Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a device for removing the stem and peeling tomatoes. Background Technology

[0002] Tomatoes, also known as tomatoes, are a popular fruit and vegetable. In addition to being eaten fresh, tomatoes can be processed into various products such as tomato sauce, tomato juice, dried tomatoes, and canned goods. These processed products not only extend the shelf life of tomatoes but also increase their added value. Since tomatoes have inedible stems, the stems of each tomato need to be removed before processing to avoid affecting the taste and quality of the product.

[0003] However, existing tomato stem removal devices have the following drawbacks: conventional stem removal devices can only remove the stems from tomatoes. In the processing of products such as tomato sauce and tomato juice, tomatoes need to be peeled. The preliminary step for peeling is to cut and break the skin of the tomatoes. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to transfer the tomatoes to other equipment for cutting and breaking the skin after removing the stems, which affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] One object of this application is to provide a highly efficient tomato destemming and peeling device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a tomato stem removal and peeling device, comprising a limiting module, a stem removal module, a first driving module, and multiple placement modules, wherein the limiting module and the stem removal module are arranged opposite to each other, the limiting module is connected to the first driving module, the placement module is adapted to place tomatoes, the placement module is adapted to pass sequentially between the limiting module and the stem removal module, the first driving module is adapted to bring the limiting module closer to the placement module that has passed, and the stem removal module is adapted to remove the stems from the tomatoes on the placement module that has passed;

[0006] The limiting module includes a limiter and a peeling mechanism, the limiter and the peeling mechanism being movably connected.

[0010] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting rods, which are symmetrically arranged along the center of the limiting groove; there are multiple limiting modules arranged in an array, and there are two connecting rods, with the line connecting the two connecting rods deviating from the arrangement direction of the limiting modules in the current row.

[0011] In some embodiments, a second drive module is further included. The stem removal module includes a stem removal seat, a plurality of stem removal mechanisms, and a third drive module. The stem removal seat and the second drive module are connected. The second drive module is adapted to bring the stem removal seat close to the placement module. The stem removal mechanisms and the third drive module are disposed on the stem removal seat. The stem removal mechanisms are provided with a blade head. The third drive module is adapted to drive the blade head to move to remove the stems from the tomatoes on the placement module.

[0012] In some embodiments, the placement module is provided with multiple placement stations, and the bottom of each placement station has a stem removal channel. When the stem removal seat is close to the placement module, the blade head is adapted to pass through the stem removal channel and contact the tomatoes in the placement station. The stem removal mechanism is rotatably mounted on the stem removal seat, and the third drive module is adapted to drive the stem removal mechanism to rotate. The rotation axis of the stem removal mechanism is adapted to coincide with the central axis of the placement station, and the top of the blade head is inclined towards the rotation axis of the stem removal mechanism. The number of stem removal mechanisms is the same as the number of placement stations. The rotation axis direction of the stem removal mechanism is different from the output axis direction of the third drive module, and the stem removal mechanism and the output axis of the third drive module are connected by a bevel gear structure. The top of the blade head is located at the central axis of the limiting groove, and the top of the blade head transitions in an arc shape away from the limiting device. The thickness of the top of the blade head gradually decreases from the middle to both sides.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second drive module is mounted on a frame. The second drive module includes a de-stemming guide rod, a de-stemming transmission link, and a de-stemming driver.

The de-stemming transmission link is eccentrically rotatably connected to the output shaft of the de-stemming driver. The de-stemming transmission link is rotatably connected to the de-stemming module. The de-stemming driver is adapted to cause the de-stemming module to slide along the de-stemming guide rod via the de-stemming transmission link.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first drive module is disposed on a frame. The first drive module includes a limiting guide rod, a limiting transmission link, and a limiting driver. The limiting guide rod is fixedly disposed on the frame. The limiting guide rod and the limiting module are slidably connected. The limiting transmission link is eccentrically rotatably connected to the output shaft of the limiting driver. The limiting transmission link and the limiting module are rotatably connected. The limiting driver is adapted to cause the limiting module to slide along the limiting guide rod through the limiting transmission link.

