Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gorgon fruit processing technology, specifically a device for breaking open the shell and extracting the kernel of gorgon fruit. Background Technology

[0002] Fox nuts, a traditional food and medicinal resource, are widely used in food processing, medicine, and health care due to their rich content of starch, protein, and various trace elements. However, the processing of fox nuts, especially the shelling and kernel extraction step, has long faced a technical bottleneck of low efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the processing industry for water chestnuts generally uses manual rolling to break the shells. This process relies on operators repeatedly rolling the water chestnuts with simple tools such as wooden sticks and mortars to mechanically break their hard outer shells. Uneven application of force can easily lead to incomplete shell breaking, requiring repeated rolling. In addition, continuous rolling can easily cause muscle fatigue in the operators' hands, and the continuous working time per day is usually no more than 4 hours, which limits the increase in production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for breaking open the shell and extracting the kernel of fox nuts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for shelling and extracting kernels from water chestnuts, including a shelling platform, the upper surface of which is used to place multiple water chestnuts; two pillars are fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the shelling platform, a sliding rod is fixed between the two pillars on the same side, a linkage plate is slidably sleeved between the two sliding rods, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the shelling platform, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the linkage plate, support plates are vertically welded to both ends of the upper surface of the linkage plate, a flipping shaft is rotatably provided between the two support plates, an extension rod is fixedly welded to the outer wall of both ends of the flipping shaft, and a rolling cylinder for simultaneously rolling multiple water chestnuts is rotatably provided between the ends of the two extension rods.

[0006] In a further embodiment, a linkage spindle is rotatably provided between the top ends of the two support plates. A threaded rod is threaded through the radial side wall of the linkage spindle. A guide rod is slidably inserted at the end of the threaded rod. A thickened part is provided at the end of the guide rod. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod, which abuts against the threaded rod and the thickened part respectively. A connecting rod is rotatably provided between the two extension rods. The thickened part is fixedly connected to the radial outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0007] In a further embodiment, when the threaded rod is rotated, it is used to adjust the distance between the threaded rod and the thickened part, while the guide rod slides relative to the threaded rod along the axial direction.

[0008] In a further embodiment, when the threaded rod rotates forward, the distance between the threaded rod and the thickened part is shortened, the spring is compressed, generating a larger rebound energy, thereby increasing the rolling force of the rolling cylinder.

[0009] In a further embodiment, when the threaded rod is reversed, the distance between the threaded rod and the thickened part is increased, the spring loses its compressive force, and thus the rolling force of the rolling cylinder is reduced.

[0010] In a further embodiment, lifting rods are slidably inserted into the upper surfaces of the two opposing pillars on both sides, and a baffle is fixed between the ends of the two lifting rods. Multiple spikes are fixed on the side wall of the baffle facing the rolling cylinder for obliquely piercing the shell of the water chestnut.

[0011] In a further embodiment, the upper surface of the shell-breaking platform is provided with a frosted support surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention relates to a device for cracking and extracting kernels from water chestnuts. By adjusting the compression of the spring with a threaded rod, the rolling pressure of the rolling cylinder can be precisely controlled, ensuring that each water chestnut is cracked under appropriate pressure. This improves the success rate and quality of cracking, reduces the need for secondary processing due to incomplete cracking, and enables simultaneous rolling and cracking of multiple water chestnuts. It avoids the problem of incomplete cracking caused by uneven manual force application. Compared with traditional manual rolling and pressing, multiple water chestnuts can be processed in one operation, shortening the cracking time of a single water chestnut and significantly improving the overall cracking efficiency, thereby enhancing the production efficiency of the entire water chestnut processing flow.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] This embodiment provides a device for breaking the shell and extracting the kernel of Euryale ferox, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a shell-breaking platform 1, the upper surface of which is used to place multiple water chestnuts; the upper surface of the shell-breaking platform 1 is provided with a frosted support surface 11, which can increase the friction between the water chestnuts and the shell-breaking platform 1, and prevent the water chestnuts from sliding during the shell-breaking process, thus affecting the effective shell-breaking operation.

[0017] Two support pillars 2 are fixed to both sides of the upper end face of the hatching platform 1. A sliding rod 21 is fixed between the two support pillars 2 on the same side. A linkage plate 22 is slidably sleeved between the sliding rods 21 on both sides. A hydraulic cylinder 210 is fixedly installed on the hatching platform 1. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 210 is fixedly connected to the linkage plate 22. When the hydraulic cylinder 210 is working, its piston rod extends or retracts, driving the linkage plate 22 to perform reciprocating linear motion on the sliding rod 21.

