Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of camellia seed production equipment, and in particular to a camellia seed processing feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Camellia seeds need to be shelled during production. This process makes it easier to separate the seeds from the shell, improving the efficiency of subsequent processing such as oil extraction. Processing the seeds with their hard shells not only increases the difficulty of processing but may also damage the processing equipment.
[0003] Chinese patent announcement number CN222302978U discloses a high-efficiency shelling device that can separate and discharge camellia seeds and their shells. The device includes a screening box, a shell-breaking chamber at the top of the screening box, and a feeding chamber at the top of the shell-breaking chamber. A circulation hole is provided on the outer wall of the screening box. A first screen plate is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the screening box inside the circulation hole, and the first screen plate is inclined. A circulation shell is installed on one side of the screening box, next to the circulation hole. The shell-breaking mechanism breaks the shells of the camellia seeds. Then, with the cooperation of a vibration mechanism, the first screen plate filters the broken camellia seeds. The largest of the broken camellia seeds are screened out and fall into the circulation shell. They are then transported by a conveyor auger driven by a first motor into a drop pipe, and then back into the feeding chamber for thorough shell breaking, reducing manual labor and accelerating the shelling efficiency of camellia seeds.
[0004] However, this device has the following drawbacks: After conveying the camellia seeds to the crushing block position via a semi-circular hole on the outer surface of the conveyor roller, the electric push rod drives the crushing block to contact the camellia seeds within the semi-circular hole. While this can crack the shells, the camellia fruits vary in size, and excessively small fruits entering the semi-circular hole prevent the crushing block from contacting the fruit, resulting in crushing failure. To address these drawbacks, we propose a camellia seed processing feeding device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a feeding device for processing camellia seeds.
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A camellia seed processing feeding device includes:
[0008] The material distribution structure includes a material distribution cylinder, a top cover fixedly installed on the upper end of the material distribution cylinder by bolts, a first discharge groove, a second discharge groove and a third discharge groove respectively opened on the bottom wall of the material distribution cylinder, and a material distribution component disposed inside the material distribution cylinder.
[0009] The material distribution assembly consists of a screen cylinder, a connecting shaft rotatably mounted on the right side wall inside the material distribution cylinder, and two support frames symmetrically fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a motor capable of driving the connecting shaft to rotate is fixedly installed on the right side of the dispensing cylinder.
[0014] Preferably, the left end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the right end of the conveying auger.
[0015] Preferably, the right end of the feed pipe passes through the distribution cylinder and extends into the interior of the first distribution screen cylinder.

[0019] Preferably, the tea oil seed shelling machine has three tea oil seed shelling chambers inside, and the three tea oil seed shelling chambers are located directly below the first discharge chute, the second discharge chute, and the third discharge chute, respectively.
[0020] Preferably, a reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the left side of the dispensing cylinder, and the other end of the reinforcing rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the feed pipe.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] 1. By setting up a material distribution structure and a feeding structure, after the tea oil fruit is placed into the feeding port, the conveying auger can evenly transport the tea oil fruit in the feeding port into the screen cylinder. Then, the rotating screen cylinder can divide the tea oil fruit into three grades and discharge them along the mesh of the first material distribution screen cylinder, the mesh of the second material distribution screen cylinder, and the right end of the second material distribution screen cylinder. They then enter the three tea oil seed shelling chambers in the tea oil seed shelling machine through the first, second, and third discharge troughs for grading and shelling. Compared with the existing technology, this device uses a material distribution structure to divide the tea oil fruit into three grades and allow them to enter the three tea oil seed shelling chambers in the tea oil seed shelling machine for shelling. This can avoid the defect of shelling failure caused by the tea oil fruit being of different sizes. At the same time, the feeding structure can evenly feed the screen cylinder, avoiding the problem of too many tea oil fruits in the screen cylinder causing grading confusion.

