Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to fruit processing, in particular to a production and processing technology and a processing device for ready-to-eat fresh apples in a space station. Background Art

[0002] As is known, apples eaten by astronauts in the space station must be fresh, clean and sterile, that is, the raw materials must be freshly picked fruits or fruits stored in a controlled atmosphere storage. The oxygen index of the controlled atmosphere storage is: 2.0-4.0%, the carbon dioxide index is 0.5-1.2%, the temperature index is 0--1℃, and the humidity index is: 85-95%. Controlled atmosphere storage can effectively ensure the hardness, sugar content and freshness, and ensure the normal temperature shelf life of the space station.

[0003] The packaging of apples needs to be done in a sterile packaging room. The packaging boxes are required to be made of food-grade polyethylene hollow board materials and be disinfected with ozone + ultraviolet rays. After disinfection, they need to be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized before the third-party microbial testing meets the requirements. The specific process flow is as follows: Apples are shipped out of the warehouse - online cleaning and disinfection - blow dried - selected and weighed - temporarily stored in cold storage - rinsed, blow dried - secondary disinfection - bagging - packing and assembly - inspection - shipment - transportation.

[0004] When the apples are cleaned and disinfected online, it is necessary to remove the impurities and pesticide residues attached to the surface of each apple. For example, the announcement number is CN108283318B, the announcement date is April 21, 2020, and the name is "An Apple Cleaning Device", which includes a workbench, on which a storage barrel, a cleaning mechanism and a feeding mechanism are arranged horizontally in sequence. The cleaning mechanism includes two rotating shafts and a motor driving the rotating shafts, and conveyor belts are provided at both ends of the rotating shafts. A number of cleaning rollers are provided between the two rotating shafts. The conveyor belts are evenly distributed with support rods perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belts. A baffle is connected between the upper ends of the two opposing support rods on the two conveyor belts, and a gap is provided between the baffle and the conveyor belt. A water spray head is provided above the cleaning roller, and a guide plate is provided between the cleaning roller and the conveyor belt below. The end of the guide plate close to the storage barrel is located between the rotating shaft and the storage barrel. There is a gap between the guide plate and the cleaning roller for apples to pass through, and a water tank is provided below the conveyor belt; the feeding mechanism is located at the discharge end of the cleaning structure, and a clear water tank is provided at the discharge end of the feeding mechanism. This solution realizes automatic screening and cleaning of apples.

[0005] The deficiency of the prior art is that when washing freshly picked apples, impurities and pesticide residues on the surface of the apples are cleaned by flushing with water and a cleaning roller with bristles. During the washing process, the apples are not fixed, so it is difficult to accurately brush each part. In addition, the stalks and calyx of the apples are concave inward, and these concave parts are more difficult to be accurately brushed. In this way, it is difficult to clean the impurities and pesticide residues on the stalks and calyx. For apples to be eaten on the space station, this cleaning method is obviously defective. Summary of the invention

During the forward rotation stroke of the seat body, the gears are meshed with the first racks, and each group of supporting rollers rotates in the same direction to drive the apples to flip in the opposite direction.

[0015] As mentioned above, the second driving member also includes an extrusion block, which is arranged on a group of first racks in the middle position among the multiple groups of first racks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5 The present invention is further described in detail.

[0031] An embodiment provided by the present invention relates to a production and processing device for ready-to-eat fresh apples in a space station, comprising a workbench 1 and a cleaning device arranged on the workbench 1, the cleaning device comprising: a turning assembly, which comprises a seat body 2 and a first driving member that drives the seat body 2 to rotate on the workbench 1, a plurality of groups of supporting rollers 3 are arranged circumferentially on the seat body 2, each group of supporting rollers 3 is two in number, and the apples are fixed by clamping; a second driving member that drives each group of supporting rollers 3 to rotate is provided on the workbench 1; under the drive of the second driving member, each group of supporting rollers 3 has two movement modes: a first movement mode, each group of supporting rollers 3 rotates in the same direction, and utilizes friction to drive the apples to flip in the opposite direction; a second movement mode, each group of supporting rollers 3 moves axially, and utilizes friction to rub the apples to flip; a cleaning assembly, after each flipping of the apples, the cleaning assembly brushes the apples.

