The stick vegetable placement chamber 9 is designed to be circular, with multiple chambers arranged in a layered, parallel configuration to accommodate various stick-shaped vegetables. Each component is fixed with a support column 7, and a weighing device 11 is installed below the support column 7. The vegetable storage compartment 9 can weigh and measure the ingredients as needed. Vegetable storage mounting plates 8 are fixed at both ends of the support column 7. One end of the vegetable storage mounting plate 8 has a vegetable inlet 14 corresponding to the vegetable storage compartment 9, and the other end of the vegetable storage mounting plate 8 has a vegetable outlet 15 corresponding to the vegetable storage compartment 9. The vegetable storage compartment 9 can be designed as round, oval, square, or flat. The shape of the push plug 3-1 is designed to be the same as the shape of the vegetable storage compartment 9, but the shape, size, and perimeter should be smaller than the reasonable size of the vegetable storage compartment 9.

[0013] In this implementation case, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the vegetable pushing device 3 is installed at one end of the vegetable inlet 14 of the vegetable placement compartment 9.

The pushing power moving mechanism 4 also includes a moving motor 4-1, a turntable 4-4, a pull rod 4-5, a connecting plate D4-6, a slide rail D4-3, and a slider D4-2. The pusher 3-1 is located at the vegetable inlet 14. Based on the design shape of the vegetable placement chamber 9, multiple pushers 3-1 are arranged in layers and parallel on multiple push plates 3-2. Similarly, multiple push plates 3-2 are arranged in layers and parallel on the lead screw B3-3. A linear bearing 3-6 and a lead screw nut 3-5 are installed at the connection between the push plate 3-2 and the lead screw B3-3. A guide shaft 3-10 is located near the lead screw B3-3. Multiple lead screws B3-3 and guide shafts 3-10 are designed according to the number of push plates 3-2, and are arranged in layers on the fixing plates 3-4 on both sides. The lead screws B3-3 and guide shafts 3-10 are connected to the vegetable placement chamber 9. Corresponding to each layer, a connecting plate 6-4 is provided on the rear side of the fixed plate 3-4, connecting the fixed plates 3-4 on both sides. A slider 6-7 is installed on the upper and lower connecting plates 6-4 on both sides, and a slide rail 6-6 is connected to the slider 6-7 on both sides.

A fixing seat 6-1 is installed at the connection between the lifting motor 6-2 and the lead screw B6-3. A fixing seat 6-1 is also provided at the lower end of the lead screw B6-3. By controlling the output power of the motor, the fixed plate 33-4 can be moved up and down on the slide rail 6-6, so that the push plug 3-1 can move upward when the vegetables are put into the vegetable storage compartment 9, and move downward to reset and cover the vegetable inlet 14 after the vegetables are put in.All lead screws B6-3 have one end fixed to a fixed plate 3-4, and the other end passes through the fixed plate 3-4 and connects to a power connector 3-8. Each lead screw B6-3 is equipped with a power connector 3-8. Opposite the power connector 3-8 is a mounting plate C5-11. Lead screws C5-3 are mounted on mounting plate C5-11. Lead screws C5-3 are equipped with lead screw nuts C5-5, which are connected to slide rails C5-4. Slider C5-7 is mounted on slide rails C5-4. Push motors 5-10 are mounted on sliders C5-7, and power output sleeves 5-9 are mounted on push motors 5-10. Lead screw bases 5-2 are mounted on both the upper and lower ends of lead screws C5-3. A power motor 5-1 is mounted on the top of lead screw C5-3. The power motor 5-1 is equipped with a motor bracket C5-8 fixed to the mounting plate C5-11, which can control the power motor 5-1 to drive the slider C5-7 to move up and down, thus realizing the push motor. The power output sleeve 5-9 on 5-10 corresponds to the power connector 3-8 on the opposite side. A pushing power moving component 4 is located below the mounting plate C5-11. Two slide rails D4-3 are located at the bottom of the mounting plate C5-11, with a slider D4-2 on each slide rail. The slider D4-2 is connected to the mounting plate C5-11. A connecting plate D4-6 is also installed at the bottom of the mounting plate C5-11.

