Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 As an embodiment provided by the utility model: A full-automatic slicing machine for potato chip production includes a base 1.

A cutting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the top plate 9. The cutting mechanism includes an electric cylinder 10 and a guiding shaft 18 arranged vertically. The electric cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 9. The bottom of the output shaft of the electric cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped frame 12 through a transmission shaft 11. When the electric cylinder 10 works, the U-shaped frame 12 moves up and down. An adjusting mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 12.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 A servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the U-shaped frame 12. The servo motor 13 can accurately control the rotation angle of its output shaft, which is convenient for adjusting the rotation speed and rotation angle of its rotating shaft, and improves the accuracy of control. The right side of the output shaft of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 14. A nut block 15 is threadedly installed on the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 14. The guiding shaft 18 penetrates and slides on the inner wall of the nut block 15. The guiding shaft 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 12. A moving block 16 is slidably installed on the circumferential surface of the guiding shaft 18. The guiding shaft 18 is used to guide the displacement of the nut block 15 and the moving block 16, so that the nut block 15 and the moving block 16 make a more accurate linear motion during displacement, improving the stability during movement. Cutting blades 17 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of both the nut block 15 and the moving block 16. The number of the cutting blades 17 is set to be multiple, which is convenient for slicing potatoes multiple times at one time, improving work efficiency. A collecting mechanism is arranged on the left side of the base 1.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The threaded rod 14 penetrates through the moving block 16 and has no contact with the moving block 16. The rotation of the threaded rod 14 will not affect the moving block 16. The number of the moving blocks 16 is set to be multiple. The multiple moving blocks 16 are arranged at equal distances along the axial direction of the guiding shaft 18. The number of the moving blocks 16 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Cutting blades 17 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of each moving block 16, which is convenient for quickly slicing potatoes and does not require slicing potatoes one by one, improving work efficiency. To obtain high-quality fried potato chips and reduce raw material consumption, potatoes that meet the process requirements must be selected. Therefore, it is required that the raw materials are potatoes with regular tuber shapes, relatively uniform sizes, thin skins with consistent colors, and few eyes.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5The feeding mechanism includes a stepper motor 2, which can accurately control the rotation angle of its output shaft to improve the control accuracy. The stepper motor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. A reciprocating screw rod 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the output shaft of the stepper motor 2. The circumferential surface of the reciprocating screw rod 3 is slidably connected to a slider 4 arranged in a vertical state. When the reciprocating screw rod 3 rotates, the slider 4 is driven to perform reciprocating linear motion in the axial direction of the reciprocating screw rod 3, which is convenient for loading and unloading potatoes. A cutting plate 5 arranged in a horizontal state is hinged on the top of the slider 4. A pin shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left side of the cutting plate 5. The feeding mechanism also includes a guide member 7. The left and right sides of the guide member 7 are provided with arc sections. The guide member 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The number of guide members 7 is set to two groups. A guide groove 8 is opened on the side where the two groups of guide members 7 are close to each other. The pin shaft 6 slides on the inner wall of the guide groove 8.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The collecting mechanism includes a collecting box 24 for collecting the cut potato slices. A feeding chute 23 for guiding the potato slices to slide down is provided on the left side of the base 1. The collecting box 24 is fixedly installed on the left side of the base 1. The cut potato slices slide into the collecting box 24 through the feeding chute 23, which is convenient for subsequent use.

[0030] Working principle: Before slicing, the potato raw materials need to be thoroughly cleaned and peeled first, and the potatoes that are too large in size need to be trimmed or leveled to ensure that all potatoes meet the requirements of the slicing machine. When slicing, the bottom of the potato is flat and can be directly placed on the cutting board 5 without rolling. Then, the potatoes to be sliced are placed on the top of the cutting board 5, and then the power supply of the stepping motor 2 is started. The working of the stepping motor 2 causes the reciprocating lead screw 3 to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 3 causes the slider 4 to displace to the left. The displacement of the slider 4 drives the cutting board 5 to displace to the left until the potato above the cutting board 5 is transported and displaced to the bottom of the cutting blade 17.

[0031] By starting the power supply of the electric cylinder 10, the working of the electric cylinder 10 drives the U-shaped frame 12 to displace downward through the transmission shaft 11. The displacement of the U-shaped frame 12 drives the cutting blade 17 to displace downward, and then the potato above the cutting board 5 is cut into sliced potatoes piece by piece. By setting multiple cutting blades 17, the potatoes to be sliced can be integrally cut without cutting them one by one, which improves the working efficiency. Continuing to make the stepping motor 2 work causes the cutting board 5 to drive the cut potato slices to displace to the left. The distance between the cutting blades is set according to the thickness of the potato slices.

[0032] When the cutting board 5 moves to the left side of the base 1, the pin shaft 6 on the left side of the cutting board 5 displaces downward under the guidance of the guide groove 8, and then the cutting board 5 tilts to the left side, so that the potato slices above the cutting board 5 slide down under the action of gravity and fall into the inside of the collection box 24 through the guidance of the blanking chute 23, avoiding the accumulation of potato slices and affecting the subsequent potato slicing work, and having good continuous automatic production performance.

[0033] When it is necessary to adjust the slicing thickness of the potato slices, by starting the servo motor 13, the working of the servo motor 13 drives the threaded rod 14 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 14 causes the nut block 15 to displace to the right. The displacement of the nut block 15, through the transmission action of the first connecting rod 19, the second connecting rod 20, the third connecting rod 21 and the fourth connecting rod 22, causes the moving block 16 to displace to the right, and the displacement distance of the moving block 16 is longer than the displacement distance of the nut block 15 to the right, thereby increasing the distance between the multiple cutting blades 17. By controlling the rotation angle of the output shaft of the servo motor 13, the distance between the multiple cutting blades 17 can be accurately adjusted, and the adaptability is better.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
