Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to a chili pepper stem removal machine. Background Technology

[0002] Whether for primary or advanced processing, chili peppers require stem removal. Currently, most food processing companies still rely on manual harvesting for this process, which is not only labor-intensive but also costly and inefficient. Although a few companies have introduced automated chili pepper stem removal devices, these devices are typically complex in structure, and the rigid contact between the blades and the drum during processing can easily lead to stress concentration. To address these issues, an existing chili pepper stem removal machine (authorized publication number CN203575616U) includes a frame containing a drum and a motor for driving the drum's rotation. The drum is a mesh drum, with a feed inlet on one end and a discharge outlet on the side of the other end. A row of stem removal blades is arranged tangentially along the outer side of the drum's bottom end. One end of each blade contacts the drum, while the other end rests on a crossbar of the frame and is connected to the frame via a tension spring. Chili peppers are fed into the drum through the inlet and rotate with the drum. When the chili pepper stems protrude from the mesh of the drum, a row of blades set on the frame cuts off the chili pepper stems to achieve the effect of removing the stems. One end of the blade contacts the drum, and the other end is also equipped with a tension spring connected to the frame, which can make the blade tilt upward at a certain angle with the rotating drum.

[0003] The applicant discovered that the tension of the tension springs decreased after the existing machine had been running for a long time, resulting in a decline in cutting ability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chili pepper stem removal machine to solve the technical problem of poor performance in the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the chili pepper stem removal machine involved in this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a chili destemming machine, which includes a frame, a roller installed in the frame, and a motor for driving the roller to rotate. The roller has a feed inlet on one end of its circular surface and a discharge outlet on the side of the other end. It also includes a destemming mechanism arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the roller. The destemming mechanism includes at least one set of destemming parts, each of which includes a blade, a support, a tension spring, an adjusting seat, and a hydraulic damper. The blade edge abuts against the roller, and the back of the blade is hinged to the support installed on the frame. The back of the blade away from the roller is connected to the adjusting seat installed on the support through the tension spring. The hydraulic damper is installed on the frame and located below the back of the blade near the roller end. When the blade rotates, it can collide with the hydraulic damper.

[0007] Preferably, the blade has notches spaced apart along its length, and the de-stemming mechanism includes at least two sets of de-stemming portions that are equally spaced and staggered along the circumferential direction of the roller, so that the notches of adjacent blades are staggered.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting seat includes a base fixed to the frame, an adjusting nut screwed to the base, a tension spring connected to the adjusting nut, and the adjusting nut being located directly below the blade.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This utility model provides a chili pepper stem removal machine, which differs from existing technologies in that it further includes a stem removal mechanism arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the drum. The stem removal mechanism includes at least one set of stem removal sections, each comprising a blade, a support, a tension spring, an adjusting seat, and a hydraulic damper. The cutting edge of the blade abuts against the drum, and the middle of the blade's back is hinged to the support mounted on the frame. The end of the blade's back away from the drum is connected to the adjusting seat mounted on the support via the tension spring. The hydraulic damper is mounted on the frame and located below the blade's back near the drum end; rotation of the blade causes it to collide with the hydraulic damper. This device effectively reduces blade wear and allows adjustment of the blade's stress intensity according to the strength of the chili pepper stem. Attached Figure Description

[0011] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly described below:

[0012] Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of a chili pepper stem removal machine.

[0013] In the diagram: 1. Blade; 2. Support; 3. Frame; 4. Tension spring; 5. Adjustment seat; 6. Hydraulic damper; 7. Roller. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] The present invention provides a chili destemming machine, as shown in the figure, including a frame 3, a roller 7 disposed within the frame 3, and a motor for driving the roller 7 to rotate. The roller 7 has a feed inlet on the circular surface at one end and a discharge outlet on the side at the other end. The roller 7 is a mesh roller 7 so that the chilies entering it can have their stems removed from the roller 7 during movement. The roller 7 is mounted on the frame 3 through a bearing seat, and the motor drives the roller 7 to rotate through a V-belt drive. The above content is prior art.

[0016] The drum 7 is equipped with a stem removal mechanism arranged sequentially along its axial direction. Each stem removal mechanism includes at least one set of stem removal sections, each set including a blade 1, a support 2, a tension spring 4, an adjusting seat 5, and a hydraulic damper 6. The cutting edge of the blade 1 abuts against the drum 7, and the middle of the blade back is hinged to the support 2 mounted on the frame 3 via a horizontal rotating shaft. The distal end of the blade back (defined as the end of the blade back furthest from the drum 7) is connected to the adjusting seat 5 mounted on the support 2 via the tension spring 4. The blade 1 abuts against the peripheral wall of the drum 7 due to the tension of the tension spring 4. The hydraulic damper 6 is mounted on the frame 3 and located below the blade back of the blade near the end of the drum 7, forming a dynamic buffer structure with the blade 1. When the blade 1 is subjected to external force, it can rotate around the support 2 and eventually collide with the hydraulic damper 6, thereby achieving a buffering effect and preventing damage to the equipment. The adjusting seat 5 includes a base fixed on the frame 3, an adjusting nut screwed to the base, and the upper end of the tension spring 4 fixed to the adjusting nut. The adjusting nut is located directly below the blade 1. By rotating the adjusting nut through the threaded connection with the base, the compression of the tension spring 4 can be changed, thereby adjusting the blade 1 to adapt to chili peppers of different sizes and hardness.

[0017] Furthermore, notches are spaced along the length of the blade 1 to create alternating cutting and avoidance. The stem removal mechanism includes at least two sets of stem removal sections that are equally spaced and staggered along the circumferential direction of the roller 7, so that the notches of adjacent blades 1 in the same mechanism are staggered. Specifically, the notches of adjacent stem removal sections are staggered circumferentially, while the notches of sections separated by stem removal sections are at the same circumferential position. Working principle: Chili peppers enter the roller 7 from the feed inlet. The motor drives the roller 7 to rotate, causing the chili pepper stems to extend out of the mesh of the roller 7. As the roller 7 rotates, the chili pepper stems gradually approach the blade 1. The blade 1 contacts and cuts the chili pepper stem. If the blade 1 is subjected to a large reaction force during the cutting process, it will rotate around the support 2 and eventually collide with the hydraulic damper 6, completing one avoidance action. The cut chili peppers are discharged through the discharge outlet.

[0018] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustration and not for limiting the technical solutions of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions and modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
