Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to sugarcane peeling and cutting equipment, specifically a sugarcane peeling, cutting, and washing integrated machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sugarcane, a widely cultivated economic crop, is traditionally processed primarily by hand. This is not only inefficient and unable to meet the demands of large-scale production or batch processing, but also extremely labor-intensive. Furthermore, the peeling effect is easily affected by human experience, resulting in uneven peeling and high raw material loss. In recent years, some sugarcane peeling machines have appeared on the market. For example, invention patent CN113826917A discloses a novel sugarcane peeling machine, which includes a frame, a peeling blade mounted on the frame, and a drive mechanism. The peeling blade slides on the frame via rollers, and the drive mechanism drives the reciprocating sliding of the peeling blade to peel the sugarcane. However, this device uses rollers, which have low precision and are prone to deviation during movement, affecting the peeling effect. In addition, the device lacks a cutting mechanism, making it inconvenient to handle long pieces of peeled sugarcane, still requiring manual cutting.

[0003] Another utility model patent, CN220235954U, also discloses a sugarcane peeling machine, mainly comprising a frame, a feed inlet, a cutting mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The cutting mechanism consists of a fixed disc, a guide rod, and multiple peeling blades arranged around a through hole in the center of the fixed disc. Its working principle is that the drive mechanism drives the fixed disc and the peeling blades to reciprocate along the guide rod, thus peeling the sugarcane. This equipment has a simple structure and is equipped with a cutting mechanism, but it still has some shortcomings: 1. From the patent… Figure 1 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the fixed plate and the guide rod are connected by a sliding sleeve to achieve precise guidance. However, during the peeling process, a large amount of sugarcane juice splashes, and due to its stickiness, it adheres to the guide rod, affecting the smooth sliding of the cutting mechanism; 2. The cutting device of this apparatus is only set to a single fixed length, according to the patent. Figure 5 It can be seen that the device uses a rotating cutting blade for cutting, requiring manual control of the cutting length by the operator, resulting in uneven lengths of the cut sugarcane segments; 3. The device cannot clean the sugarcane or the device itself. Sugarcane scraps easily adhere to the peeled sugarcane, affecting the taste. In addition, sugarcane scraps fall onto the frame during peeling and cannot be cleaned. If the sugarcane scraps are not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the appearance but also attract flies and other insects, affecting hygiene. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and provide an integrated machine for peeling, cutting and washing sugarcane.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sugarcane peeling, cutting, and washing integrated machine, comprising a frame, a clamping mechanism fixed at both ends of the frame, a guide shaft fixed on both sides of the frame, a blade holder slidably mounted on the guide shaft, a peeling knife mechanism mounted on the blade holder, and a driving mechanism for driving the blade holder to move back and forth. The two end plates of the blade holder are provided with sliding sleeves corresponding to the guide shafts, and a telescopic protective sleeve is sleeved on the guide shafts. The two ends of the telescopic protective sleeve are respectively fixedly installed together with the side walls of the end plates of the frame and the blade holder, so that the outer end of the sliding sleeve is covered inside the telescopic protective sleeve.

[0006] A fixed protective sleeve is fitted onto the guide shaft between the two end plates of the tool holder. The two ends of the fixed protective sleeve are fixedly installed together with the inner walls of the two end plates of the tool holder, so that the inner end of the sliding sleeve is covered inside the fixed protective sleeve.

[0007] The rear end of the frame is provided with a discharge port. Cleaning brush one and cleaning brush two are respectively provided inside and on the rear side of the discharge port. Cleaning brush one is ring-shaped and fixed inside the discharge port. There are two cleaning brushes two in total. They are roller-shaped and are rotatably arranged on the outside of the discharge port. A cutting mechanism and a cleaning mechanism are provided on the rear side of cleaning brush two.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic protective sleeve is made of plastic or silicone.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed protective sleeve is made of stainless steel.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a drive rod, and a connecting rod. One end of the drive rod is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the other end is hinged to one end of the connecting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two cutting mechanisms, located on both sides of the frame, and the distance between the upper and lower spiral blades in the cutting mechanism is different.

[0013] Furthermore, sprockets are provided on the output shaft of the drive motor and the central shaft of the cutting blade, and the same chain is sleeved on the three sprockets.

[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes hoses and a spray gun. The spray gun is a dual-purpose air and water gun, with two hoses connected to it for supplying air and water respectively. The two hoses are connected to a compressed air pump and a water tank.

