[0024] Water chestnut is a plant of the Cyperaceae family and the genus Eriobotrya. It is one of China's specialty vegetables. It is usually eaten as an underground enlarged bulb and can be eaten raw, cooked or used in dishes. Because its shape is similar to a water chestnut, water chestnut is usually called "water chestnut" in Guangdong and other places in my country.
[0025] Water chestnuts need to be peeled before consumption. Generally, water chestnuts are peeled manually, but this is not suitable for a large number of water chestnuts. With the popularization of agricultural mechanization and automation technology, mechanized peeling equipment has emerged to improve processing efficiency and consistency.
[0026] The mechanized peeling equipment in the related art, such as the one disclosed in the patent with publication number CN118383531A and the patent name "An automatic peeling machine for water chestnut processing", has multiple workstations in the working mechanism, and the water chestnuts are peeled at the same time at the multiple workstations. However, the top, side and bottom surfaces of the water chestnuts are removed simultaneously at one workstation. In this way, during the peeling process, force is applied to the water chestnuts at multiple positions at the same time, which makes it difficult to fix the water chestnuts, resulting in poor peeling quality, and the bottom cannot be completely removed due to the inserted fixation.
[0027] The invention provides a multi-station water chestnut peeling machine.
[0028] See also Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the multi-station water chestnut peeling machine comprises: The base 10 is rotatably provided with a supporting chassis 20; A plurality of fixed turntables 30 are disposed at intervals on the surface of the supporting chassis 20 and arranged along the edge of the supporting chassis 20; The cutting structure 40 is disposed on the base 10 and along the edge of the supporting chassis 20. The cutting structure 40 is disposed facing the processing station of the fixed turntable 30. The cutting structure 40 is used to independently process the workpiece to be processed at each processing station; Among them, multiple processing stations correspond to the peeling and cutting steps respectively, and the processing stations are provided with plug-in parts, and the workpiece to be processed is plugged into the plug-in parts. The cutting structure 40 cuts the plug-in position of the workpiece away from the fixed turntable 30 to remove the plug-in marks.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 10 includes a base frame 12 and an operating platform 13 . The base frame 12 is connected to the operating platform 13 . The supporting chassis 20 is arranged on the surface of the operating platform 13 . A first power device 11 is also provided on the base frame 12 . The first power device 11 is connected to the supporting chassis 20 .
[0030] It can be understood that the operating platform is a water chestnut peeling working platform.
[0031] Rollers are provided on the bottom surface of the base frame 12 to facilitate the transfer of the operating platform 13 in the operating environment.
[0032] At the same time, a friction portion is also provided on the bottom surface of the chassis 12. When the chassis 12 moves to a predetermined position, the friction portion moves and contacts the surface of the predetermined position to prevent the movement of the chassis 12 from affecting the normal peeling operation.
[0033] It is understandable that if Figure 2 As shown, the first power device 11 provides rotation for the supporting chassis 20 on the operating platform. When the supporting chassis 20 rotates on the operating platform 13, it drives multiple fixed turntables 30 to move on the operating platform 13, so that the fixed turntables 30 can flow on one side of different parts of the cutting mechanism 40, thereby facilitating the separate operation of peeling water chestnuts at the processing station.
[0034] Furthermore, an operating device 14 is provided on the surface of the operating platform 13 , and the first power device 11 , the fixed turntable 30 and the cutting structure 40 are all connected to the operating device 14 .
[0035] It can be understood that the operating interface on the operating device 14 is convenient for the operator to directly operate it, so that the first power device 11, the fixed turntable 30 and the cutting structure 40 perform operations in sequence and orderly to complete the removal of the outer skin of the water chestnut.
[0036] like Figure 2As shown, the cutting structure 40 is arranged on the surface of the base 10 along the edge of the supporting chassis 20 , and a portion of the cutting structure 40 is close to one side of each fixed turntable 30 .
[0037] It should be noted that when peeling the water chestnuts, the top, side and bottom surfaces need to be peeled. At the same time, the side surfaces can also be divided into the upper side, middle side and lower side for peeling respectively.
