[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a strawberry picker for improving the efficiency of picking strawberry for processing such as jam.
[0002]
2. Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention
Raw strawberry is shipped with a stick and is served as it is on the table, but strawberry for processing must be removed before processing. This heaping operation is mainly performed by the shipping farmers because of the large difference in the prices of the strawberries for processing.
[0003]
However, the conventional scraping work involves tearing by hand or cutting with an appropriate hand tool such as a knife to remove the scrap, which is extremely inefficient in work efficiency. Therefore, the present invention proposes a strawberry cutter which has excellent work efficiency.
[0004]
[Means to solve the problem]
The strawberry remover according to the present invention includes, on the upper surface plate of the desk-shaped main body, a through-hole, which is a through hole, and a blade blade facing the above-mentioned outlet, and has an appropriate step. At the very least, the sword plate portion fixed and the insertion port of a size sufficient for the strawberry fruit to be inserted into the sword plate portion on the opposite side from the edge where the blades are formed are sequentially arranged, and the sword plate is inserted below the upper plate. It is characterized by having a receiving part for receiving strawberries from the mouth.
[0005]
Further, in particular, in the above-mentioned strawberry cutter, a funnel-shaped tubular portion having an upper edge portion including the entirety of the discharge port and the entire back surface of the blade-pulling blade is vertically provided, and a suction storage mechanism is provided in the tubular portion. It is characterized by being connected.
[0006]
When the strawberry was held in the hand and moved to the blade-pulling blade part with the barb down, it was cut by the blade-pulling blade, dropped from the outlet, and cut off the bark. The strawberry moves to the input port following the above-described cutting operation, and releases the hand at the input port, falls from the input port, and is received by the receiving unit. Therefore, the flattening operation can be performed efficiently. Furthermore, if a suction storage mechanism (an existing vacuum cleaner can be used) connected to the funnel-shaped tubular portion is connected to the discharge port, the waste can be easily disposed without being thrown into the receiving portion. .
[0007]
Embodiment
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The strawberry picker shown in the embodiment is a desk type main body 1 having a height that is easy to work, and is provided with a strawberry supply unit 2, a cutout / discharge unit 3, and a strawberry actual take-in unit 4. It is.
[0008]
The desk-type main body 1 is provided with an upper surface plate 11 formed of a stainless steel plate on an upper surface, and a strawberry supply unit 2 described later is attached to one side. Support leg 12 is provided. In particular, since the support leg 12 is provided so as to protrude from the main body 1, the support leg 12 is configured to be freely retractable from the main body 1 for convenient storage.
[0009]
The strawberry supply unit 2 is further positioned on the front side when the main body 1 is arranged in front of the worker, and is composed of a mounting plate 21 and a support rod 22. The harvesting box A is large enough to be placed, and is pivotally connected to one edge of the main body 1 so as to be freely rotatable. The main body 1 is supported at an appropriate inclination angle by the support rod 22, and the side of the main body 1 when not in use. It is provided along with the piece. The support rod 22 has a base portion pivotally connected to the placing plate 21, and a tip end portion formed in multiple stages so as to be hooked on a hook shaft 23 provided on the main body 1.
[0010]
The cutting part 3 has a discharge port 31 and a sword plate part 32 provided on an upper surface plate (made of stainless steel) 11 of the main body 1. The discharge port portion 31 has a sword plate portion 32 arranged in an eaves shape on the side edge opposite to the strawberry supply portion 2 as a horizontally long through-hole, and in particular, the gap between the side edge on the strawberry supply portion 2 side and the blade edge can be adjusted. Thus, the fixed position of the sword plate portion 32 can be adjusted. Further, the sword plate portion 32 forms a blade (blade edge) that is pulled toward the discharge port portion 31 side, and the blade edge portion is set higher than the upper surface plate 11 by a step difference corresponding to the thickness of the strawberry. The height behind the blade edge naturally matches the height of the upper surface plate 11 by, for example, forming an inclined surface.
[0011]
Further, below the outlet 31 (the back of the upper surface plate 11), a funnel-shaped tubular portion 33 having an upper edge having a size including the entire back of the blade 31 of the outlet 31 and the sword plate portion 32 is provided. And a suction storage mechanism 34 connected to the cylindrical portion 33 is connected.
[0012]
An existing suction-type vacuum cleaner can be adopted as the helical suction storage mechanism 34, and a suction hose 35 is connected to the cylindrical portion 33, and a dust bag 36 illustrated in FIG. 5 is used. Since the dust collection target contains water, the dust collection bag 36 has a non-permeable film 361 on one side and a breathable film on the other side so as to reduce the influence on the suction motor of the vacuum cleaner. The film 361 is disposed on the suction motor side and used.
[0013]
The strawberry fruit take-in part 4 is provided with an inlet 41 provided in the main body upper plate 11 following the formation of the cutting part 3 with the strawberry supply part 2, and a receiving part arranged below the inlet 41. 42. The inlet 41 is formed to have a size enough to allow the strawberry fruit to be sufficiently introduced, and the receiving unit 42 is a storage box B for the strawberry fruit and is disposed between the legs of the desk-type main body 1.
[0014]
Then, the harvesting box A containing the strawberry C (the strawberry c2 with the crotch c1) is mounted on the mounting table 21 fixed at an easy-to-work angle (to the side of the input port 41). When the worker is located, the harvesting box A is in a state in which the upper surface is inclined toward the working side, and the above-mentioned inclination is further increased when the strawberry C at the bottom of the harvesting box A is cut off. ), Take out the strawberry C from the harvest box A and move it toward the blade edge of the sword plate part 32 with the c1 portion facing down, the c1 is cut by the blade pulling blade (blade edge) and discharged. It is dropped from the outlet 31, sucked by the suction storage mechanism 34, and stored in the dust bag 36. The dust collecting bag 36 is replaced and used every day.
[0015]
The strawberry c2 from which the cleaved c1 has been removed is carried to the position of the inlet 41 following the cutting operation, and when the strawberry c2 is released from the inlet 41 at the inlet 41, the strawberry c2 is removed from the inlet 41. It falls into the storage box B which is the receiving part 42.
[0016]
Therefore, the operator holds several strawberries C in his hand, moves it on the cut section 3 so as to slide on the upper surface plate 11, carries it to the insertion port 41, and releases his hand from the strawberries, thereby easily making the strawberries. It will be done.
[0017]
The strawberry supply unit may be configured to automatically supply the strawberry C to an appropriate portion of the upper surface plate 11 by adopting a conveyor or the like, and the receiving unit 42 also has a sliding inclined table below the input port 41. Alternatively, a configuration in which the main body 1 is disposed outside or a conveyor is incorporated and carried out to another location may be adopted.
