Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for cutting hairs of spherical vegetables such as onions.

  Spherical vegetables such as onions have a stem-like portion connected to the leaves extending from the sphere, which is the main body, and a hair-like portion that is a root that absorbs nutrients from below. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, one onion of a spherical vegetable has a bulb part 9A as a bulb part of the stem and a stem part 9C as a columnar part extending upward from the bulb, and extends downward from the bulb. The root extending in the direction is a hair-like portion 9B. Various spherical vegetables 9 are shipped by cutting the stem portion 9C and the hair-like portion 9B into a predetermined length, but as shown by the chain line in FIG. 20, the hair-like portion 9B is shorter than the stem-like portion 9C. Disconnected. In order to save labor for cutting the stem-like portion 9C and the hair-like portion 9B, hair-like portion cutting devices having various structures have been developed.

  As a hair-like portion cutting device, a device has been developed in which a spherical vegetable is placed between a pair of rolls and transferred in the longitudinal direction, and the hair-like portion is cut by a cutter disposed below the roll. In this apparatus, a pair of rolls are rotated in directions opposite to each other, and spherical vegetables are transferred through a spiral groove provided on the surface. The spherical vegetables transferred by the roll are transferred in a posture in which the hair-like portion protrudes downward from the gap between the rolls. The hair-like portion protruding downward from between the rolls is cut by a cutter disposed under the rolls. In the cutting device having this structure, since the cutter is disposed below the roll for transferring the spherical vegetables, there is a problem that the hair-like portion cannot be cut short.

  It is important that the cutting device can cut the hair of a spherical vegetable short. This is because a spherical vegetable with a long hairy portion has a reduced commercial value. The device that arranges the cutter under the roll and cuts the hair-like part protruding downward from the gap of the roll with the cutter is arranged below the roll, so that the spherical shape that is transported on the roll Vegetable hair cannot be cut short.

  In order to solve the above problems, a cutting device for cutting the hair-like portion short has been developed. (See Patent Documents 1 to 4)

  As described above, in the cutting device of the present invention, the hair-like portion 9B and the stem-like portion 9C protruding from the spherical portion 9A are surely obtained by rotating the spherical vegetable 9 multiple times in the rotating valley 5 between the rolls 1. Can be cut. Therefore, the cutting device is configured such that the spherical vegetable 9 moving on the roll 1 rotates at least a plurality of times in the rotating valley 5 between the rolls 1, the inclination angle α of the transport tool 2, the rotational speed of the roll 1, and the spherical vegetable 9. The supply amount is adjusted. The spherical vegetable 9 that is transferred while being rotated in the rotary valley 5 between the sub-rolls 21 in the stem-like part cutting part 20 is rotated a plurality of times in the first rotary valley 5 so that the stem 9C protrudes from the spherical part 9A.

In other words, the stem-like portion cutting portion 20 is rotated in each rotating valley 5 a plurality of times while being sequentially moved to the plurality of rotating valleys 5, so that the stem-like portion 9C is surely cut to a predetermined length. The Similarly, the spherical vegetables 9 that are transferred while being rotated in the rotation valley 5 between the rolls 1 in the hair cutting unit 10 are rotated several times in the first rotation valley 5 so that the hair protrudes from the spherical portion 9A. The hair-like portion 9B is reliably cut by being rotated a plurality of times in a state where the hair-like portion 9B is cut and transferred to the next rotation valley 5. In other words, the hair-like portion cutting part 10 is also moved to the plurality of rotation valleys 5 in order, and the hair-like portion 9B is reliably cut by being rotated a plurality of times in each rotation valley 5.

  Furthermore, in the cutting device of the present invention, the rotation direction of the spherical vegetable 9 rotating in the rotating valley 5 shifts from horizontal rotation to vertical rotation, so that the stem-like portion 9C and the hair-like portion 9B projecting up and down the spherical portion 9A. Can surely enter the cutting openings 14 and 24 and cut. Thus, the direction of rotation of the spherical vegetable 9 changes because the stem 9C of the spherical vegetable 9 in the laterally rotated state is displaced from the center axis of rotation, and centrifugal force acts, so that the stem 9C This is because a state of rotating along the outer peripheral edge of the rotating track, that is, a shift to vertical rotation is made. In this way, the rotating spherical vegetables 9 are rotated a plurality of times while randomly repeating the horizontal rotation and the vertical rotation, whereby the stem-like portion 9C and the hair-like portion 9B are reliably cut.

  In addition, although the above cutting device is provided with eight rolls 1, the cutting device does not limit the number of rolls 1. The carrier 2 can increase the amount of the spherical vegetables 9 that can be processed at a time by increasing the number of rolls 1 and increasing the total length of the rolls 1.

For example, the cutting device can increase the number of vegetables that can be processed at a time as a stationary cutting device by increasing the length of the roll or increasing the number of rolls. The cutting device can be conveniently used as a portable cutting device by shortening the roll or reducing the number of rolls. For example, the portable cutting device can be moved to a field or the like, and the harvested spherical vegetables can be processed on the spot. In addition, in the cutting device which moves to a field etc. and processes, it can be used as an engine of agricultural machines, such as a tillage machine, as a power source of the rotation mechanism 4. Since this cutting device can omit a power source such as an engine or a motor, the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, by not having a power source, the whole can be made compact and easy to carry.