[0038] It can be understood that multiple fixed turntables 30 are set, and a partial cutting structure 40 is set on one side of each fixed turntable 30. Therefore, when one fixed turntable 30 completes the peeling operation on one side, after the remaining fixed turntables 30 complete the corresponding operation, the support chassis 20 rotates, and the positions of multiple fixed turntables 30 are replaced according to the rotation direction of the support chassis 20, so as to facilitate the orderly progress of the remaining peeling operations.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixed turntable 30 includes a fixed platform 32 and a second power device 31. The fixed platform 32 is arranged on the surface of the supporting chassis 20, and the plug-in part is rotatably arranged on the surface of the fixed platform 32. The second power device 31 is installed on the side of the fixed platform 32 facing the center of the supporting chassis 20. The second power device 31 is connected to the plug-in part so that the second power device 31 drives the plug-in part to rotate on the surface of the fixed platform 32.
[0040] It is understandable that when the second power device 31 outputs power, the plug-in portion rotates on the surface of the fixed platform 32 so that the workpiece fixed on the plug-in portion can rotate synchronously to facilitate peeling with the cutting structure 40.
[0041] In one embodiment, the plug-in portion includes a fixed portion, a rotating portion 34 and a plurality of plug-in components 33. The fixed portion is arranged on the surface of the fixed platform 32, the rotating portion 34 is installed on the fixed platform 32, and the rotating portion 34 is connected to the second power device 31. A plurality of plug-in components 33 are arranged at intervals on the surface of the rotating portion 34.
[0042] It is understandable that when the water chestnut needs to be fixed on the rotating part 34 , the water chestnut is plugged into multiple connectors 33 to ensure the stability of the water chestnut fixed on the fixing platform 32 .
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of connectors 33 are arranged divergently from the center of the rotating portion 34 toward the edge of the rotating portion 34 , thereby facilitating the fixation of the water chestnut on the rotating portion 34 .
[0044] Preferably, the connector 33 is a connector blade.
[0045] Generally, before peeling, there is a protruding bud on the surface of the water chestnut, and the presence of the bud makes it difficult to fix the water chestnut on the rotating part 34.
[0046] To this end, a plug hole 35 is opened on the rotating part 34. When the water chestnut is fixed on the rotating part 34, the water chestnut bud is plugged into the plug hole 35, and the water chestnut surface around the bud is plugged into the plug 33, thereby improving the fixing quality of the water chestnut.
[0047] In order to prevent the inserted connector 33 from interfering with the cutting process when the bottom of the water chestnut is cut and peeled, the cutting structure 40 cuts at the side of the inserting position of the workpiece to be processed away from the fixed turntable 30.
[0048] It can be understood that the cutting structure 40 removes the plug-in position of the connector 33 while peeling the bottom of the water chestnut, thereby preventing the connector 33 from remaining on the bottom wall of the water chestnut and affecting the appearance of the peeled water chestnut.
[0049] The technical solution of the present invention is to arrange multiple fixed turntables 30 at the edge of the supporting chassis 20, and the cutting structures 40 on the surface of the base 10 are partially set close to the fixed turntable 30. When the multiple fixed turntables 30 are driven by the supporting chassis 20 to move to the side of each part relative to the cutting structure 40, the cutting structure 40 performs independent peeling operations on different parts of the workpiece to be processed at each processing station. By performing the peeling of the water chestnuts in steps, it is avoided that peeling is performed in multiple places on the water chestnuts at the same time, which affects the stability of the water chestnuts during peeling, thereby ensuring the peeling quality of the water chestnuts. Moreover, the peeling is performed in steps in an assembly line manner, so that each process is coordinated and carried out in an orderly manner, further improving the processing efficiency.
[0050] In one embodiment, the cutting structure 40 includes a side cutting unit 41, a top cutting unit 43 and a bottom cutting unit 42. The side cutting unit 41, the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 are arranged in order on one side of each fixed turntable 30 in the order of side cutting, top cutting and bottom cutting, and are all independently operated.
[0051] When peeling water chestnuts, it is necessary to cut the side, top and bottom surfaces of the water chestnuts. However, when peeling the water chestnuts on multiple sides at the same time, mutual interference is likely to occur, which affects the peeling quality and efficiency.
