Description

MACHINE FOR PROCESSING HANDLES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is related to agribusiness in general; in particular it refers to agroindustrial machines and equipment designed for the processing and conditioning of fruits. More specifically it refers to a novel machine for peeling, cutting and boning mango fruit.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the state of the art, apparatus, equipment and / or machines for the processing of mango fruit are well known; in the market there are machines that perform mango processing operations but separately, that is, some only peel, others only cut and others bone.

Performing a search to define more precisely the state of the art, we found the following patent documents and patent applications that disclose aspects related to equipment and apparatus to process mango.

The patent application US2005 / 0028686 of Cario Asear i, et al., Filed on August 3, 2004, was found, which aims to protect a suitable device for peeling fleshy fruits, such as citrus, mango, kiwi, papaya, apples, pears, and in particular oranges and other fruits whose skin has a non-uniform thickness. The peeling of fruits whose skin has an uneven thickness due to the fact that the device of the invention is equipped with a mechanism capable of continuously varying - according to a program - the amount of projection of the peeling tool in relation to a device Palpator in the peeling stage. The device is applicable to any type of peeling machine, or to a machine that provides a peeling stage.

On the other hand, the machine according to the present invention allows to hold the fruit, peel it and cut it in cheeks and later remove the bone. The fruit remains in the machine only at the moment of peeling; where the machine performs all the operations with the fruit nailed in a single point.

Also found is US 6,220, 153 B1 Owen John Easby, filed September 1, 2000, which protects a fruit processing apparatus comprising rotary motion control members and a cooperatively associated U-shaped cutting blade. with them, high speed, efficient and automatic removal of skins and seeds a segment of fruit. The rotary motion control members receive the fruit segment with the cutting blade located along the junction between the skin and the edible fruit portion. Then, the fruit segment is pivoted arcuately, causing the leaf to pass between the joint surface, which completely separates the skin from the fruit. If desired, a seed removal member is also employed to remove and separate the seeds from the edible fruit.

In this machine the fruit remains static while the peeling mechanism rotates to remove the peel, the proposed machine rotates the handle while a razor runs through the handle and peels it. The patent does not perform the three processes of peeling, cutting and deboning the handle as in the case of the machine of the present invention.

US patent application 2005/0257696 A1 by Kevin Leo Walzak, et al. filed July 29, 2005, which discloses a cutting implement for cutting a fruit or vegetable, such as, for example, a mango fruit, comprising a cutting structure having a central cutter with a generally oblong shape, comprising a first and a second blade extending outwardly from the central cutter and arranged parallel to each other; the center cutter and the blades have cutting edges to cut the fruit or vegetable, and a handle structure coupled to the first and second blades. The utensil is manual and performs the function of cutting the handle in cheeks.

This utensil for the kitchen is used manually, while the present invention relates to an industrial machine that peels, cuts and debons the handle automatically.

The utensil knives are two parallel but joined knives and that in the center is intended to rid the bone shape, which differs completely from the structural configuration of the machine of the present invention.

Another located document has been the application US2005 / 0066529 by Steven D. Ruben, filed on September 30, 2003, which discloses a hand utensil for peeling and deboning a fruit, such as a mango; it consists of a spoon-shaped container through which a plurality of generally parallel elongate slots extend laterally in a lower region of the concave surface between the proximal end and the distal end of the bowl section. In addition, a series of ridges project arcuate from the concave surface of the bowl, wherein each arcuate ridge has a radius of curvature extending from a central point on a longitudinal axis and defines cutting blades.

It is a kitchen utensil that is used manually to peel the fruit or to scrape the pulp of the mango shell, while the proposed machine of the present invention is an automatic processor that peels, cuts and debons the handle at volumes industrial Although both have curved knives, the knife of the manual utensil is fixed at one end to a handle (typical fastener of the knives) while in the proposed machine the shape is curved in a "U" shape and is fixed at two ends to a peeling tool.