[0032] Specifically, the workbench 1 is connected to an immersion tank containing 10% sodium hypochlorite solution mixed with 0.02% disinfectant in front, and is connected to a device for drying the washed apples in the back, forming an assembly line for processing apples, that is, the cleaning device scrubs the apples soaked in the disinfectant to remove impurities and pesticide residues on the surface of the apples. However, when the apples are washed, the impurities and pesticide residues on the surface of the apples are cleaned by flushing with water and a cleaning roller with bristles. During the cleaning process, the apples are not fixed, so it is difficult to accurately scrub each part, and the fruit stalks and calyx of the apples are concave inward, and these concave parts are more difficult to be accurately scrubbed. In this way, it is difficult to clean the impurities and pesticide residues at the fruit stalks and calyx. For the apples that are ready to be eaten in the space station, this cleaning method is obviously defective.

[0033] Therefore, based on the above problems, in this embodiment, each apple is scrubbed in different areas. When all areas are scrubbed, the cleaning effect of the apples can be effectively improved. Since the placement of the apples is random when scrubbing each apple, for ease of understanding, the first straight line and the second straight line that are perpendicular to each other and pass through their respective center points are respectively the central axis. The first straight line is used as the central axis, and the circumference is divided into three areas, which are named the first area, the second area and the third area respectively. The second straight line is used as the central axis, and the circumference is divided into three areas, which are named the fourth area, the fifth area and the sixth area respectively. When the apples are initially placed, the area corresponding to the apple and the cleaning component is the first area. Then, one apple needs to be completely scrubbed. When the first straight line is the central axis, it needs to be flipped twice, and when the second straight line is the central axis, it also needs to be flipped twice. Because the number of area allocations with different central axes is an odd number, the positions of the first straight line and the second straight line are changed. When the central axis switches from the first straight line to the second straight line, the apple needs to be rubbed once first, and the second straight line is used as the central axis at this time, and then flipped again, and the first straight line is used as the central axis at this time. Correspondingly, the number of multiple groups of supporting rollers 3 on the flipping assembly is set to eight groups, and the seat body 2 is divided into a loading area 20 for apples to be washed, a flipping area 21 for apples to be washed, and a unloading area 22 for apples after washing (the loading area 20, the flipping area 21 and the unloading area 22 are divided by dotted lines, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 When the apples are loaded onto the loadboard 20 and the loadboard 21 is moved, the loadboard 20 is moved back and forth, and the loadboard 20 is moved to the loadboard 21. As shown in FIG, the first driving member drives the seat body 2 to rotate intermittently. During the rotation process, each group of supporting rollers 3 in the loading area 20 completes the clamping of the apples when entering the flipping area 21, that is, the distance between each group of supporting rollers 3 can be elastically adjusted, and then the apples are pressed between each group of two supporting rollers 3 by external force. During the movement of each group of supporting rollers 3 in the flipping area 21, the second driving member drives each group of supporting rollers 3 to move to realize the flipping of the apples. When each group of supporting rollers 3 in the flipping area 21 enters the unloading area 22, the apples can be removed from between each group of two supporting rollers 3 by external force. In this way, during the intermittent rotation of the seat body 2, the loading of the apples to be washed, the flipping of the apples to be washed and the unloading of the washed apples can be completed. The first driving member can be a grooved wheel mechanism, and the second driving member is to drive the supporting rollers 3 to rotate and move axially, such as a combination of a motor and a cylinder. These are all prior arts and are not described in detail.

[0034] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that by providing a flipping component, the apples can be flipped at different angles during the cleaning process of the apples, so that every part of the apples can be cleaned by the cleaning component, which can more effectively improve the cleaning effect of the apples.

