Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to orange peel processing equipment, specifically a device for producing and processing dried tangerine peel. Background Technology

[0002] Chenpi, a traditional Chinese medicine, refers to the dried, mature peel of the citrus fruit (Citrus reticulata Blanco) and its cultivated varieties, belonging to the Rutaceae family. The medicinal material is divided into "Chenpi" and "Guangchenpi." Mature fruits are harvested, the peel is removed, and then sun-dried or dried at low temperatures. The fruit can be Xinhui tangerine, Ou tangerine, or Sihui tangerine, among others.

[0003] Aged tangerine peel (Chenpi) from Sichuan and Guangdong is considered superior, with Guangdong Chenpi made from the peel of large red tangerines and aged for three years or more. However, when harvesting the peel, a hole is usually cut into the large red tangerine by hand, and the pulp inside is then scooped out. During this process, uneven force applied by hand easily damages the peel, resulting in a small quantity of undamaged peel. Intact peels can be used to make aged tangerine peel tea, which involves stuffing tea leaves into the peel, as seen in common aged tangerine peel Pu-erh tea. To address the shortcomings of existing technology, there is an urgent need for an apparatus for processing aged tangerine peel. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments in this application. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present invention provides a tangerine peel production and processing device, including a workbench 1, a clamping mechanism, a photoelectric sensor 6, a frame 25, a conversion drive component 26, a support frame 24, a cutting mechanism, a pulp crushing mechanism, a first conversion positioning component 14, a second conversion positioning component 16, and a control module 34. A clamping mechanism is installed on the workbench 1 to clamp the tangerine; a photoelectric sensor is installed on the clamping mechanism; a conversion drive 26 is installed on the frame 25; a support frame 24 is connected to the conversion drive 26; a cutting mechanism is installed at one end of the support frame 24 to cut open the top of the tangerine to form a slit; a pulp crushing mechanism is installed at the other end of the support frame to crush the pulp by inserting it into the tangerine through the slit; a first conversion positioning component 14 is used to position the pulp crushing mechanism to swing to the workbench; a second conversion positioning component 16 is used to position the cutting mechanism to swing to the workbench; the control module 34 is electrically connected to the clamping mechanism, the photoelectric sensor 6, the conversion drive 26, the cutting mechanism, the pulp crushing mechanism, the first conversion positioning component 14, and the second conversion positioning component 26.

[0028] The first conversion positioning element 14 and the second conversion positioning element 26 can be positioning sensors. In use, when the cutting mechanism swings and touches the second conversion positioning element 16, the second conversion positioning element sends a data signal to the control module. Upon receiving this data signal, the control module controls the conversion drive to stop working while simultaneously controlling the cutting mechanism to perform the cutting operation. When the pulp crushing mechanism swings and touches the first conversion positioning element 14, the first conversion positioning element sends a data signal to the control module. Upon receiving this data signal, the control module controls the conversion drive to stop working while simultaneously controlling the pulp crushing mechanism to perform the pulp crushing operation. It is understood that the pulp crushing mechanism, positioned by the first conversion positioning element, can accurately stop above the notch formed by the cutting mechanism cutting the tangerine.

[0029] It should be noted that the first switching and positioning component does not interfere with the rotation of the cutting mechanism. The second switching and positioning component does not interfere with the rotation of the pulp crushing mechanism.

[0030] The photoelectric sensor 6 is used to detect whether there are large red tangerines inside the clamping mechanism. If there are large red tangerines, it sends a data signal to the control module. Upon receiving the data signal, the control module controls the clamping mechanism to clamp the large red tangerines. If no large red tangerines are detected, the clamping mechanism remains in its initial working state.

[0031] The control module operates the conversion drive 26, the cutting mechanism, the pulp crushing mechanism and the clamping mechanism based on the first conversion positioning component 14, the second conversion positioning component 26 and the photoelectric sensor 6.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] The difference from Example 1 is that a structure for a fruit pulp crushing mechanism is provided.

[0034] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the pulp grinding mechanism includes a second telescopic drive component 27, a second support plate 30, a second drive motor 31, a rotating shaft 35, and a meat grinder 11. The second telescopic drive component 27 is mounted on the support frame 24; the second support plate 30 is drive-connected to the second telescopic drive component 27; the second drive motor 31 is mounted on the second support plate 30; the rotating shaft 35 is drive-connected to the second drive motor 31; and the meat grinder 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 35.

