[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, people's pursuit of life has changed from basic food and clothing to a better life. Along with the diversification of fruits, the same is true for the simple act of eating watermelon. However, when we eat watermelon, the presence of watermelon seeds often prevents us from fully enjoying the delicious taste. Especially in families with the elderly and children, when eating watermelon, watermelon seeds pose a risk of getting stuck in the throat for those with relatively limited mobility. Moreover, considering the economy, seedless watermelons are relatively expensive, and their attractiveness has not yet completely overcome that of seeded watermelons. Therefore, for us, removing the seeds from watermelons is a viable option to consider. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode

[0030] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and in combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present invention are further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0031] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, this fruit cutting device includes: a rotating device 1, the rotating device 1 is used to place fruits and drive the fruits to rotate; a tool feeding device 2, which is arranged on the rotating device 1; a detection device, which is fixedly connected to the tool feeding device 2, and the detection device is located above the rotating device 1; a hollow positioning tube 4, on which a connecting rod 400 is movably connected, and the connecting rod 400 is connected to the tool feeding device 2.

[0032] Place half of a watermelon on the rotating device 1. The hollow positioning tube 4 above the rotating device 1 is aligned with the center of the watermelon. The hollow positioning tube 4 is inserted downward into the watermelon by 1 - 2 cm to complete the fixation. Then, the detection device cooperates with the rotating device 1 to perform up and down detection on the watermelon. When watermelon seeds under the dark lines are detected, the tool feeding device 2 acts, and the blade 201 is pushed out to cut into the watermelon. After cutting to a certain position, the blade 201 resets. The rotating device 1 drives the watermelon to rotate, and the blade 201 is pushed out again to cut into the watermelon. After completion, it resets again. The melon rind with dark lines in the part with watermelon seeds and the part wrapped with watermelon seeds are cut off. The watermelon seeds can be quickly and effectively removed through the device.

[0033] As Figure 4As shown, preferably, a chassis 100; a rotating assembly 101, which is located above the chassis 100. The rotating assembly 101 has a gear rotating device 102, a support rod 103, and a rotating disk 104. The gear transmission device has a rotating shaft 105. The rotating shaft 105 passes through the chassis 100 and is connected to the rotating disk 104. An annular groove 106 is formed on the lower end surface of the rotating disk 104. There are several support rods 103. The several support rods 103 are arranged in a square formation. One end of the support rod 103 is arranged on the chassis 100, and the other end of the support rod 103 is arranged in the annular groove 106. A water receiving groove 107 is formed on the cover of the chassis 100.

[0034] The chassis 100 is circular. The chassis 100 can be divided into an upper chassis 100 and a lower chassis 100. The lower chassis 100 has a "concave" structure. The upper chassis 100 is detachably connected to the lower chassis 100. A motor positioning port is provided at the inner bottom of the lower chassis 100. The upper chassis 100 is connected to the tool feeding device 2. There are support rod fixing holes, a rotating shaft 105 through hole, and a water receiving groove 107 on the top of the upper chassis 100. The support rod fixing holes fix four support rods 103 to provide a horizontal plane for the rotating disk 104. The part of the support rod 103 in contact with the rotating groove is spherical. Under the condition of maintaining stability, the friction force between the two surfaces is reduced, and the mechanical efficiency is improved. The bottom plane is connected to the support rod fixing holes on the cover of the chassis 100, and the spherical top is connected to the rotating groove on the rotating disk 104 to provide a supporting effect during the cutting of melons and fruits. During the process of cutting watermelons and fruits, the juice is easy to flow everywhere. If the fruit juice is not treated, it will interfere with the device and pollute the environment. The water receiving groove 107 can temporarily store the fruit juice. The rotating shaft 105 through hole can prevent the rotating shaft 105 from generating horizontal displacement and play a positioning role.

[0035] Preferably, the gear transmission device further has a first-end motor 108 and a transmission gear 109. One end of the transmission gear 109 is meshed with the first-end motor 108, and the other end of the transmission gear 109 is connected to the rotating shaft 105.

[0036] The first-end motor 108 is arranged in the motor positioning port. The motor positioning port can effectively fix the first-end motor 108. When detecting the removal of watermelon seeds, the switch of the rotating device 1 is started. The transmission gear 109 meshed with the first-end motor 108 drives the rotating disk 104 connected to the rotating shaft 105 above to rotate. When it rotates to a certain position, the switch is turned off, and then the tool feeding device 2 operates.

