[0019] This utility model embodiment provides a cutting machine for fresh chili peppers, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the cutting machine for fresh chili peppers includes: a cutting box 1; a guide hopper 2, which is fixedly installed inside the cutting box 1; a fixing groove 3, which is fixedly installed inside the cutting box 1 and located below the guide hopper 2; a discharge port 4, which is opened on the fixing groove 3; a support plate 5, which is fixedly installed inside the cutting box 1; a rotary motor 6, which is fixedly installed on the support plate 5; a cutting blade 7, which is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the rotary motor 6 and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the discharge port 4; and a movable mechanism, which is arranged on the fixing groove 3 and is used to push the fresh chili peppers toward the discharge port 4.

[0020] In this embodiment, the cutting box 1 serves as the main structure of the entire cutting machine, providing a foundation for the installation and support of other components, ensuring the stability and safety of the cutting process. The guide hopper 2 guides the fresh chili peppers into the cutting area. Through a reasonable design, the fresh chili peppers can enter the fixed groove 3 in an orderly and smooth manner, preparing for subsequent cutting. The fixed groove 3 not only provides a stable cutting platform for the fresh chili peppers but also ensures, through its shape and size design, that the cutting blade 7 can accurately and evenly cut the fresh chili peppers. The design of the discharge port 4 allows the cut chili peppers to leave the cutting area smoothly and quickly, avoiding blockages and accumulation. The design of the support plate 5 allows the rotary motor 6 to operate stably, thus ensuring the stability and cutting effect of the cutting blade 7.

The shape and size of the cutting blade 7 are carefully designed to accurately and evenly cut the fresh chili peppers, meeting different cutting needs. Simultaneously, the corresponding arrangement of the cutting blade 7 and the discharge port 4 ensures that the cut chili peppers can be smoothly discharged. The design of the moving mechanism allows the fresh chili peppers to move forward continuously and stably during the cutting process, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the cut. At the same time, the moving mechanism can adjust the pushing speed according to cutting needs, thus achieving flexible control over cutting efficiency.

[0021] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movable mechanism includes a support frame 8, two rotating shafts 9, two push wheels 10, two second bevel gears 13, and a drive mechanism. The support frame 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed groove 3. The two rotating shafts 9 are rotatably installed on the support frame 8 and are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed groove 3. The two push wheels 10 are fixedly installed on the two rotating shafts 9. The two push wheels 10 penetrate the side wall of the fixed groove 3 and are correspondingly arranged at the bottom of the guide bucket 2. The two second bevel gears 13 are respectively fixedly installed at the other end of the two rotating shafts 9. The drive mechanism is arranged inside the cutting box 1 and is used to drive the two push wheels 10 to rotate.

[0022] In this embodiment, the support frame 8 ensures that the push wheel 10 can rotate stably, thereby propelling the fresh chili peppers forward in the fixed groove 3. The rotating shaft 9 serves as the carrier of the push wheel 10, allowing it to rotate around its axis. The rotation of the rotating shaft 9 achieves the pushing action of the push wheel 10 on the fresh chili peppers, while maintaining the stability and continuity of the pushing force. The surface of the push wheel 10 is designed with anti-slip or elastic material to better contact the fresh chili peppers and propel them forward. The rotation of the push wheel 10 continuously and stably propels the fresh chili peppers forward in the fixed groove 3, avoiding blockages and accumulation, while ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the cutting. Precise control of the rotation of the rotating shaft 9 is achieved through the meshing of the second bevel gear 13 with the bevel gear in the drive mechanism, thereby controlling the rotation speed and direction of the push wheel 10. The drive mechanism provides a stable and continuous driving force to the moving mechanism, ensuring that the push wheel 10 can rotate continuously and stably, thus propelling the fresh chili peppers forward in the fixed groove 3. Simultaneously, the design of the drive mechanism makes the control of the pushing speed and direction more precise and flexible.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a connecting shaft 11, two first bevel gears 12, a fixing plate 14, a drive motor 15, two drive gears 16, and a transmission chain 17. The connecting shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 8. The two first bevel gears 12 are respectively fixedly mounted on both ends of the connecting shaft 11. The fixing plate 14 is fixedly mounted inside the cutting box 1. The drive motor 15 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 14. The two drive gears 16 are respectively fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 15 and the connecting shaft 11. The transmission chain 17 is sleeved on the two drive gears 16.

