Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fruit peeling and core removing device, belonging to the technical field of fruit processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the fruit processing industry, especially those fruits rich in nutrition and unique flavor, such as apples, pears, persimmons, kiwis, etc., they can not only be eaten fresh, but also often processed into canned food, juice and other products to meet the different needs of consumers. However, in the deep processing of fruits, peeling and core removal is a crucial link.

[0003] At present, most factories and workshops still use manual peeling and core removal, which is very inefficient. Faced with a large number of fruits that need to be processed, manual operation is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, and long hours of work can easily lead to worker fatigue, which in turn affects the effect of peeling and core removal. In addition, due to the uncontrollability of manual operation, the accuracy and consistency of peeling and core removal are also difficult to guarantee, which will have a negative impact on subsequent product processing and quality.

[0004] Although there are some automated or semi-automated peeling and core removal equipment on the market, these equipment are often complex in structure and inconvenient to operate and maintain. Once these equipment fail, it is quite troublesome to repair them, and the maintenance cost is relatively high. In addition, the complex equipment structure also means higher manufacturing costs, which undoubtedly increases the economic burden for some small and medium-sized enterprises or personal workshops. Furthermore, the existing peeling and core removal equipment is not ideal in terms of peeling and core removal effects. Due to differences in factors such as the shape, size, and hardness of fruits, the equipment often cannot accurately remove the peel and core. Sometimes, the equipment will peel off too much flesh, resulting in a waste of raw materials; sometimes, it will leave part of the peel or core, affecting the taste and quality of the product.

[0005] Therefore, the fruit processing industry is in urgent need of a new type of fruit peeling and core removing equipment to improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure product quality. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows: a fruit peeling and core removing device, comprising an equipment frame, and also comprising a fruit axis, a feeding module, a peeling knife, a discharging dustpan, a fruit discharging push plate and a core removing knife installed on the equipment frame, wherein one, two or more fruit axes are rotatably installed on the equipment frame; the feeding module is arranged on one side of the fruit axis for conveying the fruit to the bottom of the fruit axis and inserting the fruit on the respective fruit axis; one, two or more peeling knives are also arranged on one side of the fruit axis, and the peeling knives can rotate and / or move up and down; a discharging dustpan is arranged below the fruit axis, and one, two or more core removing knives are arranged below the discharging dustpan, and a through hole for the core removing knife to pass through is provided on the discharging dustpan, and the core removing knife can move up and down relative to the discharging dustpan in the through hole, and the fruit discharging push plate is installed below the mounting platform, and a plurality of through holes are provided on the fruit discharging push plate for the fruit axis to pass through, and the fruit discharging push plate can move along the fruit axis direction.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the fruit peeling and core removing device of the utility model transfers the fruit to be cut to the fruit axis through the feeding module. The fruit axis drives the fruit to rotate, and the peeling knife peels the rotating fruit by rotating or moving up and down. Under the synergistic effect of the fruit axis and the peeling knife, the fruit peel can be completely removed. Subsequently, through the cooperation of the fruit unloading push plate and the core removing knife, the device can also easily separate the fruit core from the fruit pulp. Therefore, the utility model can automatically complete the peeling and core removing operations of the fruit, and realize efficient and convenient fruit processing. In terms of structural design, the device is simple and practical, and is also very convenient to maintain.

[0009] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0010] Furthermore, the loading module includes a loading cup, a first pallet, a vertical feeding cylinder and a first bracket, a plurality of the loading cups are installed side by side above the first pallet, the first pallet is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft of the vertical feeding cylinder, the vertical feeding cylinder drives the first pallet to move up and down, the cylinder body of the vertical feeding cylinder is fixed on the first bracket, and the first bracket is installed on the equipment frame in a manner that it can move along the Y-axis direction.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that several feeding cups are neatly installed side by side above the first support plate, and this design can accommodate multiple fruits at the same time, thereby improving the feeding efficiency; the first support plate can be flexibly moved up and down by the drive of the vertical feeding cylinder, and this vertical movement characteristic enables the feeding module to accurately transport the fruit to the fruit axis, ensuring the smooth peeling and core removal. The feeding module realizes efficient and accurate feeding of fruits, while ensuring the smooth peeling and core removal process.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that, firstly, the design that the upper end of the fruit shaft passes through the first bearing seat and is connected to the first transmission wheel ensures that the fruit shaft can rotate smoothly and continuously. Moreover, by driving multiple fruit shafts to rotate synchronously by one motor, multiple fruits can be processed at one time, thereby realizing batch processing and reducing the processing time of a single fruit. In addition, the design of multiple fruit shafts rotating synchronously can also ensure the consistency of fruit quality. Since all fruit shafts are driven by the same motor, their rotation speed and strength are the same. This ensures that each fruit can obtain the same processing effect during the peeling and core removal process, thereby ensuring the consistency of fruit quality.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a fruit unloading cylinder, which is installed on the installation platform, and the fruit unloading push plate is installed below the installation platform. The fruit unloading push plate moves up and down under the driving action of the fruit unloading cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the paring knife includes a blade, a knife head, a handle, a crank, a knife handle lifting cylinder, a main shaft and a spring. The blade is rotatably mounted on one end of the knife head, the other end of the knife head is connected to one end of the knife handle, and the other end of the knife handle is hinged to the crank. The cylinder body of the knife handle lifting cylinder is mounted on the crank. A support rod is provided on one side of the knife handle.

