Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili processing technology, specifically to a novel chili cap removal machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers are an important vegetable and condiment with high nutritional value. They have one of the highest vitamin C contents among all vegetables, and also contain abundant vitamins B1 and B2, carotene, pentosans, and minerals. Capsaicin, a key component of chili peppers, has excellent antioxidant and anti-aging properties. However, during processing, a stem-cutting machine is used to remove the tough fibrous structure of the chili pepper stem to prevent it from affecting the processing quality in subsequent steps. Since the stem remains attached during this process, the chili pepper with the stem still attached needs to be manually picked up and the stem removed separately, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces processing efficiency.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a novel chili pepper cap removal machine includes a frame 1, an inlet 11, and an outlet 13. A chili pepper cap removal conveyor 12 is installed inside the frame 1. A cap removal assembly 2 for removing the caps from chilies is connected between the frame 1 and the inlet 11. The cap removal assembly 2 includes several conveying rollers 21 rotatably connected between the inlet 11 and the frame 1. Adjacent conveying rollers 21 are connected to several sets of spiral rubber rollers 22. Rubber roller support bearings 23 are connected between the spiral rubber rollers 22 and the conveying rollers 21. A sieve plate 24 is installed inside each of the conveying rollers 21, and the sieve holes of the sieve plate 24 correspond to the spiral rubber rollers 22. A bidirectional assembly 3 for connection is provided between the frame 1 and the conveying rollers 21. An outlet assembly 4 for pushing out chilies is provided between the frame 1 and the conveying rollers 21.

[0029] A roller support wheel 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1, and the bottom of the roller support wheel 25 is slidably connected to the top of the conveying roller 21; and during the rotation of the conveying roller 21, its outer side slides relative to the roller support wheel 25, which is used to keep the conveying roller 21 rotating stably between the frame 1 and the feed inlet 11.

[0030] Furthermore, there are 4 conveying rollers 21, and the four conveying rollers 21 are combined to form a ring frame. The number of several sets of spiral rubber rollers 22 is approximately 2 sets of the cap removal assembly, and each pair of spiral rubber rollers 22 is combined to form a set. In addition, a gap is maintained between each pair of spiral rubber rollers 22 to facilitate the chili peppers falling into the gap between the two spiral rubber rollers 22.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bidirectional assembly 3 includes a roller drive gear 32 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the conveying roller 21. A servo motor 31 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1 near the feed port 11. A reduction gearbox 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1 near the servo motor 31. A second gear 36 is rotatably connected inside the reduction gearbox 34, and the servo motor 31 is used to drive the second gear 36 to rotate. The outside of the roller drive gear 32 is located inside the reduction gearbox 34 and meshes with the second gear 36.

[0032] Furthermore, the conveying roller 21 is designed as a T-shaped ring, and when the roller drive gear 32 is sleeved on the outside of the conveying roller 21, the outside of the roller drive gear 32 and the outside of the conveying roller 21 remain horizontal; the servo motor 31 is a Yijie KAH47.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, a rubber roller drive gear 33 is sleeved on the side of the conveying roller 21 near the roller drive gear 32. A first gear 35 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 31 and meshes with the rubber roller drive gear 33. The first gear 35 is located inside the reduction gearbox 34. A rubber roller drive gear 37 is rotatably connected to the side of the conveying roller 21 near the rubber roller drive gear 33. A rubber roller connecting gear 38 meshes with the side of the conveying roller 21 near the rubber roller drive gear 37. The rubber roller drive gear 33 and the rubber roller drive gear 37 are meshed and connected. One end of the spiral rubber roller 22 passes through the conveying roller 21 and is connected to one end of the rubber roller connecting gear 38 and the rubber roller drive gear 37 respectively.

[0034] Furthermore, the number of rubber roller drive gears 37 and rubber roller connecting gears 38 is equal to the number of spiral rubber rollers 22. Moreover, the rubber roller drive gears 37 and rubber roller connecting gears 38 are used to drive the two spiral rubber rollers 22 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, so that the two spiral rubber rollers 22 and the chili pepper stems can rotate synchronously relative to each other, which is used to squeeze the chili pepper stems off.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when it is necessary to remove the stems from the chili peppers, a large number of chili peppers are conveyed through the feed inlet 11 to the inside of the conveying roller 21 and the sieve plate 24. Then, the servo motor 31 rotates and drives the second gear 36 to rotate along the inside of the reduction gearbox 34, so that the second gear 36 meshes with the roller drive gear 32 to drive the roller drive gear 32 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotation of the roller drive gear 32 drives the conveying roller 21 to rotate, so that the chili peppers flow inside the sieve plate 24 and are spread out inside the sieve plate 24. At the same time, the rotation of the conveying roller 21 drives the spiral rubber roller 22 to rotate simultaneously, so that the gap between the spiral rubber rollers 22 can correspond to the sieve holes of the sieve plate 24, and the chili peppers fall through the sieve plate 24 and between the spiral rubber rollers 22 during the flow.

