Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, and in particular to a macadamia nut opening machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the macadamia nut processing industry, the macadamia nut opening machine is a key piece of equipment for achieving efficient and precise opening, and its performance directly affects processing efficiency and product quality. With the increasing market demand for macadamia nut processing, the call for technological innovation in opening machines is growing stronger.

[0003] Traditional macadamia nut opening machines typically employ a simple gravity-feeding and coarse-grained cutting structure. Gravity-feeding relies on the tilt of the hopper to allow the nuts to roll naturally into the cutting area. The cutting process is usually driven by a single blade driven by a motor, with the cutting depth and force adjusted manually based on experience. While this mechanical structure and technical principle can accomplish basic opening operations, it has many limitations.

[0004] However, these traditional fruit-opening machines have revealed inconsistencies in feeding during practical applications. Relying solely on gravity for feeding makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of fruit fed each time. Feeding too much fruit causes a large influx into the cutting area, easily leading to blockages inside the equipment. This not only affects the normal opening process for subsequent fruits but may also cause equipment failure due to mechanical overload. Feeding too little fruit causes the cutting device to frequently idle, wasting energy and significantly reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, manually adjusting the feeding amount based on experience makes it difficult to ensure consistent feeding accuracy for each batch, resulting in inconsistent product quality and hindering the large-scale and standardized development of the macadamia nut processing industry. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a macadamia nut opening machine, which aims to improve the problems of unstable feeding in traditional opening machines, excessive feeding causing accumulation that affects opening, insufficient feeding causing the equipment to idle, and difficulty in controlling the accuracy of manual feeding.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a macadamia nut opening machine, comprising a housing, an opening assembly disposed inside the housing, a support box fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing, a quantitative feeding assembly disposed on the inner wall of the support box, and a screening assembly disposed above the support box;

[0007] The quantitative feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of a support box. A second protective box is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support box. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second protective box. A feeding box is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. A first sliding column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box. A closing block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the first sliding column. A spring is sleeved on one end of the first sliding column.

[0008] Furthermore, the screening component includes a screening plate, which is disposed above the support box. A release groove is provided on one side of the outer wall of the screening plate. A fixing box is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support box. A sliding column II is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing box. A spring II is sleeved on one end of the sliding column II. A slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the spring II. A pressing block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the slider. A fixing post is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the slider.

[0009] Furthermore, the opening assembly includes a cutting blade disposed inside the housing. A hopper is fixedly connected to the upper side of the housing, and a guide plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the hopper. A protective cover is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the housing, and a motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover. A transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A transmission shaft is also disposed on one side of the outer wall of the housing, and a transmission belt is connected between the transmission shaft and the transmission shaft. A cleaning roller is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transmission shaft, and a distributing roller is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the transmission shaft. An electric slide rail is disposed in the middle of the housing, and a moving plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate, and an opening box is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. An electric slide rail is disposed on the lower side of the housing, and a lifting plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail. The cutting blade is disposed on the upper surface of the lifting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fixing column is slidably connected inside the release groove, and the fixing column is used to limit the position of the screening plate.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the slider, and the second spring is used to push the slider to move.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the closed block, and the spring is used to push the closed block to move.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper surface of the sealing block is slidably connected to the lower surface of the feed hopper, and the sealing block is used to close the feed hopper.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper surface of the feeding box is slidably connected to the lower surface of the feeding hopper, and the feeding box is used to open the feeding hopper.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this invention, in the initial state, the closing block closes the feeding hopper under the action of a spring. When feeding is required, the electric push rod pushes the feeding box to slide, opening the feeding hopper, and a measured amount of macadamia nuts falls into the feeding box, completing the feeding action. This solves the problems of unstable feeding in traditional fruit opening machines, excessive feeding causing accumulation and affecting opening, and insufficient feeding causing the equipment to idle, as well as the difficulty in controlling the accuracy of manual feeding. It achieves precise quantitative feeding and strict control of the feeding amount each time. This ensures a stable working rhythm and smooth process connection of the fruit opening machine, guarantees consistent opening treatment for each fruit, and improves product quality consistency and production efficiency.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, macadamia nuts are placed on a screening plate for screening. When replacing the screening plate, the squeezing block is pulled to drive the fixed column out of the release groove to remove the old plate. The reverse operation can be used to install a new plate. This allows for the replacement of screening plates of different specifications according to the actual size of the macadamia nuts, ensuring that the size of the fruits entering the opening machine is relatively consistent. This helps to improve the opening effect and product quality, and enhances the versatility of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Specifically, in the initial state, the closing block 27 is located below the feed hopper 28 and closed by the action of spring 25. When feeding is required, the electric push rod 23 pushes the feeding box 26, which moves below the feed hopper 28 and opens it. At the same time, it pushes the closing block 27 to slide along the slide column 24 against the force of spring 25, and a fixed amount of macadamia nuts fall into the feeding box 26.

