Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a non-crushable fruit and vegetable seed extraction device, specifically belonging to the field of agricultural seed extraction technology. Background Technology

[0002] Cucumber seed extraction refers to separating cucumber seeds from cucumber pulp for planting. Currently, the common method for cucumber seed extraction is to first crush the whole cucumber and then sift and filter out the cucumber seeds from the mixture of pulp, flesh, and seeds.

[0003] However, the method of crushing cucumbers as a whole is rather crude, resulting in a large amount of pulp and melon fragments in the crushed mixture. When separating cucumber seeds from the mixture, the screening equipment is under great pressure, and the large amount of waste leads to a great deal of pressure in waste disposal. Moreover, directly crushing the pulp is also a waste. In addition, the cucumber seeds are covered with a layer of gelatinous substance containing germination inhibitors, which needs to be removed. Stirring can only remove the pulp adhering to the cucumber seeds, but cannot remove the gelatinous substance. Therefore, fermentation or enzymatic hydrolysis is also required to remove it. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-crushing fruit seed extraction device to solve the problems of large amount of waste and low efficiency in peeling off gelatinous substances during cucumber seed extraction.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: the new model includes a device housing and a drive motor, and also includes a fixing block and a seed-taking component;

[0006] The device housing has a cavity inside. A drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the device housing by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor is inserted into the cavity. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the top surface of the device housing. A seed-taking component is installed inside the device housing and is located below the fixing block.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive motor increases the driving force of the entire device, and drives the seed-collecting component to rotate, thereby enabling the seed-collecting component to perform seed-collecting operations.

[0008] The seed-collecting assembly includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a connecting rod, and a seed-collecting tube; the first bevel gear is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the drive motor, one end of the first bevel gear is connected to the second bevel gear, the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the second bevel gear, the top end of the connecting rod is connected to the seed-collecting tube, and the seed-collecting tube is fixedly inserted into the top surface of the device housing;

[0009] Furthermore, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear work together to enable the output shaft of the drive motor to drive the connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the seed-collecting tube to rotate. This allows the seed-collecting tube to collect seeds from the cucumber pulp, thus avoiding a large amount of waste from cucumber seed collection, reducing the pressure of waste disposal, and preventing the waste of fruit pulp.

[0010] A stirring rack is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The stirring rack is set inside the device housing. A groove is opened on the inner side wall of the device housing corresponding to the stirring rack.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting rod can also drive the stirring rack to rotate, and the stirring rack can drive the water flow to stir, so as to remove the pulp, gelatinous substance and pathogens on the surface of the seeds.

[0012] The outer casing of the device is fitted with a seed-collecting plate from the outside in. The seed-collecting plate has a seed-collecting groove and a water passage groove. A heating rod is installed below the seed-collecting plate and is fixedly installed inside the outer casing of the device.

[0013] Furthermore, seeds are collected through seed collection slots on the seed collection plate, and water is circulated through water channels on the seed collection plate. The water is heated by a heating rod to kill pathogens on the seed surface and allow the seeds to fully absorb water and swell, which is beneficial for subsequent seedling treatment.

[0014] A fixed motor is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed block. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the fixed motor. An adjusting block is connected to the outside of the threaded rod. A feeding roller is connected to one side of the adjusting block. The output shaft of the adjusting motor is fixedly connected to the other side of the feeding roller.

[0015] Furthermore, a fixed motor can drive a threaded rod to rotate, which in turn drives two adjusting blocks to move relative to or away from each other. This allows the two feed rollers to move closer or further apart, making the device suitable for cucumbers of different sizes and improving its applicability.

[0016] A sliding groove is provided on one side of the fixed block corresponding to the adjusting motor. The adjusting motor is installed inside the fixed block. A water inlet is provided on one side of the fixed block and is fixedly installed on the top surface of the device housing.

[0017] Furthermore, water or suitable agents can be injected into the device through the water inlet to prevent seedling diseases.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The structure of rotating the seed tube and stirring rack inside the device shell allows the rotating seed tube to extract seeds from cucumbers, avoiding large amounts of waste from cucumber seed extraction, reducing the pressure of waste disposal, and preventing waste of fruit pulp. The stirring rack can drive water flow to stir, so as to remove the pulp, gelatinous substances and pathogens on the surface of the seeds.

