Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cashew processing, and in particular to a cashew feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cashews are a type of plant native to tropical America, belonging to the Anacardiaceae family and the Cashew genus. Their fruit is a kidney-shaped nut, rich in nutrients, and has various health benefits. Cashews vary in size and shape, and to meet diverse market demands, the processing involves grading and sorting. Devices separate cashews of different sizes in a single batch, followed by unloading and rapid sorting.

[0003] Existing cashew nut sorting and discharging devices generally have holes or sieves of different sizes. Cashews are placed inside a moving structure or drum to assist their movement, causing them to stop at different positions according to their size as they pass through the holes or sieves. However, during use, it is difficult to ensure that cashews will not get stuck on the surface of the holes or sieves. Cashews vary in size and shape, and their state as they pass through the holes or sieves is difficult to control. It is hard to avoid them getting stuck on the surface of the holes or sieves during the sorting process. When cashews get stuck, the flow path of the current hole or sieve is reduced, and the size of the cashews that can pass through may also decrease, affecting the sorting of cashews in the current area.

[0004] In summary, existing cashew sorting and discharging devices often encounter the problem of cashews getting stuck in holes or on the sieve surface during the sorting process, affecting subsequent cashew sorting. Utility Model Content

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a cashew nut discharging mechanism provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 11. A plurality of drive rollers 12, which contact the cashew nuts, are rotatably connected inside the frame 11. A plurality of sorting plates 13, which contact the drive rollers 12, are fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. Each sorting plate 13 has a sorting groove 14 on its surface. A through-hole mechanism is provided between the surface of the sorting plate 13 and the drive rollers 12. The through-hole mechanism includes:

[0033] Scraper 2, which is slidably disposed on the surface of sorting plate 13, and scraper 31 is fixedly disposed inside scraper 2, which is adapted to sorting groove 14;

[0034] A drive rod 32 is rotatably disposed inside the sorting plate 13. The drive rod 32 is threadedly connected to the scraper 2. A drive gear 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive rod 32 away from the drive roller 12.

[0035] A drive rod 34 is slidably disposed on the surface of the sorting plate 13. A plurality of intermittent rings 35 are fixedly connected to the surface of the drive roller 12. The surface of the intermittent rings 35 is provided with a frosted layer. The end of the drive rod 34 contacts the intermittent rings 35. A drive block 36 is slidably connected to the surface of the drive rod 34. A connecting spring 37 is fixedly connected between the drive block 36 and the sorting plate 13. A plurality of drive teeth 38 are fixedly connected to the surface of the drive block 36. The drive teeth 38 are adapted to the drive gear 33.

[0036] In summary, the cashew nut discharge mechanism provided by this utility model includes a scraper 2 slidably disposed on the surface of a sorting plate 13, and a scraper rod 31 disposed on its surface adapted to a sorting trough 14. The sliding of the scraper 2 can drive the scraper rod 31 to slide inside the sorting trough 14, causing the stuck cashew nuts to be subjected to force and moved. The cashew nuts are then disengaged from the sorting plate 13 under the drive of the drive roller 12. A rotating drive rod 32 is disposed inside the sorting plate 13, threadedly connected to the scraper 2. The rotation of the drive rod 32 can drive the scraper 2 to move. The rotation of the drive rod 32 drives the scraper 2 to move. Gear 33 and drive gear 38 are driven by drive block 36. Drive rod 34 is provided on the surface of drive block 36 and is in contact with the surface of drive rod 34. The rotation of drive roller 12 can drive drive rod 34 to move in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby changing the height of drive rod 34 and driving drive block to slide. Under the action of connecting spring 37 and drive rod 34, drive block can slide back and forth, thereby driving drive rod 34 to rotate back and forth. Scraper 2 can slide back and forth on the surface of sorting plate 13. Scraper 31 can continuously apply force to cashews inside sorting trough 14 to clean cashews stuck inside sorting trough 14.

