Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of tangerine peel processing machinery, and particularly relates to a tangerine peel processing production line.

Background Art

[0002] In China, the consumption of tangerine peel has a long history. "Ginseng of a thousand years, tangerine peel of a hundred years". As one of the substances that can be used both as medicine and food, tangerine peel belongs to the dried mature pericarp of the citrus plant and its cultivated varieties of the Rutaceae family. It has high medicinal value, such as expectorant and cough-relieving, promoting qi flow and relieving constipation, regulating qi and strengthening the spleen, and has a certain effect on inhibiting tumor and cancer cell growth. In the production process of tangerine peel, citrus peel is mostly used, and the citrus peel needs to be dried and then stored for aging. According to the existing technology, tangerine peel aging is a process in which, under natural conditions, keeping dry and well-ventilated, the product is stored (generally referring to the preservation of a sufficient large batch of samples) in a packaging container with good air permeability. As time changes, the effective internal substances of the dried citrus peel change in terms of color, aroma, taste and composition due to the growth and decline under the action of enzymes. The citrus peel aged for three years or more can be called tangerine peel.

[0003] In the prior art, when large-scale production of tangerine peel is carried out, mostly the citrus peel is manually peeled off, then dried and then aged. Its mechanization degree is low, resulting in low production efficiency of tangerine peel and high labor cost. Therefore, providing a production line capable of mechanized processing and production of tangerine peel is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0008] Further, the peeling component further includes a meat pushing plate. The meat pushing plate is located on the side of the fruit passing plate away from the peel passing plate, and the meat pushing plate can reciprocate along the length direction of the fruit passing plate.

[0009] Further, the fruit delivery member includes a flat plate, an inclined plate, a lifting cylinder, a connecting plate, a fruit delivery rod, and a fruit receiving plate. The flat plate is installed at the conveying end of the conveying part and is located below the peeling plate. The flat plate is provided with a fruit delivery hole corresponding to the peeling hole; the lifting cylinder is installed below the flat plate. The connecting plate is connected to the operating rod of the lifting cylinder and the connecting plate extends along the length direction of the peeling plate. The fruit delivery rod is installed on the connecting plate and the fruit delivery rod corresponds to the fruit delivery hole.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The conveying part conveys the citrus to the end of the conveyor. Under the action of inertia, the citrus falls onto the fruit-feeding part. At this time, the fruit-blocking plate moves downward relative to the conveying part until it contacts the end of the conveyor of the conveying part, and the conveying part stops conveying. Then, the citrus on the conveying part is blocked by the fruit-blocking plate and will not fall from the conveying part. The fruit-feeding part rises relative to the fruit-passing plate, and the citrus moves towards the fruit-passing plate under the drive of the fruit-feeding part. When the citrus touches the arc-shaped blade, the arc-shaped blade is pushed by the citrus and the arc-shaped blade inserts into the citrus peel. As the citrus continues to rise, the arc-shaped blade unfolds in the direction away from the axis of the through-hole. The fruit-feeding part continues to rise relative to the fruit-passing plate. The arc-shaped blade peels the citrus peel from the citrus, and under the blocking of the arc-shaped blade, the citrus peel accumulates below the arc-shaped blade. When the pulp passes through the through-hole to the upper part of the fruit-passing plate, the pulp is separated, that is, the separation of the citrus peel and the pulp is completed. During the process of the fruit-feeding part descending relative to the fruit-passing plate, the citrus peel slides towards the drying component for drying. The dried citrus peel is guided by the guiding component from the drying component into several aging boxes for aging. It can be seen that the present invention can connect the processes of citrus peeling, drying and collecting and aging in the production process of tangerine peel into a production line, reducing the labor cost and effectively improving the production efficiency of tangerine peel.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a dried tangerine peel processing production line for the production and processing of dried tangerine peel with citrus as the raw material. The dried tangerine peel processing production line includes a peeling component, a drying component, an aging component, and a guiding component. The peeling component includes a frame 1, a conveying part 2, a fruit blocking plate 3, a peel separating part 4, and a fruit feeding part 5.

[0027] The conveying part 2 is a conveyor belt in the prior art. The conveying part 2 is installed on the frame 1. Specifically, the frame 1 is a long strip-shaped frame. The conveying part 2 is installed on the frame 1 and extends along the length direction of the frame 1. The driving component of the conveying part 2 is a motor, which is not shown in the figure. The motor is installed on the frame 1 and connected to the conveying part 2. The method of driving the conveyor belt to convey by the motor is the prior art and will not be elaborated here. A receiving plate 21 is installed at the bottom of the side of the conveyor belt for conveying. The opposite sides of the receiving plate 21 are connected to the frame 1. The setting of the receiving plate 21 can support the citrus during conveyance.

