[0004] The grapefruit peeling machine described above solves the problem that most existing grapefruit peeling machines only peel the skin, resulting in incomplete grapefruit peels that diminish their usability and fail to meet usage requirements in some situations. However, this machine performs three processes during peeling: cutting off the top, peeling the bottom, and peeling. Furthermore, it divides the middle of the grapefruit peel into six parts during peeling, resulting in eight pieces of peel that are still not completely intact, thus affecting the usability of the grapefruit peel.

[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] A grapefruit peeling device, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the device includes a base 1 and a mounting bracket 2 fixedly connected to the base 1. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and a placement seat 4 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 3. The placement seat 4 is rotatably connected to the base 1. A limit pin 5 is fixedly connected to the placement seat 4. The mounting bracket 2 is equipped with a limiting mechanism for restricting the pomelo and a peeling mechanism for separating the pomelo peel. The limiting mechanism includes an electric push rod 6 fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 2, a fixing plate 7 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 6, and a positioning post 8 rotatably connected to the side of the fixing plate 7 away from the electric push rod 6. The fixing plate 7 is equipped with several clamping components for clamping the upper pomelo peel. The clamping assembly includes two fixed blocks 9 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 7, a positioning rod 10 rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks 9, and a clamping rod 11 fixedly connected to the positioning rod 10. Torque springs 12 are fixedly connected to both fixed blocks 9. The other ends of the two torsion springs 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the clamping rod 11. The torsion springs 12 are sleeved on the positioning rod 10. The fixed frame 2 is provided with a control component for controlling the rotation of the positioning rod 10. The control component includes several telescopic rods 13 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2 and trigger rings 14 fixedly connected to the telescopic ends of the several telescopic rods 13. When the trigger ring 14 contacts the clamping rod 11, the torsion spring 12 is in a deformed state.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, when peeling a grapefruit, first place the grapefruit on the placement seat 4 and press it down so that the limiting pin 5 penetrates the grapefruit. Then, start the electric push rod 6, which extends and moves the fixing plate 7 and the positioning post 8 towards the base 1. At the same time, the trigger ring 14 is also moved towards the base 1 by the locking rod 11, and the telescopic rod 13 starts to extend simultaneously. When the positioning post 8 is half-inserted into the grapefruit, the electric push rod 6 stops extending, and the telescopic rod 13 is extended to its longest state. Then, start the peeling machine. The mechanism and motor 3 work together to complete the ring cutting of the grapefruit peel. Motor 3 is then turned off while the peeling mechanism continues to operate. After the peeling mechanism completes its work, motor 3 is restarted, and the peeling mechanism can separate most of the grapefruit peel from the pulp. Then, motor 3 is turned off, the peeling mechanism is reset, and the electric push rod 6 is restarted to continue extending. At this point, because the telescopic rod 13 is already extended to its longest position, the trigger ring 14 cannot move. Therefore, the electric push rod 6 continues to extend, causing the locking rod 11 to descend. The locking rod 11 is then triggered by the electric push rod 14. 4. When the obstruction is applied, the fruit will rotate and come into contact with the peel. Then, lever 11 will pierce the peel. At this point, torsion spring 12 is in a deformed state. When positioning pin 8 is fully inserted into the fruit, motor 3 is activated. The upper peel is restricted by levers 11 and cannot rotate, while the lower peel is restricted by limit pins 5 and rotates with the placement base 4. At this point, the upper peel will completely separate from the pulp. Then, electric push rod 6 is activated to retract and reset, and motor 3 is stopped. When electric push rod 6 moves fixing plate 7 away from base 1, torsion spring 12 will... The reset mechanism rotates the locking rod 11 to reset, so that the locking rod 11 is no longer in contact with the grapefruit peel. At this time, the upper grapefruit peel will fall onto the pulp. Then, the grapefruit can be manually removed from the limiting nail 5, and the upper grapefruit peel can be removed and the lower grapefruit peel separated. At this time, most of the connection between the lower grapefruit peel and the pulp has also been separated by the peeling mechanism. Manually separating the lower grapefruit peel is also relatively simple. In this way, the peeling can be completed without damaging the pulp. When the peeling is completed, the grapefruit peel is only divided into two parts, thereby improving the use value of the grapefruit peel.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 1As shown, the peeling mechanism includes a fixed rod 15 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2, a positioning frame 16 slidably connected to the fixed rod 15, and two cutters 17 rotatably connected to the positioning frame 16. The two cutters 17 are connected by an elastic sheet 18. When the two cutters 17 come into contact with each other, the elastic sheet 18 is in a deformed state. The fixed frame 2 is provided with a limiting component for limiting the position of the two cutters 17. The limiting component includes a limiting frame 19 slidably connected to the fixed frame 2 and a threaded rod 20 rotatably connected to the limiting frame 19. The threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected to the fixed frame 2. The threaded rod 20 can be rotated according to the type of pomelo (peel thickness) to avoid the cutters 17 damaging the pulp. The fixed frame 2 is provided with a driving component for driving the positioning frame 16 to slide. The driving component includes a motor 21 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 2 and a threaded rod 22 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 21. The threaded rod 22 is threadedly connected to the positioning frame 16.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , ​ As shown, when the positioning post 8 is half-inserted into the pomelo, motor 21 is started. Motor 21 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, causing the positioning frame 16 to slide on the fixed rod 15 and approach the pomelo. When the positioning frame 16 slides on the fixed rod 15, the two cutters 17 gradually approach the pomelo and insert into the pomelo peel. Then, motor 21 is turned off and motor 3 is started. Subsequently, the placement seat 4 will drive the pomelo to rotate and perform a ring cut on the pomelo peel. Then, motor 3 is turned off and motor 21 is started. When the two cutters 17 continue to move forward, the limiting frame 19 will move on the inclined surface of the two cutters 17 near the rotating shaft. The elastic sheet 18 returns to its original position, causing the two cutters 17 to separate and adhere to the pomelo peel. As the positioning frame 16 continues to approach the pomelo, the angle of the two cutters 17 increases, and the limiting frame 19 no longer contacts the two cutters 17. During this process, the upper cutting blade 17 gradually penetrates into the upper grapefruit peel and cuts a portion of it, while the lower cutting blade 17 gradually penetrates into the lower grapefruit peel and cuts a portion of it. Because the space between the upper and lower grapefruit peels is insufficient for the two cutting blades 17 to fully extend, a portion of the peel will be cut by the cutting blades 17. When the two cutting blades 17 extend to their maximum extent, they will adhere to the fruit pulp. At this point, motor 13 is activated to rotate the grapefruit 360°, and the two cutting blades 17 can separate most of the grapefruit peel from the fruit pulp. Then, motor 13 is turned off and motor 21 is activated to reverse the direction. The positioning frame 16 will begin to move away from the grapefruit, and the two cutting blades 17 will also begin to move away from the grapefruit. Subsequently, the inclined surfaces of the two cutting blades 17 near the rotating shaft will contact the limiting frame 19, and then the two cutting blades 17 will adhere to each other. At this point, the elastic sheet 18 is in a deformed state to facilitate the next peeling.

