[0002] Vegetable processing refers to the process of treating fresh vegetables using physical, chemical, or biological techniques to extend their shelf life, improve their flavor and texture, enhance their nutritional value, or develop diversified products. In the vegetable processing industry, the stems of vegetables (such as tomato stems, eggplant stems, and bell pepper stems) are crucial steps in vegetable pretreatment because they have a rough texture, no edible value, and may affect the flavor and quality of subsequent processed products. They must be thoroughly removed before washing, cutting, pickling, or further processing.

[0003] Traditional vegetable stem removal mainly relies on manual labor. The process usually involves: manually sorting and positioning vegetables, using hand knives or special tools to cut or break off the stems one by one, screening and checking the stem removal effect, and collecting and processing the stem residue and the destemmed vegetables. Manual stem removal requires positioning and operating each vegetable individually, which limits the amount that can be processed per person per hour, resulting in high processing costs and low work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new vegetable processing and stem-removing machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a vegetable processing stem removal machine, which includes: a base 1, a column 11 fixedly installed on the base 1, a turntable 2 that rotates intermittently on the column 11, and a support ring 21 fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 2 on the column 11. The turntable 2 has multiple processing grooves 22 distributed in a ring. A limiting cover 3 that closes the bottom opening of most of the processing grooves 22 is fixedly installed on the base 1. A reciprocating lifting stem removal structure 4 is installed on the upper end of the column 11.

[0027] It should be noted that: the turntable 2 rotates around the column 11; the processing trough 22 is used to place vegetables with relatively regular shapes and stems; the actual size of the processing trough 22 is determined according to the size of the vegetables; the support ring 21 supports the turntable 2; the limiting cover 3 seals the bottom of most of the processing troughs 22; and the stem removal structure 4 removes the stems from the vegetables in the processing troughs 22. During the removal of vegetables, the vegetables are placed in the processing troughs 22 with their bottoms closed. The vegetables must be placed away from the stem removal structure 4 and should not interfere with its operation. Furthermore, the vegetables cannot be placed in processing troughs 22 whose bottoms are not sealed by the limiting cover 3. Vegetables can be placed manually. Placed in the processing tank 22, vegetables can also be fed using specialized placement equipment. The intermittently rotating turntable 2 will cause the vegetables in the processing tank 22 to rotate and move, so that the vegetables are moved to the processing position of the stem removal structure 4 for stem removal. After stem removal, the vegetables will rotate with the turntable 2 until they reach the bottom of the processing tank 22 where they are not closed by the limiting cover 3. Some vegetables will fall off automatically, while some vegetables, due to their large size, will be stuck in the processing tank 22. They will be assisted in unloading at the unloading station of the stem removal structure 4, which is used to assist the unloading of vegetables in the processing tank 22, to prevent subsequent repeated processing. By mechanically removing the stems from the vegetables, continuous batch processing can be achieved, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The stem removal structure 4 includes a reciprocating lifting connecting plate 44. Two vertically arranged extension rods 45 and sleeves 47 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 44. A pressure block 46 and an annular cutting blade 48 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the extension rods 45 and sleeves 47, respectively. The annular cutting blade 48 is located directly above the processing groove 22 whose bottom is closed by the limiting cover 3, and the pressure block 46 is located directly above the processing groove 22 whose bottom is not closed by the limiting cover 3.

[0029] It should be noted that: the connecting plate 44 is used to connect the sleeve 47 and the extension rod 45. The sleeve 47 and the extension rod 45 are respectively used to connect the pressing block 46 and the annular cutting blade 48. The annular cutting blade 48 is used to press down and remove the stem of the vegetable. The pressing block 46 assists in unloading the vegetables stuck in the processing groove 22. The pressing block 46 and the annular cutting blade 48 move up and down synchronously to remove the stem of the vegetable and assist in unloading the vegetable after removing the stem. This utility model, through the combination of the intermittently rotating turntable 2 and multiple annularly distributed processing grooves 22, can simultaneously carry multiple portions of vegetables to be processed. With the intermittent rotation of the turntable 22, the vegetables can be transported sequentially to the bottom of the stem removal structure 4, replacing manual processing one by one, realizing continuous and batch removal of the stem of the vegetable, greatly improving processing efficiency, and reducing labor costs and operating intensity.

[0030] The column 11 is fixedly mounted with an mounting plate 41, and a cylinder 42 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 41. A piston rod 43 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cylinder 42, and the lower end of the piston rod 43 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 44. The cylinder 42 controls the extension and retraction of the piston rod 43, thereby performing reciprocating lifting and lowering operations on the pressure block 46 and the annular cutting blade 48, which has good stability.