Under the action of the knife handle lifting cylinder, the knife handle can swing around the hinge point with the crank. A spring is connected between the crank and the support rod, and the main shaft is connected to one side of the crank.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that by hingedly connecting the handle to the crank and connecting a spring between the crank and the handle, the function of floating cutting on the surface of the fruit is realized. This floating cutting method ensures that the flesh will not be cut off by mistake during the cutting process, and the peel cut is very thin, which avoids waste. The peel cut is extremely thin, which effectively reduces waste. At the same time, the action of the handle lifting cylinder will drive the cutter head and the blade away from the fruit, ensuring that no cutting action occurs in the second half of the rotation of the peeling knife. Through such a design, we can effectively avoid unnecessary excessive cutting of the fruit.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes a tool holder, a second bearing seat and a rotary knife motor, the tool holder has a tool holder plate for mounting the peeling knife, the second bearing seat is mounted on the tool holder plate, the main shaft is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing seat, a second transmission wheel is mounted on one end of the main shaft passing through the second bearing seat, the cylinder body of the rotary knife motor is mounted on the tool holder, a second driving wheel is provided on the driving shaft of the rotary knife motor, the second driving wheel is transmission-connected to the second transmission wheel, and the tool holder is slidably mounted on the equipment frame.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the second bearing seat is firmly mounted on the knife holder plate, providing solid support for the main shaft and ensuring its stable operation. The main shaft is tightly fixed to the inner ring of the second bearing seat, which effectively ensures the stability of the main shaft when rotating at high speed. The end of the main shaft passing through the second bearing seat is equipped with a second transmission wheel. This design enables the rotary knife motor to serve as a power source to drive the main shaft to rotate, and a plurality of peeling knives are synchronously driven to rotate through a rotary knife motor. This structure not only realizes batch processing, but also can process multiple fruits at a time, significantly reducing the processing time of a single fruit and improving work efficiency; moreover, the design of synchronous rotation of multiple peeling knives ensures that each fruit can obtain uniform and consistent processing effects, thereby ensuring the consistency of fruit quality. In addition, the knife holder is installed on the equipment frame in a sliding installation manner. This installation method enables the knife holder to slide along the equipment frame when necessary to adapt to fruits of different sizes or adjust the peeling position.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a tool holder cylinder, the cylinder body of the tool holder cylinder is fixed on the equipment frame, the drive shaft of the tool holder cylinder is transmission connected to the tool holder, and under the driving action of the tool holder cylinder, the tool holder can drive the peeling knife to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a second pallet, a second bracket, a core removing knife lifting cylinder and a removal cylinder, a plurality of the core removing knives are installed side by side on the second pallet, the telescopic shaft of the core removing knife lifting cylinder is connected to the second pallet, the cylinder body of the core removing knife lifting cylinder is fixed on the second bracket, the core removing knife lifting cylinder is used to drive the second pallet to move up and down, the second bracket is slidably installed on the equipment frame, the unloading dustpan is arranged above the second bracket, and the removal cylinder can synchronously drive the second bracket and the unloading dustpan to move along the Y-axis direction.

The telescopic shaft of the pitting knife lifting cylinder is connected to the second support plate, and the cylinder body is fixed on the second bracket. By controlling the telescopic movement of the pitting knife lifting cylinder, the second bracket and the pitting knife thereon can be driven to move up and down. This design enables the pitting knife to be flexibly adjusted according to the size and position of the fruit, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of pitting. In addition, the second bracket is installed on the equipment frame in a sliding installation manner. This installation manner enables the second bracket to slide along the equipment frame when necessary, thereby adapting to different working scenes or adjusting the position. The unloading dustpan is arranged above the second bracket for collecting and processing the pitted fruits. The removal cylinder can synchronously drive the second bracket and the unloading dustpan to move along the Y-axis direction. This design enables the pitted fruits to be automatically removed from the equipment, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving the automation of the equipment.

