Abstract

The present invention enables the simultaneous peeling of multiple fruits at once, thereby minimizing the manpower and time required for peeling operations compared to using a conventional peeler, and thus maximizing productivity in places such as dried persimmon farms where labor supply is difficult and time is tight. When a worker places multiple fruits horizontally on a placement unit (100), the placement unit (100) rotates 90 degrees to fix the fruits to a rotating shaft (200) and returns to its original position. When the rotating shaft (200) rotates while a pressing bar (300) linked to the placement unit (100) supports the fruits fixed to the rotating shaft (200), the peeling unit (400) and the stem removal unit (500) located around the rotating shaft (200) simultaneously remove the peels and stems of the fruits. The peeled peels and stems are discharged toward a peel collection unit (700) by a direction-changing discharge guide (600), and the pressing bar (300) is used for fruit peeling. Just before completion, it retracts, and when the peeling of the fruit is completed, the stem removal unit (500) moves forward to push the peeled fruit out of the rotation axis (200) and separate it, and the peeled fruit falls and is discharged to the fruit collection unit (800) by the discharge guide (600) that has changed direction.

Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention is for peeling fruits such as persimmons, and more specifically, to enable the simultaneous peeling of multiple fruits at once, the placing part, pressing part, rotating shaft, stem removal part, and peeling part are arranged in a multi-row configuration, and the peeled fruit is automatically separated from the stem and peel by a discharge guide and discharged, thereby minimizing the manpower and time required for peeling work compared to using a conventional peeler, so that productivity can be maximized in places such as dried persimmon farms where labor supply is difficult and a large amount of fruit must be peeled in a short period of time. Background Technology

[0003] Conventional technologies related to fruit peelers for peeling persimmons to dry them into dried persimmons or peeling various other fruits such as apples to manufacture and package processed foods include Patent Documents 1 to 4.

[0004] Patent Document 1 is the applicant's prior registered patent, "Fruit Peeling Device," which is designed to peel one fruit at a time. It is a general single-set fruit peeling device equipped with a stem removal section for removing the stem and a peeling section for peeling the skin. A worker can grasp the fruit (persimmon) with their hand, first place the stem against the stem removal section and press to remove the stem, and then insert the persimmon into the rotating shaft of the peeling section. As the rotating shaft rotates, the peeling blade on the outer edge of the rotating shaft rotates to peel the skin and detach the fruit.

[0005] Patent Document 2 is a persimmon processing device equipped with a stem removal foreign matter removal unit that automates the persimmon processing process by continuously performing the process of removing the stem of a persimmon and the process of removing the peel of a persimmon, prevents malfunction of the device by ensuring that various stem removal foreign matter generated during the stem removal process does not get stuck in the stem removal blade, and also improves productivity by enabling the removal of stem removal foreign matter even without removing the protective cover.

[0006] Patent Document 3 relates to a persimmon processing device that automates the persimmon processing process by continuously performing a process of removing the stem of a persimmon and a process of removing the peel of a persimmon, and minimizes damage to the processed persimmon by removing the stem first and then the peel, and improves productivity by processing multiple persimmons simultaneously. The device comprises: a main housing capable of movement and fixation; a stem removal unit positioned on the front side of the main housing to remove the stem of a persimmon; a peeling unit positioned on the inside of the main housing to remove the peel of a persimmon delivered from the stem removal unit; and a discharge unit for discharging the peeled persimmon. The stem removal unit comprises a support conveying unit that supplies the stem-removed persimmon to the peeling unit by rotating in the direction of the peeling unit by a rotary motor, wherein the persimmon is inserted with the stem portion facing upward and is equipped with a plurality of support cups that fix the persimmon using a vacuum, and the stem removal device is equipped with a plurality of stem removal blades for removing the stem of a persimmon and is installed to be vertically movable on the upper side of the support conveying unit.

[0007] Patent Document 4 is a persimmon peeling device that automates the processing, logistics, and transportation processes of persimmons by continuously performing the processes of removing the peel and stem of persimmons, sorting persimmons, and moving the sorted persimmons to a processing device, while also minimizing the loss of flesh during processing and processing multiple persimmons simultaneously, thereby improving productivity even in farms with labor shortages and in an aging society.

