Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of peeling machine technology, and in particular discloses an improved and convenient peeling machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of food processing auxiliary equipment, peelers are commonly used tools, and their technical performance and user experience directly affect user operating efficiency and food processing quality. Conventional peelers may have problems such as unreasonable structure, poor peeling effect, and insufficient ease of use. For example, the design of the peeling components may not be able to effectively collect fruit peel waste, leading to cleaning difficulties; during the peeling process, the contact between the fruit and the peeler is not ideal, affecting the uniformity and integrity of the peel; at the same time, there may be defects in the installation stability of various components and the sealing of the overall structure, making it difficult to meet users' needs for efficient, convenient, and hygienic fruit peeling. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an improved and convenient peeling machine.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an improved and convenient peeler, comprising a housing, a peeling assembly disposed within the housing, a guide assembly, a cover covering the housing, and a drive motor. The cover has a shaft hole. The peeling assembly includes a peeling unit and a shaft component disposed on the peeling unit. One end of the shaft component is rotatably engaged with the housing, and the other end of the shaft component protrudes from the shaft hole and connects to the drive motor. When the fruit to be peeled is placed into the housing, the drive motor drives the shaft component to rotate, thereby rotating the peeling unit to peel the fruit. During the peeling process, the guide assembly guides the fruit to be peeled toward the center of the peeling unit.
[0005] The peeling component and the guiding component are sequentially housed within the housing, with a cover closing on top of the housing. The cover has a shaft hole on its upper part for the shaft of the peeling component to extend and connect to the drive motor. In use, the fruit to be peeled is placed inside the housing, and the drive motor is started to rotate the shaft, causing the peeling unit to rotate and peel. During this process, the guiding component plays a crucial role, continuously guiding the fruit towards the center of the peeling unit, ensuring that all parts of the fruit are evenly in contact with the peeling unit, improving the uniformity and integrity of the peeling. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, and the operation is convenient, meeting the needs for efficient and convenient fruit peeling.
[0006] The peeling assembly includes a base and multiple sets of blades mounted on the base. The base and the shaft are integrally formed. The lower end of the shaft is detachably and rotatably engaged with the bottom of the housing. The base divides the housing into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The base is provided with multiple sets of discharge holes. The blades are located on the side of the discharge holes. The upper chamber and the lower chamber are connected through the discharge holes. The fruit to be peeled is placed on the upper chamber, and the peel waste generated during the peeling process falls into the lower chamber through the discharge holes.
[0007] During use, place the fruit to be peeled in the upper chamber, start the drive motor to rotate the shaft and base, which in turn causes the blades to rotate for peeling. During peeling, the resulting fruit peel waste falls naturally into the lower chamber through the discharge hole along the inclined or specially designed structure, effectively separating the peel from the fruit to be peeled. This prevents peel accumulation from affecting the peeling effect and facilitates subsequent centralized cleaning of the fruit peel waste, making the entire peeling process more efficient, hygienic, and convenient.
[0008] The base is provided with multiple sets of mounting parts in the circumferential direction. The bearing surface of the mounting part is lower than the reference surface of the base. The blade is attached and pressed on the bearing surface of the mounting part. Multiple sets of mounting grooves with internal threads are opened on the mounting part. Multiple sets of through holes are provided on the blade. External fasteners pass through the through holes on the blade and are locked in the mounting groove of the mounting part. The discharge hole is located on the side of the mounting part and along the length of the mounting part. The cutting edge of the blade is located on the side near the discharge hole.
[0009] Multiple mounting sections are circumferentially arranged on the base, with the bearing surface of each section lower than the base's reference surface. This design provides a stable and recessed mounting foundation for the blades, enhancing the overall structural compactness. The mounting sections have internally threaded mounting grooves, and the blades have multiple through holes. External fasteners pass through these through holes and lock into the mounting grooves, ensuring a secure connection between the blades and the mounting sections. This effectively prevents the blades from loosening during peeling, guaranteeing peeling accuracy and quality. Simultaneously, the discharge hole is located on the side of the mounting section and extends along its length, with the blade's cutting edge close to the discharge hole. This allows fruit peel waste generated during peeling to smoothly slide down the cutting edge to the discharge hole and fall into the lower chamber, preventing peel accumulation around the blades and affecting the peeling effect. This ensures efficient and continuous peeling and facilitates subsequent waste removal, improving the equipment's practicality and convenience.
