Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wax apple peeling, and in particular to wax apple fruit processing equipment and a method. Background Art

[0002] In the existing processing of wax apples, some of them need to be peeled, such as making wax apple sauce: because the wax apple skin may affect the texture of the sauce, making it have a rough taste. Moreover, after peeling, the color and flavor of the wax apple sauce can be better controlled, making the pure taste of the wax apple flesh more prominent; for example, in the processing of wax apple canned food, the peeled wax apple flesh is more crystal clear in the can, which can improve the grade of the product. At the same time, peeling can also avoid the bitter taste that may be brought by the wax apple skin, making the canned food taste sweeter.

[0003] In the processing of wax apples, traditional peeling methods often have many problems. For example, due to the unique shape of wax apples, existing peeling equipment is difficult to accurately remove the peel, which can easily lead to incomplete peeling or cause significant damage to the flesh, thus affecting the quality of subsequent processing of the wax apples. Previous processing equipment usually lacks adaptability to wax apples of different sizes and shapes, and cannot meet diverse production needs. In addition, in the overall peeling operation of the fruit stalk, navel and outer skin, the connection between each link is not tight and efficient enough, resulting in low processing efficiency, which cannot meet the requirements of modern food processing industry for efficient and high-quality production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] like Figure 1-11The wax apple processing equipment shown is used for processing wax apple 1, including a conveyor belt 21 for conveying wax apple 1, a plurality of carrier plates 211 for carrying wax apple 1 are arranged on the conveyor belt 21, and air suction ports 212 for adsorbing the bottom of wax apple 1 are evenly arranged on the carrier plates 211, and a center clamping component 3 for centering the wax apple 1 on the carrier plates 211 and a top peeling component 4 installed on the center clamping component 3 are arranged in sequence above the conveying direction thereof, and an outer skin peeling component 5 for removing the outer skin and a navel peeling component 6 for removing the navel peel of the fruit are also arranged at the end of the conveyor belt 21, and the center clamping component 3 includes a fixedly mounted A first mounting frame 31 is above the conveyor belt 21, and a first lifting plate 32 for vertical sliding and a first lifting frame 33 for transmission connection with the first lifting plate 32 are provided on the first mounting frame 31. Four sets of central clamping mechanisms 34 are arranged in a ring inside the first lifting frame 33. The outer skin peeling component 5 includes a second lifting frame 52 for vertical sliding and a first transfer transmission frame 51 for sliding on the second lifting frame 52 along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 21. A first vacuum adsorption head 53 and a second rotating drive mechanism 55 for driving the first vacuum adsorption head 53 to rotate are installed on the first transfer transmission frame 51. A second peeling mechanism 54 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 21.

[0020] The present invention can completely remove the peel, stalk and navel of the wax apple fruit 1 through the above-mentioned equipment, thereby improving the quality of subsequent processing of the wax apple fruit 1. The overall integration of the equipment is high, the peeling is thorough and the pulp retention rate is high. The wax apple fruits 1 of different sizes and shapes can be matched for peeling operations, thereby improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0021] The conveyor belt 21 is used for transmission operations. The wax apple fruit 1 is installed on the carrying plate 211 of the conveyor belt 21. The centering clamping component 3 performs centering operations on the wax apple fruit 1 on the carrying plate 211. The top peeling component 4 cuts the stalk and the top of the peel of the wax apple fruit 1 clamped by the centering clamping component 3. The outer peeling component 5 cuts the outer peel of the wax apple fruit 1. The centering clamping component 3 no longer clamps the outer side of the wax apple fruit 1. At this time, the clamping position of the wax apple fruit 1 is converted to the top of the wax apple fruit 1. Since the peeling operation has been completed on the top of the wax apple fruit 1, the outer side wall and the bottom peel of the wax apple fruit 1 cut by the outer peeling component 5 are completely cut off. Finally, through vacuum adsorption, the wax apple fruit 1 is driven to be lifted upward, and driven to be transferred to the top of the navel peeling component 6 and then descended. The navel peeling component 6 performs a cutting operation on the navel position at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1. This method has high cutting efficiency, less damage to the fruit pulp, and can adapt to different fruit shapes.

