Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of processing equipment, in particular to a plant or pickled plant processing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Vegetables, fruits, medicinal materials and other irregularly shaped plants, or pickled plants such as preserved turnips, need to be processed differently according to the shape of the products sold, such as slicing, shredding, shaping, etc. However, since most of these materials have a peel, and even the peel has a tendon, they usually need to be peeled before being sliced, shredded, or shaped. For example, the Chinese patent application CN109619606A discloses a ring-shaped preserved turnip peeling device, which loads the preserved turnips by setting a guide cylinder, then positions the preserved turnips by using the top pressure vegetable positioning block, and tears the peel by setting multiple peel tearing mechanical hands around the guide cylinder. For another example, the Chinese patent application CN110522046A discloses a preserved turnip peeling device, which positions the preserved turnips by setting a positioning needle and a clamping jaw, then cuts the preserved turnips longitudinally by using a cutting blade on the production line, and peels the cut preserved turnips by using a peeling assembly.

[0003] However, with the development of extrusion processing technology, processes such as peeling and shredding can be realized simultaneously, such as guillotine cutting and extrusion cutting. Among them, extrusion cutting is widely used because of its high cutting efficiency and one-time cutting forming advantage. Extrusion processing is to push the material to be processed into contact with the processing blade, so that the processing blade cuts the material to be processed.

[0004] For example, the Chinese patent application CN116277182A discloses a full-automatic processing equipment for irregularly shaped biological materials, which loads the biological materials by setting a containing tube, fixes the materials by setting an extrusion assembly and a side pressure limiting assembly, and then peels and cuts the materials by using the extrusion assembly to press the materials towards the cutting tool.

[0005] However, the above device can only place one material at a time, which greatly reduces the work efficiency. Usually, in order to increase the work efficiency, a flow line form can be adopted, for example, a conveying belt is used for transportation from feeding to final cleaning, and multiple containing tubes are placed on the conveying belt at intervals, so that materials can be continuously transported to the processing station. However, this method has the following problems:

[0006] 1) Since the time required for processing a single material to a finished product is relatively short, the feeding worker needs to continuously feed the conveying belt, which increases the labor intensity of the worker; and once there is no material in any tube, the whole process may stop or run empty, causing great loss;

[0007] 2) Device running process, need to dispatch staff to check the running state of the device, and whether each link has appeared abnormality etc.;

[0008] 3) The whole process adopts the conveying belt feeding, but the cutting tool is also in motion in the whole project, namely, two motion mechanisms need to move synchronously, on the one hand, the installation position between the two motion mechanisms needs to be accurately set; on the other hand, in order to ensure the synchronous motion between the two motion mechanisms, a high-precision control algorithm is needed, thereby greatly increasing the cost of the whole system;

[0009] 4) Since the cutting tool adopts the blade group formed by clamping, therefore, the gap between the embedded horizontal and vertical blades will produce residues, and for some materials with high viscosity, after cutting, only a single high-pressure water flow cannot be cleaned completely, and there is still a certain residue, thereby shortening the service life of the cutting tool. SUMMARY

[0010] The purpose of the present application is to provide a plant or pickled plant processing device and its processing method, which partially solves or alleviates the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, and can adapt to different processing rhythm requirements of different materials.

[0011] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present application specifically adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] The present application provides a plant or pickled plant processing device, which comprises: a feeding module, a processing module, and a waste separation module and a cleaning module arranged on the motion path of the cutting tool in the processing module, and a control module for controlling the feeding module, the processing module, the waste separation module and the cleaning module, wherein,

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the waste separation module comprises: a shovel for separating the waste on the processed product which moves with the cutting tool to the separation station, and a scraper for removing the waste which moves to the waste discharge station after separation.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the plant or pickled plant processing device further comprises: a waste conveying mechanism arranged below the waste outlet station.

[0025] In some embodiments of the present application, the plant or pickled plant processing device further comprises: a product conveying mechanism arranged below the finished product discharging station.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the plant or pickled plant processing device further comprises: a safety / feeding detection mechanism for detecting whether the barrels on the turntable are loaded with materials to be processed; and a mechanism for detecting whether a person's limbs appear in a specific area.

