Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically to a food cutting line. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet potatoes, known as yams in Sichuan, have a special protective effect on the mucous membranes of human organs. They can inhibit cholesterol deposition, maintain blood vessel elasticity, prevent the atrophy of connective tissue in the liver and kidneys, and prevent collagen diseases. Sweet potato skin is usually made by heating sweet potato flour, resulting in a soft and elastic texture. Currently, the production of sweet potato skin is all done manually by workers. To improve efficiency, sweet potato flour is usually poured onto a long, rectangular forming pan, and then the pan and flour are heated together. The heated skin becomes somewhat sticky and is quite hot. At this point, oil and other seasonings are brushed onto the skin before it is cut into small strips for packaging. Cutting the skin into pieces is usually done manually by workers, which raises hygiene concerns. Furthermore, manually cutting the skin presents challenges such as the stickiness making it difficult to cut and the high temperature posing a risk of burns to workers' hands. Summary of the Invention

[0003] One objective of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a food cutting line for automatically cutting sweet potato skins.

[0004] In one aspect, a food slitting line is described, comprising a first slitting line including a first conveying device, a second power unit, a first cutting assembly, and a second cutting assembly. The first cutting assembly is mounted on the inlet end of the first conveying device and is driven to rotate circumferentially by the second power unit. The second cutting assembly is mounted on the outlet end of the first conveying device. A second slitting line is also described, comprising a fifth conveying device, a fourth power unit, and a third cutting assembly. The fifth conveying device is configured to receive products cut by the first slitting line. The third cutting assembly is mounted on the fifth conveying device and is driven to slide vertically by the fourth power unit. The first cutting assembly includes an optical axis disposed above the inlet end of the first conveying device. The optical axis is horizontally positioned and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying device. The second power unit... The first cutting assembly includes a first power component; a blade holder, which is disposed above the discharge end of the first conveying device and is driven to slide vertically by the first power component; a second blade, which is disposed inside the blade holder and has its blade edge perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveying device; a third cutting assembly includes a mounting plate, which is disposed above the fifth conveying device and is driven to slide vertically by the fourth power component; and at least one set of third blades, which are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the mounting plate and have their blade edges parallel to the conveying direction of the fifth conveying device.

[0005] To prevent displacement of the product during cutting, the second cutting assembly of this invention preferably includes a top plate fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the blade holder; two sets of first guide rods respectively disposed on both sides of the second blade, one end of which extends vertically upward through the top plate and is slidable vertically relative to the top plate; two sets of pressure plates disposed on both sides of the second blade, corresponding to and fixedly connected to the two sets of first guide rods; and a first spring sleeved on the outside of the first guide rod between the pressure plate and the top plate. Before the second blade contacts the sweet potato peel, the pressure plate contacts the peel first, thereby fixing the peel on both sides of the blade and preventing it from moving before cutting, which would affect the cutting length and shape. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the pressure plate and the top plate. After the pressure plate contacts the peel, the second blade continues to move downward, at which point the top plate compresses the spring. After the second blade rises, the spring rebounds, pushing the pressure plate to quickly return to its original position.

[0006] To prevent the product from shifting during cutting, preferably, the third cutting assembly of the present invention further includes at least two sets of pressure rods, which are arranged parallel to the third blade, and the third blade is disposed between adjacent pressure rods; a first connecting rod, one end of which is connected to the pressure rod and the other end extends vertically upward through the mounting plate, the pressure rod and the mounting plate maintaining relative sliding; and a second spring, which is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting rod between the pressure rod and the mounting plate. By setting up pressure rods and placing the third blade between them, when the third cutting assembly slides vertically down under the action of the fourth power component, the pressure rods will contact the upper surface of the sweet potato peel before the third blade, thus fixing the sweet potato peel. As the fourth power component continues to operate, the pressure rods, having already contacted the sweet potato peel, will stop moving, while the third blade will continue to slide vertically down, cutting the sweet potato peel fixed by the pressure rods into strips of equal width. Simultaneously, as the third blade continues to slide down, the mounting plate connected to the third blade will also move along the axis of the first connecting rod connected to the pressure rod, compressing the second spring sleeved on the first connecting rod. The reaction force of the second spring will squeeze the pressure rod, causing it to press the sweet potato peel with a certain pressure, thus fixing the sweet potato peel without damaging it. At the same time, when the fourth power component drives the third cutting assembly to slide vertically upward, the compressed second spring will push the pressure rod to quickly return to its original position, preventing the pressure rod from getting stuck and thus failing to fix the sweet potato peel.

