Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of turmeric processing, and specifically discloses a turmeric slicing device and method. Background Art

[0002] Turmeric, also known as zedoary, warm turmeric, etc., belongs to the Zingiberaceae family. Its rhizome is oval or oblong, with a yellowish-brown or grayish-brown surface, having wrinkles and nodes. Turmeric is pungent, bitter, and cold in nature, and belongs to the liver, heart, and lung meridians, having the effects of promoting qi circulation and relieving depression, cooling blood and removing stasis.

[0003] After turmeric is picked, it needs to be soaked, dried, and sliced to obtain turmeric slices. Due to the irregular shape of turmeric, traditional turmeric slicing devices are all carried out in batches. After a certain amount of turmeric is put into the slicing device in batches, the turmeric in this batch is then uniformly cut to obtain turmeric slices.

[0004] During the slicing process, the friction between the dried turmeric and the cutting knife will generate a by-product: turmeric powder. The existing turmeric slicing devices do not have a collection structure for the generated turmeric powder. During the turmeric slicing process and after slicing is completed, some turmeric powder will escape into the environment around the slicing device, and some turmeric powder will be discharged with the turmeric slices. However, since the output of turmeric powder in one batch is limited, usually only the turmeric slices are collected when the turmeric slices are discharged, and there is no unified structure for collecting turmeric powder, resulting in a problem of resource waste.

[0005] The present invention provides a turmeric slicing device and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that traditional turmeric slicing devices cannot collect the generated turmeric powder, resulting in resource waste.

A plurality of tooth grooves meshing with the gear one are equidistantly provided on the inner side of the L-shaped plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism two includes a rack two fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding plate and a rest platform for stabilizing the angle of the ratchet wheel two. The teeth on the rack two are ratchet teeth two with a right-angled triangle cross-section, and the inclined surface of the ratchet teeth two faces towards the belt. The ratchet wheel two meshes with the rack two, and the length of the rest platform is shorter than the traveling distance of the feeding plate two.

[0017] Furthermore, a vertical sliding groove is provided on the cutting box. The vertical cutting assembly includes a connecting plate slidably connected to the vertical sliding groove and controlled in height by the driven structure three, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting plate and extending into the cutting box, a plurality of cutting knives equidistantly fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and capable of extending into the cutting groove, and a driving motor two provided on the connecting plate for driving the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0021] The basic solution of the present invention also provides a turmeric slicing method based on the above-mentioned turmeric slicing device, including the following steps:

[0022] Step A1: Start the first driving motor, control the output shaft of the first driving motor to rotate clockwise, and put the turmeric blocks to be sliced onto the belt of the belt conveying mechanism.

[0023] Step A2: The turmeric blocks are conveyed by the belt to the end and then fall onto the feeding plate. After all the turmeric blocks fall into the feeding plate, control the output shaft of the first driving motor to rotate counterclockwise.

[0024] Step A3: The output shaft of the first driving motor rotates counterclockwise to drive the belt to reverse, and drives the feeding plate into the cutting box through the first transmission mechanism. The feeding plate drives the sealing plate to open and close the feeding port and the vertical cutting assembly to descend through the second transmission mechanism and the third transmission mechanism respectively, and the vertical cutting assembly slices the turmeric.

[0025] During the process of Step A3, the air supply component supplies air to the air inlet. When the vertical cutting assembly slices the turmeric, the turmeric powder generated by the air is collected into the collection bag through the air outlet.

[0026] Step A4: Control the output shaft of the driving motor 1 to rotate clockwise, causing the transfer plate and the vertical cutting assembly to move in the opposite direction, while the height of the sealing plate remains unchanged. The turmeric slices on the transfer plate are pushed down into the cutting box through the sealing plate.

[0027] Step A5: Repeat steps A1 to A4 until all the turmeric pieces to be sliced are processed.

[0028] The principle and effect of this solution are:

[0029] 1. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can process turmeric to be sliced in batches. A certain amount of turmeric to be sliced is placed on a belt conveyor mechanism, and after being transported to a material transfer plate by the belt, the turmeric to be sliced is brought into a cutting box by the material transfer plate. The material transfer plate drives the sealing plate through transmission mechanism 2 and transmission mechanism 3 to open and close the feed port, and lower the vertical cutting assembly. The vertical cutting assembly performs slicing, and during the slicing process, the air supply assembly supplies air to the air inlet. When slicing is performed by the vertical cutting assembly, the turmeric powder generated by the wind is collected in a collection bag through the air outlet, thereby solving the problem that the traditional turmeric slicing device cannot collect the generated turmeric powder and wastes resources.

