[0027] Example 1

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 6 A device for removing the seeds and separating the segments of a winter melon includes a support leg 1, a support box 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support leg 1, a replacement mechanism 5 inside the support box 2, a circular cutter 9 inside the replacement mechanism 5, a discharge mechanism 3 at the bottom of the support leg 1, a telescopic rod 2 4 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the support box 2, a pressure block 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 2 4, a telescopic rod 1 7 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the support box 2, and a circular block 8 fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 1 7.

[0029] The material discharge mechanism 3 includes a socket 31, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg 1. A limit block 32 is movably connected to the inner wall of the socket 31. A collection box 33 is fixedly connected to the left side of the limit block 32. A limit frame 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the socket 31. A threaded rod 35 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the limit frame 34. A rectangular plate 36 is rotatably connected to the top of the threaded rod 35. An insert block 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular plate 36. A telescopic rod 38 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the support box 2. A push plate 39 is fixedly connected to the left end of the telescopic rod 38. A telescopic rod 4 301 is fixedly connected to the back of the support box 2. A push block 302 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod 4 301.

[0030] Furthermore, the push block 302 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support box 2, and the push plate 39 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support box 2, thereby limiting the push block 302 and the push plate 39.

[0031] Furthermore, the socket 31 has a through-hole at the bottom, through which the plug 37 passes, allowing the plug 37 to move.

[0032] Furthermore, the limiting block 32 has a slot inside, and the insert block 37 is movably connected to the inner wall of the slot, so that the insert block 37 can limit the limiting block 32 through the slot.

[0033] Furthermore, the rectangular plate 36 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting frame 34, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 35 is fixedly connected to a torsion sleeve, which facilitates the rotation of the threaded rod 35 through the torsion sleeve.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] See Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the replacement mechanism 5 includes a support platform 51, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support leg 1. A protrusion 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support platform 51, and a bolt 53 is threaded inside the protrusion 52 to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the circular cutter 9.

[0036] Furthermore, the protrusion 52 is fixedly connected to the outside of the circular cutter 9, and the bolt 53 is threadedly connected to the top of the support platform 51 to provide stable support for the circular cutter 9.

[0037] In actual operation, when using this device, first place the winter melon that needs to be deseeded and segmented on top of the circular cutter 9. Then, activate the telescopic rod 7. The telescopic rod 7 can move the circular block 8, allowing it to deseed the winter melon. The deseeded winter melon pulp will fall downwards. At this time, activate the telescopic rod 38. The telescopic rod 38 can move the push plate 39, which can push the winter melon pulp to the left, allowing it to be collected inside the collection box 33. After the winter melon is deseeded, support box 2 can be used. When telescopic rod 2 (4) is activated, it can move pressing block 6 downwards. Pressing block 6 and circular cutter 9 work together to cut the winter melon pieces at the top of circular cutter 9 into segments. After segmentation, the winter melon will fall downwards. Then, telescopic rod 4 (301) is activated, which can move push block 302, allowing push block 302 to push the segmented winter melon out of the support box 2, thus achieving the purpose of material unloading. At the same time, no manual operation is required during the process of removing the pulp and segmenting the winter melon, reducing the safety hazards in the operation process.

[0038] The torsion sleeve at the bottom of the rotating threaded rod 35 can drive the threaded rod 35 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 35 and the limiting frame 34 are threadedly connected, and the rectangular plate 36 can slide and limit the movement of the limiting frame 34, the rectangular plate 36 will cause the insert block 37 to be pulled out from the inside of the limiting block 32, thus canceling the limitation on the limiting block 32. Then the limiting block 32 can be pulled out from the inside of the socket 31, thus limiting the collection box 33. This facilitates the cleaning of the winter melon pulp collected inside the collection box 33. At the same time, it can have good stability during the processing, enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0039] When the circular cutter 9 is damaged during long-term use and needs to be disassembled and replaced, the bolt 53 can be rotated first to unscrew the bolt 53 from the inside of the protrusion 52, thereby removing the limiting effect on the protrusion 52. Then, the protrusion 52 can be pulled out from the inside of the support platform 51 through the circular cutter 9, thus disassembling the circular cutter 9. This facilitates further disassembly and replacement of the circular cutter 9, achieving good disassembly and assembly efficiency while reducing the time spent.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
