[0002] In the process of extracting edible flavors, cactus is an important raw material and is widely used for its unique aroma components. However, the surface of the cactus is covered with irregular thorns, which not only easily injure the operator, but also affect the subsequent crushing and juice extraction steps. Therefore, when using cactus to extract edible flavors, it is necessary to remove the thorns on the surface of the cactus first. However, since the shape of the cactus is mostly oval and the surface is irregular, it cannot be fixed mechanically and can only be removed by manual operation. During the thorn removal process, workers need to constantly turn the cactus to ensure that the thorns in each part can be cleaned. In addition, the cactus will ooze juice during the thorn removal process, which will not only cause the operating table to become slippery, but also affect the workers' picking operation, further increasing the difficulty and risk of the work.

[0022] It also includes an annular cutter 4, a guide plate 103 and a filter screen 104; the annular cutter 4 is installed on the installation box 1; an installation groove 1003 is provided on the installation box 1; a number of motors are installed in the installation groove 1003; the output end of each motor is connected to the adjacent annular cutter 4; two guide plates 103 are installed on the installation box 1; all guide plates 103 form a channel 2 10301; a filter screen 104 is installed inside the installation box 1; the filter screen 104 is inclined, and the filter screen 104 is located at the lower side of the annular cutter 4; a discharge port 1001 is provided on the installation box 1; a storage bin 1004 is formed between the filter screen 104 and the installation box 1; drainage holes are provided on the storage bin 1004 and the collection bin 1002.
[0023] It also includes a spring 201 ; the spring 201 is arranged in the installation groove 1003 ; the other end of the spring 201 is connected to the adjacent annular cutter 4 .
[0024] It also includes a guide plate 105; the guide plate 105 is installed in the installation box 1 for guiding the sliced cactus to move toward the discharge port 1001.
[0025] The lower side of the guide plate 103 is tooth-shaped and is stuck between two adjacent annular saw blades on the annular cutter 4 to clean the cactus juice adhering to the annular saw blades, so that the annular cutter 4 can continue to cut the cactus.
[0026] The operating table 2 is provided with a rotating part 21, which is driven by a DD motor to rotate, so that workers can clean the thorns on the cactus.
[0027] The length of the pricking needle 5 gradually decreases from the middle of the operating table 2 to the side, so as to adapt to the shape of the cactus which is thick in the middle and thin on the sides.
[0028] The filter screen 104 is arranged to be inclined from the annular cutter 4 to the discharge port 1001 , so as to facilitate the movement of the sliced cactus to the discharge port 1001 .
[0029] Before the present invention is operated, workers are required to stack the cacti horizontally in the storage hopper 3. After starting the equipment, the slider on the third electric slide rail 305 will drive the unloading assembly to move to the upper side of the operating table 2, such as Fig.10As shown. At this time, the conveyor belt 301 is driven by the motor to rotate in opposite directions, and the cactus in the storage hopper 3 is moved so that it stays on the corresponding isolation plate 111 on the conveyor belt 301. At the same time, the cactus on the bottom isolation plate 111 will fall on the platform 122. Since the platform 122 is inclined, the cactus falling on it is at risk of sliding down. Therefore, before the conveyor belt 301 rotates, the pressing plate 302 on the front side of the storage hopper 3 is first driven by the linear drive member 303 to move downward until the lower side of the pressing plate 302 contacts the platform 122. At the same time, the telescopic plate drives the thorn needle 5 to extend out of the surface of the platform 122, and then the conveyor belt 301 rotates to make the cactus fall on the platform 122. In this way, the cactus is pierced on the thorn needle 5 by the gravity of the fall. In order to better fix the cactus on the thorn needle 5, the slider on the second electric slide rail 304 drives the linear drive member 303 and the pressing plate 302 on the front and rear sides of the storage hopper 3 to move toward the middle of the storage hopper 3. After moving to the middle of the storage hopper 3, the pressing plate 302 is driven downward by the linear driving member 303 to squeeze the cactus so that the thorns 5 are completely inserted into the inside of the cactus, thereby preventing the cactus from falling off the operating table 2 when scraping off the thorns on the cactus.
[0030] It should be noted that, after the storage hopper 3 unloads materials, the slider on the third electric slide rail 305 drives the storage hopper 3 to move from the back to the front, away from the operating platform 2.
[0031] After the cactus is fixed on the operating table 2, the worker stands at the back of the installation box 1, holding a knife in hand, and scrapes off the thorns on the cactus. Subsequently, the driver 110 drives the rotating shaft 108 connected to the platform 2 23 and the platform 2 23 to rotate clockwise from the front to the back, so that the platform 2 23 covers the platform 1 22. At this time, the thorn needle 5 on the platform 2 23 is extended through the telescopic plate inside the platform 2 23 and pierces the cactus. There is a certain gap between the platform 1 22 and the platform 2 23. At this time, the external water pump of the nozzle 107 sprays water to wash the cactus and wash away the thorns and residual cactus fragments that fell on the operating table 2, and enters the collection bin 1 1002 through the channel 1 10201 to collect the necrotic parts and thorns and other residues cut off from the cactus.
[0032] After flushing is completed, the adjacent rotating shafts 108 are driven by the front and rear drivers 110 to drive the connected platform 1 22 and platform 2 23 to rotate counterclockwise from the front to the back. When platform 23 rotates to the specified position, platform 1 22 and platform 2 23 stop rotating. Afterwards, the telescopic plate located on platform 1 22 drives the needle 5 to retract, and with the assistance of platform 1 22, the cactus is separated from platform 1 22 and rotated to reset. At the same time, the slider on the first electric slide rail 106 drives the operating table 2 to move from left to right, so that platform 2 23 moves to the middle of the installation box 1. At this time, platform 1 22 is located as shown in the figure. The worker continues to process the other side of the cactus. At this time, the unloading assembly moves to the position as shown in the figure. Fig.10 The cactus is cleaned by spraying water through the nozzle 107 after the processing is completed. After that, the DD motor connected to the baffle 102 drives the baffle 102 to rotate counterclockwise from left to right, so that the baffle 102 is away from the DD motor side and contacts the platform 1 22 and the platform 2 23 away from the installation box 1. After that, the telescopic plate on the platform 2 23 drives the needle 5 to shrink and detach from the cactus. Since the operating table 2 itself has a certain inclination, the water flow drives the cactus to slide along the inclined surface of the operating table 2, and enters the channel 2 10301 through the guidance of the baffle 102. Through the guidance of the guide plate 103, the cactus falls in a vertical state and contacts the annular cutter 4. The motor drives the annular cutter 4 to rotate in opposite directions to cut the cactus into sheets. The cut cactus falls on the filter screen 104, and the water flows through the filter screen 104 and falls into the storage 1004 bin, and then is discharged through the drain pipe. The cactus slices are guided by the filter screen 104 which is inclined from the back to the front and move toward the discharge port 1001 , flow out through the discharge port 1001 , and are collected by a collection bucket placed at the discharge port 1001 .
[0033] Furthermore, since the shape of cacti is mostly oval, it is not very convenient for workers to clean the cacti when the cacti are fixed on the operating table 2. Therefore, the present invention provides a rotating part 21 on the operating table 2, and the rotating part 21 is driven to rotate by the DD motor, so that workers can clean the thorns on the cacti.
[0034] The present invention places the cactus on the operating table 2 through the discharging device, and then drives the platform 1 22 to move to the middle of the installation box 1 through the slider on the first electric slide rail 106. The worker only needs to stand in the middle of the installation box 1 to scrape off the thorns on the cactus. Such a design not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity of workers, while ensuring the safety of operation.
[0035] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
