Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of vegetable cutting equipment. Specifically, this invention relates to a multi-functional modular vegetable cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Existing vegetable cutting equipment is mainly divided into two categories: one is single-function dedicated equipment, which can only perform one of the processing operations of slicing, shredding, or dicing. It suffers from high equipment investment costs, large footprint, and cumbersome process connections. The other is multi-functional integrated equipment, but it generally suffers from the defects of being bulky and having a complex structure. For example, the specification of Chinese utility model patent CN 216707606 U, published on June 10, 2022, discloses a multi-functional vegetable cutter. It starts a servo motor to drive a threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod drives a rotating rod to rotate through the cooperation of a belt and a belt roller. The rotation of the rotating rod drives a disc to rotate. Through the cooperation of the disc and a shaft, a connecting rod drives the mounting frame to move up and down, so that the blade moves up and down back and forth. At the same time, the threaded block drives the pusher plate to move to the right through the cooperation of the vertical rod, placing the vegetables on the base for cutting. This greatly reduces the amount of work that workers have to do by pushing the vegetables to the blade. However, this vegetable cutter has a single function and low adaptability to the types of food it can cut. It can only perform single slicing work and has poor adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The following detailed description of the embodiments, with reference to the accompanying drawings, aims to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate, and in-depth understanding of the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention, and to facilitate its implementation.

[0018] like Figure 1As shown, a multi-functional modular vegetable cutter includes a frame 1, a feeding system 2, a slicing system 3, a strip-cutting system 4, and a dicing system 5. The slicing system 3 is connected to the frame 1 and is located on one side of the feeding system 2. The strip-cutting system 4 is located below the slicing system 3. The dicing system 5 is located below the feeding system 2 and is located on one side of the strip-cutting system 4. The frame 1 serves as a load-bearing structure, completing the integrated assembly and fixed support of all components of the vegetable cutter, ensuring the structural stability, assembly accuracy, and operational safety of the equipment during operation, and is the basic carrier for stable operation of the equipment. The frame 1 is formed by multiple cross-shaped square columns. The various components of the vegetable cutter are connected and fixed to the frame 1 by bolts, which facilitates disassembly and installation while improving the overall assembly quality. The structure is designed to ensure stability and improve structural strength. The feeding system 2, slicing system 3, slicing system 4, and dicing system 5 are each independently assembled, with no interference between their functions, while cooperating precisely with each other. They can individually complete single-process slicing, slicing, or dicing according to the food processing requirements, or they can work together to complete a continuous integrated processing procedure of slicing, slicing, and dicing. This machine is suitable for the fine cutting and processing needs of various ingredients such as vegetables, root vegetables, fruits, and meats, with a cutting efficiency of up to 200 kg / h. It boasts core advantages such as diverse cutting functions, convenient disassembly and maintenance, and flexible processing modes, improving processing efficiency and product quality. This vegetable cutter achieves slicing, shredding, and dicing in one machine, eliminating the need for multiple machines and reducing equipment costs and floor space. like Figure 2As shown, the slicing system 4 includes a slicing plate 401, a slicing blade 402, and a slicing shaft 403. The slicing plate 401 is inclined, and its inclined surface forms a food guide surface. After the sliced ​​food falls from the upper slicing system onto the surface of the slicing plate 401, it can automatically slide along the inclined surface to the cutting station by gravity, without manual pushing or additional conveying mechanisms, achieving automatic alignment and cutting of the food, greatly simplifying the equipment's transmission structure. The slicing plate 401 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the angle of the slicing plate 401 can be adjusted around the hinge point of the frame 1. The operator can adjust the angle according to the thickness of the food, The tilt angle of the cutting plate 401 can be flexibly adjusted according to the processing requirements such as the hardness of the ingredients and the required strip width, thereby changing the sliding speed and cutting contact time of the ingredients. This adapts to the slicing of ingredients with different characteristics, such as potatoes, radishes, cucumbers, celery, and meat, effectively avoiding the problems of jamming when cutting hard ingredients and deformation and breakage when squeezing soft ingredients. The slicing blades 402 are located on the slicing shaft 403. Both ends of the slicing shaft 403 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. The frame 1 provides stable support for the high-speed rotation of the slicing blades 402, ensuring that there is no deviation or shaking during the rotation of the shaft, and protecting the multiple slicing blades 402. Consistent cutting precision ensures uniform width of processed food