Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fruit and vegetable processing device, in particular to a fruit and vegetable skin and flesh separation device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as people pay more attention to healthy diet, fruit products have become more and more popular among consumers. However, peeling is a relatively troublesome step in the fruit processing process. For example, in the contemporary common milk tea and fruit tea market, when making fruit drinks such as grapes and raisins, or mango drinks, the fruit skin needs to be removed, processed and cut. If peeling is done manually, it will take a lot of time and cause a waste of human resources.

[0003] For this reason, some devices for assisting fruit peeling have appeared, which mainly use springs to pull the blade to fit the surface of the fruit, and peel the fruit along the surface of the fruit in a rotating state by the peeling knife. For example, prior art 202421048559.7 provides an intelligent fruit peeling machine, including a shell, a placement plate, a motor 1 and a movable component, the movable component includes a rotating rod, a motor 2, a worm, a worm wheel, a connecting pipe and an adjusting component, the placement plate is fixedly connected to the shell and is located inside the shell, the motor 1 is detachably connected to the placement plate and is located above the placement plate, the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1, the motor 2 is detachably connected to the shell and is located inside the shell, the worm is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 and is located above the motor 2, the worm wheel is meshed with the worm, the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the worm wheel and passes through the worm wheel, and the connecting pipe is rotatably connected to the rotating rod.

[0004] Wherein, the movable assembly also includes a rotating disk, a fixed rod, a connecting rod, a fixed plate and a peeling knife, the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the connecting tube and is located at one end of the connecting tube, one end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the rotating disk and is located on the outside of the rotating disk, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other end of the fixed rod and passes through the fixed rod, the fixed plate is detachably connected to the connecting rod and is located at one end of the connecting rod, and the peeling knife is detachably connected to the fixed plate and is located on one side of the fixed plate. Wherein, the adjusting component includes an adjusting disk, an adjusting rod, a positioning rod and a spring, the adjusting disk is fixedly connected to the rotating rod and is located at one end of the rotating rod, the adjusting rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting disk and is located on one side of the adjusting disk, the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the fixed plate and is located on the inner side of the fixed plate, one end of the spring is detachably connected to the positioning rod and is located on one side of the positioning rod, and the other end of the spring is detachably connected to the adjusting rod.

[0005] During the implementation, the fruit and the blade need to rotate at the same time. For softer fruits, the needles cannot fix the fruit. At the same time, when the blade presses on the surface of the softer fruit, the fruit will be crushed due to excessive pressure, and the flesh cannot be separated smoothly. For this reason, this type of equipment cannot peel softer fruits.

[0006] For fruits with a softer texture, the prior art 202420158829.3 also provides a fruit peel knife disc, which is provided with a plurality of blade tooth assemblies and fruit peel holes, and the plurality of blade tooth assemblies are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the blade disc; the blade tooth assembly is used to rub against the fruit peel to remove the fruit peel when the blade disc rotates; the fruit peel holes and the blade tooth assembly are spaced apart in the rotation direction of the blade disc; the fruit peel holes are used to guide the fruit peel to fall off.

[0007] The blade tooth assembly includes a plurality of blade teeth, and the plurality of blade teeth are distributed at intervals in the radial direction of the blade disc; the blade teeth are inclined or curved on both sides of the blade disc in the direction of rotation. The blade teeth include a first tooth segment and a second tooth segment, and the first tooth segment and the second tooth segment are connected with each other in the direction of rotation of the blade disc; the outer diameter of the first tooth segment gradually decreases from an end close to the second tooth segment to an end away from the second tooth segment. A plurality of peel holes are provided, and the plurality of peel holes are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the blade disc; the peel holes extend in the radial direction of the blade disc, and the peel holes are arranged one-to-one in correspondence with the blade tooth assembly, and are distributed at intervals in the direction of rotation of the blade disc.

[0008] It comprises a machine base, a processing cup and a cutter disc. The machine base is provided with a driving assembly. The cutter disc is rotatably installed in the processing cup via a rotating shaft. The processing cup is detachably installed on the machine base so that the rotating shaft is synchronously connected with the driving assembly.

