DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses an automatic feeding system for a slicing device.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The automatic feeding system of the slicing device includes a reciprocating mechanism 2, a movable table 3 and a pressing mechanism 6, and the present application also includes a human-computer interaction module 4 and a controller 5.

[0046] Among them, the upper surface of the base 1 of the slicing device is detachably connected with a slide seat 11, a cutter seat 12 and a chopping board 13 by bolts. The slide seat 11 is a long plate structure, and the chopping board 13 and the cutter seat 12 are respectively located on the same side of the two ends of the slide seat 11, and the cutter seat 12 and the chopping board 13 are vertically connected to the base 1 and are parallel to the length direction of the slide seat 11. The chopping board 13 and the cutter seat 12 are adjacent, that is, the cutter seat 12 is closer to the slide seat 11, and the chopping board 13 is far away from the slide seat 11. The chopping board 13 is provided with an arc-shaped discharge port for the slices to slide down. The base 1 is also provided with a material receiving area on the side of the chopping board 13. After the slices are cut, they slide along the discharge port to the material receiving area.

[0047] The cutter seat 12 is oval in shape when viewed from the front. A blade slot is provided on the side wall of the cutter seat 12 facing the slide seat 11. One section of the blade slot is open. A blade 121 is rotatably connected in the blade slot. The edge of the blade 121 extends out of the cutter seat 12 for slicing food. A motor 122 is provided in the cutter seat 12. The cutter seat 12 may be provided with an empty slot for installing the power supply 122. The motor 122 is fixed in the empty slot by bolts. The output end of the motor 122 is fixed by a coupling and the axis of the blade 121, so that a hidden installation can be achieved.

[0048] The interior of the slide seat 11 is hollow and a slide groove opening is opened along the length direction on the side wall away from the cutter seat 12. The slide groove opening is for the sliding part of the reciprocating mechanism 2 to slide. The slide groove opening is arranged along the length direction of the slide seat 11. The reciprocating mechanism 2 is located inside the slide seat 11, and the sliding part of the reciprocating mechanism 2 passes through the slide groove opening and extends out of the slide seat 11; the movable platform 3 is located above the slide seat 11, and the sliding part of the reciprocating mechanism 2 is connected to the end of the movable platform 3, which can drive the movable platform 3 to slide back and forth along the length direction of the slide seat 11.

[0049] The movable table 3 may be rectangular in top view, one end of which is connected to the sliding part of the reciprocating mechanism 2, and the other end of which first extends upward and then extends horizontally toward the direction of the cutter seat 12, so that one section of the movable table 3 is located above the slide seat 11, forming a platform for placing food. A pressing mechanism 6 for pushing food and pressing against the chopping board 13 is slidably connected to the movable table 3, and the pressing direction of the pressing mechanism 6 is perpendicular to the chopping board 13. It should be noted that the pressure of the pressing mechanism 6 should not be too large, which may easily crush the food, and may also increase the resistance of the reciprocating mechanism 2 when driving the movable table 3 to move, thereby causing inconvenience.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The human-machine interaction module 4 is used to display and confirm the working information and is embedded in the side wall of the cutting board 13 away from the holding mechanism 6. The human-machine interaction module 4 can be a touch display or a display with corresponding control buttons, so as to facilitate the user to manually confirm or adjust the working information of the device. An air pump 14 for driving the reciprocating mechanism 2 and the holding mechanism 6 is installed in the base 1. The air pump 14 can be a miniature vacuum pump, including an air extraction end and an air outlet end, and is connected to the air inlet end or pipeline system of the reciprocating mechanism 2 and the holding mechanism 6 through a multi-way pipe and a plurality of branched pipes, and electric control valves are installed on the branched pipes.

[0051] The reciprocating mechanism 2, the human-machine interaction module 4, the motor 122, the air pump 14 and the pressing mechanism 6 are electrically connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 is configured as follows:

[0052] 1-1), if a feedback signal is received when the user triggers the human-computer interaction module 4, the human-computer interaction module 4 is controlled to display the preset food type options; the user triggering the human-computer interaction module 4 can be that the user has properly placed the food on the movable table 3, and turned on the main switch of the slicing device, and then clicked the touch screen display or pressed the control button on the display to confirm the start of the slicing work.