[0035] Preferably, the surface of the supporting roller 3 is provided with a rubber sleeve, and based on the elastic deformation of the rubber sleeve, the two supporting rollers 3 in each group clamp the apples to be cleaned; specifically, the rubber sleeve can undergo elastic deformation after being squeezed by an external force, and a good friction effect can be formed between the rubber sleeve and the apple skin, so that when the apple is pressed between the two supporting rollers 3 in each group by an external force, the apple can be clamped by utilizing the resilience of the two rubber sleeves, and in the process of the two supporting rollers 3 rotating in the same direction, one supporting roller 3 applies a downward squeezing force to the apple, and the other supporting roller 3 applies an upward squeezing force to the apple, so that the apple can rotate relative to the supporting roller 3 while the position of the apple basically does not change, thereby realizing the turning of the apple, and when the second driving member drives one of the supporting rollers 3 in each group to move axially, an axial thrust can be given to the apple so that the apple is rubbed.

[0036] Preferably, the first driving member includes a driving source and an intermittent transmission mechanism arranged on the workbench 1, a turntable 4 is provided at the power output end of the intermittent transmission mechanism, a plurality of levers 5 are circumferentially provided at the edge of the turntable 4, the supporting roller 3 is arranged to slide along its own axial direction on the seat body 2, and a first elastic member 6 is provided between the supporting roller 3 and the seat body 2 in the sliding direction; in the forward rotation stroke driven by the turntable 4 and the plurality of levers 5, the seat body 2 moves circumferentially, and each group of supporting rollers 3 drives the apples to turn over based on the driving action of the second driving member; in the reverse rotation stroke driven by the turntable 4 and the plurality of levers 5, the plurality of levers 5 intermittently drive each supporting roller 3 to move axially.

[0037] Specifically, the driving source drives the turntable 4 to move circumferentially through an intermittent transmission mechanism, wherein the driving source can be a motor, and the intermittent transmission mechanism is a grooved wheel mechanism. The turntable 4 is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the grooved wheel mechanism. The rotation of the turntable 4 can drive multiple circumferentially arranged levers 5 to rotate together. When it is necessary to drive each group of supporting rollers 3 to intermittently move into different areas, the turntable 4 is driven to rotate in the positive direction (such as clockwise rotation). At this time, the lever 5 will move the supporting rollers 3 in similar positions together. When the turntable 4 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction (such as counterclockwise rotation), the lever 5 will squeeze the end of the supporting roller 3 as the turntable 4 moves in the reverse direction, and the squeezed supporting roller 3 will move along its own axial direction. In this way, after each apple is turned over, the turntable 4 is driven to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the multiple levers 5 will sequentially move each supporting roller 3 along its own axial direction, and then reset under the action of the rebound force of the first elastic member 6. In this way, the two supporting rollers 3 in each group will rub the apple, so that a relative movement in the circumferential direction is formed between the apple and the cleaning component, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect, especially for the stem depression and calyx depression of the apple.

[0038] In the circumferential direction, one side of the lever 5 is a plane 50, and the other side is a wedge-shaped surface 51. When the lever 5 and the supporting roller 3 rotate in the forward direction, the plane 50 abuts against the supporting roller 3, and the supporting roller 3 is pushed by the plane 50 to follow the rotation. When rotating in the reverse direction, the wedge-shaped surface 51 forms a wedge-shaped fit with the end of the supporting roller 3, so that the supporting roller 3 is squeezed in the axial direction.

[0039] Preferably, two baffles 7 are arranged on each group of the supporting rollers 3, and the supporting rollers 3 are in movable contact with the baffles 7. The portion between the two baffles 7 is used to place apples, and each baffle 7 is fixedly connected to the seat body 2. Specifically, in the aforementioned embodiment, when the turntable 4 drives the multiple levers 5 to rotate in the opposite direction, the levers 5 will squeeze each supporting roller 3 to move axially, and then there will be a gap between the axial ends of the supporting rollers 3 and the seat body 2. The baffles 7 can prevent the apples from entering the gap and being squeezed and damaged.

