[0003] In order to facilitate eating, existing nuts are pre-cut with a hole.

[0004] The above-mentioned related technologies have the following defects: they need to be opened manually on the nuts, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the efficiency of nut opening, the present application provides an automatic nut opening device.

[0006] The automatic nut opening device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An automatic nut opening device comprises a bottom plate, a material discharging rack is mounted on the bottom plate, a material discharging barrel is mounted on the material discharging rack, a material discharging pipe is fixedly connected to the material discharging barrel, the material discharging pipe passes through the material discharging rack, a material guide plate is arranged on the bottom plate, a material discharging mechanism is arranged on the material discharging rack, the material discharging mechanism is used to control the speed at which nuts fall, a material guide slot is arranged on the material guide plate, and an opening mechanism is arranged on the material guide plate;

[0009] The guide plate is provided with a blocking mechanism for preventing nuts from falling.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, in order to improve the efficiency of nut opening, the nuts are placed in the discharge barrel in advance, and then the falling of the nuts is controlled by the dropping mechanism, so that the nuts fall into the guide trough in turn, and then fall along the guide trough, and then the blocking mechanism is used to stop the movement of the nuts. Furthermore, the electric cylinder is started to drive the cutter to move so that the cutter cuts the nuts, and then the electric cylinder is used to move the cutter to the side away from the nuts, and at the same time the blocking mechanism no longer blocks the nuts, so that the nuts fall along the guide trough after cutting, so that the cutting results can be collected, thereby improving the efficiency of nut opening.

[0011] Preferably, the blocking mechanism comprises a blocking plate, a through slot is formed on the bottom wall of the material guiding slot, the blocking plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through slot, and the blocking mechanism further comprises a pushing assembly for pushing the blocking plate to move.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the nuts fall along the guide chute, the blocking plate is moved up by the pushing assembly, and the nuts stop moving when they come into contact with the blocking plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor rotates, thereby driving the fixed rod to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rod drives the connecting rod to move. The movement of the connecting rod drives the blocking plate to move, thereby making the blocking plate move up. When the drive motor continues to rotate, it drives the fixed rod to continue to rotate, and then the connecting rod drives the blocking plate to move down, so that the nuts can pass through the feeding chute.

[0015] Preferably, the material dropping mechanism comprises a movable plate, the movable plate is slidably arranged on the material dropping frame, a plurality of through holes for nuts to pass through are formed on the movable plate, and the through holes are aligned with the material dropping tube;

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to control the falling of nuts, the driving assembly is used to control the movement of the movable plate. When the through hole is aligned with the discharge tube, the nuts in the discharge tube fall. Since there is a certain distance between the multiple through holes, the falling time of the nuts can be delayed, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the falling of nuts.

When the protrusion contacts the trigger rod, the trigger rod is pushed to move. The movement of the trigger rod drives the discharge barrel to move upward. Then the discharge barrel moves downward under the action of gravity. When the protrusion continues to rotate, the discharge barrel is vibrated, thereby causing the nuts in the discharge barrel to vibrate, thereby facilitating the discharge of the nuts in the discharge barrel.

[0023] Preferably, the telescopic member includes a fixed sleeve, a moving rod and a support spring, the fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the unloading rack, a clearance groove is provided on the fixed sleeve, the moving rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove, one end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to the unloading barrel, one end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the moving rod, and the other end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the clearance groove.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lower material barrel moves, it drives the moving rod to move along the fixed sleeve. After the lower material barrel falls, the supporting spring pushes the lower material barrel upward, thereby facilitating the vibration of the lower material barrel.

[0025] Preferably, a slope is provided on the bottom end of the trigger rod, and the arc chamfer on the protrusion matches the slope on the trigger rod.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, since the trigger rod is provided with an inclined surface, it is convenient to push the trigger rod and the discharge barrel to move.

[0029] 2. In order to facilitate the smooth falling of nuts in the discharge barrel, start the rotating motor to drive the protrusion to rotate. When the protrusion contacts the trigger rod, it pushes the trigger rod to move. The movement of the trigger rod drives the discharge barrel to move upward. Then the discharge barrel moves downward under the action of gravity. When the protrusion continues to rotate, it makes the discharge barrel vibrate, thereby vibrating the nuts in the discharge barrel, which makes it easier for the nuts in the discharge barrel to be discharged.

[0043] In order to improve the efficiency of nut opening, the nuts are first placed in the discharge barrel 12 in advance, and then the rotating motor 55 is started to drive the protrusion 56 to rotate. When the protrusion 56 contacts the trigger rod 57, the trigger rod 57 is pushed to move. The trigger rod 57 moves to drive the discharge barrel 12 to move up, and then the discharge barrel 12 moves down under the action of gravity.

Further, the nuts fall along the guide trough 161, and then the drive motor 33 is started to drive the fixed rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rod 34 drives the connecting rod 35 to move. The movement of the connecting rod 35 pushes the blocking plate 31 to move, so that the blocking plate 31 moves up. When the nut contacts the blocking plate 31, the electric cylinder 22 is started to drive the cutter head to move, so that the cutter head cuts the nut. Then, the electric cylinder 22 is used to move the cutter 21 to the side away from the nut, and the drive motor 33 is used to continue to drive the fixed rod 34 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rod 34 drives the connecting rod 35 to move, so that the connecting rod 35 drives the blocking plate 31 to move downward, thereby no longer blocking the nuts. After the nuts are cut, they fall along the guide trough 161 to be collected in the collection box 6.

[0044] The implementation principle of an automatic nut opening device in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: pour the nuts into a discharge barrel 12, then use a vibration mechanism 5 to vibrate the discharge barrel 12, and then use a drop mechanism 4 to control the nuts to fall, so that the nuts fall into a guide groove 161 in sequence, and then use a blocking mechanism 3 to block the nuts from falling, and use an opening mechanism 2 to open the nuts, and further, release the blocking mechanism 3 from the nuts, so that the opened nuts fall into a collection box 6 along the guide groove 161.
