The existing slitting machine can only complete the slitting work of hard vegetables such as radish, and the slitting effect of the machine on hard vegetables is relatively good. However, the slitting effect of the slitting machine on soft and brittle vegetables such as sprouts is not ideal, and the following defects often occur:

[0003] 1. Since the entry of sprouts is not orderly managed, the posture of sprouts is not uniform, and the cutting is not performed from the length direction of sprouts, so that the maximum length cannot be achieved, which does not meet the industrial requirements. The industry requires cutting from the length direction, the longer the better, so that the dehydration speed is uniform and the flavor is consistent in the later stage;
