Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of macadamia nut processing equipment, in particular to a macadamia nut buffer bin. Background Art

[0002] Macadamia nuts, also known as macadamia nuts, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Their fruit is nearly round. During processing, before drying, macadamia nuts are sorted by particle size using a sorting machine. Because the proportions of different macadamia grades fluctuate, the graded macadamia nuts are typically stored in corresponding buffer bins. These are then fed into the drying chamber via one or two conveyor belts, improving feeding efficiency and simplifying equipment. Existing buffer bins are typically 2 to 3 meters high to increase capacity. When macadamia nuts fall from the sorting machine into the buffer bin, they easily collide with each other, cracking the shells and reducing the quality of the nuts. Furthermore, because macadamia nuts have hard shells, they collide with the steel buffer bin during their fall, generating a high level of noise that can be harmful to workers. Therefore, a macadamia nut buffer bin with an internal slow-down mechanism is needed to gradually lower the nuts into the bin, preventing shell cracking and improving the appearance of the nuts. This reduces noise and protects the hearing of workers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model proposes a macadamia nut buffer bin, which is provided with a slow-down frame inside, so that the macadamia nuts can gradually enter the buffer bin, preventing the macadamia nut shells from cracking, improving the appearance quality of the nuts, and reducing noise to protect the hearing health of the operators.

[0004] The utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The utility model proposes a macadamia nut cache bin, comprising: a cache bin body, a slow-descent bracket, an inclined plate, and a buffer baffle. The cache bin body is installed at the lower part of a macadamia nut sorting machine through a first supporting foot. A feed port is provided at the upper part of the cache bin body. The feed port is located below the discharge port of the macadamia nut sorting machine, and the feed port is communicated with the inner cavity of the cache bin body. The slow-descent bracket is installed below the feed port, and the lower part of the slow-descent bracket is connected to the bottom of the cache bin body through a second supporting foot. A plurality of inclined plates are staggeredly installed on the slow-descent bracket in a Z shape along the vertical direction, and both ends of the inclined plates are fixedly connected to the slow-descent bracket. The buffer baffle is vertically installed at the connection between the inclined plates.

[0006] Furthermore, a vertical opening is provided at the lower portion of the inclined plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the inclined plate is provided with a plurality of through holes with a diameter of 8 mm to 12 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, side baffles are provided on both sides of the inclined plate, and the side baffles are 5 cm to 10 cm higher than the upper end surface of the inclined plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a silicone pad is provided on the inner side of the buffer baffle, a nut is embedded in one side of the silicone pad, and a bolt is provided on the buffer baffle, and the bolt passes through the buffer baffle and is connected to the nut on the silicone pad.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the cache bin body is inclined, and a discharge port is provided below the bottom of the cache bin body, and a baffle plate is installed on the discharge port.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by arranging a slow-descent bracket below the feed port, the macadamia nuts roll back and forth between the multiple inclined plates, and thus slowly descend to the bottom of the buffer bin body 1, thereby preventing the macadamia nuts from falling directly, reducing the impact force between the macadamia nuts, preventing the macadamia nut shells from cracking, improving the appearance quality of the nuts, reducing noise, and protecting the hearing health of the operators.

[0018] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a macadamia nut cache bin, comprising: a cache bin body 1, a slow-descent bracket 2, an inclined plate 3, and a buffer baffle 4. The cache bin body 1 is installed at the lower part of the macadamia nut sorting machine through a first supporting foot 5. A feed port 6 is provided at the upper part of the cache bin body 1. The feed port 6 is located below the discharge port of the macadamia nut sorting machine, and the feed port 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the cache bin body 1; the slow-descent bracket 2 is installed below the feed port 6, and the lower part of the slow-descent bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the cache bin body 1 through a second supporting foot 7; a plurality of inclined plates 3 are staggeredly installed in a Z shape on the slow-descent bracket 2 in the vertical direction, and both ends of the inclined plates 3 are fixedly connected to the slow-descent bracket 2, and the buffer baffle 4 is vertically installed at the connection between the inclined plates 3.

[0019] After being sorted by particle size within the macadamia sorting machine, the macadamia nuts fall through the various discharge ports of the sorting machine. Each macadamia sorting machine has a corresponding buffer located below the discharge port, which temporarily stores the sorted macadamia nuts. After entering the feed port 6, the macadamia nuts roll along the bottom of the feed port 6 onto the topmost inclined plate 3. Due to the inclination of the inclined plate 3, the macadamia nuts on the inclined plate 3 continue to roll under the action of gravity, before falling through the opening 8 at the bottom of the inclined plate 3 to the next inclined plate 3. During their descent, the nuts collide with the buffer baffle 4 due to inertia. The buffer baffle 4 is equipped with a silicone pad 10, which mitigates the impact of the macadamia nuts. The silicone pad 10 is soft and produces a quiet impact. The macadamia nuts descend through the inclined plates 3 to the bottom of the buffer bin 1. The ramp 3 slows the nuts' descent, reducing the impact between the nuts, preventing the shells from cracking, and improving the appearance of the nuts. Furthermore, the reduced impact also reduces the noise level during descent, protecting the hearing health of the operator.

[0020] Specifically, a vertical opening 8 is provided at the lower part of the inclined plate 3. The macadamia nuts roll to the lower part of the inclined plate 3 and hit it, and then fall from the opening 8 to the inclined plate 3 of the next layer, avoiding the problem of the macadamia nuts falling directly and generating a large impact force, which may cause the nuts to break and make noise.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of through holes with a diameter of 8 mm to 12 mm are provided on the inclined plate 3. When the macadamia nuts roll on the inclined plate 3, the through holes can reduce the rolling speed, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the descending speed and reducing the impact force.

[0022] Specifically, side baffles 9 are provided on both sides of the inclined plate 3 . The side baffles 9 are 5 cm to 10 cm higher than the upper end surface of the inclined plate 3 . The side baffles 9 can block the macadamia nuts and prevent them from falling from both sides of the inclined plate 3 .

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a silicone pad 10 is provided on the inner side of the buffer baffle 4. The silicone pad 10 can reduce the impact force of macadamia nuts. The silicone pad 10 is soft in texture and produces a smaller impact sound, which is beneficial to reducing noise. A nut 11 is embedded in one side of the silicone pad 10, and a bolt 12 is provided on the buffer baffle 4. The bolt 12 passes through the buffer baffle 4 and is connected to the nut 11 on the silicone pad 10. The silicone pad 10 is fixed to the buffer baffle 4 by the nut 11 and the bolt 12 to prevent the silicone pad 10 from loosening.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the cache bin body 1 is inclined, and a discharge port 13 is provided below the bottom of the cache bin body 1, and a baffle plate 14 is installed on the discharge port 13. After a certain amount of macadamia nuts are stored in the cache bin body 1, the baffle plate 14 on the discharge port 13 is opened, and the macadamia nuts in the cache bin body 1 are transported to the drying chamber through a conveyor belt.

[0025] Of course, the present invention may have many other implementations. Based on this implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
