[0010]

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Euryale ferox processing, in particular to an Euryale ferox thorn peeling machine. Background Art

[0002] The outer shell of the Euryale ferox fruit is hard and needs to be removed to obtain the edible seeds. After shelling, the Euryale ferox seeds need to be washed to remove the surface impurities and residual shell fragments. Through scientific processing, Euryale ferox can better preserve its nutritional and medicinal values and provide healthy and delicious food ingredients and medicinal materials for people.

[0003] In the prior art, the outer shell of Euryale ferox is densely covered with small thorns. These small thorns will affect the clamping and positioning accuracy of the clamping mechanism during the process of shelling and seeding Euryale ferox because they抵触with the small thorns on the surface of Euryale ferox. At the same time, because the contact surface of the small thorns is small, Euryale ferox cannot withstand a large external force when shelling, resulting in the shaking of Euryale ferox when cutting the outer shell of Euryale ferox, affecting the clamping stability of Euryale ferox, and thus making the shelling effect relatively poor and the shelling efficiency also reduced. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] According to the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an Euryale ferox thorn peeling machine to facilitate solving the technical problems mentioned in the above background art.

The head and the end of the outer drum are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity through a first support unit. An inner drum is arranged inside the outer drum. The inner drum is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity through a second support unit. The central axis of the inner drum is located below the central axis of the outer drum, so that the inner drum and the outer drum are eccentrically arranged.

[0008] A driving unit is arranged at the end of the processing cavity and is used to drive the inner drum and the outer drum to rotate in the same axis in opposite directions.

[0009] Further, a plurality of openings for discharging Euryale ferox are provided at the end of the outer drum, and the width of the openings is smaller than the depth of the discharging port.

[0010] Further, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer drum, and the retaining ring is arranged at the end of the outer drum close to the openings.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer cylinder is provided with a ring array of multiple push plates, which are spirally wound around the inner wall of the outer cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the support unit includes a support ring and a sleeve. The support ring is fixedly connected to the end of the outer cylinder, and the inner wall of the processing cavity is fixedly connected to the sleeve at a position corresponding to the support ring.

[0015] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. This type of water chestnut bark removal machine, by setting an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, with the inner and outer cylinders eccentrically set, can make the water chestnuts get stuck between the inner and outer cylinders when they are put into the bark removal roller assembly. Then, when the inner and outer cylinders are coaxially reversed by the operation of the drive unit, the water chestnuts will be subjected to two opposite forces and rotate. When the water chestnuts rotate, the small barbs of the water chestnuts inserted into the mesh of the inner and outer cylinders will come into contact with the mesh wall and be broken off, thereby achieving efficient bark removal of water chestnuts;

[0017] 2. This type of water chestnut peeling machine has multiple push plates inside the outer cylinder, and the push plates are spirally wrapped around the inner wall of the outer cylinder. When the outer cylinder rotates, the push plates will continuously apply a moving thrust to the water chestnut, so that the water chestnut can be peeled and moved forward at the same time, avoiding the accumulation of water chestnut at the feeding port, and effectively improving the peeling efficiency of water chestnut.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Reference Figures 1-6 The present invention discloses a gorgon fruit thorn-removing machine, which includes a housing 1, a processing chamber 4 for thorn removal is provided inside the housing 1, a feeding port 5 communicating with the processing chamber 4 is provided at the top of the housing 1, and a discharge port 6 communicating with the processing chamber 4 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0029] The barb stripping roller assembly 2 is installed inside the processing chamber 4. The barb stripping roller assembly 2 mainly consists of an inner cylinder 21 and an outer cylinder 22. The surfaces of both the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 are provided with mesh for small barbs to be inserted. The first and second ends of the outer cylinder 22 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing chamber 4 through a support unit 1 7. The inner cylinder 21 is installed inside the outer cylinder 22. The inner cylinder 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing chamber 4 through a support unit 2 8. The central axis of the inner cylinder 21 is located below the central axis of the outer cylinder 22, so that the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 are eccentrically set.

[0030] The drive unit 3 is located at the end of the processing cavity 4 and is used to drive the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 to rotate coaxially.

[0031] In this embodiment, observation Figures 1-3 It can be seen that by providing a processing cavity 4 inside the shell 1, a feeding port 5 communicating with the processing cavity 4 at the top of the shell 1, and a discharge port 6 communicating with the processing cavity 4 at the bottom of the shell 1, the water chestnut can be fed into the processing cavity 4 through the feeding port 5 and discharged through the discharge port 6.

[0032] And in Figure 3 and Figure 4 As can be seen, a barb removal roller assembly 2 is rotatably arranged inside the processing cavity 4. The barb removal roller assembly 2 is mainly composed of an inner cylinder 21 and an outer cylinder 22. The surfaces of both the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 are provided with mesh for small barbs to be inserted. The first and second ends of the outer cylinder 22 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 through a support unit 1 7. The inner cylinder 21 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 22. The inner cylinder 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 through a support unit 2 8. At the same time, a drive unit 3 is provided at the end of the processing cavity 4 to drive the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 to rotate coaxially, so that the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 can rotate coaxially.

[0033] At this time, when the water chestnut is fed into the space between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 through the feeding port 5, the water chestnut will move towards the lowest point of the outer cylinder 22 under the action of gravity. Because the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 are eccentrically positioned, the distance between the bottoms of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 is as follows: Figure 6 As the diameter of the inner cylinder gradually decreases, the water chestnut gets stuck between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 during its fall. The surfaces of the inner and outer cylinders 21 and 22 are evenly distributed with mesh openings that allow small barbs to insert. Once stuck, the barbs naturally insert into these mesh openings. Since the inner and outer cylinders 21 and 22 rotate coaxially, the water chestnut experiences opposing forces on both sides, causing it to rotate between the two cylinders. Because the barbs are inserted into the mesh openings, they contact the mesh wall during rotation, breaking off the barbs. As the inner and outer cylinders continue to rotate, the barbs on the water chestnut surface continue to insert into the mesh, then contact the inner wall and break off, effectively improving the removal of barbs from the water chestnut surface.