[0009] It can be seen that for this type of equipment, it is necessary to cooperate with the roller to drive the fruits and vegetables to roll in the roller, and to separate the skin and flesh by cutting the surface of the fruits and vegetables with the teeth. However, for fruits with a softer texture, the impact caused by rolling will cause the skin to be damaged. After the skin and flesh are separated, the flesh becomes rotten and mixed with the skin, and the real skin and flesh cutting and separation effect cannot be achieved. In other words, when processing grapes and ripe kiwis, separation failures and mixed pulp are likely to occur. Moreover, it is mainly suitable for fruits and vegetables with rounder shapes, otherwise rolling obstacles are likely to occur. For example, mangoes that have been segmented or unprocessed cannot achieve effective skin and flesh separation.

[0010] Therefore, the equipment used for peeling and pulping in the prior art cannot meet the needs of fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes and grapes that have a certain softness on the skin but tender and unstressed flesh. At the same time, the processing of non-circular fruits such as mangoes is also relatively lacking.

[0011] In view of the above-mentioned defects, the designer actively conducts research and innovation in order to create a fruit and vegetable skin and flesh separation equipment to make it more valuable for industrial use. Summary of the invention

[0057] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 8The fruit and vegetable peel and flesh separation equipment includes a carrier plate 1, and a driving bracket 2 is installed on the rear side of the carrier plate 1. The difference lies in that: a fixed driving mechanism 3 and an adjustable driving mechanism 4 are respectively connected to the driving bracket 2. At the same time, a mesh roller device 5 is installed on the fixed driving mechanism 3 and the adjustable driving mechanism 4. In this way, under the drive of the driving motor installed later, the fixed driving mechanism 3 and the adjustable driving mechanism 4 can drive the mesh roller device 5 thereon to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise respectively. In addition, a peel extrusion gap is formed between the mesh roller devices 5. In this way, the peel separated by squeezing the two mesh roller devices 5 can be properly guided into the mesh roller device 5 through the peel extrusion gap. During the implementation, a carrier bracket 6 is installed on the front side of the carrier plate 1, and the carrier bracket 6 is distributed with connecting holes 7 and adjustment holes 8. The front end of the fixed driving mechanism 3 is connected to the connecting hole 7, and the front end of the adjustable driving mechanism 4 is connected to the adjustment hole 8. Furthermore, an adjustment block 9 is installed at the position of the bearing bracket 6 corresponding to the adjustment hole 8, and the adjustment block 9 is also connected to the front end of the adjustable driving mechanism 4. An adjustment slot 10 is provided in the driving bracket 2, and an adjustment piece 11 is connected to the adjustment slot 10. The rear end of the adjustable driving mechanism 4 is connected to the adjustment piece 11. In this way, the adjustable driving mechanism 4 can be adjusted to the right and left to meet the adjustment of the final peel extrusion gap width, adapt to different fruits and vegetables, and have a better skin-meat separation effect.

[0059] During the implementation, the supporting plate 1 is located below the peel squeezing gap and is provided with a peel collecting hole 12. In this way, the separated peels can be collected through an external waste box. At the same time, the supporting plate 1 is located below the mesh roller device 5 and is equipped with a pulp collecting mechanism 13. In this way, the pulp located in the mesh roller device 5 can fall into the pulp collecting mechanism 13 through the gap of its pulp separation net. Then, relying on the effect of the slope and gravity, it slides into the corresponding collection device. In addition, in order to better separate the part where the pulp and the peel are adhered, the pulp collecting mechanism 13 is located on one side below the mesh roller device 5 and is equipped with a lower blade 14. The lower blade 14 is fitted and distributed on the outer edge of the mesh roller device 5 and is located in the peel squeezing gap. In this way, while the fruits and vegetables are squeezed and guided downward by the two mesh roller devices 5, the lower blade 14 can just extend into the part where the pulp and the peel are adhered to perform effective cutting and separation. Furthermore, in order to achieve smooth scraping of the fruit pulp, which can be directly converted into fruit pulp nails during the skin-flesh separation, the present invention installs an upper knife holder 15 above the supporting bracket 6. Specifically, an upper blade 16 extending toward the inside of the mesh drum device 5 is installed on the upper knife holder 15, and the upper blade 16 is closely distributed on the inner edge of the mesh drum device 5. In this way, when the fruits and vegetables are squeezed and transported from top to bottom, the fruit pulp entering the mesh drum device 5 can be scraped by the upper blade 16, achieving a similar continuous dicing effect.

