Description

Technical Field

[0003] In order to improve the efficiency of potato cutting and dividing, the existing technology (Chinese invention patent application publication number CN117598061A) discloses a rotary potato precision cutting machine, which cuts potatoes into pieces by setting blades and cutting and pressing components.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] (1) This solution sets up a hydraulic cylinder and a cutting blade to push the potato to move and cut the potato into two halves through the cutting blade. Then, the camera is used to identify the buds on the two halves of the potato, and the three-axis mobile platform is controlled to drive the block cutting part to move. The block cutting part uses the cutting blade to cut the potato area containing buds, so that the cut seed blocks contain buds, avoiding the situation where seed blocks without buds cannot germinate, improving the potato germination rate, ensuring that each seed block can grow into a plant, and the field plots will be fully utilized to avoid the problem of empty land caused by no germination.

[0020] (2) This solution sets up a resistance-reducing cutting component, and drives the cam to rotate through motor 2, so that the movable plate reciprocates up and down inside the base, thereby driving the segmenting blade to reciprocate up and down, reducing the friction between the segmenting blade and the potato surface, making the cutting process smoother, cutting the potato fiber more effectively, reducing the cutting resistance, and reducing the possibility of the segmenting blade getting stuck in the potato. When the segmenting blade moves up and down, it is easier to maintain the integrity of the potato fiber during the cutting process, avoiding excessive pulling or tearing. The blade will not apply too much pressure, reducing the possibility of potato breakage, especially when cutting softer or uneven potatoes, it can reduce the damage caused by excessive pressure, thereby improving the cutting accuracy. The up and down vibration action will make it easier for the potato to fall off the blade surface, avoiding potato adhesion and keeping the cutting surface clean.

[0021] (3) This solution sets up a disinfection and cleaning component, and sprays disinfectant on the outer surface of the cutting blade through the nozzle, which can help wash away the potato residues attached to the blade, reduce the impact of excessive potato residues on the blade on the cutting efficiency, enable the blade to cut more smoothly, and reduce the wear of the blade, thereby extending its service life. The disinfectant can also play a lubricating role, reducing the friction resistance of the blade when cutting potatoes, and can also immediately disinfect the exposed cut surface, preventing bacteria or other contaminants from invading the surface of the potato blocks during the cutting process, and preventing the blade from causing cross-contamination due to contact with multiple potatoes. The surface of the cut potato seed block is the part that is susceptible to contamination and infection by pathogens. Spraying disinfectant can directly form a protective layer on the surface after cutting, inhibiting the growth of pathogens, thereby extending the storage time of the potato seed blocks and reducing the risk of rot.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 9 A potato planting block cutting device includes a housing 1 and a limiting portion 2 connected to the interior of the housing 1.

[0036] The segmented cutting portion 67 includes a mounting plate 671 fixedly connected to one side of the Z-axis moving end, two transverse plates 672 symmetrically connected to one side of the mounting plate 671, a seat body 673 rotatably connected between the two transverse plates 672, a blade chuck 678 connected to the lower end of the seat body 673, a segmented blade 674 clamped by the blade chuck 678, and a driving portion connected to one of the transverse plates 672 and used to drive the seat body 673 to rotate.

[0037] The drive unit includes a motor 1 (675) fixed to the lower end of one of the horizontal plates 672, two synchronous pulleys 676 rotatably connected to the upper end of one of the horizontal plates 672, and a synchronous belt 677 connecting the two synchronous pulleys 676. The upper end of the base 1 (673) is fixed to one of the synchronous pulleys 676, and the lower end of the blade clamp 678 extends downward through the other horizontal plate 672. The upper end of the bracket 3 (62) is fixed to a vertical plate 622, and a plurality of symmetrical exhaust holes 623 are formed on both sides of the vertical plate 622 for blowing air into the potatoes after they have been sliced.

[0038] The bracket three 62 is movably connected to the plate body two 624 inside, and a plurality of holes 625 are opened inside the plate body two 624. The lower end of the plate body two 624 is opened with an interface 626 connected to the hole 625. The lower end of the bracket three 62 is connected to a lifting component 65 for driving the plate body two 624 to rise and fall, and the lifting component 65 includes a bracket four 651 fixedly connected to the lower end of the bracket three 62 and a cylinder three 652 fixedly connected to the lower end of the bracket four 651. The telescopic end of the cylinder three 652 passes through the bracket four 651 and is fixedly connected to the lower end of the plate body two 624.

[0039] The limiting part 2 includes two screw rods 22 symmetrically screwed on both sides of the shell 1, two limiting plates 21 rotatably connected to one end of the two screw rods 22, and two groups of guide rods 23 fixed to one side of the two limiting plates 21. The hydraulic cylinder 11 and the pusher seat 12 are both located between the two limiting plates 21. The other ends of the two groups of guide rods 23 pass through the shell 1 and extend outward.

