Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a storage device for producing watermelon seed kernels. Background Technology

[0002] Watermelon seeds are food ingredients obtained from the seeds extracted from watermelons, after being washed, dried, and shelled. They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals, possessing a unique taste and nutritional value. The storage device used in watermelon seed production is a specially designed piece of equipment used to store and maintain the quality of watermelon seeds.

[0003] In existing storage devices, watermelon seed kernels are typically discharged through a discharge pipe. When the kernels need to be removed for processing or sale, if the discharge pipe is blocked, a lot of time and manpower will be spent on unblocking and handling, thus delaying the production schedule. In addition, dust can enter the storage device through the ventilation openings during use, adhering to the surface of the watermelon seed kernels or mixing into them. Dust and other impurities not only affect the appearance of the watermelon seed kernels, but may also cause chemical reactions such as oxidation and mold, reducing their taste.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new storage device for watermelon seed kernel production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

A guide rail 9 is slidably connected to one side of the guide block 8, which pulls the support plate 3 to rotate. Moving the guide rail 9 pulls the guide block 8 to slide inside the guide rail 9, causing the connecting plate 7 and the mounting frame 2 to rotate, facilitating the subsequent emptying of the watermelon seed kernels from the storage box 4 and subsequent processing. A box 10 is provided on the top of the housing 1, and a semiconductor cooler 11 is installed inside the box 10. 1 is a device that utilizes the thermoelectric effect of semiconductors to generate cooling energy in the prior art, also known as a thermoelectric cooler. The cold end of the semiconductor cooler 11 is located inside the box 10, and the hot end is located outside the box 10. The top of the box 10 is connected to an air pump 12 through a pipe. The air pump 12 can extract the cold air generated inside the box 10. A vent 13 is opened on one side of the box 10, and a dustproof net 14 is installed on the outside of the vent 13. The dustproof net 14 prevents dust from entering the box 10 through the vent 13, thus preventing dust from affecting the storage of watermelon seed kernels. A temperature and humidity sensor 15 is installed on one side of the box 1. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 is a prior art device that can sense and respond to changes in temperature and humidity through a sensing element, and then convert them into electrical signals or other easily processed and recorded forms.

The guide rail 9 pulls guide block 8, causing it to slide within the guide rail, which in turn rotates connecting plate 7 and mounting bracket 2. This facilitates the subsequent emptying of watermelon seed kernels from storage box 4, ensuring efficient processing and avoiding the impact of pipe discharge on subsequent processing. A semiconductor cooler 11 provides cooling, and air pump 12 circulates air from inside box 10. Cold air is extracted and refrigerated inside the box 1 through the exhaust pipe 20 and exhaust hood 21 to prevent the watermelon seeds from spoiling or developing an unpleasant flavor due to high temperatures. Multiple exhaust hoods 21 are provided to achieve the effect of cooling different heights inside the box 1, ensuring the uniformity of the internal temperature. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 is used to monitor the storage temperature of the watermelon seeds. The cooling fan 23 is used to cool the hot end of the semiconductor cooler 11. The inner wall of the connecting bracket 24 is snapped into the outer side of the mounting rod 25 to install the dustproof net 14. The dustproof net 14 prevents dust from entering the box 10 through the ventilation port 13, thus preventing dust from affecting the storage of watermelon seeds.