[0022] The center clamping mechanism 34 includes a first connecting frame 344, a vertical sliding seat 345, a first connecting rod 346, a second connecting rod 347 and a first spring 348. The first spring 348 is vertically installed between the first lifting plate 32 and the first lifting frame 33. The two ends of the first spring 348 are fixedly connected to the first lifting plate 32 and the first lifting frame 33 respectively. The center clamping mechanism 34 also includes a push clamping frame 341 horizontally slidably arranged at the bottom of the first connecting frame 344, and a bottom contact plate 3421 and a side wall contact plate 3431 fixedly installed on the push clamping frame 341. The connecting frame 344 is fixedly installed on the first lifting frame 33, the vertical sliding seat 345 is vertically slidably set on the first connecting frame 344, one end of the first connecting rod 346 is hinged to the bottom of the first lifting plate 32, the other end of the first connecting rod 346 is hinged to the vertical sliding seat 345, one end of the second connecting rod 347 is hinged to the vertical sliding seat 345, the other end of the second connecting rod 347 is hinged to the pushing clamping frame 341, the bottom contact plate 3421 is located below the side wall contact plate 3431, and a support seat 213 is provided on the side of the conveyor belt 21 to cooperate with the bottom limit of the first connecting frame 344.

[0023] When it is necessary to clamp the wax apple 1 in the center, the first lifting plate 32 is pressed down to drive the first lifting frame 33 elastically connected thereto to descend, and the first lifting frame 33 drives the first connecting frame 344 fixedly connected thereto to descend synchronously. When the bottom of the first connecting frame 344 is in contact with the support seat 213, the first connecting frame 344 descends into place. At this time, the first lifting plate 32 is continued to be pressed down, and the first lifting plate 32 and the first connecting frame 344 slide relative to each other, which drives the first connecting rod 346 connected to the first lifting plate 32 to deflect, and the vertical sliding seat 345 is driven vertically to descend by the first connecting rod 346. When the vertical sliding seat 345 descends, the second connecting rod 347 is driven to deflect, and the second connecting rod 347 pushes the push clamping frame 341 to slide horizontally on the first connecting frame 344, that is, to move in the direction of the wax apple fruit 1 near the center. At this time, the bottom contact plate 3421 and the side wall contact plate 3431 installed on the push clamping frame 341 are driven to move synchronously in the direction close to the wax apple fruit 1. By synchronously driving the bottom contact plate 3421 and the side wall contact plate 3431, the wax apple fruit 1 is forced to gradually move to the center position of the carrier plate 211. At this time, the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1 is subjected to negative pressure adsorption through the vacuum adsorption port 212 to achieve the center clamping effect. The first spring 348 is used to provide elastic force between the first lifting plate 32 and the first lifting frame 33, so that there can be a certain relative displacement between the two. After the clamping is completed, the top peeling operation is performed on the top of the wax apple fruit 1 located in the middle position through the top peeling component 4.

[0024] The bottom contact plate 3421 includes a first fixed plate 3422, a first contact plate 3423, a third spring 3424 and a telescopic connecting rod 3425. The first fixed plate 3422 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push clamping frame 341. The first contact plate 3423 is fixedly installed on the side of the first fixed plate 3422 close to the wax apple 1 through the telescopic connecting rod 3425. The third spring 3424 is horizontally installed between the first fixed plate 3422 and the first contact plate 3423. The side wall contact plate 3431 includes a second fixed plate 3432, a second contact plate 3433 and The second spring 3434 and the second fixed plate 3432 are fixedly installed on the top of the pushing clamping frame 341, the second contact plate 3433 is located on the side of the second fixed plate 3432 close to the wax apple fruit 1, the center of the side wall of the second contact plate 3433 is hinged to the second fixed plate 3432, the top of the second contact plate 3433 is hinged to one end of the second spring 3434, the other end of the second spring 3434 is hinged to one end of the second fixed plate 3432, and elastic contact pads are provided on the side of the first contact plate 3423 and the second contact plate 3433 close to the wax apple fruit 1.

