Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated machine for blanching and flavoring hickory nuts, belonging to the technical field of food processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] After the astringency removal process, pecans often need to be seasoned to improve their taste. However, before seasoning, the pecans need to be boiled at high temperature (commonly known as blanching) so that the pecans can absorb the seasoning and water evenly into the kernels under the effect of temperature difference, thus achieving the purpose of even seasoning.

[0003] Most existing hickory processing equipment consists of multiple pieces of equipment. The blanching equipment and the flavoring equipment cannot achieve automatic material transportation. The blanched hickory nuts need to be manually put back into the flavoring tank for further processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated machine for blanching and flavoring pecans, which solves the problem that the blanching and flavoring equipment for pecans in the prior art cannot achieve automatic material transportation.

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a pecan blanching and flavoring integrated machine, comprising:

[0006] The feeding hopper is used to feed the de-astringency treated hickory nuts;

[0007] A heating chamber, located below the feeding chamber, is used for the initial heating of the hickory nuts;

[0008] A flavoring component is disposed on one side of the heating chamber, and the flavoring component is filled with a broth for soaking and flavoring.

[0009] A transition chamber is located on one side of the heating chamber, and its inner cavity is connected to the inner cavity of the heating chamber.

[0010] The feeding assembly is located between the heating chamber and the feeding chamber, and is used to push the pecans falling from the feeding chamber into the transition chamber;

[0011] The feeding assembly includes a receiving groove, a push plate that can slide back and forth is provided on one side of the receiving groove, and a feeding port that is connected to the transition chamber on the other side. The pecans falling from the feeding chamber fall into the receiving groove and are pushed into the feeding port by the push plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the processing of hickory nuts for blanching and flavoring can be integrated, greatly saving labor costs. Only one operator is needed to handle loading and unloading for a single machine. After blanching, the hickory nuts can be directly conveyed to the flavoring component for flavoring, improving the efficiency of hickory nut processing. The loading speed of the hickory nuts can be controlled through the loading component, thereby achieving automated processing of hickory nut blanching and flavoring.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross-section of the feeding hopper is triangular, it is inverted and positioned above the heating chamber, and has an opening at the bottom.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, materials can fall naturally under the action of gravity, avoiding the accumulation of materials in the warehouse or the formation of dead corners, thereby ensuring the continuity and uniformity of material flow.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: the push plate includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate, the vertical plate is used to push the hickory nuts, and the horizontal plate is used to close the opening of the feeding bin.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding time of hickory nuts can be controlled by adjusting the position of the push plate. When the push plate pushes the hickory nuts in the receiving trough into the feeding port, the horizontal plate blocks the opening of the upper feeding hopper, stopping the feeding hopper from conveying hickory nuts into the receiving trough. By controlling the timing of the feeding hopper opening by the horizontal plate, after a certain number of hickory nuts have accumulated in the receiving trough, the push plate pushes the hickory nuts to the feeding port, and at the same time, the horizontal plate on the push plate blocks the opening of the feeding hopper, thereby effectively controlling the feeding speed of hickory nuts.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: a shell is provided on the receiving groove at the material inlet position above the transition chamber, and the side of the shell opposite to the push plate is open, and the push plate closes the opening of the shell after being pushed to the farthest end.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the transition chamber can be sealed off, reducing the feeding speed within it. Through the coordinated arrangement of the vertical plate on the push plate and the outer shell, when the push plate is pushed to its furthest point, the vertical plate blocks the only opening on the outer shell, thus sealing the discharge port above the transition chamber.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: the bottom surface of the transition chamber is an inclined surface, the bottom of the inclined surface is provided with a discharge port for connecting the heating chamber, a lifting cavity is provided below the discharge port, and a lifting baffle is provided inside the lifting cavity.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding time of pecans in the transition chamber can be controlled by controlling the lifting baffle. The transition chamber is connected to the heating chamber through the discharge port, so that the staff does not need to carry out secondary handling and can realize automated feeding.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that a side ladder is provided on one side of the heating chamber.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the side ladder provides operators with a convenient passage, enabling them to easily reach various parts of the heating chamber for daily operation, inspection, cleaning and maintenance.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: a sliding groove is provided on the inner walls of both sides of the receiving groove, an air cavity is provided on the other side of the sliding groove, a push rod is provided in the sliding groove that moves synchronously with the push plate, the other end of the push rod slides in the air cavity, the air cavity is connected to an outer tube, and the other end of the outer tube communicates with the lifting cavity.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting baffle can rise and fall with the movement of the push plate. When the push plate pushes the hickory nuts to the lower feed inlet, the push rod, which moves synchronously with the push plate, pushes the gas in the compressed air chamber. This compresses the gas inside the lifting chamber connected to the compressed air chamber, thereby lifting the lifting baffle located in the lifting chamber and sealing the discharge port. This allows the discharge port to automatically close during the process of the hickory nuts entering the transition chamber, preventing the hickory nuts that have just entered the transition chamber from directly entering the heating chamber along the inclined surface.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it enables the integrated processing of hickory nuts for blanching and flavoring, greatly saving labor costs. A single operator is required for loading and unloading the nuts. After blanching, the nuts are directly conveyed to the flavoring component for flavoring, improving the efficiency of hickory nut processing. The feeding component allows for control of the feeding speed, thus achieving automated processing of hickory nut blanching and flavoring. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To facilitate a clear understanding of the technical means, creative features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 As shown, the pecan blanching and flavoring integrated machine includes: feeding chamber 1, flavoring component 8, transition chamber 3, feeding component 4, and side ladder 5 set on the side of the integrated machine.

