A bottom peeling cutting assembly based on an orange peeling type peeling device

Abstract

This invention discloses a bottom peel cutting component based on an orange peeling device, belonging to the technical field of orange juice processing equipment. The component is located at the fruit exit end of a circulating transmission chain and includes a separating element, a blade, a separating and detaching channel, an elastic baffle, and a pressing element. The separating element has a guide fork and a channel. The channel is an arc-shaped channel with a fixed curvature, and the upper part of the guide fork is divided into two parts. The lower part of the separating element has a fixing part I, and the blade is connected to the fixing part I. The separating and detaching channel is fixedly connected to the outside of the blade, and the elastic baffle is installed on the upper part of the side of the separating and detaching channel opposite to the blade. The pressing element has a pressure plate. The distance between the outer surface of the separating element in contact with the orange and the end face of the rotating shaft on the transmission chain gradually increases along the direction of orange movement, thereby gradually detaching the orange from the rotating shaft. The pressing element pushes the pressure plate to push the orange into the separating and detaching channel, cutting and removing the bottom peel. This component can effectively solve the problems of separating oranges from the transmission chain and removing the bottom peel.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of orange juice processing equipment, specifically relating to a bottom peel cutting component based on an orange peeling device, which is mainly used in the process before pressing at the end of the orange peeling process. Background Technology

[0002] Oranges are a crucial raw material for producing fresh fruit juice and various fruit juice drinks. Orange juice and fruit-based beverages are widely popular and have high market value. In the production of orange juice and other beverages, it is necessary to extract the juice from oranges, which is rich in vitamins and other nutrients. Squeezing oranges is currently the most widely used method for orange juice extraction. However, when using the peel-on-the-fruit squeezing method, aromatic oils composed of substances such as limonene from the orange peel's secretory cavities also accumulate in the pressed orange juice along with the pulp. The aromatic oils and tannins in the orange peel generally have a noticeable off-flavor, such as bitterness or astringency. The addition of these substances significantly reduces the taste of the orange juice, and these substances are difficult to separate in subsequent processes. Using food additives to mask or treat these substances is an effective approach, but because consumers have a strong negative perception of the addition of food additives, this method undoubtedly reduces consumer willingness to purchase and also increases production costs.

[0003] To address the issue of off-flavor substances dissolving into oranges during the pressing process with the peel on, peeling is essential for achieving a good taste. Traditional peeling primarily involves manual peeling, but this method is inefficient and costly, making it unsuitable for modern production. With advancements in automated food production technology, automated machinery has become the mainstream method for fruit peeling. Currently, mechanical peeling of oranges mainly involves two methods: shaving and peeling, with the former being the primary method. Unlike apples and pears, where the peel and flesh are tightly bound, oranges have a separable peel. Furthermore, oranges differ from tangerines; the bond between the orange peel and flesh is often much stronger than that of tangerine peel. This tight bond presents significant technical challenges for orange peel removal. However, because oranges have a nearly spherical, ellipsoidal structure with a small major-to-minor ratio and are essentially symmetrical, they can be easily removed by using a motor to create a high-speed rotating mechanism. This makes it much easier for external blades to peel oranges by cutting. Therefore, most existing orange peeling devices use peeling to remove the peel, and this method is relatively efficient.

[0004] However, peeling by turning the orange typically involves only one cut, which often results in incomplete peeling. A typical consequence is the creation of yellow and white stripes, with the yellow representing unremoved orange peel. Using such raw material in subsequent processing will undoubtedly severely impact the product's taste. On the other hand, a two-cutting method often makes it difficult to control the cutting depth, resulting in the removal of a large amount of fruit pulp and wasting resources.

