Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of apples, in particular to an apple core remover. Background Art
[0002] Apples are plants of the genus Malus in the apple subfamily of the Rosaceae family, and their trees are deciduous trees. Apples have high nutritional value, are rich in minerals and vitamins, have a rich calcium content, which helps to metabolize the excess salt in the body. Malic acid can metabolize calories and prevent obesity in the lower body. Apples are a low-calorie food, and about 60 kcal of heat is generated per 100 grams.
[0003] For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN203985965U proposed an apple core remover. In this patent, through the arranged arc-shaped pieces, the arc-shaped pieces clamp the apple. Then, the lifting device drives the motor to move downward, and the slender cutter moves downward with the movement of the motor until the middle part of the arc of the slender cutter is located inside the apple. At this time, the motor starts, and the slender cutter rotates. The middle part of the arc of the slender cutter separates the fruit core from the pulp. Then, the motor stops rotating, so that the slender cutter aligns with the vertically extending groove opened on the upper end face of the support column. The lifting device drives the motor to move downward. At this time, the blade cuts the apple, and the slender cutter enters the vertically extending groove opened at the upper end of the support column. After the cutting is completed, the motor moves upward, and then the core is taken out to complete the core removal operation. However, in this solution, since the staff needs to place the apple between two arc-shaped pieces and then use the lifting drive device to drive the lifting ring to move upward to drive the arc-shaped pieces to clamp the apple, it is difficult for the arc-shaped pieces to directly limit the apple, and the speed of limiting the apple is slow, which affects the subsequent core removal of the apple by the staff.

The apple limiting component includes two support holes 12, both of the two support holes 12 are opened on the top surface of the workbench 2, an installation block 13 is movably sleeved inside the support hole 12, a sharp cone 14 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the installation block 13, connection holes 18 are opened on both sides of the workbench 2, the connection holes 18 are communicated with the support holes 12, a connecting rod 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the installation block 13, the connecting rod 19 is movably sleeved with the connection hole 18, a connecting rod 19 is fixedly installed on one side, two installation holes 15 are opened on the top surface of the base plate 1, two movable plates 27 are arranged on one side of the installation block 13, a second spring 23 is fixedly installed between the two movable plates 27, a plurality of clamping grooves 21 are opened on both sides inside the installation hole 15, a clamping block 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable plate 27, the clamping block 22 is movably sleeved with the clamping groove 21, a circular through hole is opened on one side of the movable plate 27, a positioning column 20 is movably sleeved on the inner wall surface of the circular through hole, and one end of the positioning column 20 is fixedly connected with one side of the installation block 13. By arranging the workbench 2, before the staff places the apple on the workbench 2 for pitting, the staff moves the two sharp cones 14 to appropriate positions according to the size of the apple. The staff squeezes the two movable plates 27 so that the movable plates 27 rotate inwards around the positioning column 20 and at the same time the second spring 23 is compressed. The inward rotation of the movable plates 27 drives the clamping block 22 to move inwards. The staff moves the clamping block 22 to the outside of the clamping groove 21 inside the installation hole 15 by squeezing the two movable plates 27. Losing the restriction of the clamping block 22, the staff moves the two movable plates 27 outwards. The two movable plates 27 move outwards inside the installation hole 15 on the base plate 1 and drive the installation block 13 and the connecting rod 19 to move outwards. The outward movement of the connecting rod 19 drives the installation block 13 and the sharp cone 14 to move outwards inside the support hole 12 on the workbench 2. The staff moves the two sharp cones 14 outwards to appropriate positions according to the size of the apple. The staff releases the two movable plates 27, and the acting force of the second spring 23 makes the movable plates 27 rotate outwards around the positioning column 20. The outward rotation of the movable plates 27 makes the clamping block 22 move outwards and enter the inside of the clamping groove 21 inside the installation hole 15, thereby determining the positions of the two groups of installation blocks 13 and sharp cones 14. Then the staff directly places the apple on the workbench 2 so that the sharp cone 14 on the top surface of the installation block 13 pierces into the outside of the apple. The two sharp cones 14 can limit the apple, achieving the effect of limiting the apple. Compared with clamping the apple with a fixture, it is faster and more convenient for the staff to pit the apple subsequently.
