Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peeling device technology, and more specifically, to an auxiliary device for quickly peeling pomelos. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional grapefruit openers are usually handheld tools made of materials such as stainless steel. They have curved handles and sharp blades, with the blade shape and angle designed to easily insert into the grapefruit peel and cut it open.

[0003] Existing handheld grapefruit peelers require a horizontal cut along the blade to separate the peel into upper and lower sections, followed by a vertical cut to create a textured pattern. During the horizontal cut, the blades must remain connected end-to-end to form a circular cut. The simple blade structure of existing peelers makes this difficult, as the angle of force applied during cutting can cause the blades to warp, affecting the peeling process and making them inconvenient to use. Therefore, we propose a grapefruit peeling aid device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a quick peeling aid for pomelos to solve the technical problem that the horizontal opening of pomelos is inconvenient and affects the peeling quality.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pomelo quick peeling auxiliary device, including a shovel, an assembly mechanism and a connecting cylinder. A separator blade is fixed to the upper outer side of the shovel, and the separator blade has a serrated design. The upper end of the shovel is inserted and installed on the connecting cylinder. The upper end of the connecting cylinder is provided with a handle, and the lower end of the handle is provided with a connecting rod. The connecting rod is threaded on the connecting cylinder. The assembly mechanism is installed at the lower end of the shovel, and the upper side of the assembly cylinder of the assembly mechanism has an input port.

[0006] In use, the operator holds the handle and inserts the connector at the lower end of the handle into the top of the grapefruit. The outer end of the shovel blade is then pressed against the center of the grapefruit peel. The lower end of the shovel blade is pressed down to cut into the grapefruit peel. The shovel blade is then pushed to rotate around the handle, causing the blade to make circular cuts in the center of the grapefruit peel. After cutting, the device is separated. The device is then flipped over, and the shovel blade is used to make longitudinal cuts on the grapefruit peel surface while holding the handle. After cutting, the shovel blade is inserted into the transverse cut. By inserting and lifting the blade, the grapefruit peel is separated from the pulp, completing the peeling process. This circular cutting method, centered on the handle, ensures that the transverse cuts are cut into the grapefruit peel. The clean cuts facilitate the subsequent lifting of the shovel to separate the skin from the flesh. The evenly distributed cuts make it easy for the shovel to enter the blade, while preventing damage to the flesh due to incorrect cutting angle, ensuring the quality of peeling. Pressing down the pressing plate lowers it, and the inclined opening at the lower end of the pressing plate squeezes the inclined pressing opening, causing the movable block to move outward. At this time, the segmented pieces at the outer end of the movable block protrude from the movable groove, facilitating ring cutting. When lifting the shovel, the pressing plate needs to be pulled up, and the spring drives the segmented pieces to return to the movable groove. The adjustable operation facilitates switching between ring cutting and lifting modes. The upper end of the shovel is positioned by the connecting rod after entering the connection port. The detachable design makes the device highly operable and easy to maintain in case of damage.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the shovel blade has a limiting hole, and the lower end of one side of the connecting cylinder has a connecting port, with the limiting hole portion of the shovel blade inserted into the connecting port.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the connecting rod passes through the interior of the limiting hole, the lower end of the connecting rod protrudes from the bottom opening of the connecting cylinder, and the lower end of the connecting rod has an insertion port.

[0009] Preferably, the assembly mechanism consists of a pressing plate and an assembly cylinder. The inner end of the assembly cylinder is provided with a movable groove, and a movable block is slidably installed in the movable groove. The inner end of the movable block is provided with a dividing plate.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the movable groove is provided with a spring, and the outer end of the spring is fixed on the movable block, and the upper side of the movable block is provided with a slanted pressure port.

[0011] Preferably, the shovel blade has an arc-shaped structure design, and the lower inner side of the shovel blade is provided with an inclined shovel-in end, with the assembly cylinder being installed through the shovel-in end.

[0012] Preferably, a pressure plate is installed through the upper side of the shovel end of the shovel blade, and the lower end of the pressure plate is inserted into the inlet, wherein the lower end of the pressure plate is adapted to the inclined surface of the inclined pressure port.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model features a design that allows the operator to hold the handle and insert the connector at the lower end of the handle into the top of the grapefruit. The outer end of the spade blade is then pressed against the center of the grapefruit peel. The spade blade is pressed down to cut into the grapefruit peel. The spade blade is then pushed to rotate around the handle, causing the spade blade to make circular cuts in the center of the grapefruit peel. After cutting, the device is separated, then flipped over. Holding the handle, the separator blade is used to make longitudinal cuts on the grapefruit peel. After cutting, the spade blade is inserted into the horizontal cut. By inserting and lifting the blade, the grapefruit peel is separated from the pulp, completing the peeling process. This circular cutting method around the handle ensures a smooth horizontal cut, facilitating the subsequent lifting of the spade blade to separate the peel from the pulp. The evenly distributed cuts facilitate the insertion of the spade blade and prevent damage to the pulp due to incorrect cutting angles, ensuring the quality of the peeling.

