Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a peeling process for cellulose foods using a peeling agent. Background Technology

[0002] Cellulose foods are foods from which cellulose can be extracted, and they are the raw materials for certain products. During processing, cellulose foods need to be peeled first, and then the cellulose is extracted.

[0003] Generally, cellulose-containing foods that need peeling are soaked in a peeling agent solution to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of peeling. However, currently, cellulose-containing foods are usually simply left to stand in the peeling agent solution; the efficiency and effectiveness of this soaking process need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a peeling process for cellulose foods using a peeling agent, wherein the cellulose foods are soaked in a peeling agent solution using an soaking device to improve the peeling efficiency and peeling effect of the cellulose foods.

[0005] The soaking device includes: a storage tank containing a peeling agent solution, a loading cylinder containing cellulose food, and a multi-dimensional drive mechanism.

[0006] The multidimensional drive mechanism drives the material carrier cylinder to perform multidimensional superimposed motion in the peeling agent solution in the storage tank; the multidimensional superimposed motion of the material carrier cylinder includes the superposition of the following motions: the material carrier cylinder reciprocates eccentrically around a horizontal axis, the material carrier cylinder reciprocates around a vertical axis, and the material carrier cylinder reciprocates up and down.

[0007] By using the multidimensional superposition motion of the feeding cylinder, the efficiency and effectiveness of soaking cellulose foods in peeling agent solution can be improved.

[0008] For details on the specific structure of the material carrier and the multi-dimensional drive mechanism of the present invention, as well as their cooperation scheme, please refer to the specific embodiments.

[0009] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: It provides a peeling process for cellulose foods using a peeling agent, which can soak the cellulose foods in a peeling agent solution, thereby improving the peeling efficiency and effect; it also enables the carrier cylinder carrying the cellulose foods to undergo multi-dimensional superimposed motion in the peeling agent solution (including the superimposed motion of the following: reciprocating eccentric rotation of the carrier cylinder around a horizontal axis, reciprocating rotation of the carrier cylinder around a vertical axis, and reciprocating lifting of the carrier cylinder), thereby improving the efficiency and effect of soaking the cellulose foods in the peeling agent solution; and the multi-dimensional superimposed motion of the carrier cylinder only requires one power source (one motor) to drive it, without the need for multiple independent power sources (such as an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder to reciprocate eccentric rotation around a horizontal axis, an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder to reciprocate rotation around a vertical axis, and an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder to reciprocate lifting), thus avoiding the trouble of coordinating and controlling multiple independent power sources.

A horizontal support ring 65 is fitted around the upper rotating column 33, coaxial with the upper rotating column 33, and has its top surface fixed to the bottom end of the pair of upper guide posts 81 and its bottom surface fixed to the top end of the pair of lower guide posts 82. A pair of vertical lower guide posts 82 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the support ring 65. A pair of vertically mounted lifting cylinders 9 are fixed to the outer ring of the support ring 65 on the side and at the top respectively. An upper spring 83 is installed on each upper guide post 81 and located between the lifting plate 61 and the support ring 65 (the upper spring 83 is always compressed between the lifting plate 61 and the support ring 65). A lower spring 84 is installed on each lower guide post 82 and located between the support ring 65 and the lifting ring 64 (the lower spring 84 is always compressed between the support ring 65 and the lifting ring 64). A spiral guide groove 35 is opened on the outer circumferential surface of the upper rotating post 33 and extends vertically in a spiral shape. A flat guide rod 66 is inserted into the spiral guide groove 35 and slides with the spiral guide groove 35. A support 67 is fixed on the support ring 65 and fixed to the other end of the guide rod 66.

[0017] The material carrier 2 is located in the liquid storage tank 1; the material carrier 2 includes: a circular back plate 21 that is vertically placed and whose rear surface is eccentrically fixed to the front end of the lower rotating shaft 41 (the back plate 21 and the lower rotating shaft 41 are not coaxial), a cylindrical mesh cylinder 22 whose rear end is fixed to the edge of the front surface of the back plate 21 and is coaxial with the back plate 21, and a circular door plate 23 that is located at the front end of the mesh cylinder 22, coaxial with the mesh cylinder 22, and can be opened and closed;

[0018] More specifically:

[0019] The lifting plate 61 is provided with a pair of upper shaft holes through which a pair of upper guide posts 81 pass in a one-to-one correspondence; the pair of upper guide posts 81 pass through the corresponding upper shaft holes respectively, and the upper guide posts 81 slide with the corresponding upper shaft holes.

[0020] The lifting ring 64 is provided with a pair of lower shaft holes through which a pair of lower guide posts 82 pass in one-to-one; the pair of lower guide posts 82 pass through the corresponding lower shaft holes respectively, and the lower guide posts 82 slide with the corresponding lower shaft holes.

[0021] The pair of upper guide posts 81 are symmetrically arranged;

[0022] The pair of lower guide posts 82 are symmetrically arranged;

[0023] The pair of lifting cylinders 9 are symmetrically arranged;

[0024] The inner diameters of the lower toothed ring 63, the lifting ring 64, and the support ring 65 are all no less than the outer diameters of the connecting rod 31, the lower rotating column 32, and the upper rotating column 33.

