Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coconut juice production equipment, and in particular to a coconut meat pre-processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Coconut juice production is a complex process involving multiple stages and equipment. It requires strict selection of raw materials, meticulous processing techniques, and advanced production equipment to produce high-quality, delicious coconut juice products.
[0003] In traditional coconut juice production, the first step is to select mature, disease-free coconuts as raw materials. The harvested coconuts are then washed to remove surface dirt and impurities. Next, a coconut crusher is used to open the coconuts, collecting the flowing coconut water, which is then filtered for later use. This first step in the production line utilizes advanced mechanical structures and efficient crushing technology to ensure that the coconuts are crushed quickly and accurately.
[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent CN113854587B discloses a portable coconut shelling machine, which includes a fixed block with a movable groove at its front end. A collection box is movably installed inside the movable groove. Connecting blocks are fixedly installed on both the left and right sides inside the fixed block. A starting device is provided on the rear side of the fixed block. A clamping device is provided inside the fixed block, including a moving block with a groove at its upper end. In the technical solution disclosed in this patent, the rotating block drives the moving block to move up and down continuously. The moving block drives the fixed cone to continuously collide with the squeezing block while pressing the coconut until the fixed cone inserts into the lower end of the coconut. When the squeezing block squeezes the coconut, the pressure causes the coconut to crack from the fixed cone. Coconut juice flows out from the coconut, flows through the connecting hole into the interior of the guide column, and then into the collection box for collection. This avoids the situation where the worker becomes fatigued and the work efficiency decreases when manually opening multiple coconuts in a short period of time.
[0005] However, the aforementioned portable coconut shell crusher still suffers from low coconut meat processing efficiency. Specifically, the core solution of the existing technology involves a moving block driving a fixed cone to continuously collide with the pressing block against the coconut until the fixed cone penetrates the lower end of the coconut. The pressing block, through pressure, causes the coconut to crack open at the fixed cone, allowing coconut juice to flow out. However, for freshly harvested young coconuts, the shell has a thick husk, making it difficult to position the fixed cone for successful shell crushing, requiring manual adjustment by the user. Furthermore, after extracting the juice, manufacturers need to scrape the coconut meat from the inside of the shell for subsequent processing such as shredding and grinding. Before shredding, the coconut needs to be evenly split into at least two pieces, and the meat is scraped out using a special scraper to create loose coconut meat. Then, the coconut meat is placed in a dryer at a controlled temperature of 70-80℃ to dry into fragrant dried shreds for storage. Only after the coconut shreds are dried can they be prepared for the subsequent grinding process. However, the coconut shell-breaking machines disclosed in the existing technology are not convenient for pre-processing the coconut meat to ensure that the coconut shell is evenly broken into several pieces.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a coconut meat pretreatment device to address the technical problem of low coconut meat processing efficiency in existing technologies.

[0011] Furthermore, the first licking roller rotating structure is connected to the power input wheel, and the two bearing structures are respectively disposed on both sides of the first licking roller rotating structure, with each bearing structure disposed on the main bearing frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the second licker roller rotating structure is arranged adjacent to the first licker roller rotating structure, and a bearing structure is arranged on each side of the second licker roller rotating structure, with each bearing structure mounted on the main support frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the driving gear is disposed at one end of the first spitting roller rotating structure, and the driven gear is disposed adjacent to the driving gear at one end of the second spitting roller rotating structure, with the driving gear and the driven gear meshing together.

[0017] In summary, the coconut meat pre-processing device of this utility model comprises a main support frame, a main power mechanism, a piercing roller actuation structure, a collection and guiding structure, a pressing and positioning structure, and a cam drive mechanism.

In this technical solution, coconuts enter the piercing roller actuation structure from the production line; subsequently, the cam drive mechanism drives the pressing and positioning structure to press down, positioning the corresponding coconut onto the magnetic roller actuation structure. Next, the cam drive mechanism drives the piercing roller action structure to start operating. Simultaneously, the pressing and positioning structure, powered by the cam drive mechanism, maintains constant pressure on the coconut.