[0010] The guiding assembly includes a first circular part and an arc-shaped guiding plate integrally formed with the first circular part. The inner cavity of the housing is conical. The guiding assembly is housed in the inner cavity of the housing via the first circular part. The arc-shaped guiding plate is located above the base. The distance between one end of the arc-shaped guiding plate and the inner wall of the housing is less than the distance between the other end of the arc-shaped guiding plate and the inner wall of the housing. During the operation of the peeling machine, the drive motor drives the shaft to rotate, thereby rotating the fruit to be peeled placed on the peeling unit. The arc-shaped guiding plate abuts against the surface of the fruit to be peeled, causing the fruit to be peeled to gather towards the center of the peeling unit.
[0011] The guide assembly consists of a first circular ring and an integrally formed arc-shaped guide plate. The first circular ring secures the guide assembly within the housing, and the arc-shaped guide plate is precisely positioned above the base. During operation, the drive motor rotates the shaft, causing the fruit to be peeled on the peeling unit to rotate as well. At this time, the arc-shaped guide plate is in close contact with the surface of the fruit, and its unique arc-shaped structure continuously and evenly applies a force concentrated towards the center of the peeling unit. This design effectively prevents the fruit from deviating from the peeling center area due to centrifugal force and other factors during rotation, ensuring that all parts of the fruit fully and evenly contact the blade. This significantly improves the integrity and uniformity of peeling, reduces dead angles, and makes the peeling process more efficient and precise, while also enhancing the quality and aesthetics of the final peeled result.
[0012] The arc-shaped guide plate includes a first arc-shaped plate, a second arc-shaped plate connected to the first arc-shaped plate, and a bent plate connected to the other end of the second arc-shaped plate. The first arc-shaped plate and the bent plate are located on the same side of the second arc-shaped plate. The first arc-shaped plate and the bent plate are both located between the second arc-shaped plate and the inner wall of the housing. The distance between one end of the second arc-shaped plate and the inner wall of the housing is less than the distance between the other end of the second arc-shaped plate and the inner wall of the housing. The fruit to be peeled comes into contact with the first arc-shaped plate and the second arc-shaped plate in sequence.
[0013] The bending plate and the second arc plate form a first included angle. The first arc plate, the second arc plate and the bending plate together divide the upper chamber into a stirring chamber and a clearance chamber. The clearance chamber is located outside the arc guide plate. When the drive motor stops, the bending plate abuts against the peeled fruit to prevent the peeled fruit from moving backward into the clearance chamber.
[0014] The curved guide plate, with its first and bent plates located on the same side of the second curved plate and positioned between the second curved plate and the inner wall of the housing, and its design where the distance between one end of the second curved plate and the inner wall of the housing is smaller than that between the other end, offers significant advantages: Firstly, the sequential contact of the first and second curved plates, combined with the non-equidistant inner wall design of the second curved plate, continuously guides the fruit to be peeled towards the center of the peeling unit, preventing the fruit from deviating from the peeling area due to centrifugal force and ensuring even and complete peeling. Secondly, the bent plate prevents the peeled fruit from reversing when the motor stops. The movement also allows for the rational planning of the upper chamber space by utilizing the positional layout of the three components and the inner wall of the housing, thus avoiding interference between the components and the housing. In specific implementation, the guide assembly is installed inside the housing through the first ring, so that the arc-shaped guide plate is located above the base. After placing the fruit to be peeled (such as an apple) in the housing, the drive motor is started. The apple rotates with the peeling unit and contacts the first arc plate and the second arc plate in sequence. Under the structural action of the second arc plate, which is close to the inner wall at one end and far from the inner wall at the other end, the apple is smoothly guided to the center. After the motor stops, the bending plate contacts the apple to prevent it from sliding into the avoidance chamber.
[0015] The bending plate and the second arc-shaped plate form a first angle, and together they divide the upper chamber into a stirring chamber and a clearance chamber, with the clearance chamber located on the outer side. This partitioning design rationally plans the fruit's movement space, with the stirring chamber serving as the main peeling area, ensuring efficient peeling. When the drive motor stops, the bending plate contacts the peeled fruit, effectively preventing the fruit from moving backward into the clearance chamber, avoiding secondary contamination of the peeled fruit or affecting subsequent operations, and allowing users to easily remove the peeled fruit, thus improving the convenience and hygiene of the equipment.
