Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to citrus fruit automatic peeling equipment manufacturing technical field, especially to a kind of citrus fruit automatic peeling equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae is a traditional Chinese medicine made from orange peel by special processing, which has the medicinal value of regulating qi and invigorating spleen, drying dampness and reducing phlegm. It is made from mature citrus as raw material, through the steps of washing, peeling, taking peel and airing, etc. Citrus is also called citrus fruit, and the oil dots on the outer pericarp are called oil cells. The innermost layer of the middle pericarp is a white net-like structure, called orange white or orange network. The inner fruit flesh is composed of multiple carpels that develop and mature into a structure called a basket. The cells on the inner wall of the basket develop into spindle-shaped translucent crystal-like strips of meat called juice cells. The juice cells often have slender stems. The outer skin of citrus fruit is usually thick and solid, while the flesh is tender and crisp.

[0003] In the process of making pericarpium citri reticulatae, the complete citrus peel is usually divided into three or four parts, and then the flesh is removed, leaving the complete peel. In order to ensure the quality of the pericarpium citri reticulatae produced, the peel of the citrus should be peeled as completely as possible to ensure the quality of the pericarpium citri reticulatae. When manually operated, three cuts are needed for one orange, and the peel needs to be peeled three times. It can only be operated step by step, and the work efficiency is low. It is not suitable for industrial production. Ordinary citrus peeling machines can only break the peel, and then manual meat removal is required. The meat removal process can cause damage to the peel. The appearance of the pericarpium citri reticulatae is affected after the peel is dried, which reduces the added value. The pericarpium citri reticulatae industry is a seasonal labor-intensive traditional industry, which has the characteristics of short time, difficulty in recruiting workers, low production efficiency and high labor cost.
