Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of fruit and vegetable processing equipment, in particular to pepper processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] The fruit of bell pepper (also known as lantern pepper) is relatively large, not spicy but slightly sweet or slightly peppery, and can be eaten as a vegetable. Because of its bright green color, the newly cultivated varieties also have five colors such as red, yellow, and purple. Therefore, it can not only be a dish in itself, but also widely used as a side dish. The bell pepper is rich in antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and carotenoids, which can remove free radicals, have the effect of delaying aging, prevent cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other diseases, and can also improve immunity. The stalk of the bell pepper is upright or drooping, the fruit is large, nearly spherical, cylindrical or oblate, with many longitudinal grooves, truncated or slightly sunken at the top, truncated at the base and often slightly concave inward, and the center of the fruit is rich in white bell pepper seeds. After removing the stalk seeds and cutting into pieces, the bell pepper can be made into various by-products such as quick-frozen bell peppers, dried bell peppers, and bell pepper sauce. The seeds of green peppers are attached to the internal placenta, and the placenta is connected to the fruit stalk. The processing of green peppers mainly relies on manual removal of the fruit stalk together with the placenta. Due to the mechanized processing, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the processing efficiency is low, and the labor cost is high, which leads to an increase in the processing cost of green peppers.

Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0015] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a pepper processing device includes a feeding mechanism 100, a seed removing mechanism 200 and a pulp cutting mechanism 300; the feeding mechanism 100 includes a chain conveyor 110, and the chain conveyor 110 is provided with a plurality of conveying troughs 111 for conveying the peppers one by one along its running direction; the seed removing mechanism includes a seed removing claw 210 that can be raised and lowered and rotated and is located above the discharge end of the chain conveyor for grabbing the pepper fetus. When the conveying trough of the present invention conveys the vegetable pepper to the bottom of the seed removing claw 210, the seed removing claw 210 moves downward and is inserted from the top of the vegetable pepper. The fruit stalk and the placenta of the vegetable pepper are located in the middle of the seed removing claw 210. Then the seed removing claw 210 rotates to unscrew the placenta from the vegetable pepper. When the seed removing claw 210 rises, the placenta together with the fruit stalk is taken out. Then the pulp cutting mechanism 300 cuts the pulp of the vegetable pepper. The present invention realizes mechanized processing of vegetable peppers. The overall structure is reasonable and simple, which can effectively improve processing efficiency, save time and labor, and reduce labor costs and labor intensity.

[0017] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 100 also includes a spiral vibration disk 120. The discharge end of the spiral vibration disk 120 is provided with a return port 121 for allowing the fallen peppers to fall back into the spiral vibration disk. A pair of clamping conveyor belts 130 for clamping the upright pepper stalks are provided above the discharge end of the spiral vibration disk. The feed end of the clamping conveyor belt is provided with a limiting channel 140 for allowing the upright pepper stalks to enter therein. The discharge end of the clamping conveyor belt is located above the feed end of the chain conveyor. The spiral vibrating plate 120 can be used to automatically load the peppers. When the spiral vibrating plate 120 vibrates, the peppers are transported to the discharge end. When the peppers are in an upright state, their stems can enter between the two clamping conveyor belts 130 through the limiting channel 140. The two clamping conveyor belts 130 cooperate to clamp the stems and transport the peppers forward at the same time. When the peppers reach the end, they automatically fall into the conveying trough. If the peppers are in a fallen state when they reach the discharge end of the spiral vibrating plate, they fall back into the spiral vibrating plate and participate in the vibration conveying again. The chain conveyor 110 adopts an intermittent motion mode, and each movement pushes a conveying trough forward.

[0018] A gap smaller than the diameter of the pepper stalk is left between the two clamping conveyor belts 130, and in order to ensure the stability of the width of the gap, a support plate 131 is provided on the inner side of the working surface of the clamping conveyor belt 130 to prevent the pepper from falling due to inward deformation of the working surface of the conveyor belt.

[0019] In the specific implementation process, in order to simplify the equipment structure, the green peppers can also be placed one by one in the conveying trough 111 of the chain conveyor 110 manually.

[0020] In this embodiment, the limiting channel is formed between two limiting baffles, and the two limiting baffles are bent outward at one end away from the clamping conveyor belt to form a V-shaped entrance; the interior of the conveying trough is in the shape of an inverted frustum that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.

[0021] In this embodiment, the seed picking mechanism 200 also includes a fixed seat 220 located above the seed picking claw, and a hollow rotating shaft 221 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 220. A first motor for driving the hollow rotating shaft 221 to rotate is provided on the side of the fixed seat 220. A push-pull rod 211 is connected to the top of the seed picking claw, and the push-pull rod 211 passes through the middle of the hollow rotating shaft. The push-pull rod can slide up and down relative to the hollow rotating shaft and rotate synchronously with the hollow rotating shaft; the first motor drives the hollow rotating shaft to rotate through a driving gear and a driven gear, and the driven gear is mounted on the hollow rotating shaft. The cross-section of the push-pull rod is rectangular, and the cross-section of the inner hole of the hollow rotating shaft 221 is also rectangular, so that when the hollow rotating shaft 221 rotates, it can drive the push-pull rod to rotate synchronously; at the same time, the push-pull rod can slide up and down relative to the hollow rotating shaft 221, thereby driving the seed picking claw to rise and fall.

