Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cutting equipment technology, and more specifically, to a vegetable cutting module. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vegetable cutting equipment on the market is mainly divided into two categories: commercial and household. Commercial cutting equipment, such as large meat slicers and vegetable slicers, while powerful in function, suffers from being bulky, heavy, and complex in structure, and has high operating and maintenance costs, making it unsuitable for home use. In contrast, while household food processors are equipped with detachable functional modules, such as drum-type shredders and slicers, users still need to manually change the blades when switching cutting modes. This is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also increases the risk of misoperation and reduces safety.

[0003] Specifically, existing household vegetable cutters require frequent changes of different cutting blades when processing different shapes (such as shredding and slicing) and different types of vegetables (such as stem vegetables and fruit vegetables). This process is tedious, time-consuming, and somewhat dangerous. Furthermore, cleaning these devices is inconvenient, further impacting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a vegetable cutting module to solve the problem that existing vegetable cutters require frequent replacement of different cutting blades for different cutting needs and different types of vegetables, which is cumbersome and dangerous.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a vegetable cutting module, including a conveying mechanism and a blade assembly. The blade assembly is arranged at the tail end of the conveying mechanism. The blade assembly includes a blade and multiple primary processing windows are provided on the blade. Each primary processing window may contain a blade module or be an empty window. The blade is rotatably connected to the outer shell. The rotation of the blade can make different primary processing windows face the tail end of the conveying mechanism.

[0007] A cutting blade is also arranged on one side of the blade disc. The cutting blade is rotatably connected to the outer casing. The cutting blade is used to perform secondary cutting on vegetables that have been processed once by the blade disc assembly.

[0008] The rotation of the blade disc causes different primary processing windows to face the tail end of the conveying mechanism, thereby allowing different primary processing of vegetables through different blade groups or open windows to meet different cutting requirements.

[0009] The cutting blade performs secondary processing on the vegetables processed by the cutting disc. The processing method is cutting, for example, further shredding the vegetables sliced ​​by the cutting disc, further cutting the vegetables cut into strips by the cutting disc into chunks, and directly cutting the vegetables that have not been processed by the cutting disc into sections, such as cutting leafy vegetables into sections.

[0010] The vegetable cutting module of this invention eliminates the need for frequent replacement of different cutting blades. By controlling the rotation of the blade disc and the cutting blade, different cutting operations can be performed on different vegetables, making operation more convenient and avoiding accidental injuries that may occur when changing cutting blades, thus enhancing safety.

[0117] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0118] Example 1

[0119] like Figures 1-22 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vegetable cutting module, including a grid top block assembly 1, which is used to install in the housing 6 of the vegetable cutter, and the top of the housing 6 is provided with a feeding port 3.

[0120] The feeding port 3 is required to be designed to be sufficiently spacious so that the operator can easily put the vegetables to be cut into the vegetable cutting module.

[0121] The grid top block assembly 1 includes a conveying mechanism, which includes a conveyor belt drive wheel 118, a conveyor belt driven wheel, and a conveyor belt 106 wound around the conveyor belt drive wheel 118 and the conveyor belt driven wheel. The conveyor belt drive wheel 118 is connected to a first driving mechanism, which drives the conveyor belt drive wheel 118 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 106 to move.

[0122] The first drive mechanism may, but is not limited to, employ a first motor 109. The first motor 109 drives the drive pulley 118 of the conveyor belt to rotate, and transmits power to the conveying mechanism. The first motor 109 is mounted on a first motor mounting plate 110, which may be mounted on the housing 6.

[0123] The feeding port 3 is located above the conveyor belt 106. Vegetables fed into the feeding port 3 will fall onto the conveyor belt 106 and be transported by the conveyor belt 106.

[0124] The tail end of the conveyor belt 106 is provided with a grid cutter assembly 5, which is used to cut the transported vegetables.

[0125] The top block assembly 1 of the grille also includes two opposing baffles 105, and the conveying mechanism is installed between the two baffles 105. The baffles 105 are connected to the housing 6 by screws to ensure the overall structural strength.

