Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing, in particular to a dicing machine with a cleaning function. Background Art

[0002] A dicer is a common food processing equipment that can quickly cut vegetables, fruits and meat into dices. It is mostly used in the production of dehydrated vegetables in packaged fast food. The existing dicer can refer to the Chinese patent document with the announcement number CN213859501U. The above patent document discloses a vegetable cutter and dicer, which mainly includes a rotating drum and a dicer assembly. The material is fed from the feed port, and the rotating drum drives the material to rotate. Using the centrifugal force of the object, the dicer assembly first cuts the material into slices, then cuts it into strips by a shredder, and finally cuts it into the required cubes or cuboids by a cross-cutting knife.

[0003] However, before using the above-mentioned dicer, it is usually necessary to clean the fruits and vegetables first and then put them into the dicer to prevent the impurities such as sand, soil and so on mixed in during picking from getting stuck in the dicer and affecting the operation of the equipment, and to make the fruits and vegetables cleaner and more hygienic. Therefore, there are problems of cumbersome steps and inconvenient operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to enable the dicer to have a cleaning function and improve the automation level of the dicer, the present application provides a dicer with a cleaning function.

[0005] The present application provides a dicing machine with a cleaning function, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A dicing machine with a cleaning function comprises a frame, a driving motor, a dicing assembly and a cleaning assembly, wherein a material barrel is provided on one side of the frame, a material feed port is provided on one side of the material barrel, a turntable is rotatably connected to one side of the material barrel, the turntable and the material barrel are surrounded to form a containing bin, the driving motor is used to drive the turntable to rotate, a material channel connecting the containing bin and the dicing assembly is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the material barrel, the width of the material channel is smaller than the material size, and the cleaning assembly is used to spray water into the containing bin to rinse the material.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a cleaning component is set to spray water into the storage bin to wash the material, and the turntable rotates to generate centrifugal force on the material, which is convenient for cleaning the material. When in use, the turntable and the cleaning component can be started first for washing, and then the dicing component can be turned on for dicing. The storage bin has multiple uses. After cleaning, there is no need to take out the material, and it can automatically enter the subsequent dicing process, so that the dicing machine also has a cleaning function, which improves the automation of the dicing machine.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes a high-pressure nozzle and a water inlet pipe, the high-pressure nozzle is located in the containing bin, one end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the high-pressure nozzle, and the other end of the water inlet pipe is connected to an external water source.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the water inlet pipe is connected to the water source, and the high-pressure nozzle can pressurize the water column, which makes it easier to rinse away impurities such as mud on the surface of the material, thereby quickly cleaning the material.

[0010] Furthermore, the high-pressure nozzle is an unpowered rotating nozzle.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the unpowered rotating nozzle can automatically rotate by utilizing the reaction force generated by the water pressure impact, thereby expanding the spray range of the high-pressure nozzle and making the material be washed more evenly.

[0012] Furthermore, the feed port is provided on an end surface of the material barrel away from the turntable, the feed port is covered with a sealed door, the sealed door is provided with a mounting hole, and the water inlet pipe is detachably inserted into the mounting hole.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the water inlet pipe can be detachably installed on the closed door for easy replacement and maintenance, and is far away from the turntable to avoid the cleaning component from interfering with the rotation of the turntable as much as possible.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting hole is a threaded hole, the outer circumference of the water inlet pipe is provided with threads, and the water inlet pipe is threadedly matched with the mounting hole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection has better waterproof performance compared with other connection methods such as interference fit and snap fit.

[0016] Furthermore, the enclosed door is provided with a transparent window.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a transparent window is installed on the closed door, which makes it easier to observe the operation status inside the storage bin, so that it can be shut down and repaired in time if any problem occurs.

