Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shell-breaking devices, specifically relating to a nut shell-breaking device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern society, nuts are gaining popularity due to their rich nutritional content and delicious taste. However, nuts have a hard outer shell, making them difficult for consumers to eat directly. They generally need to be cracked open at processing plants to make them easier for consumers to consume.
[0003] In existing technology, nuts are uniformly placed into a shelling device for processing. However, when processing nuts of different sizes, larger nuts are easily damaged along with their shells during the shelling process. If the diameter of the shelling device is adjusted, smaller nuts are difficult to shell completely, which affects the final product quality and reduces the consumer experience. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] See Figure 1-2 A nut shelling device includes a frame 1, a sieving device 2, a shelling device 3, and a collecting device 4. The sieving device 2 is installed above the frame 1, and the shelling device 3 is installed on the frame 1 with its inlet located below the sieving device 2. The collecting device 4 is installed at the bottom of the frame 1 with its inlet located at the bottom of the shelling device 3. The sieving device 2 separates nuts according to their different particle sizes. After sieving, the nuts fall into the shelling device 3 below. After being shelled according to their different particle sizes, the collecting device 4 collects the nuts of different sizes.
[0018] See Figure 1-2 The screening device 2 includes a feed hopper 21, a screening cage 22, and a rotating roller 23. The feed hopper 21 is installed on the top of the frame 1. The screening cage 22 is a funnel shape with screening grooves on the side. The side of the screening cage 22 with the smaller opening is connected to the outlet of the feed hopper 21. The rotating roller 23 is mounted on the frame 1 and is coaxially installed with the screening cage 22 through a bracket. The feed hopper 21 feeds nuts into the screening cage 22. The screening cage 22 screens the nuts according to their particle size. The rotating roller 23 drives the screening cage 22 to rotate and screen the nuts.
[0019] See Figure 1-2 The shell-breaking device 3 includes a diversion hopper 31, a shell-breaking roller 32, and an extrusion wall 33. The diversion hopper 31 is connected below the screening cage 22. The shell-breaking roller 32 is installed at the bottom outlet of the diversion hopper 31. The arc surface of the extrusion wall 33 is coaxially installed with the shell-breaking roller 32. The arc surface is provided with shell-breaking teeth. The bottom of the extrusion wall 33 is provided with a converging baffle 34. The diversion hopper 31 diverts the nuts screened according to their particle size into the shell-breaking roller 32 below. The shell-breaking roller 32 rotates and cooperates with the extrusion wall 33 to break the shells of the nuts. The broken nuts are collected by the converging baffle 34 and enter the collection device below.
[0020] See Figure 1-2 The collecting device 4 includes a diversion sieve plate 41, an air duct 42, and a collecting trough 43. The diversion sieve plate 41 is located below the converging baffle 34, the air outlet of the air duct 42 is located below the diversion sieve plate 41, and the collecting trough 43 is placed at the bottom of the diversion sieve plate 41. After the shelled nuts pass through the diversion sieve plate 41, they fall downwards. The air duct 42 blows the shells away, and the kernels fall downwards into the collecting trough 43.
[0021] See Figure 1-2 The shell-breaking roller 32 is equipped with a hammer 321, and a cleaning brush 322 is installed in the hammer 321. The hammer 321 squeezes the nuts onto the extrusion wall 33 to break the walls, and the cleaning brush 322 cleans the nuts stuck on the extrusion wall 33 and makes them fall below.
[0022] See Figure 1-2 The shell-breaking roller 32 and the extrusion wall 33 are equipped with a diversion wall 35 according to the screening grade of the screening cage 22. The diversion wall 35 prevents the nuts screened by the screening cage 22 from being mixed again.
[0023] According to the above embodiments, the working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0024] Nuts are fed into the screening cage 22 of the screening device 2 through the feed hopper 21. The screening cage 22 has screening grooves on its side, which are funnel-shaped, with the smaller opening connected to the outlet of the feed hopper 21. The rotating roller 23 drives the screening cage 22 to rotate, separating the nuts according to different particle sizes. The sieved nuts fall into the shelling device 3 below. In the shelling device 3, the diversion hopper 31 collects the nuts falling from the screening cage 22 and diverts them into the shelling roller 32. A diversion wall 35 is provided between the shelling roller 32 and the extrusion wall 33 according to the screening grade of the screening cage 22 to prevent the sieved nuts from mixing again. A hammer 321 is provided on the shelling roller 32, and a cleaning brush 322 is also installed in the hammer 321. As the shelling roller 32 rotates, it cooperates with the extrusion wall 33 to crush the nuts. The extrusion wall 33 has shelling teeth on its curved surface and a converging baffle 34 at its bottom. The cracked nuts are collected by the confluence baffle 34 and enter the collection device 4 below. In the collection device 4, the cracked nuts fall downwards after passing through the diversion sieve 41. The air outlet of the air duct 42 is located below the diversion sieve 41, blowing away the shells, while the kernels fall downwards into the collection trough 43.
