Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of citrus seed extraction technology, and in particular to a device for extracting seeds from hybrid citrus fruits. Background Technology

[0002] Citrus hybrids refer to offspring produced through hybridization between different citrus varieties. The citrus family has a very strong hybridization ability, and different varieties can freely hybridize to produce new varieties. Citrus hybridization is mainly achieved through natural or artificial hybridization. When producing juice from citrus hybrids, seedless or seedless citrus fruits are easier to process and store. Furthermore, by removing the seeds and conducting hybridization breeding, new citrus varieties with excellent traits can be cultivated. Therefore, a seed-removing device is needed to extract the seeds from citrus hybrids.

[0003] There are still some problems in the use of existing citrus hybrid fruit seed extraction devices. Currently, the seed extraction device involves putting the peeled and cut citrus into a centrifuge and using centrifugation to extract the seeds. The seed extraction efficiency is slow, and it is not convenient to separate the seeds, pulp and juice after seed extraction. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a citrus hybrid fruit seed extraction device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The drive separation structure includes a servo motor. The output end of the servo motor passes through the inner wall of the mounting base and extends to the upper surface of the mounting base. A conductive slip ring is fixedly connected to the end of the servo motor. A separation disk is sleeved on the outside of the conductive slip ring. An arc-shaped block is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the separation disk. A first vibration net is provided at the lower part of the interior of the separation disk outside the arc-shaped block. Four support rods are arranged in a rectangular pattern near the edge of the upper surface of the arc-shaped block. A perforated centrifuge cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the four support rods. A bearing is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the perforated centrifuge cylinder.

[0007] Electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the center of both sides of the collection box. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the output end of the two electric telescopic rods. A lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frame. The lifting cylinder is sleeved on the outside of the bearing. A drain hole is opened at the front of the center of the lower end face of the separation plate.

[0008] With the above technical solution, the separation efficiency is improved by driving the separation structure, and the first and second vibration nets set at an incline facilitate the rapid separation of juice, pulp and seeds.

[0009] Furthermore, a first electric gate valve is fixedly connected to the lower front end of the front end face of the first vibration net front separation disc, and a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric gate valve. The output end of the discharge pipe passes through the front inner wall of the collection box and leads to the front end of the collection box.

[0010] The above technical solution involves opening the first electric gate valve, allowing the seeds to pass through the first electric gate valve and be discharged through the discharge pipe.

A protrusion is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the four vibration motors.

[0012] The above technical solution controls the start of a vibration motor, which drives the protrusions to rotate. The protrusions strike the perforated centrifuge cylinder to generate vibration, which, in conjunction with centrifugation, improves the separation efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the first vibration net is inclinedly disposed inside the lower part of the separation disc, with its rear end higher than its front end;

[0014] The above technical solution allows the seeds to be vibrated and displaced to the front end of the separating disc for discharge by controlling the activation of the first vibration net.

[0015] Furthermore, a discharge hole is provided at the lower center of the front end face of the collection box, and a second electric gate valve is fixedly connected to the front end of the discharge hole;

[0016] The above technical solution allows the pulp to be discharged through the discharge hole and the second electric gate valve by opening the second electric gate valve.

[0018] The above technical solution allows for the easy discharge of juice stored inside the collection box via a drain valve.

[0019] Furthermore, a second vibration net is provided at the lower part of the inside of the collection box. The second vibration net is inclined inside the collection box, and its rear end is higher than its front end.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, during the separation process, the seeds enter the centrifuge cylinder through the holes and fall onto the first vibrating net between the centrifuge cylinder and the lifting cylinder. By activating the first vibrating net, multiple seeds slowly move towards the front end. By opening the first electric gate valve, the seeds are discharged into the discharge pipe through the first electric gate valve, while the juice enters the separation disc through the first vibrating net and then enters the collection box through the drain hole, which facilitates the separation of seeds and juice.

[0024] 3. In this utility model, two electric telescopic rods are controlled to extend, and the two electric telescopic rods push the connecting frame to move upward, thereby driving the lifting cylinder to move upward, exposing the four support rods. After the fruit pulp is separated from the seeds, it falls into the upper end of the second vibrating net inside the collection box after being guided by the arc-shaped block. By starting the second vibrating net, the fruit pulp slowly moves to the front end. Then, the second electric gate valve is controlled to open, and the fruit pulp is discharged through the discharge hole and the second electric gate valve.

