Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of grain and oil processing, in particular to a device for separating seed shells, which is suitable for separating the shells and kernels of crops such as sunflower seeds, beans, rice, buckwheat, and oats. Background Art

[0002] For shelling grain and oilseed crops, particularly sunflower seeds and soybean kernels, three main types of shelling equipment are currently used: disc shellers, toothed roller shellers, and blade shellers. These devices all mechanically separate the shell from the kernel through the relative motion of a rotating blade and a stationary blade. However, each has significant drawbacks that affect shelling efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Disc Sheller: This machine separates the shell from the kernel by adjusting the distance between two grinding plates. The main disadvantage of this machine is a high kernel-shell breakage rate, which increases the difficulty of kernel-shell separation and reduces protein content. Furthermore, the grinding plates wear quickly, resulting in high maintenance costs.

[0004] Toothed Roller Shellers: As the mainstream equipment in the current market, toothed roller shellers use two pairs of upper and lower toothed rollers to squeeze the material, separating the shell from the kernel. While their crushing rate is improved compared to disc shellers, the powder content is still high, affecting product yield and separation accuracy. Adjusting the gap between the toothed rollers is complex, and replacement is difficult, requiring high operational efficiency.

[0005] Blade Sheller: Compared to the previous two types of equipment, the Blade Sheller has a significantly improved crushing rate and better shelling results. However, its moving and stationary blades wear quickly and are complex to replace. Furthermore, the stationary blade is mounted on only one side of the frame, allowing the machine to rotate in only one direction, making operation inconvenient and costly. Utility Model Content

[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides an intelligent shelling machine, including a shell, a feed pipe 3, a shelling structure, a discharge guide plate 8 and a discharge pipe 9 installed on the shell and arranged in sequence according to the material conveying path; the shelling structure includes a horizontally installed centrifugal disc 11, a rotating drive mechanism for driving the centrifugal disc 11 to rotate, and a centrifugal distribution cone plate 10 and a multi-layer cutter disc 6 fixed to the centrifugal disc 11. The multi-layer cutter disc 6 is an annular structure surrounding the centrifugal distribution cone plate 10. The inner ring portion of the multi-layer cutter disc 6 is provided with multiple layers of material inlets to be shelled facing the outer cone surface of the centrifugal distribution cone plate 10, and the outer ring portion is provided with multiple layers of shelled material outlets leading to the discharge guide plate 8.

[0024] Material enters centrifugal disc 11 through feed pipe 3. Centrifugal disc 11 is rotated by a rotary drive mechanism, generating centrifugal force. Centrifugal distribution cone 10 evenly distributes the material to the inlet of multi-layered cutter disc 6. Multi-layered cutter disc 6 shells the material layer by layer. The shelled material is discharged through the outlet of the outer ring and directed through discharge guide plate 8 into discharge pipe 9. The shelling process relies on centrifugal force and the relative motion of the cutters to separate the shell from the kernel.

[0025] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the multi-layer cutter disc 6 includes a plurality of shelling cutters and layer plates arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The shelling cutters can be detachably installed between two adjacent layer plates and between the bottom layer plate and the centrifugal disc 11.

[0026] The multi-layer blade disc 6 design ensures that the material is shelled gradually at different levels. The blades are distributed between the layers, making the shelling process more uniform and reducing the possibility of material breakage. The centrifugal disc 11 and the multi-layer blade disc 6 work together to achieve efficient shelling and increase shelling accuracy.

[0027] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a discharge guide plate 8 is positioned below the multi-layered cutter disc 6. It is an inclined, curved plate with its lower end opening into a discharge pipe 9, and its remaining edges sealingly engage the inner wall of the housing. After the multi-layered cutter disc 6 completes shelling, the material slides from the outlet onto the inclined discharge guide plate 8. The curved plate design allows the material to slide smoothly toward the discharge pipe 9, preventing blockage. The sealed fit between the discharge guide plate 8 and the inner wall of the housing prevents material leakage during the shelling process, enhancing the operational stability of the equipment.

[0028] The housing comprises an upper housing 2 and a lower housing 1, which are detachably connected by a flange assembly. The feed pipe 3 is detachably mounted to the upper housing 2 via the flange assembly, and the discharge guide plate 8 and discharge pipe 9 are welded to the lower housing 1. The flange assembly allows for easy disassembly and installation of the housing, facilitating equipment inspection and maintenance. The detachable design of the feed pipe 3 and discharge pipe 9 further enhances the adaptability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment, ensuring convenient use in various work environments. The lower housing 1 is provided with an inspection port 12 and a transparent observation window 7. The inspection port 12 faces the rotary drive mechanism, and the transparent observation window 7 faces the discharge guide plate 8. The design of the inspection port 12 allows for quick maintenance in the event of operational problems without disassembling the entire unit. The transparent observation window 7 allows the operator to monitor the shelling and discharge processes in real time, ensuring stable material handling and effective shelling. A mounting flange for the entire unit is provided at the lower end of the lower housing 1, and the outlet of the discharge pipe 9 faces downward and is equipped with a pipe connection flange. The mounting flange of the whole machine facilitates the fixation and installation of the equipment. The design of the discharge pipe 9 ensures the smooth discharge of the material after shelling. The downward outlet structure effectively prevents the residual material from clogging the pipe, and maintains the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0029] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the rotary drive mechanism includes a motor 4, a drive shaft 17 mounted within the housing via a bearing assembly and extending through the discharge guide plate 8, a driving pulley 20 mounted on the rotating shaft end of the motor 4, a driven pulley 19 mounted at the lower end of the drive shaft 17, and a belt (not shown) connecting the driving pulley 20 and the driven pulley 19. The upper end of the drive shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the centrifugal disk 11. The motor 4 drives the belt via the driving pulley 20, causing the driven pulley 19 to rotate the drive shaft 17, which in turn rotates the centrifugal disk 11. This transmission structure ensures smooth and efficient operation of the shelling equipment. The bearing assembly design reduces friction, ensuring reliable, long-term operation of the equipment.

[0030] The drive shaft 17, centrifugal disc 11, centrifugal distribution cone 10, multi-layered cutter disc 6, feed pipe 3, and housing are all coaxially arranged. The portion of the drive shaft 17 located near the discharge guide plate 8 is enclosed in a protective sleeve 18. This cylindrical structure is fixedly connected to the discharge guide plate 8 and rotatably engages the drive shaft 17. This coaxial arrangement ensures balanced and stable operation of the equipment. The protective sleeve 18 effectively protects the drive shaft 17 from impurities and material debris that may be generated during the shelling process, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0031] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the bearing assembly includes an upper bracket 13 and a lower bracket 15 welded to the inner wall of the shell, and an upper bearing 14 and a lower bearing 16 mounted on the upper bracket 13 and the lower bracket 15, respectively. A drive shaft 17 is mounted on the upper bearing 14 and the lower bearing 16. The bearing assembly supports the drive shaft 17 through the upper and lower brackets, ensuring its smooth rotation. The arrangement of the upper and lower bearings improves the load-bearing capacity and operational stability of the equipment, making the shelling process smoother and reducing equipment wear.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