[0053] 1-2) If the food type data selected by the user is received, the preset database is searched according to the duration type data to obtain the matching pressure parameters, and the pressing mechanism 6 is controlled to perform the pressing action according to the pressure parameters; wherein, the pressure that different types of food can withstand can be pre-set in the database corresponding to the controller before leaving the factory, and retrieved when used. The pre-set database stores the propulsion pressure and maximum pressure that multiple types of food can withstand, which can be obtained by the staff based on multiple experiments and uploaded to the database.

[0054] 1-3), if the feedback signal from the pressing mechanism 6 after the pressing mechanism 6 completes the pressing action is received, the reciprocating mechanism 2 is controlled to move, and the motor 122 is controlled to respond. The response of the motor 122 is that the motor 122 starts and drives the blade 121 to rotate, and the action of the reciprocating mechanism 2 is that the reciprocating mechanism 2 moves back and forth along the slide slot, driving the movable table 3 to move back and forth.

[0055] It is worth noting that since the air pump 14 is required to drive the control of the holding mechanism 6 and the reciprocating mechanism 2, the air pump 14 should also be electrically connected to the controller 5, so that the air pump 14 can be controlled to perform air pumping when the reciprocating mechanism 2 and the holding mechanism 6 need to be controlled.

[0056] The controller 5 controls the air pump 14 and the electric control valve on the pipeline connected to the reciprocating mechanism 2 and the holding mechanism and the air pump 14, thereby controlling the operation of the holding mechanism 6 and the reciprocating mechanism 2, and controlling the motor 122 to turn on, thereby executing the rotation of the blade 121 to slice the food.

[0057] Through the above arrangement, the user places the food on the movable table 3. After selecting the food through the human-computer interaction module 4, the pressing mechanism 6 can automatically press the food to fix it. Afterwards, the reciprocating mechanism 2 can drive the movable table 3 to move back and forth. During the process, the blade 121 cuts the food, and the pressing mechanism 6 presses against the food. Each time the food is sliced, the pressing mechanism 6 can automatically move forward a corresponding distance. The above process does not require the user to manually press against the food and move the food back and forth for slicing, making the device feeding more convenient, and the user's hands no longer need to be close to the blade 121, reducing the danger when using the device for slicing.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The chopping board 13 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 7 for adjusting the slice thickness. The adjustment mechanism 7 adjusts the thickness of the food cut by the blade 121 by adjusting the distance between the chopping board 13 and the slide seat 11. Since the cutter seat 12 is stationary and the food is pressed against the chopping board 13, the distance between the chopping board 13 and the slide seat 11 is adjusted, that is, the vertical distance between the chopping board 13 and the cutter seat 12 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the thickness of the cut food.

[0059] The adjustment mechanism 7 includes a gas storage box 71, a telescopic rod 72 and a piston block 74. The gas storage box 71 is located inside the base 1 and can be fixed inside the base 1 by bolts. The telescopic rod 72 penetrates one side wall of the gas storage box 71 horizontally through an inlet and outlet hole pre-opened on the side wall of the gas storage box 71 and is slidably connected. One end of the telescopic rod 72 extending into the gas storage box 71 fixes the piston block 74, and the side wall of the piston block 74 contacts the inner wall of the gas storage box 71; the outer end of the telescopic rod 72 is used to drive the chopping board 13; and a pumping hole 73 is opened on the other side wall of the gas storage box 71 opposite to the inlet and outlet hole.

[0060] The outlet and suction ends of the air pump 14 are respectively equipped with electric three-way valves. The pumping hole 73 of the air storage box 71 is connected to two pipelines through a three-way pipe, and the other ends of the two pipelines are respectively connected to one port of the electric three-way valve at the outlet and suction ends of the air pump 14. The ports of the three-way valve connecting the pipelines are also used to connect to the restoring mechanism 2 and the holding mechanism 6. Electric control valves are respectively installed on the two pipelines, and the electric control valves and the electric three-way valves are respectively electrically connected to the controller 5.

