Description

Dispositif pour le traitement mécanique de denrées alimentaires du genre tubercules
La présente invention concerne une machine pour le traitement mécanique de denrées alimentaires du genre tubercules ou fruits et légumes pressentant une certaine résistance mécanique.
Device for the mechanical treatment of foodstuffs of the tuber type
The present invention relates to a machine for the mechanical treatment of foodstuffs of the tuber or fruit and vegetable genus sensing a certain mechanical resistance.

En particulier, l'invention s'applique au traitement industriel des pommes de terre pour l'opération consistant à séparer de la pomme de terre une couche externe comportant la peau et une faible épaisseur de pomme de terre elle-même. Cette couche externe, facilement séparable, étant la conséquence de l'opération précédente consistant à soumettre les pommes de de terre å un traitement de vapeur d'eau à haute pression d'où il résulte une cuisson superficielle. In particular, the invention applies to the industrial treatment of potatoes for the operation of separating from the potato an outer layer comprising the skin and a small thickness of potato itself. This outer layer, easily separable, being the consequence of the previous operation consisting in subjecting the potatoes to a treatment of steam at high pressure from which results a superficial cooking.

L'opération de séparationS objet de la présente Invention, consiste donc en une opération de nettoyage ayant pour but d'enlever la couche superficielle cuite. Comme cette opération se concrétise fina lament par une machine de nettoyage, une telle Machine peut généralement être utilisee outre comme l'une des étapes de 19épluchage de pommes de terre ou autres tubercules, pour le nettoyage de certains fruits et légumes.  The separation operation which is the subject of the present invention therefore consists of a cleaning operation whose purpose is to remove the cooked surface layer. As this operation ultimately takes the form of a cleaning machine, such a machine can generally be used in addition to one of the stages of peeling potatoes or other tubers, for cleaning certain fruits and vegetables.

Une machine connue pour opérer une telle opération est constituée par une série de longues brosses cylindriques disposées côte à côte parallèlement. L'enveloppe de ces brosses constitue une portion de surface cylindrique sur au moins 180 degrés. Ces brosses sont fixées aux extrémités d'un carter qui enveloppe l'ensemble et qui est ouvert à son extrémité inférieure pour laisser passer les déchets.  A machine known to operate such an operation is constituted by a series of long cylindrical brushes arranged side by side in parallel. The envelope of these brushes constitutes a portion of cylindrical surface over at least 180 degrees. These brushes are fixed to the ends of a casing which envelops the assembly and which is open at its lower end to let the waste pass.

Les es des brosses sont fixes mais chaque brosse est entraînée en rotation autour de son axe.The brushes are fixed but each brush is rotated around its axis.

Le carter comporte un arbre central comprenant des buses d'injection d'eau.  The housing has a central shaft comprising water injection nozzles.

Les tubercules sont placées entre l'arbre et les brosses, les déchets s'évacuant entre les brosses et de là dans un bac sous le carter. The tubers are placed between the tree and the brushes, the waste being evacuated between the brushes and from there in a container under the casing.

Une telle machine est assez compliquée, il y a de nombreuses brosses, un systeme de réduction planétaire, de nombreux accouplements En outre, le nettoyage de la machine n'est pas aisé.  Such a machine is quite complicated, there are many brushes, a planetary reduction system, many couplings In addition, cleaning the machine is not easy.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser une machine plus simple, plus économique et permettant un nettoyage plus facile. The present invention aims to achieve a simpler machine, more economical and allowing easier cleaning.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet une machine pour le traitement méeanique de denrées alimentaires du genre tubercules, caractérisée en ce queelle comprend un tambour cylindrIque perforé muni de moyens d'entraînement en rotation, un cylindre muni de poils sur toute sa surface étant disposé à l'intérieur de ce tambour, ledit cylindre étant muni de moyens d'entraînement en rotation en sens inverse de celui dudit tambour. The invention thus relates to a machine for the meeanic treatment of foodstuffs of the tuber type, characterized in that it comprises a perforated cylindrical drum provided with means for driving in rotation, a cylinder provided with bristles over its entire surface being arranged to inside this drum, said cylinder being provided with means for driving in rotation in the opposite direction to that of said drum.

Selon une réalisation préférée de l'invention, permettant une avance régulière des denrées introduites dans la "achine, ledit tambour est muni, sur sa surface Intérieure, d'un ruban rigide, ds surface hélicoldale dont l'axe est celui du tambour et qui s'étend radialement depuis la surface interne du tambour jusqu'au voisinage de l'extrémité libre desdits poils. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, allowing a regular advance of the foodstuffs introduced into the feeder, said drum is provided, on its interior surface, with a rigid ribbon, ds helical surface whose axis is that of the drum and which extends radially from the internal surface of the drum to the vicinity of the free end of said bristles.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, ledit tambour est muni, sur sa surface interne de pales de brassage, chaque pale étant disposée entre deux spires successives dudit ruban. According to another characteristic of the invention, said drum is provided, on its internal surface with stirring blades, each blade being disposed between two successive turns of said ribbon.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le cylindre intérieur muni de poils comporte des moyens de réglage de sa position par rappurt å l'axe du tambour. According to another characteristic, the inner cylinder provided with bristles comprises means for adjusting its position relative to the axis of the drum.

