(57) [Summary] [Purpose] It is extremely easy to core vegetables such as onions.
To provide a vegetable core removing machine that is safe and efficient. [Structure] A vegetable set table is arranged below the guide plate having a through hole so that it can be moved up and down corresponding to the through hole, and on the upper side of the guide plate, the vegetables are alternately moved forward and backward relative to the through hole. A vegetable core removing machine having a plurality of core removing blades.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vegetable core removing machine for removing cores of vegetables having cores such as onions, lettuce, cabbage, and Chinese cabbage (these are simply referred to as “vegetables” in this specification). is there.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, since there is no preferred vegetable coring machine, the vegetable coring is carried out exclusively by hand.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It is inefficient to core a large amount of vegetables by hand and it imposes a heavy physical burden on workers, which is also disadvantageous in terms of personnel costs and securing employment. Further, there is a possibility that a worker may injure a finger due to the blade during the core removing work. The present invention provides a novel vegetable core removing machine in order to solve such problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a vegetable set table under the guide plate having a through hole so that the vegetable set table can be moved up and down corresponding to the through hole, and an upper side of the guide plate. It is intended to provide a vegetable coring machine in which a plurality of coring blades which are alternately moved forward and backward from the through hole are arranged.

[0005]

[Action]

 When performing the core removal of vegetables with the vegetable core removing machine of the present invention, after lowering the vegetable setting table and setting the vegetables on the vegetable setting table with the core (root) to be extracted facing up , Raise the vegetable setting stand and bring the upper part (core) of the vegetables into contact with the through hole of the guide plate. As a result, the vegetables are fixed between the guide plate and the vegetable setting table with the core portion to be extracted positioned in the through hole of the guide plate. Then, one of the core cutting tools is inserted diagonally from above into the through hole of the guide plate to cut into the upper part (core part) of the vegetable and immediately return to the original position. Next, insert the coring blade at another position into the through hole of the guide plate from diagonally above to cut into the upper part (core part) of the vegetable, and immediately return to the original position. In this way, the cores of vegetables are taken out by alternately cutting a plurality of core cutting blades from different angles on the top of the vegetables. When the centering of one vegetable is completed, the vegetable set table is lowered to take out the relevant vegetable from the vegetable set table, the next vegetable is placed on the vegetable set table, and the centering is performed as described above. In this way, the cores of vegetables are sequentially removed.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 is a frame of the core removing machine. A horizontal guide plate 2 is provided on the frame 1. The guide plate 2 is provided with a through hole 3. The through hole 3 corresponds to the core portion 4a of the vegetable 4, and is a circular through hole as an example. A vegetable setting table 6 is arranged below the guide plate 2 so as to be movable up and down corresponding to the through holes 3. The vegetable setting table 6 is provided with a recess 7 suitable for mounting the vegetables 4. 8 is a shaft of the vegetable setting table 6. The vegetable setting table 6 may be manually moved up and down, but may be moved up and down by a driving means 9 such as a cylinder or a motor. On the upper side of the guide plate 2, a plurality of cored cutting tools 10 which alternately move forward and backward relative to the through hole 3 are arranged. In the illustrated case, two cored cutting tools 10 are arranged at an angle of 180 °, but other three cored cutting tools 10 may be arranged at an angle of 120 °. Each cored blade 10 is reciprocally driven by, for example, an air cylinder 11. The centering blade 10 is preferably a substantially gutter-shaped body having a semicircular or semielliptical cross section as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. (See (1) and (2)). Vegetable 4 shown in FIG. 5 is an onion, 4a is a core portion extracted from onion 4, and 4b is a hole formed by extracting core portion 4a.

[0007]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, by using the vegetable coring machine according to the present invention, the coring of vegetables becomes extremely easy, and anyone can perform coring of vegetables extremely safely and efficiently. Therefore, the present invention exerts excellent effects in terms of improving work efficiency in core removal of vegetables, reducing labor costs, and securing employment.