[0025] Embodiment 2
[0026] Based on the above Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , a fixing frame 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the substrate 1, a collecting box 8 is movably sleeved inside the fixing frame 7, blanking holes 6 are formed in the top surface of the workbench 2 and the top surface of the substrate 1. By arranging the workbench 2, after the staff places the apple on the workbench 2 to remove the core, the apple core falls into the inside of the collecting box 8 through the blanking hole 6, so as to collect the apple core. An electric push rod 4 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the support frame 3, a core-removing cylinder 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 4, a push block 11 is movably sleeved on the inner circular wall surface of the core-removing cylinder 5, a first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the core-removing cylinder 5, and one end of the first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the push block 11. A PLC controller is fixedly installed on the top surface of the substrate 1, and the electric push rod 4 is electrically connected to the PLC controller. By arranging the workbench 2, the staff limits the apple on the workbench 2. The staff starts the electric push rod 4, and the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 4 moves downward to drive the core-removing cylinder 5 to move downward and insert into the middle of the apple on the workbench 2, and at the same time, the apple core enters the inside of the core-removing cylinder 5. The entry of the apple core into the inside of the core-removing cylinder 5 causes the push block 11 to move upward and the first spring 10 to be compressed. When the core-removing cylinder 5 together with the apple core enters the inside of the blanking hole 6, the acting force of the first spring 10 causes the push block 11 to push the apple core downward, so that the apple core enters the inside of the collecting box 8 through the blanking hole 6. Subsequently, the staff uses the electric push rod 4 to reset the core-removing cylinder 5 to remove the cores of subsequent apples, achieving the effect of removing the cores of apples and facilitating the staff to remove the cores of apples.
[0027] Embodiment 3
[0028] Based on the above-mentioned Embodiment 1 or 2, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7, limiting holes 16 are provided on both sides of the fixing frame 7, limiting blocks 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the collection box 8, and the limiting blocks 17 are movably sleeved with the limiting holes 16. By providing the collection box 8, the staff moves the collection box 8 outwards to drive the limiting blocks 17 to move inside the limiting holes 16 on the fixing frame 7, and the limiting blocks 17 can limit the movement of the collection box 8, achieving the limiting effect on the collection box 8. Two placing holes 24 are provided on the top surface of the workbench 2, a threaded column 25 is movably sleeved on the inner wall surface of the placing hole 24, two threaded grooves 26 are provided on the top surface of the substrate 1, and one end of the threaded column 25 is threadedly connected with the inner wall surface of the threaded groove 26. By providing the threaded column 25, the staff rotates the threaded column 25 to separate one end of the threaded column 25 from the threaded groove 26 on the substrate 1, and the staff pulls out the threaded groove 26 from the inside of the placing hole 24 on the workbench 2, and then the staff removes the workbench 2 from the substrate 1, so as to clean the workbench 2. A plurality of support legs 9 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the substrate 1.
[0029] Working principle: Please refer to Figures 1 - 7 As shown in the figure, by providing the workbench 2, before the staff places the apple on the workbench 2 for core removal, the staff moves the two pointed cones 14 to appropriate positions according to the size of the apple. The staff squeezes the two movable plates 27 so that the movable plates 27 rotate inwards around the positioning column 20 and at the same time compress the second spring 23. The inward rotation of the movable plates 27 drives the clamping blocks 22 to move inwards. The staff moves the clamping blocks 22 to the outside of the clamping groove 21 inside the mounting hole 15 by squeezing the two movable plates 27. Without the restriction of the clamping blocks 22, the staff moves the two movable plates 27 outwards. The two movable plates 27 move outwards inside the mounting hole 15 on the substrate 1 to drive the mounting blocks 13 and the connecting rod 19 to move outwards. The outward movement of the connecting rod 19 drives the mounting blocks 13 and the pointed cones 14 to move outwards inside the support holes 12 on the workbench 2. The staff moves the two pointed cones 14 outwards to appropriate positions according to the size of the apple. The staff releases the two movable plates 27, and the acting force of the second spring 23 makes the movable plates 27 rotate outwards around the positioning column 20. The outward rotation of the movable plates 27 makes the clamping blocks 22 move outwards and enter the inside of the clamping groove 21 inside the mounting hole 15, so as to determine the positions of the two groups of mounting blocks 13 and pointed cones 14. Then the staff directly places the apple on the workbench 2 so that the pointed cones 14 on the top surface of the mounting block 13 pierce into the outside of the apple. The two pointed cones 14 can limit the apple, achieving the limiting effect on the apple, which is faster than clamping the apple with a fixture and is convenient for the staff to remove the core of the apple subsequently.
[0030] Through the provided workbench 2, after the staff place the apple on the workbench 2 to remove the core, the apple core falls into the interior of the collection box 8 through the material discharge hole 6, thereby collecting the apple core. Through the provided workbench 2, the staff limit the apple on the workbench 2. The staff start the electric push rod 4, and the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 4 moves downward to drive the core removal cylinder 5 to move downward and insert into the middle of the apple on the workbench 2 while allowing the apple core to enter the interior of the core removal cylinder 5. The entry of the apple core into the interior of the core removal cylinder 5 causes the push block 11 to move upward and the first spring 10 to be compressed. When the core removal cylinder 5 together with the apple core enters the interior of the material discharge hole 6, the acting force of the first spring 10 causes the push block 11 to push the apple core downward, so that the apple core enters the interior of the collection box 8 through the material discharge hole 6. Subsequently, the staff use the electric push rod 4 to reset the core removal cylinder 5 to remove the cores of subsequent apples, achieving the effect of core removal for apples and facilitating the staff to remove the cores of apples.
[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
