Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fruit processing, in particular to fruit processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Fruit processing involves treating fruits and berries with physical, chemical, or biological methods (to inhibit enzyme activity and the activity of spoilage bacteria or to kill them) before processing them into food for preservation. Fruit processing improves flavor, increases edible value and economic benefits, and effectively extends the supply period of the fruit.

[0003] In some fruit wine production or other fruit processing, it is necessary to slice the fruit. However, existing slicing equipment mostly uses a rotary cutter to cut the fruit piece by piece, which results in low fruit cutting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a fruit processing device to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a fruit processing device, comprising a fruit cutting groove, one end of the fruit cutting groove is provided with a blanking port, a fruit cutting box is provided inside the fruit cutting groove, the inner wall of the fruit cutting groove is provided with a shifting guide groove, the shifting guide groove includes a transverse groove and a circular arc groove, two guide pillars are fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the fruit cutting box, the two guide pillars are slidably matched with the shifting guide groove, and the distance between the connection point of the transverse groove and the circular arc groove and the end of the transverse groove close to the blanking port is equal to the distance between the two guide pillars, and the distance between the circular arc grooves is equal to the distance between the two guide pillars. The distance value is also equal to the value of the distance. A plurality of blades are fixedly connected to one end of the fruit cutting box away from the blanking port, and an extrusion surface that cooperates with the blades is provided at one end of the fruit cutting groove away from the blanking port. The processing equipment also includes a rotating drum. A connecting rod is rotatably installed on the edge of the end wall of the rotating drum. The end of the connecting rod away from the rotating drum is rotatably connected to the fruit cutting box. Then, the rotation of the rotating drum can push the fruit cutting box to move horizontally in the fruit cutting groove. The rotating drum rotates clockwise. At this time, the two guide pillars are both located in the transverse groove. The fruit cutting box moves horizontally to the right. When it reaches the state shown in the figure, the right guide pillar cannot move, and the connecting rod cannot move. Continuing to pull the rod will cause the fruit cutting box to flip, that is, the original left guide column enters the arc groove and slides, and forms the state shown in the figure. As the rotating drum continues to rotate, the connecting rod pushes the fruit cutting box obliquely upward, causing the fruit cutting box to flip horizontally and then move left. The top of the fruit cutting groove near the drop port is fixedly connected with multiple inserts, which are arranged corresponding to the gaps between the blades. Fruits such as apples and pears can be placed between the fruit cutting box and the fruit cutting groove. The left movement of the fruit cutting box and the extrusion surface are used to cut the fruit into slices. At this time, the fruit is stuck between the blades, and then the fruit cutting box moves right away from the extrusion surface. After reaching the drop port, it flips upward, and the inserts gradually enter the gaps between the blades, squeezing the sliced ​​fruit downward, so that the sliced ​​fruit falls from the drop port, completing the fruit slicing process. The fruit can be sliced ​​all at once, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency of the equipment. In order to further improve the efficiency, the width of the fruit cutting groove and the fruit cutting box can also be set so that the equipment can put multiple fruits at a time, thereby doubling the slicing efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, a guide device is provided below the drop port, and a conveyor belt is provided at the bottom of the guide device, and the conveyor belt is used to carry and transport the fruit slices.

[0007] Preferably, an inclined guide groove is provided at the top of the fruit cutting groove away from the drop-out port, and the inclined guide groove is connected to the top of the extrusion surface, thereby facilitating the dropping of fruits into the fruit cutting groove from the inclined guide groove.

[0008] Preferably, a vibration ring is provided inside the blade, a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the top of the vibration ring, a vibration motor is fixedly installed outside the fruit cutting box, the connecting piece passes through the top wall of the fruit cutting box and is connected to the vibration end of the vibration motor, and then after slicing, the vibration motor drives the connecting piece to vibrate, causing the middle part of the sliced ​​fruit to vibrate and be squeezed by the vibration ring, thereby separating the core area in the center of the fruit slice to facilitate later separation.

[0009] Preferably, a blowing nozzle is fixedly installed in the side wall of the fruit cutting groove near one end of the drop port, and mesh windows are provided on both side walls of the fruit cutting box. When the fruit cutting box reaches the drop port and flips up, the blowing nozzle blows high-pressure gas into the fruit cutting box, thereby blowing off the fruit core and separating it from the flesh.

