Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an olive leaf removal machine, including a leaf removal machine 1, a conveyor 2 at the bottom of the leaf removal machine 1, a screening mechanism 13, a cleaning mechanism 3 on the conveyor 2, and a drying component 4 on the conveyor 2.
[0022] The leaf remover 1 includes a body 11 and a drive unit 12, with the drive unit 12 disposed on the outer side wall of the body 11.
[0023] The screening mechanism 13 includes a spring 131, a base plate 132, a screen 133, a defoliator plate 134, a filter screen 135, and a discharge plate 136. A spring 131 is installed on the lower wall of the defoliator 1, with one end of the spring 131 fixed to the base plate 132. A screen 133 is installed inside the defoliator 1, with a defoliator plate 134 installed at one end of the screen 133. A filter screen 135 and a discharge plate 136 are also installed inside the defoliator 1. Through the arrangement of the spring 131, base plate 132, screen 133, defoliator plate 134, filter screen 135, and discharge plate 136, when removing leaves from olive trees, the leaves will pass through the screen. The coordinated operation of mechanism 13 effectively separates olive leaves and fruits. The base plate 132 serves as a support structure, ensuring the stability and durability of the screen 133 and the leaf removal plate 134. The screen 133 has a properly designed aperture to screen out impurities of different sizes, while the leaf removal plate 134 is specifically used to remove olive leaves. The filter screen 135 further ensures the purity of the fruits and prevents small particles of impurities from mixing in. The discharge plate 136 is responsible for pouring out the processed olive fruits for further processing. The entire screening mechanism 13 is designed to improve leaf removal efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and ensure the quality of olive fruits.
[0024] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a power source 31, a water supply pipe 32, a water tank 33, a water outlet pipe 34, and a nozzle 35. The power source 31 is installed inside the conveyor 2. A water supply pipe 32 is fixed to one end of the power source 31, and a water tank 33 is fixed to one end of the water supply pipe 32. A water outlet pipe 34 is fixed to the water tank 33, and a nozzle 35 is installed on the outside of the water outlet pipe 34. Through the arrangement of the power source 31, water supply pipe 32, water tank 33, water outlet pipe 34, and nozzle 35, the olives after leaf removal are cleaned on the conveyor... In the transmission of 2, the power source 31 connects to the external water source to supply water, and then the water is transported through the water tank 33 to the water outlet pipe 34. The water outlet pipe 34 uses the nozzle 35 to spray water mist evenly to clean the residual impurities on the surface of the olive fruit. The water tank 33 ensures the water supply during the spraying process, while the power source 31 provides power to the entire cleaning mechanism 3 to ensure the continuity and uniformity of the spraying. The water supply pipe 32 is responsible for transporting the water in the water tank 33 to the water outlet pipe 34, and the water outlet pipe 34 then transports the water to the nozzle 35.
[0025] Furthermore, the air-drying component 4 includes a fixing block 41, a fixing rod 42, a fixing shell 43, a fan 44, and a protective net 45. The fixing block 41 is mounted on the conveyor 2, and the fixing rod 42 is fixed to the fixing block 41. One end of the fixing rod 42 is provided with the fixing shell 43, and the fan 44 is installed inside the fixing shell 43. One end of the fixing shell 43 is provided with the protective net 45. With the arrangement of the fixing block 41, fixing rod 42, fixing shell 43, fan 44, and protective net 45, when the olives are transported to the next device after being washed, the fan 44 is activated, generating airflow that blows onto the olive fruits through the protective net 45. The intensity and direction of the airflow ensure that while quickly drying the surface moisture of the fruits, no physical damage is caused to the fruits. The function of the protective net 45 is to prevent the fruits from being sucked in or damaged by the fan 44, and it can also filter out impurities that may be carried in the air. The surface of the dried olive fruits is dry, which facilitates subsequent storage and processing, ensuring the quality of the fruits and extending their shelf life.
[0026] Furthermore, the nozzles 35 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 34, and the water outlet pipe 34 is evenly distributed on the outer wall of the water tank 33. Through the setting of the nozzles 35, the special design of the nozzles 35 can generate fine water mist, effectively removing dust and small impurities from the surface of the fruit, while avoiding damage to the fruit.
[0027] Furthermore, one end of the water supply pipe 32 is connected to the output end of the power source 31, and the other end of the water supply pipe 32 is connected to the outer wall of the water tank 33. Through the setting of the water supply pipe 32, the water supply pipe 32 is responsible for transporting the water in the water tank 33 to the water outlet pipe 34, and the water outlet pipe 34 then transports the water to the nozzle 35.
[0028] Furthermore, two screens 133 are fixed on the corresponding leaf removal plate 134 and discharge plate 136 respectively. The leaf removal plate 134 and discharge plate 136 are arranged opposite each other with respect to the long side central axis of the machine body 11. The screens 133 can effectively separate olive fruits and leaves. The aperture of the screens 133 is designed to be small enough to ensure that only olive fruits can pass through, while larger leaves are intercepted on the screens 133.
[0029] Working Principle: During the leaf removal process for olives, the screening mechanism 13 effectively separates the leaves and fruits. The base plate 132 serves as a support structure, ensuring the stability and durability of the screen 133 and the leaf removal plate 134. The screen 133 has a properly designed aperture to filter out impurities of varying sizes, while the leaf removal plate 134 is specifically designed to remove olive leaves. The filter screen 135 further ensures the purity of the fruits, preventing small particles from entering. The discharge plate 136 is responsible for emptying the processed olive fruits for further processing. The entire screening mechanism 13 is designed to improve leaf removal efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and ensure the quality of olive fruits. During the transport of the olives on the conveyor 2 after leaf removal, the power source 31 connects to an external water source to supply water. Water is then transported through the water tank 33 to the water outlet pipe 34. The water outlet pipe 34 uses nozzles 35 to evenly spray water mist to clean residual impurities from the surface of the olive fruits. The water tank 33 ensures a water supply during spraying, while the power source 31 provides power to the entire cleaning mechanism 3, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the spraying. The water supply pipe 32 is responsible for transporting the water from the water tank 33 to the outlet pipe 34. Water pipe 34 and outlet pipe 34 then deliver water to nozzle 35. When the olives are washed and transported to the next device, fan 44 starts, generating airflow that blows through protective netting 45 onto the olives. The strength and direction of the airflow ensure that while quickly drying the surface moisture of the olives, it does not cause physical damage. The protective netting 45 prevents the olives from being sucked in or damaged by fan 44, and also filters out any impurities that may be carried in the air. The dried olives have a dry surface, facilitating subsequent storage and processing, ensuring fruit quality and extending shelf life. This utility model... The described drive component 12 is a vibrating motor, which enables the entire leaf removal mechanism to vibrate at a specific frequency and amplitude, effectively separating the olive fruit from the leaves. The use of the vibrating motor reduces the wear of mechanical parts, extends the service life of the equipment, and has a relatively low maintenance cost due to its simple structure. The power source 31 is a water pump. The power selection of the water pump needs to be determined according to the needs of cleaning and leaf removal to ensure that a stable water flow and pressure can be provided under different working conditions. The water pump is connected to the water tank 33 through a pipe, ensuring that the nozzle 35 can continuously obtain a water source during operation.
