(23) can be rotated continuously.

<Peeling mechanism (5)>
The peeling mechanism (5) is also disposed in the peeling station (15), and as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, 8, and 9, the stick-like vegetable (91) supported by the vegetable support mechanism (2) is provided. ) Two endless peeler conveying sections (61), (61) facing from the inside to the outside and extending in the vertical direction, and a plurality of peelers (70), (70) attached to the peeler conveying sections (61) (61) And has.
The two peeler transfer units (61) and (61) form a peeled space (67) facing each other so that the transfer surface sandwiches the stick-shaped vegetable (91) from inside and outside.

In the present embodiment, each peeler transport section (61) is constituted by an endless conveyor chain (62), and the chain block of the conveyor chain (62) is for attaching the peeler (70) as shown in FIG. With attachments (63) and (63). As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the two peeler transfer units (61) and (61) span the power transmission chain (66) over the driving wheel (55) and the driven wheel (56) (56) (56). And is driven to rotate synchronously. The peeler conveying units (61) and (61) constituted by endless chains are shifted downward synchronously on the peeled space (67) side and continuously circulate and rotate at a constant speed.
For example, when the vegetable support mechanism (2) is located on the peeled space (67) side, the peeler conveying unit (61) (61) has a peeler concentration area of the peeler conveying unit (61) (61) as described later. It is set to pass through the peeled space (67).

  As shown in FIG. 9, each peeler (70) attached to the peeler transport unit (61) is formed with a blade (71) and a substantially U-shaped fork, and the blade (71) is pivotably attached to the peeler (70). The support part (77) (77) to be attached, the mounting plate (75) attached on the attachment (63) (63) of the peeler transfer part (61), and the support part (77) (77) are fixed to the tip. The base end is fixed to the mounting plate (75), and from the L-shaped leaf spring (73) that urges the blade (71) toward the rod-shaped vegetable (91) within the range regulated by the stopper (79) Can be configured.

  The support portions (77) and (77) are preferably made of a metal elastic body. Accordingly, the support portions (77) and (77) can be elastically deformed to increase the width, and the blade (71) can be removed or replaced.

  The mounting plate (75) can be exemplified by a plate-like resin having a long side in the transport direction. The mounting plate (75) is fixed on the chain block attachment (63) (63) by screwing etc., and the mounting plate (75) is hung on the conveyor chain (62) of the peeler transport section (61). The peeler transport unit (61) can be smoothly rotated without interfering with the rotation of the chain (62) when passing through the existing sprocket, and since it is made of resin, the contact noise with the chain (62) should be reduced. Can do. In addition, since the mounting plate (75) is fixed on the chain block attachment (63) (63), the peeler (70) is compared with the case where the peeler (70) is directly attached to the chain block via the leaf spring (73). The pressing force applied to 70) is transmitted to the mounting plate (75) via the leaf spring (73), and the mounting plate (75) distributes this pressing force over a wide range in the transport direction of the peeler transport section (61). Therefore, the peeler (70) is stabilized at the attachment portion with the peeler transport unit (61), and it is difficult to fall down.

  Regarding the mounting interval of the peeler (70) (70) on the peeler transfer part (61), the opposing peeler transfer part (61) (61) is located when the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is located in the peeled space (67), respectively. Peeler concentration area (Fig. 6) in which a plurality of peelers (70) and (70) are concentrated and arranged in the conveying direction and bar-shaped vegetables (91) enter and leave the peeling space (67). A peeler absent region (FIG. 5) in which the peeler is eliminated so that the peeler (70) does not sometimes exist is formed.

