Description

[0002] In daily life, slicing machines are often used to slice fruits, vegetables, etc.

[0003] The following problems exist in the common down-pressing slicing machines on the market at present: The cutting surface of the materials cut by the cutting tools of the existing slicing machines is uneven (wavy), and the thicker the material, the more obvious it is, resulting in a low yield of the finished products. The cutting surface of the materials cut by the cutting tools of the existing slicing machines is uneven (wavy). Specifically, because the existing slicing machines cut materials by adjusting the angle between the cutting tool and the cutter head, making the cutting edge of the cutting tool form a protrusion on the cutter head, and cutting the materials when the cutter head drives the cutting tool to rotate at a high speed. Since the cutting edge of the cutting tool and the material form an inclined obtuse angle, the whole slicing process is more scraping rather than cutting, which will result in an uneven cutting surface of the materials. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and detailed implementation manners. As Figures 1-9 shown, a self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device includes a frame 1 and a slicing mechanism 3. A material bin 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and the slicing mechanism 3 is arranged on the material bin 2. The self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device further includes a water circulation spraying mechanism 4 arranged on the frame 1 and used for cleaning the slicing mechanism 3. The slicing mechanism 3 includes a feeding component 31, a cutter head 32 and a cutting tool 33. The feeding component 31 is rotatably arranged at the feeding port of the material bin 2, the cutter head 32 is rotatably arranged inside the material bin 2. A discharging opening 321 and a slicing groove 322 are sequentially arranged on the cutter head 32. One side of the cutting tool 33 is detachably connected at the discharging opening 321, and the other side is located above the slicing groove 322. The upper surface of the cutting tool 33 is flush with the upper surface of the cutter head 32. The slicing groove 322 has a slope, and the slope of the slicing groove 322 gradually becomes steeper from the end of the slicing groove 322 close to the cutting tool 33 to the end of the slicing groove 322 far from the cutting tool 33. There is a slicing gap between the lower surface of the cutting tool 33 and the slicing groove 322.

[0033] In this embodiment, the slicing mechanism 3 of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device slices different materials (such as apples, pears, etc.). The materials enter the cutter disc 32 through the feeding component 31. The rotation of the cutter disc 32 drives the rotation of the cutter 33, and the cutter 33 slices the materials. The sliced materials enter the inside of the storage bin 2 through the slicing slot 322 and the blanking port 321. Subsequently, the storage bin 2 discharges the sliced materials. The existing slicing machines still have the following problems. First, the sprayed spray water of the slicing machine often adopts the design of a straight pipe flowing by gravity. Due to the high-speed rotation of the cutter disc of the slicing machine, often the spray water has not flowed by gravity to the cutter disc or / and the cutting surface of the cutter before it is thrown out of the cutter disc, and it cannot achieve the purpose of cleaning, lubricating, and preventing slice adhesion. Second, the entire slicing process of the slicing machine requires continuous water supply to prevent slice adhesion. And after each slicing operation is completed, it is necessary to manually disassemble the equipment to clean the cutter disc, which not only wastes water resources but also consumes labor. At the same time, frequent disassembly will also cause component wear and a decrease in slicing accuracy. The function of the water circulation spray mechanism 4 is to spray and rinse the rotating cutter disc 32 and the cutter 33. One is to prevent the materials from adhering to each other, the second is to prevent the materials from adhering to the cutter disc 32 or / and the cutter 33, and the third is to be able to automatically clean and clean after the slicing operation is completed. And the water circulation spray mechanism 4 can reuse the spray water, effectively reducing the waste of water resources.

[0034] Because the cutting surface of the materials cut by the cutter of the existing slicing machine is uneven (wavy), specifically because the way the existing slicing machine cuts the materials is by adjusting the angle between the cutter and the cutter disc, making the cutting edge of the cutter form a protrusion on the cutter disc. When the cutter disc drives the cutter to rotate at a high speed, the materials are cut. Since the cutting edge and the materials form an inclined obtuse angle, the entire slicing process is more about scraping rather than cutting, which will result in an uneven cutting surface of the materials.

