Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically a device for cleaning and removing the dried fruit from Dabie Mountain walnuts. Background Technology

[0002] Dabie Mountain walnuts, as the name suggests, refer to walnuts grown in the Dabie Mountains region of China. Located in central China, spanning Hubei, Henan, and Anhui provinces, the Dabie Mountains have an ideal climate and geographical environment for walnut cultivation, making them one of my country's most important walnut producing areas. Dabie Mountain walnuts are not only an economic crop but have also gradually become a cultural symbol and regional brand. However, walnut desiccation involves removing the walnut kernels from their shells. Some automatic desiccation machines use centrifugation, placing the kernels in a rigid mesh cylinder. A power unit drives the cylinder to rotate, and the kernels, due to gravity, remain at the bottom of the cylinder's inner cavity. The friction between the cylinder and the kernels gradually wears away the kernels. The walnut kernels inside, being harder, are not affected by the cylinder in a short time, thus achieving automatic desiccation. Walnut desiccation and cleaning refers to the equipment used to clean the desicched walnuts.

[0003] However, most existing methods for removing and cleaning hickory nuts involve manual tumbling, which is not only inefficient but also ineffective, thus reducing the overall cleaning effect. Therefore, we propose a hickory nut removal and cleaning device from the Dabie Mountains to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a device for removing the kernels and cleaning Dabie Mountain walnuts, which solves the problem that most walnuts are cleaned by manually tumbling, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect, thus reducing the effectiveness of walnut cleaning.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for removing the skin from Dabie Mountain walnuts, comprising a cleaning box, with support legs fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the cleaning box, a door installed at the open end on one side of the cleaning box, and one side of the door connected to an outer wall of the cleaning box via a hinge, and the other side of the door connected to another outer wall of the cleaning box via a lock, an isolation component installed in the inner cavity of the cleaning box near the bottom, a cleaning component installed on the outer wall of the cleaning box, with one end of the cleaning component penetrating the side wall of the cleaning box and extending above the isolation component, and a lifting component installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning box away from the door.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a Dabie Mountain walnut de-crusting and cleaning device, including a cleaning box 1, with support legs 2 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom surface of the cleaning box 1, a door 3 installed at the open end on one side of the cleaning box 1, and one side of the door 3 is connected to an outer wall of the cleaning box 1 via a hinge 4, and the other side of the door 3 is connected to another outer wall of the cleaning box 1 via a door lock 5, an isolation component 6 is installed in the inner cavity of the cleaning box 1 near the bottom, a cleaning component 7 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning box 1, and one end of the cleaning component 7 penetrates through the side wall of the cleaning box 1 and extends above the isolation component 6, and a lifting component 8 is installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning box 1 away from the door 3;

[0027] When cleaning the shelled Dabie Mountain walnuts, the user first closes the baffle door 3, then adds an appropriate amount of water to the cleaning tank 1. Next, the Dabie Mountain walnuts to be shelled are poured into the cleaning tank 1. By turning on the cleaning component 7, the walnuts are continuously tumbling in the cleaning tank 1. Through the mutual friction between the walnut shells, most of the shell residue after shelling can be removed. The isolation component 6 not only supports the walnuts, making it easy for them to tumble, but also isolates the sediment, allowing the residue to settle below the isolation component 6. Meanwhile, the floating residue on the water surface can be easily retrieved by the user using a net. After the walnuts are cleaned, the wastewater is drained first, then the baffle door 3 is opened. Then, by turning on the lifting component 8, one side of the cleaning tank 1 is lifted, making it easy for the walnuts located on the isolation component 6 to be poured out for collection by the user, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning the shelled walnuts.

[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The isolation assembly 6 includes a stainless steel mesh 61. Both ends of the outer wall of the stainless steel mesh 61 are fixedly provided with convex strips 62. Both sides of the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1 are provided with support strips 63. The opposite surfaces of the two support strips 63 are provided with convex grooves 64 for inserting the convex strips 62. One end of the top surface of the two support strips 63 and the side near the door 3 is provided with a screw hole 65. The inner cavity of the screw hole 65 is rotatably installed with a locking button 66. One side of the top surface of the two convex strips 62 is provided with a limiting hole 67 for engaging the bottom end of the locking button 66.

[0029] The two support strips 63 in the isolation component 6 can be fixed to the two side walls of the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1, and can also be inserted into the convex strip 62 installed on the stainless steel strainer 61 through the convex groove 64. By rotating the locking button 66 in the screw hole 65, it can be inserted into the limiting hole 67 on the convex strip 62, thereby improving the stability of the stainless steel strainer 61. The stainless steel strainer 61 can not only lift the hickory nuts, but also facilitate the hickory nuts to roll in the water, so as to clean the hickory nuts under the action of the cleaning component 7. At the same time, it can also filter the sedimented residue to the bottom, making it easy to separate the residue. By loosening the locking button 66, the user can easily disassemble and clean the stainless steel strainer 61, thereby improving the convenience of the stainless steel strainer 61 in the later maintenance.

[0030] See Figures 3-5 The cleaning assembly 7 includes a fixing frame 72 disposed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 and a drive shaft 73 disposed in the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1. A motor 71 is disposed on the top surface of the fixing frame 72. One end of the drive shaft 73 passes through the side wall of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the output end of the motor 71. The drive shaft 73 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 through a shaft seal 74. Multiple agitator paddles 75 are disposed on the outer wall of the drive shaft 73 and in the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1. A seated bearing 76 is disposed on the drive shaft 73 near one end, and the seated bearing 76 is connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 through a bracket 77.

