Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of konjac processing and peeling equipment, and in particular to a konjac processing and peeling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Amorphophallus in the family Araceae. Its tubers are rich in nutrients, low in calories, high in protein, and rich in trace elements, making it a healthy functional food. The entire konjac plant is poisonous, with the tubers being the most toxic. It cannot be eaten raw and must be processed before consumption. The production and processing of konjac food first requires washing and peeling the freshly harvested konjac to obtain clean konjac tubers; then, it undergoes processes such as cutting, drying, crushing, and sieving.

[0003] Washing and peeling are crucial steps in konjac food production, and the thoroughness of these processes directly impacts product quality. Currently, konjac washing and peeling in production includes manual and mechanical methods. A common example of mechanical washing equipment is a konjac washing and peeling device disclosed in patent publication number CN213523799U. This device features a peeling box with several peeling rollers arranged in an arc shape inside. The konjac passes over these rollers, and the rotation of the rollers rubs off the outer skin, thus saving labor.

[0004] However, in actual operation, because the peeling rollers are distributed in an arc shape, the konjac tubers will gather at the lowest point of the peeling area. Some konjac tubers will be squeezed out and unable to contact the peeling rollers, resulting in poor peeling effect for some konjac tubers. Utility Model Content

The material leveling component is equidistantly distributed between the pitches of the pusher wheel and disposed outside the rotating shaft. The driving component is connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0010] In some embodiments, the material leveling component includes a plurality of semicircular pressure plates equidistantly distributed between the screw pitches of the pusher wheel and a semicircular support plate fixedly installed and adapted to the plurality of semicircular pressure plates. The semicircular support plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft.

Springs are sleeved on the outside of the sliding rods, with their two ends fixedly connected to the inner wall of the semicircular pressure plate and the outer wall of the semicircular support plate, respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, a rubber sleeve is provided between the side edge of the semicircular pressure plate and the side edge of the semicircular support plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the driving component includes a first motor fixedly mounted on the end of the housing and used to drive the rotating shaft, and a second motor fixedly mounted on the side of the housing opposite to the first motor. Several peeling rollers are each fixedly mounted with adjacent meshing slave gears at one end near the second motor. One end of the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a master gear that meshes with the adjacent slave gear.

[0013] In some embodiments, the spraying component includes a water pipe extending through the length of the housing and a plurality of spray holes formed outside the water pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, a waste discharge guide plate is inclinedly arranged at the bottom of the box body, and the waste discharge guide plate is located below the peeling roller.

[0025] In an exemplary implementation, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a konjac processing peeling machine, including a housing 100, peeling rollers 200, a feeding component 300, a material equalizing component 400, a driving component 500, and a spraying component 600. The feeding component 300 is rotatably installed inside the housing 100 and located above the peeling rollers 200. The outer edge of the feeding component 300 is adapted to the outer contour of several peeling rollers 200. Several material equalizing components 400 are provided and are equidistantly distributed along the conveying direction of the feeding component 300. Several material equalizing components 400 are elastically installed on the feeding component 300 and are used to evenly distribute the konjac tubers on the peeling rollers 200. The driving component 500 is installed outside the housing 100 and is used to drive the feeding component 300 and several peeling rollers 200 to rotate respectively. The spraying component 600 penetrates and is rotatably arranged inside the housing 100 and is used to spray the konjac tubers on the peeling rollers 200.

[0026] In this embodiment, a box body 100 is provided, and several peeling rollers 200 are rotatably arranged inside the box body 100. A feeding component 300 is arranged above the peeling rollers 200, and a material leveling component 400 is arranged on the feeding component 300. Specifically, konjac tubers are introduced into the box body 100, and the driving component 500 is activated to drive the feeding component 300 to rotate. The feeding component 300 drives the konjac tubers to move to the other end of the box body 100. At the same time, the several peeling rollers 200 rotate together. During the movement of the konjac tubers outside the several peeling rollers 200, they are rubbed and peeled by the peeling rollers 200. Further, the feeding component 300 rotates and drives the material leveling component 400 to contact and squeeze downward to disperse the konjac tubers, so that the konjac tubers can be evenly distributed on the peeling rollers 200, thereby avoiding the konjac tubers from aggregating and piling up.

[0027] For details, see Figure 4 Each of the peeling rollers 200 is covered with a friction layer 210 to improve the peeling effect on konjac tubers.

[0028] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-2The box 100 is relatively closed, and the box 100 has an inlet 110 and an outlet 120 on both ends respectively. The inlet 110 and the outlet 120 are respectively fixedly installed with a feed guide plate 130 and a discharge guide plate 140 at opposite ends. The two ends of the feeding component 300 are adapted to the inlet 110 and the outlet 120 respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the box 100 is relatively sealed compared to the peeling box of a conventional peeling device. The inlet 110 and the outlet 120 are respectively located at both ends of the box 100. In conjunction with the feeding component 300, the konjac tubers can be moved from one side of the box 100 to the other side to achieve continuous operation.

[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The feeding component 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 rotatably mounted along the length of the housing 100 and a pusher wheel 320 fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 310. The outer edge of the pusher wheel 320 is adapted to the inner side of the arc formed by several peeling rollers 200. The equalizing component 400 is equidistantly distributed between the pitches of the pusher wheel 320 and is located on the outside of the rotating shaft 310. The driving component 500 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 310.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive unit 500 drives the rotating shaft 310 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 310 drives the pusher wheel 320 to rotate above several peeling rollers 200. Specifically, the several peeling rollers 200 are distributed in an arc shape, and the center of the cross-sectional circle of the rotating shaft 310 coincides with the distribution center of the several peeling rollers 200. Therefore, the outer edge of the pusher wheel 320 can be adapted to the outer side of the peeling rollers 200. In conjunction with the feed inlet 110 and the discharge outlet 120 of the housing 100, the purpose of continuous operation is achieved.

