[0031] With the development of society, people's diet and consumption awareness are also constantly improving. Fruit machinery has gradually replaced people's traditional processing methods, such as automatic cutting machines, automatic harvesters, automatic peeling machines, etc. Moreover, modern people have higher requirements for the quality of life, pursuing efficiency and hygiene. The traditional processing methods are simple and crude, with high labor intensity, low automation level, high accident rate, low efficiency, and even waste, unable to meet the processing requirements of fruit products. Therefore, various automation devices are urgently needed, ranging from household use to enterprise processing, to achieve the effects of saving money, worry, and effort.

[0032] In view of this, the present invention provides a cutting device. Figures 1 to 4 This is an embodiment of the cutting device provided by the present invention. The cutting device will be described below with reference to specific drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the cutting device 100 includes a turntable 1, a driving mechanism 2, and a cutting mechanism 3. An accommodation cavity 11 is opened at the upper end of the turntable 1, and a plurality of through holes 12 communicating the accommodation cavity 11 with the outside are provided through the circumferential side of the turntable 1; the driving end of the driving mechanism 2 is drivingly connected to the lower end of the turntable 1 to drive the turntable 1 to rotate; the cutting mechanism 3 includes cutting blades 31 corresponding to the through holes 12 to cut the material that moves centrifugally through the through holes 12 and impacts on the cutting blades 31.

[0034] In the technical solution of the present invention, the driving mechanism 2 drives the turntable 1 to drive the turntable 1 to rotate, so that the spherical fruits placed in the accommodating cavity 11 are given a large centrifugal force by the turntable 1 until the fruits pass through the through hole 12 and impact the cutting blade 31. Due to the action of the centrifugal force, the spherical fruits can be better broken open, and then collected by an additionally provided collecting device below to complete the cutting and processing of the spherical fruits. With such a setting, the overall processing process is automatic, with a high degree of automation, reducing the labor intensity, and there is no need for manual cutting operation, resulting in a low accident rate, high efficiency and high hygiene level, meeting the current processing requirements of fruit products.

[0035] Specifically, the cutting mechanism 3 further includes an output pipe 32 fixed at the through hole 12, and the cutting blade 31 is arranged along the radial direction of the output pipe 32. The cutting blade 31 can be directly installed on the turntable 1, that is, installed at the through hole 12, to realize the cutting of spherical fruits. However, in this case, there is a situation where the spherical fruits rotate and tilt with the turntable 1 and impact the cutting blade 31, resulting in abnormal cutting or even damage to the cutting blade 31. To avoid the above problems, the cutting blade 31 can also be fixed at a position corresponding to the through hole 12 outside the turntable 1, but there is a certain interval between the cutting blade 31 and the through hole 12. In this way, it is avoided that the spherical fruits rotating with the turntable 1 tilt and impact the cutting blade 31, but there may be a situation where the spherical fruits cannot accurately impact the cutting blade 31, which also affects the cutting effect of the cutting device 100. For the above reasons, in this embodiment, an output pipe 32 is installed at the through hole 12, and the cutting blade 31 is installed on the output pipe 32 to be away from the through hole 12, avoiding the situation that the cutting blade 31 is damaged by side impact. The output pipe 32 plays a guiding role in the movement of the spherical fruits and also avoids the situation that the spherical fruits cannot accurately impact the cutting blade 31. With such a setting, the service life of the cutting blade 31 is prolonged, and the cutting quality of the cutting device 100 for spherical fruits is improved.

[0036] In addition, both ends of the slitting blade 31 penetrate through the output pipe 32, and two mounting seats 321 are correspondingly arranged on the outer sides of the two side walls of the output pipe 32. Both ends of the slitting blade 31 are respectively inserted into one of the mounting seats 321, and a fixing structure is arranged between the slitting blade 31 and at least one of the mounting seats 321. The slitting blade 31 can be directly inserted into the output pipe 32. However, if it is arranged in this way, on the one hand, it is not convenient to disassemble, replace and install the slitting blade 31, and on the other hand, the length of the part of the slitting blade 31 inserted into the output pipe 32 is short, the load-bearing performance is poor, and the problem that the slitting blade 31 may come out of the output pipe 32 after being impacted by spherical fruits for many times may occur. To avoid the above problems, in this embodiment, two mounting seats 321 are arranged on the output pipe 32, so that the slitting blade 31 penetrates through the output pipe 32 and is inserted into the mounting seats 321, and at least one of the mounting seats 321 is provided with an insertion hole extending radially along the output pipe 32 for the slitting blade 31 to be inserted into the output pipe 32 from the outside of the output pipe 32. At the same time, the slitting blade 31 is fixed through the fixing structure, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation operation of the slitting blade 31.