[0025] The door panel 23 is a mesh panel;

[0026] The multi-dimensional driving mechanism drives the material carrier 2 to perform multi-dimensional superimposed motion in the peeling agent solution in the storage tank 1, including the following steps:

[0027] A pair of lifting cylinders 9 are controlled to drive the support ring 65 to move upward. The support ring 65 drives the material cylinder 2 to move upward through a pair of upper guide columns 81, lifting plate 61, bearing 34, upper rotating column 33, lower rotating column 32, connecting rod 31, and lower rotating shaft 41 until the material cylinder 2 moves to the top of the storage tank 1. Then, the door plate 23 of the material cylinder 2 is opened, and the cellulose food that needs to be soaked in the peeling agent solution is placed into the material cylinder 2. Then, the door plate 23 is closed. Then, a pair of lifting cylinders 9 are controlled to drive the support ring 65 to move downward. The support ring 65 drives the material cylinder 2 to move downward through a pair of upper guide columns 81, lifting plate 61, bearing 34, upper rotating column 33, lower rotating column 32, connecting rod 31, and lower rotating shaft 41 until the material cylinder 2 is completely immersed in the peeling agent solution in the storage tank 1.

[0028] Then, the motor 72 drives the upper gear 71 to reciprocate; the upper gear 71 drives the upper rotating column 33 to reciprocate through the upper gear ring 62, and the upper rotating column 33 drives the connecting rod 31 to reciprocate through the lower rotating column 32. The connecting rod 31 drives the material cylinder 2 to reciprocate around the axis of the connecting rod 31 through the lower rotating shaft 41, thus realizing: the material cylinder 2 reciprocates around a vertical axis (the axis of the connecting rod 31); and during the reciprocating rotation of the lower rotating column 32 around its own axis, the lower rotating column 32 drives the lower gear 54 to mesh and rotate on the bottom surface of the lower gear ring 63 through the upper rotating shaft 42 (the lower gear ring 63 does not rotate), so that the lower gear 54 reciprocates around the axis of the upper rotating shaft 42; and the lower gear 54 drives the driving wheel 52 to reciprocate through the upper rotating shaft 42, and the driving wheel 52 drives the driven wheel 51 to reciprocate through the transmission belt 53, and the driven wheel 51 drives the material cylinder 2 to reciprocate around the lower rotating shaft 41. The rotating shaft 41 reciprocates eccentrically, thus achieving the following: the material cylinder 2 reciprocates eccentrically around a horizontal axis (the axis of the lower rotating shaft 41); and during the reciprocating rotation of the upper rotating column 33 around its own axis, the guide rod 66 and the spiral guide groove 35 slide together, causing the upper rotating column 33 to reciprocate up and down relative to the guide rod 66 and the support ring 65 (the guide rod 66 does not reciprocate up and down relative to the support ring 65). The upper rotating column 33 drives the lifting plate 61, the lower rotating column 32, the connecting rod 31, and the material cylinder 2 to reciprocate up and down relative to the support ring 65, thus achieving the following: the material cylinder 2 reciprocates up and down; the upper spring 83 supports the lifting plate 61 to reciprocate up and down relative to the support ring 65; and during the reciprocating up and down movement of the lower gear 54 with the lower rotating column 32 relative to the support ring 65, the lower spring 84 always presses the lower gear ring 63 onto the lower gear 54, so that the lower gear 54 always meshes with a ring of teeth on the bottom surface of the lower gear ring 63.

[0029] After the control motor 72 drives the upper gear 71 to reciprocate for a certain period of time, the motor 72 is turned off. At this time, the cellulose food in the loading cylinder 2 has completed the soaking treatment with the peeling agent solution. Then, the control of a pair of lifting cylinders 9 drives the support ring 65 to move upward. The support ring 65 drives the loading cylinder 2 to move upward through a pair of upper guide columns 81, lifting plate 61, bearing 34, upper rotating column 33, lower rotating column 32, connecting rod 31, and lower rotating shaft 41 until the loading cylinder 2 moves to the top of the storage tank 1. Then, the door plate 23 of the loading cylinder 2 is opened to take out the cellulose food that has completed the soaking treatment with the peeling agent solution in the loading cylinder 2.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, the cellulose food peeling process of the present invention can soak cellulose foods in a peeling agent solution, which can improve the peeling efficiency and peeling effect of cellulose foods; it can also enable the carrier cylinder 2 carrying cellulose foods to perform multi-dimensional superimposed motion in the peeling agent solution (including the superimposed motion of the following: reciprocating eccentric rotation of the carrier cylinder 2 around a horizontal axis, reciprocating rotation of the carrier cylinder 2 around a vertical axis, and reciprocating lifting of the carrier cylinder 2), which can improve the efficiency and effect of soaking cellulose foods in the peeling agent solution; and the multi-dimensional superimposed motion of the carrier cylinder 2 only requires one power source (one motor 72) to drive it, without the need for multiple independent power sources (such as an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder 2 to reciprocate eccentric rotation around a horizontal axis, an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder 2 to reciprocate rotation around a vertical axis, and an independent power source driving the carrier cylinder 2 to reciprocate lifting), which can avoid the trouble of coordinating and controlling multiple independent power sources.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
