DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a potato processing slicing device includes a device housing 1, a driving motor 2 and a conveying roller 3, wherein the driving motor 2 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the device housing 1, and the conveying roller 3 is rotatably installed on the bottom inner wall of the device housing 1, and an electric cleaning brush 4 and a cleaning nozzle are installed on the top inner wall of the device housing 1. An image recognition camera 5 and a driving mechanism 7 are also installed in the device housing 1. A cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance is arranged in the inner cavity of the device housing 1, and the cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance is located between the driving mechanism 7 and the flushing nozzle 11. A collecting box 8 is fixed on the outer wall of the device housing 1.

[0023] First, place the device housing 1 at the place of use, start the motor, and install a driving gear 301 on the output shaft of the driving motor 2. A driven gear 302 is sleeved on the outer wall of one end of the conveying roller 3. The driving gear 301 is meshed and connected with the driven gear 302. The conveying rollers 3 are connected by the driven gear 302, which drives the conveying rollers 3 to rotate, so that the potatoes move forward. Then, the potatoes are cleaned by the electric cleaning brush 4, and the potatoes with uncleaned surfaces are pushed out by the image recognition camera 5 and the pushing mechanism 7. The potatoes are processed by the staff. When they reach the cutting baffle 10, they are cut by the cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance. Finally, the flushing nozzle 11 cleans the starch on the surface of the potato slices and the potatoes are discharged from the discharge port.

[0024] The device housing 1 consists of a feed housing and a discharge housing that are connected. The electric cleaning brush 4 and the flushing nozzle 11 are respectively installed in the feed housing and the discharge housing. When the potatoes roll between the electric cleaning brushes 4, the rotating brushes will clean the dirt on the surface of the potatoes. After the potato slices are cut, the flushing nozzle 11 will flush the surface starch to prevent browning.

[0025] The image recognition camera 5 is located behind the electric cleaning brush 4. An array of equidistant camera holes 501 is provided below the image recognition camera 5. When the camera recognizes that there are potatoes that are not cleaned properly, it transmits a control signal to the drive motor 2 and the driving mechanism 7.

[0026] The pushing mechanism 7 is located below and behind the image recognition camera 5, and is composed of a telescopic rod and a push plate. The telescopic rod and the push plate are connected and fixed to the inner wall of the device housing 1. A discharge hole 6 is provided on the device housing 1 on one side of the pushing mechanism 7. After the drive motor 2 and the pushing mechanism 7 receive the signal from the image recognition camera 5, the drive motor 2 and the conveying roller 3 stop running, and the pushing mechanism 7 starts working to push a row of uncleaned potatoes into the collection box 8 for inspection and processing by workers. After the push rod is recovered, the drive motor 2 and the conveying roller 3 continue to work to move the potatoes forward.

[0027] The cutting table and the rotatable cutting baffle 10 are fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the device housing 1, and are located below the cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance. The potatoes move onto the cutting table and are blocked by the rotatable cutting baffle 10, waiting to be cut.

[0028] The cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the device housing 1. The cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance includes a tool housing and two sets of telescopic blade mechanisms. The two sets of telescopic blade mechanisms are arranged crosswise. The telescopic blade mechanisms include a cutting blade 903, a cutting handle 902 and a cutting telescopic rod 901. One end of the cutting blade 903 is fixed to the cutting handle 902. The upper surface of the cutting handle 902 is fixedly connected to one end of the cutting telescopic rod 901. The other end of the cutting telescopic rod 901 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the device housing 1. After the cutting baffle 10 blocks the potatoes, the two sets of telescopic blades in the cutting assembly 9 with adjustable cutting distance can be controlled by the cutting telescopic rod 901 to cut downwards. The specific thickness is set according to demand. When one set runs downwards, the slices are thicker, and when the two sets run at the same time, the slices are thinner. Thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the thickness of potato slices.

[0029] The rotatable cutting baffle 10 is opened, and the cut potato slices are washed away from the surface starch by the washing nozzle 11 of the discharge housing part to prevent the potato slices from browning, and then discharged from the discharge port.
