Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural crop preparation technology, specifically a camellia fruit recirculation and bursting device. Background Technology

[0002] Hot air shell bursting of camellia oleifera fruit involves heating the fruit with hot air, causing the moisture inside the shell to evaporate and creating pressure that causes the shell to burst, effectively separating the shell from the seeds. After the shell bursts, the seeds are easier to separate, improving processing efficiency. Hot air bursting also prevents damage to the seeds during processing, thus ensuring their quality.

[0003] Existing camellia fruit cracking devices are difficult to achieve cyclic cracking and lack an efficient circulation mechanism. As a result, after cracking, the camellia fruits need to be rearranged manually for re-roasting, which not only increases the complexity of operation but also reduces production efficiency and results in a low level of automation. During the cracking process, the uniformity of the arrangement of camellia fruits in the device is not ideal, resulting in some camellia fruits being insufficiently or excessively cracked, leading to poor cracking effect.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a camellia fruit recirculation and shell-bursting device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the background technology by providing a circulating shell-bursting device for camellia fruit.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A camellia fruit recirculating shell-bursting device includes a box with a bottom opening, a perforated plate inside the box, and a hot air hopper at the bottom opening of the box for baking the material on the perforated plate. A first opening for discharging material and a movable door for closing the first opening are located on one side of the box. A hopper assembly is located below the side of the first opening, and a pusher plate for pushing the material on the perforated plate into the hopper assembly is located on the other side of the perforated plate. A second opening for feeding material is located on the top surface of the box, and a guide plate is located at the second opening. A lifting mechanism is located on the back of the hopper assembly for lifting and lowering it and pouring material into the second opening. A stop plate for evenly distributing material onto the perforated plate is also located inside the box above the perforated plate, and a scraper plate for spreading the material on the stop plate evenly on one side of the stop plate.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the back of the box is provided with a first screw mechanism for driving the pusher plate to move horizontally and a second screw mechanism for driving the scraper plate to move horizontally.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the movable door is vertically slidably mounted on the inner wall of the box, and a transmission unit for driving the movable door to rise and fall is provided on the narrow end face of the movable door; the transmission unit includes a second rack fixed on the movable door and a first gear fixedly sleeved on the screw of the first screw mechanism, and a plurality of second gears for transmission are provided between the first gear and the second rack.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the hopper assembly includes a frame and a hopper body rotatably disposed within the frame; a third gear is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the hopper body, and a first rack is provided on the top of the housing for rotating the third gear when it moves, so as to realize the automatic flipping and unloading of the hopper body.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the stop plate includes a plate body and a plurality of cone hoppers arranged in a dot matrix at the bottom of the plate body for storing materials; a closing plate is rotatably provided at the bottom opening of the cone hopper, and a push-pull assembly is provided below the plate body for driving the plurality of closing plates to rotate simultaneously so that the plurality of cone hoppers can discharge materials at the same time.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, a rotating component is fixedly provided at the corner of the closed plate. One end of the rotating component is rotatably connected to the cone bucket through a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The rotating component is provided with a slot.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the push-pull assembly includes a movable frame and a push-pull rod fixed to the end of the movable frame, the push-pull rod being located outside the housing; the bottom of the movable frame is fixedly provided with a plurality of insert rods corresponding one-to-one with the rotating parts, the insert rods being movably inserted into the slots.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. This utility model, by setting a perforated plate, a stop plate and a hopper assembly, can realize the cyclical bursting of camellia fruit. The camellia fruit is transferred to the hopper assembly, and it also plays a certain role in cooling during the lifting process. After multiple baking and cooling, the camellia fruit helps to achieve the ideal bursting state more evenly.

[0016] 2. By setting up a plate, a cone hopper, a sealing plate, and a push-pull assembly, the camellia fruit can be completely dispersed and evenly spread on the perforated plate as it falls from the stop plate. This ensures that each camellia fruit can be heated evenly, avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive shelling caused by accumulation or uneven contact.

[0017] 3. By setting up a first screw mechanism, a movable door, a lifting mechanism, and a second screw mechanism, the automated pushing, lifting, and flipping actions of this utility model greatly shorten the transition time of camellia fruit from one processing stage to the next, thereby improving the overall efficiency of shell bursting. Furthermore, the automated operation can reduce costs, improve safety, and prevent workers from directly contacting high-temperature equipment, thus reducing the risk of burns and other safety hazards.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] To address the limitations of existing camellia fruit cracking devices in achieving efficient and uniform multiple cracking processes, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 1-Figure 2 This utility model provides a camellia fruit circulating shell-bursting device, including a box 1 with a bottom opening, a perforated plate 3 inside the box 1, and a hot air hopper 2 for baking the material on the perforated plate 3 at the bottom opening of the box 1; a first opening for discharging material and a movable door 6 for closing the first opening are provided on the box 1 on one side of the perforated plate 3; a hopper assembly 7 is provided below the side of the first opening; a pusher plate 4 for pushing the material on the perforated plate 3 into the hopper assembly 7 is provided on the other side of the perforated plate 3; a second opening for feeding material is provided on the top surface of the box 1, and a guide plate 101 is provided at the second opening; a lifting mechanism 8 for driving the hopper assembly 7 to lift and pour material into the second opening is provided on the back side of the hopper assembly 7; the lifting mechanism 8 can be a screw module lifting structure or other existing structures; a stop plate 9 for evenly distributing material onto the perforated plate 3 is also provided inside the box 1 above the perforated plate 3; a scraper plate 10 for spreading the material on the stop plate 9 is provided on one side of the stop plate 9. The camellia fruit is baked on the perforated plate 3 and cooled during the lifting process of the hopper assembly 7. Then, the camellia fruit is evenly distributed on the perforated plate 3 by the stop plate 9, thereby realizing the cyclical bursting of the camellia fruit. The camellia fruit is baked and cooled multiple times, which helps the camellia fruit to reach the ideal bursting state more evenly.

