Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fruit segmenting tools, in particular to a fruit segmenting device. Background Art

[0002] my country is a major producer and exporter of citrus processed products such as canned citrus slices and canned citrus cysts. Such canned products are generally made from Wenzhou mandarin oranges. The production process includes grading, peeling, segmenting, removing cysts, canning, and sealing of citrus. The segmentation process is an important part of the entire citrus processing. Existing segmentation processing methods are often based on manual processing, which requires a lot of labor. Therefore, automating this link can significantly reduce the demand for labor. Existing automatic citrus segmentation equipment uses a high-pressure water column to impact downward from the top of the peeled citrus ball to split the citrus. Although the equipment is more efficient, the non-directional impact of the high-pressure water column can easily cause damage to the citrus segments. At the same time, many citrus segments cannot be flushed open, and the breakage rate exceeds 20%.

[0003] The existing publication number is CN104256870 A, and its name is citrus segmenting equipment. In view of the existing defects such as no orientation and easy damage to the orange segments, a citrus segmenting equipment is provided, which can quickly find the boundary line of citrus segments and perform directional cutting to solve the traditional problems. Although this technical solution uses machine vision to identify the citrus orange ball and analyze the boundary line between each segment, a stepper motor is used to drive the slit to rotate, and high-pressure water is rushed out from the slit to impact the boundary line of the orange segments in a directional manner to achieve the purpose of directional segmentation; however, the citrus segmentation method used is still to perform an impact and cutting operation on the boundary line of the orange segments by high-pressure water. Due to the impact of water pressure, this operation method is not only easy to impact and rotate the citrus that has not been segmented, but also to break the protective film of the orange segments, resulting in juice loss in the segmented orange segments; therefore, a segmenting device that can solve the above problems is proposed.

After the distance is increased, the two limit plates 27 can play a role in tensioning and adjusting the dividing line 25.

[0043] Working principle: In this embodiment, the present invention also proposes a method for using the fruit segmenting device, comprising the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: First, each electrical appliance in the device is electrically connected to an external control device through a wire, then the peeled citrus fruits are placed on multiple lower trays 8 at the feeding end of the conveyor belt 4, and the insertion rod 9 is inserted into the hollow part in the middle of the citrus fruits, then the servo motor is started to drive the conveyor roller 3 to rotate, and then the conveyor belt 4 is driven to rotate, and the citrus fruits placed on the lower trays 8 are transported into the processing box 1 through the rotating conveyor belt 4;

[0045] Step 2: After the two conveyor belts 4 simultaneously convey the citrus fruits on the lower tray 8 into the processing box 1, the two electric push cylinders 14 are simultaneously started to push the fixed shell to descend. When the laser scanner on the peripheral side of the fixed shell scans that the citrus fruits on the conveyor belt 4 move to the bottom of the pressing mechanism, not only can the number of petals of the citrus fruits be automatically scanned and identified, but also the number of petals of the citrus fruits can be uploaded to the external control device. Then the external control device controls the conveyor belt 4 to stop conveying. When the electric push cylinder 14 pushes the fixed shell to descend, the upper pressure plate 18 in the pressing mechanism is pressed on the top of the citrus fruits. Through the cooperation of the unloading spring and the buffer rod 17, it can avoid the situation where the upper pressure plate 18 causes overpressure on the citrus fruits.

[0046] Step 3, when the upper pressing plate 18 has finished pressing the citrus fruits on the lower tray 8, the external control device will first start the micro motor 15 to drive the upper pressing plate 18 to make a micro-rotation adjustment so that the gap between the tangerine segments is toward the dividing line 25, and then start the longitudinal linear motor 19 to drive the vertical linear motor 20 to make a preliminary forward adjustment toward the conveying box 2, so that the dividing line 25 can be initially moved toward the citrus fruits;

[0047] Step 4, then start the vertical linear motor 20 to drive the mounting plate 21 to perform lifting and lowering adjustment, so as to align the middle section of the dividing line 25 with the citrus. After completing the height adjustment of the dividing line 25, start the electric push rod 29 to push the extension rod 23 out of the mounting tube 22. When the extension rod 23 moves outward, it will drive the tightened dividing line 25 to move toward the citrus, and then the citrus is segmented by the moving dividing line 25. Then start the electric push rod 29 to drive the extension rod 23 to move back, drive the dividing line 25 to move back and reset, and then start the micro motor 15 again to continue to drive the upper pressure plate 18 to perform the citrus segment switching operation, and convert the next segment seam on the citrus to the dividing line 25, and then start the electric push rod 29 again to push the extension rod 23 again, so that the dividing line 25 performs the line cutting type segmentation operation on the citrus again, and then repeat this operation until the citrus is fully segmented, and in the process of segmenting the citrus, the protective film of the citrus segment will not be damaged;

[0048] Step five, when the citrus segments on this lower tray 8 are completed, the pressing mechanism and the outrigger rod 23 are started to drive the dividing line 25 to reset, and then the external control device automatically drives the servo motor to drive the conveying roller 3, so that the conveyor belt 4 continues to drive the next group of lower trays 8 to move toward the bottom of the upper pressing plate 18, and the segmented citrus segments will fall on the unloading inclined plate 12 and slide along the unloading inclined plate 12 to the mesh belt conveyor 13, and then the citrus segments are transported out of the processing box 1 by the conveyor mesh belt, and the citrus segments are transported to the guide frame plate 10.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