[0007] To improve packaging efficiency, preferably, the first slitting line in this invention further includes an overlapping component, which is disposed between the first cutting component and the second cutting component. The overlapping component includes a second roller, which is horizontally disposed above the first conveying device. The second roller is rotatable circumferentially. There are multiple second rollers, which are linearly arranged along the conveying direction of the first conveying device. The component also includes a guide component, which includes multiple sets of guide portions distributed along the axial direction of the second roller. Each set of guide portions includes multiple guide wheels, which are radially distributed along the second roller. The guide wheels are alternately arranged with the second rollers and extend vertically upward from below the second roller to above it. A travel channel is formed between the adjacent guide section and the second roller, allowing sweet potato peels to pass through. One end of the strips of sweet potato peel on the conveyor belt is overlapped with a preset number of layers and passes through the inlet of the travel channel. After exiting from the outlet of the travel channel, they are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt. The overlapping end of the sweet potato peel continues to travel with the conveyor belt, driving the subsequent sweet potato peels to continue moving. Under the constraint of the guide component, the subsequent sweet potato peels will also overlap in the travel channel like the overlapping end, thereby realizing the automatic overlap of the sweet potato peels and improving packaging efficiency.

[0008] To adapt to actual processing needs, preferably, the guide portion of the present invention further includes a first connecting plate, which is disposed below the second roller. The guide wheel is mounted on the upper surface of the first connecting plate, and the first connecting plate has strip-shaped holes at both ends. The overlapping assembly further includes a second connecting plate, which is disposed parallel to the second roller. Multiple connecting holes are formed on the upper surface of the second connecting plate, and these connecting holes are equidistantly arranged along the extending direction of the second connecting plate. By corresponding the strip-shaped holes to the connecting holes at different positions, the position, width, and direction of the travel channel can be adjusted, thereby adaptively adjusting the position, width, and direction of the travel channel according to the installation direction of the production line, product specifications, etc.

[0009] To correct the product's position and posture, the production line of this invention also includes a correction line for correcting the product's position and posture. The correction line includes a fourth conveyor device, one end of which is connected to one end of the aforementioned fifth conveyor device; and a correction assembly disposed on the fourth conveyor device. The correction assembly includes two sets of first correction portions, which are arranged opposite to each other and inclined from the outside of the fourth conveyor device toward the center of the fourth conveyor device. Each first correction portion includes a first mounting plate and a first correction wheel. The first mounting plate is inclined from the outside of the fourth conveyor device toward the center of the fourth conveyor device. The conveying device extends from the middle, and there are multiple first correction wheels arranged linearly and equidistantly along the extension direction of the first mounting plate; and a second correction part, which is arranged in a number corresponding to the first correction part and is connected to one end of the first correction part near the middle of the fourth conveying device. The second correction part is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device. The second correction part includes a second mounting plate and second correction wheels. The second mounting plate is connected to the first mounting plate and extends along the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device. The second correction wheels are arranged linearly and equidistantly along the extension direction of the second mounting plate. Two sets of first and second correction sections form a correction channel through which the product can pass. The correction assembly is installed on the fourth conveying device. The outward extension end of the first correction section is located at the feed end of the fourth conveying device. The sweet potato peel moves into the correction channel under the action of the fourth conveying device. Since the first correction section is inclined from the outside of the feed end to the middle of the discharge end, the sweet potato peel will gradually move towards the middle of the fourth conveying device under the action of the first correction section. At the same time, under the action of the second correction section, the edges of the sweet potato peel will move when they touch the second correction section, so that the edge side of the sweet potato peel contacts the second correction section. Since the second correction section is set along the conveying direction of the fifth conveying device, the edges on both sides of the sweet potato peel will remain parallel to the conveying direction of the fifth conveying device, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the posture of the sweet potato peel.

[0010] To improve the applicability of the line, preferably, the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate in this invention are pivotally connected. The straightening line also includes an adjusting component for adjusting the spacing and angle between the straightening components. This adjusting component includes a connecting seat mounted on both sides of the fourth conveying device; and an adjusting rod, one end of which is connected to the first and second straightening parts, and the other end extending through the connecting seat to the outside of the fourth conveying device, with the adjusting rod sliding relative to the connecting seat. By adjusting the spacing between the straightening parts and the tilt angle of the first straightening part using the adjusting component, the entire straightening assembly can be adapted to the specifications of the sweet potato peel.

[0011] To adjust the spacing between products, preferably, the slitting line in this invention also includes a material blocking conveyor line that can prevent products from continuing to move forward. The material blocking conveyor line includes a third conveying device, one end of which is connected to the fourth conveying device; and a material blocking assembly, which is installed at the feed end of the third conveying device. The material blocking assembly includes a third power component; a pawl, which is driven to move horizontally by the third power component; and a push plate, which is fixedly disposed relative to the third power component, and the lower surface of the push plate contacts the upper surface of the pawl. The power unit drives the guard claw to move horizontally to the end of the conveyor belt to receive the sweet potato strips output from the conveyor belt. After the previous sweet potato strip has moved for a certain period of time, the power unit drives the guard claw to retract. During the retraction process, the push plate will push the sweet potato strip on the guard claw out of the guard claw, causing it to slide onto the conveyor belt. This achieves the adjustment of the spacing between the sweet potato strips. At the same time, when the subsequent line malfunctions or needs maintenance, this mechanism blocks the material from moving, so that the subsequent line can be maintained without stopping the preceding line.