[0032] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-4 and Figure 6 The material equalizer 400 includes several semi-circular pressure plates 410 equidistantly distributed between the screw pitches of the pusher rollers 320 and a semi-circular support plate 420 fixedly installed and adapted to the several semi-circular pressure plates 410. The semi-circular support plate 420 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 310. Several sliding rods 430 are vertically slidably arranged on the semi-circular support plate 420 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the semi-circular pressure plate 410. Springs 440 are sleeved on the outside of the sliding rods 430, with both ends fixedly connected to the inner wall of the semi-circular pressure plate 410 and the outer wall of the semi-circular support plate 420 respectively.

[0033] In this embodiment, the semi-circular pressure plate 410 can rotate together with the rotating shaft 310. Specifically, the rotation of the rotating shaft 310 drives the semi-circular support plate 420 to rotate. The semi-circular support plate 420 drives the semi-circular pressure plate 410 to rotate together through several sliding rods 430. When the semi-circular pressure plate 410 rotates downward, it can squeeze and separate the konjac bulbs. At the same time, the rotation of the semi-circular pressure plate 410 can drive the konjac bulbs to move circumferentially within the box 100, so that the konjac bulbs are better distributed.

[0034] Furthermore, since the slide bar 430 passes through the semi-circular support plate 420, the semi-circular pressure plate 410 can slide outside the semi-circular support plate 420 through the slide bar 430. At this time, the semi-circular pressure plate 410 will squeeze the spring 440 outside the slide bar 430 so that the semi-circular pressure plate 410 has a certain buffering elasticity downward, which better protects the konjac tuber.

[0035] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve 450 is provided between the side edge of the semicircular pressure plate 410 and the side edge of the semicircular support plate 420. The rubber sleeve 450 can make the space between the semicircular pressure plate 410 and the semicircular support plate 420 relatively closed, thereby extending the service life of the mechanism.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The drive unit 500 includes a first motor 510 fixedly installed on the end of the housing 100 and used to drive the rotating shaft 310, and a second motor 520 fixedly installed on the side of the housing 100 opposite to the first motor 510. Several peeling rollers 200 are each fixedly installed with adjacent meshing driven gears 530 at one end near the second motor 520. One end of the output shaft of the second motor 520 is fixedly connected with a main gear 540 that meshes with the adjacent driven gear 530.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first motor 510 can drive the rotating shaft 310 and the pusher wheel 320 to rotate, and the second motor 520 drives the main gear 540 to mesh with the adjacent driven gear 530. The driven gears 530 on one end of the peeling rollers 200 mesh and rotate in sequence.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The spray unit 600 includes a water pipe 610 that runs through the length of the housing 100 and a plurality of spray holes 620 opened on the outside of the water pipe 610.

[0039] In this embodiment, both ends of the water pipe 610 are connected to a water source. The water source sprays water onto the konjac bulb through the spray holes 620 of the water pipe 610, thus peeling the konjac bulb while keeping it clean. At the same time, the output shaft of the first motor 510 drives the rotating shaft 310 and the water pipe 610 to rotate through two sprocket sets, and the rotation of the water pipe 610 allows the water to be sprayed more evenly.

[0040] Furthermore, a waste discharge guide plate 150 is inclinedly arranged at the bottom of the box 100. The waste discharge guide plate 150 is located below the peeling roller 200. The wastewater impurities produced by the spray fall onto the waste discharge guide plate 150 by gravity. The waste discharge guide plate 150 is inclined and gradually forms a V-shaped channel in the middle downward. Thus, the wastewater flows to the inclined downward side of the waste discharge guide plate 150 by gravity and is discharged from one side of the box 100.

[0041] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 6 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail as follows: In use, the first motor 510 and the second motor 520 are started. The first motor 510 drives the rotating shaft 310 and the pusher wheel 320 to rotate. The second motor 520 drives the main gear 540 to mesh with the adjacent driven gear 530. Several driven gears 530 on one end of several peeling rollers 200 mesh and rotate sequentially. At this time, the konjac tubers to be peeled are guided into the box 100 through the feed guide plate 130. The konjac tubers first contact several... The peeling roller 200 and the pusher roller 320 simultaneously move the konjac tubers towards the discharge end of the box 100. During this process, the rotating shaft 310 rotates, causing the semi-circular support plate 420 to rotate. The semi-circular support plate 420 drives the semi-circular pressure plate 410 to rotate together through several sliding rods 430. When the semi-circular pressure plate 410 rotates downward, it can squeeze and separate the konjac tubers. At the same time, the semi-circular pressure plate 410 rotates, which can drive the konjac tubers to move circumferentially within the box 100, so that the konjac tubers are better distributed.

[0042] Furthermore, both ends of the water pipe 610 are connected to a water source, and the water source sprays water onto the konjac bulb through the spray hole 620 of the water pipe 610, so that the konjac bulb is peeled while remaining clean.

[0043] In summary, this utility model solves the technical problem of poor peeling effect caused by the accumulation of konjac tubers in existing peeling devices by using a feeding component 300 to move the konjac tubers and cooperating with several equalizing components 400 to squeeze downwards to avoid the konjac tubers from aggregating and piling up. This achieves the technical effect of improving the working efficiency and peeling quality during the operation.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