[0022] In this embodiment, a flywheel 230 driven to rotate by a second motor is provided above the fixed seat, a connecting rod 240 is provided between the push-pull rod and the flywheel, the upper end of the connecting rod is hinged to the edge of the flywheel, the lower end of the connecting rod is hinged to a rotary joint 250, and the upper end of the push-pull rod is rotatably connected to the rotary joint. The seed-picking claw uses the rotation of the flywheel to control the lifting and lowering, and the rotation structure is used to prevent the rotation of the push-pull rod from being transmitted to the connecting rod; a sensing switch A located beside the chain conveyor is provided below the seed-picking claw, and the sensing switch A is used to sense whether the pepper is in place; at the same time, two sensing switches B and C are provided to sense the rising and falling positions of the seed-picking claw; when the sensing switch A senses that the pepper is in place, the controller controls the first motor to work so that the seed-picking claw descends and inserts from the top of the pepper, and after the sensing switch C senses that the seed-picking claw has descended to the position, the first motor is controlled to work to unscrew the seed-picking claw from the seat of the pepper, and then the seed-picking claw rises.

[0023] In this embodiment, a material-dispensing arm 260 is provided on the side of the seed-picking claw to remove the placenta caught by the seed-picking claw by swinging when the seed-picking claw rises, and the material-dispensing arm is driven to swing by the cylinder 280; a swingable material receiving chute 270 for receiving the placenta is also provided on the side of the seed-picking claw, and a discarding bucket 600 is provided below the material receiving chute, and the material receiving chute is driven to swing by the rotating cylinder 290. Since the volume of the material receiving chute 270 is small, in order to ensure that the material can accurately fall into the discarding bucket, a larger material guide inclined plate is provided above the discarding bucket. After the induction switch B senses that the seed-picking claw has risen to its position, it controls the cylinder 280 and the rotating cylinder 290 to work, and the material-dispensing arm 260 removes the placenta on the seed-picking claw and drops it on the material receiving chute, and then the cylinder 280 and the rotating cylinder 290 are reset.

[0024] In this embodiment, a cabinet 500 is also included, and the seed removal mechanism 200 is arranged in the cabinet 500; the chain conveyor 110 and the conveyor 310 extend into the cabinet; the lower end of the material diverting arm 260 is hinged in the cabinet, and its hinged part is fixedly connected to a crank arm, the telescopic rod of the cylinder is hinged to the crank arm, and the cylinder body of the cylinder is also hinged in the cabinet; the rotating cylinder 290 is located above the material receiving chute, and the material receiving chute is connected to the turntable of the rotating cylinder 290 through a bracket.

[0025] In this embodiment, the pulp cutting mechanism 300 includes a conveyor 310, the feed end of the conveyor is located below the discharge end of the chain conveyor; a plurality of spaced positioning rollers A320, longitudinal cutting rollers 330, positioning rollers B340 and transverse cutting gates 350 are sequentially arranged above the conveyor along the conveying direction, and the distance between the positioning rollers A and the conveying surface of the conveyor decreases one by one along the conveying direction; a finished product frame 400 is arranged below the discharge end of the conveyor. After the seeds are removed, the pepper is flattened by the positioning roller A320, enters the longitudinal cutting roller 330 for longitudinal cutting, and then is squeezed again by the positioning roller B340, enters the transverse cutting gate 350 for transverse cutting, and the cut pepper falls into the finished product frame. The longitudinal cutting roller 330 is composed of a rotating shaft and a plurality of knife discs on the rotating shaft, and is controlled to rotate by a motor to perform longitudinal cutting; and the transverse cutting gate 350 can be driven by a cylinder to lift and lower for transverse cutting, or can be controlled by a motor to lift and lower through a crank slider mechanism.

[0026] Working process: the washed peppers are poured into the spiral vibrating plate, which conveys the peppers one by one to the discharge end of the spiral vibrating plate. When the peppers are in an upright state, their stems can enter between the two clamping conveyor belts through the limiting channel. The two clamping conveyor belts cooperate to clamp the stems and convey the peppers forward at the same time. When the peppers reach the end, they automatically fall into the conveying trough. If the peppers are in a fallen state when they reach the discharge end of the spiral vibrating plate, they fall back into the spiral vibrating plate and participate in the vibration conveying again. The conveying trough of the chain conveyor conveys the peppers to the bottom of the seed claws. The flywheel rotates half a circle to make the seed claws descend and insert from the top of the peppers. Then, when the first motor is controlled to work, the seed claws unscrew the seat of the peppers. Then, the flywheel rotates half a circle again to make the seed claws rise. After the seed claws rise to the right position, the air cylinder and the rotary cylinder are controlled to work. The material-pickup arm pushes the seat on the seed claws off and drops it on the material receiving chute, and then the air cylinder and the rotary cylinder are reset. The chain conveyor transports the pulp to the conveyor, where it is flattened, cut longitudinally and crosswise, and finally enters the finished product frame.
