Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an automatic hakama peeler for chives, etc.

Traditionally, after harvesting vegetables such as chives from the field, the outer skin called hakama attached to the stems was removed by hand, which not only was extremely inefficient, but also resulted in the problem of dirty hands. .

Therefore, in order to solve these problems, the inventor first applied for utility model registration (Utility Model Application No. 18141, 1983).
I went there. The present invention provides a peeling machine that is further improved from the above-mentioned invention, and its purpose is to construct the device so that the air blowing part and the air filtration part can be installed and used separately. In addition, the wind tunnel is formed into a semi-cylindrical shape to enable concentrated blowing of air, further increasing peeling efficiency, and the nozzle is made of plastic to prevent it from rusting. It is an object of the present invention to provide a machine for peeling chives, etc., which is made of synthetic resin to improve the service life of the device, and which can be used in accordance with the shape of chive bundles by forming the nozzle in various shapes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. The drawings show one embodiment of the present invention.
The figure shows a perspective view thereof, FIG. 2 is a block diagram, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the nozzle mounting portion.

A semi-cylindrical peeler wind tunnel 3 is fixedly installed on the base 2 of the air blowing section 1 to cover the base 2, and a semi-circular notch 4 is provided at one end of the wind tunnel 3. They are recessed in opposite directions. Soft rings 5, 5 made of rubber or the like are attached to the peripheries of the notches 4, 4.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an air filtration section incorporating various air filters, and is configured such that the air blowing section 1 can be placed thereon (arrow A and imaginary line in FIG. 1). The air filtration section 6 will now be described. An air filter 8 is connected to a compressor (not shown) through an air supply pipe 8', and filters and cleans dust and the like in the air that is pressure-fed from the compressor. Next, the air filter 8 and the mist separator 9 are connected through an air supply pipe 9' to filter oil particles in the compressed air, and then the mist separator 9 and the air pressure regulating valve 10 are connected through an air supply pipe 10' to remove mist. The air pressure of the compressed air sent from the separator 9 is adjusted, and the air pressure regulating valve 10 and the micro mist separator 11 are connected to the air pipe 11'.
The micro mist separator 11 and the electromagnetic valve 12 are connected by an air supply pipe 12'. A branch part 12'' is formed on the pressure feeding side of the electromagnetic valve 12 via an air supply pipe 12, and one air supply pipe 13 connected to the branch part 12'' is connected to an upper nozzle 14. The other air pipe 13' is connected to the lower nozzle 1.
4', the upper nozzle 14 and the lower nozzle 14' are mounted so as to face each other symmetrically with the air blowing direction inclined forward. By the way, the nozzles 14, 14' are made of synthetic resin such as plastic, and have air introduction holes 15, 15' bored inside each.
Furthermore, a plurality of air outlets 6, 16' are opened in the object plane, communicating with the introduction holes 15, 15', respectively. Furthermore, a support plate 14'' is attached to the opposite surface of the lower nozzle 14' from the outlet 16' with screws or the like so that the bundled chives or the like can be easily inserted without coming apart.

Another embodiment of the air outlet 16, 16' is the sixth one.
As shown in the figure, a single slit-shaped outlet 16'' may be formed so as to communicate with the introduction holes 15 and 15'.Furthermore, the shape of the nozzle is trapezoidal in cross section (Figure 5), and the nozzle is vertically opposed. Although an example is shown in the figure, this embodiment has the advantage that it is easy to set up by inserting or pulling out a chive etc. between the upper nozzle and the lower nozzle. As another embodiment without limitation, the seventh
As shown in FIG. 8, the cross section may be circular or circular, and the shape is not particularly limited.
Furthermore, although an example has been described in which two nozzles are horizontally arranged vertically, it is also possible to arrange these nozzles vertically side by side.

Next, the nozzle mounting mechanism will be explained based on FIG.

An adjustment arm 19 is attached to the upper arm portion 18 of the U-shaped support plate 17 installed upright at the entrance of the wind tunnel 3 of the skinning section, and a thumbscrew 2 is inserted at an arbitrary position into a long hole 19a formed in the adjustment arm 19.
0, so that the extension length and vertical angle of the adjustment arm 19 can be adjusted, and one end of the L-shaped joint plate 21 is attached to the tip of the adjustment arm 19 with a thumbscrew 22. and the other end is attached to the nozzle 14 with a thumbscrew 23 so that the spray angle of the nozzle 14 can be freely changed with respect to the adjustment arm 19. Similarly, for the lower nozzle 14', the adjusting arm 19' is hinged 20' to the lower arm 18' of the support plate 17, and the L-shaped joint plate 2
1' is hinged 22', and the thumbscrew 23' is hinged and attached to the nozzle 14'.
The upper and lower nozzles 14, 14' can be adjusted depending on the amount, type, etc. of the object to be inserted between the nozzles 14, 14' without using a wrench. While keeping the nozzles parallel to each other, it is possible to freely adjust the longitudinal and vertical positions of each nozzle, the spray angle, and the nozzle spacing. 24 is a detector;
is installed at an arbitrary angle with respect to the nozzles 14, 14', and is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 8 via the twin timer 25 or relay.
The solenoid valve 12 is actuated by detecting the presence or absence of an object set between 4 and 14'.