[0012] To facilitate adjustment of the position of the material stop assembly according to actual processing needs, the material stop assembly also includes a third mounting plate with second strip-shaped holes on both sides of its upper part and a mounting hole at its lower part; a power component mounting plate, on which the aforementioned third power component is fixedly mounted, with connecting holes at both ends of the power component mounting plate, and bolts passing through the second strip-shaped holes and tightening them to secure the power component mounting plate to the third mounting plate; and a fixing plate, with a first strip-shaped hole on its upper surface, and bolts passing through the first strip-shaped hole and tightening them to secure the fixing plate to the third mounting plate. Loosening the bolts allows the power component mounting plate to move along the second strip-shaped holes, thereby changing the height of the stop claw. A first strip-shaped hole is formed on the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a mounting hole is formed at the lower part of the mounting plate corresponding to the first strip-shaped hole, with bolts passing through the first strip-shaped hole and tightening them to connect the fixing plate to the mounting plate. Loosening the bolts allows the mounting plate to move along the first strip-shaped hole, thereby changing the landing point of the sweet potato peel on the stop claw.

[0013] To achieve more flexible connection between upstream and downstream production lines or between production lines and equipment, preferably, the production line further includes a first connecting line and a second connecting line. The first connecting line connects the first slitting line and the material blocking conveyor line, and the second connecting line connects the second slitting line and the packaging equipment. The first connecting line includes a second conveying device connected to the first slitting line of the previous process; a connecting plate fixedly installed on both sides of the lower surface of the conveying device; a movable support pivotally connected to the connecting plate at its top, with multiple first insertion holes on the lower part of its side; a fixed support, its upper part attached to the lower part of the movable support, allowing the movable support to slide vertically along the fixed support, with multiple second insertion holes corresponding to the insertion holes on the upper part of the fixed support; and a pin inserted into the corresponding first and second insertion holes. The second connecting line includes a sixth conveying device, which includes a first conveying device and... A second conveying device is provided, with the first conveying device arranged horizontally overall, and one end of the second conveying device pivotally connected to one end of the first conveying device; a lifting assembly is configured to allow the first conveying device to slide vertically, the lifting assembly including a fixed column and a movable column, the movable column being partially integrated into the fixed column and capable of sliding vertically relative to the fixed column, the top of the movable column being connected to the bottom of the first conveying device; and an angle adjustment assembly is configured to drive the second conveying device to pivot about its connection end with the first conveying device, the angle adjustment assembly including a fixed rod, a pivoting part, a screw, and a connecting rod, the fixed rod being fixedly installed on the movable column, one end of the pivoting part being sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod, the pivoting part being circumferentially rotatable along the fixed rod, the screw being threadedly connected to the end of the pivoting part away from the fixed rod, the connecting rod being fixedly installed below the second conveying device, the end of the screw away from the pivoting part being sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, and the end of the screw connected to the connecting rod being circumferentially rotatable along the connecting rod. Pulling out the pin and sliding the movable support allows adjustment of the height of the conveyor device. The device can also be rotated to adjust its tilt angle, thus allowing for adjustment of the height and angle of the first conveyor mechanism based on the height of the preceding and following conveyor lines, enabling more flexible connection between them. A lifting assembly drives the second connecting line to slide vertically, adjusting its height. An angle adjustment assembly rotates the second conveyor around its connection point with the first conveyor, adjusting its angle. This connects one end of the first conveyor to a device with greater height, and the other end of the second conveyor to a device with less height. Adjusting the angle of the second conveyor and the height of the first conveyor based on the height difference between the two devices allows for seamless connection between devices with different height differences.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention uses a first conveying device to move the product forward, and a second power component to drive the first cutting assembly to rotate circumferentially. The rotating first blade cuts the product being moved forward by the first conveying device into continuous strips with a relatively large width. The first power component then drives the second blade to slide vertically down, further cutting the product cut by the first blade into equal-sized blocks. Under the action of the conveying device, the block-shaped products are further sent to a fifth conveying device. When the fifth conveying device carries the product past the third cutting assembly, a fourth power component drives the mounting plate to slide down as a whole, thereby causing the third cutting blade to slide down as well, cutting the block-shaped products into strips with a smaller width. This achieves automatic cutting of sweet potato peel and reduces labor intensity.

[0016] Before the second blade contacts the sweet potato peel, the pressure plate contacts the peel first, thus fixing the peel on both sides of the blade and preventing it from moving before cutting, which would affect the cutting length and shape. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the pressure plate and the top plate. After the pressure plate contacts the sweet potato peel, the second blade continues to move downwards. At this time, the top plate compresses the spring. After the second blade rises, the spring rebounds, pushing the pressure plate to quickly return to its original position.