[0040] The upper end of the shell 1 is connected to a single-axis mobile platform 3, and the mobile end of the single-axis mobile platform 3 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 2 4. The telescopic end of the cylinder 2 4 passes through the mobile end and is fixedly connected to the cutter 5. The lower end of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to a bracket 16, and the lower end of the bracket 16 is fixedly connected to a cylinder 17. The telescopic end of the cylinder 17 passes through the bracket 16 and is fixedly connected to a plate 15. The lower end of the shell 1 is provided with a groove body for accommodating the movement of the plate 15.

[0041] By adopting the above technical solution, potatoes are placed in the shell 1, and the potatoes are between the two limit plates 21. The position of the limit plates 21 can be adjusted by the screw rod 22. The two limit plates 21 can limit the potatoes to prevent the potatoes from being offset when the hydraulic cylinder 11 works to push the potatoes to move through the pushing seat 12. The pushing seat 12 pushes the potatoes into the discharge trough 13. Before the potatoes completely enter the discharge trough 13, the single-axis mobile platform 3 is controlled to work, and the moving end of the single-axis mobile platform 3 moves to drive the cutter 5 to move to the tail end of the potato. At the top (the end in contact with the pusher 12), the cylinder 2 4 extends to drive the cutter 5 to descend and cut the potato tail end into pieces. After cutting, the hydraulic cylinder 11 contracts to separate the pusher 12 from the potato, and the cut potato pieces fall on the plate 15. The cylinder 17 contracts to drive the plate 15 to descend and move out of the shell 1. The potato pieces are manually removed, and then the hydraulic cylinder 11 extends again to drive the pusher 12 to move so that the pusher 12 contacts the cut surface of the potato tail end. Since the cut surface is a plane, the push force applied by the pusher 12 to the potato The force will be more uniform, and the potato will be pushed completely into the discharge trough 13 and cut into two halves by the cutting blade 14. When the potato cut into two halves is discharged from the discharge trough 13, the exhaust hole 623 blows out compressed gas, and the gas blows on the bottom of the cut surface of the potato, blowing the potato to rotate and making the cut surface of the potato contact with the upper surface of the plate body 2 624. The interface 626 is connected to the negative pressure device. The negative pressure device generates negative pressure inside the hole body 625 and adsorbs the cut surface of the potato. Then, the outer surface of the potato is photographed by the camera 64 on the inner wall of the baffle 621 and in the stand 63. Image processing technology is used (using the camera 64 to take a high-resolution image of the potato, converting the color image into a grayscale image, simplifying subsequent processing, and using a filter (such as a Gaussian filter or a median filter) to remove noise in the image and reduce the possibility of misidentification. If the color difference between the eye area and the potato skin is small, the contrast can be enhanced by techniques such as histogram equalization to highlight the eye area, and an edge detection algorithm (such as Canny edge detection) is used to identify possible eye contours in the image.The eye is usually concave in shape, and these areas can be preliminarily identified by detecting changes in shape. Potato eyes are usually irregular circular or elliptical depressions. Morphological operations (such as dilation, erosion, opening, etc.) can be used to further enhance the identification of these areas. Applying contour detection algorithms, such as OpenCV's findContours function, can help extract the outer contour of the eye, perform shape feature analysis on the detected possible areas, and extract relevant feature parameters, such as area, perimeter, and depression depth. The eye is usually darker than other parts of the potato surface. Color analysis can be combined to further determine the eye area through color differences on different channels. The identified eye area is marked to generate visualization results and cutting routes. Image processing algorithm technology is a mature existing technology and will not be repeated here. The above image processing technology can identify eye and non-eye areas to identify the position of potato eyes, and then pass the recognition results to the processor. The processor controls the three-axis mobile platform 66 to move according to the cutting route. The three-axis mobile platform 66 controls the Z axis The moving end descends and drives the segmenting blade 674 downward, so that the segmenting blade 674 is inserted into the potato. At the same time, the three-axis moving platform 66 can also drive the segmenting blade 674 to perform XY axial movement to cut the potato into pieces. At the same time, the motor 1 675 works to drive one of the synchronous wheels 676 to rotate. The synchronous wheel 676 rotates and drives another synchronous wheel 676 to rotate through the synchronous belt 677. The rotation of the other synchronous wheel 676 drives the base 1 673 and the segmenting blade 674 to rotate, making it convenient for the segmenting blade 674 to cut the potato into pieces along the cutting route. The over-blocking blade 674 cuts the potato area containing buds, so that the cut seed blocks contain buds, avoiding the situation where seed blocks without buds cannot germinate, improving the potato germination rate, ensuring that each seed block can grow into a plant, and the field plots will be fully utilized to avoid the problem of empty land caused by no germination. After the cutting is completed, the cylinder three 652 works and contracts to drive the plate two 624 to descend, so that the cut potato middle blocks on the plate two 624 are removed from the baffle 621 and the bracket three 62, and the potato middle blocks are manually taken away for the next step of processing.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the seat body 673 is connected to a resistance reduction cutting assembly 68, and the resistance reduction cutting assembly 68 includes a movable groove provided in the seat body 673, a movable plate 682 movably connected in the movable groove, two guide pillars 683 fixed to the inner wall of the movable groove, two springs 684 sleeved on the outside of the two guide pillars 683, two flanges symmetrically fixed on both sides of the movable plate 682, a slot 687 provided in the movable plate 682, and a cam 686 located in the slot 687 and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the movable groove at both ends. The outer surface of the seat body 673 is fixed to the motor 2 681, and the output shaft of the motor 2 681 passes through the seat body 673 and is fixed to one end of the cam 686. The two guide pillars 683 are movably inserted in the movable plate 682, and the two ends of the spring 684 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the movable groove and the upper end of the movable plate 682. The upper end of the blade clamp 678 is fixed to the lower end of the movable plate 682.

