Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mushroom production equipment, and in particular to a mushroom cutting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and processing of edible fungi such as enoki mushrooms, the roots need to be removed by a root-cutting mechanism. Currently, root-cutting mechanisms on the market are mainly divided into two categories: vibration type and high-speed rotation type, distinguished according to their working principle.

[0003] The working principle of the vibratory root-cutting mechanism is to mount a blade on an ultrasonic vibration device, using the micro-vibration of the blade for cutting. In this mechanism, the root-cutting blade is stably positioned on the movement path of the mushroom. As the mushroom passes by, the root is cut by the vibration of the blade. However, because the blade position is fixed, the main power for cutting the mushroom root comes from the rotation of the turntable that drives the mushroom. The turntable speed is limited by the time requirements of each processing station, making high-speed rotation impossible. This directly leads to insufficient shearing force during root cutting, resulting in an uneven cut surface and affecting the overall root-cutting effect.

[0004] On the other hand, high-speed rotary root-cutting mechanisms use a motor to drive a cutting disc that rotates at high speed. The disc is equipped with multiple blades that work together to cut the mushroom root. The cut surface of this type of mechanism is composed of small cuts formed by the individual blades. However, during the cutting process, the mushroom vibrates slightly due to the resistance of the blades. This can cause the small cuts to not connect perfectly, creating step-like imperfections and resulting in an uneven overall cut surface, affecting the final product quality.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this disclosure, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] Existing root-cutting mechanisms are categorized into two types based on their operating methods: vibration type and high-speed rotary type. In the vibration type, the cutting blades are fixed, and the shearing force for cutting the mushroom roots is primarily provided by the rotation of a turntable that moves the mushrooms. However, the turntable cannot rotate at high speed due to processing time limitations at each station, resulting in relatively low shearing force, uneven cut surfaces, and poor cutting quality. The high-speed rotary type uses a motor to drive a high-speed rotating cutter head, which then cuts the mushroom roots using multiple blades. The cut surface consists of multiple small cut surfaces from the blades. Because the mushrooms vibrate slightly under the resistance of the blades, the small cut surfaces are discontinuous, often resulting in steps between the small cut surfaces and an overall uneven cut surface.

[0035] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a mushroom cutting mechanism. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the mushroom cutting mechanism in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a bottom view of the mushroom cutting mechanism in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Sectional view of section A in the middle. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the mushroom cutting mechanism in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is an exploded view of the mushroom cutting mechanism in the embodiments of this application.

[0036] The mushroom cutting mechanism in this embodiment includes: a cutting disc 1, a blade 2, a drive mechanism 3, and a mounting base 4.

[0037] Mounting base 4 supports drive mechanism 3 and cutter head 1. Cutter head 1 is rotatably mounted on mounting base 4 and has a blade 2 mounted on it. Blade 2 has an arc-shaped cutting edge 21.

[0038] The drive mechanism 3 is mounted on the mounting base 4 and connected to the cutter head 1, and is configured to drive the cutter head 1 to rotate.

[0039] When cutting mushrooms, the drive mechanism 3 drives the cutter head 1 to rotate, the cutter head 1 drives the blade 2 to rotate, and the blade 2 cuts off the root of the mushroom in one go through the arc-shaped blade 21, that is, the root of the mushroom is cut off by the blade 2 in one cut.

[0040] The above technical solution for mushroom cutting mechanism has only one blade 2 installed on the blade disc 1, and the blade 2 has a curved blade 21. When the curved blade 21 comes into contact with the mushroom root, it cuts the mushroom root in one go through a gradual and sliding manner, that is, it cuts the mushroom in one cut. Compared with the traditional cutting method, the cut surface formed is smoother, which can improve the quality of mushroom products.