[0061] When the telescopic rod 72 needs to be moved out of the air storage box 71, the electric control valve on the pipeline connected to the air extraction end of the air pump 14 is closed, and the electric control valve on the other pipeline is opened.

[0062] When the telescopic rod 72 needs to be moved into the air storage box 71, the external valve port of the electric three-way valve connected to the air pump 14 is closed.

[0063] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, when the device is started for slicing, the adjustment mechanism 7 can be controlled first to adjust the thickness of the slice, wherein the opening or closing of the electric control valve and the inflation or exhaust of the air pump 14 can be controlled to change the amount of gas in the gas storage box 71, thereby controlling the length of the telescopic rod 72 extending from the gas storage box 71, that is, the distance between the cutting board 13 and the slide slot seat 11, thereby changing the thickness of the slice.

[0064] Among them, the electric control valve includes electromagnetic valve 1, electromagnetic valve 2 and electromagnetic valve 3, electromagnetic valve 1 is installed in the pipeline connecting the air pump 14 and the reciprocating mechanism 2, electromagnetic valve 2 is installed in the pipeline connecting the air pump 14 and the holding mechanism 6, and electromagnetic valve 3 is installed in the pipeline connecting the air pump 14 and the gas storage box 71. The electromagnetic valve 1, electromagnetic valve 2 and electromagnetic valve 3 are respectively installed in different pipelines, which is more convenient for controlling whether the gas in the pipeline is flowing. For example: if it is necessary to control the regulating mechanism 7, the electromagnetic valve 3 can be controlled to open, wherein the electromagnetic valve 3 is controlled to open, that is, the pipeline connecting the air pump 14 and the gas storage box 71 is controlled to be ventilated, and the electromagnetic valve 1 and the electromagnetic valve 2 are controlled to be closed, so that the gas sent by the air pump 14 will not flow into other pipelines and mechanisms.

[0065] The regulating mechanism 7 is electrically connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 is configured as follows:

[0066] 2-1) If a signal is fed back when the type of food selected by the user is received, the database is searched to obtain a plurality of matching slice thicknesses, and the human-computer interaction module 4 is controlled to display the preset slice thickness option; regarding displaying the preset slice thickness option, the preset food type can pop up after the device is turned on, and the device can be turned on by turning on the power supply, or by being provided with a switch button, and turning on the power supply and pressing the button. Since the human-computer interaction module 4 explained above can be a touch screen display or a display equipped with control buttons, the user can observe the preset food type options through the display, and the options can be in the form of text plus drawings. The user can confirm the type of food to be sliced ​​by clicking the options on the display or the control buttons to select the options, and the slice thickness options can also pop up in the form of text plus drawings.

[0067] 2-2) If the slice thickness confirmed by the user is received from the human-computer interaction module 4, the adjustment parameters of the adjustment mechanism 7 are analyzed and calculated according to the slice thickness confirmed by the user, and the action of the adjustment mechanism 7 is controlled based on the adjustment parameters.

[0068] The adjustment parameter can be the total length of the distance adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 7 or the total adjustment time, such as: calculating the air outlet time according to the slice thickness analysis, and controlling the air pump 14 to adjust the distance from the cutting board 13. If the adjustment mechanism 7 is reset after each use, since the output rate of the air pump 14 is basically unchanged, the length of the adjustment distance can be determined according to the length of time. Example: When the piston block 74 at the end of the telescopic rod 72 abuts against the side wall of the pumping hole 73, the slice thickness is 0.1 cm, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the air storage box 71 is 5 cm 2 If you need a slice with a thickness of 0.5 cm, you need to enter 5 cm 2 ×(0.5-0.1), i.e. 2cm 3 If the output rate of the gas pump 14 is 1cm 3 / s, then the adjustment time can be 2s.

