Description

Garlic-side Separator {APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING GARLIC BULB}

The present invention relates to a garlic side separator for automatically separating whole garlic to produce seed or edible garlic side.

Garlic is a perennial herb, which is cultivated by direct sowing of garlic, and is widely used as a seasoning, tonic or itself with its unique taste and aroma. Garlic is in the form of egg-shaped spurs on the opposite side of the garlic, so it must be separated for seeding, and garlic seeds for sowing, ie seed garlic, are produced just before sowing because of the high risk of decay when stored for a long time. .

On the other hand, the production of garlic, sowing, harvesting, cutting roots and stems, drying, storage, and shipping have been mechanized, and the productivity and competitiveness of garlic cultivation have been improved, but the separation of garlic is mainly dependent on labor. . In recent years, the absolute lack of agricultural manpower has led to the separation of garlic from the labor force, which is a major cause of economic loss as well as a decrease in agricultural productivity. The solution to this problem is an urgent issue for farmers who grow a large amount of garlic or for garlic producers for seeds. In particular, the increase in garlic production cost is losing its competitiveness due to the sharp price difference with garlic imported from China, which is causing a huge obstacle to farmers' cultivation of garlic.

Garlic side separator for bulk separation of conventional garlic side has been developed a multi-stage roller method. This multi-stage roller type garlic side separator is configured to peel garlic and separate the garlic by continuous pressing of garlic by a multi-stage roller, and the roller is configured to have a play by elastic support of the spring. However, the garlic-stage separator of the multi-stage roller method has a disadvantage in that the garlic is completely peeled off, so that the physical damage of the garlic is greatly generated. Damaged garlic is accompanied by a problem of reducing yield due to sluggish growth even if it is spoiled or germinated before germination after sowing. In addition, since the rollers are multi-sized and large in size, they occupy a large space, so there is a problem of being unsuitable for farm households.

The garlic side separator of the applicant's Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-18558 is provided with a conical screw conveyor installed inside the cylinder to separate the garlic side between the cylinder and the screw conveyor. This technique has the advantage of preventing damage to the garlic side, but it is difficult to maintain the garlic input properly because the operator is configured to put garlic directly, and separates by-products such as shells and garlic side again. There are cumbersome disadvantages to do.

The present invention is devised to solve various problems of the prior art as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a garlic-side separator that minimizes the damage rate of the garlic side for seeds and increases the separation rate.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a garlic separator that allows the amount of garlic to be properly controlled by a garlic supply device, and by-products such as shells and garlic side are separated by a balloon device to simplify operation.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple and lightweight garlic-side separator with a simple structure by a rotating cone structure.

The following describes the action on the garlic side separator according to the present invention having such a configuration.

As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4, the worker is separated between the inner cone barrel 24 and the outer cone barrel 28 to separate the garlic (1) to the garlic side (1a) by the garlic side separator 20 The gap 26 is adjusted to match the height (height) and the width (diameter of the maximum circumference) of the garlic (1) and the garlic side (1a). For example, the input side gap 26a between the inner cone barrel 24 and the outer cone barrel 28 adjacent to the inlet 28a of the outer cone cylinder 28 is a gap corresponding to the height and width of the garlic 1. And the discharge side gap 26b between the inner cone barrel 24 and the outer cone barrel 28 adjacent to the outlet 28b of the outer cone barrel 28 may be passed by the garlic side 1a. Keep it to the extent.

4 and 5, the distance 26 between the inner cone cylinder 24 and the outer cone cylinder 28 is adjusted by the shanghai Song control mechanism (40). When the operator rotates the screw shaft 48 counterclockwise by the adjusting handle 46 of the shanghai conveying mechanism 40, the second nut 44 is screwed along the rotating screw shaft 48 while the second nut 44 is screwed. The support member 34 fixed to the nut 44 descends together, and the outer cone cylinder 28 connected to the support member 34 is also lowered so that the discharge side between the inner cone cylinder 24 and the outer cone cylinder 28 is lowered. The gap 26b becomes narrow. At this time, the lifting motion of the outer cone cylinder 28 is guided in a linear motion by the upper guide rod 50 fixed to the fixed plate 14 and the lower guide rod 52 fixed to the frame 10.

On the other hand, when the operator rotates the screw shaft 48 clockwise by the adjustment handle 46 of the shanghai transport control mechanism 40, the second nut 44 is screwed along the rotating screw shaft 48, The two nuts 44 and the support 34 are raised together, and the outer cone cylinder 28 is also raised to widen the discharge side gap 26b between the inner cone cylinder 24 and the outer cone cylinder 28.

