Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nut processing equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency peeling device for macadamia nuts. Background Technology

[0002] Macadamia nuts are loved by consumers for their unique flavor and rich nutritional value. Before entering the market, their hard shells need to undergo a special peeling process. To meet the needs of large-scale production, mechanized macadamia nut peeling equipment has been widely used. These equipment process the nuts through an internal peeling mechanism, which significantly improves production efficiency.

[0003] In conventional peeling equipment, the core component that performs the peeling function, the peeling rotary machine, is usually fixedly installed inside the machine casing. This design reveals significant defects after long-term operation: during the peeling process, a large amount of fruit peel debris, dust, and grease will inevitably be generated. These residues will adhere to and accumulate on the surface of the peeling components and the inner wall of the machine casing.

[0004] The accumulation of these residues not only affects the normal working efficiency and peeling effect of the peeling mechanism, but more seriously, it poses a serious hygiene hazard in the food processing field, easily breeding bacteria and contaminating products. Because the core components are deeply embedded in the machine casing by means of bolt fastening or integrated welding, it becomes extremely difficult to thoroughly clean and maintain them, requiring a lot of time to disassemble and reassemble. This directly leads to long-term downtime of the equipment and seriously restricts the overall production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, this invention proposes a highly efficient macadamia nut peeling device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the problems in the existing high-efficiency macadamia nut peeling devices, such as the difficulty in disassembling and cleaning the core components that perform the peeling function, and the easy adhesion of debris and residue to the surface of the nuts after peeling, which are inconvenient to clean, this utility model aims to provide a macadamia nut peeling device with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0007] This utility model provides a high-efficiency peeling device for macadamia nuts, including: a shell, a locking shell, a peeling rotating machine, a slide, a slider, a locking ring, a locking block, a locking groove, a fixed shaft, and an elastic hook.

[0008] The chuck is configured as a module to carry the peeling rotating machine and is detachably slidably fitted inside the outer shell. A groove extending along its length is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell, and a slider that slides in cooperation with the groove is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chuck. The cooperation structure between the slider and the groove ensures that the chuck can maintain stable guidance during the extraction and insertion process.

[0009] Furthermore, the core innovative components of the outer shell, the retaining shell, and the quick-release mechanism are combined through a unique cooperation method: the locking component of the quick-release mechanism includes a retaining ring fixedly connected to the outside of the retaining shell, the retaining ring being configured as a guide rail for the engaging block, the engaging block being slidably disposed on the retaining ring along the track of the retaining ring, and the wall of the outer shell having an engaging groove for the engaging block to be inserted to achieve radial locking; in addition, a fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell, and an elastic hook is pivotally connected to the retaining shell, one end of the elastic hook being detachably engaged with the fixed shaft, thereby providing axial fastening and locking, realizing quick disassembly and assembly under double locking.

[0010] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the end of the chuck away from the elastic hook. The handle allows the operator to apply pushing or pulling force to drive the slider to slide smoothly along the groove, thereby realizing the quick extraction and insertion of the chuck.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the outer shell is fixedly connected to a feeding hopper by screws, and the feeding hopper is designed to facilitate the user to pour out the macadamia nut material to be processed.

[0012] Preferably, the housing is supported on the working plane by a frame at its bottom, and the frame has sufficient strength and rigidity to provide stable and reliable support for the entire device.

[0013] Preferably, the device further includes a cleaning mechanism disposed inside the housing and located below the discharge path of the peeling rotary machine. The cleaning mechanism includes a limiting plate, an inclined tube, and a discharge hopper connected in sequence. The limiting plate is used to guide the peeled nuts to accurately enter the inclined tube, and the discharge hopper is fixedly connected to the end of the inclined tube to collect the cleaned material, forming a complete material cleaning and conveying path.

[0014] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism further includes at least a sponge column, the axis of which is arranged transversely inside the inclined tube, and its soft outer peripheral surface extends into the material conveying channel of the inclined tube, thereby enabling it to make full contact and friction with the sliding nut surface.

[0015] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism further includes an electronic drive plate for driving the sponge column to rotate and at least a second gear; the output end of the electronic drive plate is connected to the second gear for transmission, and the second gear meshes with the end of the sponge column for transmission, thus forming a complete cleaning power system.