[0015] 2. This utility model also incorporates a connecting cylinder and assembly mechanism. Pressing the pressure plate causes it to descend, and the inclined opening at the lower end of the pressure plate squeezes the inclined pressure opening, causing the movable block to move outward. At this time, the segmented slice at the outer end of the movable block protrudes from the movable groove, facilitating circumferential cutting. When performing the shovel blade lifting operation, the pressure plate needs to be pulled up, and the spring drives the segmented slice to return to the movable groove. The adjustable operation facilitates switching between the circumferential cutting and lifting working states of the device. At the same time, after the upper end of the shovel blade is inserted into the connecting port, it is positioned by the connecting rod. The detachable design makes this device highly operable and easy to maintain after damage. Attached Figure Description

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model relates to a pomelo quick peeling auxiliary device, including a shovel 2, an assembly mechanism 3, and a connecting cylinder 4. A separator 1 is fixed to the upper outer side of the shovel 2, and the separator 1 has a serrated design. The upper end of the shovel 2 is inserted into the connecting cylinder 4. The upper end of the connecting cylinder 4 is provided with a handle 5, and the lower end of the handle 5 is provided with a connecting rod 502. The connecting rod 502 is threaded onto the connecting cylinder 4, and the lower end of the connecting rod 502 passes through the interior of a limiting hole 202. The lower end of the connecting rod 502 protrudes from the bottom opening of the connecting cylinder 4, and the lower end of the connecting rod 502 has an insertion port 501. The upper end of the shovel 2 has a limiting hole 202, and the lower side of the connecting cylinder 4 has a connecting port 401. The limiting hole 202 portion of the shovel 2 is inserted into the connecting port 401. The operator holds the handle 5 and inserts the lower end of the handle 5 into the connecting rod 502. Insert the 501 of the spatula 2 into the top of the pomelo, so that the outer end of the spatula 2, the dividing slice 307, fits against the middle part of the pomelo surface. Press down the lower end of the spatula 2 to make the dividing slice 307 cut into the inside of the pomelo peel. Then push the spatula 2 to rotate around the handle 5 as the center. The dividing slice 307 makes a circular cut in the middle of the pomelo peel. After the cutting is completed, separate the device, then flip the device over. Hold the handle 5 and use the separating knife 1 to make a longitudinal cut on the surface of the pomelo peel. After the cutting is completed, insert the spatula 2 from the horizontal cut position. By inserting and lifting, the pomelo peel is separated from the pulp to complete the peeling operation. By the above-mentioned circular cutting method with the handle 5 as the center, the horizontal cut is flat, which makes it easier for the spatula 2 to lift up and complete the peel and pulp separation. The flat cut makes it easy for the spatula 2 to enter the knife, and at the same time prevents damage to the pulp due to incorrect cutting angle, ensuring the quality of peeling.

[0023] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, this utility model relates to a pomelo quick peeling auxiliary device, including a shovel blade 2, an assembly mechanism 3, and a connecting cylinder 4. The assembly mechanism 3 is installed at the lower end of the shovel blade 2. The assembly cylinder 308 of the assembly mechanism 3 has an inlet 302 on its upper side. The assembly mechanism 3 is composed of a pressing plate 301 and an assembly cylinder 308. The inner end of the assembly cylinder 308 has a movable groove 303, and a movable block 306 is slidably installed in the movable groove 303. The inner end of the movable block 306 has a dividing slice 307. The bottom of the movable groove 303 has a spring 305, and the outer end of the spring 305 is fixed to the movable block 306. The upper side of the movable block 306 has a slanted pressing port 304. The shovel blade 2 has an arc-shaped structure design, and the lower inner side of the shovel blade 2 has an inclined shovel inlet 201. The assembly cylinder 308 is installed through the shovel inlet 201. A pressure plate 301 is installed through the upper side of the shovel end 201 of the shovel blade 2, and the lower end of the pressure plate 301 is inserted into the inlet 302. The lower end of the pressure plate 301 is adapted to the inclined surface of the inclined pressure port 304. Pressing the pressure plate 301 makes it descend, and the inclined port of the lower end of the pressure plate 301 squeezes the inclined pressure port 304, causing the movable block 306 to move outward. At this time, the slicing piece 307 at the outer end of the movable block 306 protrudes from the movable groove 303, which is convenient for ring cutting. When the shovel blade 2 is lifted, the pressure plate 301 needs to be pulled up, and the slicing piece 307 is driven to return to the movable groove 303 by the spring 305. The adjustable operation makes it easy to switch between the ring cutting and lifting working states of the device. At the same time, after the upper end of the shovel blade 2 is inserted into the connection port 401, it is positioned by the connecting rod 502. The detachable design makes the device highly operable and easy to maintain after damage.

[0024] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a quick grapefruit peeling aid. In use, the operator holds the handle 5 and inserts the connector 501 of the lower end of the handle 5 into the top of the grapefruit. The outer end of the spatula 2, the dividing slice 307, adheres to the center of the grapefruit surface. Pressing down on the lower end of the spatula 2 causes the dividing slice 307 to cut into the grapefruit peel. Then, the spatula 2 is pushed to rotate around the handle 5, causing the dividing slice 307 to make a circular cut in the center of the grapefruit peel. After cutting, the device is separated. The device is then flipped over, and the separator 1 is used to make longitudinal cuts on the grapefruit peel surface while holding the handle 5. After cutting, the spatula 2 is inserted from the transverse cut position, flat... The evenly distributed cuts facilitate the entry of the shovel blade 2, while preventing damage to the fruit pulp due to incorrect entry angle, ensuring the quality of peeling. Pressing down the pressing plate 301 lowers it, and the inclined opening at the lower end of the pressing plate 301 squeezes the inclined pressing opening 304, causing the movable block 306 to move outward. At this time, the segmented slice 307 at the outer end of the movable block 306 protrudes from the movable groove 303, facilitating ring cutting. When the shovel blade 2 is lifted, the pressing plate 301 needs to be pulled up, and the segmented slice 307 is driven back into the movable groove 303 by the spring 305. The adjustable operation facilitates the switching between ring cutting and lifting working states of the device. At the same time, after the upper end of the shovel blade 2 is inserted into the connecting port 401, it is positioned by the connecting rod 502.
