[0022] This utility model discloses a continuous chili pepper slicing machine, comprising a frame 101, a conveyor belt 102, a cutter 103, a fixed base 104, a shaping strip 105, a mounting base 106, a feeding hopper 107, a shaft 108, a flip plate 109, a gear 110, a rack 111, a guide rail 112, a guide sleeve 113, a cylinder 114, a spring 115, a sieve plate 116, and a vibrating motor 117. It solves the problem that when slicing chili peppers, the cutting direction needs to be perpendicular to the long axis of the chili pepper, but existing technologies cannot adjust the posture of the chili pepper, resulting in unsatisfactory slicing effects and failing to meet high-quality processing requirements. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can also be used to improve the quality of chili pepper slicing.

[0023] In this embodiment, the frame 101, the conveyor belt 102, and the cutter 103 are all existing technologies. The specific structure refers to the existing technology CN221314451 U, a chili cutting machine. Through the cutting assembly, the problem of unsatisfactory cutting effect and inability to meet the high-quality processing requirements is solved because the cutting direction needs to be perpendicular to the long axis of the chili when cutting chili. The existing technology cannot adjust the posture of the chili.

[0024] The fixed base 104 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the conveyor belt 102. The shaping strip 105 is connected to the fixed base 104 and located inside the fixed base 104. The mounting base 106 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 104 and located on the side of the fixed base 104 away from the frame 101. The anti-blocking component is installed on the mounting base 106. The feeding hopper 107 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 106 and located on the side of the mounting base 106 away from the fixed base 104. The seed-removing component is installed on the frame 101. The fixed base 104 is a hollow rectangular body, fixed to the top of the frame 101 by bolts, and located above the conveyor belt 102. The shaping strips 105 are triangular, multiple in number, and evenly arranged inside the fixed base 104 to adjust the posture of the chili peppers so that they can be straightened. The chili peppers move along the conveyor belt 102 in the length direction. The mounting base 106 is a hollow rectangular body, fixed to the top of the fixed base 104 by bolts, providing installation and adjustment for the anti-blocking component. The anti-blocking component is installed on the mounting base 106 to prevent the chili peppers from clogging. The feeding hopper 107 is funnel-shaped and fixed to the top of the mounting base 106 by bolts to facilitate the feeding of chili peppers. The deseeding component is installed on the frame 101 near the cutter 103 to remove the seeds from the cut chili peppers. The shaping strip 105 can adjust the posture of the chili peppers so that they can be conveyed to the cutter 103 in the correct posture for cutting. This solves the problem that when cutting chili peppers, the cutting direction needs to be perpendicular to the long axis of the chili pepper, but the existing technology cannot adjust the posture of the chili peppers, resulting in unsatisfactory cutting effect and failure to meet the requirements of high-quality processing.

[0025] Secondly, the shaft 108 extends into the mounting base 106 and is rotatably connected to the mounting base 106; the flap 109 is fixedly connected to the shaft 108 and located outside the shaft 108; the drive unit drives the shaft 108 to rotate. There are multiple shafts 108, which are connected to the mounting base 106 through bearings. The multiple shafts 108 are arranged side by side. There are multiple flaps 109, which are respectively sleeved on the outside of the multiple shafts 108 and rotate with the rotation of the shafts 108. The drive unit is used to drive the multiple shafts 108 to rotate synchronously. Through the continuous flipping of the multiple flaps 109, the chili peppers can be pushed, thereby avoiding the accumulation and blockage of the chili peppers.

[0026] Meanwhile, the gear 110 is fixedly connected to the shaft 108 and located at one end of the shaft 108; the rack 111 is connected to the mounting base 106 through the support member, the support member is mounted on the mounting base 106 and supports the rack 111, the rack 111 meshes with the gear 110; the cylinder 114 is mounted on the mounting base 106, the output end of the cylinder 114 is fixedly connected to the rack 111, there are multiple gears 110, respectively arranged at the ends of multiple shafts 108, the rack 111 is mounted on the mounting base 106 through the support member and meshes with the gear 110, the support member can guide the movement of the rack 111, the cylinder 114 is used to drive the rack 111 to move, through the continuous extension and retraction of the cylinder 114, under the transmission of the rack 111 and the gear 110, thereby driving multiple shafts 108 to rotate synchronously.

[0027] In addition, the guide rail 112 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 106 and is located on the side of the mounting base 106 near the rack 111; the guide sleeve 113 is slidably connected to the guide rail 112 and fixedly connected to the rack 111. The guide rail 112 is horizontally arranged on the mounting base 106, and the rack 111 is slidably connected to the guide rail 112 through the guide sleeve 113. Through the guide rail 112 and the guide sleeve 113, the movement of the rack 111 is guided.

[0028] Finally, the spring 115 is fixedly connected to the frame 101 and located on the side of the frame 101 near the cutter 103; the sieve plate 116 is fixedly connected to the spring 115 and located at the end of the spring 115; the vibration motor 117 is fixedly installed on the sieve plate 116, the sieve plate 116 is L-shaped and has several sieve holes, the sieve plate 116 is connected to the frame 101 through the spring 115, the sieve plate 116 is located below the cutter 103, the cut peppers will fall directly onto the sieve plate 116, the vibration motor 117 is fixed to the bottom of the sieve plate 116 by bolts, and is used to drive the sieve plate 116 to vibrate. Through the vibration of the sieve plate 116, the pepper segments can be driven to vibrate, thereby achieving the removal of seeds from the peppers.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cylinder 114 is connected to a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is energized and de-energized using simple control elements such as a relay, allowing the cylinder 114 to reciprocate rhythmically. In use, chili peppers are poured into the feeding hopper 107. The cylinder 114 continuously extends and retracts, and under the transmission of the rack 111 and gear 110, multiple flaps 109 are driven to flip synchronously. As the flaps 109 flip, they continuously push the chili peppers at the bottom of the feeding hopper 107, preventing blockage. After passing through the flaps 109, the chili peppers fall onto the shaping strip 105. The unique design of the shaping strip 105 adjusts the posture of the chili peppers, aligning their length with the cutting edge. With the blade 103 in a vertical position, the chili peppers, after being adjusted in posture, fall onto the conveyor belt 102 for transport. The blade 103 performs a vertical reciprocating motion, cutting the chili peppers on the conveyor belt 102 into segments. The speed of the conveyor belt 102 can be adjusted to control the cutting length of the chili pepper segments. The cut chili peppers fall onto the sieve plate 116, which vibrates under the action of the vibrating motor 117, shaking off the chili pepper seeds. The shaken-off chili pepper seeds fall out through the sieve holes of the sieve plate 116. This application, through the setting of the shaping strip 105, can adjust the posture of the chili peppers, allowing them to be transported to the blade 103 in the correct posture for cutting. This solves the problem that when cutting chili peppers, the cutting direction needs to be perpendicular to the long axis of the chili pepper, but existing technologies cannot adjust the posture of the chili peppers, resulting in unsatisfactory cutting effects and failing to meet the requirements of high-quality processing.

[0030] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