[0052] It is understandable that if Figure 3 As shown, the side cutting unit 41 , the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 respectively peel different parts of the workpiece, and the side cutting unit 41 , the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 are evenly arranged along the rotation direction of the supporting chassis 20 .
[0053] It can be understood that in the process of peeling the water chestnuts, the peeling operation is carried out in the order of the side, top and bottom surfaces, that is, the side of the water chestnut is peeled by the side cutting unit 41, and the supporting chassis 20 is rotated so that the workpiece to be processed that has completed the side peeling is moved to the side of the top surface cutting unit 43, and the top surface of the water chestnut is peeled by the top surface cutting unit 43, and then the supporting chassis 20 is rotated again so that the workpiece to be processed that has completed the top surface cutting is moved to the side of the bottom cutting unit 42, and the bottom of the water chestnut is peeled by the bottom cutting unit 42, and then the water chestnut is transferred after the bottom is peeled, and the peeled water chestnut is output.
[0054] It should be noted that the sizes of the water chestnuts are very different, and the shapes are also different. Therefore, if power is output at the same time to peel the water chestnuts, the peeling efficiency and quality of the water chestnuts will be different, affecting the peeling efficiency of the water chestnuts.
[0055] To this end, the side cutting unit 41 , the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 complete the processing independently to avoid interference between the units.
[0056] Even if the side cutting unit 41 completes the peeling of the side of the workpiece to be processed on the processing station, but the top surface cutting unit 43 has not completed the peeling of the top surface of the workpiece to be processed, it is necessary to wait until the peeling operation of the top surface cutting unit 43 is completed and the rest have completed the peeling of the side of the water chestnuts on the processing station before the supporting chassis 20 is rotated to update the workpiece to be processed corresponding to the side cutting unit 41, the top surface cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42, so that the water chestnuts on multiple fixed turntables 30 pass through the side cutting unit 41, the top surface cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 in turn to complete the step-by-step process of peeling in an orderly manner, thereby ensuring the quality of peeling.
[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom cutting unit 42 includes a power unit 423, a power platform 422, a cutting unit 424 and a control unit 421. The power unit 423 is connected to the support structure 50. The power platform 422 is connected to the power unit 423 so that the power platform 422 can be translated. The control unit 421 is connected to the power platform 422, and the cutting unit 424 is connected to the control unit 421.
[0058] It can be understood that the power output of the power unit 423 drives the power platform 422 to move, and at the same time the control unit 421 drives the cutting unit 424 to move, cooperating with the power platform 422, so as to facilitate the cutting of the bottom of the workpiece to be processed.
[0059] In one embodiment, a first cutting portion 417 is provided on the portion of the side cutting unit 41 facing the processing station, and a first edge portion 4173 of the first cutting portion 417 faces the side of the workpiece to be processed; A through hole 4172 is defined in the first cutting portion 417 . The through hole 4172 opens at a side surface of the first cutting portion 417 . The first blade 4173 is disposed at the opening at the side surface of the first cutting portion 417 .
[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, the side cutting unit 41 includes a first base 412 , a first telescopic unit 413 , a first sliding seat 415 and a first cutting portion 417 .
[0061] A first telescopic unit 413 is provided on the side of the first base 412, and a first sliding seat 415 is slidably connected to the top surface of the first base 412. A portion of the first sliding seat 415 extends to the first telescopic unit 413 and is connected to the first telescopic unit 413. The first cutting portion 417 is connected to the surface of the first sliding seat 415.
[0062] It can be understood that when the fixed turntable 30 moves to one side of the side cutting unit 41, the first telescopic unit 413 drives the first sliding seat 415 to move on the first base 412, so that the first cutting part 417 approaches and contacts the workpiece to be processed. When the fixed turntable 30 drives the workpiece to be processed to rotate, the first cutting part 417 cooperates to realize the peeling of the water chestnut.
[0063] It should be noted that the first telescopic unit 413 is an electric telescopic component.
[0064] At the same time, during processing, since the sizes of water chestnuts are different, the distance that the first cutting portion 417 is driven to move is fixed, so that the first cutting portion 417 cannot adapt to different water chestnuts.
