Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of papaya processing technology, specifically a seed removal device for papaya processing. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, papaya, also known as quince, milk melon, and longevity fruit, is a tropical and subtropical evergreen softwood shrub or small tree that can grow up to 8-10 meters tall. It contains milky sap, and its stems are unbranched or sometimes branch at the site of injury, with spirally arranged stipule scars.

[0003] During papaya processing, the seeds need to be removed. Existing papaya seeding devices generally require workers to first cut the papaya open and then use a spoon or water to remove the seeds. While this method effectively removes the seeds, it is physically demanding for workers and not very efficient. To solve these problems, a seeding device for papaya processing is needed.

[0008] Preferably, it further includes four first slide grooves, two sliders, a connecting plate, a first screen, a second screen, and a driving assembly. Each first slide groove is respectively opened on both sides of the placement barrel. Each slider is respectively fixedly disposed between the corresponding first slide grooves. The top of each slider is provided with an inclined surface. The connecting plate is fixedly disposed between the corresponding sliders. The first screen is fixedly disposed on the inclined surface of the top slider. The second screen is fixedly disposed on the inclined surface of the bottom slider. The aperture of the first screen is larger than the aperture of the second screen. The driving assembly is installed on the top of the bottom frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a dual-axis motor, a short plate, a second spring, and a rotating rod. The dual-axis motor is mounted on the bottom of the base frame. The short plate is fixedly disposed on the side of the connecting plate. One end of the second spring is fixedly disposed on the bottom of the short plate, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly disposed on the base frame. The rotating rod is fixedly disposed on the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor and is in contact with the connecting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a trapezoidal groove and a sliding block corresponding to the shape of the trapezoidal groove.

[0012] Based on the aforementioned solution, a bracket is also included, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base frame and fits against the output tube.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This papaya pitting device incorporates a series of components, including a processing frame, sliding rod, fixing spikes, and retracting blade. Through the coordination of these parts, it automates the papaya pitting process. Compared to the traditional method where workers first cut the papaya and then remove the seeds with a spoon or water, this device eliminates the tedious manual pitting step, allowing for batch processing of papayas and significantly saving time. It effectively improves the overall efficiency of papaya pitting. Previously, workers had to manually cut the papayas and laboriously remove the seeds with spoons and other tools, resulting in high labor intensity. This pitting device... The device utilizes its own mechanical structure to remove the pits. Workers only need to place the papayas and perform other necessary operations, without having to expend significant physical effort on the pitting process. This greatly reduces the physical exertion of workers during papaya pitting. By incorporating specialized pitting components such as fixed spikes and retractable blades, and with the reasonable positional relationship between these components and corresponding sliding and restrictive mechanisms, the device can accurately and stably remove the pits from the papayas, ensuring the effectiveness of the pitting process. Compared to manual operation, which may result in incomplete pitting, this device better meets the processing requirements. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[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] See Figures 1-9 A pitting device for papaya processing includes a base frame 1, a placement bucket 2, a processing frame 3, a sliding hole 4, a sliding rod 5, a side plate 6, a fixing spike 7, a limiting plate 8, a limiting hole 9, a first spring 10, a mounting plate 11, a shrinking knife 12, a nozzle 13, and a long rod 14.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the base frame 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire device. The placement bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 1, providing installation and operation space for subsequent components. The processing frame 3 is slidably connected inside the placement bucket 2, allowing for linear reciprocating motion within the placement bucket 2. Sliding holes 4 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the processing frame 3. The sliding rod 5 is slidably disposed within the corresponding sliding hole 4, with one end machined into a double-smooth bevel. This bevel is slidably connected to the limiting hole 9 on the side of the limiting plate 8. The limiting plate 8 is fixedly disposed on both sides of the placement bucket 2. This connection method restricts the movement trajectory of the sliding rod 5. The side plate 6 is firmly fixed to the other end of the sliding rod 5. The fixing spike 7 is vertically fixed to the side of the side plate 6. During device operation, the fixing spike 7 can pierce the papaya to achieve positioning of the papaya. The first spring 10 is fixed at one end to both sides of the side plate 6 and at the other end to the processing frame 3. The function of the first spring 10 is to provide elastic tension between the side plate 6 and the processing frame 3, so that the sliding rod 5 can be held in a specific position when there is no external force. The mounting plate 11 is fixed inside the placement bucket 2. The shrinking knife 12 is mounted on the mounting plate 11. The shrinking knife 12 is used to remove the pits from the papaya. The nozzles 13 are mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 11 and located on both sides of the shrinking knife 12. The nozzles 13 can be used to spray water to clean the papaya during the pitting process to ensure the cleanliness of the processing environment and facilitate the smooth pitting process. The long rod 14 is fixedly set on both sides of the placement bucket 2. The long rod 14 can facilitate the operator to carry and move the device or to perform auxiliary operation and control of the device during the processing.