[0027] In some embodiments of the present application, the control module specifically comprises:

[0028] a judging unit for judging whether the number of barrels loaded with materials to be processed on the turntable is greater than or equal to a preset loading number, and the arrangement structure of each barrel loaded with materials is a preset arrangement structure;

[0029] a tool control unit for controlling the rotation of the turntable when the judging unit judges that the number of barrels loaded with materials to be processed on the turntable is greater than or equal to the preset loading number, and the arrangement structure of each barrel is the preset arrangement structure, so that the preset number of barrels are sequentially moved to the processing station, and the cutting tool is controlled to move along the movement path between the processing station, the waste separation station, the waste discharging station, and the finished product discharging station in a reciprocating manner until a cleaning period (i.e., a preset number of processing periods are completed) is reached, and the cutting tool is controlled to move to the cleaning station for cleaning;

[0030] The loading control unit is used for controlling the rotation of the rotating disc when the judgment unit judges that the number of the material barrels loaded with the material to be processed on the rotating disc is less than the preset loading number, so that the material barrels not yet loaded on the rotating disc are moved to the loading station, and the loading is performed according to the preset arrangement structure until the control unit judges that the number of the material barrels loaded with the material to be processed is greater than or equal to the preset loading number and is in the preset arrangement structure.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The pipeline mode only considers the working efficiency from the aspect of working efficiency, but in actual work, it also needs to be comprehensively considered in the labor intensity of workers, cost, safety in the running process, and working rhythm and the like. Therefore, the present application comprehensively considers the labor intensity of workers, cost, and the characteristics of the material to be processed (for example, according to the viscosity in the processing process, so as to determine the amount of residue on the cutting tool), and the like, and puts forward a new processing device which adopts the combination of the rotating disc type loading and the double mode cleaning (i.e. the coarse cleaning mode of the waste separation module and the fine cleaning mode of the combination of the high-pressure gas flow and the high-pressure water flow), so that the cutting tool can be thoroughly cleaned after one processing cycle (i.e. the same batch of material on the rotating disc completes the finished product discharge) or even two processing cycles (for example, for the material processing with low viscosity or no viscosity), that is, through the coordination between the rotating disc type loading rhythm and the cleaning rhythm, the production efficiency is higher, and the problem that the cutting tool is cleaned once after each material processing and discharge in the traditional way, so that the whole production line stops production, resulting in time waste and low working efficiency (indirectly increasing the manufacturing cost) is avoided.

[0032] In practice, it is found that, on the one hand, due to the different characteristics of the material to be processed, such as the viscosity (usually, the viscosity of the material after pickling is higher than that of the material without pickling), and the different basic time lengths from processing to finished product discharge of each material to be processed; on the other hand, due to the manual loading, the labor intensity of the loading workers needs to be considered, and whether there is spare time to check the time allowance of the remaining work in the processing process; and the time from the loading station to the finished product discharge station and the cleaning station, therefore, the processing rhythm corresponding to different materials to be processed is different. For example, for some materials to be processed with low viscosity and small size, the processing rhythm may need to be compact; and for some materials to be processed with high viscosity and large size, the processing rhythm may need to be slow. In order to adapt to the needs of different processing rhythms, the present application adopts the combination of the rotating disc type loading structure and the double cleaning mode, so that the user can set different processing cycle parameters and cleaning cycles according to different materials to be processed, thereby realizing the adjustment of the working rhythm.

[0033] Further, in the traditional pipeline working mode, once there is a vacancy on the conveyor belt, the whole system will run empty (if the vacancy is checked by a person, the whole system may even stop), thereby causing certain losses. In the present application, the rotary table type feeding module is adopted, so that the adjustment of the rotary table can be completed at any index, that is, the number and arrangement structure of the barrels are adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the processing period and the cleaning period, and further realizing the adjustment of the process beat to adapt to the needs of different product processing technologies, greatly improving the application range of the whole device, that is, improving the universality of the device. That is, in order to avoid the situation of empty running or production line shutdown, the traditional pipeline working mode does not allow the presence of a vacancy (that is, a barrel without loading material); in the present application, in order to adapt to the cleaning period in different material processing technologies, a vacancy is allowed on the rotary table, and even the position and / or number of the vacancy are adjusted to realize different arrangement structures, thereby realizing the adjustment of the processing period, the cleaning period of different materials to be processed, and further realizing the adjustment of different processing beats.

