AI Technical Summary
In existing chili destemming machines, the chilies are unevenly distributed in the drum, easily accumulating, resulting in incomplete destemming. The drum rotation is unstable, with high friction, making it difficult to effectively process chilies with bent stems. Furthermore, the equipment is costly and inefficient.
The chili peppers are evenly distributed in the drum by using an inclined plate. The chili peppers move forward through the inclined plate and inertial force. Combined with auxiliary support components and an improved mesh design, the drum's flexible support is enhanced, friction is reduced, and stability is improved. The multi-point support structure is designed to increase the exposure of the stem.
This method achieves uniform distribution of chili peppers in the drum and efficient stem removal, reduces friction, improves drum stability and stem removal efficiency, reduces the amount of chili peppers exposed, and lowers equipment costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a chili pepper stem removal machine and a method for stem removal and conveying. Background Technology
[0002] The original chili stem removal machine involved chilies entering through the feed section and then into a rotating drum via a feeding port at the bottom of the feed section. The chilies were propelled upwards by a deflector within the drum, and then fell due to their own weight, with their stems randomly entering the drum's mesh. During rotation, cutters removed the stems from the chilies in the mesh. The stem-removed chilies then moved forward within the drum and were output from the discharge section.
[0003] During use, the patentee creatively discovered that since chili peppers are usually stemmed at the front end of the drum, they tend to accumulate at the front. The urgent technical problem to be solved is how to distribute the chili peppers as evenly as possible in the drum, reduce accumulation, achieve better uniform output of chili peppers, and avoid incomplete stem removal, without adding extra special accessories, while ensuring that the drum is lightweight, high-strength, and low-cost.
[0004] The chili stem removal machine, also known as a stem removal machine or stem trimming machine, is mentioned in the applicant's previous patent applications CN210642371U, CN210642372U, CN305738025S, etc. It has a rotating drum. The chili peppers move forward on the rotating drum, and the rolled-up chili peppers fall under their own weight, so that the stem of the chili pepper is inserted into the mesh of the drum. The blades separate the chili pepper body from the stem.
[0005] Because the roller has a horizontal structure, it suffers from roller rotational skew, unstable vibration, and high rotational friction. Ensuring stable roller rotation, a stable center of gravity, improving roller flexibility, and reducing friction have become urgent technical problems to be solved.
[0006] The original chili stem removal machine typically used a roller to move the chilies forward. It removed the stems using a circular hole. As the roller rotated, the chilies rose to the top and fell freely under their own weight, allowing the stems to enter the hole and protrude. However, in practice, this was not effective for chilies with curved stems (as shown in the image). If the hole diameter was too small, the stems wouldn't protrude; if it was too large, the stems would protrude significantly, and the chilies might even be squeezed out due to mutual pressure. Therefore, performing a secondary stem removal on curved-stem chilies was inefficient. How to effectively remove the stems from curved-stem chilies became a pressing technical problem. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a chili pepper stem removal machine and a method for stem removal and conveying.
[0008] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0009] To improve the output of chili peppers and avoid excessive accumulation of chili peppers at the import point, a chili pepper stem removal machine and stem removal process are provided, including a frame section; a roller is provided on the frame section.
[0010] One end of the roller has a feeding port, and a feeding section is provided on the frame. The lower end of the feeding section is connected to the feeding port.
[0011] The roller has a connected front section and a rear section;
[0012] The front section is close to the feed inlet;
[0013] A pusher is provided in the drum;
[0014] The actuating part includes an inclined plate;
[0015] The inclined plate is in the front section.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0017] To achieve output, a discharge section is set at the other end of the roller.
[0018] In order to move the chili pepper forward, the inclined plate pushes the chili pepper or the chili pepper moves forward towards the rear section under the reaction force of the inclined plate;
[0019] As the drum rotates, the inclined plate lifts the chili peppers upwards; under the influence of gravity and inertia, the chili peppers slide forward or are propelled forward.
[0020] To achieve a reasonable layout, the inclined plate is oblique to or different from the center line of the roller axis; the inclined plate can be a curved plate, a straight plate, or a curved plate.