[0016] The first annular portion includes an annular portion and multiple sets of guide ribs disposed on the inner side of the annular portion; an arc-shaped guide plate is disposed below the annular portion, and multiple sets of guide ribs are arranged around the central axis of the annular portion. The guide ribs extend radially along the annular portion. When the cover is placed on the housing, the inner side of the cover abuts against the guide ribs to automatically correct the installation position of the guide assembly.
[0017] The guide rib is provided with an arc-shaped guide part, which abuts against the inner side of the cover.
[0018] The housing is provided with multiple convex ribs, which protrude from the inner wall of the housing and extend along the central axis of the housing. The convex ribs are used to block the guide components.
[0019] The convex ribs precisely stop the guide assembly, preventing it from rotating circumferentially or shifting axially due to equipment vibration or fruit collision during peeling machine operation. This ensures the guide assembly remains in its preset working position, guaranteeing stable guidance of the fruit. The convex ribs also enhance the structural strength of the inner wall of the housing, reducing deformation caused by long-term use and extending the equipment's lifespan. In practice, when installing the guide assembly, the first ring portion is placed into the housing, with its outer wall abutting against the convex ribs. The convex ribs, through their structure, stop and limit the guide assembly, preventing positional shift during the operation of the peeling unit driven by the motor and the rotation of the fruit. This ensures the arc-shaped guide plate maintains stable contact with the fruit and guides it towards the center of the peeling unit.
[0020] The coordinated operation of the first annular section and the arc-shaped guide plate significantly improves the installation accuracy and operational stability of the equipment. Specifically, the first annular section consists of an annular portion and multiple sets of guide ribs disposed on its inner side, while the arc-shaped guide plate is installed below the annular portion. The guide ribs are equidistantly arranged circumferentially on the inner side of the annular portion and extend axially along the annular portion. When the cover is placed on the housing, the inner side of the cover abuts against the guide ribs. Utilizing the regular arrangement and precise positioning of the guide ribs, the installation position of the guide component can be automatically corrected, ensuring that the guide component is accurately positioned within the housing, avoiding problems such as guide function failure or poor peeling effect caused by installation deviations. The arc-shaped guide portion specially designed on the guide ribs, when abutting against the inner side of the cover, can further guide the cover to close smoothly and accurately through its smooth curved surface structure, reducing friction and jamming during the closing process and making the installation process smoother. Meanwhile, the arc-shaped guide section can also enhance the contact stability between the guide ribs and the cover after the cover is closed, improve the overall structural stability, provide a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the peeler, thereby improving peeling efficiency and quality and optimizing the user experience.
[0021] The top of the cover is provided with a receiving part for accommodating the drive motor and a limiting protrusion provided in the receiving part; the shaft hole is located in the middle of the receiving part, and a receiving groove is opened in the receiving part, with the limiting protrusions circumferentially distributed on the inner wall of the receiving groove; multiple sets of limiting grooves are circumferentially provided on the side of the drive motor near the receiving shell, and after the drive motor is embedded in the receiving groove, the limiting protrusions and the limiting grooves are engaged one by one to achieve axial limiting.
[0022] The top of the cover features a dedicated housing for the drive motor, with a shaft hole cleverly positioned in the center to provide a precise channel for the connection between the shaft and the drive motor. The housing contains a recessed groove with circumferentially distributed limiting protrusions on its inner wall. Simultaneously, multiple limiting slots are positioned on the side of the drive motor closest to the housing. During installation, the drive motor is inserted into the recessed groove, where the limiting protrusions and slots precisely engage. This design effectively restricts the axial movement of the drive motor, preventing axial slippage due to vibration during operation and preventing radial wobble. This ensures stable power output from the drive motor and avoids transmission failures or poor peeling effects caused by motor displacement. Furthermore, this snap-fit method facilitates installation without complex tools or procedures, significantly improving assembly efficiency and facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the drive motor, thus enhancing the overall practicality and maintainability of the equipment.
[0023] The base also includes an auxiliary component located on the side of the blade. The length direction of the auxiliary component is the same as that of the blade. The auxiliary component has an arc-shaped convex surface. The fruit to be peeled rolls over when it comes into contact with the arc-shaped convex surface during the rotation of the base.
