Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for peeling, including a peeling means, a fixing means, a first motor, a second motor, a control device for controlling the peeling means, a three-dimensional (3D) modeling apparatus configured to acquire three-dimensional coordinates of the surface of the item to be peeled, and a processing and controlling unit, wherein the processing and controlling unit is connected to the three-dimensional modeling apparatus and configured to determine an operating parameter of the peeling means, an operating parameter of the first motor and an operating parameter of the second motor, the processing and controlling unit is further connected to the first motor and controls the first motor to drive the movement of the fixing means, the processing and controlling unit is further connected to the second motor and control the second motor to drive the movement of the peeling means.

A slicer is provided. The slicer comprises a body (1), a food mounting device (3), a food cutting device (4), and a cover (2). The cover (2) is removably mounted to the body (1). The food mounting device (3) is adapted for mounting food on the food cutting device (4). The food cutting device (4) is adapted for cutting the food mounted by the food mounting device (3). The body (1) comprises a first receiving portion (51) adapted for receiving the food cutting device (4) inside the body (1).

A produce cutting apparatus is utilized, among other things, for making single cuts in an elongated produce product to trim ends, segment the product into variable length segments, make fixed length segments, and cutting out undesirable portions of the produce product. Using a combination of a feed belt, sensor, radial cutter apparatus and programmable controller, the apparatus precisely locates each cut. The cutting blade makes a single cut with each rotation of the radial cutter apparatus. The apparatus may further have a piece removal system and a product holding system.

An adjustable vegetable food machine is provided. A T-shaped chute is provided lengthwise on and penetrates through a top surface of the main body frame with a food fixing mechanism being detachably mounted therein. The bottom of the food fixing mechanism is provided with a slider slidable along the T-shaped chute. A dismountable food cutting mechanism is provided on the main body frame and includes a panel, a knife seat connected to the panel through a rotating shaft, a rear cover, a push button lock, and a shift push button. The shift push button slides along a length direction of the slot to adjust a cutting angle of the knife seat with respect to the front of the panel. The structure of the present invention is simple and safe, convenient for disassembly and assembly and cleaning, and convenient for storage.

In an exemplary embodiment, a blade portion 41 is formed by a plurality of blades 42 being arrayed on a front surface of a main body at an even interval while forming blade striation portions 43 between adjacent blades 42. Each blade 42 is cut into a circular-arc shape. A pitch between the blades 42 is in a range of 1 to 3 mm. A recess-portion apex composed of a cut surface of each blade 42 has a rounded shape with a radius of 1.0 to 3.0 mm. A protrusion-portion apex of the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. A tip of the blade 42 formed by the blade striation portion 43 has a rounded shape with a radius of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.

In an embodiment, a peeling device includes: a vertical rotation disk 110 provided in a rotation shaft that extends horizontally; a plurality of fruit and vegetable holders 131 rotatably provided around a rotation axis of the vertical rotation disk 110, each supporting a fruit or vegetable K in a support portion 131C that extends from a disk surface 110A of the vertical rotation disk 110; and a peeler main body 202 that moves along an axial direction of the fruit or vegetable K in a state in which a peeler blade 202A is pressed against the fruit or vegetable K. At a peeling position, the fruit or vegetable K is rotated by the fruit and vegetable holder 131 being rotated, and full-periphery peeling by the peeler blade 202A is performed by the peeler main body 202 moving along the axial direction of the fruit or vegetable K.

In an embodiment of a fruit and vegetable holder 101, a plurality of fruit and vegetable pins 103 that pierce and hold a fruit or vegetable and are formed such as to be sharp are arranged on one end side, the other end side serves as a connecting section that is concentrically connected to a fruit and vegetable rotation shaft 105 that can be rotated by being driven by a fruit and vegetable rotation motor 107, such as to be capable of integrally rotating with the fruit and vegetable rotation shaft 105.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and a device for peeling, including a peeling means, a fixing means, a first motor, a second motor, a control device for controlling the peeling means, a three-dimensional (3D) modeling apparatus configured to acquire three-dimensional coordinates of the surface of the item to be peeled, and a processing and controlling unit, wherein the processing and controlling unit is connected to the three-dimensional modeling apparatus and configured to determine an operating parameter of the peeling means, an operating parameter of the first motor and an operating parameter of the second motor, the processing and controlling unit is further connected to the first motor and controls the first motor to drive the movement of the fixing means, the processing and controlling unit is further connected to the second motor and control the second motor to drive the movement of the peeling means.

Disclosed are a machine for peeling bulbs and tubers and a peeling blade member applied to the machine for peeling bulbs and tubers.