Also found was the Taiwan patent TW1247586B disclosing a machine in which the handle is linearly moved over a structure and then directed to the cutting process. There is no rotation of the handle, goes through a series of "peel potatoes" (10 mechanisms with cutting edge and springs) that remove a part of the shell at a time. In the proposed machine there is a single knife that peels the handle. The shape of the knives is completely different, being that the knives in this machine are straight, while the proposed machine has a curve in the shape of "U".

The handle does not rotate, but it moves on a system of rails that are presented to the mechanisms of peeling and then to the cut in cheeks. The proposed machine of the present invention, instead it mounts the handle on an axis on which it rotates and on that same axis rotates and performs the three operations of peeling, cutting and deboning.

The cut of the mango after peeling it is in cubes, not in cheeks; It has a system of straight knives, 18 of them that act as a guillotine and leave the handle in cubes. The proposed machine of the present invention in its cut of cheeks presents a system of parallel blades where with only two knives the action of removing the bone and generating the cheeks of the handle is done. The edges of the knives cut in cheeks in the proposed machine do not touch anything but the fruit and the cut is parallel to the bone, while in the machine of this patent acts perpendicular on the bone of the handle and enters with the knives until bump into the bone, then push and force it out.

It was also located the patent AU621411 B2 of James Arthur Barbat of October 19, 1989, which discloses a machine that realizes process of cutting of cheeks and peeling of the cheeks. However, in this machine the handle does not rotate on its own axis.

It is not pre-peeled and pressed against some wheels during cutting. The machine proposed in the present invention performs other operations in addition to the cut in cheeks, performs the cut once the handle is peeled and also removes the bone.

The process is cut of cheeks and then peeling of cheeks, the proposed machine performs rotary peeling first and then cut in cheeks for the final elimination of the bone.

The cutting knives in cheeks are a pair of discs while in the proposed machine has a pair of parallel knives.

The knife of peeling in this machine does not have the action of "shaving" the skin of the handle, but it tears it longitudinally, while the proposed machine has the function of spirally cutting the shell of the handle.

It was also located the document GB 2442139 (A) of Nigel Brazier of September 21, 2007, this patent shows a utensil that manually removes the bone from the handle; There is no peeling. On the other hand the proposed machine offers an automatic system that peels and cuts the handle; In addition to removing the bone.

The utensil of the referred patent assumes that a person is holding the handle and exerting force on it to drive the handle and extract the bone. The proposed machine automatically extracts the bone once it peels the fruit and cuts it.

Also filed is patent EP0607948 (A1) by Raithel Wolfgang, dated January 19, 1993, which discloses a utensil for fastening the handle is not an automatic machine, while the proposed machine is a system of actuators and devices that together hold, peel, cut and bone the handle automatically.

The manual utensil serves to nail, with a screw type tip, a fruit. The proposed machine, to hold the fruit, has a fork-type tool where the handle is stuck and does not rotate with respect to the fork.

Another document found was the Chinese patent CN2875729 of Guo Hanying of September 28, 2005, which discloses a knife-type utensil for manually peeling the handle, on the other hand the proposed machine is an automatic system that peels and cuts the handle.

The knife of the referred document has a curved shape that manually acts on the handle to cut it. The proposed machine is a peeling tool that has a curved blade in the shape of a "U" that stays in contact with the shell of the handle and peels it while it rotates and the knife is moved through the handle automatically.

Another localized document was the French patent FR 2909915 of Georges Jean Fesquet A I a i, dated December 13, 2006, which discloses a conditioned device of blades (1) associated with the sliding arms (2) that are placed in two guides. A handle is arranged vertically on a support between the guides, where the force is exerted on a handle (3) to cut the handle in two halves by separating a core. This device has a pair of guides for the knives that cut the handle. The proposed machine consists of a pair of parallel blades that without guides cut through the handle already peeled, this process is automatic and its positioning is through pulse motors.

