Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peanut processing equipment technology, specifically to a peanut kernel chopper. Background Technology

[0002] When processing peanuts into products such as peanut butter and peanut oil, the peanuts need to be chopped first; currently, peanut choppers are generally used to chop the peanuts.

[0003] For example, CN213825041U discloses a shredder for processing peanut kernels. In this shredder, a sorting unit is formed in the shredding chamber by means of a structure including an air inlet pipe, a dust filter, a fan, and an exhaust pipe to sort the kernels and red skin after they have been peeled by the peeling roller. However, this shredder has a relatively poor sorting effect, resulting in a large amount of red skin residue mixed in with the kernels after they have been crushed by the crushing roller. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a peanut kernel chopper to solve the problem that the sorting effect of the kernel and skin is relatively poor in the existing technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a peanut kernel chopper, comprising a housing and a peeling mechanism, a sorting mechanism, and a crushing mechanism arranged from top to bottom within the housing. The sorting mechanism comprises at least two arranged vertically at intervals within the housing, and a feeding assembly is provided between each pair of adjacent sorting mechanisms. The peeling mechanism is connected to each feeding assembly via a reciprocating adjustment assembly, and the reciprocating adjustment assembly is used to drive the feeding assembly to reciprocate and slide vertically by the motion force of the peeling mechanism.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0007] This shredder includes at least two sorting mechanisms, giving it at least two stages of sorting capability, thus improving the sorting ability of fruit and skin. A cloth-spreading assembly is installed between each pair of adjacent sorting mechanisms to evenly spread the fruit and skin. Each cloth-spreading assembly utilizes the power generated by the peeling mechanism during operation, driven by a reciprocating adjustment component to slide back and forth vertically. This increased movement of the cloth-spreading assembly during the spreading process facilitates the separation of fruit and skin, making it easier for the sorting mechanisms to separate the fruit and skin, further enhancing the sorting capability. Attached Figure Description

[0009] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of part A in the middle.

[0010] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: housing 1, peeling mechanism 2, sorting mechanism 3, air inlet 31, air outlet 32, main air inlet pipe 33, fan 34, main air outlet pipe 35, pressure relief port 36, crushing mechanism 4, feeding assembly 5, collecting hopper 51, feeding cover 52, support rod 53, reciprocating adjustment assembly 6, adjusting ring 61, connecting rod 62, transmission disc 63, eccentric protrusion 64, guide block 65. Detailed Implementation

[0011] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0012] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a peanut kernel chopper, including a housing 1 and a peeling mechanism 2, a sorting mechanism 3 and a crushing mechanism 4 arranged from top to bottom inside the housing 1. The sorting mechanism 3 has at least two arranged at intervals in the vertical direction inside the housing 1, and a cloth assembly 5 is provided between each pair of adjacent sorting mechanisms 3. The peeling mechanism 2 is connected to each cloth assembly 5 through a reciprocating adjustment component 6, and the reciprocating adjustment component 6 is used to drive the cloth assembly 5 to reciprocate and slide in the vertical direction by the motion force of the peeling mechanism 2.

[0013] This shredder includes at least two sorting mechanisms 3, giving it at least two levels of sorting capability, thus improving the sorting ability of fruits and red skin. A cloth-spreading assembly 5 is installed between each pair of adjacent sorting mechanisms 3 to evenly spread the fruits and red skin. The cloth-spreading assembly 5 utilizes the power generated by the peeling mechanism 2 during operation, driven by a reciprocating adjustment assembly 6 to slide back and forth vertically. This increased movement of the cloth-spreading assembly 5 during the spreading process facilitates the separation of fruits and red skin, making it easier for the sorting mechanisms 3 to separate the fruits and red skin, further enhancing the sorting capability.

[0014] In this embodiment, both the peeling mechanism 2 and the crushing mechanism 4 are existing structures, but each of the peeling mechanism 2 and the crushing mechanism 4 is equipped with a drive motor, which is beneficial for controlling the peeling mechanism 2 and the crushing mechanism 4 to operate synchronously.

