Description

A wet processing sesame kernel production line and process Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sesame kernel peeling and separation, and in particular to a production line and process for wet processing of sesame kernels. Background Art

[0002] Sesame, a major oilseed crop in my country, boasts high application value. It can be used for oil production or eaten directly. The hulls of sesame seeds account for 15-20% of the seed mass and contain significant amounts of oxalic acid and indigestible crude fiber. Therefore, comprehensive dehulling is crucial for expanding sesame's application in the food industry. Currently, there are two main methods for dehulling sesame seeds: dry and wet. The wet method, as opposed to the dry method, involves roasting the cleaned sesame seeds to a certain degree to quickly remove moisture from the hulls, creating a certain brittleness. The hulls are then removed by impact peeling. The wet method involves soaking the cleaned sesame seeds in water to swell and loosen the hulls. Mechanical friction is then used to remove the hulls, followed by washing or sieving to separate the hulls from the kernels. This process is also known as the washed sesame kernel production process.

[0003] The patent document with patent number CN104287060A discloses a sesame peeling and cleaning device, including a peeling device and a cleaning device; the peeling device includes a bracket, on which a peeling roller is tilted and higher on the left and lower on the right, the shaft of the peeling roller is connected to the power equipment, a mesh inner roller is provided in the peeling drum, and a brush is provided on the shaft inside the mesh inner roller; a feed pipe and a water inlet pipe are provided on the upper left end of the mesh inner roller, a drain pipe is provided at the bottom right end of the peeling drum, and a discharge port is provided at the lower part of the right end side of the peeling drum; the cleaning device includes an obliquely arranged vibrating screen trough, the left end of the vibrating screen trough corresponds to the sesame discharge port, the right end of the vibrating screen trough is provided with an outlet, and a material receiving trough is provided below the outlet; at least two rows of water spray horizontal pipes are provided above the vibrating screen trough, and water spray ports are provided below the water spray horizontal pipes. One end of the water spray horizontal pipes is connected to the water supply longitudinal pipe, and the water supply longitudinal pipe is connected to the vertically arranged water supply pipe.

[0004] However, during actual use, the inventors found that the existing wet sesame kernel processing technology has the following defects: the sesame seeds are easily damaged by strong mechanical friction during peeling, resulting in a high breakage rate of the sesame kernels, incomplete separation of the sesame kernels from the hulls, a low yield of the finished sesame kernels and a high rate of hull sticking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a rotating frame, a holding tank, a peeling mechanism, a soaking mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a feeding mechanism.

The slidable and rotatable holding tank cooperates with the peeling mechanism, so that when the holding tank cooperates with the cleaning mechanism, the cleaning effect and efficiency are improved, and incomplete separation of the kernel and a high rate of kernel sticking are avoided. The peeling mechanism gently peels the sesame seeds, resulting in a better processing effect and avoiding a high rate of sesame kernel breakage.

[0018] The present application also provides a wet processing sesame kernel production process, comprising the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: After the sesame seeds are fed into the holding tank through the feeding mechanism, the rotating frame rotates to transport the holding tank containing the sesame seeds to the soaking mechanism for preliminary soaking. At this time, the holding tank rotates and slides and cooperates with the flipping of the peeling mechanism to ensure that the sesame seeds are evenly soaked;

[0020] Step 2: After the initial soaking, the sesame seeds are transported to the cleaning mechanism through the rotating frame along with the holding tank for complete soaking. At the same time, the skins and kernels are evenly and gently separated by coordinating with the rotation and sliding of the holding tank and the flipping of the peeling mechanism. At this time, the moving holding tank forms a water flow in the cleaning mechanism to flush the sesame skins out of the holding tank for collection.

[0023] (1) In the present invention, a rotating frame is provided to transport the holding tank through the feeding mechanism, soaking mechanism, cleaning mechanism and drying mechanism in sequence, so that the sesame kernels are processed step by step on the production line. By providing a slidable and rotatable holding tank to cooperate with the peeling mechanism, the holding tank cooperates with the soaking mechanism, the cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism to improve the effect and efficiency of soaking, washing and drying. When the holding tank is rotated to each station through the rotating frame by the peeling mechanism, the peeling mechanism rotates to better cooperate with the devices on each station, so that the processing effect is better. By providing flexible rotating kneading leaves to gently peel the sesame seeds, the sesame kernels can be prevented from being broken.

