Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Potatoes require peeling during processing. Chinese utility model patent CN220343568U discloses a novel potato peeling machine. This machine includes a conveyor cylinder, a hopper fixed to the left side of the conveyor cylinder, a base plate on the upper side of the hopper, and a feed cylinder fixed to the upper side of the base plate. Steam nozzles are embedded in the outer surface of the feed cylinder, and a fixed support column is vertically arranged inside the feed cylinder. A guide plate is arranged on the outer side of the fixed support column. This design solves the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient manual peeling in traditional potato processing, and the difficulty of completely removing potato skins using mechanical peeling, which still requires secondary manual peeling, resulting in low efficiency and potential damage to the potatoes. By using high-temperature steam heating, the potato skin can be quickly separated from the flesh, efficiently removing the potato skin and improving peeling efficiency. This automated potato peeling operation reduces the need for manual operation and is applicable to various sizes and varieties of potatoes, demonstrating high adaptability.

[0003] However, the existing steam peeling machine does not have a structure for discharging potato peels from its conveyor cylinder, which causes the peeled potatoes to mix with the peeled skin, requiring subsequent separation and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a potato steam peeling machine that can separate peeled potatoes from potato skins, simplify subsequent processes, and improve work efficiency.

[0005] This utility model discloses a potato steam peeling machine, comprising a feeding cylinder, a receiving box, and a conveying trough. The feeding cylinder is vertically installed on the receiving box, and the conveying trough is installed on the side of the receiving box. The feeding cylinder, receiving box, and conveying trough are connected in sequence. It also includes a slag discharge trough, a baffle plate, two rotating shafts, and two spiral blades. A steam assembly is installed inside the feeding cylinder, and a slag discharge trough is provided at the bottom of the conveying trough. The baffle plate is installed on the end of the conveying trough away from the receiving box. The two rotating shafts are installed in parallel and rotatably in the receiving box and the conveying trough. The two rotating shafts are driven by a drive mechanism and rotate relative to each other. Spiral blades are installed on the outer wall of each of the two rotating shafts, and the two spiral blades are arranged alternately. During operation, potatoes are added to the feeding cylinder and conveyed along the feeding cylinder to the receiving box. During the process, the steam unit heats the potato skin, causing it to detach. The potatoes, now in the receiving box, fall onto two spiral blades. Two rotating shafts drive the two spiral blades to rotate relative to each other, thus coordinating the two spiral blades to transport the potatoes to the conveying trough. As the potatoes are conveyed along the trough, they rub against each other and against the two spiral blades, peeling off the skin. The peeled potato skin is carried to the bottom of the conveying trough by the two spiral blades and discharged through the slag discharge hole along with the water condensed from the steam. This achieves the separation of peeled potatoes from potato skins. After reaching the end of the conveying trough, the peeled potatoes pass over the baffle and are discharged, eliminating the need for further separation of potatoes and skins and improving work efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes multiple elastic friction rods, with multiple elastic friction rods provided on the edges of both spiral blades; by installing multiple elastic friction rods on the two spiral blades, the multiple elastic friction rods can peel off the potato skin, and can peel off the skin in the concave parts of the potato surface, thereby improving the peeling effect.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a roller brush, which is rotatably mounted on the feeding trough. The roller brush is arranged perpendicular to the two rotating shafts and is located above the two spiral blades. The rotation of the roller brush assists in peeling the potatoes conveyed on the two spiral blades, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the device also includes a water spray pipe and multiple nozzles. The water spray pipe is mounted on the feeding trough via a bracket and is arranged parallel to the rotating shaft. Multiple nozzles are installed on the water spray pipe, all of which face the two spiral blades. The water spray pipe is connected to a washing water pipe. During the process of conveying potatoes by the two spiral blades, the water spray pipe delivers water and sprays it onto the peeled potatoes through the multiple nozzles, thereby washing away the skin adhering to the surface of the potatoes. The potato skin is then discharged through the slag discharge trough with the water, improving the potato skin separation effect.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a mounting beam, a vertical shaft, and a second spiral blade. The mounting beam is mounted on the feed cylinder, the vertical shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting beam, and the second spiral blade is mounted on the outer wall of the vertical shaft. The second spiral blade is located in the feed cylinder. The vertical shaft drives the second spiral blade to rotate, and the second spiral blade conveys the potatoes to the bottom of the feed cylinder, thereby improving the feeding efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a motor, a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a transmission belt. The motor is mounted on the mounting beam, the driving wheel is concentrically mounted on the output shaft of the motor, the driven wheel is concentrically mounted on the vertical shaft, and the transmission belt is fitted onto the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, the driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the transmission belt, the driven wheel drives the vertical shaft to rotate, and the vertical shaft drives the second spiral blade to rotate, thereby realizing the driving of the second spiral blade. The technology is mature and the driving effect is good.

