Abstract

According to the spina date seed sorting and shelling device provided by the embodiment of the invention, spina date seeds to be shelled are poured into the barrel body from the feeding hole, and the spina date seeds can fall onto the sieve plate and slide down along the inclined direction of the sieve plate. In the sliding process of the spina date seeds, part of spina date seeds with small particle sizes can penetrate through the sieve plate and fall into the second cavity, and the remaining spina date seeds can directly fall into the first cavity through the notch. Due to the fact that saline water is contained in the first cavity and the second cavity, the spina date seeds poor in quality can be screened in a water separation mode. The spina date seeds floating on the surface can be removed by opening the water drainage pipeline, all saline water can be drained by opening the water drainage faucet at the bottom end, and finally the spina date seeds soaked in the saline water are subjected to shelling treatment through the stirring mechanism. By the adoption of the structural design, spina date seeds with different granularities can be screened through the inclined screening plate and stacked in the different cavities to be treated respectively, and therefore the shelling effect is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of jujube kernel processing equipment, and more specifically, to a jujube kernel sorting and dehulling device. Background Technology

[0002] Sour jujube seed is the dried, mature seed of the Rhamnaceae family, also known as jujube kernel or sour jujube pit.

[0003] In related technologies, because jujube seeds have a relatively hard outer shell, direct consumption may affect digestion and absorption. Shelled jujube seeds are easier to grind into powder, thus facilitating absorption and utilization by the body. Therefore, shelling devices are generally used with high-speed agitation to remove the shells from jujube seeds.

[0004] However, traditional shelling devices cannot sort and shell jujube kernels of different sizes. Due to volume limitations, some smaller jujube kernels are difficult to shell completely, thus affecting the quality of the processed jujube kernel product. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present application provides a jujube kernel sorting and dehulling device to solve the technical problem in the related art that the dehulling device cannot completely dehull small jujube kernels.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] A jujube kernel sorting and dehulling device includes:

[0008] The barrel body is mounted on the ground via a floor support. The top plate of the barrel body has a feeding port. The bottom plate of the barrel body is provided with a first discharge port and a second discharge port. The inner surface of the bottom plate of the barrel body is also provided with a concave surface that is recessed toward the first discharge port and the second discharge port.

[0009] A sieve plate is inclinedly disposed inside the barrel. The sieve plate has a notch along its thickness direction. The notch is located on the opposite side below the feed inlet. The height of one side of the notch is lower than the height of the opposite side.

[0010] A partition is vertically disposed inside the barrel body. The partition is connected to the lower surface of the sieve plate. The partition divides the internal space of the barrel body into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber corresponds vertically to the notch, and the second chamber corresponds vertically to the feed inlet. The bottom end of the first chamber is provided with a first discharge port, and the bottom end of the second chamber is provided with a second discharge port. The first chamber and the second chamber contain brine.

[0011] There are two drainage pipes, which are located on the outer surface of the side wall of the barrel and are respectively connected to the upper part of the first chamber and the second chamber.

[0012] There are two drain faucets, which are disposed on the outer surface of the side wall of the barrel. The drain faucets are connected to the first chamber and the second chamber respectively, and are located below the drain pipe.

[0013] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft vertically disposed inside the first chamber and the second chamber. Stirring blades are fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft. The stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the barrel. The end of the stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the driving end of a drive motor. The drive motor is disposed on the outer surface of the bottom plate of the barrel and is located beside the first discharge port and the second discharge port.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the brine level in the first chamber and the second chamber is greater than or equal to the height of the drain pipe.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the area of ​​the notch is equal to the opening area of ​​the first chamber.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the volume of the first chamber is smaller than the volume of the second chamber.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the length of the stirring shaft and the number of stirring blades in the first chamber are greater than those in the second chamber.

[0018] In some possible implementations, a magnetic door panel is hinged at the opening of the drain pipe.

[0019] The jujube kernel sorting and dehulling device provided in this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In the jujube kernel sorting and dehulling device provided in this application embodiment, the jujube kernels to be dehulled are poured into the barrel through the inlet. The kernels fall onto the sieve plate and slide down along its inclined direction. During the sliding process, some smaller kernels pass through the sieve plate and fall into the second chamber, while the remaining kernels fall directly into the first chamber through the notch. Since the first and second chambers contain brine, the lower-quality kernels can be screened using water separation. Kernels floating on the surface can be removed by opening the drain pipe, and all the brine can be discharged by opening the drain faucet at the bottom. Finally, the kernels soaked in brine are dehulled by a stirring mechanism. Using the above structural design, the inclined sieve plate can be used to screen jujube kernels of different sizes, and they can be piled into different chambers for separate processing, thereby improving the dehulling effect.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the jujube kernel sorting and shelling device provided in this application embodiment includes a barrel 100, a sieve plate 200, a partition plate 300, a drain pipe 400, a drain tap 600, and a stirring mechanism. The barrel 100 is a device for sorting and shelling batches of jujube kernels. The barrel 100 is set on the ground by a floor support 110. The top plate of the barrel 100 has a feed inlet 120, through which jujube kernels to be sorted and shelled can be poured into the barrel 100.

