Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for peeling various root vegetables such as porridge (hereinafter simply referred to as porpoise) by polishing, which has a high yield and can be peeled at high speed.

Traditionally, the first thing to do when peeling the skin of Togosei etc.

The process was done by hand by washing with water to remove the dirt from Goho, and then making knives and hand peeling tools.

If it's a small amount, it's okay, but if it's a large amount, not only the area around the washing machine but also the workers will be sprayed with mud.
In addition to deteriorating the working environment, the manual peeling process causes a considerable amount of fatigue to accumulate not only in the hands and fingers, but also in the wrists, joints, shoulders, etc. Furthermore, as the fatigue and numbness of the fingers and arms increase, the skin may become deep or scratchy. This resulted in peeling of the skin, resulting in a decrease in efficiency and yield.

On the other hand, some machines have been proposed that use a pair of rollers to peel vegetables; As the peeling process progresses,
Mud fills the brush and reduces the peeling effect, so not only does a washing process with water be necessary to remove the dirt, but the peeled debris also accumulates inside the plan, significantly impairing the peeling effect. That was the result.

The present invention focuses on the current state of conventional skin peeling as described above, and is intended to significantly improve this.

Based on the peeling effect of polishing, a plurality of elastic strip members to which abrasive material is attached are attached to a pair of drum-shaped rollers at appropriate intervals, and the elasticity of one elastic strip member and the abrasive action of the abrasive material are utilized. The present invention is characterized by a structure for efficiently and reliably peeling the skin of tegoho etc.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view showing the outline of the peeling device of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the same, and FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the state during peeling work.

In these figures, 1 and 2 are a pair of drum-shaped rollers with a concave central part forming the base of the peeling roller of the present invention. They are arranged at a predetermined interval so as to rotate in opposite directions while facing each other by a drive source (not shown).

In this case, the distance between the two shafts 1' and 2' can be adjusted to suit the size of the single object to be processed, such as the passing midday current. Each recess 1a.

It is an elastic piece member that is attached to the circumferential surface of 2a at appropriate intervals by screws 6 through abutment 5 at its base. An elastic piece member 3 is attached.

The details of this elastic piece member 3 are as shown in FIG.
It is made of synthetic leather rubber, other flexible materials, or cushioning foam material, and is shaped like a ginkgo leaf to fit into the concave part of the drum-shaped roller.The base is narrowed, and the expanded tip has two rows of small holes. A small piece of circular abrasive material 4 is attached.

Note that the shape and material of the first elastic piece member 3 are important factors in peeling the skin of porridge, etc., and the above-mentioned configuration allows it to easily conform to the shape of the object to be treated.

Further, the abrasive material is made of ordinary sandpaper or other abrasive paper cloth, and can be attached to the elastic piece member 3 in the form of small pieces of various shapes such as not only the small circular shape shown in the figure but also square, triangular, polygonal, or rectangular shapes. be able to.

However, when adhering, the abrasive material 4 is deposited in one or more than two rows along the side of the tip, but especially in the case of multiple rows as in the illustrated example, the abrasive material 4 in each row is aligned with that in the adjacent row. It is more effective to shift the phase so that they are not lined up in a line and arrange them alternately.

Then, the elastic piece member 3 is inserted into the recess 1a of each roller 1, 2.
When attaching to the outer periphery of 2a, in the case of a flexible elastic material, in order to improve the cushioning properties, a buffer piece 7 made of sponge or the like is brought into contact with the back surface and fixed together with screws 6 as shown in FIG. Attach.

At this time, when the object to be processed passes between the pair of rollers 1 and 2, the tip of the elastic piece member 3 is intended to perform a polishing action in the direction in which the object is sent out.

It should be installed so that it extends backwards from the direction of rotation.

In FIG. 1, both opposing elastic pieces of the object passage section are shown with one side of the backside cushioning visible as they rotate in the direction of feeding out the object.

Note that 1 elastic piece member 3. The peeling attachment consisting of the buffer piece 7 can be easily replaced by removing the screw 6, and in addition to the attachment itself, coarse, medium, and fine abrasives are attached.
It is preferable to prepare multiple types depending on the type of rice cake.

Further, it is also a suitable arrangement method to appropriately mix and arrange these abrasive materials having different abrasive properties on the outer peripheral surface of one drum-shaped roller 1 or 2.

