Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated groundnut extraction device that is capable of assisting the user in extraction of groundnuts. Additionally the device generates a vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Groundnut extraction devices are specialized equipment used for two primary purposes, shelling groundnuts (peanuts) and extracting oil from groundnuts. Powered by electricity, these machines shell groundnuts quickly and efficiently. They typically include a hopper, a mechanical shelling unit, and a separation mechanism to sort shells from the nuts. Groundnuts are fed into a rotating drum with perforations that facilitate the separation of shells from the nuts. Traditional groundnut extraction devices have been used for centuries in various cultures to remove shells of groundnuts. These devices are often simple, manually operated tools that are made with locally available materials. The device typically consists of a wooden or metal base with a rough surface or perforated plate. The groundnuts are rubbed against the surface to break the shells. The shells are then manually separated from the nuts.

[0003] Conventionally, traditional methods are useful but they have their own limitations. These devices require significant physical effort and time, making them less suitable for large-scale operations. The manual labor involved are exhausting and slow. Traditional methods often result in lower extraction efficiency, meaning not all the oil is extracted from the groundnuts, leaving a significant amount of residual oil. Traditional devices are generally slower, limiting the amount of groundnuts that are processed in a given time. This restricts the scalability of operations. Therefore there is need to develop a device that is capable of assisting the user in extraction of groundnuts by generating vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered and detects the moisture level in the extracted groundnut to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the extracted groundnut.

[0004] CN1063032C discloses about a defatted method for extracting type peanuts, which comprises that the method is carried out in a sealing tank, light hydrocarbon solvents are firstly added and sealed in the tank, and peanuts are put in a metal mesh basket and are heated in a water bath; the light hydrocarbon in the tank forms a gas-liquid mixture with larger sealing and in a semi-critical state, and oil in the peanuts are dissolved in the light hydrocarbon. Peanut grains processed by the method have the advantages of white colour, few separated impurities of peanut oil, pure colour, unique flavour and convenient storage; the processed peanuts keep the original shape, the crude fat of the extracting type peanuts is 20 to 35% lower than that of the ordinary peanuts, and crude protein is 15 to 20% higher than that of the ordinary peanuts; the present invention is suitable for patients who have hypertension, hyperlipoidemia and diabetes mellitus to eat. CN’032 is capable of extracting peanuts through multiple process to provide fresh peanuts. However lacks in detecting the moisture level in the extracted groundnut to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the extracted groundnut.

[0005] CN102726809A discloses about a peanut peeling device, which consists of a machine frame and is characterized in that a peanut peel throwing fan is connected with one side of the bottom of the machine frame, a motor is connected with one side of the middle position of the machine frame and is connected with a peanut and peel separating blast blower through a belt, a sieve is arranged on the machine frame at one side of an outlet part of the peanut and peel separating blast blower, the middle position of the sieve is connected with a sieve driving shaft assembly, the upper end of the sieve driving shaft assembly is connected with a peanut secondary separation assembly, the peanut secondary separation assembly is connected with the peanut and peel separating blast blower through a connecting belt and is connected with the upper end of the machine frame, and a peanut primary separation assembly is arranged at one side of the peanut secondary separation assembly. Therefore, the peanut peeling device has the advantages that the use is convenient, the work intensity is low, the structure is simple, the unshelling is clean, the quality of the peanut kernel is ensured, and the peanut peeling device is particularly suitable for being used for peanut peeling. CN’809 is capable of peeling and removing the off the shell. However lacks in generating vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered.

[0006] Conventionally, many devices have been developed for extracting ground nut that are capable of extracting or removing the shells of ground nut and processes the extracted ground nuts through multiple process, to provide fresh groundnuts to the user. However lacks in generating vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that is capable of providing a means to extract groundnut without any manual effort. Additionally the device detects the moisture level in the extracted groundnut to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the extracted groundnut and generates a vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to an automated groundnut extraction device that is capable of generating a vibrational sensations on the groundnuts to allow all the impurities in the nuts to get filtered and provide an optimum amount of air on extracted groundnut in order to remove all the moisture.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an isometric view of an automated groundnut extraction device and an isometric view of vibrating unit associated with the proposed device is illustrated, respectively, comprises of a platform 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface, plurality of suction cups 102 are arranged underneath the platform 101, a microphone 103 integrated in the frame, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 is installed on the platform 101, a motorized clipper 105 arranged on the platform 101 by means of a telescopically operated L-shaped rod 106, a drawer arrangement 107 integrated in the clamp, a pair of vertical plates 108 arranged on the platform 101, plurality of motorized blades 109 arranged on inner periphery of the plates 108, a meshed frame 110 arranged in proximity to the plates 108, a vibrating unit 201 is integrated in the frame, blades 109 are integrated with an expandable pulley 111 arrangement, a pair of motorized sliding units 112 integrated in between the platform 101 and each of the plate, a speaker 113 installed on the platform 101, an air blower 114 integrated with the frame, U-shaped clamp 115 installed on the platform 101 by means of a bar 116.