[0035] The second telescopic drive component 27 drives the second support plate 30 to move up and down, and the second support plate in turn drives the second drive motor, the rotating shaft and the meat grinder to move up and down.

[0036] The second drive motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 35 in turn drives the meat grinder 11 to rotate.

[0037] In use, the second telescopic drive component 27 drives the second support plate 30 to move downwards. The second support plate then drives the second drive motor, rotating shaft, and meat grinder to move downwards. The rotating shaft drives the meat grinder to insert into the mandarin orange. The second drive motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 35 drives the meat grinder 11 to rotate. The meat grinder 11 can then grind the pulp inside the mandarin orange, separating the pulp from the peel.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] The difference from Example 2 is that a structure for a meat grinder is provided.

[0040] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the meat grinder 11 includes multiple soft heads and multiple strands, with the strands spaced apart on the rotating shaft 35; wherein each strand 112 is connected to a soft head 111.

[0041] The fibrous material can be elastically stretched. The soft tip can be spherical. When the rotating shaft rotates, the soft tip moves outwards centrifugally, pulling the fibrous material, which has a certain degree of elastic stretch, thus conforming to large red tangerines of different diameters. The spherical soft tip will not damage the peel when it comes into contact with it.

[0042] Example 4:

[0043] Compared with Embodiment 2 or 3, the difference lies in the following: to facilitate accurate positioning of the upward and downward movement height of the rotating shaft, a first meat-grinding positioning component 28, a second meat-grinding positioning component 32, and a positioning component bracket 37 are added. The positioning component bracket 37 is installed on the support frame 24; the first meat-grinding positioning component 28 and the second meat-grinding positioning component 32 are installed parallel to each other on the positioning component bracket 37 at intervals. The first meat-grinding positioning component 28 is used to limit the upward movement height of the second support plate 30, and the second meat-grinding positioning component 32 is used to limit the downward movement height of the second support plate 30.

[0044] Understandably, both the first meat grinder positioning component 28 and the second meat grinder positioning component 32 can adopt a positioning sensor structure. Both are electrically connected to the control module.

[0045] When using:

[0046] When the second telescopic drive 27 drives the second support plate to move up until it touches the first meat grinder positioning member 28, it means that the second support plate has risen to the set upper limit height. The first meat grinder positioning member sends a data signal to the control module, and the control module can control the second telescopic drive 27 to pause, and the second support plate stops rising.

[0047] When the second telescopic drive 27 drives the second support plate to move down until it touches the second meat grinder positioning member 32, it means that the second support plate has descended to the set lower limit height. The second meat grinder positioning member sends a data signal to the control module, and the control module can control the second telescopic drive 27 to pause, and the second support plate stops descending.

[0048] Example 5:

[0049] The difference compared to any of Examples 1-4 is that a structure of the cutting mechanism is given.

[0050] The cutting mechanism includes a first telescopic drive component 23, a first support plate 22, a first drive motor 21, a positioning rod 13, a blade holder 9, a gripping rod 12, and a gripping suction cup 10. The first telescopic drive component 23 is installed at the other end of the support frame 24; the first support plate 22 is connected to the first telescopic drive component 23 in a transmission manner; the first drive motor 21 has a drive wheel 19 and is installed on the first support plate 22; the positioning rod 13 is rotatably installed on the support frame 17, on which a driven wheel 18 is fixedly installed, and the top end is connected to the rotary joint 20. The driven wheel 18 is meshed with the drive wheel 19 in a transmission manner. The rotary joint 20 is connected to the second vacuum pump 15. The support frame 17 is installed on the first support plate 22; one end of the knife holder 9 is installed on the positioning rod 13, and the other end is installed with a cutter 8; gripping rods 12 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the positioning rod 13; gripping suction cups 10 are installed on the gripping rods 12; wherein, the positioning rod 13 is connected to the rotary joint 20 and the gripping rods 12, and the gripping rods 12 are connected to the gripping suction cups 10.

[0051] The second vacuum pump 15 draws a vacuum from the gripping suction cup 10 through the rotary joint 20, positioning rod 13, and gripping rod 12, so that the gripping suction cup 10 can form a negative pressure and then pick up the fruit peel cut by the cutter 8.

