Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit production technology, and in particular to a fruit dicing device for quick-frozen fruit production. Background Technology

[0002] Frozen fruit production is an important branch of the food processing industry. It extends the shelf life and preserves the nutritional components and taste of fresh fruit by rapidly freezing it. In the production process of frozen fruit, the dicing stage is crucial. As a core component, the performance and quality of the fruit dicing equipment have a decisive impact on the efficiency of the entire production line and the quality of the final product. Especially in the core step of cutting fruit slices into uniform small cubes, existing fruit dicing equipment has gradually revealed a series of obvious limitations and technical problems when handling different types, firmnesses, and shapes of fruit. Specifically, existing fruit dicing equipment faces prominent problems in actual operation, such as inconvenience, low efficiency, and inconsistent quality.

[0003] Existing fruit dicing equipment often requires first slicing the fruit into pieces, and then dicing each slice individually. This step-by-step approach is inconvenient for dicing the fruit slices as a whole. Since fruit slices may vary in shape and size, dicing each slice individually is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to ensure uniformity and consistency, significantly reducing dicing efficiency. This also affects the final product's appearance and taste, significantly increasing production costs and labor input, and potentially posing risks to the overall quality and safety of frozen fruit. Uneven dicing may result in some fruit pieces being too large or too small, affecting the product's cooking effect and eating experience. Furthermore, the increased operational complexity and time costs make existing technology unsuitable for the demands of large-scale, high-efficiency frozen fruit production. Therefore, to address these shortcomings of existing technology, we urgently need an innovative fruit dicing device for frozen fruit production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fruit dicing device for quick-frozen fruit production, which solves the problem that existing fruit dicing equipment often requires first slicing the fruit into pieces and then dicing each piece individually. This step-by-step operation is not convenient for dicing the fruit pieces as a whole. Since the shape and size of the fruit pieces may vary, dicing each piece individually is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the dicing, thus greatly reducing the efficiency of fruit dicing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fruit dicing device for quick-frozen fruit production includes a frame. A side frame is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame, and a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the side frame by bolts. One end of the bidirectional screw passes through the side wall of the side frame and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. Both ends of the bidirectional screw are threadedly connected to nut seats. Push plates are provided on both sides of the inner side of the frame, and one side of each push plate is fixedly connected to one side of each nut seat. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the frame by bolts. A pressure plate is provided on the inner side of the frame, and several blades are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate, wherein all the blades are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0007] Preferably, a support groove is provided at the bottom of the frame, and a support plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the support groove.

[0008] Preferably, sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate, and both sliders are slidably connected to the inner wall of the support groove through a sliding groove.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw passes through the side wall of the side frame via a bearing sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a sliding block is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two nut seats, and the two sliding blocks are slidably connected to the side wall of the side frame through a sliding groove.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two nut seats, and one end of each connecting rod passes through the side wall of the frame via a movable groove, and one end of each connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two push plates.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention offers significant advantages over existing technologies. Firstly, it solves the problem of inconvenient operation in existing technologies. Through the cooperation of a drive motor and a bidirectional screw, along with the design of the push plate, fruit slices can be quickly positioned under the pressure plate, eliminating the need for manual placement and greatly improving operational convenience. Existing fruit dicing equipment often requires step-by-step operation, first slicing and then dicing individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This device, however, uses crisscrossing blades at the bottom of the pressure plate to cut the fruit slices in one continuous motion, significantly shortening cutting time and improving production efficiency. It also ensures uniformity and consistency in dicing. Due to the crisscrossing distribution of the blades and the smooth downward movement of the pressure plate, the diced fruit is uniform in size and shape, improving the product's appearance and taste. This solves the problem of uneven dicing in existing technologies, which affects the product's cooking effect and eating experience. Furthermore, it reduces production costs and labor input. The improved ease of operation and dicing efficiency significantly reduce the manpower and time required in the production process, thereby lowering production costs. Meanwhile, because the quality of the cut fruit pieces is consistent, it reduces waste and losses caused by quality issues, meeting the needs of large-scale, high-efficiency quick-frozen fruit production. Its characteristics include high efficiency, stability, and convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-5 A fruit dicing device for quick-frozen fruit production includes a frame 1. A side frame 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the frame 1, supporting and mounting components such as a bidirectional screw 15 and a drive motor 12, forming a stable transmission structure. The bidirectional screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame 11, and the drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the side frame 11 by bolts. One end of the bidirectional screw 15 passes through the side wall of the side frame 11 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 15 are threadedly connected to nut seats 16. Each side is provided with a push plate 5, and one side of each of the two push plates 5 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two nut seats 16. A hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top side of the frame 1 by bolts, and a pressure plate 3 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1. Several blades 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 3. As the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 2 moves, the fruit slices are pressed and cut. Several blades 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 3. All the blades 4 are arranged in a crisscross pattern and fixed to the bottom of the pressure plate 3 to form a cutting grid. As the pressure plate 3 moves down, the fruit slices are cut as a whole into uniform small cubes.

[0023] Furthermore, a support groove 7 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and a support plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner side of the support groove 7. During the cutting process, the fruit pieces will fall onto the support plate 6. As the cutting continues, the support plate 6 can slide within the support groove 7 as needed to collect the cut fruit pieces or remove them from the frame 1. This makes the collection of fruit pieces more flexible and convenient, avoids the accumulation of fruit pieces in the frame 1, improves work efficiency, and also facilitates subsequent quick-freezing or other processing steps for the cut fruit pieces.

