Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pumpkin processing technology, and in particular to a pumpkin food raw material processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Pumpkin is rich in nutrients and delicious, making it a popular food. It has the effects of helping to lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, protect eyesight, and promote excretion. Currently, in the process of processing pumpkin, it is necessary to wash the pumpkin and peel it before use.

[0003] Patent publication number CN212852397U discloses a novel pumpkin peeler, comprising a housing, a column, blades, a bottom shaft, a top shaft, inserts, a slider, a screw, a motor, a first gear, a second gear, and a third gear. The column is vertically arranged, with its bottom fixedly connected to the top of the housing. The slider is slidably disposed within the column and connected to the blades. The screw is threadedly connected to the slider and is vertically arranged. The bottom of the screw is fixedly connected to the second gear, which meshes with the third gear. The third gear meshes with the first gear. The first gear is fixedly connected to the bottom shaft, which is rotatably connected to the housing along with the screw. The second gear is fixedly connected to the motor's rotating shaft. The top shaft is located directly above the bottom shaft and is concentrically arranged. Inserts are fixedly connected to the bottom of both the top and bottom shafts, and these two inserts are used to insert into the top and bottom of the pumpkin, respectively.

[0004] The aforementioned new pumpkin peeling machine uses a screw mechanism composed of a slider and a screw. As the pumpkin rotates, the blade moves up and down to peel off the pumpkin skin. Only one motor controls the rotation of the pumpkin and the raising or lowering of the blade. However, this device cannot peel the parts of the pumpkin that are clamped by the insert blocks at the top and bottom, resulting in incomplete peeling. It is necessary to remove the pumpkin and peel off the stem and tail parts at both ends, which reduces work efficiency.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] A pumpkin food ingredient processing device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the device includes a workbench 1, with a fixed frame 2 connected to the top of the workbench 1. Fixed seats 21 are symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the top of the fixed frame 2. A clamping assembly for securing the head and tail of the pumpkin is located between the two rear fixed seats 21. A driving assembly is located between the two front fixed seats 21. Two sliding rods 27 are slidably connected to the driving assembly. A second spring 28 is connected between the rear of each sliding rod 27 and the driving assembly, and the second springs 28 are wound around the sliding rods 27. A first peeler 29 is connected between the rear of the sliding rods 27. The device also includes two first connecting frames 31, one on the front and one on the rear of the top of the workbench 1. A lifting assembly for supporting the pumpkin is located between the first connecting frames 31. Two wedge plates 38 are connected to the left and right sides of the lifting assembly. A top frame 39 is connected to the rear of the upper right side of the workbench 1. A first slide rail 310 is connected to the rear of the right rear fixed seat 21. The first slide rail 310 is slidably connected to... A second sliding frame 311 is connected, and a first sliding rod 312 is slidably connected inside the second sliding frame 311. The first sliding rod 312 is pressed and engaged with the top frame 39. A third spring 313 is connected between the middle of the first sliding rod 312 and the second sliding frame 311. The third spring 313 is wrapped around the first sliding rod 312. A tail-cutting knife 314 is rotatably connected to the left side of the first sliding rod 312. The front and rear sides of the upper left part of the worktable 1 are connected to the second connecting frame 41. The upper part of the second connecting frame 41 is provided with a pin assembly. The upper parts of the second connecting frame 41 are slidably connected to the third sliding frame 45. The pin assembly and the third sliding frame 45 are slidably connected. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the third sliding frame 45 are connected to the adjacent second connecting frame 41 with a fifth spring 46. The lower part of the third sliding frame 45 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 48. A sliding cutting knife 49 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 48. Eight slots are evenly opened along the circumference of the rotating frame 48. Under normal conditions, the fifth spring 46 is in a deformed state.

