[0062] As Figures 1-9 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 specifically includes a transfer driving component 11, a transfer clamping member 12, and two chucks 13 disposed on the transfer clamping member 12. The transfer clamping member 12 clamps the fruit 90 by driving the two chucks 13 to move relatively. The transfer driving component 11 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move within a preset coordinate system, and the preset coordinate system includes a Y-axis direction, an X-axis direction, and a rotation direction around the Z-axis. The slicing mechanism 20 specifically includes a slicing lifting module 21 and a tool module 22. The tool module 22 includes an annular blade 220 and a rotation driving member 221 for driving the annular blade 220 to rotate. The slicing lifting module 21 drives the annular blade 220 in the tool module 22 to move along the Z-axis direction. After the moving actions of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 and the slicing mechanism 20 are coordinated with each other, the annular blade 220 can be accurately aligned with the expected best cutting line of the fruit 90 to be cut first, and then the annular blade 220 is driven to move around the outer circumference of the fruit 90 along a preset arc path (as Figure 1 shown) for one week to perform cutting, and the cut fruit 90 can be obtained (as Figure 1As shown in the third small figure in the figure, the fruit flesh can be cut without damaging the core 92. Compared with the existing solution of cutting the fruit 90 by chopping, the fruit slicing device uses the annular blade 220 to rotate at high speed to cut the fruit 90 along a fixed direction aligned with the optimal cutting line and along a preset arc path. When cutting, the impact force on the fruit 90 is small, and the skin of the fruit 90 will not be damaged. The incision is highly smooth, and the impact force on the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 that clamps the fruit 90 is small, and no damage is caused to the clamping and transferring mechanism 10. In this embodiment, the transfer clamping member 12 adopts an electric clamping jaw, which drives the two clamps 13 to move relative to each other to clamp the fruit 90. In other embodiments, the transfer clamping member 12 can also adopt a clamping cylinder, which is not limited here.

[0063] More specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the transfer drive assembly 11 includes a transfer reciprocating module 110, a transfer transverse module 111 provided on the transfer reciprocating module 110, and a transfer rotation module 112 provided on the transfer transverse module 111. The transfer clamping member 12 is provided on the transfer rotation module 112. The transfer rotation module 112 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to rotate about the Z-axis direction. The transfer transverse module 111 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move along the Y-axis direction. The transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move along the X-axis direction. The specific structure of the transfer reciprocating module 110 is not limited. It can be driven by a ball screw, or by a linear motor, an electric slide, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like. The specific structure of the transfer transverse module 111 is also not limited. It can be driven by a ball screw, or by a linear motor, an electric slide, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like. In this embodiment, the transfer transverse module 111 adopts a linear motor for linear motion, and the transfer rotation module 112 adopts a motor and a reducer combination drive mode to drive the electric clamp to rotate around the Z axis. When the fruit slicing device is working, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric clamp as the transfer clamp 12 to move along the X axis. The electric clamp can be driven to the material taking station first. After the electric clamp clamps the fruit 90, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the fruit 90 clamped by the electric clamp to move. To the slicing station, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric clamp to reciprocate between the material taking station and the slicing station. Before cutting the fruit 90, the fruit 90 held by the electric clamp can be moved to the desired position and rotated to the desired angle by the cooperative driving of the transfer reciprocating module 110, the transfer transverse movement module 111 and the transfer rotation module 112, so that the annular blade 220 is accurately aligned with the optimal cutting line expected for the fruit 90 to be cut, so as to drive the annular blade 220 along a preset arc path (such as Figure 1 As shown) provides location conditions for cutting around the periphery of the fruit 90.

[0064] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the slicing lifting module 21 includes a mounting plate 210, a slicing lifting driving member 211 disposed on the mounting plate 210, a moving plate 212 disposed on the slicing lifting driving member 211, a guiding slide rail 213 disposed between the moving plate 212 and the mounting plate 210, and a tool mounting arm 214 disposed on the moving plate 212. The tool module 22 is mounted on the tool mounting arm 214. The guiding slide rail 213 between the moving plate 212 and the mounting plate 210 ensures more stable linear movement of the moving plate 212 driven by the linear motor. The tool module 22 is mounted on the tool mounting arm 214, and the tool mounting arm 214 is mounted on the moving plate 212. The guiding slide rail 213 can also ensure the cutting stability of the tool module 22 when cutting the fruit 90. In this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the slicing lifting driving member 211 uses a linear motor to drive the tool mounting arm 214 to move along the Z-axis direction, thereby driving the annular blade 220 in the tool module 22 to move along the Z-axis direction. In other embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the slicing lifting driving member 211 can also use a ball screw linear module to drive the tool mounting arm 214 to move along the Z-axis direction. Of course, the slicing lifting driving member 211 is not limited to a linear motor or a ball screw linear module. This is only an exemplary illustration here, and other linear driving mechanisms can be selected according to actual needs.

