Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of nut processing equipment, and in particular to a pine nut peeling and transfer vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Pine nuts are rich in nutrients, containing 15-17 grams of protein and abundant in essential trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. They are a popular nut snack among consumers. From raw pine nuts to the finished product in the consumer's hands, roasted pine nuts undergo multiple processing steps, including selecting pine nuts, grading, shelling, frying to open the shell, cooling, and packaging. Shelling the pine nuts is the process of removing their outer skin.
[0003] The existing pine nut peeling process is as follows: After grading and screening, pine nuts are boiled in a 3-10% NaOH aqueous solution for a period of time, then placed in a pine nut peeling machine for mechanical friction to remove the black outer skin. The pine nuts and peels poured out of the machine are collected in a container. The container containing the pine nuts and peels is manually moved to a soaking tank for pH adjustment. The pine nuts and peels are then manually poured into the soaking tank, where the buoyancy of the water causes the peels to float to the surface and be filtered out. Finally, the pine nuts are removed from the soaking tank and rinsed with water until neutral, thus completing the pine nut peeling process. In the current pine nut peeling process, the container containing the pine nuts and peels is manually moved, which requires a large number of workers and is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and physically demanding, resulting in low efficiency and requiring further improvement.

[0026] The technical solution of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] Example: Refer to Figure 1 A pine nut hulling transfer cart includes a support frame 10, casters 100, and a transfer frame 1 inclinedly mounted on the support frame 10. Four casters 100 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame 10, located at the four corners of the lower surface. A pine nut hulling residue collection trough 7 is fixedly connected to the support frame 10, located below the transfer frame 1, to collect residual pine nut hulling residue, preventing it from falling to the ground and contaminating the production workshop's hygiene. A counterweight 8 is fixedly connected to the support frame 10 to prevent the pine nut hulling transfer cart from tipping over and to improve its transfer maneuverability.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A first rotating rod 11 is rotatably and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the transfer frame 1. Two driven gears 111 are fixedly connected to the first rotating rod 11, located at both ends of the first rotating rod 11. A second rotating rod 12 is rotatably and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the transfer frame 1. Two driving gears 121 are fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 12, located at both ends of the second rotating rod 12. The first rotating rod 11 is located at the bottom of the lower surface of the transfer frame 1, and the second rotating rod 12 is located at the top of the lower surface of the transfer frame 1, meaning the height of the second rotating rod 12 relative to the ground is greater than the height of the first rotating rod 11 relative to the ground.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A drive motor 2 is fixedly connected to the transfer frame 1, and the drive shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to the second rotating rod 12 via a coupling. A transmission track 3 is provided between the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 121. The transmission track 3 meshes with the driven gear 111 and also meshes with the driving gear 121. That is, the drive motor 2 drives the second rotating rod 121 to rotate around its own axis, thereby causing the transmission track 3 to reciprocate along the length of the transfer frame 1.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The transfer frame 1 is slidably connected to the transfer hopper 4, which is detachably and fixedly connected to the transfer track 3. That is, the drive motor 2 drives the second rotating rod 121 to rotate around its own axis, which drives the transfer hopper 4 to reciprocate along the length of the transfer frame 1. This achieves the purpose of reducing the intensity of manual labor and manpower requirements, improving the efficiency of nut production, and reducing the cost of nut production.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper surface of the transfer frame 1 is machined with a slide rail 13 along its own length, and the lower surface of the transfer hopper 4 is fixedly connected with a pulley 41. The pulley 41 of the transfer hopper 4 is slidably connected to the slide rail 13 on the transfer frame 1, that is, the pulley 41 of the transfer hopper 4 can reciprocate along the slide rail 13 of the transfer frame 1, which can ensure the stability and safety of the reciprocating motion of the transfer hopper 4 along the length of the transfer frame 1.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2To improve the safety and stability of the transfer hopper 4 in transporting pine nuts for grinding, a mounting base plate assembly 30 is bolted to the conveyor track 3. The mounting base plate assembly 30 includes a mounting base plate A31, a mounting base plate B32, and several shock-absorbing springs 33 fixedly connected between the mounting base plates A31 and B32. The mounting base plate A31 is detachably and fixedly connected to the conveyor track 3 by bolts. The mounting base plate B32 is detachably and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the transfer hopper 4 by bolts. The shock-absorbing springs 33 effectively buffer the impact pressure on the transfer hopper 4 caused by the pine nut grinding machine's discharge, improving the safety and stability of the transfer hopper 4 in transporting pine nuts for grinding, extending the service life of the pine nut transfer vehicle, and reducing the maintenance cycle.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A tilting hopper 5 is hinged inside the transfer hopper 4. A buffer rubber strip 40 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the transfer hopper 4, with its bottom surface fixed to the bottom surface of the transfer hopper 4 and its top surface abutting against the bottom outer surface of the tilting hopper 5. An electric cylinder 6 for driving the tilting hopper 5 to tilt and discharge material is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate assembly 30. The electric cylinder 6 is preferably a multi-section telescopic electric cylinder. Specifically, the electric cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base plate A31 and is inclined. The push rod of the electric cylinder 6 passes through the lower surface of the transfer hopper 4 and is hinged to the tilting hopper 5. Specifically, a semi-circular ring A is welded to the lower surface of the tilting hopper 5, and a semi-circular ring B is fixedly connected to the top of the push rod of the electric cylinder 6. The semi-circular rings A and B are connected by a hinge ring, which enables the push rod of the electric cylinder 6 to be hinged to the tilting hopper 5.
[0034] When the pine nut grinding machine discharges material, the tilting hopper 5 is filled with grinding pine nuts. The drive motor 2 drives the second rotating rod 121 to rotate around its own axis, causing the tilting hopper 5 in the transfer hopper 4 to move upward along the length of the transfer frame 1 to the top of the transfer frame 1. The drive motor 2 then stops working. Subsequently, the electric cylinder 6 drives the tilting hopper 5 to tilt and discharge the material. Then, the push rod of the electric cylinder 6 resets, causing the tilting hopper 5, which has been emptied of grinding pine nuts, to reset. The drive motor 2 then works, causing the tilting hopper 5 in the transfer hopper 4 to move downward along the length of the transfer frame 1 to the bottom of the transfer frame 1, completing the reset of the tilting hopper 5. In summary, this application can transfer the ground pine nuts to the pH adjustment tank in a time-saving and labor-saving manner, reducing the intensity of manual labor and manpower requirements, improving nut production efficiency, and reducing nut production costs.
[0035] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
