Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cashew nut processing equipment, and more specifically to a material frame used in cashew nut processing. Background technology:

[0002] Cashews are a tropical nut, popular for their kidney-shaped appearance and rich nutritional value. Currently, industrial processing of cashews involves multiple steps to remove the toxic outer shell and improve quality. The main steps are as follows: Raw material processing, cleaning and screening: removing impurities and damaged cashews, and soaking to remove surface dust and harmful substances remaining in the shell; High-temperature fumigation and drying, fumigation disinfection: cashews in shells are fumigated in a boiler at over 100℃ to kill microorganisms and decompose corrosive oils in the shell; Automated drying: using an air-source heat pump dryer, setting the temperature to 35-50℃ and controlling the humidity at 3%-5%, causing the shell to crack and initially separating the kernel from the outer shell; The process involves shelling and peeling; removing the seed coat from the surface of the cashew kernels; and subsequent flavoring and roasting, with cashews available in flavors such as charcoal roasting, salt baking, and honey. The washing process primarily involves soaking the cashews in a 20%–30% brine solution. The cashews are typically placed in a basket with drainage holes, which is then hoisted into the brine pool for soaking. After soaking, the basket is lifted out of the pool, and the basket needs to be turned over to empty the cashews into the steaming pot. This emptying process is somewhat cumbersome, so a convenient unloading basket needs to be designed. Utility model content:

Detailed implementation method:

[0022] Example: See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a material frame for cashew nut processing includes a rectangular upper reinforcing frame 1 and a lower reinforcing frame 2. A rectangular bottomless box frame 3 is inserted and fixed inside the upper reinforcing frame 1 and the lower reinforcing frame 2. Vertical reinforcing plates 9 are fixed to the middle of the front and rear side frames of the lower reinforcing frame 2, and the upper ends of the reinforcing plates 9 are fixed to the upper reinforcing frame 1. Two sets of horizontal base plates 4 are inserted inside the box frame 3 at the lower reinforcing frame 2. The two sides of the base plates 4 are bent into arc-shaped connecting edges 41. A first guide shaft 5 and a hinge shaft 6 are respectively inserted and fixed in the connecting edges 41 on both sides of the base plate 4. Several slots 42 are formed on the connecting edge 41 at the hinge shaft 6. A drive seat 7 with a triangular longitudinal section is inserted into the middle of the inner side of the box frame 3. The lower end face of the drive seat 7 abuts against the base plate 4 and covers the slots 42. Several ear seats 71 are formed on the lower end face of the drive seat 7. The hinge shaft 6 is inserted into the ear seats 71. A vertical 72 is formed at the upper end of the drive seat 7.

[0023] The bottom of the left and right sides of the lower reinforcing frame 2 are respectively formed with horizontal first guide grooves 21. The sides of the box frame 3 are respectively formed with first clearance grooves 31 that coincide with the first guide grooves 21. The two ends of the first guide shaft 5 pass through the first clearance grooves 31 of the box frame 3 and are inserted into the first guide grooves 21 of the lower reinforcing frame 2. The middle of the front and rear sides of the box frame 3 is formed with vertical second clearance grooves. The lower part of the reinforcing plate 9 is formed with second guide grooves 91 that coincide with the second clearance grooves. Two longitudinal second guide shafts 8 are inserted and fixed on the drive seat 7. The two ends of the second guide shafts 8 pass through the box frame 3 and are respectively inserted into the first guide grooves 21 of the lower reinforcing frame 2. The second clearance groove of frame 3 is inserted into the second guide groove 91 of reinforcing plate 9; a longitudinal shaft 10 is provided directly above the connecting plate 72, and several steel wire ropes 11 are fixedly connected to the shaft 10. The lower end of the steel wire ropes 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 72. The two ends of the shaft 10 are respectively pivotally connected to the upper reinforcing frame 1. One end of the shaft 10 extends out of the upper reinforcing frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 13, and the other end extends out of the upper reinforcing frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the limiting sleeve 15. A vertical handle 151 is formed on the outer wall of the lower side of the limiting sleeve 15; several lifting lugs 12 are respectively welded and fixed on the upper end surfaces of the upper reinforcing frame 1 and the box frame 3.

