[0060] As Figures 1-8 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a fruit slicing device includes a clamping and transferring mechanism 10 and a slicing mechanism 20. The clamping and transferring mechanism 10 includes a transfer driving component 11, a transfer clamping member 12 and two chucks 13 arranged on the transfer clamping member 12. The transfer clamping member 12 clamps the fruit 90 by driving the two chucks 13 to move relative to each other. The transfer driving component 11 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move within a preset coordinate system. The preset coordinate system includes the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction and the rotation direction around the Z-axis. The slicing mechanism 20 includes an upper cutter assembly 21, a lower cutter assembly 22 and a cutter lifting module 25. The cutter lifting module 25 includes an upper cutter lifting module 23 and a lower cutter lifting module 24. The upper cutter assembly 21 includes an upper cutter 210 with a first arc-shaped notch 211 at its bottom end. The lower cutter assembly 22 includes a lower cutter 220 with a second arc-shaped notch 221 at its bottom end. The upper cutter lifting module 23 drives the upper cutter 210 to cut the fruit 90 from above the fruit 90 along the Z-axis direction. The lower cutter lifting module 24 drives the lower cutter 220 to cut the fruit 90 from below the fruit 90 along the Z-axis direction. It should be noted here that the cutter lifting module 25 does not necessarily have to be split into two driving mechanisms to correspondingly drive the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220. In other embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, the cutter lifting module 25 can also adopt a positive and negative lead screw linear module. The upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 are driven by the positive and negative lead screw linear module to approach or move away from each other, so as to realize cutting the fruit 90 from above and below the fruit 90. Of course, the cutter lifting module 25 is not limited to the above two scheme options, and other driving mechanisms can be selected according to the specific actual situation, as long as it meets the requirement that the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 can cut the fruit 90 from the upper and lower directions of the fruit 90. The first arc-shaped notch 211 and the second arc-shaped notch 221 form an avoidance notch for the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 to avoid cutting the fruit core 92 when cutting the fruit 90. The upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 can cut the pulp without damaging the fruit core 92. Further described, machine vision can take pictures of the fruit 90 before cutting to confirm the best cutting line according to the shape and size of the fruit 90. The clamping and transferring mechanism 10 and the slicing mechanism 20 cooperate to cut the fruit 90 according to the best cutting line, and the cut fruit 90 can be obtained (such as Figure 1 shown in the third small figure in). The transfer clamping part 12 adopts an electric claw, and the electric claw drives the two clamping heads 13 to move relatively to clamp the fruit 90. In other embodiments, the transfer clamping part 12 can also adopt a clamping cylinder, which is not limited here. In addition, the size of the closing cutter notch can be changed by controlling the distance between the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 to match fruit cores 92 of different sizes.
[0061] Such as Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the transfer drive assembly 11 includes a transfer reciprocating module 110, a transfer transverse module 111 disposed on the transfer reciprocating module 110, and a transfer rotation module 112 disposed on the transfer transverse module 111. The transfer clamp 12 is disposed on the transfer rotation module 112. The transfer rotation module 112 drives the transfer clamp 12 to rotate around the Z-axis direction. The transfer transverse module 111 drives the transfer clamp 12 to move along the Y-axis direction. The transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the transfer clamp 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The specific structure of the transfer reciprocating module 110 is not limited, and can be driven by a ball screw, or by a linear motor, an electric slide, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other linear drive methods. The specific structure of the transfer transverse module 111 is also not specifically limited, and can be driven by a ball screw, or by a linear motor, an electric slide, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other linear drive methods. In this embodiment, the transfer transverse movement module 111 adopts a linear motor to perform linear motion, and the transfer rotation module 112 adopts a driving method of a combination of a motor and a reducer to drive the electric clamp to rotate around the Z-axis. Further described, when the fruit slicing device is working, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric clamp serving as the transfer clamp 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The electric clamp can be driven to the material picking station first. After the electric clamp clamps the fruit 90, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric clamp to move to the slicing station. Group 110 can drive the electric clamp to reciprocate between the material picking station and the slicing station. Before cutting the fruit 90, the fruit 90 clamped by the electric clamp can be moved to the desired position and rotated to the desired angle by cooperating and driving the transfer reciprocating module 110, the transfer transverse movement module 111 and the transfer rotation module 112, so that the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 in the slicing mechanism 20 can be accurately aligned with the expected optimal cutting line of the fruit 90 to be cut, providing position conditions for the upper cutter 210 and the lower cutter 220 to cut the fruit 90.
