Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of August melon processing technology, specifically to August melon flesh and seed separation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The akebia quinata is an evergreen woody vine belonging to the genus Akebia of the family Lardizabalaceae. The flesh of the akebia quinata is rich in nutrients, milky white, juicy, sweet, smooth, and fragrant. It is delicious and has a unique aroma that is different from other fruits. The seeds of the akebia quinata can be pressed for oil. In addition to being eaten fresh, the fruit can also be used to make wine, jam, and beverages.

[0003] Because the flesh of the August melon is sticky and the seeds are numerous and tightly wrapped in the flesh, the process of separating the flesh and seeds is very cumbersome. It mainly relies on manual peeling, which consumes labor, is inefficient, and has poor practicality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for separating the flesh and seeds of the August melon in order to solve the above problems, as detailed below.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention provides a fruit melon seed and flesh separation device, including a separation tank, a discharge pipe integrally formed at the lower end of the separation tank, a gantry frame fixedly connected to the upper opening of the separation tank, a crossbeam rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the gantry frame, and a centrifuge cage detachably hung below the crossbeam.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the separator is designed as an inverted cone, and the discharge pipe is located at the small diameter end of the bottom.

[0008] Preferably, a motor for driving the crossbeam to rotate is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the portal frame.

[0009] Preferably, the centrifuge cage includes a top ring and a bottom plate, and a number of evenly distributed longitudinal support rods are fixedly connected between the top ring and the bottom plate. A number of annular cutters are fixedly connected to the longitudinal support rods from top to bottom.

[0010] Preferably, the centrifuge cage is semi-elliptical, with the top ring serving as the loading port for the centrifuge cage, and the spacing between any two adjacent longitudinal support rods is 3-8 mm.

[0011] Preferably, both ends of the crossbeam are fixedly connected to U-shaped brackets, and the top ring is detachably installed in the U-shaped brackets. Magnets are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of both U-shaped brackets, and the magnets are magnetically connected to the iron top ring. The width of the U-shaped brackets is adapted to the spacing between two adjacent longitudinal support rods.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting rope is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the crossbeam, and the upper end of the connecting rope is designed to be coaxial with the axis of rotation of the crossbeam. Several counterweight striking blocks are fixedly connected to the connecting rope.

[0013] The beneficial effects are:

[0014] The motor drives the crossbeam and centrifuge cage to rotate at high speed. At this time, the pulp comes into contact with several ring cutters under the action of centrifugal force, and the pulp and seeds are initially separated. At the same time, several counterweights strike the pulp from the inside, further improving the degree of pulp crushing. Through continuous rotation, under the action of centrifugation, the pulp is thrown to the inner wall of the separation tank and falls down with gravity, while the seeds are left inside the centrifuge cage. The whole operation process is quick and convenient, avoiding manual operation and improving practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a fruit melon seed and flesh separation device, including a separation tank 1. The lower end of the separation tank 1 is integrally formed with a discharge pipe 2. The upper opening of the separation tank 1 is fixedly connected with a gantry frame 3. The bottom center of the gantry frame 3 is rotatably connected with a crossbeam 4. A centrifuge cage 5 is detachably hung below the crossbeam 4.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the separator 1 is designed with an inverted cone shape, and the discharge pipe 2 is located at the small diameter end of the bottom, which can prevent the fruit pulp that is thrown out from accumulating at the bottom of the separator 1.

[0025] Furthermore, a motor 6 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the gantry frame 3 to drive the crossbeam 4 to rotate. The motor 6 can drive the crossbeam 4 and the centrifugal cage 5 to rotate at high speed to generate centrifugal force.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the centrifuge cage 5 includes a top ring 501 and a bottom plate 502. Several evenly distributed longitudinal support rods 503 are fixedly connected between the top ring 501 and the bottom plate 502. Several annular cutters 504 are fixedly connected to the longitudinal support rods 503 from top to bottom. The centrifuge cage 5 is semi-elliptical, and the top ring 501 is the inlet of the centrifuge cage 5. The distance between every two adjacent longitudinal support rods 503 is 3-8mm. The annular cutters 504 can perform preliminary cutting of the pulp located in it under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the 3-8mm distance between the longitudinal support rods 503 can effectively prevent the seeds from falling out of the centrifuge cage 5, so as to achieve the collection of seeds under the action of centrifugal force.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 As shown, both ends of the crossbeam 4 are fixedly connected to U-shaped brackets 7, and the top ring 501 is detachably installed in the U-shaped brackets 7. Magnets 8 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the two U-shaped brackets 7, and the magnets 8 are magnetically connected to the iron top ring 501. The width of the U-shaped brackets 7 is adapted to the spacing between the two adjacent longitudinal support rods 503. By fitting the centrifuge cage 5 on the outside of the crossbeam 4, the top ring 501 is located above the crossbeam 4. Then, pressing down makes the two U-shaped brackets 7 respectively lock into the two sides of the top ring 501, thus completing the hanging and fixing of the centrifuge cage 5. At the same time, the magnets 8 can prevent the centrifuge cage 5 from accidentally falling off through magnetic force. The width of the U-shaped brackets 7 can prevent swaying when located between the two longitudinal support rods 503.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 As shown, a connecting rope 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the crossbeam 4, and the upper end of the connecting rope 9 is designed to be coaxial with the axis of rotation of the crossbeam 4. Several counterweight striking blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the connecting rope 9. The connecting rope 9 can be made of metal to avoid scratching and wear when it comes into contact with the annular cutter 504. The coaxial design of the connecting rope 9 and the axis of rotation of the crossbeam 4 allows the several counterweight striking blocks 10 to swing significantly below the crossbeam 4 when it rotates.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rope 9 is located on one side of the center of several counterweight striking blocks 10, that is, the several counterweight striking blocks 10 are offset in sequence. This is the second distribution state of the counterweight striking blocks 10. By setting it in this way, the swing amplitude and inertia of the counterweight striking blocks 10 can be further improved.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model:

[0031] First, the pulp of the August melon is placed into the centrifuge cage 5. Then, the centrifuge cage 5 is placed inside the separation tank 1. The top ring 501 of the centrifuge cage 5 is hung in the two U-shaped brackets 7 at both ends of the crossbeam 4. At this time, several counterweight striking blocks 10 connected by the connecting rope 9 are located inside the centrifuge cage 5. The crossbeam 4 and the centrifuge cage 5 are driven to rotate at high speed by the motor 6. At this time, the pulp comes into contact with several annular cutters 504 under the action of centrifugal force, and the pulp and seeds are initially separated. At the same time, several counterweight striking blocks 10 strike the pulp from the inside, further improving the degree of pulp crushing. Through continuous rotation, under the action of centrifugation, the pulp is thrown to the inner wall of the separation tank 1 and falls down with gravity, while the seeds are left inside the centrifuge cage 5, completing the separation.

[0032] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
