[0032] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0033] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments:

[0034] Examples, as shown in the appendix to the instruction manual. Figures 1-9 As shown, a strawberry seed extraction device includes an outer barrel 1 and a filter barrel 2, and also includes a lifting mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a seed extraction mechanism and a cleaning mechanism. The filter barrel 2 is rotatably disposed inside the outer barrel 1.

[0035] The lifting mechanism includes a cover 3, a lifting component and a guide component. The cover 3 is located above the filter tank 2, the lifting component is located on one side of the outer tank 1, and the guide component is located on the other side of the outer tank 1.

[0036] The rotating mechanism includes a conical rotating plate 4 and a rotating assembly. The conical rotating plate 4 is disposed between the outer barrel 1 and the filter barrel 2, and the rotating assembly is disposed between the outer barrel 1 and the conical rotating plate 4.

[0037] The seed-collecting mechanism includes a drive assembly and multiple grinding rollers 5. The drive assembly is located below the cover 3, and the multiple grinding rollers 5 are all fixedly mounted on the drive assembly.

[0038] The cleaning mechanism includes a spraying assembly and multiple nozzles 28. The spraying assembly is mounted on the cover 3, and the multiple nozzles 28 are all fixedly mounted on the spraying assembly.

[0039] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a first motor 6, a first gear 7, a gear ring 8, and a U-shaped frame 9. The U-shaped frame 9 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the outer barrel 1. The first motor 6 is inserted into the U-shaped frame 9. The first gear 7 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor 6. The gear ring 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the conical rotating plate 4, and the gear ring 8 is meshed with the first gear 7.

[0040] This device is equipped with a controller, and all electrical components on the device are electrically connected to the controller. When it is necessary to extract seeds from strawberries, the controller first activates the lifting and guiding components, which in turn moves the cap 3 upwards. The cap 3 then moves the sealing plate 19 upwards, causing both the sealing plate 19 and the cap 3 to rise together, moving away from the filter bucket 2. This opens the open end of the filter bucket 2, making it easier to place strawberries inside. After the strawberries are placed inside, the lifting and guiding components move the cap 3 downwards, sealing the open end of the filter bucket 2 to prevent strawberries from being thrown out during the rotation of the filter bucket 2. After sealing, the controller activates the first motor 6, which in turn drives the first gear 7 to rotate. A gear 7 drives a gear ring 8 to rotate, which in turn drives a conical rotating plate 4 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the filter barrel 2 to rotate inside the outer barrel 1. The rotation of the filter barrel 2 causes the strawberries inside to rotate, resulting in the strawberries inside the filter barrel 2 contacting and colliding with several protrusions designed on multiple grinding rollers 5. This causes the strawberry seeds on the surface of the strawberries to fall off. The fallen strawberry seeds are then pushed out of the filter barrel 2 by the cleaning mechanism and enter the conical rotating plate 4 below. Finally, the strawberry seeds are discharged by the conical rotating plate 4, thus removing the strawberry seeds. It should be noted that each grinding roller 5 and the protrusions on its outer wall are made of silicone material to ensure that the protrusions can contact and rub against the surface of the strawberry, so as to remove the seeds without crushing the strawberry.

[0041] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a first support plate 10, a cylinder 11, and a first connecting plate 12. The first support plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the outer barrel 1, the cylinder 11 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first support plate 10, and the first connecting plate 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the cover 3, with one end of the first connecting plate 12 fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 11.

[0042] When it is necessary to pour strawberries into the filter bucket 2, the cylinder 11 is extended or retracted, which drives the first connecting plate 12 to rise, thereby driving the cover 3 to rise, making it convenient to pour strawberries into the filter bucket 2. When it is necessary to remove the seeds from the strawberries, the controller drives the output end of the cylinder 11 to retract, thereby driving the first connecting plate 12 to fall, thereby driving the cover 3 to fall, sealing the filter bucket 2, and preventing strawberry seeds from flying out when the filter bucket 2 rotates during the seed removal process.

[0043] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9As shown, the guide assembly includes a second support plate 13, a guide rod 14, a second connecting plate 15, a sliding bearing 16, and a limiting block 17. The second support plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the outer barrel 1, the guide rod 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second support plate 13, the limiting block 17 is fixedly mounted on the top of the guide rod 14, the second connecting plate 15 is fixedly mounted on the top of the cover 3, and the sliding bearing 16 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second connecting plate 15 away from the cover 3, and the guide rod 14 is inserted into the sliding bearing 16.

