Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of flat object slicing, and in particular to a slicer and a slicing method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the automation level of industrial equipment in my country, the manufacturing production line is gradually developing in the direction of personalization and efficiency. In the food processing industry, soaked bamboo shoots, due to their soft and flat properties, pose a considerable challenge to mass production. The traditional slicing method mainly relies on manual slicing machines. Operators need to hold the soaked bamboo shoots and rub them repeatedly on the rotating knife disc to complete the slicing. This method is not only labor-intensive and easy to make operators feel tired, but also has certain safety hazards, because the rotating knife disc may cause accidental injuries.

[0003] In addition, the hand-held slicing operation is inefficient. Only one piece of bamboo shoot can be processed at a time, and batch processing cannot be achieved, which greatly limits the improvement of production efficiency. At the same time, the control of slice thickness is also completely dependent on the operator's hand pressure. This control method is not only difficult to ensure the stability of slice accuracy, but also easily causes uneven slice thickness, affecting the quality and taste of the product.

[0004] In summary, the existing manual slicing machines have many shortcomings in the process of slicing soaked bamboo shoots, and a new type of slicing machine and slicing method are urgently needed to overcome these shortcomings, improve slicing efficiency and quality, and reduce labor intensity and safety risks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a slicer, including a frame 1, a cutting mechanism 2, a reciprocating translation mechanism 3, a downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 and an adsorbent 5. The cutting mechanism 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and the cutting mechanism 2 includes a knife disc 21 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and a cutting gap adapted to the slice thickness is provided between the knife disc 21 and the working plane of the frame 1. The reciprocating translation mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1 to drive the piece to be cut 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) to move to the knife disc 21 for horizontal reciprocating cutting. The downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 is mounted on the reciprocating translation mechanism 3 to drive the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 to reciprocate horizontally through the reciprocating translation mechanism 3. The adsorbent 5 is mounted on the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 to drive the adsorbent 5 to lift and adsorb the piece to be cut 100 through the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 and press down to a specified height adapted to the slice thickness after each cutting.

[0020] Compared with the traditional manual slicing method, the slicer provided by the present invention has significant beneficial effects: 1. Improving the safety of slicing: The present invention realizes the automatic slicing of the object 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) to be cut through the coordinated cooperation of the cutting mechanism 2, the reciprocating translation mechanism 3, the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 and the adsorption member 5. This not only greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator, but also avoids the safety hazards caused by manual operation, and effectively improves the safety and reliability of the slicing operation.

[0021] ‌Second, improve slicing efficiency‌: The reciprocating translation mechanism 3 in the present invention can drive the piece to be cut 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) to perform horizontal reciprocating cutting on the knife disc 21, realizing a fast reciprocating slicing action. Compared with the traditional hand-held slicing method that can only handle one piece of bamboo shoots at a time, the adsorbent 5 can simultaneously adsorb multiple pieces of bamboo shoots for slicing, realizing batch slicing and greatly improving the cutting efficiency. At the same time, the cooperation between the downward lifting mechanism 4 and the adsorbent 5 enables the position of the piece to be cut 100 to be adjusted quickly and accurately after each cutting, further improving the cutting speed.

[0022] ‌Third, improve slicing accuracy‌: There is a cutting gap between the cutter disc 21 and the working plane of the frame 1 that matches the slice thickness, ensuring accurate control of the cutting thickness. In addition, the adsorbent 5 can be lifted and lowered to adsorb the piece to be cut 100 under the drive of the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4, and pressed down to a specified height that matches the slice thickness after each cutting, thereby achieving a high-precision cutting effect. It can ensure that the piece to be cut 100 can reach the preset thickness after each cutting, thereby solving the problem of uneven slice thickness in the traditional slicing method and improving the slicing accuracy and product quality.

[0023] In summary, the slicer provided by the present invention has significant beneficial effects such as high safety, high slicing efficiency, and high slicing accuracy, and provides a safer, more efficient, and more accurate solution for the cutting and processing of ingredients such as soaked bamboo shoots.

[0024] The slicing method using the slicer of the present invention comprises the following steps: The workpiece 100 to be cut is fed into the material taking position on the working plane of the frame 1; The downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 drives the adsorbing member 5 to press down and adsorb the piece to be cut 100 at the material taking position; The reciprocating translation mechanism 3 drives the adsorption member 5 and the piece to be cut 100 to move back and forth in the direction of the knife disc 21. Each time a reciprocating movement is performed, the downward lifting mechanism 4 drives the adsorption member 5 to be pressed down to a specified height corresponding to the thickness of the slice, so that the piece to be cut 100 adsorbed by the adsorption member 5 and the rotating knife disc 21 perform multiple slicing actions until the slicing is completed. The slicing method provided by the present invention has significant beneficial effects such as high safety, high slicing efficiency, and high slicing accuracy, and provides a safer, more efficient, and more accurate solution for the cutting processing of ingredients such as soaked dried bamboo shoots.