[0052] The rotary joint 20 has a rotation function; therefore, when the driven wheel 18 drives the positioning rod 13 to rotate, the positioning rod does not drive the vacuum pipe connected to the rotary joint. Understandably, after the positioning rod drives the cutter to rotate and cut, the second vacuum pump starts working, gripping the suction cup to create negative pressure, thereby sucking up the fruit peel cut by the cutter.

[0053] Example 6:

[0054] Compared with any of Embodiments 1-4, the difference is that: in order to further accurately control the height of the positioning rod moving up and down, a first cutting positioning component 29 and a second cutting positioning component 33 are added; the first cutting positioning component 29 and the second cutting positioning component 33 are installed in parallel with intervals; the first cutting positioning component 29 is used to limit the height of the first support plate 22 rising; the second cutting positioning component 33 is used to limit the height of the first support plate 22 falling.

[0055] Understandably, both the first cutting positioning component 29 and the second cutting positioning component 33 are electrically connected to the control module. Both the first cutting positioning component 29 and the second cutting positioning component 33 can adopt a positioning sensor structure.

[0056] When using:

[0057] The first telescopic drive component 23 drives the first support plate 22 to move upward until it touches the first cutting positioning component 29. The first cutting positioning component immediately sends a data signal to the control module. Upon receiving the data signal, the control module controls the first telescopic drive component to stop working, and the first support plate stops moving upward. The first support plate moves upward to the upper limit of the set upward height.

[0058] The first telescopic drive member 23 drives the first support plate 22 to move down until it touches the second cutting positioning member 33. The second cutting positioning member immediately sends a data signal to the control module. Upon receiving the data signal, the control module controls the first telescopic drive member to stop working, and the first support plate moves down to the lower limit of the set downward height.

[0059] The first cutting positioning component 29 and the second cutting positioning component 33 work together to accurately control the height of the first support plate's vertical movement, thereby accurately controlling the distance of the positioning rod's vertical movement.

[0060] Example 7:

[0061] Compared with Embodiment 5 or 6, the difference is that a pointed tip 131 is added to facilitate the insertion of the positioning rod into the mandarin orange. The bottom end of the positioning rod 13 is provided with a pointed tip 131. When the first support plate moves the positioning rod downward, the pointed tip can facilitate the positioning rod to break through the top of the mandarin orange and be inserted.

[0062] Example 8:

[0063] The difference compared to any of Examples 1-7 is that a structure of the clamping mechanism is given.

[0064] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a positioning arc plate 36, a clamping member 3, and two clamping drive members 5. The positioning arc plate 36 is installed at one end of the worktable 1; the clamping member 3 is installed at the other end of the worktable 1 corresponding to the positioning arc plate 36; the clamping drive member 5 has a clamping suction cup 51, and the two clamping drive members 5 are installed at intervals on both sides of the worktable 1.

[0065] The positioning arc plate 36, the clamping component 3, and the two clamping drive components 5 work together to clamp and fix the placed tangerine.

[0066] The clamping drive also includes a clamping telescopic drive, which is connected to the clamping suction cup and drives the clamping suction cup to move. The clamping telescopic drive can be a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder. The clamping drive is electrically connected to the control module.

[0067] The suction cup uses negative pressure to perform suction.

[0068] Example 9:

[0069] Compared with Example 8, the difference is that a negative pressure structure for clamping the suction cup is provided, and a first vacuum pump 2 is added. The first vacuum pump 2 is connected to the clamping suction cup 51.

[0070] The first vacuum pump can be electrically connected to the control module. The control module can control the operation of the first vacuum pump based on the data signals transmitted by the photoelectric sensor.

[0071] Example 10:

[0072] The difference compared to Embodiment 8 or 9 is that a structure for the clamping member is provided.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping component 3 includes a support 305, a sleeve 303, a spring 304, a push rod 302, and an arc-shaped top plate 301.

[0074] Sleeve 303 is installed on support 305; spring 304 is placed inside sleeve 303, and one end of spring 304 is fixed to sleeve 303; push rod 302 passes through spring 304 and sleeve 303, and is fixedly connected to the other end of spring 304; arc-shaped top plate 301 is connected to push rod 302.

[0075] In use, the end of the push rod 302 furthest from the arc-shaped top plate 301 is pulled. As the push rod 302 moves along the sleeve 303, it compresses the spring 304, causing the spring 304 to elastically deform and move the arc-shaped top plate 301. Releasing the push rod 302 causes it to return to its original position due to the elastic deformation force of the spring 304, which in turn moves the arc-shaped top plate back to its original position. Essentially, when the spring undergoes elastic deformation, it pushes the push rod, which in turn pushes the arc-shaped top plate, causing the arc-shaped top plate and the positioning arc plate to clamp the large red tangerine.