strips. The cutting plate 401 has a clearance groove 404 corresponding to the cutting blade 402. One end of the cutting blade 402 is located within the clearance groove 404. The clearance groove 404 provides clearance space for the cutting blade 402 during cutting, resolving structural interference between the cutting plate 401 and the cutting blade 402. Simultaneously, the design of the cutting blade 402 extending into the clearance groove 404 allows the cutting position of the cutting blade 402 to be close to the cutting plate 401, ensuring the food is cut while fully supported and conforming to the surface of the cutting plate 401, thus preventing food from being cut. To address defects such as skewed cutting, broken strips, and inconsistent widths caused by bottom suspension, this mechanism improves the regularity of strip cutting. A telescopic mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the strip cutting plate 401. One end of the telescopic mechanism 6 is connected to the strip cutting plate 401, and the other end is connected to the frame 1. The telescopic mechanism 6 provides the power source for the angle adjustment of the strip cutting plate 401. Through the reciprocating motion of the telescopic mechanism 6, the strip cutting plate 401 can be driven to rotate forward and backward around the hinge point of the frame, replacing manual adjustment. This results in higher adjustment accuracy and more convenient operation, while also enabling rapid switching of processing modes to adapt to different processing conditions. like Figure 1 As shown, a transmission system 7 is provided below the dicing system 5; the end of the transmission system 7 is connected to the frame 1; the transmission system 7 is responsible for quickly and smoothly conveying the cut strips and diced ingredients out of the equipment, realizing automated discharge, avoiding the accumulation of ingredients inside the equipment causing blockage, rot and pollution, and ensuring continuous uninterrupted operation of the equipment.

[0019] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a slitting shaft bracket 405; the two ends of the slitting shaft 403 are rotatably connected to the slitting shaft bracket 405; the function of the slitting shaft bracket 405 is to improve the operational stability of the slitting system 4. The two ends of the slitting shaft 403 are precisely assembled inside the slitting shaft bracket 405. The bracket adopts a rigid support structure, which can effectively distribute the working load of the shaft and the blade, suppress the vibration and radial runout generated by the high-speed rotation of the shaft, ensure the coaxiality and rotational accuracy of the shaft in the long term, and extend the service life of the shaft and the blade; the slitting shaft bracket 405 is equipped with a self-aligning ball bearing to reduce the resistance to rotation of the slitting shaft 403 and the mechanical vibration generated; the frame 1 is equipped with a slitting drive motor. 406; One end of the cutting shaft 403 is provided with a second synchronous pulley 408 and a cutting synchronous belt 409; the first synchronous pulley 407 and the second synchronous pulley 408 are connected by the cutting synchronous belt 409; during operation, the cutting drive motor 406 drives the first synchronous pulley 407 to rotate, and through the friction transmission of the cutting synchronous belt 409, it drives the second synchronous pulley 408 to rotate synchronously, driving the cutting shaft 403 and the cutting blade 402 to rotate at high speed; the synchronous belt drive has the advantages of smooth transmission, no noise, buffering and shock absorption, and precise transmission ratio, which can ensure that the blade speed is constant and avoid the problem of uneven cutting caused by speed fluctuation. At the same time, the synchronous belt drive is free of oil stains and dead corners of dirt accumulation, which meets the requirements of food hygiene.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 6 includes a telescopic drive motor 601 and a telescopic rod 602; one end of the telescopic rod 602 is rotatably connected to the cutting plate 401, and the other end of the telescopic rod 602 is connected to the output shaft of the telescopic drive motor 601; the telescopic drive motor 601 is rotatably connected to the frame 1; the telescopic drive motor 601 can rotate slightly on the frame 1 with the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 602, avoiding structural jamming and component wear caused by rigid connection, and ensuring the flexibility of transmission movement; the telescopic rod 602 completes the linear reciprocating motion of extension and retraction through the forward and reverse control of the telescopic drive motor 601, thereby pushing or pulling the cutting plate 401 to complete the tilt angle adjustment; a tilt bracket 603 is provided on the frame 1; The flipping bracket 603 and the cutting plate 401 are rotatably connected, with the flipping bracket 603 located at both ends of the cutting plate 401. The flipping bracket 603 ensures that the cutting plate 401 is evenly stressed at both ends, avoiding problems such as tilting, jamming, and deformation caused by unilateral support. This ensures that the flipping process of the cutting plate 401 is smooth and stable without deviation or shaking, and controls the tilt angle of the cutting plate 401, providing reliable structural support for the stable sliding and cutting of food. The telescopic mechanism 6 is electrically driven, which offers higher adjustment accuracy, faster response speed, and stronger operational stability compared to manual or cylinder adjustment. It can achieve minute and precise angle adjustments, adapting to the needs of fine food cutting and meeting the hygiene standards for food processing equipment.

