Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of macadamia nut processing technology, and specifically relates to a cleaning device for macadamia nut processing. Background Technology
[0002] Macadamia nuts have the highest economic value and are known as the "King of Nuts." They have high nutritional and medicinal value and are a type of edible nut with high oil content, rich nutrition, and unique flavor. The kernel's nutritional components are mainly fat, with a content of over 75%, most of which are unsaturated fatty acids. It also contains relatively rich sugars, starches, proteins, amino acids, and minerals such as Ca, Zn, Mg, Fe, and Mn. However, a cleaning device is required during the processing of macadamia nuts.
[0003] For example, patent CN220987557U discloses a cleaning device for nut processing, including a cleaning tank, a mesh cage inside the cleaning tank, and a U-shaped plate above the cleaning tank. A rotating tube is installed through the inner side of the U-shaped plate via a bearing and is fixedly connected to the mesh cage. A stirring rod is installed inside the mesh cage. A driving assembly is installed on the top of the U-shaped plate to drive the stirring rod to rotate. A dehydration assembly is also installed on the inner side of the U-shaped plate.
[0004] During use, the aforementioned cleaning device lifts the net cage away from the clean water pool using relevant lifting components, and then rotates and dehydrates the net cage. However, since there are no obstructions around the dehydration area, the water extracted will affect the surrounding area and people, and waste water resources. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for macadamia nut processing. This device aims to solve the problem that in existing technologies, the net cage is lifted out of the clean water pool using relevant lifting components and then rotated to dehydrate the net cage. However, since there are no obstructions around the dehydration area, the water extracted will affect the surrounding area and people, and will also waste water resources.
[0007] (2) Technical solution
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cleaning device for macadamia nut processing, including a main body. An inner trough is formed in the middle of one side of the main body, and a support frame is fixed above the other side of the main body. A lifting mechanism is installed inside and above the support frame. The lifting mechanism includes a first lead screw sleeve, and a connecting frame is fixed inside the first lead screw sleeve. A cleaning and dewatering mechanism is installed both inside and outside the connecting frame. The cleaning and dewatering mechanism includes a mesh box, with a feeding gate installed on one side of the top of the mesh box and a discharge gate installed below the mesh box. A cleaning tank is fixed inside the inner trough. A splash-proof mechanism is installed inside the inner trough and the cleaning tank. The splash-proof mechanism includes a lifting assembly installed inside the inner trough. The lifting assembly includes two guide frames, and a splash-proof cylinder is fixed inside the top of the two guide frames. An impurity collection assembly is installed at the bottom of the splash-proof cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a rotating rod, which is installed at the bottom of the inner cavity. A fourth motor is installed at one end of the rotating rod, and third bevel gears are fixed around both sides of the rotating rod. A fourth bevel gear meshes with one side of the two third bevel gears, and a second transmission screw is fixed in the middle of the two fourth bevel gears. A second screw sleeve is screwed around one side of the two second transmission screws, and a guide block is fixed on the outer side of the second screw sleeve. Guide grooves are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the inner cavity, and a guide frame is fixed on the inner side of the two second screw sleeves.
[0010] Furthermore, the guide block fixed on the outer side of the second lead screw sleeve and the guide groove opened on the inner wall of the inner groove are connected by a movable guide.
[0011] Furthermore, the impurity collection assembly includes an outer filter frame, which is fixed below the splash guard. The outer filter frame has a sliding groove inside, and an inner collection filter frame is slidably mounted inside the sliding groove. A hand-held block is fixed to the front end of the inner collection filter frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a first motor, which is mounted above the support frame. The output end of the first motor is connected to a first transmission screw, and a first screw sleeve is screwed around one side of the first transmission screw. A guide sleeve is fixed on the outside of the first screw sleeve, and a guide rod is fixed on one side of the support frame to guide the movement of the guide sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning and dehydration mechanism includes a dehydration component, which is installed inside and below the connecting frame, while a cleaning component is jointly installed inside the net cage and above one end of the connecting frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the dehydration component includes an internal groove, which is located inside one end of the connecting frame. A second motor is installed on one side of the internal groove, and the output end of the second motor is connected to a first transmission rod. A first bevel gear is fixed at the end of the first transmission rod, and a second bevel gear meshes with one side of the first bevel gear. A rotating tube is fixed in the middle of the second bevel gear, and a mesh box is connected to the end of the rotating tube.
[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a third motor, which is mounted above one end of the connecting frame. The output end of the third motor is connected to a second transmission rod, and the lower section of the second transmission rod is provided with stirring rods.