[0034] Meanwhile, the eccentric setting of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 results in a variety of different spacings between them. This allows the gorgon fruit peeling machine to adapt to gorgon fruits of different diameters during use, effectively improving its practicality.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the outer cylinder 22 has multiple openings 9 at its end for discharging the water chestnuts, and the width of the openings 9 is smaller than the depth of the discharge port 6.

[0036] A retaining ring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22, and the retaining ring 10 is located at the end of the outer cylinder 22 close to the opening 9.

[0037] The outer cylinder 22 is provided with a ring array of multiple push plates 11, which are spirally wound around the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22.

[0038] In this embodiment, observation Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that by opening an opening 9 at the end of the outer cylinder 22, the water chestnut can be discharged when it moves to the opening 9 position, thus realizing the discharge of water chestnut. By making the width of the opening 9 less than the depth of the discharge port 6, the small barbs that are peeled off can fall through the mesh and be discharged in advance. When the water chestnut is discharged through the opening 9, it will not be mixed with the small barbs, thus realizing the separation of water chestnut and small barbs and reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0039] By fixing a retaining ring 10 to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22 and positioning the retaining ring 10 at the end of the outer cylinder 22 close to the opening 9, the accumulation of water chestnuts at the end of the outer cylinder 22 can be prevented from crossing the opening 9, thus effectively improving the discharge effect of water chestnuts.

[0040] Finally, due to the presence of small barbs on the surface of the water chestnut, the barbs and mesh of the water chestnut provide support when the barbs are being removed, causing the water chestnut to remain suspended in the stuck position until the removal of the barbs is completed. This results in a large amount of water chestnut accumulating in the feeding port 5, while the ends of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 cannot effectively remove the barbs from the water chestnut.

[0041] Therefore, observe Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be observed that by arranging multiple push plates 11 in a ring array inside the outer cylinder 22, and the push plates 11 spirally wrapped around the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22, the push plates 11 will continuously apply a moving thrust to the water chestnut when the outer cylinder 22 rotates, so that the water chestnut can move forward while being peeled, avoiding a large accumulation of water chestnut at the feeding port 5, which can effectively improve the peeling efficiency of water chestnut.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the support unit 7 includes a support ring 71 and a ring sleeve 72. The support ring 71 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer cylinder 22. The inner wall of the processing cavity 4 is fixedly connected to the ring sleeve 72 at a position corresponding to the support ring 71. The support ring 71 is rotatably disposed inside the ring sleeve 72.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the outer cylinder 22 is rotatably disposed within the processing cavity 4, in order to avoid friction between the outer cylinder 22 and the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 when the outer cylinder 22 rotates, the support unit is mainly composed of a support ring 71 and a ring sleeve 72. The support ring 71 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer cylinder 22, and the ring sleeve 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 at the position corresponding to the support ring 71. The support ring 71 is rotatably disposed within the ring sleeve 72, which can prevent the outer cylinder 22 from contacting the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 and provide protection for the outer cylinder 22.

[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second support unit 8 includes a main shaft 81 and support rods 82. The main shaft 81 coincides with the axis of the inner cylinder 21. Both ends of the main shaft 81 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 through bearings. Multiple support rods 82 are arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the main shaft 81. The end of the support rod 82 away from the main shaft 81 is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 21.

[0045] In this embodiment, since the inner cylinder 21 is located inside the outer cylinder 22, in order to ensure the normal rotation of the inner cylinder 21 and to avoid contact and friction between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22, the support unit 2 8 includes a main shaft 81 and support rods 82. The main shaft 81 coincides with the axis of the inner cylinder 21. Both ends of the main shaft 81 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the processing cavity 4 through bearings. Multiple support rods 82 are arranged in a ring array on the outer wall of the main shaft 81. The end of the support rod 82 away from the main shaft 81 is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 21, which can improve the compressive strength of the inner cylinder 21 while ensuring the stability of the inner cylinder 21.

[0046] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive unit 3 mainly consists of a motor 31, a gear 32, an internal gear ring 33, and an external gear ring 34. The motor 31 is installed at the end of the housing 1. The external gear ring 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22. The internal gear ring 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 21. The gear 32 meshes between the internal gear ring 33 and the external gear ring 34. The gear 32 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 31.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 need to be coaxially reversed to apply two opposite forces to the water chestnut to break the small thorns of the water chestnut, the drive unit 3 is mainly composed of a motor 31, a gear 32, an internal gear ring 33 and an external gear ring 34. The motor 31 is installed at the end of the housing 1, the external gear ring 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 22, the internal gear ring 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 21, and the gear 32 meshes between the internal gear ring 33 and the external gear ring 34. The gear 32 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 31.

[0048] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: Water chestnuts are fed into the space between the inner cylinder 21 and the outer cylinder 22 through the feeding port 5. The water chestnuts then become stuck between the inner and outer cylinders under gravity. At this point, the drive unit 3 is activated, causing the inner and outer cylinders 21 and 22 to rotate coaxially. This causes the water chestnuts to rotate under two opposing forces. As the water chestnuts rotate, the small barbs of the water chestnuts become stuck in the mesh of the inner and outer cylinders 21 and 22, causing the barbs to break off upon contact with the mesh walls, thus achieving the barb removal process. Finally, the barb-removed water chestnuts are discharged through the opening 9 at the end of the outer cylinder 22 and eventually fall out of the discharge port 6, completing the entire barb removal process.

[0049] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