[0040] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a cover plate 8 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, and a plurality of transmission plates 9 are circumferentially arranged on the cover plate 8, each transmission plate 9 is slidably arranged along the axial direction of the turntable 4 on the cover plate 8, and a brush 10 is provided on the transmission plate 9 corresponding to the position when the second driving member drives each group of supporting rollers 3 to move; the transmission plate 9 drives the brush 10 to contact the apple based on the force of the reverse rotation of the turntable 4 driven by the intermittent transmission mechanism.

[0041] Specifically, in the aforementioned embodiment, the cleaning component can be an active type. In the present embodiment, a passive type is further provided, that is, a circular plate 11 fixedly connected to each transmission plate 9 is movably provided on the power output shaft of the groove wheel mechanism, and a second elastic member 12 is provided between the circular plate 11 and the cover plate 8. A threaded section 13 is provided on the power output shaft of the groove wheel mechanism, and the second elastic member 12 is sleeved outside the threaded section 13. The circular plate 11 and the threaded section 13 can be screwed together. When the apples are not cleaned, the elastic force of the second elastic member 12 makes the circular plate 11 and the threaded section 13 tend to be screwed together. When the turntable 4 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, the power output shaft of the groove wheel mechanism rotates to form a relative rotation with the circular plate 11. Under the elastic force of the second elastic member 12, the circular plate 11 is screwed together with the threaded section 13, and based on the thread action, the circular plate 11 will drive the transmission plate 9 to move in a direction close to the apple, so that the brush 10 contacts the apple. In this moving direction, the circular plate When 11 is disengaged from the threaded segment 13, the elastic force of the second elastic member 12 makes the circular plate 11 tend to move in the opposite direction and be screwed together with the threaded segment 13 again. In this way, when the turntable 4 is driven to rotate forward, the power output shaft of the groove wheel mechanism rotates forward, and under the elastic force of the second elastic member 12, the threaded segment 13 is screwed together with the circular plate 11, and under the action of the thread, the circular plate 11 moves back to the initial position (the position when the apples are not cleaned) in the direction away from the apples. At this time, the brush 10 and the apples will also move away from each other. In this way, the forward rotation of the groove wheel mechanism can drive each group of supporting rollers 3 to enter different areas, and the reverse rotation of the groove wheel mechanism can drive the supporting rollers 3 to move axially, and drive the brush 10 to contact the apples. The axial movement of the supporting rollers 3 rubs the apples, so that the apples and the brush 10 form a rotating brushing action, wherein the brush 10 is provided with a nozzle, and the nozzle is externally connected to a water pipe. When the brush 10 brushes the apples, the nozzle sprays cleaning liquid to the apples.

[0042] Preferably, the second driving member includes a gear 14 provided at the end of each supporting roller 3 and a plurality of groups of first racks 15 arranged circumferentially on the workbench 1, each group of first racks 15 has two in number, and in the circumferential direction, the distance between each group of first racks 15 is equal to the distance between each group of supporting rollers 3, and the positions of the two gears 14 on each group of supporting rollers 3 are staggered in the radial direction of the turntable 4, and in the forward rotation stroke of the seat body 2, the gear 14 is meshed with the first rack 15, and each group of supporting rollers 3 rotates in the same direction. The rotation drives the apples to flip in the opposite direction; the extrusion block 16 is also included, and the extrusion block 16 is arranged on a group of first racks 15 in the middle position among the multiple groups of first racks 15. When each group of supporting rollers 3 and the extrusion block 16 form a mutual extrusion action, one supporting roller 3 in each group of supporting rollers 3 moves axially to rub the apples to flip; each group of supporting rollers 3 first rubs the apples to flip during the travel of passing through a group of first racks 15 in the middle position among the multiple groups of first racks 15, and then drives the apples to flip in the opposite direction.

