Abstract

The invention discloses a positioning, core-removing and lotus seed-splitting device for Chinese herbal medicine lotus seeds. The device comprises a lotus seed conveying device, a lotus seed positioning and sweeping device and a lotus seed core-removing and splitting device, wherein the lotus seed conveying device comprises a conveyor frame, and a plurality of sets of conveying screw rods are distributed on the conveyor frame, and each group of conveying screw rods with the same direction and the same speed forms a lotus seed conveying channel; the lotus seed positioning and sweeping device comprises a fixing frame fixed at the material discharging end of the conveyor frame, a sliding frame is installed on the lower end face of the fixing frame in a sliding mode, a positioning air cylinderand a sweeping air cylinder which stretch up and down are arranged on the lower end face, corresponding to each material discharging end of the conveying channel, of the sliding frame; the lotus seedcore-removing and splitting device comprises a core-removing and splitting machine frame which is arranged close to the material discharging end of the conveyor frame, and a driving motor is installed on the part, corresponding to the material discharging end of each conveying channel, of the sliding seat through a rotating clamping seat. According to the device, the device is relatively high inautomation degree, the lotus seed core-removing and splitting operation is convenient, the structure is compact, and the transportation is convenient.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of production and processing of lotus seeds, in particular to a device for positioning, coring, and edge-removing lotus seeds, a traditional Chinese medicinal material. Background technique [0002] For the same variety of lotus seeds, when the water content is constant, the size of the lotus seeds is distributed in a concentrated area, and there is little difference in the shell thickness between different positions. Linear and nonlinear relationships. [0003] The lotus seeds are split, that is, the lotus seeds are split into two parts evenly. When opening the edges, it is best to split the dried lotus seeds longitudinally and symmetrically along the natural parting plane. At present, there is a design that uses the thimble structure to open the sides of the lotus seeds, that is, to fix the lotus seeds, and place conical thimbles on the left and right sides of the lotus seeds along the long axis of the l...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Due to the special shape of the lotus seeds, it is difficult to automatically center the lotus seeds before hedging. It is difficult to make each lotus seed in the middle of the two thimbles. The hedging effect is unstable. After opening, the proportion of fragmentation is large; it may not be able to be opened, or only half of the lotus seeds are washed; some may appear that the knife and lotus seeds cannot be separated, and the collapse is serious