  The peeler transport unit (61) (61) is set so that the peeler absence area of both the peeler transport unit (61) (61) appears in the peeled space (67) by circulating and rotating. ), When the peeler (70) is not present, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) can smoothly feed the vegetable support mechanism (2) to the peeled space (67) as described above.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the plurality of peelers (70) (70) arranged in the peeler concentration region of one peeler transport section (61) is the other peeler transport section facing each other in the peeled space (67). (61) The plurality of peelers (70) and (70) are alternately shifted by a half pitch in the transport direction, i.e., one of the plurality of peelers (70) and (70) is opposed to the other plurality of peelers (70) (70). ) And (70) are arranged so that their heights are offset and face each other, and the opposing peelers (70) and (70) are prevented from contacting each other in the peeled space (67). In addition, when performing the peeling operation as described later, if the peeler (70) (70) is opposed at the same height, only the even surface can be peeled, but the peeler (70) (70) is shifted by a half pitch, Because the number of peelers (70) and (70) is different between the peeler transport parts (61) and (61), and the rotation angle of the rod-shaped vegetables (91) can be adjusted, the number of peeled surfaces can be made odd. It is easy to set so as to prevent yield deterioration due to excessive peeling.

  The number of peelers (70) and (70) attached in the peeler concentration region can be appropriately changed according to the thickness of the bar-shaped vegetable (91) to be peeled, as will be described later.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the peeling mechanism (5) is projected from the inside of each peeler transfer section (61) toward the peeling space (67), and the peeler transfer section (61) It is desirable to provide a supporter (65) provided with a rail (64) extending along the transport direction and fitted to the conveyor chain (62) of the peeler transport section (61). The peeler transport unit (61) moves along the rail (64) and, as will be described later, when the peeler (70) peels the stick-shaped vegetable (91), it is bent inward of the chain (62). Is supported by the rail (64) and prevented. Also, the peeler conveying portion (61) is twisted in the axial rotation direction of the rod-shaped vegetable (91) through the peeler (70) due to the shaft rotation of the rod-shaped vegetable (91), but is supported by the rail (64). Twisting is prevented.

  Below the peeling mechanism (5), as shown in FIG. 1, a waste container (95) for receiving peeled waste (93) can be provided.

<Vegetable feeding mechanism (4)>
The vegetable feed mechanism (4) intermittently feeds each vegetable support mechanism (2) to each station (13) (15) (17).

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) is arranged at the center of a virtual circle where the stations (13), (15) and (17) are arranged, and includes a motor (41) and a motor (41 ), And the four vegetable support mechanisms (2), (2), (2), (2), and (2) (2) (2) ) In the vertical direction, four rod-like support arms (45) (45) (45) (45). The support arm (45) is disposed so as to pass between the height of the vegetable shaft rotation mechanism (3) and the height of the peeling mechanism (5) in the peeling station (15).

In this embodiment, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) includes 4 stops and re-rotations during one rotation of the turntable (43), thereby making each vegetable support mechanism (2) 3 on the virtual circumference. Two stations (13), (15), and (17) are set to stop once.
More specifically, the motor (41) senses that the vegetable support mechanism (2) has passed any position between the stations (13), (15) and (17) by a sensor (not shown), and The rotation speed is reduced at the timing, the vegetable support mechanism (2) is stopped in each station (13) (15) (17), and then the rotation is started again after a predetermined stop time has elapsed. . As a result, the motor (41) rotates the rotating table (43) intermittently to rotate the four vegetable support mechanisms (2), (2), (2), and (2) together, and the vegetable support mechanism ( 2) (2) (2) (2) are sent to various stations (13), (15) and (17) sequentially and intermittently.

The stop time of the motor (41) is set, for example, to be a time sufficient for the operation of setting the rod-shaped vegetables (91) on the vegetable support mechanism (2) in the supply station (13).
And, the rotation time of the motor (41) is, for example, while the peeler absence region part of the peeler transfer unit (61) (61) passes through the peeling space (67) in the peeling station (15). The vegetable support mechanism (2) is withdrawn from the peeled space (67), and a time sufficient for the next vegetable support mechanism (2) to enter the peeled space (67) and stop again is set.