[0024] An auxiliary component, with a curved convex surface, is positioned on the side of the blade on the base, running parallel to the blade's length. During operation of the peeler, as the base rotates and the fruit to be peeled spins, the fruit comes into contact with this curved convex surface. Due to the special angle design of this surface, the fruit experiences a force that causes it to tumble upon contact, constantly changing its posture and position during rotation, significantly increasing the number of tumbles. This frequent tumbling ensures that all parts of the fruit make fuller and more even contact with the blade, effectively reducing blind spots and ensuring the fruit's skin is completely and thoroughly removed. This greatly improves the integrity and uniformity of the peeling, resulting in a superior peeling effect, enhancing the user experience and the product's practicality.
[0025] The cover includes a cover portion and a sealing ring disposed on the cover portion. The sealing ring is disposed on the side of the cover portion near the housing, and the sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the housing and against the guide assembly.
[0026] The lid consists of a closing part and a sealing ring positioned precisely on the side of the closing part closest to the housing. When the lid is closed on the housing, the sealing ring tightly abuts against the inner wall of the housing, forming a reliable sealing barrier. This effectively prevents external dust and impurities from entering the housing, avoiding contamination or damage to key components such as the peeling and guiding components, ensuring a clean internal environment, and extending the equipment's lifespan. Simultaneously, the sealing ring also abuts against the guiding components, further enhancing the sealing effect and ensuring that fruit juice and other liquids do not leak from the connection between the lid and the housing / guiding components during peeling, keeping the exterior of the equipment clean and reducing cleaning workload. This design allows the peeler to operate stably in various operating environments, improving the equipment's reliability and practicality, and providing users with a more convenient and efficient user experience.
[0027] The first angle is 90°-180°, which broadens the range of fruits it can adapt to. A small angle of 90°-120° adapts to small, hard fruits such as plums and cherry tomatoes; a medium angle of 120°-150° is compatible with over 90% of common fruits such as apples and pears; and a large angle of 150°-180° adapts to large, soft fruits such as grapefruits and large watermelon chunks, breaking the limitations of a fixed angle on fruit types. It also adapts to various usage scenarios, with a medium angle of 135° meeting the convenient and universal needs of home use. The adjustable angle structure can meet the diverse processing needs of commercial scenarios. The large angle of 150°-180° can be customized to adapt to the batch processing needs of special scenarios. It can also optimize structural performance, covering the common bending angle to reduce processing difficulty and cost. The reasonable stress distribution at different angles improves structural durability and avoids fruit jamming or slipping, thus optimizing the user experience. In addition, compared with a fixed single angle, this range makes up for the shortcomings of small angles not being able to accommodate large fruits and large angles having poor limiting and guiding effects by covering intervals, ensuring stable peeling effect and continuous process.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the base and shaft of the peeling assembly are integrally formed, the blade is securely installed, and the discharge hole design facilitates the separation of fruit peel waste; the guide assembly, with its unique arc-shaped structure and reasonably divided chambers, ensures uniform peeling of the fruit and prevents reverse movement; the guiding ribs and arc-shaped guide of the first ring ensure installation accuracy and stability; the snap-fit between the cover housing and the drive motor achieves stable positioning and facilitates disassembly and assembly; the arc-shaped convex surface of the base auxiliary component increases the number of times the fruit is tumbled, improving the completeness of peeling; the sealing ring of the cover enhances sealing performance and prevents contamination and leakage. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, and the synergistic effect of each component makes the peeling process efficient, uniform, and hygienic, improving the practicality, reliability, and user experience of the equipment.

[0040] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 9As shown, this utility model discloses an improved portable peeler, which includes a housing 1, a peeling assembly 2 disposed within the housing 1, a guide assembly 3, a cover 4 covering the housing 1, and a drive motor 5. The cover 4 has a shaft hole 6. The peeling assembly 2 includes a peeling unit 7 and a shaft 8 disposed on the peeling unit 7. One end of the shaft 8 is rotatably engaged with the housing 1, and the other end of the shaft 8 protrudes from the shaft hole 6 and is connected to the drive motor 5. When the fruit to be peeled is placed into the housing 1, the drive motor 5 drives the shaft 8 to rotate, thereby rotating the peeling unit 7 to peel the fruit. During the peeling process, the guide assembly 3 guides the fruit to be peeled toward the center of the peeling unit 7.
