Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of fruit peeling and shelling, and particularly relates to a peeling machine that can automatically adjust the peeling thickness. Background Technology

[0002] Coconuts have a wide range of applications in food processing. Coconut water can be used as a refreshing and sweet drink, while coconut meat can be processed into coconut sugar, coconut powder, and other food products. In addition, coconut oil can be used for cooking or making high-grade soap, the husk can be used to make ropes and carpets, coconut bran can be used as animal feed, and the coconut shell can be made into high-quality activated carbon or processed into coconut carvings. The coconut shell is hard and glossy, mostly brown or green in color, with a unique texture that is both beautiful and provides a non-slip surface. The top of the coconut has three "eyes," one of which is soft and can be used to insert a straw to drink the coconut water.

[0003] However, coconut husks and fibrous outer layers are thick and hard, containing ash, coarse fiber, and lignin, offering almost no nutritional value and making them difficult to preserve and transport. Therefore, vendors typically peel off the outer husk, leaving only the white, fibrous outer layer, making the coconut easier to store and transport. Furthermore, peeled coconuts are easier to keep fresh. Peeled coconuts can be stored for a longer period; for example, peeled mature coconuts without preservatives can last 20-80 days, while commercially available coconuts typically have a shelf life of only 20-30 days. The reduced weight of peeled coconuts lowers logistics costs, allowing for more efficient transportation to the market.

[0004] The common technique for opening and peeling coconuts involves manually peeling them with a cleaver. The method involves holding the coconut with one hand while peeling or breaking it with the other. While this achieves the goal of opening and peeling to some extent, it lacks control over the thickness of the peel, poses safety hazards, and is not efficient or fast. Furthermore, the process can easily damage the coconut's shell structure, compromising hygiene and making the coconut difficult to store. Current technology commonly uses specialized peeling and shelling tools, such as the coconut peeling mechanism disclosed in Chinese patent CN110574936A. While this mechanism can adjust the rotation radius of the blade to keep it in contact with the coconut surface, it cannot automatically adjust the peeling thickness, making it difficult to achieve different thicknesses based on the coconut's actual size. Different thicknesses of coconut peel also have different applications. For example, thicker coconut peel can be used to stop bleeding and relieve pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling the blood and stopping bleeding. When minor bleeding or pain occurs, using an appropriate amount of coconut peel can effectively relieve discomfort and promote wound healing. In addition, coconut husks have the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, and relieving itching. They can help the body dispel dampness and alleviate discomfort caused by excessive dampness. Specific applications of coconut husks include boiling in water, rinsing in water, and washing. For example, coconut husks can be boiled in water to improve symptoms such as nosebleeds and skin bleeding; coconut husks can be boiled in water to relieve symptoms such as stomach pain and abdominal pain; and coconut husks can be boiled in water to soak feet or made into essential oil for foot massage for itching caused by fungal infections. Furthermore, due to the special structure of the coconut, its top has three "eyes," one of which is relatively soft and can be used to insert a straw to drink coconut juice. Therefore, in the actual peeling process, the top of the coconut does not need to be peeled, which better protects the structure of the top of the coconut without affecting subsequent consumption and avoids damage to the coconut during transportation due to bumps. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a peeling machine that can automatically adjust the peeling thickness in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art or achieve better technical effects.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors, through practice and summarization, derived the technical solution of this utility model. This utility model discloses a peeling machine with automatically adjustable peeling thickness, including a frame. A first peeling mechanism is movably connected to one side of the frame. The first peeling mechanism includes a first telescopic rod telescopically connected to the side end of the frame, and a movable baffle and side blade installed at the end of the first telescopic rod, whose distance from each other can be freely adjusted. According to the actual required peeling thickness, the distance between the movable baffle and the side blade is adjusted. Through the movement of the first telescopic rod, the movable baffle and side blade are slowly pushed onto the surface of the coconut, thus peeling the coconut to different thicknesses.