<Heta cutting mechanism (8)>
The cutlet cutting mechanism (8) is arranged at the collection station (17), cuts the cutout of the peeled sticky vegetables (91), and removes the sticky vegetables (91) from the vegetable support mechanism (2). .

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cutting mechanism (8) is located slightly above the upper end of the lower support shaft (23) of the vegetable support mechanism (2) that has been sent, 91) a flat blade (81) for cutting the sticky portion, an extruded plate (85) erected on the rear side of the flat blade (81) with respect to the rod-shaped vegetable (91), a flat blade (81) and The extrusion plate (85) may be configured to include an air cylinder (83) that reciprocally moves with respect to the rod-shaped vegetable (91).

  Below the cutlet cutting mechanism (8), as shown in FIG. 1, a shoot (99) that peels and peels the sticky vegetable (91) that has been cut off, and a stick that rolls the chute (99) A vegetable collection container (97) for collecting the vegetables (91) can be provided.

  As described above, the peeling apparatus (1) of the present invention includes a vegetable support mechanism (2), a vegetable shaft rotation mechanism (3), a peeling mechanism (5), a vegetable feed mechanism (4), And a cutting mechanism (8).

<Supplying stick-shaped vegetables (91)>
Next, the peeling operation of the sticky vegetables (91) such as carrots by the above-described peeling device (1) will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 7, the vegetable support mechanism (2) in a state where the bar-shaped vegetable (91) is not set is stopped at the supply station (13). The operator holds the stick-shaped vegetable (91) in one hand, slides the upper support plate (29) with the other hand, and moves the end of the stick-shaped vegetable (91) on the lower support shaft (23 ) Put the cruciform protrusion (24) at the top. Next, the upper support plate (29) is slid down, and the needle-like protrusion (28) of the upper support plate (29) is pierced into the tip of the rod-like vegetable (91).
In addition, since the needle-like protrusion (28) is difficult to stick when the upper end on the small diameter side of the rod-like vegetable (91) is elongated, it is desirable to cut the tip in advance to form a flat portion.
With the above operation, as shown in FIG. 2, the rod-shaped vegetable (91) is supported at both ends in the longitudinal direction at the supply station (13) so that the rod-shaped vegetable (91) can be pivoted by the vegetable support mechanism (2). Supplied.

  After that, the vegetable support mechanism (2) is released from the supply station (13) after the vegetable feed mechanism (4) has made a quarter turn, and the bar-shaped vegetable (91) is still set in the supply station (13). No new vegetable support mechanism (2) is sent. In order to continue the peeling operation of the stick-shaped vegetable (91), the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is similarly set to the new vegetable support mechanism (2).

<Peeling action of stick-shaped vegetables (91)>
When the vegetable feed mechanism (4) further rotates by a quarter of a turn, the vegetable support mechanism (2) on which the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is set first is the peeler mechanism (5) formed in the peeler station (15). Enter the peeled space (67). At this time, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the both peeler transfer units (61) and (61) are in the peeled space (67) when the peeler-free area is waiting.

  When the vegetable support mechanism (2) enters the peeled space (67), the rotating disc (21) at the lower end of the lower support shaft (23) is positioned below the vegetable support mechanism (2). ) Approaches the turntable (38). Since the rotating disk (21) and the rotating table (38) are equipped with neodymium magnets to attract each other, the rotating table (38) attracts the rotating disk (21) with a strong magnetic force, so that the rotating table (38) The feed rotation by the vegetable feed mechanism (4) can be stopped suddenly while facing the rotating disk (21). Further, since the turntable (38) is continuously rotated by the motor (33), the rotating disk (21) and the lower support shaft (23) fixed to the rotating disk (21) are driven by the magnetic force. The rod-shaped vegetable (91) begins to rotate. In this way, the rod-shaped vegetable (91) rotates continuously in the peeling space (67) of the peeling mechanism (5).