[0042] The peeling component 2 and the guide component 3 are sequentially housed within the housing 1. A cover 4 is placed over the housing 1, with a shaft hole 6 on its upper part allowing the shaft 8 of the peeling component 2 to extend and connect to the drive motor 5. In use, the fruit to be peeled is placed inside the housing 1, and the drive motor 5 is started to rotate the shaft 8, thereby causing the peeling unit 7 to rotate and peel. During this process, the guide component 3 continuously guides the fruit towards the center of the peeling unit 7, ensuring that all parts of the fruit are evenly in contact with the peeling unit 7, improving the uniformity and integrity of the peeling. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, and the operation is convenient, meeting the needs for efficient and convenient fruit peeling.
[0043] The peeling assembly 2 includes a base 9 and multiple sets of blades 11 disposed on the base 9. The base 9 is integrally formed with the shaft 8. The lower end of the shaft 8 is detachably rotatably engaged with the bottom of the housing 1. The base 9 divides the housing 1 into an upper chamber 12 and a lower chamber 13. The base 9 is provided with multiple sets of discharge holes 14. The blades 11 are located on the side of the discharge holes 14. The upper chamber 12 and the lower chamber 13 are connected through the discharge holes 14. The fruit to be peeled is placed on the upper chamber 12. The fruit peel waste generated during the peeling process falls into the lower chamber 13 through the discharge holes 14.
[0044] In use, the fruit to be peeled is placed in the upper chamber 12, and the drive motor 5 is started to rotate the shaft 8 and the base 9, which in turn causes the blade 11 to rotate for peeling. During the peeling process, the fruit peel waste can fall naturally into the lower chamber 13 through the discharge hole 14 along the inclined or specially designed structure, effectively separating the peel from the fruit to be peeled, avoiding the accumulation of peel that affects the peeling effect, and facilitating the subsequent centralized cleaning of fruit peel waste, making the entire peeling process more efficient, hygienic and convenient.
[0045] The base 9 is circumferentially provided with multiple sets of mounting parts 15. The bearing surface of the mounting part 15 is lower than the reference surface of the base 9. The blade 11 is attached and pressed on the bearing surface of the mounting part 15. Multiple sets of mounting grooves 16 with internal threads are opened on the mounting part 15. Multiple sets of through holes 17 are provided on the blade 11. External fasteners pass through the through holes 17 on the blade 11 and are locked in the mounting grooves 16 of the mounting part 15. The discharge hole 14 is provided on the side of the mounting part 15 and is arranged along the length direction of the mounting part 15. The cutting edge of the blade 11 is located on the side close to the discharge hole 14.
[0046] Multiple mounting sections 15 are circumferentially arranged on the base 9, with the bearing surface of the mounting section 15 lower than the reference surface of the base 9. This design provides a stable and recessed mounting base for the blade 11, enhancing the overall structural compactness. The mounting section 15 has a mounting groove 16 with internal threads, and the blade 11 has multiple through holes 17. External fasteners pass through the through holes 17 and lock into the mounting groove 16, achieving a secure connection between the blade 11 and the mounting section 15. This effectively prevents the blade 11 from loosening during peeling, ensuring peeling accuracy and quality. Simultaneously, the discharge hole 14 is located on the side of the mounting section 15 and extends along its length. The cutting edge of the blade 11 is close to the discharge hole 14, allowing fruit peel waste generated during peeling to smoothly slide down the cutting edge to the discharge hole 14 and fall into the lower chamber 13. This prevents fruit peel from accumulating around the blade 11 and affecting the peeling effect, ensuring efficient and continuous peeling, and facilitating subsequent waste removal, thus improving the practicality and convenience of the equipment.
[0047] The guide assembly 3 includes a first annular portion 18 and an arc-shaped guide plate 19 integrally formed with the first annular portion 18. The inner cavity of the housing 1 is conical. The guide assembly 3 is housed in the inner cavity of the housing 1 via the first annular portion 18. The arc-shaped guide plate 19 is located above the base 9. The distance between one end of the arc-shaped guide plate 19 and the inner wall of the housing 1 is less than the distance between the other end of the arc-shaped guide plate 19 and the inner wall of the housing 1. During the operation of the peeler, the drive motor 5 drives the shaft body 8 to rotate, thereby rotating the fruit to be peeled placed on the peeling unit 7. The arc-shaped guide plate 19 abuts against the surface of the fruit to be peeled, causing the fruit to be peeled to gather towards the center of the peeling unit 7.