[0126] like Figure 5 and Figure 21As shown, a lead screw assembly 103 is installed on the baffle 105. The lead screw assembly 103 includes a lead screw 103-3 and a lead screw nut 103-4. One end of the lead screw 103-3 is installed on a lead screw fixing seat 103-6. The lead screw fixing seat 103-6 is fixed to a first baffle mounting member 103-5 by screws. The first baffle mounting member 103-5 is fixedly connected to the baffle 105 by screws. The other end of the lead screw 103-3 is installed on a lead screw support seat 103-2. The lead screw support seat 103-2 is fixed to a second baffle mounting member 103-1 by screws. The second baffle mounting member 103-1 is fixedly connected to the baffle 105 by screws.

[0127] Bearings are installed between the lead screw 103-3, the lead screw fixing seat 103-6, and the lead screw support seat 103-2. The lead screw nut 103-4 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 103-3. When the lead screw 103-3 rotates, the lead screw nut 103-4 will move along the lead screw 103-3.

[0128] The lead screw 103-3 is connected to a second drive mechanism, which may be, but is not limited to, a second motor. The second motor is used to drive the lead screw 103-3 to rotate.

[0129] Alternatively, the second motor can also drive the lead screw 103-3 to rotate via the helical gear assembly 114. In this embodiment, as... Figure 21 As shown, the helical gear assembly 114 includes a helical gear 114-1, which meshes with the lead screw assembly helical gear 103-7, and the lead screw assembly helical gear 103-7 is connected to the lead screw 103-3.

[0130] like Figure 22 As shown, the helical gear 114-1 is connected to helical gear synchronous pulley one 114-2 and helical gear synchronous pulley two 114-3. The helical gear synchronous pulley one 114-2 is connected to a second motor via helical gear synchronous belt one 11. The second motor is a push rod motor 10. The helical gear synchronous pulley two 114-3 is connected to the push rod motor 10 via helical gear synchronous belt two 12. The push rod motor 10 drives the helical gear synchronous pulley one 114-2 and the helical gear synchronous pulley two 114-3 to rotate via the helical gear synchronous belt one 11 and the helical gear synchronous belt two 12, thereby driving the helical gear 114-1 to rotate.

[0131] The lead screw nut 103-4 is connected to the top block push plate 113. Moving the lead screw nut 103-4 will cause the top block push plate 113 to move together. The lead screw nut 103-4 is fixedly connected to the top block push plate 113 by screws.

[0132] One side of the top push plate 113 is connected to a top block 112 by screws. When the top push plate 113 moves, it will drive the top block 112 to move together. The top block 112 is located between the two baffles 105 and above the conveyor belt 106. The movement of the top block 112 can push the vegetables above the conveyor belt 106 to move.

[0133] A linear guide rail 104 is arranged on the outer surface of each baffle 105, and the linear guide rail 104 is arranged horizontally. A slider is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 104, and the slider is connected to the top block push plate 113 through the guide rail mounting part 111. When the top block push plate 113 moves, it will drive the slider to move together, and the slider will slide along the linear guide rail 104.

[0134] The linear guide 104 and the slider are arranged near the lead screw assembly 103 to cooperate with the lead screw assembly 103, which can improve the stability and accuracy of the system and guide the top block 112 to move in a straight line.

[0135] A trigger sensor 102 is also installed on the first baffle mounting component 103-5. The trigger sensor 102 is located at the end of the lead screw 103-3 away from the second drive mechanism. The function of the trigger sensor 102 is to limit the extreme movement position of the top block 112. When the guide rail mounting component 111 contacts the trigger sensor 102, it indicates that the top block 112 has moved to the extreme position. At this time, the second motor stops the lead screw 103-3 from continuing to rotate.

[0136] The top block 112 pushes the vegetables on the conveyor belt 106, applying force to them and pushing them to the grid cutter assembly 5 for cutting. For stem vegetables such as potatoes, the top block 112 pushes them forward to the grid cutter assembly 5 for cutting. Because the top block 112 applies force to the stem vegetables, they can be sliced ​​or shredded more effectively.