On the web page http: bwww.pelalimones.com/maauina/ a professional machine for peeling large quantities of lemons that is manually operated is disclosed; It is a machine that consists of a mechanism with fasteners of the fruit to hold and ensure a constant rotation and within the desired rotational axis. It has a blade that covers the objective of peeling completely and following the outline of the fruit. However, the movement is transmitted by a gear set; In the machine of the present invention, movement is transmitted through a set of pulleys and belts. The machine disclosed there focuses on the obtaining of shell for the adornment of beverages, not so much the use of the pulp. Its operation is completely mechanical and for manual use, it does not comprise any electric actuator that generates automation as the machine proposed in the present invention.

In this machine the placement of the fruit in the trench and the counterpoint is manual, however the proposed machine requires that the placement be done manually in a holder container in a base and this nails the handle in the trinche automatically thus avoiding the risk for the operator.

The movement of the arm and rotation in the case of the machine disclosed there is with a single mechanical system; while in the machine of the present invention the rotational and translational movement are independent, in turn they are generated by electric actuators (pulse motors).

The machine focuses exclusively on the peeling of the fruit, does not cover activities such as cutting, deboning and automated placement.

A fruit peeling machine is disclosed on the Web page http: bwww. metal machine .com.ee / MM / Detal le .aspx? idC = 2 &idD = 88. which transmits movement by mechanical elements and is manually operated. It focuses exclusively on peeling; does not cover cutting, deboning or cutting the fruit; instead, the proposed machine of the present invention performs all three operations automatically, except for the initial positioning in a container with vanished surface.

In this machine the arm only has the knife of peeling with its way; while in the machine of the present invention has three tools, which makes it more robust. It is a manual machine without electric actuators, and its movement is achieved with a lever.

In general, the devices and machines described in the state of the art have the following deficiencies: • They perform only one process, that is, they do not encompass the three processes that the machine of the present invention can execute and that are necessary to process the handle.

• Most of the devices and / or machines described do not have a closed loop control that allows real-time feedback of the fruit being processed, therefore results are less favorable than those of the machine of the present invention .

• Some of the machines are only tools and require human intervention and manual handling.

• The result of the final product depends on the skill of the operator.

· Manage complex and unique mechanisms, developed by manufacturers, which involves complications in maintenance and repair.

Given the need to have a practical and efficient machine that allows to process the mango automatically and execute three operations of peeling, cutting and deboning, without the need for human intervention, is that the machine of the present invention was developed, which will undoubtedly offer technological advantages in the agro-industrial sector, in the processing and handling of fruits such as mango, which allows condition it and leave it ready for use and use by the industry.

The machine for processing mango automatically performing the operations of peeling, cutting and deboning without the need for human intervention, in accordance with the present invention, consists of a support structure that supports a rotating turret on an axis with means of rotary drive, which is mounted on a sliding carriage with linear displacement in fixed rails in the support structure and comprising linear drive means to generate said linear displacement. Three arms projecting radially and at a certain distance from each other, preferably with, but not limited to, a separation of 60 ° are mounted on said rotating turret; Each arm has a tool at its end to hold, peel, bone and cut the handle in two halves called cheeks respectively.

The first arm comprises a holding tool for holding the handle individually that is supplied from a feeder and that rotates partially by action of the rotary drive means of said rotating turret to position each handle in an area where a first element is arranged of fixing the handle and fitting it during the linear travel of the sliding carriage; said first fastening element of the handle consists of a rotating arrow with a pointed end, adapted to be inserted in a longitudinal end of the handle to secure it when the sliding carriage makes a linear approximation stroke, bringing the first arm closer with the holding tool that holds each handle; said rotary arrow being adapted with rotary drive means to rotate it. A second fastening element of the handle is disposed collinearly with respect to the end of said first fastening element and consists of a tailstock mounted on a linear actuator, wherein said counterpoint is approached by the action of the linear actuator and fitted on the opposite longitudinal end of the handle for greater stability during the subsequent peeling process.

The second arm comprises a peeling tool that is operated when the handle has been fitted in the corresponding fixing elements and the first arm with the tool subjection has been removed; so that said peeling tool is positioned close to the handle due to the rotation of the rotating turret and is adapted to traverse the contour of the handle by action of the sliding carriage to completely remove the skin from the handle; while the handle rotates in said first and second fastening elements of the handle by the action of the rotary drive means.