[0023] The proposed device comprises of a platform 101 developed to be positioned on a ground surface. Plurality of suction cups 102 are arranged underneath the platform 101 to adhere to the surface for securing the platform 101 on the surface. The suction cups 102 ranges in between four to six in numbers. The suction cups 102 used herein are made up of silicone rubber that easily eliminates pressure inside the suction cup and creating a vacuum between the cup and the surface which seals the surface tightly to the suction cup, resisting any slipping of the surface in order to affix the surface with the platform 101.

[0024] Upon affixing the surface with the platform 101, a microphone 103 integrated in the frame enables a user to provide input voice commands for removal of groundnuts present in roots of a plant. The microphone 103 contains a small diaphragm connected to a moving coil. When sound waves of the user hit the diaphragm, the coil vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet's field, generating an electrical current. The signal of which are sent to a microcontroller for removal of groundnuts present in roots of a plant.

[0025] Upon providing input voice command, the microcontroller actuates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 installed on the platform 101 and paired with a processor for capturing and processing multiple images in vicinity of the platform 101, respectively to determine positioning of the groundnut plant placed in proximity to the platform 101. The artificial intelligence based imaging unit 104 comprises of a camera lens and a processor, wherein the 360 degree rotatable camera captures multiple images of the platform 101 and then the processor carries out a sequence of steps including pre-processing, feature extraction and segmentation. In pre-processing, the unwanted data like noise, background is removed out and the image is converted into a format recommended for feature extraction. The features like pixel intensities of the foreground image are extracted and are sent for classification to determine positioning of the groundnut plant placed in proximity to the platform 101. The microcontroller further processes the received data.

[0026] Upon determining positioning of the groundnut plant placed in proximity to the platform 101, a motorized clipper 105 arranged on the platform 101 by means of a telescopically operated L-shaped rod 106 is actuated by the microcontroller to extend/retract for positioning the clipper in proximity to the plants. The telescopically operated L-shaped rod 106 is linked to a pneumatic unit, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the motorized clipper 105. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston.

[0027] The piston is connected with the motorized clipper 105 and due to applied pressure the motorized clipper 105 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the telescopically operated L-shaped rod 106 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the motorized clipper 105 in order position the clipper in proximity to the plants. The motorized clipper 105 are operated by a pair of handles which are alternately squeezed together and released for griping or releasing the battery and are driven by the motor which makes the blades 109 of clip to oscillate from side to side. Upon actuation of the motorized clipper 105 by the microcontroller the motor rotates the blade to oscillate in order to acquire a grip of the plant’s stem.

[0028] A Tactile Sensor installed on the plate to detects the surface condition of the groundnut that is being extracted. The tactile sensor detects the hardness of the groundnut by measuring the force of contact between the sensor and the surface of groundnut. The sensor is typically a small, flat component that is placed against surface of the groundnut and then pressed down. As the force of contact increases, the sensor measures the amount of pressure being applied and sends a
signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then interprets the signal
and determines the hardness of the groundnut.

[0029] The platform 101 is installed with a laser measurement sensor for determining dimensions of the plant’s stems. The laser measurement sensor consists of an emitter and receiver, and works on the principle of measuring the time delay between the laser beam to travel to the plant’s stems and back. The laser sensor emits a light towards the surface of plant’s stems and when the laser beam hits the surface of the plant’s stems, the beam reflects back towards the receiver of the sensor. Upon detection of reflected beam by the sensor, the sensor precisely measures the time taken for the laser beam to travel to and back from the surface of the plant’s stems. The sensor then calculates the dimensions of the plant’s stems and the calculated dimensions is then converted into electrical signal, in the form of current, and send to a microcontroller.