[0137] When it is necessary to push stem vegetables such as potatoes forward via the top block 112, the push rod motor 10 drives the helical gear timing pulleys 114-2 and 114-3 to rotate via the helical gear timing belt 11 and the helical gear timing belt 2, respectively. This rotation drives the helical gear 114-1 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw assembly helical gear 103-7 to rotate, thereby rotating the lead screw 103-3. The lead screw nut 103-4 on the lead screw 103-3 moves along the lead screw 103-3, causing the top block 112, which is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut 103-4, to move forward, ultimately pushing the stem vegetables such as potatoes forward. The moving speed of the top block 112 can be controlled according to different vegetable types and cutting requirements to push the vegetables at different speeds, ensuring cutting accuracy and efficiency.

[0138] Furthermore, the two baffles 105 are connected by baffle connector 124 and baffle connector 2 123, and the baffle connector 124, the baffle connector 2 123 and the baffle 105 are fixed together by screws.

[0139] To increase structural strength, the first baffle connector 124 and the second baffle connector 123 are connected by a connecting reinforcement 125, and the connecting reinforcement 125 is fixed to the first baffle connector 124 and the second baffle connector 123 by screws.

[0140] The grid cutter assembly 5 is rotatably connected to the housing 6. The grid cutter assembly 5 includes a cutter disc 503 with multiple primary processing windows. Each primary processing window may contain a grid cutter module 505 or be empty. The grid cutter module 505 can be fixed to the primary processing window with screws. The cutter disc 503 can rotate, allowing the desired primary processing window to rotate to face the tail end of the conveying mechanism. After rotation, it is fixed in place. Vegetables undergo primary processing through these windows, including cutting them into slices, strips, or leaving them unprocessed. Depending on actual needs, the required grid cutter module 505 can be installed in each primary processing window, or left empty.

[0141] The grille blade module 505 may, but is not limited to, adopt the following structure, such as... Figure 14As shown, the grid cutter module 505 includes a grid cutter disc 505-1, a vertical blade 505-2, and a horizontal blade 505-3. The grid cutter disc 505-1 is fixedly connected to the cutter disc 503 by screws. The vertical blade 505-2 and the horizontal blade 505-3 are embedded in the grid cutter disc 505-1 and are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0142] To achieve the rotation of the cutter head 503, the cutter head 503 can be connected to a third drive mechanism. The third drive mechanism drives the cutter head 503 to rotate, so that the required primary processing window rotates to be opposite to the tail end of the conveying mechanism. The third drive mechanism can be a third motor.

[0143] In this embodiment, the rotation of the cutter head 503 is achieved through the following structure: as follows Figures 11-13 As shown, the cutter head 503 is mounted on the gear connecting shaft 519 by screws. One end of the gear connecting shaft 519 is equipped with a sealing oil seal 518, and the other end of the gear connecting shaft 519 is fixed to the adjusting gear 509 by screws. The adjusting gear 509 is connected to the worm gear 511, and the worm gear 511 is connected to the worm gear shaft 514 of the worm motor 512. The worm motor 512 is mounted on the worm motor mounting plate 515, and the worm gear shaft 514 is connected to the worm motor mounting plate 515 through a bearing 516. The worm gear shaft 514 is rotatable.

[0144] When the worm motor 512 is working, the worm motor 512 drives the worm wheel 511 on the worm shaft 514 to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting gear 509 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear connecting shaft 519 fixedly connected to the adjusting gear 509 to rotate, and finally drives the cutter head 503 to rotate, rotating to the desired grid cutter module 505 or the open window during cutting.

[0145] An angular contact ball bearing 520 is sleeved in the middle of the gear connecting shaft 519. The inner ring of the angular contact ball bearing 520 is restricted on the outer ring step of the gear connecting shaft 519. The outer ring of the angular contact ball bearing 520 is restricted on the inner ring step of the bearing flange 504. The bearing flange 504 is connected to the fixing steel plate 506 by screws. The fixing steel plate 506 is connected to the outer shell 6.

