[0002] In the food processing industry, potatoes are a common ingredient, and the demand for processing them has always existed. In the early days, potato washing, peeling, and slicing relied mostly on manual labor, which was inefficient and resulted in inconsistent quality. With the development of industrialization, some simple washing and peeling equipment emerged, but their functions were limited and could not meet the needs of mass production. To improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs, the integrated potato washing, peeling, and slicing machine was developed. It integrates multiple processing steps into one, greatly improving the efficiency and standardization of potato processing. It has gradually been widely used in catering companies, food processing plants, and other industries, promoting the development of the entire potato processing field.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a potato washing, peeling and slicing integrated machine, comprising a housing 1, a central rod 102 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 via bearings, a slicing blade 101 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central rod 102, a motor 104 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a belt 103 drivingly connected to the outer wall of the central rod 102, and a supply box 105 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 1, and further comprising:

[0031] Cleaning mechanism 2 is located inside housing 1. Cleaning mechanism 2 includes a support sleeve 204, with a guide groove 209 on its outer wall. An isolation ring 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 204. A support rod 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the isolation ring 205. A guide wheel 207 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support rod 203 via a bearing. A nozzle 208 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the isolation ring 205. A spring 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod 203, with the other end of the spring 206 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 204. A buffer chamber 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the isolation ring 205. A fixed supply pipe 201 is connected to the potato. A rotating mechanism 3 is installed on the outer wall of the isolation ring 205. A guide wheel 207 guides the potato, and a support rod 203 supports the guide wheel 207, allowing it to contact the potato skin and rotate along the skin. Simultaneously, the guide wheel 207 guides and transports the potato at an angle. A pump is built into the supply box 105 to pressurize steam and water, which is then fed into the buffer chamber 202 through the supply pipe 201 and sprayed out through the nozzle 208 to wash and peel the potato. When the potato washing, peeling, and slicing integrated machine is put into use, the potato is fed into the support... Inside the sleeve 204, the guide wheel 207 contacts the potato skin, causing the support rod 203 to compress the spring 206, which slides on the inner wall of the isolation ring 205 and enters the rotating mechanism 3. The motor 104 is then started, driving the central rod 102 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 3, connected by a belt 103, rotates within the support sleeve 204, causing the potato to rotate. During this rotation, the potato is cleaned by high-pressure steam sprayed from the nozzle 208, removing impurities such as black spots and buds from the potato surface and quickly ripening the skin for easier peeling. After cleaning, the potato is rotated... Mechanism 3 and guide wheel 207 continuously convey the potatoes into the left side of the cleaning mechanism 2. High-pressure water sprayed from nozzle 208 peels the potatoes, cleaning the cooked parts of the potato skin and removing the softened parts of the potatoes. After the skin is removed, the potatoes are continuously guided by the rotating mechanism 3 and guide wheel 207 and sent out of the support sleeve 204. The central rod 102 drives the slicing blade 101 to rotate and slice the potatoes. After the potatoes with cooked skin are cleaned, the potato skin is softened, so that no fragments are produced when the potatoes come into contact with the slicing blade 101 during slicing, thus maintaining the integrity of the potato slices.

[0032] There are two sets of cleaning mechanisms 2, which are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 1 with the center line of the housing 1 as the axis of symmetry. The output end of the motor 104 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the center rod 102. The cleaning mechanism 2 located on the left side of the housing 1 peels the potatoes with high-pressure water, while the cleaning mechanism 2 located on the right side of the housing 1 cleans the potatoes with high-pressure steam. The cleaning mechanism 2 located on the right side of the housing is used to clean the potato skin with high-pressure steam. The high-pressure steam sprayed through the nozzle 208 cleans the potatoes, removes impurities such as black spots and buds on the potato surface, and quickly ripens the potato skin for easy peeling. The cleaning mechanism 2 located on the left side of the housing 1 is used to peel the potatoes with high-pressure water. After cleaning, the potatoes are continuously conveyed by the rotating mechanism 3 and the guide wheel 207 and enter the left side of the cleaning mechanism 2. The high-pressure water sprayed through the nozzle 208 peels the potatoes, removes the ripened parts of the potato skin, and removes the softened parts of the potatoes with high-pressure water.

[0033] The bottom of the supply pipe 201 is fixedly connected to the inside of the supply box 105. The outer wall of the nozzle 208 passes through the inner wall of the isolation ring 205 and is fixedly connected to the inside of the buffer chamber 202. The outer wall of the support rod 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 209. The nozzle 208 is used to spray the cleaning agent to clean and peel the potatoes. The potatoes are guided by the rotating mechanism 3 and the guide wheel 207 and conveyed inside the support sleeve 204. The potatoes are rotated during the conveying process. The nozzle 208 located on the right side of the cleaning mechanism 2 sprays high-pressure steam to clean the potato skin, cleans the black spots and irregular parts of the sprouts on the potato skin, and cooks the potato skin at the same time. The rotating mechanism 3 and the guide wheel 207 continuously convey the potatoes to the cleaning mechanism 2 located on the left side. The nozzle 208 sprays high-pressure water to clean the potato skin.

