[0002] Mealworms are a common insect belonging to the family Carabidae. They are commonly used in animal feed and pet food. In some areas, mealworms can be processed and used as human food because they are rich in high-quality protein and fat. Their larvae are usually yellow or light brown and slender in shape, which are suitable for crushing and processing. During crushing, the mealworms will exude oil due to the increase in temperature during the crushing process. The crushing device is a device specially used to crush mealworms into smaller particles. This device is usually used to reduce the solid volume of mealworms to facilitate the extraction of their high protein or for further processing.

[0003] In the prior art, some mealworm crushing devices, when in use, are not completely crushed.

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides an embodiment of a yellow mealworm crushing device for high-protein purification, comprising a crushing box 1, which is one of the main parts of the mechanical equipment and is used to install other components. The bottom of the crushing box 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of stable cushions, which are used for support and protection. The top of the crushing box 1 is fixedly connected with a feed port 2, which is the entrance for the yellow mealworms to enter the crushing box 1. The right side of the crushing box 1 is fixedly connected with a motor 3, which is a key component for providing power. The driving end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected with a crushing knife 4, which is used to cooperate with the motor 3 to rotate clockwise to crush the yellow mealworms. The outer portion of the crushing knife 4 is rotatably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1.

[0033] The left side of the crushing knife 4 is fixedly connected to the turntable 5, the left side of the turntable 5 is rotatably connected to the adapter block 6, the left side of the adapter block 6 is rotatably connected to the moving block 7, the bottom of the moving block 7 is fixedly connected to the protective block 8, the outer portion of the moving block 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1, and the outer portion of the protective block 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1. The motor 3 rotates clockwise, so that the crushing knife 4 drives the turntable 5 to rotate. Under the limit of the moving block 7 and the crushing box 1, the adapter block 6 performs an arc-shaped up and down movement, and the adapter block 6 thereby drives the moving block 7 to move vertically up and down, so that the protective block 8 can also move vertically up and down under the limit of the crushing box 1.

[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The interior of the crushing box 1 is rotatably connected to a shaking box 9. The up and down movement of the protective block 8 hits the shaking box 9, causing the spring column 10 to elastically deform, thereby causing the shaking box 9 to vibrate. The bottom of the shaking box 9 is fixedly connected to a plurality of spring columns 10. The interior of the shaking box 9 is slidably connected to a filter box 11. The filter box 11 is used to screen the crushed mealworms. The bottom of the spring column 10 is fixedly connected to the interior of the crushing box 1, and the outside of the filter box 11 is slidably connected to the interior of the crushing box 1. The outside of the filter box 11 is installed with a limiting component for constraining the filter box 11;

[0035] The limiting component includes two blocks 12, which are used to limit the filter box 11 so that it can slide within the set range. The outside of the block 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1, and the adjacent sides of the two blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the filter box 11 respectively. The outside of the block 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the shaking box 9. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the filter box 11, and the handle 13 is used to pull the filter box 11. A holding component for collecting crushed mealworm powder is installed inside the crushing box 1, and the holding component includes a collecting box 14. The collecting box 14 is used to collect the crushed and filtered mealworms. The outside of the collecting box 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the crushing box 1, and a handle 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the collecting box 14, and the handle 15 is used to pull the collecting box 14.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The outside of the crushing knife 4 is fixedly connected to two fixing columns 16, and the outside of the fixing column 16 is fixedly connected to two stabilizing blocks 17. The stabilizing block 17 can be fixed to the outside of the crushing knife 4 through the fixing column 16. The outside of the stabilizing block 17 is fixedly connected to an auxiliary block 18. The outsides of the left and right auxiliary blocks 18 are rotatably connected to a scraper 19. The scraper 19 is used to clean and scrape the mealworm powder inside the crushing box 1. The outside of the scraper 19 is fixedly connected to two spring columns 20. The outside of the spring column 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stabilizing block 17. The auxiliary block 18 can make the scraper 19 rotate when it is subjected to force. When the scraper 19 rotates, it will squeeze the spring column 20, causing the spring column 20 to undergo elastic deformation, thereby preventing the scraper 19 from being damaged when scraping the inner wall of the crushing box 1, thereby enabling the scraper 19 to be used for a long time.

[0037] Working principle: When the equipment is used, first start the motor 3 so that the crushing knife 4 rotates clockwise with the motor 3, and the mealworms are poured into the inside of the crushing box 1 through the material port 2. The rotation of the crushing knife 4 causes the mealworms to be crushed into powder, but some mealworms that are not completely crushed still fall down. When the motor 3 rotates clockwise, the turntable 5 also rotates accordingly. At this time, the adapter block 6 is driven by the turntable 5 to move up and down in an arc. Due to the movement of the adapter block 6, the moving block 7 rotating outside the adapter block 6 can only move up and down due to the restriction of the crushing box 1, thereby driving the protective block 8 to move up and down under the restriction of the crushing box 1, so that the protective block 8 can hit the shaking box 9;

[0038] Secondly, the spring column 10 at the bottom of the shaking box 9 will undergo elastic deformation, so that the filter box 11 is shaken, and then the filter is carried out, so that the large particles of yellow mealworm powder can remain in the filter box 11. At this time, the filter box 11 can be pulled out by pulling the handle 13 to the right, and the powder can be poured back into the feed port 2 for secondary crushing. When the powder is full, the collection box 14 can be pulled out by pulling the handle 15 to the left for subsequent work.

[0039] Subsequently, when the crushing knife 4 rotates clockwise, it can drive the fixed column 16 to rotate, so that the stabilizing block 17 rotates accordingly. At this time, due to the support and cooperation of the auxiliary block 18 and the spring column 20, the scraper 19 can scrape the mealworm powder inside the crushing box 1. During scraping, the scraper 19 will rotate due to the cooperation of the auxiliary block 18, and at this time, it will apply a force to the spring column 20, causing the spring column 20 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