[0034] The feeding module of the present application adopts a rotary table type feeding structure, which can simultaneously complete the feeding of multiple barrels at a time, thereby providing sufficient free time for the workers to rest or conduct safety inspection; at the same time, the rotary table type feeding structure simplifies the mechanical structure and the floor space; and moreover, the above-mentioned defects of the conveyor belt type feeding device are avoided.

[0035] The present application adopts a rotary table feeding mode, which can adjust the index and time beat at any index through the control of the rotary table to adapt to different requirements of various process procedures on the working beat.

[0036] The combined extrusion sleeve structure in the present application can ensure the replaceability and quickness of the pressure head and the barrel to adapt to different product scales.

[0037] Compared with the traditional stainless steel integrated cutter structure, the present application adopts a two-way cross-embedded blade combination structure, which reduces the cutter manufacturing cost (the cost of the integrated cutter structure is about 20,000 yuan, while the blade combination structure made of the same material is about 2,000 yuan, and the finished product is greatly reduced), and even if a certain blade is damaged, since the embedded structure allows any blade unit to be detachable, any damaged blade can be replaced individually without the need for overall replacement, greatly reducing the maintenance cost and improving the reusability of the cutter. Among them, the two groups of blades in the two-way cross-embedded blade combination structure can be vertically embedded or set at a certain angle, so that the angle or spacing between the two groups of blades can be set according to different shaped finished products, thereby obtaining different shaped cutting cavities, greatly improving the application range of the blade combination structure.

[0038] Further, since the blade combination structure is adopted, in order to remove the foreign matters such as residual sinews between the blade fitting gaps, the finished product and waste are separated by combining the waste separation module (for example, a shovel blade), and the waste is discharged, and the cleaning module is used to provide high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow to clean the cutting tool to remove the residual matters and corrosive components on the cutting tool, that is, the first cleaning of the cutting tool is realized by the waste separation module, and the second cleaning of the cutting tool is realized by the cleaning module to remove the residual matters and corrosive components on the cutting tool, so that the service life of the cutting tool is greatly improved.

[0039] Secondly, since the high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow are combined, the cleaning strength is higher than that of the single high-pressure water flow mode, so that when processing some materials with low viscosity, cleaning is not required after each processing, but cleaning is required after one processing cycle or two processing cycles (for example, for processing some viscous materials or materials with very low viscosity), so that the time waste and cost loss caused by stopping the whole production line for cleaning the cutting tool are greatly saved.

[0040] Further, the safety and feeding detection system is provided, and the corresponding process is performed only when the material cylinder is detected to have materials, so that time waste caused by empty running of the station is avoided. The safety detection ensures the safety of personnel operation and the safety of equipment operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. In this document, "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the listed related items. "Multiple" in this document means two or more, i.e., it includes two, three, four, five, etc.

[0062] In this article, "plants" refers to materials that require peeling (including stems) and cutting into a specific shape (e.g., strips or slices) during processing, such as irregularly shaped vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs. "Pickled plants" refers to pickled materials that require peeling (including stems) and cutting into a specific shape (e.g., strips or slices) during processing, such as irregularly shaped pickled mustard greens. For ease of description, both "plants" and "pickled plants" will be collectively referred to as "materials to be processed" in this article.

[0063] Example 1: See Figure 1- Figure 8 This is a structural diagram and module diagram of a plant or pickled plant processing apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the plant or pickled plant processing apparatus includes: a feeding module 1, a processing module 2, a waste separation module 3 and a cleaning module 4 disposed on the movement path of the cutting tool 21 in the processing module 2, and a control module 5 for controlling the feeding module 1, the processing module 2, the waste separation module 3 and the cleaning module 4.

[0064] In some embodiments, the feeding module 1 includes: a turntable 11 mounted on a frame 100, a plurality of material cylinders 12 for holding materials to be processed (e.g., pickled mustard tubers with a certain degree of stickiness) are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the turntable 11, and a turntable drive mechanism 13 connected to the control module 5, the turntable drive mechanism 13 being used to drive the turntable 11 to rotate.

[0065] In some embodiments, at least one material cylinder is located at the loading station in the initial state. Preferably, six material cylinders 12 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the turntable 1, and in the initial state, three material cylinders 12 are located at the loading station.

[0066] In some embodiments, the turntable drive mechanism 13 is a motor, the output shaft of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the turntable 11.

