Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dried fruit processing, and specifically relates to a dried fruit processing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, dried fruit is a popular product among consumers because it retains the nutritional components of the fruit and is easy to store and transport. Slicing the fruit is a crucial step in the dried fruit processing; uniform slices ensure the smooth progress of subsequent drying processes, improving the quality and production efficiency of the dried fruit. Currently, rotary disc fruit slicers are widely used in the slicing process of dried fruit processing due to their high slicing efficiency and ability to operate continuously. This type of slicer cuts the fruit using a high-speed rotating disc; however, during the cutting process, because the fruit itself contains a certain amount of moisture and sticky substances, fruit pulp fragments are inevitably produced. These fragments easily adhere to the slicer's disc, feed channel, and internal gaps.

[0003] To ensure food hygiene and safety and prevent residual fruit scraps from breeding bacteria and affecting the quality of dried fruit, the slicing machine needs to be cleaned regularly. However, existing rinsing methods are mostly external spraying or simple internal rinsing, which are difficult to thoroughly clean some hard-to-reach areas inside the slicing machine. While disassembly cleaning can remove residual scraps to some extent, the structure of rotary disc fruit slicers is relatively complex, requiring professional personnel to disassemble. Disassembly and reassembly consume a lot of time and manpower, seriously affecting the continuity and efficiency of dried fruit processing and increasing processing costs. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, disassembly and reassembly consume a lot of time and manpower, which seriously affects the continuity and production efficiency of dried fruit processing and increases processing costs.

[0006] (2) Technical solution

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dried fruit processing device, including a slicer housing. A sealing plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner front end of the slicer housing. Slicing mechanisms are provided at both the inner and outer ends of the slicer housing.

A feeding unit is provided at the upper end of the inclined plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the feeding unit includes a rotating rod connected to the inner front of the inclined plate, and a rolling roller is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the diameter of the feed pipe at the upper end of the slicer housing decreases sequentially from left to right.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper side of the cutter is slidably connected to the upper inner side of the slicer housing.

[0011] Furthermore, a through-hole is provided in the middle of the inclined plate, and a rubber ring is attached to the inside of the hole. The outer side of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rubber ring.

[0012] Furthermore, a flow channel is provided at the upper end of the cutter.

[0015] (3) Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention, through the design of a slicing mechanism, keeps the motor running and the cutter rotating when the inside of the slicer casing needs cleaning. Cleaning water is then poured into the feed pipe. As the water flows to the cutter surface, it enters the flow channel at the top of the cutter. The centripetal force of the rotating cutter then propels the water away from the fixed ring, reaching various points above the inclined plate inside the slicer casing. Subsequently, gravity causes the water to flow forward along the upper inner side and the upper side of the inclined plate. Thus, because the rotating cutter propels the water to various locations above the inclined plate inside the slicer casing, all remaining fruit residue inside the slicer casing can be thoroughly rinsed away, avoiding the potential problem of dead zones when using an external water gun.

[0018] This invention, by setting up a feeding unit, allows fruit slices that have entered the slicer housing through the feeding pipe and been sliced ​​by the cutter to fall to the outside and above the rolling roller. Then, due to gravity, the rolling roller rotates, which makes the fruit slices fall more smoothly from the front end of the inclined plate, avoiding the problem of fruit slices containing moisture adhering to the surface of the inclined plate and unable to slide down smoothly.

[0026] 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.

[0027] This specific embodiment is a dried fruit processing device, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the slicer includes a slicer housing 1. A sealing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the inner front end of the slicer housing 1. Slicing mechanisms are provided at both the inner and outer ends of the slicer housing 1. The slicing mechanism includes an inclined plate 301 fixedly connected to the upper side of the sealing plate 2. A motor 302 is installed at the middle position of the bottom inner side of the slicer housing 1. A rotating shaft 303 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the output shaft of the motor 302. A through-hole is opened in the middle position of the inner side of the inclined plate 301, and a rubber ring is attached to the inner side of the hole. The outer side of the rotating shaft 303 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rubber ring. Thus, when the rotating shaft 303 rotates in the hole, it will continuously contact the inner side of the rubber ring, so that the rotating shaft 303 and the hole are sealed, preventing juice from seeping from the hole to the bottom of the inclined plate 301 during fruit slicing.