[0015] In some embodiments, multiple placement modules are arranged on a conveyor belt to pass sequentially between the limiting module and the stem removal module. Each placement module is provided with multiple placement stations, which are adapted to cooperate with the limiting module to fix the tomatoes. The number of the limiting device and the peeling mechanism is the same as the number of placement stations. A receiving tray is provided below the stem removal module.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The tomato destemming and peeling device of this application sets a peeling mechanism on the destemming device, so that the device can perform peeling operation at the same time as destemming, thereby reducing the subsequent transfer and processing process and improving production efficiency. In particular, the peeling mechanism is integrated into the limiting module in this application, so that the action of the peeling mechanism is linked with the action of the limiting module, which can improve the operational stability, reduce the use of the drive structure, and improve the structural compactness.

[0024] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this application.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0027] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates this application:

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides a tomato destemming and peeling device, including a limiting module 1, a destemming module 2, a first driving module 5, and multiple placement modules 3. The limiting module 1 and the destemming module 2 are arranged opposite each other (the operating sides face each other). The limiting module 1 is connected to the first driving module 5. The placement modules 3 are adapted to place tomatoes. The placement modules 3 are adapted to pass between the limiting module 1 and the destemming module 2 in sequence. The first driving module 5 is adapted to bring the limiting module 1 close to the placement module 3 that it passes through and fix the tomatoes on the placement module 3. The destemming module 2 is adapted to perform a destemming operation on the tomatoes on the placement module 3 that it passes through.

[0030] Generally, the stem removal module 2 needs to be close to the limiting module 1 and fix the tomatoes on the placement module 3 before the stem removal operation is performed, so as to improve the stability of the stem removal operation and reduce the probability of stem removal failure due to the movement of the tomatoes.

[0031] In this application, the limiting module 1 is generally suitable to be located above the placement module 3, and the stem removal module 2 is generally suitable to be located below the placement module 3. The limiting module 1 and the stem removal module 2 are arranged separately, which can make full use of vertical space, improve structural compactness, and reduce structural and movement interference between the two. The stem cut off by the stem removal module 2 can fall downward, reducing the probability that the stem will fall onto the placement module 3 and the limiting module 1 and affect the movement.

[0032] The limiting module 1 includes a limiter 11 and a peeling mechanism 12, which are movably connected. The first driving module 5 is adapted to make the limiter 11 abut against the tomato on the placement module 3, and the first driving module 5 is adapted to make the peeling mechanism 12 move relative to the limiter 11 and pass through the limiter 11 to peel the tomato skin.

[0033] Understandably, the first drive module 5 will first cause the limiter 11 and the peeling mechanism 12 to move synchronously closer to the tomato on the placement module 3 until the limiter 11 comes into contact with the tomato and is fixed. After that, the movement of the limiter 11 is blocked by the tomato and will not continue. However, since the limiter 11 and the peeling mechanism 12 are connected, the limiter 11 will still move relative to the limiter 12 under the control of the first drive module 5. The peeling mechanism 12 continues to move closer to the tomato until it cuts the tomato skin. The advantage of this processing is that the tomato is less likely to move when it is peeled, which improves the stability of the peeling and stem removal operations.

[0034] In the above process, the stem removal module 2 can remove the stem from the tomato at any time after the limiter 11 reaches the tomato but before it leaves the tomato. The stem removal module 2 can operate synchronously with the peeling mechanism 12 to improve production efficiency and speed up the production cycle.

[0035] like Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the first drive module 5 is mounted on the frame 4. The first drive module 5 includes a limiting guide rod 51, a limiting transmission link 52, and a limiting driver 53. The limiting guide rod 51 is fixedly mounted on the frame 4 and is slidably connected to the limiting module 1. The limiting transmission link 52 is eccentrically rotatably connected to the output shaft of the limiting driver 53. The limiting transmission link 52 is rotatably connected to the limiting module 1. The limiting driver 53 is adapted to make the limiting module 1 slide along the limiting guide rod 51 through the limiting transmission link 52.

