[0033] Example

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 The present embodiment provides a potato slicing device, comprising: a bracket 1; a slicing mechanism 2, the slicing mechanism 2 comprising a protective shell 201, a cutting knife 202 and a driving motor 203 arranged on the bracket 1, the cutting knife 202 being rotatably arranged in the protective shell 201, the driving motor 203 being arranged on the bracket 1, the output end of the driving motor 203 being connected to the cutting knife 202, and a feeding port 4 for inputting potatoes to be cut being opened on the protective shell 201; a feeding mechanism 3, the feeding mechanism 3 comprising a material guide barrel 301 and a conveying auger 302, the material guide barrel 301 being connected to the protective shell 201, and the output end of the material guide barrel 301 being communicated with the feeding port 4, the conveying auger 302 being rotatably arranged in the material guide barrel 301, and a loading port being opened on the end of the material guide barrel 301 away from the protective shell 201.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 is used to lift, support and install the slicing mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 3, so that the feeding mechanism 3 and the slicing mechanism 2 can work together to stably feed and slice the potatoes.

[0036] In this embodiment, the slicing mechanism 2 is used to slice the potatoes conveyed by the feeding mechanism 3, so as to facilitate uniform cutting of the potatoes. Specifically, the protective shell 201 is used to form a closed cavity structure, and the cavity structure is used to protect the cutting knife 202 in a closed space to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents. The cutting knife 202 is used to form a cutting plane at high speed rotation, and the potatoes are conveyed to the plane where the cutting knife 202 rotates through the feeding mechanism 3, so that the potatoes are cut into slices at the cutting plane position, and the sliced ​​potatoes fall to the bottom of the protective shell 201 under the action of gravity. The drive motor 203 is used to drive the cutting knife 202 to rotate at a uniform speed, and the rotation parameters of the cutting knife 202 can be adjusted according to the cutting requirements.

[0037] In this embodiment, the feed mechanism 3 feeds the potatoes to be cut at a constant speed within the guide barrel 301 via the conveying auger 302, thereby facilitating uniform movement of the potatoes toward the cutting blade 202, thereby obtaining slices of potato with uniform thickness and improving the uniformity of the cut potatoes. Specifically, the guide barrel 301 is used to form a feeding channel between the rotating shaft 2024 of the conveying auger 302, and then the blades of the conveying auger 302 transport the potatoes horizontally to the slicing mechanism 2, thereby facilitating the cyclical conveyance of the potatoes into the cutting plane formed by the cutting blades, thereby ensuring a uniform thickness of the potato slices.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 In some implementations of this embodiment, a temporary storage hopper 5 is provided on the above-mentioned feed port 4. The temporary storage hopper 5 includes a tapered portion 501 and a straight cylindrical portion 502. The tapered portion 501 and the straight cylindrical portion 502 are integrally formed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the temporary storage hopper 5 is used to store potatoes to be cut. It should be noted that the potatoes to be cut have small size differences after sorting to avoid excessively different potato slices. The straight cylindrical portion 502 of the temporary storage hopper 5 is used to accommodate the potatoes to be cut. The tapered portion 501 located between the straight cylindrical portion 502 and the bracket 1 of the guide barrel 301 is used to guide the potatoes into the guide barrel 301, facilitating the subsequent uniform delivery of the potatoes via the conveying auger 302, thereby obtaining potato slices of relatively uniform thickness.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 In some implementations of this embodiment, the protective shell 201 includes a bottom groove 2011 and a cover 2012 . The cover 2012 is disposed on the mouth of the bottom groove 2011 , and the cover 2012 is hinged to the side wall of the bottom groove 2011 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the bottom groove 2011 is used to cooperate with the cover 2012 to form a closed structure, so as to form a protective shell 201 during slicing to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents. After slicing is completed, the cover 2012 is opened to clean the inside of the protective shell 201, which is convenient for cleaning the slicing mechanism 2.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some implementations of this embodiment, the above-mentioned cutting knife 202 includes a blade 2021, a handle 2022, a knife seat 2023 and a rotating shaft 2024. The knife seat 2023 is arranged on the bracket 1, and the rotating shaft 2024 is rotatably arranged in the knife seat 2023. The blade 2021 is arranged on the knife handle 2022. An installation groove is opened at one end of the rotating shaft 2024 located in the protective shell 201, and the knife handle 2022 can be extended into the installation groove. A locking screw 6 for fixing the knife handle 2022 is provided on the rotating shaft 2024.