[0067] In some embodiments, the material cylinder 12 is provided with a limiting mechanism for clamping the material to be processed. The limiting mechanism includes clamping blocks 141 evenly spaced along the circumference of the cylinder wall of the material cylinder 12. The clamping blocks 141 are arranged on the cylinder wall of the material cylinder 12 in a manner that allows them to rotate relative to the material cylinder.

[0068] Specifically, the material cylinder 12 has a plurality of mounting holes evenly spaced along its circumference. The top end of the clamping block 141 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole via a rotating shaft. Its clamping end 1411 extends into the material cylinder 12 to clamp the material. An elastic component 142 (e.g., a spring) is connected to the outer protruding limiting part 1412. The other end of the elastic component 142 is fixed to a mounting bracket 143 on the outside of the mounting hole. When the clamping end 1411 is subjected to an external force (e.g., the squeezing action of the material to be processed in the material cylinder), the elastic component 142 provides tension, so that the bottom of the clamping block 141 is always in a clamping state, thereby being able to clamp the material.

[0069] In some embodiments, the processing module 2 includes: an extrusion mechanism 22 for extruding the material to be processed in the processing station's extrusion cylinder 12; a cutting tool 21 for cutting the material to be processed under the extrusion action of the extrusion mechanism 22; a tool slide 24 for providing a motion path; and a tool drive mechanism 23 for driving the cutting tool 21 to reciprocate between the processing station, waste separation station, waste discharge station, finished product discharge station, and cleaning station on the motion path; the tool drive mechanism 23 is connected to the control module 5.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cutting tool 21 includes: a sliding blade holder 211, a plurality of first blades 212 arranged side by side at equal intervals along a first direction (e.g., transverse) on the sliding blade holder 211, and a plurality of second blades 213 arranged side by side at equal intervals along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction (e.g., longitudinal) on the sliding blade holder 211, wherein the first blades 212 and the second blades 213 are detachably fitted together (specifically, a plurality of blade slots 215 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the second blades 213, and the body of the first blades 212 is fitted into the blade slots 215), and the cutting edges 214 of the first blades 2112 and the second blades 213 are flush.

[0071] Specifically, the upper surface of the plurality of second blades 213 is blade-shaped, and a plurality of blade slots 215 are provided at intervals along their length direction (specifically, the blade slots extend vertically downward from the blade). When the plurality of first blades 212 are inserted into the blade slots 215, a plurality of square-shaped cutting cavities 210 are formed between the plurality of first blades 212 and the plurality of second blades 213.

[0072] Of course, in other embodiments, the shape of the cutting cavity formed between the first and second blades can be adapted to the cutting of products of different shapes by adjusting the angle between the first and second directions (e.g., the first and second directions form an acute angle). Furthermore, the spacing between the blades can also be adjusted to accommodate the cutting of even more products of different shapes.

[0073] In some embodiments, the extrusion mechanism 22 includes an electric cylinder 222 mounted on a bracket 100 via a mounting bracket 225. An extrusion component 224 is mounted on the top of the electric cylinder 222. The electric cylinder 222 is driven by a drive motor 221 to drive the extrusion component 224 to reciprocate vertically. Correspondingly, the area below the extrusion component 224 is the processing station. Therefore, when the cutting tool moves to the area below the extrusion component (i.e., moves to the processing station), it can cooperate with the extrusion mechanism to simultaneously complete peeling and cutting.

[0074] In some embodiments, the tool drive mechanism 23 includes: a sliding rail 234 providing a movement path for the cutting tool; a tool slide 232 mounting the cutting tool and driving it to move on the sliding rail 234; and a tool drive motor 231 driving the tool slide 232 to move on the sliding rail. Further, a bellows cover 235 is provided on the sliding rail, the top surface of which is inclined to facilitate drainage. Further, a water tray 233 for collecting water is also provided below the rail.

[0075] In some embodiments, the waste separation module 3 includes: a shovel 31 for separating waste that moves with the cutting tool 21 to the waste separation station (at this time, the waste is connected with the strip-shaped or sheet-shaped finished product), and a scraper 32 for removing the separated waste that moves to the waste discharge station.

