Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a potato rotary cutter, specifically to a potato rotary cutter device with root-cutting function and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Spiral potato chips are a type of snack food processed using a specific spiral cutting process. Due to their unique spiral shape and large surface area, they have a good taste and flavor absorption capacity, and have broad market demand and development prospects. They are especially suitable for mass production and sales in scenarios such as street vendors and small food processing shops.

[0003] Currently, existing potato rotary cutting equipment still has the following technical limitations in practical production applications: First, the root is not completely removed, resulting in significant material waste. Potatoes are naturally irregular in shape, with hard, uneven root ends or sunken buds at both ends. When the rotary cutting device of existing equipment cuts to this part, it often leaves "residual root ends" due to unstable clamping, causing significant material waste and production capacity loss. Second, the radial stability of potatoes is poor during high-speed rotation. During high-speed centrifugal rotary cutting, potatoes are subjected to the combined effects of centrifugal force and blade cutting force, making them prone to radial displacement and jumping. This often leads to a high breakage rate and irregular shape of the finished product.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design and manufacture a potato rotary cutter with a root-cutting function that can adaptively and stably clamp the potato, achieve complete root cutting, and thoroughly eliminate residual roots, as well as its usage method. This significantly improves the material utilization rate and standardization of the finished product, filling the market gap for equipment suitable for the batch processing needs of small businesses. It can be widely applied to the practical needs of street vendors, small food processing shops, and other similar scenarios. Summary of the Invention

The control system is electrically connected to the electrical components of the lifting mechanism and the rotating mechanism to control the coordinated operation of the device.

[0013] Furthermore, the method of using the potato rotary cutter with root-cutting function is characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0014] S01. Feeding and holding: Place the potato to be rotary cut at the center of the blade holder mechanism 4; at this time, under the action of the spring 53, the light rod 52 slides radially inward, thereby driving the holding plate 54 to initially clamp and hold the potato, ensuring that the potato does not shift radially during the rotary cutting process;

[0015] S02. Start-up and distance measurement: Operate the control panel to start the equipment. The control system first turns on the infrared rangefinder 29 located on the pressure plate bracket 27 to measure the distance (between the pressure plate bracket 27 and the cutter head 42) in real time.

[0017] S04.

The cut potato slices are discharged downward from the radial opening of the cutter head 42.

[0019] S06. Stop and Reset: After the rotary cutting process is completed (the air pump 210 pumps out all the gas, and the remaining potatoes are completely cut at the root), the control system controls the servo motor 32 to stop running, and the cutter head 42 stops rotating; then, the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 reverses, driving the pressure plate 28 to rise along the guide rail 25 to reset to the initial position; the motor 21 stops rotating, the air pump 210 and the infrared rangefinder 29 are turned off, completing the entire potato rotary cutting process.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 3 includes: a transmission box 31, a servo motor 32, a bevel gear shaft 33, a small bevel gear 34, a large bevel gear 35, a large bevel gear shaft 36, a worm gear 37, a worm wheel 38, and a thrust bearing 39; the transmission box 31 and the servo motor 32 are both fixedly mounted on the support mechanism 1, and the power output end of the servo motor 32 is connected to the small bevel gear 34 via a spline; the small bevel gear 34 meshes with the large bevel gear 35, causing the large bevel gear 35 to reduce speed and increase torque, providing a powerful cutting force; the large bevel gear 35 and the worm gear 37 are both connected via a spline. The large bevel gear shaft 36 is on which the worm 37 meshes with the worm wheel 38; both the worm wheel 38 and the transmission box 31 have central through holes, and the knife holder mechanism 4 is located in the central through hole of the worm wheel 38; the thrust bearing 39 is located below the worm wheel 38, and its two ends are respectively connected to the worm wheel 38 and the transmission box 31, so that the worm wheel 38 can rotate smoothly; the central through hole of the transmission box 31, the central through hole of the worm wheel 38, the thrust bearing 39, the knife holder mechanism 4, and the pressure plate 28 are all coaxially arranged to ensure smooth potato cutting.

