Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pepper processing, in particular to a pepper cap picking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] When dry peppers are processed, the pepper stems and caps need to be removed. Most existing devices on the market are pepper stem cutting machines. This technology is already mature, but it cannot solve the problem of removing the pepper caps. When the pepper caps need to be removed, manual removal is required after cutting the stems, which requires a large number of workers, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and is extremely inefficient. At this time, a pepper cap picking machine is needed. The pepper cap picking machine generally uses a rotating cutter or cutting device to separate the pepper stem from the pepper body according to the preset position and angle. The speed, angle and force of the cutter are precisely designed and adjusted to ensure that the pepper stem can be cleanly cut off while minimizing damage to the pepper fruit.

[0003] For the above related technology, the inventors believe that the existing pepper cap picking machine has many problems. First, in terms of its rotating drive structure, the drive assembly of many cap picking machines is not designed reasonably. The common gear transmission structure is prone to severe wear during long-term operation due to lack of effective lubrication and protection, which not only shortens the service life of the equipment, but also increases the maintenance cost. Moreover, the debris generated by wear may enter the interior of the equipment, affecting the normal operation of other components, further reducing the stability and reliability of the equipment. Second, for the lubricating oil used during the operation of the equipment, the existing pepper cap picking machine generally lacks an effective collection and recycling mechanism. The lubricating oil after use often drips directly onto the ground, not only causing waste of resources, but also possibly causing environmental pollution. At the same time, frequent addition of lubricating oil also increases the complexity and cost of operation. These problems limit the further promotion and application of the pepper cap picking machine and need to be solved urgently. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a pepper cap picking machine. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] The pepper cap picking machine provided by the present application comprises a base, a cap picking machine body, a cap picking machine rotating drive assembly and a lubricating oil collection assembly. The surface of the base is provided with an oil tank and an oil pump. The pumping port of the oil pump is connected with a pumping pipe. The discharge port of the oil pump is connected with a discharge pipe. The end of the discharge pipe away from the oil pump is connected with a lubricating oil spray head.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating drive assembly of the cap removing machine comprises a rack ring fixedly connected to the outside of the cap removing machine body, the top of the base is fixedly connected with a driving motor, the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected with a driving gear through a shaft coupling, the driving gear is engaged with the rack ring, and the diameter of the driving gear is smaller than that of the rack ring.

[0012] 2. During the operation of the cap removing machine, the lubricating oil may drip from the rotating drive assembly due to gravity or splashing, at this time, the collecting groove formed in the surface of the base collects the dripping lubricating oil, the lubricating oil in the collecting groove flows along the groove body, and finally is discharged through the oil discharge pipe, one end of the oil discharge pipe is connected with the collecting groove, and the other end of the oil discharge pipe extends to the outside of the base, the collected lubricating oil can be collected through the control valve, so that the collected lubricating oil can be reused after subsequent filtering, purification and other treatments, the lubricating oil can be recycled, and resources can be saved.

[0019] The application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 - Figure 5 The application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Embodiment I:

[0021] A cap removing machine for hot peppers, referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 , comprising a base 1, a cap removing machine body 2, a rotating driving assembly of the cap removing machine, and a lubricating oil collection assembly, the cap removing machine body 2 is rotationally connected inside the base 1, an oil tank 3 and an oil pump 4 are mounted on the surface of the base 1, a liquid suction pipe 5 is connected to the liquid suction port of the oil pump 4, the end of the liquid suction pipe 5 away from the oil pump 4 is connected to the inside of the oil tank 3, a liquid discharge pipe 6 is connected to the liquid discharge port of the oil pump 4, and a lubricating oil spraying head 7 is connected to the end of the liquid discharge pipe 6 away from the oil pump 4.

[0022] Specifically, the cap removing machine body 2 is rotationally connected inside the base 1, which provides support and a stable basis for the rotation of the cap removing machine body 2, so that the cap removing machine body 2 can stably rotate around a specific axis under the constraint of the base 1, facilitating subsequent cap removing operation on hot peppers. When it is necessary to lubricate the key parts of the cap removing machine, the oil pump 4 is started, and the oil pump 4 sucks lubricating oil from the oil tank 3 through the liquid suction pipe 5. Since one end of the liquid suction pipe 5 is connected to the liquid suction port of the oil pump 4 and the other end is deep into the inside of the oil tank 3, the lubricating oil in the oil tank 3 can be smoothly sucked out. The sucked lubricating oil enters the liquid discharge pipe 6 through the liquid discharge port of the oil pump 4, and the liquid discharge pipe 6 delivers the lubricating oil to the lubricating oil spraying head 7 away from the oil pump 4. The lubricating oil spraying head 7 uniformly sprays lubricating oil onto the key moving parts of the cap removing machine, such as gears in the rotating driving assembly, and forms a lubricating oil film on the surface of these parts, effectively reducing the friction coefficient between the parts, reducing wear and tear, prolonging the service life of the equipment, and ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0023] Referring to Figure 2 - Figure 5The rotating driving assembly of the cap removing machine comprises a rack ring 8 fixedly connected to the outside of the cap removing machine body 2, a driving motor 9 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a driving gear 10 fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 9 through a shaft coupling, and the driving gear 10 is engaged with the rack ring 8, and the diameter of the driving gear 10 is smaller than the diameter of the rack ring 8.