[0025] Before peeling, it is necessary to center the wax apple fruit 1 on the supporting plate 211 to facilitate the subsequent peeling of the wax apple fruit 1. When the center of the wax apple fruit 1 is resisted and clamped, when the pushing clamping frame 341 is displaced in the direction close to the wax apple fruit 1, the bottom resistance plate 3421 and the side wall resistance plate 3431 installed thereon are synchronously close to the wax apple fruit 1. The upper half of the side wall of the wax apple fruit 1 is a conical section, and the lower half of the side wall of the wax apple fruit 1 is an arc section. The bottom resistance plate 3421 resists the arc section part, and the side wall resistance plate 3431 resists the conical section (i.e., the inclined surface) part, thereby improving the resistance and clamping force of the wax apple fruit 1 in one direction, which can not only ensure that it can achieve the precise centering positioning effect, but also improve the resistance and clamping force, so as to facilitate the top peeling component 4 to perform the peeling operation.

[0026] The third spring 3424 provides a certain elastic force for the first contact plate 3423, the telescopic connecting rod 3425 is used to guide and limit the displacement of the first contact plate 3423, and the second spring 3434 provides a certain elastic force for the second contact plate 3433, so that it can deflect at an angle around the hinge position with the second fixed plate 3432, so as to match the different inclination angles of the side walls of different wax apple fruits 1, so as to maintain a better clamping and transmission effect.

[0027] The top peeling assembly 4 includes a first push rod 41, a first rotation drive mechanism 42, a first peeling mechanism 43 and a first suction mechanism 44. The first push rod 41 capable of lifting and lowering is transmission-connected to the first lifting plate 32 (such as Figure 4As shown), the first rotary drive mechanism 42, the first peeling mechanism 43 and the first air suction mechanism 44 are all arranged on the first lifting plate 32, the first rotary drive mechanism 42 is transmission-connected with the first peeling mechanism 43 and the first air suction mechanism 44, and the first peeling mechanism 43 includes a first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 that can rotate.

[0028] The first push rod 41 is used to drive the first lifting plate 32 to lift and displace, and can drive the first rotating drive mechanism 42, the first peeling mechanism 43, and the first exhaust mechanism 44 installed thereon to lift and displace synchronously. When the first lifting plate 32 slides relative to the first lifting frame 33, it can drive the centering clamping mechanism 34 to perform a centering clamping operation. When the wax apple 1 is centered, the first lifting plate 32 no longer moves. At this time, the height of the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 is adjusted by the first peeling mechanism 43 to facilitate cutting off the tops of different wax apple fruits 1. The first rotating drive mechanism 42 drives the first peeling mechanism 43 and the first exhaust mechanism 44 to rotate, driving the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 in the first peeling mechanism 43 to rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the cutting operation of the outer skin of the top of the wax apple fruit 1, so as to facilitate the subsequent peeling process of the wax apple fruit 1 by adsorbing the top of the wax apple fruit 1. The first suction mechanism 44 can absorb the cut peel residue upwards and separate it from the wax apple 1 during subsequent resetting. When the top of the wax apple 1 is clamped laterally, there is no peel at the clamping position, ensuring that the peel is removed in place. It is worth mentioning that a receiving plate capable of lateral displacement is provided on the side of the top peeling component 4 to receive the removed peel residue.

[0029] The first air extraction mechanism 44 includes an air extraction head 441, a hollow tube 442, a conducting ring 443 and an air guide tube 444. The hollow tube 442 (such as Figure 7 The air guide tube 444 is horizontally arranged, one end of the air guide tube 444 is connected to the air pump, and the other end of the air guide tube 444 is connected to the conduction ring 443, and the hollow tube 442 is transmission connected to the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431.