[0060] When in use, the two mesh roller devices 5 can realize synchronous counter-rotation. At the same time, the peel squeezing gap is conventionally in the range of 2 to 15 mm, which can meet the current processing needs of more fruit and vegetable varieties. In addition, the lower blade 14 and the upper blade 16 allocated to the corresponding single mesh roller device 5 form a bidirectional shearing structure for the peel-flesh connection tissue.

[0061] In combination with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fixed drive mechanism 3 and the adjustable drive mechanism 4 both include a gear assembly 17 installed on the drive bracket 2, and the gear assemblies 17 mesh with each other. In this way, after docking with the subsequent drive motor and other drive equipment, the drive gear of the motor is combined with the gear assembly 17, and the gear transmission can be used to realize the relative inward rotation of the fixed drive mechanism 3 and the adjustable drive mechanism 4, thereby driving the two mesh roller devices 5 to rotate inward. At the same time, a transmission rod 18 is penetrated on the gear assembly 17, and a connection base 19 is penetrated on the transmission rod 18. The mesh roller device 5 is sleeved and installed on the connection base 19, and the mesh roller device 5 is screwed to the connection base 19 to ensure a stable connection. In this way, the stable assembly of the mesh roller device 5 can be met, and it is driven by the rotation of the transmission rod 18. During assembly, the front end of the transmission rod 18 is connected to the corresponding connection hole 7 or the adjustment hole 8. During implementation, a front bearing assembly 20 is installed at the front end of the transmission rod 18, and a rear bearing assembly 21 is installed at the rear end of the transmission rod 18. In this way, it can be ensured that when the transmission rod 18 itself is driven to rotate, it has a smooth rotational contact effect with the installation points at both ends, and no additional rotational resistance will be added, and no accidental jamming will occur. Furthermore, the adjustment hole 8 is a transversely distributed elliptical hole with an appropriate lateral adjustment gap. In this way, the front end of the adjustable drive mechanism 4 has a certain adjustment gap, and the adjustment block 9 can finally meet the locking after adjustment. Correspondingly, the adjustment piece 11 can be moved and positioned by the same distance, so that the final peel extrusion gap has the same width, avoiding the defect of excessive local extrusion. In this way, the adjustment of the peel extrusion gap is met to adapt to the different peel thicknesses of fruits and vegetables with skin. In other words, the peel extrusion gap can be adjusted large for thick skin, and the peel extrusion gap can be adjusted small for thin skin.

[0062] Further, the mesh drum device 5 includes a drum body, and a pulp separation net is distributed on the drum body. At the same time, taking into account the different types of fruits and vegetables, in order to allow more pulp to be squeezed into the mesh drum device 5 during the separation of skin and flesh, the mesh of the pulp separation net used is rectangular, or elliptical, or rhombus. Taking rectangles and rhombuses as examples, the matching function of the size of such holes and the types of fruits and vegetables is: d=k(0.2T+0.8S). Among them, d is the side length of the mesh, T is the average thickness of the peel, S is the average particle size of the pulp, and k is a correction coefficient of 0.8 to 1.2. During manufacturing, the mesh can be independently customized for the commonly used fruit and vegetable categories of the present invention to avoid accidental squeezing of the peel during the squeezing of the pulp. Of course, other shapes can also be selected, which will not be repeated here. Through multiple comparative tests, it was found that a rectangular mesh with a side length of 1 cm can meet more fruit and vegetable skin and flesh separation needs, which can be used as a default option.

