A movable plate 106 is movably installed at the end of the push rod 109. The untreated betel nut raw materials are placed in the storage bin 101. The reduction motor A 102 drives the lifting conveyor belt 103 to move. There are partitions on the lifting conveyor belt 103. During the lifting process of the lifting conveyor belt 103, the materials can be carried upwards. Making it in a partitioned form can prevent carrying too much material at one time and is more conducive to subsequent processing. The swinging feeding mechanism 104 will push the materials towards the middle to assist in feeding. The reduction motor B 107 is connected to the eccentric bushing 108. The push rod 109 is connected to the eccentric bushing 108. The movable plate 106 is connected to the push rod 109, forming a crank-slider mechanism. When the reduction motor B 107 starts to work, it will drive the movable plate 106 to move left and right, thus achieving the effect of pushing the materials towards the middle.

[0030] The turnover vibration feeding mechanism 200 includes the rear end 201 of the vibrating bowl located above the top of the base.

There are small notches on the vibrating track main body 209 on the rear end 201 of the vibrating bowl, which are used to filter out smaller materials or debris, and the fallen materials will fall on the blanking chute A 206. Then the betel nuts will twist slowly along with their shapes on the subsequent vibrating tracks, and those that do not meet the requirements will be removed by the detecting rod 208 in the kicking vibration track assembly 203 and fall into the blanking chute B 207. Finally, the betel nuts will be turned over under the action of the turnover belt 204. The turned-over betel nuts will be arranged on the transport belt 205. The pair of opposed fibers 210 on the transport belt 205 is used to detect whether there are betel nuts. It is arranged at the head and tail of the transport belt 205. When the belt is detected at the head, the belt starts to run. If it is detected at the tail, the belt stops running, and then it will be transported to the next working step and then started again.

[0031] The material transfer module mechanism 300 includes a linear movement module 301 located above the base. The front side of the linear movement module 301 is provided with a moving tray 302.

Through the linear movement module 301, the moving tray 302 will move the whole to the transport belt 205, and the lifting cylinder 303 will lower the pin board 305. The feeding shafts 304 on the pin board 305 are used in pairs, and the feeding shafts 304 are movable on the pin board 305. When they touch an object, they will retract. Thus, an indenter that adapts to the shape is formed, which can press betel nuts of different heights and sizes. After pressing them, the moving tray 302 moves to bring the betel nuts into the mold, and then the lifting cylinder 303 raises the pin board 305.

[0032] The pressing mold 400 includes a movable clamping plate 401 located above the top of the base, a fixed clamping plate 402 is arranged on the front side of the movable clamping plate 401, a mold buckle 404 is arranged on the front side of the fixed clamping plate 402, and a clamping plate buckle 403 is arranged on the top of the mold buckle 404, a toggle roller 405 is arranged on the bottom of the mold buckle 404, a ratchet 407 is arranged on the top of the toggle roller 405, and a ratchet 406 is engaged with one side of the ratchet 407;

[0033] When the clamping device is clamped on the pressing mold 400, the movable clamping plate 401 will be pushed toward the fixed clamping plate 402. And the mold has a self-locking function. After clamping, it will not be released even if the clamping device is loosened. And the mold is equipped with a quick-change device for easy cleaning. The clamping plate buckle 403 is used to clamp the clamping plate on the mold, and it can be removed by pressing the two ends inward. The mold buckle 404 is used to fix the entire mold, and the entire mold can be removed by pressing inward. The self-locking of the two clamping plates after clamping is achieved by the ratchet 406 and the ratchet bar 407. The ratchet 406 has the characteristics of reverse locking of unidirectional movement. The toggle roller 405 controls the separation of the ratchet 406 and the ratchet bar 407, which is similar to the clutch principle. Therefore, the clamping device will not separate even if it is released in time after clamping. When it needs to be separated, it only needs to be pulled apart by the toggle roller 405 to release the mold. The clamped mold will be sent to the heating box 500, and its transmission is chain transmission, which is driven by a gear-reduced three-phase asynchronous motor. The mold is inside the heating box 500, and hot water vapor is passed into the mold from one end to heat the betel nut. The heating box 500 is covered with silicone cloth 501 on both sides. Finally, the heat is dissipated in the air cooling device 600, the mold is loosened, and the material is discharged.

[0034] A silicone blocking cloth 501 is provided on one side of the heating box 500 to shield the heating box 500 on both sides, so that it can also play a role in heat preservation when the mold enters.

[0035] Working principle: After the betel nut raw material is discharged from the funnel on the elevator 100, the betel nut is dropped onto the turning vibration feeding mechanism 200 through the elevator 100. The turning vibration feeding mechanism 200 is to make the flat side of the betel nut cut in half face downward, so that the betel nut will not be pressed sideways during the pressing process of the mold. The turned betel nut will be brought to the pressing mold 400 by the material transfer module mechanism 300. After it is clamped, it will be sent to the heating box 500 to heat it to make it soft, and then sent to the air cooling device 600 to cool and shape it.

[0036] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0037] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
