Automatic cutting machine for potato seed potatoes

Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic cutting machine for potato seed potatoes. The machine comprises a machine frame and a conveying mechanism, and the conveying mechanism comprises a driving roller,a driven roller and a conveying belt connected between the driving roller and the driven roller; one end of the driving roller is connected with a first driving motor; the machine further comprises acontrol mechanism, a potato seed identifying mechanism and a plurality of sets of cutter mechanisms, wherein the potato seed identifying mechanism and the plurality of sets of cutter mechanisms are located above the conveying mechanism and are sequentially arranged in the conveying direction; the potato seed identifying mechanism comprises a dark box, an illuminating part and an image collectingpart, wherein the illuminating part and the image collecting part are arranged in the dark box; each set of cutter mechanism comprises a cutter capable of rotating and changing the angle, a second driving motor capable of driving the cutter to rotate, and a third driving motor capable of driving the cutter to move up and down; and cutter blades of the groups of cutter mechanisms are different in shape. According to the automatic cutting machine for potato seed potatoes, the size of the potato seed potatoes can be automatically judged, the potato seed potatoes can be cut into blocks in an equaldivision mode, the position of the bud eyes of the potato seed potatoes is automatically identified, the bud eyes in the process of the potato seed potatoes are prevented from being cut, and the utilization rate of the potato is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery and equipment, in particular to an automatic seed potato cutting machine. Background technique [0002] Potatoes are vegetatively propagated plants with tubers. There are more than one bud eye on a potato, generally there are 8-12 bud eyes. After planting, each bud eye will become an independent single plant. Crowding multiple plants together will not only affect the yield and quality of potatoes, Also cause the waste of a large amount of seeds, increased production cost, therefore all will potato be cut into pieces by bud eye every year before planting, then the seed potato that has been cut into pieces is germinated, and the seed potato after the germination can be sown in the ground. [0003] Traditional pure manual cutting has low work efficiency and high labor costs. The automatic seed potato cutting machines that have appeared on the market are only purely mechanical for fixed...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Potatoes are vegetatively propagated plants with tubers. There are more than one bud eye on a potato, generally there are 8-12 bud eyes. After planting, each bud eye will become an independent single plant. Crowding multiple plants together will not only affect the yield and quality of potatoes, It also causes a lot of waste of seeds and increases the production cost. Therefore, before sowing every year, the potatoes should be cut into pieces according to the bud eyes, and then the cut potatoes should be germinated, and the seed potatoes after the germination can be sown into the ground.

[0003] Traditional pure manual cutting has low work efficiency and high labor costs. The automatic seed potato cutting machines that have appeared on the market are only purely mechanical for fixed and equal cutting of seed potatoes, and do not have variable equal cutting. And bud eye recognition function, it is easy to have problems such as cutting seed buds and unreasonable size of seed potatoes after cutting in the cutting process, resulting in great waste of potato seed
