Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nut processing technology, and in particular to an integrated equipment for cleaning and drying macadamia nuts. Background Technology

[0002] Macadamia nuts, belonging to the genus Macadamia in the family Proteaceae, are evergreen fruit trees. Also known as Hawaiian nuts or Australian walnuts, they are a prized edible nut, hailed as the "Queen of Nuts" and the "King of Nuts." The fruit is a green, spherical, chain-like follicle, composed of three parts: the pericarp, the shell, and the kernel. Macadamia kernels have a high fat content (70%–80%), with unsaturated fatty acids accounting for approximately 77.23%. They are rich in active ingredients such as tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols, and squalene, possessing a unique flavor and high nutritional value, making them highly valuable economically.

[0003] Currently, macadamia nuts require cleaning during processing to remove dust adhering to their surface and ensure processing quality. Existing technology typically involves loading the macadamia nuts into a container, then submerging the container and nuts together in a water tank. After cleaning, the container and nuts are removed from the water, drained, and the container opened to remove the nuts. This process is repeated, with more nuts loaded and unloaded. However, the loading and unloading of the container is time-consuming and not fully utilized, thus affecting the cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention will be further explained below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figure 1This embodiment provides an integrated washing and drying device for macadamia nuts, including a water tank 10, a storage box 20, a drive assembly 30, and an air supply assembly 40. Two sets of storage boxes 20 are provided for storing macadamia nuts to be washed. The upper part of the water tank 10 has two sets of inlets and outlets 101 corresponding to the storage boxes 20. The drive assembly 30 is installed on the upper part of the water tank 10 and is used to drive the two sets of storage boxes 20 to move up and down alternately. When one set of storage boxes 20 moves up above the water tank 10, the other set of storage boxes 20 moves down and enters the water tank 10 through the corresponding inlet and outlet 101. The air supply assembly 40 is located above the water tank 10. When one set of storage boxes 20 moves up above the water tank 10, the air supply assembly 40 supplies hot air to the interior of that set of storage boxes 20 to dry the macadamia nuts inside.

[0021] For ease of understanding, one set of storage boxes 20 is designated as the first storage box, and the other set is designated as the second storage box. Initially, the first storage box is located above the water tank 10, and the second storage box extends into the water tank 10 through its corresponding inlet / outlet 101. When macadamia nuts need to be cleaned, the worker places the macadamia nuts to be cleaned inside the first storage box. Then, the drive assembly 30 moves the first storage box down and the second storage box up. When the first storage box moves down, it extends into the water tank 10 through its corresponding inlet / outlet 101. At this time, the water source inside the water tank 10 cleans the macadamia nuts in the first storage box. During this process, the worker then removes the macadamia nuts to be cleaned later. Macadamia nuts are placed inside the second storage box. After the nuts in the first storage box are cleaned, the drive component 30 moves the first storage box upward and the second storage box downward. When the first storage box moves upward, it brings the cleaned nuts inside to the top of the water tank 10. When the second storage box moves downward, it extends into the water tank 10 through the corresponding inlet / outlet 101. At this time, the water source inside the water tank 10 cleans the nuts in the second storage box, while the air supply component 40 supplies hot air into the first storage box. After the hot air enters the first storage box, it dries the nuts inside. This cycle repeats, which can realize the continuous cleaning and drying of macadamia nuts, thereby improving the cleaning and drying efficiency of macadamia nuts.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 4In one embodiment, the water tank 10 is provided with two sets of guide wheels 103 on its upper part. The two sets of guide wheels 103 are respectively located on the upper side of the two sets of storage boxes 20. The drive assembly 30 includes a motor 301, a first rope 302, a second rope 303, and a reel 304. The motor 301 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the water tank 10. The reel 304 is located at the output end of the motor 301. One end of the first rope 302 is connected to the reel 304, and the other end passes around one set of guide wheels 103 and is connected to the top of one set of storage boxes 20. One end of the second rope 302 is connected to the reel 304, and the other end passes around the other set of guide wheels 103 and is connected to the top of the other set of storage boxes 20.

[0023] After placing the macadamia nuts to be washed into the first storage box, the motor 301 drives the reel 304 to rotate clockwise. When the reel 304 rotates clockwise, it unwinds the first rope 302 and winds up the second rope 303. As the first rope 302 unwinds, the first storage box moves downwards under gravity, extending into the water tank 10 through the corresponding inlet / outlet 101. This allows the water in the water tank 10 to wash the macadamia nuts inside the first storage box. When the second rope 303 winds up, it pulls the second storage box upwards, bringing the washed macadamia nuts above the water tank 10. At this time, the air supply component 40 supplies hot air into the second storage box to dry the macadamia nuts. Once the macadamia nuts in the second storage box are completely dried... Afterwards, the staff removes the macadamia nuts from the second storage box and places new macadamia nuts to be washed. Once the macadamia nuts in the first storage box are washed, the motor 301 drives the reel 304 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the reel 304 rotates in the opposite direction, it winds up the first rope 302 and unwinds the second rope 303. When the first rope 302 winds up, it pulls the first storage box upwards, thereby bringing the washed macadamia nuts inside to the top of the water tank 10. When the second rope 303 moves downwards, it extends into the water tank 10 from the corresponding inlet / outlet 101. The water in the water tank 10 washes the macadamia nuts in the second storage box. When the first storage box moves above the water tank 10, the air supply component 40 supplies hot air into the first storage box to dry the macadamia nuts inside.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, a vertically distributed guide rod 102 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the water tank 10, located on the side of the storage box 20, and a slider 204 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the storage box 20, the slider 204 being slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 102.

