Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an edge trimming device, in particular to an aloe edge trimming device, and belongs to the technical field of mechanical design and manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] Most of the nutrients in aloe vera exist in the leaf flesh. In order to process aloe vera products, it is necessary to first cut off the sides of the fresh aloe vera leaves, and then it is convenient to remove the upper and lower epidermis, and finally obtain the aloe vera flesh in the leaves. The existing trimming and peeling of fresh aloe vera leaves are mainly completed by manual and mechanical methods. The manual method requires workers to hold a cutter to cut off the sides and upper and lower epidermis of the fresh aloe vera leaves one by one. The whole process is not only time-consuming and laborious, inefficient, but also requires high technical requirements for workers. Once negligence will cause unnecessary damage to the workers. Although the mechanical method has a higher peeling efficiency, it also has problems such as complex equipment structure and inconvenient later maintenance. In addition, the existing peeling machine has a large cutting thickness, resulting in a large amount of waste of aloe vera leaf flesh. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the problems of low efficiency, inconvenient maintenance, severe loss, etc. in the existing manual and mechanical methods of aloe peeling, the utility model provides an aloe edge trimming device.

[0004] The utility model is completed through the following technical scheme: an aloe vera trimming device, comprising a frame, a conveyor arranged on the frame, characterized in that trimming knives are symmetrically arranged on the frame on both sides of the conveyor, and a pressing impeller group matched with the trimming knives is arranged on the frame, so that the trimming knives can be used to trim the edges of fresh aloe vera leaves being transported, and the aloe vera leaves on the conveyor are pressed by the pressing impeller group to prevent the aloe vera leaves from running off during the trimming process, thereby affecting the trimming effect and work efficiency.

[0005] The trimming knife comprises a horseshoe-shaped shell with a front arc formed by upper and lower horizontal plates and vertical side plates and a flat rear end, and the front arc of the horseshoe-shaped shell is located at the center of the conveying surface and the rear end is set to be open. A vertical blade is arranged on the front arc of the horseshoe-shaped shell, the edge of the vertical blade faces the side of the forward aloe leaf and is inclined toward the center of the conveying surface, and a thorn entrance is opened between the edge and the front arc of the horseshoe-shaped shell. A pad is arranged between the horseshoe-shaped shell and the conveyor, and the pad is an inverted arc plate, so that when the fresh aloe leaves are sent to the trimming station by the conveyor, the pad is slightly lifted, and the vertical blade of the trimming knife synchronously cuts the thorns on the side of the fresh aloe leaves, and the cut thorns enter the horseshoe-shaped shell through the thorn entrance and are discharged through the opening at the rear end.

[0006] Two edge trimming knives are symmetrically arranged, and each edge trimming knife is arranged on the frames on both sides of the conveyor so as to synchronously cut the edge thorns on both sides of the fresh aloe leaves at the same time.

[0007] The bottom of the horseshoe-shaped shell of the chamfering knife is connected to one end of a U-shaped swing arm, and the other end of the U-shaped swing arm is bent outward and extended to be connected to a rotating shaft arranged on the frame. An L-shaped pull rod is provided next to the U-shaped swing arm, one end of the L-shaped pull rod is connected to the bottom of the horseshoe-shaped shell, and the other end is bent outward and connected to one end of a tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the frame. The bending directions of the U-shaped swing arm and the L-shaped pull rod are opposite to each other, so that the L-shaped pull rod and the tension spring can provide the horseshoe-shaped shell and the U-shaped swing arm with a force to swing around the rotating shaft toward the center of the conveying surface of the conveyor, so that the cutting edge of the vertical blade is always in contact with the side of the aloe leaf during cutting, and it can also adapt to the chamfering of aloe leaves of different shapes and sizes.

[0008] The impeller assembly includes front and rear horizontal pressure rollers respectively arranged above the conveyor on both sides of the front and rear of the edge trimming knife, and a roller frame connected to each horizontal pressure roller. The roller frame is composed of a horizontal swing shaft arranged on the frames on both sides of the conveyor and a swing rod respectively arranged at both ends of the horizontal swing shaft. One end of the swing rod is connected to the horizontal swing shaft, and the other end is matched with the two ends of the roller shaft of the horizontal pressure roller through a seat bearing. A pressure belt is wound between the front and rear horizontal pressure rollers, and the pressure belt is placed in the belt grooves on the front and rear horizontal pressure rollers; so that the aloe leaves passing through the edge trimming knife can be pressed by the front and rear horizontal pressure rollers and the pressure belt, so that the aloe leaves can be close to the conveying surface of the conveyor, avoiding the situation of aloe leaves shifting during edge trimming, thereby ensuring the edge trimming effect.

[0009] The utility model has the following advantages and effects: adopting the above scheme, the edge trimming knife and the peeling knife are used to trim and peel the fresh aloe leaves in transit, which improves the peeling efficiency and avoids the waste caused by excessive cutting. The use of the edge trimming impeller and the peeling impeller can ensure the cleanliness of peeling and avoid the situation of incomplete peeling. At the same time, it can also play a role in fixing the aloe leaves to avoid excessive cutting caused by deviation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
