Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit pit removal technology, and in particular relates to a fruit pulp and fruit pit separation machine. Background Technology

[0002] In fruit processing, the effective separation of pulp from pit is a key step in multiple production stages and is widely used in the pre-processing of foods such as jams, juices, and canned goods.

[0003] Traditional methods of fruit pit removal often involve manual picking or semi-mechanized operations, which are not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also fail to achieve complete preservation of the fruit pulp and thorough removal of the pit. While some existing fruit pit separation equipment has achieved a degree of mechanization, most of them focus only on pit removal and lack a structural design that simultaneously cuts and collects the fruit pulp. This results in incomplete pulp processing, requiring subsequent manual secondary sorting and impacting overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A fruit pulp and pit separator includes a support frame, a feeding box is installed on the upper end of the support frame, a cutting mechanism is installed on the upper end of the feeding box, a top frame is provided on one side of the feeding box, a pressing mechanism is installed on the upper end of the top frame, the pressing mechanism is located above the cutting mechanism, a slide rail is provided on one side of the top frame, and a material picking mechanism is slidably installed in the slide rail.

[0005] Preferably, the material handling mechanism includes a movable plate that slides within a slide rail, a second cylinder is mounted on the upper side of the movable plate, the piston end of the second cylinder is connected to the base plate, and multiple sets of round rods are provided on the lower side of the base plate, with insertion rods mounted at the lower ends of the round rods.

[0006] Preferably, one side of the movable plate is provided with multiple sets of protruding plates, and a cylinder three is installed on the protruding plate. The piston end of the cylinder three is connected to a push plate.

[0007] Preferably, the round rod is located inside the opening in the middle of the push plate.

[0008] Preferably, a reciprocating lead screw is rotatably installed inside the slide rail, and the reciprocating lead screw is threadedly connected to the other side of the moving plate. The reciprocating lead screw is driven by a motor.

[0009] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a core tube fixed to the upper end of the feed box, and multiple sets of hollow cylinders are provided at the upper end of the core tube. The hollow cylinders are connected to the core tube, and three sets of cutting blades are distributed at the upper end of the hollow cylinders.

[0010] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a cylinder 1 installed on the upper end of the top frame, the piston end of the cylinder 1 being connected to a connecting rod, and the lower end of the connecting rod being provided with multiple sets of pressure plates.

[0011] Preferably, a conveyor belt is installed on one side of the feed box.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the feeding box is symmetrically provided with guide plates, and the lower end of the feeding box is provided with inclined plates.

[0013] Preferably, the core tube is inclined and a guide rail is installed at the outlet.

[0014] The fruit pulp and pit separator of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This fruit pulp and pit separator, through a feeding mechanism consisting of a slide rail, a reciprocating screw, and a moving plate, combined with a cylinder and insert rod, achieves automatic feeding and precise transfer of fruit, replacing traditional manual feeding or simple feeding devices, significantly improving feeding stability and positioning accuracy. Simultaneously, the cutting mechanism employs a combination of a hollow cylinder and a cutting blade, along with an inclined pit tube and guide rail, ensuring smooth pit discharge and avoiding blockages. Compared to existing technologies with single cutting or poor pit discharge, this separator offers higher separation efficiency and operational reliability.

[0016] 2. This fruit pulp and pit separator features a pressing mechanism and a feeding mechanism that work in tandem. Driven by a cylinder, the pressure plate applies uniform pressure to the fruit, enabling simultaneous cutting and pitting, thus improving processing quality and yield. The guide plate and inclined plate structure on the feeding box facilitate rapid discharge of the pulp, preventing accumulation and ensuring smooth operation. The overall structure is compact and highly integrated, reducing manual intervention and improving automation and production efficiency. Compared to traditional pit separators, it offers significant advantages in stability, cleanliness, and ease of maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model discloses a fruit pulp and pit separator, including a support frame 1, a feeding box 2 installed on the upper end of the support frame 1, a cutting mechanism installed on the upper end of the feeding box 2, the cutting mechanism being used for fruit cutting operations, a top frame 6 provided on one side of the feeding box 2, a pressing mechanism installed on the upper end of the top frame 6, the pressing mechanism being located above the cutting mechanism, the pressing mechanism assisting the cutting mechanism in cutting, realizing pit removal while cutting, and a slide rail 11 provided on one side of the top frame 6, a material picking mechanism slidably installed in the slide rail 11, the material picking mechanism being used to move the fruit onto the cutting mechanism.