[0031] The motor 71 in the cleaning assembly 7 can be mounted on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 via the fixing bracket 72, and can also drive multiple turbulence propellers 75 to rotate via the drive shaft 73. This allows the multiple turbulence propellers 75 to continuously tumble the hickory nuts in the water, thereby cleaning the hickory nuts. The drive shaft 73 can be supported and lifted by the seated bearing 76 and the bracket 77, thereby improving the rotational stability of the drive shaft 73.

[0032] See Figure 2 , Figure 6 The lifting assembly 8 includes a top plate 81 disposed on one side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1. Both sides of the bottom surface of the top plate 81 are provided with first double-ear fixing seats 82. The inner cavity of each of the two first double-ear fixing seats 82 is movably connected to an electric push rod 83. The bottom end of each of the two electric push rods 83 is movably connected to a second double-ear fixing seat 84. The bottom ends of the two second double-ear fixing seats 84 are connected by a base 85.

[0033] The top plate 81 in the lifting assembly 8 can be fixed to one side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, and the two first double-ear fixing seats 82 can be installed and fixed. Since the inner cavity of the two first double-ear fixing seats 82 is movably connected to the electric push rod 83, and the bottom end of the two electric push rods 83 is movably connected to the second double-ear fixing seat 84, and the bottom ends of the two second double-ear fixing seats 84 are connected through the base 85, the extension of the electric push rod 83 can lift one side of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 through the first double-ear fixing seat 82 and the top plate 81, so that the pecans located on the stainless steel strainer 61 can be poured out, so that the user can collect the pecans.

[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A drain pipe 9 is embedded on one side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1. A valve 10 is connected in series on the drain pipe 9. By opening the valve 10, the user can conveniently discharge the sewage and sediment in the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 9.

[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 The top of the washing tank 1 is equipped with a funnel 11, which can prevent the pecans from splashing out when tumbling, and at the same time make it convenient for users to clean up the residue floating on the water surface.

[0036] See Figure 1 A waterproof control switch assembly 12 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. The waterproof control switch assembly 12 is electrically connected to the cleaning component 7 and the lifting component 8. Through the waterproof control switch assembly 12, it can not only play a waterproof role, but also flexibly control the operation of the electrical equipment in the cleaning component 7 and the lifting component 8.

[0037] When cleaning Dabie Mountain walnuts after removing their outer shell, the user first closes the baffle door 3, then adds an appropriate amount of water to the cleaning tank 1. Next, the Dabie Mountain walnuts to be cleaned are poured into the cleaning tank 1. By turning on the cleaning component 7, the walnuts are continuously tumbled in the cleaning tank 1. Through the mutual friction between the walnut shells, most of the residue after removing the outer shell is removed. The isolation component 6 not only supports the walnuts, making it easy for them to tumble, but also isolates the sediment, allowing the residue to settle below the isolation component 6. Meanwhile, the floating residue on the water surface can be easily retrieved by the user using a net. After the walnuts are cleaned, the wastewater is drained first, then the baffle door 3 is opened. Then, by turning on the lifting component 8, one side of the cleaning tank 1 is lifted, making it easy for the walnuts located on the isolation component 6 to be poured out for collection by the user, thus improving the efficiency of cleaning the walnuts after removing their outer shell.

[0038] The two support strips 63 in the isolation component 6 can be fixed to the two side walls of the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1, and can also be inserted into the convex strip 62 installed on the stainless steel strainer 61 through the convex groove 64. By rotating the locking button 66 in the screw hole 65, it can be inserted into the limiting hole 67 on the convex strip 62, thereby improving the stability of the stainless steel strainer 61. The stainless steel strainer 61 can not only lift the hickory nuts, but also facilitate the hickory nuts to roll in the water, so as to clean the hickory nuts under the action of the cleaning component 7. At the same time, it can also filter the sedimented residue to the bottom, making it easy to separate the residue. By loosening the locking button 66, the user can easily disassemble and clean the stainless steel strainer 61, thereby improving the convenience of the stainless steel strainer 61 in the later maintenance.

[0039] The motor 71 in the cleaning assembly 7 can be mounted on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 via the fixing bracket 72, and can also drive multiple turbulence propellers 75 to rotate via the drive shaft 73. This allows the multiple turbulence propellers 75 to continuously tumble the hickory nuts in the water, thereby cleaning the hickory nuts. The drive shaft 73 can be supported and lifted by the seated bearing 76 and the bracket 77, thereby improving the rotational stability of the drive shaft 73.

[0040] The top plate 81 in the lifting assembly 8 can be fixed to one side of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, and the two first double-ear fixing seats 82 can be installed and fixed. Since the inner cavity of the two first double-ear fixing seats 82 is movably connected to the electric push rod 83, and the bottom end of the two electric push rods 83 is movably connected to the second double-ear fixing seat 84, and the bottom ends of the two second double-ear fixing seats 84 are connected through the base 85, the extension of the electric push rod 83 can lift one side of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 through the first double-ear fixing seat 82 and the top plate 81, so that the pecans located on the stainless steel strainer 61 can be poured out, so that the user can collect the pecans.

[0041] By opening valve 10, users can easily discharge the sewage and sediment in the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 9. Since the top of the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a funnel 11, it can prevent the pecans from splashing out when tumbling, and at the same time, it can make it easy for users to clean the sediment floating on the water surface. The waterproof control switch group 12 can not only play a waterproof role, but also flexibly control the operation of the electrical equipment in the cleaning component 7 and the lifting component 8.

[0042] In summary, this device can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning pecans after removing the kernels, while also reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0043] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
