Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to longan processing equipment, more specifically, it relates to a longan pulp collector. Background Art
[0002] Longan, a tropical / subtropical fruit, primarily consists of a shell, pulp, and kernel. The flesh is tender, juicy, and exceptionally delicious, making it a popular choice. Longan can also be processed into dried longan pulp. Dried longan pulp is used as a soup ingredient, replenishing qi and blood and alleviating fatigue. The first step in producing dried longan pulp is to separate the longan pulp. In current longan processing equipment, after the pulp is separated, it is typically collected in barrels and then transferred outdoors or to a drying facility for drying. However, collecting the pulp in barrels presents a significant and often overlooked drawback: the longan pulp itself is heavier than the fruit itself. When barreling the pulp, the pulp beneath it is subjected to greater forces, which can easily squeeze out juice. Since this juice contains a large amount of sugar, this can lead to sugar loss from the pulp, impacting the quality of the final product (i.e., dried longan pulp), resulting in insufficient sugar content and a low sugar content. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a longan pulp collector for the purpose of addressing the deficiencies of the prior art, thereby preventing pulp from piling up and reducing the loss of juice in the pulp.

Detailed Embodiments
[0017] The present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments, but it does not constitute any limitation to the present utility model. Any person who makes a limited number of modifications within the scope of the claims of the present utility model is still within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
[0018] Referring to Figures 1 - 4 , a longan pulp collector of the present utility model includes a main bracket 2. An inner bracket 4 is rotatably installed in the main bracket 2, and one end of the inner bracket 4 away from its rotating end is elastically connected to the main bracket 2. An operating rod 10 extending outside the main bracket 2 is also installed at one end of the inner bracket 4 away from its rotating end. A motor 14 is installed at one end of the inner bracket 4 away from its rotating end, a driving member 15 is installed on the motor 14, a moving bracket 9 is installed in the main bracket 2, a driven member 6 is rotatably installed on the moving bracket 9, a driving portion connected to the driving member 15 is provided on the driven member 6, and a placing table 8 for placing the pulp collecting tray 3 is provided on the driven member 6. Among them, the pulp collecting tray 3 can be a dustpan. By pressing the operating rod 10, the inner bracket 4 can be rotated into the main bracket 2, thereby driving the motor 14 to move downward, realizing the separation of the driving member 15 and the driven member 6. Then, by pulling the moving bracket 9, the moving bracket 9 and the pulp collecting tray 3 above it can be pulled out away from the longan automatic shelling and pitting machine main body 1, which is convenient for removing the pulp, and at the same time ensures the safety distance between the worker and the longan automatic shelling and pitting machine main body 1, ensuring the safety of the worker. In addition, by driving the driven member 6 and the pulp collecting tray 3 above it to rotate through the driving member 15, the accumulation of pulp in the pulp collecting tray 3 can be effectively prevented, so that the pulp in the pulp collecting tray 3 is evenly distributed, preventing the phenomenon of pulp accumulation. Moreover, by using the pulp collecting tray 3 to collect the pulp, when drying or baking in the subsequent process, the pulp collecting tray 3 can be directly transferred to the outdoors or the dryer, without the need for dumping, leveling and other operations, which not only reduces the process, but also better avoids the phenomenon of juice loss during the operation.
[0019] In this embodiment, the driven member 6 is a circular sheet structure, and a plurality of groups of grids 7 arranged around its center are provided in the driven member 6 as the driving portion. Specifically, the driven member 6 can be integrally cast by using plastic or metal materials, or can be welded by using round steel into the shape as Figure 2 shown. The driving member 15 is a gear, and its teeth need to be set longer, preferably more than half of the radius of the gear, so as to facilitate the driving member 15 to penetrate into the grid 7. During operation, one of the groups of grids 7 is selected as the driving path, and the teeth of the rotating driving member 15 interfere with the isolation bars between the grids 7, thereby realizing the driving of the driven member 6. By selecting grid groups with different radii on the driven member 6, the rotation speed of the pulp collecting tray 3 can be adjusted, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the pulp.
[0020] Considering that the driven member 6 with a circular sheet structure has a relatively large diameter but a relatively thin thickness, a bearing bracket is fixed on the driven member 6 in this embodiment as the placement table 8. The rigidity of the driven member 6 is improved through the bearing bracket, thereby enhancing its supporting ability.
[0021] A spring 21 is installed on the main bracket 2. The end of the spring 21 is connected to one end of the inner bracket 4 away from its rotating end, realizing the elastic connection between the main bracket 2 and the inner bracket 4. In the working state, under the action of the spring 21, the end of the inner bracket 4 is higher than its rotating end and is inclined. At this time, the teeth of the driving member 15 are inserted into the corresponding grid 7. When the operating rod 10 is pressed, the spring 21 is compressed, and the end of the inner bracket 4 moves downward. The teeth of the driving member 15 will move out of the grid 7 and separate from the grid 7. At this time, the moving bracket 9 can be pulled.
[0022] The moving bracket 9 includes a mounting plate 16 and a bearing seat 17. Shaft rods 19 are fixed at both ends of the mounting plate 16. Roller bearings 18 are installed at both ends of the shaft rods 19. A track 20 is provided inside the main bracket 2. The roller bearings 18 are connected to the track 20. The bearing seat 17 is installed on the mounting plate 16, and the driven member 6 is installed on the bearing seat 17, realizing the movement of the moving bracket 9.
[0023] A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed on the main bracket 2. The inner bracket 4 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 5. A connecting buckle one 11 is fixed on the rotating shaft 5. A connecting buckle two 13 is fixed on the shaft rod 19 close to the inner bracket 4. A tension spring 12 is provided between the connecting buckle one 11 and the connecting buckle two 13. Specifically, the two ends of the tension spring 12 are respectively buckled on the connecting buckle one 11 and the connecting buckle two 13. When the pulp collecting tray 3 needs to be removed, press down the operating rod 10, pull out the moving bracket 9, and then release the operating rod 10 to reset the driving member 15. Then release the moving bracket 9 again. The moving bracket 9 moves back under the action of the tension spring 12 and is positioned when the edge of the driven member 6 contacts the teeth of the driving member 15. After the pulp collecting tray 3 is removed, press the operating rod 10 again, and the moving bracket 9 will move towards the inner bracket 4 under the action of the tension spring 12, which is convenient and simple to operate.
[0024] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: Place the pulp collection tray 3 on the placement table 8, and then start the motor 14. Drive the driven member 6 and the pulp collection tray 3 to rotate through the motor 14. At this time, the longan pulp falling from the main body 1 of the longan automatic shelling and pitting machine will enter the pulp collection tray 3. And due to the rotation of the pulp collection tray 3, the pulp will be more evenly distributed in the pulp collection tray 3. When the pulp collection tray 3 is full of pulp, press down the operating rod 10, pull out the moving bracket 9, and then release the operating rod 10 to reset the driving member 15. Then release the moving bracket 9 again. The moving bracket 9 moves back under the action of the tension spring 12 and is positioned when the edge of the driven member 6 contacts the teeth of the driving member 15, and then the pulp collection tray 3 can be removed. After the pulp collection tray 3 is removed, press the operating rod 10 again, and the moving bracket 9 will move towards the inner bracket 4 under the action of the tension spring 12.
[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the structure of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, which will not affect the implementation effect of the present utility model and the practicability of the patent.