[0032] Specifically, the heating chamber 2, as the largest housing cavity of the integrated machine, is equipped with a reciprocating transmission platform. The walnuts that enter the heating chamber 2 through the transition chamber 3 move and are heated on the reciprocating platform. The entire heating chamber 2 is fixed to the ground by multiple support rods. Above the heating chamber 2, the feeding chamber 1 with a triangular cross-section is installed upside down. The transition chamber 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the heating chamber 2. The feeding component 4 is set between the heating chamber 2 and the feeding chamber 1 as a conveying component, used to transport the walnuts in the feeding chamber 1 to the transition chamber 3 in a timed and quantitative manner.

[0033] The feeding assembly 4 includes a receiving groove 401. A push plate 402 that can slide back and forth is provided on one side of the receiving groove 401, and a feeding port 403 that is connected to the transition chamber 3 is provided on the other side. The walnuts falling from the feeding chamber 1 fall into the receiving groove 401 and are pushed into the feeding port 403 by the push plate 402.

[0034] The entire integrated machine operates in three stages: feeding, heating and blanching, and flavoring. First, the staff pours the high-quality hickory nuts after the astringency removal and sorting into the feeding hopper 1. The hickory nuts enter the receiving trough 401 through the opening at the bottom of the feeding hopper 1. The push plate 402 pushes the hickory nuts in the receiving trough 401 to fall from the feeding port 403 into the transition hopper 3. The transition hopper 3 is equipped with a rotating cleaning brush (not shown). After being washed in the transition hopper 3, the hickory nuts enter the heating hopper 2 for heating. The heated hickory nuts then enter the flavoring component 8 for soaking and flavoring, and finally the finished hickory nuts are obtained.

[0035] The feeding component 4 allows for timed and quantitative control of the number of hickory nuts collected in the receiving trough 401 and pushed into the feeding port 403, thereby achieving automated processing of hickory nuts. It enables integrated processing of the hickory nut blanching and flavoring processes, significantly reducing labor costs. Only one operator is needed to complete the loading and unloading of each machine. After blanching, the hickory nuts are directly conveyed to the flavoring component 8 for flavoring, improving the efficiency of hickory nut processing.