  While the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is rotating in the peeled space (67), both peeler conveying units (61) and (61) of the peeling mechanism (5) have a plurality of pieces as shown in FIG. The peeler concentration area where the peelers (70) and (70) are concentrated is continuously conveyed in the same direction from top to bottom.

  Both peeler conveyors (61) and (61) elastically move the blades (71) and (71) of the peelers (70) and (70) against the rod-shaped vegetables (91) from both sides by leaf springs (73) and (73). It moves continuously in the downward direction while pressing. Therefore, the rod (71) is in contact with the rod-shaped vegetable (91) by the continuous axial rotation of the rod-shaped vegetable (91) and the continuous movement of the peeler (70) (70) in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped vegetable (91). The peeled portion is spirally stripped at a substantially constant width, and the scrap (93) is generated.

The blade (71) of the peeler (70) is pivotally mounted by the support portions (77) and (77) and is pressed against the rod-shaped vegetable (91) via the leaf spring (73). Even if the diameter of the vegetable (91) changes in the axial direction and the sticky vegetable (91) has some thickness difference or bend, it follows this change and advances and retreats in the horizontal direction, and peels without trouble. Can do.
Also, since the plurality of blades (71) (71) of the peeler (70) (70) are pressed against the rod-shaped vegetable (91) from both sides, the horizontal force is balanced and the rod-shaped vegetable (91) rotating on the axis There is no possibility that the stick-shaped vegetables (91) fall off from the vegetable support mechanism (2) during peeling.

  The blades (71) and (71) of the peeler (70) and (70) form a spiral cut surface of 15 faces with respect to the stick-shaped vegetables (91) up to 70 mm in diameter so that the entire circumference of the stick-shaped vegetables (91) , The rotation speed of the rod-shaped vegetable (91) by the vegetable axis rotation mechanism (3), the transfer speed of the peelers (70) (70) by the peeling mechanism (5), and the peeler transfer section (61 The number of peelers (70) and (70) attached in the peeler concentration area of 16) is, for example, 16 in total by the peeler conveyors (61) and (61) while the rod-shaped vegetables (91) are rotated by 190 degrees. It is desirable to set so that the peelers (70) and (70) pass through the rod-shaped vegetables (91) at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction.

  According to this setting, when peeling a stick-shaped vegetable (91) up to a diameter of 70 mm, the remaining portion of the stick-shaped vegetable (91) peeled spirally by the first peeler (70) Can be peeled in a spiral manner one after another by the second and subsequent peelers (70), and a total of 15 surfaces covering the entire circumference can be peeled. Here, since only one peeler (70) has already peeled the already peeled surface, the sticky vegetable (91) is peeled off even if the diameter of the sticky vegetable (91) slightly exceeds 70 mm. You can peel without fail.

  If the surface of the sticky vegetable (91) has large irregularities, and the unpeeled residue occurs after one peel, change the above setting to peel the sticky vegetable (91) twice. Good.

  In addition, when peeling sticky vegetables (91) such as burdock, which is smaller in diameter than carrots, the area ratio of the peeled surface increases, so the number of peelers (70) (70) is reduced. Remove the blade (71) by removing the other by leaving only the required number or removing the blade (71) by elastically deforming the support parts (77) (77) of the peeler (70) and expanding the width. Reduce. In accordance with this, by adjusting the shaft rotation speed of the rod-shaped vegetables (91) and the conveying speed of the peelers (70) (70), it is possible to prevent the yield deterioration due to excessive peeling.

  While peeling, the blade (71) of the peeler (70) presses the stick-shaped vegetable (91) to generate a force to push the peeler transport unit (61) inward, but the peeler transport unit (61) Since the rail (64) of the supporter (65) fits and contacts the back surface of the peeler transport unit (61), the peeler transport unit (61) is prevented from being bent. Further, the rail (64) prevents twisting of the peeler transport unit (61) in the axial rotation direction due to the axial rotation of the rod-shaped vegetable (91). Therefore, the blade (71) can be pressed against the rod-shaped vegetable (91) at a constant angle, and the peel width of the rod-shaped vegetable (91) can be stabilized.