[0024] (2) In the present invention, a pushing protrusion is provided to cooperate with the first elastic member to control the push plate to move back and forth in the air cavity while the container rotates, so that air flow is formed in the air outlet to blow the kneading leaves to rotate flexibly with the driving leaves to gently peel the sesame seeds, thereby avoiding the sesame kernels from being broken.

[0025] (3) By setting a rotatable and movable bucket in conjunction with the fourth elastic member, the first push plate, the second push plate and the locking member, the bucket can be controlled to rotate in or out of the cleaning pool to timely salvage the sesame skins and to pour out the sesame skins. When the bucket moves toward the first push plate until the first push plate pushes the bucket to rotate in the first direction to fish the sesame skins out of the cleaning pool, the locking member restricts the rotation of the bucket. When the bucket moves toward the second push plate until it moves to the outside of the cleaning pool, the second push plate pushes the bucket to force the locking member to open, and the bucket can be rotated in the second direction to pour out the sesame skins, completing the collection and cleaning of the sesame skins and avoiding incomplete separation of the skins and kernels and a high rate of skin sticking.

[0026] In summary, the equipment has the effects of reducing the breakage rate and skin sticking rate of sesame kernels, and is particularly suitable for the field of sesame kernel peeling and separation technology. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0046] As shown in Figure 1-17, a wet processing sesame kernel production line includes:

[0047] A rotating frame 1, a plurality of holding tanks 2 slidingly and rotatably arranged on the rotating frame 1 and provided with a plurality of hulling holes 21, a peeling mechanism 3 rotatably arranged inside the holding tank 2 and used for gently peeling the sesame seeds, a driving mechanism 4 arranged on the rotating frame 1 and used for driving the holding tank 2 and the peeling mechanism 3 to move, a soaking mechanism 5, a cleaning mechanism 6, a drying mechanism 7 and a feeding mechanism 8 sequentially arranged on the outside of the holding tank 2 along the rotation direction of the rotating frame 1, wherein the soaking mechanism 5 is used to soak the sesame seeds inside the holding tank 2, the cleaning mechanism 6 is used to clean the sesame seeds inside the holding tank 2 and collect the sesame hulls, the drying mechanism 7 is used to dry the sesame kernels inside the holding tank 2, and the feeding mechanism 8 is used to output the sesame kernels and input the sesame seeds into the holding tank 2;

[0048] The peeling mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 31 rotatably arranged in the containing tank 2, a scraper 32 arranged on the mounting base 31 and used to scrape off the sesame seeds on the inner wall of the containing tank 2, a rotating shaft 33 rotatably arranged on the mounting base 31, a rolling leaf 34 arranged on the rotating shaft 33 and used to roll the sesame seeds in the containing tank 2, and a driving member 35 arranged on the mounting base 31 and used to drive the rolling leaf 34 to rotate flexibly.

[0049] In this embodiment, by setting a rotating frame 1 to transport the holding tank 2 through the feeding mechanism 8, the soaking mechanism 5, the cleaning mechanism 6 and the drying mechanism 7 in sequence, the step-by-step processing of sesame kernels on the production line is realized. By setting a slidable and rotatable holding tank 2 to cooperate with the peeling mechanism 3, when the holding tank 2 cooperates with the soaking mechanism 5, the cleaning mechanism 6 and the drying mechanism 7, the soaking, cleaning and drying effects and efficiency are improved. By rotating the peeling mechanism 3, when the holding tank 2 is rotated to each workstation through the rotating frame 1, the peeling mechanism 3 rotates to better cooperate with the devices on each workstation, and the processing effect is better. By setting a flexible rotating kneading leaf 34, the sesame seeds are gently peeled to avoid the sesame kernels from breaking.