[0076] In some embodiments, the scraper 31 is mounted between the processing station and the finished product discharge station via a mounting bracket, with the cutting edge of the scraper 31 facing the direction of movement of the cutting tool 21 toward the cleaning module. Thus, when the cutting tool, carrying waste and finished product, passes through the waste separation station on its way to the cleaning module, the scraper 31 separates the waste and finished product located on the upper surface of the cutting tool. Preferably, the height and tilt angle of the scraper 31 can be adjusted by adjusting the height and tilt angle of the mounting bracket on the frame 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the scraper 32 is mounted between the waste separation station and the finished product discharge station at the scraper via a mounting bracket, and the scraper station is the waste discharge station. Correspondingly, a waste receiving hopper 101a is provided below the scraper 32 to convey the waste scraped off the cutting tool to the waste transport mechanism 9. Specifically, when the cutting tool 21 moves towards the finished product discharge station, as it passes the waste discharge station, since the waste has already separated from the finished product, the scraper will scrape the waste off the cutting tool and transport it out through the waste receiving hopper 101a into the waste transport mechanism 9.

[0078] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 4 includes: an air blowing mechanism that provides high-pressure airflow to the cutting tool 21 moving to the cleaning station, and a spraying mechanism that provides high-pressure water flow to the cutting tool 21 moving to the cleaning station, wherein the air blowing mechanism and the spraying mechanism are respectively connected to the control module 5.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 4 further includes a mounting bracket 43 mounted on the frame, with the air knife 411 of the blowing mechanism 41 and the water nozzle 421 of the spraying mechanism respectively mounted on both sides of the mounting bracket 43, and when the cutting tool 21 moves to the cleaning station, the air knife 411 and the water nozzle 421 are located above the cutting tool 21.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cleaning module 4 further includes: a water tank 45 and a water supply pipe connected to the water tank 45 and the spray mechanism.

[0081] Furthermore, to avoid mutual interference, a partition plate 422 is provided between the water nozzle 421 and the air knife 411. Preferably, the air knife and the water nozzle are integrated into one compartment and separated by a partition plate. Preferably, this cleaning station is also the location for removing and installing cutting tools.

[0082] In some embodiments, the plant or pickled plant processing apparatus further includes: a discharge module 6 disposed at the finished product discharge station, specifically including: a pin array 61 for separating the finished product that follows the cutting tool 21 to the finished product discharge station from the cutting tool 21; and a pin drive mechanism 62 for driving the pin array 61 to move up and down; the pin drive mechanism 62 is connected to the control module 5.

[0083] In some embodiments, each array unit of the ejector pin array 61 matches the shape of the cutting cavity in the cutting tool, so that when the ejector pin drive mechanism 62 drives the ejector pin array to move towards the cutting tool, each array unit on the ejector pin array 61 pushes the finished product out of the cutting tool, thereby achieving automatic material discharge. Of course, the finished product discharge station is located below the ejector pin array, and a finished product receiving cylinder 101b is provided below the finished product discharge station, so that the finished product that has detached from the cutting tool enters the finished product receiving cylinder 101b under the action of gravity, and is guided by the finished product receiving cylinder 101b into the finished product transport mechanism 8.

[0084] In some embodiments, both the waste transport mechanism and the finished product transport mechanism employ conveyor belt drive mechanisms.

[0085] In some embodiments, the ejector drive mechanism employs an adjustable stroke cylinder; each array unit employs a T-shaped ejector pin with a spherical end to prevent material sticking.

[0086] In some embodiments, the plant or pickled plant processing apparatus further includes a safety / feeding detection mechanism 7 for detecting whether the material cylinder 12 on the turntable 11 is loaded with material.

[0087] For example, after the device is initialized, the detection mechanism checks whether all the cylinders on the turntable 11 contain material. When it is detected that all the cylinders on the turntable 11 are loaded with material, the control module 5 is triggered to start the processing flow. Alternatively, when it is detected that the cylinders of a preset loading number contain material to be processed in a preset arrangement, the control module is triggered to start the processing flow.

[0088] In some embodiments, the safety / feeding detection mechanism may employ multiple vision sensors, such as cameras, spaced at intervals along the circumference of the turntable at the feeding / processing station. Alternatively, a corresponding material sensor, such as a pressure sensor, may be installed within each material cylinder.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control module 5 is used to control the turntable drive mechanism 13 to drive the turntable 11 to rotate, so that multiple material cylinders 12 rotate sequentially and periodically or selectively to the feeding station and the processing station for feeding and extrusion processing; and to control the cutting tool 21 in the processing module 2 to reciprocate at the processing station, the waste separation station, the waste discharge station, the finished product discharge station, and the cleaning station.