[0028] The fruit blocking plate 3 is in contact with the conveying end of the conveying part 2 and can move up and down relative to the conveying part 2. Specifically, an installation plate 100 is provided above the fruit blocking plate 3, and a vertical cylinder 31 is installed on the installation plate 100 and connected to the fruit blocking plate 3. The vertical cylinder 31 drives the fruit blocking plate 3 to move up and down relative to the conveying part 2.

[0029] The peel separating part 4 includes a fruit passing plate 41 and several peeling parts 42. The fruit passing plate 41 is installed above the conveying end of the conveying part 2. Specifically, the fruit passing plate 41 is installed on the frame 1 and located above the conveying end of the conveying part 2. The fruit passing plate 41 extends along the width direction of the frame 1 and is provided with a fruit pushing groove 413 penetrating both ends. Through holes 411 are penetrated through the fruit passing plate 41. Specifically, the number of the through holes 411 is several and all are circular. The several through holes 411 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41. Several peeling parts 42 are installed between the fruit passing plate 41 and the conveying part 2, and the several peeling parts 42 are arranged in a circumferential array along the through holes 411. The peeling part 42 includes an arc-shaped blade 421, and the arc-shaped blade 421 can expand in a direction away from the axis of the through hole 411 when stressed. Specifically, a group of several peeling parts 42 are installed at each through hole 411, and the side of the arc-shaped blade 421 facing away from the through hole 411 is the blade edge.

[0030] The fruit feeding part 5 is installed at the conveying end of the conveying part 2 and is located below the fruit passing plate 41, and the fruit feeding part 5 can rise relative to the fruit passing plate 41 to between several peeling parts 42, or descend relative to the fruit passing plate 41. The drying component is arranged on the side of the fruit feeding part 5 facing away from the conveying part 2. The drying component is used for drying the citrus peel and conveying the citrus peel to a position higher than the conveying part 2; the aging component includes several aging boxes 61, and the several aging boxes 61 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the drying component; the guiding component is used for guiding the citrus peel dried by the drying component into the several aging boxes 61.

[0031] When using the above-mentioned tangerine peel processing production line to produce tangerine peel, the citrus fruits fall onto the fruit feeder 5 under the action of inertia. At this time, the fruit baffle 3 moves downward relative to the conveying part 2 until it contacts the conveying end of the conveying part 2, and the conveying part 2 stops conveying. Then, the citrus fruits on the conveying part 2 are blocked by the fruit baffle 3 and will not fall from the conveying part 2; the fruit feeder 5 rises relative to the fruit passing plate 41, and the citrus fruits move towards the fruit passing plate 41 under the drive of the fruit feeder 5. When the citrus fruits touch the arc blade 421, the arc blade 421 is subjected to the thrust of the citrus fruits and the arc blade 421 inserts into the citrus peel. As the citrus fruits continue to rise, the arc blade 421 unfolds in a direction away from the axis of the through hole 411. The fruit feeder 5 continues to rise relative to the fruit passing plate 41, and the arc blade 421 peels the citrus peel from the citrus fruits, and under the block of the arc blade 421, the citrus peel accumulates below the arc blade 421; when the pulp passes through the through hole 411 to the upper part of the fruit passing plate 41, the pulp is separated, that is, the separation of the citrus peel and the pulp is completed; during the process of the fruit feeder 5 descending relative to the fruit passing plate 41, the citrus peel slides towards the drying assembly for drying; the dried citrus peel is guided into a number of aging boxes 61 from the drying assembly through the guiding assembly for aging. It can be seen that the present invention can connect the processes of citrus peeling, drying and collecting and aging in the production process of tangerine peel into a production line, reducing the labor cost and effectively improving the production efficiency of tangerine peel.

[0032] In this embodiment, the peel separating member 4 further includes a peel passing plate 47, and the peel passing plate 47 is installed between the fruit passing plate 41 and the fruit feeder 5.

Specifically, one end of the peel passing plate 47 is installed on the frame body 1, and the peel passing plate 47 extends along the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41; the number of the peel passing holes 471 is the same as the number of the through holes 411, and a number of peel passing holes 471 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the peel passing plate 47, and one peel passing hole 471 is coaxially arranged with one through hole 411.

