Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a peeling device for vegetables that peels off the skin of potatoes with distorted shapes well and can peel off completely the skin on the dented part with a sprout by mounting a plurality of brushes on a rotating plate. CONSTITUTION:On the upper plane of a rotating plate 9, a plurality of brushes 10 are fixed, and to the center of the rear of the plate a boss 11 is installed. The rotating plate 9 can freely revolve within the vessel 3 by engaging the boss 11 to the rotating axis 4 of a motor 1 in such a fashion that it can be freely mounted and dismounted. On the rotating plate 9 such vegetables as potatoes are placed and a lid is covered on them from above. The motor 1 is energized to revolve the rotating plate 9 at high speed. Thus potatoes turn over the rotating plate 9 with their skin peeled off with the brushes 10 with a friction. As the brushes 10 are elastic and transforms along the potatoes and therefore it can touch the surface of potatoes. In the case of potatoes with a distorted shape or having a dented portion, the brush can enter into recessed part of potatoes, touching their surfaces. Consequently the skin can be well peeled off, thus reducing the waste of materials.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a household peeling machine for peeling vegetables such as potatoes.

2. Prior Art Conventionally, this type of peeling machine has had a structure as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

That is, a container 3 is placed on a main body 2 containing an electric motor 1, and a rotating shaft 4 of the electric motor 1 passes through the container 3. As shown in FIG. 4, a rotary plate 6 having a plurality of holes 6 is provided inside the container 3. As shown in FIG. The rotary plate 6 has a boss portion 7 vertically disposed from the center of the bottom thereof as a rotary shaft 4.
It is removably attached to the. Here, by placing the potato etc. on the rotary plate 6 and rotating it, the surface of the potato etc.
The skin was to be peeled off by hooking it on the edge. In addition, in FIG. 3, 8 is a lid that covers the top of the container 3 to prevent the potatoes, etc. inside from spilling out.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with this type of structure, it is difficult to peel off the skin of vegetables such as potatoes that are irregularly shaped other than spherical, and the sunken part of the bud's skin remains intact. There was a problem.

In other words, when the vegetables roll on the rotating shaft 6, the convex part
2. Also, since the contact area between the hole 6 and the vegetable is linear or dotted, in order to completely peel off the skin of an egg-shaped vegetable, the vegetable must be scraped so that it approaches a spherical shape. Therefore, there was a lot of waste, and the skin of the sunken part of the bud was left as it was since it was not caught in the hole 6.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a peeling machine that can skillfully peel distorted-shaped vegetables such as potatoes, and can also remove the skin from the sunken portions of sprouts.

Means for Solving the Problems and In order to achieve the above object, in the vegetable peeling machine of the present invention, a plurality of brushes are provided on the rotary plate.

Function The vegetable peeling machine of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, so that the plurality of brushes provided on the rotary plate are deformed along the shape of vegetables such as potatoes, so that the surface of the brush and the brush surface for peeling the skin are close to each other. There is a large contact area, so even vegetables with irregular shapes can be skillfully peeled without being scraped into a spherical shape, and the tip of the brush can also penetrate into the hollow parts of the sprouts to scrape off the skin. , which allows for reliable peeling.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

Note that the same parts as in the conventional example are given the same numbers and the explanation thereof will be omitted. In the figure, numeral 9 is a rotary plate on which a plurality of brushes 10 are fixed, and a boss 11 is attached to the center of the back surface.

The rotary plate 9 can freely rotate within the container 3 by removably engaging a boss 11 provided thereon with a rotary shaft 4 of an electric motor 1 built in the main body 2.

Next, the operation of the configuration of this embodiment will be explained. To peel vegetables using the vegetable peeler described above, attach the rotary plate 9 inside the container 3, place potatoes, etc. on top, cover the lid 8 from above, and then turn on the electric motor 1 to turn the rotary plate 9. Rotate at high speed. Then, the potatoes, etc. in the container 3 circulate inside the container 3 while rolling on the rotary plate 9. At this time, the potatoes and the like roll while having their skins removed by a brush 10 fixed to a rotary plate 9. The contact portion between the potato etc. and the brush 10 is not dotted or linear, but the brush 10 has elasticity and deforms along the shape of the potato etc., so it is in contact with the surface. For this reason, when the brush 1o comes into contact with an irregularly shaped potato, etc., or a part such as a recess with a sprout, the brush 10 will enter into the other party's recess or recess, and this will cause Since the skin can be peeled off, there is less wear and tear on the part where the skin has already been peeled, and the waste of ingredients such as potatoes can be reduced.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, in the present invention, since the brush is fixed to a rotating plate, it is possible to effectively peel vegetables such as potatoes with distorted shapes and concave parts of sprouts without wasting material. can. In addition, since the brush and the vegetable come into contact with each other while scraping off the skin,
The peel can be peeled faster than the conventional rotary plate with dotted or linear contact holes.