[0024] Specifically, when the driving motor 9 is started, the output shaft of the motor drives the shaft coupling to rotate, and then the driving gear 10 fixedly connected with the shaft coupling starts to rotate. Since the driving gear 10 is engaged with the rack ring 8, and the diameter of the driving gear 10 is smaller than the diameter of the rack ring 8, according to the gear transmission principle, when the small-diameter driving gear 10 rotates, it will drive the large-diameter rack ring 8 to move in a circular motion. Since the rack ring 8 is fixedly connected with the cap removing machine body 2, the movement of the rack ring 8 will drive the cap removing machine body 2 to rotate around the central axis of the base 1, realizing the rotating function of the cap removing machine body 2 and providing power support for the cap removing operation of the pepper.

[0025] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The lubricating oil collecting assembly comprises a collecting groove 11 formed in the surface of the base 1, and an oil discharge pipe 12 is in communication with the inner wall of one end of the collecting groove 11, and the end of the oil discharge pipe 12 away from the collecting groove 11 extends to the outside of the base 1 and is provided with a valve 13.

[0026] Specifically, the collecting groove 11 is designed on the surface of the base 1, and its position and shape are reasonably planned to maximize the collection of lubricating oil falling from the cap removing machine body 2 and related parts. The collected lubricating oil will gather in the collecting groove 11 and flow along the inclined surface of the collecting groove 11. One end of the inner wall of the collecting groove 11 is in communication with the oil discharge pipe 12, and the lubricating oil will be discharged from the collecting groove 11 through the oil discharge pipe 12. The end of the oil discharge pipe 12 away from the collecting groove 11 extends to the outside of the base 1, and the valve 13 is installed at the end of the oil discharge pipe 12. By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 13, the discharge time and speed of the lubricating oil can be controlled. When the lubricating oil needs to be collected, the valve 13 is opened, and the lubricating oil in the collecting groove 11 will be discharged through the oil discharge pipe 12 for subsequent treatment and reuse; when it is not necessary to discharge, the valve 13 is closed to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking.

[0027] The implementation principle of the pepper cap picking machine is as follows: the oil pump 4 is preferably LY-JLM type, the driving motor 9 is preferably YE2132M-4 type, and the oil pump 4 and the driving motor 9 are electrically connected with an external power source through a switch. In the lubricating process, when the equipment needs to be lubricated at the key positions, the oil pump 4 on the surface of the base 1 is started through the switch, the oil pump 4 draws lubricating oil from the oil tank 3 through the liquid suction pipe 5, one end of the liquid suction pipe 5 is communicated with the liquid suction port of the oil pump 4, and the other end is deeply inserted into the inside of the oil tank 3 to smoothly suck out the lubricating oil. Then, the lubricating oil enters the liquid discharge pipe 6 through the liquid discharge port of the oil pump 4 and is transported to the lubricating oil spray head 7 at the end of the liquid discharge pipe 6. The lubricating oil spray head 7 uniformly sprays the lubricating oil to the key moving parts of the cap picking machine, such as the gear of the rotary driving assembly, so that the formed lubricating oil film can reduce the friction coefficient between the parts, reduce wear, prolong the service life of the equipment, ensure the stable operation of the equipment, and provide power for the pepper cap picking. In the rotary driving aspect, the driving motor 9 is started through the switch, the output shaft drives the driving gear 10 fixedly connected with the output shaft through a shaft coupling to rotate, the driving gear 10 is engaged with the rack ring 8 fixed on the outside of the cap picking machine body 2, and the diameter of the driving gear 10 is smaller than that of the rack ring 8. According to the gear transmission principle, the rotation of the driving gear 10 drives the rack ring 8 to make a circular motion, so that the cap picking machine body 2 rotates around the central axis of the base 1 to provide power for the pepper cap picking. In the lubricating oil collecting assembly, the collecting groove 11 opened on the surface of the base 1 can effectively collect the lubricating oil falling from the cap picking machine body 2 and related parts. The collected lubricating oil gathers in the collecting groove 11, flows along the inclined surface thereof, is discharged through the oil discharge pipe 12 communicated with the inner wall at one end of the collecting groove 11, the oil discharge pipe 12 extends to the outside of the base 1, and the valve 13 installed at the end can control the discharging time and speed of the lubricating oil, so as to facilitate the collection, treatment and reuse.

[0028] The above describes an exemplary embodiment of the pepper cap picking machine provided by the present disclosure with reference to the preferred embodiment, however, those skilled in the art can understand that various modifications and improvements can be made to the above specific embodiment without departing from the concept of the present disclosure, and various technical features and structures proposed by the present disclosure can be combined without exceeding the protection scope of the present disclosure, and the protection scope of the present disclosure is determined by the appended claims.