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the insertion assembly includes two rotating cylinders 22. The rotating cylinders 22 are rotatably connected to two fixed seats 21 at the rear. Each rotating cylinder 22 is slidably connected to a sliding insertion rod 23. A first spring 24 is connected between the side of the sliding insertion rod 23 that is close to each other and the adjacent rotating cylinder 22. The first spring 24 is wound around the adjacent sliding insertion rod 23. The wedge plate 38 is pressed and engaged with the sliding insertion rod 23.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the drive assembly includes a first screw 25, which is rotatably connected between two fixed seats 21 at the front. A first sliding frame 26 is threadedly connected to the first screw 25. A first transmission assembly 210 is connected between the left part of the first screw 25 and the left rotating drum 22. The first transmission assembly 210 consists of two pulleys and a flat belt. One pulley is connected to the left part of the first screw 25, and the other pulley is connected to the left rotating drum 22. A flat belt is wound around the two pulleys. A handle is provided on the left side of the first screw 25.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting assembly includes two bidirectional screws 32, each threadedly connected to the first connecting frame 31. A T-shaped carriage 33 is threadedly connected between the upper parts of the bidirectional screws 32, and a cross-shaped carriage 36 is threadedly connected between the lower parts of the bidirectional screws 32. A second transmission assembly 37 is connected between the lower parts of the bidirectional screws 32, located below the cross-shaped carriage 36. The second transmission assembly 37 consists of two pulleys and a flat belt. The pulleys are all connected to the lower part of the bidirectional screws 32, and the flat belt is wound around the two pulleys. Three rotating wheels 34 are evenly rotatably connected to the side of the T-shaped carriage 33 and the cross-shaped carriage 36 that are close to each other. A motor 35 is installed on the lower left side of the T-shaped carriage 33, and the output shaft on the right side of the motor 35 is connected to the adjacent rotating wheel 34 via a coupling.

[0046] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the pin assembly includes a third connecting frame 42, and there are two third connecting frames 42. The third connecting frames 42 are respectively connected to the upper left side of the second connecting frame 41. A sliding wedge frame 43 is slidably connected inside the third connecting frame 42. A fourth spring 44 is connected between the left side of the sliding wedge frame 43 and the adjacent third connecting frame 42. Pressure rods 47 are connected to the front and rear sides of the upper part of the T-shaped slide 33. In normal state, the sliding wedge frame 43 is inserted into the third sliding frame 45, and the pressure rod 47 is pressed and engaged with the sliding wedge frame 43.