[0033] The peeling section 42 further includes a hinge rod 422 and a guide wheel 423. The hinge rod 422 is located between the fruit skin passing plate 47 and the fruit passing plate 41. One end of the hinge rod 422 is hinged to the periphery of the fruit skin passing hole 471. Specifically, one end of the hinge rod 422 is installed on the periphery of the fruit skin passing hole 471 through a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is not shown in the figure; a torsion spring 420 is installed on the side of one end of the hinge rod 422 away from the fruit skin passing hole 471, and the two free ends of the torsion spring 420 are respectively abutted against the fruit skin passing plate 47 and one end of the hinge rod 422. The guide wheel 423 is installed at the other end of the hinge rod 422, and the axis of the guide wheel 423 is perpendicular to the axis of the fruit skin passing hole 471. Specifically, a notch is formed at the end of the other end of the hinge rod 422, and the guide wheel 423 is rotatably installed in the notch. The arc-shaped blade 421 is installed on the side of the other end of the hinge rod 422 facing the fruit feeding member 5. The arc-shaped blade 421 extends along the circumferential direction of the fruit skin passing hole 471 and is inclined relative to the axis of the fruit skin passing hole 471 toward the hinge rod 422.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fruit feeding member 5 includes a flat plate 51, an inclined plate 52, a lifting cylinder 53, a connecting plate 54, a fruit feeding rod 55 and a fruit receiving plate 56. The flat plate 51 is installed at the transmission end of the transmission section 2 and is located below the fruit skin passing plate 47. Specifically, one end of the flat plate 51 is fixedly installed on the frame body 1, and the flat plate 51 extends along the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41. The flat plate 51 is provided with a fruit feeding hole 511 corresponding to the fruit skin passing hole 471. Specifically, the number of the fruit feeding holes 511 is the same as the number of the through holes 411, and several fruit feeding holes 511 are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the flat plate 51; the fruit feeding holes 511 are in an inverted trumpet shape, and its wider end faces the fruit skin passing hole 471. The lifting cylinder 53 is installed below the flat plate 51. The connecting plate 54 is connected to the operating rod of the lifting cylinder 53 and the connecting plate 54 extends along the length direction of the fruit skin passing plate 47. The number of the fruit feeding rods 55 is several, and several fruit feeding rods 55 are installed on the connecting plate 54 and one fruit feeding rod 55 corresponds to one fruit feeding hole 511. Specifically, the number of the fruit feeding rods 55 is the same as the number of the fruit feeding holes 511. One end of several fruit feeding rods 55 is installed on the connecting plate 54, and the fruit feeding rods 55 extend toward the fruit feeding holes 511 and one fruit feeding rod 55 is coaxially arranged with one fruit feeding hole 511. The fruit receiving plate 56 is installed at the end of the fruit feeding rod 55 away from the connecting plate 54, and the outer diameter of the fruit receiving plate 56 is adapted to the inner diameter of the fruit feeding hole 511. Specifically, one fruit feeding rod 55 is provided with a fruit receiving plate 56 at the end away from the connecting plate 54, and the outer diameter of the fruit receiving plate 56 is adapted to the inner diameter of the narrower end of the fruit feeding hole 511. A groove is recessed on the side of the fruit receiving plate 56 facing the fruit skin passing hole 471 for limiting the citrus. In the initial state, the fruit receiving plate 56 is located in the narrower end of the fruit feeding hole 511 for receiving the citrus. The inclined plate 52 is connected to the side of the flat plate 51 away from the transmission section 2 and extends obliquely downward away from the transmission section 2 to the drying assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the peeling assembly further includes a meat pushing plate 412. The meat pushing plate 412 is located on the side of the fruit passing plate 41 away from the peel passing plate 47, and the meat pushing plate 412 can reciprocate along the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41. Specifically, the width of the meat pushing plate 412 is adapted to the width of the fruit pushing groove 413. One end of the frame 1 corresponding to the fruit pushing groove 413 is provided with a fruit pushing cylinder (not shown in the figure). The fruit pushing cylinder is connected to the meat pushing plate 412 to drive the meat pushing plate 412 to reciprocate along the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41. When the pulp passes through the through hole 411 to the upper side of the fruit passing plate 41, the fruit pushing cylinder pushes the meat pushing plate 412 towards the other end of the fruit passing plate 41, and then the pulp can be pushed out of the fruit passing plate 41 from the fruit pushing groove 413 to separate the pulp from the citrus peel.

[0036] In this embodiment, the peeling assembly further includes a peel pushing plate 44. The peel pushing plate 44 is located between the peel passing plate 47 and the flat plate 51, and the peel pushing plate 44 can reciprocate along the width direction of the flat plate 51. Specifically, a peel pushing motor 46 is installed on the wall between the peel passing plate 47 and the flat plate 51. The peel pushing plate 44 is connected to the peel pushing motor 46, and the peel pushing motor 46 drives the peel pushing plate 44 to reciprocate along the width direction of the flat plate 51.