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slicing system 3 includes a slicing blade 301, a blade clamping block 302, an optical axis 303, and a lifting mechanism 8. The blade clamping block 302 is located at both ends of the slicing blade 301, and a clamping groove 304 is provided inside the blade clamping block 302. The slicing blade 301 is located inside the clamping groove 304. An optical axis groove 305 is provided inside the blade clamping block 302. The optical axis 303 passes through the optical axis groove 305. An optical axis seat 306 is provided on the frame 1. Both ends of the optical axis 303 are connected to the optical axis seat 306. The slicing blade 301 and the optical axis 303 are both vertically arranged. The lifting mechanism... 8 is located on one side of the slicing blade 301, and the lifting mechanism 8 is connected to the slicing blade 301. The vertical arrangement of the slicing blade 301 enables vertical downward cutting. Vertical cutting reduces the squeezing damage to the food caused by the slicing blade 301, ensuring a flat and uniform slice surface, effectively preventing food breakage and deformation, and is suitable for slicing various soft and hard ingredients. The blade clamping blocks 302 are symmetrically arranged at the left and right ends of the slicing blade 301 to fix the slicing blade 301. The clamping groove 304 achieves slicing by limiting and clamping. The secure fixing of the slicing blade 301 prevents loosening, shifting, and shaking during operation, ensuring slice thickness accuracy. Simultaneously, the blade clamp 302 and the slicing blade 301 are bolted together, enhancing their connection strength and facilitating quick disassembly and replacement of blades, as well as easy blade grinding, cleaning, and maintenance. A longitudinally penetrating optical axis groove 305 is formed inside the blade clamp 302, and the optical axis 303 is vertically arranged and inserted into the optical axis groove 305. Optical axis seats 306 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the upper part of the frame 1. The upper and lower ends of the shaft 303 are firmly fixed inside the optical axis seat 306 to achieve rigid fixation of the optical axis. The optical axis 303 serves as a vertical motion guide for the blade clamping block 302 and the slicing blade 301. It can limit the movement trajectory of the blade and ensure that the slicing blade 301 can only make up-down reciprocating cutting motion in the vertical direction. This avoids horizontal offset and tilting of the blade clamping block 302, ensuring uniform precision in each slicing operation and ensuring uniform thickness of the finished slice. The lifting mechanism 8 provides power for the up-down reciprocating cutting motion of the slicing blade 301.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the lifting mechanism 8 includes a lifting drive motor 801, a third synchronous pulley 802, a fourth synchronous pulley 803, and a crank wheel 804; a crank pin 805 is provided on the crank wheel 804; a groove 307 is provided on the slicing blade 301; the end of the crank pin 805 is located in the groove 307; a crank bracket 806 is provided on the frame 1, and the frame 1 provides rotational support for the fourth synchronous pulley 803 and the crank wheel 804; one end of the fourth synchronous pulley 803 is rotatably connected to the crank bracket 806, and the other end of the fourth synchronous pulley 803 is connected to the crank wheel 804; the output shaft of the lifting drive motor 801 is rotatably connected to the third synchronous pulley 802; a lifting synchronous belt 807 is provided on the third synchronous pulley 802 and the fourth synchronous pulley 803, and the third synchronous pulley 802 and the fourth synchronous pulley 803 are connected by the lifting synchronous belt. When the lifting motor 801 is running, it drives the crank wheel 804 to rotate continuously through the lifting synchronous belt 807. The lifting drive motor 801 is horizontally set and connected to the frame 1. The layout is compact and reasonable, and does not occupy the vertical working space of the equipment. When the crank wheel 804 rotates, the crank pin 805 rotates with the crank wheel 804 and slides adaptively inside the slide groove 307, converting the circular motion into the vertical up-and-down reciprocating linear motion of the slicing blade 301. The structure is simple, the transmission is stable, and the failure rate is extremely low. It can realize high-frequency continuous cutting of the slicing blade 301, improve the slicing processing efficiency, and the cutting frequency of the slicing blade 301 can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the lifting drive motor 801 to adapt to different processing speed requirements.