[0017] By setting up pressure rods and placing the third blade between them, when the third cutting assembly slides vertically down under the action of the fourth power component, the pressure rods will contact the upper surface of the sweet potato peel before the third blade, thus fixing the sweet potato peel. As the fourth power component continues to operate, the pressure rods, having already contacted the sweet potato peel, will stop moving, while the third blade will continue to slide vertically down, cutting the sweet potato peel fixed by the pressure rods into strips of equal width. Simultaneously, as the third blade continues to slide down, the mounting plate connected to the third blade will also move along the axis of the first connecting rod connected to the pressure rod, compressing the second spring sleeved on the first connecting rod. The reaction force of the second spring will squeeze the pressure rod, causing it to press the sweet potato peel with a certain pressure, thus fixing the sweet potato peel without damaging it. At the same time, when the fourth power component drives the third cutting assembly to slide vertically upward, the compressed second spring will push the pressure rod to quickly return to its original position, preventing the pressure rod from getting stuck and thus failing to fix the sweet potato peel.

[0018] A travel channel is formed between the adjacent guide section and the second roller, allowing sweet potato peels to pass through. One end of the strips of sweet potato peel on the conveyor belt is overlapped with a preset number of layers and passes through the inlet of the travel channel. After exiting from the outlet of the travel channel, they are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt. The overlapping end of the sweet potato peel continues to travel with the conveyor belt, driving the subsequent sweet potato peels to continue moving. Under the constraint of the guide component, the subsequent sweet potato peels will also overlap in the travel channel like the overlapping end, thereby realizing the automatic overlap of the sweet potato peels and improving packaging efficiency.

[0019] By aligning the strip holes with the connecting holes at different positions, the position, width, and direction of the travel channel can be adjusted, thereby adapting the position, width, and direction of the travel channel according to the installation direction of the line, product specifications, etc.

[0020] Two sets of first and second correction sections form a correction channel through which the product can pass. The correction assembly is installed on the conveyor line. The outward extension end of the first correction section is located at the feed end of the fourth conveyor. The sweet potato peel moves into the correction channel under the action of the fourth conveyor. Since the first correction section is inclined from the outside of the feed end to the middle of the discharge end, the sweet potato peel will gradually move towards the middle of the conveyor line under the action of the first correction section. At the same time, under the action of the second correction section, the edges of the sweet potato peel will move when they touch the second correction section, so that the edge side of the sweet potato peel contacts the second correction section. Since the second correction section is set along the conveying direction of the fifth conveyor, the edges on both sides of the sweet potato peel will remain parallel to the conveying direction of the fifth conveyor, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the posture of the sweet potato peel.

[0021] By adjusting the spacing between the correction components and the tilt angle of the first correction component, the entire correction component can be adapted to the specifications of the sweet potato peel.

[0022] The power unit drives the guard claw to move horizontally to the end of the conveyor belt to receive the sweet potato strips output from the conveyor belt. After the previous sweet potato strip has moved for a certain period of time, the power unit drives the guard claw to retract. During the retraction process, the push plate will push the sweet potato strip on the guard claw out of the guard claw, causing it to slide onto the conveyor belt. This achieves the adjustment of the spacing between the sweet potato strips. At the same time, when the subsequent line malfunctions or needs maintenance, this mechanism blocks the material from moving, so that the subsequent line can be maintained without stopping the preceding line.

[0023] Loosening the bolt allows the power component mounting plate to move along the second slotted hole, thereby changing the height of the stop claw. A first slotted hole is formed on the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a mounting hole is formed on the lower part of the mounting plate corresponding to the first slotted hole. A bolt is passed through the first slotted hole and tightened into the mounting hole to connect the fixing plate and the mounting plate. Loosening the bolt allows the mounting plate to move along the first slotted hole, thereby changing the landing point of the pawl.

[0024] Pulling out the pin and sliding the movable support allows adjustment of the height of the conveyor device. The device can also be rotated to adjust its tilt angle, thus allowing for adjustment of the height and angle of the first conveyor mechanism based on the height of the preceding and following conveyor lines, enabling more flexible connection between them. A lifting assembly drives the second connecting line to slide vertically, adjusting its height. An angle adjustment assembly rotates the second conveyor around its connection point with the first conveyor, adjusting its angle. This connects one end of the first conveyor to a device with greater height, and the other end of the second conveyor to a device with less height. Adjusting the angle of the second conveyor and the height of the first conveyor based on the height difference between the two devices allows for seamless connection between devices with different height differences.

The side of the first fixing plate 523 away from the end of the crossbeam 521 has a second connection hole corresponding to the first connection hole. The fixing plate and the fourth power component are fixed by inserting connecting bolts into the first connection hole and the second connection hole and tightening nuts. At least one set of the third blades 529 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the mounting plate 525.

