Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seed impurity removal technology, specifically a device for rinsing and removing shriveled seeds from melon seeds. Background Technology

[0002] In processing pumpkin seeds, the pumpkin is usually crushed to separate the seeds from the pulp. A preliminary wash removes most of the sticky impurities, but some immature, shriveled seeds remain. These shriveled seeds affect the overall quality of the seeds and are typically removed. Currently, many small and medium-sized seed processing plants use traditional water washing tanks for manual rinsing and impurity removal. This method relies entirely on manual operation, is labor-intensive, and has low production efficiency. Furthermore, ordinary water washing tanks rely solely on natural buoyancy, resulting in incomplete separation of plump seeds from shriveled seeds, affecting the purity of the final product. Therefore, there is a need to develop a pumpkin seed rinsing and shriveling device that reduces labor intensity for workers and provides better sorting results. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above technical problems, this utility model provides a sunflower seed washing and deshriveling device that reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves the sorting effect, thereby solving the problems of high intensity and incomplete separation in traditional water washing tanks for manual washing.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a sunflower seed rinsing and deshriveling device, comprising a rinsing tank and a collecting tank. The rinsing tank is embedded in and communicates with the collecting tank, with its tail end located in the middle of the collecting tank. A microporous aeration disc is embedded in the bottom of the collecting tank, and the microporous aeration disc has a plurality of aeration micro-holes. The microporous aeration disc is connected to the output end of an air pump through an air supply pipe. A mesh conveyor is inclinedly arranged at the tail end of the collecting tank, and feeding troughs are fixedly connected to the mesh conveyor at intervals. The head end of the mesh conveyor is close to the bottom of the collecting tank, and its tail end extends... An overflow trough is fixedly connected to the upper part of the rinsing tank outside the collection tank. The lower end of the overflow trough is connected to a circulating water tank. A filter cartridge is detachably connected inside the circulating water tank. A first spray pipe is fixedly connected to the upper part of the first end of the rinsing tank. A first nozzle facing the overflow trough is fixedly connected to the first nozzle. A second spray pipe is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first end of the collection tank. A second nozzle facing the first end of the mesh conveyor is fixedly connected to the second spray pipe. The circulating water tank is connected to the first spray pipe and the second spray pipe through a water supply pipe. A high-pressure water pump is connected to the water supply pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, a first overflow pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the overflow tank, and a second overflow pipe is sleeved at the end of the overflow pipe. The upper edge of the filter cake is placed on the top of the circulating water tank, and the second overflow pipe extends into the filter cake.

[0006] Furthermore, aeration pipes are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower part of the rinsing tank, and several upwardly inclined aeration heads are fixedly connected to the aeration pipes. The aeration pipes are connected to the air pump through pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, a buffer tank is fixedly connected to the input end of the rinsing tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper edge of the baffle at the end of the rinsing tank is higher than the lower edge of the overflow tank, and the lower edge is lower than the upper edge of the collection tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first end of the rinsing tank, and several dispersing rods are fixedly connected at intervals on the rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor.

[0010] Furthermore, a mesh conveyor is also provided. The input end of the mesh conveyor is located directly below the end of the mesh conveyor. A baffle plate is fixedly connected to the input end of the mesh conveyor, and side baffle plates are fixedly connected to both sides. A water receiving tray is placed on the frame of the mesh conveyor.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0012] 1. This utility model, by setting up a rinsing tank and a collection tank, connects an aeration disc to the bottom of the collection tank and aeration pipes to both sides of the rinsing tank, which can drive the seeds to fully tumble and rinse, promoting the separation of plump seeds and shriveled seeds. Shriveled seeds float on the water surface, while plump seeds sink to the bottom. An overflow tank is connected to one end of the rinsing tank, which is connected to a circulating water tank. A water supply pipe connects the circulating water tank to a first spray pipe connected to the upper part of the rinsing tank and a second spray pipe connected to the lower part of the collection tank. The first spray pipe can push shriveled seeds into the overflow tank, and the second spray pipe can push plump seeds to the end of the collection tank. A mesh conveyor and a feeding trough set at the end of the collection tank can automatically remove the seeds from the collection tank, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers while ensuring the separation effect.

