Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vegetable cutters, in particular to a large vegetable cutter for fruit and vegetable processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The large vegetable cutter for fruit and vegetable processing is a continuous cutting device specially used for industrial processing of fruits and vegetables, central kitchen, clean vegetable distribution and food factory, and the core is to adapt to large quantities and standardized fruit and vegetable cutting. It includes two parts: one is the main body of the vegetable cutter, and the other is the feeding mechanism installed on the main body rack of the vegetable cutter. The washed and selected fruits and vegetables in the upstream process fall on the feeding mechanism and are conveyed to the main body of the vegetable cutter for cutting. The working principle of the main body of the vegetable cutter is that the fruits and vegetables falling on the feeding mechanism are sent to the reciprocating cutter below by the stepping steel belt for continuous cutting and continuous conveying of the cut fruits and vegetables. The intelligent vegetable cutting robot disclosed in application No. 201810960942.2 and the vegetable cutter for cutting root vegetables disclosed in application No. 201810575571.6 have related technology. The feeding mechanism is generally fixed on the rack of the main body of the vegetable cutter in the form of an inclined slope at a certain angle, so that the fruits and vegetables can slide to the steel belt of the main body of the vegetable cutter under the action of their own gravity when falling on the feeding mechanism. Since the types of fruits and vegetables are different and their shapes are not fixed, some fruits and vegetables are not easy to fall on the feeding mechanism. Therefore, the feeding mechanism of the prior art generally has a vibrating function to facilitate the feeding of fruits and vegetables. However, the fruits and vegetables falling on the feeding mechanism of the upstream process are generally directly concentrated on the center of the feeding mechanism, which will cause uneven distribution of the fruits and vegetables falling on the feeding mechanism, some of which are stacked high and some of which are stacked low. The low stack is not affected, but the high stack is pressed by the upper layer of vegetables during cutting, the lower layer of vegetables bears the weight of the whole stack, and the lower layer of vegetables is severely extruded and deformed. The lower layer is pressed tightly and is easy to stick to the cutter during cutting, and the cutting edge is easy to be rough and broken (for example, the lower layer of potatoes and radishes cut into cubes will be broken into pieces, and the lower layer of leaf vegetables cut into sections will be mashed). The size will be smaller (after being extruded, the cutting will not bounce back consistently), the upper layer will be easy to slip and shift, the cutting edge will be easy to be inclined and have different lengths (for example, the upper layer of long beans cut into sections will have a length difference of 1-2 cm), and the upper layer of soft leaf vegetables will also have a curled edge and will not be cut completely. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the flat inclined plate of the feeding mechanism is changed to a triangular shape with the middle part raised and the two sides inclined, so that the fruits and vegetables falling from the upstream process are distributed to both sides by this structure. However, this structure can effectively distribute the fruits and vegetables and keep them evenly distributed on the steel belt of the main body of the vegetable cutter. However, the inclined plate of this structure is always triangular, and even if the whole mechanism has a vibrating function, the effective feeding width is narrowed and the material movement resistance is increased, which will affect the feeding speed of the fruits and vegetables from the feeding mechanism and the overall cutting efficiency of the vegetable cutter.
