Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a skin separation component and a food processor. Background Technology

[0002] A food processor is generally used to process ingredients such as grains and beans by grinding, juicing, and cooking. However, when processing ingredients with a skin, such as rice, the skin needs to be separated separately. This ensures that the grains are processed without impurities during grinding, crushing, or cooking.

[0003] However, existing food processors do not completely separate the skin from the food ingredients, and the peeled food ingredients are often mixed with the skin, requiring a second separation, which results in poor separation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a skin separation component and a food processor, wherein the food material can enter the separation interval through the outlet, and the skin of the food material is removed by the action between the rotating blade and the separation part on the guide. The removed food material is then thrown out through the mesh of the blade screen, and the removed skin is thrown out through the top of the throwing interval.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its problem is:

[0006] An epidermal separation component, comprising,

[0007] A cutting tool assembly, comprising a cutting disc and a cutting mesh, the cutting mesh surrounding the outer periphery of the cutting disc; the cutting disc having a plurality of cutting teeth; the cutting mesh having a plurality of mesh openings;

[0008] A material guide is provided with a separation section, an inlet, and an outlet. The material guide is located inside the cutter head and above the cutter disc. The separation section is located at the bottom end of the material guide and is spaced apart from the cutter disc to form a separation interval. The outlet is used to guide material into the separation interval. The outer peripheral wall of the material guide and the inner peripheral wall of the cutter head are spaced apart to form a throwing interval.

[0009] A driving component, which is used to drive the cutter head to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the outlet is located at the bottom end of the guide, and the separation part surrounds the outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom end of the guide member is provided with a separation surface, which surrounds the outer periphery of the outlet and forms the separation part.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide component is provided with a guide slope, which gradually slopes from top to bottom toward the outlet and connects to the outlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the blade mesh gradually tilts inward from top to bottom.

[0014] Furthermore, the skin separation assembly also includes a guide seat, which has a guide cavity, and the blade assembly is disposed in the guide cavity; the bottom end of the guide cavity has an outlet channel; the driving end of the driving member extends into the guide cavity and is connected to the blade disc.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom end of the cutter disc is provided with multiple sets of cutting teeth, which are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the cutter disc, and each set of cutting teeth includes multiple cutting teeth.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the cutting teeth gradually changes in the rotation direction of the cutter head.

[0017] A food processor includes a body and a skin separation component, the skin separation component being installed in the body.

[0018] Furthermore, the machine body is also provided with a first barrel and a second barrel. The first barrel is connected to the mesh and is used to receive the material with the skin removed after being thrown out by the mesh. The second barrel is connected to the top of the throwing interval and is used to receive the skin.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following technical effects:

[0020] 1. During the peeling process, the blades can cut through the surface of the material to be peeled. At the same time, the blade disc rotates, and the material in the separation interval can be turned to different angles under the action of rotational friction and centrifugal force. Combined with the friction of the separation section, the surface can be removed, and the surface is completely removed.

[0021] 2. Because a throwing interval is set between the guide and the blade mesh, and the throwing interval is surrounded by the separation interval, the skin and peeled material separated in the separation interval enter the throwing interval. During the high-speed rotation of the blade mesh, the lighter skin can be suspended and thrown out to the outside of the top of the throwing interval, while the heavier peeled material is discharged through several mesh holes on the blade mesh, thus achieving peeling of the material without the need for secondary separation.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0030] See Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an epidermal separation component, including a blade assembly, a guide component 40, and a drive component 30. The blade assembly includes a blade disc 10 and a blade mesh 20. The blade mesh 20 is arranged around the outer periphery of the blade disc 10, and the blade disc 10 is provided with a plurality of blade teeth 11. The blade mesh 20 is provided with a plurality of mesh holes 21. The drive component 30 can drive the blade disc 10 to rotate. Since the blade mesh 20 is connected to the blade disc 10, the blade mesh 20 can also rotate when the blade disc 10 rotates.