[0037] Specifically, the fixing structure includes a through hole provided on the slitting blade 31 and a screw 322 screwed to the mounting seat 321 and passing through the through hole. The fixing structure can be a clamping mechanism that clamps the slitting blade 31 by driving the deformation of the mounting seat 321, or a limiting structure that restricts the slitting blade 31 from coming out of the mounting seat 321. There is no limitation here, as long as the positioning and fixing of the slitting blade 31 can be realized. In this embodiment, a through hole is opened on the slitting blade 31, and a threaded hole is correspondingly provided on the mounting seat 321. The screw 322 screwed to the threaded hole extends into the through hole on the slitting blade 31 to realize the positioning and fixing of the slitting blade 31. The structure is simple and convenient to operate, making the installation and disassembly convenient.

[0038] In addition, the via hole 12 is located at the junction of the cavity wall and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the output pipe 32 fixed at the via hole 12 has a proximal end close to the turntable 1 and a distal end far from the turntable 1. The output pipe 32 is arranged to slope downward from its proximal end to its distal end. The via hole 12 is arranged at the junction of the cavity wall and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 11 to facilitate the spherical fruits to enter the output pipe 32 through the via hole 12. At the same time, the output pipe 32 is arranged to slope, on the one hand, to conform to the radian of the via hole 12, avoiding turning at the connection between the output pipe 32 and the turntable 1, and thus avoiding jamming when the spherical fruits pass through. On the other hand, the sloping output pipe 32 can prevent the spherical fruits from staying in the output pipe 32, avoiding blocking the output pipe 32 and affecting the slicing effect.

[0039] In addition, guide plates 13 are arranged on both sides of the via hole 12, and the distance between the two guide plates 13 increases gradually from the via hole 12 towards the center of the turntable 1. The guide plates 13 are arranged on both sides of the via hole 12 to form a funnel structure facing the via hole 12, so as to guide the spherical fruits to the via hole 12, avoiding the situation that the spherical fruits cannot align with the position of the via hole 12 during movement in the accommodating cavity 11, and thus avoiding affecting the discharging of the spherical fruits and improving the slicing efficiency. Further, the ends of the two guide plates 13 between the two via holes 12 close to the center of the turntable 1 are connected to each other and arranged with a certain radian, avoiding jamming when the spherical fruits move between the two guide plates 13, and further improving the slicing efficiency.

[0040] In addition, the slitting device 100 further includes a support structure 4. The support structure 4 includes a housing 41 and a bracket 42. The housing 41 includes a main body 411 and a cover 412 detachably mounted on the main body 411. The turntable 1 is installed inside the housing 41, and a plurality of support frames 413 are annularly provided on the inner wall of the main body 411. A ball structure 414 is provided at the end of the support frame 413, and the ball structure 414 abuts against and supports the turntable 1. The bracket 42 supports and fixes the housing 41, and the driving mechanism 2 is installed on the bracket 42. On the one hand, the housing 41 is used to cover the moving parts of the slitting device 100 to avoid operation accidents during use, that is, to cover the turntable 1. On the other hand, the housing 41 is used to receive the fruits after slitting to avoid splashing and affecting the production environment and waste. The turntable 1 is mounted in the housing 41 through the support frames 413, so that there is a gap between the turntable 1 and the bottom of the main body 411 to prevent the turntable 1 from contacting the slit fruits. In addition, the ball structure 414 is provided at the end of the support frame 413 to ensure that the turntable 1 can be rotatably arranged, with a simple structure and low cost. The bracket 42 is used to support and raise the housing 41. On the one hand, it raises the height of the turntable 1 to facilitate feeding operation. On the other hand, it makes a gap between the housing 41 and the support surface to facilitate the installation of the driving mechanism 2. And the driving mechanism 2 is arranged below the turntable 1 to reduce the center of gravity of the slitting device 100 and improve the running stability of the slitting device 100.

[0041] Further, the lower end of the main body 411 is tapered downward to form a discharge funnel 411a. To facilitate the collection of the slit fruits, the lower end of the main body 411 is provided as the discharge funnel 411a to gather the slit fruits. In addition, the discharge funnel 411a is inclined so that the discharge port at its lower end extends towards the outside of the main body 411. Extending the discharge port laterally, on the one hand, does not affect the function of the discharge funnel 411a in gathering the slit fruits. On the other hand, it avoids the limitation of the structure of the slitting device 100 itself on the installation of the collection device, so as to facilitate the placement and replacement of the collection device and simplify the collection operation.

[0042] In addition, the driving mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 passing through the housing 41 and connected to the turntable 1, and a driving assembly 22 drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 21. The driving assembly 22 is installed on the bracket 42, and a sleeve 415 sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 is provided inside the housing 41. There must be a certain gap at the position where the rotating shaft 21 passes through the housing 41, and when cutting fruits, juice will inevitably overflow. When the splashing juice hits the rotating shaft 21, it will flow along the rotating shaft 21 to other components, affecting the normal operation of the entire device. The sleeve 415 is provided to, on the one hand, prevent the juice from splashing onto the rotating shaft 21, and on the other hand, raise the height of the above-mentioned gap to prevent the juice from flowing out from the gap, thereby playing a certain protective role and avoiding affecting the normal operation of the entire device.

[0043] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
