Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a fruit lifting mechanism for a multi-station fruit and vegetable peeling machine, which is applied to the field of fruit and vegetable peeling. Background Art

[0002] A fruit and vegetable peeler is a kitchen appliance primarily used to peel fruits and vegetables. It has many advantages. First, it's extremely convenient and can quickly peel fruits and vegetables, saving significant time and labor. Second, it produces a very thin peel, minimizing the waste of pulp. Finally, using a fruit and vegetable peeler avoids the cuts and nicks that can occur when peeling fruits and vegetables manually.

[0003] The existing application number is 202010897138.1, which is an automatic peeling machine suitable for multiple mangoes. It adopts a mechanical structure that imitates manual straight cutting. The peeling knife group drive seat, the fruit feeding mechanism drive seat, and the lower fruit pushing shaft drive seat respectively drive each mechanism to move regularly, thereby removing the mango peel. However, the fruit pushing device pushes the fruit through the lower fruit pushing shafts at both ends, and deviations may occur during the fruit pushing process. Although the original intention of the design of the fruit pushing device is to fix fruits and vegetables, in actual operation, if the positioning of the lower fruit pushing shaft is not accurate enough or the force control is improper, it may cause the fruits and vegetables to shift or fall off during the peeling process. Therefore, in response to the above problems, the utility model designs a fruit pushing mechanism for a multi-station fruit and vegetable peeler. Utility Model Content