[0037] In this embodiment, the peeling assembly further includes a falling prevention plate 43. The falling prevention plate 43 is in contact with the side of the flat plate 51 away from the conveying part 2 and is located above the inclined plate 52. The falling prevention plate 43 can rise or fall relative to the flat plate 51. Specifically, a falling prevention cylinder 45 is provided above the falling prevention plate 43 corresponding to the mounting plate 100. The falling prevention cylinder 45 is connected to the falling prevention plate 43 to drive the falling prevention plate 43 to rise or fall relative to the flat plate 51. Before the citrus falls onto the fruit feeding member 5 under the action of inertia, the falling prevention cylinder 45 drives the falling prevention plate 43 to descend until it contacts the flat plate 51, which can prevent the citrus from directly falling onto the inclined plate 52.

[0038] The operation method and principle of the peel separating member 4 include the following steps:

[0039] S1: Drive the peel pushing plate 44 to the side of the falling prevention plate 43 away from the conveying part 2. Specifically, the peel pushing plate 44 moves along the width of the flat plate 51 to the side of the falling prevention plate 43 away from the conveying part 2 under the drive of the peel pushing motor 46.

[0040] S2: Drive the falling prevention plate 43 to contact the flat plate 51. Specifically, the falling prevention cylinder 45 drives the falling prevention plate 43 to descend until it contacts the flat plate 51.

[0041] S3. The conveying unit 2 conveys the citrus fruits towards the peeling unit 42, and the citrus fruits finally fall onto the fruit receiving plate 56. Specifically, when the citrus fruits are conveyed to the end of the conveyor belt, the citrus fruits fall onto the flat plate 51 under the action of inertia. Since the fruit feeding holes 511 are in an inverted trumpet shape, under the guidance of the fruit feeding holes 511, the citrus fruits fall onto the fruit receiving plate 56. The fruit blocking plate 3 moves downward relative to the conveying unit 2 until it contacts the conveying end of the conveyor belt, and the conveying unit 2 stops conveying. Then, the citrus fruits on the conveying unit 2 are blocked by the fruit blocking plate 3 and will not fall off the conveyor belt.

[0042] S4. Adjust the position of the skin pushing plate 44. Specifically, the anti-falling air cylinder 45 drives the anti-falling plate 43 to rise above the skin passing plate 47, and the skin pushing motor 46 drives the skin pushing plate 44 to move to the side of the flat plate 51 facing the conveyor belt.

[0043] S5. The fruit receiving plate 56 conveys the citrus fruits towards the peeling unit 42. Specifically, the lifting air cylinder 53 pushes the fruit feeding rod 55 and the fruit receiving plate 56 through the fruit feeding holes 511 and moves towards the through hole 411.

[0044] S6. The arc-shaped blade 421 peels the citrus fruit skin. Specifically, after the citrus fruit passes through the skin passing hole 471, the top of the citrus fruit contacts the blade edge of the arc-shaped blade 421, and the blade edge of the arc-shaped blade 421 inserts into the citrus fruit. The citrus fruit continues to rise towards the through hole 411. When the pulp touches the guide wheel 423, the guide wheel 423 rotates, the guide wheel 423 drives the articulated rod 422 to rotate, and the torsion spring 420 is compressed. Then, the arc-shaped blade 421 is pushed by the pulp and unfolds in the direction away from the axis of the through hole 411. As the citrus fruit continues to rise towards the through hole 411, the citrus fruit skin is peeled off by the arc-shaped blade 421 and is limited to the side of the arc-shaped blade 421 facing the skin passing hole 471.

[0045] S7. Drive the meat pushing plate 412 to separate the pulp from the citrus fruit skin. Specifically, when the pulp rises with the fruit receiving plate 56 and penetrates above the through hole 411, the fruit pushing air cylinder drives the meat pushing plate 412 to move along the length direction of the fruit passing plate 41. Then, the pulp is pushed out from one end of the fruit pushing groove 413 by the meat pushing plate 412. Since the citrus fruit skin is limited to the side of the arc-shaped blade 421 facing the skin passing hole 471 by the arc-shaped blade 421, the thrust of the meat pushing plate 412 can separate the pulp from the citrus fruit skin.

[0046] S8. Drive the skin pushing plate 44 to push the citrus fruit skin towards the drying component. Specifically, the lifting air cylinder 53 drives the fruit receiving plate 56 to descend to the wider end of the fruit feeding holes 511. At this time, the citrus fruit skin is flush with the top surface of the flat plate 51.