[0030] 2. Compared to the prior art, the present invention's transfer plate is equipped with several cutting slots for the cutting blades. These slots not only provide a path for the cutting blades but also allow the generated turmeric powder to be carried into a collection bag by wind. Furthermore, the present invention not only collects turmeric powder but also stores turmeric slices separately, separating the collection of turmeric powder from the collection of turmeric slices. This prevents mixing of turmeric powder with turmeric slices during collection, and allows for screening of the collected turmeric slices to remove scraps.

[0031] 3. Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses the transfer plate as the "middle connecting structure". The movement of the transfer plate controls the movement of the sealing plate and the vertical cutting assembly. The sealing plate can not only realize the opening and closing of the feed port, but also can move the turmeric slices into the collection box below. It can not only achieve a blocking effect, but also realize the movement of materials through its own blocking function. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] A turmeric slicing device, as shown in embodiments such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown:

[0041] Comprises a cutting box 1 and a reciprocating feeding assembly arranged on the left side of the cutting box 1.

[0042] The reciprocating feeding assembly includes a belt 2 transportation mechanism, support frames installed on both sides of the belt 2 transportation mechanism, and a driving motor one installed on the support frames and used to drive the belt 2 transportation mechanism. The belt 2 transportation mechanism includes belt 2 shafts respectively installed on both sides of the support frames and rotatable, belt 2 wheels coaxially and fixedly installed on the belt 2 shafts, and a belt 2 meshing between the belt 2 wheels. The belt 2 shaft on the right side is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor one.

[0043] In this embodiment, a number of partition plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the belt 2. Moreover, baffle plates are inclinedly installed on both sides of the belt 2 to facilitate the feeding of turmeric blocks. Further, two limiting baffle plates are installed between the baffle plates. A gap for the turmeric blocks to fall is formed between the two limiting baffle plates. The distance between the two limiting baffle plates and the surface of the belt 2 is greater than the average size of a single turmeric block and less than the size after two turmeric blocks are stacked.

[0044] On the left side of the cutting box 1, a feeding port is opened, and a feeding plate 9 that can slide horizontally is installed through the feeding port. The left end of the feeding plate 9 can extend under the belt 2, the right end of the feeding plate 9 is always located inside the cutting box 1, and the right end of the feeding plate 9 can be attached to the right inner wall of the cutting box 1. An upward-opening arc-shaped part for receiving turmeric is formed on the feeding plate 9, and a number of cutting grooves are equidistantly opened on the arc-shaped part. The specific opening direction of the cutting grooves is the same as the sliding direction of the feeding plate 9, and the cutting grooves penetrate to the right end of the feeding plate 9.

[0045] A first driven structure is also installed on the feeding plate 9, and the output shaft of the first driving motor also drives a first transmission mechanism that transmits power to the first driven structure. The first driven structure includes two first racks 15 respectively fixed on both sides of the feeding plate 9. The teeth on the first racks 15 are first ratchet teeth with a right-angled triangle cross-section, and the inclined surface of the first ratchet teeth faces to the right, that is, away from the belt 2. The first transmission mechanism includes a first ratchet wheel 3 coaxially fixed on the shaft of the belt 2, with the shaft of the belt 2 as the transmission shaft. The first ratchet wheel 3 meshes with the first racks 15.

[0046] A sealing plate 10 that can slide vertically is also installed on the left inner wall of the cutting box 1. A guiding groove is opened on the left inner wall of the cutting box 1, and a guiding block that slides in the guiding groove is formed on the sealing plate 10. Moreover, a soft pad 22 is installed at the bottom end of the sealing plate 10 and can be attached to the top surface of the feeding plate 9. Further, the soft pad 22 can extend into the cutting grooves.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, a second driven structure for driving the sealing plate 10 to reciprocate is also installed on the cutting box 1. The second driven structure includes a first transmission rod and a second transmission rod 11 that are installed inside the cutting box 1 on both sides of the feeding port and can rotate, a belt transmission mechanism installed between the first transmission rod and the second transmission rod 11, a second ratchet wheel 17 coaxially fixed on the first transmission rod, and a first gear 21 coaxially fixed on the second transmission rod 11. The first transmission rod is installed below the second transmission rod 11. On the inner sides of both ends of the top of the sealing plate 10, an L-shaped plate 20 is also formed. A gap for the second transmission rod 11 and the first gear 21 to extend into is formed between the L-shaped plate 20 and the sealing plate 1, and a number of tooth grooves meshing with the first gear 21 are equidistantly opened on the inner side of the L-shaped plate 20.