[0010] Preferably, the guiding device is a filter plate, which is arranged to be tilted downward at one end near the conveyor belt, and a reversely tilted guide plate is provided at the bottom of the filter plate. When the fruit core falls, it will pass through the filter plate and be guided to fall by the baffle. The fruit core that is still stuck to the fruit slices will also be separated during the falling impact, thereby fully completing the separation of the fruit core and the flesh.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating drum is mounted on a bracket fixedly connected to the fruit cutting groove and is driven to rotate by a motor, thereby realizing the rotation drive of the rotating drum.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating drum is arranged above the conveyor belt, and a soft brush is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum. When the rotating drum rotates, the soft brush is driven to sweep the surface of the fruit slices to remove the remaining debris and fruit cores.

[0013] Preferably, the interior of the drum is provided with additive materials, which are sugar, jam or other food additives, and a spreading port is provided on the side wall of the drum. When the drum rotates and the spreading port passes over the fruit slices, the additive materials inside will be sprinkled on the fruit slices for further processing of the fruit slices, thereby further improving the practicality and functionality of the equipment.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The present invention pushes the fruit cutting box to move horizontally and flip in the fruit cutting groove, and puts the fruit between the fruit cutting box and the fruit cutting groove. The fruit cutting box moves left and is squeezed by the squeezing surface to cut the fruit into slices. At this time, the fruit is stuck between the blades. Then the fruit cutting box moves right away from the squeezing surface, and after reaching the drop port, it flips upward. The inserts gradually enter the gaps between the blades and squeeze the sliced ​​fruit downward, so that the sliced ​​fruit falls from the drop port, completing the fruit slicing process. The fruit can be sliced ​​in one go, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency of the equipment.

[0016] 2. The present invention provides a mesh window inside the blade. After slicing, the vibration motor drives the connecting piece to vibrate, causing the middle part of the sliced ​​fruit to vibrate and be squeezed by the vibration ring, thereby separating the core area in the center of the fruit slice. When the fruit cutting box reaches the drop port and flips up, the air nozzle blows high-pressure air into the fruit cutting box, thereby blowing the core off and separating it from the flesh. When the core falls, it passes through the filter plate and is guided by the baffle to fall. The core still stuck to the fruit slice is also separated during the falling impact, thereby fully completing the separation of the core and the flesh.

[0017] 3. The present invention fills the drum with additive materials, which are sugar, jam or other food additives. A spreading port is provided on the side wall of the drum. When the drum rotates and the spreading port passes over the fruit slices, the additive materials inside will be sprinkled on the fruit slices for further processing, thereby further improving the practicality and functionality of the equipment. When the drum rotates, it drives the soft-bristle brush to sweep the surface of the fruit slices to remove residual debris and fruit cores. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The shift guide groove 12 includes a transverse groove 121 and an arc groove 122. The bottom of the side wall of the fruit cutting box 2 is fixedly connected to two guide pillars 22. The two guide pillars 22 are slidably matched with the shift guide groove 12, and the connection point of the transverse groove 121 and the arc groove 122 is a distance from the end of the transverse groove 121 close to the drop opening 11. The distance between the two guide pillars 22 is equal, and the distance between the arc grooves 122 is also equal to the distance value. The end of the fruit cutting box 2 away from the drop port 11 is fixedly connected to a plurality of blades 21, and the end of the fruit cutting groove 1 away from the drop port 11 is provided with an extrusion surface that cooperates with the blades 21. The processing equipment also includes a rotating drum 3, and the edge of the end wall of the rotating drum 3 is rotatably installed with a connecting rod 5. The end of the connecting rod 5 away from the rotating drum 3 is rotatably connected to the fruit cutting box 2, and then the rotation of the rotating drum 3 can push the fruit cutting box 2 to move horizontally in the fruit cutting groove 1. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drum 3 rotates clockwise, at this time the two guide posts 22 are both located in the transverse groove 121, and the fruit cutting box 2 moves horizontally to the right. Figure 2 In the state, the right guide post 22 cannot move, and the continued pulling of the connecting rod 5 will cause the fruit cutting box 2 to flip, that is, the original left guide post 22 slides into the arc groove 122 and forms a Figure 3The fruit is cut into slices by the action of the blades 21 and the cutting groove 1.

[0031] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a guide device is provided below the drop port 11 , and a conveyor belt 4 is provided at the bottom of the guide device. The conveyor belt 4 is used to carry and transport the fruit slices.