[0065] As Figure 6 shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the rotation driving member 221 includes a rotation part 2210. An installation column 2211 protrudes from the rotation part 2210. The tool module 22 further includes a pressing member 222 and a pressing connection member 223. The annular blade 220 is sleeved on the installation column 2211. The pressing connection member 223 sequentially passes through the pressing member 222 and the annular blade 220 and then is connected to the installation column 2211 to connect the rotation part 2210 of the rotation driving member 221 to the annular blade 220. After the rotation part 2210 rotates, it drives the annular blade 220 to perform rotary slicing operation. In this embodiment, the pressing connection member 223 uses a pressing bolt, and the pressing member 222 uses a pressing block with a through hole in the middle. In other embodiments, the pressing block and the pressing bolt can also be integrally formed. In this embodiment, the annular blade 220 uses a circular blade. In other embodiments, it can also be a near-circular polygon blade. In this embodiment, the rotation driving member 221 directly uses an outer rotor motor. The annular blade 220 is sleeved on the installation column 2211 provided on the rotation part of the outer rotor motor and is directly driven by the outer rotor motor. In other embodiments, asFigure 11 As shown in the figure, the rotation driving member 221 includes a rotation part 2210 which is a driven synchronous pulley. The driven synchronous pulley protrudes with a mounting post 2211. The annular blade 220 is sleeved on the mounting post 2211. The tool module 22 further includes a locking nut 224. The locking nut 224 is used to cooperate with the external thread provided on the mounting post 2211 to stably mount the annular blade 220 on the driven synchronous pulley. The rotation driving member 221 further includes a driving motor 225 which drives the driven synchronous pulley to rotate through a synchronous belt. In the present invention, two embodiments of the rotation driving member 221 are listed. Of course, it is not limited thereto. Only the rotation driving member 221 is provided with a rotation part 2210 with a mounting post 2211, and the annular blade 220 is mounted on the mounting post 2211. The annular blade 220 can be driven to rotate at a high speed by the rotation of the rotation part 2210. The annular blade 220 is driven by the rotation driving member 221 to rotate at a high speed. Compared with an ordinary blade when cutting a fruit 90 with harder pulp, the impact on the fruit 90 is very large, which is likely to cause clamping displacement, damage the surface of the fruit 90, and at the same time cause the incision to be uneven, affecting the quality of the fruit slices, and will also accelerate the damage to the clamping and transferring mechanism 10. However, when the high-speed rotating annular blade 220 performs rotary slicing operation, the impact on the fruit 90 itself is very small, it will not damage the epidermis of the fruit 90, the incision is more flat, and the influence on the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 is also smaller.

[0066] As Figures 1-9 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, a fruit processing device includes the fruit slicing device described in any one of the above.

[0067] As Figures 1-9 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fruit processing device further includes a feeding mechanism 30, a turning blade mechanism 40, a slicing mechanism 50 and a pitting 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 turning blade mechanism 40 transfers 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 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 makes the fruit core 92 exposed from the pulp (as Figure 1 shown), and the pitting mechanism 60 is used to take out the fruit core 92 from the pulp. More specifically, as Figure 1As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, the fruit processing device further includes a first vision mechanism 70 and a second vision mechanism 80; the first vision mechanism 70 takes a picture of the fruit 90 before it is cut by the annular blade 220, and 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 core 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, and the first vision mechanism 70 takes a picture of the fruit 90. According to the shape and size of the fruit 90, the optimal cutting line is calculated. After the electric gripper in the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 clamps the fruit 90, the transfer reciprocating module 110 drives the electric gripper to move to the slicing station. And before cutting the fruit 90, 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 gripper can be moved to the required position and rotated to the required angle, so as to facilitate the precise alignment of the annular blade 220 with the optimal cutting line of the expected fruit 90 to be cut. The transfer driving component 11 drives the transfer clamping member 12 to move within a preset coordinate system, and the preset coordinate system includes the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction and the rotation direction around the Z-axis. And the slicing lifting module 21 can drive the annular blade 220 in the tool module 22 to move along the Z-axis direction. Under the mutual action and cooperation of the clamping and transferring mechanism 10 and the slicing mechanism 20, the annular blade 220 cuts along a preset arc path (such as Figure 1 shown) on the periphery of the fruit 90, and can cut the pulp without damaging the fruit core 92.

[0068] Such 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 is used to convey 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 blocks 322 to move in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 31 under the guidance of the linear slide rails, 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 that irradiates 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 that irradiates the inclined surface portion 330. When the conveyor belt 31 conveys the fruit 90 to the preset measuring 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 presses the fruit 90 flat 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 according to 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 greater the height value of the fruit 90, the closer the position of the laser irradiation point is to the laser emitter 34.
