Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a root vegetable peeling machine capable of peeling root vegetables such as burdock, sweet potato, and carrot while preventing the peeling of root vegetables.

(Prior technology) As a peeling machine for root vegetables, the Utility Model 176791
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-11000, there is known a system in which root vegetables placed in a tank are agitated for a certain period of time using a large number of rotating brushes provided in the tank to remove the skin.

However, with a tank that simply has a large number of cylindrical rotating brushes placed inside the tank, the surface of the root vegetables is scraped by the rotating brushes, and there is significant wear during peeling, and the rotating brushes deteriorate as they are used. There was a problem that it was easy to get bent, and if it got bent, it could not be efficiently peeled and it would take a lot of time to peel.

The present inventor previously developed a method for peeling root vegetables in which an appropriate number of brush rolls each having a circumferential surface having a plurality of flat parts and a curved part connecting each flat part are arranged in an arc shape inside a tank. Although he devised a new machine and published it in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-29916, it was not possible to completely solve the above-mentioned drawbacks peculiar to brush rolls.

(Problems that the invention attempts to solve) This invention solves these conventional problems,
This machine was developed for the purpose of being a root vegetable peeling machine that can efficiently peel root vegetables while minimizing loss of weight.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a metal peeler whose peripheral surface is formed with a plurality of flat parts and a curved part connecting each flat part, and whose surface is provided with an abrasive layer. It is characterized by an appropriate number of rolls arranged in an arc shape inside the tank.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the illustrated embodiment. Reference numeral 1 denotes a square tank body;
Inside, an appropriate number of metal peeling rolls 4 each having a substantially polygonal cross section and having a peripheral surface having a plurality of flat parts 2 and a curved part 2a connecting each flat part 2 are arranged in an arc shape. has been done. The peeling roll 4 is a roll made of metal such as aluminum with an abrasive grain layer 3 formed on the surface.The abrasive grain layer 3 increases peeling efficiency, and the flat part 2 makes it possible to properly peel root vegetables. The agitation and fluidity is ensured to prevent the surface from being scraped too much. 4a is a brush roll interposed between the peeling rolls 4, and like the peeling roll 4, the brush roll 4a also has a circumferential surface formed with a plurality of flat parts 4b and a curved part 4a connecting each flat part 4b. ing. This brush roll 4a is for further increasing the agitation and flow of root vegetables. Both ends of the rotating shafts 5 of the peeling roll 4 and the brush roll 4a pass through the side wall of the tank 1, project outward from the tank 1, and are supported by bearings 6, 6. Reference numeral 7 denotes a chain wheel attached to one end of each rotary shaft 5 protruding from one bearing 6, and each adjacent chain wheel 7 is interconnected by a chain 8. 9 is motor 1
The chain wheel 11 of the reducer 9 and the chain wheels 7a of the two peeling rolls 4 are connected by a chain 12, and the driving force of the motor 10 is transmitted to the peeling roll 4 and the brush. The power is transmitted to the roll 4a. 13 is a chain linking the chain wheel of the motor 10 and the chain wheel of the reducer 9.
In addition, 14 is a water sprinkler pipe having a large number of pores, 15 is a safety cover into which materials can be inserted, 16 is a caster, 1
7 is a chute for discharging root collection, and 18 is a door for discharging root collection. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the brush roll 4a is replaced with two peeling rolls 4
Although these are provided next, they may be provided alternately. However, when only the peeling roll 4 is used, there is a tendency for the flow of the root vegetables introduced therein to deteriorate, so it is preferable to use it in combination with the brush roll 4a.

(Function) With this structure, if root vegetables are put into the tank 1 and the peeling rolls 4 are rotated in the same direction, the root vegetables in contact with each peeling roll 4 will be removed from the peeling roll 4. The peeling rolls 4 are rotated by the rollers and sent to the next peeling roll 4, where the peeling is performed by the abrasive grain layer 3 on the surface. Since the curved surface 2a connecting the two peeling rolls 2 has a substantially polygonal shape, the root vegetables do not get stuck on the same peeling roll 4 and are scraped too much, but are properly agitated and fluidized and transferred to the next peeling roll in sequence. 4, and is efficiently peeled by a peeling roll 4 having an abrasive grain layer 3. Moreover, if a brush roll 4a is arranged in combination between these peeling rolls 4, the root vegetables will flow more smoothly. Moreover, since the peeling roll 4 is made of metal and does not undergo deformation unlike a brush roll, it can maintain stable performance over a long period of time.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the present invention has a peripheral surface formed with a plurality of flat parts and a curved part connecting each flat part, and an abrasive grain layer is provided on the surface. Since an appropriate number of metal peeling rolls are arranged in an arc shape in the tank, the root vegetables can be peeled without excessive scraping of the surface between the peeling rolls. The brush does not get bent like a roll, so it can be peeled efficiently, and it does not have the elasticity of a brush, and has an abrasive layer on the surface, so it can be peeled quickly, and it can be used for a large amount of root vegetables. It has many advantages such as being able to process in a short time. Therefore, the present invention has great practical value as a conventional root vegetable peeler.