[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 2 681 can drive the cam 686 to rotate. When the cam 686 rotates, the protrusion of the cam 686 contacts the lower end of the flange 685, and the cam 686 can push the flange 685 and the movable plate 682 to move upward. At this time, the spring 684 contracts. When the protrusion of the cam 686 separates from the flange 685, the spring 684 pushes the movable plate 682 to move downward. The up and down movement of the movable plate 682 can drive the blade clamp 678 and the segmenting blade 674 to move up and down, reducing the friction between the segmenting blade 674 and the potato surface, making the cutting process smoother. , more effectively cuts potato fibers, reduces cutting resistance, and reduces the possibility of the segmenting blade 674 getting stuck to the potato. When the segmenting blade 674 moves up and down, it is easier to maintain the integrity of the potato fibers during the cutting process, avoiding excessive pulling or tearing. The segmenting blade 674 will not apply too much pressure, reducing the possibility of potato breakage, especially when cutting softer or uneven potatoes, which can reduce the damage caused by excessive pressure, thereby improving the cutting accuracy, and the up and down vibration action will make it easier for the potatoes to fall off the surface of the segmenting blade 674, avoiding potato adhesion and keeping the cutting surface clean.

[0044] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, a disinfection and cleaning component 69 is connected to one of the horizontal plates 672, and the disinfection and cleaning component 69 includes two nozzles 691 symmetrically connected to both sides of the horizontal plate 672, two transmission rods 692 fixed to one side of the two nozzles 691, a sprocket 1 694 fixed to the outer surface of one of the transmission rods 692, a gear 2 698 fixed to one end of the other transmission rod 692, a gear 1 697 rotatably connected to the inside of the horizontal plate 672 and meshing with the gear 2 698, a sprocket 2 696 fixed to one side of the gear 1 697, and a chain belt 695 connecting the sprocket 2 696 and the sprocket 1 694. A motor 3 693 is fixed to one side of the horizontal plate 672, and the output shaft of the motor 3 693 is fixed to one end of one of the transmission rods 692.

[0045] By adopting the above technical solution, the nozzle 691 is connected to the liquid supply pipe in actual use, and the pump body pumps the disinfectant into the nozzle 691 through the liquid supply pipe. The motor 3 693 works to drive one of the transmission rods 692 and one of the nozzles 691 to rotate. When the transmission rod 692 rotates, it can drive the sprocket 1 694 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 1 694 drives the sprocket 2 696 and the gear 1 697 to rotate through the chain belt 695. The rotation of the gear 1 697 drives the gear 2 698 and another transmission rod 692 to rotate. The rotation of the other transmission rod 692 drives the other nozzle 691 to rotate, so that the two nozzles 691 can rotate synchronously. The rotation of the two nozzles 691 can adjust the position of the disinfectant sprayed on the two side walls of the segmenting blade 674. Spraying the disinfectant on both sides of the segmenting blade 674 can help rinse off the disinfectant attached to the segmenting blade 674. The potato residues on the chunking blade 674 are reduced, and the cutting efficiency of the chunking blade 674 is affected by excessive potato residues adhering to the chunking blade 674, so that the chunking blade 674 can cut more smoothly, and the wear of the chunking blade 674 can be reduced, thereby extending its service life. The disinfectant can also play a lubricating role, reducing the friction resistance of the chunking blade 674 when cutting potatoes, and can also immediately disinfect the exposed cut surface to prevent bacteria or other contaminants from invading the surface of the potato chunks during the cutting process, and prevent the chunking blade 674 from causing cross-contamination due to contact with multiple potatoes. The surface of the cut potato seed block is the part that is susceptible to contamination and infection by pathogens. Spraying the disinfectant can form a protective layer directly on the surface after cutting, inhibiting the growth of pathogens, thereby extending the storage time of the potato seed blocks and reducing the risk of rot.

