Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of vegetable processing equipment, and in particular relates to vegetable chopping equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables need to be processed before cooking and eating, especially when processing large quantities of vegetables, which requires the use of equipment, such as vegetable chopping equipment, to chop the vegetables to meet the needs of subsequent cooking and consumption.

[0003] A Chinese patent application (or patent) with publication number CN216296560U discloses a vegetable chopper, relating to the field of vegetable processing technology. It includes a feeding hopper, a chopping table, and a collection frame. A first conveyor belt is located at the front of the chopping table, with protrusions on both sides of the first conveyor belt. Chopping mechanisms are mounted on the protrusions. A hopper is located inside the feeding hopper, with a distribution plate fixed to the bottom of the hopper. A second conveyor belt is located below the hopper, with a feeding port overlapping one side of the second conveyor belt. The end of the feeding port away from the second conveyor belt overlaps with the first conveyor belt. This invention provides good chopping effect, producing uniformly sized vegetables without damaging them, ensuring freshness and taste. During feeding, it prevents vegetables from falling too quickly and piling up, allowing them to fall more evenly onto the second conveyor belt. It can control the degree of chopping to meet the needs of different vegetable processing methods and scrapes off vegetable residue adhering to the blades, preventing excessive residue from affecting cutting.

[0004] The aforementioned vegetable chopper includes a conveyor belt for transporting vegetables. Vegetables are placed on the conveyor belt and dragged to a chopping mechanism for further processing. However, during chopping, the vegetables release juices that remain on the conveyor belt, causing it to become damp. The contact between the various vegetable juices and the chopped vegetables leads to cross-contamination of flavors. Furthermore, the chopping mechanism includes blades and scrapers. Because vegetables contain juices, some vegetable particles adhere to the blade surface after chopping. These particles are scraped off by the scraper, but this scraping process also results in some particles sticking to the scraper, leading to waste. Therefore, we provide vegetable chopping equipment to address these problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model is a vegetable chopping equipment, including a chopping table 1. The drive roller 2 in the chopping table 1 can provide power support for the conveyor belt 3, thereby enabling the conveyor belt 3 to transport vegetables that need to be chopped.

[0032] Specifically, drive rollers 2 are inserted at both ends of the chopping table 1, and the two drive rollers 2 are connected by a conveyor belt 3. A side groove 101 is provided on the rear side wall of the chopping table 1 corresponding to the upper side wall of the conveyor belt 3, and a baffle plate 102 is rotatably connected in the side groove 101.

[0033] Furthermore, the length of the baffle plate 102 is the same as the width of the shredding table 1, and a recycling trough 103 is provided on the bottom side wall of the shredding table 1 corresponding to the shaft end of the conveyor belt 3, and a recycling box 104 is embedded in the recycling trough 103.

[0034] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, start the equipment, drive the roller 2 to rotate, and then the conveyor belt 3 will be driven to run. Then, place the vegetables to be chopped on the conveyor belt 3. As the conveyor belt 3 runs, the vegetables are delivered to the position of the chopping component 6 and then chopped by the chopping component 6. The juice flowing out after the vegetables are chopped, as well as the cleaning water sprayed by the cleaning component 7, will drip down the conveyor belt 3 to the bottom of the chopping table 1 and flow into the recycling bin 104 in the recycling tank 103 for storage.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Please see Figure 3-4 Based on embodiment 1, a device frame 5 and a chopping assembly 6 are also provided. The wiping member 60 in the chopping assembly 6 can be used to wipe the cutter 603, causing the vegetable particles on the cutter 603 to fall off. Since the wiping member 604 is movable, it is also difficult for the vegetable particles to stick to the wiping member 604.

[0037] Specifically, the hoisting slot 501 at the center of the equipment frame 5 is connected to the hydraulic rod 601 in the chopping assembly 6 via a fixing frame 601a. ​​A blade holder 602 is also fixedly installed at the shaft end of the hydraulic rod 601. A cutter 603 is installed at the bottom of the blade holder 602. A wiping component 604 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the cutter 603 and on the inner side wall of the equipment frame 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the two shaft ends of the equipment frame 5 are snapped into the mounting groove 105 of the chopping table 1. The frame 604a of the wiping component 604 is embedded in the inner wall of the equipment frame 5, and the frame 604a is slidably connected to the slider 604d through the sliding groove 604a-1 on it. One side of the slider 604d is threaded with a telescopic rod 604e, and the slider 604d is connected to the wiping plate 604f through the telescopic rod 604e. The other end of the slider 604d is also connected to the lead screw 604c. The shaft end of the lead screw 604c is connected to the motor shaft of the servo motor 604d, and the servo motor 604d passes through the side wall of the frame 604a and is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 502 in the equipment frame 5.

[0039] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During use, by extending the hydraulic rod 601, the blade holder 602 and the cutter 603 can be moved downwards to contact the vegetables on the conveyor belt 3. Repeating this process multiple times will complete the shredding effect of the vegetables. After shredding a vegetable, the cutter 603 moves upwards to the initial position and stops. At this time, the telescopic rod 604a in the wiping member 604 works, extending and bringing the wiping plate 604f on the shaft end close to and abutting against the outer wall of the cutter 603. Then, the servo motor 604b works, which causes the slider 604d to slide in the groove 604a-1 through the lead screw 604c. When the slider 604d moves, the telescopic rod 604e and the wiping plate 604f on it achieve a back-and-forth wiping effect on the outer wall of the cutter 603.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Please see Figure 5-6 Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, a cleaning component 7 is also provided. The water tank 701 in the cleaning component 7 can be used to purify the liquid drawn from the recycling box 104, and then spray it onto the conveyor belt 3 through the pre-storage box 704 and the nozzle 705 thereon, so as to achieve the effect of spraying water to clean the conveyor belt 3.

[0042] Specifically, the water tank 701 in the cleaning component 7 is connected to the pre-storage tank 704 via a water pipe 703. At the same time, the water tank 701 is also connected to the recycling tank 104 via a water pipe 703. An installation post 704a is welded to the bottom side wall of the pre-storage tank 704, and a nozzle 705 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the pre-storage tank 704 facing the conveyor belt 3. A valve 705a is installed on the nozzle 705. The upper side wall of the water tank 701 is also covered with a tank cover 702.

[0043] Furthermore, door panels 4 are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the chopping table 1. The upper side wall of the door panel 4 located at the tail end of the conveyor belt 3 is provided with mounting holes 401 for mounting the mounting column 704a. Mounting strips 402 for mounting the water tank 701 are welded to the rear side wall of the door panel 4. A pad 701a is placed at the bottom corner of the water tank 701. A purification plate 701b is provided on the upper side wall of the pad 701a. A second pad 701c is placed at the corner of the upper side wall of the purification plate 701b. A mounting plate 701d is provided on the upper side wall of the second pad 701c. A water pump 701e is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the mounting plate 701d.

[0044] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the water pump 701e works, which causes the internal chamber of the water tank 701 to be in a negative pressure state. That is, the water tank 701 draws water from the recycling tank 104 into the bottom of the water tank 701 through the water pipe 703 at its bottom. Then, this part of the water will first come into contact with the purification plate 701b, and after being purified by the purification plate 701b, it will be transferred upward, that is, drawn in by the water pump 701e, and then input into the pre-storage tank 704 through the water pipe 703 above the water tank 701. The water in the pre-storage tank 704 can be sprayed towards the side of the conveyor belt 3 through the nozzle 705 on the pre-storage tank 704, thereby achieving the effect of spraying water to clean the conveyor belt 3.
