[0025] Please see Figs. 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an apple preserve processing robot, comprising:

[0026] Mobile base 1;

[0027] Mounting frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer wall of the movable base 1;

[0028] The fixing mechanism 3 is located inside the mounting frame 2. The fixing mechanism 3 includes a limiting frame 301, a moving part and multiple limiting grooves 302. The limiting frame 301 is located on the moving part, the moving part is located inside the mounting frame 2, and each limiting groove 302 is equally spaced on one side of the outer wall of the limiting frame 301.

[0029] The slicing mechanism 4 is located within the mounting frame 2. The slicing mechanism 4 includes a driving component and a slicing device 401. The driving component is located within the mounting frame 2, and the slicing device 401 is located on the driving component.

[0030] The cleaning mechanism 5 is located within the mounting frame 2. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a movable part and a cleaning pipe 501. The movable part is located within the mounting frame 2, and the cleaning pipe 501 is located on the movable part.

[0031] In this implementation scheme: the movable base 1 provides stable support and mobility for the apple preserve processing robot. The fixing mechanism 3 within the mounting frame 2 secures the peeled and cored apples, preventing deformation or scattering during slicing, which would result in uneven slice thickness and irregular shape, affecting the appearance of the apple preserves. The limiting frame 301 restricts the position of the apples. A moving component drives the limiting frame 301 to move, facilitating the movement of the sliced ​​apples and simultaneously securing them. The limiting groove 302 cooperates with the slicing device 401 to cut apple slices of uniform thickness. The slicing mechanism 4 then slices the apples. The process involves driving the slicing device 401 to move via a drive component, allowing the slicing device 401 to slice the apples within the limiting frame 301. The cleaning mechanism 5 cleans the slicing device 401 and the fixing mechanism 3 within the mounting frame 2, preventing apple juice and residue from remaining on them, which could easily breed bacteria and compromise the food safety of the apple preserves. The moving component drives the cleaning pipe 501 to move within the mounting frame 2, rinsing the slicing device 401 and the fixing mechanism 3 to prevent bacterial growth. One end of the cleaning pipe 501 extends through one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2, and the cleaning pipe 501 is connected to an external water tank and water pump via a pipe.

[0032] Specifically, the moving component includes a first cylinder 303, two moving holes 304, and two sets of fixing components. The first cylinder 303 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2. Each moving hole 304 is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2. Each set of fixing components is symmetrically arranged on the limiting frame 301. The limiting frame 301 is fixedly set at the output end of the first cylinder 303, and the limiting frame 301 is slidably embedded between each moving hole 304.

[0033] In this embodiment: the first cylinder 303 drives the limiting frame 301 to move within the mounting frame 2, which can push the sliced ​​apple to the discharge port 8 for subsequent processing of the apple slices. The moving hole 304 guides the movement of the limiting frame 301 and increases the stability of the movement of the limiting frame 301. The fixing component is used to fix the apple.

[0034] Specifically, each set of fixing components includes a fixing bracket 305 and a second cylinder 306. The second cylinder 306 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the limiting frame 301, and the fixing bracket 305 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second cylinder 306.

[0035] In this embodiment: the second cylinder 306 drives the fixing frame 305 to move closer to each other, which can clamp and fix the apple to prevent the apple from deforming or falling apart during slicing, resulting in uneven slice thickness and irregular shape, thus affecting the appearance of the apple preserve. The fixing frame 305 is equipped with a sensor to detect the distance between the limiting frame 301 and the fixing frame 305, so that the slicing device 401 can enter the corresponding limiting groove 302 as needed.

[0036] Specifically, the driving components include a first threaded rod 402, a first forward and reverse motor 403, a moving block 404, and a third cylinder 405. The first forward and reverse motor 403 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2. The first threaded rod 402 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the first forward and reverse motor 403. The moving block 404 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the first threaded rod 402. The third cylinder 405 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the moving block 404. The slicing device 401 is installed at the output end of the third cylinder 405. The moving block 404 is slidably embedded in one side of the inner wall of the mounting frame 2.

[0037] In this embodiment: When the first forward and reverse motor 403 is energized, it drives the first threaded rod 402 to rotate. The first threaded rod 402 rotates within the mounting frame 2, which drives the moving block 404 to move, changing the position of the slicing device 401. This causes the slicing device 401 to enter the limiting groove 302 in sequence to cut the apple and produce apple slices of uniform thickness. The third cylinder 405 can drive the slicing device 401 into the limiting groove 302.

[0038] Specifically, the movable components include a second threaded rod 502, a second forward and reverse motor 503, a movable frame 504, and a guide rod 505. The second threaded rod 502 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second forward and reverse motor 503. The second forward and reverse motor 503 is bolted to one side of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2. The movable frame 504 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second threaded rod 502. The guide rod 505 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 2. The movable frame 504 and the guide rod 505 are in sliding fit. The cleaning pipe 501 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the movable frame 504.

[0039] In this embodiment: when the second forward and reverse motor 503 is energized, it drives the second threaded rod 502 to rotate, which can drive the movable frame 504 to move on the guide rod 505, and drive the cleaning tube 501 to move within the mounting frame 2, so as to facilitate rinsing the slicing device 401 and the fixing mechanism 3. Multiple downward-sloping nozzles are equidistantly arranged on one side of the outer wall of the cleaning tube 501 to facilitate rinsing the slicing device 401.

[0040] Specifically, a control device 6 is installed on the top of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2, a feed inlet 7 is fixedly embedded on the top of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2, and a discharge outlet 8 is fixedly embedded on the bottom of the outer wall of the mounting frame 2.

[0041] In this embodiment: the control device 6 is used to process information from the sensor and control various operations. The apple slices are allowed to enter the limiting frame 301 through the feed port 7 and leave the mounting frame 2 through the discharge port 8, so as to facilitate subsequent processing of the apple slices. The control device 6, the slicing device 401, the first cylinder 303, the second cylinder 306, the first forward and reverse motor 403, the third cylinder 405, and the second forward and reverse motor 503 are powered by an external power source and should be electrically connected to the external power source. The internal circuit principle and structure are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. The model can be selected according to the actual use.

[0042] In operation, firstly, peeled and cored apples are placed into the limiting frame 301 through the feed inlet 7. The second cylinder 306 drives the fixing frames 305 to move closer together, clamping and fixing the apples to prevent deformation or scattering during slicing. Then, the first forward / reverse motor 403 is activated, driving the first threaded rod 402 to rotate, which in turn moves the moving block 404, changing the position of the slicing device 401. Next, the third cylinder 405 is activated, causing the slicing device 401 to sequentially enter the limiting groove 302 to cut the apples into uniformly thick slices. After slicing, the first cylinder 306 is activated again. Cylinder 303 drives the limiting frame 301 to move within the mounting frame 2, pushing the sliced ​​apples to the discharge port 8 for subsequent processing. Then, the second forward and reverse motor 503 is activated, driving the second threaded rod 502 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable frame 504 to move on the guide rod 505. This, in turn, drives the cleaning tube 501 to move within the mounting frame 2, facilitating the rinsing device 401 and the fixing mechanism 3. This prevents apple juice and residue from remaining on the slicing device 401 and the fixing mechanism 3, which could easily breed bacteria and compromise the food safety of the dried apples.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
