[0002] In laboratory research related to palm fruit, it is often necessary to remove the palm fruit to facilitate subsequent experiments such as oil extraction.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional mechanical fruit removal methods often involve methods such as knocking, which can cause significant damage to the fruit and easily lead to fruit breakage, thus affecting the accuracy of subsequent experimental results. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible palm fruit removal device for laboratory use, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that traditional mechanical fruit removal methods often use methods such as knocking, which cause significant damage to the fruit and easily lead to fruit breakage, thereby affecting the accuracy of subsequent experimental results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: It includes a frame mechanism comprising a support frame, a long groove, and a buffer groove. A screen mechanism is provided at the bottom of the frame mechanism, comprising an arc-shaped screen, a connecting plate, bolts, a first damping block, and a buffer spring. A fruit-removing mechanism is provided at the top of the screen mechanism, comprising a roller, a drive motor, a groove, rubber protrusions, a high-hardness spiral brush, a medium-hardness spiral brush, a low-hardness spiral brush, a second damping block, and a connecting spring.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the support frame has elongated grooves on both sides of its interior and a buffer groove at its bottom.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the support frame is provided with an arc-shaped screen, both sides of which are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate. The interior of the connecting plate is movably connected to the outer wall of the bolt, and the outer wall of the bolt is movably connected to the inner wall of the elongated groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom sides of the arc-shaped screen are fixedly connected to the top of the first damping block, the bottom of the first damping block is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring, the bottom of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove, and the outer wall of the first damping block is movably connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, one inner wall of the support frame is rotatably connected to one outer wall of the roller via a bearing, and the other end of the roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor via a coupling, and the roller is an eccentric wheel.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the roller has multiple sets of grooves along a spiral path, and the outer wall of the roller is provided with multiple sets of rubber protrusions along a spiral path, with one side of the rubber protrusions being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the roller is movably connected to the inner walls of the high-hardness spiral brush, the medium-hardness spiral brush, and the low-hardness spiral brush, respectively. The inner walls of the high-hardness spiral brush, the medium-hardness spiral brush, and the low-hardness spiral brush are all fixedly connected to one side of the second damping block, and the other side of the second damping block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting spring.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. In this utility model, the fruit cluster is placed towards the high-hardness spiral brush. The drive motor is started to rotate the roller. Through the rotation of the high-hardness, medium-hardness, and low-hardness spiral brushes, the high-hardness spiral brush first contacts the fruit cluster, using strong friction to pry open the fruit at the edge of the cluster. At the same time, the connecting spring is compressed during the contact process, increasing the contact pressure of the brush. Then, the medium-hardness spiral brush continues to peel off the fruit, and then the low-hardness spiral brush gently cleans the remaining fruit. During the rotation, the rubber protrusion contacts the gaps in the fruit cluster, separating the fruit stem from the fruit through a prying action. Then the brush follows up to clean. At the same time, due to the eccentric setting of the roller, a slight longitudinal reciprocating vibration is generated when the roller rotates, which adds a small impact on the basis of friction, increasing the fruit removal effect. At the same time, the gentle fruit removal operation reduces the damage to the fruit.

[0015] 2. In this utility model, when adjusting the distance between the arc-shaped screen and the roller, the nut on the bolt is loosened, and then the bolt moves inside the long groove, thereby driving the connecting plate and the arc-shaped screen to move. After the height adjustment is completed, the nut is tightened, which facilitates the height adjustment of the arc-shaped screen and is suitable for fruit clusters of different sizes. The elastic support of the first damping block and the buffer spring buffers the fruit clusters when they are too large, avoiding hard contact. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution comprising: a frame mechanism 1, which includes a support frame 101, a long groove 102, and a buffer groove 103; a screen mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the frame mechanism 1, which includes an arc-shaped screen 201, a connecting plate 202, bolts 203, a first damping block 204, and a buffer spring 205; and a fruit-removing mechanism 3 is provided at the top of the screen mechanism 2, which includes a roller 301, a drive motor 302, a groove 303, a rubber protrusion 304, a high-hardness spiral brush 305, a medium-hardness spiral brush 306, a low-hardness spiral brush 307, a second damping block 308, and a connecting spring 309.