[0061] The aforementioned third cutting assembly also includes a third connecting plate 522 and a second guide rod 524. The third connecting plate 522 is L-shaped and is fixedly installed on the upper surface of one end of the aforementioned crossbeam. One end of the second guide rod 524 is fixedly installed on the side of the aforementioned third connecting plate 522 away from the end of the crossbeam, and the other end of the second guide rod extends vertically downward through the second power component mounting plate 540. The guide rod 524 and the aforementioned second power component mounting plate 540 maintain relative sliding.

[0062] The first conveyor drives the product forward, and the second power unit drives the first cutting assembly to rotate around its circumference. The rotating first blade cuts the product carried by the first conveyor into a continuous strip with a relatively large width. The first power unit drives the second blade to slide vertically down, further cutting the product cut by the first blade into equal-sized blocks. Under the action of the conveyor, the block-shaped products are further sent to the fifth conveyor. When the fifth conveyor carries the product past the third cutting assembly, the fourth power unit drives the mounting plate to slide down as a whole, thereby causing the third cutting blade to slide down as well, cutting the block-shaped products into strips with a smaller width. This realizes the automatic cutting of sweet potato peel and reduces labor intensity.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] To prevent product displacement during cutting, which could hinder accurate placement within the packaging during subsequent packaging processes, this embodiment proposes further improvements upon Embodiment 1. For example... Figures 7-8 As shown, the second cutting assembly 130 also includes a top plate 132, a first guide rod 134, a pressure plate 136, and a first spring 135. The top plate 132 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the blade holder 133. There are two sets of first guide rods 134, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the second blade 137. One end of the first guide rod 134 extends vertically upward through the top plate and can slide vertically relative to the top plate. There are two sets of pressure plates 136, which are arranged on both sides of the second blade and correspond to and are fixedly connected to the two sets of first guide rods. The first spring is sleeved on the outside of the first guide rod between the pressure plate and the top plate.

[0065] like Figures 19-20 As shown, the third cutting assembly 520 also includes at least two sets of pressure rods 526, a first connecting rod 528, and a second spring 527. The at least two sets of pressure rods are arranged parallel to the third blade. The third blade is arranged between adjacent pressure rods 526. One end of the first connecting rod 528 is connected to the pressure rod, and the other end extends vertically upward through the mounting plate. The pressure rod slides relative to the mounting plate. The second spring 527 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting rod between the pressure rod and the mounting plate.

[0066] Before the second blade contacts the sweet potato peel, the pressure plate contacts the peel first, thus fixing the peel on both sides of the blade and preventing it from moving before cutting, which would affect the cutting length and shape. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod between the pressure plate and the top plate. After the pressure plate contacts the sweet potato peel, the second blade continues to move downwards. At this time, the top plate compresses the spring. After the second blade rises, the spring rebounds, pushing the pressure plate to quickly return to its original position. By setting up pressure rods and placing the third blade between them, when the third cutting assembly slides vertically down under the action of the fourth power component, the pressure rods will contact the upper surface of the sweet potato peel before the third blade, thus fixing the sweet potato peel. As the fourth power component continues to operate, the pressure rods, having already contacted the sweet potato peel, will stop moving, while the third blade will continue to slide vertically down, cutting the sweet potato peel fixed by the pressure rods into strips of equal width. Simultaneously, as the third blade continues to slide down, the mounting plate connected to the third blade will also move along the axis of the first connecting rod connected to the pressure rod, compressing the second spring sleeved on the first connecting rod. The reaction force of the second spring will squeeze the pressure rod, causing it to press the sweet potato peel with a certain pressure, thus fixing the sweet potato peel without damaging it. At the same time, when the fourth power component drives the third cutting assembly to slide vertically upward, the compressed second spring will push the pressure rod to quickly return to its original position, preventing the pressure rod from getting stuck and thus failing to fix the sweet potato peel.

[0067] A limiting ring can also be provided at the top of the first connecting rod and the first guide rod, so that during the reset process, the limiting ring can limit the movement stroke of the first connecting rod or the first guide rod, and prevent the parts from coming off.

[0068] Example 3

[0069] Because sweet potato peel is packaged by stacking multiple pieces of peel together and then vacuum-sealing them in a bag, the above embodiment can only cut a single piece of sweet potato peel. The cut pieces of sweet potato peel are then accepted by the subsequent packaging equipment. After continuously accepting multiple stacked pieces of sweet potato peel, an empty bag is replaced, resulting in low packaging efficiency.

[0070] To improve packaging efficiency, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first cutting line 100 also includes an overlapping component 120, which is disposed between the first cutting component and the second cutting component.