[0090] Preferably, in order to save space and simplify the control algorithm, the movement path of the cutting tool is a linear movement path, and the aforementioned processing station, waste separation station, waste discharge station, finished product discharge station and cleaning station are sequentially arranged on this linear movement path.

[0091] Specifically, whenever the cutting tool 21 returns to the processing station, the turntable 11 is rotated to move the next material cylinder 12 to the processing station; and when a cleaning cycle is reached (i.e., after completing a preset number of processing cycles, such as one or two processing cycles), the cutting tool 21 is moved to the cleaning station, and the cleaning module 4 simultaneously sprays high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow onto the cutting tool 21 located at the cleaning station. A processing cycle is defined as the completion of processing of all materials in all the material cylinders on the turntable 11 and the output of the finished product.

[0092] In some embodiments, the control module specifically includes:

[0093] The human-computer interaction module is used by users to set the corresponding cleaning cycle (i.e., set the number of preset processing cycles to be completed) according to different materials to be processed, as well as preset processing cycle parameters, such as preset loading quantity and the arrangement structure of each material cylinder.

[0094] The judgment unit is used to receive the detection data detected by the safety / feeding detection mechanism and determine whether the number of material cylinders loaded with the material to be processed on the turntable is greater than or equal to the preset loading quantity, and whether the arrangement structure of each material cylinder loaded with the material is the preset arrangement structure.

[0095] The tool control unit is used to control the rotation of the turntable when the judgment unit determines that the number of material cylinders loaded with materials to be processed on the turntable is greater than or equal to the preset loading quantity and the arrangement of each material cylinder is in the preset arrangement structure. This causes each material cylinder of the preset loading quantity to move to the processing station in sequence, and controls the cutting tool to move back and forth between the processing station, the waste separation station, the waste discharge station, and the finished product discharge station along the movement path until the preset cleaning cycle is reached. Then, the cutting tool is controlled to move to the cleaning station for cleaning.

[0096] The feeding control unit is used to control the turntable to rotate when the judgment unit determines that the number of cylinders loaded with materials to be processed on the turntable is less than the preset loading quantity. This causes the cylinders that have not yet been loaded to move to the feeding station and be loaded according to the preset arrangement structure until the control unit determines that the number of cylinders loaded with materials to be processed is greater than or equal to the preset loading quantity and is arranged in the preset arrangement structure.

[0097] In some embodiments, the control module further includes a safety detection unit, used to determine whether there are any human limbs in a specific area based on the detection data detected by the safety / feeding detection mechanism before the feeding control unit or the tool control unit controls the turntable to rotate; if so, stop controlling the turntable to rotate; if there are no human limbs in the specific area, control the turntable to rotate.

[0098] In some embodiments, the aforementioned specific area includes the area where the loading station is located and the area where the processing station is located.

[0099] In some embodiments, the aforementioned tool control unit is specifically used to determine, based on detection data, whether the current barrel at the current processing station is loaded with material to be processed; if it is loaded with material to be processed, the control system controls the cutting tool to move to the processing station and controls the extrusion mechanism to move downwards to cooperate with the cutting tool in extruding the material to be processed; and after the extrusion processing is completed, the control unit controls the cutting tool to pass through the waste separation station and the waste discharge station in sequence to complete the automatic separation and discharge of waste, and then moves to the finished product discharge station; and when the cutting tool moves to the finished product discharge station, the control unit controls the ejector pin array to discharge the finished product; and when the finished product discharge is completed, it determines whether the preset cleaning cycle (i.e., the preset number of processing cycles) has been reached; if so, the control unit controls the cutting tool to move to the cleaning station and controls the air blowing mechanism and the spraying mechanism to simultaneously provide high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow to the cutting tool to clean the cutting tool; if the cleaning cycle has not been reached, the control unit controls the cutting tool to return to the processing station to process the next material to be processed, and so on until the preset cleaning cycle is reached, and then controls the cutting tool to move to the cleaning station for cleaning.

[0100] Specifically, an initial variable cylinder count is set and assigned an initial value of 0. Each time the extrusion process is completed or the finished product is discharged, the initial variable cylinder count is incremented by one until the value of the initial variable cylinder count is greater than or equal to the product of the preset loading quantity and the preset number of processing cycles. At this point, it is determined that the cleaning cycle has been reached and the count is reset to 0 to start counting again. Otherwise, it is determined that the cleaning cycle has not been reached.