[0005] Compared to turning and peeling, peeling can often remove orange peel more accurately and cleanly. However, the technical requirements for peeling are much higher than those for turning and peeling. This is because peeling requires the blade to accurately cut into the fibrous soft tissue layer between the orange peel and the pulp from the outside in, while turning and peeling can be done directly from the outside. This makes the precision requirements for the blade's entry angle for peeling far greater than those for turning and peeling. To achieve peeling, Zhang Haokun et al. from Kunming University of Science and Technology developed a peeling orange peeling machine (application number: 202220723913.6). This orange peeling machine includes a housing, a moving mechanism, peeling claws, and a peel storage box. The housing consists of an upper housing and a lower housing, with the bottom of the upper housing hinged to the top of one side of the lower housing. The peel storage box is located on the bottom of the other side of the lower housing. The moving mechanism includes an upper push rod and a lower push rod, both movable and rotatable, housed inside the upper and lower housings. The lower end of the upper push rod is equipped with a peeling claw. The peeling claw comprises six peeling fingers, each tipped with a retractable blade. The upper ends of the peeling fingers are connected to the upper push rod via springs and connecting rods. Thus, the up-and-down movement of the upper and lower push rods, combined with the blades at the tips of the peeling claws surrounding the orange peel, separates the orange peel. The peeling fingers then peel off the separated orange peel. While this peeling machine is cleverly designed and capable of peeling, it is not based on a rotating mechanism, which is not conducive to efficient, streamlined production.

[0006] To achieve streamlined production of orange peeling and improve peeling efficiency and precision, the applicant proposed a peeling assembly for oranges (application number: 2023108842350). This assembly is based on a streamlined peeling production model where the orange is fixed to a rotating shaft, forming a rotating body. In this peeling process, the orange is first fixed to a shaft that can rotate under the drive of a power mechanism. The front end of this shaft is generally equipped with a needle-like fixing member that pierces into the bottom of the orange. Because the cutting blade needs to penetrate into the fibrous soft tissue layer between the peel and the pulp during the peeling process, the friction generated by the blade is greater than that of the external cutting peeling method. This makes the orange more prone to loosening during the peeling process and eventually rotating on the needle-like fixing member, thus greatly reducing the peeling effect of the peeling blade assembly. To solve this problem, the needle-like fasteners at the end of the shaft are often arranged in groups of multiple needles. For example, they are arranged in a triangle around the shaft axis to resist the torque exerted on the orange by the knife during peeling and prevent it from rotating.

[0007] However, while the above method effectively prevents the orange from rotating, it brings the following problems:

[0008] First, the needle-like fixatives are more tightly bound to the oranges, increasing the difficulty of detachment at the end of the peeling process and thus affecting the continuity of the peeling process.

[0009] Secondly, when the peeling blade assembly rotates to the bottom of the orange, a larger portion of the peel needs to remain unpeeled to avoid the blade colliding with the shaft or even the needle-like fixing piece, thus preventing the formation of unremoved bottom peel.

[0010] Regarding the issue of how to remove the remaining skin, the current method is to set up a special position in this process and remove the skin manually by hand. Obviously, this method disrupts the continuity of the process and is not conducive to improving work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The blade 3 is connected to the fixing part I24, and the direction of the cutting edge is opposite to the direction of movement of the orange on the transmission chain;

[0019] The separation and detachment channel is fixedly connected to the outside of the blade 3;

[0020] The elastic baffle 6 is installed on the upper side of the separation and detachment channel opposite to the blade 3;

[0021] The pressing member 7 is provided with a pressure plate 71 driven by a power mechanism 72;

[0022] The separation member 2 gradually increases the distance between the outer side of the orange and the end face of the rotating shaft on the transmission chain along the direction of the orange's movement, so that the orange gradually detaches from the rotating shaft; the power mechanism of the pressing member 7 pushes the orange that has not been peeled off the transmission chain into the separation and detachment channel by pushing the pressure plate 71, and the bottom peel of the orange is cut and removed by the blade 3 during the pushing process of the pressure plate 71.

[0023] Preferably, the separator 2 is an arc-shaped structure with gradually increasing thickness from top to bottom; the channel 22 passes through the inner side of the separator 2 facing the circulating transmission chain; the fixing part I24 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the separator 2 opposite to the inner side.

[0024] More preferably, the middle part of the fixing part I24 is provided with an inclined groove 23 that gradually deepens towards the end face.

[0025] More preferably, the bottom skin cutting assembly further includes a pad 8; the pad 8 is installed between the fixing part I24 and the blade 3.

[0026] Preferably, the separation and detachment channel includes two side plates 5 and an outer side plate; the side plate 5 is fixed to the outside of the blade 3, and the outer side plate is fixedly connected to the outer end face of the two side plates 5.

[0027] More preferably, a through groove is provided on the upper part of the outer side plate; the elastic baffle 6 is inserted and fixed in the through groove.

