Research on Ringent Method of Watermelon Seed by Mechanism

Watermelon seed is rich in protein, fat and mineral elements, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, which is one of the popular roasted seeds and nuts for its rich nutrition and savory flavor. Therefore, watermelon seed possesses highly economic worth. Although the planting of watermelon seed is extensive at the present time, the process is underdeveloped. The shapes of watermelon seed are similar but the sizes are different. The hull is hard and the clearance between the hull and the kernel is small so as to it is difficult to shell. The people not often eat watermelon seed, the old and the young degust discommodiously. All of them make the market and price restrained. Moreover, because the foreigners seldom eat watermelon seed, the export is limited. Therefore, the problem of how to process deep and how to suffice the demand come forth. Through investigation, making the hull ringent in advance can be effectual. While the handwrought way is preferred in many factories, which is inefficient and cost a lot. Thus research on ringent method of watermelon seed by mechanism is needful in production. In this way, the efficiency and quality will be improved, and the factories can produce largely.There are many methods to shell, such as mechanical, physical and chemic ways. Impact, milling, roll press and omnibus methods are general in mechanical ways. The physical ways include vacuum and high pressure approach. And the chemic ways use reagent to intenerate the hulls.At first, according to inland and oversea information on materiel characteristics and threshing technologies of some nuts, the physical and mechanical characteristics of watermelon seed are researched. The experiment scheme is determined, that is, taking width, moisture, loading velocity as factors and rupture force and deformation as indexes. The results show that watermelon seed is viscoelastic and the correlation between the above indexes and factors is linear and nonlinear. The function formula is established and the primary factors are found.Secondly, the geometrical dimension is researched, and the three-dimensional model is established by Pro/E. Based upon the three finite element models, the distortion, the stress and strain distributions of watermelon seed are analyzed by ANSYS/LS-DYNA.The optimal load is symmetrical surface load along the width orientation. At this situation, the trend of distortion and stress-strain distribution is beneficial for extending cracks, therefore, crevassing efficiently at the seed tip. All the researches provide specific directions for the design and improvement of equipment.Finally, the pivotal parts of the crevassing equipment are introduced, and the three-dimensional model is established by Pro/E. Through the experimentation of crevassing watermelon seed using the crevassing equipment which is produced, the parameter is the experiential data for the research of ringent method of watermelon seed by mechanism.

Study on the Effect of Reinforced Loops on Stress Characteristics in Centrifugal Bowls

Bowl is one of the main parts of a centrifuge. The design and strengthcalculation of bowl directly affect the general service performance of centrifuge. Tomeet the requirements of strength, reinforced hoop is used on cylinder of bowl insome design and manufacture units. Thus, mastering the effect of reinforced loop onstress of cylinder is very important.On the problem of reinforcing loop, it is supposed that using loops is feasibleamong centrifugal industry standards of various countries. There are definitecalculation formulas for reinforced loop coefficient in the standards of BS EN12457、VDMA 24401-Ⅰand JB/T8051, but they have different regulations on this issue; Andpretension between loop and cylinder isn’t considered in them. Besides, they do nothold unanimous opinion on the question of when loops work on the bowl and howtheywork.It belongs to contact mechanics problem of the connection between loops andcylinder. Because the distribution of stress in the connection area is very complicatedand the certain amount of interference between loops and cylinder in the condition ofpretension, it is difficult to solve the problem of bowl contact in theory. The paper hasdetermined the influence laws of these factors that include the structure anddistribution along cylinder of loop and other factors by using finite element analysismethod. And the results reveal that: no matter if there is pretension between bowl andloops, the enforcement effect of loops whose axial size is lager than the radial size(that isa ? e) on cylinder is greater than other shapes of loop in the condition of equalcross- sectional areas of reinforcement hoop. When cross section , thedepth-thickness ratio?of loop cross-section has little influence on the stress result.No matter if there is pretension between loops and cylinder, the cylinder between twoloops is being reinforced just when the loop space (which r0 representsthe mean radio of cylinderδmeans the wall thickness of cylinder). Theenforcement effect is most significant when for definitive totalcross-sectional area of loop. The two methods for reducing the stress level of bowl,one of which is enlarging the pretension and the other is increasing cross-sectionalarea are equivalent.On basis of finite element analysis, several revising suggestions of the application scope of reinforced loop coefficient Z in JB/T 8051-1996Standard ofstrength calculation for centrifugal bowl are proposed in this paper.

High speed machining is one of the four advanced manufacturing technologies. At present, multi-function machine tools such as turning-milling machine, drilling- milling machine, etc. have been developed. The tool system, which influences the quality and efficiency of the high speed machining, needs farther researches. Therefore, it is significant to design a multi-function main shaft and research on its tool system.Considering the finished works in the laboratory and actual conditions, the focal point of this research is placed on the global design of the machining end of the main shaft, the theoretical calculation and the simulation of the HSK tool-holder and its optimal selection.The cylindrical of the shaft is connected to the vacuum sucker through the flange, and the inner hole is combined with the HSK tool-holder for respectively turning and milling. Then the static and modal analysis are applied by using the finite element software ANSYS to check its intension.Based on the elastic-plastic theory, the model of the HSK tool-holder/shaft connecting is established and the displacement under centrifugal force is deduced. Then the static analysis is applied by using ANSYS to verify the theoretical solution above. The influences of pre-tightening force, magnitude of interference and rotational speed on the connecting performance of the connecting system are simulated.Finally, the priorities of the connecting systems with different parameters are obtained with the Analytic Hierarchy Process.
