The controller 3 controls the infrared sensor 504, the electric telescopic rod 505, and the pressure sensor 510. When a fruit is put into the fixed cylinder 501, the controller 3 starts the electric telescopic rod 505 under the action of the infrared sensor 504, causing the drive end of the electric telescopic rod 505 to move downward. This, in turn, drives the moving disc 506 and the push slider 507 to move downward. When the push slider 507 moves downward, it drives the top support slider 508, the connecting shell, the pressure sensor 510, and the fixed pressure plate 511 to move towards the center of the fixed cylinder 501, thereby clamping and limiting the fruit. Under the action of the pressure sensor 510, when the fruit is clamped to a certain force, the controller 3 stops the operation of the electric telescopic rod 505.

The rotating rod 405 drives the drive gear 406 and the rotating gear 407 to rotate. When the drive gear 406 rotates, it drives the driven gear 408 to rotate. The driven gear 408 drives the drive rod 409, the rotating turntable 410, and the cutting blade 411 to rotate, thereby performing the fruit slicing work. When the rotating gear 407 rotates, it drives the transmission gear 412 to rotate. The transmission gear 412 drives the rotating screw 413 to rotate. When the rotating screw 413 rotates, it drives the moving slider 415 and the moving push rod 416 to move downward on the side wall of the rotating screw 413, thereby gradually pushing the fruit downward, so that the cutting blade 411 can continuously slice the fruit.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