[0035] First, the structure of the cutter disc 32 is improved. Refer to Figure 4 , a sunken slicing slot 322 is designed on the cutter disc 32. After the cutter 33 is installed on the cutter disc 32, the upper surface of the cutter 33 is flush with the upper surface of the cutter disc 32, which makes the cutting edge of the cutter 33 also flush with the upper surface of the cutter disc 32. The cutting edge and the materials always form a vertical angle. When slicing, the materials pass through the height difference (i.e., the slicing gap) formed between the slicing slot 322 and the cutter 33, thereby ensuring that the cutting surface of the materials remains flat, improving the overall effect and the yield of the sliced materials.

[0036] And after the cutter 33 is installed on the cutter head 32, the slicing gap between the cutter 33 and the slicing groove 322 determines the slicing thickness of the material. If the long cutter 33 is installed on the cutter head 32, since the slope of the slicing groove 322 gradually becomes steeper from the end close to the cutter 33 to the end far from the cutter 33 of the slicing groove 322, the slicing gap between the cutter 33 and the slicing groove 322 becomes smaller, so the thickness of the flaky material obtained becomes smaller. Similarly, if the short cutter 33 is installed on the cutter head 32, at this time the slicing gap between the cutter 33 and the slicing groove 322 becomes larger, so the thickness of the flaky material obtained becomes larger. The length of the cutter 33 can be changed according to requirements. By replacing cutters 33 of different lengths, different slicing thicknesses can be obtained, and finally the adjustable slicing thickness of the material is realized.

[0037] As an implementable mode, refer to Figure 4 , a connecting block 3211 is arranged on the side of the material discharge port 321 far from the slicing groove 322, and one end of the cutter 33 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 3211. In this embodiment, screw holes for fixedly connecting with bolts are arranged at both the connecting block 3211 and one end of the cutter 33.

[0038] As an implementable mode, refer to Figure 4 , the slicing groove 322 includes a second end face 322b at the bottom and a first end face 322a and a third end face 322c on the side. The second end face 322b has a slope, and the slope of the second end face 322b gradually becomes steeper from the end close to the cutter 33 to the end far from the cutter 33 of the second end face 322b. The other end of the cutter 33 is located above the second end face 322b and there is a slicing gap between it and the second end face 322b. The slicing groove 322 forms a sunken structure through the design of the first end face 322a, the second end face 322b and the third end face 322c.

[0039] As an implementable mode, refer to Figure 3, the feeding component 31 includes a feeding end plate 311 and a plurality of feeding pipes 312. The feeding end plate 311 is rotatably arranged on the feeding port of the silo 2 through a hinge and can seal or open the feeding port. A plurality of feeding ports are uniformly arranged on the feeding end plate 311, and the plurality of feeding pipes 312 are respectively fixedly connected to the plurality of feeding ports. Among them, the feeding pipe 312 is fixed at the feeding port of the feeding end plate 311 through bolts. The shapes of the plurality of feeding ports are different, and the quantity is not limited. Each feeding port matches the feeding pipe 312, and each feeding pipe 312 can be cylindrical or square. Of course, the structure of the feeding pipe 312 is not limited to the above two structures, and it can also be other structures, which will not be elaborated here. The feeding pipe 312 can be vertical, can have an inclination, or can also have a curvature. Designing a plurality of feeding ports with different shapes expands the applicable range of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device in this embodiment to meet the different diameters of different materials and the sliced shapes with different requirements, and the feeding ports with corresponding calibers and angles can be selected.

[0040] The feeding end plate 311 rotates to seal the feeding port. People manually stuff the material into the feeding pipe 312 and make the bottom of the material abut against the slicing groove 322. The cutter head 32 rotates to drive the cutter 33 to rotate, and the cutter 33 slices the material. On the contrary, after each slicing process ends, the feeding end plate 311 rotates to open the feeding port, and people can check the wear condition of the cutter 33 and the cleaning effect of self-cleaning.

