Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coconut water production process, and in particular to an automatic coconut water collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Coconut water, also known as coconut juice, is the liquid endosperm inside the coconut shell. It has a sweet, clear taste and is widely enjoyed as a refreshing and thirst-quenching beverage. Coconut water can be drunk directly or used to make various drinks and desserts. For example, it can be mixed with fruit and ice to make fruit juice; or added to pastries, puddings, and other desserts to enhance their flavor and nutritional value.

[0003] Coconuts have a hard outer shell, and separating the coconut water from the coconut meat often requires using knives to chop it open, which is time-consuming and laborious, and not conducive to mass production. Existing technology includes automatic coconut crushing devices, but after crushing the coconut shell, the coconut water still needs to be collected.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent document CN113768163A discloses a coconut water collection device. This device includes a coconut-opening mechanism, a rod-type transmission chain, and a collection tray. The coconut-opening mechanism includes a first baffle, a second baffle, and a cutting mechanism. The first and second baffles are spaced apart, forming a coconut passage between them. The rod-type transmission chain drives the coconut to move along the coconut passage. The cutting mechanism is located on the side of the second baffle facing away from the first baffle. The second baffle has clearance holes to allow the cutting blades of the cutting mechanism to move towards or away from the first baffle. When a coconut is transported between the first and second baffles, the cutting blades on the cutting mechanism can puncture the coconut located between the first and second baffles, allowing the coconut water to fall into the collection tray. The punctured coconut is then conveyed to the next station by the rod-type transmission chain. This automated coconut water collection method can greatly improve efficiency.

[0005] However, the aforementioned coconut water collection equipment still suffers from the technical problem of inconvenient coconut water turnover. Specifically, in the existing technical solutions, the coconut shells can be automatically punctured, while the coconut water falls into the collection tray. The punctured coconuts are then conveyed to the next workstation by a rod-type transmission chain. Furthermore, in the actual coconut water production process, various additives need to be added to the fresh coconut water to improve its taste and extend its shelf life; that is, after collection, the coconut water needs to be transferred to the next workstation for further processing. However, the existing collection trays have limited storage capacity, requiring operators to frequently rotate the coconut water within the trays to ensure the normal operation of the coconut water production process. This turnover method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and detrimental to automated operations. Utility Model Content
