Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of strip cutting machines, and in particular to a sprout strip cutting machine with adjustable posture which can improve the strip cutting quality. Background Art

[0002] The adjustable sprout cutting machine is a kind of agricultural machinery equipment that can significantly improve the efficiency of sprout cutting. The existing cutting machine can only complete the cutting of hard vegetables such as radish, and the cutting effect of this machine on hard vegetables is relatively good. However, the cutting effect of this cutting machine on soft and crisp vegetables such as sprouts is not ideal, and the following defects often occur:

[0003] 1. Due to the lack of orderly management of the arrival of sprouts, the sprouts are not uniform in shape. When cutting, the sprouts cannot be cut along the length direction, which results in the sprouts not reaching the maximum length, which does not meet the industry's requirements. The industry requires that they must be cut along the length direction, the longer the better, so that the dehydration speed in the later stage is uniform and the flavor is consistent;

[0004] 2. Due to the lack of orderly management of the delivery of sprouts, the sprouts overlap and the cutting compliance is poor, which affects the cutting quality;

[0005] 3. Because the sprout strips are not managed during the cutting process, the sprout strips are freely entangled with the cutter, affecting the cutting quality;

[0006] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary to improve the existing technology and propose a new strip cutting device suitable for soft and crisp vegetables such as sprouts, so as to improve the strip cutting quality of soft and crisp vegetables such as sprouts. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a strip cutting machine suitable for cutting sprouts, which can manage the entire process of entering, transporting and cutting the sprout strips, thereby significantly improving the strip cutting quality of soft and crisp vegetables such as sprouts to solve the above technical problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0039] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the adjustable sprout cutting machine of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, and a cutting mechanism 3. The frame is used to fix and support the conveying mechanism and the cutting mechanism. The specific structure is shown in the figure and will not be repeated here.

[0041] The conveying mechanism of this embodiment includes a main conveyor belt 4 fixed on the frame and located below the feeding chute for receiving the sprouts and a conveying drive mechanism for moving and driving the main conveyor belt. The surface of the main conveyor belt is provided with a V-shaped groove for the blade to cut into. After the blade cuts into the V-shaped groove, the sprouts are cut through, thereby preventing the situation of not being cut off.

[0042] The cutting mechanism of this embodiment includes a cutting knife 5 fixed on the frame and rotatably arranged above the main conveyor belt. The cutting knife is a rotary disc knife, and the blade 6 at least partially cuts into the V-shaped groove, thereby ensuring that the sprouts are cut through.

[0043] In particular, this embodiment further includes a food screening mechanism 7 and a food pinching prevention mechanism 8;

[0044] The vegetable screening mechanism of this embodiment includes a vegetable screening box 9 for receiving and adjusting the posture of sprouts and a plurality of rotating feeder shafts 10 arranged in the vegetable screening box in the same direction as the conveying mechanism. The plurality of rotating feeder shafts are arranged side by side and equidistantly, and one end of each of the rotating feeder shafts extends out of the box and is connected to the vegetable screening driving mechanism. The interval between two rotating feeder shafts is a feeder trough 11. Under the drive of the vegetable screening driving mechanism, all the rotating feeder shafts rotate to adjust the posture of the sprouts so that the longitudinal direction of the sprouts is consistent with the length direction of the feeder trough and enters the conveying mechanism.

[0045] The anti-clipped vegetable mechanism of this embodiment comprises a blocking plate 12 arranged between the disc knife and the main conveyor belt, the blocking plate is provided with an avoidance groove 13 for the blade to cut into, and a blocking bar 14 for preventing the sprout strips from rolling up is arranged between the avoidance grooves.

[0046] Furthermore, the food screening drive mechanism includes a food screening drive motor 15 and a gear set 16 arranged side by side and meshing with each other in pairs. The gear set includes driving gears with the same number of teeth and module arranged at any driving end of the rotating discharge shaft. The food screening drive motor is fixed on the frame and drives any driving gear through the first transmission belt 17 to drive the gear set.

[0047] Furthermore, it also includes a conveying and blocking mechanism, which is horizontally arranged above the main conveyor belt and includes a blocking wheel 18 for blocking excessive sprouts and a blocking drive motor 19 for rotating the blocking wheel.

[0048] Furthermore, a spiral guide groove 20 is provided on the outer surface of the interceptor wheel.

[0049] The blocking drive motor of this embodiment is fixed on the frame, and a driving wheel 21 is fixed on its main shaft. The driving wheel drives the blocking wheel to rotate through a second transmission belt 22. When an appropriate height is set, it can block excessive passing sprouts, prevent blockage and disordered posture, and damage the quality of cutting. The sprouts can be introduced in a more orderly manner through the guide groove to improve the passability. At the same time, it also has a certain pressing force, thereby further maintaining the longitudinal placement of the sprouts, which is conducive to cutting in the length direction.

[0050] The conveying drive mechanism of this embodiment includes a conveying motor 23, a transmission chain 24, a conveying shaft 25 and a slitting shaft 26. The conveying motor is fixed on the frame, and the transmission chain is respectively driven to rotate with the conveying shaft and the slitting shaft. The conveying shaft drives the main conveyor belt, and the slitting shaft drives the disc cutter shaft. In this way, the conveying drive mechanism drives the cutting mechanism while driving the conveyor belt. One set of mechanisms has two actions, which reduces parts, reduces weight and production costs, and maintains a consistent linear speed, so that the surface of the sprouts is only subjected to normal force, avoiding the effect of tangential force. This design effectively reduces the damage rate of the sprouts and ensures the improvement of the slitting quality.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the rotating material feeding shaft is provided with a spiral introduction groove 27. The sprouts can be quickly introduced through the introduction groove to improve the passability, and by setting a suitable material feeding groove width, it is adapted to different types of vegetables.

[0052] In this embodiment, a plurality of partitions are arranged in the vegetable screening box, and the partitions match the width of the material discharge chute, so as to further stabilize the posture of the sprouts and allow them to enter the conveyor belt.

[0053] The dimension parameters of the V-shaped groove in this embodiment are not limited, but through theoretical calculations and repeated experiments by the inventor, a better choice is that the V-shaped groove is 2-5 mm wide and 2-5 mm deep, which can meet the needs of cutting more than 95% of vegetables.

[0054] In this embodiment, vertical long grooves 28 are symmetrically arranged on the frame, and a long shaft 30 is fixed on the side of the blocking plate. Both ends of the long shaft pass through the long grooves, so that the two ends are adjustable, thereby adjusting the height between the blocking plate and the sprouts to adapt to the use of different vegetables. When the two ends are fixed by bolts 29, a moderate clamping force can be maintained on the passing vegetables, which can further protect the cutting quality.

[0055] When cutting sprouts into strips, workers will cut the roots and leaves and place them in the screening mechanism box. The sprouts will fall into the main conveyor belt under the action of the rotating discharge shaft and the direction of the sprouts will be perpendicular to the cutting knife. The rubber blocking wheel can adjust the stacking height of the sprouts passing the cutting knife once. The main conveyor belt transports the sprouts to the cutting knife. The sprouts are cut into strips under the joint action of the cutting knife and the main conveyor belt, completing the strip cutting task.

[0056] Finally, it is noted that the above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although detailed description has been given with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, and all such modifications shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