[0069] According to the above settings, the adjustment mechanism 7 and the air pump 14 are connected, and the controller 5 controls the air pump 14 to control the adjustment amount of the adjustment mechanism 7, that is, to adjust the slice thickness. The type of food and the thickness of the food are displayed on the display in the form of visual images and text notes, and the user can easily and conveniently select the type of food and thickness he wants according to the pictures and text, so that slicing is more convenient and can meet more thickness requirements.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A weighing sensor 16 is embedded in the material receiving area arranged on the base 1, and the sensing end of the weighing sensor 16 faces upward. The controller 5 is configured as follows:

[0071] 3-1) Based on the food type confirmed by the user, search the preset database to determine the density data corresponding to the type; wherein the density of different food materials can be retrieved in advance by the staff before the device leaves the factory and then entered into the database.

[0072] 3-2) Obtain the cross-sectional area of ​​the slice of the food; the cross-sectional area can be obtained by analysis and calculation, which will be explained in detail in the following text.

[0073] 3-3) Analyze and estimate the weight M1 of the food slices based on the slice thickness, cross-sectional area and density of the food. If the slice thickness is 1, the cross-sectional area is 5, and ρ is 1, the formula M=ρV, M=5 can be used, that is, M1 is 5.

[0074] 3-4) Obtain the weight M2 transmitted back by the weighing sensor 16;

[0075] 3-5) Compare M1 and M2 and calculate the difference. If the difference exceeds the preset error range, execute the preset adjustment mechanism 7 correction process.

[0076] Assuming that the error range is within 5, 5 is a negligible difference estimated by the staff based on the density of different ingredients. If the absolute value after subtracting M1 from M2 is greater than or equal to 5, for example, M1 is 5 and M2 is 10, the weight difference is too large and the slice thickness needs to be readjusted. Then the air pump 14 is controlled to pump air and the adjustment mechanism 7 is controlled to perform a correction process. The correction process can be to clear the spacing currently adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 7 and readjust the spacing according to the thickness selected by the user.

[0077] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The chopping board 13 includes a bottom plate 131, a side plate 132 and a fixed plate 133. The bottom plate 131 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the adjustment mechanism 7, the side plate 132 is located above the bottom plate 131, and the fixed plate 133 is located on the side of the side plate 132 away from the slide seat.

[0078] The upper surface of the bottom plate 131 is provided with a sliding assembly, and the sliding direction of the sliding assembly is parallel to the pressing direction of the pressing mechanism 6. The sliding assembly includes a driving unit 134 and a long rod 135, wherein the driving unit 134 can be an electric cylinder, the cylinder body of the electric cylinder is fixed to the fixed plate 133, the fixed plate 133 is fixed to the bottom plate 131; the rod end of the electric cylinder is fixed to the side plate 132. The long rod 135 penetrates the side plate 132 and one end away from the fixed plate 133 is bent downward and fixed to the bottom plate 131.

[0079] Reference Figure 5An area sensing unit 15 is arranged in the fixed plate 133, and the area sensing unit 15 includes a plurality of movable rods 151 and a plurality of reset switches 152, wherein the fixed plate 133 is hollow, and the fixed plate 133 can be a rectangular structure with a hollow interior and an opening toward one side of the side plate 132, the reset switch 152 is installed in the fixed plate 133, and the movable rod 151 is passed through the side plate 132. The movable rod 151 is slidably penetrated through the side plate 132, and the end of the movable rod 151 is fixed to the sensing end of the reset switch 152. The side plate 132 is provided with a plurality of through holes for the movable rod 151 to penetrate. The two ends of the movable rod 151 may be integrally formed with annular blocks for limiting the position toward the outside, thereby preventing the movable rod 151 from falling off when sliding. In order to prevent the annular block from protruding from the side plate 132, the through hole on the side plate 132 may be a section with a smaller diameter away from the slide slot seat 11, that is, corresponding to the diameter of the movable rod 151, and a larger diameter at the end close to the slide slot seat 11, that is, corresponding to the diameter of the annular block, and the annular block may be snapped into the through hole.

