Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pre-prepared food processing, in particular to a pre-prepared food cleaning system accessory. Background Art

[0002] Pre-prepared dishes are semi-finished or finished products made from various agricultural, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products as raw materials, and seasonings and other auxiliary ingredients through pre-selection, modulation and other processes.

[0003] The pre-prepared food processing production line is mature. Although the processing equipment for different types of ingredients is different, the processing procedures are similar. Basic steps such as cleaning, draining, cutting, disinfection, and air-drying are required. Due to the diversity of ingredients, traditional pre-prepared food processing systems will be equipped with specific processing accessories according to different types of ingredients to meet the pre-prepared food processing needs of different types of ingredients. However, due to the cost of equipment, some more complex processing methods still need to be performed manually.

[0004] Taking cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, as an example, the existing pre-prepared vegetable processing process is: the cabbage roots are manually cut off, and then the cabbage leaves are separated layer by layer and sent to the cleaning pool for primary cleaning. The drained leaves are then collected and stacked according to the size of the leaves and then cut. For the cabbage used in the production of pre-prepared vegetables, the cutting process requires that the leaf part is cut into larger blocks and the petiole part is cut into smaller strips to ensure that the whole vegetable is heated evenly during the subsequent heating process, thereby ensuring the quality and taste of the pre-prepared vegetable. The cut cabbage undergoes subsequent secondary cleaning, draining, disinfection, packaging and other processes. The entire processing process involves many manual links and the degree of automation is relatively low. In order to further improve processing efficiency and reduce labor costs, the system needs to be optimized.

[0005] However, the prior art provides application number: 201721410099.8, patent name: A cabbage cutting machine, this type of equipment uses a cutter to chop the whole cabbage into pieces; and application number: 201720933032.6, patent name: A cabbage half-cutting machine, this type of equipment cuts the cabbage in half from the middle for subsequent processing. The above two types of cutting methods cannot meet the requirements of pre-prepared food processing, and do not have the conditions to match the clean vegetable processing system. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pre-prepared food clean vegetable system accessory to improve the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0022] Depend on Figures 1 to 4It can be seen that the present invention includes two sprockets 1, which are connected by a chain 2. In order to improve the safety of the device, a housing 14 is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the chain 2. There is a gap in the middle of the two housings 14. The sprocket 1 is rotatably mounted on the two housings 14 via an axis. A plurality of mounting rods 15 corresponding to the supports are evenly distributed along the circumference of the chain 2. The mounting rods 15 are perpendicular to and fixedly connected to the chain plates of the chain 2. The mounting rods 15 extend from the gap between the two housings 14. A plurality of support plates 3 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer side of the chain 2. The support plates 3 are fixed to the protruding ends of the mounting rods 15. The support plates 3 are vertically fixed to the mounting rods 15. The mounting rods 15 are provided with auxiliary support arms for the support plates 3. , a motor is installed on the inner side of the support plate 3, and a rotating shaft 4 driven by the motor is rotatably installed on the outer end of the support plate 3. A limiting nail 5 is fixed on the outer end of the rotating shaft 4. The side circumference of the limiting nail 5 is evenly distributed with a blade protruding outward along its length direction, and the blade gradually extends outward from the tip of the limiting nail 5 to the root. A sleeve 6 is set on the rotating shaft 4, which can only slide along its axis but cannot rotate. A tray 7 is fixed on the outer end of the sleeve 6, and a guide angle is provided on the inner side of the tray 7. The blade of the limiting nail 5 is fixed to the root of the cabbage and can drive the cabbage to rotate. A first magnet 8 is fixed on the inner end of the rotating shaft 4, and a second magnet 9 is fixed on the inner end of the rotating shaft 4. The first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 can be adsorbed when they are close. The rotating shaft 4 is set with a The tray 7 is reset outward by a spring 10, one end of the spring 10 is fixed to the second magnet 9, and the other end is fixed to the tray 7. A V-shaped tool 11 with its mouth facing left is provided above the chain 2, and the right end of the V-shaped prop is tilted upward. The V-shaped tool 11 is installed on the right side of the chain 2. The open end of the V-shaped tool 11 is provided with an outward-expanding guide portion, and the blade of the V-shaped tool 11 faces inward. Both ends of the V-shaped tool 11 are provided with a travel switch of the motor, and the motor only rotates inside the V-shaped tool 11. The V-shaped tool 11 is fixed to the housing 14 on the front and rear sides through a support rod. The left end of the V-shaped tool 11 is higher than the tray 7 in the adsorption state of the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9, and the right end of the V-shaped tool 11 is higher than the adsorption state of the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9. The lower limit nail 5 is provided at the bottom of the chain 2, and a guide rod 12 is provided at the bottom of the chain 2. The right end of the guide rod 12 is higher than the left end. The guide rod 12 is provided with two front and rear spaced apart. The guide rod 12 is fixed to the corresponding shell 14 through a connecting rod. A collecting bucket 17 is provided below the guide rod 12, and the lower end of the collecting bucket 17 is connected to a discharge pipe 18. The lower end of the discharge pipe 18 is inclined to the left. After the tray 7 moves to contact the guide rod 12, the adsorbed first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 can be separated. The front and rear sides of the chain 2 are provided with a blocking net 13, and the upper end of the blocking net 13 is inclined outward. The blocking net 13 is installed on the shell 14 on the front and rear sides through a bracket. Two support legs 16 are respectively provided on the shell 14 on the front and rear sides, and the lower end of the support leg 16 is provided with a U-shaped clamping part.