[0101] Example 2: See Figure 9 Based on the above-described plant or pickled plant processing apparatus, the present invention also provides a method for processing plants or pickled plants, comprising the following steps:

[0102] S101, the control module receives the detection data fed back by the safety / feeding detection mechanism, and determines whether the number of material cylinders loaded with the material to be processed on the turntable in the feeding module is greater than or equal to the preset loading quantity, and whether the arrangement structure of each material cylinder loaded with the material is the preset arrangement structure. If so, proceed to step S102; otherwise, proceed to step S103.

[0103] In some embodiments, the user pre-sets the corresponding preset processing cycle parameters (preset loading quantity and preset layout structure) and cleaning cycle on the human-machine interface of the control module according to the working rhythm of the materials to be processed.

[0104] In some embodiments, a processing cycle is defined as the completion of processing, waste separation, waste discharge, and finished product discharge of materials in multiple cylinders on a turntable with a preset loading quantity and a preset arrangement. The preset arrangement includes adjacent or spaced arrangement; the preset loading quantity is greater than or equal to three, and less than or equal to the total number of cylinders on the turntable.

[0105] For example, a turntable has six material cylinders evenly distributed along its axis. For materials with short cleaning cycles (e.g., thorough cleaning is required after processing three cylinders) and a slow processing pace, the user pre-sets a processing cycle parameter on the control module's user interface: three cylinders (i.e., the preset loading quantity), a preset arrangement of spaced cylinders, and a cleaning cycle of once after each processing cycle. See also... Figure 10a As shown, the material cylinders A1, B1, and C1 are arranged at intervals, meaning that there is a gap (i.e., a cylinder without material to be processed) between the cylinders with a preset loading quantity. Because the cycle time is relatively slow, an intermittent arrangement structure is adopted, which makes the processing interval time between materials to be processed and the cleaning cycle interval relatively long, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall processing cycle time.

[0106] For example, a turntable has six cylinders evenly distributed along its circumference. For materials with long cleaning cycles (e.g., thorough cleaning is only required after processing six cylinders) and a relatively tight processing rhythm, a processing cycle of three cylinders (i.e., a preset loading quantity) is pre-set in the control system. The preset arrangement is: adjacent arrangement, see [reference needed]. Figure 10b As shown, material cylinders A2, B2, and C2 are arranged adjacent to each other. Due to the relatively compact cycle time, this adjacent arrangement structure results in shorter processing intervals and cleaning cycle intervals between materials, thus allowing for adjustment of the overall processing cycle time.

[0107] On the other hand, due to the adoption of a rotary feeding structure and the aforementioned pre-arranged layout, there is at least one empty space between the processing station and the nearest feeding station along the rotation direction of the rotary table (e.g., ...). Figure 10a As shown, when the material cylinder C1 moves to the processing station below the extrusion mechanism, it is separated from the nearest loading station F along the rotation direction of the turntable by an empty material cylinder; and as... Figure 10b As shown, when the material cylinder C2 moves to the processing station below the extrusion mechanism, it is separated from the nearest loading station F along the rotation direction of the turntable by an empty material cylinder B (at which time the empty material cylinder A is located at the loading station). This allows the turntable to rotate and load material even when cleaning is in progress. After cleaning is completed, the next processing cycle can be started directly, further saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0108] S102, the control module controls the turntable to rotate, so that each material cylinder with a preset loading quantity moves to the processing station in sequence, and controls the cutting tool to move to the processing station through the tool drive mechanism, thus executing S104.

[0109] In some embodiments, before controlling the cutting tool to move to the machining station, the method further includes the following steps:

[0110] Based on the detection data detected by the safety / inspection agency, the system determines whether the barrel currently located at the processing station is loaded with material to be processed. If it is loaded with material to be processed, the control system controls the cutting tool to move to the processing station. Otherwise, the system controls the turntable to rotate so that the next barrel moves to the processing station and checks again whether the barrel is loaded with material to be processed. This cycle continues until it is determined that the barrel located at the processing station is loaded with material to be processed, at which point the system controls the cutting tool to move to the processing station.

[0111] S103, the control module drives the turntable to rotate through the turntable drive mechanism, so that the unloaded cylinder rotates to the loading station and loads the material according to the preset arrangement structure, thus executing step S101.

[0112] S104, control the extrusion mechanism and the cutting tool to work together to simultaneously peel and cut the material to be processed, and execute step S105.

