Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dried fruit processing technology, and in particular relates to a dried fruit processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Fruit drying is a process that uses heat treatment to dehydrate fruit and produce dried products. By processing fresh fruit into dried fruit, not only can the shelf life of the fruit be extended, but its nutritional components and flavor can also be preserved, meeting consumers' demand for convenient and healthy food. Removing the pits from the fruit is a crucial step in the fruit drying process.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222486073U discloses an automatic fruit pitting device. An internal drive motor controls a rotating disc to rotate a certain angle each time, positioning the fruit against a pitting blade. An electric push rod lowers a fixed cylinder, which, in conjunction with the pitting blade, inserts into the center of the fruit. A cylinder inside the fixed cylinder pushes a push-out block inside the pitting blade, ejecting the fruit through a first and second opening. Under controller control, this device can continuously pit fruit, improving pitting efficiency. However, the openings are relatively large, causing smaller fruits to easily fall during the pitting process. Furthermore, the pitting blade's size is fixed and not adjustable, and the significant differences in pit size among different fruits make it difficult to meet the pitting needs of various fruits. Additionally, the main components are not easily disassembled for cleaning, increasing the risk of bacterial growth during long-term use.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing automatic fruit pitting devices and provide a fruit drying processing device that can easily meet the pitting needs of different fruits. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a fruit drying processing device that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to meet the pitting needs of different fruits, and whose main components are easy to disassemble and clean, thereby solving the problems existing in the existing technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A dried fruit processing apparatus, comprising: The main body includes a horizontally placed processing table and an "L"-shaped bracket fixed to the upper rear of the processing table; The lifting control mechanism includes a handle hinged to the top of the bracket. The handle has a "Y" shaped structure and symmetrical grooves are provided on the left and right sides of its middle part. A square rod is slidably connected through the end of the bracket away from the processing table. Fixed columns are fixed on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the top of the square rod. The ends of the two fixed columns that are far apart from each other are respectively guided to slide in the two grooves. A drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the square rod. A connecting rod is sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the drive motor and the two are fixedly connected by a first bolt. A through groove is opened inside the connecting rod, and a core removal component is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the connecting rod. A bidirectional lead screw is horizontally positioned and slidably disposed within the through groove. The left and right sets of core-removing components are located on the opposite threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw.
[0007] Preferably, a storage slot is provided inside the front end of the processing table and directly below the core removal component. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of the processing table by bolts. The center of the mounting plate is a mesh section, the length and width of which are greater than the length and width of the storage slot.
[0008] Preferably, a liquid collection box is placed directly below the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, the handle and the square rod are linked together. A control button is installed on the left side wall of the end of the handle away from the bracket. The control button is electrically connected to the drive motor through a wire and is used to control the power supply and operation of the drive motor.
[0010] Preferably, the first bolt is threaded onto the outer wall of the top front of the connecting rod, and the top end of the connecting rod is slidably sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the drive motor. The outer wall of the output shaft of the drive motor has a hole structure that matches the first bolt.
[0011] Preferably, the core removal assembly includes two sliders respectively threaded onto the outer sides of the reverse threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw. A set of connecting rods is provided on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the sliders. A core removal blade is fixed at the bottom of each slider. The two core removal blades are symmetrically arranged and both have an arc-shaped cross-section. The front and rear sides and the bottom of the core removal blades are sharpened. A second bolt is threaded to the top of the slider for pressing and positioning the bidirectional lead screw.
[0012] Preferably, each group of connecting rods has two rods in the vertical direction, and the two connecting rods in the same group are of equal length and are always parallel to each other.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the handle is lifted upwards, and the fruit is placed in the storage slot of the processing table, positioned above the mesh part of the mounting plate, and held firmly. Then, the handle is rotated downwards to press the fixing column, which causes the fixing column to move the square rod, the drive motor, and the two sets of pitting components vertically downwards simultaneously, allowing the two pitting blades to insert into the outside of the fruit pit. The drive motor can then be started to control the rotation of the two sets of pitting components. The front, back, sides, and bottom of the pitting blades are all sharpened to facilitate the separation of the pit from the pulp, making pitting quick and easy. The juice squeezed out during the pitting process can flow into the liquid collection box through the mesh part of the mounting plate for temporary storage, facilitating unified processing and preventing the juice from flowing around and affecting the hygiene and safety of the fruit processing environment.
[0014] This invention allows for manual rotation of a bidirectional lead screw to control two sliders to slide synchronously in opposite directions, depending on the size of the fruit pit. Two parallel connecting rods of equal length ensure stable slider adjustment, facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the two pitting blades. This meets the practical needs of pitting different fruits, making the device more practical. Furthermore, the mounting plate can be removed from the processing table, and the first bolt can be unscrewed to disassemble the connecting rod and pitting assembly from the device. This facilitates the disassembly, cleaning, and disinfection of the main components, preventing bacterial growth during long-term use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, a liquid collection box 3 is placed directly below the mounting plate 2.