[0015] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided between the two clamping mechanisms, and the protective cover is detachably connected to the frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The blade holder and guide shaft of this utility model adopt a sliding sleeve fit, which has high fitting precision, ensuring stable movement of the peeling knife mechanism, excellent peeling effect, and uniform peeling thickness. A telescopic protective sleeve is provided on the guide shaft, and a fixed protective sleeve is installed between the two end plates of the blade holder, achieving all-round protection for the guide shaft and sliding sleeve, effectively preventing the peeling knife mechanism from moving poorly due to sugarcane juice splashing.

[0017] This device is equipped with two cutting mechanisms, one for longer sugarcane segments and the other for shorter segments, to meet diverse customer cutting needs.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The clamping mechanism 2 in the sugarcane peeling, cutting and washing integrated machine of this utility model has the same structure as the inlet mechanism structure of the sugarcane peeling machine disclosed in the utility model patent with patent number CN221813142U; the blade holder 3 and the peeling blade mechanism 5 have the same structure as the peeling blade part in the invention patent with patent number CN113826917A mentioned in the background art. The above structures are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] Embodiments of this utility model: such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a sugarcane peeling, cutting, and washing machine is integrated.

[0028] The device includes a frame 1, a clamping mechanism 2 fixed at both ends of the frame 1, a guide shaft 3 fixed on both sides of the frame 1, a knife holder 4 slidably mounted on the guide shaft 3, a peeling knife mechanism 5 mounted on the knife holder 4, and a drive mechanism 6 for driving the knife holder 4 to move back and forth. The two end plates of the knife holder 4 are provided with sliding sleeves 7 corresponding to the guide shaft 3. A telescopic protective sleeve 8 is sleeved on the guide shaft 3. The two ends of the telescopic protective sleeve 8 are fixedly installed together with the side walls of the end plates of the frame 1 and the knife holder 4, respectively, so that the outer end of the sliding sleeve 7 is covered inside the telescopic protective sleeve 8.

[0029] A fixed protective sleeve 9 is sleeved on the guide shaft 3 between the two end plates of the tool holder 4. The two ends of the fixed protective sleeve 9 are fixedly installed together with the inner walls of the two end plates of the tool holder 4, so that the inner end of the sliding sleeve 7 is covered inside the fixed protective sleeve 9.

[0030] The frame 1 is provided with a discharge port 10 at its tail end. Cleaning brush 11 and cleaning brush 2 12 are respectively provided inside and on the rear side of the discharge port 10. The cleaning brush 11 is annular and fixed inside the discharge port 10. There are two cleaning brushes 2 12, which are cylindrical and are rotatably arranged on the outside of the discharge port 10. A cutting mechanism and a cleaning mechanism are provided on the rear side of the cleaning brush 2 12.

[0031] It is worth noting that the knife holder 4 includes multiple equally spaced plates, a bottom connecting plate for connecting the multiple plates, and connecting rods located at the four corners of the plates. Each plate is equipped with a set of peeling knife mechanisms 5. The two plates at both ends protrude outward from the middle, and the sliding sleeve 7 is located at this protruding position.

[0032] The telescopic protective sleeve 8 is made of plastic or silicone.

[0033] The fixed protective sleeve 9 is made of stainless steel.

[0034] Through the above structure, during the back-and-forth movement of the knife holder, the telescopic protective sleeve 8 continuously extends and retracts to protect the guide shaft 3 outside the knife holder 4, and the fixed protective sleeve 9 protects the corresponding guide shaft 3 inside the knife holder 4, thereby preventing sugarcane juice from splashing onto the guide shaft 3 and increasing the sliding resistance of the knife holder; the setting of cleaning brush one 11 allows the sugarcane to be initially cleaned when it passes through it, and the rotation of cleaning brush two 12 further cleans the sugarcane, preventing the adhesion of debris from affecting the taste of the sugarcane; the cutting mechanism can cut the peeled sugarcane for easy handling; the setting of the cleaning mechanism allows the device to be cleaned after each use, preventing bacterial growth and attracting flies and insects, and shortening the cleaning interval in summer.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 13, a drive rod 14 and a connecting rod 15. One end of the drive rod 14 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 13, and the other end is hinged to one end of the connecting rod 15. The other end of the connecting rod 15 is hinged to the bottom of the tool holder 4.

