Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medicinal material processing technology, specifically a cinnamon peeling machine. Background Technology
[0002] A cinnamon peeling machine, as the name suggests, is a peeling device specifically designed for medicinal herbs or food ingredients such as cinnamon. It can quickly and accurately remove the outer skin of cinnamon, improving processing efficiency and product quality. Besides cinnamon, some cinnamon peeling machines are also suitable for peeling other medicinal herbs or food ingredients such as phellodendron bark and magnolia bark. The working principle of a cinnamon peeling machine typically involves mechanical transmission and planing technology. The machine internally includes a conveying mechanism, a planing mechanism, a waste collection mechanism, and a power drive mechanism. During operation, the cinnamon is placed in the feed inlet and conveyed into the planing mechanism. The planing mechanism uses planing blades and other components to plane the cinnamon, removing its outer skin. The waste collection mechanism is responsible for collecting and processing the removed outer skin, while the power drive mechanism provides the power required for the entire machine to operate.
[0003] When peeling cinnamon bark, it is usually necessary to feed it while pressing it onto the peeler blade to ensure that the outer bark is in horizontal contact with the blade for peeling. However, most existing peeling machines use hard pressure rollers or rotating blades to peel cinnamon bark. However, since cinnamon bark is naturally grown, its surface often has natural growth characteristics such as bumps and depressions. These hard pressure rollers and rotating blades are prone to uneven force during peeling, resulting in some missed areas of cinnamon bark that are not cleaned properly, and the processing efficiency is relatively low.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a cinnamon peeling machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a cinnamon peeling machine, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Existing peeling machines mostly use hard pressure rollers or rotating blades to peel cinnamon. However, since cinnamon is naturally grown, its surface often has natural growth characteristics such as protrusions and depressions. These hard pressure rollers and rotating blades are prone to uneven force during peeling, resulting in some missed areas, incomplete cleaning, and relatively low processing efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a cinnamon peeling machine, comprising a frame, a feeding platform fixedly mounted on the frame, and a processing frame fixedly mounted on one side of the feeding platform. A corrugated roller for conveying materials is rotatably mounted inside the processing frame. A drive motor, which is pulsatorically connected to the end of the corrugated roller, is fixedly mounted on the frame. Two symmetrically arranged discharge rollers, pulsatorically connected to the corrugated roller, are rotatably mounted on the processing frame on the side of the corrugated roller away from the feeding platform. A cutting mechanism is provided inside the processing frame.
[0007] The cutting mechanism includes a rubber pressure roller rotatably mounted on the processing frame and adapted to the corrugated roller, and a knife holder fixedly mounted on the processing frame on one side of the corrugated roller. The knife holder is located near the discharge roller, and a blade with its cutting edge facing the corrugated roller is fixedly mounted on the knife holder. The blade gradually increases in height from one end near the knife holder to the other end near the corrugated roller. The blade does not directly contact the corrugated roller. One end of the rubber pressure roller extends outside the processing frame and a drive disc that is connected to the corrugated roller is fixedly mounted at the end. In this way, when processing cinnamon, the drive motor is started, which drives the corrugated roller to rotate. The cinnamon is fed into the processing frame through the feeding platform. The rotating corrugated roller drives the rubber pressure roller to rotate, forming a counter-rotation, which in turn rolls the cinnamon. The corrugated roller grips the surface of the cinnamon through the corrugated grooves on its surface. The rubber pressure roller presses the uneven surface of the cinnamon to flatten it. The raised blade peels the cinnamon. Compared with common hard pressure rollers and rotating blade equipment, this method has better adaptability, and the blade connection is stable and the cutting is stable and reliable.
[0008] Preferably, for fixation, the processing frame has slots above both ends of the corrugated roller. A pressure rod adapted to the end of the rubber pressure roller is inserted into the slot. A clamping plate adapted to the slot is fitted onto the end of the pressure rod away from the end of the rubber pressure roller. The end of the pressure rod passes through the clamping plate and a fastening nut is screwed onto the top of the clamping plate. This ensures stable flattening of the cinnamon bark.
[0009] Preferably, to stabilize the rubber roller, two symmetrically arranged positioning blocks adapted to the inner sidewall of the processing frame are fixedly installed on the outer sidewall of the end of the rubber roller. This improves stability and reduces wear.
[0010] Preferably, to increase the pressing range, the diameter of the rubber pressure roller is larger than the diameter of the corrugated roller. This improves adaptability to cinnamon bark of different shapes.
[0011] Preferably, a waste discharge hopper is fixedly installed on the frame below the corrugated rollers and blades for waste removal. This prevents machine blockage and ensures stable equipment operation.
[0012] Preferably, for material discharge, a suitable housing is fitted onto the processing frame, and a hopper is fixedly installed on one end of the housing near the discharge roller. The peeled cinnamon bark is discharged through the hopper for easy collection.
