Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit processing, specifically to a fruit dicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The main purpose of dicing fruit is for preservation and transportation. Diced fruit is easier to preserve through methods such as freeze-drying, and it is also easier to package and transport. It can also be used for further processing. Dicing fruit not only improves the convenience and practicality of food, but also enhances its aesthetics and diversity.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN202420495797.6, entitled "A Fruit Dicing Machine," discloses a fruit dicing machine. It incorporates a baffle, a cutting opening, a sliding rod, a fixing ring, and a first spring. The baffle, under the action of the first spring, remains in place as the cutting blade rises, thus blocking the fruit and preventing it from following the blade. These components enrich the structure of existing dicing machines, improving their functionality and practicality. However, the patent has the following shortcomings: the machine can only perform cross-cuts to cut the fruit into fruit shapes. If dicing is required, the fruit strips must be manually removed and cut again. Furthermore, after each cut, the base must be manually rotated for another cut, resulting in low fruit-cutting efficiency. Therefore, a more advanced fruit dicing machine is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the problems of low dicing efficiency and the fact that the existing technology can only cut fruits into strips.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a fruit processing dicing machine, comprising: a base, a horizontal feed pipe mounted on the base, a pair of slitting units fitted together and mounted on the same end of the feed pipe, a dicing unit mounted on the base for cutting fruit strips passing through the slitting units, and a pushing unit mounted on the base for pushing the fruit toward the slitting units.

[0006] The dicing unit includes a vertically positioned plate-shaped cutter that can move horizontally. The distance between the plate-shaped cutter and the slitting unit away from the feed pipe is less than 1 cm. The slitting unit includes a pair of parallel mounting arms that are fixedly connected to the two sides opposite to the end of the feed pipe, and several strip-shaped cutters that are spaced apart along the length of the mounting arms and can be detachably mounted on the mounting arms. The mounting arms in the pair of slitting units are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting arm has a through groove of the same length, the mounting arm is fitted with a mounting bolt passing through the through groove, the mounting arm has a slot for the end of the strip cutter to be engaged, and the end of the strip cutter has a mounting hole for the mounting bolt to pass through.

[0008] Preferably, the dicing unit further includes a horizontal first drive push rod mounted on the base via a first mounting bracket and connected at its movable end to a plate-shaped cutter, wherein the length direction of the first drive push rod is perpendicular to the length direction of the feed tube.

[0009] Preferably, a feed channel is provided at the top of the feed pipe away from the cutting unit, and a feed funnel is installed on the feed channel.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding unit includes a second drive push rod mounted on the base via a second mounting bracket and arranged in the same length direction as the feed pipe, and a push plate mounted on the moving end of the second drive push rod and sliding against the inner wall of the feed pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a receiving pipe is fitted on the end of the feed pipe away from the pushing unit, and the end of the receiving pipe is in close contact with the cutting unit away from the feed pipe. A strip-shaped through groove is provided through the receiving pipe for the plate-shaped cutter to pass through.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the fruit dicing machine provided by this utility model has the following advantages in use: the distance between the plate-shaped cutter and the slitting unit away from the feed pipe is less than 1cm, which can not only avoid collision between the two, but also allow the pair of slitting units to hold the fruit strips when the plate-shaped cutter cuts the fruit strips into cubes, preventing the fruit strips from being crooked, so that the plate-shaped cutter can smoothly cut the fruit strips, the shape difference between the fruit cubes is small, and the overall dicing quality of the fruit cubes can be improved; it can process the fruit into cubes in one go, with high dicing efficiency.

[0013] Other features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following detailed description section; and all parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional words such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" included in the terminology only represent the orientation of the term in its conventional use or are common terms understood by those skilled in the art, and should not be regarded as limitations on the term.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a fruit processing dicing machine includes: a base 1, a horizontal feed pipe 2 mounted on the base 1, a pair of slitting units fitted together and mounted on the same end of the feed pipe 2, a dicing unit mounted on the base 1 for cutting fruit strips passing through the slitting units, and a pushing unit mounted on the base 1 for pushing the fruit toward the slitting units.