[0030] The sieve plate 200 is a structure installed inside the barrel 100 to sort jujube kernels by size. Specifically, the sieve plate 200 is inclined inside the barrel 100, and the sieve plate 200 has sieve holes along its thickness direction. Furthermore, the end of the sieve plate 200 at its higher position corresponds vertically to the feed inlet 120. That is, jujube kernels entering the barrel 100 through the feed inlet 120 will first fall to the higher position of the sieve plate 200, and then slide down along the inclined direction of the sieve plate 200 until they reach the notch 210. In this process, smaller jujube kernels will pass through the sieve plate 200, while larger jujube kernels will roll down to the notch 210 of the sieve plate 200.

[0031] In this embodiment, the interior of the barrel 100 is further provided with vertically distributed partitions 300. The partitions 300 divide the internal space of the barrel 100 into a first chamber 310 and a second chamber 320, which are respectively used for shelling jujube kernels of different sizes. Specifically, the first chamber 310 is connected to a notch 210, the opening area of ​​which is equal to the opening area of ​​the first chamber 310. The second chamber 320 is located below the feed inlet 120. Therefore, as the jujube kernels slide down the sieve plate 200, smaller kernels will pass through the sieve plate 200 into the second chamber 320, while larger kernels will pass through the notch 210 into the first chamber 310, ultimately achieving the sorting process for the jujube kernels.

[0032] The bottom of the barrel 100 is also provided with a first discharge port 130 and a second discharge port 140. The first discharge port 130 is connected to the first chamber 310, and similarly, the second discharge port 140 is connected to the second chamber 320. The jujube kernels after subsequent shelling can be collected and processed according to size through the first discharge port 130 and the second discharge port 140. Furthermore, the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320 are each filled with brine. Since the lower-quality jujube kernels are mostly incomplete, these kernels will float on the surface of the brine, thus achieving water-based sorting of the jujube kernels. In addition, the bottom surfaces of both the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320 are provided with concave surfaces 150 that slope towards the first discharge port 130 and the second discharge port 140, respectively.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two drain pipes 400 are also provided on the side of the barrel 100, which are positioned above the surface of the brine in the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320. Preferably, a magnetic door panel 500 is hinged to the outside of the drain pipe 400. The door panel is made of magnetic metal, and a magnetic piece is provided at the opening of the drain pipe 400. When the drain pipe 400 is opened, the jujube kernels floating on the surface of the brine will be discharged outward along with the brine through the drain pipe 400, thus keeping the high-quality jujube kernels inside the barrel 100. In addition, a drain faucet 600 is provided on the side of the barrel 100 near the bottom. The drain faucet 600 can be used to discharge the remaining brine in the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320, facilitating the subsequent shelling process of the brine-soaked jujube kernels.

[0034] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320 inside the barrel 100 are also equipped with a stirring mechanism. The stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft 700, which is rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the barrel 100. Stirring blades 800 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 700. A drive motor 900 is also fixedly mounted on the bottom plate of the barrel 100, and the drive end of the drive motor 900 is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 700. The drive motor 900 is located beside the first discharge port 130 and the second discharge port 140. By starting the drive motor 900, the stirring shaft 700 and the stirring blades 800 can be rotated to achieve the shelling process of the jujube kernels in the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320.

[0035] In the jujube kernel sorting and shelling device provided in this application embodiment, the jujube kernels to be shelled are poured into the barrel 100 through the feed inlet 120. The jujube kernels fall onto the sieve plate 200 and slide down along the inclined direction of the sieve plate 200. During the sliding process, some of the smaller jujube kernels will pass through the sieve plate 200 and fall into the second chamber 320, while the remaining jujube kernels will fall directly into the first chamber 310 through the notch 210. Since the first chamber 310 and the second chamber 320 contain brine, the jujube kernels of poor quality can be screened by water separation. By opening the drain pipe 400, the jujube kernels floating on the surface can be removed, and by opening the drain faucet 600 at the bottom, all the brine can be discharged. Finally, the jujube kernels soaked in brine are shelled by the stirring mechanism. By adopting the above structural design, the inclined sieve plate 200 can be used to screen jujube kernels of different sizes and stack them in different chambers for separate processing, thereby improving the shelling effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, the volume of the first chamber 310 is smaller than the volume of the second chamber 320, meaning the area of ​​the notch 210 is smaller than the area of ​​the entire sieve plate 200. This allows the jujube kernels entering the barrel 100 through the feed inlet 120 to slide down the inclined surface of the sieve plate 200 as much as possible, maximizing the screening effect. Preferably, the length of the stirring shaft 700 and the number of stirring blades 800 in the first chamber 310 are greater than those in the second chamber 320. This ensures that the jujube kernels in both chambers can undergo sufficient shelling, thereby guaranteeing the final overall shelling effect.
