Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a green onion peeling device that automatically blows air to peel off the outer skin of long onions.

The present inventor first developed a device (patent 55180517) that uses air to peel off the outer skin of long onions and clean them.
However, the air blowout requires turning on a petal switch every time a green onion is exposed to the air blowing nozzle.
I turned it on to blow out air.

For this reason, it could not be said that the workability was necessarily good.

Therefore, in order to improve work efficiency, this invention automatically blows out air to peel off the outer skin by simply placing the green onion in the air jet nozzle, and also supplies air to remove the outer skin. This paper proposes a device for peeling long onions, which aims to effectively rationalize the device by using an air compressor that also functions as an automatic air blowout detection mechanism.

Hereinafter, the green onion peeling device according to this invention will be explained based on illustrated examples.

1 in the figure is the machine base.

Along the longitudinal direction of the outer skin of the long warp,
An air jet nozzle 2 is provided which jets air at an angle of inclination to the longitudinal direction of the outer skin of the green onion to peel off the outer skin.

The air jet from the air jet nozzle 2 is connected to an air sensor 4 that detects the green onion 3 facing the air jet nozzle 2.
By grasping the leaf part 5 side and positioning the white root part 6 of the long onion 3 between the air jet nozzle holes 2 and 2, air is automatically jetted to the long onion 3 based on the detection by the air sensor 4.

Then, when the worker slides the long onion 3 in the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, the outer skin is properly peeled off, and when the long onion 3 is removed from between the air jet nozzle rows 2, 2, it is removed from the air jet nozzle row 2. The air blowout stops dynamically.

That is, the air sensor 4 has a detection air outlet 4a that continues to eject a small amount of detection air, and a sensing part 4b that senses the detection air ejected from this outlet 4a. The long onion 3 interposed between the air spout 4a and the sensing part 4b causes air to flow from the sensing air spout 4a to the sensing part 4.
Block the flow of detection air blowing out towards b,
When the sensing part 4b no longer senses the detection air from the detection air outlet 4a, it detects the green onion 3 facing the air injection nozzle nozzle 2, and based on this detection, the air is ejected from the air injection nozzle 2. An air valve (not shown) opens and closes, and air is ejected from the air ejection nozzle 2.

When the green onion is no longer interposed between the detection air spout 4a and the sensing part 4b, the sensing part 4b senses the detection air from the detection air spout 4a, and the green onion no longer faces the air jet nozzle 2. Based on this, the air valve closes and the air jetting from the air jetting nozzle 2 is stopped.

Moreover, the air is ejected from the air ejection nozzle 2 and the detection air ejection port 4a using the same air compressor (
(not shown).

In addition, numeral 7 in the figure is a shell disposal cylinder for feeding the peeled shells into a garbage disposal bag or the like 8 without scattering them.

This skin processing cylinder 7 is located in front of the air jet nozzle nozzle 2 with an opening 7a on one side and extends in the direction in which air is jetted from the air jet nozzle nozzle 2.

Further, reference numeral 9 in the figure is a wall to prevent the outer skin of the long onion and mud attached to the outer skin from scattering when the green onion is peeled off.

This partition wall 9 extends from near the air jet nozzle 2 to one side opening 7a of the skin processing cylinder 7.

The upper opening 10 between the walls 9 serves as a supply port for peeling off the outer skin of the green onion, and the side opening 11 serves as a take-out port for sliding the green onion.

The skin processing tube 7 and the partition wall 9 in this embodiment are integrally formed by a tube 12 having a cutout at the top of one side.

The green onion peeling device according to this invention configured as described above uses an air sensor 4 that detects the green onion facing the air jet nozzle nozzle 2 to automatically blow out air from the air jet nozzle nozzle 2 to remove the skin from the long onion. Since the outer skin is removed, workability can be improved.

In addition, the air jet nozzle 2 and the air sensor 4
Since the air ejected from the detection air outlet 4a is supplied by one and the same air compressor,
In other words, one air compressor supplies the air that is ejected from the air jet nozzle 2 to peel off the outer skin of the long onions, and the air sensor 4 that detects the long screw facing the air jet nozzle 2. Since it is also used to supply the air ejected from the outlet 4a, it is possible to effectively rationalize the device. Therefore, for example, a detector using a phototube or ultrasonic wave can be used as a means for detecting green onions. The equipment can be more rationalized than the previous one.