[0028] The rotating shaft 303 has a fixed ring 304 connected to its upper outer side. Cutters 305 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the outer side of the fixed ring 304. Bolts 306 are connected inside the fixed ring 304. Feed pipes 307 for feeding fruits for dried fruit production are connected at equal intervals to the upper front of the slicer housing 1. The diameter of the feed pipes 307 at the upper end of the slicer housing 1 decreases sequentially from left to right. This allows fruits of different sizes to be placed into the feed pipes 307 of corresponding diameters, ensuring that different fruits slide stably along their respective feed pipes 307, thus ensuring that the fruits are neatly sliced. The upper side of the cutter 305 is slidably connected to the upper inner side of the slicer housing 1. Therefore, when the fruit is placed into the feed pipe 307 and slides down into the slicer housing 1, it is continuously sliced ​​by the rotating cutter 305.

[0029] In addition, a flow channel is provided at the upper end of the cutter 305. Therefore, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the slicer housing 1, the motor 302 is kept on to keep the cutter 305 rotating. Then, cleaning water is poured into the feed pipe 307. When the cleaning water flows to the surface of the cutter 305, it flows into the flow channel at the upper end of the cutter 305. Then, due to the centripetal force of the rotating cutter 305, the flowing water is thrown away from the fixed ring 304 to various locations above the inclined plate 301 inside the slicer housing 1. Subsequently, due to gravity, the water flows forward along the upper inner side and the upper side of the inclined plate 301. Thus, because the cleaning water can be thrown to various locations above the inclined plate 301 inside the slicer housing 1 by the rotating cutter 305, all residual fruit residue in the slicer housing 1 can be completely rinsed away, avoiding the problem of dead corners that may exist when rinsing with an external water gun.

[0030] Furthermore, the front end of the retaining ring 304 has a mounting hole, and the upper front end of the rotating shaft 303 has a threaded groove. The outer side of the bolt 306 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting hole, the outer rear end of the bolt 306 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded groove, and the rear end of the bolt head portion abuts against the outer front end of the retaining ring 304. Thus, after the retaining ring 304 is slid to the upper outer side of the rotating shaft 303, the bolt 306 is passed through the mounting hole at the front inside the retaining ring 304 and threadedly connected to the threaded groove at the upper end of the rotating shaft 303. This fixes the retaining ring 304 and the cutter 305 to the upper outer side of the rotating shaft 303, facilitating disassembly and replacement of the cutter 305 if it is damaged.

[0031] Cooperate Figure 5 As shown, a feeding unit is provided at the upper end of the inclined plate 301. The feeding unit includes a rotating rod 401 connected to the inner front of the inclined plate 301, and a rolling roller 402 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 401. A groove is provided above the front end of the inclined plate 301, and circular holes are equally spaced at the left and right ends of the groove. The left and right ends of the rotating rod 401 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the circular holes, and the left and right sides of the rolling roller 402 are slidably connected to the left and right ends of the inner side of the groove. This allows the fruit slices, after entering the slicer housing 1 from the feed pipe 307 and being sliced ​​by the cutter 305, to fall onto the outer side of the rolling roller 402. Then, due to gravity, the rolling roller 402 rotates, allowing the fruit slices to fall more smoothly from the front end of the inclined plate 301, avoiding the problem of fruit slices containing moisture adhering to the surface of the inclined plate 301 and unable to slide smoothly.

[0032] Working principle: When slicing fruit for making dried fruit, the motor 302 is started first. Its output shaft rotates, driving the rotating shaft 303 and the cutter 305 to rotate. Then, the fruit is put into the feed pipe 307. The fruit then falls from the feed pipe 307 into the slicer housing 1. At the same time, the continuously rotating cutter 305 slices the fruit at equal intervals. The sliced ​​fruit slices are fed onto the rolling roller 402 below. Then, due to gravity, the rolling roller 402 rotates, allowing the fruit slices to fall smoothly from the front end of the inclined plate 301 and be collected.

[0033] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0034] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
