[0036] See Figures 1-9 As shown, the present utility model provides a vegetable cutter, which includes a first bracket 1, a second bracket 2, a fixed knife 100, a movable knife 200, and a driving mechanism 300.

[0037] A first linear bearing 3 is installed on the first bracket 1. The second bracket 2 is spaced from the first bracket 1, and a second linear bearing 4 is provided on the second bracket 2. The fixed knife 100 is located between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, and both ends of the fixed knife 100 are fixedly connected to the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 respectively. The movable knife 200 is located between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. One end of the movable knife 200 is provided with a first sliding rod 5, and the other end of the movable knife 200 is provided with a second sliding rod 6 parallel to the first sliding rod 5. The first sliding rod 5 and the second sliding rod 6 are respectively inserted into the first linear bearing 3 and the second linear bearing 4. The first sliding rod 5 can slide within the first linear bearing 3, and the second sliding rod 6 can slide within the second linear bearing 4. The driving mechanism 300 is connected to the movable knife 200 and is used to drive the movable knife 200 to perform a reciprocating linear motion along the axis direction of the first sliding rod 5. The fixed knife 100 is provided with first saw teeth 801, and the movable knife 200 is provided with second saw teeth 901. Both the first saw teeth 801 and the second saw teeth 901 are arranged along the axis direction of the first sliding rod 5.

[0038] The vegetable cutter provided by the present utility model is mainly used for harvesting vegetables and needs to be used in cooperation with a conveyor when harvesting vegetables. Both the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be processed from metal plates. A first conveyor 20 is placed between the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the first conveyor 20, so that the fixed knife 100 and the movable knife 200 straddle above the first conveyor 20. A second conveyor 21 is provided above the first conveyor 20. See Figure 9 As shown.

[0039] In use, the tray 22 containing the vegetables to be harvested is placed on the first conveyor 20. The first conveyor 20 operates to drive the tray 22 to slowly move towards the fixed knife 100. The drive mechanism 300 drives the movable knife 200 to rapidly perform a reciprocating linear motion. During the process of the tray 22 moving on the first conveyor 20, the stalks of the vegetables are pushed between the first sawtooth 801 and the second sawtooth 901. The second sawtooth 901 moves relative to the first sawtooth 801, and under the interaction of the first sawtooth 801 and the second sawtooth 901, the stalks of the vegetables are cut off. The cut vegetables are poured onto the second conveyor 21 and are conveyed by the second conveyor 21 to other workstations.

[0040] See Figure 6 As shown, the fixed knife 100 in the present utility model includes a first knife rest 7 and a first knife plate 8. Both ends of the first knife rest 7 are fixedly connected to the first support 1 and the second support 2 respectively. The first knife plate 8 is detachably connected to the first knife rest 7 through fasteners such as bolts. The first sawtooth 801 is provided on the first knife plate 8. The first sawtooth 801 is located at the edge of the first knife plate 8 and is arranged in a "one" shape along the length direction of the first knife plate 8.

[0041] See Figure 7 As shown, the movable knife 200 in the present utility model includes a second knife rest 10, a second knife plate 9 and a connecting piece 11. The first knife plate 8 is located between the first knife rest 7 and the second knife rest 10. One end of the first slide bar 5 is connected to one end of the second knife rest 10. The second knife plate 9 is located between the first knife plate 8 and the second knife rest 10. The second knife plate 9 is detachably connected to the second knife rest 10 through fasteners such as bolts. The distance between the first knife plate 8 and the second knife plate 9 is about 0.5 mm. The connecting piece 11 is connected to the other end of the second knife rest 10. The second slide bar 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 11.

[0042] In the present utility model, by making the first knife plate 8 detachably connected to the first knife rest 7 and the second knife plate 9 detachably connected to the second knife rest 10, the replacement operation of the tool becomes simple, which is beneficial to later maintenance. Moreover, the first knife rest 7 and the second knife rest 10 also enable the first knife plate 8 and the second knife plate 9 to have a high flatness.

[0043] In the present utility model, the vegetable cutter further includes a third linear bearing connected to the second support 2. The drive mechanism 300 includes a base 12, a motor 13, a wheel disc 14, a lever 15, a pulling member 16 and a third slide bar 17. As Figure 1As shown, the base 12 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 2. The motor 13 is fixed above the base 12, and the rotating shaft of the motor 13 is perpendicular to the first sliding rod 5. The center of the disc 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 13. When the motor 13 is powered on, the rotating shaft of the motor 13 drives the disc 14 to rotate at the same angular velocity. The lever 15 is cylindrical and parallel to the rotating shaft of the motor 13, and there is a spacing between the axis of the lever 15 and the rotating shaft of the motor 13. The pulling member 16 is provided with a sliding groove 1601, and the length direction of the sliding groove 1601 is perpendicular to the first sliding rod 5 and the lever 15. One end of the lever 15 is inserted into the sliding groove 1601. The third sliding rod 17 is parallel to the first sliding rod 5 and inserted into the third linear bearing. One end of the third sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the pulling member 16, and the other end of the third sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting member 11. When the motor 13 rotates, the rotating shaft of the motor 13 drives the disc 14 and the lever 15 to rotate. The lever 15 slides up and down in the sliding groove 1601 and drives the pulling member 16 to perform a reciprocating linear motion. The pulling member 16 drives the third sliding rod 17 and the movable knife 200 to perform a reciprocating linear motion.

[0044] In the present utility model, the lever 15 is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the length direction of the sliding groove 1601 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The first linear bearing 3 and the second bracket 2 are respectively located on both sides of the first bracket 1. The second linear bearing 4 and the first bracket 1 are respectively located on both sides of the second bracket 2. The third linear bearing and the first bracket 1 are respectively located on both sides of the second bracket 2. For the convenience of installation, in the present utility model, the axis of the first sliding rod 5 is collinear with the axis of the second sliding rod 6.

[0045] See Figure 8 As shown, the vegetable cutter further includes a protective cover 18 connected to the first bracket 1, and the first linear bearing 3 is located in the enclosed space formed by the protective cover 18 and the first bracket 1. The vegetable cutter further includes a dust-proof plate 19 connected to the top of the second bracket 2, and the second linear bearing 4 and the driving mechanism 300 are both located below the dust-proof plate 19. The provided protective cover 18 and dust-proof plate 19 can prevent dust from falling on the sliding rod, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the equipment and improving the safety at the same time.

[0046] The vegetable cutter provided by the present utility model can be used in modern agriculture and cooperate with the existing conveyor to realize the mechanized harvesting of vegetables (especially sprouted vegetables), which is beneficial to improving the harvesting efficiency of vegetables and reducing the labor cost at the same time. In addition, the vegetable cutter also has the advantages of simple structure, easy processing and good operation stability.

[0047] So far, the embodiments of the present application have been described in detail. In order to avoid obscuring the concept of the present application, some details well known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can clearly understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
