Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically a non-contact peeling device. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural products are raw materials obtained directly from agriculture, or products that have undergone only simple processing. Agricultural activities include not only traditional farming, pig raising, fruit picking, and fishing, but also plants, animals, microorganisms, and their related products, such as grains, vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and dairy products. These products can be obtained directly from farmland, farms, forests, and fisheries, or they can be products that have undergone simple sorting, peeling, shelling, washing, cutting, freezing, and other preliminary processing, but have not undergone complex chemical treatment. For example, peeling is an important step in processing fruits or vegetables.

[0003] Peeling agricultural products is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Traditional manual peeling is not only inefficient and prone to uneven peeling of fruits and vegetables, but also leads to a lot of waste. Because manual operation is difficult to control the force and range precisely, it often damages the integrity of fruits and vegetables, reduces the utilization rate after peeling, and has a significant impact on processing efficiency and resource waste.

[0004] Patent CN214962489U discloses a kiwifruit peeling device. It uses a clamping mechanism linked to a first and second rotary motor. A fixed clamping tube and a movable clamping tube work together to clamp and fix the kiwifruit. A peeling mechanism bracket is mounted on a frame, and a high-pressure nozzle is connected to a high-pressure water source. The high-pressure nozzle, positioned on the bracket, applies high-pressure water to the kiwifruit while it rotates, effectively washing away the skin and achieving rapid peeling. Furthermore, the peeling process does not require the operator to touch the kiwifruit; the continuous water flow washes the surface, ensuring the kiwifruit's cleanliness.

[0005] However, the peeling device in this patent has the following drawbacks: the high-pressure washing of the kiwifruit will damage it to some extent, and by clamping both ends of the kiwifruit, the peeling will not be thorough. In addition, it is necessary to put them one by one on the table for peeling, which is complicated. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] In this embodiment, the selected peeled agricultural products include pumpkin, cucumber, yam, and other agricultural products with a round or nearly cylindrical elongated appearance; for specific explanation, the following will provide a detailed description in conjunction with the use of pumpkin for peeling in this embodiment.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a non-contact peeling device includes a base plate 1 and a support rod 2 fixed on the base plate 1. The top of the support rod 2 is provided with a first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 501. The first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501 are inclined to opposite sides at an angle of 15-30 degrees. The inclined first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501 allow the pumpkin to be moved between the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501, which is conducive to peeling the pumpkins one by one.

[0029] Synchronous toothed belts 4 are provided on both sides away from the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501. Synchronous gears are provided at both ends of the synchronous toothed belts 4. Motors 3 are provided on the side away from the synchronous toothed belts 4. The output end of the motor 3 is connected to the rotating shaft of the synchronous toothed belts 4. The motor 3 is fixed on the support rod 2. The first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501 share the same rotating shaft as the synchronous toothed belts 4.

[0030] The synchronous toothed belt 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 3. The synchronous toothed belt 4 drives the rotating shafts at both ends to rotate. The rotating shafts drive the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501 to transmit power, and the pumpkin is placed on the conveyor belt for transmission.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the base plate 1 is also provided with a first ring 6 and a second ring 9. The first ring 6 and the second ring 9 are arranged one after the other. The first ring 6 is provided with a first sliding block 601, and the second ring 9 is provided with a second sliding block 901. The positions of the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 are staggered. The inner sides of the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 are provided with arc-shaped blades 602.

[0032] By setting the arc-shaped blade 602 to better fit the shape of the pumpkin, the peeling is more thorough. The front and rear arrangement of the first ring 6 and the second ring 9 can make the pumpkin peeling more thorough and the peeling effect better. The arrangement of the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 can peel according to the diameter of the pumpkin.

[0033] Please see Figure 3As shown, the first ring 6 and the second ring 9 are provided with sliding grooves 604 that match the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901. The first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 are provided with a first groove 603 on the side away from the opening of the first ring 6 and the second ring 9. A second groove 605 is provided on the outer opening of the first ring 6 and the second ring 9. A ring spring 14 is provided in the second groove 605. The ring spring 14 matches the first groove 603 and is fixedly connected to the first groove 603.

[0034] Please see Figure 4 As shown, a collar 13 is fixedly connected to the first ring 6 and the second ring 9 at the position of the annular spring 14. The diameter of the collar 13 is larger than the diameter of the first ring 6 and the second ring 9. A third groove 1301 is provided on the inner side of the collar 13, and the third groove 1301 is matched with the annular spring 14.

[0035] The ring spring 14 can fix the position of the sliding block. When the pumpkin passes through the first ring 6, the pumpkin squeezes the sliding block. The sliding block is squeezed by the ring spring 14 and can be adjusted according to the diameter of the pumpkin. Peeling is performed in real time according to different pumpkin diameters.

[0036] A first conveyor belt 5 and a second conveyor belt 501 are symmetrically arranged with the first ring 6 and the second ring 9 as the center. The symmetrically arranged first conveyor belt 5 and second conveyor belt 501 are used to convey the peeled pumpkin to the discharge port 801.

[0037] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 As shown, a vertical plate 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 1 near the second ring 9. A discharge port 801 is opened on the vertical plate 8. The height of the discharge port 801 is lower than the height of the junction of the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501.

[0038] A storage box 10 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 8 away from the second ring 9. Holes 1001 are provided on the bottom and around the sides of the storage box 10. A bottom rod 1002 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 10 to support the storage box 10 and facilitate the leakage of water from the storage box 10. A water pipe 11 is provided on the vertical plate 8 at the top of the storage box 10. A support plate 7 is fixedly installed on the vertical plate 8 away from the water pipe 11. A connecting rod 12 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 7. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the first ring 6 and the second ring 9. The connecting rod 12 is used to support the first ring 6 and the second ring 9.

[0039] The height of the storage box 10 is less than the height of the discharge port 801, which makes it easier for the peeled pumpkins to be conveyed one by one from the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501, and to wash the pumpkins one by one.

[0040] Work style:

[0041] The pumpkins to be peeled are moved to the inclined first conveyor belt 5 and second conveyor belt 501, allowing them to be conveyed one by one between the first conveyor belt 5 and the second conveyor belt 501, and conveyed to the center of the first ring 6. Under the action of the ring spring 14, the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 are adjusted in the sliding groove 604 according to the diameter of the pumpkin for peeling. The staggered arrangement of the first sliding block 601 and the second sliding block 901 can further improve the peeling rate and make the peeling effect better. Then, the peeled pumpkins are conveyed to the symmetrically arranged first conveyor belt 5 and second conveyor belt 501. The peeled pumpkins fall one by one from the discharge port 801 into the collection box 10, and the water pipe 11 washes the pumpkins one by one.