[0030] When the first air extraction mechanism 44 is working, the air guide tube 444 cooperates with the conducting ring 443 and the hollow tube 442 to realize the vacuuming function of the air extraction material head 441. The hollow tube 442 and the conducting ring 443 can ensure the normal operation of the air extraction operation while transmitting the rotational power, so that the two do not interfere with each other. When the first rotary drive mechanism 42 outputs, it can drive the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 connected to it to rotate through the hollow tube 442, thereby realizing the rotary drive function.

[0031] The first rotary drive mechanism 42 includes a first rotary driver 421, a driving gear 422 and a driven gear 423. The first rotary driver 421 is fixedly mounted on the first lifting plate 32. The driving gear 422 is fixedly arranged on the output end of the first rotary driver 421. The driven gear 423 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the hollow tube 442. The driving gear 422 is meshed with the driven gear 423.

[0032] When the first rotary drive mechanism 42 is working, the drive gear 422 is driven to rotate through the output of the first rotary driver 421, and then the driven gear 423 meshing with the drive gear 422 is driven to rotate. When the driven gear 423 rotates, it drives the hollow tube 442 connected thereto to rotate, and then the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 is driven to rotate through the hollow tube 442, thereby achieving the peeling effect on the top of the wax apple fruit 1.

[0033] The first peeling mechanism 43 also includes a second pushing rod 432, a lifting transmission ring 433 and a first mounting knife holder 434. The lifting transmission ring 433 is vertically slidably arranged on the hollow tube 442. A vertical transmission bar is provided on the hollow tube 442. A card slot matching the vertical transmission bar is provided on the lifting transmission ring 433. The second pushing rod 432 that can be lifted and lowered is transmission-connected to the top of the lifting transmission ring 433. An annular slide groove is provided on the top of the lifting transmission ring 433 for the second pushing rod 432 to slide. The first mounting knife holder 434 is fixedly installed on the lifting transmission ring 433. The first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 is fixedly installed on the first mounting knife holder 434.

[0034] When adjusting the top peeling (i.e., adjusting the cutting height of the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431), the second push rod 432 is driven to move in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the lifting transmission ring 433 to slide on the hollow tube 442. When the hollow tube 442 rotates, it cooperates with the vertical transmission bar and the card slot to drive the lifting transmission ring 433 to rotate synchronously. The annular slide groove is used to connect the second push rod 432 to ensure that the second push rod 432 can be transmitted vertically without interfering with the rotation of the lifting transmission ring 433. When the lifting transmission ring 433 is displaced, it drives the first arc-shaped cutting knife 431 to move in the vertical direction through the fixedly connected first mounting tool holder 434, thereby achieving the effect of top peeling and cutting.

[0035] The second peeling mechanism 54 includes a first inclined peeling knife 541, a second arc-shaped cutting knife 542, a bottom cutting knife 543, a transverse mounting frame 544, a first electric push rod 545 and a second electric push rod 546. The transverse mounting frame 544 is slidably arranged beside the conveyor belt 21. The ends of the first inclined peeling knife 541 and the second arc-shaped cutting knife 542 close to each other are hingedly arranged on the transverse mounting frame 544. The first electric push rod 545 and the second electric push rod 546 are respectively fixedly mounted horizontally at the upper and lower ends of the transverse mounting frame 544. The output end of the first electric push rod 545 is hinged to the top of the first inclined peeling knife 541, and the output end of the second electric push rod 546 is hinged to the bottom of the second arc-shaped cutting knife 542. The bottom cutting knife 543 is fixedly mounted horizontally at the bottom of the transverse mounting frame 544.

