Detailed Implementation
[0017] To provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure, features and functions of this utility model, detailed descriptions are provided below with reference to the embodiments.
[0018] like Figure 1The peanut butter grinding device shown includes a frame 22, with a crushing chamber 1 and a water tank 19 mounted on the top of the frame 22. It also includes a crushing component, a grinding component, a transmission component, and a grinding component. The crushing component is installed inside the crushing chamber 1 and is used to crush whole peanut kernels. The crushing component is fixedly connected to the upper part of a main shaft 4, which is driven by the input end of a drive motor 3 at the top of the crushing chamber 1. The grinding component is installed below the crushing component and fixedly connected to the middle of the main shaft 4. The grinding component is used to grind peanut pieces that are still relatively large after crushing. An inclined platform 9 is provided below the grinding component. The inclined platform 9 is located at the bottom of the crushing chamber 1 and has an inclined surface at its top, facilitating the sliding of the crushed peanut pieces into the grinding chamber 18. The lower part of the main shaft 4 is connected to the transmission component, which is installed above a mounting frame 12. The grinding component and the grinding component are connected through the transmission component, which can drive the grinding component, crushing component, and grinding component to move simultaneously. The top of the grinding component contacts the bottom of the inclined surface of the inclined platform 9. The grinding component is used to fully grind the crushed peanut pieces to make peanut butter.
[0019] The upper part of the crushing chamber 1 and the water tank 19 are both fixedly installed on the top of the frame 22. The lower part of the crushing chamber 1 and the grinding chamber 18 are both fixedly connected to the middle part of the frame 22. The mounting frame 12 is fixedly installed above the bottom of the frame 22. The receiving tank 21 is located above the bottom of the frame 22 and has no installation relationship with the frame 22. The frame 22 is replaceable.
[0020] A support plate 2 is installed on the top of the crushing chamber 1. The support plate 2 is used to install the drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the support plate 2. The output end of the drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the main shaft 4 to provide drive for the main shaft 4. The upper part of the main shaft 4 is provided with a crushing component, and the middle part of the main shaft 4 is provided with a crushing component. The lower part of the main shaft 4 is located inside the inclined table 9 and is rotatably connected to the inclined table 9. After the bottom end of the main shaft 4 passes through the bottom of the crushing chamber 1, it is installed at the first end of the mounting frame 12 through the bearing I11.
[0021] A crushing assembly is provided on the upper part of the main shaft 4. The crushing assembly includes crushing blades 5 and blocking blocks 7. Multiple crushing blades 5 are provided and are staggered on the upper part of the main shaft 4 to crush whole peanut kernels into granules. Multiple blocking blocks 7 are provided and are staggered on the upper side of the inside of the crushing chamber 1 to block and prevent peanut particles inside the crushing chamber 1 from splashing out from the top of the crushing chamber 1 when the main shaft 4 drives the crushing blades 5 to work. Multiple crushing blades 5 and blocking blocks 7 are staggered so that the blocking blocks 7 can work together with the crushing blades 5 to crush peanut kernels.
[0022] The crushing component is located below the crushing component. The crushing component includes a crushing part 6 and a fixing part 8. The fixing part 8 is located below the barrier block 7 and is annular. The cross-section of the fixing part 8 is triangular. The crushing part 6 is arranged below the fixing part 8. The crushing part 6 is sleeved in the middle of the main shaft 4 and rotates coaxially with 4. The crushing part 6 is hemispherical and there is a gap between the arc surface of the crushing part 6 and the lower surface of the fixing part 8. The peanut particles obtained after crushing by the crushing component will slide down the upper inclined surface of the fixing part 8 to the top of the crushing part 6. Both the arc surface of the crushing part 6 and the lower surface of the fixing part 8 are provided with abrasive particles. The peanut particles that slide down the arc surface of the crushing part 6 enter the gap between the crushing part 6 and the fixing part 8 during the downward slide and are crushed into peanut pieces under the action of the rotating crushing part 6 and the abrasive particles of the fixed fixing part 8.
[0023] An inclined platform 9 is provided below the crushing component. The inclined platform 9 is installed at the bottom of the inside of the crushing chamber 1 and has an inclined surface at the top. The bottom of the inclined surface of the inclined platform 9 is in contact with the top of the grinding chamber 18. The crushed peanut pieces fall onto the inclined platform 9 and slide down into the grinding chamber 18 under the action of the inclined surface.