[0023] Furthermore, the core removing knife is a hollow tubular structure, and a discharge port is provided on the side wall of the core removing knife.

[0045] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0046] like Figure 1-4As shown, a fruit peeling and core removing device comprises an equipment frame 1, and also comprises a fruit axis 2, a feeding module 3, a peeling knife 4, a discharge dustpan 5, a fruit unloading push plate 601 and a core removing knife 7 installed on the equipment frame 1, wherein four fruit axes 2 are rotatably installed on the equipment frame 1; the feeding module 3 is arranged on one side of the fruit axis 2 for conveying the fruit to the bottom of the fruit axis 2 and inserting the fruit on each of the fruit axes 2; four peeling knives 4 are also arranged on one side of the fruit axis 2, and the peeling knives 4 are installed on the equipment frame 1 in a manner that they can move along the Y-axis direction, and the peeling knives 4 can rotate and / or move up and down to peel; A discharge dustpan 5 is provided below the fruit axis 2, and the discharge dustpan 5 is obliquely installed on the equipment frame 1 in a manner that it can move along the Y-axis direction; four core removal knives 7 are provided below the discharge dustpan 5, and the core removal knives 7 can move synchronously with the discharge dustpan 5 along the Y-axis direction, and the discharge dustpan 5 is provided with a through hole 501 for the core removal knife 7 to pass through, and the core removal knife 7 can move up and down relative to the discharge dustpan 5 in the through hole 501, and the fruit discharge push plate 601 is provided with four through holes 501, and the four fruit axes 2 respectively pass through their corresponding through holes 501, and the fruit discharge push plate 601 can move along the direction of the fruit axis 2.

[0047] More specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, the loading module 3 includes a loading cup 301, a first support plate 302, a vertical feeding cylinder 303 and a first bracket 304. The four loading cups 301 are installed side by side above the first support plate 302. The first support plate 302 is fixedly connected to the telescopic shaft of the vertical feeding cylinder 303. The vertical feeding cylinder 303 drives the first support plate 302 to move up and down. The cylinder body of the vertical feeding cylinder 303 is fixed on the first bracket 304. The first bracket 304 is installed on the equipment frame 1 in a manner that it can move along the Y-axis direction. The fruit peeling and core removing equipment also includes a horizontal feeding cylinder 305, and both ends of the first bracket 304 are slidably mounted on the equipment frame 1 through a first slider rail assembly 306. The cylinder body of the horizontal feeding cylinder 305 is fixed on the equipment frame 1, and the driving shaft of the horizontal feeding cylinder 305 is connected to the first bracket 304. The first bracket 304 can move along the Y-axis direction under the driving action of the horizontal feeding cylinder 305.

[0048] In this embodiment, the number of the fruit axis 2, the peeling knife 4, the loading cup 301 and the core removing knife 7 is four. Of course, the number of the fruit axis 2, the peeling knife 4, the loading cup 301 and the core removing knife 7 can be more or less. As long as the number of the fruit axis 2, the peeling knife 4, the loading cup 301 and the core removing knife 7 is adapted to meet the rhythm requirements, it should be within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the equipment frame 1 is provided with a mounting platform 17, a driving motor 14 and a first transmission wheel 16 are provided above the mounting platform 17, a first driving wheel 15 is provided on the driving shaft of the driving motor 14, the fruit shaft 2 is mounted on the mounting platform 17 through a first bearing seat 201, and the upper end of each fruit shaft 2 passes through the first bearing seat 201 and is connected to a first transmission wheel 16, the lower end of the fruit shaft 2 extends vertically downward, the four first driving wheels 15 and the first transmission wheel 16 are connected through a belt transmission, the driving wheel rotates under the drive of the driving motor 14 to drive the transmission wheel to rotate, and then drive the fruit shaft 2 to rotate. The driving wheel and the first transmission wheel 16 can also be connected by a gear set or other structure transmission connection.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the fruit peeling and pitting device further comprises a fruit unloading cylinder 602, which is mounted on the mounting platform 17, and a fruit unloading push plate 601 is mounted below the mounting platform 17, and the fruit unloading push plate 601 can move up and down under the driving action of the fruit unloading cylinder 602. When the fruit unloading push plate 601 moves downward, it will effectively push the fruit inserted on the fruit axis 2 toward the pitting knife 7, so that the fruit pit and the fruit pulp are separated smoothly. After completing this action, the fruit unloading push plate 601 will move upward and reset to the initial position to prepare for the next operation.

