Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing equipment technology, specifically to an agricultural product slicing device. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables and fruits are indispensable foods in people's daily lives. Ginger, radishes, potatoes, kale shoots, lettuce shoots, sweet potatoes, apples, and many other fruits and vegetables, after being sliced ​​and processed, can enrich people's dietary choices. Traditionally, the slicing of fruits and vegetables relies on manual labor, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.

[0003] With the continuous increase in market demand, vegetable cutting machines have emerged. Existing vegetable cutting machines are usually equipped with a discharge port, a conveying mechanism, and rotating blades. The conveying mechanism sends agricultural products out of the discharge port, and the rotating blades on one side of the discharge port slice the agricultural products. With continuous conveying, continuous slicing processing of agricultural products can be achieved.

[0004] However, existing vegetable cutters still have significant drawbacks: when the rotating blades slice agricultural products, the centrifugal force causes the slices to scatter in all directions. Therefore, a protective cover is usually installed at the discharge port to prevent this splattering. However, the sliced ​​agricultural products often become sticky due to moisture seepage, easily adhering to the inner walls of the protective cover and difficult to fall off naturally. Currently, this problem is usually addressed by manually opening the front door of the protective cover to clean out the remaining agricultural product slices, a cumbersome operation that also poses a safety hazard of operators being cut by the blades.

[0005] Therefore, we propose an agricultural product processing slicing device. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an agricultural product processing slicing device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides an agricultural product processing and slicing device, including a vegetable cutter body. The vegetable cutter body is provided with a vegetable outlet, and a cutting mechanism is installed on one side of the vegetable outlet. The vegetable cutter body is also provided with a conveying mechanism for transporting agricultural products to the side of the cutting mechanism. It also includes a protective cover installed on one side of the vegetable cutter body, which covers the cutting mechanism and the vegetable outlet. A cleaning component is provided inside the protective cover. The cutting mechanism includes a rotating shaft and a blade. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the vegetable cutter body through bearings and is connected to a drive component inside the vegetable cutter body. The rotating shaft rotates through the inner wall of the rear side of the protective cover and extends into the protective cover. The blade is fixedly installed around the rotating shaft and located inside the protective cover. The cleaning component is connected to the rotating shaft and is driven by the rotating shaft to operate, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the protective cover.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a fixed cylinder and a scraper. The fixed cylinder is fixedly inserted through the front side wall of the protective cover. Rotating blocks are symmetrically arranged inside the fixed cylinder, and springs are connected between the rotating blocks. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to one of the rotating blocks and is threadedly connected to the front inner wall of the fixed cylinder. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the other rotating block via a bearing. The rotating rod rotatably passes through the rear inner wall of the fixed cylinder via the bearing. A sliding cylinder is slidably sleeved on the rotating rod, and a cleaning rod is fixedly inserted through the sliding cylinder. An elongated opening is opened along the length of the rotating rod, and the cleaning rod moves through the elongated opening. The scraper is fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning rod away from the rotating rod. The scraper contacts the annular inner wall of the protective cover, and the length of the scraper is equal to the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the protective cover. A rotating handle is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod located outside the fixed cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the front end face of the rotating shaft, and a locking block is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod outside the fixed cylinder, and the locking block is inserted into the slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the bearing connecting the rotating block and the rotating rod is a one-way bearing.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating block has balls embedded in its circumferential sidewalls, and the balls are in rolling contact with the inner wall of the fixed cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, a limiting rod is connected between the rotating blocks. The limiting rod is symmetrically located on both sides of the spring. One end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the rotating block near the threaded rod. The other end of the limiting rod slides through the rotating block near the rotating rod and is then fixedly connected to a limiting block.

