Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a garlic peeler. Background Technology

[0002] People often use garlic to enhance the flavor of their dishes, but peeling garlic can be quite tedious. To alleviate the labor intensity of manually peeling garlic, garlic peelers are available on the market.

[0003] The applicant has discovered at least the following technical problems with existing technologies: Some garlic peelers rely on the adsorption force of rubber or silicone materials and the friction of the hand to peel garlic cloves. Due to the manual structure, only a small number of cloves can be peeled at a time, resulting in extremely poor peeling effect and inconvenient cleaning afterward. Other garlic peelers use a stirring mechanism that collides with the cup wall to break the garlic skin. The stirring mechanism is made of hard or soft materials, with silicone peeling blades installed on the stirring blades. The motor drives the stirring component to rub against the cup wall to peel the garlic. The garlic peeler does not completely peel the garlic cloves, which easily damages them.

[0004] Therefore, existing garlic peelers have difficulty completely separating garlic cloves from garlic skin, resulting in poor garlic skin peeling performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a garlic peeler to solve the technical problems of incomplete separation of garlic cloves and skins, and poor peeling effect in existing technologies. The various technical effects of the preferred solutions among the many technical solutions provided by this invention are detailed below.

[0019] Preferably, the skin-breaking mechanism further includes an outer disc, an inner disc, and a limiting rod, wherein:

[0020] The outer disk is fixed to the housing, the support is fixed to the outer disk, and a sliding groove is formed between the inner disk and the outer disk;

[0021] The limiting rod is connected to the rotating block and extends into the slide groove. When any of the rotating blocks rotates, the limiting rod can push the inner disk to rotate relative to the outer disk, thereby causing all the rotating blocks to rotate synchronously.

[0022] Preferably, in the peeling mechanism, the two oppositely arranged rollers rotate in opposite directions, and one end of all the rollers forms a garlic outlet, which is connected to the receiving space;

[0023] The pushing part includes a pushing rod located in the receiving space. The baseline of the pushing rod is a spiral line extending along the length direction of the winch roller.

[0030] The garlic peeler provided by this invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: After the garlic cloves enter the peeler, the machine is started. When the garlic cloves pass through the peeling mechanism, the garlic skin is broken. The broken garlic cloves then enter the peeling mechanism, where multiple rollers surround the garlic cloves.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0048] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "length," "width," "height," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," and "side," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0049] This invention provides a garlic peeler that can completely peel the garlic skin from the garlic cloves, and push the peeled garlic cloves directly out of the shell, thereby improving the peeling effect and work efficiency.

[0050] The following is combined Figures 1-13 The technical solution provided by this invention will be described in more detail below.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] like Figures 1-13 As shown, a garlic peeler according to this embodiment includes a housing 100, a peeling mechanism 2 and a peeling mechanism 5 located inside the housing 100, wherein: the peeling mechanism 2 is used to cut the garlic skin of garlic cloves entering the housing 100; the peeling mechanism 5 includes a winch roller 51 and a pushing part, there are two or more winch rollers 51, all winch rollers 51 surround a receiving space, the winch rollers 51 are rotatable, when the winch rollers 51 rotate, they can suck up and roll up the garlic skin of garlic cloves that have been peeled and entered the receiving space; the pushing part is rotatable in the receiving space, thereby pushing the peeled garlic cloves out of the housing 100.

[0053] In this embodiment of the garlic peeler, after the garlic cloves enter the peeler and the machine is started, the garlic skin is broken as the garlic cloves pass through the breaking mechanism 2. The broken garlic cloves then enter the peeling mechanism 5, where multiple rollers 51 surround the garlic cloves. The rotation of the rollers 51 can suck up and roll up the garlic skin on the broken garlic cloves, thereby separating the garlic skin from the garlic cloves. The pushing part rotates between the rollers 51, which can push the peeled garlic cloves out of the housing 100. The above device can completely peel the garlic skin from the garlic cloves as much as possible, and the peeled garlic cloves are directly pushed out of the housing 100, improving the peeling effect and working efficiency.

[0054] See Figure 1 As shown, the garlic peeler also includes a hopper 1. The housing 100 is covered with a cover 200. After opening the cover 200, garlic cloves can be put into the hopper 1. The hopper 1 is used to temporarily store garlic cloves.