[0030] Upon receiving the signals, the microcontroller actuates a drawer arrangement 107 integrated in a motorized U-shaped clamp 115 installed on the platform 101 by means of a bar 116 to increase/decrease dimensions of the clamp 115, to securely hold the plant in the clamp 115, wherein the clamp 115 positions the plant in between a pair of vertical plates 108 arranged on the platform 101. The drawer arrangement 107 consists of multiple plates 108 that are overlapped to each other with a sliding unit, wherein upon actuation of the drawer arrangement 107 by the microcontroller, the motor in the sliding unit starts rotating a wheel coupled via a shaft in clockwise/anticlockwise direction providing a movement to the slider in the drawer arrangement 107 to extend to securely hold the plant in the clamp 115.

[0031] The motorized U-shaped clamp 115 is a fastening equipment used to hold or secure securely hold the plant tightly together to prevent movement or separation of the plant. The clamp 115 comprises a pair of curved motorize clamp 115, attached with motor to grip the front wheel and crossbar of bicycle. Motor provides movement to open/close the motorize clamp 115 to securely hold the plant in the clamp 115. The clamp 115 positions the plant in between a pair of vertical plates 108 arranged on the platform 101.

[0032] An optical sensor embedded in the clamp 115 monitors spacing in between the plates 108. The optical sensor works by using light to detect the presence of the leak. The optical sensor contains a light emitter and a light detector. On actuation the emitter emits a beam of light which travels through the air until it hits the plates 108. The light beam will be refracted, which causes the intensity of the light to decrease. The light detector then detects the decrease in light intensity and sends a signal to the microcontroller. In order to monitor the spacing between the plates 108.

[0033] In case the spacing recedes dimensions of the plant, the microcontroller actuates a pair of motorized sliding units 112 integrated in between the platform 101 and each of the plate, to adjust the spacing for properly accommodating the plant in between the plates 108. The motorized sliding unit incorporates an electric motor to drive a linear movement of the container along a track or guide. Upon actuation of the sliding unit by the microcontroller, the motor’s power is harnessed to move the slider in an automated and precise way for a smooth and controlled transitional motion of the container within the trays, in order to for properly accommodate the plant in between the plates 108.

[0034] A double slider gear arrangement integrated with the rod provides a reciprocating translation to the bar 116 along with the clamp 115 for moving the gripped plant along length of the plates 108. The double slider gear mechanism consists of two slider-crank linkages connected by gears. As one slider moves along its linear path, it drives the rotation of the gears, causing the second slider to reciprocate along its own linear path. This configuration allows for the conversion of rotary motion into linear motion (and vice versa) with greater flexibility and precision compared to a single slider-crank mechanism in order to move the gripped plant along length of the plates 108.

[0035] Upon moving the gripped plant along length of the plates 108, the plant’s roots are brushed against plurality of motorized blades 109 arranged on inner periphery of the plates 108 for removing groundnuts of the plant’s roots, thereby extracting the groundnuts from the plants. The motorized blade operates by converting electrical energy into mechanical motion to rotate a blade. Typically used in various cutting applications, such as saws, fans, or propellers, the motorized blade consists of an electric motor connected to a shaft. When powered, the motor generates rotational force, which is transmitted to the blade via the shaft. The blade's rotation enables it to perform cutting, slicing, or other mechanical tasks with precision and efficiency in order to remove the groundnuts of the plant’s roots, thereby extracting the groundnuts from the plants.

[0036] The blades 109 are integrated with an expandable pulley 111 arrangement to increase/decrease dimensions of the blades 109 as per density of the plant’s root, monitored by the imaging unit 104. The expandable pulley 111 arrangement consists of two main components, an outer pulley shell and an inner core. The inner core is mounted on a shaft and is capable of moving axially within the outer shell. By changing the position of the inner core relative to the outer shell, the effective diameter of the rotatable extendable blades 109 is increased/decreased. When the core moves towards the center of the shell, the rotatable extendable blades 109 are retracted and when the core moves away the diameter increases in order to increase/decrease dimensions of the blades 109 as per density of the plant’s root.

[0037] A meshed frame 110 arranged in proximity to the plates 108 receives the groundnuts. Upon receiving the groundnuts, a vibrating unit 201 integrated in the frame is actuated by the microcontroller to produce vibrational sensations in the frame for allowing impurities in the nuts to get filtered through the frame, thereby allowing the user to collect the extracted groundnuts. The vibrating unit 201 works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy which causes the unit to vibrate. The unit comprises of a motor, eccentric weight and shaft, as the microcontroller directs the motor the shaft rotates which in turn rotates the weight. The rotation of weigh creates the unbalanced forces which leads in vibration of the unit resulting in the providing vibrational sensations in the frame for allowing impurities in the nuts to get filtered through the frame allows the user to collect the extracted groundnuts.

