weisfingor passed to a fork 193 'one Apfekragspindel 194 'to be skewered. However, should the apple be inaccurately oriented and as a result if rejected by the rejector finger, it is led into a return chute and returned in the circuit.

When the apples are impaled on a fork 193 ', rotating cutting devices 187' act on them. Equal-. Early on, a coring knife or tube 238 'is moved upward through the fruit. The Entkerfiungsyorgang ends shortly after the cutting devices 187 'have peeled the apple. The cut core is removed from the coring tube by a downward movement of the upper picker finger 153 '. This is followed by a downward movement of the coring tube which the peeled and cored apple on the situation on a stripper plate 251 ^': brings. Another downward movement of the coring tube strips the apple off; the apple is delivered to a chute 252.

The individual parts of the facility are now discussed. The machine is driven by a motor, the one below the table 47 'in the housing 50! is housed. The shaft of the motor drives by a belt 504 wrapped around the machine pulley, a pulley 178 'for the peeling cutter (for actuating the cutters of the rotating cutting means 187 ').

The machine pulley is coaxially connected to a pinion, which has a gear reduction the feed star 42 'and the conveyor 10' via a bevel gear.

The table 47 'is rotated by means of a toothed wheel which is fastened on a tubular shaft which carries the table 47'. The rotation of this gear is transmitted to another gear 167 ', which is on the lower End of the main shaft 168 'of the turntable is attached and the peeling and coring table 151' as a whole drives.

It can be seen from the above that the motor actuates the following parts, the conveyor W, the feed star 42 ', the orientation disc 47', the peeling and coring turntable 151 'and the peeling cutters of the rotating peeling device 187'. In addition, these elements are connected by a positive drive system that synchronizes the movements or rotations. The dimensions of the various gears are understandably chosen so that each assembly works in a certain time relationship to the other groups.

The motor also operates additional mechanisms. The first mechanism contains the orientation wheels. Another mechanism contains the apples spindles 134 ', which are set in rotation, when the pulleys 565 abut the belt 193 '.

General construction
of the peeling and coring turntable

60

The turntable 151 'contains a plurality of apple pie spindles 194' with upper pick-up fingers 153 'and piercing forks 193'. A rotatable cutting device 187 ', a pick-up finger 152' engaging in the lower recess, and an opening mechanism 206 'are functionally assigned to each support spindle. Each of these mechanisms and their controls are mounted on a rotary table shaft, generally designated 168 ', which revolves in a frame which consists of the upper and lined support plate SSy, 55! and a vertical frame 552. The turntable shaft 168 'comprises four support units 553, 554, 555 and 556 which form a support for the actuating mechanism for the turntable. The shaft is rotatably stepped in bearings 557 and 558 mounted on plates 550 and 551.

It should be noted that for the younger fingers 152 'and coring mechanism 206' separate supports and actuating mechanisms are provided. This peculiarity allows an adjustment in the setting of each of the actuated mechanisms, which because of their different movements and functional purposes in a larger or Require movements to a lesser extent and provide for them to be operated independently of one another.

The turntable 151 'has control cams for actuation the upper pick-up fingers 153 'and the rotating cutting tools 187'. It is one A plurality of cam rings are provided which are horizontally arranged one inside the other, each cam ring has one or more cam tracks with follower rollers that have positive control for each particular one Mechanism. The local mounting of the cams and lever mountings was with Consideration of their mode of operation is made in such a way that they thereby also an adjustment of the temporal relationships of the mechanisms to be controlled. This is of particular importance for the setting the machine when processing different types and sizes of apples.

Construction and installation of the apple spindles
and the operating mechanism

As the F i g. 3 and 9, each apple cage spindle 194 'includes one mounted on support member 554 Spindle housing. Within housing 560 are ball bearings at opposite ends of the housing 561 and 562 built in to accommodate a tubular spindle 563, which has a fork 193 'at the lower end. wearing. Adjustment screws 564 are used to secure the forks 193 'to their associated spindles 563. Am A pulley 565 is screwed onto the upper end of the spindle, on which the belt 198 'rests, when the turntable is rotated, thereby rotating the fork 193 '.

Each apple support spindle 194 'further contains a finger 153 ', which engages in the upper recess of an apple and reciprocally received in a guide passage through the tubular fork 193' is. The upper end of each finger 153 'is also reciprocable in a tubular portion 566, a thickened head 567 is provided at the end of the finger 153 'to facilitate the separation of the finger and To prevent tube part, but to allow a telescopic relative movement of the finger in part 566. The body of the finger 153 'is made of tubing in order to keep the inertial mass as low as possible. Finger 153 'is normally in that shown in Figure 9 Position biased by the relatively low force inserted into the tubular part 566 Coil spring 568. The force of spring 568 is applied to head 567 of finger 153 'by a Threaded pin 569 transferred, which forms a spring seat In addition, a pin 570 is arranged in the tube part 566, its upper end at the upper end of the

The other connection with a pivotable on the support arm of the angle lever is connected to a lever 621 verbun-553 mounted angle lever 578 is connected. A cam roller 623 is actuated by a rocker arm 622 through an arm of the angle lever 578 and a rod 579, which is bound in the recess 624, which runs in a cam ring 625 connected to the tube part 566.

Peeling Mechanism and Operation Adjustment of the cam ring assembly The basic mode of operation of the cutting device according to FIGS. 7 and 8 are cam rings

device 187 'consists in the fact that two knives 337' and 338 ' 573, 625 and 618 are arranged horizontally one inside the other, are brought to attack an apple which is placed on the angular position of the cam rings 573 and 618 relader fork 193' of an associated spindle 194 ' - It can be adjusted relative to the turntable axis, around the time it is skewered, and that the cutting device with the measuring relationships of the various mechanisms is rotated by about 90 ° around the apple. The places that are controlled by these cams. Cutting device 187 'contains two rotatable knives. In addition, the cam ring 573 is mounted so that 337' and 338 'with associated peel depth determiners it radially towards the table 47' or away from it 348 'and 349', which are rotatably in a yoke 339 'under - can be adjusted without disturbing the adjustment of the cam, which can pivot on the peeling head body 65 kenrings (618 and 625. For this purpose 335 'is attached. The knives 337' and 338 'are the cam ring 573 with two angular slots 630, 631 is driven separately by a pinion 353 ', which is executed in the recess, through which a bolt 632 ragi, engages with a gear 354'. The pinion 353 'holds the cam ring on the underside of the support plate

550 attached. The angular position of the slots 630 and 631 is offset by approximately 90 ° with respect to the part of the cam recess 572 which controls the operation of the upper pick-up fingers at the time of the pick-up. The play between the slots 630, 631 and the bolts 632 enables the cam ring 573 to be shifted either radially in order to adjust the vertical position of the pick-up finger 153 'for small, medium and larger apple dimensions, or to produce an angle for the correct timing.