[0011] Preferably, the device also includes multiple steam nozzles and a rotary joint. The vertical shaft is hollow and has a steam channel inside. The multiple steam nozzles are installed on the vertical shaft and are connected to the internal steam channel. The rotary joint is installed on the vertical shaft and is connected to the steam channel. The upper end of the rotary joint is connected to a steam pipe, so that steam is input into the steam channel of the vertical shaft through the rotary joint and sprayed out through the multiple steam nozzles to heat the potato skin conveyed in the feed cylinder, thereby achieving steam peeling.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it can separate peeled potatoes from potato skins, and the peeled potatoes are discharged after passing over the baffle plate after reaching the end of the feeding trough, eliminating the need for subsequent separation of potatoes and skins, thus improving work efficiency.

A steam assembly is installed inside the feeding cylinder 1, and a slag discharge hole 4 is provided at the bottom of the conveying trough 3. The baffle plate 5 is installed on the conveying trough 3 away from the receiving box. At the end of 2, two rotating shafts 6 are installed in parallel rotation in the receiving box 2 and the conveying trough 3. The two rotating shafts 6 are driven by a drive mechanism and rotate relative to each other. Spiral blades 7 are installed on the outer wall of each of the two rotating shafts 6, and the two spiral blades 7 are arranged alternately. It also includes a water spray pipe 10 and multiple nozzles 11. The water spray pipe 10 is installed on the conveying trough 3 by a bracket.

Spiral blades 14 are mounted on the outer wall of the vertical shaft 13 and are located in the feed cylinder 1. The system also includes a motor 15, a drive wheel 16, a driven wheel 17, and a transmission belt 18. The motor 15 is mounted on the mounting beam 12, and the drive wheel 16 is concentrically mounted on the output shaft of the motor 15. The driven wheel 17 is concentrically mounted on the vertical shaft 13, and the transmission belt 18 is fitted onto the drive wheel 16 and the driven wheel 17. The system also includes multiple steam nozzles 19 and a rotary joint 20. The vertical shaft 13 is hollow and has a steam channel inside. Multiple steam nozzles 19 are mounted on the vertical shaft 13 and communicate with the internal steam channel of the vertical shaft 13. The rotary joint 20 is mounted on the vertical shaft 13 and communicates with the steam channel of the vertical shaft 13.

[0017] During operation, potatoes are added to the feed cylinder 1. Motor 15 drives the drive wheel 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 17 via the transmission belt 18. The driven wheel 17 drives the vertical shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blades 14 to rotate. The spiral blades 14 convey the potatoes downwards from the feed cylinder 1. The upper end of the rotary joint 20 is connected to a steam pipe, allowing steam to enter the steam channel of the vertical shaft 13 through the rotary joint 20 and be sprayed out through multiple steam nozzles 19. This heats the outer skin of the potatoes conveyed in the feed cylinder 1, causing it to detach. The potatoes entering the receiving box 2 fall onto the two spiral blades 7. The two rotating shafts 6 drive the two spiral blades 7 to rotate relative to each other, thus causing the two spiral blades 7 to work together to convey the potatoes downwards. The potatoes are conveyed by the feeding trough 3. During the process of conveying the potatoes along the feeding trough 3, the potatoes rub against each other and against the two spiral blades 7, thereby peeling off the outer skin.

This achieves the separation of the peeled potatoes from the potato skin. After the peeled potatoes reach the end of the feeding trough 3, they pass over the baffle plate 5 and are discharged. There is no need for further separation of potatoes and skins, thus improving work efficiency. Example 2