[0007] Furthermore, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the first telescopic rod, and a single-sided limiting plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed plate. A movable blade holder is movably connected to the left side of the single-sided limiting plate, and the movable baffle and the side blade are respectively mounted on the corresponding movable blade holders. When the output power of the first telescopic rod remains constant, when it is necessary to adjust the peeling thickness according to actual requirements, the distance between the movable baffle and the side blade is adjusted by the horizontal sliding of the movable blade holders connected to the movable baffle and the side blade on the single-sided limiting plate, so as to adapt to different peeling thicknesses.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed plate and the single-sided limiting plate are reinforced with rivets to improve the stability of the movable baffle and the side blade during operation and avoid failures during the peeling process. The movable baffle and the side blade are detachably installed on their respective movable blade holders. As the peeling operation continues for a long time, when the side blade wears down and becomes difficult to effectively cut the coconut skin, the side blade can be easily disassembled and replaced, greatly reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, an upper base is fixedly connected to the top of the frame, and a rotating fixing mechanism is movably connected to the bottom of the upper base.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating fixing mechanism includes a rotating telescopic rod rotatably connected to the bottom end of the upper base, a rotating platform is installed at the end of the rotating telescopic rod, and several sets of positioning pins are fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of positioning pins is 5, and the positioning pins are evenly distributed at the bottom of the rotating table.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotary table is detachably mounted at the end of the rotary telescopic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame, and a support mechanism is movably connected to the upper end of the base. The support mechanism includes a second telescopic rod telescopically connected to the base and a circular pad fixedly connected to the top end of the second telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a second peeling mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, and the second peeling mechanism is equipped with a peeler inside.

[0015] Furthermore, the second peeling mechanism is fixedly connected to the base by several sets of support rods; the number of sets of support rods is not less than 4.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) The peeling machine with automatically adjustable peeling thickness disclosed in this utility model can peel the coconut at different thicknesses by adjusting the distance between the movable baffle and the side blade and the operation of the first telescopic rod.

[0018] (2) This utility model uses rivets to reinforce the fixed plate and the single-sided limiting plate, thereby improving the stability of the moving baffle and the side knife operation and effectively avoiding the occurrence of failures in the peeling process.

[0019] (3) The movable baffle and the side blade of this utility model are detachably installed on the corresponding movable blade holder. As the peeling operation continues for a long time, when the side blade is worn and it is difficult to effectively cut the coconut skin, the side blade can be easily disassembled and replaced, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0020] (4) When fixing coconuts of different sizes, this utility model can adjust the length of the second telescopic rod to make the circular pad fit tightly against the bottom of the coconut, providing a certain support force to the coconut. Combined with several sets of positioning nails at the bottom of the rotating table, the coconut is fixed, making the peeling process of the coconut more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific examples.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a peeling machine with automatically adjustable peeling thickness includes a frame 4. An upper base 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 4, and the bottom of the frame 4 is fixedly connected to a base 10. A first peeling mechanism 3 is movably connected to one side of the frame 4. The first peeling mechanism 3 includes a first telescopic rod 5 telescopically connected to the side of the frame 4, a movable baffle 301 and a side blade 304 whose distance can be freely adjusted. A rotating fixing mechanism is movably connected to the bottom of the upper base 1, and several sets of positioning pins 12 are provided at the bottom of the rotating fixing mechanism. When peeling a coconut, the coconut is fixed by the positioning pins 12, and then the rotating telescopic rod 2 drives the rotating table 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the coconut at the bottom to rotate. At this time, according to the actual required peeling thickness, the distance between the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 is adjusted. By operating the first telescopic rod 5, the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 are slowly pushed to the surface of the coconut, thus peeling the coconut to different thicknesses.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figures 6-9As shown, in the first peeling mechanism 3, a fixed plate 303 is fixedly connected to the left end of the first telescopic rod 5. A single-sided limiting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the left side of the fixed plate 303. A movable blade holder 302 is movably connected to the left side of the single-sided limiting plate 305. The movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 are respectively installed on the corresponding movable blade holders 302. When the output power of the first telescopic rod remains constant, when it is necessary to adjust the peeling thickness according to actual requirements, the distance between the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 is adjusted by the horizontal sliding of the movable blade holder 302 connected to the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 on the single-sided limiting plate 305, so as to adapt to the working state of peeling different thicknesses.