A fixing post 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the slider 33. The opening assembly includes a cutting blade 21. The casing 1 is located inside the outer shell 1. A hopper 11 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner side of the casing 1. A guide plate 12 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the outer wall of the hopper 11. A protective cover 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the casing 1. A motor 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 2. A drive shaft 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. A drive shaft 8 is located on one side of the outer wall of the casing 1. A drive belt 10 connects the drive shaft 8 and the drive shaft 9. A cleaning roller 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive shaft 8.

A moving plate 18 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail 17. A cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 18. An open box 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 16. An electric slide rail 20 is installed inside the lower side of the outer casing 1. A lifting plate 19 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the electric slide rail 20. A cutting blade 21 is installed on the upper surface of the lifting plate 19. A fixed column 29 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the release groove 5. 9 is used to limit the screening plate 4. One end of spring 2 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of slider 33. Spring 2 32 is used to push slider 33 to move. One end of spring 1 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of sealing block 27. Spring 1 25 is used to push sealing block 27 to move. The upper surface of sealing block 27 is slidably connected to the lower surface of feed hopper 28. Sealing block 27 is used to close feed hopper 28. The upper surface of discharge box 26 is slidably connected to the lower surface of feed hopper 28. Discharge box 26 is used to open feed hopper 28.

[0031] Specifically, macadamia nuts are placed on the screening plate 4 above the support box 3 for screening. When replacing the screening plate 4, pulling the squeezing block 30 causes the slider 33 to slide along the sliding post 31 and stretches the spring 32, causing the fixing post 29 to slide inside the screening plate 4. Once the fixing post 29 connects with the release groove 5, the screening plate 4 can be removed. During installation, align the release groove 5 of the screening plate 4 with the fixing post 29 and press it down. The spring 32 retracts, causing the slider 33 to slide, allowing the fixing post 29 to slide laterally on the inner wall of the screening plate 4 to complete the installation. At this time, the motor 7 drives the transmission shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 8 to rotate through the transmission belt 10, thereby driving the distribution roller 14 and the cleaning roller 13 to operate. The macadamia nuts pass through the feed hopper 28 and the discharge hopper 11, and are evenly distributed by the distribution roller 14 under the guidance of the guide plate 12 and fall into the opening box 15. The cylinder 16 pushes the opening box 15 to move under the cooperation of the electric slide rail 17 and the moving plate 18. The lifting plate 19 where the cutting blade 21 is located rises under the action of the electric slide rail 20 to complete the opening, and then the lifting plate 19 descends.

[0032] Working principle: When a macadamia nut opening machine is needed, the output end of motor 7 drives the second transmission shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the first transmission shaft 8 to rotate via the transmission belt 10. This causes the distributing roller 14 and the cleaning roller 13 to rotate. The macadamia nuts pass through the feeding hopper 28 and the discharge hopper 11, and are evenly distributed by the distributing roller 14 under the action of the guide plate 12. They then fall into the opening box 15. The cylinder 16 drives the opening box 15 to move to the appropriate position with the cooperation of the electric slide rail 17 and the moving plate 18. At the same time, the lifting plate 19 where the cutting blade 21 is located is driven by the electric slide rail 20. The lifting plate 19 rises to open the macadamia nuts. After opening, the lifting plate 19 descends and the macadamia nuts enter the feeding hopper 28. Initially, the closing block 27 is below the feeding hopper 28 under the action of spring 25, closing the feeding hopper 28. When feeding is needed, the electric push rod 23 pushes the feeding box 26 to move. The feeding box 26 slides below the feeding hopper 28, opening the feeding hopper 28. At the same time, the force of the closing block 27 squeezing the spring 25 slides along the sliding column 24, and a fixed amount of macadamia nuts fall into the feeding box 26. The cycle is repeated to complete the fixed feeding action.

[0033] Furthermore, the screening plate 4 is located above the support box 3. When macadamia nuts are placed on the screening plate 4, screening is completed to ensure that the macadamia nuts are of uniform size. When the screening plate 4 needs to be replaced, first pull the squeezing block 30 to slide. The squeezing block 30 drives the slider 33 to slide along the second sliding column 31. While the slider 33 is sliding, the second spring 32 is stretched, which drives the fixed column 29 to slide inside the screening plate 4. When the fixed column 29 is connected to the release groove 5, the screening plate 4 can be removed directly to complete the disassembly. When the screening plate 4 needs to be installed, align the release groove 5 inside the screening plate 4 with the fixed column 29 and press it down. Finally, the contraction of the second spring 32 drives the slider 33 to slide along the second sliding column 31. The slider 33 drives the fixed column 29 to slide laterally on the inner wall of the screening plate 4 to achieve installation. This allows the screening plate 4 to be replaced according to the size of the macadamia nuts.
