Description

  The present invention relates to a vegetable peeler, and more particularly to a vegetable peeler that automatically and efficiently peels the skin of a vegetable with a thin skin, such as ginger, taro, and potato.

  In food factories, bento factories, and supermarkets, recently, restaurant chain stores and the like are demanding various vegetable peel products. Large scale peelers are deployed in relatively large factories such as food factories and bento factories where large amounts of vegetable peel products are required. However, for example, in stores where consumption is limited such as a chain store of udon, it is impossible to install such a large machine in terms of space and cost.

  As a vegetable peeler having a compact configuration, a taro peeler is disclosed in registered utility model No. 3001588, and a peeler such as chestnut, taro, potato, etc. is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-61893. Is disclosed. However, these peelers are not practical, and for example, no consideration has been given to vegetables with irregularities on the surface, such as ginger. Therefore, the present situation is that the small and troublesome peeling of vegetables such as ginger must be relied on only manually using a knife or peeler.

Registered Utility Model No. 3001588 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-61893

  As described above, traditionally, a vegetable peel product such as ginger is required like a chain store of udon, but in stores where consumption is limited, large-scale products used in food factories etc. Since it is not possible to install a peeler for mass production, there is a reality that it is necessary to rely solely on human labor for the peeling work of vegetables such as ginger which takes time. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vegetable peeler that has a simple and compact configuration and can automatically and efficiently peel off time-consuming vegetables such as ginger, taro, and potato.

The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above problem includes an inner tub in a body case with a lid, and the inner tub is formed such that the inner diameter of the lower half is narrower than the inner diameter of the upper half. are, on the inner bottom surface of the inner tub is rotated blades arranged rotationally driven by a rotational driving means which is deployed on its underside, a flexible along the inner circumferential surface of the upper half of the inner tub The peel strip is detachably loaded , and the peel strip is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper half of the inner tub by a restoring force accompanying release of the compression force received during loading, charged vegetables with water within the floats by the action of the vortex caused by the rotary blade, a vegetable peeler you characterized in that it is decorticated by the peeling zone.

In one embodiment, the upper portion of the upper half of the tank, the reduced diameter portion is provided to stop pressing the peeling zone, also the ridges every on appropriate intervals to half the inner peripheral surface of the inner tub It is provided in a vertical direction, and can be peeled off by the ridges in a state in which the peel strip is removed .

  The stripping band is a perforated plate, or is formed by forming a punching blade group on the surface of the band-shaped plate, or is composed of expanded metal, or has a regular convex portion on the surface of the band-shaped plate. Or it is provided at random.

  The vegetable peeler according to the present invention is configured as described above, and causes eddy currents by the rotation of the rotating blades to remove vegetables such as ginger, etc. Uneven portions such as a perforated circle group, a punching blade group, a lattice group, etc. By rubbing, there is an effect that it is possible to automatically and efficiently peel a small and time-consuming vegetable with irregularities on the surface. In addition, since it has a simple and compact configuration as a whole, it does not take up space for installation and can be supplied at a relatively low price. For example, it is suitable for installation in restaurants such as udon chain stores. .

It is the BB sectional view taken on the line in FIG. It is a perspective view which shows the drainage method of the example of 1 structure of the vegetable peeler which concerns on this invention.

A mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The vegetable peeler according to the present invention is configured by arranging an inner tub 2 in a body case 1 having a lid 5, and the inner tub 2 has an inner diameter of a lower half portion 3 of an upper half portion 4. It is formed so as to be narrower than that. A rotating blade 6 that is rotationally driven by rotational driving means disposed below the inner tank 2 is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the inner tank 2, and can be moved along the inner peripheral surface of the upper half 4 of the inner tank 2. A flexible peel strip 12 is detachably loaded.

  A drain plug 9 of a water pipe 8 extending from the lower half of the inner tub 2 is disposed on the outer surface of the main body case 1, and a handle 10 is installed on the outer surface of the main body case 1. In one embodiment, the protrusions 11 are formed vertically on the inner peripheral surface of the upper half 4 of the inner tub 2 at appropriate intervals.

  The peel strip 12 loaded along the inner peripheral surface of the upper half 4 of the inner tub 2 is a flexible strip that can be rolled by hand (see FIG. 3), and is pressed in a state compressed by hand. When the half part 4 is loaded and released, it is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the upper half part 4 by its restoring force. Preferably, the reduced diameter portion 7 is formed on the upper side of the upper half 4 of the inner layer 2, whereby the peel strip 12 attached to the upper half 4 is pressed down so that the inner layer 2 is stably loaded and It is prevented from falling out. When the peel strip 12 is removed, the diameter may be reduced by pressing and shrinking.