[0025] In this embodiment, the reciprocating translation mechanism 3 adopts a crank-connecting rod mechanism. The crank-connecting rod mechanism includes a guide rail 31, a sliding seat 32, a push rod 33, a rocker arm 34 and a translation motor 35. The two guide rails 31 are fixed in parallel to the top of the frame 1, and the sliding seat 32 is slidably installed on the two guide rails 31 through a slider. One end of the push rod 33 is hinged on the sliding seat 32, and the other end is hinged on one end of the rocker arm 34, and the other end of the rocker arm 34 is fixed to the output shaft of the translation motor 35. The translation motor 35 is fixed to the top of the frame 1. When the translation motor 35 is started to rotate, the output shaft of the translation motor 35 drives the rocker arm 34 to rotate, the rocker arm 34 drives the push rod 33 to rotate, and the push rod 33 pushes the sliding seat 32 to slide along the guide rail 31.

[0026] The crank-connecting rod mechanism realizes the rapid reciprocating translational motion of the piece to be cut 100 through the ingenious combination of the guide rail 31, the sliding seat 32, the push rod 33, the rocker arm 34 and the translation motor 35, which can adapt to the slicing action and improve the slicing efficiency. The translation motor 35 drives the sliding seat 32 to move on the guide rail 31 through the rocker arm 34 and the push rod 33. This transmission method has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving. Compared with other transmission methods, the crank-connecting rod mechanism can more effectively utilize the power of the motor, reducing energy consumption and transmission loss.

[0027] It can be understood that the reciprocating translation mechanism 3 is not limited to the crank-connecting rod mechanism, and can also adopt a mechanism that can realize linear reciprocating motion, such as a gear rack mechanism, a screw mechanism or a synchronous belt transmission mechanism.

[0028] In this embodiment, the downward pressure lifting mechanism 4 adopts a screw drive mechanism. The screw drive mechanism includes a nut 41, a screw 42, a guide column 43, a synchronous plate 44 and a lifting motor 45. The nut 41 is rotatably mounted on the sliding seat 32, the screw 42 is screwed to the nut 41 and vertically penetrates the sliding seat 32, the guide column 43 is slidably mounted on the sliding seat 32 and arranged parallel to the screw 42, the synchronous plate 44 is fixed to the top of the guide column 43, and the top of the screw 42 is rotatably mounted on the synchronous plate 44. The lifting motor 45 is mounted on the sliding seat 32 and is transmission-connected with the nut 41 to drive the nut 41 to rotate, thereby driving the screw 42 to rise and fall along the nut 41. The adsorption member 5 is mounted on the bottom end of the screw 42 and the guide column 43.

[0029] The screw drive mechanism is matched with a nut 41, a screw 42, a guide post 43, a synchronous plate 44 and a lifting motor 45. Since the screw drive has a self-locking characteristic and a high transmission accuracy, the lifting height of the adsorption member 5 can be accurately controlled, thereby achieving adjustable slice thickness (minimum 0.1 mm). This helps to ensure consistent slice thickness during the cutting process and improves the cutting quality and accuracy of the product. The screw 42 and the guide post 43 in the screw drive mechanism have a high load-bearing capacity and can withstand large extrusion forces and loads. This makes the present invention applicable to pieces to be cut of different sizes and weights, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the downward pressure lifting mechanism 4 includes a pressure sensor 46 installed on the working plane of the frame 1 near the cutting position, so that when the piece to be cut 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) is pressed down and contacts the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor detects that the pressure reaches a specified value and sends a signal to stop pressing down. This design effectively avoids damage to the cutting mechanism or damage to the piece to be cut due to excessive downward pressure, thereby improving the safety of the cutting process. By accurately controlling the downward pressure and position of the piece to be cut, the present invention can ensure the flatness of the cut end surface. The real-time monitoring and feedback of the pressure sensor make the cutting process more accurate and controllable, thereby optimizing the cutting accuracy.

[0031] It can be understood that the downward pressing and lifting mechanism 4 is not limited to adopting a screw drive mechanism, and can also adopt a mechanism such as a gear transmission mechanism that can achieve precise linear reciprocating motion.

