Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of agricultural food processing, in particular to a potato slicer. Background Art

[0002] Potatoes refer to food ingredients made from root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, and yams. Potato foods are not only delicious and have a variety of tastes, but are also rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They can also be used as raw materials for brewing and are deeply loved by people.

[0003] For the convenience of storage, harvested potato foods are usually sliced ​​using a slicer and then dried. However, large sand and gravel may adhere to the surface of the harvested potato grains, which may easily damage the slicer's blades during slicing. Due to cost considerations, ordinary growers usually do not buy machines simply to remove sand and gravel. Manual removal is usually required, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the utility model provides a potato slicer, which can assist in removing sand and gravel on the surface of potato food when slicing.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A potato slicer comprises: a frame with a hopper mounted on the upper end, a baffle plate provided on the discharge side of the frame corresponding to the hopper, the baffle plate and the hopper forming a material storage space, a cutting opening provided on the baffle plate corresponding to the discharge position at the bottom of the hopper, a carrying rod provided on the upper end of the frame on one side of the hopper, the carrying rods arranged at intervals; a cutter assembly rotatably mounted on the frame and located on the side of the baffle plate facing away from the hopper; a driving mechanism mounted on the frame and transmission-connected to the cutter assembly for driving the cutter assembly to rotate, thereby slicing the material located at the cutting opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the cutter assembly includes: a cutter disc rotatably mounted on a frame, the cutter disc having a feed port; a blade fixedly mounted on a side of the cutter disc facing the hopper, having a blade, and a feed gap between the blade and the edge of the feed port for the sheet material cut by the blade to pass through.

[0008] Furthermore, there is a tailing gap between the blade and the baffle, and the tailing gap is used for allowing tailings to fall.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the frame, one end of the rotating shaft passes through the baffle and is coaxially provided with a torque output section and a threaded section in sequence outward, and the diameters of the rotating shaft, torque output section and threaded section decrease in sequence; the center of the cutter disc has a sleeve hole adapted to the torque output section so that it is sleeved on the torque output section and can rotate synchronously with the torque output section, and the threaded section is threadedly connected to a limiting nut to achieve axial fixation of the cutter disc.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a support frame below the rotating shaft, the support frame is provided with a bearing seat, and the bearing seat is installed with a bearing for the rotating shaft to pass through.

[0011] Furthermore, the output shaft of the driving mechanism is provided with a driving wheel, and a driven wheel is installed at one end of the rotating shaft away from the cutter disc, and the driven wheel is drivingly connected to the driving wheel.

[0012] Furthermore, the drop hopper includes an inclined plate and side plates installed on both sides of the inclined plate, and the upper ends of the inclined plate and the side plates are detachably connected to the frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the inclined plate has mounting holes on both side edges, and the side plates have L-shaped limit blocks that are inserted into the mounting holes.

[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The material storage space is used to store materials, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the cutter assembly to rotate, so as to slice the materials at the cutting mouth. When slicing, potato materials with sand and gravel on the surface can be placed on the carrying rod. Since the driving mechanism will generate vibration when working, the vibration will be transmitted to the carrying rod, and the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material on the carrying rod will be vibrated and dispersed, so that the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material will fall off automatically or only need to be manually cleaned slightly. The materials with the sand and gravel on the surface are then placed in the material storage space for subsequent slicing, and the machine's own vibration is used to assist in cleaning the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material, which greatly improves the processing efficiency and reduces the workload.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A potato slicer in a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a hopper 200, a cutter assembly 300 and a driving mechanism 400.

[0041] A hopper 200 is installed at the upper end of the frame 100. A baffle 110 is provided on the discharging side of the frame 100 corresponding to the hopper 200. The baffle 110 and the hopper 200 form a material storage space 111. The baffle 110 is provided with a cutting opening 112 corresponding to the discharging position at the bottom of the hopper 200. A carrying rod 120 is provided on the upper end of the frame 100 on one side of the hopper 200. The carrying rods 120 are arranged at intervals so that the fallen sand and gravel can fall out from the gap. The cutter assembly 300 is rotatably installed on the frame 100 and is located on the side of the baffle 110 facing away from the hopper 200; the driving mechanism 400 is installed on the frame 100, and the driving mechanism 400 is transmission-connected with the cutter assembly 300, and is used to drive the cutter assembly 300 to rotate, so as to slice the material located at the cutting opening 112.

[0042] The utility model provides a potato slicer, wherein the material storage space 111 is used to store materials, and the driving mechanism 400 is used to drive the cutter assembly 300 to rotate, so as to slice the materials located at the cutting opening 112; during slicing, the potato material with sand and gravel on the surface can be placed on the carrying rod 120, and since the driving mechanism 400 generates vibration when working, the vibration will be transmitted to the carrying rod 120, and the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material on the carrying rod 120 will be vibrated and dispersed, so that the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material will automatically fall off or only need to be slightly cleaned manually. Usually, the potato material will be planted in relatively loose land, and the surface adhesion is not great. Usually, vibration can basically clean up the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material. If a few are not cleaned up, they can be cleaned up manually, and the labor is greatly reduced. The machine's own vibration is used to assist in cleaning the sand and gravel on the surface of the potato material, which greatly improves the processing efficiency and reduces the labor.

