Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a machine for peeling fruits such as citrus. Background Art
[0002] In the past, the separation of tangerines and tangerine peels was achieved by manual cutting and peeling, but manual cutting has the disadvantages of slow speed, easy damage to the pulp, and easy cutting of hands. For this reason, people invented a tangerine peeling machine to replace manual cutting and solve the above technical problems. For example, the peeling machine disclosed in Chinese design patent CN202130512421.3 uses a fixed plate as the fixed structure of the three-cutter mechanism, and is fixed by welding. The tangerine fruit is placed directly below the three-cutter mechanism, and the fixed plate is pressed down manually to make the three-cutter mechanism move downward. The peeling is achieved after the cutter passes through the peel. However, at present, this type of peeling machine usually has the following problems: 1. The three-cutter mechanism is only fixed by welding with a fixed plate, and the cutter mechanism is easy to loosen, resulting in a short service life; the stability is not strong, and it is easy to shake, causing the accuracy of the three cutters to deviate when peeling, resulting in uneven force on the peel when cutting, affecting the effect of peeling. 2. The original shape of the cutting knife is relatively sharp, which can easily scratch the flesh when peeling, causing the juice to flow out and contaminating the peel; 3. When operating, the fixed plate is usually pressed down with the palm facing down, which is quite laborious and easy to get tired after operating for a long time. Utility Model Content