The turntable 4-4 has a pull rod 4-5, which is connected to the connecting plate D4-6. This allows the moving motor 4-1 to push the mounting plate C5-11 closer to the vegetable placement chamber 9 until the power output sleeve 5-9 connects with the power connector 3-8 on the opposite side. This enables the power to push the vegetable into the vegetable placement chamber 9, propelling the vegetables to the cutting mechanism 1 at the other end of the vegetable placement chamber 9.

[0014] In this implementation case, such as Figure 1 , 3As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the cutting mechanism 1 further includes a cutting blade 1-5, a synchronous pulley 1-6, a bearing seat 1-8, a lead screw nut B1-10, a lead screw assembly mounting plate 1-9, a synchronous belt 1-2, a transmission gear 1-1, a cutting blade motor 1-4, a motor bracket B1-3, and a lead screw B1-7. The cutting mechanism 1 is installed at the vegetable outlet 15 of the vegetable placement compartment 9. Both ends of the cutting blade 1-5 are provided with lead screw nuts B1-10 and connected to the lead screw B1-7. The lead screw B1-7 is provided with a lead screw assembly mounting plate 1-9. The bearing seat 1-8 is installed above the lead screw nut B1-10. The synchronous pulley 1-6 is provided above the bearing seat 1-8.

The cutter motor 1-4 is equipped with a motor bracket B1-3 mounted on the screw assembly mounting plate 1-9. The cutter motor 1-4 can control the cutter 1-5 to move up and down on the two screws B1-7, so as to cut the vegetables pushed by the vegetable pushing device 3 to the vegetable outlet 15 of the vegetable placement chamber 9. The cutter mechanism 1 also includes a grid cutter 10. The grid cutter 10 is provided at the vegetable outlet 15 of the vegetable placement chamber 9 in one layer. The grid cutter 10 is designed as an integral part of the vegetable placement chamber 9, or it can be designed separately on the vegetable chamber mounting plate 8 at the outlet 15. When the vegetable pushing device 3 pushes the vegetables in the vegetable placement chamber 9 to the grid cutter 10, the vegetables can be cut into strips and the distance can be adjusted by the baffle 2-1. When the distance is adjusted to be close, the vegetables can be cut into cubes.

[0015] In this implementation case, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figure 6, the vegetable cutting thickness adjustment mechanism 2 is installed between the vegetable placement chamber 9 and the cutting mechanism 1.

Guide rods E2-7 are provided on both sides of the baffle 2-1, and guide hole plates 2-2 are provided on the guide rods E2-7 and pass through the guide rods E2-7. The two upper guide rods E2-7 are connected by guide hole plates 2-2, and the two lower guide rods E2-7 are also connected by guide hole plates 2-2. The guide hole plates 2-2 are fixedly installed on the lead screw assembly mounting plate 1-9, and are fixed between the upper and lower guide hole plates 2-2. A mounting plate E2-3 is fixedly installed on the screw assembly mounting plate 1-9. A bearing 2-8 and a screw E2-6 are installed on the mounting plate E2-3. One end of the screw E2-6 is fixedly connected to a baffle 2-1, and the other end of the screw E2-6 is connected to a transmission gear E2-5. An adjusting motor 2-4 is installed near the transmission gear E2-5. The adjusting motor 2-4 can control the power to drive the baffle 2-1 to move back and forth, thereby realizing the distance adjustment when cutting vegetables. The shorter the distance, the thinner the cut and the shorter the segment; the longer the distance, the thicker the cut and the longer the segment. According to the cutting requirements of the recipe, a grid cutter 10 can be used in conjunction with the cutter 1-5 to cut the vegetables into strips, slices, chunks, or cubes. In this implementation case, such as Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, a baffle 12 and a silicone buffer roller 13 are installed below the cutting mechanism 1.
