Abstract

Disclosed is a continuous feeding mechanism including a transfer mechanism, wherein the transfer mechanism includes a rotatable indent roller circumferentially provided with a plurality of blanking grooves; a post pin is arranged in each blanking groove; the post pin is connected with a spring; the spring is arranged towards the interior of the indent roller; and the post pin can move along the blanking grooves; a feeding box, wherein the bottom of the feeding box is hollow, and the bottom is arranged above the indent roller or the bottom is fixedly connected with the indent roller; the continuous feeding mechanism is arranged above one side of the transfer mechanism; and an electromagnetic heating mechanism which includes a supporting frame, wherein the transfer mechanism is arranged in the supporting frame, and an electromagnetic coil is circumferentially arranged outside the supporting frame.

First claim

We claim:

1. An intelligent apparatus for separating walnut kernels and red coats by belt conveying and heat radiation based on a thermal expansion and contraction principle, comprising:
an electromagnetic heating mechanism comprising a supporting frame, wherein a transfer mechanism is arranged in the supporting frame, and an electromagnetic coil is circumferentially arranged outside the supporting frame; and
the transfer mechanism penetrating through the supporting frame and used to feed walnut kernels into the supporting frame and transfer the walnut kernels out of the electromagnetic heating mechanism.

2. The intelligent apparatus for separating walnut kernels and red coats by belt conveying and heat radiation based on the thermal expansion and contraction principle according to claim 1 , wherein one side of the transfer mechanism is also provided with a feeding mechanism.

3. The intelligent apparatus for separating walnut kernels and red coats by belt conveying and heat radiation based on the thermal expansion and contraction principle according to claim 2 , wherein the feeding mechanism comprises a feeding plate obliquely arranged; a middle portion of the feeding plate is provided with a rotating shaft with a material shifting groove; the rotating shaft is connected with a grooved pulley component disposed on a side portion of the feeding plate; and a lower half section of the feeding plate is provided with a plurality of distributing plates;
or the distributing plates are arranged along a length direction of the feeding plate, and a longitudinal section of each distributing plate is of a herringbone structure; and the rotating shaft is arranged in a width direction of the feeding plate.

4. The intelligent apparatus for separating walnut kernels and red coats by belt conveying and heat radiation based on the thermal expansion and contraction principle according to claim 1 , wherein the electromagnetic heating mechanism can be replaced by a resistance heating mechanism.