[0018] Furthermore, the dicing assembly includes a slicing knife, a shredding roller knife and a cross-cutting roller knife. The slicing knife is fixedly connected to the frame. The shredding roller knife and the cross-cutting roller knife are rotatably arranged downstream of the slicing knife in sequence. The slicing knife is adjacent to the material channel.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the slicing knife is close to the material channel, which can shorten the displacement distance of the material after leaving the storage bin as much as possible, so as to keep the position and shape fixed during cutting, thereby making the finished particles after cutting more uniform and regular.

[0020] Furthermore, the material barrel is a cylinder, and the slicing knife is tangent to the barrel wall of the material barrel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the slicing knife is tangent to the wall of the circular material barrel. When cleaning, the turntable rotates forward, and the material moves centrifugally along the blade direction of the slicing knife. At this time, the slicing knife will not cut the material, so that the material can be fully cleaned; when dicing, the turntable rotates in the opposite direction, and the material moves centrifugally along the blade direction of the slicing knife, thereby cutting the material into slices. Therefore, the use function of the dicing machine can be switched by changing the rotation direction of the turntable, and the cleaning or dicing mode can be freely selected.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of anvils are fixedly connected to the turntable, and the plurality of anvils are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the turntable.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the anvils installed in a ring on the turntable can withstand the centrifugal force and generate thrust during slicing, thereby accelerating the slicing speed of the material.

[0024] Furthermore, a drainage hole is opened at the bottom of the material barrel and is equipped with a sealing plug.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the drainage hole can prevent sewage from accumulating under the material barrel and discharge sewage with impurities after cleaning the material, so that the material is cleaner during cutting, so as to prevent the buoyancy of the sewage from affecting the centrifugal movement of the material.

[0026] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. The cleaning component is set to spray water into the storage bin to wash the material, and the rotating disc rotates to generate centrifugal force on the material, which is convenient for cleaning the material. When in use, the rotating disc and the cleaning component can be started first for washing, and then the dicing component can be turned on for dicing. The storage bin has multiple uses. After cleaning, there is no need to take out the material, and it can automatically enter the subsequent dicing process, so that the dicer also has a cleaning function, which improves the automation of the dicer;

[0028] 2. By setting up a non-powered rotating nozzle, the reaction force generated by the water pressure impact is used to automatically rotate, thereby expanding the spray range of the high-pressure nozzle and making the material wash more evenly;

[0029] 3. The function of the dicer can be switched by changing the direction of rotation of the turntable. You can freely choose the cleaning or dicing mode so that the slicing knife is tangent to the wall of the circular material cylinder. When cleaning, the turntable rotates forward and the material moves centrifugally along the direction of the slicing knife's blade. At this time, the slicing knife will not cut the material so that the material can be fully cleaned; when dicing, the turntable rotates in the opposite direction and the material moves centrifugally along the direction of the slicing knife's blade, thereby cutting the material into slices.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-4 The technical solution of this application is described clearly and completely.

[0037] The embodiment of the present application discloses a dicing machine with a cleaning function.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A dicing machine with a cleaning function mainly comprises a frame 1, a driving motor 2, a dicing assembly 3 and a cleaning assembly 4. A material barrel 5 is provided on the frame 1. One end surface of the material barrel 5 is open and covered with a turntable 6. The driving motor 2 drives the turntable 6 to rotate. The material barrel 5 and the turntable 6 are surrounded to form a containing bin 7. The cleaning assembly 4 can spray water into the containing bin 7 and cooperate with the turntable 6 to roll and clean the material. The cleaned material is then cut by the dicing assembly 3.

[0039] The realization of the cleaning and cutting functions utilizes the turntable 6 to drive the material to do centrifugal motion. After cleaning, there is no need to take out the material, and it can automatically enter the subsequent dicing process, so that the dicing machine also has a cleaning function, thereby improving the automation of the dicing machine.