[0024] Furthermore, sliders 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 6, and both sliders 8 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the support groove 7 through the sliding groove 9. When the support plate 6 slides in the support groove 7, the sliders 8 will slide synchronously in the sliding groove 9, which plays a guiding and stabilizing role, enhances the stability of the support plate 6 during the sliding process, prevents the support plate 6 from deviating or tilting, and ensures that the fruit pieces can fall accurately and stably on the support plate 6.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the bidirectional screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 11 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the bidirectional screw 15 passes through the side wall of the side frame 11 via a bearing sleeve. This design makes the bidirectional screw 15 more stable and smooth during rotation. Through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the bearing sleeve, the friction and wear of the bidirectional screw 15 during rotation are reduced, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, each of the two nut seats 16 is fixedly connected to one side with a sliding block 13, and both sliding blocks 13 are slidably connected to the side wall of the side frame 11 through the sliding groove 14. When the nut seat 16 moves on the bidirectional screw 15, the sliding block 13 will slide synchronously in the sliding groove 14, which plays a guiding and limiting role.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two nut seats 16, and one end of each connecting rod 17 passes through the side wall of the frame 1 through the movable groove 10. The two connecting rods 17 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of each of the two push plates 5. When the nut seat 16 moves on the bidirectional screw 15, the connecting rod 17 will move synchronously in the movable groove 10, driving the push plate 5 to move in the frame 1.

[0028] In summary:

[0029] When using this fruit dicing device for quick-frozen fruit production, the operator first places pre-prepared fruit slices into frame 1. These fruit slices may be pre-cut using other cutting equipment or sliced ​​by hand, and their size and shape may vary. Next, the operator starts the drive motor 12, whose output shaft begins to rotate, driving the bidirectional screw 15 to rotate within the side frame 11 via a transmission connection. One end of the bidirectional screw 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 11 via a rotating shaft, while the other end is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 12 via a bearing sleeve passing through the side wall of the side frame 11. This design ensures that the bidirectional screw 15 rotates more stably and smoothly, reducing friction and wear, and improving the service life and reliability of the device. As the bidirectional screw 15 rotates, the nut seats 16, whose two ends are connected by threaded screws, begin to move axially along the bidirectional screw 15. Sliding blocks 13 are fixedly connected to one side of each of the two nut seats 16. The sliding blocks 13 slide synchronously within the sliding groove 14, serving as guides and restraints, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the movement of the nut seats 16. Simultaneously, the two nut seats 16 are fixedly connected to one side of the two push plates 5 via connecting rods 17. The connecting rods 17 move synchronously within the movable groove 10, causing the push plates 5 to move towards the center within the frame 1, thereby pushing the fruit slices within the frame 1 towards the center until the fruit slices are stably positioned at the bottom of the pressure plate 3. Once the fruit slices are stably positioned below the pressure plate 3 by the push plates 5, the operator activates the hydraulic cylinder 2. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 2 extends, causing the pressure plate 3 to move downwards. Several blades 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 3. These blades 4 are arranged in a crisscross pattern, forming a cutting grid. As the pressure plate 3 moves downwards, the blades 4 gradually approach and contact the fruit slices, beginning to cut the fruit slices as a whole. Due to the crisscrossing arrangement of the blades 4, they can simultaneously cut the fruit slices into uniform small cubes, making the cutting process fast and efficient. During the cutting process, the fruit cubes fall onto the support plate 6 at the bottom of the frame 1. Both sides of the support plate 6 are fixedly connected to sliders 8, which slide synchronously within the slide groove 9, serving as guides and stabilizers. This enhances the stability of the support plate 6 during sliding, preventing it from shifting or tilting, and ensuring that the fruit pieces fall accurately and stably onto the support plate 6. As cutting progresses, the support plate 6 can slide within the support groove 7 as needed to collect the cut fruit pieces or remove them from the frame 1, making fruit collection more flexible and convenient, preventing accumulation of fruit pieces within the frame 1, and improving work efficiency. After cutting, the operator can turn off the drive motor 12 and hydraulic cylinder 2, and remove the cut fruit pieces from the frame 1 for subsequent quick-freezing or other processing steps. Through the cooperation of the drive motor 12, bidirectional screw 15, nut seat 16, push plate 5, and other structures, automatic positioning of the fruit slices is achieved, improving the accuracy and efficiency of cutting.The design of the pressure plate 3 and blade 4 makes the cutting process fast and efficient, while producing uniformly sized and shaped fruit cubes, improving the product's appearance and taste. The design of the support plate 6 and slider 8 makes the collection of fruit cubes more flexible and convenient, preventing them from piling up inside the frame 1 and improving work efficiency. The design of the bidirectional screw 15, with one end rotatably connected to the inner wall of the side frame 11 via a rotating shaft and the other end penetrating the side wall of the side frame 11 via a bearing sleeve, reduces friction and wear, improving the device's service life and reliability. The cooperation between the sliding block 13 and the sliding groove 14, as well as the design of the connecting rod 17 and the movable groove 10, enhances the stability and accuracy of each component during movement, ensuring smooth cutting.