[0050] In detail, when in use, the rotating frame 1 first rotates to transport the holding tank 2 with sesame seeds to the soaking mechanism 5 for preliminary soaking. At this time, the holding tank 2 rotates and slides back and forth in the soaking mechanism 5 and cooperates with the flexible rotation of the kneading leaves 34 to turn over the sesame seeds, thereby improving the effect and efficiency of sesame soaking and avoiding the separation of the skin and kernel and the contamination of the liquid in the soaking mechanism 5; then the sesame seeds after preliminary soaking are transported to the cleaning mechanism 6 through the rotating frame 1 with the holding tank 2 for complete soaking while cooperating with the rotation and reciprocating sliding of the holding tank 2 in the cleaning mechanism 6 and the soft rotation of the kneading leaves 34. The sesame kernels are separated evenly and gently by rotating the holding tank 2 to avoid the sesame kernels from being broken. At this time, the moving holding tank 2 forms a water flow in the cleaning mechanism 6 to flush the sesame kernels out of the holding tank 2 through the skin outlet hole 21 for collection, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency. Finally, the sesame kernels are transported to the drying mechanism 7 and the feeding mechanism 8 in turn with the holding tank 2 through the rotating frame 1 to perform drying and discharging operations in turn. At this time, the holding tank 2 rotates and slides and cooperates with the flexible rotation of the kneading leaves 34 to push the sesame kernels to turn in the holding tank 2, thereby improving the drying and discharging effects and efficiency.

[0051] It should be noted that a door 71 is rotatably provided on the drying mechanism 7. When the door 71 is opened, it can avoid interfering with the rotating frame 1 in conveying the holding jar 2. When the door 71 is closed, it can cooperate with the drying mechanism 7 to form a drying chamber for drying the holding jar 2 and the sesame kernels therein.

[0052] In addition, the drying mechanism 7 itself and the installation method are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Further, as shown in Figures 5-10, the driving member 35 includes a driving blade 351 arranged on the rotating shaft 33, an air pushing plate 352 which is slidably arranged in the air cavity 311 on the mounting seat 31 and pushes the gas in the air cavity 311 through the air outlet 312 on the mounting seat 31 to blow the kneading blade 34 to rotate with the driving blade 351, a pushing rod 353 which is arranged on the pushing plate and cooperates with the pushing protrusion 23 on the inner wall of the containing tank 2 to push the pushing plate 352 to slide into the air cavity 311, and a first elastic member 354 which is arranged on the mounting seat 31 and is used to force the pushing plate 352 to slide out of the air cavity 311.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting a pushing protrusion 23 to cooperate with the first elastic member 354, the air pushing plate 352 is controlled to move back and forth in the air cavity 311 while the holding tank 2 rotates, so that an air flow is formed in the air outlet 312 to blow the kneading blade 34 to rotate flexibly with the driving blade 351.

[0055] In detail, when the containing tank 2 rotates, the pushing protrusion 23 pushes the push plate 352 to slide into the air cavity 311 along with the push rod 353, and the first elastic member 354 is deformed, and an airflow is generated in the air outlet 312 to blow the driving blade 351 to make a flexible rotation. When the containing tank 2 continues to rotate until the push rod 353 moves away from the pushing protrusion 23, the first elastic member 354 recovers its deformation and forces the push plate 352 to slide out of the air cavity 311 and reset.

[0056] It should be noted that there are multiple rolling blades 34 on the driving shaft, which can improve the rolling effect and rolling efficiency. The number of driving shafts is multiple. When the airflow pushed out by the air pushing plate 352 of the driving shaft at the sesame accumulation location is difficult to drive the rotation, the driving shafts at other locations can rotate and drive the rolling blades 34 to roll, thereby avoiding rolling interruptions and further improving the rolling effect and rolling efficiency.

[0057] In addition, a windshield 355 is provided on the outer side of the driving blade 351 for limiting the leakage of air flow, so as to increase the driving force of the air pushing plate 352 to push out the air flow.

[0058] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 7-10, the peeling mechanism 3 further includes an ejection component 36 disposed on the push rod 353 and used to eject the sesame peels in the peeling hole 21;

[0059] The ejection assembly 36 includes an ejector pin 361 slidably mounted on the push rod 353, a first guide structure 362 mounted on the ejector pin 361 and cooperating with the skin outlet hole 21 to force the ejector pin 361 to slide toward the push rod 353, and a second elastic member 363 mounted on the push rod 353 and used to force the ejector pin 361 into the skin outlet hole 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, by providing an ejection assembly 36 to cooperate with the rotation of the holding tank 2, the sesame skins that are not washed away by the water flow in the skin outlet hole 21 on the side wall of the holding tank 2 can be cleaned, thereby improving the peeling effect and reducing the skin sticking rate.