[0031] The aforementioned guide component 40 is installed on the cutter assembly. Specifically, the guide component 40 is inserted into the cutter head 20. The guide component 40 is located inside the cutter head 20 and above the cutter disc 10. The guide component 40 is provided with a separation part, an inlet 41, and an outlet 42.

[0032] The separation section is located at the bottom end of the guide member 40. The separation section at the bottom end of the guide member 40 is spaced apart from the cutter head 10 and forms a separation interval. The outlet 42 can guide the material into the separation interval. The outer peripheral wall of the guide member 40 and the inner peripheral wall of the cutter head 20 form a throwing interval.

[0033] Based on the above structure, when using the skin separation component of this utility model, the food material to be peeled is put into the inlet 41 of the guide 40. In this way, the material 91 to be peeled can be guided to the separation interval through the outlet 42 of the guide 40. The drive 30 is started, driving the blade 10 to rotate. Since there is the material 91 to be peeled in the separation interval, the material 91 to be peeled can contact the blade teeth 11 and the separation part on the skin 92 respectively. During the rotation of the blade 10, it can rub against the skin 92.

[0034] During the peeling process, the blade 11 can cut through the skin 92 of the material to be peeled. At the same time, the blade disc 10 rotates, and the material in the separation interval can be turned to different angles under the action of rotational friction and centrifugal force. Combined with the friction of the separation part, the skin 92 can be removed, and the skin 92 is completely removed.

[0035] After the peel 92 separates from the material, the peeled material and peel 92 are thrown out into the throwing interval by the centrifugal force of the continuously rotating cutter disc 10. The blade mesh 20 is also connected to the cutter disc 10 and moves with it. Therefore, the material with peel 92 removed that enters the throwing interval can be thrown to the side wall of the blade mesh 20 and thrown out through several mesh holes 21 on the blade mesh 20. Since the peel 92 is relatively light, it can be suspended in a state by the centrifugal force of the blade mesh 20 and thrown out through the top of the throwing interval.

[0036] It should be noted that the height of the separation interval should not be too large or too small. If the separation interval is too large, the material is easily thrown out directly and can only be initially cut by the blade 11, resulting in incomplete peeling. If the separation interval is too small, the material is prone to getting stuck inside. In this embodiment, the height of the separation interval is set to match the diameter of the material so that the material is in a state of frictional contact after entering the separation interval.

[0037] Furthermore, if the ejection interval does not exist, the material and the peel 92 within the separation interval can be simultaneously introduced into an external material container for manual secondary screening to separate the peel 92 from the peeled material 91, resulting in low peeling efficiency. In this embodiment, however, an ejection interval is set between the guide 40 and the blade mesh 20, surrounding the separation interval. After the peel 92 and peeled material 91 are separated within the separation interval, they enter the ejection interval. During the high-speed rotation of the blade mesh 20, the lighter peel 92 can be suspended and ejected to the top outside of the ejection interval, while the heavier peeled material 91 is discharged through several mesh holes 21 on the blade mesh 20, achieving material peeling without the need for secondary separation.

[0038] Of course, the material to be peeled can be grains in the prior art, where peeling 92 is removing the husk of the grain to obtain the grain; or beans in the prior art, such as soybeans, where peeling 92 is removing the bean skin to obtain the bean; or garlic cloves, where peeling 92 is removing the outer skin of the garlic cloves.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outlet 42 is located at the bottom end of the guide member 40, and the separation part is arranged around the outlet 42. In this way, during the continuous introduction of material through the inlet 41, the material falls to the outlet 42 and is introduced into the separation interval through the middle position of the bottom end of the guide member 40. Then, under the action of the centrifugal force of the rotating cutter disc 10, it enters the separation interval in a circumferential direction. The surrounding separation part cooperates with the blade teeth 11 to peel the material. In this way, the material is introduced more evenly, reducing the uneven peeling caused by the stacking of materials.