[0051] like Figure 7As shown, the paring knife 4 includes a blade 401, a cutter head 402, a handle 403, a crank 404, a handle lifting cylinder 405 and a main shaft 406. The blade 401 is rotatably mounted on one end of the cutter head 402. More specifically, one side of the cutter head 402 has a concave frame, and the blade 401 is movably mounted in the concave frame. The blade 401 is provided with 4 flat-edged paring knives and / or 4 serrated paring knives. The other end of the knife head 402 is connected to one end of the knife handle 403, and the other end of the knife handle 403 is hinged to the crank 404. The cylinder body of the knife handle lifting cylinder 405 is installed on the crank 404. A support rod 415 is provided on one side of the knife handle 403. The driving shaft of the knife handle lifting cylinder 405 abuts against the support rod 415. Under the action of the knife handle lifting cylinder 405, the knife handle 403 can swing around the hinge point with the crank 404. A spring 407 is connected between the crank 404 and the support rod 415. The main shaft 406 is connected to one side of the crank 404. In this embodiment, the crank 404 is L-shaped. When the driving shaft of the knife handle lifting cylinder 405 retracts, the spring 407 plays a role, pulling the knife head 402 and the blade 401 close to the fruit for cutting. Due to the elastic force of the spring 407, the blade 401 can perform floating cutting on the surface of the fruit, ensuring that the flesh will not be cut off, and the cut peel is very thin, avoiding waste. When the drive shaft of the handle lifting cylinder 405 extends, it will move against the straight rod, so that the handle 403 rotates around the hinge point. This action will drive the cutter head 402 and the blade 401 away from the fruit, effectively preventing excessive cutting of the fruit. It also includes a tool holder, a second bearing seat 409 and a rotary knife motor 410, the tool holder has a tool holder plate 408 for mounting the peeling knife 4, the second bearing seat 409 is mounted on the tool holder plate 408, the main shaft 406 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing seat 409, and a second transmission wheel 412 is mounted on one end of the main shaft 406 passing through the second bearing seat 409, the cylinder body of the rotary knife motor 410 is mounted on the tool holder, and a second driving wheel 411 is provided on the driving shaft of the rotary knife motor 410, the second driving wheel 411 is transmission-connected to the second transmission wheel 412, and the tool holder is slidingly mounted on the equipment frame 1.

[0052] like Figure 8 and 9 As shown, the fruit peeling and core removing device also includes a tool holder cylinder 413, both ends of which are mounted on the device frame 1 via a second slider rail assembly 414, the cylinder body of the tool holder cylinder 413 is fixed on the device frame 1, and the drive shaft of the tool holder cylinder 413 is connected to the tool holder. Under the driving action of the tool holder cylinder 413, the tool holder can drive the peeling knife 4 to move along the Y-axis direction.

[0053] like Figure 10-13 As shown, the fruit peeling and core removing equipment also includes a second support plate 8, a second bracket 9, a core removing knife lifting cylinder 10 and a removal cylinder 11, the four core removing knives 7 are installed side by side on the second support plate 8, the telescopic shaft of the core removing knife lifting cylinder 10 is connected to the second support plate 8, the cylinder body of the core removing knife lifting cylinder 10 is fixed on the second bracket 9, the core removing knife lifting cylinder 10 is used to drive the second support plate 8 to move up and down, the second bracket 9 is slidably installed on the equipment frame 1, the unloading dustpan 5 is arranged above the second bracket 9, and the removal cylinder 11 can synchronously drive the second bracket 9 and the unloading dustpan 5 to move along the Y-axis direction. More specifically, both ends of the second bracket 9 are slidably mounted on the equipment frame 1 via a third slider rail assembly 13, the unloading dustpan 5 is fixedly connected to the slider of the third slider rail assembly 13 via a bracket, the cylinder body of the removal cylinder 11 is fixed on the equipment frame 1, and the driving shaft of the removal cylinder 11 is connected to the second bracket 9. When the driving shaft of the removal cylinder 11 is extended or retracted, the second bracket 9 and the slider move along the slide rail, thereby driving the unloading dustpan 5, the second bracket 9, the second support plate 8 and the core removal knife 7 to move synchronously.

