[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, each embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that in each embodiment of the present application, many technical details are proposed to enable the reader to better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present application can be implemented. The division of the following embodiments is for convenience of description and should not constitute any limitation on the specific implementation of the present application. The various embodiments can be combined with each other and referenced to each other under the premise of no contradiction.

[0029] The following is a detailed description of a dicing machine provided by this embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 As shown, the main body 1 includes side panels 11 and a connecting panel 12. The side panels 11 are provided in two pieces and are arranged at an interval. The connecting panel 12 is provided in two pieces and is located between the two side panels 11. The two connecting panels 12 are arranged along the length direction of the side panels 11, and the ends of the connecting panels 12 are connected to the opposite sides of the two side panels 11. In this embodiment, the length direction a of the main body 1 is the length direction of the side panels 11, and the width direction b of the main body 1 is the direction in which the two side panels 11 are arranged at an interval.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a supporting plate 2 is fixedly connected between the two side panels 11. The supporting plate 2 is extended along the length direction of the side panels 11 and is bent. The supporting plate 2 includes a first supporting portion 21, a second supporting portion 23 and an inclined portion 22. The ends of the first supporting portion 21 and the second supporting portion 23 are transitionally connected through the inclined portion 22. The upper surface of the first supporting portion 21 is higher than the upper surface of the second supporting portion 23. The first supporting portion 21 is mainly used to support and lift the material to be cut, and the second supporting portion 23 is mainly used to support and lift the material to be cut after it is cut into sheets.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a cross-cutting knife 3 is fixedly connected between the two side panels 11. The cross-cutting knife 3 is located directly above the second support portion 23, and the cutting end of the cross-cutting knife 3 extends to the position where the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 23 are connected to each other. The cross-cutting knife 3 and the first support portion 21 are staggered up and down to form a first gap 4, and the blade of the cross-cutting knife 3 corresponds to the position where the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 23 are connected to each other to form the entrance of the first gap 4. The first gap 4 is used to allow the material to be cut into sheets to enter the upper surface of the second support portion 23. The blade of the cross-cutting knife 3 is recessed inward in a V-shape. The blade of the cross-cutting knife 3 is configured to be detachably connected to a cross-cutting blade 31. The cross-cutting blade 31 is mainly used to horizontally slice the material to be cut.