[0044] When the first connecting plate 12 drives the cover 3 to rise, it will simultaneously drive the second connecting plate 15 to rise. The second connecting plate 15 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 14 through the sliding bearing 16, thereby guiding the lifting and lowering of the second connecting plate 15 through the guide rod 14, reducing the sliding friction between the second connecting plate 15 and the guide rod 14 when the cover 3 rises, preventing the cover 3 from shifting during lifting and lowering, and ensuring the vertical lifting and lowering effect of the cover 3.

[0045] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9 As shown, the drive assembly includes a second motor 18, a sealing plate 19, a second gear 20, multiple third gears 21, and multiple drive shafts 22. The sealing plate 19 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the sealing cover 3, the second motor 18 is fixedly disposed at the top of the sealing cover 3, the second gear 20 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the second motor 18, each third gear 21 is rotatably disposed at the top of the sealing plate 19 through a hinge shaft, and each third gear 21 is meshed with the second gear 20, each drive shaft 22 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of a hinge shaft, and each grinding roller 5 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of a drive shaft 22.

[0046] While the filter bucket 2 rotates with the strawberries, the controller starts the second motor 18, which in turn drives the second gear 20 to rotate. Since each third gear 21 meshes with the second gear 20, the second gear 20 drives the three third gears 21 to rotate synchronously. The third gears 21 then drive multiple drive shafts 22 to rotate, which in turn drive multiple grinding rollers 5 to rotate synchronously. As the filter bucket 2 rotates, the strawberries inside move to the inner edge of the filter bucket 2 under the action of centrifugal force. At this time, the protrusions on the surface of the rotating grinding rollers 5, which are designed on the inner edge of the filter bucket 2, make uniform contact with the strawberries inside the filter bucket 2. Using the friction generated when the two come into contact, the seeds on the surface of the strawberries are rubbed off. The rubbed seeds are then carried out by the impact of water through several filter holes designed on the surface of the filter bucket 2 and flow into the interior of the conical rotating plate 4, and then fall into the interior of the filter screen below, thus achieving collection and obtaining the strawberry seeds.

[0047] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9As shown, the spraying assembly includes a water tank 23, a hose 24, a water pump 25, a connecting pipe 26, and multiple delivery pipes 27. The water tank 23 is located beside the outer tank 1. The water pump 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover 3. Each delivery pipe 27 is fixedly installed on the cover 3. The connecting pipe 26 is fixedly installed between the tops of the multiple delivery pipes 27. The hose 24 is fixedly installed between the water tank 23 and the input end of the water pump 25. The connecting pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 25. One end of each delivery pipe 27 is connected to the connecting pipe 26. Each nozzle 28 is fixedly connected to the other end of a delivery pipe 27.

[0048] While multiple grinding rollers 5 rotate and scrape off strawberry seeds, the controller starts the water pump 25, which draws water from the water tank 23 and transports it to the connecting pipe 26. The water is then evenly distributed to multiple connecting pipes 26 and finally sprayed evenly from multiple nozzles 28. The sprayed water washes away the strawberry seeds that are stuck to the grinding rollers 5 and the protrusions. The washed-off strawberry seeds, along with the water, flow out through several filter holes designed on the surface of the filter bucket 2 into the interior of the conical rotating plate 4, thus achieving the discharge of strawberry seeds.

[0049] As per the instruction manual Figures 1-9 As shown, multiple positioning blocks 29 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the filter bucket 2, and multiple positioning grooves 30 are installed on the top of the conical rotating plate 4. Each positioning block 29 is engaged with a positioning groove 30.

[0050] The filter bucket 2 is connected and fixed to the conical rotating plate 4 by multiple positioning blocks 29 designed at the bottom and then engaging multiple positioning slots 30 designed at the top of the conical rotating plate 4. When the conical rotating plate 4 rotates, it will drive the multiple positioning slots 30 to rotate simultaneously. The multiple positioning slots 30 drive the multiple positioning blocks 29 to rotate, thereby driving the filter bucket 2 to rotate, so that the strawberries inside the filter bucket 2 can shake and make it easier to effectively contact the multiple grinding rollers 5 that are rotating at the same time.