This avoids the need for further manual crushing of the coconut shell after juicing, as required in existing technologies, to extract the coconut meat. Therefore, this new coconut meat pre-processing device solves the technical problem of low coconut meat processing efficiency in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a coconut meat pretreatment device comprising: a main support frame 1, a main power mechanism 2, a piercing roller actuation structure 3, a collection and guiding structure 4, a pressing and positioning structure 5, and a cam drive mechanism 6; the main power mechanism 2 is disposed within the main support frame 1, the piercing roller actuation structure 3 is movably disposed on the main support frame 1, and the main power mechanism 2 is drivenly connected to the piercing roller actuation structure 3; the collection and guiding structure 4 is disposed below the piercing roller actuation structure 3 and is connected to the main support frame 1; the pressing and positioning structure 5 is disposed above the piercing roller actuation structure 3, and the cam drive mechanism 6 is adjacent to the pressing and positioning structure 5 and connected to the main support frame 1, and is drivenly connected to the pressing and positioning structure 5.
[0029] Specifically, when the coconut meat pre-processing device of this utility model is in operation, coconuts that have undergone selection and washing enter the piercing roller action structure 3 from the production line. Then, the cam drive mechanism 6 drives the pressing positioning structure 5 to press down, positioning the corresponding coconuts onto the magnetic roller action structure 3. Next, the cam drive mechanism 6 drives the piercing roller action structure 3 to begin operation, while the pressing positioning structure 5, under the power of the cam drive mechanism 6, maintains constant pressure on the coconuts; so that the coconuts, under the action of the piercing roller action structure 3, achieve the processes of shell breaking, coconut water flowing out, and separation into several pieces. The broken coconuts and coconut water flow out from the collection guide structure 4 and are collected as needed. Afterwards, the broken coconut shells all have coconut meat attached, which the user can scrape off using a special scraper to make loose coconut meat. Then, the coconut meat is placed in a dryer, and the temperature is controlled at 70-80℃ to dry it into dried shreds with a rich coconut aroma, which can then be stored for later use. Subsequently, new coconuts can continuously flow into the external production line, and the coconut meat pre-processing device of this invention can continuously cycle through processes such as crushing and juicing. Therefore, it is evident that the coconut meat pre-processing device of this invention can significantly improve the pre-processing efficiency of crushing coconut shells to facilitate the separation of coconut shells and coconut meat by the user.
[0030] Furthermore, the main power mechanism 2 includes a main motor 201, a power output wheel 202, a transmission belt 203, and a power input wheel 204; the main motor 201 is fixedly connected to the main support frame 1, and the main motor 201 is drivenly connected to the power output wheel 202; the transmission belt 203 drives the power output wheel 202 and the power input wheel 204 respectively.
[0031] Furthermore, the spit roller actuation structure 3 includes a first spit roller rotating structure 301, a bearing structure 302, a second spit roller rotating structure 303, a drive gear 304, and a driven gear 305. The first spit roller rotating structure 301 is connected to the power input wheel 204. The two bearing structures 302 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first spit roller rotating structure 301, and each bearing structure 302 is disposed on the main support frame 1. The second spit roller rotating structure 303 is disposed adjacent to the first spit roller rotating structure 301. One bearing structure 302 is disposed on each side of the second spit roller rotating structure 303, and each bearing structure 302 is disposed on the main support frame 1. The drive gear 304 is disposed at one end of the first spit roller rotating structure 301, and the driven gear 305 is disposed adjacent to the drive gear 304 at one end of the second spit roller rotating structure 303. The drive gear 304 and the driven gear 305 are meshed together.
[0032] Specifically, the first spiking roller rotating structure 301 has a rotating shaft structure 301a, a roller body 301b, and a plurality of spike structures 301c; the two ends of the rotating shaft structure 301a are respectively movably connected to a bearing structure 302, and the roller body 301b is disposed in the middle of the rotating shaft structure 301a; the surface of the roller body 301b is evenly distributed with a plurality of spike structures 301c. Further, the second spiking roller rotating structure 303 may also include the rotating shaft structure 301a, the roller body 301b, and a plurality of spike structures 301c.