[0021] There are several inclined plates; the inclined plates are connected to the main plate;
[0022] To achieve output, some sections of the main board are set vertically;
[0023] From the feeding port to the discharge port, the agitator acts as a guide for the chili peppers to move forward.
[0024] As part of the overall optimization, the roller has a shank-free mesh assembly. A rolling support component for supporting the roller is provided on the frame.
[0025] To remove the stems, one method for removing chili pepper stems involves the chili peppers falling through a mesh as the drum rotates. To output the chili peppers, another method involves the chili peppers undergoing the following steps from the feed inlet to the discharge outlet;
[0026] Step one: As the drum rotates, the inclined plate lifts the relatively stationary and / or moving peppers upwards; then, under the influence of gravity and inertia, the peppers slide forward or are propelled forward.
[0027] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0028] Step two: As the drum continues to rotate, the chili peppers fall off the inclined plate. Upon contact with the inclined surface of the plate, the rising and rotating inclined plate propels the falling chili peppers forward at an angle. A actuating part is provided in the drum; the actuating part includes the inclined plate; the inclined plate is located in the front section.
[0029] As the chili peppers move forward, the aforementioned stem removal method is performed.
[0030] Increase the amount of chili stem that enters the mesh.
[0031] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0032] To achieve flexible support for the horizontal roller, better support, and reduce friction, an auxiliary support assembly is provided, including a support member with a shaft on the support member; a hinge arm is provided on the shaft; the hinge arm is oscillating through the shaft; the shaft is located in the middle of the hinge arm; side contact parts are provided at both ends of the hinge arm; the side contact parts are movably arranged on the hinge arm; and the two side contact parts have gaps between them.
[0033] To reduce friction, the side contact part makes line contact, point contact, or surface contact with the rotating body being contacted; the side contact part makes rotational or cyclic contact with the rotating body being contacted.
[0034] To improve strength and avoid obstruction, the articulated arm has a curved section corresponding to the gap.
[0035] To achieve stable support, the rolling support component includes at least one of the aforementioned auxiliary support components; the support members are disposed on both sides or one side of the lower part of the contacting rotating body; the contacting rotating body includes a roller.
[0036] To prevent the roller from jumping or vibrating and to reduce vibration, support wheels are provided at the bottom of the roller and / or auxiliary pressure rollers are provided at the top of the roller.
[0037] To reduce the normal pressure on the roller and reduce friction, the auxiliary support assembly bears the component force F1 of the roller's weight G. The component force F1 is located at the gap. The component force F1 generates two component forces F11 and F12 on the two side contact parts. The side contact parts bear the corresponding component force F11 or F12 laterally.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, when two auxiliary support components are used, the side contact portions at both ends of both sides are in contact with the outer wall of the roller.
[0039] To achieve greater stem exposure and reduce the exposure of the pepper body, a stem removal mesh assembly includes a through-hole portion disposed on a roller; the through-hole portion includes mesh holes and has angular portions.
[0040] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the following technical solutions or features can be used in combination or individually.
[0041] To achieve a three-dimensional combination of holes with corners or rounded corners, the shankless mesh assembly also includes scheme a, where the mesh holes on the rolled or rolled roller are square holes, triangular holes, and / or diamond holes;
[0042] And / or scheme b, the through-hole portion includes process holes provided on the outside or inside of the mesh holes, the process holes having different shapes and / or being staggered with the mesh holes.
[0043] To guide the chili peppers and improve work efficiency, the angular part is formed by misaligning the process holes with the mesh holes, or when the process holes are located on the inside, the side of the process holes serves as a guide rail.
[0044] To enable the hook to be exposed with a curved handle, the first and second barriers are made of steel wire.
[0045] As an extended protection, a destalking roller includes a roller on which the aforementioned destalking mesh assembly is disposed. A destalking device includes a frame and the aforementioned destalking roller on the frame.