[0080] Each movable rod 151 corresponds to a reset switch 152, and the reset switch 152 is electrically connected to the controller 5. Through the above configuration, when food is abutted against the chopping board 13, the specific position and cross-sectional area of ​​the food can be estimated by how many reset switches 152 are triggered.

[0081] When the side plate 132 is in an initial state close to the chute seat 11, and the movable rod 151 does not extend out of the side plate 132 in the initial state, that is, the annular block of the movable rod 151 is engaged in the through hole, when the user turns on the machine, the driving unit 134 drives the side plate 132 to move toward the side away from the chute seat 11, so that the movable rod 151 protrudes. After the user abuts the food against the side plate 132, the user presses the movable rod 151 toward the reset switch 152. In combination with the above, the food can be abutted against the side plate 132 after the telescopic rod 72 of the adjustment mechanism 7 is pumped with air by the air pump 14 to complete the telescopic adjustment work.

[0082] The following is a detailed explanation of how to obtain and estimate the cross-sectional area:

[0083] The driving unit 134 is electrically connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 is configured as follows:

[0084] 4-1) Obtaining the coordinate information of the reset switch 152; a coordinate system may be established first, assuming that all movable rods 151 are located in the first quadrant, and each movable rod 151 is assigned a coordinate.

[0085] 4-2) Number each reset switch 152 and bind the coordinate information of each number; each coordinate corresponds to a reset switch 152, such as reset switch No. 1 is bound to the coordinate (1,1), and reset switch No. 2 is bound to the coordinate (1,2), so that it is easier to obtain the coordinate information later by the number of the triggered reset switch 152.

[0086] 4-3) When the food type data selected by the user is received, the driving unit 134 is controlled to drive the side plate 132 to slide, and the pressing mechanism 6 is controlled to respond; wherein the driving unit 134 drives the side plate 132 to slide, which means sliding the side plate 132 toward the fixed plate 133, so that the movable rod 151 is exposed, and when the food abuts against the side plate 132, the pressing mechanism 6 is controlled to perform the pressing work, and the movable rod 151 of the abutting part can be pressed toward the reset switch 152.

[0087] 4-4) Obtain the number of the triggered reset switch 152 and the coordinate information bound to the number and control the driving unit 134 to drive the side panel 132 to block the movable rod 151, and control the holding mechanism 6 to follow the side panel 132 to retreat and maintain the holding posture; after obtaining the coordinate information, the main area of ​​the cross section can be selected along the multiple coordinate lines located on the edge; after the side panel 132 is reset, the movable rod 151 is hidden in the side panel 132. At this time, the blade 121 cuts the food, and the movable rod 151 will not hinder the slicing work.

[0088] 4-5) Analyze and estimate the cross-sectional area of ​​the food according to the number information of the triggered reset switch 152 and the bound coordinate information. The approximate area can be estimated according to the selected area. The selected pattern is placed in the coordinate system, and the coordinates of the coordinate system are connected to form multiple squares. The cross-sectional area can be estimated by counting the number of covered squares. Assuming that the distance between two adjacent coordinates is 1 cm, the completely covered square can be estimated as 1 cm. 2 , the incompletely covered square can be estimated as 0.5cm 2 .

[0089] Reference Figure 1 The pressing mechanism 6 includes a pressing plate 61, a pressure sensor 62 and a spring 63, and a guide rail for the pressing plate 61 to slide is fixed on the upper part of the movable table 3.

