[0030] When the workers in the food factory need to cut potatoes into pieces, this cutting device can be used. First, the potatoes to be cut are put into the loading box 5, and then the cylinder 84 is opened. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 84 drives the lower pressing plate 7 to reciprocate up and down, thereby driving the first sliding plate 83 to slide up and down along the first fixed block 82, and the first spring 85 is adaptively compressed and reset. The first sliding plate 83 drives the trigger rod 116 to reciprocate up and down. When the lower pressing plate 7 moves downward, the trigger rod 116 moves downward, and the trigger rod 116 drives the bevel gear set 114 to rotate through the first gear rack assembly 113. The bevel gear set 114 drives the second sliding plate 94 to slide inward through the second gear rack assembly 115. The second spring 95 is stretched, and the two second sliding plates 94 are closed to block the discharge port at the bottom of the loading box 5. At this time, the lower pressing plate 7 presses the potatoes downward, so that the potatoes are cut into pieces by the cutting plate 6. When the lower pressing plate 7 moves upward, the trigger rod 116 moves upward, causing the second sliding plate 94 to slide outward, and the second spring 95 is reset. The discharge port at the bottom of the feed box 5 is opened, and the potato pieces fall into the feed box 101. The bevel gear set 114 rotates through the third fixed slide bar 121 and the fifth connecting rod 122 to drive the trigger block 123 to rotate. When the trigger block 123 contacts the feed box 101, the feed box 101 slides upward, and the third spring 104 is compressed. When the trigger block 123 is no longer in contact with the feed box 101, the third spring 104 resets and drives the feed box 101 to slide downward. The feed box 101 slides up and down so that the feed box 101 is filled with The potato pieces are shaken to prevent the potato pieces from sticking to each other. After the potato pieces are cut into pieces, the cylinder 84 is closed, and the worker opens the discharge plate 135 upwards. The discharge plate 135 drives the rotating plate 133 to swing upward, and the torsion spring 134 is twisted and deformed, and the potato pieces in the feed box 101 can be taken out. After taking them out, the discharge plate 135 is released, and the torsion spring 134 is reset to drive the rotating plate 133 to swing downward, thereby driving the discharge plate 135 to move downward. If the potato pieces need to be cut into pieces next time, the above steps can be repeated.