[0043] Reference Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments of the utility model, the cutter assembly 300 includes a cutter disc 310 and a blade 320. The cutter disc 310 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100, and the cutter disc 310 has a feed port 311; the blade 320 is fixedly mounted on the side of the cutter disc 310 facing the hopper 200. Specifically, the blade 320 and the cutter disc 310 are provided with corresponding holes to be connected and fixed by fasteners. The blade 320 has a blade 321, and the blade 321 and the edge of the feed port 311 have a feed gap 322 for the sheet material cut by the blade 321 to pass through. When slicing, the material at the cutting port 112 will partially extend out of the baffle 110 and abut against the cutter disc 310. The rotation of the blade 321 will cut off the material between the cutter disc 310 and the blade 321. In order to improve the slicing efficiency, the feed port 311 and the blade 320 are usually arranged in a circle, so that multiple slicing can be achieved in one rotation cycle.

[0044] Reference Figures 4 to 6In a further embodiment of the utility model, there is a tail material gap 323 between the blade 320 and the baffle 110, and the tail material gap 323 is used for tail materials to fall. Usually, after the material is sliced ​​for many times, there will be tail materials left, and the thickness of the tail materials is not enough for slicing and no longer needs to be sliced. Therefore, the tail material gap 323 is set so that the last remaining material tail materials will automatically fall out of the tail material gap 323, and will not block and affect the smooth slicing of subsequent materials.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 to Figure 4 In a further embodiment of the utility model, a rotating shaft 130 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100, one end of the rotating shaft 130 passes through the baffle 110 and is coaxially provided with a torque output section 131 and a threaded section 132 outward in sequence, and the diameters of the rotating shaft 130, the torque output section 131 and the threaded section 132 are successively reduced; the center of the cutter disc 310 has a sleeve hole 312 adapted to the torque output section 131 so as to be sleeved on the torque output section 131 and can rotate synchronously with the torque output section 131, and the cross-sections of the sleeve hole 312 and the torque output section 131 are non-circular, and can be polygonal or other non-circular contours, so as to achieve torque transmission. The threaded section 132 is threadedly connected to a limiting nut 133 to achieve axial fixation of the cutter disc 310, and the axial fixation of the cutter disc 310 is achieved by using the shaft shoulder formed by the limiting nut 133, the rotating shaft 130 and the torque output section 131, so that its axial position is stable and the slice thickness is consistent. In addition, the cutter disc 310 is also easy to disassemble and replace, and is convenient for maintenance.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 In a further embodiment of the utility model, the frame 100 is provided with a support frame 140 below the rotating shaft 130, and the support frame 140 is provided with a bearing seat 141, and a bearing for the rotating shaft 130 to pass through is installed on the bearing seat 141, thereby achieving support and rotatable installation of the rotating shaft 130, and utilizing the bearing to reduce the frictional resistance of the rotating shaft 130, thereby reducing heat generation and energy consumption.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the output shaft of the driving mechanism 400 is provided with a driving wheel 410, and a driven wheel 134 is installed at the end of the rotating shaft 130 away from the cutter disc 310, and the driven wheel 134 is connected to the driving wheel 410 in a transmission manner, thereby realizing torque transmission and realizing that the driving mechanism 400 drives the rotating shaft 130 to rotate; the driving mechanism 400 can be a motor or an internal combustion engine; the driving wheel 410 and the driven wheel 134 can be transmitted through a synchronous belt or a transmission chain. Of course, the driving wheel 410 and the driven wheel 134 can also be a pair of meshing gears to realize rotation transmission.

The discharge side of the drop hopper 200 is the inclined lower side of the inclined plate 210, and the material will roll downward along the inclined direction of the inclined plate 210 and be sliced ​​and discharged. Specifically, the upper ends of the inclined plate 210 and the side plates 220 are both provided with connecting plates 230, and the connecting plates 230 and the frame 100 are provided with corresponding holes to be connected by fasteners. The fasteners can be screws or bolts, so as to realize the installation of the drop hopper 200, and can be disassembled for transportation during transportation. In addition, the frame 100 can also be configured as a plurality of rods spliced ​​by fasteners, which can be disassembled during transportation and assembled after arriving at the place of use, so as to facilitate transportation.

Figure 7 As shown, the side panel 220 is in the installed state, and one side of the L-shaped limit block 221 abuts against the back side of the inclined plate 210, thereby playing a certain positioning and limiting role in the state, and then the side panel 220 is fixed to the frame 100 by fasteners to achieve a stable position during use; when it needs to be disassembled for transportation, the side panel 220 can be folded up to reach the folded state, that is, Fig.10 Specifically, the L-shaped limit block 221 includes an extension block 222 fixedly connected to the side plate 220 and a positioning block 223 vertically connected to the extension block 222. When installed, the positioning block 223 abuts against the back side of the inclined plate 210, so that the side plate 220 can no longer continue to open outward, which has a limiting effect, thereby facilitating subsequent overall fixing on the rack 100. During installation, the positioning block 223 of the L-shaped limit block 221 is first embedded in the mounting hole 211, and the L-shaped limit block 221 can rotate and move in the mounting hole 211, thereby realizing the state switching of the side plate 220.
