Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of camellia fruit processing technology, and in particular to a camellia oil raw material drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Camellia oleifera is an important economic crop, and the camellia oil extracted from its seeds has extremely high nutritional and economic value, making it highly sought after in the market.

[0003] Drying is a crucial step in processing camellia fruit into camellia oil. After drying, the fruit shell will naturally crack, allowing some of the seeds to separate from the shell. This lays the foundation for subsequent seed extraction and camellia oil production.

[0004] However, most current methods and equipment for drying camellia oleifera fruit focus solely on the simple drying process, neglecting the potential advantages arising from the physical changes that occur during the drying process. Specifically, the phenomenon of the fruit shell cracking and the separation of seeds from the shell during drying is not fully utilized. Existing drying equipment does not organically link the drying and shelling processes. After drying, an additional shelling process is required to further process the dried fruit and separate the seeds from the shell. This increases the complexity of the production process, requiring multiple handling and transfers of the fruit from drying to shelling, consuming significant manpower and time. Furthermore, the need for additional shelling equipment increases equipment purchase and site rental costs, raising overall production costs.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a camellia oil raw material drying device has been designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a camellia oil raw material drying device to solve the problem in related technologies that the drying process of camellia fruit and the shelling and separation process are not organically linked, and an additional shelling and separation process is required after drying.

[0007] In a first aspect, a camellia oil raw material drying device is provided, comprising: The frame, on which brackets are arranged; A drying box is mounted on a bracket. The drying box has a chamber, and a screen is installed inside the chamber. The screen divides the chamber into an upper drying chamber for placing camellia fruits and a lower fruit chamber for collecting shelled camellia seeds. The pushing mechanism includes a shaking table rotatably mounted on a frame, a driving component arranged below the frame, a bracket rotatably connected to the shaking table, and the driving component driving the shaking table to reciprocate. A drying mechanism, which is installed on a drying chamber, is used to heat and dry the chamber.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper part of the drying chamber is provided with interconnected feeding hoppers, and the end of the drying chamber away from the feeding hopper is provided with a slag discharge port; A discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the fruit and material chamber, away from the feeding hopper.

[0009] In some embodiments, the screen has multiple through holes for filtering tea seeds; The end of the screen near the slag discharge port is inclined downwards.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bracket includes crossbeams arranged opposite each other above the frame, and a plurality of mounting strips are arranged sequentially between the tops of the two crossbeams, the mounting strips being U-shaped; The drying chamber is positioned between the plurality of mounting strips.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shaking table includes two crossbeams positioned opposite each other above the frame. Each crossbeam is rotatably equipped with a plurality of rotating shafts, which are distributed along the length of the frame. A rocker arm is provided at the other end of each rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the middle of the rocker arm. The upper end of the rocker arm is rotatably equipped with a second rotating shaft, and the other end of the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the corresponding crossbeam. The bottom end of the rocker arm is rotatably equipped with a rotating shaft.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drive includes: The base is located at the bottom of the frame; A hinged base is mounted on the base; A cylinder that is hinged to the hinge seat; Hinge seat two connected to the cylinder piston rod; An I-beam is arranged below the bracket, and two crossbeams are provided on both sides of the I-beam; The second hinge seat is located in the middle of the I-beam, and the other end of the third pivot is rotatably connected to the corresponding third crossbeam.

[0013] In some embodiments, the drying mechanism includes a housing disposed on a drying chamber, a second through hole connected to each other between the housing and the drying chamber, a plurality of fans embedded above the housing, and a plurality of electric heating tubes located above the second through hole inside the housing.

[0014] This application provides a camellia oil raw material drying equipment. Through a drying box, a pushing mechanism, and a drying mechanism, the drying and shelling separation processes of camellia fruit can be organically combined. During the drying process, the shell of the camellia fruit naturally cracks when heated, and the tea seeds separate from the shell. Through the screening action of the screen, the automatic separation of tea seeds and shells is realized, which simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency.

[0015] The drying and pushing mechanisms can cause the drying chamber to shake, which can effectively promote the turning of the camellia fruit in the drying chamber, making the drying more uniform, and also helps the tea seeds to be sieved through the screen. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] This application provides a camellia oil raw material drying device, which can solve the problem in related technologies that the drying process of camellia fruit and the shelling and separation process are not organically linked, and an additional shelling and separation process is required after drying.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-3 A camellia oil raw material drying device includes: a frame 1 on which a bracket 2 is arranged; a drying chamber 3 on the bracket 2, the drying chamber 3 having a chamber 4, the chamber 4 having a screen 5 inside, the screen 5 dividing the chamber 4 into an upper drying chamber 41 for placing camellia fruits and a lower fruit chamber 42 for collecting shelled camellia seeds; a pushing mechanism 6 including a shaking table 61 rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and a driving component 62 arranged below the frame 1, the bracket 2 being rotatably connected to the shaking table 61, the driving component 62 driving the shaking table 61 to reciprocate; and a drying mechanism 7 mounted on the drying chamber 3 for heating and drying the chamber 4.