[0048] The transfer plate 9 is equipped with a second transmission mechanism that synchronously transmits power to the second driven mechanism. This mechanism comprises two racks 16 fixedly mounted on either side of the transfer plate 9 and resting platforms 18 fixedly mounted on either side of the transfer plate 9 and used to stabilize the angle of a second ratchet 17. The teeth on the second rack 16 are ratchet teeth with a right-angled triangle cross-section, with the inclined surface of the second ratchet teeth facing toward the belt 2. The second ratchet 17 engages with the second rack 16. Resting platform 18 is mounted at the left end of the second rack 16 and is continuous with it. The height of resting platform 18 is equal to the height of the top of the second ratchet tooth and is shorter than the travel distance of the transfer plate 9. When the turmeric pieces on the transfer plate 9 are completely inserted into the cutting box 1, the second ratchet 17 disengages from the resting platform 18, and the sealing plate 10 falls freely under the action of gravity to seal the feed port.

[0049] The cutting box 1 is also equipped with a vertical cutting assembly for cutting turmeric blocks. Specifically, the cutting box 1 is provided with a vertical chute. The vertical cutting assembly includes a connecting plate 4 that is mounted and vertically slideable via the vertical chute, a rotatable shaft mounted on the inner side of the connecting plate 4, and a plurality of cutting knives that are equidistantly fixed on the shaft and can extend into the cutting chute. The connecting plate 4 is also provided with a second drive motor, and both the shaft and the cutting knives are located within the cutting box 1. The output shaft of the second drive motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the shaft. A partition is also fixed to the inner side of the connecting plate 4 to continuously close the vertical chute during the sliding process. A connecting plate is fixedly mounted between the connecting plate 4 and the partition, forming a gap between the connecting plate 4 and the partition that is clamped to the wall of the cutting box 1.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the cutting box 1 is also equipped with a driven structure 3 for driving the connecting plate 4 in vertical reciprocating motion. The driven structure 3 includes an L-shaped corner plate fixed to the cutting box 1, a slider 1 6 mounted on the cutting box 1 and capable of vertical sliding, and a slider 2 7 mounted on the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate and capable of vertical sliding. Slider 2 7 is stacked on slider 1 6, but the two can slide in an interlaced manner. The right side of slider 1 6 is fixed to the left side of the connecting plate 4. Several tooth grooves are evenly spaced on the left sides of sliders 1 6 and 2 7. A gear transmission mechanism is mounted on the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate, which causes sliders 1 6 and 2 7 to move in opposite directions. Specifically, the gear transmission mechanism includes a shaft 1 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate, a driving gear 23 coaxially fixed to shaft 1, a shaft 2 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate, and a driven gear 26 coaxially fixed to shaft 2. The driving gear 23 meshes with the driven gear 26, which also meshes with the teeth on the slider 2 7. The driven gear 26 meshes with the teeth on the slider 1 6. A transmission mechanism 3 is also mounted on the transfer plate 9, transmitting power to the slider 2 7. The transmission mechanism 3 includes a slider 3 8 fixed to the transfer plate 9 and having a plurality of teeth at equal intervals, and a gear 2 that rotates on the cutting box 1 and meshes between the slider 3 8 and the slider 2 7.

[0051] Further, a spring mechanism is also installed between the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate and the second slider 7, and the second slider 7 is pressed downward through the spring mechanism. The spring mechanism includes a driven pressing plate fixed on the left side of the second slider 7, a driving pressing plate fixed on the inner side of the L-shaped corner plate, and a spring fixed between the driven bottom plate and the driving pressing plate, and the driving pressing plate is located above the driven pressing plate. In this embodiment, the elastic force of the spring is greater than the weight of the first slider 6, the second slider 7, and the whole connected to the first slider 6. The driving force applied by the driving motor 1 is greater than the elastic force of the spring.

[0052] As Figure 5 shown, an air inlet is opened at the front side of the cutting box 1 above the feeding plate 9, and it is specifically arranged above the feeding plate 9 and below the vertical chute. An air outlet 19 is opened on the other side of the cutting box 1 below the feeding plate 9 and is connected with a collecting bag. A wind supply component communicated with the air inlet is also installed on the cutting box 1. The wind supply component includes an air box 5 fixed between the connecting plate 4 and the driving motor 2. The driving motor 2 is fixed through the air box 5. The output shaft of the driving motor 2 passes through the air box 5 and extends into the air box 5. The rotating shaft passes through the connecting plate 4 and is coaxially and fixedly connected with the output shaft of the driving motor 2 in the air box 5. The wind supply component also includes a plurality of fan blades fixed on the rotating shaft located in the air box 5. An air inlet groove is opened at the top of the air box 5 and a filter screen is installed. An air outlet groove is opened at the bottom of the air box 5 and a ventilation pipe is connected between the air outlet groove and the air inlet.

