Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water chestnut processing technology, and in particular to a water chestnut peeling device. Background Technology
[0002] Euryale ferox is an important crop used for both medicinal and culinary purposes. Its hard outer shell needs to be removed before it can be eaten or processed. Traditional shelling methods mainly rely on manual labor. Operators need to place the euryale ferox seeds one by one into the cutting groove, and then peel them mechanically or manually. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive. For example, a Chinese patent discloses a "euryale ferox shelling device" with the application number "202020718962.1". This device has multiple placement holes on the cutting base, and fixed blades are fixed at the bottom of the placement holes to clamp and position the euryale ferox seeds to prevent them from shaking and to peel them in batches. However, when using it, the operator needs to place the euryale ferox seeds one by one into the placement holes, which is inefficient. In addition, manual feeding is prone to uneven feeding and missed feeding, which further affects efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0020] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 This utility model provides a water chestnut shelling device, which includes: a base plate 5. Considering the need to shake the material box 1 so that the material in the material box 1 can flow out smoothly, a flexible support component is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 5. The upper end of the flexible support component is connected to the material box 1, and a door panel 3 is slidably connected to the front surface of the material box 1.
[0022] Considering the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity caused by the traditional method of manually feeding each gorgon fruit for shelling, a diversion component is provided on the inner surface of the material box 1. The diversion component includes: multiple diversion plates 13 and multiple diversion pipes 6. The multiple diversion plates 13 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the material box 1, and a guide channel is formed between every two diversion plates 13. The multiple diversion pipes 6 are fixedly connected to the front surface of the material box 1, and the diversion pipes 6 are located directly in front of the guide channel. The cutting cylinder 7 is located directly in front of the diversion pipes 6. The diversion plates 13 form a guide channel to evenly distribute the gorgon fruit to the multiple diversion pipes 6, so as to achieve precise feeding.
[0023] Considering the need for precise cutting of the water chestnut shell, a cutting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 5. Multiple cutting cylinders 7 are installed on the cutting frame 8. The cutting cylinders 7 are located below the diversion component. Cutting blades 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cutting cylinders 7. The water chestnuts transported by the diversion pipe fall into the cutting cylinders. Under the continuous pushing of the top material component, the shells are cut open by the fixed cutting blades 11.
[0024] In summary, the improvement of this embodiment lies in:
[0025] The diversion components (multiple diversion plates 13 and diversion pipes 6) can evenly distribute the water chestnuts in the material box 1 and accurately feed them into each cutting cylinder 7. There is no need for manual feeding of each grain, which greatly reduces manual intervention and improves feeding efficiency. Compared with traditional devices that require manual feeding of each grain into the cutting slot, it can significantly improve the processing speed and is suitable for large-scale production.
[0026] Based on the above, other structures also need to be disclosed in detail, such as:
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3Considering the need for external force to push the water chestnut to the cutting blade position for cutting, a top material assembly is movably connected inside the cutting cylinder 7. The top material assembly includes: multiple top rods 9, a through groove 10, and a connecting frame 4. The multiple top rods 9 are movably connected inside the cutting cylinder 7. The through groove 10 is set on the top rod 9 and is movably connected to the cutting blade 11. The connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the multiple top rods 9. The water chestnut is pushed downward by the top rods 9, so that the water chestnut is close to the cutting blade. Under continuous external force, the water chestnut will pass through the cutting blade 11 and be cut open.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 Considering the issue of discharging the water chestnuts after they have been cut open, a discharge port 12 is provided on the side of the cutting cylinder 7. The discharge port 12 is located below the cutting blade 11, and the cut water chestnuts are discharged through the cutting cylinder 7 to the discharge port 12.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The flexible support assembly includes: multiple support rods 2 and springs 16. The multiple support rods 2 are fixedly connected to two opposite surfaces of the material box 1 and the base plate 5, respectively. The springs 16 are fixedly connected between every two support rods 2. The flexible support assembly also includes: a sliding rod 15 and a sliding groove 14. The sliding rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rod 2 located above the base plate 5. The sliding groove 14 is set on the support rod 2 located below the material box 1. The sliding rod 15 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 14. (The structure of spring 16 + sliding rod 15 + sliding groove 14) allows the material box 1 to be manually shaken. By slightly shaking, the water chestnuts can be promoted to enter the diversion assembly from the material box 1 without relying on gravity to fall freely, thus avoiding the problem of material jamming.
[0030] Working principle: First, the water chestnuts to be shelled are poured into the material box 1. Due to the presence of the flexible support component (composed of support rod 2, spring 16, slide rod 15 and slide groove 14), the operator can manually shake the material box 1. The spring 16 provides buffer support, and the slide rod 15 slides in the slide groove 14, so that the material box 1 can shake flexibly within a certain range, promoting the smooth flow of water chestnuts from the material box 1 to the diversion component.
[0031] The water chestnuts entering the material box 1 are evenly distributed through the guide channels formed by multiple diversion plates 13, and then directionally conveyed to the cutting cylinder 7 below through the corresponding diversion pipes 6;
[0032] After the water chestnuts conveyed by the diversion pipe 6 fall into the cutting cylinder 7, the multiple push rods 9 of the top material assembly push the water chestnuts downward under manual drive. The through grooves 10 on the push rods 9 ensure that they do not interfere with the cutting blade 11, so that the water chestnuts continue to approach the fixed cutting blade 11.
[0033] With the continuous pushing of the top material component, the water chestnut is precisely cut open by the cutting blade 11, completing the shelling process;
[0034] The cut water chestnut kernels continue to fall to the discharge port 12 set on the side of the cutting cylinder 7, and are finally discharged from the discharge port 12 to enter the subsequent collection stage.
[0035] In addition, the door panel 3, which is slidably connected to the front surface of the material box 1, can be closed at any time, making it easy to seal the material box 1. The entire process realizes continuous operation from feeding, diverting, pushing, cutting to discharging, which significantly improves the shelling efficiency and reduces the need for manual intervention.
[0036] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
