Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field, and in particular to an automatic cutting device for three-flowered tangerine peel. Background Art

[0002] Three-flower tangerine peel occupies an important position in people's daily diet. In terms of medicinal use, three-flower tangerine peel has the effects of reducing phlegm and relieving cough, helping digestion, and lowering blood pressure, so it frequently appears in medicinal food recipes. As more and more people pay attention to three-flower tangerine peel, the sales volume of tangerine peel is increasing, and the planting volume of citrus is also increasing.

[0003] At present, the production of tangerine peel is mainly based on small workshops, which are basically peeled by hand, with low production efficiency. When tangerine peel is produced in large quantities, a large amount of labor is required. If citrus is not handled in time, it is likely to rot and cause economic losses; and there is no unified hygiene standard in the manual peeling process. In the era of automation and intelligence, in order to improve productivity and efficiency, the input of manpower is not enough to keep up with the pace of development, so it is necessary to design mechanical equipment to replace and reduce the number of ordinary workers.

[0025] Like reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0026] Example

[0027] A three-flower tangerine peel automatic cutting device, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0028] The base frame 14 has a cutting assembly and a moving assembly at both ends thereof. The moving assembly applies pressure to the citrus on the cutting assembly through a linkage assembly to complete the cutting of the tangerine peel.

[0029] Cutting components such as Figure 2As shown, it includes three groups of knife support columns 8 arranged around, and the adjacent knife support columns 8 are 120 degrees apart. The top of the knife support column 8 is connected to the knife holder 7 through a sliding rod 15, and the knife holder 7 is detachably provided with a blade.

[0030] A spring fixed base 9 is arranged behind the tool rest support column 8, and the spring fixed base 9 is connected to the sliding rod 15 by a spring. The motion trajectory and the force intensity of the tool rest 7 are controlled by the spring limit.

[0031] The knife holder 7 is provided with 2×2 knife holes, so that the citrus peel is peeled twice, thick and thin, respectively, and the citrus peel can be fully cut into the style of three-flowered tangerine peel. The knife holes are designed in a standardized manner, and can be easily replaced at any time if damaged.

[0032] A discharge port 10 is provided at the center of the tool holder support column 8, a deceleration net 11 is fixedly provided on the discharge port 10, a storage box 12 is provided below the discharge port 10, and the storage box 12 is detachably mounted at the bottom of the base frame 14 in an inlaid form, and small holes are provided below the storage box 12 to increase ventilation while ensuring dryness.

[0033] An arc-shaped slide groove 13 is provided at the top of the tool holder support column 8. The sliding rod 15 is L-shaped, including an active rod 151 connected to the tool holder 7 and a driven rod 152 located in the slide groove 13. The driven rod 152 is spring-connected to the spring fixed base 9.

[0034] In the initial state of the cutting assembly, the elastic force of the spring fixes the driven rod 152 at the lowest end of the slide slot 801. At this time, the knife holder 7 is at the highest end and the three knife holders 7 remain horizontal. As the linkage assembly applies pressure to the citrus, the knife holder 7 and the blade also move downward, and the sliding rod 15 slides along the slide slot 801, so that the three sets of blades move downward and gather toward the center, achieving the peeling and cutting of the citrus surface. During the cutting process, the cutting angle will slightly tilt as the size and shape of the citrus changes, and a secondary processing of deep first and shallow later is performed using blades that are connected up and down but use different position angles, so that the citrus skin can be fully cut into a three-flowered skin style.

[0035] After the citrus is cut, it falls from the discharge port 10, and the spring-belt sliding rod 15 is reset to the initial state to prepare for the next cutting.

[0036] The motion assembly includes a track 2 longitudinally arranged on a base frame 14, and a storage slot 20 is provided at the top of the track 2. A slider 17 is provided on the track 2, and the track 2 is slidably connected to the slider 17. Cylindrical pin fixing holes 18 are equidistantly arranged on the track 2, and the cylindrical pin fixing holes 18 and the slider 17 are fixed by cylindrical pins, and the cylindrical pin fixing holes 18 and the cylindrical pins are fixed by a single cylindrical pin fixer 19.

[0037] A lower limit groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the track 2 to limit the farthest moving path of the slider 17 as a safety measure. The slider 17 is connected to the linkage assembly, and the height of the linkage assembly is adjusted by the slider 17.

[0038] The linkage assembly includes a connecting plate 3 and a pneumatic push rod 5. A fixed handle 4 and a pneumatic push rod 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the end of the connecting plate 3. The fixed handle 4 is used for auxiliary fixation when adjusting the height of the linkage assembly. The pneumatic push rod 5 is connected to a rubber shock-absorbing head 6, and the downward pressure and reset of the rubber shock-absorbing head 6 are controlled by the extension and contraction of the pneumatic push rod 5.

[0039] The pneumatic push rod 5 is common knowledge in the art, and its working principle is a known technology. The model is selected according to the actual use, so the control method and connection method of the pneumatic push rod 5 will not be explained in detail.

[0040] A counter 1 is arranged at the top of the track 2. A three-digit dial is arranged in the counter 1 for counting the citrus fruits. As the pneumatic push rod 5 completes a complete stroke, the number increases by one.

[0041] The counter 1 is common knowledge in the art, and its working principle is a known technology. The model is selected according to the actual use, so the control method and connection method of the counter 1 will not be explained in detail.

[0042] During the use of the present invention, the storage box 12 is placed, the height of the linkage assembly is adjusted first, and then the cutting assembly is checked to see if it is in the initial state. After the inspection is completed, the citrus cutting is started; the citrus is placed in the center of the tool holder 7, and the pneumatic push rod 5 is started. The pneumatic push rod 5 drives the rubber shock-absorbing head 6 to move downward to apply pressure to the citrus. As the pneumatic push rod 5 gradually moves downward, the tool holder 7 is pushed to move downward gradually, and the driven rod 152 gradually moves upward along the slide groove 13, while driving the tool holder 7 to move inward. The three groups of tool holders 7 operate independently to perform cutting that conforms to the shape of the citrus; after the overall cutting of the citrus is completed, it falls into the storage box 12 from the discharge port 10 through the deceleration net 11; the pneumatic push rod 5 is reset, and the counter completes one count at the same time.

[0043] The invention discloses an automatic cutting device for three-flowered tangerine peel, which realizes the cutting of three-flowered tangerine peel in a pattern conforming to the shape of citrus through the linkage of a cutting component and a linkage component, and does not require human participation during the cutting process, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and avoiding pollution to the citrus.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the present invention with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