[0036] With the above structure, the drive motor 13 drives the drive rod 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 15 to rotate, thereby pulling the knife holder 4 to move back and forth to peel.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the cutting mechanism includes a limiting cylinder 16 and a cutting blade 22. The limiting cylinder 16 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the cutting blade 22 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the limiting cylinder 16. The cutting blade 22 includes two spiral blades that are distributed vertically and staggered from each other.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, there are two cutting mechanisms, located on both sides of the frame 1, and the two spiral blades in the cutting mechanism are spaced at different distances. The distances are 3 cm and 15 cm, respectively, for cutting short segments and long segments.

[0039] With the above structure, because the two spiral blades are staggered, when the peeled sugarcane is placed into the limiting cylinder 16, its bottom will contact either the upper or lower spiral blade. If the sugarcane is directly received by the lower spiral blade, the upper spiral blade will cut the sugarcane as the cutting blade 22 rotates. If the upper spiral blade blocks the limiting cylinder 16, the sugarcane will be received by the upper spiral blade. As the cutting blade 22 rotates, the upper spiral blade moves away from the limiting cylinder 16, the sugarcane falls, and the cutting blade 22 continues to rotate, thus cutting the sugarcane.

[0040] like Figure 5As shown, sprockets 17 are provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 13 and the central shaft of the cutting blade 22, and the same chain 18 is sleeved on the three sprockets 17.

[0041] With the above structure, the drive motor 13 drives the peeling knife mechanism 5 to move back and forth, while simultaneously driving the cutting knife 22 to rotate and cut.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a hose 19 and a spray gun 20. The spray gun 20 is a dual-purpose air and water gun, with two hoses 19 connected to it for supplying air and water respectively. The two hoses 19 are connected to a compressed air pump and a water tank respectively.

[0043] It is worth noting that hose 19 here is a retractable hose, which is not shown in the figure.

[0044] With the above structure, the spray gun 20 is connected to a water source and an air source via a hose, providing pressurized gas and water for cleaning.

[0045] A protective cover 21 is provided between the two clamping mechanisms 2. The protective cover 21 is detachably connected to the frame 1 (by bolts, which facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the device).

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] The peeling process is as follows: The clamping mechanisms at both ends of the frame 1 firmly hold the sugarcane. Multiple peeling blade mechanisms 5 on the blade holder 4 move synchronously with the blade holder, gradually removing the hard outer skin of the sugarcane through the relative movement of the blades and the sugarcane surface. Under the action of the clamping mechanisms, the sugarcane can only move towards the rear end and cannot move towards the front end. Because the inner side of the arc-shaped plate is equipped with multiple barbed anti-slip textures (see patent: CN221813142U Sugarcane Peeling Machine Inlet Mechanism), when the sugarcane is fed in, the thicker sugarcane sections push the two arc-shaped plates open to the sides, facilitating sugarcane feeding. When the peeling blade mechanism 5 moves towards the inlet end of the device, the sugarcane sections are hooked by the barbed anti-slip textures, preventing the sugarcane from retracting. At this time, the peeling blade mechanism 5 peels the sugarcane.

[0048] During the peeling process, the telescopic protective sleeve 8 extends and retracts with the movement of the knife holder 4, covering the outer guide shaft 3 portion; the fixed protective sleeve 9 covers the inner guide shaft 3 portion of the knife holder. Together, they prevent sugarcane juice produced during peeling from splashing onto the guide shaft 3, prevent the sliding resistance of the sliding sleeve 7 from increasing, and ensure the smooth movement of the knife holder 4.

[0049] Sugarcane cleaning process: As the sugarcane moves toward the rear of the device, cleaning brush 11 performs initial cleaning on the sugarcane, and the rearward movement of the sugarcane causes cleaning brush 2 12 to rotate and further clean the sugarcane.

[0050] Cutting process: The sugarcane is placed into the limiting cylinder 16 of the cutting mechanism, and the bottom of the sugarcane contacts the upper or lower spiral blade. As the spiral blade rotates, the sugarcane falls and is cut.

[0051] Device cleaning process: Connect the spray gun 20 to the water and air sources through the hose. During use, the device can be simply cleaned by spraying air. After use, it can be thoroughly cleaned by spraying water. If there is too much sugarcane peel residue left on the device during use, water can also be sprayed for cleaning.