[0013] 2. This utility model has a rotating shaft and a dispersing rod installed at the beginning of the rinsing tank. When feeding the material, the dispersing rod can break up the clumps of seeds for rinsing, thus avoiding the problem of incomplete separation caused by seed clumping. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] When harvesting seeds from pumpkins, melons, zucchini, and other similar fruits, the fruits are typically broken open and the seeds removed. However, these seeds often contain a large amount of pulp and other impurities. Initial washing is usually performed, but even after this initial washing, some shriveled seeds remain. Traditionally, these seeds are placed in a rinsing tank for manual washing, and the impurities are manually removed. However, this method is labor-intensive for workers, and relying solely on natural buoyancy cannot achieve complete separation of impurities. Therefore, a rinsing device has been developed that reduces the labor intensity for workers while ensuring effective separation. For example... Figure 1 , 4The device shown includes a rinsing and deshriveling device for sunflower seeds, comprising a rinsing tank 1 and a collecting tank 2. The rinsing tank 1 is embedded in the collecting tank 2 and its bottom is connected to the collecting tank 2. The first ends of the rinsing tank 1 and the collecting tank 2 are aligned. The last end of the rinsing tank 1 is located in the middle of the collecting tank 2. The upper edge of the baffle at the end of the rinsing tank 1 is higher than the lower edge of the overflow tank 3 and the lower edge is lower than the upper edge of the collecting tank 2. The upper edge of the collecting tank 2 is flush with the upper edge of the rinsing tank 1 or preferably higher than the first spray pipe 15. To facilitate the smooth movement of plump seeds, the bottom of the collecting tank 2 is inclined and the first end is higher than the last end. A groove is formed at the bottom of the collection tank 2, and a microporous aeration disc 4 is embedded in the groove. The microporous aeration disc 4 is flush with the bottom of the collection tank 2. Several aeration micro-holes are formed on the upper surface of the microporous aeration disc 4. An air supply pipe is connected to the bottom of the microporous aeration disc 4. The air supply pipe passes through the collection tank 2 and is connected to the output end of the air pump 5. A sealing ring is set between the air supply pipe and the collection tank 2. The air pump 5 is fixedly connected to the support leg at the bottom of the collection tank 2 by bolts. A mesh conveyor 6 is inclinedly set at the tail end of the collection tank 2. The lower end of the mesh conveyor 6 is connected to the bottom of the collection tank 2. The inner walls of both sides of the collection tank 2 are connected, and the upper edges of both sides of the collection tank 2 are fixedly connected to the brackets. The upper end of the mesh conveyor 6 is connected to the brackets, and the mesh conveyor 6 is fixedly connected at intervals to the feeding trough 7. The head end of the mesh conveyor 6 is close to the bottom of the collection tank 2, and the tail end extends to the outside of the collection tank 2. As the mesh conveyor 6 rotates, the lower edge of the feeding trough 7 just contacts the bottom of the collection tank 2. The upper part of the end of the rinsing tank 1 is fixedly connected to the overflow trough 3, and the lower end of the overflow trough 3 is fixedly connected to the first overflow pipe 10. A second overflow pipe 11 is fitted at the end of the filter cylinder 12, which is placed on top of the circulating water tank 9. The end of the second overflow pipe 11 extends into the filter cylinder 12. The filter cylinder 12 is relatively long, and its lower end is lower than the middle of the circulating water tank 9. Therefore, when impurities are collected in the filter cylinder 12, the water can be smoothly filtered out from the top. A first spray pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the first end of the rinsing tank 1 by a connecting frame and bolts. The number of first spray pipes 15 can be freely selected according to the usage effect. The first spray pipes 15 are fixed. A first nozzle 16 is connected to the overflow trough 3. A second nozzle 17 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the first end of the collection trough 2 by a connecting frame and bolts. The number of second nozzles 17 can be freely selected according to the usage effect. A second nozzle 18 is fixedly connected to the second nozzle 17, facing the first end of the mesh conveyor 6. A water supply pipe 14 is connected to one side of the bottom of the circulating water tank 9. The water supply pipe 14 is connected to the first nozzle 15 and the second nozzle 17 through a water delivery pipe. A high-pressure water pump 13 is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe 14.