[0041] Furthermore, a handle is arranged at one end of the feeding end plate 311 away from the hinge, and the handle facilitates people to rotate the feeding end plate 311.

[0042] Because the safety factor of the existing slicing machine is not high, the internal cutter on the slicing machine is still running after the feeding end plate is opened, which poses a safety hazard. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 , to solve the above problems, a proximity switch baffle 313 is arranged on the feeding end plate 311 in this embodiment, and a proximity switch 5 is arranged at the position of the silo 2 corresponding to the proximity switch baffle 313. The proximity switch 5 is used to detect the position of the proximity switch baffle 313. After the feeding end plate 311 seals the feeding port, the proximity switch 5 detects the proximity switch baffle 313 and they are parallel. At this time, the external power-on device will supply power to the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device in this embodiment, and the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device in this embodiment can operate. If the feeding end plate 311 is opened during the slicing process of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device in this embodiment without power-off, the proximity switch 5 immediately disconnects, and the proximity switch 5 is perpendicular to the proximity switch baffle 313, and the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device is powered off and stops running to ensure personal safety.

[0043] As an implementable manner, refer to Figures 5-6, the slicing mechanism 3 further includes a driving part, and the driving part includes a sleeve 34, a transmission shaft 35 and a motor 36. One end of the sleeve 34 is located inside the frame 1, and the other end passes through the bottom of the bin 2 into the bin 2. The sleeve 34 is also fixed on the cross bar of the frame 1. The transmission shaft 35 is rotatably arranged inside the sleeve 34, and both ends of the transmission shaft 35 extend out of the sleeve 34 respectively. In this embodiment, the transmission shaft 35 is rotatably arranged inside the sleeve 34 through bearings. The top of the transmission shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the cutter head 32, and the bottom of the transmission shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the driven pulley. The motor 36 is arranged on the frame 1 and is located below the bin 2. The motor 36 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 1 through a motor mounting plate. The output shaft of the motor 36 is fixedly connected to the driving pulley and can drive it to rotate. The driven pulley is located on one side of the driving pulley, and a belt 37 is sleeved between the two. When the motor 36 is started, it drives the driving pulley, the driven pulley and the belt 37 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission shaft 35 to rotate inside the sleeve 34. After the transmission shaft 35 rotates, it drives the cutter head 32 connected to it to rotate.

[0044] Further, referring to Figure 9 , a perforation is provided at the bottom of the bin 2. The sleeve 34 passes through the perforation and the two are sealed, so the spraying water will not leak between the sleeve 34 and the perforation of the bin 2.

[0045] Further, referring to Figure 4 , a through hole is provided at the center of the cutter head 32. The top of the transmission shaft 35 passes into the through hole and is fixed to the cutter head 32 by screws and gaskets. The bottom of the transmission shaft 35 is also fixed to the center of the driven pulley by screws and gaskets.

[0046] As an implementable way, referring to Figure 4 , a plurality of the cutting tools 33, the material discharge openings 321 and the slicing grooves 322 are provided. The sequentially connected material discharge openings 321 and slicing grooves 322 form a set of slicing parts, and multiple sets of the slicing parts are arranged in a ring centered on the through hole on the cutter head 32. In this embodiment, the cutting tools 33, the material discharge openings 321 and the slicing grooves 322 can be provided in multiple numbers according to requirements to further accelerate the slicing of materials.