[0032] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a hopper 5 is provided between the two side panels 11. The hopper 5 is used to store materials to be cut. The hopper 5 is vertically arranged with open ends at the top and bottom. The bottom surface of the hopper 5 is higher than the upper surface of the crosscutting blade 3. The hopper 5 can be translated to the upper surface of the crosscutting blade 3 when it is translated along the length of the side panels 11. When the materials to be cut are placed in the hopper 5, they fall downward due to gravity until they abut against the upper surface of the first support portion 21. The first support portion 21 supports the materials to be cut, and the portion of the materials to be cut exposed between the first support portion 21 and the lower portion of the hopper 5 is available for cutting by the crosscutting blade 3. When the hopper 5 translates forward past the crosscutting blade 3, the materials are cut into sheets. The sheet materials are pushed from the first gap 4 into the second support portion 23 and laid flat.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 4As shown, bases 6 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two side panels 11. The bases 6 are configured to translate along the length direction of the side panels 11. Windows 111 are respectively provided on the two side panels 11. A crossbeam 61 is provided between the two bases 6. The ends of the crossbeam 61 are passed through the windows 111 and connected to the bases 6, so that the two bases 6 can translate synchronously.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, the two bases 6 are also provided with guide shafts 62. There are two guide shafts 62 and they are located on opposite sides of the silo 5. The guide shafts 62 are arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the side panels 11. Sleeves 51 are also fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the silo 5. The sleeves 51 and the guide shafts 62 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The guide shafts 62 are inserted into the sleeves 51 and extend to the outside of the side panels 11 and are connected to the bases 6. The two side panels 11 are respectively provided with long guide holes 112 on both sides. The long guide holes 112 extend along the length of the side panels 11. The ends of the guide shafts 62 extend from the guide holes 112 to the outside of the side panels 11. The guide shafts 62 move along the length of the guide holes 112. Therefore, the ends of the two guide shafts 62 extend into the guide holes 112 to support the silo 5. At the same time, the silo 5, the guide shafts 62 and the base 6 move synchronously.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a rotating rod 63 is provided on each side of the two bases 6 facing away from each other. One end of the rotating rod 63 is hinged to the base 6, and the other end is free. A connecting rod 631 is connected between the free ends of the two rotating rods 63. The connecting rod 631 enables the two rotating rods 63 to be pressed down synchronously, thereby allowing the two rotating rods 63 to rotate and descend simultaneously by controlling the downward pressure of the connecting rod 631. A movable rod 64 is hinged between the rotating rod 63 and the side panel 11. One end of the movable rod 64 is hinged to the middle of the rotating rod 63, and the other end is hinged to the end of the side panel 11. When the rotating rod 63 is pressed down, the angle between the movable rod 64 and the rotating rod 63 increases, and the silo 5 is translated toward the left, i.e., the front. When the rotating rod 63 is lifted, the angle between the movable rod 64 and the rotating rod 63 decreases, and the silo 5 is translated toward the right, i.e., the rear.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4As shown, a plurality of rows of knives 71 are provided on the cross-cutter 3, and the plurality of rows of knives 71 are provided above the cross-cutter 3. The cross-cutter 3 has a plurality of first avoidance long holes 32 along its length direction, and the plurality of first avoidance long holes 32 are arranged at equal intervals along the width direction of the cross-cutter 3. The first avoidance long holes 32 pass through the upper and lower surfaces of the cross-cutter 3. The blades of the row of knives 71 pass through the first avoidance long holes 32 from top to bottom to be located between the cross-cutter 3 and the support plate 2. The row of knives 71 is arranged to translate along the length direction of the cross-cutter 3, thereby cutting the sheet material located on the upper surface of the second support portion 23 into strips. A U-shaped mounting bar 7 is provided on the front side of the hopper 5, above the crosscutting blade 3. Two short arms 72 of the mounting bar 7 are located on opposite sides of the hopper 5 and extend along the length of the crosscutting blade 3. The ends of the row of cutters 71, away from their blades, are detachably connected to the long arms of the mounting bar 7. The short arms 72 of the mounting bar 7 have second escape holes 721 defined along their lengths. The length of the second escape holes 721 is shorter than the length of the guide holes 112 on the side panels 11. A guide shaft 62, hinged to the rotating rod 63, passes through the second escape hole 721. As a result, when the base 6 translates, it can also translate with the mounting bar 7 and the row of cutters 71 via the guide shaft 62.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the second supporting portion 23 is provided with a plurality of third avoidance long holes 231 along its length direction. The plurality of third avoidance long holes 231 and the plurality of first avoidance long holes 32 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The lower end of the knife row 71 can also penetrate into the third avoidance long hole 231 by an appropriate distance, thereby ensuring that the sheet material on the second supporting portion 23 is completely cut.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a vertically movable cutter disc 8 is disposed below the second support portion 23. The cutter disc 8 is primarily used to dice the strip material on the second support portion 23. The cutter disc 8 includes a cutter frame 81 and a plurality of equally spaced blades 82 detachably mounted within the cutter frame 81. The blades 82 are vertically disposed, with their edges extending beyond the cutter frame 81 to facilitate dicing the strip material on the second support portion 23. A plurality of fourth avoidance long holes 232 are provided on the upper surface of the second supporting portion 23, and the plurality of fourth avoidance long holes 232 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of blades 82. The fourth avoidance long holes 232 are arranged through the upper and lower surfaces of the second supporting portion 23, and the plurality of fourth avoidance long holes 232 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the second supporting portion 23. The fourth avoidance long holes 232 extend along the width direction of the second supporting portion 23, and the blade 82 passes through the fourth avoidance long holes 232 from bottom to top and dices the strip material on the second supporting portion 23.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 As shown, a lever 9 is disposed between the two side panels 11 and below the crossbeam 61. The levers 9 are provided in two pieces and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lower portion of the side panels 11. The levers 9 extend along the length of the side panels 11. The end of the lever 9 below the cutter head 8 is connected to a first protrusion 91, and the other end is provided with a second protrusion 92. The second protrusion 92 is arranged to face the side of the first protrusion 91. A tilting lever 811 is abutted against the first protrusion 91. The tilting lever 811 is vertically disposed, and the lower end of the tilting lever 811 abuts against the first protrusion 91 via a second roller 8111. The upper end of the tilting lever 811 is fixedly connected to the cutter frame 81. Two downward pressing rods 611 are fixedly connected to the crossbeam 61. The two downward pressing rods 611 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the two levers 9. The lower ends of the downward pressing rods 611 are connected to a first roller 6111. When the first roller 6111 moves horizontally, it abuts against the second protrusion 92 via an inclined surface. When the rotating rod 63 is pulled up, the base 6 moves horizontally to the right, that is, to the rear side. During the translation process, when the downward pressure rod 611 on the beam 61 abuts against the second protrusion 92 through the inclined surface, the right side of the lever 9 is pressed down, and at the same time, the tilting rod 811 on the left end is vertically raised. Since the tilting rod 811 is connected to the knife frame 81, it pushes the knife frame 81 to rise. The upper side of the knife frame 81 is the cut strip material, and the blade 82 cuts the material into dices through the fourth avoidance long hole 232.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, in one example, a limiting block 114 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side panel 11, a limiting hole 1141 is provided on the limiting block 114, and the tilting rod 811 is passed through the limiting hole 1141, so that the tilting rod 811 is limited by the limiting hole 1141, so that the tilting rod 811 can only go straight up and down.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 7 As shown, in one example, an avoidance groove 33 is provided on the lower surface of the cross-cutting knife 3, and the avoidance groove 33 corresponds to the blade 82 in the cutter disc 8. The blade 82 penetrates into the avoidance groove 33 through the fourth avoidance long hole 232, thereby ensuring that the material is cut off and there is no incomplete cutting.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 8As shown, a material retaining plate 101 is disposed between the two side panels 11. The retaining plate 101 is configured to move vertically upward and downward. A fifth elongated hole 233 is defined along the width of the second support portion 23. When the retaining plate 101 moves upward, its upper end extends through the fifth elongated hole 233, thereby blocking and limiting the sheet material. Vertical guide holes 113 are also defined on the opposing inner sides of the two side panels 11. Guide posts 103 are connected to the lower side surfaces of the retaining plate 101, extending into the guide holes 113, thereby preventing the retaining plate 101 from moving vertically upward and downward.