[0016] (3) Beneficial effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] Before dehydration, the operator needs to start the fourth motor to rotate the rotating rod and the third bevel gears fixed on both sides. At this time, the fourth bevel gears meshing with the gears can rotate the second transmission screws fixed in the middle of their respective parts. In this state, the corresponding second screw sleeves acting with the screws can lift up with the guide frames fixed on their inner sides, in conjunction with the guide blocks and guide grooves. Since the top inner sides of the two guide frames are fixed with splash guards, the splash guards are lifted up synchronously, thus achieving a splash-proof and water-saving effect during the subsequent dehydration of nuts in the mesh box. Furthermore, since the filter holes of the outer filter frame and the inner collection filter frame below the splash guard are smaller than the mesh box holes, impurities after washing the nuts will be collected inside the inner collection filter frame, preventing impurities from settling in the water and causing a significant impact on water quality. The operator can then slide them out for processing, making it portable and practical.
[0019] The operator can first put the macadamia nuts to be cleaned into the mesh box through the feeding gate, and then start the first motor to make the first transmission screw rotate. At this time, the first screw sleeve that interacts with the screw can carry the connecting frame and the cleaning and dewatering mechanism and its components. The mesh box, with the guidance of the guide sleeve and guide rod, descends into the cleaning pool.
[0020] This invention allows personnel to start a third motor, which in turn drives a second transmission rod to rotate a stirring rod located inside the mesh box. This stirs and cleans the nuts and water inside the mesh box. After cleaning, a lifting mechanism is used to raise the mesh box. Then, personnel can start a second motor to rotate a first transmission rod and a first bevel gear at its end. The second bevel gear meshing with this gear rotates a rotating tube and the mesh box at its end, thereby achieving the dehydration of the nuts inside the mesh box. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.
[0028] This specific embodiment is a cleaning device for macadamia nut processing, and its structural schematic diagram is shown below. Figures 1 to 4As shown, the device includes a main body 1. An inner groove 2 is formed in the middle of one side of the main body 1, and a support frame 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the other side of the main body 1. A lifting mechanism 4 is installed inside and above the support frame 3. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a first lead screw sleeve 43, and a connecting frame 5 is fixedly mounted inside the first lead screw sleeve 43. A washing and dewatering mechanism 6 is installed both inside and outside the connecting frame 5. The washing and dewatering mechanism 6 includes a mesh box 617. A feed gate 7 is installed on one side of the upper part of the mesh box 617, and a discharge gate 8 is installed below the mesh box 617. A washing tank 10 is fixedly mounted inside the inner groove 2. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a first motor 41, and the first motor 41 is mounted on the upper part of the support frame 3. The output end of the first motor 41 is connected to the first transmission screw 42, and a first screw sleeve 43 is screwed around one side of the first transmission screw 42. A guide sleeve 44 is fixed on the outside of the first screw sleeve 43. A guide rod 45 for guiding the movement of the guide sleeve 44 is fixed on one side of the support frame 3. The workers can put the macadamia nuts to be cleaned into the mesh box 617 through the feeding gate 7 in advance. Then, the first motor 41 is started to make the first transmission screw 42 rotate. At this time, the first screw sleeve 43, which interacts with the screw, can carry the connecting frame 5 and the cleaning and dewatering mechanism 6 and its components. The mesh box 617, with the guidance of the guide sleeve 44 and the guide rod 45, descends into the cleaning pool 10.
[0029] The washing and dehydration mechanism 6 includes a dehydration component 61, which is installed inside and below the connecting frame 5. The dehydration component 61 includes an internal groove 611, which is located inside one end of the connecting frame 5. A second motor 612 is installed on one side of the internal groove 611, and the output end of the second motor 612 is connected to a first transmission rod 613. A first bevel gear 614 is fixed to the end of the first transmission rod 613, and a second bevel gear 615 meshes with one side of the first bevel gear 614. A rotating tube 616 is fixed to the middle of the second bevel gear 615, and a mesh box 617 is connected to the end of the rotating tube 616. A washing component 62 is installed inside the mesh box 617 and above one end of the connecting frame 5. The washing component 62 includes a third motor 621. The third motor 621 is installed above one end of the connecting frame 5. The output end of the third motor 621 is connected to the second transmission rod 622, and the lower part of the second transmission rod 622 is provided with stirring rods 623. When the operator starts the third motor 621, the second transmission rod 622 drives the stirring rods 623 in the mesh box 617 to rotate, thereby stirring and cleaning the nuts and water in the mesh box 617. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the mesh box 617. Then, the operator can start the second motor 612 to rotate the first transmission rod 613 and the first bevel gear 614 at its end. The second bevel gear 615, which meshes with the first transmission rod, can rotate the rotating tube 616 and the mesh box 617 at its end, thereby achieving the dehydration of the nuts in the mesh box 617.