[0047] As an implementable way, referring to Figure 3 , Figures 7-9, a feed bin 2 is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet communicating with the inside of the feed bin 2, and the feed inlet is located above the discharge outlet. A baffle 21 is provided on the frame 1 and the baffle 21 is located above the discharge outlet. The bottom of the feed bin 2 is inclined. A plurality of filter holes 22 are provided at the bottom of the feed bin 2, and the filter holes 22 communicate with the water tank 41 of the water circulation spraying mechanism 4. A blanking rack 23 is inclined on the frame 1 and the blanking rack 23 is located on the side of the discharge outlet. In this embodiment, a casing 11 is covered on the frame 1, and the blanking rack 23 is located outside the casing 11. Among them, the casing 11 on the frame 1 will cover the feed bin 2 and the water circulation spraying mechanism 4. The baffle 21 semi-seals the discharge outlet to prevent the discharge outlet from being too large and causing the material or the spraying water to splash.

[0048] When the sheet-shaped material enters the inside of the feed bin 2 through the slicing groove 322 and the blanking port 321, due to the inclined bottom of the feed bin 2, the material can slide inside the feed bin 2 by its own gravity and fall onto the blanking rack 23 through the discharge outlet. The blanking rack 23 is also inclined, so the material can move from the blanking rack 23 to the next processing station by its own gravity.

[0049] Furthermore, the feed bin 2 is arranged on the frame 1. Specifically, the top of the feed bin 2 is fixedly connected to the frame 1; to facilitate the installation of the feed bin 2 on the frame 1, a U-shaped groove is provided at the top of the feed bin 2 to facilitate the fixed connection between the two.

[0050] Furthermore, casters 12 are provided on the frame 1. The structure of the casters 12 is prior art and will not be elaborated here. The provision of the casters 12 enables the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment to be positioned as required.

[0051] As an implementable manner, refer to Figures 8-9 , the water circulation spraying mechanism 4 includes a water tank 41, a first spraying assembly 42 and a second spraying assembly 43. The water tank 41 is arranged on the frame 1 and is located below the feed bin 2. A plurality of filter holes 22 are provided at the bottom of the feed bin 2. Specifically, an opening is convexly provided upward at the top of the water tank 41, and the filter holes 22 are located above the opening. The filter holes 22 prevent the material from entering the water tank 41. The first spraying assembly 42 includes a first pipe group and an annular spraying pipe 421 arranged inside the feed bin 2 and above the cutter head 32. The annular spraying pipe 421 is communicated with the water tank 41 through the first pipe group. A plurality of spraying holes are provided on the annular spraying pipe 421. The second spraying assembly 43 includes a second pipe group and a plurality of spiral spray heads 431 arranged inside the feed bin 2 and below the cutter head 32. The plurality of spiral spray heads 431 are communicated with the water tank 41 through the second pipe group. One set of the first spraying assembly 42 and the second spraying assembly 43 is provided, and the number of the two is not limited in this embodiment.

[0052] When the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment starts and the cutter 33 slices the material, the first spraying assembly 42 starts. The spraying water in the water tank 41 sprays out from the spraying holes of the annular spraying pipe 421 through the first pipe group. The annular spraying pipe 421 is located above the cutter head 32, and the position of the annular spraying pipe 421 is closer to the cutter head 32 and the cutter 33. The annular spraying pipe 421 realizes annular high-pressure spraying and flushing, replacing the design of a straight pipe flowing by itself commonly used for the spraying water ejected by the existing slicing machine, ensuring the cleaning and lubricating effect without dead angles, effectively preventing the adhesion and accumulation of materials; and also preventing the adhesion of materials on the cutter head 32 or / and the cutter 33. And the waste water after spraying the materials enters the water tank 41 through the filter holes 22 at the bottom of the material bin 2, and the spraying water in the water tank 41 can be reused.