[0043] Combine Figure 6 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, in order to enable the base 6 to indirectly control the straight up and down movement of the baffle plate 101 during translation, a long track 65 is fixedly connected to the opposite inner side walls of the two bases 6. The long track 65 extends along the length of the base 6. A paddle 651 is hingedly connected to the end of the long track 65 near the right side of the side panel 11. The free end of the paddle 651 abuts against the crossbeam 61, so that the paddle 651 can only be flipped upward. A stop post 102 is connected to the side surface of the lower end of the baffle plate 101. The stop post 102 is arranged horizontally, and the end of the stop post 102 passes through the window 111 of the side panel 11 and extends to a position directly below the long track 65. When the base 6 is translated to the left, that is, the front, side, the blocking column 102 will bump up the paddle 651 and then be located on the outside of the paddle 651. At this time, the paddle 651 will fall down and return to its original state due to the action of gravity. When the base 6 is controlled to be translated to the right, that is, the rear, side, the base 6 moves forward. Since the paddle 651 presses against the beam 61 to form a slope, the blocking column 102 on the baffle plate 101 will move upward along the slope formed by the paddle 651 when moving forward, so that the upper end of the baffle plate 101 extends from the fifth avoidance long hole 233 to block the sheet material.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of avoidance holes 1011 are provided at the upper end of the baffle plate 101. The distance between two adjacent avoidance holes 1011 is just enough for the row cutter 71 to pass through, and the width is only enough for the row cutter 71 to pass through. Therefore, the row cutter 71 can ensure that the material is completely cut into strips by passing through the avoidance holes 1011 on the baffle plate 101.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 8As shown, a push plate 104 is provided between the two bases 6 and below the first support 21. The first support 21 is provided with a plurality of sixth avoidance slots 211 along its length. These slots 211 are evenly spaced along the width of the first support 21, and extend until they are close to the fifth avoidance slots 233. The upper end of the push plate 104 is provided with a plurality of push portions 1041 corresponding one-to-one with the sixth avoidance slots 211. The push portions 1041 extend through the sixth avoidance slots 211 from bottom to top. The upper ends of the push portions 1041 are lower than the height of the first gap 4, allowing the push portions 1041 to completely push the sheet material onto the second support 23. The lower end of the push plate 104 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 61, allowing it to translate synchronously with the base 6.

