Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single-headed garlic root cutting, in particular to a single-headed garlic root cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Single-headed garlic, also known as single garlic, is a plant of the genus Allium in the Amaryllis family; the bulb is solitary and spherical or oblate; it is a famous edible and medicinal plant, among which single-headed black garlic is the main deep-processed product of single-headed garlic because of its good antioxidant effect. The common single-headed black garlic in the market is fermented with the skin, and the fermentation time with the skin is higher than that with the skin; and it needs to be peeled before eating, and the stickiness of the black garlic meat will bring a bad experience to diners; at the same time, single-headed black garlic with skin is not conducive to the development of black garlic products, so single-headed black garlic without skin has emerged. The production process of skinless single-headed black garlic includes root cutting, peeling and other processes. Among them, root cutting is required before mechanized peeling of single-headed garlic using high-speed airflow.

[0003] At present, there are many kinds of garlic root cutting equipment in China, such as the disclosed scheme with patent number CN110495626A, in which the transmission device drives the conveying device to convey intermittently, and a plurality of material cup groups are arranged on the conveying device; the material cup group includes n material cups; the conveying device conveys the material cup group to the bottom of n cutting devices; the detection device is located above the conveying device and is closer to the input end of the conveying device than the cutting device. The conveying chain and material cups are used to convey the garlic, and then the garlic is pressed pneumatically, and the root of the garlic is placed upward; the intermittent movement of the incomplete gear is used to achieve the processing requirements of intermittent conveying of garlic and the garlic stop position is the detection position and the root cutting position.

[0004] The above-mentioned garlic root cutting equipment can only cut the roots of garlic cloves, and the cutting height is fixed, and it is impossible to cut the roots of single garlic. Therefore, the cutting of single garlic roots is still mainly done manually. Since the overall size of single garlic is smaller than that of garlic cloves, it is mostly spherical or flat spherical, which is difficult to fix when cutting the roots. Therefore, manual root cutting is time-consuming and laborious, and the efficiency is low. In addition, there is a lack of safety protection, and it is very dangerous to cut garlic heads by hand. When developing mechanized root cutting equipment, the cutting height of single garlic of different grades and specifications must also be considered.

[0005] In addition, the above-mentioned garlic root cutting device cuts garlic roots intermittently and cannot cut single garlic roots continuously, which affects the cutting efficiency of single garlic roots. Therefore, in view of the above problems, a single garlic root cutting machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] The use process of the root cutter is as follows: the single garlic is placed on the supporting assembly of the conveying mechanism, the driving motor 2 is started to drive the conveying chain 21 to move, and then the supporting assembly drives the single garlic to move toward the pressing wheel 7.

[0035] Embodiment 3, on the basis of embodiment 2, a single garlic root cutting machine, such as Figure 3 As shown, the root cutting mechanism includes a hanging plate 13, which is connected to the frame 1. The hanging plate 13 is provided with a high-speed motor 16. The output end of the high-speed motor 16 is connected to a root cutting knife 28, and the root cutting knife 28 corresponds to the bottom of the profiling cup 4. The frame 1 is also provided with a lifting component for adjusting the relative height of the root cutting knife 28 and the profiling cup 4.

The root cutting knife 28 is a regular decagonal blade, and the inscribed circle diameter of the regular decagonal blade is 140mm and the thickness is 1.2mm. The root cutting knife 28 can cut the roots of the single-headed garlic in the three profiling cups 4 at the same time, which improves the efficiency compared with manual work. The output shaft of the high-speed motor 16 is connected to the knife shaft 27, and the root cutting knife 28 is arranged on the knife shaft 27. The high-speed motor 16 drives the knife shaft 27 to rotate, and then drives the root cutting knife 28 to rotate, so as to achieve the cutting of the root of single-headed garlic; in addition, the lifting component can adjust the relative height of the root cutting mechanism and the supporting component, and then adjust the root cutting height, which is suitable for cutting the roots of single-headed garlic of different grades and specifications.

[0036] Furthermore, the rotation axis of the root cutter 28 is staggered with the rotation axis of the rolling and pressing wheel 7, and the root cutter 28 is located at the rear side of the pressing wheel 7. During the transportation of the single-headed garlic, the single-headed garlic first passes through the axis of the rotating shaft 6, and then passes through the axis of the knife shaft 27, which is used to make the single-headed garlic be pressed by the pressing wheel 7 before contacting the root cutter 28, so as to avoid the single-headed garlic not being pressed tightly and resulting in unsatisfactory root cutting effect. The knife shaft 27 is a hollow shaft, and a pin hole is provided on the side of the hollow shaft. The output shaft of the high-speed motor 16 is plugged into the hollow shaft, and after the output shaft of the high-speed motor 16 is plugged into the hollow shaft, a pin is inserted into the pin hole, and the pin connects and fixes the output shaft of the high-speed motor 16 with the hollow shaft, so as to facilitate the removal of the root cutter 28 and the knife shaft 27 from the high-speed motor 16, and then facilitate the replacement of the root cutter 28, so as to ensure that the root cutter 28 is always in a sharp state, and avoid the situation where the root of the single-headed garlic passes through the root cutter without cutting the root.