[0026] In one embodiment, the support frame 101 has elongated grooves 102 on both sides inside, a buffer groove 103 at the bottom, and an arc-shaped screen 201 at the bottom. The arc-shaped screen 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 202 on both sides. The interior of the connecting plate 202 is movably connected to the outer wall of the bolt 203. The outer wall of the bolt 203 is movably connected to the inner wall of the elongated groove 102. The bottom sides of the arc-shaped screen 201 are fixedly connected to the top of the first damping block 204. The bottom of the first damping block 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the buffer spring 205. The bottom of the buffer spring 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 103. The outer wall of the first damping block 204 is movably connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 103.

[0027] Specifically, it facilitates the height adjustment of the arc-shaped screen 201, thus making it suitable for fruit clusters of different sizes. The elastic support of the first damping block 204 and the buffer spring 205 provides buffering when the fruit clusters are too large, avoiding hard contact.

[0028] In one embodiment, the inner wall of one side of the support frame 101 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of one end of the roller 301 via a bearing, and the other end of the roller 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 302 via a coupling, and the roller 301 is an eccentric wheel.

[0029] Specifically: By setting the roller 301 eccentrically, the roller 301 generates a slight longitudinal reciprocating vibration when it rotates, which increases the impact on the basis of friction and improves the fruit removal effect.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the roller 301 has multiple sets of grooves 303 arranged in a spiral path, and the outer wall of the roller 301 is provided with multiple sets of rubber protrusions 304 arranged in a spiral path. One side of the rubber protrusions 304 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the roller 301. The outer wall of the roller 301 is movably connected to the inner walls of the high-hardness spiral brush 305, the medium-hardness spiral brush 306, and the low-hardness spiral brush 307, respectively. The inner walls of the high-hardness spiral brush 305, the medium-hardness spiral brush 306, and the low-hardness spiral brush 307 are all fixedly connected to one side of the second damping block 308, and the other side of the second damping block 308 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting spring 309.

[0031] Specifically: The fruit cluster is placed towards the high-hardness spiral brush 305. The drive motor 302 is started to rotate the roller 301. Through the rotation of the high-hardness spiral brush 305, medium-hardness spiral brush 306, and low-hardness spiral brush 307, the high-hardness spiral brush 305 first contacts the fruit cluster and pries open the fruit at the edge of the cluster through strong friction. At the same time, the connecting spring 309 is compressed during the contact process, increasing the contact pressure of the brush. Then the medium-hardness spiral brush 306 continues to peel the fruit, and then the low-hardness spiral brush 307 gently cleans the remaining fruit. During the rotation, the rubber protrusion 304 contacts the gaps in the fruit cluster and separates the fruit stem from the fruit through a prying action. Then the brush follows up to clean.

[0032] In one embodiment, the other end of the connecting spring 309 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 303, and the outer wall of the second damping block 308 is movably connected to the inner wall of the groove 303.

[0033] Specifically: the brush pries open the fruit at the edge of the fruit cluster using strong friction, while the connecting spring 309 is compressed during contact, increasing the contact pressure of the brush.

[0034] Working principle: When adjusting the distance between the arc-shaped screen 201 and the roller 301, loosen the nut on the bolt 203. Then, the bolt 203 moves inside the elongated groove 102, thereby moving the connecting plate 202 and the arc-shaped screen 201. After the height adjustment is completed, tighten the nut and place the fruit cluster towards the high-hardness spiral brush 305. Start the drive motor 302 to drive the roller 301 to rotate. Through the rotation of the high-hardness spiral brush 305, medium-hardness spiral brush 306, and low-hardness spiral brush 307, the high-hardness spiral brush 305 first contacts the fruit cluster and pries it open with strong friction. The fruit at the edge of the fruit cluster is compressed during contact via the connecting spring 309, increasing the contact pressure of the brush. Then, the medium-hardness spiral brush 306 continues to peel the fruit, followed by the low-hardness spiral brush 307 gently cleaning the remaining fruit. During rotation, the rubber protrusion 304 contacts the gaps in the fruit cluster, separating the fruit stem from the fruit through a prying action. The brush then follows up to clean. At the same time, due to the eccentric setting of the roller 301, the roller 301 generates a slight longitudinal reciprocating vibration when rotating, adding a small impact on the basis of friction. Meanwhile, the elastic support of the first damping block 204 and the buffer spring 205 buffers the fruit cluster when it is too large.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