[0020] In this embodiment, the mesh portion of the mounting plate 2 facilitates the collection of the juice squeezed out during the pitting process into the liquid collection box 3 for unified processing. Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 can be disassembled separately for regular cleaning and disinfection to prevent bacterial growth.
[0021] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, the handle 5 and the square rod 7 are linked together, and a control button 10 is installed on the left side wall of the end of the handle 5 away from the bracket 4. The control button 10 is electrically connected to the drive motor 9 through a wire and is used to control the power supply and operation of the drive motor 9.
[0022] In this embodiment, the handle 5 facilitates the vertical lifting and lowering of the square rod 7, making it convenient for pitting. The control button 10 facilitates the start of the drive motor 9, which drives the two sets of pitting components to rotate, making it easy to completely separate the pit from the pulp and quickly remove the pit.
[0023] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, the first bolt 12 is threadedly installed on the top front outer wall of the connecting rod 11, the top end of the connecting rod 11 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the output shaft of the drive motor 9, and the outer wall of the output shaft of the drive motor 9 is provided with a hole structure that matches the first bolt 12.
[0024] In this embodiment, the first bolt 12 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the connecting rod 11 and the output shaft of the drive motor 9, and facilitates the cleaning of the core removal assembly.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, the core removal assembly includes two sliders 15 respectively threaded onto the outer sides of the reverse threads at both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 13. A set of connecting rods 16 is provided on the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the sliders 15. A core removal knife 17 is fixed at the bottom of each slider 15. The two core removal knives 17 are symmetrically arranged and both have an arc-shaped cross-section. The front and rear sides and the bottom of the core removal knife 17 are sharpened. A second bolt 18 is threaded to the top of the slider 15 for pressing and positioning the bidirectional lead screw 13.
[0026] In this embodiment, the bidirectional lead screw 13 and connecting rod 16 facilitate the control of the spacing between the left and right pitting components, which can meet the actual needs of pitting different fruits, making the device more practical.
[0027] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above structure, preferably, each group of connecting rods 16 has two in the vertical direction, and the two connecting rods 16 in the same group are of equal length and are always parallel to each other.
[0028] In this embodiment, the use of multiple sets of connecting rods 16 can improve the stability of the two sets of core removal components during the spacing adjustment process.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the equipment, first power it on. Lift the handle 5 upwards with one hand to raise the square rod 7 and the two sets of pitting components. Then, place the fruit to be pitted into the storage slot of the processing table 1 and hold it above the mesh part of the mounting plate 2. At this time, you can control the handle 5 to rotate downwards and use the slide 6 to squeeze the fixing column 8. This will cause the fixing column 8 to drive the square rod 7, drive motor 9, connecting rod 11, and the two sets of pitting components to move vertically downwards in sync. This will allow the two pitting blades 17 to be inserted into the fruit and positioned on both sides of the pit. Then, press the control button 10 to power on the drive motor 9 and control the connecting rod 11 and the two sets of pitting components to rotate. Since the front, back, sides, and bottom of the pitting blades 17 are all sharpened, it is easy to completely separate the pit from the pulp, which is convenient for quick pitting. Moreover, the juice squeezed out during the pitting process can flow into the liquid collection box 3 through the mesh part of the mounting plate 2 for temporary storage, which is convenient for subsequent unified processing and avoids the juice flowing around and affecting the processing environment. When pitting different fruits, the bidirectional screw 13 can be manually rotated according to the size of the corresponding fruit pit to control the two sliders 15 to drive the two pitting blades 17 to slide in opposite directions. The two equal and parallel connecting rods 16 in the same group can ensure the stability of the slider 15 adjustment and complete the quick adjustment of the distance between the two pitting blades 17. This makes it easy to meet the actual pitting needs of different fruits, effectively improving the practicality of the device. In addition, the second bolt 18 can be tightened to press and position the bidirectional screw 13, ensuring the stability of the two pitting blades 17. In this device, power is supplied by an external power source. The drive motor 9 and control button 10 are existing electrical appliances and related control components. The specific control principle is a mature technology. Moreover, the mounting plate 2 in this device can be disassembled separately. By removing the first bolt 12, it is also easy to separate the docking rod 11 from the output shaft of the drive motor 9. The core removal component can be disassembled, which is convenient for disassembling, cleaning and disinfecting the main components, and avoiding the growth of bacteria during long-term use. It should be noted that the bidirectional lead screw 13 slides within the through groove 14, which can prevent jamming when the two sets of core removal components are adjusting the spacing. In addition, during actual production and use of the device, a support spring can be installed between the bracket 4 and the handle 5 to assist in operation.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any equivalent changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations made by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model and on the basis of existing technology through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experiments shall be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