[0047] Initially, the fifth spring 46 is in a deformed state. When using the device, the operator first places the pumpkin between the sliding rods 23, with the pumpkin stem facing left. The head and tail of the pumpkin will press against the sliding rods 23, causing it to move outward. The first spring 24 will deform, and the front of the pumpkin will slightly press against the first peeler 29, causing the slide rod 27 to slide slightly forward. The second spring 28 will also deform. Then, the handle on the left side of the first screw 25 is rotated forward, thereby driving the rotating drum 22 to rotate through the first transmission assembly 210, which in turn drives the pumpkin to rotate through the sliding rods 23. At the same time, the rotating first screw 25 will drive the first sliding frame 26, the slide rod 27, and the first peeler 29 to move to the right. The first peeler 29 moving to the right interacts with the rotating... The pumpkin skin is peeled off by contact with the pumpkin. After the pumpkin skin is peeled off, the double-headed screw 32 on the front side is rotated in the forward direction, thereby driving the T-shaped carriage 33 and the cross-shaped carriage 36 to move inward through the second transmission component 37 to support the upper and lower parts of the pumpkin, so that the rotating wheel 34 contacts the surface of the pumpkin. Then the motor 35 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 35 drives the adjacent rotating wheel 34 to rotate, thereby driving the pumpkin and the other rotating wheels 34 to rotate together. The wedge plate 38 will move upward with the cross-shaped carriage 36 until it contacts the sliding rod 23. The wedge plate 38 will push the sliding rod 23 outward, so that the sliding rod 23 moves outward until it separates from the pumpkin. The first spring 24 continues to deform, and then the second sliding frame 311 is pushed forward, thereby driving the first sliding rod 31 2. The tail-shaving blade 314 moves forward, and the first sliding rod 312, which moves forward, is stopped by the top frame 39, causing it to move the tail-shaving blade 314 to the left until it contacts the rotating pumpkin tail. The third spring 313 deforms, and the tail-shaving blade 314 peels off the skin of the pumpkin tail. After the skin of the tail is removed, the second sliding frame 311 is released. Under the elastic action of the third spring 313, the first sliding rod 312 will drive the tail-shaving blade 314 to move to the right and back to its original position. At the same time, the pressure rod 47 will move downward with the T-shaped slide 33 until it contacts the sliding wedge frame 43. The pressure rod 47 will push the sliding wedge frame 43 to the left. The fourth spring 44 deforms, causing it to move to the left until it separates from the third sliding frame 45. Under the elastic action of the fifth spring 46... The third sliding frame 45 will drive the rotating frame 48 and the sliding cutting knife 49 to move downwards. The downward-moving sliding cutting knife 49 will cut off the pumpkin stem. After the pumpkin skin and the skin of both ends are peeled off, the double-headed screw 32 on the front side can be rotated in the opposite direction, thereby driving the T-shaped slide 33 and the cross-shaped slide 36 to move outwards. The wedge plate 38 will no longer press against the sliding insert 23. Under the elastic action of the first spring 24, the sliding insert 23 will insert and fix the pumpkin again. At the same time, the third sliding frame 45 can be manually lifted upwards to its original position. The fifth spring 46 will return to its deformed state. When the pressure rod 47 moves upwards with the T-shaped slide 33 and separates from the sliding wedge frame 43, under the elastic action of the fourth spring 44, the sliding wedge frame 43 moves to the right and resets.The pumpkin is then inserted into the third sliding bracket 45 to secure it. Finally, the worker removes the pumpkin from between the sliding rods 23. Under the elastic action of the first spring 24 and the second spring 28, the sliding rod 23 moves inward to reset, and the sliding rod 27 also drives the first peeling blade 29 to move backward to reset. Finally, the motor 35 is turned off. In summary, the pumpkin is first supported by the T-shaped sliding bracket 33 and the cross-shaped sliding bracket 36 so that both ends are exposed. Then, the skin of the pumpkin's stem and tail is peeled off by the sliding stem-cutting blade 49 and the tail-peeling blade 314, making the peeling more thorough and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, it also includes a peeling component for removing the skin from the concave part of the pumpkin. The peeling component is set on the second connecting frame 41 on the front side. The peeling component includes a second slide rail 51, which is connected to the lower part of the second connecting frame 41 on the front side. A second screw 52 is threadedly connected to the right wall of the second slide rail 51. A first sliding block 53 is rotatably connected to the left part of the second screw 52. The first sliding block 53 slides in the second slide rail 51. A second peeling knife 55 is slidably connected to the left part of the first sliding block 53. A third screw 54 is threadedly connected to the right part of the first sliding block 53. The rear part of the third screw 54 is rotatably connected to the second peeling knife 55.

[0050] Pumpkins often have indentations during their growth. The first peeling blade 29 may not be able to reach these indentations, affecting the peeling effect. The specific operation is as follows: When the T-shaped slide 33 and the cross-shaped slide 36 move inward to support the upper and lower parts of the pumpkin, first turn the third screw 54, which drives the second peeling blade 55 to move backward until it contacts the indentation of the pumpkin. While the motor 35 rotates the pumpkin through the wheel 34, turn the second screw 52, ​​which drives the first sliding block 53, the second peeling blade 55, and the third screw 54 to move left and right. This allows the second peeling blade 55 to peel off the skin from the indentation of the pumpkin, increasing the thoroughness of the peeling and improving work efficiency.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, it also includes a clamping component for pressing the tail-cutting blade 314 against the end of the pumpkin. The clamping component is disposed on the first sliding rod 312. The clamping component includes a first connecting plate 61 connected to the left side of the first sliding rod 312. A second sliding rod 62 is slidably mounted in front of the first connecting plate 61. A sixth spring 63 is connected between the right side of the second sliding rod 62 and the first connecting plate 61. The sixth spring 63 is wound around the second sliding rod 62. A U-shaped rotating rod 64 is rotatably connected to the left side of the second sliding rod 62. The U-shaped rotating rod 64 is pressed against the tail-cutting blade 314.