[0076] According to the above embodiments, the working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0077] Pulling the push rod on the clamping component moves the arc-shaped top plate, allowing the large red tangerine to be placed into the clamping mechanism. Releasing the push rod then causes the spring to push it, which in turn pushes the arc-shaped top plate to support the large red tangerine. The arc-shaped top plate and the positioning arc plate clamp the large red tangerine. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 6 detects the large red tangerine, and the control module 34 controls the clamping drive component 5 to drive the clamping suction cup 51 to adhere to the large red tangerine. The first vacuum pump 2 operates, generating negative pressure in the clamping suction cup, which can then suck up the large red tangerine, providing support and fixation.

[0078] Meanwhile, the control module controls the conversion drive 26 to work, driving the support frame to rotate. The support frame 24 drives the cutting mechanism to rotate towards the second rotating positioning member 16. At the same time, the pulp crushing mechanism rotates accordingly. The positioning rod 13 on the cutting mechanism touches the second rotating positioning member 16. The control module controls the rotating drive 26 to temporarily stop working and controls the first telescopic drive 23 to work. The first telescopic drive 23 drives the first support plate to move down until it touches the second cutting positioning member 33. The first telescopic drive stops working. At this time, the tip 131 of the positioning rod 13 is inserted into the mandarin orange, and the cutter 8 is also inserted into the mandarin orange. The first drive motor 21 drives the drive wheel 19 to rotate. The drive wheel 19 is meshed with the driven wheel 18 and driven to rotate. The driven wheel 18 drives the positioning rod 13 to rotate. The positioning rod 13 drives the knife holder 9 and the cutter 8 to rotate. The cutter 8 rotates to complete the cutting. The first drive motor 21 stops. The second vacuum pump 15 starts and the gripping suction cup 10 forms a negative pressure to suck up the peel cut by the cutter 8. The first telescopic drive component 23 is activated again, causing the first support plate 22 to move upward. The first support plate 22 causes the positioning rod 13, the knife holder 9, the cutter 8, the gripping rod 12, the gripping suction cup 10, and the fruit peel sucked by the gripping suction cup to move upward until they touch the first cutting positioning component 29. The conversion drive component 26 is activated again, causing the support frame 24 to rotate in the opposite direction. The support frame causes the cutting mechanism to detach from the worktable 1 and rotate until the rotating shaft on the pulp crushing mechanism touches the first conversion positioning component 14. The conversion drive component 26 stops working, the second vacuum pump 15 stops working, the gripping suction cup 10 loses its negative pressure effect, and the fruit peel sucked by it detaches from the gripping suction cup under its own gravity.

[0079] Simultaneously, the second telescopic drive 27 drives the second support plate 30 to move downwards, and the rotating shaft 35 and the meat grinder 11 follow suit, moving downwards until they touch the second meat grinder positioning member 32. At this point, the second telescopic drive 27 stops working. Then, the rotating shaft 35 drives the meat grinder 11 through the notch cut into the mandarin orange by the cutting mechanism to extend into the mandarin orange. The second drive motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, and the meat grinder 11 rotates accordingly. Multiple soft heads and a shredder grind the pulp inside the mandarin orange, separating the pulp from the peel. The grinding time can be set to 10 to 20 seconds. After the set time, the second drive motor 31 stops working, and the second telescopic drive 27 restarts, driving the second support plate 30 to move upwards. The rotating shaft 35 and the meat grinder 11 move upwards and detach from the mandarin orange. They move upwards until they touch the first meat grinder positioning member 28, at which point the second telescopic drive stops working. The switching drive 26 restarts, driving the support frame to rotate and reset. The support frame then drives the pulp crushing mechanism and the cutting mechanism to reset. The clamping drive mechanism resets the clamping suction cup, causing it to lose its vacuum and detach from the peel. Pulling the top rod detaches the curved top plate from the peel, allowing the peel to be removed, thus completing one cut of the tangerine peel. Repeating this process allows for continuous removal of peels.

[0080] The removed tangerine peel is then poured into a juice collection tank, where the crushed pulp and juice are collected to recover the pulp and juice. The resulting tangerine peel is then dried to obtain dried tangerine peel (chenpi).

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