[0038] Upon extracting the groundnuts, a moisture sensor embedded in the platform 101 detect moisture in the extracted groundnuts. The moisture sensors work on the principle of measuring electrical conductivity or capacitance by using probes or electrodes that come in contact with the area, and the level of moisture affects the electrical properties of the moisture. By analyzing these changes, moisture sensor accurately determine the moisture in the extracted groundnuts.

[0039] Based on determined the moisture in the extracted groundnuts the microcontroller actuates an air blower 114 integrated with the frame to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the groundnuts. The air blower 114 comprises of a vortex, heater, impeller and an outlet duct. The blower increases the pressure of the air drawn for the surrounding of the extracted groundnuts by a series of vortex motions formed by the centrifugal movement of the impeller. Upon actuation of the blower by the microcontroller, the impeller is rotating wherein the channels in the impeller push the drawn air from the surrounding forward through a heating unit, that increase the temperature of the absorbed air by creating the centrifugal movement that generates a helical movement of the air. During this centrifugal movement, the absorbed air is continuously compressed along the channel and the pressure increases linearly. The pressurized air is transferred from the outlet duct of the blower to the extracted groundnuts to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the groundnuts.

[0040] Further, a weight sensor embedded in the frame monitors weight of the extracted groundnuts. The weight sensor comprises of a convoluted diaphragm and a sensing module. Due to the weight of groundnuts, the size of the diaphragm changes which is detected by the sensing module. The sensing module detects the weight of the extracted groundnuts and on the basis of the changes in sizes of the diaphragm, the acquired data is forwarded to the microcontroller in the form of a signal for further processing to monitors weight of the extracted groundnuts.

[0041] Further, in case the monitored weight exceeds a threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a speaker 113 installed on the platform 101 to produce audio signals for notifying the user to collect the groundnuts. The speaker 113 works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm’s vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the user to collect the groundnuts.

[0042] Lastly, a battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is generally a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0043] The present invention works best in the following manner, comprises of the platform 101 developed to be positioned on the ground surface. Plurality of suction adhere the surface for securing the platform 101 on the surface. Upon securing the platform 101 on the surface, the microphone 103 enables the user to provide input voice commands for removal of groundnuts present in roots of the plant. The artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 captures and processes multiple images in vicinity of the platform 101, respectively to determine positioning of the groundnut plant placed in proximity to the platform 101. Upon determine positioning of the groundnut plant, the telescopically operated L-shaped rod 106 is actuated by the inbuilt microcontroller to extend/retract for positioning the clipper in proximity to the plants, wherein the microcontroller actuates the clipper to acquire the grip of the plant’s stem, for positioning on the motorized U-shaped clamp 115. Further, the laser measurement sensor determines the dimensions of the plant’s stems, based on which the microcontroller actuates the drawer arrangement 107 to increase/decrease dimensions of the clamp 115, to securely hold the plant in the clamp 115. Upon securely hold the plant in the clamp 115, the double slider providing the reciprocating translation to the bar 116 along with the clamp 115 for moving the gripped plant along length of the plates 108, in the manner that the plant’s roots are brushed against the blades 109 for removing groundnuts of the plant’s roots, thereby extracting the groundnuts from the plants. The optical sensor monitors the spacing in between the plates 108, in case the spacing recedes dimensions of the plant, the microcontroller actuates the pair of motorized sliding units 112 to adjust the spacing for properly accommodating the plant in between the plates 108. Further, the meshed frame 110 receive the groundnuts, wherein the vibrating unit 201 is actuated by the microcontroller to produce vibrational sensations in the frame for allowing impurities in the nuts to get filtered through the frame, thereby allowing the user to collect the extracted groundnuts. The moisture sensor detect moisture in the extracted groundnuts, based on which the microcontroller actuates the air blower 114 to provide an optimum amount of air for drying the groundnuts. The weight sensor monitors the weight of the extracted groundnuts, in case the monitored weight exceeds the threshold value, and the microcontroller actuates the speaker 113 to produce audio signals for notifying the user to collect the groundnuts.