The third arm comprises a boning tool and is cut in two halves or cheeks of the handle, which is actuated when the handle is finished and the second arm has been removed with the peeling tool. Said third arm is actuated by the rotation of the rotating turret and the linear displacement of sliding carriage where the turret is mounted and positioned close to the longitudinal end of the handle where the counterpoint is fitted, when said counterpoint has been retracted by the effect of the actuator linear and returned to its original position and the first fixing element of the handle has stopped rotating by positioning the handle statically in the initial position; said boning and sectioning tool of the handle in two halves called cheeks consists of an arc where two parallel and parallel blades are mounted that move linearly in the direction of the handle by effect of the sliding carriage where the rotating turret holding said third is mounted arm, so that it cuts the handle in two halves called cheeks, freeing the bone in the middle In order to detach the bone from the pointed end of the rotating shaft of the first fastening element, the latter rotates partially, preferably 30 degrees, and the deboning and sectioning tool moves in the opposite direction to the first cutting movement, so that the rear parts and The edge of the parallel attached blades meet the bone at its widest section, freeing it from the pointed end of the arrow.

In the preferred embodiment of the invention, said rotary drive means of the rotating turret consist of a pulsed motor controlled by a central processing unit that allows positioning sufficiently precise for the application.

In another of the embodiments of the invention, the linear drive means for linearly moving the carriage where the rotating turret is assembled consist of an endless screw that is driven by a pulsed motor controlled by said central processing unit.

In another embodiment of the invention, the clamping tool of said first arm of the rotating turret consists of a container with a vanished internal surface which, by itself, centers the fruit. The orientation is defined by the internal surface fade that positions the handle recognizing that in all types of handle can be identified the maximum and minimum width. The bone is always oriented according to the minimum width.

In another embodiment of the invention, the pointed end of the rotary arrow of said first fastening element of the handle, has a fork shape of three or more tips adapted to be nailed in the longitudinal end of the bone of the handle and keep it firm.

In another embodiment of the invention the peeling tool of the second arm of the rotating turret consists of a blade with a circular edge comprising a wheel / bearing that rolls on the surface of the fruit even without peeling but guiding the blade edge To circulate to a minimum depth by the outer perimeter of the fruit so that the pulp does not penetrate too much. Which happens while said rotating arrow where the handle is driven continuously rotates; the movement composed of the rotation caused by the pulse motor of the rotating arrow where the handle is nailed together with the linear movement of the entire rotating turret mounted on the linearly slidable carriage allows to ensure a spiral peeling cut along the handle .

In another embodiment of the invention said deboning tool and sectioned in two halves or cheeks of the handle defined by an arc that supports two parallel attached blades partially separated, whose separation is a function of the thickness of the bone of the handle; being able to comprise a self-adjusting mechanism of separation of the parallel attached blades that can be approximated or separated according to the thickness of the bone during the cutting, that is to say that said adjustment mechanism allows the blades to follow the contour of the bone of the handle to avoid shrinkage of pulp in the cut.

The machine has a central processing unit that by means of software and sensor elements controls all drive motors and actuators for each unit operation and synchronizes the movements in the rotation of the turret to position the different arms with the different tools in accordance with each operation; synchronizes the longitudinal displacement of the sliding carriage where said rotating turret is mounted to coordinate smooth and fine displacements of the tools, of the actuators and of the different pulse motors of the fruit fixing elements.

Said central processing unit operates each operation in a synchronized manner independently, executing one step at a time according to the unit operation required and accurately displacing each tool.

A plurality of machines can be arranged in battery to be able to process greater volume of handles in a production line and increase the speeds of the process and with it the production and productivity.

In order to better understand the characteristics of the invention, the present description, as an integral part thereof, is accompanied by the drawings, which are illustrative but not limitative, which are described below.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1 shows a conventional perspective view of the machine for processing handle according to the present invention.

Figure 2 shows a front view of the machine for processing handle according to the present invention.