[0054] The core removing knife 7 is a hollow tubular structure, and a discharge port 701 is provided on the side wall of the core removing knife 7. The fruit peeling and core removing equipment also includes a conveyor belt 12, and the conveyor belt 12 is located below the equipment frame 1, and a discharge hole is provided on the discharge dustpan 5. After the core removing knife 7 passes through the fruit, the core is successfully separated from the fruit. The separated core then enters the hollow tube and slides out smoothly along the discharge port 701. Then, the core flows out through the discharge hole on the discharge dustpan 5, and finally falls from the discharge hole onto the conveyor belt 12. Subsequently, the conveyor belt 12 transports the core to a designated location. Fig.10 As shown, splitting blades 702 may be provided on both sides of the core removal knife 7, so that the fruit can be divided into two halves while removing the core.

[0055] The working method of the fruit peeling and core removing device of the utility model is as follows:

[0056] S1. First, a nearly round fruit with a certain hardness to be peeled, such as apples, peaches, pears, etc., is placed on the loading cup 301, and the horizontal feeding cylinder 305 is started. The first bracket 304 is driven by the horizontal feeding cylinder 305 to move along the Y-axis direction to just below the fruit axis 2. At this time, the unloading dustpan 5 and the core removing knife 7 are located at the rightmost end of the third slider rail assembly 13;

[0057] S2, then, start the vertical feeding cylinder 303, the vertical feeding cylinder 303 moves to lift the first supporting plate 302 toward the fruit axis 2, after the fruit axis 2 passes through the fruit on the feeding cup 301, the feeding cup 301 is reset under the drive of the vertical feeding cylinder 303 and the horizontal feeding cylinder 305;

[0058] S3, the knife holder cylinder 413 is started to push the knife holder forward so that the peeling knife 4 is close to the fruit;

[0059] S4, when the peeling knife 4 reaches the predetermined position, the rotary motor 410 and the drive motor 14 are started. The drive motor 14 drives the fruit axis 2 to rotate, so that the fruit fixed on the fruit axis 2 rotates rapidly. At the same time, the rotary motor 410 drives the peeling knife 4 to rotate, and peels the rotating fruit. In this way, the peeling knife 4 peels the fruit while the fruit rotates rapidly.

[0060] S5. After the peeling knife 4 rotates half a circle, the fruit skin has been cleanly peeled. In order to prevent the peeling knife 4 from over-cutting the fruit flesh, the handle lifting cylinder 405 will be activated after the peeling knife 4 rotates half a circle, and the drive shaft of the handle lifting cylinder 405 will extend to push the support rod 415 to move, thereby causing the handle 403 to rotate around the hinge point. This action will drive the cutter head 402 and the blade 401 away from the fruit, ensuring that no cutting action occurs in the second half of the rotation of the peeling knife 4. Through such a design, we can effectively avoid unnecessary over-cutting of the fruit.

[0061] At this point, the peel of the fruit has been completely peeled off. Subsequently, the rotary blade motor 410 stops working, and the peeling knife 4 stops rotating. Next, the drive shaft of the handle lifting cylinder 405 retracts, and the peeling knife 4 is reset under the action of the spring 407, and the drive motor 14 also stops working, and the fruit stops rotating. The whole peeling process ends here, and the fruit is ready to perform the core removal process in step S6.

[0062] S6, the moving-out cylinder 11 is started, driving the unloading dustpan 5 and the core-removing knife 7 to move as a whole to the bottom of the fruit axis 2, the core-removing knife lifting cylinder 10 is started, the second support plate 8 is lifted upward, and the core-removing knife 7 extends upward from the through hole 501 of the unloading dustpan 5;

[0063] S7, then, the unloading cylinder 602 starts, drives the unloading push plate 601 to move downward, and pushes the fruit inserted on the fruit axis 2 to the pitting knife 7. The pitting knife 7 accurately passes through the center of the fruit and smoothly separates the pit from the flesh. Subsequently, the unloading cylinder 602 drives the unloading push plate 601 to move upward and reset, and at the same time, the pitting knife lifting cylinder 10 drives the pitting knife 7 to fall back. Then, the removal cylinder 11 works, driving the unloading dustpan 5 and the pitting knife 7 to reset as a whole. At this time, the peeled and pitted fruits slide off the unloading dustpan 5 for collection. At the same time, the separated fruit pits enter the hollow tube and slide out smoothly along the discharge port 701. Subsequently, the fruit pits flow out through the drop hole of the unloading dustpan 5, and finally fall from the drop hole onto the conveyor belt 12, which is transported to the designated position by the conveyor belt 12. The entire process is efficient and continuous, ensuring the smooth processing of fruits.
