Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dried fruit core removal, and specifically belongs to an automatic dried fruit core removal device. Background Art

[0002] In the processing technology of dried fruits, there is a core removal process, also known as core digging and core removal process. The requirement of this process is to remove the cores of sliced dried fruits. In the existing production process, the core removal of dried fruits is purely manually handled by production employees. In the traditional dried fruit core removal process, it mostly relies on manual operation, which has problems such as low efficiency, incomplete core removal, and easy damage to the outer wall fibers of dried fruits; in some existing equipment, mainly hard core removal is adopted. Due to the various and irregular shapes of dried fruits, it is easy to cause damage to dried fruits, such as fiber tearing and puncturing of dried fruits. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide an automatic dried fruit core removal device. The present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0004] It includes a core removal needle assembly and a position moving device. The core removal needle assembly is installed on the position moving device. The core removal needle assembly includes an assembly base, and needles are arranged on both sides of the assembly base. The needles are arranged in a V shape; the needles are installed on the push rod of a telescopic cylinder, and the cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly installed on the assembly base. The telescopic cylinder is used to drive the needles to incline downward and approach.

[0005] The position moving device includes a Z-axis driving structure and a Z-axis slider. An X-axis driving structure and an X-axis slider are arranged on the Z-axis slider. A Y-axis driving structure and a Y-axis slider are arranged on the X-axis slider. The assembly base is arranged on the Y-axis slider; the Z-axis driving structure is used to drive the Z-axis slider to move along the Z-axis, the X-axis driving structure is used to drive the X-axis slider to move along the X-axis, and the Y-axis driving structure is used to drive the Y-axis slider to slide along the Y-axis.

[0006] Through the above settings, the core removal needle assembly can be moved in space to adjust the position of the needles, so that the needles can be more accurately located directly above the dried fruits.

[0007] A rotation driving structure and a rotating turntable are installed on the Y-axis slider. The rotation driving structure drives the rotating turntable to rotate, and the assembly base is installed on the rotating turntable.

[0008] By setting the rotation driving structure and the rotating turntable, the core removal needle assembly can be rotated to adjust the direction of the needles, so that the needles can be aligned with the longer direction of the dried fruits.

[0009] The component base is V-shaped; the telescopic cylinder is arranged on the V-shaped side surface of the component base. A pin slide seat is fixedly connected to the push rod of the telescopic cylinder. The pin slide seat is in fit connection with the V-shaped side surface chute of the component base, and the pin is fixedly arranged on the pin slide seat.

[0010] By providing the pin slide seat, it is used to install the pins. At the same time, after the pins are damaged, the entire pin slide seat can be replaced or the damaged single pin on the pin slide seat can be removed.

[0011] A component end is installed at the lower end of the component base. Flanges for sliding limit of the pin slide seat are arranged at both ends of the upper part of the component end.

[0012] A perforation is arranged in the component end, and the pin passes through the perforation.

[0013] By passing the pin through the perforation of the component end, the pin will not be overly skewed under force.

[0014] The pins located on both sides of the component base are arranged staggeredly.

[0015] When the pins are arranged staggeredly and the dried fruit core is pulled out after the pins are inserted into the dried fruit pit, it is easier to pull out the dried fruit core.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0017] The pins are arranged in a V shape. This design can effectively reduce the contact area between the pins and the inner wall of the dried fruit while ensuring the stable grasping of the dried fruit core, reducing the risk of damage to the fiber of the dried fruit outer wall.
