Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food machinery, in particular to a vegetable slicing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] When slicing root vegetables, a vertical roller with rotating blades is often used to slice the root vegetables in the drum. However, this method still has some problems. When a large amount of vegetables is poured in at once, the weight of the vegetables makes it difficult for the roller to rotate. To solve this problem, it is necessary to design a vegetable slicing mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and propose a vegetable slicing mechanism that can reduce the transmission load and lower the motor power.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0005] A vegetable slicing mechanism comprises a frame and further comprises:

[0006] The drum has spiral blades inside and a multi-V belt on its outer circle, and the multi-V belt is driven to rotate by a driving assembly; a main transmission shaft is fixed at the center of the drum, a driving gear is provided on the main transmission shaft, and a group of intermediate gear shafts are provided on both sides of the driving gear, each of which has an intermediate gear, a driven gear shaft is provided on one side of the intermediate gear, and a driven gear shaft is provided on the driven gear shaft; a knife seat is provided above the two driven gear shafts, a circular knife is provided above the knife seat, and the circular knife is provided below the drum;

[0007] Lower bearing chamber, fixed to the frame;

[0008] An upper bearing chamber, wherein the upper bearing chamber and the lower bearing chamber are fixed together by two sets of driven gears and two sets of intermediate gears;

[0009] The feeding hopper is fixed on the frame, arranged above the drum, and has spiral blades inside.

[0010] The above technical solution uses a motor, motor wheel, and conveyor belt to drive the drum, which in turn drives the main drive shaft, which in turn drives the two driven gear shafts, thereby rotating the circular blades on the two driven gear shafts. Simultaneously, the right-handed and left-handed spiral blades provide support for the vegetables, dissipating their own gravity and ensuring smooth drum rotation. This reduces transmission load and motor power.

[0011] Furthermore, the drum is provided with right-handed spiral blades or left-handed spiral blades.

[0012] Furthermore, the inside of the feed hopper is provided with left-handed spiral blades or right-handed spiral blades.

[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor, a motor wheel, and a conveyor belt; the poly-V belt is connected to the motor wheel via the conveyor belt, and the motor wheel is mounted on the output end of the motor. The motor drives the motor wheel to rotate, and the motor wheel drives the roller to rotate through the conveyor belt and the poly-V belt.

[0014] Furthermore, the motor is fixed on the frame, which makes the integration higher.

[0015] Furthermore, the vegetable slicing mechanism also includes a slice thickness adjustment mechanism for adjusting the slice thickness.

[0016] Furthermore, the slice thickness adjustment mechanism includes two groups of adjustment units, each group of adjustment units including a connecting rod fixing seat, a screw rod, a connecting rod thread sleeve, and a connecting rod; the ends of the screw rod are provided with threads of opposite rotation directions, and two groups of connecting rod thread sleeves are provided, and the two groups of connecting rod thread sleeves are respectively threadedly connected to the ends of the screw rod; the ends of the connecting rod thread sleeves are respectively connected to the two groups of connecting rods in a hinged manner, with the other end of one group of connecting rods being connected to the adjustment disk in a hinged manner, and the other end of the other group of connecting rods being connected to the connecting rod fixing seat in a hinged manner; the adjustment disk is provided with a through hole, and the adjustment disk is located above the upper bearing chamber and below the circular knife. The two pairs of connecting rod thread sleeves of opposite rotation directions on each adjustment unit move toward the center, causing the connecting rod to push the adjustment disk upward, which can reduce the gap between the adjustment disk and the circular knife, and conversely, increase the gap between the adjustment disk and the circular knife, thereby achieving slice thickness adjustment.

[0017] Furthermore, the through hole on the adjustment disk is a fan-shaped through hole.

[0018] Furthermore, the screws of the two adjustment units are fixedly connected to a synchronous pulley and a passive synchronous pulley, respectively. The synchronous pulley is fixed to the output end of the stepper motor, and the passive synchronous pulley is connected to the synchronous pulley via a timing belt. The synchronous pulley and the passive synchronous pulley are located on the same side of the frame. When the stepper motor rotates, the synchronous belt drives the two screws to rotate synchronously.

[0019] Technical effects of this utility model:

[0020] Compared to existing technologies, the vegetable slicing mechanism of this utility model evenly distributes the weight of the vegetables through left-handed spiral blades in the feed hopper, reducing transmission load and motor power, thus facilitating energy conservation and consumption reduction. The right-handed spiral blades in the drum guide the vegetables and evenly distribute the weight, ensuring smooth drum rotation and orderly slicing, improving slicing quality. Slice thickness is adjusted accurately and with a high degree of automation by controlling the forward and reverse rotation and number of revolutions of the stepper motor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present embodiment involves a vegetable slicing mechanism, including a motor 1, a motor wheel 2, a multi-V belt 3, a lower bearing chamber 4, a main transmission shaft 5, a driving gear 6, an upper bearing chamber 7, a driven gear shaft 8, a driven gear 9, an intermediate gear shaft 10, an intermediate gear 11, a knife seat 12, a circular knife 13, an adjusting disk 14, a roller 15, a hopper 16, a frame 17, a conveyor belt 18, a right-handed spiral blade 20, a left-handed spiral blade 21 and a slice thickness adjustment mechanism.

