Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of garlic processing machinery, and in particular to an airflow blowing garlic clove peeling device. Background Technology

[0002] After garlic is separated into cloves, it needs to be peeled depending on its intended use, such as making canned garlic, Laba garlic, or pickled garlic. For home consumption, manual peeling is sufficient. However, for processing plants, peeling garlic manually on a large scale is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, processing plants usually use garlic clove peeling machines to replace manual labor. Currently, the most commonly used is the garlic clove peeling machine, which uses compressed air as power, generating a powerful vortex of airflow through multi-point air jets to naturally peel the garlic. However, current garlic clove peeling machines still have some drawbacks in practical use. The high-pressure gas can easily blow away the garlic cloves, and the uneven air output can create blind spots, resulting in some garlic cloves not being peeled. Utility Model Content

[0003] Existing garlic clove peeling machines easily blow away garlic cloves when agitated, and the uneven airflow creates blind spots, resulting in some garlic cloves remaining unpeeled. Therefore, this application designs an airflow-driven garlic clove peeling device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0004] A gas-blowing garlic clove peeling device includes a frame, from top to bottom of which are arranged a pneumatic air supply unit, an upper mounting plate, a power transmission unit, a lower mounting plate, an air outlet pipe, and a conveying unit. The air outlet pipe is connected to the pneumatic air supply unit. The device also includes:

[0005] The air distribution plate is set on the frame and located below the plane where the air outlet pipe is located. The air outlet pipe has multiple air outlet components arranged at intervals along its length. The air distribution plate has an annular air outlet groove with the center of the air outlet pipe as the center and the vertical distance between the center and each air outlet component as the radius.

[0006] Preferably, the pneumatic air supply unit includes an air tank with multiple air outlets, each air outlet being connected to an air supply pipe. Multiple air supply shafts are rotatably connected between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate. The upper end of each air supply shaft is connected to the air supply pipe via a rotary joint, and the lower end is connected to the air outlet pipe. The multiple air supply shafts are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the garlic cloves and the vertical conveying direction, such that the blowing area of ​​the air outlet pipe connected below the multiple air supply shafts overlaps in the vertical conveying direction of the garlic cloves.

[0007] Preferably, there are six air outlets and six air supply shafts. The six air supply shafts are divided into two groups. The two groups of air supply shafts are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the garlic cloves. Each group includes three air supply shafts, and the three air supply shafts in each group are arranged in an isosceles triangle.

[0008] Preferably, the power transmission unit includes two sets of power transmission groups, which are connected to two sets of air supply shafts respectively, driving the corresponding air supply shafts to rotate. Each set of power transmission groups includes a motor, a driving pulley, a driven pulley, and a belt. The driving pulley is connected to the output shaft of the motor. There are three driven pulleys, which are connected to the three air supply shafts of each set respectively. The three driven pulleys are connected end to end by a belt, and one of the driven pulleys is connected to the driving pulley through the belt.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the mounting plate is connected to the frame via a telescopic cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying unit is a chain conveyor belt, and there is a gap between the rollers of the chain conveyor belt, which is smaller than the size of a garlic clove. The side shape of the chain conveyor belt is an inverted trapezoid, and guide plates are provided between the trapezoidal chain conveyor belts.

[0011] Preferably, the air outlet component is an air outlet or a nozzle.

[0012] The present invention, through the above technical solution, has the following technical effects:

[0013] 1. By setting up an air distribution plate and an annular air outlet groove on the air distribution plate, the gas coming out of the air outlet pipe blows the garlic cloves to peel them through the annular air outlet groove. The gas coming out of the annular air outlet groove can guide the airflow downward along the annular air outlet groove, blowing the airflow as vertically as possible towards the garlic cloves, rather than having a large blowing force in the horizontal direction, thus reducing the possibility of the garlic cloves being blown away.

[0014] 2. By setting the pneumatic air supply unit to the above structure and arranging the air supply shaft in the above position, the airflow can be blown to the area of ​​the garlic cloves in the vertical conveying direction, reducing the blind area of ​​peeling and improving the uniformity of air output.

[0019] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the present invention will be described in detail below through specific implementation methods and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Furthermore, in the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an airflow blowing garlic clove peeling device includes a frame 2. The frame 2 is provided with a pneumatic air supply unit 1, an upper mounting plate, a power transmission unit 9, a lower mounting plate, an air outlet pipe 5, and a conveying unit 3 from top to bottom. The air outlet pipe 5 is connected to the pneumatic air supply unit 1.