[0028] Preferably, the projections of the elastic baffle 6 and the pressure plate 71 on the horizontal plane do not coincide.

[0029] Preferably, the pressing member 7 is constructed above or to the side of the separation and detachment channel.

[0030] More preferably, the pressing member 7 is constructed above the separation and detachment channel; the power mechanism 72 is a cylinder, motor, hydraulic cylinder or lead screw that can reciprocate in a straight line; the pressure plate 71 is fixed to the end of the power mechanism 72.

[0031] More preferably, the pressing member 7 is constructed on the side of the separation and detachment channel; the power mechanism 72 is a motor, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the pressure plate 71 is fixed to the end of the rotating rod.

[0032] More preferably, a pad 8 is provided between the fixing part II 32 of the blade body 3 and the fixing part I 24 of the separator 2; the pad 8 is fixedly connected to the blade body 3, the separator 2 and the side plate 5 by fixing bolts.

[0033] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects obtained by the present invention are as follows:

[0035] I. This invention sets up a separator opposite to the fruit-discharging end of a circulating transmission chain. By gradually increasing the distance between the end face of the rotating shaft and the outer side of the separator on the rotation path of the transmission chain, oranges that have not yet had their bottom peel removed gradually detach from the fixing pins of the rotating shaft, thereby achieving effective separation of the two, ensuring the continuity of subsequent processes, and improving the efficiency of orange juice processing.

[0036] II. This invention features a separating component at the fruit exit end of the circulating transmission chain, with a blade positioned at the bottom of the outer side of the separating component where the orange detaches. This allows the orange peel to cut into the blade immediately after detaching from the fixing pin due to inertia, facilitating peel removal. Simultaneously, a protruding mounting portion or gasket is provided between the blade and the outer side of the separating component, creating a gap for the detached peel to drain, preventing blockage. At the peel removal point, a separation and detachment channel formed by two side plates and an outer plate is provided. An elastic baffle is located at the top of the outer plate to prevent the orange from tumbling and falling directly into the channel entrance due to rotational inertia and the obstruction of the blade. Finally, the peel cutting assembly also includes a pressing component, which, driven by its own power mechanism, presses and pushes the orange, thoroughly separating the peel from the orange. The completely peeled orange rolls into the separation and detachment channel and enters the subsequent pressing machine, while the detached peel is discharged through the gap between the blade and the bottom of the outer side of the separating component. This peel-cutting assembly effectively removes the orange peel through the combined action of multiple components, including a separator, blade, elastic baffle, and pressing element, while ensuring the continuity of the process.

[0037] Third, the separator is equipped with a guide fork having a gradually narrowing groove in the middle, and has an arc-shaped surface facing the circulating drive chain after installation. This allows the bottom of the orange, which is still attached to the fixing pin on the rotating shaft, to gradually adhere to the outer surface of the separator as it rotates. Due to the existence of the gradually narrowing groove, the fixing pin, after being separated from the orange, can still rotate in a circumferential direction and continue to circulate after separating from the separator, thus avoiding the separator from obstructing the movement of the fixing pin.

[0063] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented by a variety of different embodiments as defined and covered by the claims.

[0064] In the following description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and "vertical" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention.

[0065] In the following description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0066] Furthermore, in the following description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, "multiple", "multiple groups", and "multiple roots" mean two or more.

[0067] Figure 1 The diagram schematically illustrates a chain assembly with a rotating shaft mounted on it. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional image. From Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, the circulating transmission chain, excluding the power mechanism (not shown), is mainly composed of multiple chain links connected end to end. Depending on specific process requirements, a chain link assembly connecting to the rotating shaft 12 can be provided at a predetermined length. This assembly includes a chain link 11, a bearing 14, and a rotating shaft 12. A through hole is re-drilled in the chain link 11, and the bearing 14 is installed within the through hole. The rotating shaft 12 is mounted within the bearing 14. Four fixing pins 13 are provided on the end face of the rotating shaft 12 for securing the orange. Furthermore, to achieve the connection and rotation of the chain link assembly, pin holes 15 for connecting pins are provided at both the front and rear of the chain link 11.