L'invention sera bien comprise å la lumiere de la description dlun exemple de réalisation de l'invention faite ci-après en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel
La figure 1 représente schématiquement, en coupe axiale selon I
I de la figure 2 une machine selon l'invention.
The invention will be clearly understood in the light of the description of an exemplary embodiment of the invention made below with reference to the appended drawing in which
Figure 1 shows schematically, in axial section along I
I of Figure 2 a machine according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une coupe selon II-II de la figure 1 en vue agrandie. Figure 2 is a section on II-II of Figure 1 in enlarged view.

La figure 3 est une vue en perspeCtive écorchée montrant la partie essentielle de la machine hors du bats.  Figure 3 is a cutaway perspective view showing the essential part of the machine outside the bats.

En se référant aux figures, la machine comprend un tambour extérieur 1 comportant des perforations 2. Ce tambour repose sur quatre galets, libres en rotation, montés sur un châssis support 4. Un groupe moto-réducteur 5 permet d'entratner en rotation le tambour par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie 6. A l'intérieur du tambour, est placé un cylindre 7 dont l'arbre 8 repose sur des paliers 9, 10 solidaires du chassie 4. Ce cylindre 7 est recouvert de poils 11. Referring to the figures, the machine comprises an outer drum 1 comprising perforations 2. This drum rests on four rollers, free to rotate, mounted on a support frame 4. A geared motor group 5 allows the drum to be driven in rotation by means of a belt 6. Inside the drum, a cylinder 7 is placed, the shaft 8 of which rests on bearings 9, 10 integral with the frame 4. This cylinder 7 is covered with bristles 11.

La couche de poils repose sur un support en caoutchouc 12.The layer of bristles rests on a rubber support 12.

Un groupe moto-réducteur 13 entrarne le cylindre 7 en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie 14 et d'une poulie 15 située à l'extrémité droite de l'arbre 8 du cylindre. Le sens de rotation du cylindre 7 est inverse de celui du tambour extérieur 1. A geared motor group 13 rotates the cylinder 7 in rotation via a belt 14 and a pulley 15 located at the right end of the shaft 8 of the cylinder. The direction of rotation of the cylinder 7 is opposite to that of the outer drum 1.

Le tambour externe 1 porte sur sa surface intérieure une bande rigide 16 de surface hélicoIdale s'enroulant autour du cylindre 7. Son axe est celui du tambour et l'extension radiale des spires va de la surface interne du tambour jusqu'au voisinage de l'extrémité libre des poils 11 du cylindre 7. The external drum 1 carries on its internal surface a rigid band 16 of helical surface winding around the cylinder 7. Its axis is that of the drum and the radial extension of the turns goes from the internal surface of the drum to the vicinity of the free end of the bristles 11 of the cylinder 7.

Le tambour 1 porte en outre, sur sa surface interne, quatre rangées, disposées à 900 les unes des autres, de pales de brassage 17. The drum 1 also carries, on its internal surface, four rows, arranged 900 from one another, of mixing blades 17.

Chaque pale 17 est placée entre deux spires successives du ruban 16.Each blade 17 is placed between two successive turns of the ribbon 16.

L'ensemble comporte en outre une trémie d'alimentation 18 soli- daire d'un plateau d'obturation 19 fixe bouchant l'extrémité du tambour. Un léger Jeu entre le plateau 19 et l'extrémité du tambour 1 permet la libre rotation de celui-ci. A l'extrémité opposée, le tambour est ouvert et les tubercules sont recueillis, nettoyés de leur déchets, dans une goulotte de récupération 20. The assembly further comprises a feed hopper 18 secured to a fixed shutter plate 19 covering the end of the drum. A slight clearance between the plate 19 and the end of the drum 1 allows the free rotation thereof. At the opposite end, the drum is opened and the tubers are collected, cleaned of their waste, in a recovery chute 20.

Les déchets sont évacués a travers les perforations 2 du tambour externe 1 et sont récupérés dans un bac non représenté. The waste is discharged through the perforations 2 of the external drum 1 and is recovered in a tank, not shown.

On prévoit également des moyens de réglage de l'arbre 8 du cylindre 7 de manière à pouvoir éventuellement l'excentrer par rapport à l'axe du tambour externe 1. Means for adjusting the shaft 8 of the cylinder 7 are also provided so as to be able to optionally offset it relative to the axis of the external drum 1.

Comme on peut le voir, l'ensemble est d'une grande simplicité et en outre, l'appareil ne comportant qu'une seule brosse, constituée par le cylindre 7 recouvert de poils, de grande dimension, le nettoyage de la machine est aisée. As we can see, the assembly is very simple and in addition, the device comprising only one brush, constituted by the cylinder 7 covered with bristles, of large dimension, the cleaning of the machine is easy. .

Bien que cela ne soit pas représenté et que ce ne soit pas indispensable, on peut prévoir une rampe d'injection d'eau.  Although this is not shown and it is not essential, a water injection ramp can be provided.