[0065] To this end, the side cutting unit 41 includes a fixing member 414, a second sliding seat 416 and a second spring plunger portion 411. The fixing member 414 is fixed to the top surface of the first sliding seat 415, and the second sliding seat 416 is slidably arranged on the top surface of the first sliding seat 415. The second spring plunger portion 411 is penetrated by the fixing member 414 to support the second spring plunger portion 411, and one end of the second spring plunger portion 411 is also connected to the second sliding seat 416. The side of the second sliding seat 416 facing away from the fixing member 414 is connected to the first cutting portion 417.
[0066] It is understandable that when the first cutting portion 417 contacts the workpiece to be processed, due to the presence of the second spring plunger portion 411 , the first cutting portion 417 can abut against the side surface of the workpiece to be processed, ensuring normal processing.
[0067] like Figure 4As shown, the first cutting part 417 includes a cutting part body 4171, a through hole 4172 and a first blade portion 4173. The cutting part body 4171 is connected to the side of the second sliding seat 416, the through hole 4172 is penetrated by the cutting part body 4171, the first blade portion 4173 is arranged on the side of the cutting part body 4171, the side of the through hole 4172 is open, and the first blade portion 4173 is arranged at the side opening of the through hole 4172.
[0068] It can be understood that when the first cutting portion 417 contacts the side of the workpiece to be processed, the first blade portion 4173 abuts against the side of the workpiece to be processed. When the workpiece to be processed rotates, the first blade portion 4173 begins to peel the workpiece. At this time, the removed skin enters the through hole 4172 along the opening of the through hole 4172, so as to avoid the skin remaining on the water chestnut.
[0069] In one embodiment, the side cutting unit 41 includes a first unit portion, a second unit portion, and a third unit portion, and the first unit portion, the second unit portion, and the third unit portion are respectively disposed on one side of the plurality of fixed turntables 30; The first unit portion faces the side of the workpiece to be processed at a first angle, the second unit portion faces the side of the workpiece to be processed at a second angle, and the third unit portion faces the side of the workpiece to be processed at a third angle.
[0070] It is understandable that if Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The side cutting unit 41 includes a first unit part, a second unit part and a third unit part. The first unit part, the second unit part and the third unit part respectively complete the peeling of different sides of the water chestnut. Through the detailed differentiated side cutting, the peeling of the side of the water chestnut can be completed more accurately and carefully.
[0071] In one embodiment, by adjusting the fixed angles of the first unit, the second unit and the third unit, the first unit, the second unit and the third unit can process different sides of the workpiece, thereby refining the peeling process.
[0072] In one embodiment, the top surface cutting unit 43 includes a first driving portion 435 and a second cutting portion 434. The first driving portion 435 is mounted on the base 10, and the first driving portion 435 is arranged opposite the base 10. The output end of the first driving portion 435 is connected to the first spring plunger portion 433, and the first spring plunger portion is connected to the second cutting portion 434, and the second cutting portion 434 faces the surface of the workpiece to be processed away from the base 10.
[0073] Figure 6 As shown, when the fixed turntable 30 rotates to the lower side of the top surface cutting unit 43 , the second cutting portion 434 is opposite to the processing station on the fixed turntable 30 .
[0074] In this way, when the fixed turntable 30 moves to the lower side of the top surface cutting unit 43, the second cutting portion 434 is facing the workpiece to be processed. At this time, the first driving portion 435 drives the first spring plunger portion 433 to move, so that the second cutting portion 434 abuts against the top of the workpiece to be processed. In this way, during the rotation of the workpiece to be processed, the second cutting portion 434 can remove the top of the workpiece to be processed.
[0075] It should be noted that the first driving portion 435 is an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic driving structure, so as to realize the lifting and lowering of the first spring plunger portion 433 .
[0076] Furthermore, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the first driving part 435 and the first spring plunger part 433, the connecting platform 431 is connected to the output end of the first driving part 435, the side of the connecting platform 431 is connected to the first spring plunger part 433, and the output end of the first spring plunger part 433 is facing the top surface of the workpiece to be processed.