[0061] Specifically, when the container 2 rotates until the ejector pin 361 is aligned with the skin outlet hole 21, the second elastic member 363 forces the ejector pin 361 into the skin outlet hole 21 to clean it. When the container 2 continues to rotate, the first guide structure 362 cooperates with the skin outlet hole 21 to force the ejector pin 361 out of the skin outlet hole 21. At this time, the second elastic member 363 is compressed to facilitate the next push of the ejector pin 361 to clean the skin outlet hole 21.

[0062] It should be noted that the first guide structure 362 is chamfered or rounded, and the inner side of the skin outlet hole 21 is provided with a chamfered or rounded corner that matches the first guide structure 362, which makes the ejector 361 slide out of the skin outlet hole 21 more smoothly, avoiding damage to the device caused by jamming.

[0063] Further, as shown in Figures 1-6, the driving mechanism 4 includes a support frame 41 rotatably arranged on the rotating frame 1, a first gear motor 42 arranged on the rotating frame 1 and engaged with the first transmission tooth 411 on the support frame 41, a screw 43 rotatably connected to the support frame 41, a mounting frame 44 threadedly connected to the screw 43 and connected to the mounting seat 31 and used for rotatably mounting the holding tank 2, and a second gear motor 45 arranged on the mounting frame 44 and engaged with the second transmission tooth 22 on the holding tank 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, a first gear motor 42 is provided to cooperate with a screw 43 to drive the mounting frame 44 to rotate along with the support frame 41, thereby driving the peeling mechanism 3 to rotate, and a screw 43 is provided to cooperate with a second gear motor 45 to drive the containing tank 2 to slide and rotate.

[0065] In detail, when the first gear motor 42 drives the support frame 41 to rotate with the first transmission tooth 411, the screw 43 drives the peeling mechanism 3 to rotate with the mounting frame 44. When the screw 43 rotates, the holding tank 2 moves with the mounting frame 44. When the second gear motor 45 drives the second transmission tooth 22 to rotate, the holding tank 2 rotates.

[0066] Further, as shown in Figures 11-15, the soaking mechanism 5 includes a soaking pool 51 that is movably arranged on the outside of the containing tank 2, a liquid replenishing component 52 that is arranged on the outside of the soaking pool 51 and is used to replenish liquid in the soaking pool 51, and a valve 53 that is arranged in the liquid outlet pipe 521 of the liquid replenishing component 52 and cooperates with the rotation of the containing tank 2 to control the liquid outlet of the liquid outlet pipe 521.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting up a soaking pool 51 that moves up and down, it is possible to soak the holding tank 2 transported by the rotating rack 1 in the soaking pool 51, and by setting up a liquid replenishing component 52 and a valve 53, quantitative liquid replenishment of the soaking pool 51 is achieved to avoid excessive or insufficient solution in the soaking pool 51.

[0068] In detail, when the rotating rack 1 transports the holding tank 2, the soaking pool 51 moves downward to avoid interfering with the transportation of the rotating rack 1. After the rotating rack 1 transports the holding tank 2 to the top of the soaking pool 51, the soaking pool 51 moves upward until the sesame seeds in the holding tank 2 are immersed. When the holding tank 2 rotates, the valve 53 opens to replenish the soaking pool 51 with liquid to make up for the liquid taken away by the previous holding tank 2.

[0069] It should be noted that the fluid infusion component 52 itself and the installation method are both existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0070] Further, as shown in Figures 13-15, the valve 53 includes a shell 531 connected to the liquid outlet pipe 521, a liquid outlet needle 532 slidably arranged in the liquid outlet port 5311 on the shell 531, a second guide structure 533 arranged on the liquid outlet needle 532 and cooperating with the outlet hole 21 to force the liquid outlet needle 532 to slide into the shell 531, a sealing block 534 arranged in the shell 531 and cooperating with the sliding of the liquid outlet needle 532 to seal the liquid outlet channel 5321 on the liquid outlet needle 532, a flow-pushing plate 535 arranged on the liquid outlet needle 532 and used to push liquid into the liquid outlet channel 5321 as the liquid outlet needle 532 slides, and a third elastic member 536 arranged in the shell 531 and used to force the flow-pushing plate 535 to slide toward the liquid outlet port 5311 until it seals the liquid inlet channel 5312 on the shell 531.

