Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yam technology, specifically to a yam peeling machine. Background Technology
[0002] Yam, scientifically known as Dioscorea opposita, is a plant used for both food and medicine. It is sweet and neutral in nature, entering the lung, spleen, and kidney meridians, and possesses various effects such as strengthening the spleen and lungs, and benefiting the stomach and kidneys. Yam is rich in nutrients, containing starch, protein, mucilage, and other nutrients, making it a popular food. When processing yams, a peeling machine is usually used to quickly remove the outer skin. A yam peeling machine is a specialized mechanical device for peeling yams. Compared to traditional manual methods, using a yam peeling machine significantly improves work efficiency, saves time, and avoids the hygiene problems that may arise from manual peeling, ensuring food safety.
[0003] In existing technologies, when peeling yams using a peeling machine, the yams are generally conveyed by a conveying mechanism, and the blades come into contact with and rub against the yam surface during the conveying process to achieve peeling. Since yams have different diameters, and the conveying mechanism and blades are often set in fixed positions, the conveying mechanism and blades cannot be adjusted flexibly to adapt to the diameter of the yams. This may result in the conveying mechanism and blades not making good contact with the yam surface, which is not conducive to ensuring the conveying effect and peeling quality. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a yam peeling machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-8 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0026] The motor 13 used in this application is a product that can be purchased directly from the market. Its principle and connection method are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0027] A yam peeling machine includes a machine body, which includes a frame 1. A support base 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1. A feed wheel 12 is movably connected to the inner side of the support base 11. A motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the support base 11. A transmission belt 14 is movably connected to the surface of the feed wheel 12. A hand crank 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the feed wheel 12. The feed wheels 12 are arranged in two sets. One set of feed wheels 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13, and the other set of feed wheels 12 is fixedly connected to the hand crank 15. Both sets of feed wheels 12 are movably connected to the transmission belt 14 via synchronous pulleys. A blade housing 16 is provided inside the frame 1. The inner side of the blade housing 16 is movably connected to the drive belt 14. The machine is connected to a mounting bracket 17, on the surface of which a peeling knife 18 is mounted. A pressure roller 19 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1. Through the setting of the transmission belt 14, when one set of feed rollers 12 rotates under the action of the motor 13 or the hand crank 15, the transmission belt 14 can drive the other set of feed rollers 12, so that the two sets of feed rollers 12 can rotate at the same time. When the feed rollers 12 rotate, they work with the pressure roller 19 to squeeze and rub the yam, so that the yam can move forward. The feed rollers 12 and the pressure roller 19 are arranged in a funnel shape so that the yam can only move in the center, which can prevent it from deviating. The peeling knife 18 can peel the yam.
[0028] An adaptive mechanism is provided on the inner side of the frame 1. The adaptive mechanism includes a first connecting rod 2, which is movably connected to the inner side of the frame 1. A connecting frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first connecting rod 2. A pressure roller 19 is movably connected to the inner side of the connecting frame 21. A first spring 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame 21. A connecting plate 23 is movably connected to the surface of the blade housing 16. A mounting frame 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 23. A second connecting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 23. A connecting block 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second connecting rod 24. A roller 26 is movably connected to the inner side of the connecting block 25. A second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 25. The second connecting rod 24 and the mounting frame 17 are connected through the connecting plate 23, so that when the connecting plate 23 moves under the action of the second connecting rod 24, it can drive the mounting frame 17 to move accordingly. This makes it easier for the peeling knife 18 to adapt to peeling yams of different diameters, thus improving the flexibility of peeling.
[0029] Furthermore, the first connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 21 in two sets, one end of the first spring 22 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the other end of the first spring 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 21. Through the setting of the first spring 22, the first connecting rod 2 can move inside the frame 1 and realize the connecting frame 21 to drive the pressure roller 19 to rise and fall, so that the pressure roller 19 can adapt to the size of the yam when pressing it down.