[0077] It can be understood that the presence of the connecting platform 431 allows for a smooth transition in the connection between the first spring plunger portion 433 and the output end of the first driving portion 435 , thereby ensuring transmission stability.
[0078] It should be noted that the second cutting portion 434 includes a second base and a second blade. The second base is connected to one end of the first spring plunger portion 433. The second blade is connected to the surface of the second base away from the first spring plunger portion 433, and the second blade is arranged toward the workpiece.
[0079] It can be understood that the second blade portion abuts against the workpiece to be processed so that the second blade portion is embedded in the workpiece to be processed. During the rotation of the workpiece to be processed, the second blade portion rotates to complete the removal of the skin on the top surface of the workpiece to be processed.
[0080] Furthermore, there are multiple second blades, which are centered at the center of the second base and spaced apart and divergently arranged toward the edge of the second base, and the second blades are inclined.
[0081] It can be understood that the provision of multiple second blades enables the multiple blades to simultaneously complete the epidermis removal, and the second blades are arranged at an angle to facilitate the guidance of the removed epidermis.
[0082] Preferably, the second cutting edge extends in a curved shape in cross section, that is, the second cutting edge does not extend in a straight line toward the edge of the second base, thereby ensuring high efficiency of peeling.
[0083] In one embodiment, a support structure 50 is provided on the surface of the base 10 , and the support structure 50 surrounds the support chassis. The cutting structure 40 is connected to the support structure 50 so that the side cutting unit 41 , the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 face the corresponding fixed turntable 30 .
[0084] like Figure 1 As shown, the support structure 50 is mounted on the base 10 , that is, a frame structure covering the support chassis 20 is provided on the surface of the base 10 .
[0085] It can be understood that the side cutting unit 41, the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 are all arranged on the side of the support structure 50, so that the side cutting unit 41, the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42 can all accurately face the processing station of the fixed turntable.
[0086] In order to adjust the orientations of the first unit, the second unit and the third unit toward different fixed turntables 30, support positions are respectively set at the connection positions of the first unit, the second unit and the third unit on the support structure 50, and the first unit, the second unit and the third unit are all rotatably connected to the support positions.
[0087] Furthermore, the first unit part, the second unit part and the third unit part can be connected to the support position by using bolts and nuts, so that the angle can be adjusted conveniently and quickly.
[0088] In one embodiment, a plurality of limiting structures 80 are provided on the support structure 50, and the plurality of limiting structures 80 are all connected to the support structure 50 and arranged toward the fixed turntable 30. A support structure 50 is provided on one side of the side cutting unit 41, the top cutting unit 43 and the bottom cutting unit 42, so that the limiting structures 80 can abut against the workpiece during cutting.
[0089] It should be noted that, during the process of side peeling of the workpiece, the first unit, the second unit and the third unit will exert external force on the workpiece, thereby affecting the stability of the workpiece at the processing station.
[0090] To this end, a limiting structure 80 is provided on the supporting structure 50 , facing the fixed turntable 30 .
[0091] When the fixed turntable 30 moves to one side of the first unit, the second unit or the third unit, the first unit, the second unit or the third unit moves to abut the workpiece after the limiting structure 80 abuts the workpiece.
[0092] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the limiting structure 80 includes a second driving portion 81, a third spring plunger portion 82 and a first abutting portion 83. The second driving portion 81 is connected to the supporting structure 50 so that the second driving portion 81 is mounted on the supporting chassis 20. The output end of the second driving portion 81 is connected to the third spring plunger portion 82, and the output end of the third spring plunger portion 82 is connected to the first abutting portion 83.
[0093] It can be understood that when it is necessary to make the limiting structure 80 abut against the workpiece to be processed, the second driving portion 81 drives the third spring plunger portion 82 to move, thereby making the first abutting portion 83 abut against the workpiece to be processed. At the same time, even if the sizes of the workpiece to be processed are different, due to the presence of the third spring plunger portion 82, the first abutting portion 83 can abut against the workpiece to be processed, thereby improving the adaptability of the limiting structure 80.
[0094] In order to prevent the first abutting portion 83 from affecting the first unit portion, the second unit portion or the third unit portion when abutting against the workpiece, the first abutting portion 83 abuts against the top center of the workpiece.