Therefore, in the machine for peeling chives, etc. according to the present invention, when a chive, etc. with the skin still attached, taken from the field is inserted between the nozzles 14 and 14', the detector 2
4 detects that the object has been inserted, sends a signal to the twin timer 25 or relay, sends a signal for a predetermined time from the twin timer 25 or relay to the solenoid valve 12, and operates the solenoid valve 12 according to the signal time. Let it open. Compressed air sent from a compressor (not shown) is completely cleaned of dirt as it passes through the air filtration section 6 and enters the solenoid valve 12, and when the solenoid valve 12 is opened by a signal from the twin timer 25 or the relay, the air pipe is opened. The compressed air is blown from the air outlets 16, 16' through the introduction holes 15, 15' of the nozzles 14, 14' from the nozzles 13, 13', and the strong wind pressure instantly destroys the hakama skin of chives, etc. And peels off automatically. Moreover, the wind tunnel 3 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, and the nozzle outlet 1
The compressed air blown out from the air outlet 16, 16' hits the inner curved surface of the wind tunnel 3 and then bounces back to the center, so that the air that did not directly hit the chive bundle from the air outlet 16, 16' Eventually, the air will hit the chive bunches, making it possible to blow air in a concentrated manner, further improving the peeling efficiency.

When a chive or the like whose skin has been peeled is taken out from between the nozzles, the detector 24 detects this and sends a signal to the solenoid valve 12 to stop blowing compressed air.

The air blown as described above is purified by an air cleaner, a mist separator, etc., and poses no food hygiene problem.

Further, the solenoid valve 12 receives a signal from the detector 24 and performs an opening operation, and the opening time and closing time at this time can be freely adjusted by a twin timer 25 or a relay, and the nozzle 14,
Together with the adjustment of the air blowing angle and position of 14', the peeling effect can be adjusted to be the best.

In this embodiment, the air blowing section 1 is configured to be able to be used separately from the air filtration section 6, but when the air blowing section 1 is placed on the air filtration section 6 and used ( As shown in Fig. 1 (imaginary line), the leg 26 of the air filtration unit 6 consists of an upper part 26a and a lower part 26b, which are screwed or loosely inserted into each other and fixed with thumbscrews 27, so that the leg 26 can be adjusted to suit the height of the worker. In addition, the height of the air blowing section 1 is adjusted to make the work easier.

The present invention having the above configuration has the following effects.

A detector that detects the presence or absence of an object detects the insertion of a chive or other object between the nozzles and sends a signal to the solenoid valve, which opens and closes the solenoid valve to blow compressed air from the nozzle outlet. ,
Just by inserting chives etc. between the nozzles, the skin of the chives can be automatically and efficiently peeled without manual intervention, and since it is done by wind pressure, it is hygienic and does not damage the body of the chives etc. .

Since the air blowing section and the air filtration section of this device can be installed separately, the operator can install the air blowing section indoors on a tabletop, etc. and use it while sitting, making the work easier and less tiring. can be done. However, it can be used indoors,
Work can be done without being affected by weather etc.

By providing an approximately semi-cylindrical wind tunnel of a predetermined length in the air blowing section along the blowing direction of the nozzle, it is possible not only to prevent the outer skin of chives, etc., and mud attached to the outer skin from scattering, but also to prevent the blowing of the nozzle. The compressed air ejected from the outlet is diffused and the ejection pressure (wind pressure) is prevented from rapidly decreasing, and the compressed air hits the inner surface of the wind tunnel and bounces back to the center, which prevents the object from being peeled. Concentrated air blowing becomes possible, improving peeling efficiency and increasing work efficiency. In addition, since the nozzles are installed vertically and horizontally with multiple outlets, the density of the compressed air is high, and since it is horizontally long, it is possible to remove the outer skin of multiple objects at the same time.
Since the insertion opening for objects is wide, objects can be easily taken in and taken out, and workability and work efficiency are greatly improved.

Since the nozzle part is made of synthetic resin such as plastic, even if mud or sewage adheres to the nozzle, it will not corrode or deteriorate like metal, which can improve the service life of the device. .

The nozzle has various shapes such as trapezoidal, round, circular, etc. in cross section, so you can select the nozzle as appropriate depending on the shape of the bundle of chives, and the lower nozzle is equipped with a support plate, so it can be used easily. can be easily inserted between the nozzles, speeding up the peeling work.

It has various effects such as.