[0048] The guide assembly 3 consists of a first annular portion 18 and an integrally formed arc-shaped guide plate 19. The first annular portion 18 securely houses the guide assembly 3 within the housing 1, and the arc-shaped guide plate 19 is precisely positioned above the base 9. During the operation of the peeler, the drive motor 5 drives the shaft component 8 to rotate, thereby causing the fruit to be peeled placed on the peeling unit 7 to rotate accordingly. At this time, the arc-shaped guide plate 19 is in close contact with the surface of the fruit to be peeled. Due to its unique arc-shaped structure, it can continuously and evenly apply a force that converges towards the center of the peeling unit 7. This design effectively prevents the fruit from deviating from the peeling center area due to centrifugal force and other factors during rotation, ensuring that all parts of the fruit can fully and evenly contact the blade 11, greatly improving the integrity and uniformity of peeling, reducing peeling dead angles, making the peeling process more efficient and precise, and improving the quality and aesthetics of the final peeled result.
[0049] The arc-shaped guide plate 19 includes a first arc-shaped plate 21, a second arc-shaped plate 22 connected to the first arc-shaped plate 21, and a bent plate 23 connected to the other end of the second arc-shaped plate 22. The first arc-shaped plate 21 and the bent plate 23 are located on the same side of the second arc-shaped plate 22. The first arc-shaped plate 21 and the bent plate 23 are both located between the second arc-shaped plate 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1. The distance between one end of the second arc-shaped plate 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1 is less than the distance between the other end of the second arc-shaped plate 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1. The fruit to be peeled comes into contact with the first arc-shaped plate 21 and the second arc-shaped plate 22 in sequence.
[0050] The bending plate 23 and the second arc plate 22 form a first included angle 24. The first arc plate 21, the second arc plate 22 and the bending plate 23 together divide the upper chamber 12 into a stirring chamber 25 and a clearance chamber 26. The clearance chamber 26 is located outside the arc guide plate 19. When the drive motor 5 stops, the bending plate 23 abuts against the peeled fruit to prevent the peeled fruit from moving backward into the clearance chamber 26.
[0051] In the arc-shaped guide plate 19, the first arc-shaped plate 21 and the bent plate 23 are located on the same side of the second arc-shaped plate 22 and are both between the second arc-shaped plate 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1. At the same time, the structural design that the distance between one end of the second arc-shaped plate 22 and the inner wall of the housing 1 is smaller than that between the other end has significant beneficial effects: it can continuously guide the fruit to be peeled towards the center of the peeling unit 7 through the sequential contact of the first arc-shaped plate 21 and the second arc-shaped plate 22, combined with the non-equidistant inner wall design of the second arc-shaped plate 22, to prevent the fruit from deviating from the peeling area due to centrifugal force, thus ensuring uniform and complete peeling. It can also use the bent plate 23 to block the peeled fruit when the motor stops. Reverse movement can also utilize the positional layout of the three components and the inner wall of the housing 1 to rationally plan the space of the upper chamber 12 and avoid interference between the components and the housing. In specific implementation, the guide component 3 is installed in the housing through the first ring part 18, so that the arc-shaped guide plate 19 is located above the base 9. After the fruit to be peeled (such as an apple) is placed in, the drive motor 5 is started. The apple rotates with the peeling unit 7 and contacts the first arc plate 21 and the second arc plate 22 in sequence. Under the structural action of the second arc plate 22 with one end close to the inner wall and the other end far from the inner wall, it is smoothly guided to the center. After the motor stops, the bending plate 23 contacts the apple to prevent it from sliding into the avoidance chamber 26.
