. The lifting assembly 51 can be a telescopic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod. The support shell 52 is installed on the upward-facing lifting end of the lifting assembly 51. The support shell 52 is equipped with a rotary power mechanism driven by a motor. The rotary power mechanism has two output ends. The lower ends of two vertically parallel connectors 53 are rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support shell 52, and the lower ends of the two connectors 53 are respectively connected to the two output ends of the rotary power mechanism. The upper ends of the two connectors 53 are respectively provided with corresponding fruit-scooping knives 54. The fruit-scooping knife 54 has a D-shaped structure with a hollow center or a non-hollow center. The connector 53 can be a spiral structure with a small elastic deformation capacity.

[0024] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a fixed seat 21, a movable seat 22, an upper rotating shaft 23, a pressure seat 24, a push rod 25, a second return spring 26, and a third return spring (not shown in the attached figure). The fixed seat 21 is fixed relative to the circulating conveyor belt 1. The movable seat 22 has an L-shaped structure and slides horizontally on the fixed seat 21. The two sets of movable seats 22 in the two symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 move to move closer or further away from each other. The movable seat 22 includes a vertical part 221 and a horizontal part 222 forming an L-shaped structure. The lower end of the vertical part 221 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 21 with respect to the horizontal line. The horizontal part 222 is slidably connected to the lower part of the vertical part 221 with respect to the horizontal line. The direction of movement of the horizontal part 222 relative to the vertical part 221 is the same as the direction of movement of the vertical part 221 relative to the fixed seat 21. A second return spring 26 is provided between the vertical part 221 of the movable seat 22 and the fixed seat 21. The elastic force of the second return spring 26 is used to push the vertical part 221 to move and reset relative to the fixed seat 21. That is, the two sets of movable seats 22 in the two sets of symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 tend to move closer to each other. The upper surface of the fixed seat 21 is provided with a one-way tooth 211. The extension direction of the one-way tooth 211 is consistent with the movement direction of the vertical part 221 relative to the fixed seat 21. An extension part 223 is fixedly provided on one side of the vertical part 221. A one-way locking rod 225 is slidably connected in the extension part 223. A first return spring 224 is provided between the one-way locking rod 225 and the extension part 223. The elastic force of the first return spring 224 pushes the one-way locking rod 225 to move downward, so that the lower end of the one-way locking rod 225 keeps in contact with the one-way tooth 211. The lower end of the one-way locking rod 225 and the one-way tooth 211 engage in a one-way engagement. That is, when the vertical parts 221 of the two sets of symmetrical movable seats 22 move away from each other, the lower end of the one-way locking rod 225 follows the movement of the one-way tooth 211 to achieve a one-way engagement.

[0025] The upper part of the vertical section 221 in the movable seat 22 is rotatably connected to the pressure seat 24 via the upper rotating shaft 23. A third return spring is provided between the pressure seat 24 and the upper part of the vertical section 221. The third return spring pushes the pressure seat 24 to rotate relative to the vertical section 221 and return it to its original position. Figures 4-6 In the middle state; the pressure seat 24 includes an integrated upper pressure part 241 and a lower pressure part 242, the upper pressure part 241 and the lower pressure part 242 are composed of an obtuse angle V-shaped structure; in the normal state, the upper pressure part 241 remains parallel to the vertical part 221, and the lower pressure part 242 extends downward at an angle to above the horizontal part 222; the side of the upper pressure part 241 and the lower pressure part 242 that contacts the passion fruit is a concave surface that is deep in the middle and shallow on both sides, which is adapted to the outline of the passion fruit.

[0026] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a push rod 25 is provided at one end of the upper rotating shaft 23 along its radial direction, and a lower rotating shaft 27 is connected to the lower part of the vertical part 221. A synchronous belt drive group 226 is provided inside the vertical part 221, and the upper rotating shaft 23 and the lower rotating shaft 27 are synchronously connected through the synchronous belt drive group 226. like Figure 9 As shown, a movable part 229 is provided on the synchronous belt drive assembly 226; two sets of limiting parts 2210 are provided in the transverse part 222.

[0027] A rack 228 is provided on the transverse part 222 along its moving direction. A transmission gear 227 is coaxially and movably connected to the outside of the lower rotating shaft 27. The transmission gear 227 and the rack 228 mesh. A clutch 28 is coaxially installed on the outside of the lower rotating shaft 27. The clutch 28 includes a driving part 281 and a driven part 282. The driving part 281 is coaxially fixed on the outside of the lower rotating shaft 27. The driven part 282 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the lower rotating shaft 27 and coaxially fixedly connected to the transmission gear 227. The driven part 282 can move along the axial direction of the lower rotating shaft 27 to engage or disengage with the driving part 281. like Figure 7 As shown by the red line, a guide groove 212 is provided on the upper surface of the fixed base 21. Multiple protrusions 283 are uniformly raised on the outer circumferential surface of the driven part 282. At any time, at least one protrusion 283 is located in the guide groove 212. The driven part 282 is pushed to move axially along the lower rotating shaft 27 by the cooperation of the protrusions 283 on the outer circumferential surface of the driven part 282 with the guide groove 212.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a guide seat 4 is provided on the outer side of the circulating conveyor belt 1. The upper contour of the guide seat 4 is not a straight line, and the guide seat 4 is located between the cutter 3 and the scoop assembly 5.