[0015] To better understand this solution, the reciprocating adjustment component 6 will be optimized first; for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, a peanut kernel chopper is provided, wherein the reciprocating adjustment component 6 includes two reciprocating adjustment structures connected to the peeling mechanism 2, and the fabric assembly 5 is connected between the two reciprocating adjustment structures. Each reciprocating adjustment structure includes a transmission part, an adjustment ring 61, and a connecting rod 62. The transmission part is connected to the peeling mechanism 2, the adjustment ring 61 is connected to the transmission part and is driven by the transmission part to move reciprocally up and down, and the connecting rod 62 is connected between the adjustment ring 61 and each fabric assembly 5. The connecting rod 62 is specifically rotatably connected to the adjustment ring 61.

[0016] When the peeling mechanism 2 is in operation, it drives the transmission parts in the two reciprocating adjustment structures to run synchronously. The transmission parts drive the respective cooperating adjustment rings 61 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby driving each cloth assembly 5 to move up and down reciprocally through the connecting rod 62, thereby improving the cloth assembly 5's ability to clothe and separate the fruit and red skin.

[0017] The transmission part includes a transmission disk 63, which is connected to the peeling mechanism 2. An eccentric protrusion 64 is formed on the edge of the transmission disk 63. An adjusting ring 61 is movably sleeved on the outside of the transmission disk 63 and slides with the eccentric protrusion 64.

[0018] During operation, the peeling mechanism 2 drives the transmission disk 63 to rotate, and the eccentric protrusion 64 rotates synchronously with the transmission disk 63. The eccentric protrusion 64 cooperates with the adjusting ring 61 to make the adjusting ring 61 move back and forth up and down. In this embodiment, the eccentric protrusion 64 is a smooth arc-shaped block, which improves the sliding fit between it and the adjusting ring 61.

[0019] The peeling mechanism 2 specifically includes two cooperating peeling rollers. A transmission disk 63 is coaxially connected to one of the peeling rollers. The transmission disk 63 is rotatably disposed in an installation cavity opened in the side wall of the housing 1. The connecting rod 62 freely passes through the installation cavity and its movement is unrestricted. Each connecting rod 62 is connected to a guide structure with respect to the corresponding fabric assembly 5. The guide structure includes a guide groove disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A guide block 65 connected to the corresponding fabric assembly 5 is slidably disposed in the guide groove. The guide block 65 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 62.

[0020] When the peeling mechanism 2 is in operation, the peeling roller rotates to drive the transmission disk 63 to rotate. The eccentric protrusion 64 rotates synchronously with the transmission disk 63. The eccentric protrusion 64 cooperates with the adjusting ring 61 to make the adjusting ring 61 move back and forth up and down. The adjusting ring 61 causes the guide block 65 to slide back and forth in the guide groove through the connecting rod 62, which in turn drives the fabric assembly 5 to move back and forth up and down, improving the fabric assembly 5's ability to spread and separate the fruit and red skin.

[0021] Next, the fabric component 5 was optimized, such as... Figure 1As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the peanut kernel chopper, wherein each of the feeding components 5 includes a collecting hopper 51, the collecting hopper 51 is fixedly connected to the housing 1 and connected to the reciprocating adjustment component 6, a feeding cover 52 is provided in the guiding channel inside the collecting hopper 51, and a feeding channel is formed between the feeding cover 52 and the collecting hopper 51 located outside the feeding cover 52.

[0022] In this embodiment, the fabric cover 52 is connected to the inner wall of the guide channel by multiple support rods 53. The multiple support rods 53 are arranged circumferentially on the outside of the fabric cover 52 to stably support the fabric cover 52, and can also collide with the fruits that fall into the guide channel, which is conducive to the separation of the fruits from the red skin; the collecting hopper 51 is specifically connected to the guide block 65.