[0032] See also Figure 6 In this embodiment, the adsorption member 5 includes an adsorption block 51 and a breathable elastic pad 52. An adsorption cavity is formed in the adsorption block 51, and a suction hole 510 communicating with the adsorption cavity is provided on the lower surface of the adsorption block 51, and an air pipe communicating with the adsorption cavity is connected to the adsorption block 51. The air pipe is externally connected to an exhaust device to provide adsorption power. The breathable elastic pad 52 is installed on the lower surface of the adsorption block 51, and a through hole 520 corresponding to the suction hole 510 is provided on the breathable elastic pad 52. The breathable elastic pad 52 can better fit the surface of the adsorbed object, especially when adsorbing soft and flat objects such as soaked bamboo shoots, it can reduce the air gap, increase the contact area and friction with the surface of the adsorbed object, thereby improving the adsorption force. The softness and cushioning of the breathable elastic pad 52 can reduce the pressure and friction on the surface of the adsorbed object during the adsorption process, thereby avoiding damage or scratches. Since the shape and size of materials such as soaked bamboo shoots may vary to a certain extent, the breathable elastic pad 52 can better adapt to these changes and ensure the stability and reliability of adsorption.

[0033] See also Figure 7In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 2 includes a cutting motor 22 mounted on the frame 1. A cutter disc receiving hole 10 is formed on the working plane of the frame 1. The central axis of the cutter disc 21 is rotatably mounted in the central hole of the cutter disc receiving hole 10 through a bearing. The output shaft of the cutting motor 22 is connected to the central axis of the cutter disc 21 by transmission to drive the cutter disc 21 to rotate. In this embodiment, the output shaft of the cutting motor 22 is connected to the central axis of the cutter disc 21 by belt transmission. In addition, the output shaft of the cutting motor 22 and the central axis of the cutter disc 21 can also be connected by coupling, chain transmission or gear transmission. A lower hopper 11 connected to the cutter disc receiving hole 10 is provided below the cutting position of the frame 1 for the cutting material to fall. The cutting motor 22 directly drives the cutter disc 21 to rotate, reducing the intermediate links of power transmission, thereby improving the cutting efficiency. The high-speed rotation of the cutter disc 21 makes the cutting process faster and effectively shortens the processing cycle. The stable structure of the frame 1 and the precise installation of the cutter disc 21 ensure stability during the cutting process. The arrangement of the lower hopper 11 also facilitates the collection and arrangement of the cut materials, further improving the continuity and stability of the cutting operation.

[0034] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the slicer of the present invention further comprises a sharpening mechanism 6 mounted on the frame 1 for grinding the edge of the knife disc 21, and a cleaning mechanism 7 for cleaning the debris after grinding. The slicer provided by the present invention achieves the following significant beneficial effects by adding the sharpening mechanism 6 and the cleaning mechanism 7: 1. Improving the durability of the cutting tool: The setting of the sharpening mechanism 6 enables the edge of the cutter disc 21 to be continuously sharpened during the cutting process, thereby maintaining the sharpness of the blade and extending the service life of the cutting tool.

[0035] 2. Optimizing cutting quality: After being ground by the grinding mechanism 6, the blade of the cutter disc 21 is sharper, and it can penetrate the material more easily during cutting, thereby reducing cutting resistance and cutting error, and improving the stability and consistency of cutting quality.

[0036] 3. Reduce the generation of cutting debris: The setting of the cleaning mechanism 7 can clean the debris generated after grinding in time, avoiding the influence of debris accumulation on the cutting effect and equipment operation, and also facilitating the maintenance and maintenance of the equipment.

[0037] 4. Enhance the reliability and stability of the equipment: The addition of the sharpening mechanism 6 and the cleaning mechanism 7 makes the overall structure of the slicer more perfect, reduces equipment failures caused by cutting tool wear and debris accumulation, and improves the reliability and stability of the equipment.

[0038] 5. Improve cutting efficiency: Due to the improved durability of the cutting tool and the optimization of cutting quality, the cutting efficiency of the slicer is significantly improved, while also reducing the time cost caused by cutting tool replacement and equipment maintenance.

[0039] In summary, the slicer provided by the present invention achieves improved durability of the cutting tool, optimized cutting quality, reduced cutting debris, enhanced equipment reliability and stability, and improved cutting efficiency by adding a sharpening mechanism 6 and a cleaning mechanism 7, and has significant technical progress and practical application value.