[0008] Conventional fruit peelers, including those described in patent documents 2 to 4 above, can peel multiple fruits at the same time, but they do not peel the stems and peels in a fixed position but rather move the position to perform the work sequentially, which increases the time required. Furthermore, since multiple fruits are peeled at once, there is no means to automatically sort and discharge the peeled fruits and the stems and peels removed from the fruits, so sorting them is not easy.

[0009] Meanwhile, persimmon processing farms (factories) must harvest a large quantity of persimmons during a very short period in late autumn or early winter and peel and dry them within a short time. Even if existing mechanized persimmon peelers as described above are used instead of manual labor, a large amount of manpower and time must be invested, resulting in excessive labor costs as well as the economic burden of having to purchase multiple persimmon peelers.

[0019] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention that do not limit the invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0020] FIGS. 1 to 11 show actual photographs of a multi-row fruit peeler according to the present invention and photographs of a state in which a fruit is transported, pressed, peeled, and then sorted and collected in a collection section.

[0021] As can be seen in the attached photograph, the multi-row fruit peeler (1) according to the present embodiment comprises a plurality of mounting parts (100) that are installed on one side of a main frame (10) so as to be reversible at a 90-degree angle by a rotary actuator (20), and are positioned on a sub-frame (40) which is installed to advance toward the main frame (10) or retract back to its original position by a reciprocating actuator (30), and which operate to be erected vertically or laid horizontally;

[0022] A plurality of rotating shafts (200) arranged horizontally on the other side of the main frame (10) and simultaneously rotated by a driving motor and a power transmission mechanism installed inside the main frame (10);

[0023] A plurality of pressing members (300) arranged at a 90-degree angle with respect to the seating portion (100) on the subframe (40);

[0024] A plurality of peeling sections (400) arranged on the outer edge of the rotation axis (200) of the main frame (10);

[0025] A plurality of tap removal parts (500) positioned at the rear of the above-mentioned rotation axis (200) and operated by a reciprocating actuator (550) installed inside the main frame (10);

[0026] A discharge guide (600) installed in the inner lower part of the main frame (10) so as to be reversible by a rotary actuator (60) and rotated on the rotation axis (200) to separately guide the discharge direction of the removed stem, peel, and fruit;

[0027] A peel collection unit (700) for collecting stems and peels guided by the discharge guide (600) above;

[0028] It comprises a fruit collection unit (800) that collects fruit guided by the discharge guide (600) above.

[0030] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned mounting portion (100) has a plurality (6 in the actual photograph) of suction cups (110) arranged on one side of the subframe (40), and each suction cup (110) is connected to the suction port of a compressor (not shown) so that negative pressure is applied, so that when a fruit such as a persimmon is placed in the suction cup (110), the fruit can be grasped by a suction method (vacuum suction), and after being transferred and fixed by the rotating shaft (200), the suction is released so that the fruit can be removed.

[0031] The suction cup (110) is fixed to the top of the mounting shaft (120), and a suction line is connected to the suction port of the compressor through the mounting shaft (120). The mounting shaft (120) is supported by a spring (not shown) in the subframe (40) so that it can be cushioned (compressed) by a predetermined stroke, thereby absorbing the shock when the fruit is transported and inserted into the rotating shaft (200) according to the size (thickness) of the fruit, so as to prevent damage to the fruit.

[0032] In the present invention, the holding portion (100) is configured to hold the fruit by a suction method, so the problem of reduced marketability of the fruit due to blackening caused by pressure on the surface of the fruit, which occurred in the holding portion made of a conventional gripper (pincer hand) method, can be resolved.

[0034] In addition, in the present invention, the plurality of mounting parts (100) are each independently connected to a compressor so that a vacuum suction force is generated, thereby resolving issues such as a decrease in suction force in some mounting parts, malfunctions, and reduced efficiency of the fruit peeling operation that occur during the fruit peeling operation.

[0036] The plurality of rotation shafts (200) are arranged horizontally on the other side of the main frame (10) and are configured to rotate at the same speed simultaneously by a power transmission mechanism consisting of a horizontal drive shaft (210) to which a drive motor (not shown) installed inside the main frame (10) is axially coupled, a worm (220) fixed at regular intervals, and a worm wheel (230) fixed to each of the plurality of rotation shafts (200). A trident-shaped fixing blade (see FIG. 11) is installed at the tip of the rotation shaft (200) to allow a fruit to be fitted and fixed.

