In FIG. 1, reference numeral 70 denotes a water tank for receiving the processed bar-shaped vegetables b, in which the bar-shaped vegetables b which have been processed are fed out by the discharging means 8 and dropped, and one of the cutting scraps generated during cutting. Part or whole is received and temporarily retained.

The clear water in the water tank 70 is pumped up by a water supply means 71 such as a submersible pump to sprinkle water on the cutting position by the cutting means 6 to promote cutting and prevent clogging of cutting chips, and further cutting. It is used to discharge waste,
The supplied water drops into the water tank 70 again and is circulated by the water supply means 71. Although not shown, cutting waste may be carried out by providing a discharge chute in the machine frame.

Next, the operation of cutting off the epidermis b1 of the radish b using the bar-shaped vegetable peeling apparatus A according to the above-described embodiment will be described.

Three sets of gripping means 2 supported on the machine frame 1
Since the supply path 3 for transferring the radish b in the axial direction is formed by 2 and 2, when the radish b is vertically inserted into the supply path 3 from the charging port 64, the radish b is stored in the supply path 3.

Then, the cylinder 25 in the operating means 4
When the rotary plates 12 and 13 of the tuning means c provided above and below the gripping means 2 are swung by operating the pin 20, the pin 20 of the lever 18 moves along the locking holes 21 and 22. , The lever 18 is rotated, and the support shaft 9 is an arc-shaped long hole 1
0 and 11 are moved to move the holding plate 2a of the grip means 2 inward.

Therefore, the supply passage 3 is closed by the gripping means 2, 2, 2 to grip the outer circumference of the radish b with a predetermined pressure, and the cutting means 6 is set substantially at the center of rotation.

At this time, since the outer circumference of the stick-shaped vegetable b is uniformly pressed by the gripping means 2, 2, 2, even if it has a bend, the bend is corrected and becomes a straight shape. Besides, vegetable b can be processed in the same way whether it is integrally connected or divided into several pieces.
Moreover, the length of the vegetable b is not particularly limited in the treatment.

Further, when the cylinder 30 of the feeding means 5 is operated so that the pressing body 32 is brought into contact with the upper end of the radish b and the pressing body 32 is further extended, the radish b is extended toward the cutting means 6. .

Then, the respective abutting portions 40 of the cutting means 6 are radish b as shown in FIGS. 9 (b) to 9 (f).
The blade tip 36 is swayed around the spindle 39 by being pushed by the blade tip 36, and the blade tip 36 corresponds to the epidermis of the radish b. Moreover, since the ammunition machine 37 always pushes the contact portion 40 to the radish b side, Is constantly applied with a predetermined cutting pressure.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the radish b is fed out by the feeding means 5 while the cutting means 6 is being rotated by the driving means 7, as shown in FIG. Since the cutting edge 36 of 6 cuts the skin surface of the radish b and rotates the peripheral surface of the radish b, it is continuously and automatically peeled.

The radish b which has been stripped is successively discharged by the discharging means 8 provided below the cutting means 6 and discharged into the water tank 70 below it.

Thus, when the slicing of one radish b is completed, the operating means 4 is operated to operate the gripping means 2, 2 and 2, and when the supply path 3 is opened, the next radish b is inserted. Since it is possible, the blade object 35 in the cutting means 6 is returned to the original standby position by the bullet 37 as shown in FIG. 9 (g).

Therefore, if the same operation as described above is repeated, the epidermis of the radish b is cut off, no operator is required during cutting, and several people can operate by themselves. The efficiency of peeling the radish b can be improved.

[0054]

As described above, in the peeling apparatus for bar-shaped vegetables of the present invention, a plurality of gripping means attached to the machine frame can be operated synchronously so that the bar-shaped vegetables can always be set at a fixed gripping position. Since it can be done, there is no delusion due to the cutting means or the rotation resistance of the stick-shaped vegetables during cutting of the stick-shaped vegetables, and stable processing / processing can be performed from the beginning to the end of cutting.
The epidermis of the stick-shaped vegetables is cut to obtain a clean product.

Further, the processed stick-shaped vegetables in the transfer path of the stick-shaped vegetables are not forcibly pulled out by the discharging means to be jammed in the machine frame or the processing is not delayed. And so on.
