Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically, it relates to a multi-station coring device for agricultural product processing. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the taste of agricultural products or to differentiate their processing, some fruits require core removal. For example, the cores of pineapples and other similar fruits need to be removed so that the core and the surrounding flesh can be processed separately to create different products. Similarly, the cores of apples and pears are removed because the seeds in the center affect the taste and are not suitable for consumption.

[0003] In current technology, when removing the core from agricultural products, a hollow cylinder is needed to complete the core removal operation. After cutting off both ends of the agricultural product, the hollow cylinder is inserted into the agricultural product by applying pressure. The hollow cylinder separates the outer pulp of the agricultural product from the inner core. After that, the hollow cylinder can be pulled out to remove the core from the agricultural product.

[0004] In existing technologies, when the hollow cylinder is removed from agricultural products, the inner core is also removed together. Afterward, the inner core needs to be manually removed from the hollow cylinder. It is not possible to remove the inner core from the hollow cylinder at the same time as removing the hollow cylinder from the agricultural products, which is quite cumbersome. Therefore, it cannot meet the production needs of higher demands and has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problem in existing technologies where the core-removing cylinder cannot automatically remove the core from the agricultural product, making core removal cumbersome, this utility model provides a multi-station core-removing device for agricultural product processing.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A multi-station coring device for agricultural product processing includes a turntable and a support platform. Multiple stations are sequentially arranged on the turntable, with every three stations forming a coring section: a feeding station, a coring station, and a discharging station. Telescopic cylinders are fixedly installed on the turntable above each coring station. A hollow tube is connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder via a flange. A coring tube is detachably connected to the lower end of the hollow tube. A core-lifting column is slidably installed inside the formed long groove. The core-lifting column is connected to the cylinder body of the telescopic cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the top core column is fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged first connecting ears; the hollow tube is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the position of the first connecting ear, and the first connecting ear is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove; the lower end of the telescopic cylinder body is fixedly connected with symmetrically arranged second connecting ears; the first connecting ears and the second connecting ears are connected to each other by a connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the telescopic cylinder drives the hollow tube and the core-removing tube to descend together, with the core-removing tube moving away from the top core post and using the annular cutting edge to cut into the inside of the pineapple, separating the pineapple core from the pineapple flesh; the telescopic cylinder drives the hollow tube and the core-removing tube to rise together, with the core-removing tube approaching the top core post and using the top core post to push the pineapple core out of the core-removing tube to the outside.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower end of the core tube has an annular, blade-like structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the core tube and the hollow tube have the same inner diameter, together forming a long groove structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper surface of the turntable is arrayed with multiple circular grooves; the circular grooves corresponding to the loading station and the core-taking station do not penetrate to the lower surface of the support platform, while the circular grooves corresponding to the unloading station penetrate to the lower surface of the support platform.

[0013] Furthermore, a receiving bin is provided at the lower part of the support platform corresponding to the unloading station.

[0014] Furthermore, the support platform has a circular structure, and the support platform and the turntable have the same diameter; the turntable is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the support platform.

[0015] Furthermore, a servo motor is fixedly installed at the center below the support platform. The output end of the servo motor is connected to the turntable, driving the turntable to rotate in a stepping manner.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, since the top core column is connected to the telescopic cylinder through the first connecting ear, the second connecting ear and the connecting rod, the top core column and the telescopic cylinder are always in a relatively static state, and the top core column and the core-removing tube are in a state of being far away from each other or close to each other, so as to achieve the purpose of the core-removing tube removing the core from the pineapple and the top core tube removing the core from the core-removing tube automatically and synchronously.

[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 As shown, each of the positions above the core-taking station on the turntable 1 is fixedly equipped with a telescopic cylinder 3, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder 3 faces the circular groove 5; the output end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is connected to a hollow tube 7 via a flange 6; the lower end of the hollow tube 7 is detachably connected to a core-taking tube 9; the lower end of the core-taking tube 9 has an annular blade-like structure, used to penetrate deep into the pineapple pulp to cut out the inner core; the core-taking tube 9 and the hollow tube 7 have the same inner diameter, together forming a long groove structure; a core-taking column 10 is slidably installed inside the long groove.

[0029] Please refer to it again. Figure 4As shown, the top core column 10 is fixedly connected to a symmetrically arranged first connecting ear 11; the hollow tube 7 is provided with a sliding groove 8 corresponding to the position of the first connecting ear 11, and the first connecting ear 11 is slidably disposed inside the sliding groove 8; the lower end of the telescopic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to a symmetrically arranged second connecting ear 13; the first connecting ear 11 and the second connecting ear 13 are connected to each other through a connecting rod 12.

[0030] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below:

[0031] The core of a pineapple can be removed by following these steps:

[0032] The first step is to peel the pineapple and cut off both ends as a pretreatment.

[0033] The second step involves workers at each loading station placing the pre-treated pineapples inside the circular trough 5.

[0034] The third step involves using servo motor 14 to drive turntable 1 to rotate in a stepping manner, transferring the pineapple from the circular groove 5 at the feeding station to the circular groove 5 at the core removal station.

[0035] In the fourth step, the telescopic cylinder 3 drives the hollow tube 7 and the core-removing tube 9 to descend together. The core-removing tube 9 moves away from the top core column 10 and uses the annular cutting edge to cut into the inside of the pineapple, separating the inner core of the pineapple from the pineapple flesh.

[0036] In the fifth step, the telescopic cylinder 3 drives the hollow tube 7 and the core-removing tube 9 to rise together. The core-removing tube 9 approaches the top core column 10, and the top core column 10 pushes the pineapple core out of the core-removing tube 9 to the outside, and then it falls back into the circular groove 5.

[0037] In the sixth step, the servo motor 14 drives the turntable 1 to rotate in a stepping manner, transferring the pineapple after core removal along with its inner core to the unloading station. Since the circular groove 5 here extends through the lower surface of the support table 2, the pineapple and its inner core will fall into the receiving bucket 4.

[0038] Since the top core column 10 is connected to the telescopic cylinder 3 through the first connecting ear 11, the second connecting ear 13 and the connecting rod 12, the top core column 10 and the telescopic cylinder 3 are always in a relatively static state. The top core column 10 and the core removal tube 9 are either far away from each other or close to each other, so as to achieve the purpose of the core removal tube 9 removing the core from the pineapple and the top core tube automatically and synchronously removing the core from the core removal tube 9.