[0071] like Figures 4-6As shown, the overlapping assembly 120 includes a second roller 124, a mounting plate 121, a second connecting plate 122, and a guide assembly. The second roller 124 is horizontally positioned above the first conveying device and is connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 121 via bearings. There are multiple second rollers, which are arranged linearly along the conveying direction of the first conveying device. The guide assembly includes multiple sets of guide portions 125, which are distributed along the axial direction of the second roller 124. Each set of guide portions 125 includes multiple guide wheels 125C, which are distributed radially along the second roller. The multiple guide wheels are alternately arranged with the multiple second rollers and extend vertically upward from below the second roller to above the second roller. The aforementioned guide portion also includes a first connecting plate 125A, which is disposed below the second roller. The guide wheel is mounted on the upper surface of the first connecting plate, and the first connecting plate has strip-shaped holes at both ends. The second connecting plate 122 is fixedly mounted on the feed and discharge sides of the second roller assembly and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 121. The second connecting plate 122 is arranged parallel to the second roller 124, and a plurality of connecting holes 122A are provided on the upper surface of the second connecting plate 122. The plurality of connecting holes are equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting plate.

[0072] The mounting plate 121 is welded to both sides of the first conveying device. After adjusting the spacing and angle between the guide parts according to the specifications of the sweet potato peel and the conveying line, the strip hole of the first connecting plate 125A is aligned with the connecting hole of the second connecting plate. After passing the bolt through the strip hole and the connecting hole, the nut is tightened to fix the guide part. A traveling channel for the sweet potato peel to pass through is formed between the adjacent guide parts and the second roller 124. One end of the strip of sweet potato peel on the conveyor belt is overlapped with a preset number of layers and passes through the inlet of the traveling channel. After passing through the outlet of the traveling channel, it is placed on the surface of the conveyor belt. The overlapping end of the sweet potato peel continues to move with the conveyor belt and drives the subsequent sweet potato peel to continue moving. Under the restriction and guidance of the relatively set guide wheels, the non-overlapping sweet potato peel before the subsequent inlet will overlap in the traveling channel like the overlapping end after the outlet, thereby realizing the automatic overlap of the sweet potato peel and improving packaging efficiency. As the sweet potato peel moves through the channel, the second roller and guide wheel also rotate, which reduces the friction of the sweet potato peel movement.

[0073] To prevent the second connecting plate at the feed inlet of the travel channel from interfering with the overlapping of the sweet potato peels, a first roller 123 is provided on the side of the second connecting plate away from the second roller at the feed inlet of the travel channel. The two ends of the first roller are connected to the mounting plate via bearing seats, and the top of the first roller 123 is higher than the top of the second roller 124. By supporting the sweet potato peels on this side with the first roller 123, the tilting of the sweet potato peels from bottom to top is changed to tilting from top to bottom. At this time, the lower surface of the sweet potato peels will not contact the top of the second connecting plate, thereby solving the problem of the first connecting plate interfering with the overlapping of the sweet potato peels.

[0074] Example 4

[0075] Because the conveyor belts operate in different directions and are interconnected, the sweet potato peel may not be centered on the conveyor when it is moved from one conveyor to the next. Furthermore, the peel's posture may shift as it moves from one conveyor belt to the next, resulting in the cut shape and width not meeting requirements.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to correct the position and posture of the product, this embodiment also adds a correction line between the first slitting line and the second slitting line.

[0077] like Figure 15 As shown, the correction line 400 includes a fourth conveying device 410 and a correction component 420. One end of the fourth conveying device 410 is connected to one end of the fifth conveying device, and the correction component 420 is disposed on the fourth conveying device 410.

[0078] like Figure 16As shown, the correction assembly 420 includes a first correction part and a second correction part. There are two sets of the first correction part, which are arranged opposite to each other and inclined from the outside of the fourth conveying device toward the middle of the fourth conveying device. The first correction part includes a first mounting plate 424 and a first correction wheel 426. The first mounting plate 424 extends from the outside of the fourth conveying device toward the middle of the fourth conveying device. There are multiple first correction wheels 426, which are linearly and equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the first mounting plate 424. The second correction part is arranged to correspond to the number of the first correction parts and is connected to the end of the first correction part near the middle of the fourth conveying device. The second correction part is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device. The second correction part includes a second mounting plate 423 and a second correction wheel 425. The second mounting plate 423 is connected to the first mounting plate 424 and extends along the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device. The second correction wheel is linearly and equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the second mounting plate. Two sets of first and second correction sections form a correction channel through which the product can pass. The correction assembly is installed on the fourth conveying device. The outward extension end of the first correction section is located at the feed end of the fourth conveying device. The sweet potato peel moves into the correction channel under the action of the fourth conveying device. Since the first correction section is inclined from the outside of the feed end to the middle of the discharge end, the sweet potato peel will gradually move towards the middle of the fourth conveying device under the action of the first correction section. At the same time, under the action of the second correction section, the edges of the sweet potato peel will move when they touch the second correction section, so that the edge side of the sweet potato peel contacts the second correction section. Since the second correction section is set along the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device, the edges on both sides of the sweet potato peel will remain parallel to the conveying direction of the fourth conveying device, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the posture of the sweet potato peel.

