DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear and distinct, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic walking vegetable cutting robot, for the convenience of description, in this embodiment, the direction of vegetables entering and exiting when cutting vegetables is the front-to-back direction, the direction perpendicular to the front-to-back direction is the left-to-right direction, and the left-to-right direction is also the extension direction of the cutter 400. The vertical direction of the vegetable cutting robot when working is the up-down direction. The automatic walking vegetable cutting robot includes a shell 100, and the shell 100 is a door-shaped structure with openings on the front and rear sides and an opening on the bottom, that is, the shell 100 includes a vertically arranged left support plate 110, a right support plate 120, and an upper support plate 130 located above the left support plate 110 and the right support plate 120, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the machine also includes a cutting mechanism 200 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper support plate 130 of the housing 100. This mechanism 200 utilizes a stepper motor. A cutting drive mechanism 300 is connected to the cutting mechanism 200. A cutter 400 is fixedly connected to the cutting drive mechanism 300. The cutting mechanism 200 drives the cutting drive mechanism 300, which in turn drives the cutter 400 in up and down motion. Vegetables to be cut are placed below the upper support plate 130 of the housing 100 and between the left and right support plates 110 and 120. When the cutting mechanism 200 is activated, the stepper motor rotates, driving the cutting drive mechanism 300. This translates the stepper motor's rotation into up and down reciprocating motion of the cutter 400. As the cutter 400 moves downward, it automatically cuts the vegetables below. This allows vegetables to enter the front of the housing 100 and exit the rear, achieving automatic cutting. This improves cutting efficiency and saves time and effort.

[0026] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also includes a walking power mechanism 500 disposed on the housing 100 and driving the housing 100 to move in a directional manner. When the vegetables to be cut are placed under the cutter 400, the cutter 400 moves to cut the vegetables, and the walking power mechanism 500 is activated, driving the housing 100 to move in a directional manner. The housing 100 moves along the cutting path of the vegetables while cutting, and there is no need for manual pushing of the vegetables or the housing 100. This further reduces the operator's manual work and realizes automated and intelligent vegetable cutting. The walking power mechanism 500 includes a walking power source 510 fixedly disposed on the housing 100. The walking power source 510 is a DC reduction motor. The DC reduction motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper support plate 130 of the housing by screws and is arranged side by side with the vegetable cutting power mechanism 200 in the front-to-back direction. A walking wheel assembly 520 is rotatably disposed at the lower part of the housing 100, and the walking wheel assembly 520 is driven to rotate by the walking power source 510. The walking power source 510 is turned on and rotated, driving the walking wheel assembly 520 to rotate. The walking wheel assembly 520 is used to contact the desktop and walk on the desktop, realizing automatic and intelligent vegetable cutting.