[0071] In this embodiment, by setting the liquid outlet needle 532 in conjunction with the third elastic member 536 and the rotation of the holding tank 2, the flow-pushing plate 535 pushes the liquid to be discharged through the liquid outlet channel 5321, which not only realizes the opening and closing of the control valve 53, but also allows the liquid to be directionally added to the holding tank 2 through the skin outlet hole 21, so that the soaking effect is better.

[0072] In detail, when the holding tank 2 rotates until the liquid outlet needle 532 is aligned with the skin outlet hole 21, the third elastic member 536 forces the liquid outlet needle 532 to extend into the skin outlet hole 21, the liquid outlet channel 5321 opens, and the flow-pushing plate 535 slides toward the liquid outlet 5311 to push the liquid in the shell 531 to be discharged through the liquid outlet channel 5321 while sealing the liquid inlet channel 5312, so that the liquid is quantitatively and directionally discharged into the holding tank 2, and the uncontaminated liquid directly soaks the sesame seeds in the holding tank 2, and the soaking effect is better. When the holding tank 2 continues to rotate, the second guide structure 533 cooperates with the skin outlet hole 21 to force the liquid outlet needle 532 to slide into the shell 531, the liquid outlet channel 5321 is closed, and the liquid inlet channel 5312 is opened, so that the liquid is able to enter the shell 531. At this time, the third elastic member 536 is compressed to facilitate the next push of the flow-pushing plate 535 to push out the liquid.

[0073] It should be noted that the second guide structure 533 is chamfered or rounded, and the outer side of the skin outlet hole 21 is provided with a chamfered or rounded corner that matches the second guide structure 533. This makes it easier for the liquid discharge needle 532 to slide out of the skin outlet hole 21, avoiding damage to the device caused by jamming.

[0074] In addition, the sealing block 534 is preferably an annular structure, and is provided with a through hole 5341 for the water flow pushed by the flow-pushing plate 535 to pass through, which makes it easier for the sealing block 534 to seal the liquid outlet channel 5321 on the liquid outlet needle 532.

[0075] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 16-17, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a cleaning pool 61 movably arranged on the outside of the containing tank 2 and a salvaging component 62 movably arranged on the cleaning pool 61 and used to salvage the sesame skins.

[0076] In this embodiment, by setting up a cleaning pool 61 that moves up and down, the holding tank 2 transported by the rotating frame 1 can be immersed in the cleaning pool 61. By setting up a movable salvaging component 62, the sesame skins can be salvaged in time while avoiding interfering with the direction of the water flow in the holding tank 2.

[0077] In detail, when the rotating frame 1 transports the holding tank 2, the cleaning pool 61 moves downward to avoid interfering with the transportation of the rotating frame 1. After the rotating frame 1 transports the holding tank 2 to the top of the cleaning pool 61, the cleaning pool 61 moves upward until the sesame seeds in the holding tank 2 are immersed. When the holding tank 2 slides in one direction in the clean water pool to form a water flow to flush out the sesame skins, the salvage component 62 moves and is always located behind the water flow to salvage the sesame skins in time. When the holding tank 2 slides in the other direction in the clean water pool, the salvage component 62 moves to the outside of the cleaning pool 61 to avoid interfering with the formation of the water flow in the holding tank 2.

[0078] It should be noted that there are two salvaging components 62, which are respectively located on both sides of the holding tank 2 to cooperate with the holding tank 2 to make reciprocating motion in the cleaning pool 61 to avoid interfering with the water flow while quickly fishing out the sesame skins.

[0079] Further, as shown in Figures 15-17, the salvage assembly 62 includes a bucket 621 that is moved and rotated and is arranged above the cleaning tank 61 and is used to salvage the sesame skins, a fourth elastic member arranged on the bucket 621 and used to force the bucket 621 to rotate until it extends into the cleaning tank 61, a first push plate 622 arranged on the cleaning tank 61 and used to push the bucket 621 to rotate in a first direction to salvage the sesame skins, a second push plate 623 arranged on the cleaning tank 61 and used to push the bucket 621 to rotate in a second direction to pour out the sesame skins, and a locking member 624 arranged on the bucket 621 and used to limit the rotation of the bucket 621.