[0079] Two sets of first and second correction sections form a correction channel through which the sweet potato peel can pass. Under the action of the fifth conveying device, the sweet potato peel moves into the correction channel. Since the first correction section is inclined from the outside of the feed end to the middle of the discharge end, the sweet potato peel will gradually move towards the middle of the fourth conveying device under the action of the first correction section. At the same time, under the action of the second correction section, the edges of the sweet potato peel will move when they touch the second correction section, so that the edge side of the sweet potato peel contacts the second correction section. Since the second correction section is set along the conveying direction of the fifth conveying device, the edges on both sides of the sweet potato peel will remain parallel to the conveying direction of the fifth conveying device, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the posture of the sweet potato peel. When the edge of the sweet potato peel touches the straightening wheel, its own movement will also drive the straightening wheel to rotate. As the straightening wheel rotates, it will cause the edge of the sweet potato peel to continue moving until the edge of the sweet potato peel comes into contact with multiple straightening wheels, at which point the sweet potato peel stops moving. Compared with a flat straightening mechanism, the straightening mechanism using the straightening wheel has less friction with the sweet potato peel and is less likely to get the sweet potato peel stuck in the straightening channel.

[0080] To improve the applicability of the correction line, in this embodiment, the first mounting plate 424 and the second mounting plate 423 are connected by a pivot shaft. The correction line also includes an adjustment component for adjusting the spacing and angle between the correction components. The adjustment component includes a connecting seat 422 and an adjustment rod 421. The connecting seat 421 is installed on both sides of the fourth conveying device. One end of the adjustment rod is connected to the first correction part and the second correction part, and the other end extends through the connecting seat to the outside of the conveying line. The adjustment rod and the connecting seat maintain relative sliding.

[0081] When both the adjusting rod connecting the first and second correction parts are slidably connected, the distance between the correction parts can be adjusted without changing the tilt angle of the first correction part. When only the adjusting rod connecting the first correction part is slidably connected, the first correction part will rotate circumferentially along the hinge axis between it and the second correction part, thereby changing the tilt angle of the first correction part. When only the adjusting rod connecting the second correction part is slidably connected, the second correction part will move horizontally, and the connecting end between the first and second correction parts will rotate. While changing the distance between the second correction parts, the tilt angle of the first correction part can also be changed.

[0082] Example 5

[0083] Because the sweet potato peel is cut into pieces with continuous spacing, which is not conducive to subsequent processing.

[0084] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to adjust the spacing between products, this embodiment adds a material blocking conveyor line 300 and a material blocking component 320 to the original slitting line to prevent the products from continuing to move forward. The material blocking conveyor line 300 includes a third conveying device 310, one end of which is connected to the fourth conveying device mentioned above, and the material blocking component 320 is installed at the feed end of the third conveying device 310.

[0085] like Figures 10-12As shown, the material blocking assembly 320 includes a third mounting plate 324, a power component mounting plate 325, a third power component 321, a stopper 326, a push plate 323, and a fixing plate 322. A first strip-shaped hole 322A is formed on the upper surface of the fixing plate. The third mounting plate 324 has second strip-shaped holes 324A on both sides of its upper part and a mounting hole at its lower part. Bolts are passed through the first strip-shaped holes and tightened into the mounting holes to fix the fixing plate to the third mounting plate. The third power component 321 is fixedly mounted on the power component mounting plate 325. The power component mounting plate 325 has connecting holes at both ends. Bolts are passed through the second strip-shaped holes and tightened into the connecting holes to fix the power component mounting plate to the third mounting plate. The push plate 323 is fixedly connected to the power component mounting plate via the second guide rod 327. The pawl 326 is penetrated by the second guide rod near the power component mounting plate, and the pawl 326 slides relative to the second guide rod. The pawl is connected to the output end of the third power component 321, which includes, but is not limited to, a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other devices that can drive the pawl to move linearly. The lower surface of the push plate 323 contacts the upper surface of the pawl 326.

[0086] The power unit drives the guard claw to move horizontally to the end of the conveyor belt to receive the sweet potato strips output from the conveyor belt. After the previous sweet potato strip has moved for a certain period of time, the power unit drives the guard claw to retract. During the retraction process, the push plate will push the sweet potato strip on the guard claw out of the guard claw, causing it to slide onto the conveyor belt. This achieves the adjustment of the spacing between the sweet potato strips. At the same time, when the subsequent line malfunctions or needs maintenance, this mechanism blocks the material from moving, so that the subsequent line can be maintained without stopping the preceding line.

[0087] Loosening the bolt allows the power component mounting plate to move along the second slotted hole, thereby changing the height of the stop claw. A first slotted hole is formed on the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a mounting hole is formed on the lower part of the mounting plate corresponding to the first slotted hole. A bolt is passed through the first slotted hole and tightened into the mounting hole to connect the fixing plate and the mounting plate. Loosening the bolt allows the mounting plate to move along the first slotted hole, thereby changing the landing point of the pawl.

[0088] Example 6

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to achieve more flexible connection between the front and rear lines or between the line and the equipment, the production line in this embodiment also adds a first connecting line 200 between the first slitting line and the material blocking conveyor line, and adds a second connecting line 600 at the discharge end of the second slitting line. The first connecting line 200 connects the first slitting line 100 and the material blocking conveyor line 300, and the second connecting line 600 connects the second slitting line 500 and the packaging equipment.

