[0027] like Figures 1-8As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pulp-removing device for removing the pulp of fruits and vegetables while maintaining the shape of the fruits and vegetables without significant damage. Since this embodiment requires removing the pulp of a winter melon to preserve its outer skin for making a winter melon soup, this embodiment uses the removal of the winter melon pulp as an example to illustrate the structure of the device. The pulp-removing device includes a first workbench 10, a holding mechanism 20, and a pulp-removing tool 30. The first workbench 10 has a bearing surface for supporting all or part of the holding mechanism 20. The holding mechanism 20 is used to hold and fix the winter melon to be pulped, and includes a fixed gripper 21, a movable gripper 22, and a driving device 23 disposed on the bearing surface of the first workbench 10. The driving device 23 is connected to the movable gripper 22, and the driving device 23 can drive the movable gripper 22 to reciprocate linearly in a direction closer to or away from the fixed gripper 21. The fixed gripper 21 and the drive device 23 are fixedly installed on the bearing surface of the first worktable 10. The movable gripper 22 is slidably connected to the first worktable 10. For example, the movable gripper 22 can be slidably connected to the first worktable 10 via a slide rail. When the drive device 23 drives the movable gripper 22 to move towards the fixed gripper 21, it can clamp and fix the winter melon to be scooped out. After the winter melon pulp is scooped out, when the drive device 23 drives the movable gripper 22 to move away from the fixed gripper 21, it can release the clamping and fixing of the winter melon, thereby removing the winter melon from the first worktable 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, the fixed gripper 21 includes a fixed bracket 211, two first clamping brackets 212, and a first clamping belt 213. One end of each of the two first clamping brackets 212 is hinged to the fixed bracket 211, allowing the first clamping brackets 212 to rotate relative to the fixed bracket 211 by a certain angle. The other end of each of the two first clamping brackets 212 is connected to both ends of the first clamping belt 213. The movable gripper 22 includes a movable bracket 221, two second clamping brackets 222, and a second clamping belt 223. One end of each of the two second clamping brackets 222 is hinged to the movable bracket 221, allowing the second clamping brackets 222 to rotate relative to the movable bracket 221 by a certain angle. The other end of each of the two second clamping brackets 222 is connected to both ends of the second clamping belt 223.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first clamping bracket 212 and the second clamping bracket 222, as well as the first clamping belt 213 and the second clamping belt 223, have the same structure. Both the first clamping belt 213 and the second clamping belt 223 are made of soft rubber material, and their tension can be adjusted as the first clamping bracket 212 and the second clamping bracket 222 rotate.

[0030] When the fixed gripper 21 and the movable gripper 22 hold the winter melon, the first clamping belt 213 and the second clamping belt 223 respectively contact the surface of the winter melon. Since the first clamping bracket 212 and the second clamping bracket 222 can rotate at a certain angle, the first clamping belt 213 and the second clamping belt 223 can adapt to the shape of the winter melon, increasing the contact area between them and the winter melon, thereby ensuring the firmness of the clamping and preventing the winter melon from falling off. In addition, since the first clamping belt 213 and the second clamping belt 223 are made of soft rubber material, they can deform according to the shape of the winter melon, preventing the clamping mechanism 20 from damaging the winter melon and ensuring the integrity of the winter melon's shape.

[0031] The pulp-removing tool 30 in this embodiment is used to cut and separate the pulp from the rind of the melon. The pulp-removing tool 30 includes a cylindrical blade 31 and a horizontal blade 32. The horizontal blade 32 is disposed inside the cylindrical blade 31 and is arranged radially along the cylindrical blade 31, meaning that both ends of the horizontal blade 32 are connected to the inner surface of the cylindrical blade 31. The cutting edges of both the cylindrical blade 31 and the horizontal blade 32 are located at the bottom and are flush with each other. The top of the pulp-scooping tool 30 is also equipped with a handle 33. The operator holds the handle 33 and presses it down to insert the cylindrical blade 31 into the winter melon. The cylindrical blade 31 cuts the side of the pulp from the skin. Then, the pulp-scooping tool 30 is rotated, and the horizontal blade 32 cuts and separates the bottom of the pulp from the skin. Finally, the pulp-scooping tool 30 is lifted upwards. Since the pulp is embedded inside the cylindrical blade 31, the pulp is extracted from the winter melon along with the cylindrical blade 31, thus realizing the pulp-scooping function and ensuring the integrity of the winter melon's shape.

[0032] The pulp-removing device disclosed in this embodiment clamps and fixes the winter melon with the clamping mechanism 20, which facilitates the subsequent removal of the pulp using the pulp-removing tool 30, and is conducive to realizing industrialized assembly line processing and production.

[0033] In this embodiment, the fixed gripper 21 further includes at least one first elastic element 214. One end of the first elastic element 214 is connected to the fixed bracket 211, and the other end is connected to the first clamping bracket 212. The first elastic element 214 applies a pulling force to one end of the first clamping bracket 212, causing one end of the two first clamping brackets 212 to move in a direction away from each other, thereby tensioning the first clamping belt 213. It can be understood that there can also be two first elastic elements 214, each connected to one of the two first clamping brackets 212. The movable gripper 22 further includes at least one second elastic element (not shown in the figure). One end of the second elastic element is connected to the movable bracket 221, and the other end is connected to the second clamping bracket 222. The second elastic element applies a pulling force to one end of the second clamping bracket 22, causing one end of the two second clamping brackets 222 to move in a direction away from each other, thereby tensioning the second clamping belt 223.

