Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato sauce production technology, and in particular to a device for peeling and blanching tomatoes. Background Technology
[0002] Tomato sauce is a concentrated tomato paste made from ripe red tomatoes. It is produced by crushing, pulping, peeling and removing seeds from ripe red tomatoes, followed by concentration, bottling and sterilization. The finished product is a bright red sauce with the unique flavor of tomatoes.
[0003] A search revealed a quick-draining tomato peeling blanching device (publication number CN217309072U), comprising a base plate, a blanching mechanism, and a lifting and rotating mechanism. The blanching mechanism is located on the rear side above the base plate, and the lifting and rotating mechanism is located above the blanching mechanism. A rotating rod is rotatably and vertically mounted on the front side of the upper surface of the base plate. This quick-draining tomato peeling blanching device drains water through filter holes in a grid box. A rotating motor drives the grid box to move its front side, and the motor then drives the tomato to be poured onto the upper surface of an inclined plate. Guided by the inclined plate, the tomato comes into contact with the surface of absorbent cotton during the rolling process, thereby wiping the moisture off the tomato surface and quickly draining the water. This facilitates subsequent peeling processing, improves the efficiency of tomato peeling, and is convenient for tomato sauce production.
[0004] Based on the aforementioned patent, tomatoes are poured onto the upper surface of an inclined plate. Guided by the inclined plate, the tomatoes roll and come into contact with the surface of absorbent cotton, thereby drying the moisture on the surface of the tomatoes. However, the absorbent cotton has limited capacity to absorb water and easily reaches saturation, making it impossible to dry the surface moisture of the tomatoes during subsequent rolling, which will affect the subsequent peeling process. In practical use, the absorbent cotton needs to be replaced frequently, which is very inconvenient. In order to address this technical problem, this application proposes a tomato peeling and blanching device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tomato peeling and blanching device. The device involves stacking boxes on support columns to drain the tomatoes inside. Simultaneously, a fan is activated to generate airflow that blows away any residual moisture on the tomato surface, causing the moisture to fall into a collection box. This enhances the drying effect of the tomatoes and facilitates subsequent peeling.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a tomato peeling and blanching device, comprising a base 1, a blanching tank 2 fixedly connected to the top left of the base 1, a water inlet pipe 14 passing through the front left of the blanching tank 2, a drain pipe 12 passing through the front right of the blanching tank 2, a protective shell 15 fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the blanching tank 2, heating coils 16 fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right ends of the protective shell 15, and a support frame 3 connected to the top of the base 1 via a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes electric push rods 13 fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the top of the base 1, with the drive ends of the electric push rods 13... A fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the support frame 3. The fixed plate 5 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the support frame 3 at one end. The support frame 3 is provided with a placement component. The placement component includes a plurality of placement boxes 8 located on the inner wall of the support frame 3. Limiting blocks 18 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of each placement box 8. A partition 4 is provided at the top of the upper placement box 8. Limiting grooves 17 are opened at the four corners of the bottom of the partition 4. The size of the limiting grooves 17 matches the size of the limiting blocks 18. The outer wall of the partition 4 is attached to the inner wall of the support frame 3. A slot is opened at the four corners of the bottom of each placement box 8. The size of the slot matches the size of the limiting blocks 18.
[0024] Specifically, the placement boxes 8 are stacked sequentially in the support frame 3 to limit each other. The top placement box 8 is pressed down by the partition 4, so that the tomatoes placed inside the placement box 8 will not float around during the soaking process. The bottom of the placement box 8 has multiple holes and recessed parts at both the front and rear ends, which allows hot water from the scalding tank 2 to enter the placement box 8 to scald the tomatoes. The electric push rod 13 can drive the fixed plate 5 to move, causing the support frame 3 to move up and down inside the scalding tank 2, making it easy for the operator to take out the tomatoes after scalding.
[0025] A collection box 10 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base 1. A drain pipe 11 is inserted through the front end of the collection box 10. The drain pipe 11 is used to drain the water inside the collection box 10. Support columns 9 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the inner wall of the collection box 10. A fixing frame 6 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the base 1. A fan 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the fixing frame 6.
[0026] Specifically, placing the placement boxes 8 on the support column 9 allows the tomatoes inside to drain. At the same time, activating the fan 7 creates airflow to blow away any remaining moisture on the surface of the tomatoes, causing the water to fall into the collection box 10, thus enhancing the drying effect on the tomatoes and facilitating subsequent peeling. Opening the control valve on the outer wall of the drain pipe 11 allows the liquid accumulated inside the collection box 10 to be discharged for treatment. The limiting block 18 fixed at the top of the placement boxes 8 ensures that the entire structure will not tilt or tip over when the placement boxes 8 are stacked on the support column 9 for drainage.
[0027] Working principle: In actual use, the control valve on the outer wall of the water inlet pipe 14 is opened, and water is injected into the scalding tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 14. Then, the heating coil 16 inside the protective shell 15 heats the water inside the scalding tank 2. Subsequently, the placement boxes 8 containing tomatoes are placed into the support frame 3 in sequence, so that the limiting block 18 at the top of each placement box 8 is engaged in the corresponding slot at the bottom of its upper placement box 8. Then, the limiting groove 17 on the partition 4 is aligned with the upper limit block 18 of the topmost placement box 8, and the partition 4 is placed on the topmost placement box 8. The electric push rod 13 is activated to drive the fixing plate 5 downward, so that the support frame 3 enters the scalding tank 2 to scald the tomatoes. At this time, the partition 4 can press down. Tomatoes are placed in box 8 at the top to prevent them from floating out and affecting subsequent retrieval. After blanching, the outer wall control valve 12 is opened to drain the wastewater inside the blanching tank 2. Then, the electric push rod 13 is activated to raise the support frame 3. At this time, the operator can remove box 8 from the support frame 3 and place it on the support column 9. A new batch of tomatoes that need to be blanched is then placed in the support frame 3 for blanching. The tomatoes that have been blanched are placed at the top of the support column 9. The fan 7 is activated to generate airflow from top to bottom to blow away the residual water on the surface of the tomatoes, which falls into the collection box 10 to dry the tomatoes for subsequent peeling. The wastewater collected in the collection box 10 can be discharged through the drain pipe 11 for treatment.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