[0046] As a beneficial effect, the present invention achieves multi-point support at the lower part of the circumference, especially forming three gaps, which better straightens the roller, prevents it from tipping over, avoids excessive frictional resistance, and improves flexibility. This reduces the machining accuracy required for the roller's roundness, coaxiality, and radial runout, resulting in lower noise, better stability, and improved lifespan of the support wheel, making its rotation more flexible and its compatibility better.
[0047] This invention improves the circular hole of the roller, thereby opening more meshes on a limited surface, improving the stem exposure effect, further realizing the hooking of the bent stem, preventing the chili pepper from re-entering the inner cavity of the roller as it rotates, improving separation efficiency, preventing more chili peppers from being exposed or even squeezed out, increasing the exposed stem and reducing the exposed body.
[0048] The mesh-like perforations, with square or other holes applied to the elongated slots, allow for better flexible exposure of the stem. The rotating body serves as the main structure, facilitating chili pepper storage and rotational output. The first and second enclosures define the boundaries of the holes, while the angular sections define the corners of the non-circular holes, further enhancing stem exposure and minimizing the exposure of the chili pepper body. A reinforced frame provides structural support, and the side arc-shaped openings and angular sections further enhance stem exposure. Inner, outer, and guide rails guide and store the chili peppers, ensuring better stem exposure. Attached Figure Description

[0069] like Figure 1-19 As shown in the figure, the chili pepper stem removal machine and stem removal and conveying method of this embodiment should be noted that, in order to better show the difference from the previous stem removal machine, the main components, such as bolts, hardware, circuits, auxiliary connectors, standard parts, reinforcing ribs, and supports, are shown but omitted, which can be obtained according to actual use. The specific core is as follows.
[0070] like Figure 1 , 2 and Figure 10 The chili stem removal machine and stem removal device of this embodiment include a frame part 5; a roller 1 is provided on the frame part 5; it is generally a horizontal structure, but it can be slightly inclined or tapered.
[0071] In order to allow the chili peppers to enter, one end of the roller 1 has a feeding port 34, and a feeding part 33 is provided on the frame part 5, with the lower end of the feeding part 33 connected to the feeding port 34;
[0072] The roller 1 has a front section 36 and a rear section 37 connected together; the front section pushes the chili peppers, and the rear section adopts a structure parallel to the roller axis, thereby achieving efficient sorting, increasing the residence time of the chili peppers, achieving uniform distribution, and ensuring the quality of stem removal.
[0073] The front section 36 is close to the feeding port 34, thus preventing the chili peppers from accumulating at the port.
[0074] A toggle part 35 is provided in the drum 1, thereby enabling the chili peppers to rise inside the drum.
[0075] The actuating part 35 includes an inclined plate 39, thereby creating an inclined surface that becomes a ramp structure as it rises, thus ensuring the chili pepper moves forward and preventing damage to the chili pepper.
[0076] The inclined plate 39 is in the front section 36.
[0077] A discharge section 40 is provided at the other end of the roller 1.
[0078] As a specific structure, the inclined plate 39 pushes the chili pepper or the chili pepper moves forward towards the rear section 37 under the reaction force of the inclined plate 39 towards the rear section 37; the forward force is generated due to the weight of the chili pepper.
[0079] As the drum 1 rotates, the inclined plate 39 lifts the chili peppers upwards; under the influence of gravity and inertia, the chili peppers slide forward or are propelled forward.
[0080] As an extended protection, the inclined plate 39 is oblique to or different from the axis of the roller 1; the inclined plate 39 is a curved plate, a straight plate or a curved plate.
[0081] There are several inclined plates 39; the inclined plates 39 are connected to the main plate 38;
[0082] As a limitation, the main body plate 38 can be set longitudinally in some sections, or it can be set longitudinally as a whole, or it can be a pivot, a smooth plate, a curved plate or other structures with the same function.
[0083] From the feeding port 34 to the discharge section 40, the agitator 35 serves as a guide rail for the chili peppers to move forward, thereby realizing the conveying of chili peppers using a slope.
[0084] As a further extension, the roller 1 has the following shank-free mesh assembly. The following rolling support members for supporting the roller 1 are provided on the frame section 5.
[0085] In this embodiment of the chili pepper stem removal method, when the roller 1 rotates, the chili peppers fall and enter the mesh holes 22.