[0022] The camellia fruit to be dried is placed into the drying chamber 41, at which point the camellia fruit is positioned above the screen 5.

[0023] The drying mechanism 7 starts working and heats and dries the camellia fruit in the drying chamber 41. During the drying process, the camellia fruit is heated and its shell gradually cracks open naturally, and some tea seeds separate from the shell.

[0024] During the drying process, the drive unit 62 is activated, causing the shaker 61 to reciprocate around its rotational connection point with the frame 1. The bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the shaker 61, which in turn drives the drying chamber 3 to shake. The separated tea seeds fall through the screen 5 into the lower fruit chamber 42 for collection, while impurities such as fruit shells remain in the drying chamber 41.

[0025] The drying chamber 3, the pushing mechanism 6, and the drying mechanism 7 can organically combine the drying and shelling processes of camellia fruit. During the drying process, the shell of the camellia fruit naturally cracks when heated, and the tea seeds separate from the shell. Through the screening action of the screen 5, the tea seeds and shells are automatically separated, which simplifies the production process and improves production efficiency.

[0026] The drying mechanism 7 and the pushing mechanism 6 can drive the drying box 3 to shake, which can effectively promote the turning of the camellia fruit in the drying chamber 41, making the drying more uniform, and at the same time help the tea seeds to be screened through the screen 5.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper part of the drying chamber 41 is provided with a feeding hopper 411 that is interconnected with each other, and the end of the drying chamber 41 away from the feeding hopper 411 is provided with a slag discharge port 412; the bottom of the fruit material chamber 42 is provided with a discharge pipe 421 away from the feeding hopper 411.

[0028] A cover plate is hinged to the slag discharge port 421, and the cover plate is connected to the drying box 3 by a locking mechanism.

[0029] The camellia fruit to be processed is fed into the drying chamber 41 through the feeding hopper 411 located at the top of the drying chamber 41. The interconnected design of the feeding hoppers 411 allows the camellia fruit to enter the drying chamber 41 smoothly, and the amount of material fed can be easily controlled according to actual production needs.

[0030] After the drying and sieving process is completed, the tea seeds can be smoothly discharged from the discharge pipe 421 under the action of gravity.

[0031] The slag discharge port 412 is located at the end of the drying chamber 41 away from the feeding hopper 411. After drying and separation are completed, the cover can be lifted by opening the latch. The pushing mechanism 6 drives the drying box 3 to continue to shake back and forth, and the fruit shells are discharged from the slag discharge port 412.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it should be noted that the screen 5 in this embodiment has multiple through holes 51 for filtering tea seeds; the end of the screen 5 near the slag discharge port is inclined downward.

[0033] The screen 5 serves as a separation component in the drying chamber 41. The through holes 51 on it ensure that the tea seeds can pass through smoothly, while effectively blocking larger impurities such as fruit shells.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bracket 2 includes crossbeams 21 arranged opposite each other above the frame 1, and a plurality of mounting strips 22 are arranged sequentially between the two crossbeams 21, the mounting strips 22 being U-shaped; the drying box 3 is disposed between the plurality of mounting strips 22.

[0035] The bracket 2 forms a stable support frame foundation through the crossbeams 21 arranged opposite to each other above the frame 1. The two crossbeams 21 provide a horizontal and stable mounting surface for the subsequent installation of other components.

[0036] Based on this, multiple U-shaped mounting strips 22 provide installation space for the drying chamber 3. The U-shaped structure of the mounting strips 22 can effectively fix and support the drying chamber 3, ensuring that the drying chamber 3 is fixed and stable on the bracket 2, and will not shake or shift during operation, thus ensuring the stable operation of the entire drying equipment.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the shaker 61 includes two crossbeams 611 positioned opposite each other above the frame 1. Each crossbeam 611 is rotatably equipped with multiple rotating shafts 612, which are distributed along the length of the frame 1. A rocker arm 613 is mounted at the other end of each rotating shaft 612, and the rotating shaft 612 is connected to the middle of the rocker arm 613. A second rotating shaft 614 is rotatably mounted at the upper end of the rocker arm 613, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 614 is rotatably connected to a corresponding crossbeam 21. A third rotating shaft 615 is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the rocker arm 613.