[0040] In this embodiment, the knife sharpening mechanism 6 includes an upper knife sharpening seat 61, an upper grinding roller 62, a lower knife sharpening seat 63 and a lower grinding wheel 64. The upper knife sharpening seat 61 is fixed on the working plane of the frame 1, and the upper grinding roller 62 is rotatably mounted on the upper knife sharpening seat 61. The grinding surface of the upper grinding roller 62 contacts the edge of the upper surface of the cutter disc 21 for grinding during rotation. The lower knife sharpening seat 63 is fixed on the frame 1 and is located below the cutter disc 21. The lower grinding wheel 64 is rotatably mounted on the lower knife sharpening seat 63. The grinding surface of the lower grinding wheel 64 contacts the edge of the lower surface of the cutter disc 21 for grinding during rotation. The knife sharpening mechanism 6 achieves the following significant beneficial effects by designing the coordinated cooperation of the upper knife sharpening seat 61, the upper grinding roller 62, the lower knife sharpening seat 63 and the lower grinding wheel 64: 1. Improve the sharpness and durability of the cutting tool: The upper grinding roller 62 and the lower grinding wheel 64 grind the upper and lower edges of the cutter disc 21 respectively, ensuring the sharpness of the blade during the cutting process and reducing the reduction in cutting quality due to blade wear. At the same time, continuous grinding also extends the service life of the cutting tool and reduces the frequency and cost of replacing the tool.

[0041] 2. Optimizing cutting quality and efficiency: After being ground by the grinding mechanism 6, the blade of the cutter disc 21 is sharper and more uniform, and can penetrate the material more easily during cutting, thereby reducing cutting resistance and cutting time, thereby improving cutting quality and efficiency.

[0042] 3. Ensure the stability and safety of the cutting process: The design of the sharpening mechanism 6 enables the cutter disc 21 to always maintain the best cutting state during the cutting process, avoiding cutting instability or safety hazards caused by blade wear.

[0043] In this embodiment, the upper grinding roller 62 can be elastically raised and lowered and adjusted to be installed on the upper grinding seat 61, and the lower grinding wheel 64 can be elastically raised and lowered and adjusted to be installed on the lower grinding seat 63. The elastic lifting and adjustment design of the upper grinding roller 62 and the lower grinding wheel 64 enables them to automatically adjust the grinding pressure and contact area according to the degree of wear of the cutter disc 21 and the cutting requirements of different materials, thereby ensuring the accuracy and adaptability of grinding. This design not only improves the sharpness of the cutting tool, but also extends the service life of the tool. The elastic lifting design of the upper grinding roller 62 and the lower grinding wheel 64 can avoid excessive pressure or damage to the cutter disc 21 during the grinding process, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of the equipment. In addition, this design also helps to reduce equipment failures and downtime caused by improper grinding.

[0044] In this embodiment, the knife sharpening mechanism 6 further includes an adjusting block 65, a bolt 66 and a spring 67. The adjusting block 65 is slidably mounted on the upper knife sharpening seat 61, the upper grinding roller 62 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting block 65, the bolt 66 is screwed on the upper knife sharpening seat 61 and is located above the adjusting block 65, and the spring 67 is clamped between the adjusting block 65 and the bolt 66. By designing the structure including the adjusting block 65, the bolt 66 and the spring 67 in the knife sharpening mechanism 6, the following significant beneficial effects are achieved: 1. Improve grinding accuracy and flexibility: The adjustment block 65 can be installed on the upper grinding seat 61 in a lifting and sliding manner, so that the upper grinding roller 62 can accurately control the grinding pressure of the upper grinding roller 62 by adjusting the height of the adjustment block 65 by rotating the bolt 66 according to the wear degree of the cutter disc 21 and the cutting requirements of different materials. This design not only improves the grinding accuracy, but also enhances the flexibility of the equipment, making it applicable to a variety of cutting scenarios.

[0045] 2. Optimize cutting quality and efficiency: Due to the improvement of grinding accuracy, the cutter disc 21 can maintain the best cutting state during the cutting process, reducing cutting resistance and cutting time, thereby improving cutting quality and efficiency.

[0046] 3. Simplified maintenance and servicing process: Traditional cutting tools require manual adjustment of the grinding pressure during grinding, while the design of the adjustment block 65, bolt 66 and spring 67 in the present invention realizes convenient adjustment and stable support, simplifying the maintenance and servicing process of the equipment.

[0047] 4. Improve the applicability and economy of the equipment: By adjusting the height of the adjustment block 65 and the elastic force of the spring 67, the cutting requirements of materials of different materials and thicknesses can be optimized. This design not only improves the applicability of the equipment, but also reduces the cost caused by replacing different cutting tools, thereby improving the economy of the equipment.

