Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fruit peeling technology, and in particular to a low-loss, rapid water chestnut peeling device. Background Technology

[0002] Water chestnuts, also known as horse chestnuts, are the tubers and above-ground parts of the water chestnut plant, which belongs to the genus *Cypripedium* in the family Cyperaceae. Water chestnuts need to be washed and peeled before consumption and food preparation.

[0003] Currently, most water chestnut peeling machines on the market rely on friction to remove the brown outer skin. For example, CN103202519B discloses a water chestnut peeling machine, including a peeling machine with a right support and a left support on both sides. Conveyor belts are installed at an angle on both the right and left supports, with several rows of conveying holes along the conveying direction on the belts. A partition is installed on the support between the conveyor belts. The machine also includes a hopper, the bottom of which is fixed to the upper surface of the partition. A baffle plate of the hopper is located above the conveyor belt. The upper part of the partitions on the right and left supports are respectively equipped with a tip removal structure and a root and embryo peeling structure. A feeding device is provided between the right support and the peeling machine. This invention features a novel structural design. The conveyor belt has conveying holes for orderly transport, removing the tip, root, and irregular parts of the water chestnut embryo. Combined with the peeling machine, the outer wall of the water chestnut is peeled using a grinding surface, achieving 100% peeling efficiency with minimal loss of water chestnut meat quality.

[0004] Because water chestnuts are flat and round in shape with a certain indentation at the bottom, it is difficult to clean the indentation at the bottom when removing the skin by rubbing. Moreover, this method of cleaning results in a significant loss of meat.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a low-loss, rapid water chestnut peeling device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

A cutting mechanism removes the top of the water chestnut. At the outer wall cleaning component, a blade contacts the outer wall of the water chestnut under the action of a compression spring. As the water chestnut rotates, its outer wall is scraped clean. A fixing mechanism then moves the water chestnut below a material-collecting component. Under the pressure of a squeezing block and a sliding block, the cutting plate rotates, and its top retracts inward to remove the pulp. A clamping block fixes the outer wall of the water chestnut. Rotation of the first limiting block, in conjunction with the cutting plate, removes the bottom of the water chestnut, resulting in a complete, skinless water chestnut. The water chestnut is peeled by removing the top, planing the outer wall, and removing the bottom. Compared to existing friction methods, this method is highly efficient, pollution-free, and has a high skin removal rate. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To address the technical issues of water chestnuts having a concave bottom, resulting in significant pulp loss and poor cleaning of the bottom skin when peeling by friction, such as... Figures 1-8 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0031] A low-loss, rapid water chestnut peeling device includes a worktable 1 and a fixing mechanism 2 mounted on the worktable 1. It also includes a top cutting mechanism 3, an outer wall cleaning assembly 4, and a material handling assembly 7 mounted on the worktable 1. The worktable 1 includes a fixed platform 11 and a rotating platform 12 rotatably positioned in the middle of the fixed platform 11.

The fixing mechanism 2 also includes a sliding block 23 that is slidably connected to the outside of the fixing rod 21. The top of the sliding block 23 is provided with a pressing plate 231 corresponding to the bottom of the fixed member 24. The pressing plate 231 is used to cause the three sets of fixed members 24 to rotate and hollow out the concave surface of the bottom of the hoof. The top cutting mechanism 3 is used to cut the top of the hoof. The outer wall cleaning component 4 is used to scrape off the outer skin of the hoof. The material taking component 7 is used to rotate and remove the hoof from the fixing mechanism 2, so that the hoof is separated from its bottom.

[0032] A rotating rod 22 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixed rod 21. The top of the rotating rod 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating platform 222.

A second motor 51 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 5. The second motor 51 corresponds to the end face gear 221. When the fixed mechanism 2 carrying the horseshoe moves to the rear of the fixed platform 11, the drive motor 5 drives the horseshoe to rotate through the second motor 51, the end face gear 221, the rotating rod 22, the rotating platform 222 and the fixed component 24.

[0033] The fixing component 24 includes a rotating shaft 241 rotatably connected in the rotating groove 223, a rotating plate 242 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 241, the bottom inner side of the rotating plate 242 is inclined, a torsion spring 243 is fitted on the rotating shaft 241, the two ends of the torsion spring 243 are fixedly connected to the rotating plate 242 and the inner wall of the rotating groove 223 respectively, the torsion spring 243 is used to reset the fixing component 24, so that the three sets of fixing components 24 are kept in a vertical and parallel state, and a stop block 245 is fixedly installed inside the rotating groove 223 on the inner side of the rotating plate 242.

[0034] A plate 244 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 242. The plate 244 is used to insert into the bottom recess of the hoof to facilitate the rotation of the hoof.

[0035] The top cutting mechanism 3 is installed on one side of the top of the workbench 1. The top cutting mechanism 3 includes a first telescopic cylinder 31 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 11. A circular shell 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic cylinder 31. A first motor 33 and a cutting blade 34 are respectively arranged above and below the interior of the circular shell 32.

