Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, when making strawberry jam, strawberries of various sizes need to be used as raw materials, so it is difficult to keep the fruit of strawberries, and the use of the fruit stem removal devices described in the above-mentioned patent documents 1 to 3 is difficult.
For this reason, it is necessary to remove the stems of the strawberries by manual work by a large number of operators during the very short harvest period of the strawberries for jam, which cannot improve the production efficiency.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0064] First refer to Figure 1 to Figure 7 The strawberry stem removal device of the first embodiment will be described.

[0065] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, on the base 10 of the strawberry stem removal device 100 according to the first embodiment, a control panel 11 for controlling the operation of the device is provided. In addition, the base 10 is respectively provided with: a transport unit 20 that transports the fruit I forward while holding the stem K of the strawberry and suspending the fruit I; The positioning unit 30 for positioning the fruit I in the up-down direction; the cutting unit 40 for cutting the upper end of the fruit I of the positioned strawberry together with the stem H.

[0066] The conveying unit 20 is provided with a pair of left and right endless belts 21a, 21b, and the left and right pair of endless belts 21a, 21b clamp the stem K of strawberries cut into a predetermined length, for example, 50 to 100 mm long when strawberries are h...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0111] Second, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The fruit stem removal device of the strawberry of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.

[0112] The strawberry stem removal device 100 of the above-mentioned first embodiment uses the endless belts 21a and 21b made of soft polymer material, and has a structure in which the stem K of the strawberry slides on the surface.

[0113] On the other hand, the stem removal apparatus 200 of the strawberry of this 2nd Embodiment is a structure using the left-right paired endless chain 50a, 50b which connected the some block made of hard resin.

[0114] refer to Figure 8 Specifically, the left and right pair of endless chains 50a, 50b are connected in an endless chain shape by connecting front and rear ends of a plurality of L-shaped blocks 51a, 51b with pins not shown.

[0115] And the endless chains 50a, 50b are guided by the left and right pair of guide rails 52a, 52b, and are respectively wound around the left and right pair of driving s...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0132] Second, refer to Figure 10 The strawberry stem removal device of the third embodiment will be described.

[0133] The strawberry stem removal device 300 of the third embodiment is the same as the device 200 of the above-mentioned second embodiment, and uses a structure of an endless chain formed by connecting a plurality of blocks made of hard resin, but it is different from the above-mentioned first and The difference between the fruit stem removing devices 100 and 200 of the second embodiment is that one endless chain 60 is used.

[0134] The endless chain 60 is the same as the strawberry stem removal device 200 of the second embodiment, is respectively wound on a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket, and is driven by the electric motor 24 to circulate along a predetermined track in the front-rear direction. .

[0135] In addition, this endless chain 60 circulates along the endless track arrange|positioned in a horizontal plane similarly to 2nd Embodiment.

Abstract

A strawberry hulling device capable of reliably and efficiently removing the hull of a strawberry irrespective of the size of the fruit of the strawberry. A strawberry hulling device is provided with: a conveyance means for conveying the strawberry forward while holding the stem of the strawberry with the fruit suspended; a positioning means for positioning the fruit of the strawberry in the vertical direction by making contact with the upper portion of the hull of the strawberry which is being conveyed forward; and a cutting means for cutting, together with the hull, the upper end portion of the fruit of the positioned strawberry. Rotating blades make contact with the upper end portion of the fruit of the strawberry which has been positioned in the left-right direction and the vertical direction by a pair of left and right bar-like members which serves as the positioning means. This causes the upper end portion of the fruit of the strawberry together with the hull to be cut away by a triangular groove cut by the rotating blades, and as a result the fruit drops. In this way, the hull can be reliably removed irrespective of the size of the fruit of the strawberry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for removing fruit stems from strawberry fruits, and more specifically, relates to a technique improved so that the fruit stems can be reliably removed regardless of the size of strawberry fruits. Background technique [0002] In the past, strawberries were widely used as raw materials for cakes, jams, etc., but the stems and stems of strawberries were hard to eat, so they were removed by hand or with a stem remover. [0003] At this time, in the "apparatus for removing and cutting fruit pedicles" described in Patent Document 1 below, the strawberry fruit is supported in a horizontally lying state, and the pedicles are cut with a drill-shaped cutter. Part of the stem is removed. [0004] In addition, in the "fruit pedicle remover" described in the following patent document 2, the fruit pedicle of the strawberry is supported in an upright state with the fruit pedicle part of the strawberry positioned below, and...