[0146] The front side of the blade 503 is also provided with a cutting blade 502. The cutting blade 502 is used to perform secondary processing on the vegetables processed by the blade 503. The processing method is cutting, for example, further shredding the vegetables sliced ​​by the blade 503, further cutting the vegetables cut into strips by the blade 503 into chunks, and directly cutting the vegetables not processed by the blade 503 into sections, such as cutting leafy vegetables into sections.

[0147] To achieve the rotation of the cutting blade 502, the cutting blade 502 can be connected to a fourth drive mechanism, which drives the cutting blade 502 to rotate, thereby cutting the vegetables. The fourth drive mechanism can be a fourth motor.

[0148] In this embodiment, the rotation of the cutting blade 502 is achieved through the following structure: as follows Figures 9-13 As shown, the center of the cutting blade 502 is connected to the central shaft 510 of the grid cutter head. One end of the central shaft 510 passes through the middle of the gear connecting shaft 519 and is connected to the cutting blade 502. The other end of the central shaft 510 is connected to the cutting motor 517 via a coupling 513. When the cutting motor 517 is working, it drives the central shaft 510 of the grid cutter head to rotate via the coupling 513, thereby driving the cutting blade 502 to rotate. To prevent the rotation of the adjusting gear 509 from affecting the rotation of the central shaft 510 of the grid cutter head, the adjusting gear 509, which is fixed to the gear connecting shaft 519, is mounted on the inner ring of the crossed roller bearing 508. The outer ring of the crossed roller bearing 508 is mounted on the crossed roller bearing bushing 507, and the crossed roller bearing bushing 507 is fixed to the fixing steel plate 506 with screws.

[0149] Furthermore, the cutting blade 502 is fixed to the straight blade mounting base 501 by screws, and the straight blade mounting base 501 is fixed to the central shaft 510 of the grid cutter head by screws.

[0150] Because the cutter head 503 has multiple primary processing windows, each window may contain a grid blade module 505 or be empty. The cutter head 503 can rotate so that a suitable primary processing window aligns with the tail end of the conveyor belt 106. Then, the cutter head 503 is fixed in place, thus performing the first processing on the vegetables. After the first processing, the vegetables continue forward to the cutting blade 502, where it performs a second processing operation, cutting the vegetables. This completes the cutting process.

[0151] With the above structure, the vegetable cutting module of this utility model can rotate the blade 503 according to different cutting needs and different vegetable types, so that the appropriate primary processing window is aligned with the tail end of the conveying mechanism for corresponding cutting processing. Therefore, the vegetable cutting module of this utility model can meet a variety of cutting needs and can process different types of vegetables without disassembling the cutting components, making operation more convenient and avoiding accidental injuries that may occur when changing cutting blades, thus ensuring higher safety.

[0152] Example 2

[0153] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that:

[0154] like Figure 17 and Figure 20 As shown, a roller assembly 2 is provided on one side of the grid top block assembly 1. The roller assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the baffle 105. The roller assembly 2 is used to compress vegetables, such as leafy vegetables and fruit vegetables like green peppers, to prevent them from curling or shifting when they are cut into sections by the cutting blade 502 after passing through the opening. Compressing the vegetables makes them easier to cut.

[0155] The roller assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the baffle 105. Therefore, the position of the roller assembly 2 can be changed by rotating it. When leafy vegetables need to be cut, the roller assembly 2 is rotated down to press the leafy vegetables. When stem vegetables such as potatoes need to be cut, the top block 112 holds the stem vegetables in place without pressing them down by the roller assembly 2. In this case, the roller assembly 2 is rotated up to make room.

[0156] The roller assembly 2 includes a pressure plate shaft 212, which is connected to two baffles 105 via bearings. The roller assembly 2 can rotate relative to the baffles 105 via the pressure plate shaft 212.

[0157] While the roller assembly 2 is pressing the vegetables, the vegetables will move forward with the conveyor belt 106. Therefore, in order to avoid the roller assembly 2 pressing the vegetables in place, the roller assembly 2 is further moved to press the vegetables.

