[0033] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model are as follows:
[0034] During use, put tomato fruits into the feeding hopper 2, start the first motor 3, the output end of the first motor 3 drives the spiral conveyor rod 4 to rotate, and the spiral conveyor rod 4 conveys the tomato fruits towards the pressing plate 5. After reaching the pressing plate 5, under the continuous conveyance of the spiral conveyor rod 4, the tomato fruits are squeezed against the pressing plate 5, and the tomato fruits are squeezed and broken, generating a large amount of juice. The juice, seeds, pulp, and peel will all be squeezed into the brush cylinder 6 through the extrusion holes of the pressing plate 5. At this time, under the synchronous action of the spiral conveyor rod 4, the first shaft rod 7 will drive the connecting rod 8, and the connecting rod 8 drives the rubber brush piece 9 to continuously scrape the tomato mixture. Under continuous scraping, the mixture is repeatedly scraped. Under the combined action of the flow of tomato juice and brushing, the transparent gelatinous pulp outside the seeds is broken, and the seeds will be exposed. Moreover, the filter plate 11 will filter out the juice, seeds, and fine pulp, and the large pieces of pulp and peel are discharged from the output of the brush cylinder 6 into the first collection box 18 for collection. The remaining mixture enters the cleaning mesh cylinder 13 through the connecting shell 12. Synchronously start the second motor 14, and the output end of the second motor 14 drives the second brush bristles 16 to rotate rapidly through the second shaft rod 15. The second brush bristles 16 quickly brush the mixture such as juice, seeds, and fine pulp. The remaining gelatinous pulp will further separate from the seeds. Under the rapid brushing of the second brush bristles 16, the pulp is further broken into a powdery mud shape. With the brushing of the juice, the powdery mud-shaped pulp will fall through the cleaning mesh cylinder 13 along with the juice and be collected in the second collection box 19. The seeds slide down through the cleaning mesh cylinder 13. There is clean water stored in the water tank 20. When passing by the upper side of the water tank 20, the pump 22 extracts water from the water tank 20 and sends it through the connecting pipe 23 to the water spraying shell 24,The output end of the water spraying shell 24 sprays water into the cleaning mesh cylinder 13. The seeds within the spraying range of the water spraying shell 24 will have the last small amount of fruit pulp washed away under the brushing of the second set of bristles 16 and the flushing effect of water, filtered through the cleaning mesh cylinder 13 into the water tank 20, and finally the clean seeds are directly discharged from the output end of the cleaning mesh cylinder 13. To sum up, through extrusion, the tomato fruits are quickly squeezed out of the juice and broken. Then, using the flow of the juice for brushing, combined with the scraping action, the gelatinous pulp of the seeds is brushed and broken, and the seeds are separated into the cleaning mesh cylinder 13. The juice is used in combination with the second set of bristles 16 for secondary brushing to brush the gelatinous pulp and the pulp into a puree and wash it out. Finally, clean water is used to conduct a final rinse on the seeds, making the seeds clean and discharged. There is no need for fermentation separation, saving a lot of time, and the seeds can be directly obtained at one time, greatly increasing the seed extraction efficiency of tomatoes. In addition, during use, the first set of bristles 10 is arranged on the side of the rubber brush sheet 9, which can increase the brushing effect during scraping and contribute to enhancing the brushing effect on the gelatinous pulp of the seeds. In addition, an arc-shaped toothed plate is arranged on the upper side of the inner side wall of the brush cylinder 6, and the arc-shaped toothed plate rubs and twists with the mixture, further increasing the separation effect between the seeds and the pulp. In addition, an upper side of one end of the brush cylinder 6 away from the extrusion cylinder 1 is bolted with a first mounting rod. A second mounting rod is arranged on the lower side of the first mounting rod, and the second mounting rod is rotationally connected to the first shaft rod 7. The first shaft rod 7 is inserted and clamped with the spiral conveyor rod 4. By removing the first mounting rod from the upper side of the brush cylinder 6, the first shaft rod 7 can be directly taken out of the brush cylinder 6, facilitating the maintenance and cleaning of the connecting rod 8 and the rubber brush sheet 9. In addition, during use, a first blocking block 25 and a second blocking block 26 are provided, which can increase the blocking effect on the juice, etc., and enhance the brushing effect of the liquid in combination with the seeds. An observation window 27 is provided to facilitate observing the brushing condition of the seeds inside the cleaning mesh cylinder 13.