[0068] Figure 3 The diagram schematically shows a front view of the separator in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 for Figure 3 Rear view. Figure 5 for Figure 3 A bottom view. Figure 6 for Figure 3 A three-dimensional image. From Figures 3-6 It can be seen that, in this preferred embodiment, the separator 2 has an overall arc-shaped structure with gradually increasing thickness (e.g., Figure 6As shown), its upper part is a guide fork 21 divided by a central channel 22, used to guide the orange to the separator 2 and separate the orange from the rotating shaft 12. The separator 2 has an inner arc surface facing the circulating drive chain and an outer arc surface opposite to the inner arc surface. The inner arc surface is coaxial with the arc at the turning point of the circulating drive chain, thereby gradually increasing the distance between the end face of the rotating shaft and the outer arc surface by increasing the thickness, and thus gradually "pulling" the fixing pin 13 out of the orange. The bottom of the outer arc surface has two screw holes on each side of the plane, and a sloping groove 23 that gradually deepens towards the end face in the middle. The part with screw holes serves as the fixing part I 24. The fixing part I 24 is used to connect with components such as the pad, while the sloping groove 23 provides space for constructing the bottom peel discharge channel. At the same time, in order to connect with the bottom support leg 4, two bottom fixing holes 15 are also provided at the bottom of the separator 2. Figure 5 ).

[0069] Furthermore, the channel 22 extends through the inner arc surface of the separator 2. Since the upper part of the separator 2 is thinner, the channel 22 directly divides it into two parts, forming a fork-like structure. In the lower part, due to the increased thickness, the channel 22 only cuts into a portion. The channel 22 is an arc-shaped structure with a fixed curvature, and its radius of curvature is greater than the end movement radius of the fixing pin 13. This prevents the fixing pin 13 from scraping against the separator 2, effectively allowing the orange originally inserted on the fixing pin 13 to gradually detach along the outer arc surface of the separator 2. It also effectively prevents the separator 2 from affecting the movement of the fixing pin 13.

[0070] Figure 7 A perspective view of the blade in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 7 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, the cutting edge of the blade 3 faces upward, and the blade body 31 gradually thickens from top to bottom. In order to achieve a fixed connection with the fixing part I 24 of the separating member 2, fixing parts II 32 that match the shape of the fixing part I 24 are provided on both sides of the blade body 31.

[0071] Figure 8 A perspective view of the side plate in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 8 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, to achieve connection with the outer side of the blade 3, one side of the side plate is also provided with a fixing part identical to the fixing part II 32, so that during installation, the separating part 2, the pad 8, the blade 3, and the side plate 5 can be stacked in sequence and fixed with fixing bolts. To form a separation and detachment channel, after the two side plates 5 are fixed, an outer side plate can be fixed to the end face of the two parallel side plates, thereby enclosing and forming a channel. A through groove is opened at the upper part of the outer side plate, and the elastic baffle 6 is inserted into the through groove. If it is necessary to increase the stability of the elastic baffle 6, two screw holes can be opened in the through groove, and the bottom elastic baffle 6 can be fixed with two fixing bolts.

[0072] Figure 9 A perspective view of the support leg in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 9 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, a support leg 4 can be provided at the bottom of the separating component 2 to support it. The support leg 4 has a base plate 41 fixed to the ground, a vertical plate 42 in the middle of the base plate 41, and two support plates 43 bent to one side at the upper end of the vertical plate 42. Each support plate 43 has a slot 44, and bolts are used to fix it to the bottom fixing hole 25 of the separating component 2 through the slots 44.

[0073] Figure 10 A schematic front view of the bottom-skinning and cutting assembly in a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown (the transmission chain portion is shown). Figure 11 for Figure 10 A top view. From Figure 10 and Figure 11 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft 12 is mounted on a chain link spaced four chain links apart on the circulating transmission chain. Whole oranges S1, top-peeled oranges S2, and peeled oranges S3 (with remaining bottom peel) are all fixed to the rotating shaft 12 by fixing pins 13. At the fruit exit end of the circulating transmission chain, the peeled oranges S3 rotate with the transmission chain and enter the bottom peel cutting assembly on one side. The inner arc surface of the separating member 2 of the bottom peel cutting assembly is coaxial with the turning arc of the transmission chain, and its thickness gradually increases along the rotation direction. It is fixed to the ground at its bottom by support legs 4. The bottom of the outer arc surface of the separating member 2 is connected to the blade 3, the separation and detachment channel formed by the side plate 5, the outer side plate, and the bottom arc-shaped bend. A pressing member 7 is provided at the upper part of the separation and detachment channel, which consists of a cylinder and an arc-shaped pressing plate 72, and can be controlled to achieve up-and-down reciprocating motion. As the pressing element 7 moves downward, it pushes the peeled orange S3, which is stuck between the blade 3 and the elastic baffle 6, into the separation and detachment channel, thereby removing the bottom peel of the orange. The peeled orange S4 then rolls into the separation and detachment channel and proceeds along the channel to the next process.