[0016] Preferably, there are multiple gears 2, which mesh with each other to synchronously drive multiple sponge columns to rotate. The design enables multi-point coordinated cleaning through a single drive system, significantly improving the cleaning efficiency and thoroughness of the nut surface along the inclined tube.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model solves the problems of complex connection and fixation between the core peeling component and the machine casing and difficult disassembly and cleaning in the prior art by setting a quick-release mechanism.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a highly efficient macadamia nut peeling device, which aims to solve the problems of difficult disassembly and maintenance of peeling components and inconvenient cleaning of residue on the surface of nuts after peeling in the prior art.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a high-efficiency macadamia nut peeling device includes a frame 5 as a basic framework and a shell 1 fixedly connected to the top of the frame 5. The shell 1 provides installation space and protection for the internal working parts. A retainer 201 is detachably slidably fitted inside the shell 1. The retainer 201 acts as a support module, and a peeling rotary machine 204 for performing nut peeling is rotatably connected inside it. To achieve stable sliding and disassembly, a groove 203 extending along its length is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1. A slider 202 that slides in cooperation with the groove 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the retainer 201. The cooperation structure between the slider 202 and the groove 203 ensures that the retainer 201 remains stable during the pulling process and does not shake or deflect.

[0025] To enable rapid locking and unlocking of the retaining clip 201 within the outer casing 1, the device is equipped with a quick-release mechanism 2, which includes a double-locking assembly; see reference. Figure 3 and Figure 4The first locking structure includes a retaining ring 205 fixedly connected to the outside of the retaining shell 201. The retaining ring 205 is configured as a guide rail, and the engaging block 207 is slidably disposed on the retaining ring 205 along the trajectory of the retaining ring 205. Correspondingly, an engaging groove 209 is provided on the wall of the outer shell 1. When the retaining shell 201 is fully pushed into the outer shell 1, the engaging block 207 can slide along the retaining ring 205 and insert into the engaging groove 209, thereby achieving radial locking. The second locking structure includes a fixed shaft 206 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 1, and an elastic hook 208 pivotally connected to the retaining shell 201. One end of the elastic hook 208 can be detachably engaged with the fixed shaft 206 to provide axial fastening force for the retaining shell 201 and prevent it from accidentally sliding out. To facilitate the operator to pull out the retaining shell 201, a handle 210 is also fixedly connected to the end of the retaining shell 201 away from the elastic hook 208.

[0026] To address the technical problem of inconvenient cleaning of residue on the surface of nuts after peeling, the core of the technical solution in this embodiment is that the high-efficiency macadamia nut peeling device also includes a cleaning mechanism 3 located inside the outer shell 1. Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 3 is located below the discharge path of the peeling rotary machine 204 and is used to clean the peeled nuts immediately.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The cleaning mechanism 3 constructs a complete material conveying and cleaning path, which includes a limiting plate 301, an inclined tube 305, and a discharge hopper 306 connected in sequence. The limiting plate 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and its position is directly below the peeling rotating machine 204, which is used to accurately guide the peeled nuts into the subsequent channel. The upper end of the inclined tube 305 is connected to the lower end of the limiting plate 301, and its tube body is inclined to convey nuts by gravity. The discharge hopper 306 is fixedly connected to the end of the inclined tube 305, which is used to finally collect the cleaned nut products. In order to facilitate the addition of raw materials into the device, the top of the outer shell 1 is also fixedly connected to the feed hopper 4 by screws 6.

[0028] A cleaning assembly is provided inside the inclined tube 305. The cleaning assembly includes at least one sponge column 304. The axis of the sponge column 304 is arranged transversely inside the inclined tube 305, and its outer peripheral surface extends into the material conveying channel of the inclined tube 305. When the nuts slide down the inclined tube 305, their surfaces will come into contact with and rub against the outer peripheral surface of the sponge column 304. In order to drive the sponge column 304 to rotate for efficient cleaning, the cleaning mechanism 3 is also provided with a drive system. The drive system includes an electronic drive board 302 and at least one gear 303. The output end of the electronic drive board 302 is connected to the gear 303 for transmission. The gear 303 meshes with the end of the sponge column 304 for transmission, thereby transmitting the power generated by the electronic drive board 302 to the sponge column 304, causing it to rotate around its own axis. In a preferred embodiment, there are multiple gears 303. Multiple gears 303 mesh with each other to synchronously drive multiple sponge columns 304 to rotate, thereby performing all-round rolling cleaning of the nut surface that passes through the inclined tube 305.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, to facilitate the push-pull operation of the retainer 201, a handle 210 is fixedly connected to the end of the retainer 201 away from the elastic hook 208. The operator can apply pulling or pushing force by holding the handle 210, thereby driving the slider 202 to slide along the slide groove 203, thereby realizing the extraction or insertion of the retainer 201.