  The peel strip 12 rubs off the skin of ginger, taro, potato, etc. pressed against the inner surface of the inner tub 2 in the upper half 4 of the inner tub 2 by centrifugal force as will be described later. It is provided with a peeling means for peeling off as is done, and the following various forms can be considered as the peeling means.

  The peel strip 12 in the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is composed of a perforated plate (punching metal). In that case, the edge generated at the edge on one side at the time of punching out each circular hole 13 is left as it is, and when loading into the upper half part 4 of the inner tub 2, the edge existing surface is arranged inward. As will be described later, this edge portion is caught by the thin skin of the vegetable and acts so that the skin is efficiently peeled off. Moreover, it is good also as preparing multiple types of peeling strip 12 from which the size of the circular hole 13 differs, and making selection use possible according to the kind of vegetable.

  The strip 14 in the example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is formed by forming a group of punching blades made up of a number of punching blades 21, usually a thin metal strip 20 made of stainless steel, aluminum, or the like. 22 is fixed. The punching blade 21 is formed, for example, by punching the belt-like plate 20 into a U shape and slightly raising the inner part. Preferably, the tip of the punching blade 21 is sharpened (see FIG. 6). The punching blade group may be formed so as to be continuous as a whole, or may be disposed intermittently as in the illustrated example.

  The peel strip 12 in this case is loaded so that the cutting edge of the punching blade 21 faces a ginger or the like that floats and rotates as will be described later. Thus, the tip of the punching blade 21 acts like a knife on the skin such as ginger, and the skin is peeled off cleanly. This punching blade 21 is particularly effective for potatoes.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the peel strip 12 can be formed by regularly or randomly providing convex portions as rubbing portions on the surface of a thin metal plate. It is also possible to use a machine that spreads while making a staggered cut with a machine, and then forming the cut into a diamond shape or a turtle shell shape).

  The rotation driving means for the rotary blades 6 disposed on the inner bottom surface of the inner tank 2 is not particularly limited as long as the rotary blades 6 can be rotationally driven. For example, a configuration in which the belt 16 is wound around the drive shaft of the motor 14 and the large-diameter pulley 15 and tension is applied by the tension roller 17 can be considered (see FIGS. 2 and 3). In this case, the rotating shaft 18 of the pulley 15 is protruded from the inner bottom surface of the inner tank 2, and the rotating blade 6 is fixed thereto. Thus, the rotating blade 6 is driven to rotate at a reduced speed by the motor 14.

  When using the vegetable peeler having the above-described configuration, a suitable amount of ginger, taro, potato, etc. to be peeled is put into the inner tub 2, and water is poured to the upper end portion of the upper half 4 of the inner tub 2 and the lid 5 do. In this state, ginger and the like float on the upper half 4 of the inner tank 2. Thereafter, when the motor 14 is started and the rotor blade 6 is rotated, a vortex is generated in the inner tank 2 and the ginger and the like are applied to the edge of each circular hole 13 of the peel strip 12 and the cutting edge of each punching blade 21 by centrifugal force. It is rubbed and rotated while floating in the upper half 4 of the inner layer 2 while rubbing the ginger and the like.

  Ginger or the like rides on the vortex and rubs against the circular hole 13 or the punching blade 21 of the peel strip 12 so that the thin skin is scraped or peeled off. The skin is scraped off by rotating irregularly while rubbing. Since this thin skin removing action is performed by the edge of each circular hole 13 and the cutting edge of a small punching blade 21 which are three-dimensionally configured, even if the vegetable is as small as a ginger and has a rough surface, Effective peeling can be achieved because the peeling action extends to the recesses. The peeling process time performed in this way is, for example, 4 to 6 minutes in the case of 2 kg of ginger.

  The scraped skin is mixed with water as a fine residue and is discharged together with water by removing the drain plug 9 of the water pipe 8 (see FIG. 7). At that time, the residue can be recovered by receiving drainage in a colander or the like.

  In addition, when the protrusion 11 is formed in the inner peripheral surface of the upper half part 4 of the inner tub 2 in the vertical direction at appropriate intervals, it should be used even when the peel strip 12 is removed from the upper half part 4. Can do. This method can be used mainly in the case of soft thin skin ginger and the like, in which case the ginger hits the ridge 11 and the ginger and the like collide with each other to peel off the thin skin.

  As described above, according to the vegetable peeling machine according to the present invention, it is possible to automatically and efficiently perform the peeling operation of vegetables such as ginger having a rough surface with unevenness, which is troublesome, with a simple and compact configuration. Since it can be supplied at a low price, for example, it is suitable for installation in restaurants such as udon chain stores.