[0158] To achieve the above objectives, such as Figure 17 As shown, a first synchronous pulley 213 is installed at one end of the pressure plate shaft 212, and a motor synchronous pulley 115 is installed on the motor shaft of the first motor 109. The first synchronous pulley 213 and the motor synchronous pulley 115 are connected by a first synchronous belt 214.

[0159] like Figure 20As shown, a second reversing gear 101 is installed on the axle of the drive pulley 118 of the conveyor belt. The second reversing gear 101 meshes with a first reversing gear 119. A reversing gear shaft 116 is installed between the two baffles 105. The reversing gear shaft 116 can rotate along its axial direction. The first reversing gear 119 is installed on one end of the reversing gear shaft 116. A first conveyor belt synchronous pulley 117 is installed on the other end of the reversing gear shaft 116.

[0160] The other end of the pressure plate shaft 212 is equipped with a second conveyor belt synchronous pulley 121, which is connected to the first conveyor belt synchronous pulley 117 via a conveyor belt synchronous belt 120.

[0161] With the above structure, the pressure plate shaft 212 will drive the reversing gear 119 and the reversing gear shaft 116 to rotate synchronously. The reversing gear 119 meshes with the reversing gear 101. Therefore, the reversing gear 119 will drive the reversing gear 101 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the reversing gear 101 will drive the drive wheel 118 of the conveyor belt to rotate.

[0162] When the first motor 109 is working, it drives the motor synchronous pulley 115 to rotate, which in turn drives the first synchronous pulley 213 to rotate via the first synchronous belt 214. The first synchronous pulley 213 drives the pressure plate shaft 212 to rotate, thereby driving the second synchronous pulley 121 of the conveyor belt mounted on the pressure plate shaft 212 to rotate. In turn, the first synchronous pulley 117 of the conveyor belt is driven to rotate via the conveyor belt synchronous belt 120. The rotation of the first synchronous pulley 117 of the conveyor belt drives the reversing gear shaft 116 to rotate, thereby driving the first reversing gear 119 to move. Finally, the movement of the second reversing gear 101, which meshes with the first reversing gear 119, drives the drive pulley 118 of the conveyor belt to move.

[0163] To ensure that the conveyor belt 106 does not slip at the end away from the first motor 109, the drive pulley 118 of the conveyor belt 106 needs to be installed on the side away from the first motor 109. To ensure that the conveyor belt 106 and the roller conveyor belt 201 move in the same direction, a reversing gear 119 needs to be provided.

[0164] The roller assembly 2 also includes a roller conveyor belt 201, lifting rollers 202, conveyor belt support sheet metal 203, spring sheet metal 204, adjusting roller 205, belt pressing idler 206, U-groove guide roller 207, roller drive roller 208, adjusting motor 209, adjusting motor mounting plate 210, roller retainer 211, roller assembly timing belt 219, fixed roller 215, roller assembly timing roller two 216, roller assembly timing roller one 217, and support plate 218.

[0165] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second synchronous pulley 216 of the roller assembly is mounted on the pressure plate shaft 212. The second synchronous pulley 216 of the roller assembly is connected to the first synchronous pulley 217 of the roller assembly through the roller assembly synchronous belt 219. The first synchronous pulley 217 of the roller assembly is mounted on the roller drive pulley 208.

[0166] With the above structure, the rotation of the pressure plate shaft 212 will transmit power to the roller drive wheel 208, causing the roller drive wheel 208 to rotate.

[0167] The roller conveyor belt 201 is wound around the roller drive wheel 208, the roller driven wheel, and the adjusting roller 205. The adjusting roller 205 is installed between the two roller retainers 211. The bottom surface of the roller conveyor belt 201 is parallel to the conveyor belt 106. A conveyor belt support sheet metal 203 is provided inside the roller conveyor belt 201. The conveyor belt support sheet metal 203 is installed between the two roller retainers 211. The roller conveyor belt 201 is arranged between the two roller retainers 211. The conveyor belt support sheet metal 203 is used to support the bottom surface of the roller conveyor belt 201, ensuring the compression effect of the roller assembly 2 on the vegetables.