[0062] like Figure 5As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the upper cutter assembly 21 further includes an upper blade mounting seat 212 and an upper blade pressing member 213 for pressing the upper cutter 210 against the upper blade mounting seat 212 to connect the upper blade mounting seat 212 and the upper cutter 210. The lower cutter assembly 22 further includes a lower blade mounting seat 222 and a lower blade pressing member 223 for pressing the lower cutter 220 against the lower blade mounting seat 222 to connect the lower blade mounting seat 222 and the lower cutter 220. The upper cutter lifting module 23 includes a first linear motor mover 230 for mounting the upper blade mounting seat 212. The lower cutter lifting module 24 includes a second linear motor mover 240 for mounting the lower blade mounting seat 222. The first linear motor mover 230 and the second linear motor mover 240 are simultaneously arranged on the same linear motor stator 241. The slicing structure further includes a slide rail for guiding the movement of both the upper blade mounting seat 212 and the lower blade mounting seat 222. The upper cutter lifting module 23 and the lower cutter lifting module 24 simultaneously drive the upper cutter 210 in the upper cutter assembly 21 and the lower cutter 220 in the lower cutter assembly 22 to approach each other in the Z-axis direction, and cut the fruit 90 from the upper and lower directions respectively. Since there is a knife closing notch in the middle, the fruit core 92 will not be cut. In this embodiment, the upper blade pressing member 213 and the lower blade pressing member 223 can be pressed by pressing bolts.
[0063] As Figures 1-8 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a fruit processing device includes the fruit slicing device described in any one of the foregoing.
[0064] As Figures 1-8As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the fruit processing device further includes a feeding mechanism 30, a rotating blade mechanism 40, a slicing mechanism 50, and a pit removing mechanism 60. The feeding mechanism 30 conveys the fruit 90 to the lower part of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10, that is, moves to the feeding station of the fruit processing device, for the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 to clamp and transfer. The clamping and transferring mechanism 10 conveys the fruit 90 to the slicing station of the fruit processing device for the slicing mechanism 20 to cut. The rotating blade mechanism 40 is used to transfer the fruit 90 that has been cut by the slicing mechanism 20 to the slicing mechanism 50. The slicing mechanism 50 splits the fruit 90 that has been cut by the slicing mechanism 20 into two fruit halves 91 (for the convenience of description, the two parts after the fruit 90 is cut are called two fruit halves 91), and exposes the fruit pit 92 outside the pulp. The pit removing mechanism 60 takes out the fruit pit 92 from the pulp. The fruit processing device further includes a first vision mechanism 70 and a second vision mechanism 80. The first vision mechanism 70 is used to take a picture of the fruit 90 before cutting to confirm the best cutting line according to the shape and size of the fruit 90. The second vision mechanism 80 is used to take a picture of the two fruit halves 91 to confirm which fruit half 91 the fruit pit 92 is located in. Further described, when the fruit processing device cuts and processes the fruit 90, the feeding mechanism 30 conveys the fruit 90 to the lower part of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10. The first vision mechanism 70 takes a picture of the fruit 90, and calculates the best cutting line according to the shape and size of the fruit 90. After the electric claw in the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 clamps the fruit 90, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric claw to move to the slicing station. And before cutting the fruit 90, the transfer driving component 11 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move within a preset coordinate system. The preset coordinate system includes the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction, and the rotation direction around the Z-axis. Through the coordinated driving of the transfer reciprocating module 110, the transfer transverse movement module 111, and the transfer rotation module 112, the fruit 90 clamped by the electric claw can be moved to the required position and rotated to the required angle, so that the upper cutting knife 210 and the lower cutting knife 220 in the slicing mechanism 20 can be accurately aligned with the expected best cutting line of the fruit 90 to be cut. And the upper cutting knife lifting module 23 and the lower cutting knife lifting module 24 in the slicing mechanism 20 simultaneously drive the upper cutting knife 210 in the upper cutting knife assembly 21 and the lower cutting knife 220 in the lower cutting knife assembly 22 to move towards each other along the Z-axis direction, and can complete the cutting of the fruit 90 according to the best cutting line.