A fixed pipe 36 is provided on the top of the fixed platform 11. The fixed pipe 36 is fitted outside the discharge pipe 35. A scraper is installed obliquely inside the circular shell 32. The part cut by the cutting blade 34 enters the discharge pipe 35 and the fixed pipe 36 for discharge under the action of the scraper.

[0036] The outer wall cleaning assembly 4 includes a fixed frame 41 installed at the top rear of the fixed platform 11. An outer frame 42 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed frame 41. The outer frame 42 is flat and round. Scraping mechanisms 43 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the outer frame 42. The scraping mechanism 43 includes a square body 431. A mounting bracket 432 slides inside the square body 431. A blade 434 is installed on the outer side of the mounting bracket 432. A compression spring 433 is installed between the mounting bracket 432 and the square body 431. When the hoof rotates, its outer skin can be scraped off by the scraping mechanism 43.

[0037] The material handling component 7 is installed on the other side of the top of the workbench 1. The top of the fixed platform 11 is located below the material handling component 7 and the pressing block 6 is installed. The cross-section of the pressing block 6 and the sliding block 23 are both right-angled triangles. The pressing block 6 is used to block the sliding block 23 and make the pressing plate 231 press the rotating plate 242 upward, causing the angle between the rotating plate 242 and the insert 244 to change, thus digging out the bottom of the horseshoe.

[0038] The material handling assembly 7 includes a moving mechanism 71 mounted on the top of the fixed platform 11, a rotating mechanism 72 located on one side of the moving mechanism 71, and a clamping mechanism 73 located below the rotating mechanism 72. The moving mechanism 71 includes a fixed base 711 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 11. A second telescopic cylinder 713 is rotatably connected inside the fixed base 711. The output end of the second telescopic cylinder 713 is fixedly connected to a first housing 714. A servo motor 712 is mounted on the bottom of the fixed base 711. The output end of the servo motor 712 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second telescopic cylinder 713. A collection box 13 corresponding to the material handling assembly 7 is mounted on one side of the fixed platform 11. The rotating mechanism 72 includes a second outer shell 721 that rotates below the first housing 714. The rotating mechanism 72 also includes a fourth motor 722 disposed inside the first housing 714. The fourth motor 722 is used to drive the second outer shell 721 to rotate.

[0039] The clamping mechanism 73 is used to fix the horseshoe. The clamping mechanism 73 includes a rotating disk 731 movably connected to the middle of the second housing 721. First limiting blocks 732 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the rotating disk 731. The clamping mechanism 73 also includes a second limiting block 734 laterally slidably connected to the lower part of the interior of the second housing 721. Two sets of second limiting blocks 734 are provided and fit against the inner side of the first limiting blocks 732. The cross-sections of the first limiting blocks 732 and the second limiting blocks 734 are both trapezoidal. The clamping mechanism 73 also includes a third telescopic gas fixedly connected inside the first housing 714. The output end of the third telescopic cylinder 735 passes through the second outer shell 721 and is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 731. The rotation of the servo motor 712, in conjunction with the extension and retraction of the second telescopic cylinder 713, allows the clamping block 733 to be located on the outside of the horseshoe. The third telescopic cylinder 735 drives the rotating disk 731 and the first limiting block 732 to move upward, so that the two sets of clamping blocks 733 can clamp the horseshoe. Subsequently, the fourth motor 722 drives the rotating disk 731 to rotate, which in turn allows the horseshoe to rotate. When the horseshoe rotates, the top of the fixing component 24 retracts, which can hollow out the bottom of the horseshoe and disengage the horseshoe from the fixing mechanism 2.

[0040] Specifically, a feeding operation is performed in front of the workbench 1 to remove any remaining pulp between the three sets of inserts 244. Then, the washed water chestnuts are inserted downwards onto the inserts 244. Subsequently, the fixing mechanism 2, carrying the water chestnuts, moves them under the rotation of the rotary table 12 to below the top cutting mechanism 3. The top cutting mechanism 3 cuts off the top of the water chestnut. When the fixing mechanism 2 moves to the outer wall cleaning component 4, the blade 434 contacts the outer wall of the water chestnut under the action of the compression spring 433. Under the action of the drive motor 5, the water chestnut rotates, and its outer wall is scraped clean. The rear fixing mechanism 2 moves the cleaned water chestnut to below the material taking component 7. Under the action of the squeezing block 6 squeezing the sliding block 23, the insert 244 rotates and the top of the insert 244 retracts inward to dig out the pulp. When it is below the material taking component 7, the clamping block 733 fixes the outer wall of the water chestnut. The first limiting block 732 rotates in conjunction with the insert 244 to dig out the bottom of the water chestnut, thus obtaining a complete and skinless water chestnut. Then, under the action of the second telescopic cylinder 713 extending and the servo motor 712 rotating, the water chestnut falls into the collection box 13.
