Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a pressure roller, specifically an anti-slip pneumatic pressure roller for an aloe vera leaf peeling machine, belonging to the field of mechanical design and manufacturing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Aloe vera leaf peeling machines often mimic the manual peeling process by pressing the leaves to hold them in place. Currently, this pressing action is primarily achieved using rigid rollers with a striped surface. After washing, the aloe vera leaves retain a large amount of moisture and mucus, making the rigid rollers prone to slipping. This leads to the leaves clogging and accumulating at the pressing rollers. Once this happens, manual cleaning is necessary, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and severely impacts normal aloe vera production. Furthermore, the rigid rollers have sharp blades behind them, posing a risk of injury during cleaning. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems of slippage leading to aloe vera blockage and accumulation, as well as potential injuries during cleaning, caused by the hard rollers used in existing aloe vera leaf peeling machines, this invention provides an anti-slip pneumatic roller for aloe vera leaf peeling machines.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a non-slip inflatable pressure roller for an aloe vera leaf peeling machine, comprising a roller shaft, an inflatable roller, an inner pressure plate, an outer pressure plate, and an inflatable nozzle; wherein:
[0005] The inflatable roller is axially sleeved on the roller shaft, and the left and right ends of the roller shaft are respectively fitted with an inner pressure plate and an outer pressure plate. The inner pressure plate and the outer pressure plate are engaged with the corresponding ends of the inflatable roller to fix and seal the inflatable roller. The inflation nozzle is axially set on the end cap outside the outer pressure plate. The outer surface of the inflatable roller is provided with several grooves to increase the contact area between the roller and the fresh aloe vera leaf through the soft structure of the inflatable roller 1 and its surface grooves, thereby playing a role in anti-slip. The high friction of the soft structure itself also plays a good anti-slip role. The grooves on the inflatable roller can form a suction cup effect when in contact with the fresh aloe vera leaf, further improving the anti-slip ability of the roller and effectively preventing slippage.
[0006] Furthermore, the inflatable roller is a cylinder with open ends, and has an end cap with a central shaft hole and an inwardly protruding outer edge, so as to install or remove the inflatable roller.
[0007] Furthermore, the inflatable roller is designed as a soft, elastic inflatable roller, so that when the inflatable roller comes into contact with fresh aloe vera leaves, it undergoes partial deformation, thereby increasing the contact area between the inflatable roller and the fresh aloe vera leaves and improving the anti-slip effect.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner pressure plate is a disc with a central shaft hole, and the outer edge of the inner pressure plate is provided with an annular groove that mates with the end of the air-filled roller. The inner pressure plate is symmetrically provided with multiple axial screw holes, and each axial through hole is provided with a connecting screw, so as to combine with the outer pressure plate to achieve the fixation and sealing of the air-filled roller.
[0009] Furthermore, the outer pressure plate is a disc with a central shaft hole. A groove is provided at the center of the outward side of the outer pressure plate to mate with the inward protrusion of the end cover. The outer pressure plate is symmetrically provided with multiple axial through holes, and each axial through hole is provided with a connecting screw so that the air roller can be fixed and sealed after being combined with the inner pressure plate through the screw in the axial screw hole.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting screw is screwed into the axial screw hole on the inner pressure plate so as to connect the inner and outer pressure plates through the connecting screw, and the end of the air roller is clamped by the annular groove on the outer edge of the inner pressure plate and the inward inclination of the outer edge of the end cover, so as to ensure the stability and sealing of both ends of the air roller.
[0011] Furthermore, the end cap is provided with a radial screw hole, the inner end of which is connected to the shaft hole of the roller, and the outer end is open. A locking screw is provided in the radial screw hole so as to radially lock the end cap and the roller through the locking screw.
[0012] Furthermore, the inflation nozzle is located on the end cap at one end and is connected to the corresponding axial through holes on the outer pressure plate and the inner pressure plate, until it is connected to the inner cavity of the inflation roller, so as to replenish gas into the inflation roller through the inflation nozzle and ensure that the inflation roller can work normally.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the roller is provided with a radial through hole, and a locking pin is provided in the radial through hole to prevent the outer pressure plate from disengaging from the roller.
[0014] Furthermore, the grooves are designed in a funnel shape, wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, so that when the fresh aloe vera leaves come into contact with the air roller, the air inside the grooves can be squeezed out to form a negative pressure, thereby increasing the adsorption force between the fresh aloe vera leaves and the air roller and preventing the air roller from slipping.
[0015] This invention has the following advantages and effects: By adopting the above solution, the contact area between the inflatable roller and the fresh aloe vera leaf is increased through the soft structure of the inflatable roller, thereby achieving an anti-slip effect. Furthermore, the high friction inherent in the soft structure itself also contributes to a good anti-slip effect. Several grooves on the inflatable roller can form a suction cup effect when in contact with the fresh aloe vera leaf, further enhancing the roller's anti-slip capability and effectively preventing slippage.