[0033] More specifically, when the main motor 201 is powered on and started, it drives the power output wheel 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the power input wheel 204 to rotate via the transmission belt 203. The power input wheel 204 can reduce the rotational speed and increase the torque, thereby driving the first spiked roller rotating structure 301 to rotate. The drive gear 304 at the end of the first spiked roller rotating structure 301 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the driven gear 305 and the second spiked roller rotating structure 303 through meshing transmission. The pressing positioning structure 5 is located above the first magnetic roller rotating structure 301 and the second spiked roller rotating structure 303, thereby pressing the coconut between the first magnetic roller rotating structure 301 and the second spiked roller rotating structure 303, so that the coconut is squeezed and crushed by the rollers 301b and spike structures 301c provided on both, thereby realizing the functions of juicing and shell breaking.
[0034] Furthermore, the collection and guiding structure 4 has a funnel-shaped structure 401 and a guiding pipe structure 402; the funnel-shaped structure 401 is disposed below the spiked roller actuation structure 3, and the funnel-shaped structure 401 is connected to the main support frame 1. The guiding pipe structure 402 is connected to the bottom of the funnel-shaped structure 401. Specifically, coconut water and broken coconut meat falling from the spiked roller actuation structure 3 can be collected through the funnel-shaped structure 401 and flow out to a preset position through the guiding pipe structure 402.
[0035] Furthermore, the pressing positioning structure 5 includes a pressing positioning arm 501, a guide bracket 502, a spring return structure 503, and a roller structure 504; the pressing positioning arm 501 is disposed above the licker roller action structure 3, the pressing positioning arm 501 is movably connected to the guide bracket 502, and the guide bracket 502 is disposed on the main support frame 1; the spring return structure 503 is connected between the guide bracket 502 and the pressing positioning arm 501, and the roller structure 504 is disposed on the top of the pressing positioning arm 501.
[0036] Furthermore, the spring reset structure 503 has a reset guide post 503a and a reset spring 503b; the two reset guide posts 503a are respectively disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the pressing positioning arm 501, each reset guide post 503a is disposed on the guide bracket 502, and a reset spring 503b is sleeved on each reset guide post 503a, and each reset spring 503b is respectively connected to the pressing positioning arm 501 and the guide bracket 502.
[0037] Furthermore, the cam drive mechanism 6 includes a cam rotation structure 601, a cam drive motor 602, and a cam support frame 603; the cam rotation structure 601 is movably connected to the roller structure 504, the cam drive motor 602 is drivenly connected to the cam rotation structure 601, the cam drive motor 602 is fixedly connected to the cam support frame 603, and the cam support frame 603 is disposed on the main support frame 1.
[0038] Specifically, when the cam drive motor 602 drives the protruding part of the cam rotation structure 601 to move downward, it can push the pressing positioning arm 501 downward to press and position the coconut placed on the thorn roller action structure 3. At this time, the return spring 503c in the spring return decoupling 503 is in a compressed state. When the protruding part of the cam rotation structure 601 moves upward, the return spring 503c restores its deformation to push the pressing positioning arm 501 back to its original position.
[0039] In summary, the coconut meat pre-processing device of this utility model is provided with a main support frame 1, a main power mechanism 2, a spiked roller actuation structure 3, a collection and guiding structure 4, a pressing and positioning structure 5, and a cam drive mechanism 6. The main support frame 1 houses the main power mechanism 2, and the spiked roller actuation structure 3 is movably mounted on the main support frame 1. The main power mechanism 2 is driven and connected to the spiked roller actuation structure 3. The collection and guiding structure 4 is located below the spiked roller actuation structure 3 and is connected to the main support frame 1. The pressing and positioning structure 5 is located above the spiked roller actuation structure 3, and the cam drive mechanism 6 is adjacent to the pressing and positioning structure 5 and connected to the main support frame 1. In this technical solution, coconuts enter the spiked roller actuation structure 3 from the production line; subsequently, the cam drive mechanism 6 drives the pressing and positioning structure 5 to press down, positioning the corresponding coconuts onto the magnetic roller actuation structure 3. Next, the cam drive mechanism 6 drives the piercing roller action structure 3 to start operating. Simultaneously, the pressing and positioning structure 5, under the power of the cam drive mechanism 6, maintains constant pressure on the coconut. This allows the coconut to be cracked, release coconut water, and separate into several pieces under the action of the piercing roller action structure 3. This avoids the need for further manual crushing of the coconut shell after juicing in existing technologies to extract the coconut meat. Therefore, this new coconut meat pre-processing device solves the technical problem of low coconut meat processing efficiency in existing technologies.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