[0053] Until after the slicing operation of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment is completed, the first spraying assembly 42 stops and the second spraying assembly 43 starts. The waste water in the water tank 41 (or the waste water in the water tank 41 can be discharged and then new spraying water can be replaced) sprays out from a number of spiral nozzles 431 through the second pipe group. The number of spiral nozzles 431 is located below the cutter head 32, and the spiral nozzles 431 clean the cutter head 32, the cutter 33 and the material bin 2. And the waste water after cleaning also enters the water tank 41 through the filter holes 22 at the bottom of the material bin 2 and is finally discharged from the water tank 41. Instead of manual cleaning, it saves water resources and labor costs, improves the cleaning efficiency, and also reduces the problems of equipment thread wear and accuracy decline caused by frequent disassembly.

[0054] As an implementable mode, refer to Figures 8-9, the water circulation spraying mechanism 4 further includes a water pump 44 provided on the frame 1. The water pump 44 is fixed to the bottom of the frame 1 through a water pump mounting plate. The water tank 41 is provided with a water inlet, a circulating water port, and a drain port. The water inlet is provided at the top of the water tank 41, and the circulating water port and the drain port are provided at the bottom of the water tank 41. The water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe 411, and the water inlet pipe 411 is used to connect to an external water inlet assembly. The drain port is connected to a drain pipe 412, and the drain pipe 412 can be used to connect to an external wastewater treatment assembly. First solenoid valves are provided on both the water inlet pipe 411 and the drain pipe 412. A water filter screen 413 is provided in the water tank 41, and the water filter screen 413 is located above the circulating water port. The water inlet of the water pump 44 is communicated with the circulating water port through a water pump inlet pipe 414. The water outlet of the water pump 44 is communicated with the annular spray pipe 421 and the spiral spray head 431 respectively through a first pipe group and a second pipe group. When the water pump 44 is started and the first solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe 411 is opened, the spraying water in the water tank 41 is pressurized by the water pump 44 and then enters the first pipe group or the second pipe group, and finally the spraying water is sprayed out from the annular spray pipe 421 or the spiral spray head 431. When the first spraying assembly 42 or the second spraying assembly 43 is started, the wastewater will be treated by the water filter screen 413 in the water tank 41 and then reused, which can further prevent the adhesion and accumulation of materials and improve the cleaning effect.

[0055] As an implementable manner, refer to Figures 8-9 , the first pipe group includes a first pipe 422. The top of the first pipe 422 penetrates into the inside of the silo 2 and is fixedly connected to an annular spray pipe 421. The second pipe group includes a water distribution pipe 432 and a second pipe 433. The water distribution pipe 432 is provided inside the silo 2 and is located below the cutter head 32. The water distribution pipe 432 is fixed inside the silo 2 through a support seat. The water distribution pipe 432 is fixedly connected to a plurality of spiral spray heads 431. The top of the second pipe 433 is fixedly connected to the water distribution pipe 432. The bottoms of the first pipe 422 and the second pipe 433 both penetrate out of the silo 2 and are connected to the water outlet of the water pump 44. Second solenoid valves are provided on both the first pipe 422 and the second pipe 433. The water inlet pipe 411 is of a U-shaped structure. One end of the water inlet pipe 411 is fixedly connected to the annular spray pipe 421, and the other end is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 44. The water distribution pipe 432 is a pipe with both ends blocked and a chamber inside. The spiral spray heads 431 and the tops of the second pipes 433 are all communicated with the chamber of the water distribution pipe 432. The water inlet pipe 411, the drain pipe 412, the water pump inlet pipe 414, the first pipe 422, and the second pipe 433 in this embodiment are made of hard materials; of course, soft materials can also be used, and then a structure for fixing the annular spray pipe 421 needs to be designed accordingly. If the pipe is made of hard material, the solenoid valve can be directly provided on the pipe; if the pipe is made of soft material, a structure for fixing the solenoid valve needs to be designed accordingly.

[0056] The self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment is started, the first solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe 411 is opened, the first solenoid valve on the drain pipe 412 is closed, and the external water source enters the water tank 41; when the water tank 41 is full of spray water, the first solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe 411 is closed again. The water pump 44 is started, the water filter 413 filters the new spray water and then enters the water pump 44, and the water pump 44 pressurizes the spray water.