[0022] Aeration pipes 19 are fixedly connected to the lower sides of the rinsing tank 1 via connecting brackets and bolts. Several upwardly inclined aeration heads 20 are fixedly connected to the aeration pipes 19. The aeration pipes 19 are connected to the air pump 5 via pipes, and a sealing ring is installed between the pipes and the rinsing tank 1. Material is fed into the upper part of the first end of the rinsing tank 1, and an inclined buffer tank 21 is fixedly connected to the feed input end.

[0023] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0024] Water that would otherwise flow into overflow tank 3 is added to rinsing tank 1 beforehand. Seeds are then added to rinsing tank 1 along buffer tank 21. Simultaneously, air pump 5 is started, supplying air to aeration disc 4 and aeration pipe 19. This aeration causes the added seeds to tumble fully, separating plump seeds from shriveled seeds and impurities. Shriveled seeds and impurities float on the surface, while plump seeds sink to the bottom. Simultaneously, high-pressure water pump 13 is started, allowing circulating water to enter first spray pipe 15 and second spray pipe 17 under high pressure. Water is sprayed from the first nozzle 16 and the second nozzle 18, causing the water flow to move. The shriveled seeds at the top enter the overflow trough 3 and then enter the filter cylinder 12. The shriveled seeds remain in the filter cylinder 12, while the water enters the circulating water tank 9. When there are too many impurities in the filter cylinder 12, the machine is stopped and the filter cylinder 12 is cleaned. The plump seeds at the bottom move toward the mesh conveyor 6, synchronously driving the mesh conveyor 6 to run, which drives the feeding trough 7 to transport the plump seeds out of the collection trough 2.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] like Figure 2 , 4 The illustrated melon seed rinsing and deshriveling device differs from Embodiment 1 in that: this embodiment also includes a mesh conveyor 8 for inoculating and transporting seeds. The input end of the mesh conveyor 8 is located directly below the end of the mesh conveyor 6. A baffle plate 801 is fixedly connected to the frame at the input end of the mesh conveyor 8, and the baffle plate 801 is close to the input end of the mesh conveyor 8. Side baffles 802 are fixedly connected to the frames on both sides of the mesh conveyor 8, and a water receiving tray is placed at the bottom of the frame of the mesh conveyor 8.

[0027] The difference between the working principle of this embodiment and that of Embodiment 1 is as follows:

[0028] In this embodiment, a mesh conveyor 8 is provided. The plump seeds output from the mesh conveyor 6 and the feeding trough 7 fall onto the mesh conveyor 8 and are transported to the target position. The baffle plate 801 and the side baffle plate 802 can prevent the seeds from falling.

[0029] Example 3:

[0030] like Figure 3 , 5 The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment of the sunflower seed rinsing and deshriveling device is that this embodiment also includes a mechanism for breaking up clumps of seeds. This mechanism includes a rotating shaft 22 rotatably connected to the first end of the rinsing tank 1 via a bearing. Several breaking rods 23 are fixedly connected at intervals on the rotating shaft 22. One end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through the rinsing tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of a drive motor 24 that is fixedly connected to the outside of the rinsing tank 1 via a motor base and bolts.

[0031] The difference between the working principle of this embodiment and that of Embodiment 2 is as follows:

[0032] In this embodiment, a dispersing mechanism is provided. When the seeds are fed, the drive motor 24 is started. The drive motor 24 can drive the rotating shaft 22 and the dispersing rod 23 to rotate and disperse the seeds, so as to avoid the problem of poor impurity removal caused by clumped seeds.