[0063] In view of the actual implementation, in order to achieve effective locking and positioning of both ends of the adjustable drive mechanism 4 after satisfying the adjustment of the peel extrusion gap, and not affecting the rotation of the corresponding bearing assembly, the adjustment block 9 includes a block body, a transmission mounting hole is provided on the block body, and a plurality of adjustment oblong holes 22 are distributed on the adjustment block 9. Correspondingly, the adjustment sheet 11 includes a sheet body, a shaft mounting hole is provided on the sheet body, and a plurality of adjustment oblong holes 22 are distributed on the adjustment sheet 11. During the implementation, an adjustment screw is connected in the adjustment oblong hole 22. In this way, after the final adjustment is completed, it can be locked by the adjustment screw, and the characteristics of the adjustment oblong hole 22 can be used to have a suitable adjustment stroke during the adjustment period. During the implementation, the front bearing assembly 20 is inserted into the transmission mounting hole for positioning, and the rear bearing assembly 21 is inserted into the shaft mounting hole for positioning, and auxiliary locking can be performed by the lateral screw. It should be noted that even after the adjustable drive mechanism 4 is adjusted to make the peel extrusion gap in the maximum state, the gear assembly 17 to which the fixed drive mechanism 3 and the adjustable drive mechanism 4 belong is still in a meshing state. Furthermore, using the adjusting oblong hole 22 in conjunction with the adjusting screw to achieve proper adjustment of the installation position is a conventional technical means in the mechanical field and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] At the same time, the pulp collection mechanism 13 adopted in the present invention includes a guide plate 23 connected to the carrier plate 1, and raised collection wings 24 are distributed on both sides of the guide plate 23. In this way, the pulp that is accidentally thrown out can be collected and shielded, so that the pulp can be effectively collected. During installation, the collecting wings 24 are distributed on the outer side below the corresponding mesh roller device 5 to achieve semi-enclosed coverage. Even if the adjustable driving mechanism 4 moves left and right and drives the mesh roller device 5 installed thereon to adjust its position, it can ensure that the pulp can be smoothly collected and guided by the pulp collection mechanism 13. In addition, in order to meet the integrated coordination, the lower blade 14 is installed on the collecting wing 24, so that the collecting wing 24 can assume the function of constituting the lower knife holder.

[0065] Further, the upper blade holder 15 used includes a mounting plate 25 connected to the supporting bracket 6. Specifically, an L-shaped mounting plate 26 extends below the mounting plate 25, and the upper blade 16 is mounted on the outer side of the L-shaped mounting plate 26. In this way, the upper blade 16 can be placed with the blade facing upwards and as close to the inner wall of the drum body as possible, thereby achieving better pulp separation. At the same time, in order to be able to perform adaptive position adjustment after the position adjustment of the mesh drum device 5, a plurality of adjustment oblong holes 22 are opened on the mounting plate 25, and the adjustment oblong holes 22 are connected with adjustment screws.

[0066] During installation, in order to have better bottom bonding stability, a number of guide posts 27 are distributed on the support plate 1, and the lower ends of the driving bracket 2 and the support bracket 6 are docked with the corresponding guide posts 27. Of course, after the installation is completed, locking screws can also be added to achieve auxiliary locking. At the same time, a guide slope 28 is distributed on the support plate 1 corresponding to the front end of the pulp collection mechanism 13. In this way, the pulp that slides forward from the pulp collection mechanism 13 can be effectively collected and falls into the placed barrel through the guide slope 28. At the same time, the present invention has installation edges 29 distributed on the support plate 1, and locking holes 30 are opened on the installation edges 29. In this way, it can be more convenient to combine and dock with fruit and vegetable processing equipment and introduce it into the fruit and vegetable automated processing system.

[0067] For some special simplified applications, the mesh drum device 5 originally installed on the adjustable drive mechanism 4 can be replaced with a drum device without a mesh. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the flesh side of the peeled fruit slices each time is facing the mesh drum device 5 installed on the fixed drive mechanism 3.