[0036] Furthermore, when the chili peppers fall into the sieve holes of the sieve plate 24, they form an inverted position, causing them to fall through the sieve holes into the gap between the two spiral rubber rollers 22. The remaining part of the chili pepper is located inside the sieve plate 24, and the servo motor 31 drives the first gear 35 to rotate synchronously. As the first gear 35 rotates, it meshes with the large rubber roller drive gear 33, driving the large rubber roller drive gear 33 to rotate in the opposite direction to the roller drive gear 32 along the outside of the conveying roller 21. Subsequently, the large rubber roller drive gear 33 rotates and meshes with the rubber roller drive gear 37, and the rotation of the rubber roller drive gear 37 drives one of the rollers to rotate. The spiral rubber roller 22 rotates, and through the rotation of the rubber roller drive gear 37 and the meshing transmission between the rubber roller connecting gear 38, the rotation of the rubber roller connecting gear 38 drives the other spiral rubber roller 22 to rotate. Subsequently, the two spiral rubber rollers 22 and the chili stem rotate synchronously relative to each other. The spiral on the spiral rubber roller 22 squeezes out the chili stem. At this time, the squeezed chili stem falls onto the chili stem discharge conveyor 12, which transports the chili stem cap to the collection point. This can separate the chili stem from the chili body, minimize damage to the chili flesh, prevent manual removal of the chili stem, save time and labor, and improve the chili processing efficiency.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the discharge assembly 4 includes a central support frame 41 installed in the frame 1 and the conveying roller 21, and there is a distance between the central support frame 41 and the conveying roller 21. A connecting ring column 45 and two connecting cylinders 43 are fixedly connected to the side of the central support frame 41 near the conveying roller 21, and two adjusting ring sleeves 47 are sleeved between the two connecting cylinders 43 and the connecting ring column 45. A scraper 42 is fixedly connected to the outside of the adjusting ring sleeve 47, and the scraper 42 is used to push out the peppers after they have been decapped in the sieve plate 24.

[0038] Furthermore, there are two connecting tubes 43, two adjusting rings 47, and two limiting rods 49; and there are three bidirectional limiting slots 48, with each limiting slot 48 corresponding to the limiting rod 49.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a centering rod 46 is connected to the connecting ring post 45, the two connecting cylinders 43 and the two adjusting ring sleeves 47. A limiting groove 48 is connected to the inside of one of the connecting cylinders 43 and one end of the centering rod 46. The end of the centering rod 46 away from the limiting groove 48 is in frictional contact with the inside of one of the connecting cylinders 43. Several limiting grooves 48 are opened inside the adjusting ring sleeve 47. A limiting rod 49 that cooperates with the limiting groove 48 is fixedly connected to the outside of the centering rod 46.

[0040] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, after the chili pepper stem caps are extruded by the spiral rubber roller 22, some chili peppers will get stuck on the screen holes of the screen plate 24 during the cap removal process. The rotation of the conveying roller 21 drives the screen plate 24 to rotate, while moving some chili peppers closer to the scraper 42. The scraper 42 contacts the chili peppers and maintains a scraping state to scrape the chili peppers off the screen plate 24. Then, as the conveying roller 21 and the screen plate 24 rotate, the processed chili peppers are rotated into the discharge port 13 to the next process.

[0041] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when it is necessary to adjust the angle between the scraper 42 and the screen plate 24, by pulling one end of the centering rod 46, the outside of the centering rod 46 will rub against one of the connecting cylinders 43. At this time, the centering rod 46 moves in the direction of force along the inside of one of the connecting cylinders 43, and the movement of the centering rod 46 drives the two limiting rods 49 to move synchronously. During the movement, the centering rod 46 pulls the limiting groove 48 to move synchronously along the other connecting cylinder 43. Moreover, the movement of the centering rod 46 drives the two limiting rods 49 to move and slide out along two of the limiting grooves 48, thereby the adjusting ring 47 loses its locking function between the connecting ring post 45 and the connecting cylinder 43. Then, the scraper 42 is rotated to adjust the angle between it and the screen plate 24.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] When using;

[0044] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a large amount of chili peppers are conveyed through the feed inlet 11 to the inside of the conveying roller 21 and the screen plate 24. Then, the servo motor 31 rotates and drives the second gear 36 to rotate along the inside of the reduction gearbox 34, so that the second gear 36 meshes with the roller drive gear 32 to drive the roller drive gear 32 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotation of the roller drive gear 32 drives the conveying roller 21 to rotate, so that the chili peppers flow inside the screen plate 24 and are spread out inside the screen plate 24.

[0045] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the rotation of the conveying roller 21 drives the spiral rubber roller 22 to rotate simultaneously, ensuring that the gap between the spiral rubber rollers 22 corresponds to the sieve holes of the sieve plate 24. During the flow, the chili peppers fall through the sieve plate 24 and into the space between the spiral rubber rollers 22. The servo motor 31 rotates, driving the first gear 35 to rotate synchronously. As the first gear 35 rotates, it meshes with the large rubber roller drive gear 33, causing the large rubber roller drive gear 33 to rotate in the opposite direction to the roller drive gear 32 along the outside of the conveying roller 21. Consequently, the large rubber roller drive gear 33 rotates and interacts with the rubber roller drive gear 32. The roller drive gears 37 mesh with each other, and the rotation of the rubber roller drive gear 37 drives one of the spiral rubber rollers 22 to rotate. Through the rotation of the rubber roller drive gear 37 and the meshing transmission between the rubber roller connecting gear 38, the rotation of the rubber roller connecting gear 38 drives the other spiral rubber roller 22 to rotate. Then, the two spiral rubber rollers 22 and the chili stem rotate synchronously relative to each other. The spiral on the spiral rubber roller 22 squeezes out the chili stem. At this time, the squeezed chili stem falls onto the chili stem discharge conveyor 12, which transports the chili stem cap to the collection point.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, some chili peppers may get stuck in the sieve holes of the sieve plate 24 during the cap removal process. The rotation of the conveyor roller 21 drives the sieve plate 24 to rotate, while moving some chili peppers closer to the scraper plate 42. The scraper plate 42 contacts the chili peppers and maintains a scraping state to scrape the chili peppers off the sieve plate 24. Then, as the conveyor roller 21 and the sieve plate 24 rotate, the processed chili peppers are rotated into the discharge port 13 for the next process.