[0036] Using the limit transmission link 52, remote connection and transmission between the limit driver 53 and the limit module 1 can be realized. Using the limit guide rod 51, the movement of the limit module 1 can be guided, improving the stability and consistency of the movement of the limit module 1. Through the eccentric rotation connection between the limit transmission link 52 and the output shaft of the limit driver 53, the continuous drive of the limit driver 53 allows the limit module 1 to perform cyclic reciprocating movements along the limit guide rod 51, so that the limit module 1 can periodically approach and move away from the placement module 3, so as to sequentially cooperate and fix the placement module 3 passing under the limit module 1. The structure is simple and stable, and high consistency of each movement can be obtained without the need for electronic control setting and adjustment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first drive module 5 is a motor.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 4In the embodiment shown, the limiting module 1 includes a limiting seat 13, which mainly serves as an overall support and can be used to install one or more limiters 11 and a slicing mechanism 12 to achieve multi-station processing. The limiting seat 13 is connected to the first drive module 5. The slicing mechanism 12 is fixedly mounted on the limiting seat 13. The limiter 11 is provided with at least one connecting rod 111, which is slidably connected to the limiting seat 13. The limiter 11 achieves relative movement with the limiting seat 13 (slicing mechanism 12) through the connecting rod 111.

[0039] An elastic resetter 14 is provided between the connecting rod 111 and the limiting seat 13. The elastic resetter 14 is adapted to move the limiting device 11 away from the limiting seat 13. The elastic resetter 14 is used to disengage the peeling mechanism 12 from the limiting device 11, ensuring that the limiting device 11 can still contact the tomato before the peeling mechanism 12 in the next processing.

[0040] In some embodiments, the elastic resetter 14 is a spring that can be directly sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 111. It is simple and convenient to install, and does not require additional support and limiting structures, which can improve the compactness of the structure.

[0041] like Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the limiter 11 is provided with a limit groove 112, which is suitable for cooperating with the placement module 3 to fix the tomato. A slicing channel 113 is provided at the bottom of the limit groove 112. The slicing mechanism 12 is suitable for passing through the slicing channel 113 to contact the tomato in the limit groove 112. The slicing channel 113 can guide the slicing mechanism 12 into the limit groove 112 and reduce the structural interference between the slicing mechanism 12 and the limiter 11, thereby reducing the wear of the slicing mechanism 12.

[0042] In some embodiments, the limiting groove 112 is an arc-shaped groove, which can more closely and stably accommodate the tomato.

[0043] In some embodiments, the limiter 11 is bowl-shaped with protrusions on both sides connecting to the connecting rod 111, which can reduce volume, improve structural compactness, and reduce weight.

[0044] like Figure 3 and 4 In the embodiment shown, one end of the elastic resetter 14 is fixedly connected to the limit seat 13, and an adjustment block 15 is provided on the connecting rod 111. The adjustment block 15 is adapted to slide along the connecting rod 111 and be fixed. The other end of the elastic resetter 14 is connected to the adjustment block 15. The adjustment block 15 can be used to change the farthest distance of automatic reset between the limiter 11 and the limit seat 13, thereby changing the stroke of the slicing mechanism 12 approaching the limiter 11 to adapt to different production cycles.

[0045] In some embodiments, a fixing hole is provided on one side of the adjusting block 15, and the adjusting block 15 and the connecting rod 111 are fastened together by threaded fasteners. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0046] In some embodiments, there are multiple connecting rods 111, which are arranged symmetrically along the center of the limiting groove 112 to improve the connection stability between the connector and the connector seat, as well as the stability of the connector when it comes into contact with the placement module 3.

[0047] like Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, there are multiple limiting modules 1 arranged in an array, and two connecting rods 111. The line connecting the two connecting rods 111 is deviated from the arrangement direction of the current row of limiting modules 1. The arrangement of the connecting rods 111 away from the arrangement direction of the limiting modules 1 can avoid the space on both sides of the limiting modules 1, making the arrangement of the limiting modules 1 more compact, thereby improving the overall structural compactness.

[0048] like Figure 2 and 3 In the illustrated embodiment, a second drive module 6 is also included. The stem removal module 2 includes a stem removal seat 21, multiple stem removal mechanisms 22, and a third drive module 7. The stem removal seat 21 is connected to the second drive module 6. The second drive module 6 is adapted to bring the stem removal seat 21 close to the placement module 3. The stem removal mechanisms 22 and the third drive module 7 are disposed on the stem removal seat 21. The stem removal mechanism 22 is provided with a blade head 221. The third drive module 7 is adapted to drive the blade head 221 to remove the stems from the tomatoes on the placement module 3. The blade head 221 can remove the stems by means of central rotational cutting, flat cutting, and rotational gouging cutting.