[0036] When removing the outer skin, the suction suction port 212 sucks the wax apple fruit 1, and the second rotary drive mechanism 55 drives the carrier plate 211 to rotate, thereby driving the wax apple fruit 1 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the transverse mounting frame 544 is horizontally displaced close to the wax apple fruit 1, and the first inclined peeling knife 541 and the second arc-shaped cutting knife 542 arranged on the outside of the wax apple fruit 1 cut the outer peel of the wax apple fruit 1 to achieve the peeling function. The angles of the first inclined peeling knife 541 and the second arc-shaped cutting knife 542 can be adjusted respectively by the first electric push rod 545 and the second electric push rod 546 to match wax apple fruits 1 of different sizes and shapes. When the transverse mounting frame 544 is displaced, the bottom cutting knife 543 installed at the bottom of the transverse mounting frame 544 cuts the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1 and cuts off the excess part at the bottom.

[0037] The second rotary drive mechanism 55 includes a second rotary driver 551, a first rotating shaft 552, a second rotating shaft 553, a friction transmission wheel 554 and a friction transmission ring 555.

The friction transmission wheel 554 is in contact with the outer wall of the friction transmission ring 555. The first vacuum adsorption head 53 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first rotating shaft 552.

[0038] When the second lifting frame 52 descends, it drives the first transfer transmission frame 51 installed thereon to descend synchronously, and the first vacuum adsorption head 53 installed thereon is driven to descend through the first transfer transmission frame 51. At the same time, the second rotation drive mechanism 55 descends synchronously, and the friction transmission wheel 554 on the second rotation drive mechanism 55 conflicts with the friction transmission ring 555 on the carrying plate 211. At this time, the second rotation driver 551 drives the first rotating shaft 552 to rotate, and then drives the first vacuum adsorption head 53 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. The second rotating shaft 553 drives the friction transmission wheel 554 to rotate, and the friction transmission wheel 554 drives the friction transmission ring 555 fitted thereto to rotate, and then drives the synchronous rotation function of the carrying plate 211 fixedly connected to the friction transmission ring 555. At this time, the wax apple fruit 1 realizes a stable rotation function under the joint action of the first vacuum adsorption head 53 and the carrying plate 211, so as to facilitate the peeling operation of the outer wall of the wax apple fruit 1.

[0040] When the navel peeling component 6 is working, the size and shape of the navel at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1 are detected by a detection camera vertically arranged at the bottom of the second mounting frame 61, and the lifting ring 623 is driven to lift and lower to adjust the inclination angle of the second inclined peeling knife 621, thereby realizing the removal operation of the navel at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1. At this time, the lifting ring 623 is lifted and lowered vertically to drive the fourth hinged rod 624 to deflect, thereby adjusting the second inclined peeling knife 621 to deflect around the hinge with the support rod 622, thereby realizing the angle adjustment function, and performing complete removal operations on navels of different sizes and different deflection angles.

[0041] A processing method for wax apple fruit comprises the following steps: S1: First, the wax apple fruit 1 is clamped in the center. The wax apple fruit 1 is placed on the carrying plate 211 of the conveyor belt 21, and the first lifting plate 32 is pressed down to drive the first lifting frame 33 to descend, drive the center clamping mechanism 34 to move, and gradually move the wax apple fruit 1 to the center position of the carrying plate 211, and then complete the center clamping by negative pressure adsorption; S2: peeling the top of the clamped wax apple fruit 1, removing the outer skin of the top of the wax apple fruit 1, and adsorbing the peel residue to achieve the peel separation function; S3: performing the outer peeling operation again: adsorbing the wax apple fruit 1 and driving the wax apple fruit 1 to rotate synchronously through the second rotation drive mechanism 55, adjusting the cutting angle, cutting off the outer pericarp of the wax apple fruit 1, and simultaneously cutting off the excess part at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1, and cutting off the outer wall and the bottom pericarp; S4: Finally, the navel peeling operation is performed: after the size and shape of the navel at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1 are detected, the navel at the bottom of the wax apple fruit 1 is removed.