Of course, if a guide is provided at the entrance to pre-regulate the thickness of the grains to be peeled, the thickness can be averaged to a certain extent, and then The peeling process will also become more efficient.

Next, to describe the operation of the peeling device of the present invention as described above, first, when the pair of upper and lower drum-shaped rollers 1 and 2 are rotated in opposite directions with their recesses 1a and 2a facing each other, the pair of upper and lower rollers 1 and 2 are rotated in opposite directions. The elastic piece members 3 attached to the central recesses 1a, 2a of the drum-shaped rollers 1, 2 are integrated with the shock absorbing pieces 7, such as sponges, on the back, and their tips are swung outward by centrifugal force. It spreads to the concave portions 1a and 2a.

At this time. The tip end shape of the elastic piece member 3 is shaped like the recesses 1a and 2a.
Since it is shaped like a ginkgo leaf to be compatible with the above, it closes the object insertion space formed by the concave portion where the pair of rollers 1 and 20 are mated.

In this state, if you hold one end of the object A to be peeled with your hand and insert the tip side into the insertion space, the elastic piece member 3. Due to its elasticity, the peeled portion consisting of the buffer piece 7 curves along the outer shape of the object A as shown in FIG. This adds a layer of peeling action to the soil and mud that has adhered to the outer circumferential surface.

At this time, unlike the conventional rubbing with a brush, the abrasive material 4 is used to polish the object A by moving it in and out several times, and the peeled skin is separated into fine pieces or pulp, and the peeling work is completed. do.

Thus, when the peeling work on one tip side is completed, the opposite side, that is, the tip side, is grasped and the unprocessed side is worked in the same manner to complete the entire peeling work.

In this way, the object A to be treated, such as a boar, can be efficiently peeled from the thick part at the root to the thin part at the tip.

In addition, in the treatment of dirt and mud, etc., in order to remove the dirt and peeled skin debris, a pair of rollers 1 and 2 are used as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 2. Injecting water through the water injection nozzle 8 from above and below improves the working environment and makes the work easier.

Further, although the recessed portion of the drum-shaped roller in the above example is semicircular in the illustrated example, it is not necessarily limited to the semicircular shape, and a groove shape such as a semihexagonal shape can also have the same effect. This is where the idea comes from.

As described above, the peeling device of the present invention has a pair of drum-shaped rollers, each of which has an abrasive material adhered to the recessed portions facing each other, and is equipped with elastic piece members shaped to fit the plurality of recessed portions. It has various advantages such as:

(1) Conventionally, it was necessary to first remove the mud by washing with water, etc., but in the present invention, since an abrasive action is added, peeling can be performed without the need for a washing process.

Therefore, they are not exposed to mud spray during peeling, and the processing time is also shortened.

In addition, the so-called "stain" caused by twisted skin can be quickly removed at the same time as peeling.

(2) Since the peeling is carried out using an abrasive material attached to the elastic piece member, the elasticity of the elastic piece member allows the elastic piece member to sufficiently conform to the shape of the object to be processed, so that each object to be processed has thick and thin parts. Even if the workpiece is thick and thin, it can absorb a certain degree of dimensional difference and can be peeled under uniform pressure on average.

(3) Since the peeling is done by polishing with an abrasive material, the peeling waste becomes fine pieces and takes up a small volume, making it very easy to dispose of.

(4) Since the elastic piece member can be easily replaced as an attachment, it can be replaced according to one type at any time, and can also be replaced when the abrasive material wears out.

Furthermore, by using different abrasives for different grains, medium grains, fine grains, etc., it is possible to reliably remove the skin according to the object to be treated.

(5) Since polishing with an abrasive material is surface polishing, there is no unnecessary peeling, and the yield after peeling is improved.

The test results showed that an improvement of 10% or more was virtually certain.

(6) Workability is improved by combining the above-mentioned effects.

Not only can worker fatigue be greatly reduced, but also the peeling efficiency can be significantly improved.

The present invention is particularly suitable for use in peeling the skin of Gotsutomu, which is used for Goseten.

In addition, a plurality of pairs of rollers according to the present invention are used,
If the axes are arranged perpendicular to each other, more damaging peeling can be achieved.
