Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coffee fruit processing technology, and in particular to a modern agricultural coffee fruit degumming and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern agricultural coffee cherry processing, degumming and cleaning are crucial steps determining coffee quality and production efficiency. Currently, most traditional coffee cherry degumming and cleaning technologies employ water flow filtration. This involves using a water pump to continuously flush the coffee cherries, using the impact of the water flow to peel off the pectin adhering to the surface. The cherries are then filtered through a screen to separate the pectin from the cherries. However, this traditional technology has significant limitations. First, relying solely on water flow results in low efficiency in separating the pectin from the cherries, especially when processing large quantities of cherries, requiring considerable time and failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. Second, the water flow process consumes a huge amount of water, which is difficult to recycle, leading to severe resource waste. Third, some stubborn pectin cannot be completely removed by water flow, resulting in inconsistent coffee quality after processing. Fourth, traditional equipment lacks effective stirring assistance, leading to random movement of the cherries in the water flow, creating cleaning dead zones and reducing the overall cleaning effect.
[0003] Meanwhile, the washing method that relies heavily on water flow increases the maintenance cost of the equipment and the intensity of manual operation. To address this, a new type of coffee fruit degumming and washing equipment was designed. By adding a stirring and washing mechanism, the pectin is removed from the fresh fruit during a controllable rotation process. The flow guiding and filtration system is optimized to improve the pectin separation efficiency, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of traditional technology. Utility Model Content

The gear ring 605 is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank 601, and the gear ring 605 is meshed with the gear 604 on the output shaft of the first drive motor 603. A third fixed frame 608 is installed on one side of the first fixed frame 1, and a water tank 609 is installed on the support seat on the third fixed frame 608. The upper part of the water tank 609 is connected to the spray pipe inside the cleaning tank 601 through a water pump 610 and a water pipe 611.
[0022] It should be noted that a cleaning mechanism 6 is installed inside the first fixed frame 1, which can rinse the fresh coffee fruit and separate the pectin and pit. The cleaning tank 601 is mounted on the first fixed frame 1 via a connecting ring 602, and a bearing is installed between the two, allowing the entire cleaning tank 601 to rotate. A toothed ring 605 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 601, which meshes with a gear 604 on the output shaft of the first drive motor 603.

[0023] It should be further explained that a third fixed frame 608 is provided on one side of the first fixed frame 1, and a water tank 609 is provided on the upper part of the third fixed frame 608. It is connected to the spray pipe through a water pump 610 and a water pipe 611, and spraying and rinsing are carried out during agitation to improve the separation efficiency.
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes a stirring mechanism 8, which includes a connecting plate 801, a stirring bracket 805, a first sprocket 802, a second sprocket 804, and a transmission chain 803. The connecting plate 801 is disposed on the top of the first fixed frame 1, and the stirring bracket 805 is disposed on the connecting plate 801 and extends into the cavity of the cleaning tank 601. The first sprocket 802 is disposed at one end of the stirring bracket 805, and the first sprocket 802 is connected to the second sprocket 804 on the other end of the output shaft 607 of the first drive motor 603 through the transmission chain 803 to form a transmission structure.
[0025] It should be noted that the stirring mechanism 8 is designed to improve the stirring effect during the rotation and agitation of the cleaning tank 601. The connecting plate 801 is located on the upper part of the first fixed frame 1, and the stirring bracket 805 is installed inside the connecting plate 801. One end of the bracket is connected to the output shaft 607 of the other end of the first drive motor 603 via a transmission chain 803, forming another transmission structure that can rotate the entire stirring bracket 805 during the rotation process.

[0032] It should be noted that a discharge port 9 is provided on the upper side of the feed trough 3, and a first filter plate 10 is installed at the corresponding position. After the fresh fruit is stirred, it enters the feed trough 3 and flows naturally under the action of gravity. The first filter plate 10 uses the pore size to separate pectin from fruit pits. Soft pectin can pass through the pores of the filter plate, while larger fruit pits are intercepted and collected on the surface of the first filter plate 10. An openable and closable isolation plate 11 is provided at the discharge port 9. When the fruit pits accumulate to a certain amount, the isolation plate 11 can be opened to quickly discharge the screened fruit pits. This design effectively avoids the accumulation and blockage of fruit pits and ensures the continuity and efficiency of the separation process.
