Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit juice production technology, and specifically relates to a multifunctional fruit peel processing device. Background Technology

[0002] During the citrus juice processing, the peel and seeds separate from the pulp due to physical compression during the pressing process. The pressed juice is then sieved to remove large particles, but peel fragments and unseparated seeds pass through the sieve to the next stage. The recycling value of citrus peel and seeds is extremely high. Natural functional components extracted from the peel can be used for natural flavorings, and dried and pulverized citrus peel can be used as dried tangerine peel powder for food processing and functional food development. The seeds contain approximately 15%-25% oil, which can be used for seed oil extraction. Additionally, the seeds contain approximately 8%-12% protein, which, after hydrolysis, can be made into amino acid oral solutions or used as feed protein additives.

[0003] Currently, to simplify the process, the factory collects the peels and seeds together during production for use in feed or fertilizer. Simultaneously, the factory has developed a production line for peels to utilize the peels and seeds left over from juice production. This allows for the processing of peels not only using the pressed peels and seeds for feed production but also for further processing. However, there is currently a lack of equipment to separate the peels and seeds. Existing methods generally use water flotation, which separates the peels and seeds based on their buoyancy difference in water, but this method requires multiple tanks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional fruit peel processing device and to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of how to separate fruit peel and seeds during the fruit peel processing process. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A multifunctional fruit peel processing device includes a conveying mechanism, the output end of which is connected to a discharge pipe, and a rotary joint is connected to the discharge pipe.

An opening is provided on the side of the seed discharge box, and a peel discharge cylinder is connected to the opening. A peel transport mechanism is provided at the lower end of the peel discharge cylinder, and a seed transport mechanism is provided at the lower end of the seed discharge box. A feed pipe is connected to the separating cylinder, and the feed pipe is connected to the rotary joint.

[0007] The driving mechanism includes a first set of driving wheels and a second set of driving wheels, which are respectively connected to both ends of the separating cylinder and located outside the seed discharge box.

[0009] The seed discharge box is provided with a mounting hole, and a bearing is connected to the mounting hole. The first connecting pipe is connected to the bearing and extends out of the seed discharge box to connect with the feed pipe.

[0010] The second connecting pipe is provided with a discharge port, which extends out of the fruit peel discharge cylinder and is located inside the fruit peel discharge cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the fruit peel discharge cylinder is provided with a discharge port, and a discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port, with the discharge pipe located above the fruit peel transport mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the first set of drive wheels includes a first driving gear and a first driven gear, the first driven gear being connected to the first connecting pipe, and the first driving gear being connected to the dual-shaft extension motor;

[0028] See Figure 1 A multifunctional fruit peel processing device includes a conveying mechanism 5, the output end of which is connected to a discharge pipe 2, and a rotary joint 3 is connected to the discharge pipe 2.

[0029] The separation cylinder 4 is provided with a seed discharge hole 40. The separation cylinder 4 is set in a seed discharge box 6, which is inclinedly connected to the frame 7. The side of the seed discharge box 6 is provided with an opening, and a fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 is connected to the opening. A fruit peel transport mechanism 9 is provided at the lower end of the fruit peel discharge cylinder 8, and a seed transport mechanism 10 is provided at the lower end of the seed discharge box 6. A feed pipe 11 is connected to the separation cylinder 4, and the feed pipe 11 is connected to the rotary joint 3.

[0030] The drive mechanism 12 includes a first set of drive wheels 121 and a second set of drive wheels 122. The first set of drive wheels 121 and the second set of drive wheels 122 are respectively connected to the two ends of the separating cylinder 4 and are located outside the seed discharge box 6.

[0031] The rotary joint 3 enables the feed pipe 11 connected to the rotary joint 3 to rotate, while the discharge pipe 2 connected to the rotary joint 3 does not rotate. This allows the mixture of fruit peel and seeds to be fed into the separation cylinder 4 through the feed pipe 11 during the rotation of the separation cylinder 4.

[0032] The spiral conveyor 5 is used to transport the mixture of fruit peel and seeds obtained during the juice production process into the separation cylinder 4.

[0033] A third connecting pipe 17 connects the discharge pipe 2 and the rotary joint 3. The third connecting pipe 17 includes two sections of pipe set at an angle, so that when the separation cylinder 4 is tilted, the connection between the rotary joint 3 and the discharge pipe 2 is more adapted to the state of the separation cylinder 4, which facilitates the conveying of the mixture of fruit peel and seeds.

[0034] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The separating cylinder 4 includes a cylinder body 41, one end of which is connected to a first cover plate 42, and a first connecting pipe 43 is connected to the first cover plate 42. The other end of the cylinder body 41 is connected to a second cover plate 44, and a second connecting pipe 45 is connected to the second cover plate 44. The seed discharge box 6 is provided with an installation hole, and a bearing 13 is connected to the installation hole. The first connecting pipe 43 is connected to the bearing 13 and extends out of the seed discharge box 6 to connect with the feed pipe 11. The second connecting pipe 45 is provided with a discharge port 450, which extends out of the peel discharge cylinder 8, and the discharge port 450 is located inside the peel discharge cylinder 8.