When the screen cylinder rotates, the spiral blades inside the screen cylinder will convey the tea oil fruit inside the screen cylinder from left to right, avoiding excessive accumulation of tea oil fruit on the left side of the screen cylinder and affecting grading.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a camellia seed processing feeding device, comprising: a material separating structure, a feeding structure, and a shelling structure.
[0033] The material distribution structure includes a material distribution cylinder 10, a top cover 11 fixedly installed on the upper end of the material distribution cylinder 10 by bolts, a first discharge groove 12, a second discharge groove 13 and a third discharge groove 14 respectively opened on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the material distribution cylinder 10, and a material distribution component disposed inside the material distribution cylinder 10. The interior of the material distribution cylinder 10 can be exposed after the top cover 11 is opened.
[0034] The material distribution assembly consists of a screen cylinder, a connecting shaft 20 rotatably mounted on the right side wall of the material distribution cylinder 10, and two support frames 21 symmetrically fixedly mounted on the surface of the connecting shaft 20. The other end of the support frame 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the screen cylinder. A motor 50 that can drive the connecting shaft 20 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the right side of the material distribution cylinder 10. The drive motor 50 can drive the connecting shaft 20 and the screen cylinder to rotate synchronously.
[0035] The feeding structure is located on the left side of the distributing cylinder 10. It includes a feeding pipe 40 fixedly installed on the left side of the distributing cylinder 10, a conveying auger 41 rotatably installed on the inner wall of the feeding pipe 40, and a feeding port 42 fixedly installed on the surface of the feeding pipe 40. A reinforcing rod 70 is fixedly installed on the left side of the distributing cylinder 10. The other end of the reinforcing rod 70 is fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding pipe 40. The reinforcing rod 70 can improve the strength of the feeding pipe 40.
[0036] The screen cylinder is composed of a first material distribution screen cylinder 30, a second material distribution screen cylinder 31 fixedly installed at the right end of the first material distribution screen cylinder 30, and spiral blades 32 fixedly installed on the inner walls of both the first material distribution screen cylinder 30 and the second material distribution screen cylinder 31. The aperture of the first material distribution screen cylinder 30 is smaller than the aperture of the second material distribution screen cylinder 31.
[0037] The right end of the feed pipe 40 passes through the distribution cylinder 10 and extends into the interior of the first distribution screen cylinder 30. The left end of the connecting shaft 20 is fixedly connected to the right end of the conveying auger 41. When the connecting shaft 20 rotates, it will drive the conveying auger 41 to rotate synchronously. A baffle ring 33 is fixedly installed on the left end of the first distribution screen cylinder 30. The baffle ring 33 can prevent the tea oil fruit from rolling out from the left side of the screen cylinder.
[0038] After the tea oil fruit is placed into the feed inlet 42, the rotating conveyor auger 41 can evenly transport the tea oil fruit in the feed inlet 42 into the screen cylinder. When the screen cylinder rotates, the spiral blades 32 inside the screen cylinder will transport the tea oil fruit in the screen cylinder from left to right, avoiding excessive accumulation of tea oil fruit on the left side of the screen cylinder and affecting grading.

The shelling structures are existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0041] After the three different sizes of tea oil fruits are graded by the sieve cylinder, the three different sizes of tea oil fruits will enter the three tea oil seed shelling chambers 62 in the tea oil seed shelling machine 60 through the first discharge chute 12, the second discharge chute 13 and the third discharge chute 14 respectively for grading and shelling.
[0042] Compared with existing technologies, this device uses a material separation structure to divide tea oil fruits into three grades and allow them to enter the three tea oil seed shelling chambers 62 in the tea oil seed shelling machine 60 for shelling. This avoids the defect of shelling failure caused by tea oil fruits of different sizes. At the same time, the feeding structure can evenly feed the sieve cylinder, avoiding the problem of too many tea oil fruits in the sieve cylinder causing confusion in grading.
[0043] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:
[0044] First, tea oil fruits are placed into the feed inlet 42. After the drive motor 50 drives the conveying auger 41 and the screen cylinder to rotate, the rotating conveying auger 41 can evenly transport the tea oil fruits in the feed inlet 42 into the screen cylinder.