[0025] The dicing unit includes a vertically positioned plate-shaped cutter 3 that can move horizontally. The distance between the plate-shaped cutter 3 and the slitting unit away from the feed pipe 2 is less than 1 cm. The slitting unit includes a pair of parallel mounting arms 4 that are fixedly connected to the two sides opposite to the end of the feed pipe 2, and a plurality of strip-shaped cutters 5 that are spaced apart along the length of the mounting arms 4 and can be detachably mounted on the mounting arms 4. The mounting arms 4 in the pair of slitting units are perpendicular to each other.

[0026] When fruit is placed into the feed tube 2, the pushing unit will push the fruit towards the slitting unit within the feed tube 2. When the fruit passes through the first set of slitting units, it will be cut into slices. When the fruit slices pass through the second set of slitting units, they will be cut into strips. Because the distance between the plate-shaped cutter 3 and the slitting units away from the feed tube 2 is less than 1cm, when the plate-shaped cutter 3 cuts the fruit strips into cubes, a pair of slitting units can hold the fruit strips, preventing them from tilting. This allows the plate-shaped cutter 3 to cut the fruit strips smoothly, resulting in smaller shape differences between the fruit cubes and improving the overall quality of the diced fruit.

[0027] The mounting arm 4 has a through groove of the same length direction, and the mounting arm 4 is equipped with a mounting bolt 6 that passes through the through groove. The mounting arm 4 is provided with a slot for the end of the strip cutter 5 to be inserted, and the end of the strip cutter 5 is provided with a mounting hole 7 for the mounting bolt 6 to pass through.

[0028] Loosen the mounting bolt 6 to remove it, and the end of the strip cutter 5 can be pulled out from the slot, allowing the strip cutter 5 to be replaced. The operation is simple and convenient. Insert the end of the strip cutter 5 into the slot, and then pass the mounting bolt 6 through the through slot. At this time, the mounting bolt 6 will pass through the mounting hole 7, and the two mounting arms 4 will hold the strip cutter 5 from both ends. If one of the strip cutters 5 is damaged, the single strip cutter 5 can be replaced, which can reduce replacement costs.

[0029] The dicing unit also includes a horizontal first drive push rod 8 that is mounted on the base 1 via a first mounting bracket and whose movable end is connected to the plate-shaped cutter 3. The length direction of the first drive push rod 8 is perpendicular to the length direction of the feed tube 2.

[0030] The first drive push rod 8 drives the plate-shaped cutter 3 to move closer to the feed pipe 2, so that the plate-shaped cutter 3 can cut the fruit strips into cubes. During the dicing process of the plate-shaped cutter 3, the pushing unit stops working. When the plate-shaped cutter 3 returns to its original position, the pushing unit continues to push the fruit toward the dicing unit.

[0031] The top of the feed pipe 2 is provided with a feed channel away from the cutting unit, and a feed funnel 9 is installed on the feed channel.

[0032] When the pushing unit comes into contact with the slicing unit, that is, after the fruit has been diced, the pushing unit returns to its original position and another batch of fruit is put in through the feeding chute. The pushing unit then pushes the fruit in the feeding pipe 2 toward the slicing unit again.

[0033] The feeding unit includes a second drive push rod 10 mounted on the base 1 via a second mounting bracket and arranged in the same length direction as the feed pipe 2, and a push plate 11 mounted on the moving end of the second drive push rod 10 and sliding against the inner wall of the feed pipe 2.

[0034] The second drive push rod 10 pushes the fruit in the feed tube 2 toward the slicing unit via the push plate 11.

[0035] A receiving pipe 12 is installed on the end of the feed pipe 2 away from the pushing unit. The end of the receiving pipe 12 is in close contact with the cutting unit away from the feed pipe 2. A strip-shaped through groove is provided on the receiving pipe 12 for the plate-shaped cutter 3 to pass through.

[0036] The receiving tube 12 can catch the cut fruit pieces and prevent them from scattering everywhere.

[0037] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0039] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