[0031] Furthermore, the annular cutting blade 48 is internally connected to the sleeve 47 and has the same inner diameter. The sleeve 47 has a strip-shaped opening 471. An extrusion structure 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 41. The extrusion structure 8 includes an extrusion block 82 slidably connected inside the sleeve 47. A horizontally arranged sliding rod 81 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the extrusion block 82. The sliding rod 81 passes through the strip-shaped opening 471 and extends to the outside of the sleeve 47. A fixing rod 83 is fixedly mounted on the end of the sliding rod 81 located outside the sleeve 47. The upper end of the fixing rod 83 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 41. When using the annular cutting blade 48 to remove the stems from vegetables, the stems of the vegetables may get stuck inside the annular cutting blade 48. This can be corrected by extrusion. Block 82 squeezes out the stem stuck inside the annular cutter 48. The slide bar 81 slides along the strip opening 471. The fixing rod 83 limits and fixes the slide bar 81, and limits and fixes the extrusion block 82 fixedly connected to the slide bar 81. After the annular cutter 48 rises, the extrusion block 82 moves downward relative to the annular cutter 48, squeezing out the stem stuck inside the annular cutter 48. The extrusion block 82 is always located inside the sleeve 47 and moves relative to it. The extrusion block 82 can squeeze out the stem stuck inside the annular cutter 48 in real time. The whole process is completed synchronously with the stem removal action, without manual intervention, and completely avoids downtime caused by cleaning the stuck stem.

[0032] The sleeve 47 has two symmetrically distributed strip openings 471, and the two ends of the slide rod 81 pass through the two strip openings 471 and extend to the outside of the sleeve 47. The two ends of the slide rod 81 are fixedly installed with fixing rods 83 that are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 41. The two fixing rods 83 improve the overall stability of the extrusion structure 8.

[0033] It is worth noting that: a receiving structure 7 is installed on the base 1, which includes an inclined arc-shaped guide plate 73, and a rotating shaft 72 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the arc-shaped guide plate 73. A stepper motor 71 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the rotating shaft 72 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 71. The stepper motor 71 controls the rotating shaft 72, on which the arc-shaped guide plate 73 is fixedly installed at the top, to rotate back and forth. In actual use, during the process of the annular cutter 48 removing the stems from the vegetables in the processing groove 22, the arc-shaped guide plate 73 is offset from the annular cutter 48 by a certain distance, so that it does not affect the stem removal operation of the annular cutter 48. During the positioning process, when the annular cutting blade 48 moves higher than the arc-shaped guide plate 73 and the extrusion block 82 does not contact the stem portion stuck inside the annular cutting blade 48, the arc-shaped guide plate 73 immediately rotates to directly below the annular cutting blade 48 to receive the stem portion stuck inside the annular cutting blade 48. After the extrusion block 82 extrudes the stem portion stuck inside the annular cutting blade 48, the fallen stem portion falls onto the arc-shaped guide plate 73 and falls down from one side of the base 1 along the arc-shaped guide plate 73. Before the annular cutting blade 48 performs the next stem removal operation, the arc-shaped guide plate 73 rotates and shifts to one side of the annular cutting blade 48. There is no need for manual cleaning of the stem residue, which improves work efficiency.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A drive structure 5 is installed on the base 1. The drive structure 5 includes a drive motor 51 fixedly installed on the base 1, and a drive shaft 52 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 51. A drive gear 53 is fixedly installed at the top end of the drive shaft 52, and a driven gear 54 that meshes with the drive gear 53 is fixedly sleeved on the support ring 21.

[0035] It should be noted that: the drive motor 51 drives the drive gear 53 on the drive shaft 52 to rotate, and the drive gear 53 drives the driven gear 54 to rotate, thereby controlling the turntable 2 to rotate intermittently according to the processing groove 22.

[0036] It is worth noting that both the drive gear 53 and the driven gear 54 are located inside the limit cover 3, which protects most of the components in the drive motor 51.

[0037] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A feeding structure 6 is installed on the base 1. The feeding structure 6 includes a reciprocating motor 61 fixedly installed on the base 1. A drive rod 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the reciprocating motor 61. A connecting rod 63 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drive rod 62. An arc plate 64 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 63. The arc plate 64 is located directly below the pressure block 46.

[0038] It should be noted that after the pressing block 46 squeezes the destemmed vegetables out of the processing tank 22, the vegetables fall onto the base 1. The reciprocating motor 61 controls the drive rod 62 to rotate, and the connecting rod 63 drives the arc plate 64 to sweep the vegetables that have fallen onto the base 1 down. A collection box can be placed next to the base 1 to collect the swept vegetables.

[0039] It is worth noting that: to protect the various motors in this utility model, protective covers can be installed on the motors for protection. The drive motor 51 can be a servo motor of model MSMD042G1U, which can provide stable power output to meet the needs of the turntable 2 to drive multiple portions of vegetables to rotate intermittently. Its high-precision control characteristics can ensure that the angle of each rotation of the turntable 2 is accurate, so that the vegetables can be accurately delivered to the bottom of the stem removal structure 4. At the same time, it has good overload capacity and can cope with the impact load when the turntable 2 starts and stops, ensuring stable operation of the equipment; the reciprocating motor 61 can be of model 52K120GU-CF. The motor is compact and easy to install, meeting the size and torque requirements of the feeding structure 6. Its stable operation ensures that the arc plate 64 reliably sweeps the destemmed vegetables from the base 1 to the collection box. The stepper motor 71 can be a 42BYGH402 stepper motor, which can achieve relatively precise angle control, ensuring that the arc guide plate 73 accurately rotates to the lower stem receiving part when the annular cutter 48 rises and resets. It can quickly respond to the instructions of the control system and adjust the position of the arc guide plate 73 in a timely manner during the destemming operation and reset of the annular cutter 48, thereby improving the overall working efficiency of the equipment.

[0040] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
