Description

Leek peeler {.}

The present invention relates to a leek peeler that automatically cuts unnecessary roots and leaves of green onions collected from a mountain area, and at the same time automatically peels off the outermost shell, more specifically, the collected leeks are sequentially placed on a conveyor. Just put on the root cuttings, peeling peeling as well as unnecessary leaves are also about to remove the leek peeler to wash at the same time.

In the past, housekeepers who use leek, which is used for seasoning in almost all dishes, are actively participating in social activities according to the development of the industry and socialization. It is necessary to shorten the time required for cooking, and in recent years, leek is also processed and sold for easy use.

However, these leeks are usually sold by some producers or sellers with the outermost shells and roots and leaves trimmed by hand, but this is limited and the majority of consumers cannot purchase the trimmed leeks.

In order to overcome this problem, the company has developed a machine capable of removing unnecessary roots and leaves as well as outermost hulls before selling the collected leeks to consumers.

However, there is a limit in developing equipment for automatically cutting roots and leaves of different sizes and lengths, and the worker develops and uses the equipment to automatically peel off only the bark while cutting unnecessary roots and leaves by hand. to be.

However, such a leek peeler can be loaded automatically onto the conveyor while the worker removes unnecessary peels and leaves by manual rotation while the loaded leeks pass between a pair of belts rotating in opposite directions. Since the peeled off by the friction generated, the following problems occur.

First, production costs were increased by processing the roots and leaves by hand before loading the collected leeks into the conveyor.

Second, since the green onions loaded on the equipment are peeled off by the frictional force of a pair of rotating belts, when the thickness is different from other green onions, that is, when the thickness is thicker than the set diameter, the green onions are pressed between the belts, thereby degrading the commerciality.

Third, even if the shell is peeled in a good state, it can be packaged in a state that can be sold only after a separate washing process, thereby increasing the production cost due to processing.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem of the prior art, regardless of the size and thickness of the collected leek, just put on the conveyor in order to remove the roots and shells at the same time washing, and then The purpose is to allow unnecessary leaves to be cut to a predetermined length and transferred to the sterilization process.
