[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing technology, and in particular to a corn cutting and conveying machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the corn processing industry, corn cutting conveyors are a key piece of machinery. Their main function is to precisely cut corn cobs in half to achieve standardized processing. This equipment ensures that the corn cobs are cut to uniform lengths and sizes through mechanical cutting, which is crucial for subsequent processing and packaging, as it helps maintain product uniformity and consistency to meet market demands.

[0003] A common problem in traditional corn cutting and conveying technology is that when the machine cuts corn of different lengths, the lack of a flexible adjustment mechanism and precise cutting control often makes it difficult to ensure that the cut corn reaches a uniform length. This technical limitation leads to reduced cutting efficiency, increases the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and also affects the market competitiveness of the product. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a corn cutting conveyor. This invention addresses the problem mentioned in the background that when the machine cuts corn of different lengths, the lack of a flexible adjustment mechanism and precise cutting control often makes it difficult to ensure that the length of the cut corn meets a uniform standard. This technical limitation leads to reduced cutting efficiency, increases the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and also affects the market competitiveness of the product.

[0005] A corn cutting conveyor according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a side baffle and support legs. The upper end of the support legs is fixedly connected to the side baffle. Both ends of the inner side of the side baffle are rotatably connected to a drive shaft. The drive shafts are interconnected by a conveyor belt. A second drive motor is installed at one end of the inner side of the side baffle. The output end of the second drive motor is drivenly connected to a cutting wheel. A top pressure plate is installed at the upper inner side of the side baffle. Both ends of the top pressure plate are fixedly connected to connecting blocks. A first spring structure is provided between the lower end of the connecting block and the upper surface of the side baffle. A sliding groove is formed on the lower surface of the top pressure plate. A sliding rod is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove. The surface of the sliding rod is slidably connected to the side pressure plate. A second spring structure is provided between one side surface of the side pressure plate and the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, the cross-section of the protrusion is triangular.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the support leg is fixedly connected to a base.

[0009] Preferably, a control panel is fixedly installed on one end of one side surface of the side baffle.

[0010] Preferably, a first drive motor is installed at the other end of the outer surface of the side baffle, and the output end of the first drive motor is connected to a drive gear.

[0011] Preferably, a driven gear is mounted on one end of the surface of the drive shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This invention utilizes a structure with top and side pressure plates. When corn is placed between protrusions on the conveyor belt, just before it enters the cutting range of the cutting wheel, the top pressure plate first compresses the corn to ensure its vertical position during cutting. Then, corn of different lengths enters the lower part of the top pressure plate and is further compressed by the side pressure plates, causing one end of the corn to adhere tightly to the inner side of the side baffle. This ensures that the length of the corn cut by the cutting wheel near the side baffle is equal, guaranteeing the vertical position and uniform length of the cut corn. This significantly improves cutting efficiency and product standardization, reduces the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and enhances the product's market competitiveness. It effectively avoids the problem that when the machine cuts corn of different lengths, the lack of a flexible adjustment mechanism and precise cutting control often makes it difficult to ensure that the cut corn reaches a uniform length. This technical limitation leads to reduced cutting efficiency, increased difficulty in subsequent sorting and processing, and also affects the product's market competitiveness.

[0015] This invention utilizes protrusions with triangular cross-sections to separate and transport corn via a conveyor belt during cutting, improving efficiency and uniformity. It also prevents corn from piling up and being damaged during transport. A first drive motor drives a driving gear, which in turn rotates a driven gear, ultimately rotating the transmission shaft to transport the corn across the conveyor belt surface.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0023] refer to Figure 1-4A corn cutting conveyor includes a side baffle 3 and support legs 1. The upper end of the support legs 1 is fixedly connected to the side baffle 3. Both ends of the inner side of the side baffle 3 are rotatably connected to drive shafts 8. The drive shafts 8 are interconnected by a conveyor belt 9. A second drive motor 11 is installed at one end of the inner side of the side baffle 3. The output end of the second drive motor 11 is driven by a cutting wheel 12. A top pressure plate 13 is installed at the upper inner side of the side baffle 3. Both ends of the pressure plate 13 are fixedly connected to connecting blocks 14. A first spring structure 15 is provided between the lower end of the connecting block 14 and the upper surface of the side baffle 3. A sliding groove 16 is provided on the lower surface of the top pressure plate 13. A sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 16. A side pressure plate 18 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod 17. A second spring structure 19 is provided between one side surface of the side pressure plate 18 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 16. Through the provided structures such as the top pressure plate 13 and the side pressure plate 18, corn is placed into the conveyor. When the corn is conveyed between the protrusions 10 on the surface of the conveyor belt 9, as the corn is about to enter the cutting range of the cutting wheel 12, the top pressure plate 13 first squeezes the height of the corn to ensure its vertical position during cutting. Then, after corn of different lengths enters the lower part of the top pressure plate 13, it is squeezed by the side pressure plate 18, so that one end of the corn is pressed tightly against the inner side of the side baffle 3 for conveying. This ensures that the length of the corn cut by the cutting wheel 12 is equal at the end near the side baffle 3, ensuring the vertical position and uniform length of the corn cut. This greatly improves cutting efficiency and product standardization, reduces the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and enhances the market competitiveness of the product. It effectively avoids the problem that when the machine cuts corn of different lengths, due to the lack of a flexible adjustment mechanism and precise cutting control, it is often difficult to ensure that the length of the cut corn reaches a uniform standard. This technical limitation leads to a decrease in cutting efficiency, increases the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and also affects the market competitiveness of the product.

[0024] Example 1: Several protrusions 10 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 9. The cross-section of the protrusions 10 is triangular. When the corn is conveyed and cut by the conveyor belt 9, the corn is separated and conveyed by the protrusions 10, which improves the efficiency and uniformity of conveying and cutting, and avoids the accumulation and damage of corn during the conveying process. The lower end of the support leg 1 is fixedly connected to the base 2.

[0025] Example 2: A control panel 4 is fixedly installed on one end of one side surface of the side baffle 3, and a first drive motor 5 is installed on the other end of the outer side surface of the side baffle 3. The output end of the first drive motor 5 is connected to a drive gear 6. A driven gear 7 is installed on one end of the surface of the drive shaft 8. The drive gear 6 and the driven gear 7 mesh with each other. When in use, the first drive motor 5 drives the drive gear 6 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 7 to rotate, and finally causing the drive shaft 8 to rotate, so as to achieve the purpose of conveying the corn on the surface of the conveyor belt 9.

[0026] In operation, corn is first placed on conveyor belt 9. The protrusions 10 on the surface of conveyor belt 9 separate and evenly transport the corn. As the corn moves with conveyor belt 9 to the cutting range of cutting wheel 12, the top pressure plate 13 presses the corn to ensure it is in a vertical position. Then, the side pressure plate 18 adjusts according to the different lengths of the corn, ensuring that one end of the corn is close to the inside of the side baffle 3, guaranteeing that the length of the corn near the side baffle 3 is equal. Cutting wheel 12 then cuts the corn, resulting in corn of uniform length. This improves cutting efficiency and product standardization, reduces the difficulty of subsequent sorting and processing, and enhances market competitiveness. During operation, the first drive motor 5 and the second drive motor 11 can be adjusted via control panel 4 to control the operation of conveyor belt 9 and cutting wheel 12, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire cutting process.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