[0048] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 7 includes a connecting seat 71, an upper cleaning roller 72, a bearing seat 73 and a lower cleaning wheel 74. The connecting seat 71 is fixed on the working plane of the frame 1, and the upper cleaning roller 72 is rotatably mounted on the connecting seat 71. The upper cleaning roller 72 contacts the upper surface edge of the cutter disc 21 for cleaning during rotation. The bearing seat 73 is fixed on the frame 1 and is located below the cutter disc 21. The lower cleaning wheel 74 is rotatably mounted on the bearing seat 73. The lower cleaning wheel 74 contacts the lower surface edge of the cutter disc 21 for cleaning during rotation. The upper cleaning roller 72 and the lower cleaning wheel 74 can be made of a brush body or a cleaning cloth. The upper cleaning roller 72 and the lower cleaning wheel 74 contact the upper surface edge and the lower surface edge of the cutter disc 21 respectively, and can effectively clean up the debris and residue attached to the blade during rotation, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the cutting tool. The timely cleaning action of the cleaning mechanism 7 prevents debris and residue from accumulating during the cutting process and having a negative impact on the cutting quality.

[0049] In this embodiment, the upper cleaning roller 72 can be elastically lifted and adjusted and installed on the connecting seat 71, and the lower cleaning wheel 74 can be elastically lifted and adjusted and installed on the bearing seat 73. The elastic lifting and adjustment design of the upper cleaning roller 72 and the lower cleaning wheel 74 enables them to automatically adjust the cleaning pressure and contact area according to the degree of wear of the cutter disc 21 and the cutting requirements of different materials, thereby ensuring the thoroughness and adaptability of the cleaning. This design not only improves the cleaning effect, but also enhances the flexibility of the equipment, making it suitable for a variety of cutting scenarios. The timely cleaning action of the cleaning mechanism 7 avoids the accumulation of debris and residues during the cutting process and has a negative impact on the cutting tool. Through elastic lifting and adjustment, the cleaning roller and the cleaning wheel can more effectively remove the debris attached to the blade, maintain the cleanliness of the cutting tool, thereby extending the service life of the tool and reducing the frequency and cost of replacing the tool. By adjusting the elastic lifting height and cleaning pressure of the cleaning roller and the cleaning wheel, the cutting requirements of materials of different materials and thicknesses can be optimized. This design not only improves the flexibility of the equipment, but also enables the slicer to be more widely used in various cutting scenarios, improving the applicability of the equipment.

[0050] See also Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 7 further includes an air guide cover 75, a fan blade 76 and a collection container 77. The air guide cover 75 is enclosed in the cutter disc receiving hole 10, and the lower grinding wheel 64 and the lower cleaning wheel 74 are both located in the air guide cover 75. The fan blade 76 is fixed to the lower surface of the cutter disc 21 and is accommodated in the air guide cover 75. The collection container 77 is detachably mounted on the frame 1 and is located at the air outlet of the air guide cover 75, so that the wind force generated by the rotation of the fan blade 76 can blow the debris and residue into the collection container 77. Figure 7The middle arrow indicates the blowing direction. The wind guide cover 75 is enclosed in the cutter disc receiving hole 10, which effectively guides the debris and residues generated by the lower grinding wheel 64 and the lower cleaning wheel 74 into the wind guide cover 75. The fan blade 76 is fixed to the lower surface of the cutter disc 21 and is contained in the wind guide cover 75. As the cutter disc rotates, the fan blade 76 generates wind force to blow the debris and residues into the collection container 77. This design not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures the thoroughness of the cleaning, avoiding the accumulation of debris and residues in the cutting area. The fan blade 76 is driven to rotate by the cutter disc 21, which can not only blow away the debris and residues, but also dissipate the heat generated by the cutting of the cutter disc 21, reduce the wear of the cutter disc 21, and increase its service life.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the cutting mechanism 2 further comprises a fixed seat 23, a fixed disk 24 and a fixed shaft 25, the fixed seat 23 is fixed to the frame 1, the cutter disc 21 adopts a conical knife, the upper surface of the conical knife forms a recessed space 210, the fixed disk 24 is arranged at intervals with the cutter disc 21 and is located in the recessed space 210, and the upper surface of the fixed disk 24 is lower than the peripheral blade ring of the cutter disc 21. The central axis of the cutter disc 21 is a hollow shaft, which can be rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 25, and the two ends of the fixed shaft 25 penetrate the hollow shaft and are respectively connected to the fixed seat 23 and the fixed disk 24. The conical knife enhances its structural strength. The upper surface of the fixed disk 24 is lower than the peripheral blade ring of the cutter disc 21, so that the contact area and contact time between the piece to be cut 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) and the conical knife can be reduced, and the friction heat generation and burning of the piece to be cut 100 (soaked bamboo shoots) can be reduced.