[0025] Through the sliding cooperation between the slider 204 and the guide rod 102, the two sets of storage boxes 20 can move smoothly up and down when the first rope 302 and the second rope 303 are wound up and unwound, so that the two sets of storage boxes 20 can smoothly extend into the water tank 10 through the corresponding inlet and outlet 101.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the gas supply assembly 40 includes a main gas supply pipe 401, a solenoid valve 402, a branch gas supply pipe 403, and a second flexible gas supply pipe 404. One end of the main gas supply pipe 401 is connected to an external hot air generator (not shown in the figure), and the other end extends to the top of the water tank 10. There are two sets of branch gas supply pipes 403 and the second flexible gas supply pipe 404. The two sets of branch gas supply pipes 403 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the main gas supply pipe 401. One end of the two sets of second flexible gas supply pipes 404 is connected to the two sets of branch gas supply pipes 403 respectively, and the other end is connected to the top of the two sets of storage boxes 20 respectively. The solenoid valve 402 is installed on both sets of branch gas supply pipes 403.

[0027] When the first storage box moves above the water tank 10, the solenoid valve 402 above the first storage box opens, and the solenoid valve 402 above the second storage box closes. At this time, the external hot air generator delivers hot air to the main air supply pipe 401, and then through the branch air supply pipe 403 above the first storage box to the corresponding second flexible air supply pipe 404. Finally, the air enters the first storage box through the second flexible air supply pipe 404 to air-dry the cleaned macadamia nuts inside the first storage box. When the second storage box moves above the water tank 10... When the solenoid valve 402 above the second storage box is opened and the solenoid valve 402 above the first storage box is closed, the external hot air generator delivers hot air to the main air supply pipe 401, and then delivers it to the corresponding second flexible air supply pipe 404 through the air supply branch pipe 403 above the second storage box. Finally, it enters the second storage box through the second flexible air supply pipe 404 to air dry the cleaned macadamia nuts in the second storage box. When the two sets of storage boxes 20 move up and down, the two sets of second flexible air supply pipes 404 extend and retract adaptively.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, a rigid gas supply pipe 104 is fixedly provided on the bottom inner side of the water tank 10, and a first flexible gas supply pipe 205 is provided on the bottom of each of the two sets of storage boxes 20. The end of each set of first flexible gas supply pipes 205 away from the corresponding storage box 20 extends from the corresponding inlet / outlet 101 into the interior of the water tank 10 and is respectively connected to both ends of the rigid gas supply pipe 104.

[0029] When the first storage box is located above the water tank 10 and the second storage box extends into the water tank 10, hot air is delivered into the first storage box to dry the macadamia nuts inside. After the hot air enters the first storage box, it can enter the rigid air supply pipe 104 from the first flexible air supply pipe 205 at the bottom of the first storage box, and then enter the second storage box from the first flexible air supply pipe 205 at the bottom of the second storage box. Since the second storage box is located inside the water tank 10, the hot air entering the second storage box can impact the macadamia nuts inside the second storage box, causing the macadamia nuts to be in motion inside the second storage box, so that the macadamia nuts can better contact the water source, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the macadamia nuts. With the second storage box located above the water tank 10 and the first storage box extending into the water tank 10, hot air is delivered into the second storage box to dry the macadamia nuts inside. After the hot air enters the second storage box, it can enter the rigid air supply pipe 104 through the first flexible air supply pipe 205 at the bottom of the second storage box, and then enter the first storage box through the first flexible air supply pipe 205 at the bottom of the first storage box. Since the first storage box is located inside the water tank 10, the hot air entering the first storage box can impact the macadamia nuts inside, causing the macadamia nuts to be in motion within the first storage box, so that the macadamia nuts can better contact the water source, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the macadamia nuts.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, both sets of storage boxes 20 are provided with exhaust ports 201 on their side walls, and a partition net (not shown in the figure) is embedded in the exhaust port 201. Limiting blocks 202 are fixedly provided on the outer walls of both sets of storage boxes 20 below the exhaust ports 201. An annular sealing plate 203 is movably provided on the outside of both sets of storage boxes 20.