In this way, the input side gap 26a and the discharge side gap 26b between the inner circumferential cylinder 24 and the outer circumferential cylinder 28 are widened or narrowed according to the ascending and descending of the outer cone barrel 28, thereby introducing garlic 1. It can prevent the damage of garlic side 1a) by flexibly coping with the size of) and the size of garlic side (1a) discharged separately. Further, by narrowly adjusting the gap 26 between the inner cone barrel 24 and the outer cone barrel 28, the peeling can also be peeled off in parallel with the separation of the garlic side 1a. Can also be used practically in the primary processing field of garlic, which produces primary processed garlic.

Referring to FIG. 2, after the operator supplies garlic 1 to the hopper 12 of the frame 10 and applies power to the motor 90 by the operation of the power controller 120, the motor 90 The drive shaft 92 is rotated by being driven. The rotational force of the drive shaft 92 is transmitted to the intermediate shaft 102 by the first driving pulley 106a, the first driven pulley 106b and the first belt 106c of the first belt transmission mechanism 106, The rotational force of the shaft 102 is transmitted to the rotary shaft 22 of the garlic side separating device 20 by the prime bevel gear 104a and the driven bevel gear 104b, and by the rotation of the rotary shaft 22 the inner cone cylinder ( 24) is rotated. In addition, the rotational force of the drive shaft 92 is driven by the second driven pulley 110a, the second driven pulley 110b, the third driven pulley 110c and the second belt 110d of the second belt transmission mechanism 110. It is transmitted to each of the rotary shaft 88 of the balloon device 80 and the input shaft 108a of the reducer 108. The driven sprocket wheel 62a of the bucket elevator 62 is rotated by the output shaft 108b of the reducer 108, and the chain 62c and the driven sprocket wheel 62b are interlocked by the rotation of the driven sprocket wheel 62a. .

The bucket 62d of the bucket elevator 62 carries the garlic 1 injected into the hopper 12 and transports it to the driven sprocket wheel 62b, and the garlic 1 contained in the bucket 62d is the bucket 62d. When descending toward the driven sprocket wheel 62a above the driven sprocket wheel 62b, it is unloaded from the bucket 62d to the chute 66. The garlic 1 unloaded to the chute 66 is dropped into the gap 26 between the inner cone cylinder 24 and the outer cone cylinder 28 after being injected into the inlet 28a of the outer cone cylinder 28. Falling garlic (1) is endowed with a centrifugal force and a torsional force by the rotating inner cone cylinder 24, and at the same time the spiral side by the friction between the inner cone cylinder 24 and the outer cone cylinder (28) Separated by). Therefore, the separation rate of the garlic side 1a is greatly increased, as well as the damage is minimized, which is suitable for the production of the seed garlic side 1a. At this time, the buffer pads 30 and 32 attached to the outer surface of the inner cone cylinder 24 and the inner surface of the outer cone cylinder 28 minimize the damage of the garlic side 1a. Garlic side (1a) is discharged through the outlet 28b of the outer cone barrel 28, guided to the collection guide tube 62 is collected in the garlic side collection box (70).

On the other hand, while the rotating shaft 88 and the fan 86 of the balloon device 80 is rotated together, the air blown to the collection guide pipe 72 through the duct 82 is the garlic side passing through the collection guide pipe 72 ( 1a) and by-products (1b) such as shells, roots, and stems are separated. That is, the by-product (1b) is lighter than the garlic side (1a) is blown by the wind is discharged to the outside of the collection guide pipe 72 through the exhaust pipe 84, the garlic side (1a) is heavier than the by-product (1b) Dropped by its own weight is collected in the garlic-side collection box 70, thereby facilitating the collection of garlic (1a).

The above embodiments are merely illustrative of one embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be appropriately changed within the scope of the registration claims. For example, the shape and structure of each component specifically shown in the embodiment of the present invention can be modified.

As described above, according to the garlic-side separator according to the present invention, the garlic is dropped between the inner and outer cones of the garlic-side separator by the weight of the garlic, and is automatically dropped by the spiral feeding and the torsion action. It is separated into, and the damage of the garlic side is prevented and at the same time the separation rate is increased that is suitable for the production of seed garlic side.

In addition, the separation capacity can be easily controlled according to the change in the circumferential length and height of the cone and the rotational speed, and the amount of work of the separation device can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the input amount of garlic in the bucket elevator. In addition, the garlic side separator of the present invention can perform a series of operations such as garlic input, side separation, sorting, etc., and can efficiently separate the garlic side by-products such as shells.