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.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is a citrus hybrid fruit seed extraction device, which includes a collection box 1 and a control box 7. The control box 7 is located on one side of the collection box 1. A mounting base 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower inner wall of the collection box 1. A drive separation structure 2 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting base 3. In use, the separation efficiency is improved by driving the separation structure 2.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the drive separation structure 2 includes a servo motor 201. The output end of the servo motor 201 passes through the inner wall of the mounting base 3 and extends to the upper surface of the mounting base 3. A conductive slip ring 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the servo motor 201. A separation disk 203 is sleeved on the outside of the conductive slip ring 202. An arc-shaped block 207 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the separation disk 203. A first vibration net 204 is provided at the lower part of the interior of the separation disk 203 outside the arc-shaped block 207. Four support rods 206 are arranged in a rectangular shape near the edge of the upper surface of the arc-shaped block 207. A perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the four support rods 206. A bearing 209 is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208. During the separation process, the seeds enter the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 through the holes and fall onto the first vibration net 204 between the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 and the lifting cylinder 6. By activating the first vibration net 204, multiple seeds are slowly moved towards the front end.

[0034] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, electric telescopic rods 4 are fixedly connected to the center of both sides of the collection box 1. Connecting frames 5 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 4. Lifting cylinders 6 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting frames 5. The lifting cylinders 6 are sleeved on the outside of the bearings 209. A drain hole 213 is opened at the front of the center of the lower end face of the separating disc 203. By controlling the extension of the two electric telescopic rods 4, the two electric telescopic rods 4 push the connecting frames 5 to move upward, thereby driving the lifting cylinders 6 to move upward, so that the four support rods 206 are exposed. The pulp after the seeds are separated falls into the collection box 1 after being guided by the arc-shaped block 207.

[0035] A first electric gate valve 205 is fixedly connected to the lower front end of the front end of the separation disc 203 of the first vibrating net 204. A discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric gate valve 205. The output end of the discharge pipe 8 passes through the front inner wall of the collection box 1 and leads to the front end of the collection box 1. By opening the first electric gate valve 205, the seeds are discharged through the first electric gate valve 205 and the discharge pipe 8.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, a storage groove 210 is provided at the center of the upper end face of each of the four support rods 206. A vibration motor 211 is fixedly connected to the upper part of each of the four storage grooves 210. A protrusion 212 is fixedly connected to the output end of each of the four vibration motors 211. By controlling the vibration motor 211 to start, the vibration motor 211 drives the protrusion 212 to rotate. The protrusion 212 strikes the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 to generate vibration, which improves the separation efficiency in conjunction with centrifugation. The first vibration net 204 is inclinedly set inside the separation disk 203 at the lower part, with the rear end higher than the front end. By controlling the first vibration net 204 to start, it is convenient to vibrate and move the seeds to the front end of the separation disk 203 for discharge.

[0037] A discharge hole 11 is provided at the lower center of the front end face of the collection box 1. A second electric gate valve 9 is fixedly connected to the front end of the discharge hole 11. By opening the second electric gate valve 9, the pulp is discharged through the discharge hole 11 and the second electric gate valve 9. A drain valve 10 is fixedly connected at the front center of the lower end face of the collection box 1. The drain valve 10 facilitates the discharge of the juice stored inside the collection box 1. A second vibration net 12 is provided at the lower part of the inside of the collection box 1. The second vibration net 12 is inclined inside the collection box 1, and the rear end is higher than the front end, which facilitates the separation of pulp and juice. The pulp is then vibrated and displaced to the position of the discharge hole 11 by the second vibration net 12 and discharged.

[0038] Working principle: In use, after peeling and cutting the citrus hybrid, it is placed inside the perforated centrifuge tube 208 inside the lifting cylinder 6. The servo motor 201 is started by controlling the servo motor 201, which drives the rotating end of the conductive slip ring 202 and the separation disk 203 to rotate. Then, the four support rods 206 drive the perforated centrifuge tube 208 to rotate for separation. During the rotation of the conductive slip ring 202, it provides power to the four vibration motors 211. The four vibration motors 211 drive the four protrusions 212 to rotate. The protruding parts of the four protrusions 212 strike the perforated centrifuge tube 208, realizing centrifugation and vibration at the same time, thereby improving the separation efficiency.

[0039] During the separation process, the seeds enter the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 through the holes and fall onto the first vibrating net 204 between the perforated centrifuge cylinder 208 and the lifting cylinder 6. By activating the first vibrating net 204, multiple seeds slowly move towards the front end. By opening the first electric gate valve 205, the seeds enter the discharge pipe 8 through the first electric gate valve 205 and are discharged. Meanwhile, the juice enters the separation disc 203 through the first vibrating net 204 and then enters the collection box 1 through the drain hole 213.

[0040] After separation, the two electric telescopic rods 4 are extended, and the two electric telescopic rods 4 push the connecting frame 5 to move upward, thereby driving the lifting cylinder 6 to move upward, exposing the four support rods 206. After the seeds are separated, the pulp is guided by the arc block 207 and falls into the upper end of the second vibration net 12 inside the collection box 1. By starting the second vibration net 12, the pulp slowly moves to the front end. Then, the second electric gate valve 9 is opened, and the pulp is discharged through the discharge hole 11 and the second electric gate valve 9. By opening the drain valve 10, the juice is discharged through the drain valve 10, which facilitates the rapid separation of seeds, pulp and juice.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