[0018] Support plates 23 are vertically welded to both ends of the upper surface of the linkage plate 22. A flipping shaft 24 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 23. Extension rods 25 are fixedly welded to the outer walls of both ends of the flipping rod. A rolling cylinder 26 for simultaneously rolling multiple water chestnuts is rotatably connected between the ends of the two extension rods 25. When the linkage plate 22 moves, it drives the support plates 23, the flipping shaft 24, the extension rods 25 and the rolling cylinder 26 to move together. During the movement, the rolling cylinder 26 rolls and breaks the water chestnuts placed on the shell-breaking platform 1.

[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, a linkage spindle 28 is rotatably provided between the top ends of the two support plates 23. A threaded rod 29 is threaded through the radial side wall of the linkage spindle 28. A guide rod is slidably inserted at the end of the threaded rod 29. A thickened part 211 is provided at the end of the guide rod. A spring 212 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod, which abuts against the threaded rod 29 and the thickened part 211 respectively. A connecting rod 27 is rotatably provided between the two extension rods 25. The thickened part 211 is fixedly connected to the radial outer wall of the connecting rod 27.

[0020] When the threaded rod 29 is rotated, it is used to adjust the distance between the threaded rod 29 and the thickened part 211, while the guide rod slides relative to the threaded rod 29 along the axial direction.

[0021] When the threaded rod 29 is rotated forward, the distance between the threaded rod 29 and the thickened portion 211 is shortened, the spring 212 is compressed, generating a large rebound energy, thereby increasing the rolling force of the rolling cylinder 26. When the threaded rod 29 is rotated in reverse, the distance between the threaded rod 29 and the thickened portion 211 is increased, the spring 212 loses its compressive force, thereby decreasing the rolling force of the rolling cylinder 26. In other words, when it is necessary to adjust the rolling force of the rolling cylinder 26, the threaded rod 29 is rotated. When the threaded rod 29 is rotated forward, the threaded rod 29 moves along its axial direction towards the thickened portion 211, shortening the distance between the threaded rod 29 and the thickened portion 211, compressing the spring 212, generating a large rebound energy, thereby increasing the rolling force of the rolling cylinder 26; when the threaded rod 29 is rotated in reverse, the threaded rod 29 moves away from the thickened portion 211 along its axial direction, increasing the distance between the threaded rod 29 and the thickened portion 211, the spring 212 loses its compressive force, thereby decreasing the rolling force of the rolling cylinder 26.

[0022] By adjusting the compression of the spring 212 via the threaded rod 29, the rolling pressure of the rolling cylinder 26 can be precisely controlled, ensuring that each water chestnut is cracked under appropriate pressure. This improves the success rate and quality of cracking, reduces secondary processing required due to incomplete cracking, and enables simultaneous rolling and cracking of multiple water chestnuts, avoiding incomplete cracking caused by uneven manual force application. Compared to traditional manual rolling and pressing, multiple water chestnuts can be processed in one operation, shortening the cracking time of a single water chestnut and significantly improving overall cracking efficiency, thereby enhancing the production efficiency of the entire water chestnut processing flow.

[0023] Traditional manual rolling requires operators to perform repetitive actions continuously, which easily leads to hand muscle fatigue and limits the continuous working time per day. In contrast, the operator of this device only needs to control the hydraulic cylinder 210 and the threaded rod 29, eliminating the need for high-intensity repetitive physical labor. This effectively reduces labor intensity, extends the operator's sustainable working time, and further improves productivity.

[0024] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, lifting rods 3 are slidably inserted into the upper surfaces of the two opposing support columns 2 on both sides. A baffle 31 is fixed between the ends of the two lifting rods 3. Multiple sharp spikes 32 are fixed on the side wall of the baffle 31 facing the rolling cylinder 26 for obliquely piercing the shell of the water chestnut. In use, the height of the lifting rods 3 can be adjusted according to the size and hardness of the water chestnut so that the sharp spikes 32 can obliquely pierce the shell of the water chestnut, assisting the rolling cylinder 26 in completing the shell-breaking operation.

[0025] During shelling, multiple water chestnuts are placed on the frosted support surface 11 of the shelling platform 1. Based on the characteristics of the water chestnuts, the threaded rod 29 is rotated to adjust the compression of the spring 212, thereby setting a suitable rolling pressure for the rolling cylinder 26. Then, the height of the lifting rod 3 is adjusted so that the spiked pieces 32 on the baffle 31 are in the appropriate position to assist in shelling. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 210 is activated. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 210 drives the linkage plate 22 to move downwards on the slide rod 21. The linkage plate 22, through the support plate 23, the tilting shaft 24, and the extension rod 25, drives the rolling cylinder 26 downwards, simultaneously rolling and crushing the water chestnuts during its movement. During this process, the spiked pieces 32 on the baffle 31 obliquely pierce the water chestnut shell, assisting in the shelling process.

[0026] After the shell is broken, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 210 retracts, driving the linkage plate 22 and the rolling cylinder 26 to move upward and return to the initial position, so as to carry out the next shell breaking operation.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
