Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for removing thorns and skin of cacti, belonging to the technical field of peel removal devices. Background Art

[0002] Cactus processing and production companies mostly remove thorns manually. Mechanical thorn removal is also available on the market. However, existing thorn removal devices often use shavings to remove the cactus's skin. This method leaves the cactus in a flake shape, with the skin removed from both the top and bottom surfaces, but a small amount of skin remains around the outside. Therefore, how to ensure the integrity of the cactus after thorn removal while also removing the skin completely has become a challenge for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to achieve rapid and effective removal of the cactus skin, a device for removing thorns and skin of cactus is provided.

[0004] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A device for removing thorns and skin from cacti, comprising a frame and a conveyor belt mounted on the frame, with cutters mounted on the conveyor belt; the device is special in that the conveyor belt comprises a front conveyor belt and a rear conveyor belt, with a gap for installing cutters left between the front conveyor belt and the rear conveyor belt; the cutters comprise side thorn removal cutters, and upper and lower thorn removal cutters; a first limiting roller group and a second limiting roller group are mounted on the front conveyor belt, a pair of side thorn removal cutters are mounted between the first limiting roller group and the second limiting roller group, and the upper and lower thorn removal cutters are mounted in the gap between the front conveyor belt and the rear conveyor belt; a third limiting roller group is mounted on the rear conveyor belt.

[0006] The advantages of the above technical solution are: by setting two front and rear conveyor belts, a crossbeam is placed between the conveyor belts for installing tools, which can be used to install thorn removal tools or thorn removal tools; the roller is used to press the cactus to prevent the cactus from shifting when removing the thorns; the side thorn removal tool is used to remove the skin on both sides, and the upper and lower thorn removal tools are used to remove the skin on the upper and lower sides.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, this application makes the following improvements and enhancements to the above technical solution:

[0008] Furthermore, the first limiting roller group includes a roller with both ends mounted on a bearing seat, and one end of the roller shaft of the roller is connected to the output shaft of the roller motor through a coupling.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the aforementioned technical features in this application are as follows: the rotating shaft motor utilizes a stepper motor, which provides power to the rotating shaft. As the core power source of the device, the stepper motor drives the roller through precise stepping control, thereby providing stable forward momentum to the cactus passing below. The precise control of the stepper motor makes the processing process more stable and controllable.

[0010] Furthermore, the first limiting roller group also includes a floating mechanism, which includes a fixed seat plate and a floating seat plate. The four corners of the floating seat plate are provided with fixing pin through holes. After the spring is installed on the fixing pin, the insertion end of the fixing pin passes through the fixing pin through hole on the floating seat plate and is fixedly installed on the fixed seat plate; the bearing seats at the connecting ends of the rollers are fixedly installed on a floating structure, and the roller motor is also fixed on the floating mechanism.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the above technical features in this application is: because the cacti have different thicknesses, when the cacti pass through the roller, they can push up the rotating shaft, and the springs on both sides play a role in applying pressure.

[0012] Furthermore, the first limiting roller group further includes a counterweight block, which is fixedly mounted on the floating mechanism; the counterweight block and the roller motor are located on both sides of the roller.

[0013] The beneficial effect of the above technical features in this application is: in order to prevent the two sides of the roller from losing balance, the two ends of the roller shaft are balanced by setting counterweights.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper and lower stabbing tools include an upper stabbing tool and a lower stabbing tool; the upper stabbing tool is installed on the gantry, and the lower stabbing tool is installed on the fixed beam.

[0015] Furthermore, the bayonet removal knife includes a fixed plate, and first connecting ears are provided on both sides of the fixed plate; second connecting ears are provided on both sides of the knife plate; the knife pin rod passes through the first connecting ears on both sides of the fixed plate and the second connecting ears on both sides of the knife plate to connect the fixed plate and the knife plate, and at least two torsion springs are installed on the knife pin rod, and the two protruding legs of the torsion spring are respectively connected to the knife plate and the fixed plate.

[0016] The above technical features have the following beneficial effects in this application: the up-burring tool is fixed on the motor base, and the down-burring tool is fixed on the production line beam. The blade consists of a fixed base and a deburring blade, which are connected by a torsion spring.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are: using automated equipment to replace manual labor, performing the peeling and de-thorning processes with automated processing equipment, reducing labor costs, improving processing efficiency, shortening shipping time, and enhancing enterprise competitiveness. Through the rational design of machinery, the enterprise's operating efficiency can be significantly improved and personnel costs can be reduced. The efficiency and reliability of the equipment enable enterprises to increase production speed and output while ensuring product quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