[0027] Specifically, the material-retrieving mechanism includes a movable plate 13 that slides within the slide rail 11. A second cylinder 14 is mounted on the upper side of the movable plate 13. The piston end of the second cylinder 14 is connected to the base plate 15. The base plate 15 can move up and down by extending and retracting the second cylinder 14. Since multiple sets of round rods 16 are provided on the lower side of the base plate 15, and the lower end of the round rods 16 is equipped with an insertion rod 17, when the second cylinder 14 pushes the base plate 15 downward, the insertion rod 17 can be used to insert into the upper end of the fruit to retrieve the fruit.

[0028] In addition, a reciprocating screw 12 is rotatably installed inside the slide rail 11. The reciprocating screw 12 is threadedly connected to the other side of the moving plate 13. The reciprocating screw 12 is driven by a motor. When the reciprocating screw 12 rotates, it causes the moving plate 13 to reciprocate within the slide rail 11, thereby moving the fruit to the cutting mechanism.

[0029] A conveyor belt 5 is installed on one side of the feed box 2. The conveyor belt 5 can arrange and transport the fruit, making it convenient for the fruit picking mechanism to pick up the fruit.

[0030] Multiple sets of protruding plates 18 are provided on one side of the moving plate 13. A cylinder 19 is installed on the protruding plate 18. The piston end of the cylinder 19 is connected to a push plate 20. The round rod 16 is located in the opening in the middle of the push plate 20. Normally, the push plate 20 is at the lower end of the round rod 16. When the cylinder 14 moves the bottom plate 15 downward, the round rod 16 has enough length to move downward to pick up the fruit. After the fruit is moved to the upper end of the cutting mechanism, the cylinder 14 extends and retracts to make the fruit fit against the upper end of the cutting mechanism. At this time, the cylinder 19 pushes the push plate 20 downward, so that the push plate 20 presses on the fruit. At the same time, the cylinder 14 moves the bottom plate 15 upward, leaving the fruit on the cutting mechanism to wait for cutting and pitting.

[0031] The cutting mechanism includes a core tube 21 fixed to the upper end of the feeding box 2. Multiple hollow cylinders 22 are provided at the upper end of the core tube 21. The hollow cylinders 22 are connected to the core tube 21. Three sets of cutting blades 23 are distributed at the upper end of the hollow cylinders 22. The fruit is located at the upper end of the hollow cylinders 22 through the feeding mechanism shell. By pressing, the fruit pit enters the hollow cylinder 22. The fruit pulp is cut by the cutting blades 23, and the fruit pit enters the core tube 21 from the hollow cylinder 22.

[0032] Since the pit tube 21 is inclined and a guide rail 24 is installed at the outlet, it is convenient for the pits to be discharged. Of course, the pits in the pit tube 21 can also be manually removed periodically.

[0033] The pressing mechanism includes a cylinder 7 installed on the top of the top frame 6. The piston end of the cylinder 7 is connected to the connecting rod 9. The lower end of the connecting rod 9 is provided with multiple sets of pressure plates 10. When the fruit is on the hollow cylinder 22, the cylinder 7 can push the pressure plates 10 to move downward, squeezing the fruit downward to remove the pit and cut the pulp. Of course, when the pressure plates 10 move downward, the picking mechanism needs to move to the conveyor belt 5 to pick up the fruit.

[0034] A guide plate 3 is symmetrically arranged at the upper end of the feeding box 2, and an inclined plate 4 is arranged at the lower end of the feeding box 2. After the pulp enters the feeding box 2, it is discharged faster by the guide plate 3 and the inclined plate 4.

[0035] The working principle of a fruit pulp and pit separator: Fruit is transported by conveyor belt 5. The picking mechanism moves to the conveyor belt 5 by sliding in the slide rail 11. Cylinder 2 14 drives the insertion rod 17 to insert into the fruit to complete the picking. The picking mechanism moves back so that the fruit is located at the upper end of the hollow cylinder 22. Cylinder 2 14 extends and retracts so that the fruit fits against the upper end of the cutting mechanism. At this time, cylinder 3 19 pushes the push plate 20 downward so that the push plate 20 presses on the fruit. At the same time, cylinder 2 14 moves the bottom plate 15 upward to leave the fruit on the cutting mechanism. The pressing mechanism presses down to realize the cutting of the pulp and pitting. The pit is discharged through the pit tube 21, and the pulp falls out through the guide plate 3 and the inclined plate 4.