[0043] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned blade 2021 is used to be installed on the rotating shaft 2024 through the handle 2022, and the handle 2022 and the blade 2021 are installed as a whole on the blade seat 2023 through the locking screw 6 passing through the rotating shaft 2024, so that the distance between the blade 2021 and the feed port 4 can be adjusted through the locking screw 6, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the cutting thickness and improving the convenience of use.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 In some implementations of this embodiment, the material guide cylinder 301 is provided with a driving member 7 for driving the conveying auger 302 to rotate, and the output end of the driving member 7 is connected to the conveying auger 302.

[0045] In this embodiment, the driving member 7 is used to drive the conveying auger 302 to rotate at a constant speed, thereby feeding the material at a constant speed, so that the cutting plane formed by the blade 2021 can stably cut the potato slices. Preferably, the driving member 7 is a servo motor. The servo motor refers to an engine that controls the operation of mechanical components in a servo system and is an auxiliary motor indirect speed change device. The servo motor can control the speed and has very accurate position accuracy. It can convert the voltage signal into torque and speed to drive the control object. The excellent control accuracy of the servo motor is an ideal material for the driving member 7, but it is not limited to the above-mentioned servo motor material, and can also be other materials with similar performance.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 In some implementations of this embodiment, a reducer 8 is provided between the output end of the driving member 7 and the conveying auger 302 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the reducer 8 is an independent component consisting of a gear transmission, worm transmission, or gear-worm transmission enclosed in a rigid housing, and is commonly used as a reduction transmission device between the prime mover and the working machine. This facilitates adjusting the rotational speed of the driving member 7 according to usage requirements.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In some implementations of this embodiment, the protective shell 201 is provided with a discharge water pipe 9 for flushing the protective shell 201 , and the discharge water pipe 9 is connected in series with a control valve (not shown in the figure).

[0049] In this embodiment, the feed water pipe 9 is used to convey water into the protective shell 201, thereby flushing the potato slices inside the protective shell 201 out of the protective shell 201. The water body forms a water body, which seals the potato slices and prevents rapid oxidation of the potatoes. The control valve is used to control the inflow of water and the size of the water flow.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 In some implementations of this embodiment, a monitoring component 10 for monitoring the position of materials is provided on the temporary storage hopper 5 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the monitoring element 10 is used to monitor the material level, facilitating the addition of potato raw materials into the temporary storage hopper 5 based on the material level. The monitoring element 10 is an infrared distance sensor mounted on one side of the temporary storage hopper 5. The infrared distance sensor operates based on the reflection and reception of infrared rays by objects. It emits a beam of infrared light. When the infrared light strikes an object, some of the light is reflected back by the object and then received by a receiver on the sensor. By measuring the time difference between emission and reception or the intensity of the reflected light, the sensor can calculate the distance between the object and the sensor. When the measured distance reaches the preset maximum distance, it indicates that there are no potatoes at the material level, and the potato raw materials to be sliced ​​are then added to the temporary storage hopper 5.

[0052] During use, adjust the operating parameters of the drive motor 203 of the slicing mechanism 2 and the drive member 7 of the feeding mechanism 3, then add the material to be cut into the temporary storage hopper 5, and by controlling the operation of the drive member 7, the potatoes enter the guide barrel 301 under the action of their own gravity, and the conveying auger 302 rotates to transport the potatoes entering the guide barrel 301 to the feed port 4 of the protective shell 201. The cutting knife 202 of the slicing mechanism 2 rotates at high speed to form a cutting plane, and the conveying auger 302 continuously pushes the potatoes through the feed port 4 to the cutting plane for cutting. While cutting, the control valve is opened to transport water into the protective shell 201, and potato slices are continuously output under the impact of the water.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