[0032] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an inclined guide groove is provided at the top of the fruit cutting trough 1 away from the drop-out port 11 , and the inclined guide groove is connected to the top of the extrusion surface, thereby facilitating the dropping of fruits into the fruit cutting trough 1 from the inclined guide groove.

[0033] Working principle: By setting the rotating drum 3 and the connecting rod 5 to control the turning and movement of the fruit cutting box 2, the rotation of the rotating drum 3 can push the fruit cutting box 2 to move horizontally in the fruit cutting groove 1, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the drum 3 rotates clockwise, at this time the two guide posts 22 are both located in the transverse groove 121, and the fruit cutting box 2 moves horizontally to the right. Figure 2 In the state, the right guide post 22 cannot move, and the continued pulling of the connecting rod 5 will cause the fruit cutting box 2 to flip, that is, the original left guide post 22 slides into the arc groove 122 and forms a Figure 3The fruit is cut into slices by the action of the blades 21 and the cutting groove 1.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] A fruit processing equipment based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a vibration ring 24 is provided inside the blade 21, and a connecting piece 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the vibration ring 24. A vibration motor 26 is fixedly installed outside the fruit cutting box 2, and the connecting piece 25 passes through the top wall of the fruit cutting box 2 and is connected to the vibration end of the vibration motor 26. Then, after slicing, the vibration motor 26 drives the connecting piece 25 to vibrate, so that the middle part of the sliced ​​fruit vibrates and is squeezed by the vibration ring 24, thereby separating the fruit core area in the center of the fruit slice to facilitate later separation.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a blowing nozzle 15 is fixedly installed in the side wall of the fruit cutting groove 1 near the drop port 11, and mesh windows 23 are provided on both side walls of the fruit cutting box 2. When the fruit cutting box 2 reaches the drop port 11 and flips up, the blowing nozzle 15 blows high-pressure gas into the fruit cutting box 2, thereby blowing off the fruit core and separating it from the flesh (for smaller fruit slices cut from the edge of the apple, there is no fruit core inside because it is far away from the fruit core, but due to its small size, it is easier to leave the blade 21, so it will not block the fruit slices in the central area).

[0037] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the guiding device is a filter plate 13, which is tilted downward at one end close to the conveyor belt 4. A reversely tilted guide plate is provided at the bottom of the filter plate 13. When the fruit core falls, it will pass through the filter plate 13 and be guided downward by the baffle. The fruit core that is still stuck to the fruit slices will also be separated during the falling impact, thereby fully completing the separation of the fruit core and the flesh.

[0038] Working principle: By setting a mesh window 23 inside the blade 21, after slicing, the vibration motor 26 drives the connecting piece 25 to vibrate, so that the middle part of the sliced ​​fruit vibrates and is squeezed by the vibration ring 24, thereby separating the core area at the center of the fruit slice. When the fruit cutting box 2 reaches the drop port 11 and flips up, the air blowing nozzle 15 blows high-pressure gas into the fruit cutting box 2, thereby blowing the core off and separating it from the flesh. When the core falls, it will pass through the filter plate 13 and be guided to fall by the baffle. The core that is still attached to the fruit slice will also be separated during the falling impact, thereby fully completing the separation of the core and the flesh.

[0041] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, if Figure 3 As shown, the rotating drum 3 is arranged above the conveyor belt 4, and a soft brush 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum 3. When the rotating drum 3 rotates, the soft brush 31 is driven to sweep the surface of the fruit slices to remove the remaining debris and fruit cores.

[0042] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, if Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the drum 3 is provided with additive materials, which are sugar, jam or other food additives. A spreading port 32 is provided on the side wall of the drum 3. When the drum 3 rotates and the spreading port 32 passes over the fruit slices, the additive materials inside will be sprinkled on the fruit slices for further processing of the fruit slices, thereby further improving the practicality and functionality of the equipment.

[0043] Working principle: By filling the drum 3 with additive materials, which are sugar, jam or other food additives, a spreading port 32 is opened on the side wall of the drum 3, and then when the drum 3 rotates and the spreading port 32 passes over the fruit slices, the additive materials inside will be sprinkled on the fruit slices for further processing of the fruit slices, thereby further improving the practicality and functionality of the equipment, and when the drum 3 rotates, it drives the soft brush 31 to sweep the surface of the fruit slices to remove the remaining debris and fruit cores.