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the feeding system 2 includes a feeding trough 201, a feeding pusher plate 202, and a feeding drive mechanism 9. The feeding trough 201 is connected to the frame 1 at both ends and serves as a support station for food ingredients. The feeding trough 201 is sized to fit standard food ingredient sizes, allowing for stable placement of ingredients of various shapes. Its smooth surface reduces frictional resistance during the feeding process, preventing food from getting stuck or worn. The feeding pusher plate 202 is located above the feeding trough 201. The feeding drive mechanism 9 is located at both ends of the feeding trough 201 and is connected to the frame 1. Feeding slides 203 are provided at both ends of the feeding trough 201. The feeding slides 203 are connected to the feeding drive mechanism 9. The feeding push plate 202 is arranged horizontally above the feeding trough 201 and is the core component for pushing food ingredients. The feeding push plate 202 can slide back and forth along the length of the feeding trough 201. By pushing the food ingredients forward, the food ingredients are pushed at a uniform speed to the cutting station of the slicing system 3 to achieve automated feeding. The feeding slides 203 are fixedly mounted on the left and right ends of the feeding push plate 202. The feeding slides 203 are slidably connected to the feeding drive mechanism 9. The feeding drive mechanism 9 drives the feeding slides 203. 3. Sliding, thereby pushing the feeding pusher 202; a fixed clamping plate 204 is provided on one side of the feeding pusher 202; the fixed clamping plate 204 is located between the slicing blade 301 and the feeding pusher 202; the top of the fixed clamping plate 204 is rotatably connected to the feeding pusher 202, and a tension spring 205 is provided between the bottom of the fixed clamping plate 204 and the feeding pusher 202. Under the elastic action of the tension spring, the fixed clamping plate 204 always maintains an inward pressing state. When the food is placed in the feeding trough 201, the fixed clamping plate 204 can automatically fit and press the surface of the food, realizing the elastic clamping and fixing of the food. The feeding system addresses issues such as loosening, shifting, lifting, and slipping during ingredient feeding, ensuring that ingredients remain flat when entering the cutting station, thus improving slicing accuracy and finished product flatness. Simultaneously, the fixed clamping plate 204 adapts to the clamping requirements of ingredients of varying thicknesses, preventing damage from rigid compression, demonstrating excellent adaptability. The feeding system 2 is responsible for clamping and feeding the raw ingredients, serving as a core pre-processing structure to ensure stable and continuous operation. Through the feeding drive mechanism 9, it effectively controls the ingredient feeding speed and stroke, ensuring uniform ingredient feeding and improving cutting accuracy.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, the feeding drive mechanism 9 includes a feeding drive motor 901, a lead screw 902, a lead screw nut 903, and a lead screw support 904. The lead screw support 904 is connected to the frame 1 and is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, providing horizontal rigid support for the lead screw 902 to ensure the horizontality and rotational accuracy of the lead screw 902. The lead screw 902 is located inside the lead screw support 904, and one end of the lead screw 902 is connected to the output shaft of the feeding drive motor 901. The lead screw nut 903 is slidably connected to the lead screw 902, and one side of the lead screw nut 903 is connected to the feeding slider 203. The feeding drive motor 901 is connected to the frame 1. 02. The screw 902 and the feeding push plate 202 are arranged horizontally. During operation, the feeding drive motor 901 drives the screw 902 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions. Through the threaded transmission, the screw nut 903 moves horizontally and linearly along the screw 902, thereby driving the feeding slider 203 and the feeding push plate 202 to move synchronously, realizing the automatic pushing and resetting of the food. The screw drive has the advantages of high transmission accuracy, controllable displacement, smooth operation and strong self-locking. It can control the feeding speed and feeding stroke, ensuring that the feeding amount is uniform each time, avoiding feeding too fast, too slow or uneven feeding from affecting the cutting efficiency, and adapting to the needs of high-precision food processing.