[0052] The bending plate 23 and the second arc-shaped plate 22 form a first included angle 24, which together divide the upper chamber 12 into a stirring chamber 25 and a clearance chamber 26, with the clearance chamber located on the outer side. This partitioning design rationally plans the fruit movement space, with the stirring chamber 25 serving as the main peeling area, ensuring efficient peeling. When the drive motor 5 stops, the bending plate 23 comes into contact with the peeled fruit, effectively preventing the fruit from moving backward into the clearance chamber 26, avoiding secondary contamination of the peeled fruit or affecting subsequent operations, and allowing users to directly remove the peeled fruit, thus improving the convenience and hygiene of the equipment.
[0053] The first annular portion 18 includes an annular portion 27 and multiple sets of guide ribs 28 disposed on the inner side of the annular portion 27; an arc-shaped guide plate 19 is disposed below the annular portion 27, and the multiple sets of guide ribs 28 are arranged around the central axis of the annular portion 27. The guide ribs 28 extend radially along the annular portion 27. When the cover 4 is placed on the housing 1, the inner side of the cover 4 abuts against the guide ribs 28 to automatically correct the installation position of the guide assembly 3.
[0054] The guide rib 28 is provided with an arc-shaped guide part 29, which abuts against the inner side of the cover 4.
[0055] The housing 1 is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs 100, which protrude from the inner wall of the housing 1 and extend along the central axis of the housing 1. The protruding ribs 100 are used to block the guide assembly 3.
[0056] The convex rib 100 precisely stops the guide component 3, preventing it from rotating circumferentially or shifting axially due to equipment vibration or fruit collision during peeling machine operation. This ensures the guide component 3 remains in its preset working position, guaranteeing stable guidance of the fruit. The convex rib 100 also strengthens the inner wall structure of the housing 1, reducing deformation caused by long-term use and extending the equipment's lifespan. Specifically, when installing the guide component 3, the first ring portion 18 is placed inside the housing 1, with its outer wall abutting against the convex rib 100. The convex rib 100, through its structure, stops and limits the guide component 3, preventing positional shift during the operation of the peeling unit 7 driven by the drive motor 5 and the fruit's rotation and collision with the guide component 3. This ensures the arc-shaped guide plate 19 maintains stable contact with the fruit and guides it towards the center of the peeling unit 7.
[0057] The coordinated operation of the first annular portion 18 and the arc-shaped guide plate 19 significantly improves the installation accuracy and operational stability of the equipment. Specifically, the first annular portion 18 consists of an annular portion 27 and multiple sets of guide ribs 28 disposed on its inner side, while the arc-shaped guide plate 19 is installed below the annular portion 27. The guide ribs 28 are equidistantly arranged circumferentially on the inner side of the annular portion 27 and extend axially along the annular portion 27. When the cover 4 is closed on the housing 1, the inner side of the cover 4 abuts against the guide ribs 28. Utilizing the regular arrangement and precise positioning of the guide ribs 28, the installation position of the guide assembly 3 can be automatically corrected, ensuring that the guide assembly 3 is accurately positioned within the housing 1, avoiding problems such as guide function failure or poor peeling effect caused by installation deviation. The specially designed arc-shaped guide portion 29 on the guide rib 28, when in contact with the inner side of the cover 4, guides the cover 4 to close smoothly and accurately through its smooth curved surface structure, reducing friction and jamming during the closing process and making the installation process smoother. At the same time, the arc-shaped guide portion 29 also enhances the contact stability between the guide rib 28 and the cover 4 after the cover 4 is closed, improving the overall structural stability and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the peeler, thereby improving peeling efficiency and quality and optimizing the user experience.
[0058] The top of the cover 4 is provided with a receiving part 31 for accommodating the drive motor 5 and a limiting protrusion 32 disposed in the receiving part 31; the shaft hole 6 is disposed in the middle of the receiving part 31, and a receiving groove 33 is opened in the receiving part 31. The limiting protrusion 32 is circumferentially distributed on the inner wall of the receiving groove 33; the drive motor 5 is provided with multiple sets of limiting grooves circumferentially on the side near the receiving shell 1. After the drive motor 5 is embedded in the receiving groove 33, the limiting protrusion 32 and the limiting groove are engaged one by one to achieve axial limiting.