[0168] With the above structure, when the first motor 109 starts working, it can ensure that the roller conveyor belt 201 in the roller assembly 2 and the conveyor belt 106 in the grid top block assembly 1 move at the same speed and in the same direction, ensuring that the vegetables pass through smoothly.

[0169] The top surface of the roller conveyor belt 201 is provided with the belt pressure idler 206, which is arranged between the two roller retainers 211. The belt pressure idler 206 is used to adjust the tension of the roller conveyor belt 201. Specifically, the belt pressure idler 206 is fixed to the support plate 218 by screws. The relative distance between the belt pressure idler 206 and the support plate 218 is adjusted by the screws, thereby adjusting the tension of the roller conveyor belt 201.

[0170] The lifting and lowering of the roller assembly 2 is achieved through the following structure: the adjusting motor 209 is mounted on the adjusting motor mounting plate 210 by screws, and the adjusting motor mounting plate 210 is fixed to the roller retainer 211 by screws. The fixed wheel 215 is mounted on the adjusting motor mounting plate 210, and the fixed wheel 215 is connected to the output shaft of the adjusting motor 209.

[0171] The U-shaped groove guide wheel 207 and the lifting roller 202 are mounted on the spring sheet metal 204. The spring sheet metal 204 is mounted on the support plate 218 by screws. The support plate 218 is mounted on the middle of the two roller retainers 211 by screws.

[0172] The left and right roller retainers 211 provide mounting positions for components such as the support plate 218. The structures of the left and right roller retainers 211 can be the same or different.

[0173] like Figure 8 As shown, the fixed wheel 215 is connected to a rope 9. The rope 9 passes under the U-shaped groove guide wheel 207 and the lifting roller 202, and then its end is connected to the top plate 8 of the outer casing 6. Specifically, the end of the rope 9 is fixed to the fisheye bolt 7 on the top plate 8.

[0174] When the roller assembly 2 needs to be lifted, the adjusting motor 209 starts working, driving the fixed wheel 215 to rotate, thereby tightening the rope 9 and forcing the roller assembly 2 to rise. Reverse rotation allows the roller assembly 2 to descend, achieving the operation of compressing the vegetables.

[0175] The roller assembly 2, as an optional cutting auxiliary mechanism, is driven by the adjusting motor 209 to raise or lower itself to adapt to cutting different types of vegetables. The roller assembly 2 is located above the conveyor belt 106 to compress the vegetables.

[0176] In use, the worm gear motor 512 drives the cutter head 503 to rotate so that the appropriate grid cutter module 505 is aligned with the tail end of the conveying mechanism. Then, the vegetables are cut by contacting them with the top block 112 or by pressing them with the roller assembly 2.

[0177] When cutting leafy vegetables or fruit vegetables, the roller assembly 2 is lowered by the adjusting motor 209 to press the vegetables. When cutting stem vegetables such as potatoes, the roller assembly 2 can be raised, and the top block 112 cooperates with the grid cutter assembly 5 to cut the vegetables more effectively.

[0178] Example 3

[0179] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is as follows:

[0180] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the vegetable cutting module is also equipped with a spray assembly 4, which includes a nozzle and a water pipe. The spray assembly 4 is used to clean the grid cutter assembly 5 and the conveyor belt 106. Two sets of spray assemblies 4 are respectively arranged above the conveyor belt 106 and on the side of the grid cutter assembly 5. The two sets of spray assemblies 4 are respectively connected to the grid top block assembly 1 and the outer casing 6. After cutting, the equipment can be cleaned to prevent vegetable residue from remaining in the equipment, improve food safety, and solve the current problem of difficult cleaning of vegetable cutters.

[0181] The water pipe sprays cleaning fluid through the nozzle to clean the grid cutter assembly 5 and the conveyor belt 106, ensuring the hygiene of the vegetable cutting module and the sharpness of the cutting blades.

