Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0037] In specific implementation, as shown in the drawing: Figures 1-5 A potato seed cutting machine, comprising:

[0038] A rack 1;

[0039] A roller lever elevator 2 is installed at the feeding end of the rack 1. The roller lever elevator 2 can disperse the stacked potatoes for single-layer conveying and rotate the length direction of the potatoes into parallel with the cylinder through the self-rotation of the roller lever, so as to preliminarily arrange the potatoes;

[0040] The horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 is installed on the inner side of the frame 1, and the starting end of the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 is arranged below the roller type elevator 2.

[0041] The horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 comprises a chain conveyor installed on the inner side of the frame 1, and the inner side of the transmission chain in the chain conveyor is rotationally connected with uniformly distributed rollers. When the chain conveyor operates, the transmission chain in the chain conveyor uniformly drives the rollers to move, and the rollers drive the potatoes to move.

[0042] The rollers of the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 are connected with equidistantly distributed conical rollers 8, and the cross sections of two adjacent conical rollers 8 jointly form a V-shaped groove. The horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 operates on the side away from the roller type elevator 2, and the horizontal chain roller conveyor can automatically center the horizontally conveyed potatoes between the two conical rollers 8 through the self-rotation of the conical rollers 8.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 is installed in the frame 1. The surface of the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 is slidingly connected with a linear guide rail 13, and the linear guide rail 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 1.

[0044] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 5 , the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 comprises a swing arm, a drive motor and a transmission chain. The swing arm is rotationally connected to the inner side of the frame 1, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the inside of the frame 1. The swing arm is hingedly connected with a connecting frame at the rotating end, the connecting frame is slidingly connected to the inside of the linear guide rail 13, and the connecting frame is fixedly connected with a push rod at one end. The push rod penetrates through the avoiding hole 111 and is aligned with the blade in the replaceable cutter head 52 at one end. The surfaces of the swing arm and the output shaft of the second drive motor are both fixedly connected with sprockets, and the two sprockets are drivingly connected through the transmission chain.

[0045] When the drive motor operates, the drive motor drives the sprocket connected thereto to rotate, and the sprocket drives the other sprocket to rotate through the transmission chain. The sprocket drives the swing arm to rotate, and the swing arm drives the connecting frame to reciprocate along the linear guide rail 13. When the connecting frame moves towards the direction of the inclined belt conveyor 6, the connecting frame drives the push rod to push the potatoes towards the replaceable cutter head 52, so as to realize the dicing of the potatoes. When the connecting frame moves away from the direction of the inclined belt conveyor 6, the connecting frame drives the push rod to move away from the replaceable cutter head 52, so as to ensure that the potatoes can normally move to the space between the push rod and the replaceable cutter head 52, and then realize the reciprocating dicing operation of the potatoes.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the fixed replaceable cutter assembly 5 is installed on the side of the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 away from the roller rod elevator 2; the fixed replaceable cutter assembly 5 includes a fixed cutter seat 51 and a replaceable cutter disc 52 installed inside the rack 1, the replaceable cutter disc 52 is inserted into the inside of the fixed cutter seat 51, and the blades in the replaceable cutter disc 52 are uniformly distributed; the user can replace the replaceable cutter disc 52 according to the specifications of the batch of potatoes;

[0047] It should be noted that potatoes weighing 60-80 grams need to be cut into 2 pieces by replaceable cutter discs 52 capable of 2 equal divisions; potatoes weighing 80-120 grams need to be cut into 3 pieces by replaceable cutter discs 52 capable of 3 equal divisions; potatoes weighing 120-20 grams need to be cut into 4 pieces by replaceable cutter discs 52 capable of 4 equal divisions; and potatoes weighing 200-300 grams need to be cut into 6 pieces by replaceable cutter discs 52 capable of 6 equal divisions; the processing flow of cutting potatoes weighing 80-120 grams is displayed in this embodiment, at this time the shape of the blades is V-shaped with an included angle of 15-35 degrees, and the shapes of the blades of the remaining processing flows need to be customized according to the above requirements, which will not be described here.

[0048] The inclined belt conveyor 6 is arranged below the fixed replaceable cutter assembly 5 at the lowest point, and the surface of the inclined belt conveyor 6 is fixedly connected with uniformly distributed baffles, which can block the potato pieces from rolling down during the rising process, so as to ensure that the potato pieces are stably conveyed out of the rack 1;

[0049] The disinfectant disinfection mechanism 7 is installed on the side of the fixed replaceable cutter assembly 5 away from the roller rod elevator 2.

[0050] The disinfectant disinfection mechanism 7 includes an electric sprayer 71 fixedly connected to the inner side of the rack 1, and the liquid outlet end of the electric sprayer 71 is fixedly connected and communicated with an atomizing nozzle 72 facing the replaceable cutter disc 52;

[0051] Common electric sprayer 71 structures include but are not limited to the following structures:

[0052] Liquid storage tank: the main container is usually made of ABS virgin plastic, and a battery groove is usually arranged at the bottom.