[0055] To ensure that the garlic cloves in the hopper can reach the peeling mechanism 2 for peeling, the garlic peeler in this embodiment includes a conveying mechanism 3, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown in the figure, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveyor belt 31 assembly. There are two or more groups of conveyor belt 31 assemblies. The conveyor belt 31 assembly includes a conveyor belt 31. All conveyor belts 31 enclose a conveying space 303. The conveying space 303 has a feeding port 301 and a discharging port 302. And the cross-sectional area of the conveying space 303 first gradually increases and then gradually decreases along the direction from the feeding port 301 to the discharging port 302. The hopper 1 is connected to the feeding port 301. When the conveyor belt 31 moves, it can suck garlic grains from the feeding port 301 and convey them to the peeling mechanism 2, and push the peeled garlic grains out of the conveying space 303 through the discharging port 302.

[0056] Among them, referring to Figure 6 , raised friction strips 311 are provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 31 to increase the friction force between the conveyor belt 31 and the garlic grains.

[0057] Referring to Figure 5 , the conveyor belt 31 in this embodiment includes six conveyor belts. The cross-sectional area of the conveying space 303 enclosed by the three upper conveyor belts 31 gradually increases along the direction from the feeding port 301 to the discharging port 302, and the cross-sectional area of the conveying space 303 enclosed by the three lower conveyor belts 31 gradually decreases along the direction from the feeding port 301 to the discharging port 302. With the above structure, when the conveyor belt 31 moves, it first rolls the garlic grains through the feeding port 301 with a smaller diameter. After the garlic grains enter the conveying space 303, they descend under the action of gravity, and are pushed out of the conveying space 303 under the friction force of the conveyor belt 31 when reaching the discharging port 302 with a smaller diameter.

[0058] The main function of the conveying mechanism 3 is to suck garlic grains one by one from the feeding port 301 and convey them to the peeling mechanism 2 for peeling.

[0059] In real life, the sizes of garlic grains are different. If the garlic grains are much smaller than the feeding port 301, it is difficult for the conveying mechanism 3 to convey the garlic grains. If the garlic grains are larger than the feeding port 301, it is difficult for the garlic grains to enter the feeding port 301.

[0060] To solve the above problems, in this embodiment, the sizes of the feeding port 301 and the discharging port 302 of the conveying component can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the garlic grains.

[0061] Refer Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the conveyor belt 31 assembly also includes a fixed frame 32, a support 33, a first elastic reset part 34, and a push rod 35. The fixed frame 32 is fixedly connected to the housing 100, and all supports 33 are rotatably connected to the fixed frame 32. The conveyor belt 31 is movably mounted on the corresponding support 33. A groove is provided on the fixed frame 32, and the first elastic reset part 34 is located within the groove. The first elastic reset part 34 can be a reset spring, and its end is connected to the push rod 35. The push rod 35 is connected to the support 33. The support 33 can rotate under the push of the garlic cloves and compress the first elastic reset part 34, thereby expanding the inlet port 301 or the outlet port 302 so that the garlic cloves can pass through the inlet port 301. The rotation is achieved under the push of the first elastic reset part 34, thus resetting the position.

[0062] See Figure 6 Specifically, the end of the first elastic reset part 34 is connected to a locking block 36, which engages with the push rod 35.

[0063] When the garlic cloves move to the feed port 301, they push the support 33 to rotate relative to the fixed frame 32. The end of the support 33 facing the feed port 301 moves away from the axial direction of the housing 100, compressing the first elastic reset part 34. The feed port 301 enlarges, allowing the garlic cloves to enter the conveying space 303 through the feed port 301. After the garlic cloves leave the feed port 301 and enter the conveying space 303, the conveyor belt 31 and the support 33 are no longer affected by the garlic cloves and can reset under the elastic restoring force of the first elastic part. Similarly, the garlic cloves can leave the conveying space 303 from the discharge port 302.

[0064] The above structure allows the inlet port 301 and outlet port 302 to change with the diameter of the garlic cloves, while also increasing the pressure on the garlic cloves in multiple directions (three directions in the figure), making it easier for the garlic cloves to be conveyed smoothly.

