[0023] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This utility model discloses a continuous apple peeling, slicing, and packaging fresh-cutting device. By installing an apple storage and lifting assembly on a support frame, apples can be stored and transported upwards along the height of the support frame. A first slider moves along a horizontal guide rail, driving a vertical linear module to move towards the target apple. A first servo motor, driven by a second slider, moves downwards along the vertical linear module. The tip of the gripping needle grips the target apple in the apple storage and lifting assembly. The horizontal and vertical linear modules, the first servo motor, and the gripping needle constitute a gripping and moving assembly. The apple on the gripping and moving assembly moves in opposite directions to the peeling and slicing blades in the container, driven by the first slider. When it reaches directly above the peeling blade, the apple on the gripping and moving assembly moves downwards to the peeling blade position, driven by the second slider. The apple can then perform circular motion driven by the first servo motor, with the peeling blade gripping the apple on the gripping needle. The apple is peeled, and after peeling, the apple moves in the opposite direction to its initial position under the action of the second slider. Then, it continues to move towards the slicing blade under the action of the first slider. The peeled apple is then pressed down towards the slicing blade in the same way. Under the action of the slicing blade, the slicing is completed. Before this, the guide plate rotates in the guide barrel and its lower end is already attached to the cup. The apple slices can fall into the cup along the guide plate. The cup drag rail, cup drag, cup and automatic sealing mechanism form the packaging assembly. When the cup containing apple slices moves along the cup drag rail to the bottom of the automatic sealing machine, the automatic sealing machine can automatically seal it. At this time, the packaging assembly is completed. After slicing, the apple core on the gripping needle can be removed by the slicing blade when it moves upward. The gripping needle then moves back to its initial position in the opposite direction and then moves towards another target apple. The previous process is repeated, and finally, the continuous peeling, slicing and packaging of apples can be achieved. This utility model has a simple structure, strong practicality, short operation time, and is environmentally friendly and healthy, providing reliable theoretical and technical support for the automation and continuous production of fresh-cut apple products and the improvement of their quality.