Figure 3 shows a top view of the machine for processing handle according to the present invention.

Figure 4 illustrates in conventional perspective a detail of the machine for processing handle according to the present invention.

For a better understanding of the invention, a detailed description will be made of some of the modalities thereof, shown in the drawings that are attached to the present description for non-limiting illustrative purposes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The characteristic details of the handle processing machine according to the present invention are clearly shown in the following description and in the accompanying illustrative drawings, the same reference signs serving to indicate the same parts.

With reference to figures 1 to 3 showing a conventional perspective view, a front view and a top view, respectively, of the machine for processing handle according to the present invention. In said figures the machine for processing handle automatically, in accordance with the present invention, consists of a support structure 1 holding a rotating turret 2 on an axis 3 which, connected by pulleys and a toothed band 24, controls the rotation by means of a pulsed motor 4, and that is mounted on a car slide 5 with linear displacement in rails 6 fixed in the support structure 1 and comprising as linear drive means a worm (not shown) driven by a pulsed motor 7 (not shown in figures 1 and 2 to be in the part back of the structure, see Fig. 3). In said rotating turret 2, three arms (a first arm 8, a second arm 9 and a third arm 10) are mounted radially and with a certain distance from each other, preferably with a separation of 60 °; each arm comprises at its end a tool for holding, peeling, deboning and severing the handle 15 (not part of the invention but shown for clarity) respectively in two halves called cheeks.

Said first arm 8 comprises a holding tool 11 consisting of a container 12 with a vanished internal surface which alone centers the mango fruit 15 individually, which is supplied from a feeder (not shown) which can be a band , a transporter of canjilones, a ramp, etc. and wherein said first arm 8 partially rotates by action of the pulsed motor 4 of said rotating turret 2 to position each handle 15 in an area where a rotary arrow 13 with a pointed end in the form of a fork 14 of three or more points is arranged. and allowing the handle 15 to fit into it during the linear travel of the slide carriage 5; said pointed end in the form of a fork 14 of three or more points it penetrates a longitudinal end of the bone of the handle 15 to secure it when the sliding carriage 5 makes a linear approach path approaching the first arm 8 with the handle 15 inserted in the pointed end in the form of fork 14 of three or more points of said rotating arrow 13; said rotary arrow 13 comprises a pulsed motor 25 (see figures 2 and 3) connected to a coupling transmission 16 to rotate it. A counterpoint 17 disposed collinearly with respect to the end of said rotating shaft 13 is mounted on a linear actuator 18 to bring the tailstock 17 closer and fit it on the opposite longitudinal end of the handle bone 15 for greater stability.

Said second arm 9 comprises a peeling tool 19, which is actuated when the handle 15 has been engaged in the pointed ends of the rotating shaft 13 and the tailstock 17 and the first arm 8 with the holding tool 11 has been retired; said peeling tool 19 consists of a circular blade 20 comprising a wheel / bearing (not shown) that rolls on the surface of the handle 15 even without peeling but which guides the circular blade 20 at a minimum depth perimeter outside of the mango fruit 15 so that the pulp does not penetrate too much. The movement that positions said peeling tool 19 is executed by effect of the rotation of the rotating turret 2 and is adapted to traverse the contour of the handle 15 by action of the slide carriage 5 to completely remove the skin from the handle 15; while the handle 15 rotates in said rotary arrow 13 which is rotated by the pulsed motor 25 and by means of the transmission 16. Once the handle 15 is peeled the counterpoint is removed by the effect of the linear actuator 18 and returned to its original position and the rotary arrow 13 has stopped rotating by positioning the handle 15 statically in the initial position.

The arm 9 has a spring (not shown) connected from the arm to the rotating turret 2 and which serves to maintain the peeling tool 19 in contact with the handle 15 during peeling. In addition, the relatively constant recharging force is maintained by means of the automatic control of the motor 4 of the rotating turret 2.