[0023] The specific working process of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the device is installed above the primary washing pool through the support legs 16 and the U-shaped clamping part, so that the left end of the device extends out of the washing pool to facilitate manual loading of cabbage. The lower end of the blocking net 13 is placed in the washing pool to prevent the cabbage leaves from being thrown out of the washing pool. A driving motor is installed on one of the sprockets 1. Under the driving action, the sprocket 1 rotates slowly. When one of the trays 7 rotates to the horizontal and is placed on the left side of the chain, the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 are not attracted under the action of the spring 10, and the limit pin 5 returns After the tray 7 is retracted into the sleeve 6, the worker places the root of the cabbage on the tray 7 and presses it downward, so that the tray 7 moves downward and the spring 10 compresses the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 to approach each other and adsorb. During this process, the limiting nail 5 gradually extends out from the sleeve 6. During this process, the blade of the limiting nail 5 and the arc-shaped chamfer of the tray 7 can facilitate the centering and auxiliary fixation of the cabbage, the tray 7 and the limiting nail 5, thereby facilitating the insertion of the limiting nail 5 into the root of the cabbage. Note that the root of the cabbage refers to the part of the cabbage root placed inside the cabbage, and this part is bullet-shaped and inedible.

[0024] As the sprocket 1 continues to rotate, the chain 2 feeds the cabbage into the V-shaped tool 11. At this time, under the action of the travel switch, the click starts to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the tray 7 to rotate through the sleeve 6, thereby realizing the rotation of the limited cabbage. The rotating cabbage enters the V-shaped tool 11 and the continuous contraction of the blades on both sides of the tool will cause the outer side of the cabbage to be cut. Under the rotation of the motor, the vegetable leaves cut at the lower end move outward under the action of the centrifuge and separate from the cabbage body. The separated vegetable leaves enter the cleaning tank under the action of the blocking net 13 and gravity. As the sprocket 1 continues to rotate, the cabbage moves to the right side of the V-shaped tool 11. In this process, due to the bullet-shaped root in the heart of the cabbage, the V-shaped tool 11 in the inclined state gradually increases the cutting position to meet the problem that the roots of the leaves closer to the center are closer to the top, thereby accurately realizing the cutting of the vegetable leaves.

[0025] When the tray 7 leaves the V-shaped cutter 11, the tray 7 gradually rotates with the opening facing upward to the bottom of the chain 2 and changes to the opening facing downward. After passing the guide rod 12, the tray 7 is gradually squeezed downward under the action of the guide rod 12. During this process, the tray 7 continues to move downward. During this process, the positioning pin inserted into the cabbage scraps gradually detaches from the root of the cabbage. At the same time, the first magnet 8 and the second magnet 9 gradually detach from the adsorption until the positioning pin is completely pulled out from the root of the cabbage and falls into the collection bucket 17 under the action of gravity and is discharged into the collection box through the discharge pipe 18.

[0026] At this time, the limiting nail 5 retracts into the sleeve 6, and the tray 7 moves to the initial position and can be filled with cabbage again. Since there are multiple trays 7 on the chain 2, the whole cabbage cutting process is a continuous action, and cutting is carried out continuously.

[0027] Advantages of the present invention:

[0028] 1. The present invention is a supporting system for cleaning cruciferous vegetables for pre-prepared dishes, which can effectively improve the efficiency of cleaning cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, and mechanize the vegetable cutting and slicing that was originally done manually, which not only effectively saves production costs but also greatly improves production efficiency. In addition, the accessory has an ingenious structure and low production and use costs, and can be widely promoted and applied, thereby optimizing the production process of pre-prepared dishes as a whole.

[0029] 2. When the device is in use, the inclined V-shaped cutter 11 causes the cabbage driven by the motor to gradually move its cutting point upward during circumcision. This design is entirely based on the shape characteristics of the inner root of the cabbage, and can effectively solve the problem of inconsistent heights of the roots of the inner and outer leaves of the cabbage, which easily causes waste due to unified circumcision positions. It greatly retains the edible part of the cabbage and reduces waste.

[0030] 3. The device is equipped with an automatic collection device for scraps below the chain 2, so that inedible roots can be collected directly, avoiding the problem of manual collection. This makes the device more automated during use, and can more effectively improve efficiency, reduce labor intensity and reduce labor costs.