[0086] In the chili conveying method of this embodiment, the chili peppers are conveyed from the feeding port 34 to the discharge section 40 by performing the following steps;
[0087] Step 1: When the roller 1 rotates, the inclined plate 39 drives the relatively stationary and / or moving peppers to rise; then, under the action of the peppers' gravity and inertial force, the peppers slide forward or are pushed forward.
[0088] Step 2: As the drum 1 continues to rotate, the chili peppers fall from the inclined plate 39. After contacting the inclined surface of the inclined plate 39, the rising and rotating inclined plate 39 obliquely forwards the falling chili peppers. A pusher part 35 is provided in the drum 1. The pusher part 35 includes the inclined plate 39. The inclined plate 39 is in the front section 36.
[0089] As the chili peppers move forward, the above-described stem removal method is performed.
[0090] For example, in Figure 3 Before the improvement, the roller 1 was supported by two support wheels 2, and its rotation axis OO was fixed. In addition, the components of the gravity G of the roller 1, F1 and F2, act directly on the support wheels 2, causing the support wheels 2 to directly bear the components of F1 and F2. As a result, the support wheels 2 have high rotational resistance and are not flexible in rotation under the action of positive pressure.
[0091] As an improvement, such as Figure 4-9 As shown in the figure, the auxiliary support component 4 for the chili processing equipment in this embodiment, where chili peppers are preferred, can also be used for other types of chili peppers such as pointed peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and long eggplants. As a main component, it includes a support member 7, which can be a casting, forging, or welded piece, and is not limited to the structure shown in the figure. Figure 7 The structure allows for better obstruction avoidance. A shaft 8 is provided on the support member 7, which acts as a fulcrum to bear gravity, thereby preventing obstruction. Figure 3 The problem of the wheel bearing being subjected to component forces F11 and F12;
[0092] A hinge arm 11 is provided on the shaft 8, and the hinge arm 11 is oscillating through the shaft 8;
[0093] The shaft portion 8 is located in the middle of the hinge arm 11; however, the middle portion is not required to be at the center.
[0094] Side contact portions 9 are provided at both ends of the hinge arm 11; the attached figure shows rollers. If hollow rollers are used, or if the side contact portions 9 are expanded into multiple wheels to form multi-wheel contact, it also constitutes the same.
[0095] The side contact part 9 is movably mounted on the hinge arm 11; it is shown as rotating in the figure. When multiple rollers are used, or when auxiliary rollers are provided, it can swing slightly.
[0096] The two contact portions 9 have gaps 10.
[0097] compared to Figure 3 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the component forces F1 and F2 that it receives are applied to the side contact part 9, avoiding direct pressure on the side contact part 9, thereby preventing the side contact part 9 from bearing direct pressure, thus making the roller rotate more flexibly.
[0098] Preferably, the side contact portion 9 is within the protection range whether it is in line contact, point contact, or surface contact with the rotating body being contacted.
[0099] The side contact portion 9 is in rotational or cyclic contact with the rotating body being contacted. The side contact portion 9 is a roller, wheel, or ball, or an equivalent structure.
[0100] The articulated arm 11 has a curved portion 12 corresponding to the gap 10, thereby avoiding obstruction and increasing its bending strength.
[0101] As an extension, the rolling support component for chili processing equipment in this embodiment includes at least one of the above-mentioned auxiliary support components 4;
[0102] The support component 7 is provided on both sides or one side of the lower part of the rotating body being contacted; preferably both sides, so as to achieve automatic centering.
[0103] The rotating body being contacted includes roller 1 or other actively driven rotating body. If it is a detangling machine, the roller is a mesh cylinder.
[0104] like Figure 6 A support wheel 2 is provided at the lower part of the roller 1; preferably, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 An auxiliary pressure roller 6 is installed at the top of roller 1 to assist in downward pressure and reduce roller 1's vibration. To reduce vibration, an auxiliary pressure roller 6 is installed at the top of roller 1. Figure 7 The cutting tool achieves further internal support.