Said third arm 10 comprises a deboning and sectioning tool 21 in two halves or cheeks of the handle 15, which is actuated when the handle 15 is finished and the second arm 9 has been removed with the peeling tool 19. Said third arm 10 is actuated by the rotation of the rotating turret 2 and the linear displacement of the sliding carriage 5 where the rotating turret 2 is mounted and positioned next to the longitudinal end of the handle 15 where the counterpoint 17 is fitted, said boning tool and Section 21 of the handle 15 in two halves called cheeks, consists of an arc 22 that supports two parallel and parallel knives 23 that move in linear fashion in the direction of the handle 15 by the effect of the sliding carriage 5 where the rotating turret 2 holding said third arm 10 is mounted, so that it cuts the handle 15 in two halves called cheeks, freeing them from the bone.

To detach the bone from the pointed end in the form of a fork 14 of three or more points of the rotary shaft 13, it rotates partially, preferably by a 30 degree turn and the boning and sectioning tool 21 moves in the opposite direction to the first movement of the knife. cutting, so that the parallel attached cutting knives 23 that have no edge at the trailing edge, run into the bone of the handle at its widest section releasing it.

Figure 4 shows the components of the machine in the same orientation as Figure 1 but in greater detail, and which have already been widely described, so in this figure the same reference numbers are used to indicate the same parts of the machine.

The process of the machine begins with the feeding of handles 15 towards the rotating turret 2, where the handles are dosed into the holding tool 11 in a predetermined position and the process is started. The clamping tool 11 is aligned to the tip-shaped shaft in the form of a fork 14 of three or more points of the rotating shaft 13 for fixing the handle 15 and advances towards the required position due to the partial rotation of the rotary turret 2, pushing the handle 15 in a longitudinal direction with movement of the sliding carriage 5 up to the end tip of the rotating shaft 13 which penetrates the handle to the bone and the holding tool 11 is removed from the first arm 8 leaving the fruit fixed on the rotating shaft 13 ready to be processed.

The next step is the peeling where the handle 15 is rotated by pulsing the motor 24 (see figures 2 and 3) by means of the transmission 16 rotating said rotary arrow 13 where the handle 15 is driven; the rotation starts at the programmed speed while the circular blade 20 of the stripping tool 19 travels the surface of the handle 15 in the transverse direction and while the counterpoint 7 of the second clamping element of the handle 15 moves and extends linearly until a small point is nailed at the opposite end of the handle bone to provide greater stability in the handle 15 during its rotation, thus achieving a uniform turn and helping the handle 15 remain nailed. Once the peeling action is completed, the peeling tool 19 is removed and the tailstock 17 is retracted by the action of the linear actuator 18 and the rotary arrow 13 where the handle 15 is stopped, to proceed with the cut in two halves of the Mango calls cheeks and boning.

The rotating turret 2 rotates and presents the deboning and sectioning tool 21 fixed at the end of the third arm 10, in turn the rotary arrow 13 aligns the handle 15 so that the bone is parallel to the attached and parallel cutting knives 23 , the third arm 10 is advanced towards the handle by effect of the linear displacement of the sliding carriage 5 where the rotating turret 2 that holds the third arm 10 is mounted where said boning and sectioning tool 21 is fastened cutting it in its entirety, leaving two separated cheeks or pulp halves of the handle 15 and the bone being still nailed in the pointed end in the form of a fork 14 of three or more tips of the rotating shaft 13 in a static position.

To remove the bone, the rotary shaft 13 is rotated partially (preferably 30 degrees) so that the bone is rotated and oriented and so that upon return of the deboning and sectioning tool 21 the bone is expelled with the parallel attached razors 23 from the end of the rotating shaft 13 in a static position and the process can start again. This action is possible thanks to the fact that the attached and parallel knives 23 lack a back edge to push and not cut the bone of the handle 15.

The invention has been sufficiently described so that a person with average knowledge in the field can reproduce and obtain the results that we mentioned in the present invention. However, any person skilled in the field of the technology that is the subject of the present invention may be able to make modifications not described in the present application, however, if for the application of these modifications in a certain structure or in the manufacturing process thereof, the subject matter claimed in the following claims is required, said structures should be understood within the scope of the invention.