[0059] The top of the cover 4 has a dedicated receiving portion 31 for accommodating the drive motor 5. The shaft hole 6 is cleverly positioned in the center of the receiving portion 31, providing a precise channel for the connection between the shaft component 8 and the drive motor 5. A receiving groove 33 is formed within the receiving portion 31, and circumferentially distributed limiting protrusions 32 are provided on its inner wall. Simultaneously, multiple sets of limiting grooves are correspondingly provided on the side of the drive motor 5 closest to the receiving housing 1. During installation, the drive motor 5 is embedded into the receiving groove 33. At this time, the limiting protrusions 32 and the limiting grooves precisely engage. This design effectively restricts the axial movement of the drive motor 5, preventing axial movement due to vibration during operation and preventing radial wobbling. This ensures stable power output from the drive motor 5 and avoids transmission failures or poor peeling effects caused by motor displacement. Furthermore, this snap-fit method is convenient to install, requiring no complex tools or operating procedures, greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the equipment. It also facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the drive motor 5, enhancing the overall practicality and maintainability of the equipment.
[0060] The base 9 also includes an auxiliary component 34 disposed on the side of the blade 11. The length direction of the auxiliary component 34 is the same as the length direction of the blade 11. The auxiliary component 34 is provided with an arc-shaped convex surface 35. The fruit to be peeled rolls over by contacting the arc-shaped convex surface 35 during the rotation of the base 9.
[0061] An auxiliary component 34, with the same length direction as the blade 11, is provided on the side of the base 9. This auxiliary component 34 features a carefully designed arc-shaped convex surface 35. During the operation of the peeler and the rotation of the base 9 causing the fruit to be peeled to rotate, the fruit will come into contact with the arc-shaped convex surface 35 on the auxiliary component 34. Due to the special angle design of the arc-shaped convex surface 35, when the fruit contacts the guide surface, it experiences a force that causes the fruit to tumble, resulting in the fruit constantly changing its posture and position during rotation, thus significantly increasing the number of tumbling cycles. This frequent tumbling allows all parts of the fruit to make more thorough and even contact with the blade 11, effectively reducing peeling dead angles and ensuring that the fruit peel is completely and thoroughly removed. This greatly improves the integrity and uniformity of peeling, ultimately achieving a higher quality peeling effect, enhancing the user experience and the product's practicality.
[0062] The cover 4 includes a cover portion 36 and a sealing ring 37 disposed on the cover portion 36. The sealing ring 37 is disposed on the side of the cover portion 36 near the housing 1. The sealing ring 37 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1 and against the guide assembly 3.
[0063] The cover 4 consists of a closing part 36 and a sealing ring 37 disposed thereon. The sealing ring 37 is precisely positioned on the side of the closing part 36 closest to the housing 1. When the cover 4 is closed on the housing 1, the sealing ring 37 can tightly abut against the inner wall of the housing 1, forming a reliable sealing barrier. This effectively prevents external dust, impurities, etc., from entering the interior of the housing 1, avoiding contamination or damage to key components such as the peeling component 2 and the guide component 3, ensuring a clean internal environment and extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the sealing ring 37 also abuts against the guide component 3, further enhancing the sealing effect and ensuring that during the peeling process, fruit juice and other liquids will not leak from the connection between the cover 4 and the housing 1 and the guide component 3, keeping the exterior of the equipment clean and reducing cleaning workload. This design allows the peeler to operate stably in various operating environments, improving the reliability and practicality of the equipment and bringing users a more convenient and efficient user experience.
[0064] The first angle 24 is 90°-180°, which broadens the range of fruits it can adapt to. A small angle of 90°-120° adapts to small, hard fruits such as plums and cherry tomatoes; a medium angle of 120°-150° is compatible with over 90% of common fruits such as apples and pears; and a large angle of 150°-180° adapts to large, soft fruits such as grapefruits and large watermelon chunks, breaking the limitations of fixed angles on fruit types. It also adapts to various usage scenarios, with a medium angle of 135° meeting the convenient and universal needs of home use. The adjustable angle structure can meet the multi-category processing needs of commercial scenarios. The large angle of 150°-180° can be customized to adapt to the batch processing needs of special scenarios. It can also optimize the structural performance, covering the conventional bending angle to reduce processing difficulty and cost. The reasonable stress distribution at different angles improves the structural durability and avoids fruit jamming or slipping, thus optimizing the user experience. In addition, compared with a fixed single angle, this range makes up for the shortcomings of small angles not being able to accommodate large fruits and large angles having poor limiting and guiding effects by covering intervals, ensuring stable peeling effect and continuous process.