[0105] like Figure 5 The auxiliary support component 4 bears the component force F1 of the weight G of the roller 1. The component force F1 is located at the interval 10. The component force F1 generates two component forces F11 and F12 on the two side contact parts 9. The side contact parts 9 bear the corresponding component force F11 or F12 laterally. Its flexible swing realizes the flexible support of the roller 1. Through four-wheel positioning, the central gap and the two side interval gaps 10 form three gaps, thereby making the roller more stable, reducing the positive pressure on the side contact parts 9, making the rotation more flexible, and reducing noise.
[0106] The side contact parts 9 of the auxiliary support component 4 are all in rolling contact with the roller 1, which results in less friction compared to sliding contact.
[0107] When two auxiliary support components 4 are used, the side contact portions 9 at both ends of both sides are in contact with the outer wall of the roller 1.
[0108] Furthermore, the chili processing equipment of this embodiment includes a frame section 5, the structure of which is not limited to the figure shown, and the aforementioned rolling support component is provided on the frame section 5;
[0109] Preferably, the roller 1 is supported by two auxiliary support components 4. Preferably, the auxiliary support components 4 and the support wheel 2 are adjusted to adjust the rotation axis.
[0110] As a shank removal machine structure, a blade assembly 3 is provided in the drum 1, and the blade assembly 3 is separated from the inner side wall of the drum 1 to achieve shank removal and separation.
[0111] A longitudinal tool holder 13 located in the drum 1 is provided in the frame section 5, thereby enabling the tool to be installed over a long distance in the inner cavity of the drum;
[0112] As a preferred tool, a knife holder 14 is distributed on the longitudinal knife holder 13, and a knife handle 15 is hinged to the knife holder 14. A front blade 17 and a knife spatula back 16 are provided at the front end of the knife handle 15, thereby realizing the removal of the stems from the chili peppers.
[0113] A tailstock 18 is provided at the tail of the handle 15. A spring 19 is provided between the tailstock 18 and the tool holder 14. The spring 19 uses spring force to make the front end of the handle 15 contact the inner wall of the roller 1 to achieve support.
[0114] As a beneficial effect, the present invention provides flexible support for the rotating horizontal roller 1 by setting at least one, preferably two, auxiliary support components 4 in the frame part 5. Compared with using only the support wheel 2, it has better flexibility, smaller lateral tilting force, and is compatible with the out-of-roundness and runout tolerance of the roller 1. It rotates stably and achieves swing support through the hinge arm 11. It has good compatibility and self-adjustment, always keeps the side contact part 9 in contact, and is easy to center. The blade assembly 3 performs shearing and assists in straightening the roller. The auxiliary pressure roller 6 provides downward pressure and straightening. The support 7 serves as a reference and can be welded to the frame. The shaft 8 acts as a fulcrum and bears the lateral pressure, sharing the pressure of the side contact part 9. The gap 10 accommodates the roller, thus turning the previously top-contact roller into a support, making it more stable and allowing the roller to rotate more smoothly. The bending part 12 can ensure good bending strength. The longitudinal blade holder 13 allows for the installation of the blade holder 14, facilitating the hinge of the blade handle part 15. The blade back 16 and the front blade face 17 provide better shearing, while the rear tailstock 18 and spring part 19 provide auxiliary support.
[0115] like Figure 1-19 As shown in the figure, this embodiment includes a handle removal mesh assembly, a handle removal roller, and a handle removal device.
[0116] like Figure 10 As shown, this is a handle removal machine, also called a handle trimmer or handle cutter. The handle removal mesh assembly of this embodiment includes a through-hole portion disposed on the roller 1; the through-hole portion includes mesh holes 22 and has an edge portion 26. The through-hole portion of the present invention, compared to... Figure 11 As shown, the technical problem discovered and solved by this invention is that a circular hole with a smooth, uniform transition allows the chili pepper to be evenly stressed, making it easier to squeeze out chili peppers with straight stems. This invention cleverly designs the angled portion 26, preventing the chili pepper from being evenly squeezed and thus making it less likely to be squeezed out. By setting the angled portion 26, the space for the curved stem can also be increased. For the same roller body, a circular hole provides the largest area of exposed chili pepper, while the angled portion 26, with its rhomboid ends, cannot allow the stem to be exposed, resulting in waste. Therefore, a square hole is optimal and also inexpensive.