[0040] Since the dicer is provided with a cleaning assembly 4, each component is preferably made of waterproof stainless steel material.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3The cross section of the material barrel 5 is made circular along with the turntable 6 and is welded and fixed to the frame 1. A feed port 51 is provided on the end surface of the material barrel 5 away from the turntable 6. A material channel 52 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the material barrel 5 to connect the containing bin 7 and the dicing assembly 3. The opening of the material channel 52 causes the outer peripheral wall of the material barrel 5 to be broken into an incomplete ring, so that the width of the material channel 52 is smaller than the size of the material, which can facilitate the blocking and fixing of the material, so as to prevent the fruits and vegetables from rolling out of the containing bin 7 when the material is cleaned.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , a drainage hole 53 is provided at the bottom of the material barrel 5, and a sealing plug 54 is provided. The drainage hole 53 can prevent sewage from accumulating under the material barrel 5, and discharge the sewage with impurities after cleaning the material, so that the material is cleaner when cutting, so as to prevent the buoyancy of the sewage from affecting the centrifugal movement of the material. The feed inlet 51 is covered with a closed door 8 that can be opened by rotation, and a transparent window 82 is embedded in the center of the closed door 8, which can make it easier for the user to observe the operation of the storage bin 7 so that it can be shut down and repaired in time if there is a problem. A mounting hole 81 is provided in the center of the transparent window 82 on the closed door 8, and the cleaning component can be installed and fixed through the mounting hole 81. Four anvils 9 are welded on the inner side of the turntable 6, and the four anvils 9 are arranged in a circular array on the surface of the turntable 6. The anvils 9 are made of steel with high mechanical strength, which can withstand the centrifugal force generated by the impact of the material, protect the material barrel 5, and can also generate thrust during slicing, thereby accelerating the slicing speed of the material.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 The cleaning component 4 includes a high-pressure nozzle and a water inlet pipe 42. The high-pressure nozzle is located in the accommodating bin 7. One end of the water inlet pipe 42 is connected to the high-pressure nozzle, and the end of the water inlet pipe 42 away from the high-pressure nozzle can be connected to an external water source. The outer periphery of the water inlet pipe 42 is engraved with threads, and the mounting hole 81 is a threaded hole. The water inlet pipe 42 and the mounting hole 81 are threaded. Compared with other connection methods such as interference fit and snap fit, threaded connection has better waterproof performance. The high-pressure nozzle preferably uses an unpowered rotating nozzle 41, which can automatically rotate by utilizing the reaction force generated by the water pressure impact, thereby expanding the spray range of the high-pressure nozzle and making the material wash more evenly.

[0044] Reference Figure 3The dicing assembly 3 includes a slicing knife 31, a slicing roller knife 32 and a cross-cutting roller knife 33. The slicing knife 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The slicing roller knife 32 and the cross-cutting roller knife 33 are rotatably arranged downstream of the slicing knife 31 in sequence. The dicing assembly 3 also includes a motor for driving the slicing roller knife 32 and the cross-cutting roller knife 33 to rotate. The blade of the slicing knife 31 faces upward, so that the slicing knife 31 is close to the material channel 52 to shorten the displacement distance of the material after leaving the storage bin 7 as much as possible, so as to keep the position and shape fixed during cutting, so that the finished particles after cutting can be more uniform and regular. The slicing knife 31 is equal in length to the material channel 52 and is tangent to the wall of the material barrel 5, which does not affect cleaning and is convenient for slicing.

[0045] Implementation principle: When cleaning, the high-pressure nozzle sprays water into the storage bin 7, the turntable 6 rotates forward, and the material moves centrifugally along the blade direction of the slicing knife 31. At this time, the slicing knife 31 will not cut the material, so that the material can be fully cleaned; when dicing, the turntable 6 rotates in the opposite direction, and the material moves centrifugally along the blade direction of the slicing knife 31, thereby cutting the material into slices. Therefore, the use function of the dicing machine can be switched by changing the rotation direction of the turntable 6, and the cleaning or dicing mode can be freely selected. After cutting, the diced fruits and vegetables or diced meat are discharged through the discharge port 11.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made by ordinary technicians in this field based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application without making any creative work should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
