Description

The present invention relates to a ginkgo pulp removing apparatus.

Gingko needs to remove the pulp around the seeds in order to make the seeds edible. The removal of the pulp is generally performed manually, but there is a problem of poor workability. For this reason, a plurality of brush rolls that rotate forward and reverse are arranged in multiple stages inside a tank-shaped frame with an inlet at the top, and the pulp is rotated with a brush that rotates forward and backward while pouring water into the ginkgo that has been introduced from the inlet. An apparatus for scraping the seeds and separating them from the seeds has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

However, since this apparatus arrange | positions many brush rolls in multistage and transmits rotational force to each, a structure is complicated and an apparatus is also expensive. In addition, while pouring a large amount of water into the frame, the pulp is scraped off with a brush, so the seeds and water must be separated. It was troublesome.

The broken and broken pulp is pushed out from the gap of the coiled cylindrical passage and dropped, and further moved forward, so that only seeds remain on the tip side of the coiled cylindrical passage, and the pulp can be efficiently removed. In addition, the structure of the apparatus is simple and small, and it can be manufactured at low cost. It is easy for a woman to operate and maintain.

According to the ginkgo pulp removing apparatus according to the second aspect of the present invention, since a plurality of fan-shaped stirring blades are provided in the shape of screws on the outer periphery of the shaft, the structure is simple and can be manufactured at low cost.

Further, according to the ginkgo pulp removing apparatus according to claim 3, a sprinkling pipe is provided in the upper part of the coiled cylindrical passage along the longitudinal direction, and the pulp is peeled off while sprinkling a small amount of water. Separation of the pulp is promoted and can be removed more efficiently.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a ginkgo fruit removing device, in which a coiled cylindrical passage 1 is mounted on a base 2, a hopper-like ginkgo supply part 3 is provided on one end side of the coiled cylindrical passage 1, and the other end is provided. A seed discharge port 4 is formed. As shown in FIG. 2, a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably supported inside the coiled cylindrical passage 1, and a plurality of stirring blades 6 project from the rotating shaft 5 in the form of screws, and adjacent stirring blades. A stirring rod 7 is projected on the rotating shaft 5 between the six.

As shown in FIG. 4, the coiled cylindrical passage 1 is wound around a round bar 10 or a round pipe in a coil shape with a gap 11 through which ginkgo seeds do not pass, and as shown in FIG. Cylindrical caps 12 and 13 are attached. A hopper-shaped ginkgo supply unit 3 is attached to one cylindrical cap 12, and a seed discharge port 4 is attached to the other cylindrical cap 13.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotating shaft 5 is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped stirring blades 6 projecting in a screw shape at intervals, and stirring between adjacent stirring blades 6 is performed. A rod 7 is projected. Both ends of the rotating shaft 5 are rotatably supported by bearings 15 attached to the cylindrical caps 12 and 13, and a pulley 16A is attached to one end protruding from the bearing 15. Reference numeral 17 denotes a motor installed under the base 2, and a pulley 16 </ b> B is attached to the output shaft, and this pulley 16 </ b> A is connected by a belt 18.

A sprinkling pipe 20 is attached to the upper part of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 along its longitudinal direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the watering pipe 20 has watering holes 21 opened at predetermined intervals at the bottom, and water 22 is sprinkled into the coiled cylindrical passage 1 from here. The coiled cylindrical passage 1 is covered with a cover 23 having an open bottom as shown in FIG. A pulp receiving container 24 is provided below the cover 23, and a seed receiving container 25 is provided below the seed discharge port 4.

In the ginkgo pulp removing apparatus having the above-described configuration, when the gingko 26 which is ripe from the ginkgo supply unit 3 is first charged and the motor 17 is rotated, power is transmitted to the rotary shaft 5 via the pulley 16A, the belt 18 and the pulley 16B. Rotate. As shown in FIG. 5, the ginkgo 26 supplied from the ginkgo supply unit 3 into the coiled cylindrical passage 1 is driven by a plurality of stirring blades 6 protruding in a screw shape on the rotary shaft 5 by the same action as the screw conveyor. It is sent forward, and at this time, the pulp 27 of the ginkgo 26 is crushed.

When it is sent further forward, it is broken by the stirring rod 7 protruding between the stirring blades 6 and 6, and when it is sent forward while repeating this, the pulp 27 and seed 28 are gradually separated and become softer. The collapsed pulp 27 is pushed out from the gap 11 of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 and falls into the pulp receiving container 24.

When it is further forwarded, water 22 is sprinkled from a sprinkling pipe 20 attached to the upper part of the coiled cylindrical passage 1, and the water 22 flows into the inside through the gap 11, and the pulp 27 is washed away from the seed 28. The pulp 27 falls from the gap 11 and only the seed 28 is sent. The seed 28 sent to the tip of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 falls from the seed discharge port 4 to the ginkgo seed receiving container 25.

Accordingly, the pulp 27 crushed by the stirring rod 7 in the process of being pushed forward in the coiled cylindrical passage 1 by the same action as the screw conveyor is pushed out from the gap 11 of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 and dropped. Further, the seeds 28 remain on the tip side of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 by further moving forward, and the pulp 27 can be efficiently removed. Since the pulp 27 is mechanically separated from the seed 28 in this way, it can be separated without sprinkling water, but can be separated and removed more efficiently if a small amount of water 22 is sprinkled on the discharge side.

For this reason, since the moisture contained in the pulp 27 collected in the pulp container 24 is small and can be used as it is as compost, the wastewater treatment is easier than in the conventional apparatus. According to the experiment, 90 kg of processing was possible in 1 hour with the gingko pulp removing apparatus of the present invention. Moreover, when water 22 was continuously sprinkled from the input side to the discharge side, it was possible to treat 110 to 150 kg in 1 hour.

In the above description, the case where a plurality of stirring blades 6 are projected in a screw shape on the rotating shaft 5 has been described, but a structure in which the stirring blades are projected in a continuous screw shape may be used. In addition, the water sprinkling pipe 20 may have a structure attached only to the discharge side of the coiled cylindrical passage 1 or may have a structure in which the water sprinkling pipe 20 is not attached. Further, the cover 23 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a rectangular tube shape having an open bottom surface, or may have a structure in which the cover 23 is not attached.