[0182] Example 4

[0183] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is as follows:

[0184] An image recognition system is also provided on the top of the outer shell 6. The image recognition system is used to identify the type of vegetables put into the feeding port 3. The image recognition system is connected to the control system. The first motor 109, the second motor, the worm gear motor 512, the cutting motor 517, the adjusting motor 209, and the spraying assembly 4 are all connected to the control system. The control system controls whether the motor works or not according to the type of vegetables identified by the image recognition system and the input cutting requirements. After the cutting is completed, the control system controls the spraying assembly 4 to work.

[0185] The control system controls the first motor 109 to work according to the input instructions, so that the conveyor belt 106 transports the vegetables to the cutting area.

[0186] The control system controls the second motor to work according to the input instructions, so that the top block 112 pushes the vegetables forward.

[0187] The control system controls the worm gear motor 512 to rotate the grid cutter head assembly 5 to the target position according to the input instructions, so as to realize the cutting operation and meet the cutting requirements.

[0188] The control system controls the cutting motor 517 to work according to the input instructions, so that the cutting blade 502 rotates to perform the cutting operation.

[0189] The control system controls the adjustment motor 209 to work according to the input instructions, so that the roller assembly 2 is raised or lowered.

[0190] The control system controls the opening and closing of the control valve of the spray assembly 4 according to the input instructions, so as to achieve cleaning of the module.

[0191] For example, when the operator puts in a potato, the image recognition system detects that the vegetable is a potato and the system input requirement is to slice it. The worm gear motor 512 controls the blade 503 to rotate to the appropriate position. Then, the first motor 109 drives the conveyor belt 106 to move, and the second motor drives the lead screw 103-3 to rotate. The top block 112 pushes the potato forward, and the blade 503 and the cutting blade 502 work together to cut the potato into slices. When the operator puts in a green pepper, the image recognition system detects that the vegetable is a green pepper and the system input requirement is to shred it. The worm gear motor 512 controls the blade 503 to rotate to the appropriate position. Then, the first motor 109 drives the conveyor belt 106 to move, and the green pepper moves forward with the conveyor belt 106. The adjusting motor 209 lowers the roller assembly 2 to press down the green pepper, and then the blade 503 and the cutting blade 502 work together to shred the green pepper.

[0192] The specific method of using the vegetable cutting module in this embodiment is as follows:

[0193] S1: Vegetable feeding: The operator feeds the vegetables to be cut onto the conveyor belt 106 of the grid top block assembly 1 through the feeding port 3. The conveyor belt 106 is driven by the first motor 109 and can smoothly transport the vegetables to the cutting area.

[0194] S2: Vegetable identification and cutting preparation: The image recognition system quickly and accurately determines the type of vegetable. Based on the type of vegetable identified by the image recognition system and the input cutting requirements, the control system controls the worm gear motor 512 to rotate the cutter head 503 to a suitable position to prepare for cutting.

[0195] S3: Cutting method selection: The control system selects whether to use the top block 112 or the roller assembly 2 to assist in cutting based on the type of vegetable identified by the image recognition system and the input cutting requirements.

[0196] For example, when potatoes are fed in, the control system lifts the roller assembly 2 by controlling the adjustment motor 209 and pushes the potatoes forward to the cutting area using the top block 112, where the potato is processed once by the cutter head 503. When green peppers are fed in, the control system drives the conveyor belt 106 by controlling the motor, so that the green peppers move forward on the conveyor belt 106 to the cutting area. The control system lowers the roller assembly 2 by controlling the adjustment motor 209 to press down the green peppers, where the green peppers are processed once by the cutter head 503.

[0197] S4: Cutting Operation: After selecting the appropriate cutting method, the control system initiates the cutting operation. The cutting blade 502 rotates rapidly under the drive of the motor, precisely cutting the vegetables.

[0198] S5: Cleaning Operation: After cutting is completed, the control system automatically starts the spray assembly 4 to clean the conveyor belt 106 and the cutting blade 502. The cleaning fluid is evenly sprayed onto the conveyor belt 106 and the cutting blade 502 through nozzles to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment.