[0029] Working principle: Passion fruit is guided by the feed hopper 100 to the two symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 below. At this time, the distance between the two sets of horizontal parts 222 is small, and the passion fruit falls from top to bottom onto the upper surface of the two sets of horizontal parts 222. During this process, the passion fruit comes into contact with the lower pressing part 242 of the pressure seat 24. As the passion fruit falls from top to bottom, it pushes the lower pressing part 242 to rotate to a vertical position with the upper rotating shaft 23 as the center. Then, the upper pressing part 241 follows the rotation and presses on the upper surface of the passion fruit. During this process, the upper rotating shaft 23 drives the synchronous belt in the synchronous belt drive group 226 to rotate within a certain range, so that the movable part 229 on the synchronous belt in the synchronous belt drive group 226 moves between the two sets of limiting parts 2210. The left and right sides of the movable part 229 are restricted by the limiting parts 2210, so that the horizontal part 222 cannot move relative to the vertical part 221.

[0030] Then, the circulating conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to move one station. During this process, the passion fruit held by the two symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 passes through the cutter 3. Before the passion fruit passes through the cutter 3, the push rod 25 (without change) at the end of the upper rotating shaft 23 moves relative to the guide seat 4. The guide seat 4 blocks the push rod 25 from moving downward, thereby preventing the upper pressing part 241 from rotating in the opposite direction and detaching from the passion fruit, thus keeping the upper pressing part 241 tightly pressing the passion fruit. As the passion fruit passes through the cutter 3, Figure 8 As shown, the cutter 3 first cuts a groove in the lower part of the passion fruit, while keeping the overall structure of the passion fruit continuous and uncut. As the width of the cutter 3 increases, the passion fruit opens like a book page with the opening facing down. At the same time, the cutter 3 passes between the two sets of horizontal parts 222 and pushes the two sets of horizontal parts 222 away from each other, increasing the distance between them. At this time, the driving part 281 and the driven part 282 in the clutch 28 are in a separated state, and the horizontal part 222 and the vertical part 221 are relatively fixed. Through the one-way engagement of the lower end of the one-way lever 225 and the one-way tooth 211, the vertical part 221 moves horizontally outward to the limit position on the fixed seat 21. When the vertical part 221 moves horizontally outward in one direction on the fixed seat 21, the protrusion 283 of the driven part 282 moves relative to the guide groove 212. The guide groove 212 has a non-linear profile, which drives the driven part 282 to move axially along the lower rotating shaft 27, so as to realize the combination of the driven part 282 and the driving part 281. Then, the circulating conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to move forward one station to above the digging spoon assembly 5. During this process, the push rod 25 is restricted by the contour of the upper surface of the guide seat 4, which pushes the push rod 25 to drive the upper rotating shaft 23 as follows. Figure 6As the arrow points in the direction of rotation, the distance between the two sets of vertical sections 221 increases, and the upper pressing section 241 continues to press the passion fruit, further compressing it and expanding its overall width to fit the load. Simultaneously, the upper rotating shaft 23 drives the synchronous belt within the synchronous belt drive assembly 226 to rotate within a certain range, causing the movable part 229 on the synchronous belt in the synchronous belt drive assembly 226 to disengage from between the two sets of limiting parts 2210, thus allowing the horizontal section 222 to move relative to the vertical section 221. During the rotation of the upper shaft 23, the lower shaft 27 is driven to rotate by the synchronous belt drive group 226. As the driven part 282 and the driving part 281 are engaged, the transmission gear 227 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 227 drives the horizontal part 222 to move horizontally relative to the vertical part 221 through the meshing rack 228. That is, the distance between the two sets of horizontal parts 222 continues to increase. At this time, the passion fruit is still against the upper surface of the horizontal part 222.

[0031] The lifting assembly 51 raises the support shell 52 to a certain height, causing the two sets of fruit-scooping knives 54 to rise into the passion fruit, which is open like a book page with its opening facing downwards. The rotating power mechanism driven by the motor inside the support shell 52 drives the two sets of fruit-scooping knives 54 to rotate. The two sets of fruit-scooping knives 54 rotate and scoop out the pulp from the passion fruit, which falls out under its own gravity. A collection basin is set below to collect the scooped pulp and the juice that flows out after the cutter 3 cuts the passion fruit. The small range of deformation of the connecting part 53 makes it easier for the fruit-scooping knives 54 to adapt to passion fruits of different sizes.

[0032] Then, the circulating conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to continue moving forward, and the push rod 25 disengages from the upper surface of the guide seat 4. Under the action of the elastic force of the third reset spring, the upper rotating shaft 23 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction to reset. During this process, the lower rotating shaft 27 is driven to rotate through the synchronous belt drive group 226. Since the driven part 282 and the driving part 281 are engaged, the transmission gear 227 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 227 drives the horizontal part 222 to move horizontally in the opposite direction relative to the vertical part 221 to reset through the meshing rack 228. That is, the distance between the two sets of horizontal parts 222 becomes smaller and resets. When the circulating conveyor belt 1 drives the clamping mechanism 2 to move to the inverted position and moves close to the magnetic component 6, the magnetic component 6 and the iron block in the one-way lever 225 magnetically cooperate to overcome the elastic force of the first return spring 224 and drive the end of the one-way lever 225 to disengage from the one-way tooth 211. Then, under the action of the elastic force of the second return spring 26, the vertical part 221 is pushed to move and reset relative to the fixed seat 21, thereby separating the driven part 282 from the driving part 281. When the clamping mechanism 2 is in an inverted state, the passion fruit peel can fall downwards and separate from the two symmetrical clamping mechanisms 2 under the combined action of the passion fruit peel's own weight and the third return spring.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of specific implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