[0090] like Figures 13-14 As shown, the first connecting line includes a second conveying device 210, a connecting plate 221, a movable support 222, a fixed support 223, and a pin 226. The second conveying device 210 is connected to the first slitting line of the previous process. The connecting plate 221 is fixedly installed on both sides of the lower surface of the second conveying device. The top of the movable support is pivotally connected to the connecting plate. A plurality of first insertion holes 222A are provided on the lower part of the side of the movable support. The upper part of the fixed support is combined with the lower part of the movable support. The movable support can slide vertically along the fixed support. A plurality of second insertion holes 223A are also provided on the upper part of the fixed support corresponding to the insertion holes on the side of the movable support. The pin 226 is inserted into the corresponding first insertion holes and second insertion holes.

[0091] Pull out the pin and slide the movable support to adjust the height of the second conveyor. You can also rotate the second conveyor to adjust its tilt angle, thereby adjusting the height and angle of the first conveyor according to the height of the front and rear conveyor lines, and thus more flexibly connecting the front and rear conveyor lines.

[0092] like Figure 14 As shown, the top of the aforementioned movable support also has a limiting part 224, and the side of the connecting plate 221 has a limiting groove. The limiting part is accommodated in the limiting groove, and the limiting groove extends along the movement trajectory of the limiting part 224.

[0093] When the second conveying device is rotated, the limiting part moves within the limiting groove. When it reaches the end of the limiting groove, the limiting part forms a boundary or mechanical stop with that end to prevent the conveying device from continuing to move, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the rotation stroke of the conveying device.

[0094] like Figures 21-22 As shown, the second connecting line 600 includes a sixth conveying device 610, a lifting assembly 620, and an angle adjustment assembly 630. The sixth conveying device includes a first conveying device 611 and a second conveying device 612. The first conveying device is horizontally arranged, and one end of the second conveying device is pivotally connected to one end of the first conveying device. The lifting assembly includes a fixed column 622 and a movable column 621. The movable column is partially integrated into the fixed column and can slide vertically relative to the fixed column. The top of the movable column is connected to the bottom of the first conveying device. The angle adjustment assembly includes a fixed rod 631, a pivot part 633, a screw 632, and a connecting rod 634. The fixed rod is fixedly installed on the movable column. One end of the pivot part is sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod and can rotate circumferentially along the fixed rod. The screw is threadedly connected to the end of the pivot part away from the fixed rod. The connecting rod is fixedly installed below the second conveying device. The end of the screw away from the pivot part is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod, and the end of the screw connected to the connecting rod can rotate circumferentially along the connecting rod.

[0095] One end of the first conveyor is connected to the device with a greater height, while the other end of the second conveyor is connected to the device with a smaller height. Based on the height difference between the two devices, the angle of the second conveyor and the height of the first conveyor are adjusted. This is achieved by loosening the bolt inserted in the threaded hole and sliding the movable column to adjust the height of the conveyor. Rotating the screw allows it to move linearly, thereby driving the second conveyor to rotate along its pivot axis with the first conveyor. This allows for adjustment of the angle between the second conveyor and the first conveyor, thus accommodating the connection between devices with different height differences.

[0096] To reduce labor intensity and make height adjustment easier, a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or other power component capable of driving the movable column to slide vertically can be installed on the aforementioned fixed column. Alternatively, in addition to the aforementioned automatically operating power components, a transmission method using a handwheel and lead screw can also be used to achieve vertical sliding of the movable column. The handwheel is mounted on the movable column and has a threaded hole in its center; the lead screw matches the threaded hole and is fixedly mounted on the fixed column, with one end extending vertically through the threaded hole above the handwheel. By rotating the handwheel, it moves along the axis of the lead screw, thereby driving the movable column to move vertically.

[0097] In addition to adjusting the angle of the second conveying device through the above structure, the second conveying device can also be driven to rotate by devices such as pneumatic cylinders, electric cylinders, or hydraulic cylinders.

[0098] In this embodiment, when replacing part of the line body, if the height is different from the original line body, the first connecting line and the second connecting line in this embodiment can be used. Since the first connecting line and the second connecting line can adjust their own height and connection angle according to the actual height difference, flexible connection between line bodies or between line bodies and equipment can be achieved, reducing customization costs.

[0099] The foregoing description of embodiments of the present invention is presented for illustrative and descriptive purposes. This description is not exhaustive and does not limit the invention to the precise forms described; numerous modifications and variations are possible in light of the foregoing teachings. These embodiments were chosen and described to best illustrate the principles of the invention and its practical application, enabling those skilled in the art to best utilize the invention in various embodiments and with modifications suitable for the particular intended use. It will thus be understood that the invention is intended to cover all modifications and equivalents falling within the scope of the appended claims.