[0074] Figure 12 A perspective view of the bottom-skinning cutting assembly in a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown (the drive chain and support legs are shown, but the pressing element is omitted). From Figure 12 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, a pad 8, a blade 3, and a fixing part of the outer side plate 5 are sequentially fixed to the fixing part I 24 at the bottom of the outer arc surface of the separating member 2 by bolts. The addition of the pad 8 increases the gap between the blade 3 and the separating member 2, thereby providing sufficient space for the orange peel to be discharged. Generally, the thickness of the pad 8 can be set to 5-10mm. At the same time, the thickness of the fixing part I 24 of the separating member 2 or the fixing part II 32 of the blade can also be increased accordingly to achieve the same technical effect.

[0075] Figure 13 A schematic front view of the bottom-skinning and cutting assembly in a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown (the transmission chain portion is shown). Figure 14 for Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure. Figure 15 for Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure from another perspective. From Figures 13-15 As can be seen, in this preferred embodiment, the production line uses two parallel circulating drive chains sharing one press 9. The outlets of the separation and shedding channels of the two bottom peel cutting components are respectively connected to the feed inlet 91 of the press 9, so that the thoroughly peeled oranges are directly fed into the press 9 for juicing. In addition, the upper part of the circulating drive chain is the top cover 10 of the peeling device of the entire device, and the power mechanism 71 of the pressing member 7 is fixed on the top cover 10.

[0076] In addition to the above situations, for multiple sets of parallel circulating transmission chains at the fruit outlet, the pressing component 7 can be shared by multiple sets. For example, using a swing pressing method, a motor drives a rotating rod to swing left and right. One (or two) pressing plates are fixed at the end of the rotating rod; swinging to the left side presses and cuts the left side, swinging to the right side presses and cuts the right side. To avoid motion interference, corresponding notches can be made on the side plate 5. Alternatively, a power mechanism such as a lead screw, motor, or cylinder can simultaneously push two pressing plates connected by a horizontal connecting plate to achieve synchronous operation on both sides.

[0077] The working process of the bottom peel cutting component of the orange peeling device is as follows:

[0078] When the whole orange S1, after being peeled and de-peeled, moves along the transmission chain to the turning point at the fruit exit end, the peeled orange S3 enters the groove 22 of the separator 2 and contacts the outer arc surface of the guide fork 21 of the separator 2. As it rotates and the thickness of the separator 2 increases, the peeled orange S3 is gradually pulled off the fixing pin 13. When it reaches a horizontal position, it is completely separated from the fixing pin 13. Under the action of gravity and inertia, the front of the peeled orange S3 rests against the elastic baffle 6, and the rear part is cut into the blade 3. Then, the power mechanism 72 of the pressing component 7 quickly moves downward, pushing the peeled orange S3 through the pressure plate 71, so that the bottom peel of the orange is cut off by the blade 3 during the pushing process and falls down along the inclined groove. The peeled orange S4 falls into the separation and falling channel and finally rolls into the press 9 for subsequent processing. The pressure plate 71 retracts under the drive of the power mechanism 72, and then the next peeled orange S3 enters the cutting position. The pressure plate 71 presses down again to complete the cutting. The peeled orange S4, after being thoroughly peeled, can be directly put into the press to extract juice.

[0079] The aforementioned peel cutting assembly, through the coordinated action of components such as the separator, blade, separation and detachment channel, elastic baffle, and pressing element, achieves both the detachment of the orange tightly connected to the fixing pin and the removal of the peel. Simultaneously, it avoids problems such as inaccurate cutting due to misalignment of the orange during the cutting process and blockage caused by the cut peel. It also effectively ensures the continuity of the process, contributing to improved overall work efficiency.

[0080] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
