Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a stripping device for slender root vegetables such as burdock root, lotus root, and yam.

(Prior Art) As a root vegetable peeling device, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-29916 filed by the inventor of the present invention, a large number of brush rolls are arranged in an arc shape in an aquarium to form a root vegetable. There is known a device for peeling while rolling on the surface of these brush rolls. However, this device is especially suitable for root vegetables such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, and burdock
It has a drawback that it takes a long time to peel long root vegetables such as lotus root.

Therefore, the present inventor first developed a peeling device in which a second brush roll group rotating in the opposite direction is arranged above the first brush roll group rotating in the same direction in a staggered manner, and Japanese Patent Application No. 3
Filed as No. 9634. However, since this device is a type in which root vegetables meander up and down between staggered brush rolls, the force of the brush rolls acts gently on the root vegetables, and for burdock with hard skin partly There was a case where the skin remained. In addition, this device has a drawback that the rotation speed of the brush rolls is adjusted step by step by means of a speed reducer, so that fine adjustment cannot be performed.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can reliably peel even hard-rooted root vegetables, and it can be peeled according to the type of root vegetables. The present invention has been completed to provide an elongated root vegetable peeling device capable of finely adjusting the above conditions.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention made to solve the above problems includes a first height-adjustable first brush roll group rotating in the opposite direction and above the first brush roll group rotating in the same direction. A plurality of peeling units in which the centers of the two brush rolls are vertically aligned are provided in series, and a flat plate is attached between the brush roll groups of each unit at an appropriate interval. The brush roll group is driven by an inverter control motor mounted on the peeling unit, and the brush roll group is driven by an inverter control motor mounted on the frame. The outlet is equipped with a control brush consisting of upper and lower brush rolls that can control the rotation speed independently of the peeling unit. It is a characteristic.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

(1) is a frame having a water receiver (2) over the entire length, and two peeling units (3) and (4) are provided in series on the frame (1).

Each peeling unit (3), (4) comprises a lower first brush roll group (5) and an upper brush roll group (6) provided above it. First brush roll group (5)
Is rotatably supported by the frame (1), and the sprockets (8) at the shaft ends of the brush rolls (7) are connected to each other by a chain (9). It is rotated in the same direction by the belt (11) by means of 10). The belt (11) drives the shaft end opposite to the sprocket (8). The second brush roll group (6) is hung from the upper part of the frame (1) by a hanging bolt (12) so that its height can be adjusted freely.
The first brush roll group (5) is driven by an inverter control motor (13) provided on the peeling unit (3) via a chain drive mechanism similar to the first brush roll group (5).
Is rotated in the opposite direction. The peeling unit (3)
Since the peeling unit (4) and the peeling unit (4) are connected by the chain (9a) between the sprocket (8) and (8) of the brush rolls (7) and (7) that are adjacent to each other, both units are The brush roll (7) will be rotated at the same speed. The height of the second brush roll group (6) is adjusted depending on the type and size of root vegetables, but since the inverter control motor (13) also moves up and down at the same time, there is no problem in driving. In the present invention, both the peeling units (3) and (4) are the brush rolls (7) of the first brush roll group (5) and the brush rolls (7) of the second brush roll group (6). Each center is aligned vertically so that root vegetables can be sandwiched from above and below at the same time. As shown in FIG. 2, a flat plate (1) is provided between the first brush roll group (5) and the second brush roll group (6).
4) are attached at appropriate intervals and are regulated so that root vegetables that are sandwiched between the upper and lower brush rolls (7) do not bend laterally.

A brush roll (1) is vertically arranged at the intermediate portion of these peeling units (3) and (4) and at the inlet and outlet of the entire apparatus.
A control brush (17) provided with (5) and (16) is provided. These three control brushes (17)
Is driven by the motor (18) at the bottom of the frame (1)
The upper and lower brush rolls (15) and (16) are driven in opposite directions by the driving method as shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 4, the intermediate sprocket (20) is provided at a position far from the drive sprocket (19), and the upper brush roll (15) of the control brush (17) farther from this is driven. This is because even if the upper brush roll (15) is moved up and down in the same manner as the second brush roll group (6), the power can be transmitted without any trouble. All three control brushes (17) rotate at the same speed, but the rotation speed can be controlled independently of the peeling units (3) and (4).

(Operation) In order to use the stripping apparatus for slender root vegetables of the present invention configured as described above, first, each stripping unit (3),
While rotating the first brush roll group (5) and the second brush roll group (6) of (4) in mutually opposite directions, while rotating each control brush (17) at a speed slightly lower than these. Inlet control brush (17)
Insert root vegetables such as burdock vertically between the upper and lower brush rolls (15) and (16). Then, the root vegetables proceed while the feeding speed is regulated by the control brush (17), are first sandwiched between the brush rolls (7) of the peeling unit (3) from above and below, and are bent laterally by the flat plate (14). The surface is scraped and peeled as if it were not present. Next, the root vegetables enter the second peeling unit (4) with the feeding speed regulated by the central control brush (17) and are peeled in the same manner as above, and are discharged from the control brush (17) at the outlet. It As described above, in the present invention, the root vegetables are flat plate (1) between the first brush roll group (5) and the second brush roll group (6) arranged with their centers aligned vertically.
Since it is peeled off by the brush roll (7) in a state of being partitioned by 4), a stronger and more reliable peeling effect can be obtained compared to the conventional device in which the upper and lower brush rolls are arranged in a zigzag pattern. You can In addition, the peeling unit (3),
(4) is provided in series, and the entrance part, central part,
Since the control brush (17) that can control the number of revolutions independently is arranged at the outlet, the surface of the root can be strongly scraped by each brush roll (7) while suppressing the progressing speed of root vegetables. It is possible to completely eliminate peeling. The peeling effect is the control brush (17) and the brush roll (7) of the peeling units (3) and (4).
In the present invention, both the peeling units (3) and (4) are driven by the inverter control motors (10) and (13), so that the rotation speed can be adjusted with one touch. It is possible and a peeling effect can be obtained according to the type and size of root vegetables. Moreover, according to the drive mechanism of the embodiment, when the type of root vegetables, that is, the diameter or softness is different, the unit (3) is moved up and down to change the height of the second upper brush roll group (6). It is only necessary to change the pressure contact force with the root vegetables. At this time, since the inverter control motor (13) is provided on the unit (3),
The tension of chains and belts hardly changes, and stable driving is always possible.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, the present invention is capable of completely peeling root vegetables such as burdock with a hard skin and soft root vegetables such as yam, and it takes only a few seconds. ,
What's more, you can peel multiple pieces at the same time. Further, according to the present invention, the peeling conditions can be finely changed according to the type and size of root vegetables, which is also convenient for preventing the reduction of the surface by cutting the surface. Therefore, the present invention is an elongated root vegetable peeling device that eliminates the conventional problems,
Its practical value is extremely large.