[0028] First, refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, it also includes four first slides 15, two sliders 16, a connecting plate 17, a first screen 18, a second screen 19, and a drive assembly 20.

[0029] In the above embodiment, four first grooves 15 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the placement bucket 2, providing tracks for the installation and sliding of the sliders 16. Two sliders 16 are fixedly set between corresponding first grooves 15, and the top of the sliders 16 is machined with an inclined surface. The connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected between the corresponding sliders 16, serving to connect the two sliders 16 so that they can move synchronously. The first screen 18 is firmly fixed on the inclined surface of the top slider 16, and the second screen 19 is also firmly fixed on the inclined surface of the bottom slider 16. The aperture of the first screen 18 is larger than that of the second screen 19. During the operation of the device, when a papaya falls on the first screen 18, the vibration of the first screen 18 transports the papaya out. Water mixed with the fruit pits passes through the first screen 18 and falls onto the second screen 19. The second screen 19, with its smaller aperture, filters and intercepts the fruit pits, thereby ensuring the quality and efficiency of papaya processing.

[0030] Preferably, the drive assembly 20 is mounted on the top of the base frame 1, and the drive assembly 20 includes a dual-axis motor 21, a short plate 22, a second spring 23, and a rotating rod 24.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the drive assembly 20 is installed on the top of the base frame 1, and includes a dual-axis motor 21, a short plate 22, a second spring 23, and a rotating rod 24. The dual-axis motor 21 is installed at the bottom of the base frame 1, serving as a power source to provide power output to the entire drive assembly 20. The short plate 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 17, providing a mounting base and connection point for the second spring 23. One end of the second spring 23 is fixed to the bottom of the short plate 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the base frame 1. The second spring 23 provides elastic support for the connecting plate 17 and its connected components. When the connecting plate 17 and its connected components are subjected to external forces and experience vertical displacement, the second spring 23 can provide elastic support through its own elastic deformation. The rotating rod 24 is fixedly mounted on the two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 21 and is in contact with the connecting plate 17. When the dual-axis motor 21 starts running, its output shaft drives the rotating rod 24 to rotate. The contact action between the rotating rod 24 and the connecting plate 17 will push the connecting plate 17 to slide up and down along the first slide groove 15, thereby driving the slider 16, the first screen 18 and the second screen 19 to move synchronously. In this way, the first screen 18 and the second screen 19 can perform reciprocating screening action to continuously and effectively screen the materials in the papaya processing process, ensuring that the screening work can be carried out efficiently and orderly, and meeting the requirements of the papaya processing process for material screening.

[0032] Then, refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, a trapezoidal groove 25 and a sliding block 26 corresponding to the shape of the trapezoidal groove 25 are also included.