[0117] The through-hole passes through the stem of the curved-stem chili pepper 28 and blocks the calyx cap from passing through.
[0118] As an improvement, such as Figure 12 and Figure 16 The handle-free mesh assembly may also include
[0119] Option a, the mesh holes 22 on the roller 1 after flattening or rolling are square holes, triangular holes and / or diamond holes; preferably square holes, thus having four corner portions 26, and are easy to process.
[0120] And / or scheme b, the through-hole portion includes process holes provided on the outside or inside of the mesh holes 22, the process holes having different shapes and / or being staggered with the mesh holes 22. The shapes can be combinations of triangles, ellipses, and circles, etc. The term "staggered" means that the process holes and mesh holes are combined to form triangular holes, square holes, or irregularly shaped holes, etc., thereby preventing the chili peppers from being squeezed evenly. Although not shown in the attached drawings, all of these can be obtained effortlessly, and therefore are all within the scope of protection.
[0121] The corner portion 26 is formed by misalignment between the process hole and the mesh hole 22, or when the process hole is located on the inside, the side portion of the process hole serves as a guide rail portion 32. For example... Figures 12-14 The elliptical holes serve as a guide for the peppers entering the mesh, allowing for temporary storage and extending their residence time, thus facilitating greater exposure of the pepper stem.
[0122] like Figure 16 The mesh 22 includes an outer perimeter; it can be used alone, but an inner support can be added to enhance rigidity.
[0123] For ease of description, the outer perimeter includes the first perimeter 24 and / or the second perimeter 25; as... Figure 14 and Figure 16 The two barriers can be set in a warp and weft pattern, or they can be set at an angle to form a spiral shape, thus forming a diamond-shaped hole, or they can be set in a triangular hole or other reasonable way, all of which are within the protection range.
[0124] As a quantity limitation, one or more of the first fence 24 and / or one or more of the second fence 25 are all within the protection scope;
[0125] The corner portion 26 is located between the first enclosure 24 and the second enclosure 25, between the two first enclosures 24 or between the second enclosures 25. In short, regardless of its location, as long as it has a corner portion 26 that enables uneven compression, it is within the protection range.
[0126] The drum 1 includes a rotating body 23, which is rotatably arranged so that the chili peppers move forward through its inner cavity;
[0127] like Figure 11The roller 1 has a reinforcing frame 27, which is preferred to improve the strength of the roller. As an example, by welding square holes 22 into the wire rope, the rolled cylinder is attached to the reinforcing frame 27, thereby eliminating the need for a rolled cylinder corresponding to the process hole that can also be used as a support.
[0128] like Figure 13 The process holes are elongated slot holes 21, diamond-shaped holes, round holes or elliptical holes, which can guide the peppers, temporarily fix and guide the peppers, and extend the hooking time.
[0129] like Figures 17-19 For better protection, the first enclosure 24 and the second enclosure 25 can be on the same curved surface or on different curved surfaces to provide protection.
[0130] As an improvement of the present invention, on the outer side wall of the rear drum 1 of the drum,
[0131] The high and low points of the mesh holes 22 have a drop H, forming a side arc-shaped gap 29, i.e. a three-dimensional spatial hole, thereby increasing the probability of the handle being exposed; compared with circular holes, square holes increase the exposed space through the corners.
[0132] When steel wire is used to form the mesh, the mesh 22 has an inner stop portion 30 and an outer stop portion 31 that are arranged with inner and outer overlaps.
[0133] As a preferred embodiment, the first enclosure 24 and the second enclosure 25 are respectively the inner enclosure 30 and the outer enclosure 31, or the first enclosure 24 and the second enclosure 25 are respectively the outer enclosure 31 and the inner enclosure 30.
[0134] Two adjacent inner baffles 30 located on the inner curved surface form a baffle 32, which serves as a guide for the mesh holes 22 and guides the chili peppers.
