Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit and potato processing equipment, specifically a device for cutting fruit and potato into grid slices. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, slicing fruits and potatoes into grid-like pieces has important applications in many processes, such as the preparation of specialty dishes and the pre-treatment of dried fruits and vegetables. Currently, traditional cutting methods are mostly manual, which is not only inefficient and prone to hand injuries, but also makes it difficult to ensure uniformity and consistency of slices because the angle of the fruit remains constant during cutting, failing to meet the increasingly diverse market demands. Therefore, the development of an efficient and precise grid-slicing machine for fruits and potatoes is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0022] 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, and 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for cutting melons and potatoes into grid slices, including a frame, a feeding hopper 7, a half gear 9, and a cutter head 1. The frame serves as a supporting foundation and is composed of a front plate 4, a rear plate 6, and four connecting columns 11. The front plate 4 and the rear plate 6 are stably connected by the connecting columns 11, and the connecting columns 11 are rectangularly distributed around the ends of the half gear 9 and the gear 10 to ensure the stability of the overall structure. The feeding hopper 7 is rotatably installed between the front plate 4 and the rear plate 6, and one end of it is fixedly sleeved with the gear 10. The half gear 9 is fixedly sleeved on one end of the rotating shaft 17. The rotating shaft 17 achieves flexible rotation between the front plate 4 and the rear plate 6 by means of a bearing assembly composed of a bearing seat 15 and a bearing 16, and the half gear 9 and the gear 10 mesh precisely. One end of the rotating shaft 17, which is mounted on the half gear 9, is firmly connected to the center of the cutter head 1. The cutter head 1 is equipped with two rotatingly symmetrical blades 3. A crank is set at the eccentric position on one side of the cutter head 1. At the same time, one end of the rotating shaft 17 that is connected to the cutter head 1 passes through the cutter head 1, leaving enough length to connect to the motor output end. This allows the equipment to be operated manually or driven by a motor, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0024] Furthermore, a pressure plate 8 is installed inside the feeding barrel 7. One end of a guide post 12 is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the pressure plate 8, and a spring frame 14 is installed on one side of the rear plate 6. One end of the guide post 12 slides through the rear plate 6 and the spring frame 14, and a compression spring 13 is sleeved on the outside. One end of the compression spring 13 abuts against the pressure plate 8, and the other end abuts against the spring frame 14. When the compression spring 13 is not under force, the pressure plate 8 is located at the end face of the end where the gear 10 is installed in the feeding barrel 7. The feeding barrel 7 is provided with a feeding port, and limiting grooves are opened on both sides. The slider on the pressure plate 8 can slide smoothly in the limiting grooves, ensuring that the pressure plate 8 can move stably during feeding and pressing, and effectively fixing the fruits and potatoes.

[0025] Furthermore, gear covers 5 are provided on the outside of half gears 9 and 10. Gear covers 5 have holes for the rotating shaft 17, feed hopper 7, and connecting column 11 to pass through, effectively preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission components and ensuring transmission stability and safety. A cutter head cover 2 is provided on one side of the front plate 4, located between the cutter head 1 and the front plate 4, preventing operators from accidentally contacting the high-speed rotating cutter head 1 and blades 3, thus improving operational safety. Collars are provided on the front plate 4 and rear plate 6, with both ends of the feed hopper 7 rotating smoothly within the collars. Support feet are provided at the bottom of the front plate 4 and rear plate 6 to enhance the overall stability of the equipment. In addition, a handle is installed at one end of the guide column 12, allowing operators to pull the guide column 12 to control the movement of the pressure plate 8. The half gear 9 has two symmetrically arranged teeth, each occupying one-quarter of the circumference of the half gear 9. This unique design enables intermittent rotation of the feed hopper 7, thereby meeting the process requirements of mesh sheet cutting.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, when the device is in use, the fruits and potatoes are placed horizontally and automatically fed using the principle of compression springs. When the cutter head 1 rotates, it drives the blades 3 to rotate, cutting the fruits and potatoes placed in the feeding barrel 7. At the same time, the rotating shaft 17 drives the half gear 9 to rotate. When the half gear 9 separates from the gear 10, the blade 3 completes one cut. When the half gear 9 meshes with the gear 10 again, the half gear 9 drives the gear 10, the feeding barrel 7, and the fruits and potatoes in the barrel to rotate together. After rotating a certain angle, the half gear 9 separates from the gear 10 again, and the blade 3 performs another cut. This cycle repeats, and the fruits and potatoes can be cut into grid-like slices with a neat and uniform appearance.

[0028] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
