On the other hand, it is arranged in an inclined manner. The high-pressure air ejected from the ejection port 83 of the ejection nozzle 81 is guided along the inclined guide plate 82 while being rectified by hitting the inclined guide plate 82.

  Next, the operation of the long onion processing apparatus 1 will be described.

  For example, a plurality of unprocessed long onions A harvested from the field and having different lengths are temporarily placed on the upper plate 12 of the apparatus main body 2.

  Then, for example, before starting the processing work, one worker stands in front of the long onion processing apparatus 1 and confirms whether or not the direction of the skin peeling means 5 is the direction suitable for him. If not, the direction of the skin peeling means 5 is adjusted.

  For example, when the worker is a relatively large person, the worker removes the long leek A after being cut on the placing body 71 of the skin peeling means 5 so that the skin peeling means 5 is easy to place. Is rotated horizontally around the rotation center axis X with respect to the apparatus body 2, and the opening 63 of the skin peeling means 5 is set in a state of facing diagonally forward right.

  Then, the operator first lifts one long leek A with its longitudinal direction aligned with the left-right direction, puts the long leek A in the left-right direction into the space 16 below the upper plate 12, It is mounted on the mounting table 15 of the device frame 11.

  At this time, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, the root portion A1 of the long onion A is placed on the support plate 36 of the root portion support portion 34 of the root portion transport body 32 of the root portion cutting means 3, and The leaf tip A2 of the long onion A is placed on the support plate 46 of the leaf tip support 44 of the leaf tip transport body 42 of the leaf tip cutting means 4.

  Next, when the operator operates an operation unit such as a switch for starting work, the cylinder 20 extends by a predetermined amount, and the root part conveyance body 32 and the leaf tip part conveyance body 42 simultaneously move toward the rear with the rotation shaft 19 as the center. And rotate by a predetermined rotation angle.

  Then, the root part A1 of the long onion A moves to the fixed cutting blade 31 side for cutting and is cut by the fixed cutting blade 31 for cutting, and the leaf tip part A2 of the long onion A is fixed blade 41 for cutting leaves. It moves to the side and is cut by the fixed blade 41 for leaf cutting. As a result, the length of the long onion A becomes constant.

  Subsequently, when the cylinder 20 is contracted by a predetermined amount, and the root part transport body 32 and the leaf tip part transport body 42 are simultaneously rotated about the rotation shaft 19 to the original position by a predetermined rotation angle, Even if the leaf tip A2 of the predetermined length of green onion A is pulled back by the leaf tip return portion 47, it returns to its original position.

  Next, the operator grasps the leaf tip A2 that has returned to the original position, lifts the long onion A in the left-right direction, and turns the long onion A 90 degrees so that the leaf tip A2 comes to the front. After making it the front-back direction, it is mounted on the mounting body 71 of the skin peeling means 5 while holding the long onion A in the front-rear direction. At this time, the long onion A in the front-rear direction is inserted through the opening 63 which is the front opening of the skin peeling means 5 and is positioned between the left and right injection nozzles 81.

  In this way, when the operator places the long onion A on the mounting body 71 and sets it in the outer skin peeling means 5, the on-off valve opens by the control of the control means based on the detection signal of the detection means. The high pressure air is jetted from both jet nozzles 81, and this high pressure air is guided by both guide plates 82 and enters between the outer skin A3 and the main body A4 of the long onion A. As a result, the outer skin A3 becomes the main body A4. Stripped from.

  When the dirty outer skin A3 is peeled off and removed, the operator takes out the processed long green onion A from the outer skin peeling means 5. Thus, the root cutting operation, the leaf cutting operation, and the skinning operation are completed, and the operator repeats the above-described operation.

  And according to such a long onion processing apparatus 1, the base part cutting | disconnection means 3 provided in the left-right direction one end side of the apparatus main body 2, and the leaf-tip part cutting | disconnection provided in the left-right direction other end side of the apparatus main body 2 Since the apparatus 4 and the outer skin peeling means 5 provided in the middle portion in the left-right direction of the apparatus main body 2 are provided, three operations of root cutting work, leaf cutting work and skinning work are performed by this single device. For example, compared with the case where two apparatuses (a long onion cutting apparatus and a long onion peeling apparatus) are used conventionally, the burden on an operator can be reduced.

  Further, since the orientation of the skin peeling means 5 can be adjusted by the rotation of the skin peeling means 5 with respect to the apparatus main body 2 in the left-right direction, even if the worker is a relatively large person, for example, By setting the means 5 in a state in which the opening 63 on the front face thereof is directed obliquely to the front right side, it becomes easier to place the long onion A on the placing body 71, and the burden on the operator can be further reduced.

  Furthermore, for example, when the mounting body 71 of the skin peeling means 5 is cleaned after a processing operation or the like, the mounting body 71 can be easily detached from the rotating body 51 without using a tool. It is easy to clean, and deposits adhering to the mounting body 71 can be removed easily and appropriately. Therefore, the flow of the high-pressure air injected from the injection nozzle 81 becomes smooth during work, and the outer skin A3 of the long onion A can be efficiently peeled off.

  Further, since the skin peeling means 5 has the guide plate 82 for guiding the high-pressure air jetted from the jet nozzle 81 toward the long onion A, the skin A3 of the long onion A can be peeled off efficiently and appropriately. Therefore, the burden on the operator can be further reduced.

  In the embodiment described above, the root cutting means 3 has the root cutting fixed blade 31 and the leaf tip cutting means 4 has the leaf cutting fixed blade 41. As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the root cutting means 3 on the left end side has a root cutting movable blade 91 which is a root cutting body, and the leaf tip cutting means 4 on the right end side is a leaf tip cutting body. A configuration having a leaf cutting movable blade 92 may be used.

  The root cutting movable blade 91 is rotatable in the front-rear direction with respect to the apparatus main body 2 by the operation of a cylinder (not shown) as a driving means. The leaf cutting movable blade 92 is rotatable in the front-rear direction with respect to the apparatus main body 2 by the operation of a cylinder 93 as a driving means.