[0053] Filter screen: located at the outlet of the liquid storage tank, used for filtering liquid impurities.

[0054] Connection head: the interface component connecting the liquid storage tank and the suction device.

[0055] Electric pump: a miniature DC diaphragm pump or a centrifugal pump with a pressure of 4-6 kg, connected to the control box through a power supply and a signal line.

[0056] Connection pipe / nozzle: pipe for connecting the electric pump with the atomizing nozzle 72, responsible for transporting the liquid.

[0057] When the user fills the medicine liquid into the inside of the liquid tank, the user starts the electric pump and the atomizing nozzle 72, the electric pump transports the medicine liquid into the atomizing nozzle 72 through the connection pipe, the atomizing nozzle 72 realizes the atomization of the medicine liquid by pressure and sprays to the surface of the cutter and the cut potato block, so as to solve the problem that after the cutter cuts the diseased potato, the cutter will cross-infect the normal potato, thereby affecting the potato breeding, so as to achieve the effect of disinfecting and sterilizing the cutter and the potato block.

[0058] In the process of cutting, the electric sprayer 71 sprays the medicine liquid to the cutter and the potato block, so as to continuously disinfect and sterilize the cutter and the potato, and avoid the cross-infection of the bacteria on the bad potato and the good potato.

[0059] The top of the rack 1 is provided with an ultraviolet disinfection mechanism 14, which comprises an ultraviolet protection cover 141 fixedly connected to the top of the rack 1, and an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 142 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the ultraviolet protection cover 141 and facing the inclined belt conveyor 6.

[0060] The configured ultraviolet disinfection lamp 142 disinfects and sterilizes the potato block on the belt line, until the inclined belt conveyor 6 sends out the disinfected material from the seed cutting machine.

[0061] The inner side of the rack 1 is fixedly connected with a first wave-shaped guide plate 9 arranged between the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 and the roller lever elevator 2, and the first wave-shaped guide plate 9 is at a certain angle with the horizontal plane.

[0062] The inner side of the rack 1 is fixedly connected with a first plate brush 10, and the lowest part of the first plate brush 10 contacts the end of the first wave-shaped guide plate 9 away from the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3, and the first plate brush 10 cooperates with the first wave-shaped guide plate 9 to stably guide the potato to the designated position.

[0063] The inner side of the rack 1 is fixedly connected with a second wave-shaped guide plate 11 arranged between the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 and the fixed replaceable cutter assembly 5, and the angle between the second wave-shaped guide plate 11 and the horizontal plane is R1 (30°≤R1≤60°), and the surface of the second wave-shaped guide plate 11 is provided with uniformly distributed avoiding holes 111, and the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 reciprocates through the avoiding holes 111.

[0064] The inner side of the rack 1 is fixedly connected with a second plate brush 12, and the included angle between the second plate brush 12 and the second wave-shaped guide plate 11 is R2 (30°≤R2≤60°).

[0065] In use, the staff first places a batch of potatoes in the feeding hopper of the roller lever elevator 2, and when the potatoes are stacked together in the process of upward conveying of the roller lever elevator 2, the potatoes at the top slide downward along with the automatic rotation of the roller lever in the process of upward conveying, and since the width of the roller is relatively long, a plurality of potatoes can be accommodated between the two rollers, so that only one layer of potatoes is conveyed upward, and in the process of rotation of the roller lever, the posture of the potatoes is preliminarily regularized, so that the length direction of the potatoes is parallel to the roller lever. When the potatoes are conveyed to the first wave-shaped guide plate 9 by the roller lever elevator 2, the first wave-shaped guide plate 9 guides the potatoes to the space between the two tapered rollers 8 through the wave-shaped grooves, so that the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 horizontally and rolls to convey the potatoes through the V-shaped groove formed between the two tapered rollers 8. When the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3 conveys the potatoes to above the second wave-shaped guide plate 11, the second wave-shaped guide plate 11 sends the potatoes to the cutting position through gravity. The reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 pushes the potatoes to the replaceable cutter disc 52, so that the potatoes are pushed into the replaceable cutter disc 52, so that the potatoes are cut. After cutting, the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4 is withdrawn, and the next group of potatoes slides down. The cut potatoes fall to the inclined belt conveyor 6, and the operation is repeated.

[0066] It should be noted that the roller lever elevator 2, the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3, the reciprocating push rod mechanism 4, the inclined belt conveyor 6, the electric sprayer 71, the atomizing nozzle 72, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 142 are all relatively mature devices in the prior art, and the specific models can be selected according to actual needs. Meanwhile, the roller lever elevator 2, the horizontal chain roller conveyor 3, the drive motor, the inclined belt conveyor 6, the electric sprayer 71, the atomizing nozzle 72, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 142 can be powered by an internal power supply, and can be powered by 380V or 220V voltage according to the customer's site conditions. The specific power supply mode is selected as appropriate, and will not be described here.

[0067] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
