Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of peeling machine technology, and more specifically, to a lotus root contour peeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the main peeling methods are manual and mechanical peeling. Manual peeling involves using a hand-held peeler to scrape the skin off the lotus root, or using a steel wool pad to rub and peel it. This method removes the skin cleanly, but it is labor-intensive, inefficient, and unsuitable for large-scale production. Mechanical peeling is mainly divided into friction peeling and cutting peeling. Friction peeling primarily uses brush rollers with a cleaning function to rub the lotus root skin. This method has a simple equipment structure and can peel a large amount of material at a time. However, excessive friction can severely damage the lotus root surface, affecting its quality. Insufficient friction will affect the peeling effect and will not remove the skin from the sunken areas of the lotus root, resulting in a low peeling rate and a significant gap from the high-quality lotus root peeling requirements of the market.

[0003] Among the existing publicly available documents, patent publication number CN118525974A discloses an automatic lotus root peeling machine. This technology utilizes various structures to allow the torque generated by the rotating drive gear to rotate along the axis of the reinforced gear disc, thereby enabling the peeling blade to rotate and peel the lotus root. Furthermore, the arrangement of the inclined rod, H-rod, and shaft connecting rod allows the peeling blade to adhere to the lotus root segment and receive the reaction force exerted by the segment. This allows for rapid changes in the relative shapes of the inclined rod, H-rod, and shaft connecting rod to conform to the shape of the lotus root segment, reducing waste during peeling. Simultaneously, the feeding, transfer, and placement of the lotus root segments are carried out concurrently. However, this technology still has the following problems.

[0004] When peeling lotus roots, the lotus root contour peeling machine faces challenges due to the varying sizes of the lotus roots. This makes it difficult to position the peeling blades according to the size of the lotus root, and the blade position cannot be automatically adjusted. Furthermore, the irregular shape of the lotus root results in low peeling efficiency in concave areas and high peeling loss. Therefore, it is difficult to use a combination of curved and straight blades for peeling. Additionally, a clamping and positioning mechanism suitable for a wider range of lotus root sizes is needed. Therefore, a lotus root contour peeling machine is required. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lotus root contour peeling machine, comprising an electronic control unit, a sleeve plate, and a sliding sleeve block. The sleeve plate is fixed to the upper surface of the electronic control unit, and the sliding sleeve block is slidably connected to the upper surface of the sleeve plate. A positioning adjustment mechanism is provided at the top of the sliding sleeve block. The positioning adjustment mechanism includes a support plate fixedly disposed at the top of the sliding sleeve block, and a bearing sleeve is slidably connected to the upper surface of the support plate. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing sleeve. A head insert is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft near the head insert. A bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame, and a drive motor is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame. The drive motor is used to drive the bidirectional screw to rotate. Two threaded sleeve blocks are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of each threaded sleeve block. Two chains are provided on one side of the sleeve plate, and an arc-shaped peeling adjustment mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the chains.

[0006] Preferably, both threaded sleeves are slidably connected to the support frame. The inner wall of the support frame and the outer wall of the threaded sleeves are smooth surfaces. The output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw. The bidirectional screw and the two threaded sleeves are both made of stainless steel. An auxiliary pointed column is fixedly connected to each adjacent side of the two connecting blocks. The vertical cross-sectional area of ​​one end of the auxiliary pointed column is larger than the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the other end. A push cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the bearing sleeve. The push cylinder is used to push the bearing sleeve to move, and the lower surface of the push cylinder is fixedly connected to the support plate. A sleeve block is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate away from the bearing sleeve. A reduction motor is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the sleeve block. A pointed plug is fixedly installed at the output end of the reduction motor, and the output end of the reduction motor is rotatably connected to the sleeve block. A linkage screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block, and a linkage motor is fixedly installed on one side of the sleeve plate. The linkage motor is used to drive the linkage screw to rotate.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the chain is connected to a plurality of gears in a meshing transmission, the inner wall of the gears is fixedly connected to a drive shaft, a bracket is fixedly installed on one side of the electronic control host, and the plurality of drive shafts are rotatably connected to the bracket; a drive motor is fixedly installed at the bottom end of one of the drive shafts, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the bracket.