[0046] like Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a grinding assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle 621, and the grinding assembly 7 includes a seat body 2 71 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle 621, two shells 2 72 symmetrically connected to one side of the seat body 2 71, a motor 5 fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 2 72, and a grinding sheet 73 rotatably connected to one side of the shell 2 72 and fixed to the output shaft of the motor 5.

[0047] The upper end of the seat body 2 71 is fixedly connected to a motor 4 74, and the output shaft of the motor 4 74 passes through the interior of the seat body 2 71 and is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 1 75. The interior of the seat body 2 71 is also symmetrically connected to two bevel gears 3 78, and one side of the bevel gear 3 78 is fixedly connected to a brush rod 79, one end of the brush rod 79 extends outward through the seat body 2 71, and the outer surface of the extended end of the brush rod 79 is fixedly connected to bristles. The interior of the seat body 2 71 is symmetrically connected to two rotating rods 76, and both ends of a single rotating rod 76 are fixedly connected to a bevel gear 2 77, and the two bevel gears 2 77 at both ends of the rotating rod 76 are respectively connected to the bevel gear 1 75 and the bevel gear 3 78 for transmission.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the three-axis moving platform 66 is controlled to drive the segmenting blade 674 to move, and the segmenting blade 674 is moved between the two grinding plates 73. Then, the Z-axis moving end drives the segmenting blade 674 to move downward. At the same time, the motor 5 drives the two grinding plates 73 to rotate. The two grinding plates 73 grind the cutting edge of the segmenting blade 674 that is worn and blunted by the particles adhering to the outer surface of the potato during the cutting process, so as to maintain the sharpness of the segmenting blade 674 and ensure that each cut can be completed quickly and cleanly, thereby improving the cutting efficiency, extending the overall service life of the segmenting blade 674, reducing the replacement frequency, saving costs, and avoiding cutting caused by blunt edges. The rough surface affects the cutting quality, and ensuring clean and sharp cutting lines is especially important in scenarios requiring high-precision cutting. This helps maintain the accuracy of each cut. At the same time, the grinding disc 73 can not only trim the cutting edge of the segmented blade 674, but also help clean up impurities or residues attached to the cutting edge surface. The motor 4 74 drives the bevel gear 1 75 to rotate, and the rotation of the bevel gear 1 75 drives the bevel gear 2 77 and the two rotating rods 76 to rotate. The rotation of the bevel gear 2 77 at the other end of the two rotating rods 76 drives the bevel gear 3 78 and the brush rod 79 to rotate. The rotation of the brush rod 79 drives the bristles to rotate and help clean up impurities or residues attached to the surface of the segmented blade 674. Keeping the segmented blade 674 clean not only helps the cutting performance of the blade, but also prevents corrosion or performance degradation due to the accumulation of impurities on the blade surface.

[0049] Instructions for use: Place potatoes between the two limiting plates 21 in the shell 1, and the pusher 12 pushes the potatoes into the discharge trough 13, and the potatoes are cut into two halves by the cutting blade 14. When the potatoes cut into two halves are discharged from the discharge trough 13, the exhaust hole 623 blows out compressed gas, and the gas blows on the bottom of the cut surface of the potato, blowing the potato to rotate and making the cut surface of the potato contact with the upper surface of the plate 2 624. The interface 626 is connected to the negative pressure device. The negative pressure device generates negative pressure inside the hole 625 and adsorbs the cut surface of the potato. The outer surface of the potato is photographed by the camera 64 on the inner wall of the baffle 621 and the stand 63, and the image processing technology is used to identify the position of the potato eye, and then the identification result is transmitted to the processor. The processor controls the three-axis moving platform 66 to move according to the cutting route. The three-axis mobile platform 66 controls the Z-axis moving end to descend, driving the segmenting blade 674 to descend, so that the segmenting blade 674 is inserted into the potato. At the same time, the three-axis mobile platform 66 can also drive the segmenting blade 674 to perform XY axial movement to cut the potato into pieces. The motor 1 675 can drive the seat 1 673 and the segmenting blade 674 to rotate, and adjust the cutting direction of the segmenting blade 674 to facilitate the segmenting blade 674 to cut the potato into pieces along the cutting route. The resistance reduction cutting component 68 can make the segmenting blade 674 reciprocate up and down, reducing the friction between the segmenting blade 674 and the potato surface. The disinfection and cleaning component 69 can spray disinfectant on both sides of the segmenting blade 674 to help wash away potato residues attached to the segmenting blade 674 and immediately disinfect the exposed cut surface.