[0037] Since the above-mentioned trident-shaped fixed blade is well known in the fruit peeling device to which the present invention belongs, illustration and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0039] In the attached photograph, the symbol F represents an artificial fruit, which is used for the accurate setting of the peeling part (400) during the assembly process of the fruit peeler according to the present invention, and the attached photograph shows the state before the trident-shaped fixed blade is assembled at the tip of the rotating shaft (200).

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the pressing member (300) becomes horizontal toward the rotation axis (200) when the seating member (100) is set up vertically by the rotation of the subframe (40), that is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and by advancing by an air cylinder type actuator (not shown) installed inside the subframe (40) and pressing and supporting the fruit inserted into the rotation axis (200), the peeling member (400) approaches the outer edge of the fruit and prevents the fruit from detaching from the rotation axis (200) during the peeling process, and is configured to retract to its original position by the contraction operation of the actuator just before the peeling by the peeling member (400) is almost completed.

[0042] The above-described pressing member (300) is also supported by a spring installed inside so that cushioning (pressing) can be achieved by a predetermined stroke, just like the aforementioned seating member (100), thereby absorbing the shock when supporting the fruit inserted into the rotating shaft (200) according to the size (thickness) of the fruit, so as to prevent damage to the fruit.

[0044] In this embodiment, the peeling unit (400) is structured identically to the peeling unit of a known fruit peeler, and is configured to continuously peel the fruit (F) in a spiral manner from the bottom to the top apex of the fruit (F) by rotating around the axis (420) while the peeling blade (410) is in close contact with the outer edge of the fruit (F) by the elasticity of the spring (430) while the fruit (F) is inserted into the rotation axis (200).

[0046] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the peeling part (400) is not positioned perpendicular to the rotation axis (200) as can be seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, but is positioned at a predetermined angle so that the entire surface of the fruit can be peeled from the base to the apex without missing any part.

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, the stem removal part (500) is positioned on the outer edge of the rotation axis (200), that is, on the rear outer edge of the rotation axis (200). A cutting blade (520) is supported by a plurality (3) of fixing screws (530) on a slider (510) that moves back and forth by an actuator (550; see FIG. 5) such as an air cylinder installed inside the main frame (10). A compression coil spring (540) is fitted into the fixing screws (530) to support the cutting blade (520) by pushing it forward of the slider (510). As a result, when the cutting blade (520) comes into contact with the stem portion of the fruit fixed to the rotation axis (200), it is pressed with appropriate pressure. Furthermore, since it is supported so that it can tilt at a predetermined angle by the plurality of fixing screws (530), even if the stem of the fruit is uneven, the cutting blade (520) is tilted to fit the stem. As removal is performed, the stem portion of the fruit can be cut off to become flat.

[0050] In the drawing, symbol 522 is a cutting blade support, and 524 is a pin hole in which the head portion of a fixing screw (530) formed in the cutting blade support (522) is received.

[0052] Meanwhile, the stem removal unit (500) is configured to move to three positions by the extension operation of the retractable actuator (550) installed inside the main frame (10): a standby position, i.e., a retracted state; a stem cutting position, i.e., an advanced state; and a fruit pushing position, which is a detachment position for removing the peeled fruit from the rotation axis (200). When performing the operation to remove the fruit from the rotation axis (200), the unit is programmed to perform two repeated operations to ensure the fruit is reliably pushed out.

[0054] In the drawing, reference numeral 560 is a fixed bracket for supporting the actuator (550) inside the main frame (10), reference numeral 570 is a rear slider to which the piston of the actuator (550) is fixed, and reference numeral 580 is a slider shaft for connecting the rear slider (570) and the slider (510) located at the rear of the rotation axis (200).

[0055] Also, in FIG. 5, reference numeral 900 is a PCB board of a control unit for controlling the operation of a fruit peeler according to the present invention.

[0057] As shown in FIG. 2, the discharge guide (600) is installed so that the tilt can be reversed by a rotary actuator (60) and rotates on the rotation axis (200) to guide the removed stem and peel toward the peel collection unit (700), and after the peeling operation is finished, it operates to guide the fruit that falls off the rotation axis (200) toward the fruit collection unit (800).