[0008] In operation, this technology involves a drive motor rotating a bidirectional screw, which in turn moves two threaded sleeve blocks away from each other due to the threaded action. The connecting block moves the auxiliary pins to the left, increasing the distance between them. This activates the push cylinder, causing the bearing sleeve to move the rotating shaft. The support frame then moves the bidirectional screw, which in turn moves the two threaded sleeve blocks, allowing the two auxiliary pins to be inserted into the two sides of the lotus root end. The control unit then activates the linkage motor, which in turn moves the sliding sleeve block to the left under the force transmitted through the thread. The support plate causes the sleeve block to move to the left, which in turn moves the reduction motor. The support plate then moves the bearing sleeve to the left, allowing the head insert and the tip plug to guide the lotus root into the position below the arc-shaped limiting scraper.

[0009] Preferably, the arc-shaped peeling adjustment mechanism includes a support bar fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the chain;

[0010] An adjusting motor is fixedly installed on one side of the socket rotating block. The output end of the adjusting motor is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve, and the output end of the adjusting motor is fixedly connected to the socket rotating block. An arc-shaped limiting scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the socket rotating block. A straight cutting adjustment component is provided on one side of the support bar. The arc-shaped limiting scraper is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve, and both the socket rotating block and the arc-shaped limiting scraper are made of stainless steel.

[0011] In use, this technology involves connecting the sleeve via a chain support, adjusting the motor to drive the sleeve rotating block to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the arc-shaped limiting scraper to rotate counterclockwise. This allows the arc-shaped limiting scraper to be used to peel the concave areas on the surface of the lotus root, fitting snugly to the concave parts of the lotus root surface.

[0012] Preferably, the straight cutting adjustment assembly includes a reinforcing bar disposed on one side of the support bar; a support bar is provided on one side of the reinforcing bar, and both the support bar and the reinforcing bar are fixedly connected to the chain; a compression electric cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the reinforcing bar, and an arc-shaped spring is fixedly connected to the output end of the compression electric cylinder; two straight scrapers are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped spring.

[0013] An arc-shaped support bar is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the support bar, and two lateral scrapers are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped support bar.

[0014] In operation, the electric control unit activates the extrusion cylinder, causing the arc-shaped spring to move the linear scraper to the outer wall of the lotus root at the peeling position. A reinforcing strip supports the extrusion cylinder, and an arc-shaped support bar supports two lateral scrapers, allowing them to be positioned at the end of the lotus root for direct peeling. The drive motor rotates forward, causing the drive shaft to rotate two gears. The chain drives the support bar, causing the connecting sleeve to move to the right. The rotating block then moves the arc-shaped limiting scraper to the right, performing an arc-shaped scraping motion to peel the lotus root. The extrusion cylinder moves the arc-shaped spring to the right, which in turn moves the two linear scrapers to the right simultaneously, allowing for direct peeling of the lotus root's outer wall. The arc-shaped support bar also moves the two lateral scrapers to the right, enabling direct peeling of the other end of the lotus root.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. This invention utilizes a positioning and adjustment mechanism, with a drive motor driving a bidirectional screw to rotate. The bidirectional screw causes two threaded sleeve blocks to move away from each other under the action of the threads. This causes the threaded sleeve blocks to move the connecting block to the left, while another threaded sleeve block moves to the right, until the specified docking size with the end of the lotus root is achieved. The electric cylinder then pushes the bearing sleeve, which in turn moves the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft causes the head insert to press against the end of the lotus root, and two auxiliary pins can be inserted at the two sides of the end of the lotus root. Both the head insert and the pointed plugs allow the lotus root to enter the position below the arc-shaped limiting scraper. This mimics manual longitudinal peeling, accommodating a wider range of lotus root sizes. The peeling blades are all elastically contoured, better conforming to the surface contour of the lotus root for a higher peeling rate. The adaptive elastic clamping allows for the clamping and peeling of lotus roots of various sizes, making it suitable for peeling lotus roots of a wider size range. It boasts a high peeling rate, low loss rate, and significantly saves labor costs. It can perform peeling operations on lotus roots of different sizes, making it more versatile.

