Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fruit stem cutting device, in which, for example, a pear is placed on a fruit conveying plate with its stem facing downward and protruding, The purpose is to ensure that the fruit stalk is cut off during transportation.

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

First, we will discuss its configuration.

The fruit conveying plate 1 has a fruit placing section 2 approximately in the middle thereof.
The fruit placing part 2 has an opening 3 on the bottom surface for allowing the fruit stalk a to protrude downward, so that the fruit can be stably placed with the fruit stalk a downward.

The conveyor device 4 has a structure in which both ends of the fruit conveying plate 1 are fixed to a pair of chenles 5.degree. 5' so that the fruit conveying plate 1 can be conveyed.

The rotary blade 6 is mounted on a shaft at a position where it can be viewed from the underside of the fruit conveying plate 1 during its movement and cut the protruding fruit stem a.

The receiving frame 7 is positioned below the rotary blade 6 and below the passage of the opening 3 to guide and support the moving fruit stem a, and is particularly configured to prevent escape during cutting by the rotary blade 6.

In addition, in the drawings shown in the embodiment, the rotary blade 6 is configured to be viewed diagonally from below with respect to the fruit conveying plate 1, and is intended to have a function of preventing the accumulation of cutting waste.
Of course, it may be provided parallel to the fruit conveying plate.

Next, its effect will be explained.

First, the fruit is placed on the fruit placing section 2 with the fruit stalk a facing downward, and the conveyor device 4 is driven to convey the fruit.

In this case, the fruit, such as a pear, is used in its packaging (in the state it was picked from the orchard).

In this way, the fruit stalk a protruding downward from the opening 3 on the bottom surface of the fruit conveying plate 1 is conveyed as it is in the direction of the arrow, and when it reaches the receiving frame 7, its movement in the lateral direction is restricted, and the rotary blade When it reaches 6, the top and bottom are supported and the cut is made securely.

That is, the fruit stem a is cut by the rotary blade 6 acting therebetween, with the fruit side supported by the opening 3 of the fruit placement part 2 and the tip side supported by the above-mentioned receiving frame 7.

In particular, in this case, the fruit stem receives the rotational force of the rotary blade 6 and tries to move toward the lower side of the rotation, but the receiving frame 7 is in that position.
Because of this, it is regulated and does not move, and there is no escape and it is definitely cut down.

As described above, the present invention configures a conveyor by attaching a fruit conveying plate having an opening on the bottom surface through which the fruit stems protrude to an endless belt, and during the movement of the conveyor, the fruit conveying plate is attached to the bottom surface of the fruit conveying plate. A rotary blade for cutting the desired fruit stalk is mounted on a shaft, and a receiving frame is provided below the rotary blade to receive the fruit stalk at least on the lower side of the rotary blade. When cutting, the fruit stem is supported by both the opening of the placement section and the receiving frame 1, and the rotary blade acts while the escape is restricted, resulting in the unique effect of being able to cut more pieces very reliably. It is something.

In addition, as shown in the example, if the rotary blade is configured to look diagonally from below with respect to the fruit conveying plate, even if chips are placed on the blade, they will easily fall off and will not accumulate, and The clearance of the fruit conveying plate can also be easily adjusted.