[0080] In this embodiment, by setting a rotatable and movable bucket 621 in conjunction with the fourth elastic member, the first push plate 622, the second push plate 623 and the locking member 624, the bucket 621 can be controlled to move in or out of the cleaning pool 61 to salvage the sesame skins and the bucket 621 can be controlled to pour out the sesame skins.

[0081] In detail, when the bucket 621 moves toward the direction of the first push plate 622, until the first push plate 622 pushes the bucket 621 to rotate in the first direction to scoop the sesame skins out of the cleaning pool 61, the locking piece 624 restricts the rotation of the bucket 621. When the bucket 621 moves toward the direction of the second push plate 623, until it moves to the outside of the cleaning pool 61, the second push plate 623 pushes the bucket 621 to force the locking piece 624 to open, and the bucket 621 can rotate in the second direction to pour out the sesame skins, thereby completing the collection and cleaning of the sesame skins.

[0082] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the specific structure of the locking member 624. The following is only one structure for reference: the locking member 624 includes a spherical locking block 6241 slidably disposed on the bucket 621, and a fifth elastic member disposed on the bucket 621 and used to force the locking block 6241 to connect to the locking groove 6211 on the bucket 621.

[0083] In addition, the first elastic member 354, the second elastic member 363, the third elastic member 536, the fourth elastic member and the fifth elastic member can be coil springs, leaf springs, torsion springs, etc., which themselves and their installation methods are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0084] Further, as shown in Figure 1, the feeding mechanism 8 includes a first conveyor belt 81 that is rotatably arranged above the outer side of the holding tank 2 and cooperates with the opening of the tank door 24 on the holding tank 2 to input sesame seeds, and a second conveyor belt 82 that is rotatably arranged below the outer side of the holding tank 2 and cooperates with the opening of the tank door 24 to output sesame kernels.

[0085] In this embodiment, by providing a first conveyor belt 81 and a rotatable second conveyor belt 82 to cooperate with the opening of the tank door 24, the output of sesame kernels and the input of sesame seeds to the holding tank 2 are achieved while avoiding interference with the conveying function of the rotating frame 1.

[0086] In detail, when the rotating frame 1 transports the holding can 2, the first conveyor belt 81 and the second conveyor belt 82 rotate in the direction away from the holding can until one holding can 2 moves out from between the first conveyor belt 81 and the second conveyor belt 82. When the rotating frame 1 transports another holding can 2 between the first conveyor belt 81 and the second conveyor belt 82, the first conveyor belt 81 and the second conveyor belt 82 rotate and reset, the can door 24 opens and cooperates with the rotation of the holding can 2 and the kneading leaves 34 to completely dump the sesame kernels onto the second conveyor belt 82 for output. After the sesame kernels are output, the empty holding can 2 moves to the bottom of the first conveyor belt 81 to allow sesame to be input.

[0087] It should be noted that there are two scrapers 32 , which are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting base 31 . The two scrapers 32 respectively cooperate with the holding tank 2 to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise to completely scrape out the sesame seeds in the holding tank 2 . Example 2

[0088] As shown in Figure 1-17, a wet processing sesame kernel production process includes the following steps:

[0089] Step 1: After the sesame seeds are fed into the holding tank 2 through the feeding mechanism 8, the rotating frame 1 rotates to transport the holding tank 2 with the sesame seeds to the soaking mechanism 5 for preliminary soaking. At this time, the holding tank 2 rotates and slides and cooperates with the flipping of the peeling mechanism 3 to ensure that the sesame seeds are evenly soaked;

[0090] Step 2: After the initial soaking, the sesame seeds are transported to the cleaning mechanism 6 through the rotating frame 1 along with the holding tank 2 for complete soaking. At the same time, the rotation and sliding of the holding tank 2 and the flipping of the peeling mechanism 3 are used to perform a uniform and gentle separation of the hulls and kernels. At this time, the moving holding tank 2 causes a water flow to form in the cleaning mechanism 6 to flush the sesame hulls out of the holding tank 2 and then collect them;

[0091] Step 3: The sesame kernels are transported along with the holding tank 2 through the rotating rack 1 to the drying mechanism 7 and the feeding mechanism 8 for drying and discharging operations. At this time, the holding tank 2 rotates and slides and cooperates with the flipping of the peeling mechanism 3 to reduce the time of the drying and discharging operations.