[0046] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the user first presses the rotating rod 63 downwards, driving the hopper 5, the base 6 and the pushing plate 104 to move synchronously to the left, that is, the front side. The material in the hopper 5 will first be cut into slices by the cross-cutting knife 3, and the pushing plate 104 will push the slice body out of the first gap 4 to the upper surface of the second supporting portion 23, that is, just above the knife disc 8; in this process, the blocking column 102 at the lower end of the blocking plate 101 will bump up the paddle 651 and be located on the outside of the paddle 651. After the blocking column 102 comes out, the paddle 651 rotates and falls with natural gravity and leans against the crossbeam 61. Then the user lifts the rotating rod 63 upwards, and the rotating rod 63 drives the hopper 5, the base 6 and the pushing plate 104 to move synchronously to the left, that is, the front side. The seat 6 and the push plate 104 move a distance to the right, that is, to the rear side. Since a second avoidance long hole 721 is provided on the short arm 72 of the mounting bar 7, when the guide shaft 62 moves in the second avoidance long hole 721, there is a space connected between the knife row 71 and the hopper 5. The hopper 5 moves while the knife row 71 remains in place. During this displacement, the base 6 will move to the right. Since the paddle 651 presses against the beam 61 to form a slope, the blocking column 102 on the baffle plate 101 will move upward along the slope formed by the paddle 651 when moving forward, so that the upper end of the baffle plate 101 extends from the fifth avoidance long hole 233 on the upper side to block the sheet material.

[0047] Continue to lift the rotating rod 63 upwards, the hopper 5, the base 6 and the push plate 104 continue to move to the right, at this time the guide shaft 62 moves to the end position of the second avoidance long hole 721, the hopper 5 is connected to the row of cutters 71, the hopper 5 moves and drives the row of cutters 71 to move, the row of cutters 71 slides to the right to cut the sheet material into strips, at this time, since the baffle plate 101 has extended from the bottom to block the sheet material, the material can be kept stationary, which is convenient for cutting into strips.

[0048] Since the second supporting portion 23 is also provided with a third avoidance long hole 231, the row of cutters 71 penetrates into the appropriate distance, and the space on the upper side of the cutter disc 8, that is, between the cross-cutting knife 3 and the second supporting portion 23, can just accommodate a piece of material. As a result, the upper and lower, left and right positions of the material are all limited, ensuring that the material is within the cutting range of the row of cutters 71 and the material is completely cut.

[0049] After the strip cutting is completed, continue to lift the rotating rod 63. There is a pressing rod 611 on the lower side of the beam 61. When the first roller 6111 on the pressing rod 611 moves to the second protrusion 92 of the lever 9, the right side of the lever 9 is pressed down and the left side rises. The tilting rod 811 on the left side of the lever 9 is connected to the cutter disc 8, pushing the cutter disc 8 to rise. The upper side of the cutter disc 8 is the cut strip material, and the cutter disc 8 cuts the material into dices through the fourth avoidance long hole 232 on the second supporting part 23.

[0050] The next dicing operation can be continued by pushing the diced material from the previous time forward through the material that has been cut into slices. The diced material that has been pushed out falls into the container, and the dicing cycle continues. The thickness of the dicing, strip cutting, or slice cutting can also be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the material support plate 2 on the upper side of the knife disc 8 and the cross-cutting knife 3.

[0051] When strip cutting is required, the blade 8 is removed, the front strip cutting action is retained, the dicing action is removed, and the mode is changed to strip cutting.

[0052] When slicing is required, the above-mentioned strip cutting step is consistent with the above-mentioned strip cutting step, and the row of cutters 71 is disassembled, the row of cutters 71 will become ineffective, and only the cross-cutting knife 3 is left to cut the material into slices.

[0053] It should be understood that the above-mentioned specific embodiments of the present application are merely illustrative or explain the principles of the present application and do not constitute a limitation of the present application. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, the claims attached hereto are intended to cover all variations and modifications that fall within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or the equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