[0043] Specifically, in the flipping area 21, a group of first racks 15 are arranged at the position between two adjacent brushes 10. When each group of supporting rollers 3 passes through this position, the gear 14 on each supporting roller 3 will mesh with the first rack 15 at the corresponding position. The gear 14 drives the supporting rollers 3 connected thereto to rotate, thereby flipping the apples. In addition, the distance between the two first racks 15 of each group is equal to the distance between each group of supporting rollers 3, thereby ensuring that the two gears 14 corresponding to each group of two supporting rollers 3 can mesh with the corresponding first racks 15 at the same time, so that the two supporting rollers 3 rotate in the same direction at the same time, and the packaged apples are flipped normally. According to the description in the aforementioned embodiment, it can be known that In order to divide each apple into six areas, there is a step in the middle that requires rubbing the apple first and then rolling it in the opposite direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, a squeezing block 16 is provided on a group of first racks 15 in the middle position among the multiple groups of first racks 15. The squeezing block 16 and the supporting roller 3 form a squeezing action through a wedge-shaped fit. When each group of supporting rollers 3 passes through this area, one of the supporting rollers 3 contacts the squeezing block 16, and the squeezing block 16 contacts the supporting roller 3 first, so that the supporting roller 3 moves axially first to rub the apple, and then the corresponding gear 14 meshes with the first rack 15 to drive the apple to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the six areas of the apple can be scrubbed separately.

[0044] In a further embodiment, the base body 2 is divided into a loading area 20, a turning area 21 and a unloading area 22, and the apples are clamped by the two supporting rollers 3 of each group during the turning process. Therefore, in order to facilitate automatic clamping and automatic unclamping, in this embodiment, two transmission plates 9 corresponding to the loading area 20 and the unloading area 22 are provided with openings for taking and placing apples, and each transmission plate 9 is provided with two second racks 17 at the end close to the gear 14. The two second racks 17 correspond to the two gears 14 corresponding to each group of supporting rollers 3, that is, in the process of each transmission plate 9 moving in the direction close to the apples, the two second racks 17 will respectively mesh with the corresponding gears 14 and drive the gears 14 to rotate, so that each group of two supporting rollers 3 rotates in relative directions. The rotation of the two supporting rollers 3 causes the clamped apples to move upward close to the brush 10. In order to realize automatic clamping of the apples, the apples are placed on the brush 10 when the brush 10 is brushing the apples. On a group of supporting rollers 3 located in the loading area 20, after the apples in the turning area 21 are brushed once, that is, in the process of the brush 10 moving away from the apples, the group of supporting rollers 3 located in the loading area 20 rotates relatively under the action of the two second racks 17 and the two gears 14, so that the apples are driven into and clamped between a group of two supporting rollers 3, and the downward movement distance of the two second racks 17 corresponding to the brush 10 should be smaller than the downward movement distance of the two second racks 17 in the loading area 20, so that in the process of the brush 10 moving in the direction approaching the apples, the apples between each group of supporting rollers 3 therein are driven to move upward but will not escape from the clamping of the two supporting rollers 3, and the corresponding downward movement distance of the two second racks 17 in the unloading area 22 should be the same as the downward movement distance of the two second racks 17 in the loading area 20, so that when the group of supporting rollers 3 in the unloading area 22 rotates relatively, the clamping of the apples can be completely removed and the apples can be pushed upward.

[0045] Another embodiment provided by the present invention also relates to a production and processing technology of fresh apples ready for consumption in a space station, wherein the method of processing apples by the above-mentioned production and processing device of fresh apples ready for consumption in a space station comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: loading, when the first driving member drives the base body 2 to rotate forward, the apples to be cleaned are sequentially put onto each set of conveying rollers;

[0047] Step 2: Cleaning: The turning component turns the apples multiple times at different angles, and after each turning, the cleaning component cleans the apples;

[0048] Step three, unloading, when the first driving member drives the seat body 2 to rotate forward, the cleaned apples are taken off from each group of conveying rollers in turn.

[0049] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