[0013] Furthermore, the front side wall of the protective cover is a door hinged to the protective cover and is made of transparent material. The protective cover is cylindrical and has a discharge port at the bottom. The rear inner wall of the protective cover has a circular opening for the rotating shaft to pass through and a cutting edge aligned with the food outlet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above structure are as follows: This solution, by setting a cleaning component connected to the rotating shaft transmission, uses the power of the rotating shaft to drive the cleaning component to operate, eliminating the need for manual opening of the cover for cleaning, and can scrape off the agricultural product slices adhering to the inner wall of the protective cover. This simplifies the operation process, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and avoids the risk of being cut by the blade during manual cleaning, thus improving the convenience and safety of equipment use. The cleaning component can achieve synchronous cleaning or start cleaning at any time without affecting the slicing process, avoiding the accumulation of residual agricultural product slices that affect the normal output and cutting of subsequent slices.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model discloses an agricultural product processing and slicing device, including a vegetable cutter body 1, a vegetable outlet 2 on the vegetable cutter body 1, a cutting mechanism 3 installed on one side of the vegetable outlet 2, a conveying mechanism 4 on the vegetable cutter body 1, the conveying mechanism 4 being used to transport agricultural products to the side of the cutting mechanism 3, and a protective cover 5 installed on one side of the vegetable cutter body 1, the protective cover 5 covering the cutting mechanism 3 and the vegetable outlet 2, and a cleaning component 6 installed inside the protective cover 5; the cutting mechanism 3 includes a rotating shaft 7 and a blade 8, the rotating shaft 7 being rotatably mounted on the vegetable cutter body 1 via bearings and being connected to a drive component inside the vegetable cutter body 1, the rotating shaft 7 rotating through the inner wall of the rear side of the protective cover 5 and extending into the protective cover 5, the blade 8 being fixedly installed around the rotating shaft 7 and located inside the protective cover 5; the cleaning component 6 being connected to the rotating shaft 7, the rotating shaft 7 driving the cleaning component 6 to operate, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the protective cover 5.

[0028] Working principle: After the conveying mechanism 4 (such as conveyor belt, drive motor, etc.) on the main body 1 of the vegetable cutter is started, it continuously and steadily transports the agricultural products to be processed towards the outlet 2. This is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. When the agricultural products enter the protective cover 5 through the outlet 2, the drive components (such as motor, reducer) inside the main body 1 of the vegetable cutter drive the cutting mechanism 3 to operate. This is existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. The rotating shaft 7 of the cutting mechanism 3 rotates at high speed, thereby driving the blades 8 fixed around it to rotate synchronously. The high-speed rotating blades 8 contact the continuously conveyed agricultural products and continuously slice the agricultural products. The protective cover 5 covers the cutting mechanism 3 and the outlet 2, which can effectively prevent the agricultural product slices that are thrown to the surroundings by centrifugal force during slicing, avoiding the slices from splashing to the outside of the equipment and causing waste or pollution, while ensuring the safety of the operators. The power of the rotating shaft 7 is transmitted to the cleaning component 6 inside the protective cover 5 through the linkage structure. The cleaning component 6 scrapes off the agricultural product slices that are attached to the annular wall of the protective cover 5.

[0029] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the cleaning assembly 6 includes a fixed cylinder 9 and a scraper 10. The fixed cylinder 9 is fixedly inserted through the front side wall of the protective cover 5. Rotating blocks 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the fixed cylinder 9, and springs 12 connect the rotating blocks 11. A threaded rod 13 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating blocks 11, and the threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to the front inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9. A rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the other rotating block 11 via a bearing. The rotating rod 14 rotatably passes through the rear inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9 via a bearing. A sliding cylinder 15 is slidably sleeved on the rotating rod 14, and a cleaning rod 16 is fixedly inserted through the sliding cylinder 15. The rotating rod 14 extends along its length... A long opening 17 is provided in the direction of the cleaning rod 16, which moves through the long opening 17. The scraper 10 is fixed to the end of the cleaning rod 16 away from the rotating rod 14. The scraper 10 contacts the annular inner wall of the protective cover 5. The length of the scraper 10 is equal to the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the protective cover 5. A rotating handle 18 is fixed to the end of the threaded rod 13 outside the fixed cylinder 9. A bayonet 19 is provided on the front end face of the rotating shaft 7. A locking block 20 is fixed to the end of the rotating rod 14 outside the fixed cylinder 9. The locking block 20 is inserted and engaged with the bayonet 19. The bearing that rotatably connects the rotating block 11 and the rotating rod 14 is a one-way bearing.

[0030] Working principle of cleaning component 6: Rotating the handle 18 pushes the rotating block 11 and rotating rod 14 out through the threaded rod 13, so that the end of the rotating rod 14, the locking block 20, is inserted into the locking slot 19 of the rotating shaft 7 to achieve power connection; the cutting mechanism 3 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the elongated opening 17, the cleaning rod 16 and the sliding cylinder 15, when the rotating rod 14 moves, the sliding cylinder 15 slides relative to the rotating rod 14, and the cleaning rod 16 slides relative to the elongated opening 17. In this way, the cleaning rod 16 can be kept in the position within the protective cover 5 without interfering with the movement of the rotating rod 14.