[0027] In this embodiment, two sets of the running wheel assembly 520 are provided, and the two sets of the running wheel assembly 520 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the housing 100. That is, the two sets of running wheel assembly 520 are respectively installed at the lower part of the left support plate 110 and the right support plate 120 of the housing 100, thereby achieving stable support for the housing 100. When placed on a desktop, both the left and right sides of the housing 100 can be placed on the desktop. Figure 4 As shown, the travel wheel assembly 520 includes a plurality of travel wheels 521 rotatably mounted on the housing 100. In this embodiment, two travel wheels 521 are provided, namely a first travel wheel 522 and a second travel wheel 523. The first travel wheel 522 and the second travel wheel 523 are arranged side by side along the directional movement direction of the housing 100, and a transmission belt 524 connecting the first and second travel wheels 522, 523 and the travel power source 510. The transmission belt 524 can be a synchronous belt. When the travel power source 510 is energized, it rotates, driving the first and second travel wheels 522, 523 to rotate via the transmission belt 524, thereby realizing the automatic walking function of the automatic walking vegetable cutting robot.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the structure of a single walking wheel 521 includes a driving pulley 525 and a rotating wheel 526 integrally formed concentrically with the driving pulley 525. The rotating wheel 526 is used to rotate on the desktop, and the driving pulley 525 is used to connect to the transmission belt 524 to realize transmission.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the travel wheel assembly 520 further includes a tensioning wheel 528, which is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The transmission belt 524 is sleeved on the tensioning wheel 528. The tensioning wheel 528 is located between the travel power source 510 and the first travel wheel 522. Adjustment of the tensioning wheel 528 prevents the transmission belt 524 from loosening. The tensioning wheel 528 is located on the side of the left support plate 110 facing the right support plate 120. This positions the transmission components inside the housing 100, improving the structure and preventing exposure of the transmission components that could pose a safety hazard.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, in order to achieve multi-scenario application, the present embodiment also includes a conveying mechanism 600, which is detachably arranged below the shell 100. For easy operation, the shell 100 can be placed directly above the conveying mechanism 600, and the vegetables can be placed directly on the conveying mechanism 600. Through the movement of the conveying mechanism 600, the vegetables are conveyed to the bottom of the cutter 400, and the up and down movement of the cutter 400 realizes the cutting of the vegetables. The conveying mechanism 600 can be self-powered or combined with the walking power mechanism 500. The power of the walking power mechanism 500 drives the conveying mechanism 600 to realize the transportation of vegetables. The specific process is that the conveying mechanism 600 includes a conveying bracket 610 and a conveyor belt 620 rotatably arranged on the conveying bracket 610. The walking wheel 521 is connected to the conveyor belt 620 and drives the conveyor belt 620 to transport the vegetables to be cut. The conveyor belt 620 is provided with a first set of teeth 621 at its periphery, and several of the travel wheels 521 are respectively provided with a second set of teeth 527 that match the first set of teeth 621. The second set of teeth 527 is provided at the edge of the rotating wheel 526 and surrounds the edge of the rotating wheel 526. The left support plate 110 and the right support plate 120 of the housing 100 respectively abut against the upper surface of the conveying bracket 610. The second set of teeth 527 of several of the travel wheels 521 are respectively engaged with the first set of teeth 621 on the conveyor belt 620. When the travel power mechanism 500 is in motion, the travel wheels 521 rotate, and the engagement of the first set of teeth 621 and the second set of teeth 527 drives the conveyor belt 620 to rotate. In this way, the power of the travel power mechanism 500 drives the conveying mechanism 600 to operate. Vegetables are placed on the conveyor belt 620 of the conveying mechanism 600. The power of the travel power mechanism 500 drives the conveyor belt 620 to rotate, transporting the vegetables toward the housing 100. The up and down movement of the cutter 400 cuts the vegetables, achieving automatic vegetable cutting. This also eliminates the need for manual pushing of the vegetables or the housing 100, improving cutting efficiency. It is easy to imagine that the travel wheels 521 can be directly pressed against the conveyor belt 620, and the friction between the travel wheels 521 and the conveyor belt 620 drives the conveyor belt 620 to transport the vegetables to be cut.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the vegetable cutting drive mechanism 300 includes a gear set 310 fixedly connected to the vegetable cutting power mechanism 200. The gear set 310 transmits power to a screw rod 320 fixedly connected to the gear set 310 and rotatably arranged in the vertical direction. The screw rod 320 has bearings 330 fixedly connected to its upper and lower ends. The bearings 330 are fixed to the housing 100, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the screw rod 320 and the housing 100. A first connecting block 340 is sleeved on the screw rod 320 and is threadedly connected to the screw rod 320. Rotation of the screw rod 320 drives the first connecting block 340 to move up and down. The first connecting block 340 is fixedly connected to the cutter 400 via screws. The cutter 400 extends in the left and right directions. The vertical movement of the first connecting block 340 drives the cutter 400 to move up and down, thereby achieving the vegetable cutting function.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the gear set 310 includes a driving bevel gear 311 connected to the vegetable cutting power mechanism 200, and a driven bevel gear 312 meshing with the driving bevel gear 311. The driving bevel gear 311 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor, and the driven bevel gear 312 is fixedly connected to the screw rod 320. The gear set 310 uses a bevel gear set 310 to convert the horizontal rotation of the vegetable cutting power mechanism 200 into the vertical rotation of the screw rod 320. The driven bevel gear 312 is located above the driving bevel gear 311, and the first connecting block 340 is located below the driving bevel gear 311. This separates the driven bevel gear 312 and the first connecting block 340, preventing the first connecting block 340 from contacting the driven bevel gear 312 during the upward movement, effectively protecting the gear set 310.