[0023] Specifically, the falling fruit and red skin enter the guide channel and collide with the cloth cover 52, then enter the cloth channel and pass through to be evenly distributed, which is more conducive to being sorted by the sorting mechanism 3.

[0024] Each of the material guiding channels includes columnar channel sections and conical channel sections distributed and connected from top to bottom, and the fabric cover 52 is umbrella-shaped with its bottom end projected onto the inner wall of the conical channel section.

[0025] The columnar channel section has sufficient space, on the one hand to receive the fruit falling from above and to install the cloth cover 52, and on the other hand to ensure that the cloth channel has enough space for cloth application. The shape and position design of the cloth cover 52 is conducive to the fruit falling onto the cloth cover 52 and sliding down quickly, entering the cloth channel and colliding with the inner wall of the cone-shaped channel section to tumble, increasing the degree of tumbling of the fruit and making it more conducive to the separation of the fruit from the red skin.

[0026] Finally, there is sorting mechanism 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the peanut kernel chopper further includes an air inlet main pipe 33 and an air outlet main pipe 35. Each of the multiple sorting mechanisms 3 includes an air inlet 31 and an air outlet 32 ​​arranged facing each other on the side wall of the housing 1. The air inlet main pipe 33 has one main air inlet and multiple branch air outlets. A fan 34 is installed inside the main air inlet, and the multiple branch air outlets are connected one-to-one with the air inlets 31 of the multiple sorting mechanisms 3. The air outlet main pipe 35 has one main air outlet and multiple branch air inlets, and the multiple branch air inlets are connected one-to-one with the air outlets 32 of the multiple sorting mechanisms 3. A collection bag is connected to the main air outlet.

[0027] During operation: the fan 34 starts, drawing air into the main air inlet duct 33, and the air is evenly distributed to each air inlet 31. The air sorts out the red skin mixed in with the fallen fruit, blowing the red skin into the corresponding air outlet 32 ​​and then into the main air outlet duct 35, and finally into the collection bag for collection; wherein, the collection bag is a mesh bag to facilitate air discharge; the collection bag is not shown in the attached drawing.

[0028] In this embodiment, there are two sorting mechanisms 3, so the number of fabric components 5 is one. Both the main air inlet duct 33 and the main air outlet duct 35 are T-shaped pipe structures, with a relatively simple design. The two air outlets in the main air inlet duct 33 are located on its left side, and the main air inlet is located in the middle of its right side; the two air inlet outlets in the main air inlet duct 33 are located on its right side, and the main air outlet is located at its bottom.

[0029] Furthermore, a pressure relief port 36 is provided on the bottom side wall of the main air outlet 35, and a filter screen is installed inside the pressure relief port 36. The pressure relief port 36 can accelerate the discharge of air from the main air outlet 35, reduce the amount of air entering the collection bag, thereby reducing the degree of turbulence of the red clothes entering the collection bag; the filter screen prevents the red clothes from being discharged from the pressure relief port 36.

[0030] This shredder operates as follows:

[0031] Add peanuts from the feed hopper at the top of box 1;

[0032] Peanuts fall onto peeling mechanism 2 for peeling to form the fruit and red skin;

[0033] The fruit and red skin fall downwards and are sorted by the first-stage sorting mechanism 3;

[0034] After one sorting cycle, the fruit falls into the collection hopper 51 and collides with the cloth cover 52 and the inner wall of the cone-shaped channel section. It is then discharged from the cone-shaped channel section for cloth distribution.

[0035] The fruit continues to fall downwards and is sorted by the second-stage sorting mechanism 3; the red skins after the first and second stages of sorting are then collected in a collection bag through the main air duct 35.

[0036] The sorted fruits continue to fall downwards into the crushing mechanism 4 for crushing to form peanut crumbs;

[0037] The crushed peanuts are finally discharged from the discharge pipe at the bottom of box 1.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