[0040] Specifically, the bottom end of the guide member 40 is provided with a separation surface, and the separation surface surrounds the outer periphery of the outlet 42 and forms a separation part. That is, the bottom surface of the guide member 40 forms a separation part. The bottom surface of the guide member 40 is pressed onto the surface of the material, and the surface skin 92 is removed by friction in conjunction with the blade teeth 11.

[0041] Alternatively, a protruding structure can be provided on the bottom surface of the guide member 40 to form a separation part at the bottom of the guide member 40, thereby increasing friction. Or, a structure that can increase surface friction can be provided on the bottom of the guide member 40.

[0042] Furthermore, the aforementioned guide component 40 is provided with a guide slope 43, which gradually slopes from top to bottom toward the guide outlet 42 and connects to the outlet 42. In this way, after the material enters the guide component 40, it can be guided toward the guide outlet 42 by the guide slope 43. The setting of the guide slope 43 can also prevent the material from accumulating at the outlet 42, and the material is evenly distributed during discharge.

[0043] Furthermore, the blade mesh 20 gradually tilts inward from top to bottom, thus creating an outlet gap whose inner diameter increases from bottom to top. When the blade mesh 20 rotates, the peeled skin 92 and the de-peeled material 91, upon entering the outlet gap and rotating, generate centrifugal force according to the formula F = mω. 2 r, where F is the centrifugal force, m is the mass of the object, ω is the angular velocity, and r is the radius of the circular motion. During the rotation of the skin 92, due to its lighter mass, the centrifugal force increases as r gradually increases during the upward motion, allowing it to be thrown upwards and separated from the peeled material 91. However, because the peeled material 91 is relatively heavier, it tends to settle at the bottom, thus experiencing a greater centrifugal force and being thrown out through the mesh 21 on the side wall of the blade mesh 20 during the upward motion.

[0044] Furthermore, to facilitate the centralized discharge of the peeled material 91, the aforementioned skin separation assembly also includes a guide seat 50, and the guide seat 50 has a guide cavity 51, in which the blade assembly is disposed. Specifically, the blade disc 10 is rotatably mounted in the guide cavity 51, and the drive shaft of the aforementioned drive member 30 can extend into the guide cavity 51 and connect to the blade disc 10. The bottom end of the guide cavity 51 is provided with an outlet channel 52. During material separation, the material 91 to be peeled is guided into the guide member 40 through the inlet 41, and then guided to the separation interval through the outlet 42. The blade teeth 11 of the separation interval cooperate with the separation part at the bottom end of the guide member 40 to remove the skin 92 of the material.

[0045] After the skin 92 is removed, it can be thrown out into the throwing interval by the rotating cutter head 10. At the same time, the cutter mesh 20 rotates, so the lighter skin 92 is guided upward to the top of the throwing interval by centrifugal force and then thrown out. The peeled material 91 can be thrown out into the guide cavity 51 through the mesh 21 of the cutter mesh 20 and collected into the discharge channel 52 of the guide cavity 51 for centralized discharge. The guide cavity 51 of the guide seat 50 can be used for temporary storage of the peeled material 91.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the cutter disc 10 is provided with multiple sets of cutting teeth. The multiple sets of cutting teeth are distributed at intervals in the circumferential direction of the cutter disc 10. Each set of cutting teeth includes multiple cutting teeth 11. The multiple cutting teeth 11 in the same set of cutting teeth can be distributed at intervals in the radial direction of the cutter disc 10. In this way, multiple cutting teeth 11 can be provided in both the circumferential and radial directions of the cutter disc 10. This results in a uniform distribution of the cutting teeth 11 structure, which can uniformly peel the material within the separation interval.

[0047] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the blade 11 gradually changes in the rotation direction of the cutter disc 10. Thus, the outer diameter of the blade 11 itself gradually changes, and during rotation, the blade 11 makes frictional contact with the material surface 92 with different outer diameters. For example, the end with a smaller outer diameter of the blade 11 can have a pointed head relative to the end with a larger outer diameter of the blade 11, which can more easily cut through the material surface 92 and achieve higher peeling efficiency.