[0024] In this embodiment, the design of the connecting shaft 11 enables the synchronous rotation of the two first bevel gears 12, which in turn drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 9 and the push wheel 10 via the second bevel gear 13. Simultaneously, the connecting shaft 11, as part of the transmission chain 17, ensures stable transmission of driving force. The meshing design of the first bevel gear 12 and the second bevel gear 13 allows the driving force to be transmitted at a 90-degree angle, thus adapting to the complex spatial layout inside the cutting machine. Furthermore, the meshing of the bevel gears provides high transmission efficiency and stability. The fixed plate 14 ensures stable operation of the drive motor 15, avoiding transmission errors or malfunctions caused by vibration or shaking. The drive motor 15 provides stable and continuous driving force, ensuring the normal operation of the entire drive mechanism. Simultaneously, by adjusting the speed and power of the drive motor, precise control of the rotation speed and driving force of the push wheel 10 can be achieved. The cooperative design of the drive gear 16 and the transmission chain 17 allows the driving force to be transmitted with high efficiency while reducing energy loss during transmission.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a collection box 18 is slidably installed inside the cutting box 1. The collection box 18 slides through the side wall of the cutting box 1 and is correspondingly arranged with the discharge port 4. Two support plates 19 are fixedly installed on the cutting box 1, and both support plates 19 are in sliding contact with the bottom of the collection box 18.

[0026] In this embodiment, the design of the collection box 18 allows the cut fresh chili peppers to fall directly into it, avoiding the scattering and waste of chili peppers during the cutting process. Simultaneously, the sliding installation design makes the collection box 18 easy to remove and empty, improving operational convenience and efficiency. The addition of the support plate 19 enhances the stability of the collection box 18 within the cutting box 1, ensuring that the collection box 18 maintains the correct position and posture during cutting, and also reduces potential safety risks caused by the shaking of the collection box 18.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a feeding hopper 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cutting box 1, and a conveying mechanism is provided inside the cutting box 1 for conveying fresh chili peppers from the feeding hopper 20 to the guide hopper 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, fresh chili peppers are introduced into the cutting machine through the feed hopper 20 and then conveyed to the guide hopper 2 by the conveying mechanism. The design of the feed hopper 20 allows the fresh chili peppers to enter the cutting machine in an orderly and concentrated manner, avoiding scattering and waste during the cutting process. Furthermore, the shape and size of the feed hopper 20 can be adjusted according to actual needs to accommodate fresh chili peppers of different sizes and shapes. The design of the conveying mechanism allows the fresh chili peppers to be automatically and continuously conveyed from the feed hopper 20 to the guide hopper 2 without manual intervention, improving the automation level and operational efficiency of the cutting machine. Additionally, the speed and conveying capacity of the conveying mechanism can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different production requirements.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conveying mechanism includes a plurality of drive rollers 21, a conveyor belt 22 and a fixed motor 23. The plurality of drive rollers 21 are rotatably installed inside the cutting box 1. The conveyor belt 22 is sleeved on the plurality of drive rollers 21. The fixed motor 23 is fixedly installed outside the cutting box 1. The output shaft of the fixed motor 23 is fixedly connected to any of the drive rollers 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive rollers 21 serve as the support and drive components for the conveyor belt 22. They are connected to the side wall or bottom of the cutting box 1 via bearings or similar devices, ensuring free rotation. The design of the drive rollers 21 enables the conveyor belt 22 to operate smoothly and continuously, providing stable power for the transport of fresh chili peppers. The conveyor belt 22 is typically made of wear-resistant and durable materials to ensure good performance during long-term operation. The design of the conveyor belt 22 allows fresh chili peppers to be continuously and stably transported from the feed hopper 20 to the guide hopper 2 without manual intervention. The stationary motor 23 serves as the power source for the conveying mechanism, providing stable driving force for the operation of the drive rollers 21 and the conveyor belt 22, enabling the conveying mechanism to operate continuously and stably, providing reliable power for the transport of fresh chili peppers. Simultaneously, by adjusting the speed and power of the stationary motor, precise control of the conveying speed and transport volume can be achieved to adapt to different production needs.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a vibration motor is fixedly installed on the guide bucket 2 to drive the guide bucket 2 to vibrate.

[0032] In this embodiment, a vibrating motor drives the guide hopper 2 to vibrate. This vibration helps promote the flow of fresh chili peppers within the guide hopper 2, preventing blockages or accumulation and ensuring that the fresh chili peppers can smoothly enter the cutting mechanism. The vibration of the vibrating motor effectively prevents the fresh chili peppers from clogging or accumulating in the guide hopper 2, especially when processing large quantities or highly viscous fresh chili peppers. Through the action of the vibrating motor, the fresh chili peppers can enter the cutting mechanism more smoothly, thereby improving cutting efficiency. The introduction of the vibrating motor reduces the need for manual cleaning of the guide hopper 2, lowering the labor intensity of the operators.

[0033] In summary, compared with related technologies, this device achieves efficient, continuous, and uniform cutting of fresh chili peppers, while improving the automation level and ease of operation of the cutting process. By optimizing the design of the cutting mechanism, it solves the problems of low efficiency and uneven cutting inherent in traditional cutting methods, meeting the needs of large-scale production and high-quality processing. Furthermore, the introduction of innovative designs such as a conveying mechanism, collection box, and vibration motor further enhances the overall performance of the cutting machine and the user experience, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and increases production efficiency.