[0022] It also includes an air distribution plate 7, which is set on the frame 2 and located below the plane of the air outlet pipe 5. The air outlet pipe 5 has multiple air outlet components 6 arranged at intervals along its length. The air outlet components 6 are air outlet holes or nozzles. The airflow passes through the air outlet pipe 5 and finally exits from the air outlet components 6. In order to guide the airflow downward and make the airflow blow out vertically most of the time, thereby reducing the blowing force in the horizontal direction and reducing the possibility of the garlic cloves being blown away, an annular air outlet groove 8 is opened at the center of the air outlet pipe 5, with the center of the air distribution plate 7 as the center and the vertical distance between the center and each air outlet component 6 as the radius. This ensures that when the air outlet component 6 rotates in the circumferential direction, the air outlet component 6 can be aligned with the annular air outlet groove 8 below, ensuring that the airflow blows downward through the annular air outlet groove 8.

[0023] It should be noted that the multiple annular air outlet grooves 8 aligned below the aforementioned multiple air outlet components 6 are all concentric circles. Therefore, in order to ensure that the above structure can be realized, the multiple annular air outlet grooves 8 are connected to each other to prevent the area between the annular air outlet grooves 8 from falling off.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the pneumatic air supply unit 1 includes an air tank 2 with multiple air outlets 102. Each air outlet 102 is connected to an air supply pipe 103. Multiple air supply shafts 105 are rotatably connected between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate. The air supply shafts 105 are vertically arranged, with the upper end extending above the upper mounting plate and the lower end extending below the lower mounting plate. The upper end of each air supply shaft 105 is connected to the air supply pipe 103 via a rotary joint 104, and the lower end is connected to the air outlet pipe 5. The multiple air supply shafts 105 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the garlic cloves and the vertical conveying direction, so that the blowing area of ​​the air outlet pipe 5 connected below the multiple air supply shafts 105 overlaps in the vertical conveying direction of the garlic cloves, ensuring that the airflow can reach the area of ​​the garlic cloves in the vertical conveying direction, reducing the blowing blind zone and improving the uniformity of air output.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, six air outlets 102 and six air supply shafts 105 are provided. The six air outlets 102 can be provided on one air tank 2 or evenly distributed on two air tanks 2. Each air tank 2 is provided with three air outlets 102. The six air supply shafts 105 are divided into two groups. The two groups of air supply shafts 105 are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of garlic cloves. Each group includes three air supply shafts 105. The three air supply shafts 105 in each group are arranged in an isosceles triangle. The base of the three air supply shafts 105 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of garlic cloves. The three air supply shafts 105 have the same structure and size. This ensures that the circular area formed by the air outlet pipe 5 at the lower end of the three air supply shafts 105 overlaps in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of garlic cloves when rotating, reducing the blind spot of blowing air.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the power transmission unit 9 specifically includes two power transmission groups, which are connected to two sets of air supply shafts 105 to drive the corresponding air supply shafts 105 to rotate. Each power transmission group includes a motor 901, a driving pulley 902, a driven pulley 904, and a belt 903. Specifically, three belts 903 can be provided. The driving pulley 902 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 901, and three driven pulleys 904 are provided. The three driven pulleys 904 are corresponding to the three air supply shafts 105 of each group, and the three driven pulleys 904 are connected end to end by belts 903. One of the driven pulleys 904 is connected to the driving pulley 902 through another belt 903.

[0027] Alternatively, the pulleys and belts 903 described above can also be replaced by gears and racks.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, since some components of the power transmission system described above are located above the upper mounting plate, the upper mounting plate is subjected to greater pressure. In order to reduce the pressure on the upper mounting plate and ensure the support effect, the upper surface of the upper mounting plate is connected to the frame 2 by a telescopic cylinder 10. Specifically, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 10 is hinged to the upper mounting plate to ensure that the upper mounting plate can generate a relatively small range of torsion with the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 10 when it is raised in a small range.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the conveying unit 3 is a chain conveyor belt, which is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here. The rollers 301 of the chain conveyor belt have a gap 302, which is smaller than the size of a garlic clove. Here, a garlic clove refers to a normal-sized garlic clove (i.e., approximately between 1cm and 1.5cm, where the size includes the circumferential thickness and radial thickness of the garlic clove, which are defined based on the whole round garlic clove before it is separated). After the garlic clove is peeled, the garlic skin falls through the gap 302 between the rollers 301 of the chain conveyor belt to other locations and is discharged. The side shape of the chain conveyor belt is an inverted trapezoid, and a guide plate 4 is provided between the trapezoidal chain conveyor belts. The guide plate 4 is inclined from one side of the chain conveyor belt to the opposite side. The garlic skin falls through the gap 302 onto the guide plate 4 and is discharged by the guide plate 4.

[0030] The above specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any alternative improvements or modifications made to the embodiments of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0031] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are known to those skilled in the art.
