Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery, and in particular to an automatic electric fruit peeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and their health awareness increases, fruit is playing an increasingly important role in their daily diet. However, peeling fruit has always been a major problem, especially for irregularly shaped fruits. Traditional manual peeling methods are not only inefficient but also easily lead to fruit waste and hygiene issues.

[0003] To address this issue, various electric fruit peelers have emerged on the market, the most common being the single-motor rotary peeler. These peelers typically use rotating blades or abrasive wheels to remove the peel, offering advantages such as simple operation and high efficiency. However, in practical use, traditional single-motor rotary peelers present numerous technical challenges when dealing with irregularly shaped fruits. For instance, traditional single-motor rotary peelers usually use blades or abrasive wheels at fixed angles, making it difficult to adapt to the curved surfaces of fruits of different shapes and sizes, resulting in uneven peel thickness. For example, with fruits like apples and pears, the area near the stem and calyx is often peeled more thickly, while the middle portion is peeled less, sometimes even leaving some peel residue. This not only affects the appearance and taste of the fruit but also leads to wasted fruit pulp. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an automatic electric fruit peeling machine, which solves the problem of uneven peeling thickness in existing fruit peeling machines.

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments:

[0041] Example

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the automatic electric fruit peeler includes:

[0043] Base 1 has an internal hollow structure and an opening at the bottom to facilitate maintenance of the interior.

[0044] Sleeve 2 is inserted into the right side of base 1. The right side of base 1 has a groove for inserting sleeve 2. Sleeve 2 has a slide 3 on the right side. The top of sleeve 2 is covered by a top cover 4.

[0045] The first slip ring 5 is slidably connected to the sleeve 2. A connecting arm 6 is integrally formed on the left side of the first slip ring 5, and a stepped hole is opened at the free end of the connecting arm 6. A rubber block 7 is integrally formed on the other side of the first slip ring 5. The rubber block 7 is engaged in the slide rail 3. After the first slip ring 5 is slid, it can be restricted to the corresponding height of the slide rail 3 by the rubber block 7.

[0046] The upper socket 8 is rotatably connected to the first slip ring 5. The center of the upper socket 8 is connected to a TT-shaped post 9, which is rotatably connected to the stepped hole through a bearing 10.

[0047] The lower socket 11 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and the lower socket 11 is positioned opposite to the upper socket 8.

[0048] A drive component is used to drive the lower socket 11 to rotate; in this embodiment, the drive component includes:

[0049] The first motor 12 is bolted to a support plate 13, which is welded to the left side of the base 1.

[0050] The first drive gear 14 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 12.

[0051] The first driven gear 15 meshes with the first driving gear 14.

[0052] The first rotating shaft 16 passes through the center of the first driven gear 15. The first rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via the bearing 10. The base 1 has a stepped hole located outside the sleeve 2. The first rotating shaft 16 is disposed in the stepped hole and is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the lower socket 11.

[0053] The blade 17 is slidably connected to the sleeve 2. The surface of the blade 17 is coated with a Teflon coating, which can reduce the adhesion of fruit pulp and prevent juice from being carried out with the blade 17.

[0054] A lifting assembly is used to move the cutter head 17 up or down on the sleeve 2. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes:

[0055] The second motor 18 is bolted to a support plate 13, which is welded to the right side of the base 1 and located below the sleeve 2.

[0056] The second drive gear 19 is mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 18.

[0057] The second driven gear 20 meshes with the second driving gear 19;

[0058] The second rotating shaft 21 passes through the center of the second driven gear 20 and is rotatably connected to the groove of the base 1. The groove of the base 1 is provided with a stepped hole, and the second rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the stepped hole of the groove through the bearing 10.

[0059] The lead screw 22 has a screw 23 coaxially arranged at the bottom center with the second rotating shaft 21. The screw 23 passes through the center of the second rotating shaft 21, and the lead screw 22 is rotatably connected to the center inside the sleeve 2.

[0060] Lead screw nut 24 is mounted on lead screw 22.

[0061] The second slip ring 25 has a connecting rod 26 integrally formed on its inner side. The connecting rod 26 is slidably connected in the slide rail 3 and is fixedly connected to the lead screw 22 and nut. The second slip ring 25 is slidably connected to the outside of the sleeve 2.

[0062] The blade arm 27 is rotatably connected to one side of the second slip ring 25 via a pin. The blade arm 27 is located outside the sleeve 2, and the blade head 17 is located at the free end of the blade arm 27. In this embodiment, both the blade arm 27 and the second slip ring 25 are provided with fixing rings 28, and a tension spring 29 is connected between the two fixing rings 28. The tension spring 29 is always in a stretched state, so as to maintain a certain squeezing force on the fruit during the fruit peeling process, thereby achieving a uniform peel thickness.

[0063] In this embodiment, the base 1 is made of iron, and a collection box 30 is provided on one side of the base 1. One side of the collection box 30 is made of magnet, which allows for easier connection and disassembly of the collection box 30 to the base 1 through magnetic attraction, thus improving the efficiency of the peeling process. Meanwhile, a control switch 31 electrically connected to the first motor 12 and the second motor 18 is installed on the base 1.

[0064] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0065] First, clean the fruit and place it between the upper socket 8 and the lower socket 11, ensuring that the top and bottom ends or the two inner grooves of the fruit are positioned on the upper socket 8 and the lower socket 11. Once the fruit is positioned, the blade 17 maintains a certain pressure on the surface of the fruit under the action of the tension spring 29. Then, activate the control switch 31. After the control switch 31 is activated, the first motor 12 and the second motor 18 start working simultaneously. After the first motor 12 starts, it drives the first driven gear 15 and the first rotating shaft 16 to rotate through the first driving gear 14. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 16 drives the fruit to rotate through the lower socket 11. After the fruit rotates, the peeling operation is achieved by the action of the blade 17. Meanwhile, after the second motor 18 is started, the second motor 18 drives the second driven gear 20, the second rotating shaft 21 and the screw 23 to rotate through the second driving gear 19. After the screw 23 rotates, it drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. After the lead screw 22 rotates, it drives the lead screw nut 24 to move up and down. After the lead screw nut 24 moves up and down, it drives the connecting rod 26, the second slip ring 25, the blade arm 27 and the blade head 17 to move up and down, thereby enabling the fruit to be peeled from top to bottom.

[0066] Throughout the peeling process, the tension spring 29 maintains a stable tension on the blade arm 27 and the blade head 17, thereby maintaining a stable force on the fruit surface during peeling, thus keeping the thickness of the fruit peel removed approximately the same.

[0067] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known structures and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