[0052] When the peeling blade 314 is peeling the skin off the pumpkin's tail, to ensure that the peeling blade 314 fits snugly against the pumpkin's tail for easy peeling, the specific operation is as follows: Manually push the second sliding rod 62 to the left, causing it to move the U-shaped rotating rod 64 to the left. The sixth spring 63 deforms, and the U-shaped rotating rod 64 will press against the peeling blade 314, making it fit snugly against the pumpkin's tail. The U-shaped rotating rod 64 will also rotate slightly. After the peeling blade 314 has finished peeling, release the second sliding rod 62. Under the elastic action of the sixth spring 63, the second sliding rod 62 will move the U-shaped rotating rod 64 to the right to reset. In summary, by using the U-shaped rotating rod 64 to press against the peeling blade 314, making it fit snugly against the pumpkin's tail, it is easier to peel off the pumpkin's tail skin, thus improving the working efficiency of the peeling blade 314.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, it also includes an adjustment assembly for adjusting the angle of the sliding stem-cutting knife 49 according to the growth position of the melon stem. The adjustment assembly is set on the rotating frame 48 and includes a second connecting plate 71 connected to the lower part of the third sliding frame 45. A first insert 72 is slidably connected to the lower part of the second connecting plate 71. A seventh spring 73 is connected between the front part of the first insert 72 and the second connecting plate 71. The seventh spring 73 is wrapped around the first insert 72. A third connecting plate 74 is connected to the rear side of the lower part of the rotating frame 48. A second insert 75 is slidably connected to the third connecting plate 74. An eighth spring 76 is connected between the right part of the second insert 75 and the third connecting plate 74. The eighth spring 76 is wrapped around the second insert 75. At least seven inserts 77 are evenly connected to the upper left part of the sliding stem-cutting knife 49. In normal state, the second insert 75 is inserted into the insert 77.

[0054] Because pumpkins have irregular shapes during growth, the position of their stems will also vary. To ensure that the sliding stem-cutting knife 49 can accurately cut off the stem, its position can be adjusted. The specific operation is as follows: First, pull the first insert 72 forward to separate it from the slot of the rotating frame 48, causing the seventh spring 73 to deform. Then, rotate the rotating frame 48 to rotate the sliding stem-cutting knife 49 to a suitable angle. Release the first insert 72, and under the elastic action of the seventh spring 73, the first insert 72 moves backward to reset into the slot. Continue... Pull the second insert 75 to the right to remove it from the insert 77. The eighth spring 76 deforms and then moves the sliding cutting blade 49 back and forth so that it is exactly above the stem. Then release the second insert 75. Under the elastic action of the eighth spring 76, the second insert 75 moves to the right and is inserted into the insert 77. In summary, by pulling the first insert 72 and the second insert 75 to release the lock on the sliding cutting blade 49, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the sliding cutting blade 49 according to the position of the stem, thereby improving the efficiency of cutting the stem.

[0055] like Figure 1 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, it also includes a scar-cutting component for removing scars on the pumpkin. The scar-cutting component is mounted on the mounting frame 2. The scar-cutting component includes a third slide rail 81, which is connected between the left and right sides of the front of the mounting frame 2. A second sliding block 82 is slidably connected inside the third slide rail 81. A sliding blade 83 is slidably connected inside the second sliding block 82. A ninth spring 84 is connected between the front of the sliding blade 83 and the second sliding block 82. The ninth spring 84 is wound around the sliding blade 83.

[0056] During the growth of a pumpkin, its surface may become injured and scarred, resulting in a thicker skin in these areas. Since the blades of the first peeler 29 and the second peeler 55 are relatively thin, they cannot remove the scarred parts of the pumpkin. The specific operation is as follows: When the motor 35 rotates the pumpkin via the wheel 34, the worker first holds the sliding blade 83, causing it to move the second sliding block 82 left and right until the second sliding block 82 is positioned directly in front of the pumpkin scar. Then, the sliding blade 83 is pushed backward to contact the rotating pumpkin. The ninth spring 84 deforms, and the sliding blade 83 removes the pumpkin scar. Once the scar is removed, the sliding blade 83 is released. Under the elastic action of the ninth spring 84, the sliding blade 83 moves forward to reset. In summary, removing the pumpkin scar using the sliding blade 83 further increases the thoroughness of peeling and improves work efficiency.