[0095] In one embodiment, a pressing structure 60 is provided on the support structure 50 , a fixed turntable 30 is a loading station, and the pressing structure 60 is arranged opposite to the loading station so that the pressing structure 60 drives the workpiece to be processed to be plugged into the plug-in portion.
[0096] It should be noted that a fixed turntable 30 supporting the chassis 20 is a loading station, that is, used for placing water chestnuts.
[0097] In order to fix the workpiece to be processed on the loading station, after the workpiece to be processed is placed on the loading station, the pressing structure 60 works to apply pressure to the workpiece to be processed so that the workpiece to be processed is plugged into the plug-in portion.
[0098] Furthermore, if Figure 5 As shown, the pressing structure 60 includes a third driving portion 61 and a second abutting portion 62 , and the second abutting portion 62 is connected to the output end of the third driving portion 61 .
[0099] It can be understood that the third driving portion 61 outputs power to drive the second abutting portion 62 to move closer to or away from the workpiece to be processed, thereby pressing the workpiece to be processed downward.
[0100] In one embodiment, the third driving portion 61 is an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic driving structure to drive the movement of the second abutting portion 62 .
[0101] In another embodiment, since the sizes of the workpieces to be processed are different, in order to enable the second abutting portion 62 to be inserted into the inserting portion, the second abutting portion 62 is flat and adaptable to the sizes of the workpieces to be processed.
[0102] In one embodiment, a clamping structure 70 is mounted on the support structure 50 , and the clamping structure 70 faces the processing station of the fixed turntable 30 , and is used to clamp the workpiece to be processed and restrict the workpiece to be processed when the bottom cutting unit 42 is cutting; The clamping structure 70 is slidably disposed on the supporting structure 50 to facilitate unloading of workpieces to be processed.
[0103] like Figure 7As shown, the clamping structure 70 is connected to the supporting structure 50 , and the clamping structure 70 is disposed on the upper side of the fixed turntable 30 .
[0104] It is understandable that when the fixed turntable 30 moves to the lower side of the clamping structure 70, the clamping structure 70 moves and clamps the workpiece on the processing station, thereby preventing the stability of the workpiece when the bottom cutting unit 42 cuts the bottom of the workpiece.
[0105] Furthermore, the clamping structure 70 includes a fourth driving part 73, a clamping platform 75 and at least two clamping parts 76. The fourth driving part 73 is arranged on the supporting structure 50, the supporting platform 75 is connected to the output end of the fourth driving part 73, and multiple clamping parts 76 are connected to the side of the clamping platform 75 away from the fourth driving part 73.
[0106] It is understandable that when the workpiece needs to be clamped, the fourth driving part 73 outputs power to drive the clamping platform 75 to move, so that the multiple clamping parts 76 move away from each other and then approach each other, thereby completing the clamping of the workpiece.
[0107] In one embodiment, the support structure 50 is further provided with a sliding rail 71 . The sliding rail 71 is provided with a moving portion 72 . The moving portion 72 is connected to the sliding rail 71 , and the fourth driving portion 73 is connected to the moving portion 72 .
[0108] It can be understood that after the bottom cutting unit 42 completes cutting of the bottom of the workpiece, the moving portion 72 moves on the sliding guide rail 71 to send the peeled water chestnuts away from the processing station.
[0109] In another embodiment, the sliding guide rail 71 is an electric guide rail, or a power unit is provided on the moving portion 72 to facilitate the movement of the moving portion 72 on the sliding guide rail 71 .
[0110] In one embodiment, the clamping structure 70 includes at least two clamping portions 76 , wherein the plurality of clamping portions 76 are disposed opposite to each other and the plurality of clamping portions 76 enclose and form a clamping space 74 ; The clamping portion 76 clamps the workpiece to be processed and is close to the bottom cutting position.
[0111] It is understandable that a power unit is provided on the clamping platform 75 , and the power unit provides power for the movement of the clamping portion 76 on the clamping platform 75 .
[0112] It can be understood that the multiple clamping parts 76 are close to or far away from each other to facilitate the clamping or release of the workpiece to be processed.
[0113] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the present invention description and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
