[0024] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0025] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a pitting device for dried fruit production, comprising:
[0026] Workbench 1, with a core extraction frame 11 fixedly installed on the top of workbench 1;
[0027] Pitting mechanism 2 is located on top of workbench 1. Pitting mechanism 2 is used to remove the pits from inside the fruit. Pitting mechanism 2 includes a pitting component, an anti-clogging component, and a centering component.
[0028] Feeding mechanism 3 is located on top of workbench 1 and is used to transport fruit along a circular trajectory.
[0029] The anti-clogging component includes a square tube 23, with a solenoid valve 231 fixedly connected to the top of the square tube 23. A gas source pipe 232 is threadedly connected to the top of the solenoid valve 231, and a flexible hose 233 is threadedly connected to the front of the square tube 23. A connector 234 is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible hose 233 away from the square tube 23. The actual length of the gas source pipe 232 is designed according to the usage environment. The user pre-connects the end of the gas source pipe 232 to a high-pressure gas source. After the tubular cutter 225 completes the pitting work, the solenoid valve 231 is opened, and the high-pressure gas passes through the gas source pipe 232 and the solenoid valve 231 into the square tube 23, and then through the flexible hose 233 and the connector 234 into the tubular cutter 225. Through the pressure of the gas, the pit inside the tubular cutter 225 can be pushed downwards, allowing it to fall smoothly into the pit outlet frame 11, thus achieving the anti-clogging function.
[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pitting assembly includes a stand 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1. A support platform 22 is fixedly installed on the front of the stand 21. A cylinder 221 is fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 22. The telescopic end of the cylinder 221 extends to the bottom of the support platform 22 and is fixedly connected to a lifting platform 222. A square tube 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the lifting platform 222. By controlling the cylinder 221 to extend, the lifting platform 222 can be moved down as a whole, and at the same time, the tubular cutter 225 is driven to move down, thus realizing the function of removing the pit from the inside of the fruit.
[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a movable block 223 is detachably connected to the front of the lifting platform 222. A connecting sleeve 224 is fixedly installed on the front of the movable block 223. A tubular cutter 225 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 224. A connecting plug 234 is movably inserted into the top of the tubular cutter 225. The movable block 223 is installed on the lifting platform 222 by bolts. With this design, the user can replace the tubular cutter 225 of different sizes to remove fruit pits of different outer diameters. After the tubular cutter 225 is replaced, the hose 233 and the connecting plug 234 can be replaced to replace the connecting plug 234 that is compatible with the inner diameter of the tubular cutter 225.
[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the central component includes an extension platform 24, which is fixedly installed on the back of the stand 21. A second cylinder 241 is fixedly installed on the top of the extension platform 24. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 241 extends to the bottom of the extension platform 24 and is fixedly connected to a lifting block 242. A sliding sleeve 243 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting block 242. The sliding sleeve 243 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the stand 21. Alloy support arms 244 are fixedly installed on both sides of the sliding sleeve 243 to control the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 241. Through the transmission of the lifting block 242, the sliding sleeve 243 can be driven to slide on the outer wall of the stand 21, thereby adjusting the overall height of the elastic plastic clip 248 to avoid the elastic plastic clip 248 interfering with the movement of the fruit inside the pitting slot 36.
[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a No. 3 cylinder 245 is fixedly installed on the side of the alloy support arm 244. The telescopic end of the No. 3 cylinder 245 extends to the other side of the alloy support arm 244 and is fixedly connected to a telescopic block 246. A receiving block 247 is detachably connected to the side of the telescopic block 246 away from the No. 3 cylinder 245. An elastic plastic clip 248 is fixedly installed at the end of the receiving block 247. A rubber block 249 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elastic plastic clip 248. By controlling the two No. 3 cylinders 245 to extend simultaneously, the two elastic plastic clips 248 can be moved towards the fruit, realizing the function of clamping the fruit before pitting, increasing the accuracy of pitting. Through the design of the rubber block 249, the fruit can be flexibly clamped, reducing damage to the fruit.
[0034] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 includes a base 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 1. A support frame 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 31. A rotating seat 34 is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 32. A stepper motor 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 32. The output shaft of the stepper motor 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 34. A material platform 35 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating seat 34. A pitting groove 36 is provided on the top of the material platform 35. In use, the fruit can be placed inside the pitting groove 36. By controlling the stepper motor 33 to work, the material platform 35 can be rotated, so that the fruit is conveyed along a circular trajectory. The user can place and remove the fruit from the front of this structure, keeping the user away from the tubular cutter 225 and increasing safety.
[0035] Working principle: In use, the fruit is placed inside the pitting slot 36. The stepper motor 33 is controlled to rotate the material platform 35, moving the fruit below the tubular cutter 225. Then, the second cylinder 241 is extended, moving the elastic plastic clamp 248 down to the side of the fruit. Then, the two third cylinders 245 are extended simultaneously, moving the two elastic plastic clamps 248 towards the fruit to clamp it in the center. Next, the first cylinder 221 is extended, driving the tubular cutter 225 downward, thus removing the fruit pit. Then, the solenoid valve 231 is opened, allowing high-pressure gas to enter the tubular cutter 225. The gas pressure pushes the pits inside the tubular cutter 225 downward, allowing them to fall smoothly into the pit outlet frame 11, thus preventing blockage. Finally, the solenoid valve 231 is closed, and the first cylinder 221, the third cylinder 245, and the second cylinder 241 are reset.
[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