[0036] Specifically, the push plate 402 includes a vertical plate 4022 and a horizontal plate 4021. The vertical plate 4022 is used to push the walnuts, and the horizontal plate 4021 is used to close the opening of the feeding bin 1. A telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to the back of the vertical plate 4022, and the other end of the telescopic shaft is connected to the driver 7. In this embodiment, the driver 7 is specifically an electric cylinder. The driver 7 controls the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the push plate 402 in the receiving groove 401. In its initial state, the push plate 402 is furthest from the driver 7. By controlling the movement of the push plate 402 within the receiving groove 401, when it is necessary to convey pecans into the transition chamber 3, the push plate 402 is moved towards the driver 7, and the telescopic rod retracts. When the vertical plate 4022 passes the lower opening of the discharge chamber 1, the opening opens, and the pecans in the discharge chamber 1 fall into the receiving groove 401. After a certain number of pecans accumulate in the receiving groove 401, the push plate 402 is moved away from the driver 7. The movement pushes the pecans accumulated in the receiving trough 401 into the feeding port 403. At the same time, the opening below the feeding bin 1 is blocked by the horizontal plate 4021. The pecans entering the transition bin 3 are washed and then transported to the heating bin 2 for heating and blanching. After heating, the pecans are transported to the flavoring component 8 for soaking and flavoring. At the same time, the opening of the feeding bin 1 is reopened to transport pecans into the receiving trough 401. By repeating the above steps, the blanching and flavoring of pecans are carried out simultaneously, which improves the processing efficiency of pecans.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a housing 404 is provided on the receiving groove 401 at the discharge port 403 above the transition chamber 3. The housing 404 has an opening on one side opposite the push plate 402. When the push plate 402 is pushed to its furthest point, it closes the opening of the housing 404. This seals the transition chamber 3, preventing walnuts from flying out during the washing process. Through the cooperation of the vertical plate 4022 on the push plate 402 and the housing 404, when the push plate 402 is pushed to its furthest point, the vertical plate 4022 blocks the only opening on the housing 404, thus sealing the discharge port 403 above the transition chamber 3.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, the bottom surface of the transition chamber 3 is an inclined surface 301. A discharge port 302 for connecting to the heating chamber 2 is provided at the bottom of the inclined surface 301. A lifting cavity 303 is provided below the discharge port 302, and a lifting baffle 304 is provided inside the lifting cavity 303. Connecting the transition chamber 3 to the heating chamber 2 via the discharge port 302 allows the cooked walnuts to be directly transported to the flavoring component 8 for flavoring without the need for secondary handling by the workers.

[0039] Furthermore, the inner walls of both sides of the receiving groove 401 are provided with sliding grooves 405, and the other side of the sliding groove 405 is provided with an air cavity 406. A push rod 407 that moves synchronously with the push plate 402 is provided in the sliding groove 405. The other end of the push rod 407 slides in the air cavity 406. The air cavity 406 is connected to an outer pipe 6, and the other end of the outer pipe 6 is connected to the lifting cavity 303. The movement of the push plate 402 can drive the lifting plate to rise and fall synchronously. When the push plate 402 pushes the hickory nuts into the transition chamber 3, the lifting plate can automatically rise to prevent the hickory nuts that have been in the transition chamber 3 for a short time from immediately entering the heating chamber 2 through the discharge port 302, so that the hickory nuts can be thoroughly washed before heating and blanching.

[0040] Specifically, when the push plate 402 moves away from the driver 7, it drives the push rod 407 towards the air chamber 406. The end of the push rod 407 fits tightly against the inner wall of the air chamber 406, compressing the air in the air chamber 406. The air chamber 406 is connected to the lifting chamber 303 through the outer pipe 6, thus ensuring that the air pressure in the air chamber 406 is consistent with the air pressure in the lifting chamber 303. The compression of the air in the air chamber 406 causes an increase in air pressure, and the air pressure in the lifting chamber 303, which is connected to the air chamber 406, increases synchronously, thereby pushing the lifting plate upward and blocking the discharge port 302. Conversely, when the push plate 402 moves towards the driver 7, it drives the push rod 407 out of the air chamber 406, increasing the volume in the air chamber 406 and restoring the air pressure to normal. The air pressure in the lifting chamber 303 also returns to normal, causing the lifting plate to fall back to the bottom of the lifting chamber 303 under gravity, opening the discharge port 302.

[0041] The synchronous movement of the lifting baffle 304 and the push plate 402 enables the discharge port 302 to be automatically closed during the process of the hickory nuts entering the transition chamber 3.

[0042] Furthermore, a discharge port for discharging material is provided below the lifting chamber 303. The external opening of the discharge port is connected to the pouring slope 9. The flavoring component 8 is set on one side of the pouring slope 9. After being boiled and blanched at high temperature, the walnuts fall from the pouring slope 9 and enter the flavoring component 8 for flavoring.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