[0017] 2. This invention utilizes an arc-shaped peeling adjustment mechanism, supported by a chain connecting sleeve, which in turn supports an adjusting motor. The adjusting motor drives a rotating block to rotate counterclockwise. The arc-shaped limiting scraper can be used to peel the concave areas of the lotus root surface. By conforming to the concave areas, the rotating block moves the arc-shaped limiting scraper to the right, allowing it to perform an arc-shaped scraping motion to peel the lotus root. This adjustment of the arc-shaped limiting scraper's peeling position makes it suitable for peeling lotus roots of different sizes, resulting in better peeling performance. Furthermore, for peeling concave areas, a combination of arc-shaped and straight blades can be used.

[0018] 3. This invention employs a straight-cutting adjustment component. A pressing electric cylinder pushes an arc-shaped spring sheet downwards, causing it to deform and move. The arc-shaped spring sheet then moves a straight scraper to adhere to the outer wall of the lotus root at the peeling position. A reinforcing strip supports the pressing electric cylinder, and an arc-shaped support bar supports two lateral scrapers. This allows the two lateral scrapers to adhere to the straight-cutting position at the end of the lotus root. A drive motor drives a drive shaft to rotate clockwise, which in turn drives two gears to rotate clockwise. A chain drives the support bar, causing the connecting sleeve to move to the right. The rotating block then moves the arc-shaped limiting scraper to the right, allowing for arc-shaped scraping and peeling of the lotus root. The two straight scrapers can perform straight-cutting cleaning of the lotus root's outer wall, enabling adjustable peeling operations at the straight-cutting section.

[0019] The interaction of these multiple functions allows for several key aspects. First, the two auxiliary pins can be inserted at the two sides of the lotus root's end for peeling operations of different sizes. Second, the peeling position of the arc-shaped limiting scraper can be adjusted to accommodate lotus roots of varying sizes. Third, the arc-shaped limiting scraper performs an arc-shaped scraping motion to peel the lotus root, while the two straight scrapers clean the outer wall of the lotus root with a straight cut. In summary, the peeling process can be precisely positioned according to the size of the lotus root, and the blade position can be automatically adjusted to suit different sizes of lotus roots.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] As attached Figure 1-8 The lotus root shaping and peeling machine shown is equipped with a positioning adjustment mechanism, an arc-shaped peeling adjustment mechanism, and a straight cutting adjustment component.

[0031] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, the positioning adjustment mechanism includes a support plate 4 fixedly mounted on the top of the sliding sleeve block 3, and a bearing sleeve 5 slidably connected to the upper surface of the support plate 4. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing sleeve 5. A head insert 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 6. A support frame 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6 near the head insert 7. A bidirectional screw 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 8. A drive motor 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the support frame 8, and the drive motor 10 is used to drive the bidirectional screw 9 to rotate. Two threaded sleeve blocks 11 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 9. A connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to one end of each threaded sleeve block 11.

[0032] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 2-5As shown, each of the two connecting blocks 12 has an auxiliary pointed column 13 fixedly connected to one of its adjacent sides. The vertical cross-sectional area of ​​one end of the auxiliary pointed column 13 is larger than the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the other end, so that the connecting block 12 can drive the auxiliary pointed column 13 to move to the left, and the distance between the two auxiliary pointed columns 13 becomes larger, thus making it suitable for positioning lotus roots of different diameters.

[0033] A push cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the bearing sleeve 5. The push cylinder 14 is used to push the bearing sleeve 5 to move. The lower surface of the push cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the support plate 4 so as to start the push cylinder 14 and push the bearing sleeve 5 to realize the movement operation of the bearing sleeve 5.

[0034] A sleeve block 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 4, away from the bearing sleeve 5.

A linkage screw 18 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block 3, and a linkage motor 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the sleeve plate 2. The linkage motor 19 is used to drive the linkage screw 18 to rotate, so that the linkage motor 19 drives the linkage screw 18 to rotate. The linkage screw 18 drives the sliding sleeve block 3 to move to the left under the action of the threaded transmission force, so that the support plate 4 causes the sleeve block 15 to drive the geared motor 16 to move to the left, and the geared motor 16 drives the pointed plug 17 to move to the left.