[0038] Furthermore, the driving component 62 includes: a base 621 arranged at the bottom of the frame 1; a hinge seat 622 arranged on the base 621; a cylinder 623 hinged to the hinge seat 622; a hinge seat 624 connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 623; an I-beam 625 arranged below the bracket 2, with crossbeams 626 arranged on both sides of the I-beam 625; the hinge seat 624 is located in the middle of the I-beam 625, and the other end of the rotating shaft 615 is rotatably connected to the corresponding crossbeam 626.

[0039] After the equipment is started, cylinder 623 begins to work. Cylinder 623 is hinged to hinge seat 622, giving cylinder 623 a certain degree of freedom to swing. Since the entire shaker 61 and drying chamber 3 will produce complex movements, the swing of cylinder 623 can well adapt to the angle changes brought about by these movements, avoiding stress concentration and structural damage caused by rigid connection, and ensuring the stability of power transmission.

[0040] The piston rod of cylinder 623 performs reciprocating linear motion, and the power of linear motion is initially transmitted through the second hinge seat 624 connected to it. The second hinge seat 624 is tightly connected to the middle of the I-beam 625. When the piston rod of cylinder 623 extends or retracts, it applies a force to the I-beam 625, causing the I-beam 625 to produce a reciprocating motion.

[0041] The crossbeams 626 on both sides of the I-beam 625 play a role in stabilizing and assisting in the transmission of power. The crossbeams 626 and the I-beam 625 form an integral frame structure. When the I-beam 625 reciprocates, the crossbeams 626 can share part of the force, reduce the local stress on the I-beam 625, make the power transmission more uniform and stable, and also improve the fatigue resistance and service life of the entire drive component 62.

[0042] Since the other end of the pivot 615 is rotatably connected to the corresponding crossbeam 626, the reciprocating motion of the I-beam 625 is transmitted to the pivot 615 through the crossbeam 626. The pivot 615 can rotate flexibly, converting the linear reciprocating motion of the I-beam 625 into rotational motion, and transmitting it to the rocker arm 613.

[0043] The rocker arm 613 is connected to the third rotating shaft 615 in the middle. When the third rotating shaft 615 rotates, it will drive the rocker arm 613 to move. One end of the second rotating shaft 614 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rocker arm 613, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding crossbeam 21, so that the rocker arm 613 can swing with the second rotating shaft 614 as the fulcrum.

[0044] The swing of the upper end of the rocker arm 613 is transmitted to the bracket 2 through the rotating shaft 614. Since the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 3, it ultimately drives the drying chamber 3 to shake. During the drying process, the shaking of the drying chamber 3 ensures that the camellia fruit is heated evenly; during the sieving stage, it helps to separate the tea seeds and the fruit shells.

[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the drying mechanism 7 includes a housing 71 disposed on the drying chamber 3, with a through hole 72 connecting the housing 71 and the drying chamber 41. A plurality of fans 73 are embedded above the housing 71, and a plurality of electric heating tubes 74 located above the through hole 72 are disposed inside the housing 71. The fan housings are integrally welded to the housing 71.

[0046] When the equipment starts the drying function, the electric heating element 74 begins to work.

[0047] When the electric heating tube 74 is powered on, it generates a large amount of heat, causing the ambient air temperature to rise rapidly. At the same time, the fan 73 on the housing 71 also starts to operate. The outer shell of the fan 73 is integrally welded to the housing 71, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fan 73 and the housing 71.

[0048] When the fan 73 is running, it accelerates the airflow inside the housing 71, quickly blowing the hot air around the electric heating tube 74 to form a hot airflow with a certain flow rate. Under the action of the fan 73, the hot airflow flows downward along the inside of the housing 71 and enters the drying chamber 41 through the second through hole 72, so that the hot air can be evenly distributed in the drying chamber 41, avoiding local overheating or overcooling.

[0049] The hot air entering the drying chamber 41 comes into full contact with the camellia fruit placed inside the drying chamber 41. The hot air transfers its own heat to the camellia fruit, causing the moisture in the camellia fruit to evaporate.

[0050] In actual operation, as the drying process continues, the humidity in the drying chamber 41 gradually increases. To address this issue, a ventilation mesh is embedded in the cover plate of this embodiment to expel moisture and ensure air circulation in the drying chamber 41.
