[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. 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.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a dicing device for auxiliary materials used in sauce making, including a processing table 1. The processing table 1 carries an automatic strip cutting mechanism and an automatic dicing mechanism. The automatic strip cutting mechanism is responsible for cutting block-shaped auxiliary materials into strips, and the automatic dicing mechanism further cuts the strip-shaped auxiliary materials into diced shapes.

[0026] The processing table 1 is made of sturdy metal material and has good stability. The lower end of the L-shaped support block 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the processing table 1 by welding or bolting. The upper end of the L-shaped support block 2 is provided with a guide groove 21 by machining to discharge the cut diced auxiliary materials. The upper end of the L-shaped support block 2 is fixedly connected with a rectangular hollow block 22 by welding or bolting. The upper end of the rectangular hollow block 22 is provided with a feeding port 23 by machining to feed the blocky auxiliary materials.

[0027] The upper end of the L-shaped support block 2 is fixed with screws to install a servo electric cylinder 24. One end of the piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to a push plate 25 by welding or bolting. The outer side of the push plate 25 is connected to the inner wall of the rectangular hollow block 22 by sliding fit. This connection method can ensure that the push plate 25 slides smoothly in the rectangular hollow block 22.

[0028] The upper end of the rectangular hollow block 22 is provided with a slot 26 by machining. The inner wall of the slot 26 is connected to the well-shaped cutter frame 27 by a movable insertion. The upper end of the well-shaped cutter frame 27 is fixedly connected with a handle 28 by welding or bolting, which makes it convenient for the operator to insert and remove the well-shaped cutter frame 27. The upper end of the rectangular hollow block 22 is fixedly connected with a vertical rod 29 by welding or bolting.

[0029] The upper end of the upright 29 is fixedly connected to a stop 210 by welding or bolting. The lower end of the stop 210 is fixedly connected to a torsion spring 211 by welding or bonding. One end of the torsion spring 211 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 212 by welding or bonding. The inner wall of the rotating block 212 is rotatably connected to the outside of the upright 29 by a high-precision bearing. The lower end of the upright 29 contacts the upper end of the rectangular hollow block 22 and the well-shaped cutter frame 27 respectively. The torsion spring 211 and the rotating block 212 can be used to lock and unlock the well-shaped cutter frame 27.

[0030] In the automatic dicing mechanism, the lower ends of the two guide rods 3 are symmetrically distributed and are fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped support block 2 by welding or bolting. This connection method can ensure that the guide rods 3 are stably installed and provide reliable support for subsequent components. The exterior of the two guide rods 3 is connected to the lifting block 31 by sliding sleeve. The guide rods 3 play a precise guiding role for the up and down movement of the lifting block 31, ensuring that the lifting block 31 will not deviate or shake during the movement, so that the reciprocating cutter 32 can accurately dic the filamentous auxiliary material.

[0031] The lower end of the lifting block 31 is fixedly connected to a reciprocating cutter 32 by welding or bolting. This connection method ensures that the reciprocating cutter 32 is firmly connected to the lifting block 31, so that the reciprocating cutter 32 can move up and down stably with the lifting block 31. One side of the reciprocating cutter 32 contacts one side of the rectangular hollow block 22, and can effectively cut the filamentous auxiliary material coming out of the rectangular hollow block 22 during the movement.

[0032] The upper end of the lifting block 31 is fixedly connected with symmetrically distributed support columns 33 by welding or bolting. The support columns 33 are used to support the drive block 34 and transmit the force of the drive block 34 to the lifting block 31. The upper ends of the two support columns 33 are fixedly connected with the drive block 34 by welding or bolting. The drive block 34 cooperates with the drive slide rod 39 to realize the up and down movement of the lifting block 31.

[0033] The upper ends of the two guide rods 3 are fixedly connected to an L-shaped mounting plate 35 by welding or bolting. The L-shaped mounting plate 35 is used to mount the servo motor 36. The servo motor 36 is mounted on one side of the L-shaped mounting plate 35 by screws. The output shaft of the servo motor 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 37 by a coupling. The coupling can effectively compensate for the relative displacement between the two shafts, buffer vibration and impact, ensure stable power transmission, and enable the rotating shaft 37 to rotate smoothly with the rotation of the servo motor 36.

[0034] One end of the rotating shaft 37 passes through the L-shaped mounting plate 35 and is fixedly sleeved with the drive disk 38 by means of interference fit or key connection. The interference fit or key connection can ensure that the drive disk 38 and the rotating shaft 37 rotate synchronously, and the power transmission is stable and reliable. One side of the drive disk 38 is fixedly connected with the drive slide rod 39 by welding or bolt connection. The outside of the drive slide rod 39 is connected to the inner wall of the drive block 34 by means of sliding fit. When the drive disk 38 rotates, the drive slide rod 39 slides in the drive block 34, thereby driving the drive block 34 and the lifting block 31 connected thereto to slide up and down, realizing the reciprocating motion of the reciprocating cutter 32 to complete the dicing work.

[0035] The working process of this utility model:

[0036] Step 1: Before dicing the sauce ingredients, place the block-shaped ingredients into the rectangular hollow block 22 through the feeding port 23. Activate the servo electric cylinder 24. The piston rod of the servo electric cylinder 24 pushes the push plate 25 to slide within the rectangular hollow block 22, pushing the block-shaped ingredients towards the well-shaped cutting frame 27. Since the well-shaped cutting frame 27 and the rectangular hollow block 22 are movably connected through the slot 26 and locked by components such as the upright 29, the block-shaped ingredients, pushed by the push plate 25, pass through the well-shaped cutting frame 27. When the dicing size needs to be changed, the operator rotates the rotating block 212. The rotating block 212 rotates around the upright 29. At this time, the torsion spring 211 is deformed by force, releasing the lock on the well-shaped cutter frame 27. The operator pulls out the well-shaped cutter frame 27 through the handle 28 and replaces it with a well-shaped cutter frame 27 that meets the required size. After the replacement is completed, the rotating block 212 is released, and the torsion spring 211 drives the rotating block 212 to reset, locking the well-shaped cutter frame 27 again.

[0037] Step two: While the automatic strip cutting is in progress, the servo motor 36 is started. The output shaft of the servo motor 36 drives the rotating shaft 37 to rotate through the coupling. The rotating shaft 37 drives the drive disk 38 to rotate. The drive slide rod 39 on the drive disk 38 slides in the drive block 34, causing the lifting block 31 to slide up and down along the guide rod 3, thereby driving the reciprocating cutter 32 to reciprocate. The auxiliary material after being cut into strips by the well-shaped cutter frame 27 is further cut into cubes by the reciprocating cutter 32. The cut cubes of auxiliary material are discharged and collected through the guide chute 21.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