[0029] The motor 1, lower bearing chamber 4, and feed hopper 16 are all fixed to the frame 17. Bearings are installed in the inner cavities of the lower bearing chamber 4 and the upper bearing chamber 7. A main transmission shaft 5 is fixed at the center of the drum 15. The main transmission shaft 5 is equipped with a driving gear 6. A set of intermediate gear shafts 10 are installed on both sides of the driving gear 6. The intermediate gear shaft 10 is equipped with an intermediate gear 11. A driven gear shaft 8 is installed on one side of the intermediate gear 11. The driven gear shaft 8 is equipped with a driven gear 9. The lower bearing chamber 4 and the upper bearing chamber 7 are fixed together by two sets of driven gears 9 and two sets of intermediate gears 11. A knife seat 12 is installed above the two driven gear shafts 8, and a circular knife 13 is installed above the knife seat 12. The roller 15 is arranged above the circular knife 13, and a multi-V belt 3 is provided on the outer circle of the roller 15. The multi-V belt 3 is connected to the motor wheel 2 through a conveyor belt 18. The motor wheel 2 is installed at the output end of the motor 1. The motor 1, the motor wheel 2, and the conveyor belt 18 drive the roller 15 to rotate. The roller 15 drives the main transmission shaft 5 to rotate, thereby driving the two driven gear shafts 8 to rotate, and realizing the rotation of the circular knife 13 on the two driven gear shafts 8. The inside of the roller 15 is provided with a right-handed spiral blade 20. The feed hopper 16 is arranged above the roller 15 and is provided with a left-handed spiral blade 21 inside.

[0030] The slice thickness adjustment mechanism includes a stepper motor 22, a synchronous pulley 23, a synchronous belt 24, a passive synchronous pulley 25, and two sets of adjustment units. A synchronous pulley 23 is fixed to the output end of the stepper motor 22, and the synchronous pulley 23 is connected to the passive synchronous pulley 25 via a synchronous belt 24. The synchronous pulley 23 and the passive synchronous pulley 25 are located on the same side of the frame 17 and are each connected to a set of adjustment units. Each set of adjustment units includes a connecting rod fixing base 26, a screw rod 27, a connecting rod thread sleeve 28, and a connecting rod 19. The ends of the screw rod 27 are provided with threads with opposite rotation directions. Two sets of connecting rod thread sleeves 28 are provided, and the two sets of connecting rod thread sleeves 28 are respectively threadedly connected to the ends of the screw rod 27. The ends of the connecting rod thread sleeves 28 are respectively connected to the two sets of connecting rods 19 in a hinged manner. The other end of one set of connecting rods 19 is connected to the adjustment disk 14 in a hinged manner, and the other end of the other set of connecting rods 19 is also connected to the connecting rod fixing base 26 in a hinged manner. The synchronous wheel 23 and the passive synchronous wheel 25 are respectively fixedly connected to the screws 27 of the two adjustment units. The adjustment disk 14 is provided with a fan-shaped through-hole and is located above the upper bearing chamber 7 and below the circular blade 13. When the stepper motor 22 rotates, the synchronous belt 24 drives the two screws 27, causing the two pairs of connecting rod thread sleeves 28 on each adjustment unit to rotate toward the center, causing the connecting rod 19 to push the adjustment disk 14 upward, reducing the gap between the adjustment disk 14 and the circular blade 13. When the stepper motor 22 rotates in the opposite direction, the above process is reversed.

[0031] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, after the root vegetables are poured into the hopper 16, they fall onto the left-handed spiral blade 21 of the hopper 16 and the right-handed spiral blade 20 of the drum 15. The right-handed spiral blade 20 and the left-handed spiral blade 21 have a certain supporting effect on the vegetables, dispersing the gravity of the vegetables themselves. The motor 1 drives the drum 15 and some root vegetables and the circular knife 13 to rotate through the multi-V belt 3 and gear transmission. Under the guidance of the right-handed spiral blade 20 and the left-handed spiral blade 21, the vegetables line up and wait for cutting. The circular knife 13 cuts the vegetables on the bottom layer brought by the drum 15 into slices and discharges them through the fan-shaped holes on the adjustment disk 14. The slice thickness adjustment mechanism can control the slice thickness by controlling the number of forward or reverse rotations of the stepping motor 22.

The patent protection scope of the present utility model includes but is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. Any appropriate changes or modifications made to them by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field that comply with the claims of the present utility model shall fall within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