[0053] As Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, in this embodiment, an aggregate box 12 is also installed in the cutting box 1 below the feeding plate 9. The aggregate box 12 is installed near one side of the sealing plate 10. A feeding groove is opened at the left side of the top of the aggregate box 12. A discharge groove penetrating to the outside of the cutting box 1 is opened at the rear side of the aggregate box 12. An inclined platform 14 for guiding the turmeric slices to the discharge groove is also installed in the aggregate box 12.

[0054] Further, a top plate 24 capable of closing the feeding groove is installed at the top of the aggregate box 12, and a ball groove is opened at the top end of the top plate 24. At the right end of the feeding plate 9, that is, at the bottom end of the end far from the belt 2, a synchronization mechanism for driving the top plate 24 to open and close the feeding groove is installed. The synchronization mechanism includes a synchronization block fixed at the bottom end of the feeding plate 9 and a ball table fixed at the bottom end of the synchronization block and capable of being clamped into the ball groove. In this embodiment, a blanking groove is formed between the inclined platform 14 and the left inner wall of the aggregate box 12, and a sieve plate 13 with the same height as the top end of the inclined platform 14 is installed in the blanking groove. A baffle plate 25 for dialing the material above the sieve plate 13 into the inclined platform 14 is also fixedly installed on the ground of the top plate 24.

[0055] The present invention also provides a turmeric slicing method based on the above turmeric slicing device, including the following steps:

[0056] Step A1: Turn on the first driving motor, control the output shaft of the first driving motor to rotate clockwise, and feed the turmeric blocks to be sliced onto the belt 2 of the belt 2 conveying mechanism;

[0057] Step A2: The belt 2 conveys the turmeric blocks to the end and then drops them onto the feeding plate 9. After all the turmeric blocks fall into the feeding plate 9, control the output shaft of the first driving motor to rotate counterclockwise;

[0058] Step A3: The counterclockwise rotation of the output shaft of the first driving motor drives the belt 2 to reverse, and drives the feeding plate 9 into the cutting box 1 through the first transmission mechanism. The feeding plate 9 drives the sealing plate 10 to open and close the feeding port and the vertical cutting assembly to descend respectively through the second and third transmission mechanisms, and the vertical cutting assembly slices the turmeric;

[0059] During the process of Step A3, the air supply assembly supplies air to the air inlet. When the vertical cutting assembly slices the turmeric, the turmeric powder generated by the wind enters the collection bag through the air outlet 19 for collection;

[0060] Step A4: Control the output shaft of the first driving motor to rotate clockwise. The feeding plate 9 and the vertical cutting assembly move in the opposite directions, and the height of the sealing plate 10 remains unchanged. When the end of the feeding plate 9 travels on the top plate 24, the feeding slot is opened through the cooperation of the ball table and the ball groove until the sealing plate 10 blocks the turmeric slices piled up on the feeding plate 9 when the feeding plate 9 travels to the end. The sealing plate 10 dials the turmeric slices on the feeding plate 9 into the aggregate box 12 and falls onto the sieve plate 13 of the aggregate box 12;

[0061] Step A5: Repeat Step A1 to Step A4 until all the turmeric blocks to be sliced are processed.

[0062] During the implementation of Step A3, when the feeding plate 9 enters the cutting box 1, it will also push the top plate 24 back to close the feeding slot on the aggregate box 12 through the cooperation of the ball table and the ball groove. During the backward movement of the top plate 24, the turmeric slices that meet the size standard on the blanking slot can be dialed onto the inclined table 14 through the dialing plate 25 for unified collection. The sieve plate 13 can screen out the scraps generated during the turmeric slicing process, and the subsequent scraps can be ground into turmeric powder for use.

[0063] Several cutting grooves for the cutting knives to enter are opened on the feeding plate 9 of the present invention. The cutting grooves can not only provide a traveling path for the cutting knives, but also bring the generated turmeric powder into the collection bag through the action of the wind. Moreover, the present invention can not only collect the turmeric powder, but also store the turmeric slices separately, separating the collection of the turmeric powder from the collection of the turmeric slices. When collecting the turmeric slices, the turmeric powder will not be mixed, and the collected turmeric slices can also be screened to remove the scraps.

[0064] The present invention uses the transfer plate 9 as the "intermediate connecting structure". Through the action of the transfer plate 9, the movement of the sealing plate 10 and the vertical cutting assembly is controlled. Through the sealing plate 10, not only the opening and closing of the feed port can be realized, but also the turmeric slices can be transferred into the collection box 12 below. It can not only achieve a blocking effect, but also realize the transfer of materials through its own blocking function.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
