[0003] Medicinal Trichosanthes kirilowii refers to the mature fruit of the Cucurbita trichosanthes or Trichosanthes spp., belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. Its tuberous root (Trichosanthes kirilowii root), fruit (whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root), pericarp (Trichosanthes kirilowii peel), and seeds (Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds) are all listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Among them, whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root has the effects of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, relieving chest congestion and dispersing nodules, and moistening dryness and lubricating the intestines. Traditionally, it is used to treat cough due to lung heat, thick yellow phlegm, chest pain, chest tightness and fullness, mastitis, lung abscess, intestinal abscess, and constipation. In modern clinical practice, it is also used to treat lung cancer, bronchial cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, and colon cancer. Modern medicine believes that Trichosanthes kirilowii root has a good effect on coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Its seeds (Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds) and pericarp (Trichosanthes kirilowii peel) can also be used as medicine, with effects similar to those of the fruit (whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root). In the past, Trichosanthes kirilowii was mostly sliced manually with a single knife, which easily crushed the seeds and resulted in low overall utilization of the fruit.
[0004] Therefore, the above problems are solved by using a Trichosanthes kirilowii crushing box. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a Trichosanthes kirilowii crushing box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a base plate is included, a holding bucket is provided at the top of the base plate, a filtering mechanism is slidably arranged inside the holding bucket, the filtering mechanism is used to filter the pulp and seeds of the trichosanthes fruit, and a separation mechanism is provided inside the filtering mechanism, the separation mechanism is used to separate the pulp and seeds of the trichosanthes fruit.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Trichosanthes kirilowii can be divided into two main categories: medicinal Trichosanthes kirilowii and edible Trichosanthes kirilowii. Edible Trichosanthes kirilowii is one of the ideal ingredients for nutritional foods and health foods, and has a broad market prospect.
[0023] Medicinal Trichosanthes kirilowii refers to the mature fruit of the Cucurbita trichosanthes or Trichosanthes spp., belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. Its tuberous root (Trichosanthes kirilowii root), fruit (whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root), pericarp (Trichosanthes kirilowii peel), and seeds (Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds) are all listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Among them, whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root has the effects of clearing heat and resolving phlegm, relieving chest congestion and dispersing nodules, and moistening dryness and lubricating the intestines. Traditionally, it is used to treat cough due to lung heat, thick yellow phlegm, chest pain, chest tightness and fullness, mastitis, lung abscess, intestinal abscess, and constipation. In modern clinical practice, it is also used to treat lung cancer, bronchial cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer, and colon cancer. Modern medicine believes that Trichosanthes kirilowii root has a good effect on coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. Its seeds (Trichosanthes kirilowii seeds) and pericarp (Trichosanthes kirilowii peel) can also be used as medicine, with effects similar to those of the fruit (whole Trichosanthes kirilowii root). In the past, Trichosanthes kirilowii was mostly sliced manually with a single knife, which easily crushed the seeds and resulted in low overall utilization of the fruit.
[0024] The patent, titled "A Trichosanthes kirilowii Cutting Device" and with application number 2024228585640, mentions that the top of both ends of the cutting section 31 is provided with chamfers 33. The intersection of the chamfers 33 at both ends of the cutting section 31 and the top plane of the cutting section 31 forms a sharp edge. When encountering semi-dry Trichosanthes kirilowii with a hardened skin, the operator can use the aforementioned sharp edge to first crack an opening in the Trichosanthes kirilowii, and then use the cutting section 31 to cut the Trichosanthes kirilowii in half. No other additional tools are needed to process the Trichosanthes kirilowii in the aforementioned situation, which improves the cutting efficiency of the operator. After the Trichosanthes kirilowii is cut into half, the pulp and peel of the Trichosanthes kirilowii are separated by external equipment. The separated pulp is then placed into the filter mechanism 4 to separate the pulp from the seeds.
[0025] The aforementioned patent is incorporated into the preliminary steps of this device, in which the Trichosanthes kirilowii is cut and then the pulp is separated from the peel using an external pulp-removing device. This application describes the crushing and separation of the pulp and seeds.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 4 The diagram shows a Trichosanthes kirilowii crushing box, which includes a base plate 1. A holding bucket 2 is provided at the top of the base plate 1. A filter mechanism 4 is slidably arranged inside the holding bucket 2. The filter mechanism 4 is used to filter the pulp and seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii. A separation mechanism 5 is provided inside the filter mechanism 4. The separation mechanism 5 is used to separate the pulp and seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii.
[0027] The base plate 1 supports and stabilizes the holding bucket 2, preventing the holding bucket 2 from tilting or tipping over during use, thus avoiding waste of the melon pulp.
[0028] The separated melon pulp is placed into the filtering mechanism 4, which is placed inside the holding bucket 2. The filtering mechanism 4 filters out the loose melon pulp and it flows to the bottom of the holding bucket 2. Then, the melon pulp and seeds are separated by the separating mechanism 5. The separated melon pulp flows into the holding bucket 2 through the filtering mechanism 4, while the seeds remain inside the filtering mechanism 4, thus achieving the effect of separating the melon pulp and seeds.
[0029] Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the holding tank 2 is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves 201, which are used for the installation and positioning of the filter mechanism 4.
[0030] The sliding grooves 201 of the holding tank 2 are symmetrically arranged to facilitate the installation of the filter mechanism 4. At the same time, the position of the filter mechanism 4 in the sliding grooves 201 is limited to prevent the filter mechanism 4 from rotating inside the holding tank 2 during the movement of the separation mechanism 5.