[0035] The inner wall of the chain 20 is connected to multiple gears 22, and the inner wall of the gears 22 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 23. A bracket 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the electric control host 1, and the multiple drive shafts 23 are rotatably connected to the bracket 21. A drive motor 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one of the drive shafts 23, and the drive motor 24 is fixedly connected to the bracket 21. By starting the drive motor 24 to rotate forward, the drive motor 24 drives the drive shaft 23 to rotate forward, the drive shaft 23 drives the two gears 22 to rotate forward, the gears 22 drive the two chains 20 to move to the right, and the chains 20 drive the support bar 25 to move the connecting sleeve 26 to the right. Thus, the chain 20 can realize the transmission operation.

[0036] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 6 As shown, the arc-shaped peeling adjustment mechanism includes a support bar 25 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the chain 20; an adjustment motor 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting sleeve 28, the output end of the adjustment motor 27 is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 26, and the output end of the adjustment motor 27 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 28, the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 28 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped limiting scraper 29; a straight-cutting adjustment component is provided on one side of the support bar 25. The arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 is rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 26, and both the connecting sleeve 28 and the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 are made of stainless steel.

[0037] In this technical solution, as shown in the appendix Figure 6-8 As shown, the straight cutting adjustment assembly includes a reinforcing bar 30 disposed on one side of the support bar 25; a support bar 31 is provided on one side of the reinforcing bar 30, and both the support bar 31 and the reinforcing bar 30 are fixedly connected to the chain 20. A compression cylinder 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the reinforcing bar 30, and an arc-shaped spring 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the compression cylinder 32; two straight scrapers 34 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped spring 33; an arc-shaped support bar 35 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the support bar 31, and two lateral scrapers 36 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped support bar 35.

[0038] The working principle of the lotus root shaping and peeling machine of this invention is as follows:

[0039] Step 1: During positioning and adjustment, the drive motor 10 is started by the electronic control host 1. The drive motor 10 drives the bidirectional screw 9 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 9 rotates inside the support frame 8. At the same time, the bidirectional screw 9 drives the two threaded sleeve blocks 11 to move away from each other under the action of the threads. In this way, the threaded sleeve blocks 11 drive the connecting block 12 to move to the left, and another threaded sleeve block 11 moves to the right. The connecting block 12 drives the auxiliary pin 13 to move to the left, and the distance between the two auxiliary pins 13 increases until it is adjusted to the specified docking size with the end of the lotus root. Then, the drive motor 10 is turned off, and the push cylinder 14 is started. The push cylinder 14 pushes the bearing sleeve 5. The bearing sleeve 5 drives the rotating shaft 6 to move. The rotating shaft 6 causes the head insertion block 7 to press against the end of the lotus root. At the same time, the support frame 8 drives the bidirectional screw 9 to move. The bidirectional screw 9 drives the two threaded sleeve blocks 11 to move. The threaded sleeve blocks 11 drive the connecting block 12 to move the auxiliary pins 13. The two auxiliary pins 13 can be inserted into the two sides of the end of the lotus root. Meanwhile, the other end of the lotus root is inserted into the tip plug 17, thereby limiting and fixing both ends of the lotus root. Then, the main control unit 1 starts the linkage motor 19, which drives the linkage screw 18 to rotate. The linkage screw 18 drives the sliding sleeve block 3 to move to the left under the action of the thread transmission force, so that the sliding sleeve block 3 drives the support plate 4 to move to the left. The support plate 4 causes the sleeve block 15 to drive the reduction motor 16 to move to the left. The reduction motor 16 drives the tip plug 17 to move to the left, and the support plate 4 drives the bearing sleeve 5 to move to the left. The bearing sleeve 5 causes the rotating shaft 6 to drive the head plug 7 to move to the left. In this way, both the head plug 7 and the tip plug 17 can allow the lotus root to enter the position below the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29.