[0030] Furthermore, the second connecting rod 24 is movable inside the blade housing 16, one end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the blade housing 16, and the other end of the second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 25. Through the setting of the second spring 27, the second connecting rod 24 can move inside the blade housing 16 and can apply a certain force to the connecting block 25, thereby ensuring the contact and squeezing between the roller 26 and the yam surface, thus facilitating better contact between the peeling knife 18 and the yam surface.
[0031] Furthermore, a replacement mechanism is provided on the inner side of the mounting frame 17. The replacement mechanism includes a movable groove 3, which is located on the inner side of the mounting frame 17. A third spring 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 3. A telescopic rod 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the third spring 31. An insert rod 33 is movably connected to the inner side of the telescopic rod 32. A slot 34 is provided on the inner side of the peeling knife 18. A pull rod 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the insert rod 33. A fixing rod 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the telescopic rod 32. A fourth spring 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pull rod 35. By moving the insert rod 33 to engage and disengage with the slot 34, the peeling knife 18 can be fixed and released, thus facilitating the replacement of the peeling knife 18 and ensuring the peeling effect of the peeling knife 18 on yams.
[0032] Furthermore, one end of the third spring 31 is fixedly connected to the movable groove 3, and the other end of the third spring 31 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 32. The telescopic rod 32 is movable inside the movable groove 3. The peeler 18 is movably connected to the telescopic rod 32. Through the setting of the third spring 31, the telescopic rod 32 can move within the movable groove 3 and can be reset, thereby allowing the telescopic rod 32 to retract into the movable groove 3 in conjunction with the reset of the third spring 31. This facilitates the insertion or removal of the peeler 18 from the telescopic rod 32, thus facilitating the installation or separation of the peeler 18 and the mounting bracket 17.
[0033] Furthermore, the pull rod 35 and the fixed rod 36 are movably connected, one end of the fourth spring 37 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 35, and the other end of the fourth spring 37 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 36. By setting the fourth spring 37, the pull rod 35 can be reset, which facilitates the insertion of the insertion rod 33 and the slot 34, and can fix the peeler 18.
[0034] Working principle: When yams of different diameters enter the space between the feed roller 12 and the pressure roller 19, the elasticity of the first spring 22 allows the first connecting rod 2 to move within the frame 1 and apply a certain force to the connecting frame 21. This causes the connecting frame 21 to lift the pressure roller 19, adjusting its position to accommodate the yam diameter. Simultaneously, the elasticity of the second spring 27 allows the second connecting rod 24 to move within the blade housing 16, causing the connecting block 25 to change the position of the roller 26. Consequently, the connecting plate 23 moves under the action of the second connecting rod 24, enabling the mounting frame 17 to move the peeling knife 18. This allows the roller 26 and peeling knife 18 to adjust to the yam diameter with the cooperation of the connecting plate 23 and the second spring 27, ensuring contact between the roller 26 and peeling knife 18 and the yam surface.
[0035] By pulling the lever 35, the lever 35 moves on the surface of the fixed lever 36. At this time, the fourth spring 37 is in a contracted state, allowing the insert rod 33 to move within the telescopic lever 32 under the action of the lever 35 and separate from the slot 34, thereby releasing the fixation of the peeling knife 18. Then, by pushing the telescopic lever 32, the telescopic lever 32 moves into the movable slot 3, causing the peeling knife 18 to disengage from the telescopic lever 32. At this time, the third spring 31 is in a contracted state, thus removing the peeling knife 18 and enabling the peeling knife 18 to be removed. Replacement: When it is necessary to install the peeler 18, the telescopic rod 32 is inserted into the movable slot 3, and the peeler 18 and the telescopic rod 32 are aligned. The telescopic rod 32 is reset under the rebound action of the third spring 31, thereby allowing the peeler 18 to enter the telescopic rod 32. Then, the pull rod 35 is released, and the pull rod 35 is reset under the rebound action of the fourth spring 37, thereby allowing the insertion rod 33 to be reset and inserted into the slot 34, thus fixing the peeler 18 and completing the installation of the peeler 18.
[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the description above. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