[0024] The transmission assembly is located between the crushing chamber 1 and the mounting frame 12, and can drive the grinding assembly to rotate synchronously with the main shaft 4. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel 10, a synchronous belt 13, and a driven wheel 14. The drive wheel 10 is sleeved on the lower part of the main shaft 4 and rotates coaxially with the main shaft 4. The drive wheel 10 and the driven wheel 14 are connected by the synchronous belt 13. The driven wheel 14 is sleeved on the grinding shaft 15 and rotates coaxially with the grinding shaft 15. The bottom end of the grinding shaft 15 is mounted on the second end of the mounting frame 12 through the bearing II 16. The top end of the grinding shaft 15 is connected to the grinding assembly. When the main shaft 4 drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate, the driven wheel 14 will rotate synchronously under the action of the synchronous belt 13, thereby driving the grinding assembly to move.
[0025] The grinding assembly includes a grinding disc 17 and a grinding chamber 18. The grinding chamber 18 is fixedly connected to the crushing chamber 1. The grinding disc 17 is located inside the grinding chamber 18 and rotates coaxially with the grinding shaft 15. There is a gap between the grinding disc 17 and the grinding chamber 18. Both the outer surface of the grinding disc 17 and the inner surface of the grinding chamber 18 are provided with abrasive particles. After the peanut crushing that falls into the grinding chamber 18 enters the gap between the grinding disc 17 and the grinding chamber 18, it is further ground into mud under the action of the abrasive particles of the rotating grinding disc 17 and the fixed grinding chamber 18.
[0026] The gap between the grinding disc 17 and the grinding chamber 18 is much smaller than the gap between the arc surface of the crushing part 6 and the lower surface of the fixing part 8.
[0027] A water tank 19 is located above the grinding assembly, and a water outlet is located at the bottom of the water tank 19. A control valve 20 is installed at the water outlet, which controls the opening and closing of the water outlet. When the grinding assembly is grinding, the control valve 20 controls the water outlet to open, and the water in the water tank 19 falls into the grinding chamber 18. Under the grinding of the grinding disc 17 and the grinding chamber 18, the water mixes with the peanut paste and is gradually ground into peanut butter.
[0028] The grinding chamber 18 is located at the bottom away from the crushing chamber 1 and has a pulp outlet. Below the pulp outlet is a receiving tank 21, and the peanut butter produced falls into the receiving tank 21 through the pulp outlet.
[0029] In use, peanut kernels are fed into the crushing chamber 1 from the top. Simultaneously, the drive motor 3 starts, rotating the main shaft 4 and consequently the crushing blades 5. Under the action of the crushing blades 5 and the blocking block 7, the peanut kernels are crushed into peanut pieces. The crushed peanut pieces slide down the upper surface of the fixing part 8 onto the arc surface of the grinding part 6, and continue sliding into the gap between the grinding part 6 and the fixing part 8. Since both the arc surface of the grinding part 6 and the lower surface of the fixing part 8 are provided with abrasive particles, the peanut kernels are crushed into peanut crumbs under the rotation of the grinding part 6, falling onto the inclined platform 9, and then sliding down the inclined surface of the inclined platform 9 into the grinding chamber 18. Meanwhile, the main shaft 4 drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 14 to rotate. The driven wheel 14 drives the grinding shaft 15 to rotate, thereby causing the grinding disc 17 to rotate inside the grinding chamber 18. Since both the outer surface of the grinding disc 17 and the inner surface of the grinding chamber 18 are provided with abrasive particles, the peanut fragments falling into the grinding chamber 18 are ground by the grinding disc 17 to form peanut paste. At the same time, the water outlet of the water tank 19 is opened by the control valve 20, and the water in the water tank 19 falls into the grinding chamber 18. Under the grinding of the grinding disc 17 and the grinding chamber 18, the peanut paste and water are mixed to make peanut butter. The peanut butter falls into the receiving tank 21 through the slurry outlet at the bottom of the grinding chamber 18.

It must be noted that the disclosed embodiments do not limit the scope of this utility model. Conversely, any modifications and refinements made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are within the scope of patent protection of this utility model.