The dicing motor bracket 503 is connected to the frame 1 at both ends, providing a stable assembly base for the dicing motor bracket 503 and the dicing drive motor 501. The dicing drive motor 501 is connected to the dicing motor bracket 503, and the output shaft of the dicing drive motor 501 is connected to the dicing blades 502. The output shaft of the dicing drive motor 501 is horizontally positioned, allowing the dicing blades 502 to perform vertical dicing. The dicing blades 502 have a multi-blade combination cutting structure, suitable for the grid-like dicing requirements of sliced ​​ingredients. During high-speed rotation, they can quickly cut the strip-shaped ingredients conveyed to the workstation longitudinally into uniformly sized cubic diced ingredients. The dicing system 5 is independently driven and operates without interfering with other systems. The dicing drive motor 501 is positioned above the transmission system 7, without occupying the lower conveying space of the equipment, resulting in a reasonable and compact structural layout.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 11As shown, the transmission system 7 includes a horizontally arranged first conveyor belt 701 and a horizontally arranged second conveyor belt 702. The horizontal arrangement ensures that the food is transported smoothly without tipping or rolling. The first conveyor belt 701 is located below the slicing plate 401 and is used to receive the strip-shaped food processed by the slicing system 4. The first conveyor belt 701 is driven by a pair of first spindles 703. A first spindle drive motor 704 is provided on the frame 1, and a fifth synchronous pulley 705 is provided on the output shaft of the first spindle drive motor 704. A sixth synchronous pulley 706 is provided at one end of the first spindle 703. A first synchronous belt 707 is provided on the fifth synchronous pulley 705 and the sixth synchronous pulley 706, and the fifth synchronous pulley 705 and the sixth synchronous pulley 706 are connected by the first synchronous belt 707. A first spindle drive motor 704 serves as the drive source. When the first spindle drive motor 704 is running, it drives the first synchronous belt 707 and the sixth synchronous pulley 706 to rotate via the fifth synchronous pulley 705, thereby rotating the first spindle 703 and driving the first conveyor belt 701 to circulate, completing the conveying of the strip-shaped food ingredients. A second conveyor belt 702 is located on one side of the first conveyor belt 701. Driven by a pair of second spindles 708; a second spindle drive motor 709 is provided on the frame 1; a seventh synchronous pulley 710 is provided on the output shaft of the second spindle drive motor; an eighth synchronous pulley 711 is provided at one end of the second spindle 708; a second synchronous belt 712 is provided on the seventh synchronous pulley 710 and the eighth synchronous pulley 711, and the seventh synchronous pulley 710 and the eighth synchronous pulley 711 are connected by the second synchronous belt 712; the second spindle drive motor 709 serves as the drive source, and when the second spindle drive motor 709 is running, it drives the second synchronous belt 712 and the seventh synchronous pulley 710 through the seventh synchronous pulley 710. The eighth synchronous pulley 711 rotates, driving the second spindle 708 to rotate, which in turn drives the second conveyor belt 702 to circulate and complete the discharge and conveying of strip-shaped ingredients; the ends of the first conveyor belt 701 and the second conveyor belt 702 are attached to each other to achieve a tight connection of the conveying path and avoid material leakage or jamming; the dicing blade 502 is located above the first conveyor belt 701 and the second conveyor belt 702. When the strip-shaped ingredients are conveyed to the docking station, the dicing blade 502 completes the dicing. The diced ingredients fall directly onto the second conveyor belt 702 and are sent out, realizing the connection between cutting and conveying.