[0041] In one embodiment where the cutter head 1 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 4, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, a connecting shaft 32, a bearing 33, and a bearing housing 34. The mounting base 4 has a bearing housing 34, within which a bearing 33 is housed. The connecting shaft 32 is housed within the bearing 33. One end of the connecting shaft 32 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cutter head 1. The drive motor 31 serves as the power source, and its selection must consider factors such as cutting efficiency, load capacity, and energy consumption. Typically, a brushless DC motor or an AC servo motor is used to ensure stable speed and torque output. The bearing housing 34 contains a precision bearing 33 to support the rotation of the connecting shaft 32. A rolling bearing 33 can be used to reduce frictional resistance and improve rotational accuracy and lifespan. The bearing housing 34 is fixed to the mounting base 4 using fasteners (such as bolts) to ensure structural stability.

[0042] In one embodiment of the above-described cutter head 1 with a blade 2 installed, see [reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cutter head 1 includes a base plate 11 and a cover plate 12 sleeved on the connecting shaft 32. The base plate 11 and the cover plate 12 are fixedly connected, and a limiting groove 101 is provided between them. The blade 2 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 32 and fixed in the limiting groove 101. The limiting groove 101 is used to accurately position and fix the blade 2, ensuring that the blade 2 will not shift during rotation.

[0043] Further, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the blade 2 has a connecting part 22, which has a sleeve hole for fitting the connecting shaft 32 and is adapted to the shape of the limiting groove 101. The connecting part 22 is confined within the limiting groove 101 in the circumferential direction of the connecting shaft 32. The shape and size of the limiting groove 101 must be adapted to the blade 2 to ensure the stability of the blade 2 installation while facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the blade 2. The depth and width of the limiting groove 101 are slightly larger than the connecting part 22 of the blade 2, while leaving an appropriate gap to avoid jamming problems caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

[0044] To improve the robustness of the connection between the cover plate 12 and the blade 2, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the top of the cover plate 12 has a groove 102, and the connecting shaft 32 has a nut 35 for fixing the cover plate 12, the blade 2, and the base plate 11. The nut 35 is located in the groove 102. After the blade 2 is installed in place, the cover plate 12, the blade 2, and the base plate 11 are tightly pressed together by rotating the nut 35 installed at the end of the connecting shaft 32, forming a solid fixed structure. The tightening torque of the nut 35 needs to be strictly controlled to ensure sufficient clamping force while avoiding deformation or damage caused by over-tightening. The depth and diameter of the groove 102 are slightly larger than the outer diameter of the nut 35 to ensure that the nut 35 can be completely sunk into the groove 102 without affecting the rotational balance of the cutter head 1. A locking washer or thread-locking agent can be added below the nut 35 to prevent loosening due to vibration during long-term use.

[0045] To improve the applicability of blade 2 to different cutting positions on different types of mushrooms, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mushroom cutting mechanism also includes a base 5 and a lifting mechanism 6. The mounting base 4 and the base 5 are connected by a guide rail 61. The lifting mechanism 6 is mounted on the base 5 and connected to the mounting base 4. It is configured to drive the mounting base 4 to move up and down to adjust the height of the blade 2.

[0046] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lifting mechanism 6 mainly consists of a guide rail 61, a lead screw 62, a motor, and a controller. The lead screw 62 is connected to the mounting base 4 via a nut seat. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the mounting base 4 to move up and down along the guide rail. The guide rail uses a precision linear guide rail to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting process. The controller receives instructions from the human-machine interface or sensors and controls the forward and reverse rotation and speed of the motor to achieve precise lifting of the mounting base 4. The controller has multiple preset cutting height parameters, which users can select or customize according to their actual needs.

[0047] In order to achieve precise root cutting of mushrooms by blade 2, the mushroom cutting mechanism also includes a position sensor. The position sensor is used to detect the position of the mushroom and feed back the position information of the mushroom to the controller. The controller controls the drive mechanism 3 to work according to the position information, so that the drive mechanism 3 drives the blade 2 to rotate when the mushroom reaches the preset position.

[0048] To avoid scattering debris during root cutting, refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the mushroom cutting mechanism also includes a protective cover 7 that surrounds the blade 2. The protective cover 7 is fixed to the mounting base 4 by bolts, and forms a channel for the mushrooms to pass through between the protective cover 7 and the mounting base 4.

[0049] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