[0035] When the separating cylinder 4 rotates, the first connecting pipe 43 passes through the bearing 13 on the seed discharge box 6 and rotates within the bearing 13, providing support for the separating cylinder 4 without hindering its rotation. The second connecting pipe 45 passes through the peel discharge cylinder 8, and the portion of the second connecting pipe 45 extending from the peel discharge cylinder 8 passes through the bearing of the bearing seat.

[0036] See Figure 4 The fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 is provided with a discharge port 80, and a discharge pipe 14 is connected to the discharge port 80. The discharge pipe 14 is located above the fruit peel transport mechanism 9.

[0037] The peel discharge cylinder 8 is connected to the frame 7, with the discharge port 80 facing downwards. When the peels in the separating cylinder 4 automatically gather in the lower-end second connecting pipe 45 under their own weight, the peels in the second connecting pipe 45 fall into the peel discharge cylinder 8 through the discharge port 450. Finally, the peel discharge cylinder 8 discharges the peels through the discharge port 80. When the second connecting pipe 45 rotates, the peels inside are flung from the discharge port 450 into the peel discharge cylinder 8, preventing them from scattering elsewhere.

[0038] See Figure 2 and Figure 3The first set of drive wheels 121 includes a first driving gear 1211 and a first driven gear 1212. The first driven gear 1212 is connected to the first connecting pipe 43, and the first driving gear 1211 is connected to the dual-shaft extension motor 15. The second set of drive wheels 122 includes a second driving gear 1221 and a second driven gear 1222. The second driven gear 1222 is connected to the second connecting pipe 45, and the second driving gear 1221 is connected to the dual-shaft extension motor 15. The dual-shaft extension motor 15 is connected to the frame 7.

[0039] The first connecting pipe 43 of the separating cylinder 4 is connected to the first driven gear 1212 in the first set of drive wheels 121, and the second connecting pipe 45 of the separating cylinder 4 is connected to the second driven gear 1222 in the second set of drive wheels 122. A bearing seat is provided between the fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 and the second driven gear 1222, and the portion of the second connecting pipe 45 extending from the fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 passes through the bearing of the bearing seat.

[0040] When the dual-shaft extension motor 15 is started, the shafts at both ends of the dual-shaft extension motor 15 rotate synchronously and in the same direction. The first driving gear 1211 and the second driving gear 1221 connected to the dual-shaft extension motor 15 rotate simultaneously in the same direction, thereby causing the first driven gear 1212 and the second driven gear 1222 to rotate simultaneously in the same direction, causing the separation cylinder 4 to rotate.

[0041] See Figure 1 The first set of drive wheels 121 and the first set of drive wheels 122 are respectively installed in the gearbox 16. The gearbox 16 is connected to the frame 7. The gearbox 16 can install the gears inside the gearbox 16 to prevent them from being exposed, thus preventing employees from touching them and causing injury or death, and also reducing the frequency of gear maintenance.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the conveying mechanism 5 can be a screw conveyor or a belt conveyor. When a screw conveyor is used, the screw conveying mechanism includes a housing 51, in which a screw 52 is disposed. The screw 52 is driven to rotate by a motor 53, which is disposed inside the housing 51. A baffle plate 54 is disposed between the motor 53 and the screw 52. An inlet 511 is provided on the upper part of the housing 51 near the motor 53, and an outlet 512 is provided on the lower part of the housing 51 away from the motor 53. The outlet 512 is connected to the outlet pipe 2.

[0043] In the juice production process, the mixture of fruit peel and seeds is fed into the machine housing 51 through the inlet 511. The motor 53 can make the spiral 52 rotate. When the spiral 52 rotates, it pushes the material forward, so that the mixture of fruit peel and seeds at the inlet 511 is transported to the outlet 512 and then discharged from the outlet 512.

[0044] When a belt conveyor is used, a collection trough is provided at the output end of the belt. The collection trough is used to collect a mixture of fruit peels and seeds. An opening is provided on the collection trough, and the discharge pipe 2 is connected to the opening.

[0045] See Figure 1 The top of the frame 7 is provided with a jet pipe 1, which can extend into the seed discharge box 6 to spray gas into the seed discharge hole 40 on the separation cylinder 4.

[0046] Multiple jet pipes 1 spray compressed air onto the top of the separator 4. The jet pipes 1 can select the timing of the spraying based on the operating time of the separator 4. For example, the separator 4 can spray air once every half hour to prevent the seed discharge hole 40 from becoming clogged.

[0047] In summary, the multifunctional fruit peel processing device provided by this utility model transports a mixture of fruit peels and seeds to the discharge pipe 2 via a screw conveyor mechanism during the fruit peel processing. From there, it is transported to the separation cylinder 4 via a rotary joint 3. Driven by a set of drive wheels 121 and a second set of drive wheels 122, the separation cylinder 4 rotates. This rotation generates centrifugal force, causing the seeds to separate from the mixture. The seeds are ejected from the seed discharge hole 40 on the separation cylinder 4 and fall into the seed discharge box 6, where they are finally transported away by the seed transport mechanism 10. Due to the inclined design of the separation cylinder 4, the fruit peels automatically gather towards the lower end under their own weight, and are then discharged into the fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 at the lower end. The fruit peels discharged from the fruit peel discharge cylinder 8 are then transported away by the fruit peel transport mechanism 9.