[0065] See Figure 2 As shown, in the conveying mechanism 3, the conveyor belts 31 are driven by gear meshing, so that one drive device 61 can drive all the conveyor belts 31 to move synchronously, making the structure more compact. The conveying structure of the conveyor belts 31 will be described below.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] This embodiment is an improvement based on the above embodiments, and provides a specific structure for the skin-breaking mechanism 2:

[0068] See Figures 2-4As shown, the skin-breaking mechanism 2 includes two or more sets of supports 21, rotating blocks 22, second elastic reset parts 23, and conical spikes 24. The supports 21 are fixed to the housing 100, the conical spikes 24 are fixed to the rotating blocks 22, and the rotating blocks 22 are rotatably connected to the supports 21. One end of the second elastic reset part 23 is fixed to the support 21, and the other end is connected to the corresponding rotating block 22. A pushing block 29 is fixed to the other end of the second elastic reset part 23, and the pushing block 29 abuts against the rotating block 22. The conical spikes 24 are inclined, and the distance between all the conical spikes 24 gradually increases along the conveying direction of the garlic cloves. The conical spikes 24 can move away from each other and compress the second elastic reset part 23 (which can be a reset spring) under the push of the garlic cloves, and the conical spikes 24 can move closer to each other under the push of the second elastic reset part 23.

[0069] See Figures 2-4 The aforementioned conical toothed part can be a sharp needle or a sharp knife. The conical piercing part 24 is located on the discharge side of the feed port 301 of the conveying mechanism 3. The garlic cloves can be smoothly conveyed to the conical piercing part 24 under the action of the conveying mechanism 3. Then, the garlic skin is cut open from multiple directions by the conical piercing part 24 of the peeling mechanism 2, which makes it easier for the subsequent peeling mechanism 5 to peel off the garlic skin.

[0070] Because garlic cloves vary in size, in order for the awl-shaped part 24 to effectively cut through the garlic skin, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 The garlic cloves push the cone-shaped thorns 24 away from each other, see [reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 At this time, the rotating part rotates relative to the support 21 and compresses the second elastic reset part 23. When the garlic skin is cut open and the garlic cloves leave the cone 24, the rotating part resets under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic reset part 23, making it easier to break the skin of the next garlic clove.

[0071] In this embodiment, the distance between the cone-shaped parts 24 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the garlic cloves, and the peeling mechanism 2 can peel garlic cloves of different sizes.

[0072] Due to the irregular shape of garlic cloves, when the garlic cloves pass through the peeling mechanism 2, they tend to tilt heavily towards a certain cone-shaped part 24, causing the other cone-shaped parts 24 to be unable to effectively cut the surface of the garlic cloves, thus affecting the peeling effect.

[0073] For the above issues, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the skin-breaking mechanism 2 in this embodiment also includes an outer disk 25, an inner disk 26, and a limiting rod 28. The outer disk 25 is fixed to the housing 100, and the support 21 is fixed on the outer disk 25. A groove 27 is formed between the inner disk 26 and the outer disk 25. The limiting rod 28 is connected to the rotating block 22 and extends into the groove 27. When any rotating block 22 rotates, the limiting rod 28 can push the inner disk 26 to rotate relative to the outer disk 25, thereby making all rotating blocks 22 rotate synchronously.

[0074] See Figure 4 The slide groove 27 has an arc-shaped structure. The cooperation structure between the slide groove 27 and the limiting rod 28 is used to push the inner disk 26 to rotate relative to the outer disk 25 when the rotating block 22 rotates relative to the support 21.

[0075] For details, see Figure 4 As shown, the limiting rod 28 is fixed to the push rod 35. When the garlic cloves pass through the cone-shaped section 24 under the action of the conveying mechanism 3, even if the garlic cloves are irregularly shaped, when the garlic cloves push any rotating block 22 to rotate relative to the support 21, the rotating block 22 pushes the limiting rod 28 to slide in the slide groove 27. The slide groove 27 restricts the movement trajectory of the limiting rod 28, and as the limiting rod 28 moves, the inner plate 26 is pushed by the limiting rod 28, and the inner plate 26 rotates relative to the outer plate 25. In this way, the inner plate 26 can drive the other rotating blocks 22 to rotate through the other limiting rods 28, thereby realizing the synchronous advance and retreat of all cone-shaped sections 24, which can effectively cut the surface of the garlic cloves.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] This embodiment is an improvement based on the above embodiment, and provides a specific structure for the peeling mechanism 5:

[0078] See Figures 9-11 As shown, in the peeling mechanism 5, the two oppositely arranged rollers 51 rotate in opposite directions, and one end of all rollers 51 is surrounded to form a garlic outlet, which is connected to the receiving space; the pushing part includes a pushing rod 52, which is located in the receiving space, and the baseline of the pushing rod 52 is a spiral line extending along the length direction of the rollers 51. When the pushing rod 52 rotates, it can push the garlic cloves that fall into the receiving space to the garlic outlet.