[0024] The box frame 3 has several upper drainage holes 32 formed on it, and the bottom plate 4 has several lower drainage holes 43 formed on it. When the soaking material frame enters the soaking tank, it can enter the soaking material frame through the upper drainage holes 32 and the lower drainage holes 43. When the soaking material frame is lifted out of the soaking tank, it can drain water through the upper drainage holes 32 and the lower drainage holes 43.

[0025] The front and rear ends of the drive seat 7 abut against the inner sidewall of the box frame 3. The drive seat 7 and the connecting plate 72 can cover the second clearance groove on the box frame 3. The diameter of the second guide shaft 8 on the drive seat 7 is equal to the width of the second guide groove 91 on the reinforcing plate 9. The second guide shaft 8 is located at the bottom of the second guide groove 91. The consistent size prevents shaking. The fact that the second guide shaft 8 is at the bottom of the second guide groove 91 indicates that the horizontal base plate 4 can no longer be flipped down and can only be flipped up and moved. The two second guide shafts 8 on the drive seat 7 are close to each other, and the distance between them is much smaller than the length of the second guide groove 91.

[0026] The diameter of the first guide shaft 5 is equal to the width of the first guide groove 21 on the lower reinforcing frame 2. Similarly, this can prevent the base plate 4 from shaking.

[0027] The four corners of the box frame 3 are provided with four sets of vertical angle irons 17. The upper end of the angle iron 17 is welded and fixed to the upper reinforcing frame 1, and the lower end of the angle iron 17 is fixed to the lower reinforcing frame 2. The angle irons 17 achieve reinforcement and improve the overall strength of the soaking material frame.

[0028] The lower end face of the lower reinforcing frame 2 is flush with the lower end face of the box frame 3, which improves the support strength of the bottom of the soaking material frame; the upper end face of the box frame 3 is flush with the upper end face of the upper reinforcing frame 1, which facilitates the welding and installation of the lifting lugs 12. There are four sets of lifting lugs 12, which are respectively close to the four corners of the box frame 3.

[0029] The drive seat 7 is located in the middle of the two sets of base plates 4. The front and rear sides of the base plates 4 abut against the inner sidewall of the box frame 3 respectively. The connecting edge 41 is located on the lower side of the base plate 4 and on the upper side of the lower end face of the lower reinforcing frame 2, so there will be no interference with the ground.

[0030] The upper end of the limiting plate 13 protrudes from the upper end face of the upper reinforcing frame 1. A longitudinal positioning bolt 14 is screwed onto the upper end of the limiting plate 13, and the positioning bolt 14 abuts against the upper end face of the upper reinforcing frame 1. The positioning bolt 14 can restrict the rotation of the limiting plate 13, thereby restricting the rotation around the axis 10. The handle 151 on the limiting sleeve 15 is in the shape of a channel steel, and a vertical grip 16 is inserted into the handle 151. The lower end of the grip 16 is hinged to the lower end of the handle 151 by a pin.

[0031] When the steel wire rope 11 needs to be wound around the shaft 10 to lift the drive seat 7, rotate the positioning bolt 14 to disengage from the upper reinforcing frame 1, then flip the handle 16 to transfer it out of the handle 151, hold the handle 16 to drive the steel wire rope 11 to be wound around the shaft 10, and wound it twice. Rotate the positioning bolt 14 against the upper end face of the reinforcing frame 1 to position the drive seat 7.

[0032] Working principle: This structure is a material frame used in cashew nut processing. The frame is equipped with lifting lugs 12 for hoisting purposes. It has two sets of movable base plates 4. When the base plates 4 are horizontally positioned, as... Figure 1 As shown, the cashews can be supported by the first guide shaft 5 and the second guide shaft 8, so the cashews can be placed in the material frame for processes such as hanging and soaking.

[0033] When it is necessary to transfer cashews in the material frame to other equipment, such as a fumigation pot, the material frame can be suspended above the fumigation pot. Then, the drive seat 7 is moved upward by rotating the wire rope 11 around the shaft 10. The upward movement of the drive seat 7 will cause the bottom plate 4 to move upward and flip towards the middle of the material frame. As a result, an outlet appears between the side of the bottom plate 4 and the inner walls of the left and right sides of the box frame 3. At the same time, the bottom plate 4 is set at an angle to act as a guide plate, so that the cashews can be output from the outlet and fall into the fumigation pot.

[0034] The embodiments described herein are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the invention should be as set forth in the claims.