[0028] Working principle: When peeling a grapefruit, first place the grapefruit on the placement seat 4 and press it down so that the limiting pin 5 penetrates into the grapefruit. Then, start the electric push rod 6, which extends and moves the fixing plate 7 and the positioning post 8 towards the base 1. At the same time, the trigger ring 14 is also moved towards the base 1 by the locking rod 11. The telescopic rod 13 will also start to stretch at the same time. When the positioning post 8 is half-inserted into the grapefruit, the electric push rod 6 stops extending and the telescopic rod 13 is stretched to its longest state.

[0029] When the positioning post 8 is half-inserted into the grapefruit, motor 21 is activated. Motor 21 drives the threaded rod 22 to rotate, causing the positioning frame 16 to slide on the fixed rod 15 closer to the grapefruit. As the positioning frame 16 slides on the fixed rod 15, the two cutters 17 gradually approach the grapefruit and insert into the grapefruit peel. Then, motor 21 is turned off and motor 3 is activated. Subsequently, the placement seat 4 drives the grapefruit to rotate, performing a ring cut on the grapefruit peel. Then, motor 3 is turned off and motor 21 is activated. As the two cutters 17 continue to move forward, the limiting frame 19 moves on the inclined surface near the rotating shaft of the two cutters 17, and the elastic sheet 18 returns to its original position, causing the two cutters 17 to separate and adhere to the grapefruit peel. As the positioning frame 16 continues to approach the grapefruit, the angle of the two cutters 17 increases, and the limiting frame 19 no longer... When the two cutting blades 17 come into contact, the elastic sheet 18 is in its normal state. During this process, the upper cutting blade 17 will gradually penetrate into the upper grapefruit peel and cut a portion of it, while the lower cutting blade 17 will gradually penetrate into the lower grapefruit peel and cut a portion of it. When the two cutting blades 17 are fully extended, they will adhere to the fruit pulp. At this point, the motor 13 is started to rotate the grapefruit 360°, and the two cutting blades 17 can separate most of the grapefruit peel from the fruit pulp. Then, the motor 13 is turned off and the motor 21 is started to reverse. The positioning frame 16 will begin to move away from the grapefruit, and the two cutting blades 17 will also begin to move away from the grapefruit. Subsequently, the inclined surfaces of the two cutting blades 17 near the rotating shaft will come into contact with the limiting frame 19, and then the two cutting blades 17 will adhere to each other. At this point, the elastic sheet 18 is in a deformed state to facilitate the next peeling.

[0030] After the peeling mechanism finishes its work, the electric push rod 6 is activated to extend further. Since the telescopic rod 13 is already at its longest extension, the trigger ring 14 cannot move. The electric push rod 6 then continues to extend, causing the locking rod 11 to descend. The locking rod 11, blocked by the trigger ring 14, rotates and comes into contact with the grapefruit peel. The locking rod 11 then pierces the grapefruit peel. At this point, the torsion spring 12 is in a deformed state. When the positioning pin 8 is fully inserted into the grapefruit, the motor 3 is activated. The upper grapefruit peel is restricted by several locking rods 11 and cannot rotate, while the lower grapefruit peel is restricted by the limiting pin 5 and rotates with the placement seat 4. At this point, the upper grapefruit peel is completely separated from the pulp. Then, the motor 3... The electric push rod 6 retracts and resets, and the motor 3 stops. When the electric push rod 6 moves the fixing plate 7 away from the base 1, the torsion spring 12 will reset and drive the locking rod 11 to rotate and reset, so that the locking rod 11 is no longer in contact with the grapefruit peel. At this time, the upper grapefruit peel will fall onto the pulp. Then, the grapefruit can be removed manually from the limiting nail 5, and the upper grapefruit peel can be removed and the lower grapefruit peel separated. At this time, most of the connection between the lower grapefruit peel and the pulp is also separated by the peeling mechanism. It is also relatively simple to separate the lower grapefruit peel manually. In this way, the peeling can be completed without damaging the pulp. When the peeling is completed, the grapefruit peel is only divided into two parts, thereby improving the use value of the grapefruit peel.