[0090] The pressing plate 61 is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the side wall of the pressing plate 61 facing away from the chopping board 13 is also connected to an air cylinder 64. The telescopic end of the air cylinder 64 can be connected to the pressing plate 61 by bolts, and the pipeline system of the air cylinder 64 is connected to the air pump 14. In order to facilitate the installation of the pipeline connected to the air pump 14, the side wall of the slide seat 11 can be provided with a through hole for the pipeline to pass through, and the lower surface and side wall of the movable platform 3 are provided with through holes. The guide rail and the air cylinder 64 are both installed on the movable platform 3, and are symmetrically distributed with the center line of the pressing plate 61 as the symmetry axis. One end of the pressing plate 61 can be fixed with a connecting block and connected to the air cylinder 64 by bolts and nuts, and the bottom of the other end of the pressing plate 61 can be dug with a guide groove and slidably connected to the guide rail. The pipeline passes through the multiple through holes of the slide seat 11 and the movable platform 3, passes through the inside of the movable platform 3, and extends through the through hole of the side wall of the movable platform 3, and is connected with the pipeline system of the air cylinder 1 64, wherein the air cylinder 1 64 is a pneumatic telescopic rod used in the prior art, which will not be described here. The pipeline system of the air cylinder 1 64 may include a first pipeline and a second pipeline, and the air pump 14 is connected to the first pipeline of the air cylinder 1 64 through a pipeline, and the air outlet end of the air pump 14 is connected to the second pipeline of the air cylinder 1 64 through a pipeline. There are two solenoid valves 2, which are respectively installed on two pipelines.

[0091] The pressure sensor 62 is embedded in the pressing plate 61, and the sensing end faces the chopping board 13. A spring 63 is provided on the side of the pressing plate 61 away from the chopping board 13. One end of the spring 63 is fixed to the pressing plate 61, and the other end is fixed to the end of the air cylinder 64. When the pressure of the pressing plate 61 on the food is too large, the spring 63 can withstand the reaction force of the food, thereby playing a certain buffering role. A bellows is provided on the upper cover of the movable table 3 to effectively prevent dust from falling in, and the bellows structure will not hinder the sliding of the pressing plate 61 to perform the pressing work.

[0092] The pressure sensor 62 is electrically connected to the controller 5, and the controller 5 is configured as follows:

[0093] 5-1) According to the types of ingredients confirmed by the user, analyze and calculate the maximum pressure value P that the ingredients can withstand; different ingredients can withstand different maximum pressure values, and the staff can conduct experimental analysis on the pressure values ​​that different ingredients can withstand before leaving the factory, and enter them after confirmation.

[0094] 5-2) Based on the maximum pressure value corresponding to the type of food, adjust the pressure parameter according to the adjustment rule; the adjustment rule can be to control the pressure parameter to be slightly smaller than the maximum pressure value. For example, if the maximum pressure value is 100, the pressure parameter can be adjusted to 80; and if the propulsion speed of the air cylinder 64 remains unchanged, then whether the air pump 14 continues to inflate can be controlled to adjust whether the pressure continues to increase.

[0095] 5-3) Obtain the pressure value fed back by the pressure sensor 62;

[0096] 5-4) If the pressure value fed back by the pressure sensor 62 is equal to P, the pressing mechanism 6 is controlled to stop advancing. For example, if the P of the food is 50, and the pressure value fed back by the pressure sensor 62 is 30 at this moment, it is not necessary to control the pressing mechanism 6 to stop advancing. If the pressure value is 5, it is necessary to control the pressing mechanism 6 to stop advancing.

[0097] Reference Figure 1 The reciprocating mechanism 2 includes an air cylinder 21 and a slider 22 connected to the telescopic end of the air cylinder 21, wherein the air cylinder 21 is a pneumatic telescopic rod used in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The air cylinder 21 is installed inside the slide seat 11 through a support, and the bottom of the support is fixed inside the slide seat 11 by bolts. The slider 22 is slidably connected to the slide slot of the slide seat 11. The telescopic end of the air cylinder 21 is connected to the slider 22, and the slider 22 extends to the side and extends out of the slide slot. The pipeline system of the air cylinder 21 is connected to the air outlet and the air extraction end of the air pump 14 through a pipeline, so that the sliding back and forth of the slider 22 can be controlled by the inflation and exhaust of the air pump 14.

[0098] According to the above configuration, the present application only requires one air pump 14 to control the circulation and pumping of gas in the pipeline through various pipelines and solenoid valves 1, 2, 3 and electric three-way valves installed on the pipelines, so that the pressing mechanism 6, the reciprocating mechanism 2 and the adjusting mechanism 7 can be controlled respectively according to work requirements to perform pressing, reciprocating motion and adjustment of slice thickness.

[0099] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
