Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a machine for removing hair roots from harvested garlic bulbs.

Previously, the applicant proposed a garlic bulb root removal machine that mechanically removes the hair roots in order to streamline the process of removing the hair roots when harvested garlic bulbs are shipped to the market (utility model). Registration No. 1433816).

In the past, harvested garlic bulbs were dried naturally without cutting the stems and using the stems as hanging parts, but recently, in order to increase the amount shipped to the market and to shorten the time, after cutting the stems and roots, The method used is to put it in a container and dry it in a dryer.

The present invention has been improved in view of these points, and provides a machine for removing the roots of garlic bulbs that can safely remove the stems and roots without requiring much time and effort. be.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates the main body of a garlic bulb root removing machine, which has a housing 3 formed on the upper part of a frame 2, and a rotating shaft 5 is pivotally mounted between opposing side plates 4a and 4b of the frame 3. Rotating shaft 5
A disc-shaped cutter 6 with a cemented carbide tip attached to the side plate 4a is fixed to the same protruding end, and a spherical drill-shaped cutter 7 is fixed to the side plate 4b.

The disc-shaped cutter 6 is covered with a case 9 that can be opened and closed by a hinge 8, and a garlic bulb that can be moved in parallel is supported on the outer surface 10 of the case 9. A guide 11 for contact is formed.

The guide is then automatically returned to its original position by the leaf spring 12.

At this time, in the present invention, one end 12a of the leaf spring 12 is fixed to the guide 11, the other end 12b is fixed to the fixing member 13, and the fixing member 13 is fixed to the case 9 via the thumb screw 14. A desired return force can be obtained by rotating and thumbscrewing it to an appropriate position.

In addition, the mounting of the fixing member 13 is not limited to the position of the leaf spring 12.
The return force can also be changed by changing the number of sheets.

Reference numeral 15 is a rubber flap to prevent cut roots from scattering.

Note that instead of this flap 15, a transparent case or the like may be attached to the entire mounting surface.

Further, below the spherical drill-shaped cutter 7, a rectangular fixing base 16 having a rubber material or the like on the upper surface is attached by a substantially oval-shaped support rod 17.

The support rod 17 is movable vertically and horizontally by a tubular member, and can take a desired position.

To explain the method of removing the hair roots of garlic bulbs according to the present invention, first, the switch 18 is closed, and the garlic bulb is placed on the guide 11 part of the disc-shaped cutter 6 part with the hair root part outside. Next, the guide 11 is moved to contact the cutter 6 near the line AA of the stem 19 shown in FIG. 4 to cut it.

Next, the garlic bulb is set in the guide 11 again with the cut stem portion facing outward, and the beard roots 20 are then cut.

Furthermore, after cutting the roots 20, the garlic bulb is made to form an arc-shaped recess 21 as shown by the chain line in FIG. They are stored in containers, dried in dryers, and shipped to the market.

In order to form the arc-shaped recess 21, the back of the hand holding the garlic bulb is supported by placing it on the fixed base 16 whose position has been adjusted in advance, and the root portion is lightly pressed against the cutter 7.

Since the present invention is based on the above-mentioned stealing, it is possible to easily, safely, and efficiently provide garlic bulbs suitable for shipping to the market, and also because it is equipped with a disc-shaped cutter. It has various effects such as being able to be used not only for garlic bulbs but also for other root vegetables such as carrots and burdock.
