Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water chestnut processing technology, specifically a water chestnut edge-opening machine. Background Technology
[0002] Euryale ferox is an aquatic plant seed with high nutritional value, widely used in food and medicine. With increasing demand, the market is placing higher demands on the efficiency and quality of Euryale ferox processing. Although some simple small-scale splitting tools exist on the market, most are single-function and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the efficient macadamia nut opening device described in patent number CN215958199U, a frame with a cutter at one end is included. A conveyor belt is horizontally mounted on the frame, and several trays for holding macadamia nuts are evenly distributed along the outer periphery of the conveyor belt. Each tray has a hemispherical wrapping groove fixed to its side opposite to the conveyor belt's transport direction. The top of each wrapping groove has a cutting slit for the vertical entry of a circular saw blade from the cutter. The tray and wrapping groove together hold the macadamia nuts. When the macadamia nuts on the upper section of the conveyor belt are transported to the cutter position, they pass over the circular saw blade, which then cuts an opening at the top of the macadamia nut. The cutting slit allows the circular saw blade to pass. During cutting, the rotational cutting direction of the circular saw blade is opposite to the transport direction of the upper section of the conveyor belt, and the rotational cutting direction of the circular saw blade cuts from front to back along the opening of the wrapping groove towards the cutting slit.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent can cut open macadamia nuts, some problems still exist. After the fruit is cut open, some debris will be generated. This debris will fall down with the conveyor belt and the opened fruit, which will cause the opened fruit and debris to mix, thus affecting the quality of the opened fruit. Therefore, this utility model provides a nut-cutting machine. Utility Model Content

[0008] The screening assembly includes a holding box, the inner wall of which is provided with a screening box, and two sliding rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the screening box. One end of the outer wall of each of the four sliding rods movably passes through the outer wall of the holding box, and springs are sleeved on the outer walls of the four sliding rods.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the four springs is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening box, and the other end of the four springs is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the holding box. A set of screening holes is provided through the bottom of the inner wall of the screening box.

[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] This utility model provides a millet seed edge-opening machine. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0016] (1) After the water chestnut fruit is cut by the conveying and cutting component, the opened water chestnut fruit and some debris will fall into the screening box along with the belt conveyor. At this time, the motor can be turned on, and the motor drives the eccentric block to rotate. The eccentric block will generate centrifugal force during the rotation. Since the screening box is connected to the holding box through the slide rod and the slide rod is fitted with a spring, when the centrifugal force generated by the eccentric block acts on the screening box, the screening box will overcome the elastic force of the spring and move. As the eccentric block continues to rotate, the direction and magnitude of the centrifugal force will change continuously, and the screening box will sway left and right in the direction of the slide rod. Some smaller debris will fall from the screening hole at the bottom of the screening box, thereby avoiding the water chestnut fruit after opening from mixing with the debris, improving the quality of the water chestnut fruit. At the same time, as the screening box continues to sway, it also prevents the water chestnut fruit in the screening box from accumulating and causing the screening hole to be blocked, thereby improving the screening rate of the water chestnut fruit.
[0017] (2) When it is necessary to split the edges of the water chestnuts, the water chestnuts are first poured into the feeding hopper. The position of the baffle plate at the bottom of the feeding hopper is controlled by moving the sliding plate, thereby controlling the size of the opening at the bottom of the feeding hopper and the feeding speed of the water chestnuts. This prevents the water chestnuts from piling up due to excessive feeding speed. The water chestnuts falling from the feeding hopper will fall onto the moving plate below. The limiting frame can limit the water chestnuts and prevent them from falling off the belt conveyor. After the water chestnuts fall onto the surface of the moving plate... Some of the water chestnuts will enter the placement groove. The height of the water chestnuts entering the placement groove will decrease, allowing them to be removed from the limiting frame through the material stop on one side of the limiting frame. The water chestnuts that do not enter the placement groove will be blocked by the material stop due to their height, until they fall into the placement groove on other moving plates and are removed from the limiting frame. When the water chestnuts on the moving plates move to below the arc-shaped cutting blades, the electric push rod drives a set of arc-shaped cutting blades to move downwards, and then the water chestnuts in the placement groove can be split open.