[0049] like Figure 2 and 3 In the embodiment shown, the placement module 3 is provided with multiple placement stations 31. The placement stations 31 are correspondingly arranged with the stem removal mechanism 22 to realize multi-station processing and improve production efficiency. The bottom of the placement station 31 is provided with a stem removal channel 32. When the stem removal seat 21 is close to the placement module 3, the blade head 221 is suitable to pass through the stem removal channel 32 to contact the tomatoes in the placement station 31. The stem removal channel 32 can reduce the structural interference between the blade head 221 and the placement module 3 and reduce the wear of the blade head 221.

[0050] like Figure 3In the embodiment shown, the stem removal operation performed in this application is a central rotational cutting and stem removal. The stem removal mechanism 22 is rotatably mounted on the stem removal seat 21. The third drive module 7 is adapted to drive the stem removal mechanism 22 to rotate. The rotation axis 222 of the stem removal mechanism 22 is adapted to coincide with the central axis of the placement station 31. The top of the blade head 221 is inclined toward the rotation axis 222 of the stem removal mechanism 22. The top of the blade head 221 coincides with or passes through the rotation axis 222 of the stem removal mechanism 22, so that a trumpet-shaped cut can be made at the stem end of the tomato.

[0051] like Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the top of the blade head 221 is located at the central axis of the limiting groove 112. The top of the blade head 221 transitions in an arc shape away from the limiting device 11. The thickness of the top of the blade head 221 gradually decreases from the middle to both sides. This design of the blade head 221 results in higher sharpness, higher peeling efficiency, and less damage to the edge of the peel on the tomato.

[0052] like Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the rotation axis 222 of the de-stemming mechanism 22 is in a different direction from the output axis of the third drive module 7. The de-stemming mechanism 22 and the output axis of the third drive module 7 are connected by a bevel gear structure, so that one third drive module 7 can drive multiple de-stemming mechanisms 22 simultaneously, thereby improving the structural compactness and reducing the structural complexity.

[0053] like Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the second drive module 6 is mounted on the frame 4. The second drive module 6 includes a de-stemming guide rod 61, a de-stemming transmission link 62, and a de-stemming driver 63. The de-stemming guide rod 61 is fixedly mounted on the frame 4. The de-stemming transmission link 62 is slidably connected to the de-stemming module 2. The de-stemming transmission link 62 is eccentrically rotatably connected to the output shaft of the de-stemming driver 63. The de-stemming transmission link 62 and the de-stemming module 2 are rotatably connected. The de-stemming driver 63 is adapted to make the de-stemming module 2 slide along the de-stemming guide rod 61 through the de-stemming transmission link 62.

[0054] Using the de-stemming transmission linkage 62, remote connection and transmission between the de-stemming driver 63 and the de-stemming module 2 can be achieved. Using the de-stemming guide rod 61, the movement of the de-stemming module 2 can be guided, improving the stability and consistency of the movement of the de-stemming module 2. Through the eccentric rotation connection between the de-stemming transmission linkage 62 and the output shaft of the de-stemming driver 63, the continuous drive of the de-stemming driver 63 allows the de-stemming module 2 to perform cyclic reciprocating movements along the de-stemming guide rod 61, so that the de-stemming module 2 can periodically approach and move away from the placement module 3, so as to sequentially cooperate and fix the placement module 3 passing above the de-stemming module 2. The structure is simple and stable, and high consistency of each movement can be obtained without the need for electronic control setting and adjustment.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second drive module 6 is a motor.

[0056] like Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, multiple placement modules 3 are arranged on the conveyor belt 8 to pass between the limiting module 1 and the stem removal module 2 in sequence. The placement module 3 is provided with multiple placement stations 31, which are suitable for fixing tomatoes in conjunction with the limiting module 1. The number of limiters 11 and peeling mechanisms 12 is the same as the number of placement stations 31, which can realize multi-station processing and improve production efficiency.

[0057] like Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, a receiving tray 9 is provided below the stem removal module 2 for collecting the removed stems for convenient subsequent unified cleaning.