[0079] The above-described structure of the push rod 52 does not affect the garlic cloves falling into the receiving space. The push rod 52 can push the garlic cloves forward along the length direction of the roller 51 when rotating. As the garlic cloves move continuously, the roller 51 continuously rolls up the garlic skin until the garlic cloves are pushed to the garlic outlet and fall out of the housing 100.

[0080] Garlic cloves have a protruding tip at the end (resembling a "small tail"). If this tip gets caught between the winch rollers 51, it can easily cause the winch rollers 51 to jam and become unable to operate. The structure of the aforementioned pushing part can not only solve the problem of the winch rollers 51 getting stuck in time, but also push the peeled garlic cloves out of the garlic opening smoothly.

[0081] See Figure 10 The winch roller 51 is connected to a gear section (the shaft is omitted in the figure) via a shaft. Adjacent gear sections mesh with each other. All gear sections are connected to the same drive device 61. The drive device 61 is used to drive all winch rollers 51 to rotate synchronously, which facilitates the improvement of the structure's compactness. The transmission structure between the drive device 61 and the winch roller 51 is described below.

[0082] See Figure 11 As shown, the number of winch rollers 51 is odd (not limited). Except for the bottommost winch roller 51, the two winch rollers 51 arranged opposite to each other rotate in opposite directions, which facilitates the full winding of garlic skin. The surface of the winch rollers 51 is toothed or has raised strips.

[0083] As an optional implementation, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The peeling mechanism 5 also includes a peeling shell 53 and a peel collection chamber 54. The peeling shell 53 is located inside the housing 100, the winch rollers 51 are located inside the peeling shell 53, and the peel collection chamber 54 is located below all the winch rollers 51 for collecting garlic peels. The peeling shell 53 covers at least the upper part of the peel collection chamber 54. See also Figure 10 The upper side of the peel collection chamber 54 is open, and arc-shaped openings are provided on the opposite side walls of the peel collection chamber 54. At least part of the lowermost roller 51 is below the upper edge of the peel collection chamber 54. The above-mentioned cooperation structure between the peeler and the peel collection chamber 54 ensures that the garlic peels rolled up by the roller 51 fall accurately into the peel collection chamber 54, preventing the garlic peels from entering other mechanisms.

[0084] In this embodiment, the garlic cloves fall between the rollers 51 of the peeling mechanism 5. The rollers 51 adsorb and peel the garlic skin. The garlic skin is adsorbed by the rollers 51 and falls into the skin collection chamber 54. The peeled garlic cloves are pushed to the garlic outlet by the spiral push rod 52.

[0085] After the garlic cloves pass through the peeling mechanism 2, the garlic skin is slightly raised. To facilitate the peeling mechanism 5 in further removing the garlic skin from the garlic cloves, the garlic peeler in this embodiment also includes a peeling mechanism 4. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the peeling mechanism 4 is located between the breaking mechanism 2 and the peeling mechanism 5. The peeling mechanism 4 includes a base 41, and all bases 41 surround a feeding port 43, which is connected to the receiving space. A roller brush 42 is provided on the base 41. The roller brush 42 is rotatable, and when the roller brush 42 rotates, it can peel off the garlic skin on the garlic cloves passing through the feeding port 43. See also Figure 8 Each roller brush 42 is connected to a gear. The three gears are driven by a belt, and one of the gears is connected to the drive unit 61. The specific transmission method is described below.

[0086] See Figure 2 The peeling mechanism 4 is located on the discharge side of the discharge port 302. Its function is as follows: after the garlic cloves are peeled by the peeling mechanism 2, they are conveyed by the conveying mechanism 3 to the peeling mechanism 4. The roller brush 42 on the peeling mechanism 4 brushes from multiple directions (see...). Figure 7 The movement of the garlic cloves (shown in three directions in the diagram) causes the garlic skin to become scattered. After being acted upon by the peeling mechanism 4, the garlic cloves enter the peeling mechanism 5, which facilitates the winding roller 51 to roll up the scattered garlic skin and makes it easier for the peeling mechanism 5 to fully peel the garlic skin from the garlic cloves. (The surface material of the roller brush 42 is the same as that of a regular brush).

[0087] Example 4

[0088] This embodiment is an improvement based on the above embodiment. See also... Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the garlic peeler in this embodiment includes a drive mechanism 6, which includes a drive device 61 and a power shaft 62. The drive device 61 is driven to rotate the power shaft 62 around its own axis. The power shaft 62 extends from the peeling mechanism 5 to the conveying mechanism 3. The power shaft 62 is connected to the winch roller 51, the power shaft 62 is connected to the conveyor belt 31, and the power shaft 62 is connected to the roller brush 42 through gear transmission.

