Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of peanut butter production technology, and more specifically, to a raw material crushing device for peanut butter production. Background Technology

[0002] Peanut butter is yellowish-brown in color, with a smooth texture, delicious taste, and the rich aroma inherent in peanuts. It does not mold or attract insects. Peanut butter is made from high-quality peanuts and other raw materials. The finished product has a firm, chewy paste-like consistency and a rich roasted peanut aroma. High-quality peanut butter is generally light beige, with a smooth texture, rich aroma, and no impurities. Peanut butter is rich in plant protein and also contains vitamins, niacin, vitamin E, and other substances.

[0003] According to existing technology, peanuts have uneven texture and are rich in oil. Traditional double-roller or single-roller crushing mechanisms rely on only one squeeze and shear operation. Affected by the material feeding state, biting angle and instantaneous feeding amount, some materials may not be completely crushed, resulting in large particles. Since traditional crushers lack a dedicated active sorting structure, large peanut particles and crushed peanuts are mixed together during crushing, which will affect the subsequent processing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a raw material crushing device for peanut butter production. It features a magnetic filter screen inside the connecting hopper, allowing dust to pass through the filter screen and enter the collection box as the airflow carries the peanut raw material. Magnetic particles are adsorbed by the filter screen, simultaneously removing dust and iron before crushing, preventing impurities from damaging the crushing components or contaminating the crushed peanuts. The airflow from the blower acts on a separation device through the air duct and air outlet, while the feed is assisted by the distribution pipe and air distributor. Peanuts meeting specifications are blown away and conveyed to the collection container via an inclined plate. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art: because traditional crushers lack a dedicated active sorting structure, large peanut particles mix with the crushed peanuts during crushing, affecting subsequent processing results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a raw material crushing device for peanut butter production includes a machine body and a separating device. A drive unit is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body, and a crushing unit is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body. The separating device is located directly below the crushing unit and includes a guide bucket fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing unit. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the machine body near the guide bucket. An inclined plate is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate. A fan is provided on one side of the machine body. An air duct is fixedly connected to the output end of the fan. An air outlet is fixedly connected to the end of the air duct away from the fan. The air outlet is detachably connected to the inside of the fixed plate.

[0006] The outside of the crushing section is provided with a feeding device. The feeding device includes a connecting hopper fixedly connected to the top of the crushing section. A feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting hopper. A branch pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the air duct. An air distributor is fixedly connected to one side of the branch pipe. The air distributor is detachably connected to the inside of the connecting hopper.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the fixed plate has a through groove inside, the air outlet head is inserted and connected to the fixed plate through the through groove, the outside of the guide bucket and the inside of the fixed plate are detachably connected, the bottom of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a guide plate, and one side of the guide plate is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe.

[0008] Secondly, the outside of the discharge pipe is provided with a conveying device for conveying large peanut particles. The conveying device includes a sleeve fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe. A spiral rod is rotatably connected inside the sleeve. A support block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block.

[0009] Furthermore, a guide pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve, the guide pipe is located directly above the connecting hopper, a support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate, a motor is fixedly connected inside the support frame, and a synchronous belt is drivingly connected between the output end of the motor and the input end of the bottom of the screw rod.

[0010] Based on the above, a slot is provided on one side of the connecting hopper, and the air distributor is inserted and engaged with the connecting hopper through the slot. A storage box is embedded inside the connecting hopper, and multiple mounting bolts are threadedly connected between the storage box and the inside of the connecting hopper.

[0011] Meanwhile, a filter screen is fixedly connected to the opening of the storage box. The filter screen is a magnetic screen. When the airflow enters the connecting hopper through the air distributor, the dust on the peanut surface passes through the filter screen and enters the storage box. At the same time, the magnetic particles are attracted by the filter screen, so as to realize the synchronous separation and collection of dust and magnetic particles on the peanut surface. The top of the connecting hopper is provided with a feed port, and the guide pipe is inserted and matched with the connecting hopper through the feed port.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] In this raw material crushing device for peanut butter production, a magnetic filter screen is installed inside the connecting hopper. When the airflow carries the peanut raw materials through, dust passes through the filter screen and enters the collection box. Magnetic particles are adsorbed by the filter screen, and dust and iron removal are completed simultaneously before crushing to avoid impurities damaging the crushing parts or contaminating the crushed peanuts. The airflow output by the blower acts on the separation device through the air duct and air outlet. At the same time, the feeding is assisted by the distribution pipe and air distribution head. Peanuts that meet the specifications are blown away and conveyed to the collection container through the inclined plate. Large peanut particles enter the sleeve through the guide plate and discharge pipe. Then, the motor drives the screw rod to convey the large peanut particles upward. The separated unqualified large peanut particles are sent back to the connecting hopper through the guide pipe and re-enter the crushing section for further crushing. The detachable filter screen and collection box are easy to clean and maintain. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0025] Because traditional crushers lack a dedicated active sorting structure, large peanut particles mix with the crushed peanuts during the crushing process, which can affect the subsequent processing results.