[0033] Furthermore, the tool holder mechanism 4 includes: a tool disc holder 41, a tool disc 42, and a blade 43; the tool disc holder 41 is fixedly connected to the central through hole of the worm gear 38; the tool disc 42 is fixedly connected to the tool disc holder 41, and the tool disc 42 has a spiral rising disc structure with a radial opening; the blade 43 is fixedly installed at the opening of the tool disc 42; the tool disc holder 41, the tool disc 42, and the central through hole of the worm gear 38 are all coaxially arranged.

[0034] Furthermore, the stabilizing mechanism 5 includes: a baffle 51, a smooth rod 52, a spring 53, and a stabilizing pressure plate 54; the baffle 51 and the stabilizing pressure plate 54 are respectively fixedly connected to the smooth rod 52; the smooth rod 52 is slidably inserted through the transmission box 31; the spring 53 is fitted on the outside of the smooth rod 52, and both ends of the spring 53 abut against the stabilizing pressure plate 54 and the transmission box 31 respectively; under the elastic force of the spring 53, the smooth rod 52 slides radially inward, thereby driving the stabilizing pressure plate 54 to clamp and stabilize the potato, ensuring that the potato does not shift radially during the rotary cutting process.

[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a control system, which is mounted on the support mechanism 1. The control system includes a control panel located on the outside of the support mechanism 1. The control system is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 3 respectively using electrical components to control the coordinated operation of the device.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the working principle of the potato rotary cutter with root-cutting function of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] Place the potato to be slicing at the center of the blade holder mechanism 4; at this time, under the action of the spring 53, the light rod 52 slides radially inward, thereby driving the holding plate 54 to initially clamp and hold the potato, ensuring that the potato does not shift radially during the slicing process.

[0038] When the control panel is operated to start the equipment, the control system first turns on the infrared rangefinder (29) located on the pressure plate bracket (27) to measure the distance between the pressure plate bracket (27) and the cutter head (42) in real time; at the same time, the air pump 210 is started to make auxiliary preparations according to the processing requirements.

[0039] The control system controls the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 to rotate forward, and the power drives the lead screw 22 to rotate in the lead screw seat 23 through the coupling; through the threaded transmission, the lead screw slider 24 and the pressure plate bracket 27 fixedly connected to it are driven to descend smoothly along the guide rail 25 until the pressure plate 28 contacts and tightly presses the top of the potato, forming a coordinated fixation with the holding mechanism 5 in the vertical and circumferential directions.

[0040] At this time, the control system starts the servo motor 32 of the rotating mechanism 3, and its power is transmitted to the large bevel gear shaft 36 and the worm 37 through the meshing and reversal of the small bevel gear 34 and the large bevel gear 35 in sequence; the worm 37 drives the worm wheel 38 to rotate smoothly under the support of the thrust bearing 39.

[0041] The worm gear 38 rotates, synchronously driving the blade holder 41 and the spirally rising blade 42 of the blade holder mechanism 4, which are internally coaxially fixed, to rotate at high speed. The blade 43 located at the opening of the blade 42 continuously spins and cuts the bottom of the potato. At the same time, the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 continues to drive the pressure plate 28 to press down at a matching feed speed. With the help of the circumferential holding pressure plate 54, the potato is continuously pushed towards the blade 43. When the infrared rangefinder 29 detects that the pressure plate support 27 has reached a predetermined distance, the motor 21 stops rotating, and the air pump 210 starts working. The compressed air output by the air pump 210 pushes the remaining root of the potato downward into the blade 43, and the root is completely spin-cut under the drive of the rotating mechanism 3. The cut potato slices are discharged downward from the radial opening of the blade 42.

[0042] After the rotary cutting process is completed (the air pump 210 pumps out all the gas, and the remaining potatoes are completely cut off at the root), the control system controls the servo motor 32 to stop running, and the cutter head 42 stops rotating; then, the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 reverses, driving the pressure plate 28 to rise along the guide rail 25 to reset to the initial position; the motor 21 stops rotating, the air pump 210 and the infrared rangefinder 29 are turned off, completing the entire potato rotary cutting process.

