Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dehulling Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, and in particular to a dehulling and collecting device for processing Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. Background Technology

[0002] Trichosanthes kirilowii, a perennial dioecious vine belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, is a major Chinese medicinal herb used both as food and medicine. It has a long history of application and high medicinal value, enjoying a renowned reputation both domestically and internationally. Besides its high medicinal value, Trichosanthes kirilowii also possesses significant nutritional and health benefits; its pericarp, kernels, and roots are all used medicinally. Regular consumption of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds is particularly beneficial for protecting the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, inhibiting cancer cells, treating diabetes, managing hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, as well as enhancing the body's immune function and regulating endocrine function. As people's understanding of Trichosanthes kirilowii deepens, its value is increasingly recognized, leading to a significant increase in demand for its seeds for both culinary and medicinal purposes.

[0003] Before consumption or processing, Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds must be shelled to remove the kernels. Currently, existing devices for shelling and extracting kernels from Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds primarily involve crushing the seeds with a grinding shaft and then using a fan to blow away the crushed shells. However, this method results in excessive crushing of the seeds, causing the kernels to break as well. Smaller kernels are blown away along with the shells by the fan, reducing the overall kernel collection and increasing costs. To address these issues, this application provides a shelling and collection device for processing Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Before consumption or processing, the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii must be shelled to remove the kernels. Current devices for shelling and extracting kernels primarily involve crushing the seeds with a grinding shaft and then using a fan to blow away the crushed shells. However, this method results in excessive crushing of the seeds, causing the kernels to break as well. Smaller kernels are often blown away along with the shells by the fan, reducing the overall kernel collection and increasing costs. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a shelling and collecting device for processing Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, solving the technical problem of seed waste during shelling. The device includes a shelling frame 1 as a supporting base, a roller milling mechanism 3 for crushing the seeds on the frame 1, and a translation roller milling mechanism 2 for horizontally moving the roller milling mechanism 3 at the top of the frame 1. The seeds are crushed by the roller milling mechanism 3, and the translation roller milling mechanism 2 drives the roller milling mechanism 3 to move horizontally.

[0034] Existing trichosanthes seed shelling equipment can damage the kernels during shelling, resulting in a reduced total amount of kernels collected and wasting costs. To address this issue, a roller milling mechanism 3 is proposed. The roller milling mechanism 3 includes limiting slides 31 slidably connected to both sides of the shelling frame 1. Each limiting slide 31 has a mating gear 32 fixedly connected to its opposite end. A pressing roller 33 is fixedly connected between the two mating gears 32. Several shrinkage grooves 34 are equidistantly arranged around the outer side of the pressing roller 33. A pressing seat 36 is slidably connected to the inner side of the shrinkage grooves 34. A return spring 35 connects the pressing seat 36 and the shrinkage grooves 34.

[0035] To increase the rolling range of the roller milling mechanism 3, the translation roller milling mechanism 2 includes a translation motor 21 mounted on one side of the shelling frame 1 via a base. Translation grooves 22 are provided on the upper sides of both sides of the shelling frame 1. Both ends of the inner side of the shelling frame 1 are connected to a transmission toothed belt 23 via a rotating shaft. A limiting slide block 31 is slidably connected to the inner side of the translation groove 22. The transmission end of the translation motor 21 is connected to the inner rotating shaft end of the adjacent transmission toothed belt 23. The transmission toothed belt 23 meshes with the adjacent mating gear 32.

[0036] The transmission belt 23 is driven to rotate by the translation motor 21. During this process, the transmission belt 23 drives the meshing gear 32 to move on its outer side. During this process, the limiting slide block 31 connected to the end of the meshing gear 32 moves inside the translation slide groove 22. As the meshing gear 32 rotates, the crushing roller 33 connected to it rolls. During this process, the crushing roller 33 crushes the melon seeds below it. During this process, the crushing seat 36 on the crushing roller 33 first contacts the top surface of the melon seed. After the crushing seat 36 contacts the surface of the melon seed, it retracts into the shrinkage slide groove 34, thereby preventing the crushing seat 36 from crushing the melon seed after excessive crushing. The return spring 35 inside the shrinkage slide groove 34 resets the crushing seat 36 after the crushing is completed.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Based on Example 1, which solved the technical problem of kernel waste during the shelling process of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, the problem of difficulty in separating the shell and kernel of Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds still exists. Figures 1-7 As shown, the specific implementation process is as follows: In order to convey unprocessed Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, a conveying mechanism 4 for conveying Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds is provided on the shelling frame 1. The conveying mechanism 4 includes a conveying motor 41 installed on one side of the shelling frame 1 via a motor. A conveyor belt 42 is sleeved on the inner side of the shelling frame 1 via a rotating shaft. An eccentric rod 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft of the conveyor belt 42.

[0039] To separate the kernels from the shells of the crushed Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds, a sieving mechanism 5 for separating the shells and kernels is installed on the inner side of the shelling frame 1 below the conveying mechanism 4. The sieving mechanism 5 includes a transmission groove 51 on both sides of the shelling frame 1. A sieving plate 52 is slidably connected to the inner side of the transmission groove 51. A parallel rod 53 is fixedly connected to one side of the sieving plate 52. Two connecting support seats 54 are fixedly connected to the side of the shelling frame 1 near the parallel rod 53. A sieving return spring 55 is connected between the two connecting support seats 54 and the parallel rod 53.

[0040] To collect the shells and kernels separately, two collection trays 6 are placed below the sieve plate 52, and the bottom end of the eccentric rod 43 is attached to the top end of the parallel rod 53.

[0041] During processing, the conveyor motor 41 drives the conveyor belt 42 to rotate, and the eccentric rod 43 connected to the end of the shaft of the conveyor belt 42 rotates accordingly. The eccentric rod 43 intermittently pushes the parallel rod 53 to move, and the parallel rod 53 drives the screening plate 52 connected to it to move inside the transmission chute 51. After the eccentric rod 43 disengages from the top of the parallel rod 53, the screening reset spring 55 drives the parallel rod 53 connected to it to reset. This cycle repeats, which can shake and separate the sunflower seed shells and kernels conveyed on the conveyor belt 42, thereby achieving screening.
