Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to food processing equipment, specifically to an automatic jujube shredding device. Background Technology

[0002] Candied dates are a type of dried fruit. Before processing, patterns need to be cut into the surface of fresh dates to help the sugar penetrate the fruit. The process of cutting patterns is as follows: cut patterns from bottom to top on the fresh date skin, ensuring the patterns are evenly distributed across the surface. The depth and spacing of the patterns vary depending on the size of the dates. It is evident that manually cutting patterns makes it difficult to guarantee the distribution, depth, and distance of the patterns, and it is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0003] CN113734737A discloses an automatic jujube slicing machine, which includes a screening mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a slicing mechanism. The screening mechanism separates jujubes of different sizes and feeds them into the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism has several jujube conveying channels, which are used to convey jujubes of different sizes and sort them before quantitatively feeding them into the slicing mechanism. The number of slicing mechanisms is the same as the number of jujube conveying channels. When the jujubes enter the slicing mechanism, they are sliced. However, this equipment has the following disadvantages: 1. In the conveying mechanism, a slider and a slider driving structure are set at the end of the conveying track. The discharge is determined by the extension and retraction of the slider. 2. In the slicing mechanism, the slicing cylinder is set vertically. The jujubes fall into the funnel-shaped opening from the end of the conveying track, and then pass through the long slicing cylinder to reach a position near the top of the slicing blades before stopping. The jujubes roll naturally a long distance due to gravity, and the movement trajectory and speed of the jujubes are uncertain, which increases the processing time and affects the slicing efficiency. 3. The dicing blade has a complex structure. A set of dicing blades is fixed in one dicing cylinder and the dicing blades are not replaceable. Utility Model Content

[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0035] An automatic jujube slicing device includes a feeding mechanism and a slicing mechanism sequentially arranged on a frame. The feeding mechanism includes a first chute; the slicing mechanism includes a cylinder, a cylindrical slider, a drive assembly, and a cutter. The cylinder is horizontally arranged along the front-to-back direction, with a feeding port on its side wall. The end of the first chute connects to the feeding port. The cutter is disposed inside the cylinder and located in front of the feeding port. The drive assembly drives the cylindrical slider to move back and forth within the cylinder, moving it backward to behind the feeding port and forward to push the fresh jujubes out of the cylinder. Preferably, the central angle corresponding to the feeding port of the cylinder is 90 degrees.

[0036] The drive assembly includes a connecting rod, a first transmission rod, a second transmission rod, and a motor. The rear end of the cylindrical slider is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting rod, which extends in the front-to-back direction. The connecting rod, the first transmission rod, and the second transmission rod are hinged sequentially to form a crank-slider mechanism. The motor drives the second transmission rod to rotate. To save materials, the remaining portion, except for the necessary cylindrical slider, is extended using the connecting rod. The motor drives the second transmission rod to rotate as a crank, which in turn drives the first transmission rod to rotate, and the first transmission rod drives the connecting rod to translate.

[0037] Both the front and rear ends of the cylinder are equipped with annular flanges. The annular flange at the front end is fixed to the steel plate by the first fixing block, and the annular flange at the rear end is fixed to the steel plate by the second fixing block. The motor is fixed to the steel plate by the third fixing block. The steel plate is mounted on the frame.

[0038] The feeding mechanism also includes a hopper and a connector; the lower end of the hopper is connected to the upper end of the first chute via the connector. The hopper, used for filling fresh dates, is located at the top of the entire device and is fixed by square steel. The connector ensures a tight connection to prevent the fresh dates from detaching from the first chute.

[0039] The feeding mechanism also includes a buffer assembly located at the end of the first chute.

[0040] The buffer assembly includes a first straight rod, a second straight rod, a fixing member, and a baffle plate. The first straight rod, the fixing member, and the second straight rod are connected in sequence to form a door structure for the fresh dates to pass through. The baffle plate is fixed to the lower end of the fixing member. A groove can be provided below the fixing member, and the upper end of the baffle plate is inserted into the groove by an interference fit. The baffle plate is an elastic sheet with its lower section cut into a strip.

[0041] The outer diameter of the front section of the cylindrical slider is smaller than that of the rear section to ensure that the front section can pass through the tool smoothly; the outer diameter of the rear section of the cylindrical slider corresponds to the inner diameter of the cylinder to ensure that the cylindrical slider slides smoothly back and forth.

[0042] The cutting tool includes a mounting section and a scriber. The mounting section is cylindrical, and the scribers are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the mounting section. The scribers are strip-shaped and arranged along the front-to-back direction. The end of the cylinder is fitted onto the outside of the cutting tool. The cylinder and the mounting section are locked together by a detachable fixing pin to achieve a detachable connection. To disassemble the cutting tool, simply remove the fixing pin connecting the cylinder and the cutting tool; it is simple and quick.

[0043] The cutting tool is cast in one piece; the cutting tool is available in various models.

[0044] An automatic jujube shredding device further includes a discharge mechanism; the discharge mechanism is a second chute, the upper end of which is connected to the front end of a cylinder. A hopper can also be installed below the second chute as needed.

[0045] The device of this utility model has a frame made of square steel splicing, a wire cutting mechanism fixed on the frame by steel plate, and a first sliding groove made by cutting and bending square steel.

[0046] The operation process of the device is as follows:

[0047] Fresh dates are loaded into the hopper. The dates slide down the first chute under gravity, are slowed down by the buffer component, and enter the cylinder in an orderly manner for the shredding operation.

[0048] When the cylindrical slider moves to the rear of the feed inlet, the feed inlet opens, and a fresh date enters the cylinder. The date is pushed forward by the cylindrical slider, scribbles on by the cutting tool, and finally exits from the front of the cylinder, falling into the second chute. Due to the obstruction of the cylindrical slider, the next fresh date will not enter the cylinder until the cylindrical slider moves to the rear of the feed inlet.

[0049] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