[0040] Step 2: During the arc-shaped peeling adjustment, the connecting sleeve 26 is supported by the chain 20, and the connecting sleeve 26 supports the adjusting motor 27. The adjusting motor 27 drives the sleeve rotating block 28 to rotate counterclockwise, and the sleeve rotating block 28 drives the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 to rotate counterclockwise. In this way, the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 is used to peel the concave areas on the surface of the lotus root, fitting the concave parts of the lotus root surface.

[0041] Step 3: During the straight-cutting adjustment, the electric control host 1 starts the extrusion cylinder 32. The extrusion cylinder 32 pushes the arc-shaped spring 33 to deform and move downward. The arc-shaped spring 33 drives the straight scraper 34 to fit against the outer wall of the lotus root at the peeling position. The formula chain 20 supports the reinforcing strip 30, which in turn supports the extrusion cylinder 32, increasing the stability of the extrusion cylinder 32. In addition, the support strip 31 supports the arc-shaped support strip 35, which in turn supports the two lateral scrapers 36. In this way, the two lateral scrapers 36 can fit against the straight-cutting position at the end of the lotus root. By starting the drive motor 24 to rotate forward, the drive motor 24 drives the drive shaft 23 to rotate forward, the drive shaft 23 drives the two gears 22 to rotate forward, the gears 22 drive the two chains 20 to move to the right, the chains 20 drive the support bar 25 to move the connecting sleeve 26 to the right, the connecting sleeve 26 drives the adjusting motor 27 to move the connecting block 28 to the right, the connecting block 28 drives the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 to move to the right, the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 performs arc-shaped scraping to peel the lotus root, and the chain 20 drives the reinforcing bar 30 to move the extrusion cylinder 32 to the right, the extrusion cylinder 32 drives the arc-shaped spring 33 to move to the right, the arc-shaped spring 33 drives the two straight scrapers 34 to move to the right synchronously, the two straight scrapers 34 can perform straight scraping to clean the outer wall of the lotus root, and the chain 20 drives the support bar 31 to move the arc-shaped support bar 35 to the right, the arc-shaped support bar 35 drives the two lateral scrapers 36 to move to the right, the lateral scrapers 36 perform straight scraping to peel the other end of the lotus root.

[0042] Step 4: When switching the peeling angle, start the reduction motor 16 to rotate 180 degrees. The reduction motor 16 causes the tip plug 17 to rotate 180 degrees, and the tip plug 17 drives the lotus root to rotate the head plug 7 180 degrees. The head plug 7 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate 180 degrees inside the bearing sleeve 5. Then, start the transmission motor 24 to reverse, which drives the transmission shaft 23 to reverse. The transmission shaft 23 drives the two gears 22 to reverse, and the gears 22 drive the two chains 20 to move to the left. The chains 20 drive the support bar 25 to move the connecting sleeve 26 to the left. The connecting sleeve 26 drives the adjusting motor 27 to move the connecting rotating block 28 to the left. The connecting rotating block 28 drives the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 to move to the left, and the arc-shaped limiting scraper 29 performs arc-shaped scraping to peel the lotus root.

[0043] The chain 20 drives the reinforcing bar 30, causing the extrusion cylinder 32 to move to the left. The extrusion cylinder 32 then drives the arc-shaped spring 33 to move to the left, which in turn drives the two straight scrapers 34 to move to the left simultaneously. The two straight scrapers 34 can clean the outer wall of the lotus root by straight scraping. The chain 20 also drives the support bar 31, causing the arc-shaped support bar 35 to move to the left. The arc-shaped support bar 35 then drives the two lateral scrapers 36 to move to the left, allowing the other end of the lotus root to be scraped and peeled. This allows for adjustable peeling of lotus roots of different sizes. The longitudinal peeling process, mimicking manual peeling, can accommodate a wider range of lotus root sizes. The peeling blades are all elastic and conform to the surface contour of the lotus root to achieve a higher peeling rate. The adaptive elastic clamping can clamp and peel lotus roots of various sizes, making it suitable for peeling lotus roots of a wider range of sizes. It has a high peeling rate, low loss rate, and greatly saves labor costs.
