Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for polishing spherical fruits and root vegetables such as melons and chrysanthemums.

Conventional polishing machines have multiple rotating brushes installed horizontally, a plate brush placed above them, and a spherical object is rolled between the lower rotating brushes and the upper plate brush, and the rotating brushes polish the object. However, if you polish something with vines like a melon or something with stems and leaves like a large chrysanthemum, the vines, stems and leaves will break, reducing its commercial value.

The present invention provides a polishing machine for globular fruits and root vegetables that eliminates such drawbacks.

This idea is based on a machine that is equipped with a rotary plate 2 on which a brush 1 for receiving spherical fruits and root vegetables such as melons and large chrysanthemums is installed vertically, and a space A is formed above the rotary plate for accommodating the spherical fruits and root vegetables. A plurality of roll brushes 3.3' are attached to the outer circumference of the rotary plate 2.
, 3'', and is further equipped with a lifting mechanism B for lifting the spherical fruit and root vegetables placed on a rotary plate 2.

In the figure, 4 is the rotating shaft of the rotary plate 2, and 5.5' and 5'' are roll brushes 3.3'.

3" rotating shaft, 6 electric motor, 7.7', ?".

7nt, 1s" is an electric motor with 6 rotating shafts, 4.5°5',
5" is a chain sprocket fixed, 8° 8' is a tune, 9 is a lifting ring placed around the outer circumference of the rotary plate 2 that lifts the spherical fruits and roots, 10. 10' and 10" are rods that support the lifting ring. , 11 is a rod receiving plate, 12 is a lifting rod that moves the rod receiving plate up and down, 13 is a pedal arm, 14 is a pedal part, and 15 is a pedal arm 13.
16 is a top plate, 17 is an opening for inserting a spherical fruit on the top plate, and 18 is a melon.

In the figure, the number of roll brushes 3.3' and 3'' is 3, but 4.
or more.

In this invention, the electric motor 6 is operated and the chain 8.8'
, chain sprocket 7.7', ? “.

7///, 7'' through the rotary plate 2. Rotate the roll brushes 3゜3'3'' in the same direction.

Next, a spherical fruit such as a melon 18 is dropped by hand from the center of the three roll brushes 3.3', 3'' and placed on the brush 1 of the rotary plate 2.

At this time, the melon 18 is contained within the space A formed by the three roll brushes, and the impact and damage caused by the fall are hardly caused due to the elasticity of the vertically installed brush 1.

Next, the melon 18 accommodated in the space A tries to rotate clockwise in the figure as the rotary plate 2 rotates.

At the same time, the three roll brushes 3.3' and 3'' on the outer periphery also rotate clockwise, so what is the interlocking direction of the roll brushes 3.3' and 3'' that contact the outer skin of the melon 18 and the interlocking direction due to the rotation of the outer skin? The outer skin of the melon 18 is strongly polished by the roll brushes 3° and 3' in opposite directions.

Moreover, melon 18 on brush 1 is roll brush 3.3'
, 3'' in the counterclockwise direction, causing a slip due to the clockwise rotation of the flange 1, so that the bottom of the navel side of the melon 18 is also polished by the brush 1.

Furthermore, the vines of melon 18 are roll brushed 3.3'.

3" protrudes outward from the center and does not come into contact with the roll brush, so it will not be broken or damaged by the brush.

When the polished rear pedal part 14 is stepped down with the foot, the lifting ring 9 is lifted up via the pedal arm 13, the lifting rod 12, the rod receiving plate 11, and the rods 10, 10', and 10''. The ring 9 holds the melon 18 and lifts it above the space A, and the worker pulls out the melon 18 by hand.

Here, the lifting mechanism B includes a lifting ring 9 and rods 10, 10' as in this embodiment.

10", rod support plate 11, lifting rod 12, pedal arm 1
3. It is not limited to the mechanism such as the pedal part 14, and the rotary plate 2 may be raised and lowered by other mechanisms or directly.

As described above, according to the present invention, the brush 1 installed on the rotary plate 2
and the roll brush 3.3' on its outer periphery.

3'', the scales can be strongly polished without any corners on the entire circumference, or the stems and leaves of melon vines and Japanese daisies are made to protrude upward so as not to come into contact with the brush, thereby preventing a decrease in commercial value due to breakage of the vines, stems and leaves.

Furthermore, the lifting mechanism has the effect of making it easier to take out the spherical fruits and root vegetables.