[0065] As Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the feeding mechanism 30 includes a conveyor belt 31, a material pressing assembly 32, a height measuring member 33, and a laser emitter 34. The conveyor belt 31 conveys the fruit 90 to the lower part of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10. The material pressing assembly 32 includes a material pressing plate 320, a material pressing block 321, two support blocks 322, and a material pressing driving member 323. The material pressing block 321 is located on the lower surface of the material pressing plate 320. The two support blocks 322 support the two ends of the material pressing plate 320 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each support block 322 is provided with a linear slide rail, and each linear slide rail guides the corresponding support block 322. The material pressing driving member 323 drives the support block 322 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31 under the guidance of the linear slide rail, so as to drive the material pressing plate 320 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31, thereby driving the material pressing block 321 to press the fruit 90 against the conveyor belt 31 from above the fruit 90. The height measuring member 33 includes an inclined surface portion 330 disposed at an angle to the conveyor belt 31, and the height measuring member 33 moves in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31 following the material pressing plate 320. The laser emitter 34 emits laser light and irradiates it onto the inclined surface portion 330. The material pressing assembly 32 presses the fruit 90 against the conveyor belt 31 from above the fruit 90. After the fruit 90 is flattened, it maintains a fixed placement posture, which is also the posture that the fruit 90 needs to maintain when being sliced subsequently. The first vision mechanism 70 acquires the contour image information of the fruit 90 in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31, obtains the contour shape and contour size of the fruit 90 in this state, can judge whether the fruit 90 is suitable for slicing according to the contour shape and size, and calculates the optimal cutting line. In this embodiment, the first vision mechanism 70 includes a machine vision lens, and captures the contour shape and contour size of the fruit 90 through the machine vision lens. The second vision mechanism 80 also uses a machine vision lens, which will not be elaborated here. The height measuring member 33 moves in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31 following the material pressing plate 320. The laser emitter 34 emits laser light and irradiates it onto the inclined surface portion 330. Further described, when the conveyor belt 31 conveys the fruit 90 to a preset measurement station on the conveyor belt 31, the material pressing driving member 323 drives the material pressing plate 320 to move downward, and then the material pressing block 321 flattens the fruit 90 at the measurement station on the conveyor belt 31. The first vision mechanism 70 captures the contour shape and size of the fruit 90. At the same time, the first vision mechanism 70 can calculate the height dimension of the fruit 90 based on the position of the laser irradiation point on the inclined surface portion 330, so as to further judge whether the fruit 90 is suitable for slicing processing. If it is suitable for slicing processing, slicing operation is performed. If it is not suitable for slicing processing, it needs to be removed. The larger the height value of the fruit 90, the closer the position of the laser irradiation point is to the laser emitter 34. On the contrary, the smaller the height value of the fruit 90, the farther the position of the laser irradiation point is from the laser emitter 34.In this embodiment, the height measuring member 33 and the support block 322 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, the height measuring member 33 may also be independently provided.
[0066] As Figure 6 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the rotating blade mechanism 40 includes a rotating blade reciprocating module 41, a rotating blade lifting member 42 provided on the rotating blade reciprocating module 41, a rotating blade clamping member 43 provided on the rotating blade lifting member 42, and two rotating blade clamps 44 provided on the rotating blade clamping member 43. The rotating blade clamping member 43 drives the two rotating blade clamps 44 to move relatively to clamp the cut fruit 90. The rotating blade lifting member 42 drives the cut fruit 90 to move in the Z-axis direction, and the rotating blade reciprocating module 41 drives the cut fruit 90 to move in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, the rotating blade reciprocating module 41 adopts a linear module, and the rotating blade lifting member 42 adopts a lifting cylinder. In other embodiments, the specific structures of the rotating blade reciprocating module 41 and the rotating blade lifting member 42 are not particularly limited. It can adopt ball screw drive, or can adopt linear drive methods such as linear motors, electric sliders, and hydraulic cylinders. Further described, after the slicing mechanism 20 completes slicing, the rotating blade reciprocating module 41 drives the rotating blade clamping member 43 to reach the slicing station. The rotating blade lifting member 42 drives the rotating blade clamping member 43 to move in the Z-axis direction. After the rotating blade clamping member 43 drives the rotating blade clamps 44 to approach each other and clamp the cut fruit 90, the electric gripper of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 releases the cut fruit 90. After the rotating blade lifting member 42 drives the rotating blade clamping member 43 away from the clamping and transferring mechanism 10, the rotating blade reciprocating module 41 drives the cut fruit clamped by the rotating blade clamping member 43 to move from the slicing station to the pitting station.
[0067] As Figure 7As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the slicing mechanism 50 includes a slicing driving member 51, two detection rotating members 52, and two slicing clamping members 53. The two detection rotating members 52 are arranged on the slicing driving member 51. The slicing driving member 51 is used to drive the two detection rotating members 52 to move relative to each other.