[0057] When the cutter 33 slices the material, the first spray assembly 42 is started, the second solenoid valve on the first pipe 422 is opened, and the second solenoid valve on the second pipe 433 is closed, and the spray water enters the annular spray pipe 421 through the circulating water port and the first pipe 422, and the spray water is finally sprayed out through the spray holes on the annular spray pipe 421. The waste water after spraying the material enters the water tank 41 through the filter hole 22 at the bottom of the silo 2, and after being processed by the water filter 413, the spray water in the water tank 41 can be reused.

[0058] After the slicing operation of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment is completed, the first spray assembly 42 stops, the second spray assembly 43 starts, the second solenoid valve on the second pipe 433 is opened, the second solenoid valve on the first pipe 422 is closed, and the spray water enters the water distribution pipe 432 through the circulating water port and the second pipe 433, and the spray water is finally sprayed out through the spiral nozzle 431. And the cleaned waste water also enters the water tank 41 through the filter hole 22 at the bottom of the silo 2. After the cleaning is completed, the water pump 44 and the second solenoid valve on the second pipe 433 are closed, and the first solenoid valve on the drain pipe 412 is opened, and the waste water in the water tank 41 is discharged from the drain pipe 412, completing the self-cleaning process.

[0059] In the operation process of the self-cleaning fruit and vegetable slicing device of this embodiment, the feeding end plate 311 rotates to seal the inlet, and the material is manually inserted into the material tube 312 and the bottom of the material is pressed against the slicing groove 322. The motor 36 is started, driving the driving pulley, the driven pulley and the belt 37 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission shaft 35 to rotate. After the transmission shaft 35 rotates, it will drive the cutter disc 32 connected thereto to rotate. Since the cutter disc 32 and the cutter 33 rotate at high speed, the material against the slicing groove 322 is cut. Because the blade of the cutter 33 is flush with the upper surface of the cutter disc 32, the blade and the material are always at a vertical angle. When slicing, the material passes through the height difference (i.e., the slicing gap) formed between the slicing groove 322 and the cutter 33, thereby achieving a flat cutting surface of the material. The operator continuously presses the material down against the slicing groove 322, and the material is sliced uninterruptedly under the continuous operation of the cutter disc 32 and the cutter 33.

[0060] When slicing the material, the water pump 44 starts, the second solenoid valve on the first pipeline 422 is opened, and the second solenoid valve on the second pipeline 433 is closed. The spraying water enters the annular spraying pipe 421 through the circulating water port and the first pipeline 422, and finally the spraying water is sprayed out through the spraying holes on the annular spraying pipe 421 to prevent the material from sticking. The waste water after spraying the material enters the water tank 41 through the filter holes 22 at the bottom of the material bin 2. After being treated by the water filtering net 413, the spraying water in the water tank 41 can be reused.

[0061] After the material slicing is completed, the motor 36 stops and the self-cleaning starts. The second solenoid valve on the second pipeline 433 is opened, and the second solenoid valve on the first pipeline 422 is closed. The spraying water enters the water distribution pipeline 432 through the circulating water port and the second pipeline 433, and finally the spraying water is sprayed out through the spiral nozzle 431. The spiral nozzle 431 can clean the cutter head 32, the cutting tool 33 and the material bin 2. And the waste water after cleaning also enters the water tank 41 through the filter holes 22 at the bottom of the material bin 2. After the cleaning is completed, the water pump 44 and the second solenoid valve on the second pipeline 433 are closed, the first solenoid valve on the drain pipe 412 is opened, and the waste water in the water tank 41 is discharged through the drain pipe 412, and the self-cleaning process ends.

For those skilled in the art of this technology, of course, other implementation manners can be easily made by means of replacement or change according to the technical content disclosed in this specification. Therefore, all changes and improvements made in the principle and process conditions of the present invention should be included within the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