[0037] In some specific implementations, a plurality of baffles 15 and a plurality of guide plates 16 are fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11. The baffles 15 and guide plates 16 are spaced apart. The sorting plate 13 is fixedly disposed between adjacent baffles 15 and is in contact with the guide plates 16. Four drive rollers 12 are disposed between adjacent baffles 15 and are symmetrically disposed relative to the guide plates 16.

[0038] In a further embodiment, the frame 11 is inclined relative to the fixed surface; due to the relative inclination of the frame 11, the cashews inside the frame 11 will slide to one side of the frame 11 under the action of gravity, while the cashews come into contact with the rotating drive roller 12, and the drive roller 12 will provide the power for the cashews to move. The dual power causes the cashews to move and be sorted quickly.

[0039] In a further embodiment, a drive motor 51 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 11, a synchronous pulley 52 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the drive motor 51, and drive wheels are fixedly connected to the ends of the drive rod 34. A synchronous belt 53 is connected between the synchronous pulley 52 and the drive wheels.

[0040] In a further embodiment, a plurality of spacer wheels 54 are rotatably connected to the surface of the frame 11, and the timing belt 53 is slidably disposed on the surface of the spacer wheels 54; by changing the contact area between the drive wheel and the timing belt 53 through the spacer wheels 54, the wrap angle of the drive wheel is ensured to be greater than 160 degrees and the wrap angle of the timing wheel 52 is greater than 120 degrees.

[0041] In a further embodiment, each of the drive rollers 12 is rotatably connected to a movable block 55 at the other end, and a movable rod 56 is rotatably connected to the surface of the frame 11. The movable rod 56 is threadedly connected to the movable block 55. Rotating the movable rod 56 can pull the movable block 55 to slide, causing the position of the drive roller 12 relative to the baffle 15 and the guide plate 16 to change, thereby changing the gap between the drive rod 34 and the guide plate 16 and preventing the cashews from detaching from the drive roller 12 or the guide plate 16.

[0042] In some specific implementations, the scraper 2 includes a driving arc 21, a connecting block 22, and a positioning block 23. The driving arc 21 is threadedly connected to the driving rod 32, the connecting block 22 is fixedly connected to the scraper rod 31, and a threaded rod 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the scraper rod 31. A positioning ring 42 is rotatably connected to the surface of the positioning block 23, and the positioning ring 42 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 41. Rotating the positioning ring 42 can drive the positioning block 23 to move closer to or away from the connecting block 22, so that the positioning block 23 can be detached from the connecting block 22, and the scraper rod 31 can be replaced as needed.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the end of the driving arc 21 is rotatably connected to a positioning post 43, and both the positioning block 23 and the connecting block 22 have positioning grooves 44 on their surfaces. The positioning post 43 is threadedly connected to the positioning groove 44. The positioning post 43 and the positioning groove 44 can limit the position of the driving arc 21 and the positioning block 23 or the connecting block 22, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance during subsequent use.

[0044] In some specific implementations, a sliding column 45 is fixedly connected to the surface of the driving block 36, and a sliding groove 46 is formed on the surface of the driving rod 34, wherein the sliding column 45 is adapted to the sliding groove 46;

[0045] The working principle of this utility model:

[0046] Before sorting cashews, first place the scraper 31 and sorting groove 14 on the surface of the connecting block 22 onto the surface of the sorting plate 13, then place the positioning block 23 at the position of the scraper 31, rotate the positioning ring 42 to make the positioning block 23 close to the connecting block 22, and then screw the positioning post 43 into the positioning groove 44 to fix the overall position of the scraper 2.

[0047] When sorting cashews, cashews are placed in and the motor is started, causing the drive roller 12 to rotate. Under the action of gravity and the drive roller 12, the cashews slide to one side. Some cashews pass through the sorting plate 13. The drive roller 12 rotates, causing the intermittent ring 35 to rotate, causing the drive rod 34 to change position, which in turn causes the drive block to slide, causing the drive gear 33 to rotate, causing the scraper 2 to move, and the scraper 31 to move inside the sorting trough 14.

[0048] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