  In this embodiment, the scrap (93) generated by peeling is peeled in a state where the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is erected. Will not scatter.

<Cutting action of sticky vegetables (91)>
When the peeler concentration area of the peeler transport section (61) passes through the peel space (67) and the peeler absent area is then transported, the peeling at the peel station (15) ends. After that, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) starts to rotate again so as to peel off the magnetic attraction of the rotating disk (21) and the rotating table (38) of the vegetable support mechanism (2), and the stick-shaped vegetable that has been peeled off. The vegetable support mechanism (2) that supports (91) is sent to the cutting mechanism (8) located at the collection station (17).

  When the stick-shaped vegetable (91) is placed in front of the sticker cutting mechanism (8), the flat blade (81) is pushed out by the air cylinder (83) to cut the sticky portion of the stick-shaped vegetable (91). (85) moves forward and the stick-shaped vegetable (91) that has been cut off is pushed to the side. As a result, the axis of the rod-shaped vegetable (91) is shifted with respect to the vegetable support mechanism (2), and the rod-shaped vegetable (91) falls out of the rod-shaped protrusion (28) due to gravity, rolls the chute (99), and the vegetable collection container ( 97).

  In the vegetable support mechanism (2), the cut piece is left pierced on the lower support shaft (23), but is then sent again to the supply station (13) by the vegetable feed mechanism (4) for work. When the person removes the sticky portion by hand, the bar-like vegetable (91) can be peeled anew.

  As described above, each time the vegetable feed mechanism (4) rotates the vegetable support mechanism (2) by a quarter of a turn, the worker moves the vegetable support mechanism (2) to the vegetable support mechanism (2) with a rod-shaped vegetable (91). ) Is continuously set, bar-shaped vegetables (91) that have been peeled and have their cut-off portions cut off can be collected one after another in a vegetable collection container (97).

  According to the present invention, the blades (71) (71) of the plurality of peelers (70) (70) are continuously moved while the rod-shaped vegetable (91) is continuously rotated in the peeled space (67). Since the entire circumference of the bar-shaped vegetable (91) can be peeled by moving it in pressure contact, the peeling time per bar-shaped vegetable (91) can be greatly shortened, and the productivity is improved.

In addition, the worker only has to set the stick-shaped vegetable (91) to the vegetable support mechanism (2) at the supply station (13). Peeling and recovery at the recovery station (17) is completed, so that the working efficiency is good and the processing cost can be greatly reduced.
Moreover, since the vegetable feed mechanism (4) feeds the vegetable support mechanism (2), the operator has few opportunities to approach the blade, and the safety of the operator is ensured.

  Feeding and removing the bar-shaped vegetables (91) to and from the peeling station (15) is synchronized with the timing when the peeler-free area of the peeler transport unit (61) (61) during continuous movement is passing through the peeling space (67). Smooth operation is possible.

  In addition, each part structure of this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation is possible within the technical scope as described in a claim.

For example, when there are two stations, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) can be configured to intermittently reciprocate and feed the vegetable support mechanism (2) between stations on a virtual straight line. .
Moreover, even if the number of stations increases to 4 or more, the vegetable feed mechanism (4) rotates the vegetable support mechanism (2) to each station by arranging these stations on the virtual circumference at equal intervals. Can be set to stop once.

  Further, the flat cutting mechanism (8) can be configured to operate the flat blade (81) and the extrusion plate (85) independently.

  The present invention continuously rotates the rod-shaped vegetable at the same time and simultaneously moves a plurality of peeler blades in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped vegetable in pressure contact with the rod-shaped vegetable, and the rod-shaped vegetable is moved by one movement of the peeler. It is useful as a peeling device that peels the entire circumference.