[0020] 2. The structure of the seed collection plate and heating rod allows the seed collection slot on the seed collection plate to collect seeds, the water circulation through the water channel on the seed collection plate, and the heating rod to heat the water, thereby killing pathogens on the seed surface and allowing the seeds to fully absorb water and swell, which is beneficial for subsequent seedling treatment.

[0021] 3. The structure of rotating the threaded rod on one side of the fixed block allows the threaded rod to drive the two adjusting blocks to move relative to or away from each other, thereby allowing the two feed rollers to move closer or further apart. This makes the device suitable for cucumbers of different sizes and improves its applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments are described clearly and completely.

[0029] Specific implementation method one: as follows Figure 1-3As shown, the device consists of a housing 1, a drive motor 2, and a fixing block 11. The drive motor 2 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the housing 1 by bolts. The output shaft of the drive motor 2 is inserted into the housing 1. The fixing block 11 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the housing 1 by a support column. A first bevel gear 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 2. A second bevel gear 4 is meshed with one end of the first bevel gear 3. A connecting rod 5 is fixedly installed inside the second bevel gear 4. A seed-collecting tube 6 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 5. The upper end of the seed-collecting tube 6 is connected to the outside. The drive motor 2 drives the connecting rod 5 to rotate through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 3 and the second bevel gear 4. The connecting rod 5 drives the seed-collecting tube 6 to rotate, so that the seed-collecting tube 6 can perform seed-collecting operation on the cucumber pulp. This avoids a large amount of waste from cucumber seed collection, reduces the pressure of waste disposal, and avoids waste of fruit pulp.

[0030] A stirring rack 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 5. The stirring rack 7 is rotatably set in a groove opened on the inner side wall of the device shell 1. When the connecting rod 5 rotates, it can also drive the stirring rack 7 to rotate. Since water can be injected into the device shell 1 through the water inlet 10, appropriate agents can be selected for injection according to the common local pests and diseases, such as carbendazim, chlorothalonil, etc. At the same time, enzymatic hydrolysants that can remove gelatinous substances can also be added. In this way, the rotation of the stirring rack 7 can drive the water flow to stir, so as to remove the pulp, gelatinous substances and pathogens on the surface of the seeds.

[0031] The outer casing 1 of the device is fitted with a seed-collecting plate 8 from the outside in. The seed-collecting plate 8 has a seed-collecting groove and a water passage groove. A heating rod 9 is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 1. The seeds are collected through the seed-collecting groove on the seed-collecting plate 8, which improves the convenience and stability of the device. The water passage groove on the seed-collecting plate 8 facilitates the flow of water. The water is heated to about 55°C by the heating rod 9. The water is then continuously stirred by the stirring rack 7 to maintain the water temperature for about 15-20 minutes, thereby killing the bacteria on the surface of the seeds. Afterward, the water temperature is allowed to drop naturally to room temperature, and the seeds are soaked for another 4-6 hours to allow them to fully absorb water and swell, which is beneficial for subsequent seedling treatment.

[0032] Specific implementation method two: such as Figure 4-5As shown, a fixed motor 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixed block 11 by bolts. A threaded rod 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the fixed motor 16. Two adjusting blocks 14 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 15. Feed rollers 13 are rotatably connected to one side of each adjusting block 14. The output shaft of the adjusting motor 12 is fixedly connected to the other side of the feed rollers 13. The fixed motor 16 can drive the threaded rod 15 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the adjusting blocks 14, the threaded rod 15 can drive the two adjusting blocks 14 to move relative to or away from each other. This allows the two feed rollers 13 to move closer or further apart, making the device suitable for cucumbers of different sizes and improving its applicability. A groove is opened on one side of the fixed block 11 corresponding to the adjusting motor 12. The adjusting motor 12 is installed in the fixed block 11. The groove makes the movement of the adjusting motor 12 more stable. The adjusting motor 12 can drive the feed rollers 13 to rotate, making the transportation of cucumbers more convenient and stable.
