Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is an apparatus for improving the ability to remove skin by mechanically treating the subsequent movements only by the operator placing it on the onion peeling guide of the main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an operator holds an onion between a plurality of fixed air nozzles, peels the green onion while moving the air nozzles back and forth, and repairs them while checking the unpeeled portion. Has been processed.

Therefore, since the operator's hands are always occupied, he cannot move to the next work until the unpeeled residue is confirmed.

[0004]

The problem to be solved by the invention is that the conventional method, which is close to manual work, has a low processing capacity, and when it is necessary to produce market needs, it is inevitable that the worker must work long hours. Moreover, the burden on the operator is large.

Based on the current situation, compressed air is mechanically blown to the part of the onion to be peeled off, and the intermittent operation results in improvement of the treatment capacity, resulting in the dust generated by the peeling. An object of the present invention is to provide an onion peeling device having an onion peeling guide for discharging sand and sand to a designated location in one direction.

[0006]

Although the conventional method has a problem in terms of efficiency, it is the most reliable in terms of accurate processing. From this point, automation similar to the conventional method,
Measure efficiency.

Although a method of applying compressed air by manual work is a method with little loss, it is difficult to prevent loss of compressed air and diffusion of compressed air only by linear movement in an automated air drive device.

Therefore, in order to prevent the compressed air from diffusing to the outside, the onion is inserted into the hollow cylindrical one, and the compressed air is made to flow in the direction of the fiber of the onion, and at the same time, it is also used for collecting peeled skin and sand. .

When it is considered that the green onion is simply inserted into the cylindrical shape, it is impossible from the viewpoint of time efficiency. Therefore, the semi-cylindrical shape is manufactured as a pair of upper and lower parts, and when the operation is required, the apparent cylindrical shape is obtained. To do.

In order to use the above method, the conveyor is intermittently rotated so that the lower semi-cylindrical onion peeling guide is electrically stopped at the same position. The above problem can be achieved by lowering the onion peeling guide from above by using an air driving device to form an apparent cylindrical shape.

Even in the conventional method, peeling defects are generated and are manually repaired. Even in automation, peeling defects are likely to occur. However, it is possible to solve the problem by providing a jig that allows quick and easy repair.

After exiting the main body, it is necessary to repair it by just sticking into the cylinder having air nozzles at equal intervals with the same horizontal direction and the same downward angle, and the sensor indicates that it has been stuck. Equipped with a device that instantly senses and sends compressed air to fix it.

[0013]

The onion peeling guide according to claim 1 is for guiding the compressed air in the fiber direction of the onion by breaking down the leaves of the unnecessary part of the onion, whereby the work of the operator is performed. It is a work of peeling from the work of putting on.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is not necessary to remove the skin just by placing the border between the onion leaf and the stem on the soft and elastic member (A) above the semicylindrical onion peeling guide. There is a risk that compressed air will be added up to this, so it is preferable that the compressed air does not hit the portions that do not need to be stripped.

In order to prevent compressed air from being applied to unnecessary places, a soft and elastic member (A) is placed on and held by the leek peeling guide. There is a leaf spring structure part that exerts a reaction force inside the peeling guide, and the Teflon rubber plate attached to the plate spring becomes a shape that sandwiches the onion from both sides, compressed air does not damage that part

2.

The semi-cylindrical onion peeling guide, when compressed air is applied in the semi-cylindrical shape, causes the onion skin and sand to fly around, and the compressed air also fly around to remove dust after peeling. It is also inefficient in terms of skinning efficiency. The semi-cylindrical shape of the onion peeling guide and the top of the onion peeling guide which are upside down on the intermittent conveyor upper part descends from the top during intermittent operation standby to form a cylindrical shape and compresses therein. Air will be sent in to increase efficiency

3.

The upper part of the onion peeling guide according to claim 3 is 3
There is a book, and the position where the compressed air is sent is shifted, and as a result, the time is shortened.

After the treatment, the green onions that have passed through the apparatus main body come out in a completely peeled state, and some come out in a state in which the hard-to-peel root portion is peeled off. In order to repair the incomplete green onion, repair it by inserting it into a jig that has air nozzles facing the center of the cylinder at equal intervals from the three sides in the same lateral direction and the same downward direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a lateral view of an embodiment of the device of the present invention, in which reference numerals are the same as those in FIG. When the border between the onion leaf and the stem is placed on the onion peeling guide 2, the electric intermittent circuit connected to the motor 11 with the clutch and brake moves the sprocket 7 backward by 1/4 pitch,
After completion of the moving operation, the dustproof cylinder with bellows 5 descends.

In FIG. 2, a soft and elastic member B which descends on the same axis as the dustproof bellows cylinder 5 sandwiches the green onion between the soft and elastic member A, and the onion itself. The compression spring 12 serves to relieve the compression force so as not to damage it.

At the same time as the onion is sandwiched from above and below, the leaf spring 13 installed so as to hold the soft and elastic member A on top of it exerts a reaction force on the inside of the onion peeling guide by the force from above. A Teflon rubber plate fixed to the tip of the leaf spring 13 holds the onion from both sides.

The above-mentioned operation proceeds at the same time, and at the same time when the dustproof cylinder with bellows 5 finishes descending, the cylinder 4 for moving the air nozzle in the direction of the onion fiber is driven. The number of times of driving is 2 or 3 times and can be changed by the sequencer on the electric circuit.

The cylinder 4 is used to move the air nozzle from the front to the back through the gap C between the onion peeling guide 2 and the upper part 3 of the onion peeling guide.
It is fixed to the drive part of the above with piping, and is attached so as to sandwich the gap C from both sides toward the fiber direction of the onion.

As shown in FIG. 1, there are three devices in FIG. 2, and the gaps C are displaced one by one so that air is spread over the entire part of the stalk of the onion.

FIG. 3 is a jig for discharging compressed air according to a fourth aspect of the present invention. When a defective peeling part (mainly a root part) of an onion is inserted into a hollow portion inside, the jig is combined with the jig shown in FIG. Detected with the attached sensor, compressed air blows out at once from the air nozzle 16 which has an angle in the same horizontal direction and the same downward direction, and is a hollow cylinder inside the body 15 of the compressed air discharging jig. Compressed air swirls through the shaped wall,
It is a jig that can easily blow compressed air around the entire onion.

[0026]

As described above, the onion peeling device of the present description has a content that allows an operator to easily work without changing the setup of the conventional work, and most of the work that the worker himself has been doing until now. It can be done mechanically. By reducing the burden on workers, it is possible to meet market needs and carry out planned shipments.

By using the onion peeling guide and the upper part of the onion peeling guide and sending compressed air into it, scattering of skin and dust can be prevented, and the life of the cylinder can be greatly extended.

In addition to the soft and elastic member (A) for placing the boundary between the onion leaves and the stem and the soft and elastic member (B) descending from above, the compression spring is soft and elastic. Since the force applied to a certain member (B) is adjusted, the onion is not scratched.
In addition, a Teflon rubber plate fixed to a leaf spring that exerts a reaction force inside the leek peeling guide when a force is applied from above in the form of holding a soft and elastic member (A) Since air is not added to unnecessary places, there is no worry of peeling off too much.