[0059] As can be seen in FIG. 1, the peel collection unit (700) is composed of a conveyor extending to the left outer side of the main frame (10), and as the stem and peel fall while the discharge guide (600) is tilted downward toward the rotation axis (200), the peel collection unit (700) is loaded into a container box (not shown) located on the outside by the discharge guide (600). When the removal of the peel and stem is completed, the discharge guide (600) is inverted so that it is tilted downward toward the sub-frame (40), and at the same time, the peeled fruit that was attached to the rotation axis (200) falls by the pushing action of the stem removal unit (500) and is loaded into a container box (not shown) by riding the lower fruit collection unit (800) by the discharge guide (600).

[0061] The multi-row fruit peeler of the present embodiment starts with the operator placing several fruits (F) horizontally in the placement section (100) as shown in FIG. 6. The operator only needs to place the fruit (e.g., persimmon) in the cup holder (110) of the placement section (100) with the stem facing upward. At this time, a laser guide (130) is provided on the upper part of the placement section (100), and since the laser beam emitted from the laser guide (130) is directed toward the center of the cup holder (110), the operator can accurately place the persimmon by picking it up and aligning the center of the persimmon stem with the laser beam.

[0063] Meanwhile, the cup holder (110) of the above-mentioned mounting section (100) holds the fruit by a suction method through the suction operation of the compressor, and when the persimmon is mounted in this manner, the mounting section (100) rotates 90 degrees by the rotation of the subframe (40) as shown in FIG. 7 to become horizontal, and the fruit mounted on the mounting section (100) is inserted into the rotation shaft (200) and fixed by the contraction operation of the reciprocating actuator (30). Afterwards, the mounting section (100) returns to its original position and maintains a vertically upright state, and as shown in FIG. 8, the rotation shaft (200) rotates while the pressing member (300) linked with the mounting section (100) supports the outer side of the fruit (F) fixed to the rotation shaft (200). At this time, the stem removal section (500) located around the rotation shaft (200) advances and first After removing the stem of the fruit (F) and returning to its original position (retreat), the peeling unit (400) starts operation to peel the skin.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cutting blade (520) of the stem removal part (500) is elastically supported by a compression coil spring (540), so that a free tilting motion is performed within a predetermined angle range around the rotation axis (200). Since the persimmon stem inserted into the rotation axis (200) is in a bumpy state, the tilting motion is performed along this bumpy surface, allowing the persimmon stem to be removed cleanly. As can be seen in FIG. 11, the stem removal part (500) is pushed forward of the rotation axis (200) by the forward movement of the slider (510) located at the rear, thereby pushing out the persimmon inserted into the rotation axis (200).

[0067] Meanwhile, the peeled peel and stem are discharged toward the peel collection section (700) by a discharge guide (600) that can change direction as shown in FIG. 10, and the pressing member (300) retracts just before the fruit peeling is completed as shown in FIG. 9, and when the fruit peeling is completed, the stem removal section (500) moves forward as shown in FIG. 11 to push the peeled fruit away from the rotation axis (200) and separate it, and the peeled fruit falls and is discharged to the fruit collection section by the discharge guide (600) that has changed direction, and the worker continuously performs the peeling, peel removal, and collection of the fruit by simply repeating the task of horizontally placing the fruit in the placement section that has returned to its original position.

[0069] As described above, the multi-stage fruit peeler according to the present invention allows all subsequent operations to be performed mechanically once an operator picks up a fruit with their hand and places it in a cup holder (110) formed by a suction method of the placement unit (100), namely, the process of inserting the fruit into the rotating shaft (200), the process of supporting the fruit inserted into the rotating shaft (200) by the pressing unit (300), the process of peeling the stem and peel by the stem removal unit (500) and the peeling unit (400), the process of pushing the peeled fruit out of the rotating shaft (200) by the forward movement of the slider (510), and the process of separating the stem and peel from the fruit by the reversal movement of the discharge guide (600) and collecting them in the peel collection unit (700) and the fruit collection unit (800), respectively. Therefore, there is less risk of safety accidents, and the efficiency of the fruit peeling operation is maximized, so it can be effectively utilized in dried persimmon manufacturing farms and others that lack manpower and time. I'm looking forward to it. Explanation of the symbols