[0031] Furthermore, the filter mechanism 4 includes an inner barrel 401, a sliding block 402 is symmetrically mounted on the outer circumference of the inner barrel 401, the sliding block 402 is engaged with the sliding groove 201, and a handle block 403 is symmetrically mounted on the outer circumference of the inner barrel 401.
[0032] The inner barrel 401 of the filter mechanism 4 is placed inside the holding barrel 2. The sliding block 402 of the inner barrel 401 is engaged with the sliding groove 201, which limits the position of the inner barrel 401. Furthermore, there is a certain distance between the inner barrel 401 and the bottom of the holding barrel 2, which facilitates the flow of the pulp into the holding barrel 2 and prevents the pulp from accumulating inside the inner barrel 401.
[0033] The handle block 403 is used to separate the inner bucket 401 from the holding bucket 2, so that the inner bucket 401 can be separated from the inside of the holding bucket 2, and further, it is convenient to pour out the sunflower seeds after separation.
[0034] Furthermore, a filter hole 404 is provided at the bottom end of the inner barrel 401.
[0035] The filter hole 404 of the inner bucket 401 facilitates the flow of melon pulp into the holding bucket 2. The diameter of the filter hole 404 is smaller than the smallest diameter of the melon seeds, preventing the melon seeds from flowing into the holding bucket 2 through the filter hole 404. The melon pulp, however, can flow into the holding bucket 2 through the filter hole 404. The melon pulp flows into the holding bucket 2 through the filter hole 404 due to the fluidity of the melon flesh and the moisture in the flesh. When one of the melon pulp segments lies horizontally on the end face of the filter hole 404, the juice inside the flesh flows. When the juice flows towards the horizontal melon pulp segment, it can be driven by gravity to flow into the holding bucket 2. Therefore, it is not necessary to consider the melon pulp being placed horizontally on the end face of the filter hole 404.
[0036] Furthermore, a separation mechanism 5 is fixed to the bottom of the inner barrel 401.
[0037] Separation mechanism 5 is used to separate the pulp from the seeds.
[0038] Furthermore, the separation mechanism 5 includes a stirring ring 503, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner barrel 401, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a movable shaft 501, the other end of which is a connection point 502.
[0039] One end of the stirring ring 503 of the separation mechanism 5 is connected to the bottom of the inner barrel 401 to fix the stirring ring 503, and the other end is connected to the movable shaft 501. The stirring ring 503 is olive-shaped and is made of elastic metal wire spiral. The right angles at both ends are smaller than the diameter of the middle part.
[0040] Pulling the movable shaft 501 causes the stirring ring 503 to deform, and then it is sent to the movable shaft 501 to return the stirring ring 503 to its original shape. During the return process, the stirring ring 503 will generate periodic oscillations. During the oscillation, the stirring ring 503 drives the pulp and seeds to vibrate up and down. Through oscillation, the pulp and seeds are separated, achieving the effect of separating the seeds from the pulp. This method of separation can also avoid the stirring ring 503 from damaging the seeds. The stirring ring 503 only generates periodic oscillations and does not directly contact the seeds, greatly reducing the damage rate of the seeds.
[0041] Furthermore, this also avoids the melon pulp and seeds flying out of the inner barrel 401 due to excessive vibration.
[0042] After separation, the pulp and seeds are separated. The pulp flows into the container 2 and flows out through the discharge port 3.
[0043] Working principle
[0044] The separated melon pulp is placed into the filtering mechanism 4, which is placed inside the holding tank 2. The filtering mechanism 4 filters out the loose melon pulp and it flows to the bottom of the holding tank 2. Then, the melon pulp is separated from the melon seeds by the separation mechanism 5. The movable shaft 501 is pulled to deform the stirring ring 503. Then, it is sent to the movable shaft 501 to return the stirring ring 503 to its original shape. During the return to its original shape, the stirring ring 503 will generate periodic oscillation. During the oscillation, the stirring ring 503 drives the melon pulp and melon seeds to move. During the movement, the melon pulp and melon seeds are separated, achieving the effect of separating the melon seeds from the melon pulp.
[0045] Afterwards, the separated melon pulp flows through the filter hole 404 into the interior of the holding bucket 2, while the melon seeds remain inside the inner bucket 401. Then, the handle block 403 is lifted. The handle block 403 is used to separate the inner bucket 401 from the holding bucket 2, making it easier for the inner bucket 401 to detach from the interior of the holding bucket 2, and further, making it easier to pour out the separated melon seeds. Then, the inner bucket 401 is rinsed with external clean water to wash out any remaining melon seeds, and the inner bucket 401 is cleaned at the same time to avoid affecting the next use.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] The other end of the movable shaft 501 is the connector 502.
[0048] The connection 502 of the movable shaft 501 can be connected to an external telescopic mechanism. The external telescopic mechanism drives the movable shaft 501 to move. The movable shaft 501 extends and retracts, causing the stirring ring 503 to deform. Then, it is sent to the movable shaft 501 to return the stirring ring 503 to its original shape. During the process of returning to its original shape, the stirring ring 503 will generate periodic oscillations.
[0049] The connection 502 can be either threaded or snap-fit. The specific connection method can be selected according to the actual use. The movable shaft 501 is driven by an external telescopic mechanism, which reduces the workload of the staff.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