[0030] Furthermore, a splash-proof mechanism 9 is jointly installed inside the inner tank 2 and the cleaning pool 10. The splash-proof mechanism 9 includes a lifting assembly 91, which is installed inside the inner tank 2. The lifting assembly 91 includes a rotating rod 911, which is installed at the bottom of the inner tank 2. A fourth motor 912 is installed at one end of the rotating rod 911, and third bevel gears 913 are fixedly provided on both sides of the rotating rod 911. A fourth bevel gear 914 meshes with one side of the two third bevel gears 913, and a second transmission screw 915 is fixedly provided in the middle of the two fourth bevel gears 914. A second lead screw sleeve 916 is screwed onto one side of the transmission lead screw 915, and a guide block 917 is fixed to the outer side of the second lead screw sleeve 916. Guide grooves 918 are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the inner loading groove 2. Guide brackets 919 are fixed to the inner sides of the two second lead screw sleeves 916. The guide block 917 fixed to the outer side of the second lead screw sleeve 916 and the guide grooves 918 opened on the inner wall of the inner loading groove 2 are movably guided. A splash guard 92 is fixed to the inner side of the top of the two guide brackets 919. An impurity collection assembly 93 is installed at the bottom end of the splash guard 92. The impurity collection assembly 93 includes an outer filter frame 931. 1. Fixed below the splash guard 92, the outer filter frame 931 has a sliding groove 932 inside, and an inner collection filter frame 933 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 932. A hand-held block 934 is fixed at the front end of the inner collection filter frame 933. Before dehydration, the operator needs to start the fourth motor 912 to rotate the rotating rod 911 and the third bevel gear 913 fixed on both sides. At this time, the fourth bevel gear 914 meshing with the gear can drive the second transmission screw 915 fixed in the middle to rotate. In this state, the corresponding second screw sleeve 916 acting with the screw can drive the second transmission screw 915 fixed on its inner side to rotate. The guide frame 919, together with the guide block 917 and the guide groove 918, is raised. Since the anti-splash cylinder 92 is fixed on the inner side of the top of the two guide frames 919, it is raised synchronously with the anti-splash cylinder 92. This can play a role in preventing splashing and saving water when the nuts are dehydrated in the net box 617. Furthermore, since the filter hole size of the outer filter frame 931 and the inner collection filter frame 933 set below the anti-splash cylinder 92 is smaller than the hole of the net box 617, the impurities after washing the nuts will be collected inside the inner collection filter frame 933, avoiding the impurities from settling in the water and causing a significant impact on the water quality. The filter frame can then be slid out for processing, making it portable and practical.
[0031] Working principle: Workers can pre-load the macadamia nuts to be cleaned into the mesh box 617 through the feed gate 7. Then, the first motor 41 is started, causing the first transmission screw 42 to rotate. At this time, the first screw sleeve 43, acting in conjunction with the screw, lowers the mesh box 617, along with the connecting frame 5 and the cleaning and dewatering mechanism 6 and its components, into the cleaning tank 10, guided by the guide sleeve 44 and guide rod 45. Next, the third motor 621 is started, causing the second transmission rod 622 to rotate the stirring rod 623 inside the mesh box 617. This stirs and cleans the nuts in the mesh box 617 with water. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 4 lifts the mesh box 617. Then, the second motor 612 is started, causing the first transmission rod 613 and its end-mounted first bevel gear 614 to rotate. The second bevel gear 615, meshing with this gear, rotates the rotating tube 616 and its end-mounted mesh box 617, thus achieving the dewatering of the nuts in the mesh box 617. Before the above dehydration is performed, the fourth motor 912 needs to be started in advance to rotate the rotating rod 911 and the third bevel gear 913 fixed on both sides. At this time, the fourth bevel gear 914 meshing with the gear can rotate the second transmission screw 915 fixed in the middle of its own part. In this state, the corresponding second screw sleeve 916 acting with the screw can lift up with the guide frame 919 fixed on its inner side, in coordination with the guide block 917 and the guide groove 918. Since the anti-splash cylinder 92 is fixed on the inner side of the top of the two guide frames 919, the anti-splash cylinder 92 is lifted up synchronously, so that it can play a splash-proof and water-saving effect when the nuts in the net box 617 are dehydrated in the later stage. In addition, since the filter hole size of the outer filter frame 931 and the inner collection filter frame 933 set below the anti-splash cylinder 92 is smaller than the hole of the net box 617, the impurities after washing the nuts will be collected inside the inner collection filter frame 933, avoiding the impurities from sinking in the water and causing a large impact on the water quality. The personnel can then slide it out for processing. It is portable and practical.
[0032] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0033] 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.
