Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of yam root tuber skin removal, in particular to a yam root tuber skin removal device. Background Art

[0002] Dioscorea rhizome, also known as yam, is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used both as a food and medicine. Its origins vary depending on factors such as regional climate, geology, and growth habits. Its nourishing and strengthening properties, digestive benefits, antiperspirant properties, and antidiarrheal properties make it a popular choice in the food industry.

[0003] The skin of yam needs to be removed before eating or making yam slices. However, after the skin is broken, mucus will ooze out of the yam, making the surface of the yam smooth, making it difficult to grasp the yam when peeled manually. In addition, this mucus sticks to the skin and causes itching, etc., and the efficiency of manual peeling is relatively low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model mainly provides a device for removing the outer skin of yam tubers, which solves the problems of being unable to firmly grasp the yam during manual peeling, causing itching, and relatively low efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A device for removing the skin of yam tubers comprises a workbench, a vertical frame is provided on one side of the workbench, a first motor is provided on the outer side of the vertical frame, the output end of the first motor passes through the vertical frame and a single-open sleeve is provided on the inner side of the vertical frame, a clamping mechanism for clamping the end of the yam tuber is provided on the single-open sleeve, a plurality of brackets are equidistantly arranged on the workbench along the axial direction of the motor, an elastic telescopic mechanism is provided on the upper end of the bracket, a rolling support mechanism for supporting the rotation of the yam tuber is provided on the upper end of the elastic telescopic mechanism, an extension frame is also provided on the workbench corresponding to the side of the bracket, a linear displacement module is provided on the extension frame, a second motor is provided on the linear displacement module, the second motor moves linearly by being driven by the linear displacement module, a scraper is provided on the output shaft of the second motor, and the scraper is rotated to adjust the angle by being driven by the second motor. Among them, the elastic telescopic mechanism can provide good support for different diameter positions of the yam root. The larger diameter area is compressed more deeply due to the concentrated weight, while the elastic telescopic mechanism will compress shallowly at the smaller diameter area, thereby effectively fitting the outer wall of the yam root. When in use, one end of the yam root to be peeled is inserted into the single-opening sleeve, and the remaining part is supported by multiple rolling support mechanisms. During the support, the weight of the yam root will compress the elastic telescopic mechanism to make it at the optimal compression length. After support, the end of the yam root located in the single-opening sleeve is clamped and fixed by the clamping mechanism; then the second motor drives the scraper to adjust the angle formed with the surface of the yam root, and the linear displacement module drives the scraper to move, thereby removing the outer skin of the yam root. During the removal process, the first motor can drive the yam root to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the yam root so that the peeled part is exposed under the scraper. By adopting the structure of the present application, a section of the end of the yam tuber can be brought into a single-opening sleeve, and the yam tuber can be fixed by a clamping mechanism, and the yam tuber can be driven to rotate by the first motor to adjust the peeling position; the yam tuber can be supported by the bracket, the elastic telescopic mechanism and the rolling support mechanism, and the rotation of the yam tuber can be achieved by cooperating with the first motor, and due to the setting of the elastic telescopic mechanism, the yam tubers of different diameter positions can be well supported; the linear displacement module can drive the linear displacement of components such as the scraper, and the second motor can drive the scraper to rotate and adjust the angle, so as to better remove the outer skin of the yam tuber; and the setting of multiple rolling support mechanisms can greatly prevent the yam tubers from breaking during the peeling process.

[0007] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes two linear cylinders symmetrically arranged on the single-opening sleeve, with the output ends of the linear cylinders extending into the single-opening sleeve and provided with arc-shaped clamping plates. When in use, the two symmetrically arranged linear cylinders can drive the corresponding arc-shaped clamping plates to clamp the yam tubers.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic expansion and contraction mechanism includes a triangular guide post mounted on the bracket, a triangular guide sleeve slidably mounted on the triangular guide post, and a spring disposed between the upper end of the triangular guide post and the triangular guide sleeve. The rolling support mechanism is disposed on the triangular guide sleeve. With this structure, the triangular guide sleeve can move up and down on the triangular guide post, providing compression or abutment support via the spring. Furthermore, the arrangement of the triangular guide post and triangular guide sleeve limits the rolling support mechanism, preventing it from rotating.

[0009] Furthermore, the rolling support mechanism includes two Y-shaped support frames arranged on the triangular guide sleeve, and two rollers are symmetrically connected to each other for rotation. With this structure, the two rollers can form a Y-shaped support for the yam tuber, and the support structure is simple and practical.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber anti-skid pad is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped clamping plate, which can make the clamping more stable.

[0011] Beneficial effects: By adopting the structure of the present application, a section of the end of the yam tuber can be brought into the single-opening sleeve, and the yam tuber can be fixed by the clamping mechanism, and the yam tuber can be driven to rotate by the first motor to adjust the peeling position; the yam tuber can be supported by the bracket, the elastic telescopic mechanism and the rolling support mechanism, and the yam tuber can be rotated in conjunction with the first motor, and due to the setting of the elastic telescopic mechanism, the yam tubers of different diameter positions can be well supported; the linear displacement module can drive the linear displacement of components such as the scraper, and the second motor can drive the scraper to rotate and adjust the angle, so as to better remove the outer skin of the yam tuber.