[0043] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, the specific steps of the working method of the potato rotary cutting device with root-cutting function of the present invention are as follows:

[0044] S01. Feeding and holding: Place the potato to be rotary cut at the center of the blade holder mechanism 4; at this time, under the action of the spring 53, the light rod 52 slides radially inward, thereby driving the holding plate 54 to initially clamp and hold the potato, ensuring that the potato does not shift radially during the rotary cutting process;

[0045] S02. Start-up and distance measurement: Operate the control panel to start the equipment. The control system first turns on the infrared rangefinder 29 located on the pressure plate bracket 27 to measure the distance (between the pressure plate bracket 27 and the cutter head 42) in real time. At the same time, the air pump 210 is started to make auxiliary preparations according to the processing requirements.

[0046] S03. Downward pressure, centering, and fixing: The control system controls the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 to rotate forward, and the power drives the lead screw 22 to rotate in the lead screw seat 23 through the coupling; through the threaded transmission, the lead screw slider 24 and the pressure plate bracket 27 fixed thereto are driven to descend smoothly along the guide rail 25 until the pressure plate 28 contacts and tightly presses the top of the potato, forming a coordinated fixation with the holding mechanism 5 in the vertical and circumferential directions;

[0047] S04. Rotary cutting: The control system starts the servo motor 32 of the rotary mechanism 3, and its power is transmitted sequentially to the large bevel gear shaft 36 and the worm 37 through the meshing and reversal of the small bevel gear 34 and the large bevel gear 35; the worm 37 drives the worm wheel 38 to rotate smoothly under the support of the thrust bearing 39;

[0048] S05. Continuous Feeding and Complete Root Cutting: The worm gear 38 rotates, synchronously driving the cutter head 41 and the spirally rising cutter head 42 of the internally coaxially fixed cutter head mechanism 4 to rotate at high speed; the blade 43 located at the opening of the cutter head 42 continuously spins and cuts the bottom of the potato; at the same time, the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 continues to drive the pressure plate 28 to press down at a matching feed speed, and with the circumferential holding pressure plate 54, the potato is continuously pushed towards the blade 43; when the infrared rangefinder 29 detects that the pressure plate support 27 has reached the predetermined position, the motor 21 stops rotating, the air pump 210 starts working, and the compressed air output by the air pump 210 pushes the remaining root of the potato downward into the blade 43, and completes the root cutting under the drive of the rotating mechanism 3. The cut potato slices are discharged downward from the radial opening of the cutter head 42.

[0049] S06. Stop and Reset: After the rotary cutting process is completed (the air pump 210 pumps out all the gas, and the remaining potatoes are completely cut at the root), the control system controls the servo motor 32 to stop running, and the cutter head 42 stops rotating; then, the motor 21 of the lifting mechanism 2 reverses, driving the pressure plate 28 to rise along the guide rail 25 to reset to the initial position; the motor 21 stops rotating, the air pump 210 and the infrared rangefinder 29 are turned off, completing the entire potato rotary cutting process.

Continuous feeding and root cutting: The worm gear (38) rotates, synchronously driving the blade holder (41) and the spirally rising blade (42) of the blade holder mechanism (4) which are coaxially fixed inside to rotate at high speed; the blade (43) located at the opening of the blade (42) continuously spins and cuts the bottom of the potato; at the same time, the motor (21) of the lifting mechanism (2) continues to drive the pressure plate (28) to press down at a matching feed speed, in conjunction with the circumferential holding pressure plate. (54) The potato is continuously pushed towards the blade (43); when the infrared rangefinder (29) detects that the pressure plate bracket (27) has reached the predetermined position, the motor (21) stops rotating, the air pump 210 starts working, and the compressed air output by the air pump 210 pushes the remaining root of the potato downward into the blade 43, and the root is completely cut under the drive of the rotating mechanism 3. The potato slices cut into shape are discharged downward from the radial opening of the blade (42); S06. Stop and Reset: After the rotary cutting process is completed (the air pump (210) pumps out all the gas, and the remaining potatoes are completely cut at the root), the control system controls the servo motor (32) to stop running, and the cutter head (42) stops rotating; then, the motor (21) of the lifting mechanism (2) reverses, driving the pressure plate (28) to rise along the guide rail (25) to reset to the initial position; the motor (21) stops rotating, the air pump 210 and the infrared rangefinder 29 are turned off, and the entire potato rotary cutting process is completed.