[0037] As Figure 5As shown, preferably, the tool assembly 200 has a blade 201 and a tool holder 202. A clamping opening 203 is provided on one side of the tool holder 202, and the blade 201 is arranged in the clamping opening 203. The tool holder 202 also has a first port 204 and a second port 205; a carrier 206 has an upper frame 207 and a lower frame 208 which are connected to each other. A first coupling assembly 209 is provided in the upper frame, and a second coupling assembly 210 is provided in the lower frame 208. The first coupling assembly 209 and the second coupling assembly 210 are parallel to each other. The first coupling assembly 209 is connected to the first port 204, and the second coupling assembly 210 is connected to the second port 205.

[0038] The tool assembly 200 is arranged on the carrier 206, and the blade 201 moves forward through the first coupling assembly 209 and the second coupling assembly 210 for cutting.

[0039] Preferably, the first coupling assembly 209 has a first ball screw device 211, and the second coupling assembly 210 has a second ball screw device 212. The first ball screw device 211 is connected to the first port 204, and the second ball screw device 212 is connected to the second port 205.

[0040] Tool holder 202 connectors are provided on both the first ball screw device 211 and the second ball screw device 212. The relatively large-sized blade 201 is fixed through the tool holder 202 connectors to prevent it from falling off under force when cutting a watermelon.

[0041] Preferably, the first coupling assembly 209 and the second coupling assembly 210 have the same structure. The first coupling assembly 209 and the second coupling assembly 210 also each have a coupling 213 and a second-end motor 214. The second-end motor 214 is arranged at the rear end of the coupling 213. The first ball screw device 211 and the second ball screw device 212 are both arranged at the front end of the coupling 213. The second-end motor 214 is indirectly electrically connected to the ball screw. When the second-end motor 214 is started, the coupling 213 drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby enabling the tool assembly 200 to perform a feeding motion.

[0042] After the detection device finishes detection, the switch of the tool feeding device 2 is turned on. The second-end motor 214 rotates, and the coupling 213 drives the ball screw device to act. The blade 201 cuts straight into the watermelon at the front end for cutting. The blade 201 and the detection device are not on the same horizontal plane. After the blade 201 is pushed out, it will not collide with the detection device. And after the blade 201 is pushed out to a certain position, it will be limited by the upper frame 207 and the lower frame 208. After cutting is completed, the second-end motor 214 rotates in the reverse direction, and the blade 201 in the tool assembly 200 resets.

[0043] As Figure 6As shown, preferably, the front and rear displacement frame 300 is provided with a first sliding groove 301; the up and down displacement frame 302 has a sliding part 303, and the sliding part 303 is arranged in the first sliding groove 301. The sliding part 303 is movably connected to the sliding groove, and the up and down displacement frame 302 is provided with a second sliding groove 304; the gray scale sensor 305 is arranged in the second sliding groove 304.

[0044] The up and down displacement frame 302 and the gray scale sensor 305 need to be manually adjusted and detected. By detecting the dark lines, a sensing signal is sent out, and then cutting and seed removal are carried out.

[0045] Preferably, the sliding part 303 has a pin rod, and a baffle 306 is arranged at the notch of the first sliding groove 301 to prevent the sliding part 303 from disengaging from the first sliding groove 301 during the left and right movement of the sliding part 303.

[0046] While setting the baffle 306 to prevent the sliding part 303 from falling off, it also ensures the stability of the accurate sensing for the gray scale sensor 305 below.

[0047] Preferably, the gray scale sensor 305 has a sensing probe. A positioning hole 307 is opened on the gray scale sensor 305. A sliding groove 308 is opened on one side of the front and rear displacement frame 300. The positioning hole 307 and the sliding groove 308 are on the same side. The sliding groove 308 communicates with the second sliding groove 304. The detection device also has a knob 309, and the knob 309 is inserted through the sliding groove 308 and connected to the positioning hole 307.

[0048] Connected to the up and down displacement frame 302 through the positioning hole 307, the fixing and moving of the gray scale sensor 305 are realized. The gray scale sensor 305 collects the gray scale information on the surface of the fruit through the sensing probe, thereby judging the position of the fruit, and controlling the movement of the tool feeding device 2 through the collected digital signal.

[0049] As Figure 7 shown, preferably, the hollow positioning tube 4 is perpendicular to the rotating disk 104, and the lower port of the hollow positioning tube 4 is conical.

[0050] One end of the hollow positioning tube 4 close to the rotating disk 104 is a conical socket, and the other end has a hand guard at the top. When the hollow positioning tube 4 moves downward, the conical socket can provide the pressure between the hollow positioning tube 4 and the fruit surface, facilitating the insertion of the hollow positioning tube 4 into the fruit, and the protective sleeve can reduce the pressure when the operator uses it, playing a protective role for the operator.

[0051] It should be noted that all the directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0052] In addition, in the present invention, descriptions such as "first", "second", "one", etc. are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0053] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "connection" and "fixation" shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions results in contradictions or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