[0048] Example 2,

[0049] A food processor includes a body 60 and a skin separation component as described in Embodiment 1, wherein the skin separation component is mounted on the body 60. Specifically, the skin separation component may be mounted inside the processing cavity of the body 60, or, if the skin separation component is provided with a guide seat 50, the guide seat 50 may be mounted on the body 60, the blade assembly of the skin separation component may be mounted inside the guide cavity 51 of the guide seat 50, and the drive unit 30 may be mounted on the body 60.

[0050] The food material to be peeled is placed into the inlet 41 of the guide 40. The material 91 to be peeled can be guided to the separation interval through the outlet 42 of the guide 40. The drive 30 is started, which drives the blade 10 to rotate. Since there is the material 91 to be peeled in the separation interval, the material 91 to be peeled can contact the blade teeth 11 and the separation part on the skin 92. During the rotation of the blade 10, it can rub against the skin 92.

[0051] During the peeling process, the blade 11 can cut through the skin 92 of the material to be peeled. At the same time, the blade disc 10 rotates, and the material in the separation interval can be turned to different angles under the action of rotational friction and centrifugal force. Combined with the friction of the separation part, the skin 92 can be removed, and the skin 92 is completely removed.

[0052] After the peel 92 separates from the material, the peeled material and peel 92 are thrown out into the throwing interval by the centrifugal force of the continuously rotating cutter disc 10. The blade mesh 20 is also connected to the cutter disc 10 and moves with it. Therefore, the material with peel 92 removed that enters the throwing interval can be thrown to the side wall of the blade mesh 20 and thrown out through several mesh holes 21 on the blade mesh 20. Since the peel 92 is relatively light, it can be suspended in a state by the centrifugal force of the blade mesh 20 and thrown out through the top of the throwing interval.

[0053] It should be noted that the height of the separation interval should not be too large or too small. If the separation interval is too large, the material is easily thrown out directly and can only be initially cut by the blade 11, resulting in incomplete peeling. If the separation interval is too small, the material is prone to getting stuck inside. In this embodiment, the height of the separation interval is set to match the diameter of the material so that the material is in a state of frictional contact after entering the separation interval.

[0054] Furthermore, if the ejection interval does not exist, the material and the peel 92 within the separation interval can be simultaneously introduced into an external material container for manual secondary screening to separate the peel 92 from the peeled material 91, resulting in low peeling efficiency. In this embodiment, however, an ejection interval is set between the guide 40 and the blade mesh 20, surrounding the separation interval. After the peel 92 and peeled material 91 are separated within the separation interval, they enter the ejection interval. During the high-speed rotation of the blade mesh 20, the lighter peel 92 can be suspended and ejected to the top outside of the ejection interval, while the heavier peeled material 91 is discharged through several mesh holes 21 on the blade mesh 20, achieving material peeling without the need for secondary separation.

[0055] Of course, the material to be peeled can be grains in the prior art, where peeling 92 is removing the husk of the grain to obtain the grain; or beans in the prior art, such as soybeans, where peeling 92 is removing the bean skin to obtain the bean; or garlic cloves, where peeling 92 is removing the outer skin of the garlic cloves.

[0056] More specifically, the machine body 60 may also be equipped with a first barrel 70 and a second barrel 80. The first barrel 70 is connected to the mesh 21 and is used to receive the material with the skin removed 92 that has been thrown out through the mesh 21. The second barrel 80 is connected to the top of the throwing interval and is used to receive the skin 92. During assembly, the top opening of the first barrel can be connected to the processing cavity of the machine body 60 or the outlet channel 52 of the guide seat 50, while the top of the second barrel can be connected to the top of the throwing interval through the outlet cover. In this way, the first barrel 70 and the second barrel 80 respectively receive the peeled material 91 and the removed skin 92 without the need for separate separation or collection.

[0057] Both the first barrel 70 and the second barrel 80 can be detachably installed on the machine body 60 for easy removal and processing.

[0058] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