[0030] The back of the housing 1 is provided with a first screw mechanism 5 for driving the pusher plate 4 to move horizontally and a second screw mechanism 11 for driving the scraper plate 10 to move horizontally.

[0031] In use, the camellia fruit to be popped is placed on the perforated plate 3 and spread out flat. Hot air is sprayed out by the hot air hopper 2 to bake the camellia fruit. After the set time, the movable door 6 is opened, and the first screw mechanism 5 drives the pusher plate 4 to push the camellia fruit into the hopper assembly 7. Then the movable door 6 and the pusher plate 4 are reset, and the lifting mechanism 8 lifts the hopper assembly 7 to the second opening of the box 1. The hopper assembly 7 is flipped so that the camellia fruit is poured onto the stop plate 9. Then the second screw mechanism 11 drives the scraper plate 10 to spread the camellia fruit flat onto the stop plate 9. The opening at the bottom of the stop plate 9 is opened so that the camellia fruit is evenly distributed on the perforated plate 3. Hot air is sprayed out by the hot air hopper 2 to bake the camellia fruit, thereby realizing the cyclic popping of the camellia fruit.

[0032] To improve the energy efficiency of the entire device and reduce the cost of automated control, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the hopper assembly 7 includes a frame 701 and a hopper body 702 rotatably disposed within the frame 701. A third gear 703 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft of the hopper body 702. The top of the housing 1 is provided with a first rack 102 for rotating the third gear 703 when it moves, thereby realizing the automatic tilting of the hopper body 702 for discharging materials. During the upward movement of the hopper assembly 7 with the lifting mechanism 8, when the third gear 703 contacts the first rack 102, the third gear 703 rotates, which drives the hopper body 702 to rotate within the frame 701. This allows for completely automatic tilting during the lifting process of the lifting mechanism 8, facilitating the rapid pouring of camellia fruit into the housing 1.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the automation level of the device and reduce its energy consumption, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the movable door 6 is vertically slidable on the inner wall of the housing 1. A transmission unit for raising and lowering the movable door 6 is provided on its narrow end face. The transmission unit includes a second rack 601 fixed to the movable door 6 and a first gear 602 fixedly sleeved on the lead screw of the first lead screw mechanism 5. Multiple second gears 603 for transmission are provided between the first gear 602 and the second rack 601. During the process of pushing the material from the pusher plate 4, the first lead screw mechanism 5 simultaneously opens the movable door 6, allowing the camellia fruit on the perforated plate 3 to fall into the hopper assembly 7 through the first opening. By transmitting the power of the first lead screw mechanism 5, the energy consumption of the device is reduced, and the automation level of the device is improved.

[0035] During the rotation of the lead screw of the first lead screw mechanism 5, the first gear 602 is driven to rotate. The first gear 602 drives multiple second gears 603 to rotate. The second gears 603 drive the second rack 601 to move. The second rack 601 drives the movable door 6 to rise and fall, so as to realize the automatic opening and closing of the movable door 6.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, in order to ensure that the camellia fruits on the stop plate 9 are evenly distributed on the perforated plate 3, and to avoid problems such as insufficient or excessive shell bursting due to uneven accumulation or contact, as follows: Figure 5-Figure 7As shown, the material stop plate 9 includes a plate body 901 and multiple conical hoppers 902 arranged in a dot matrix at the bottom of the plate body 901 for storing materials. A closing plate 903 is rotatably installed at the bottom opening of each conical hopper 902. A push-pull assembly 904 is located below the plate body 901 to simultaneously rotate the multiple closing plates 903, allowing the multiple conical hoppers 902 to discharge materials simultaneously. By simultaneously opening the closing plates 903 at the bottom of the multiple conical hoppers 902 through the push-pull assembly 904, the camellia fruits inside the conical hoppers 902 fall onto the perforated plate 3. Since multiple conical hoppers 902 are evenly distributed, and the camellia fruits collide with each other during the fall into the perforated plate 3, they are completely dispersed and evenly spread on the perforated plate 3, ensuring that each camellia fruit is heated evenly. This solves the problem of insufficient or excessive shell bursting caused by uneven accumulation or contact.

[0038] A rotating component 903a is fixedly provided at the corner of the closed plate 903. One end of the rotating component 903a is rotatably connected to the cone 902 through a rotating shaft, and a torsion spring 903b is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The rotating component 903a is provided with a slot 903c. The push-pull assembly 904 includes a movable frame 904a and a push-pull rod 904b fixed at the end of the movable frame 904a. The push-pull rod 904b is located outside the box 1. A plurality of insert rods 904c corresponding one-to-one with the rotating component 903a are fixedly provided at the bottom of the movable frame 904a. The insert rods 904c are movably inserted into the slot 903c. When the closing plate 903 needs to be opened, the push-pull rod 904b is pulled outward. The push-pull rod 904b drives the moving frame 904a to move. The moving frame 904a drives multiple insert rods 904c to move. During the movement, the insert rods 904c drive the rotating component 903a to rotate. The rotating component 903a drives the closing plate 903 to rotate, thereby opening the bottom opening of the cone hopper 902. At this time, the torsion spring 903b is twisted, the push-pull rod 904b is released, and the closing plate 903 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 903b.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely one implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