[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a ball bearing 21 is embedded on the circumferential side wall of the rotating block 11. The ball bearing 21 rolls in contact with the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9. The function of the ball bearing 21 is to convert the sliding friction between the rotating block 11 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9 into rolling friction, so that the rotating block 11 moves and rotates more smoothly, the power transmission of the rotating rod 14 is more stable, and at the same time, the wear of the parts is reduced and the service life of the cleaning assembly 6 is extended.

[0032] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a limiting rod 22 is connected between the rotating blocks 11. The limiting rod 22 is symmetrically located on both sides of the spring 12. One end of the limiting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 11 near the threaded rod 13, and the other end of the limiting rod 22 slides through the rotating block 11 near the rotating rod 14 and is then fixedly connected to a limiting block 23. The setting of the limiting rod 22 allows the two rotating blocks 11 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, using the limiting block 23, when the rotating block 11 and the limiting rod 22 on the side near it are driven to move by the threaded rod 13, when the limiting block 23 is in contact with the other rotating block 11, it also drives the other rotating block 11 to move synchronously. This causes the rotating rod 14 to move away from the rotating axis 7 along with the rotating blocks 11, so that the locking block 20 disengages from the locking slot 19.

[0033] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the front side wall of the protective cover 5 is an openable door 24 that is hinged to the protective cover 5 and is made of transparent material. The protective cover 5 is cylindrical and has a discharge port 25 at the bottom. The rear inner wall of the protective cover 5 has a round opening 26 for the rotating shaft 7 to pass through and a cutting opening 27 aligned with the food outlet 2.

[0034] In practical use, the agricultural products to be processed are transported to the cutting mechanism 3 via the conveying mechanism 4, and continuously transported to the outlet 2. Then, they enter the protective cover 5 through the cutting port 27. At the same time, the drive component inside the main body 1 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate at high speed. The rotating shaft 7 drives the blade 8 to rotate synchronously. When the agricultural products enter the protective cover 5 from the outlet 2 and the cutting port 27, the high-speed rotating blade 8 slices the agricultural products. The sliced ​​agricultural products fall down and are discharged through the bottom outlet 25. Some agricultural product slices are thrown towards the inner wall of the protective cover 5 under the action of centrifugal force, slide down along the inner wall of the ring, and are discharged through the bottom outlet 25.

[0035] As processing continues, residual agricultural product slices gradually adhere to the inner wall of the protective cover 5. At this point, the operator rotates the handle 18, causing the threaded rod 13 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 9, it pushes into the fixed cylinder 9 during rotation, pushing the rotating block 11, which is fixed to it, to move and rotate closer to the rotating rod 14. This rotating block 11, through the limiting rod 22, drives the other rotating block 11 to rotate synchronously. Because the rotating block 11 and the rotating rod 14 are connected by a one-way bearing, the rotating block 11 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate synchronously, facilitating the alignment of the locking block 20 at the end of the rotating rod 14 with the locking slot 19 at the front end of the rotating shaft 7. If misaligned, the spring 12 is compressed. When the locking block 20 at the end of the rotating rod 14 aligns with the locking slot 19 at the front end of the rotating shaft 7, the locking block 20 enters the locking slot 19 under the rebound action of the spring 12, realizing the linkage and fixation of the rotating rod 14 and the rotating shaft 7. At this time, the rotating shaft 7 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, it will drive the rotating rod 14 to rotate synchronously through the locking block 20 and the locking slot 19. Since the rotating block 11 and the rotating rod 14 are connected by a one-way bearing, the rotating rod 14 will not drive the rotating block 11 to rotate at this time. The rotating rod 14 drives the sliding cylinder 15 and the scraper 10 to make a circular motion along the annular inner wall of the protective cover 5. The scraper 10 is in close contact with the inner wall of the protective cover 5. During the rotation, the agricultural product slices adhering to the inner wall are scraped off. The scraped slices slide down the inner wall of the protective cover 5 to the discharge port 25, completing the cleaning.

[0036] After cleaning, rotate the handle 18 in the opposite direction to move the threaded rod 13 out of the fixed cylinder 9. The threaded rod 13 will move the rotating block 11 and the limiting rod 22 on its side. When the limiting block 23 is in contact with another rotating block 11, it will also move the rotating block 11 synchronously. In turn, it will move the rotating rod 14 away from the rotating shaft 7 along with the rotating block 11. The locking block 20 will disengage from the locking slot 19, and the rotating rod 14 will be decoupled from the rotating shaft 7. In addition, the operator can observe the processing and cleaning effect inside the protective cover 5 in real time through the transparent box door 24 on the front side of the protective cover 5. When the equipment needs maintenance or repair, the box door 24 can be opened for operation, which is convenient to use.