[0030] As another preferred embodiment, in order to facilitate the addition of macadamia nuts to be processed into the device, a feed hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1 by screws 6. The feed hopper 4 has an open top opening, which facilitates the pouring and collection of materials.

[0031] As another preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the stability of the entire device during operation, the outer shell 1 is supported on the working plane by the frame 5 at its bottom. The frame 5 has sufficient strength and support area to provide stable support for the entire device and avoid displacement caused by vibration.

[0032] As a specific construction of the cleaning mechanism 3, refer to Figure 5 The material conveying path consists of a limiting plate 301, an inclined tube 305, and a discharge hopper 306 connected in sequence. The limiting plate 301 is used to guide the peeled nuts to accurately enter the inclined tube 305, while the discharge hopper 306 collects the processed nuts at the end of the inclined tube 305. The structure ensures the smooth and orderly flow of materials.

[0033] Based on the above-mentioned cleaning mechanism 3, in order to achieve the cleaning function, at least one sponge column 304 is provided inside the inclined tube 305. The axis of the sponge column 304 is arranged transversely inside the inclined tube 305, and its soft and elastic outer peripheral surface extends into the material conveying channel of the inclined tube 305, so as to make full frictional contact with the sliding nut surface.

[0034] To drive the sponge column 304 to rotate, the drive system of the cleaning mechanism 3 includes an electronic drive plate 302 and at least one gear 303. The output end of the electronic drive plate 302 is connected to the gear 303 for transmission, and the gear 303 meshes with the end of the sponge column 304 for transmission, forming a complete power chain from electrical energy to mechanical rotation.

[0035] As a highly efficient cleaning configuration, there can be multiple gears 303. Multiple gears 303 mesh with each other and engage with multiple sponge columns 304 for transmission. The design can achieve synchronous driving of multiple sponge columns 304 through an electronic drive board 302, thereby performing a more thorough and efficient rolling cleaning of the nut surface that passes through the inclined tube 305.

[0036] Working principle: When the internal parts of the machine need to be cleaned, the quick-release mechanism 2 can be used to disassemble the machine. First, open the elastic hook 208 fixed on the fixed shaft 206 on the outer wall of the outer casing 1, and disengage the elastic hook 208 from the fixed shaft 206. Then, pull the locking block 207 out of the locking groove 209 along the track of the locking ring 205. After both locking blocks 207 are pulled out, pull the handle 210 to pull the entire casing 201 out along the sliding groove 203 on the inner wall of the outer casing 1. The slider 202, which slides against the sliding groove 203, will ensure that the casing is securely locked. The stability of 201 when pulled out: After the entire housing 201 is fully pulled out, the peeling rotary machine 204 installed inside the housing 201 can be cleaned and replaced. During installation, align the slider 202 with the slide groove 203, grasp the elastic hook 208 and push it into the housing 1. After it is fully pushed in, push the locking block 207 along the locking ring 205 into the locking groove 209, and move the elastic hook 208 so that its other end is fixed on the fixed shaft 206. The quick-release mechanism 2 can quickly disassemble the machine, speed up the cleaning and maintenance process, and improve the convenience of use. When it is necessary to peel macadamia nuts, the unpeeled macadamia nuts are poured into the feed hopper 4, which is fixed to the top of the outer shell 1 with screws 6. The nuts enter the quick-release mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism 3 can better ensure the quality of the output. The limit plate 301 guides the peeled nuts into the inclined tube 305. The inclined tube 305 will convey the nuts downwards. The electronic drive board 302 is activated, which drives the gear 2 303, thereby driving all the meshing gears 2 303. The sponge column 304 below the gear 2 303 will rotate and clean the surface of the nuts that pass by. Finally, they enter the discharge hopper 306 along the inclined tube 305 to complete the collection. The cleaning mechanism 3 can solve the problem of broken shells sticking to the surface of the peeled nuts and ensure product quality. The frame 5 provides stable support for the entire machine.
