Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing devices, and in particular to a canned orange production device and a processing method. Background Art

[0002] A sealable container made of metal sheets, glass, plastic, cardboard or a combination of some of the above materials is used to store commercial food. After specific treatment, it is commercially sterile and can be kept at room temperature for a long time without spoiling. This type of packaged food is called a can.

[0003] As a kind of canned food, canned oranges are loved by consumers of all ages because of their rich nutrition. Canned oranges in syrup is an important item of citrus processing in my country. Canned oranges in syrup are divided into three categories according to the shape of orange slices: full peeling (whole slices), half peeling (whole slices), and fragments (full peeling or half peeling). At present, when processing canned oranges, the oranges are first rinsed to remove dust on the surface of the orange peel, and then the fruits are peeled, deveined and divided into segments. After peeling, the orange peels on the surface of the orange segments are torn off and the segments are separated one by one. Finally, the orange segments are immersed in 0.5-0.8% hydrochloric acid solution at 25-30℃ for about 30 minutes and gently stirred. When the orange segments are bright and the surface is slightly corroded, they are picked up and rinsed in clean water for 3-5 times, and then immersed in 0.3-0.5% sodium hydroxide solution at 20-30℃ for 5-15 minutes and gently stirred. After cleaning, the finished products are canned, sealed, sterilized and cooled.

[0004] Although this method can quickly obtain the finished product, there are often certain problems in the actual processing process. Some orange peels are thin and stick to the flesh and are not easy to remove. At the same time, once the current peeling machine encounters such thin-skinned oranges, it is easy to cause pulp loss, resulting in juice entering the machine or contaminating the pulp, which brings a certain reduction in processing efficiency and product quality.

[0005] For this reason, a canned orange production device and a processing method are proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment: A canned orange production device comprises a workbench 1;

[0043] A processing slide 2 is arranged on the upper end of the workbench 1. The processing slide 2 is guided and slid along the length direction of the workbench 1. Two slide bars 12 are arranged on the workbench 1 along the length direction of the workbench 1. The two slide bars 12 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the width direction of the workbench 1. The processing slide 2 slides on the two slide bars 12. The outer wall of one of the slide bars 12 is covered with threads, and the contact between the processing slide 2 and the slide bar 12 is provided with a screw groove that matches the thread on the slide bar 12. At the same time, the slide bar 12 is driven by a driving motor installed on the upper end of the workbench 1. In this example, the movement of the processing slide 2 adopts the screw drive method, which is a well-known prior art. This example is not described in detail, and is not shown in detail in the drawings. In actual use, other transmission methods can also be used as an alternative, and are not limited to the transmission method in this example.

[0044] The heating plate 11 is arranged at the upper end of the workbench 1 and is arranged directly below the processing carriage 2 for heating the fruit. The processing carriage 2 is a hollow rectangular structure as a whole. The heating plate 11 is made of a thin aluminum plate with good thermal conductivity. A hot water circulation pipe 111 is arranged at the lower end of the heating plate 11 for continuously supplying heat to the heating plate 11. When the fruit contacts the surface of the heating plate 11, the temperature of the fruit will gradually increase, and the internal moisture will evaporate, so that the surface of the flesh will lose water slightly, so that the adhesion between the flesh and the peel will not be very high, which is convenient for separating the flesh from the skin;

[0045] A feed box 3 is provided at the upper end of the workbench 1. The feed box 3 is located on one side of the processing slide 2. The fruit slides from the feed box 3 into the processing slide 2. An inclined feed channel 31 is provided in the feed box 3, and an arc-shaped end surface of the feed box 3 facing the processing slide 2 is formed in an arc shape and faces the processing slide 2. A lifting plate 21 that can slide along the height direction of the processing slide 2 is provided at one end of the processing slide 2 facing the feed channel 31.

[0046] See attached Figure 4, two slide shafts 211 are symmetrically inserted on both sides of the processing slide 2 along the width direction of the processing slide 2. As the processing slide 2 moves, the lifting plate 21 will gradually shrink. Until it moves to the arc surface discharge port of the feeding channel 31, the acceleration slide 4 is located directly below the discharge port. At this time, oranges are put in and will roll onto the acceleration channel 4. When the processing slide 2 moves, the lifting plate 21 will bounce up. In addition, an opening is provided in the middle of the push rack 5 near one side of the lifting plate 21 and is located at the end of the acceleration channel 4. The fruit will roll into the processing slide 2 from the opening. The lifting plate 21 slides on the two slide shafts 211, and the side end of the processing slide 2 is located directly below the lifting plate 21 and is provided with a slide groove for the lifting plate 21 to slide in.

[0047] The acceleration slide 4 is arranged in the processing slide 2, and is arranged on the side of the processing slide 2 facing the feed box 3, and is used to further accelerate the sliding of the oranges. The acceleration slide 4 is arranged in the processing slide 2 on the side of the lifting plate 21 away from the feed box 3, and the upper end of the acceleration slide 4 is in an arc shape with an arc surface facing the side of the processing slide 2. It is used to catch the fruits sliding down from the feed channel 31, and the accumulation of oranges during feeding can be avoided by acceleration, and the thrust generated by acceleration allows the oranges to move far enough;

[0048] Two pusher racks 5 are arranged in the processing slide 2. The two pusher racks 5 are symmetrically distributed and reciprocate along the length direction of the workbench 1. The two pusher racks 5 cooperate with each other and push the fruits between the two pusher racks 5 to accelerate the sliding on the workbench 1. A pusher plate 51 is connected to the lower end of each pusher rack 5. The two pusher plates 51 are symmetrically distributed with the middle of the workbench 1 as the axis, and the symmetry surface is an inclined surface that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. When the orange passes the corresponding inclined surface of the two pusher plates 51, it will roll upward, providing a certain acceleration effect when sliding down, ensuring that the end surface of the orange can be rolled sufficiently.

[0049] Reference Figure 7 Three guide slots 22 are respectively provided on the two inner end surfaces in the length direction of the processing slide 2, and each guide slot 22 is equidistantly distributed. The two ends of the two pusher racks 5 are respectively slidably installed in the two guide slots 22 located on both sides. A slide rod 221 is inserted in each guide slot 22 along the length direction of the processing slide 2, and each slide rod 221 is respectively sleeved with two springs 222, and the two springs 222 respectively abut against the two ends of the pusher rack 5.

[0050] The two ends of the pusher rack 5 in the width direction extend toward the guide slot 22 and penetrate the side ends of the processing slide 2 and are rounded. A guide block 13 is provided on the upper end of the workbench 1 and on both sides of the processing slide 2 in the width direction. One end of the guide block 13 is always in contact with the side end of the pusher rack 5, and the contact surface is wavy. Through the contact between the wavy guide block 13 and the pusher rack 5, the pusher rack 5 can compress the spring at the corresponding position to generate a rebound force when it moves a certain distance. When it is disengaged, it will bounce on another section of the spring. Under the action of the two springs, the pusher rack 5 will bounce back and forth, pushing the oranges to roll.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 7 The upper end of the workbench 1 is located on the other side of the feed box 3 and is recessed downward to form a feed channel 6. A cover plate 61 is hinged at the channel opening of the feed channel 6.