[0113] In some embodiments, the control module typically receives a feedback signal from the tool drive mechanism indicating that the cutting tool is in place, and then initiates the extrusion mechanism to work in conjunction with the cutting tool. Of course, in other embodiments, the extrusion mechanism and the cutting tool can be activated simultaneously.

[0114] S105, the control module controls the cutting tool to move to the waste separation station through the tool drive mechanism to separate and discharge the waste, and executes step S106.

[0115] In some embodiments, the control module receives a feedback signal from the extrusion mechanism indicating that the processing is complete, and then controls the cutting tool to move to the waste separation station for waste separation.

[0116] S106, the control module controls the ejector pin array to discharge material through the lifting mechanism, and executes step S107.

[0117] In some embodiments, the control module receives a feedback signal from the processing module indicating that the cutting tool is in place at the finished product discharge station, and then controls the ejector pin array to descend for discharge.

[0118] S107, the control module determines whether the preset cleaning cycle has been reached. If yes, proceed to step S108; otherwise, proceed to step S109.

[0119] In some embodiments, an initial variable cylinder count is preset and assigned an initial value of 0. After each extrusion process is completed (e.g., after completing steps S104, S105, or S106), the initial variable cylinder count is incremented by one. Therefore, the product of the initial variable cylinder count N0 and the preset number of processing cycles Q and the preset loading quantity N1 corresponding to each processing cycle is Q × N1. If N0 is greater than or equal to Q × N1, it is determined that the preset number of processing cycles has been completed; otherwise, it is determined that the processing cycle has not been completed. That is, the counting cycle of the initial variable is the same as the cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle refers to the cleaning of the cutting tool within the preset Q processing cycles, from the first material to be processed until the last material to be processed is discharged as a finished product.

[0120] As mentioned earlier, different materials have different processing cycles and require different cleaning times. For example, some highly viscous materials require three processing cycles to reach the finished product, meaning they need to be cleaned after one processing cycle. Conversely, some very low-viscosity or non-viscous materials require twelve processing cycles to reach the finished product before cleaning is needed. Therefore, the cleaning cycle needs to be set in advance based on the actual needs of different materials during processing (e.g., low-viscosity materials can be cleaned after two or more processing cycles, while highly viscous materials can be cleaned after one processing cycle).

[0121] In other embodiments, it may be determined whether the preset cleaning cycle has been reached after step S102 or step S104 has been completed.

[0122] S108, the control module controls the cutting tool to return to the processing station through the tool drive mechanism, and at the same time controls the turntable to rotate through the turntable drive mechanism, so that the next material cylinder rotates to the processing station, and executes step S104.

[0123] In some embodiments, the control module may receive a feedback signal from the lifting mechanism indicating that the material discharge is complete, and then control the cutting tool to return to the processing station.

[0124] Of course, in some embodiments, when the next material cylinder rotates to the processing station, it is also necessary to first determine whether the material cylinder is loaded with material to be processed. If so, step S104 is executed; otherwise, the turntable is controlled to continue rotating until it is determined that the material cylinder currently located at the processing station is loaded with material, and then step S104 is executed.

[0125] S109, the control module drives the cutting tool from the finished product discharge station to the cleaning station through the tool drive mechanism. When the cutting tool is in position at the cleaning station (e.g., when the positioning signal is received from the tool drive mechanism), the control module controls the air blowing mechanism and the spraying mechanism to simultaneously provide high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow to the cutting tool to clean it. After cleaning is completed (e.g., when the control module receives feedback signals from the air blowing mechanism and the spraying mechanism indicating that cleaning is complete), the control module drives the cutting tool to return to the processing station through the tool drive mechanism. At the same time, the control module controls the turntable to rotate through the turntable drive mechanism, so that the next material cylinder rotates to the processing station, i.e., step S101 is executed again.

[0126] In this embodiment, the control module controls the cutting tool to reciprocate between the processing station, the waste separation station, the waste discharge station, and the finished product discharge station in sequence until all the materials to be processed in all the cylinders on the turntable are processed and the finished product is discharged. After each processing cycle is completed, the cutting tool is controlled to move to the cleaning station for high-pressure airflow and high-pressure water flow cleaning. Compared with the production line mode, which cleans after each processing and shuts down the entire production line during cleaning, a lot of idle time is saved.

[0127] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

Of course, they can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method.