[0034] The outer wall of the support sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. There are two sets of isolation rings 205. The two sets of isolation rings 205 are symmetrically arranged inside the support sleeve 204 with the center line of the supply pipe 201 as the axis of symmetry. The support sleeve 204 is used to support the isolation rings 205. The isolation ring 205 on the side closer to the support sleeve 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support sleeve 204, so that the support sleeve 204 supports the isolation ring 205. The isolation ring 205 on the side farther away from the support sleeve 204 is supported by the support rod 203 through the guide groove 209, so that the support rod 203 supports the isolation ring 205 and limits the isolation ring 205 to prevent the rotating mechanism 3 from driving the isolation ring 205 to rotate synchronously during the rotation.

[0035] Example 2, based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 8The present invention provides a technical solution: the rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating sleeve 301, a second support sleeve 302 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 301, a third guide groove 305 and a separation groove 306 formed on the inner wall of the second support sleeve 302, a second guide groove 303 formed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 301, and a guide sleeve 304 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 301. The separation groove 306 is used to separate the potato skin. The rotating sleeve 301 is connected to the inner wall of the belt 103 via the second guide groove 303, causing the rotating sleeve 301 to rotate on the outer wall of the isolation ring 205. During the rotation, the rotating sleeve 301 contacts the potato skin via a second guide wheel 309, and the second guide wheel 309 is squeezed by a second spring 308. The sliding rod 307 slides on the wall of the guide groove 305, causing the guide wheel 309 to squeeze the potato skin. The guide wheel 309 generates friction with the potato skin through the guide ring 310, causing the potato to rotate inside the washing mechanism 2. During the rotation, the potato is squeezed by the spring 206 to make the guide wheel 207 contact the potato skin and roll along the outer wall of the potato skin. The guide wheel 207 is inclined in the washing mechanism 2, so that the guide wheel 207 guides the potato. The potato is transported in the washing mechanism 2 while rotating. The impurities separated during the washing and peeling process are washed by steam and high-pressure water and discharged from the separation tank 306.

[0036] A sliding rod 307 is slidably connected to the wall of guide groove 305. A spring 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of sliding rod 307. The other end of spring 308 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of rotating sleeve 301. A guide wheel 309 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of sliding rod 307 via a rotating shaft. A guide ring 310 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of guide wheel 309. Guide wheel 309 is used to guide the potato, sliding rod 307 is used to support guide wheel 309, and guide ring 310 is used to prevent guide wheel 309 from interfering with the potato. When the potato skin becomes slippery, the rotating sleeve 301 contacts the potato skin through the second guide wheel 309 during rotation. The second guide wheel 309 slides on the wall of the guide groove 305 by the spring 308 pressing the sliding rod 307, so that the second guide wheel 309 can adapt to the irregular skin of the potato. It also generates friction with the potato skin through the guide ring 310, which drives the potato to rotate inside the washing mechanism 2. During the process of the potato being guided and conveyed by the first guide wheel 207, the second guide wheel 309 rolls along the potato skin.

[0037] The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 301 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the isolation ring 205 through a bearing. The groove wall of the second guide groove 303 is connected to the inner wall of the belt 103 for transmission. The opening position of the third guide groove 305 matches the position of the guide sleeve 304. The third guide groove 305 is used to guide the sliding rod 307. When the second guide wheel 309 drives the potato to rotate in the washing mechanism 2 through the support of the sliding rod 307, the sliding rod 307 is supported by the compression of the second guide wheel 309 through the second spring 308. At the same time, the sliding rod 307 is limited by the guide sleeve 304 to prevent the sliding rod 307 from deviating.

[0038] The outer wall of the sliding rod 307 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide sleeve 304. There are three sets of sliding rods 307, guide wheels 309, and springs 308. The three sets of sliding rods 307, guide wheels 309, and springs 308 are equidistantly arrayed inside the guide groove 305 with the center line of the rotating sleeve 301 as the rotation axis. The guide sleeve 304 is used to guide the sliding rod 307. The guide sleeve 304 guides the sliding rod 307 and limits the sliding rod 307. The sliding rod 307 is supported by the springs 308, so that the guide wheels 309 come into contact with the potato skin and drive the potato to rotate inside the washing mechanism 2 for washing and peeling.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
