[0033] Example 1

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a lotus root peeling machine, including: a support unit 100, a peeling unit 200, a moving unit 300, and a rinsing unit 400;

[0035] The support unit 100 includes a tare box 101 and a discharge port 102 opened on one side of the tare box 101. The tare box 101 is provided with two door-shaped plates 103 inside, one of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tare box 101.

[0036] The peeling unit 200 is installed on the two door-shaped plates 103 and is used to peel lotus roots.

[0037] A moving unit 300 is disposed on the tare box 101. The moving unit 300 is used to move the door-shaped panel 103 that is not fixed to the tare box 101.

[0038] The rinsing unit 400 is installed on the peeling box 101 and is used to rinse the lotus root.

[0039] One of the gate-shaped plates 103 can move within the peeling box 101 via the moving unit 300. When the two gate-shaped plates 103 are close together, the lotus root is put into the two gate-shaped plates 103 and peeled by the peeling unit 200. The lotus root is then rinsed by the rinsing unit 400 to wash away the mud and debris on the surface of the lotus root. After peeling, the moving unit 300 moves one of the gate-shaped plates 103 to separate the two gate-shaped plates 103, allowing the lotus root to fall down between the two gate-shaped plates 103. The lotus root that falls to the bottom of the peeling box 101 can be discharged through the discharge port 102, thereby discharging all the lotus roots at once to improve the discharge efficiency.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the peeling unit 200 includes multiple gears 201 rotatably connected to the same side of the two gate-shaped plates 103. One end of each gear 201 passes through the gate-shaped plate 103 and is fixedly connected to a brush roller 202. Motor bases 203 are fixedly connected to the same side of the two gate-shaped plates 103. A servo motor 204 is fixedly connected to one side of each motor base 203. The output shaft of each servo motor 204 passes through the motor base 203. The output shaft of each servo motor 204 is fixedly connected to the gear 201 at the corresponding position. A feeding hopper 205 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the gate-shaped plates 103. The bottom of the feeding hopper 205 is inclined towards the center of the two gate-shaped plates 103.

[0042] Multiple gears 201 on the gate plate 103 mesh sequentially. The output end of the servo motor 204 is fixedly connected to one of the gears 201 on the gate plate 103. The servo motor 204 drives the gear 201 to rotate, which in turn drives the other gears 201 on the gate plate 103 to rotate. The brush rollers 202 on the two gate plates 103 are symmetrically distributed. When the two gate plates 103 are pressed together, the brush rollers 202 on the two gate plates 103 are distributed in a U-shape. Lotus roots are fed into the feeding hopper 205 so that the feeding hopper 205 guides the lotus roots into the brush rollers 202 of the two gate plates 103.

[0043] When the lotus root is placed into the two gate-shaped plates 103, the two brush rollers 202 at the bottom support the lotus root. When the gear 201 drives the brush rollers 202 to rotate, the brush rollers 202 peel the lotus root through friction. After peeling, the moving unit 300 moves one of the gate-shaped plates 103 to separate the two gate-shaped plates 103. At this time, the lotus root falls down from the brush rollers 202 of the two gate-shaped plates 103 and is discharged from the discharge port 102.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the moving unit 300 includes an electric push rod 301 fixedly installed on one side of the tare box 101. The output shaft of the electric push rod 301 passes through the tare box 101 and is fixedly connected to one of the door-shaped plates 103. Two T-shaped rods 302 are fixedly connected to one side of one of the door-shaped plates 103. One end of each of the two T-shaped rods 302 slides through the tare box 101. Two hollow covers 303 are fixedly connected to one side of the tare box 101. The ends of the two T-shaped rods 302 are respectively located inside the corresponding hollow covers 303.

[0046] The door-shaped panel 103, which is not fixed to the tare box 101, is positioned near the electric push rod 301. There is a gap between the door-shaped panel 103 and the inner cavity of the tare box 101 for movement. The output end of the electric push rod 301 is fixed to the door-shaped panel 103. The electric push rod 301 can move the door-shaped panel 103. The T-shaped rod 302 can move with the door-shaped panel 103 and is used to improve the stability of the door-shaped panel 103's movement. The electric push rod 301 can make the door-shaped panel 103 approach or separate from another fixed door-shaped panel 103. The movement range of the T-shaped rod 302 does not exceed the length of the hollow cover 303. The hollow cover 303 is used to prevent workers from being accidentally injured by the moving T-shaped rod 302.

[0047] Example 4

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the fourth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the rinsing unit 400 includes two fixing plates 401 fixedly connected to the top of the peeling box 101. A T-shaped tube 402 is fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the two fixing plates 401. Multiple spray pipes 403 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the wall of the T-shaped tube 402.

[0049] The top of the T-shaped pipe 402 can be connected to a water pipe and a water pump to deliver clean water into the T-shaped pipe 402. The water in the T-shaped pipe 402 is discharged through the spray pipe 403 to wash away the mud and debris on the lotus root.

[0050] Furthermore, a filter plate 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the peeling box 101. The filter plate 104 is inclined and passes through the discharge port 102. A rubber pad 105 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 104. The top of the rubber pad 105 has multiple rectangular openings that fit the filter plate 104.

[0051] Soil and debris pass through the rectangular opening of the rubber pad 105 and the filter plate 104, and are discharged from the discharge port 102. The size of the rectangular opening is smaller than the volume of the lotus root. The flexible rubber pad 105 can cushion the falling lotus root to reduce the impact of the lotus root. Then, under the action of gravity, the lotus root rolls along the surface of the rubber pad 105 toward the discharge port 102 and is discharged through the discharge port 102. This can separate the soil and lotus root from each other, keeping the peeled lotus root clean.

[0052] During use, the electric push rod 301 pushes the gate-shaped plate 103 so that the two gate-shaped plates 103 are pressed together. Then, the lotus root is put into the feeding hopper 205 so that the feeding hopper 205 guides the lotus root into the brush roller 202 of the two gate-shaped plates 103. When the lotus root is put into the two gate-shaped plates 103, the two servo motors 204 are started. The two servo motors 204 drive the brush roller 202 to rotate through the gear 201. The brush roller 202 peels the lotus root by friction. Then, the top of the T-shaped tube 402 is connected to a water pipe and a water pump to deliver clean water into the T-shaped tube 402. Then, the spray pipe 403 is used to wash the mud and debris off the lotus root.

[0053] After peeling, the electric push rod 301 moves one of the gate-shaped plates 103, separating the two gate-shaped plates 103. At this time, the lotus root falls onto the rubber pad 105. Then, under the action of gravity, the lotus root rolls along the surface of the rubber pad 105 toward the discharge port 102 and is discharged through the discharge port 102. This allows all the lotus roots to be discharged at once, thereby improving the discharge efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