[0037] Preferably, the fixed plate 303 and the single-sided limiting plate 305 are reinforced by rivets 14 to improve the stability of the operation of the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 and avoid failures during the peeling process.

[0038] Preferably, the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 are detachably mounted on the corresponding movable blade holder 302. As the peeling operation continues for a long time, when the side blade 304 wears down and becomes difficult to effectively cut the coconut skin, the side blade can be easily disassembled and replaced, greatly reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment.

[0039] Preferably, the movable blade holders 302 connected to the movable baffle 301 and the side blade 304 are both electrically driven devices, which can control the relative displacement process by connecting to a power source, thereby further improving the accuracy of the peeling thickness.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating fixing mechanism includes a rotating telescopic rod 2 rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper base 1. A rotating platform 13 is installed at the end of the rotating telescopic rod 2. Several sets of positioning pins 12 are provided at the bottom of the rotating platform 13. The coconut is inserted and fixed by the positioning pins 12. Under the operation of the rotating telescopic rod 2, the rotating platform 13 drives the coconut to rotate at high speed, and the side blade 304 cuts the coconut skin.

[0041] Preferably, there are 5 sets of positioning nails 12, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the rotating table 13, so as to effectively fix the coconut and prevent it from shaking during high-speed operation, causing the coconut to fall off or crack.

[0042] Preferably, the rotary table 13 is detachably mounted at the end of the rotary telescopic rod 2 for easy cleaning and replacement.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] like Figure 10As shown, the aforementioned peeling machine with automatically adjustable peeling thickness has a support mechanism movably connected to the upper end of its base 10. The support mechanism includes a second telescopic rod 9 telescopically connected to the base 10 and a circular pad 8 fixedly connected to the top of the second telescopic rod 9. When fixing coconuts of different sizes, the length of the second telescopic rod 9 can be adjusted to make the circular pad 8 fit tightly against the bottom of the coconut, providing a certain support force. This, combined with several sets of positioning pins 12 at the bottom of the rotating table 13, fixes the coconut, making the coconut peeling process more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second peeling mechanism 11 is also fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 10. The second peeling mechanism 11 surrounds the support mechanism and has a peeler 18 inside. The length of the peeler 18 does not exceed the height of the curved surface of the side of the second peeling mechanism 11. After the coconut is peeled by the first peeling mechanism 3, the side peeling is completed. At this time, the bottom of the coconut also needs to be peeled in order to better remove the coconut eggs or coconut meat and other fruits inside. By extending the rotating telescopic rod 2 and retracting the second telescopic rod 9, the coconut is pushed into the second peeling mechanism 11. At this time, the high-speed rotation of the rotating telescopic rod 2 drives the bottom of the coconut to rotate tightly against the inside of the second peeling mechanism 11, and the peeler 18 peels the bottom of the coconut.

[0046] Preferably, the second peeling mechanism 11 is fixedly connected to the base 10 by a number of support rods 7, which can effectively improve the stability of the operation of the second peeling mechanism 11.

[0047] Preferably, the number of support rods 7 is 4 sets, which are evenly fixed around the second peeling mechanism 11.

[0048] Preferably, the second peeling mechanism 11 is equipped with multiple sets of peelers 18 inside, which greatly improves the peeling efficiency of the coconut skin at the bottom of the coconut.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] like Figure 10 As shown, the peeling machine with automatically adjustable peeling thickness also includes a first motor 15 for controlling the operation of the rotating telescopic rod 2, a second motor 16 for controlling the operation of the first peeling mechanism 3, and a third motor 17 for controlling the operation of the support mechanism; a control switch 6 is installed on the frame 4, and the control switch 6 can control the independent operation of the first motor 15, the second motor 16 and the third motor 17 respectively through the wires embedded inside.

[0051] Preferably, the first motor 15 is installed inside the upper base 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the rotating telescopic rod 2; the second motor 16 is installed inside the frame, and its output end is fixedly connected to the first telescopic rod 5; the third motor 17 is installed inside the base 10, and its output end is fixedly connected to the second telescopic rod 9.