[0037] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting platform support plate 15 arranged on the frame 1, a lifting platform 17 is arranged on the lifting platform support plate 15, the hanging plate 13 is a rectangular frame structure, the high-speed motor 16 is located on the inner side of the rectangular frame structure, the high-speed motor 16 is connected to the top of the rectangular frame structure, and the top of the lifting platform 17 is connected to the bottom of the rectangular frame structure. Bolt holes 26 are arranged on the lifting platform support plate 15, and fixing bolts are inserted into the bolt holes 26. The fixing bolts fix the lifting platform support plate 15 to the frame 1. The lifting platform support plate 15 provides support for the lifting platform 17. The lifting platform 17 can drive the hanging plate 13 to move up and down to adjust the height of the hanging plate 13. The lifting of the hanging plate 13 drives the high-speed motor 16 to move up and down, drives the root cutter 28 to move, and adjusts the height of the root cutter 28.

[0038] Specifically, movable bolt holes 12 are provided on the two side plates of the rectangular frame structure. The movable bolt holes 12 are vertically arranged oblong holes. Bolts pass through the movable bolt holes 12 to connect with the frame 1, thereby fixing the hanging plate 13 on the frame 1 and ensuring the structural stability during the rotation of the high-speed motor 16.

[0039] Furthermore, the lifting platform 17 is a scissor-type lifting platform, and an adjusting screw is connected to the lifting platform 17, and one end of the adjusting screw is connected to the adjusting knob 14. By rotating the adjusting knob 14, the adjusting screw can be driven to rotate, and then the scissor-type lifting platform can be driven to rise and fall, so as to adjust the height of the root cutting knife 28. The adjusting knob 14 is engraved with numbers "0", "1", "2" and "3", which respectively represent no root cutting, the first-level single-headed garlic root cutting height, the second-level single-headed garlic root cutting height and the third-level single-headed garlic root cutting height. By adjusting the lifting platform, the root cutting mechanism rises to the corresponding first-level, second-level and third-level single-headed garlic root cutting heights of 7mm, 12mm and 15mm respectively. An arrow is engraved on the outer side of the hanging plate 13, and the arrow points to the adjusting knob 14.

[0040] The height adjustment process of the root cutter 28 is as follows: first, loosen the bolt of the movable bolt hole 12 so that the hanging plate 13 can move relative to the frame 1, and turn the adjusting knob 14 so that the number on the adjusting knob 14 corresponds to the arrow on the hanging plate 13. At this time, it indicates that the root cutter can cut the roots of the corresponding grade of single-headed garlic. The rotation of the adjusting knob 14 can drive the scissor-type lifting platform to adjust the height, lift or lower the hanging plate 13, and realize the lifting and lowering adjustment of the root cutter 28. After the height of the root cutter 28 is adjusted, re-tighten the bolt in the movable bolt hole 12 to fix the relative position of the hanging plate 13 and the frame 1. At this point, the height adjustment of the root cutter 28 is completed.

[0041] Taking the first-grade single-head garlic as an example, the specific implementation method of root cutting is as follows: before the machine is operated, the root cutting height is first adjusted to 28, the bolt of the movable bolt hole 12 is loosened, and the adjusting knob 14 is turned to make the "1" on the adjusting knob 14 rotate to align with the arrow on the hanging plate 13, that is, the root cutting height at this moment is just the root cutting height of the first-grade single-head garlic. If the root cutting height does not meet the requirements, the adjusting knob can be further turned for fine adjustment until the root cutting height is appropriate. After adjusting the root cutting height, the bolt in the movable bolt hole 12 is tightened to fix the root cutting mechanism, and then the machine is started, the high-speed motor 16 and the drive motor 2 are started, and the single-head garlic is manually placed in the profiling cup 4, and the placement process The root of the single-headed garlic is vertically downward so that the root of the single-headed garlic extends out of the bottom opening of the profiling cup 4. During the garlic placing process, the conveying chain 21 moves forward all the time. The single-headed garlic is sent to the bottom of the rolling and pressing mechanism as the conveying chain 21 moves. While the single-headed garlic moves forward, it is gradually pressed due to the rotation of the pressing wheel 7. After pressing, the single-headed garlic contacts the high-speed rotating root cutting wheel 28. The root cutting knife 28 cuts off the root of the single-headed garlic until the root is completely cut off. The single-headed garlic after the root is cut off continues to move forward in the profiling cup 4; after reaching the end of the root cutting machine, the active sprocket 10 drives the conveying chain 21 to rotate, and the single-headed garlic falls into the collecting chute 20, and the root cutting is completed.

[0042] The specific implementation method of cutting the roots of the second and third level single-headed garlic is basically the same as that of the first level single-headed garlic, except that the "2" and "3" on the adjustment knob 14 need to be turned respectively to align with the arrows on the hanging plate 13.

[0043] After tests, the present invention was used to cut the roots of 100 first-grade, second-grade and third-grade single-clove garlics, and the test results showed that the qualified rates of root cutting of single-clove garlics of the three grades and specifications (the number of qualified garlic cloves for root cutting / the total number of garlic cloves) were 86%, 89% and 87% respectively. It was found that most of the garlic cloves with unqualified root cutting were those with relatively flat roots. The single-clove garlics with qualified root cutting were peeled, and the obtained peeling rate (the number of cleaned garlic cloves / the total number of garlic cloves) was 96%. It was found that the unpeeled ones were mainly small first-grade single-clove garlics.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