[0013] This peeling machine starts with a drive motor, which rotates the corrugated rollers. The cinnamon bark is fed into the processing frame through the feeding platform. The rotating corrugated rollers drive the rubber pressure rollers to rotate in opposite directions, thus moving the cinnamon bark. The corrugated rollers grip the surface of the cinnamon bark through the corrugated grooves on their surface, and the rubber pressure rollers press the uneven surface of the cinnamon bark to flatten it. The raised blades peel the cinnamon bark. Compared with common hard pressure rollers and rotating blade equipment, this machine has better adaptability, and the blades are stably connected, making the cutting stable and reliable.
[0014] This peeling machine has its housing fixedly mounted on the processing frame. The feeding hopper is aligned with the discharge roller, and the peeled cinnamon bark is discharged through the feeding hopper for easy collection. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] This embodiment provides a cinnamon peeling machine, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the peeling machine includes a frame 1, a feeding platform 11 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and a processing frame 12 fixedly mounted on one side of the feeding platform 11. A corrugated roller 13 for conveying materials is rotatably mounted inside the processing frame 12. A drive motor 14, which is pulsatorically connected to the end of the corrugated roller 13, is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. Two symmetrically arranged discharge rollers 15, which are pulsatorically connected to the corrugated roller 13, are rotatably mounted on the processing frame 12 on the side of the corrugated roller 13 away from the feeding platform 11. A cutting mechanism 2 is provided inside the processing frame 12.
[0026] The cutting mechanism 2 includes a rubber pressure roller 21 rotatably mounted on the processing frame 12 and adapted to the corrugated roller 13, and a knife holder 22 fixedly mounted on the processing frame 12 on one side of the corrugated roller 13. The knife holder 22 is located near the discharge roller 15. A blade 23 with its cutting edge facing the corrugated roller 13 is fixedly mounted on the knife holder 22. The blade 23 gradually increases in height from one end near the knife holder 22 to the end near the corrugated roller 13. The blade 23 is not in direct contact with the corrugated roller 13. One end of the rubber pressure roller 21 extends outside the processing frame 12 and a drive disc 24 that is connected to the corrugated roller 13 is fixedly mounted at the end.
[0027] In use, the drive motor 14 is started, which drives the corrugated roller 13 to rotate. The cinnamon bark is fed into the processing frame 12 through the feeding platform 11. The rotating corrugated roller 13 drives the rubber pressure roller 21 to rotate, forming a counter-rotation with the rubber pressure roller 21, thereby rolling and moving the cinnamon bark. The corrugated roller 13 grips the surface of the cinnamon bark through the corrugated grooves on its surface. The rubber pressure roller 21 presses the uneven surface of the cinnamon bark to flatten it. The raised blade 23 peels the cinnamon bark. Compared with common hard pressure rollers and rotating blade equipment, it has better adaptability. The blade 23 is stably connected and the cutting is stable and reliable.
[0028] Specifically, the processing frame 12 has slots 25 above both ends of the corrugated roller 13. A pressure rod 26, adapted to the end of the rubber pressure roller 21, is inserted into the slot 25. A clamping plate 27, adapted to the slot 25, is fitted onto the end of the pressure rod 26 away from the end of the rubber pressure roller 21. The end of the pressure rod 26 passes through the clamping plate 27, and a fastening nut 28 is screwed onto the top of the clamping plate 27. In use, both ends of the rubber pressure roller 21 are inserted into the slots 25, and then the pressure rod 26 is inserted into the slots 25 to press down on the ends of the rubber pressure roller 21. The pressure rod 26 is movably connected to the ends of the rubber pressure roller 21. After the clamping plate 27 is inserted into the slot 25, the fastening nut 28 is rotated to fix the ends of the rubber pressure roller 21, ensuring stable flattening of the cinnamon.
[0029] More specifically, two symmetrically arranged positioning blocks 29, which are adapted to the inner sidewall of the processing frame 12, are fixedly installed on the outer sidewall of the end of the rubber roller 21. In use, after the rubber roller 21 is placed in the processing frame 12, the positioning blocks 29 prevent the rubber roller 21 from swaying left and right when rotating, thereby improving stability and reducing wear.
[0030] Furthermore, the diameter of the rubber pressure roller 21 is larger than that of the corrugated roller 13. In use, the larger volume provides greater pressure and flexibility, improving adaptability to cinnamon sticks of different shapes.
[0031] Furthermore, a waste discharge hopper 210 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 below the corrugated roller 13 and the blade 23. During use, the shredded cinnamon bark falls into the waste discharge hopper 210 through the gap between the corrugated roller 13 and the blade 23 for cleaning, preventing accumulation, blocking the machine, and ensuring stable operation of the equipment.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Unlike Example 1, collecting cinnamon bark during discharge is inconvenient. Therefore, a matching housing 211 is fitted onto the processing frame 12, and a feeding hopper 212 is fixedly installed on one end of the housing 211 near the discharge roller 15. In use, the housing 211 is fixedly fitted onto the processing frame 12, and the feeding hopper 212 is aligned with the discharge roller 15. The peeled cinnamon bark is discharged through the feeding hopper 212, making collection convenient.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