[0027] The transmission system 7, through the structural design of conveyor belts and synchronous belts, can adjust the conveying speed of the two conveyor belts separately according to the difference in processing speed, so as to match the processing speed with the output speed, avoid the problems of food accumulation and conveying lag, and ensure the continuous operation of the equipment. At the same time, all synchronous belts adopt 20mm wide 5GT transmission, and all synchronous pulleys transmit power through 36 teeth, which is non-slip, has a precise transmission ratio, and has a smooth surface that does not easily attract oil fumes and dust, requiring no lubrication and meeting food hygiene standards.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the slicing blade 402 and the slicing shaft 403 are connected by a flange. The flange connection offers advantages such as high connection strength, high coaxiality, and convenient assembly / disassembly, ensuring that the slicing blade 402 and the slicing shaft 403 rotate synchronously without deviation. It also facilitates quick disassembly, replacement, and sharpening of the slicing blade 402, improving the ease of later equipment maintenance. The slicing blade 402 has a circular structure; the circular blade edge has no dead angles and low cutting resistance, enabling continuous cutting during high-speed rotation. Simultaneously, the smooth edge of the circular blade prevents squeezing of food. The pressure is designed to prevent breakage and ensure the integrity and smoothness of the cut ingredients. The slicing plate 401, the feeding trough 201, and the slicing blade 301 are all square structures. The slicing blade 301 adopts a square plate structure with a straight and sharp blade that distributes force evenly. The square groove of the feeding trough 201 can increase the load-bearing space of the trough and improve cutting efficiency. The square plate structure of the slicing plate 401 can increase the load-bearing area and the amount of slicing, thus improving the slicing efficiency of the vegetable cutter. The blade clamp 302 has a T-shaped structure, which facilitates clamping and fixing the slicing blade 301.

[0029] The working process of this multi-functional modular vegetable cutter is as follows: After the equipment is connected to the power supply, the operator places the whole piece of food to be processed into the feeding trough 201. Under the elastic force of the tension spring 205, the fixing clamp 204 automatically presses the food, completing the positioning and clamping of the food. Then, the feeding drive motor 901 drives the lead screw 902 to rotate, which drives the lead screw nut 903 and the feeding push plate 202 to move forward at a constant speed, accurately pushing the food to the cutting position directly below the slicing blade 301. At the same time, the lifting drive motor 801 drives the crank wheel 804 to rotate continuously through the synchronous belt drive. With the cooperation of the crank pin 805 and the slide groove 307, the slicing blade 301 is driven to make high-frequency vertical up and down reciprocating motion along the optical axis 303, continuously and vertically slicing the food that has been pushed into place. The sliced ​​food that has been cut falls naturally to the surface of the inclined cutting plate 401, and automatically slides along the plate to the cutting strip. The blade 402 is used for cutting. Then, the strip-cutting drive motor 406 drives the strip-cutting shaft 403 and multiple sets of circular strip-cutting blades 402 to rotate at high speed via a synchronous belt. The blades pass through the clearance groove 404 to continuously cut the slid-in sheet-like ingredients at equal intervals, cutting them into uniform strips. The cut strips fall directly onto the surface of the first conveyor belt 701. The first spindle drive motor 704 drives the first conveyor belt 701 to rotate at a uniform speed, and the first conveyor belt 701 sends the strips into the dicing station. Then, the dicing drive motor 501 drives the dicing blades 502 to rotate at high speed, dicing the strips. The diced ingredients are directly sent through the first conveyor belt 701 to the surface of the second conveyor belt 702 and then out. Workers collect the processed ingredients at the end of the second conveyor belt 702. After processing, all motors are turned off, and all parts of the vegetable cutter are cleaned.