[0068] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0069] Embodiment 1

[0070] The present invention is connected to the flap-opening mechanism of the fruit and vegetable processing equipment to ensure that the fruits and vegetables processed by the flap-opening mechanism can smoothly enter the peel extrusion gap. At the same time, the present invention is installed at an angle. It is convenient for the separated pulp to roll forward, and it is convenient for it to pass through the inclination angle of the pulp collection mechanism 13 and fall into the barrel under the action of gravity. For some special needs, the supporting plate 1 can be directly tilted, and the inclination angle of the tilted layout is between 5 and 15 degrees, which is adjusted according to the different weights of fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, it is connected to the driving motor to facilitate the motor to drive the gear assembly 17.

[0071] Taking kiwi fruit as an example, first, the kiwi fruit is split into halves through an external petal opening mechanism. Subsequently, the two peeled fruit slices are made to fall downward one by one in sequence through the blocking component provided by the petal opening mechanism, and enter the upper part of the peel squeezing gap. With the guidance of the two mesh roller devices 5 rotating inward, the peeled fruit begins to move from top to bottom. Since the texture of the flesh is relatively soft compared to the peel, it enters the mesh roller device 5 after being squeezed, and the peel just adheres to the outer side of the mesh roller device 5. During the implementation, if there is no petal opening mechanism, manual or other equipment assistance can also be used to achieve the sequential input of the peeled fruit slices after the petals are opened.

[0072] Then, as the mesh drum device 5 rotates, the upper blade 16 begins to contact the adhesion between the flesh and the peel inside the mesh drum device 5, and cuts off the peel and the flesh. Then, the lower blade 14 continues to cut towards the adhesion between the flesh and the peel outside the mesh drum device 5, and the peel and the flesh are completely separated. Moreover, as the mesh drum device 5 continues to rotate, the flesh may contact the upper blade 16 again under the guidance of the mesh drum device 5, and the secondary cutting is completed to meet the needs of auxiliary dicing.

[0073] Afterwards, the peels fall into the waste bin through the peel collecting holes 12. And the pulp is guided by the pulp collecting mechanism 13 and enters the barrel.

[0074] It should be noted that, since the flap opening mechanism can realize the peeled fruit slices to fall downward one by one after being cut, the peeled fruit slices can always keep their flesh side facing one of the two mesh roller devices 5, and no matter whether they fall vertically or horizontally, effective peel and flesh separation can be achieved.

[0075] Embodiment 2

[0076] The grapes need to be skinned and fleshed.

[0077] Since grapes are smaller in size than kiwifruit, it is necessary to adjust the peel squeezing gap to make it narrower so that the grapes can be squeezed appropriately after being split.

[0078] To this end, the adjusting block 9 and the adjusting plate 11 can be adjusted to adjust the final locking position of the oblong hole 22 respectively, so that the fixed driving mechanism 3 is close to the adjustable driving mechanism 4. In this way, the peel extrusion gap formed between the final mesh roller devices 5 is narrowed.

[0079] Afterwards, the specific skin and flesh separation process is similar to that in Example 1 and will not be described in detail here.

[0080] It can be seen from the above textual description and the accompanying drawings that the present invention has the following advantages:

[0081] 1. For fruits and vegetables with softer skin, it has better skin-to-flesh separation effect, and no early freezing and hardening treatment is required.

[0082] 2. The rotational coordination of two mesh roller devices can ensure that one side of the pulp is always aligned with one mesh roller device, and the pulp can be squeezed in and separated without manual turning.

[0083] 3. The peel extrusion gap can be adjusted to meet the processing needs of peeled fruit slices of different thicknesses and to adapt to more conventional fruit and vegetable peel and flesh separation.

[0084] 4. The shape and size of the pulp separation net can be selected according to the current fruit and vegetable categories.

[0085] 5. It can be loaded into fruit and vegetable processing equipment and processed with the petal opening mechanism to improve processing efficiency and meet the needs of automated operation.

[0086] 6. The peeled peel and pulp will be collected separately without the need for secondary sorting.

[0087] 7. The overall structure is simple, easy to manufacture and use.

[0088] In addition, the indicated orientations or positional relationships described in the present invention are all based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or structure referred to must have a specific orientation or be operated with a specific orientation structure. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