[0033] In the above embodiment, trapezoidal grooves 25 are formed on both sides of the placement bucket 2, providing a sliding track for the sliding block 26. One end of the sliding block 26 is slidably connected to the trapezoidal groove 25, allowing it to slide linearly within the trapezoidal groove 25. The other end of the sliding block 26 is fixedly connected to the processing frame 3. This arrangement makes the sliding of the processing frame 3 within the placement bucket 2 more stable and orderly. When the processing frame 3 is subjected to external force and tends to move, the sliding block 26 will slide accordingly along the trapezoidal groove 25. The trapezoidal groove 25 plays a limiting and guiding role for the sliding block 26, ensuring that the processing frame 3 moves along the predetermined direction and avoiding situations such as deviation or shaking that affect the normal operation of pitting and other processing operations. This ensures that the pitting device for papaya processing can stably and reliably complete all preset processing steps.

[0034] Secondly, see Figure 5In this embodiment, it also includes a bevel 27, an output port 28, and an output tube 29 corresponding to the number of the first screen 18 and the second screen 19.

[0035] In the above embodiment, each inclined opening 27 is opened on the side of the placement barrel 2, and the inclined opening 27 is connected to the internal space of the placement barrel 2. Its inclined opening design facilitates the material after being screened by the first screen 18 and the second screen 19 to slide down the slope of the inclined opening 27, realizing the directional discharge of the material, so that the qualified material can leave the corresponding position of the placement barrel 2 in an orderly manner. The output port 28 is opened on the top of the bottom frame 1 and is connected to the inside of the placement barrel 2. It serves as a centralized channel for the material in the placement barrel 2 to flow to the outside of the device. The material collected through the inclined opening 27 will eventually flow to this output port 28. The output pipe 29 is installed in the output port 28. Its main function is to guide and transport the material flowing out of the output port 28, ensuring that the material can be transported to the subsequent processing stage or collection container according to the predetermined route, ensuring the continuity of the papaya processing process and the smooth flow of materials, so that the entire papaya processing process can proceed in an orderly manner.

[0036] Finally, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, a bracket 30 is also included. The bracket 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base frame 1. Its position is stable and firm. The bracket 30 is attached to the output pipe 29. On the one hand, this attachment can effectively support the output pipe 29. On the other hand, it can drain the wastewater after cleaning the fruit pits.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] The pitting device for papaya processing first places the device in a suitable working area, ensuring that the support 30 at the bottom of the base frame 1 stably supports the entire device, and that the output pipe 29 is correctly positioned and well-fitted with the support 30, to ensure smooth wastewater discharge and stable material conveying. Then, the worker places the papaya in the processing frame 3 and pushes the processing frame 3 to move within the placement bucket 2. As the processing frame 3 moves, its two sides are slidably and orderly linearly through the sliding blocks 26 within the trapezoidal grooves 25. The processing frame 3 moves closer to the papaya in the placement bucket 2. At this time, the inclined surface at one end of the sliding rod 5 slides into the limiting hole 9 on the side of the limiting plate 8, limiting the movement trajectory of the sliding rod 5 and making its movement more stable. As the processing frame 3 moves, the fixing spikes 7 fixed to the side of the side plate 6 will pierce the papaya, achieving positioning and fixing of the papaya, preparing for the pitting operation. After the papaya is fixed by the fixing spikes 7, it is installed on the mounting plate. The shrinking blade 12 on 11 begins to remove the seeds from the papaya. During the seeding process, the nozzle 13 works simultaneously to spray water and clean the papaya. The dual-axis motor 21 is started, and the dual-axis motor 21, as the power source of the drive component 20, begins to operate. Its output shaft drives the rotating rod 24 to rotate. The rotating rod 24 is in contact with the connecting plate 17, pushing the connecting plate 17 to slide up and down along the first slide groove 15. Since the sliders 16 are fixed between the corresponding first slide grooves 15 and are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 17, the sliders 16 will move synchronously with the connecting plate 17, thereby driving the first screen 18 and the second screen 19 fixed on the inclined surface of the slider 16 to move up and down synchronously, realizing continuous screening of water and seeds. During this process, the first screen 18 discharges the processed papaya from the inclined opening 27, and the second screen 19 further screens with a smaller aperture, intercepting seeds and other particles. Wastewater is discharged through the output pipe 29.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