[0031] When a storage box 20 is positioned above the water tank 10, the annular sealing plate 203 on the outside of the storage box 20 acts on the upper part of the limiting block 202 on the outer wall of the storage box 20. At this time, the annular sealing plate 203 seals the exhaust port 201 to prevent hot air entering the storage box 20 from being discharged from the exhaust port 201, allowing the hot air to smoothly dry the macadamia nuts. After the hot air dries the macadamia nuts, the hot air can enter the rigid air supply pipe 104 from the first flexible air supply pipe 205 at the bottom of the storage box 20, and then enter the other storage box 20 from another set of first flexible air supply pipes 205, thereby impacting the macadamia nuts in the other storage box 20, causing the macadamia nuts to move, thus improving the macadamia nut drying process. The cleaning effect of the macadamia nuts is as follows: When a certain set of storage boxes 20 moves down and extends into the water tank 10 through the corresponding inlet and outlet 101, the annular sealing plate 203 on the outside of the set of storage boxes 20 acts on the upper edge of the inlet and outlet 101. At this time, the annular sealing plate 203 moves up relative to the set of storage boxes 20, thereby releasing the sealing state of the exhaust port 201. After the set of storage boxes 20 enters the water tank 10, the water source inside the water tank 10 can enter the set of storage boxes 20 through the exhaust port 201. Combined with the impact of the hot air that subsequently enters, the macadamia nuts move in the water, achieving effective cleaning of the macadamia nuts. During the cleaning process of the macadamia nuts, the hot air carries the dust that has detached from the surface of the macadamia nuts and is discharged to the outside of the storage box 20 through the opened exhaust port 10.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, both sets of storage boxes 20 are movably equipped with mesh support components 50, which are used to support macadamia nuts. When one set of storage boxes 20 extends into the water tank 10, water from the water tank 10 enters the storage box 20 through the open exhaust port 201 to clean the macadamia nuts on the mesh support component 50. When one set of storage boxes 20 is above the water tank 10, hot air entering the storage box 20 acts on the macadamia nuts on the mesh support component 50 to dry them. After acting on the macadamia nuts, the hot air passes through the mesh support component 50 from top to bottom, and then enters the other set of storage boxes 20 located in the water tank 10 through two sets of first flexible air supply pipes 205 and rigid air supply pipes 104 to impact the macadamia nuts in the other set of storage boxes 20.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7In one embodiment, the storage box 20 has a retrieval opening 206 on its side wall and a sliding groove 207 on its inner wall. An L-shaped stop 208 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage box 20 above the retrieval opening 206. An arc-shaped groove 209 is provided at one end of the sliding groove 207 near the retrieval opening 206. The mesh support assembly 50 includes a frame 501, a support mesh 502, and a baffle 503. One end of the frame 501 extends from the retrieval opening 206 into the interior of the storage box 20, and the other end extends into the exterior of the storage box 20 and is hinged to the baffle 503. The support mesh 502 is fixedly embedded in the inner side of the frame 501. A sliding pin 504 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame 501. The sliding pin 504 extends into the sliding groove 207 and slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 207. A limit plate 505 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the baffle 503.

[0034] By pulling the frame 501, one end of the frame 501 and the support net 502 moves from the loading / unloading port 206 to the outside of the storage box 20. Then, the worker places the macadamia nuts to be washed on the support net 502, and then pushes the frame 501, causing the frame 501, the support net 502, and the macadamia nuts to move from the loading / unloading port 206 to the inside of the storage box 20. Then, the baffle 503 is rotated so that the baffle 503 is vertically attached to the outer wall of the storage box 20 to close the loading / unloading port 206. Rotate the limiting plate 505 so that it moves into the inner side of the L-shaped stop 208, thereby restricting the baffle 503. After the macadamia nuts are washed and dried, the worker rotates the limiting plate 505 in the opposite direction so that it moves away from the inner side of the L-shaped stop 208, thereby releasing the restrictive state of the baffle 503. Then, pull the frame 501 again so that the frame 501 and one end of the support net 502 at the self-loading port 206 move back to the outside of the storage box 20, and the support net 502 loads them onto the storage box 20. After the macadamia nuts have been washed and dried, they are moved to the outside of the storage box 20. During this process, the sliding pin 504 slides along the inside of the sliding groove 207. When the sliding pin 504 slides from the inside of the sliding groove 207 to the inside of the arc-shaped groove 209, the frame 501 and the support net 502 can rotate downwards to an inclined state under the action of gravity, so that the washed and dried macadamia nuts on the upper part of the support net 502 can automatically slide off. When the frame 501 rotates downwards, the sliding pin 504 rotates upwards along the inside of the arc-shaped groove 209, and the washed and dried macadamia nuts... After the fruit slides off, the staff lifts the frame 501, causing the frame 501 and the support net 502 to rotate to a horizontal position. Then, the frame 501 and the support net 502 are pushed into the storage box 20 a certain distance, so that the sliding pin 504 slides in the opposite direction from the inside of the arc groove 209 into the inside of the slide groove 207. Then, the new macadamia nuts to be cleaned are placed on the top of the support net 502, and then the frame 501 is pushed again to push the frame 501, the support net 502 and the macadamia nuts into the storage box 20.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
