Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fruit and vegetable processing, and in particular to a device for removing the stems of cherry tomatoes. Background Art

[0002] The fruit stem generally refers to the part where the flower or fruit is connected to the branch, that is, the place where the handle at the fruit nest is connected to the branch. Cherry tomatoes are usually sold with the fruit stem. The fruit stem will dry out after a period of time, which will affect the overall quality of the cherry tomato. Generally, the fruit stem needs to be removed to ensure the quality of the cherry tomato. Fruit stem removal is generally done manually, which is inefficient and costly. Therefore, we have designed a cherry tomato fruit stem removal device that uses mechanical motion to operate soft hairs to rub the cherry tomatoes to remove the fruit stems, thereby improving the efficiency of fruit stem removal and reducing cost investment.

[0029] Embodiment 2:

[0030] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the soft brush 10 is made of soft hair flexible rubber. Through the setting of the soft brush 10, when rubbing the small tomatoes with the soft hair flexible rubber, the small tomatoes will not be damaged. Moreover, when the calyx is removed, impurities such as the calyx will be discharged from the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 through the filter holes on the porous plate 4.

[0031] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the user adds small tomatoes that need to have their fruit stalks removed into the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 through the feeding port 3. During this period, the motor 81 is started. The motor 81 drives the sleeve 87 and the shaft rod 82 to rotate through the hexagonal column 86, and then drives the upper turntable 2 and the soft brush 10 to rotate. During this period, the sliding pin 85 on the surface of the shaft rod 82 slides in the inner cavity of the circumferential arc-shaped groove 84, causing the shaft rod 82 to move up and down. The shaft rod 82 drives the sleeve 87 to slide up and down on the surface of the hexagonal column 86, causing the upper turntable 2 and the soft brush 10 to rotate and move up and down to knead the small tomatoes, so that the fruit stalks on the small tomatoes are removed. The small tomatoes with the fruit stalks removed will roll to the discharge port 5 and be discharged outside the cylinder body 1 due to the inclination of the porous plate 4. The fruit stalks and other impurities are discharged to the bottom of the cylinder body 1 through the filter holes on the porous plate 4 and collected by the impurity collection box 9.

[0032] In summary: For this small tomato fruit stalk removal device, the small tomatoes that need to have their fruit stalks removed are added into the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 through the feeding port 3. During this period, the rotating motion assembly 8 works to drive the upper turntable 2 to rotate and move up and down. When the upper turntable 2 moves downward and rotates, the soft brush 10 kneads the small tomatoes. When moving upward, the kneading of the tomatoes is cancelled. The small tomatoes with the fruit stalks removed are discharged from the discharge port 5. In this way, the purpose of using mechanical motion to operate the soft hair to knead the small tomatoes to remove the fruit stalks, improving the removal efficiency of the fruit stalks, and reducing the cost investment can be achieved.

[0033] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