[0089] Specifically, the drive unit 61 includes a motor, which is driven by the drive shaft 62. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, a first power gear 621, a second power gear 622, and a third power gear 623 are fixedly mounted on the power shaft 62. The first power gear 621 meshes with the gear connected to any one of the winches 51 and also meshes with the gear connected to the push rod 52. Figure 10 As shown, when the power shaft 62 drives the first power gear 621 to rotate, it can drive the winch roller 51 and the push rod 52 to rotate; see also Figure 8The second power gear 622 meshes with the gear connected to any of the roller brushes 42, and all the gears connected to the roller brushes 42 are connected by belt drive. When the power shaft 62 drives the second power gear 622 to rotate, all the roller brushes 42 can rotate synchronously. See also Figure 2 As shown, the third power gear 623 meshes with the gear connected to any of the conveyor belts 31, and the conveyor belts 31 are connected to each other through synchronous gear transmission. When the power shaft 62 drives the third power gear 623 to rotate, all the conveyor belts 31 can move synchronously.

[0090] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 6 has the same drive device 61 and power shaft 62 driving connection. One power shaft 62 can provide power to the conveying mechanism 3, the skin-lifting mechanism 4 and the skin-peeling mechanism 5 at the same time, and the structure is compact.

[0091] As an optional implementation, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the drive unit 61 includes a power housing 300, and the drive unit 61 (motor) is located inside the power housing 300. A bevel gear 64 (such as...) is provided on the power housing 300. Figure 10 The drive unit 61 is connected to the bevel gear 64 via a drive mechanism (e.g., through gear transmission). Figure 2 (as shown); see also Figure 13 A sleeve 63 is fixed on the power shaft 62. A meshing cavity 631 is provided inside the sleeve 63. A bevel gear 64 extends into the meshing cavity 631. The bevel gear 64 meshes with the sleeve 63 to drive the power shaft 62 to rotate.

[0092] See Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the drive device 61 (motor) drives the power shaft 62 to rotate through the meshing structure of the bevel gear 64 and the meshing cavity 631.

[0093] This embodiment provides a structure that facilitates the disassembly of the leather collection compartment 54:

[0094] See Figure 14 The side wall of the leather collection chamber 54 is provided with a positioning block 541, and the housing 100 is provided with a positioning slot 101. The leather collection chamber 54 can extend into the positioning slot 101 along the axial direction of the housing 100 and connect with the housing 100.

[0095] See Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, the power compartment 300 is provided with a plug-in block 7, and the housing 100 (the upper part of the power compartment) is provided with a receiving groove 102. The plug-in block 7 is inserted into the receiving groove 102 and the two are interference-fitted, thereby detachably connecting the power compartment 300 and the housing 100. When the power compartment 300 and the housing 100 are assembled in place, the bevel gear 64 extends into the meshing cavity 631 and meshes with the sleeve 63 for transmission.

[0096] See Figure 12 The plug-in block 7 is a conical block, the diameter of which gradually decreases in the direction away from the power compartment 300, and the receiving groove 102 is a conical groove adapted to the conical block. The above structure facilitates the stable connection between the power compartment 300 and the housing 100 (the upper body) when the plug-in block 7 is inserted into the receiving groove 102.

[0097] When it is necessary to disassemble the peel collection chamber 54, pull out the power chamber 300 in the direction away from the housing 100, and the bevel gear 64 will separate from the sleeve 63, thus separating the power chamber 300 and the housing 100; the peel collection chamber 54 can be pulled out in the direction away from the housing 100, thus separating the peel collection chamber 54 from the housing 100, thereby facilitating the dumping of garlic peels.

[0098] The above structure eliminates the need for screws or other locking components to connect the power chamber and the housing, resulting in a simple structure that facilitates emptying garlic peels from the peel collection chamber 54. Both the plug-in block 7 and the bevel gear 64 are conical structures, which improves the stability of the connection between the power chamber 300 and the housing 100. When the drive device 61 (motor) rotates, it only drives the power shaft 62 to rotate.

[0099] In this embodiment, the power compartment 300 and the power shaft 62 are detachable. The power compartment 300 can be removed independently for easy maintenance and replacement, and also facilitates the cleaning of garlic peels by the peel collection compartment 54.
