Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable cutting machine technology, and in particular relates to a V-shaped vegetable cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the increasing demands for quality of life, vegetable cutters, as a type of food processing equipment, have gradually evolved from simple manual tools into automated and intelligent kitchen appliances. Traditional vegetable cutters mainly consist of a conveying mechanism and a cutting mechanism. They are typically driven by a motor, with power transmitted to the cutting mechanism via mechanical transmission systems such as gears and belts. The cutting mechanism is designed according to different cutting needs, such as slicing, shredding, and dicing, while the conveying mechanism is used to transport ingredients to the cutting mechanism, ensuring uniformity and continuity of the cut. However, traditional conveying mechanisms are generally horizontally set or inclined planar structures, which can easily cause material swaying when conveying root vegetables, affecting stable material transport and efficient cutting. Therefore, this invention provides a V-shaped vegetable cutter, in which two conveyor belts are arranged in a V-shape to achieve a good guiding effect on the materials. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this utility model provides a V-shaped vegetable cutter.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A V-shaped vegetable cutter includes a body, which includes a main frame and a protective cover. The protective cover is installed on the outer side of the upper end of the main frame. A circular blade is installed at the front end of the protective cover. The circular blade has multiple cutting grooves evenly distributed in a circular pattern. The circular blade is connected to a drive mechanism inside the protective cover.

[0006] The rear end of the main frame is equipped with a conveying mechanism close to the circular cutter head. The conveying mechanism is equipped with a receiving hopper and two conveyor belts. The two conveyor belts are distributed in a V-shape, and the receiving hopper is installed on the upper side of the outer end of the conveyor belts.

[0007] In one embodiment, the protective cover includes a front protective cover, a lower protective cover, and an upper protective cover. The lower protective cover is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the front protective cover, and the upper protective cover is movably connected to the upper rear end of the front protective cover via a hinge.

[0008] In one embodiment, an electrical control box is embedded in the side of the lower cover, a touch panel is embedded in the outside of the electrical control box, a PLC controller is installed inside the electrical control box, and the PLC controller is connected to the touch panel and the drive mechanism through connecting lines.

[0009] In one embodiment, the circular cutter head is located in the upper middle position of the front guard, and a material collection hopper is provided at the lower end of the front guard.

[0010] In one embodiment, a first water-receiving plate is installed at the bottom of the protective cover, and a second water-receiving plate is installed at the lower end of the conveying mechanism.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lower end of the main frame is fixed with multiple casters equipped with brakes.

[0012] In combination with the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention employs two V-shaped conveyor belts, which provide better guidance and constraint for the material during transport, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the material transport and reducing uneven cutting or cutting failures caused by swaying. It effectively solves the swaying problem that is prone to occur when transporting root and tuber materials in traditional horizontal or inclined plane conveying mechanisms.

[0014] This utility model uses a front cover to collect splashed materials, a lower cover to support the upper cover and hide the electrical control box inside, and the upper cover can be flipped up to facilitate maintenance of the internal parts of the cover.

[0015] This invention uses a water-receiving plate to collect water droplets falling from converging materials and prevents splashing wastewater from entering the equipment; the material-receiving hopper expands the material-receiving range of the conveyor belt. The electrical control box integrates a PLC controller for centralized control of the equipment operation.

[0016] The main frame of this invention is equipped with casters for easy movement.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the body 1 in this embodiment of the present invention includes a main frame 14 and a protective cover. The protective cover is installed on the outer side of the upper end of the main frame 14. A circular cutter disc 16 is installed at the front end of the protective cover. The circular cutter disc 16 has a plurality of uniformly distributed circumferential grooves. The circular cutter disc 16 is connected to the drive mechanism inside the protective cover.

[0026] Preferably, the protective cover in this embodiment includes a front cover 11, a lower cover 12, and an upper cover 13. The lower cover 12 is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the front cover 11, and the upper cover 13 is movably connected to the upper rear end of the front cover 11 via a hinge. The front cover 11 serves to collect splashed materials, the lower cover 12 supports the upper cover and conceals the electrical control box 3 inside, and the upper cover 13 can be flipped up for easy maintenance of the internal parts of the cover.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment of the invention, the electrical control box 3 is embedded in the side of the lower cover 12. A touch panel is embedded on the outside of the electrical control box 3, and a PLC controller is installed inside the electrical control box 3. The PLC controller is connected to the touch panel and the drive mechanism via connecting lines. The integrated PLC controller in the electrical control box 3 facilitates centralized control of equipment operation.