[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] This utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0027] Figures 1-6 The first embodiment is shown: a water chestnut splitting machine, including a conveying and cutting component 1, which is used to convey and split water chestnuts, and a screening component 2 is provided at one end of the conveying and cutting component 1, which is used to screen the split water chestnuts;
[0028] The conveying and cutting assembly 1 includes a belt conveyor 11. A set of movable plates 12 are uniformly fixedly installed on the output belt surface of the belt conveyor 11. The belt conveyor 11 is existing technology and can move the movable plates 12 by the conveyor belt, thereby conveying the water chestnut fruit. A set of placement grooves 13 are opened at the top of each set of movable plates 12. Limiting frames 14 are fixedly installed at the top of both sides of the belt conveyor 11. A baffle 15 is opened through one side of the outer wall of the limiting frame 14. The limiting frame 14 will limit the water chestnut fruit and prevent the water chestnut fruit from falling off the belt conveyor 11. The baffle 15 can block the water chestnut fruit that is taller, while the water chestnut fruit in the placement grooves 13 is shorter and will not be blocked.
[0029] The screening component 2 includes a holding box 21, and a screening box 22 is provided on the inner wall of the holding box 21. Two sliding rods 23 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the screening box 22. One end of the outer wall of each of the four sliding rods 23 movably passes through the outer wall of the holding box 21. Springs 24 are sleeved on the outer walls of the four sliding rods 23. The sliding rods 23 can support the screening box 22 and limit the screening box 22, so that the screening box 22 can move in the direction of the sliding rods 23.
[0030] One end of each of the four springs 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the screening box 22, and the other end of each of the four springs 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the holding box 21. The springs 24 have a certain elasticity, which allows the screening box 22 to be reset after being moved. A set of screening holes are opened through the bottom of the inner wall of the screening box 22, and fruit fragments can fall out of the screening box 22 through the screening holes, thereby completing the screening of the split water chestnut fruit.
[0031] Two vertical plates 25 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the screening box 22. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed between the opposite sides of the two vertical plates 25. An eccentric block 26 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A motor 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the screening box 22. The output shaft of the motor 27 passes through the vertical plate 25 and is fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft. When the motor 27 is turned on, it can drive the eccentric block 26 to rotate. The eccentric block 26 will generate centrifugal force during rotation, which will cause the screening box 22 to shake. A waste tray 28 slides through one side of the outer wall of the holding box 21. The waste tray 28 can collect fruit fragments and other impurities that fall into the screening box 22.
[0032] Figures 1-6 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that a hopper 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting frame 14, a baffle plate 17 is attached to the bottom of the hopper 16, and a movable slide plate 18 slides through the outer wall of the limiting frame 14. One end of the outer wall of the movable slide plate 18 is fixedly connected to the baffle plate 17. By moving the movable slide plate 18, the position of the baffle plate 17 at the bottom opening of the hopper 16 can be changed, thereby controlling the opening size of the hopper 16 and thus controlling the feeding speed of the hopper 16.
[0033] The top of both sides of the belt conveyor 11 are fixedly installed with a frame 19. The top of the frame 19 is fixedly installed with an electric push rod 110. The output end of the electric push rod 110 is fixedly installed with a horizontal plate 111. The bottom end of the horizontal plate 111 is fixedly installed with a set of arc-shaped cutting blades 112. The electric push rod 110 is existing technology and can drive the arc-shaped cutting blades 112 to move downward, so that the arc-shaped cutting blades 112 can open the edges of the water chestnut fruit.
[0034] A controller 113 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the belt conveyor 11. The controller 113 is electrically connected to the belt conveyor 11 and to the electric push rod 110. The controller 113 can precisely control the running speed of the belt conveyor 11. By adjusting the conveying speed, it can adapt to different production rhythms and processing requirements. When the water chestnut fruit on the moving plate 12 moves directly below the arc-shaped cutting blade 112, the belt conveyor 11 can be stopped, so that the electric push rod 110 can drive the arc-shaped cutting blade 112 to move downward to cut the water chestnut fruit. The extension speed and stroke of the electric push rod 110 can be precisely adjusted by the controller 113, so as to ensure that the arc-shaped cutting blade 112 cuts the water chestnut fruit with appropriate force and depth.
[0035] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0036] During operation, when it is necessary to split the edges of the water chestnuts, the belt conveyor 11 is first started. The belt conveyor 11 moves the moving plate 12 on the surface via the conveyor belt, and then the water chestnuts are poured into the hopper 16. The position of the baffle 17 at the bottom of the hopper 16 is moved by the moving slide plate 18, thereby controlling the size of the opening at the bottom of the hopper 16 and controlling the feeding speed of the water chestnuts to prevent them from piling up due to excessive feeding speed. The water chestnuts falling from the hopper 16 will fall onto the moving plate 12 below, and the limiting frame 14 can limit the water chestnuts to prevent them from falling off the belt. As the water chestnuts fall from the conveyor 11 onto the surface of the moving plate 12, some of them will enter the placement trough 13. The height of the water chestnuts in the placement trough 13 will decrease, allowing them to be removed from the limiting frame 14 through the baffle 15 on one side of the limiting frame 14. The water chestnuts that do not enter the placement trough 13, due to their higher height, will be intercepted by the baffle 15 until they fall into the placement trough 13 on other moving plates 12 and are removed from the limiting frame 14. When the water chestnuts on the moving plate 12 move to below the arc-shaped cutting blade 112, the electric push rod 110 drives a set of... The curved cutting blade 112 moves downwards, then opens the edges of the water chestnuts placed in the circular groove 13. As the water chestnuts are opened, some debris is generated. With the movement of the moving plate 12, the opened water chestnuts and debris fall together into the screening box 22 below. At this point, the motor 27 can be turned on, driving the eccentric block 26 to rotate. The eccentric block 26 generates centrifugal force during rotation. Since the screening box 22 is connected to the holding box 21 via a sliding rod 23, and a spring 24 is fitted on the sliding rod 23, when the centrifugal force generated by the eccentric block 26 acts on the screening box 22, the screening box 22... The centrifugal force will overcome the elastic force of the spring 24 and cause displacement. As the eccentric block 26 continues to rotate, the direction and magnitude of the centrifugal force will change continuously, and the screening box 22 will sway left and right in the direction of the slide bar 23. Some smaller debris will fall from the screening holes at the bottom of the screening box 22, thereby avoiding the mixing of the split water chestnut fruit with debris and improving the quality of the water chestnut fruit. At the same time, as the screening box 22 continues to sway, it also prevents the water chestnut fruit from accumulating in the screening box 22 and causing the screening holes to be blocked, thereby improving the screening rate of the water chestnut fruit. Debris and other impurities will fall into the waste tray 28, which facilitates the treatment of waste.