[0033] A first guide post 350 and a second guide post 360 are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the housing 100, respectively. The first guide post 350 is mounted on the first connecting block 340, and the second guide post 360 is mounted on the second connecting block 370. The first connecting block 340 and the second connecting block 370 are respectively mounted on opposite ends of the cutter 400. The second connecting block 370 is slidably mounted on the second guide post 360. One end of the cutter 400 is fixed to the first connecting block 340 via screws, and the other end of the cutter 400 is also fixed to the second connecting block 370 via screws. The first guide post 350 and the second guide post 360 ensure that the cutter 400 moves in a directional manner in the vertical direction, thus ensuring more stable vertical movement of the cutter 400.

[0034] It also includes a lithium battery module 700 and a control module 710. The lithium battery module 700 is fixed in the shell 100. For example, an inner cavity is set on the right cardboard, and the lithium battery module 700 is set in the inner cavity. The control module 710 is fixed on the lower surface of the upper support plate 130 of the shell 100. The lithium battery module 700 directly provides electrical energy to various electrical appliances. The control module 710 is used to set the motion mode, such as the speed of the cutting power mechanism 200, the adjustment of forward and reverse rotation, the speed of the walking power mechanism 500, etc. A camera and a vegetable recognition module can also be set in the control module. According to the type of vegetable, the thickness or thinness of the slice can be judged to achieve intelligent vegetable cutting. It is easy to imagine that the operator can set the thickness parameters of the slice, so that the control module sets the up and down speed of the cutter 400 and the moving speed of the walking power mechanism 500 according to the setting.

[0035] This solution has two operating modes. The first is that when cutting vegetables, the cutting mechanism 200 starts and rotates forward, driving the gear set 310 to rotate, thereby driving the screw rod 320 to rotate. The screw rod 320 drives the first connecting block 340 downward, causing the cutter 400 to move downward. When the cutter 400 moves downward to the limit, the cutting mechanism 200 reverses, causing the cutter 400 to rise upward. The up and down reciprocating motion of the cutter 400 cuts the vegetables. While the cutter 400 is cutting, the travel mechanism 500 also operates simultaneously. The travel power source 510 is turned on and rotated, driving the travel wheel assembly 520 to rotate. The travel wheel assembly 520 is used to contact the table surface and move on the table surface. When vegetables are placed directly on the table surface, the machine can cut vegetables while walking.

[0036] The second type is used in conjunction with the conveying mechanism 600. While the cutter 400 is cutting vegetables, the walking power mechanism 500 also works at the same time. The walking power source 510 is turned on and rotated, driving the walking wheel assembly 520 to rotate, and the walking wheel assembly 520 drives the conveyor belt 620 to rotate. When the vegetables are directly placed on the conveyor belt 620, the vegetables can be cut while being transported.

[0037] In summary, the present invention provides an automatic walking vegetable cutting robot, in which the vegetable cutting power mechanism 200 provides power and controls the movement state of the cutter 400, and the vegetable cutting power mechanism connects and drives the cutter 400 to move up and down to cut off the vegetables below the cutter 400, thereby realizing the function of automatic vegetable cutting, and the walking power source 510 of the walking power mechanism 500 can be turned on and rotated to drive the walking wheel assembly 520 to rotate, and the walking wheel assembly 520 is used to contact the table and walk on the table. When the vegetables are placed directly on the table, it is possible to cut the vegetables while walking. In combination with the conveying mechanism 600, when the vegetables are placed directly on the conveyor belt 620, it is possible to cut the vegetables while conveying. Efficient vegetable cutting is achieved. Save time and effort.

[0038] It should be understood that the application of the present invention is not limited to the above examples. For those skilled in the art, improvements or changes can be made based on the above description. All these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