[0026] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention discloses a raw material grinding device for peanut butter production, referencing... Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a body 1 and a separation device 4. A drive unit 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the body 1, and a crushing unit 3 is also fixedly installed on the top of the body 1. The separation device 4 is located directly below the crushing unit 3 and includes a guide bucket 41 fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing unit 3. The guide bucket 41 allows the crushed material to fall directly into the separation area, shortening the material conveying path and reducing the risk of blockage. A fixing plate 42 is fixedly connected to the outside of the body 1 near the guide bucket 41. An inclined plate 43 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 42, and the inclined plate 43 guides the material according to... The peanuts slide at a predetermined angle to prevent material accumulation and facilitate collection of the crushed peanuts. A fan 44 is installed on one side of the machine body 1. The output end of the fan 44 is fixedly connected to an air duct 45. An air outlet 46 is fixedly connected to the end of the air duct 45 away from the fan 44. The air outlet 46 is detachably connected to the inside of the fixed plate 42. The fan 44, air duct 45 and air outlet 46 can provide airflow to the separation area for separating large peanut particles and crushed peanuts. At the same time, the air outlet 46 is detachably connected to the fixed plate 42 for easy cleaning and replacement.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the fixed plate 42 has a through groove 47 inside, and the air outlet 46 is inserted and connected to the fixed plate 42 through the through groove 47. The guide bucket 41 is detachably connected to the outside and the inside of the fixed plate 42. The detachable connection of the air outlet 46 and the guide bucket 41 makes it easy to maintain the whole equipment. The bottom of the fixed plate 42 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 48, and the side of the guide plate 48 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 49. The large peanut particles fall into the conveying device 5 through the guide plate 48 and the discharge pipe 49.

[0028] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a conveying device 5 for conveying large peanut particles is provided outside the discharge pipe 49. The conveying device 5 includes a sleeve 54 fixedly connected to one side of the discharge pipe 49. A screw rod 53 is rotatably connected inside the sleeve 54. The unqualified large peanut particles discharged from the discharge pipe 49 are directly received and lifted upward by the screw conveyor, thereby reducing the inefficiency caused by manual operation. A support block 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve 54. A base plate 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block 52. A guide pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve 54. The guide pipe 55 is located directly above the connecting hopper 61, allowing the lifted large peanut particles to fall directly into the connecting hopper 61 by gravity and re-enter the crushing section 3, forming a closed-loop material return while reducing raw material waste. A support frame 56 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 51. A motor 57 is fixedly connected inside the support frame 56. A synchronous belt is connected to the output end of the motor 57 and the input end of the bottom of the screw rod 53.

[0029] refer to Figure 6 - Figure 8 As shown, a feeding device 6 is provided on the outside of the crushing section 3. The feeding device 6 includes a connecting hopper 61 fixedly connected to the top of the crushing section 3. A feeding hopper 62 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting hopper 61. The peanuts to be crushed are directly fed into the crushing section 3 through the feeding hopper 62 to reduce material overflow. A branch pipe 63 is fixedly connected to the top of the air duct 45. An air distributor 64 is fixedly connected to one side of the branch pipe 63. The air distributor 64 is detachably connected to the inside of the connecting hopper 61 to introduce part of the airflow from the blower 44 into the feeding area. Before the material enters the crushing section 3, it blows away the accumulated peanuts or separates the residual light impurities. A slot 65 is provided on one side of the connecting hopper 61. The air distributor 64 is inserted and matched with the connecting hopper 61 through the slot 65, which facilitates the quick installation and removal of the air distributor 64.

[0030] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a storage box 66 is embedded inside the connecting hopper 61. Multiple mounting bolts 67 are threadedly connected to the storage box 66 and the connecting hopper 61. A filter screen 68 is fixedly connected to the opening of the storage box 66. The filter screen 68 is a magnetic mesh. When the airflow enters the connecting hopper 61 through the air distributor 64, the dust on the peanut surface passes through the filter screen 68 and enters the storage box 66. At the same time, the magnetic particles are adsorbed by the filter screen 68. Dust removal and iron removal are completed simultaneously before the material enters the crushing section 3, avoiding damage to the crushing section 3 by impurities and improving the purity of the finished peanut butter. The top of the connecting hopper 61 has a feed inlet 69. The guide pipe 55 is inserted and connected to the connecting hopper 61 through the feed inlet 69. Large peanut particles enter the connecting hopper 61 through the guide pipe 55 and the feed inlet 69.

[0031] Working principle of the invention: During operation, the peanut raw material to be crushed enters the connecting hopper 61 through the feed hopper 62. After the blower 44 is started, the output airflow is divided into two parts through the air pipe 45. One part enters the interior of the connecting hopper 61 through the branch pipe 63 and the air distributor 64, and performs preliminary blowing on the peanuts before the material enters the crushing section 3, so that the dust attached to the surface of the peanuts passes through the filter screen 68 and enters the storage box 66. At the same time, the filter screen 68 adsorbs the magnetic particles mixed in the peanuts. The other part of the airflow enters the interior of the fixed plate 42 through the air pipe 45 and the air outlet 46, and the airflow flows inside the fixed plate 42.

[0032] After pretreatment, the peanuts enter the crushing section 3 and are crushed under the drive section 2. The crushed material falls into the guide hopper 41. When the peanuts fall, they come into contact with the airflow. The smaller qualified peanut pieces are blown by the airflow to the inclined plate 43 and enter the collection container. The larger unqualified peanuts cannot be blown away by the airflow due to their greater weight. They fall directly along the structure of the guide hopper 41 and the fixed plate 42 to the guide plate 48 and the discharge pipe 49, and finally enter the sleeve 54.

[0033] After the feeding device 5 is started, the motor 57 drives the screw rod 53 to rotate inside the sleeve 54 via the synchronous belt, conveying the large peanut particles that have entered the sleeve 54 upwards, and finally discharging them through the guide pipe 55. The outlet of the guide pipe 55 is located directly above the feed inlet 69 at the top of the connecting hopper 61. The large peanut particles enter the connecting hopper 61 through the feed inlet 69 by gravity, and then enter the crushing section 3 again for crushing. The above process is repeated until all peanut raw materials are crushed to the qualified particle size and discharged.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
