[0002] Watermelon seeds are the seeds of the watermelon plant, which belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family. They can be used for food or medicine. Generally speaking, the seeds from the watermelons we eat can also be made into watermelon seeds. In order to significantly improve the efficiency of producing watermelon seed kernels, shelling devices are needed. Compared with the traditional manual shelling method, mechanized shelling can process a large number of watermelon seeds faster, thereby meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0003] Currently, some shelling devices lack a pushing function in their feed hoppers. During the feeding process, the seeds may accumulate or become blocked, hindering the smooth feeding of the shelling device. This affects the normal operation of the shelling device, reduces production efficiency, and operators may need to manually clean or push the seeds, increasing the intensity of manual labor. Furthermore, some shelling devices lack auxiliary movement functions and require manual handling, which limits the layout adjustment of the device and makes it difficult to meet diverse production needs. Manual handling means hiring more labor to complete this task, thereby increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0020] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a shelling device for watermelon seed kernel production includes a shelling machine body 1. Support legs 2 are bolted to the surface of the shelling machine body 1. Three support legs 2 are evenly distributed on three sides of the surface of the shelling machine body 1. A feed hopper 3 is connected to the top of the shelling machine body 1, allowing watermelon seeds to enter the interior of the shelling machine body 1 through the feed hopper 3. A push plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper 3's through-slot. A transmission plate 5 is bolted to one side of the surface of the push plate 4. A vertical plate 6 is bolted to one side of the surface of the shelling machine body 1. The surface of the transmission plate 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical plate 6. A support plate 7 is attached, and a transmission mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the support plate 7. Under the action of the support plate 7, the parts inside the transmission mechanism 8 can be prevented from falling. When the transmission mechanism 8 runs, it can move the transmission plate 5. When the transmission plate 5 moves, it can move the push plate 4. When the push plate 4 moves, it can push the watermelon seeds inside the feed hopper 3. A horizontal plate 9 is bolted to one side of the surface of the two side support legs 2. A moving mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the horizontal plate 9. Under the action of the horizontal plate 9, the parts inside the moving mechanism 10 can be supported. When the parts inside the moving mechanism 10 move to the appropriate position, the shelling machine body 1 can be moved easily.

[0022] The transmission mechanism 8 includes a servo motor 81. One side of the surface of the servo motor 81 is bolted to one side of the surface of the support plate 7. The output shaft of the servo motor 81 is bolted to a drive shaft 82, which can rotate under the action of the servo motor 81. The other end of the surface of the drive shaft 82 is bolted to a reciprocating threaded rod 83, which is rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the support plate 7. A movable seat 84 is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating threaded rod 83. One side of the surface of the movable seat 84 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the support plate 7. The movable seat 84 has a square cross-section, and the inner cavity of the support plate 7 also has a square design. When the reciprocating threaded rod 83 rotates, the movable seat 84 can be raised and lowered. One side of the surface of the movable seat 84 is bolted to one side of the surface of the transmission plate 5. There is a transmission disc 85, and the opposite surfaces of the two transmission discs 85 are semi-circular. When the moving seat 84 is raised or lowered, the transmission disc 85 on one side can be raised or lowered. When the transmission disc 85 on one side is raised or lowered to a suitable position, the transmission disc 85 on the other side moves. When the transmission disc 85 on the other side moves, the transmission plate 5 moves. When the transmission plate 5 moves, the push plate 4 moves. The surface of the push plate 4 is fixedly connected with a tension spring 86. There are four tension springs 86, which are evenly distributed on the four sides of the surface of the push plate 4. The other end of the surface of the tension spring 86 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the vertical plate 6. When the push plate 4 moves, the tension springs 86 on the four sides can be stretched. When the transmission disc 85 on one side continues to rise or fall, the push plate 4 can drive the transmission plate 5 back to its original position under the action of the tension springs 86 on the four sides.

[0023] The moving mechanism 10 includes a stepper motor 101. One side of the surface of the stepper motor 101 is bolted to one side of the top of the horizontal plate 9. The output shaft of the stepper motor 101 is bolted to a lead screw 102. Under the action of the stepper motor 101, the lead screw 102 can rotate. The surface of the lead screw 102 is threadedly connected to a transmission sleeve 103. One end of the surface of the transmission sleeve 103 is bolted to a mounting base 104. The surface of the mounting base 104 is slidably connected to the surface of the transmission sleeve 103. When the lead screw 102 rotates, the transmission sleeve 103 can move. When the transmission sleeve 103 moves, the mounting base 104 can move. The bottom of the mounting base 104 is bolted to four rollers 105, which are evenly distributed on the four sides of the bottom of the mounting base 104. When the mounting base 104 moves, the rollers 105 can move.

[0024] Working principle: When watermelon seeds are poured into the feed hopper 3, the servo motor 81 is turned on. Under the action of the servo motor 81, the drive shaft 82 rotates. When the drive shaft 82 rotates, the reciprocating threaded rod 83 rotates. Then, the reciprocating threaded rod 83 rotates, which moves the moving seat 84. Next, the moving seat 84 moves, which raises and lowers one side of the transmission plate 85. When one side of the transmission plate 85 is raised or lowered to a suitable position, the other side of the transmission plate 85 moves. Then, the movement of the other side of the transmission plate 85 moves the transmission plate 5, which drives the push plate 4 to move. Next, the movement of the push plate 4 pushes the watermelon seeds inside the feed hopper 3. At the same time, when the push plate 4 moves, the tension springs 86 on all four sides are stretched, and one side of the transmission plate 85 continues to rise and fall. Under the action of the tension springs 86 on all four sides, the watermelon seeds inside the feed hopper 3 are pushed. Push plate 4 returns to its original position. Next, push plate 4 returning to its original position can cause transmission plate 5 to drive transmission disc 85 on the other side to return to its original position. This process is repeated, and push plate 4 can be in a reciprocating motion state under this action. When it is necessary to move the shelling machine body 1, stepper motor 101 is turned on. Under the action of stepper motor 101, lead screw 102 can be rotated. Then, the rotation of lead screw 102 can cause transmission sleeve 103 to descend. Next, the descent of transmission sleeve 103 can cause mounting base 104 to descend. When mounting base 104 descends, the four rollers 105 on all four sides can descend. Then, when the rollers 105 descend to the appropriate position, they can contact the ground. Under the reaction force, the shelling machine body 1 and support leg 2 can be separated from the ground. Under this action, it is convenient to move the shelling machine body 1.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