[0034] In one example, the first elastic element 214 and the second elastic element can be configured as tension springs. The first connecting rod 2121 has a first connecting hole 21211, and the fixed bracket 211 has a connecting hole, with the first connecting hole 21211 located near the first rotating shaft 2123. The two ends of the tension spring are connected to the first connecting hole 21211 and the connecting hole on the fixed bracket 211, respectively. The second connecting rod 2221 has a second connecting hole 22211, and the movable bracket 221 has a connecting hole, with the second connecting hole 22211 located near the second rotating shaft 2223. The two ends of the tension spring are connected to the second connecting hole 22211 and the connecting hole on the movable bracket 221, respectively.

[0035] It should be noted that each of the first connecting rods 2121 in the first clamping bracket 212 may be provided with a first connecting hole 21211. In this structure, two first elastic elements 214 are connected to each first clamping bracket 212. Alternatively, the first connecting hole 21211 may be provided on only one of the first connecting rods 2121. In this case, one first elastic element 214 is connected to each first clamping bracket 212.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first clamping bracket 212 includes two first connecting rods 2121, a first connecting plate 2122 and a first rotating shaft 2123 disposed between the two first connecting rods 2121. The middle part of the first clamping belt 213 is wound around the two first rotating shafts 2123 respectively, and the two ends of the first clamping belt 213 are fixedly connected to the two first connecting plates 2122 respectively. The first connecting rods 2121 are elongated, and the first connecting plate 2122 is flat. The first connecting plate 2122 and the first connecting rods 2121 form a certain angle, that is, the first connecting plate 2122 is inclinedly disposed between the two first connecting rods 2121. The first connecting plate 2122 has multiple threaded holes, and the end of the first clamping belt 213 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 2122 by bolts. The fixed bracket 211 is shaped like an inverted "U" shaped plate, and one end of the two first connecting rods 2121 is hinged to the upper and lower end faces of the fixed bracket 211 respectively.

[0037] The second clamping bracket 222 includes two second connecting rods 2221, a second connecting plate 2222 and a second rotating shaft 2223 disposed between the two second connecting rods 2221. The middle part of the second clamping belt 223 is wound around the two second rotating shafts 2223 respectively, and the two ends of the second clamping belt 223 are fixedly connected to the two second connecting plates 2222 respectively. The second connecting rods 2221 and the first connecting rod 2121, and the second connecting plate 2222 and the first connecting plate 2122 have the same shape and structure. The main body of the movable bracket 221 is made of channel steel. One end of the two second connecting rods 2221 is hinged to the top surface and the bottom surface of the movable bracket 221 respectively. A connecting part 2211 is provided on the side of the movable bracket 221 near the driving device 231, and the movable end of the driving device 231 is connected to the connecting part 2211.

[0038] In this embodiment, a positioning seat 24 is also provided on the bearing plane of the first worktable 10. The positioning seat 24 has an opening, and the winter melon to be processed can be placed in the opening of the positioning seat 24, thereby limiting the placement position of the winter melon. The positioning seat 24 is located between the fixed gripper 21 and the movable gripper 22, and is close to the fixed gripper 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, the driving device 23 is configured as a driving cylinder, and the cylinder rod end of the driving cylinder is connected to the movable gripper 22, thereby driving the movable gripper 22 to move. The driving cylinder is connected to the control component 232 through the pipeline 231. The control component 232 is located at the bottom of the first worktable 10. The control component 232 can be configured as a foot switch, and the operator controls the movement of the driving cylinder by stepping on the foot switch, thereby controlling the movement of the movable gripper 22.

[0040] The pulp-removing device in this embodiment also includes a cutting tool 40, which includes a second workbench 401 and a cutting blade 402. The cutting blade 402 is arranged in a wavy shape on the second workbench 401. Before removing the pulp from the winter melon, it needs to be cut in half along its short axis. When cutting the winter melon with the cutting tool 40, first place the winter melon on the second workbench 401, so that the direction of the cutting blade 402 is perpendicular to the long axis of the winter melon. Then roll the winter melon so that the cutting blade 402 cuts into the winter melon. Continue rolling the winter melon for one revolution until the cutting blade 402 cuts the winter melon. The cut on each side of the winter melon is wavy, which improves the aesthetics of the winter melon's appearance. When cutting the winter melon with the cutting tool 40, the operator only needs to roll the winter melon to complete the cutting, which greatly improves the convenience of cutting.

[0041] Furthermore, the surface of the second workbench 401 is also provided with two parallel limiting strips 403. The two limiting strips 403 are located on both sides of the cutting blade 402, and are arranged along the extension direction of the cutting blade 402, that is, the cutting blade 402 is located in the middle of the two limiting strips 403, and the two limiting strips 403 are parallel to the cutting blade 402. The distance between the two limiting strips 403 should be slightly greater than the long axis length of the winter melon. When the winter melon is rolled for cutting, the two limiting strips 403 can limit the position of the winter melon, prevent the winter melon from tilting, and prevent the cut winter melons from being of inconsistent sizes.

[0042] This disclosure also provides a pulp-removing device, including multiple pulp-removing devices and a conveying system 50. The multiple pulp-removing devices are distributed on both sides of the conveying system 50, wherein the cutting blade 40 can be located upstream of the conveying system 50, and the first worktable 10 is located downstream of the conveying system 50. When the pulp-removing device is working, the operator first uses the cutting blade 40 to cut the winter melon, then places it on the conveying system 50 to be transported to the first worktable 10 for pulp removal, and finally transports the pulped winter melon to other workstations through the conveying system 50.

[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
