Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery, in particular to an integrated enzyme method torreya grandis green fruit peeling and cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu (scientific name), also known as Torreya grandis Fort. var. Merrillii (Mast.) Rehd., etc., is an excellent cultivated type in Torreya grandis of Torreya Arn. in Taxaceae, and is a unique rare dry fruit tree species in China. Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu is native to Zhejiang, China, and is mainly produced in Zhejiang. It is also cultivated in Anhui, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places. It is strong, likes warm and humid climate. Young trees like shade, are not resistant to heat, avoid waterlogging, are relatively cold-resistant and barren-resistant; the seeds of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu are rich in nutrition, and the fatty acids are mainly linoleic acid and oleic acid, and the unsaturated fatty acids account for about 80% of the total fatty acids; the kernel of its seeds has a high protein content, contains 17 kinds of amino acids and 19 kinds of mineral elements, and is also a precious Chinese medicinal material. Removing the green skin of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu is an important process after picking Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu. Poor processing is likely to affect the quality and commercial value of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu.

[0003] At present, the main methods for peeling Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu are manual peeling and mechanical peeling. Manual peeling has low efficiency and uneven quality; mechanical peeling is mainly divided into a rolling cage type and a rolling mill type. The rolling cage type mainly applies extrusion and shear forces along the axial and radial directions of the green fruits of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu for peeling. However, the rolling cage type Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu peeling equipment has the disadvantages of low peeling efficiency, high fruit damage rate, and difficult cleaning of adhered seed coats; the rolling mill type Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu peeling equipment mainly uses a peeling roller shaft to apply extrusion force to Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu for peeling. However, due to the individual differences of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu fruits, the universality is not high. Based on the above, for Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu peeling, it is necessary to improve the processing flexibility of the equipment according to the individual differences of Torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu, and solve the problems of high mechanical peeling damage rate and low efficiency.

A peeling device inclined downward is installed from the peeling device driving mechanism towards the cleaning device. The above patent uses the combination of cutting knife peeling and wire peeling to reduce the rate of broken seeds and improve the practicability of the torreya grandis 'Merrillii' Hu peeling and cleaning machine. However, it uses a mechanical peeling method, and has the disadvantages of low peeling efficiency, high fruit damage rate, and difficult cleaning of adhered seed coats. Content of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following is combined with Figures 1-3 The utility model is further described in detail with examples.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A machine for peeling and cleaning green torreya grandis fruits using an enzymatic hydrolysis method comprises a main structure 1, a drum 15 is arranged in the main structure 1, a circulating enzymatic water pipe 2 is transversely penetrated in the drum 15, a scrubbing cap 12 is installed on the inner surface of the drum 15, in this embodiment, the scrubbing caps 12 are arranged in a spiral with a pitch angle of 30° and a total of 12 rows are installed, a semi-closed feed port 3 is provided at one end of the drum 15, and a discharge port 1501 with an auger structure 13 is provided at the other end of the drum 15, and in this embodiment, the rotation direction of the auger structure 13 is consistent with the rotation direction of the scrubbing cap 12.

[0022] A filtered water tank 7, a filtered water tank 8 and a circulating water pump 9 are installed below the main structure 1. The filtered water tank 7 is connected to the filtered water tank 8 through a water pipe, and the filtered water tank 8 and the circulating enzyme water pipe 2 are connected to the circulating water pump 9 respectively.

[0023] A filter screen 701 is provided in the filter water tank 7, and an isolation plate 6 and a filter net bag 5 are installed above the filter water tank 7, and the filter net bag 5 is installed above the isolation plate 6. In this embodiment, the filter net bag 5 is mainly used to collect the residue after the peeling of the filter drum 15, and the isolation plate 6 is mainly used to isolate the clean water sprayed by the reverse rotation of the drum 15, and isolate the mixture of the clean water and the enzyme water tank solution; when the peeling starts, the isolation plate 6 is removed, and the enzyme peeling solution enters the filter water tank 7 through the filter net bag 5 and then enters the filtered water tank 8, and finally is sent to the drum 15 by the circulating water pump 9 for multiple use; when the peeling is finished, the isolation plate 6 is installed to avoid the mixing of the enzyme solution for forward peeling and the clean water for reverse cleaning. The reverse clean water solution is discharged outside the water tank under the isolation effect of the isolation plate 6, and the enzyme peeling solution and the cleaning water are separated.

[0024] A residue discharge port 10 is installed on the main structure 1 below the drum 15 , and the residue discharge port 10 is located above the filter net bag 5 .

[0025] On one side of the main body structure 1, a control box 4 is installed. In this embodiment, the installation position of the control box 4 should avoid the spraying water source point. The control box 4 mainly realizes the forward rotation of the drum 15 for peeling, and the enzymatic water tank starts spraying when rotating forward; it realizes the reverse discharging of the drum 15 after peeling, and the enzymatic water tank stops working when rotating in reverse, and the clean water pipe sprays clean water to wash the materials. Inside the main body structure 1, a hair roller 14 is installed. The hair roller 14 is in contact with the drum 15. In this embodiment, the hair roller 14 is not driven by a motor and rotates according to the rotation of the drum 15.

[0026] Below the main body structure 1, a motor 11 is installed. A waterproof protection shell is installed outside the motor 11. The motor 11 is connected to the drum 15.

[0027] Working principle: When the peeling work starts, the equipment power is started, and the materials are sent to the semi-closed feeding port 3 by the bucket elevator 16. Under the action of the auger structure 13, the scrubbing cap 12 spiral structure and the semi-closed feeding port 13, the materials are prevented from falling. The drum 15 starts to rotate forward, and the enzymatic water tank is supplied by a water pump and sprayed onto the surface of the torreya grandis fruits to soften the fruits. Under the combined action of the rotating force of the drum 15, the scrubbing force of the scrubbing cap 12 and the enzymatic solution, the fruits are separated from the green peels, and the peeling takes 45 minutes. After peeling, the peels fall into the filter net bag 5 through the gaps of the drum 15 to the residue discharge port 10. The filter net bag 5 collects the green peels, and the enzymatic solution enters the filter water tank 7 for secondary filtration. After the filtration is completed, the enzymatic solution enters the filtered water tank 8 for secondary utilization to achieve circulation. After the peeling is completed, the drum 15 rotates in reverse, and clean water starts to be sprayed. The materials start to be discharged from the discharge port 1501 under the reverse action of the scrubbing cap 12 and the auger structure 13, and the materials are washed.
