AI Technical Summary
Existing potato cutting devices for breeding plants have difficulty evenly spreading talcum powder on the surface of potato pieces, resulting in uneven adhesion of talcum powder. Furthermore, excess powder is collected directly without processing, leading to resource waste and increased processing costs.
The device employs the coordinated operation of a cutting mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a powder-spreading shell, a grid plate, a discharge port, a drawer-type collection box, a stirring mechanism, and a blowing mechanism. The stirring mechanism ensures that the talcum powder adheres evenly to the surface of the potato pieces, while the inclined grid plate and drawer-type collection box collect excess powder.
This method achieves uniform adhesion of talcum powder to the surface of potato chunks, reduces talcum powder waste, lowers the risk of mold growth, and reduces subsequent processing costs.

The output end of the first motor 11 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12. The first motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rods 13, which are evenly spirally arranged along the axial direction, to rotate, causing the falling potato pieces to flip and shift above the grid plate 5.
[0021] The blowing mechanism 7 includes a conveying pipe 17 mounted on the upper side of the mounting frame 6, a longitudinal pipe 19 connected to one end of the outer wall of the conveying pipe 17 and located above multiple stirring rods 13, a conical cover 20 connected to one end of the longitudinal pipe 19, a powder storage mechanism connected to one end of the outer wall of the conveying pipe 17 and located outside the powder spreading housing 3, a blower 18 mounted on the upper side of the mounting frame 6, and a U-shaped support 21 connected to the outer wall of the conveying pipe 17 and located inside the powder spreading housing 3; the upper side of the U-shaped support 21 is connected to the lower side of the feeding mechanism 2; the air outlet of the blower 18 passes through one end of the conveying pipe 17.

The second motor 27 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate. In combination with the threaded sleeve 25 and the guide key, it can drive the linear movement of the push plate 26 to ensure that the number of potatoes pushed each time is consistent.
[0024] The cutting mechanism 1 includes a cutting shell 28 connected to one side of the powdering housing 3, a cylinder 30 mounted on the upper side of the cutting shell 28, a cutter 31 connected to the output end of the cylinder 30 and located inside the cutting shell 28, a discharge port 29 located on one side of the cutting shell 28 and communicating with one side of the powdering housing 3, a sealing mechanism located on one side of the cutting shell 28 and slidingly engaged with the discharge port 29, a first electric push rod 32 mounted on the other side of the cutting shell 28, and an arc-shaped clamping block 33 connected to the output end of the first electric push rod 32 and located inside the cutting shell 28; the center of the arc-shaped clamping block 33 coincides with the central axis of the discharge port 29; one end of the feeding shell 22 communicates with the top of one side of the cutting shell 28 and is located above the discharge port 29. The cylinder 30 drives the cutter 31 to move vertically, and combined with the coaxial arrangement of the arc-shaped clamping block 33 and the discharge port 29, it can clamp and cut potatoes of different sizes.
[0025] The sealing mechanism includes a sealing plate 38 slidably fitted within the discharge port 29, a connecting plate 37 connected to one side of the sealing plate 38, a connecting rod 36 fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 37, a fixing plate 35 fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 36, and a second electric push rod 34 installed on one side of the cutting shell 28. The output end of the second electric push rod 34 is connected to one side of the fixing plate 35 and is horizontally spaced from the connecting rod 36. When the second electric push rod 34 extends or retracts, it drives the sealing plate 38 to slide within the discharge port 29 through the transmission between the connecting rod 36 and the connecting plate 37, completing the opening and closing action.
[0026] An exhaust port is provided on the top side of the powder-spreading housing 3, which is connected to the outer wall of the powder-spreading housing 3 and a pipe corresponding to the exhaust port. The pipe is connected to an external bag filter to prevent talcum powder from overflowing and polluting the environment.
[0027] A PLC controller is installed on one side of the cutting shell 28. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the first motor 11, the second motor 27, the cylinder 30, the first electric push rod 32, the second electric push rod 34, the fan 18, and the electric powder butterfly valve 16, and is used to control the operation of each component.
[0028] Working process and principle: When cutting potatoes into chunks, first open the cover and place multiple potatoes neatly in a row into the feeding shell 22. The second motor 27 is started by the PLC controller, driving the lead screw 24 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 25 then moves the pusher plate 26 closer to the cutting shell 28, pushing the potatoes into the cutting shell 28 sequentially. After the first potato falls into the cutting shell 28, the second electric push rod 34 drives the sealing plate 38 to slide, closing the discharge port 29. Simultaneously, the first electric push rod 32 drives the arc-shaped clamping block 33 to clamp the potato, and the cylinder 30 drives the cutter 31 downwards to complete the cutting.
[0029] After the blocks are cut, the second electric push rod 34 drives the sealing plate 38 to move outward from the block-cutting shell 28, opening the discharge port 29. The first electric push rod 32 then moves again, pushing the arc-shaped clamping block 33 to push the blocks onto the grid plate 5 of the powder-spreading shell 3. At this time, the blower 18 starts, and the talc powder in the powder box 14, under the control of the electric powder butterfly valve 16, enters the conveying pipe 17 through the discharge pipe 15, and is evenly blown onto the grid plate 5 through the longitudinal pipe 19 and the conical cover 20. At the same time, the first motor 11 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, driving the spirally arranged stirring rod 13 to turn the blocks, ensuring that the talc powder is evenly attached to the surface of the blocks.
[0030] The potato chunks coated with powder slide along the inclined grid plate 5 towards the discharge port 9, while residual powder falls through the grid plate 5 into the drawer-type collection box 8 below for easy recycling. A vibration motor below the grid plate 5 is activated periodically under the control of the PLC controller, using vibration to remove clumps of material from the grid gaps and prevent clogging. Dust generated during the powder application process is introduced into a bag filter for treatment through the exhaust port. The device uses an agitation mechanism 4 to evenly coat the potato chunks with talcum powder, forming a protective layer; the inclined grid plate 5 and drawer-type collection box 8 collect excess powder, reducing waste and lowering the risk of mold growth in rainy weather.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
