Traditional lotus root slicing devices are prone to displacement of the lotus root during the slicing process, affecting slicing accuracy and efficiency.
A lotus root processing and slicing device was designed. The first gear is slowly rotated by the second motor, which drives the linkage arm and the longitudinal rod to reciprocate and lift. The elasticity of the spring makes the pressure seat press the lotus root elastically downward and limit it at the top of the conveyor belt. Combined with the meshing of the first gear and the third gear, the cutter is driven to continuously slice the lotus root. The active roller and the driven roller drive the conveyor belt to automatically feed the lotus root.
This ensures the precision and efficiency of lotus root slicing, enabling continuous slicing and automatic feeding of lotus roots, and reducing displacement of lotus roots during the slicing process.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, specifically a lotus root slicing device. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for lotus root, a nutritious and crisp food, continues to rise. However, traditional lotus root slicing methods rely heavily on manual labor, which results in low efficiency, uneven slice thickness, and high labor intensity. Therefore, developing a lotus root processing and slicing device is of particular importance.
[0003] Referring to the lotus root slicing device disclosed in CN211104325U, it includes a frame, a bracket welded to the right side of the top of the frame, an electric push rod fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket, and a bearing plate welded to the bottom end of the electric push rod through the bracket and extending into the inner cavity. Sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the bottom of the bearing plate, and protrusions are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sliding grooves. This device, through the arrangement of the frame, bracket, electric push rod, bearing plate, protrusions, mounting plate, cutter, guide plate, driving roller, driven roller, metal belt, and drive mechanism, enables the lotus root slicing device to achieve high slicing quality and efficiency. It also solves the problem that existing lotus root slicing methods mostly rely on manual slicing with simple slicing devices, and some of these devices have relatively low automation levels, affecting slicing quality and efficiency. As can be seen from the above, although this device can be well applied, it is usually not convenient to limit and fix the lotus root during the slicing process, making it prone to displacement during slicing, thus affecting the slicing accuracy and often troubling users. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lotus root slicing device to solve the problem that although the device proposed in the background art can be applied well, it is usually not convenient to limit and fix the lotus root during the slicing process, which makes the lotus root easy to move during the slicing process and thus affects the accuracy of lotus root slicing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lotus root processing and slicing device, comprising a base, a top seat above the base, and equally spaced uprights on both sides of the bottom end of the top seat, the bottom ends of the uprights being fixedly connected to the top end of the base. A top plate is provided above the top seat, and support frames are provided at the corners of the bottom end of the top plate, the bottom ends of the support frames being connected to the top end of the top seat. A reducer is provided at the top end of the base between the uprights, a transmission frame is provided at the top end of the base on one side of the reducer, and a second motor is installed at the top end of the base on the other side of the reducer. One end of the second motor is connected to an input shaft on the outer wall of one side of the reducer. A first gear is rotatably mounted at the center of the transmission frame, and the inner wall of the first gear is connected to the reducer. The output shaft is connected to the outer side wall. A second gear is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the transmission frame on one side of the first gear. The second gear meshes with the first gear. A linkage arm is provided on the outer wall of the second gear through a guide shaft extending to the outside of the transmission frame. A crossbar is rotatably mounted on the end of the linkage arm away from the second gear. A longitudinal bar is mounted on both ends of the crossbar. The top of the longitudinal bar extends through to the top of the top plate. A placement cylinder is fitted on the outer wall of the upper end of the longitudinal bar. A pressure rod is movably mounted on the outer wall of the two longitudinal bars inside the placement cylinder. A pressure seat is provided at the bottom end of the pressure rod. A spring is wound on the outer wall of the longitudinal bar above the pressure rod. A control panel is mounted on the top of the base on one side of the second motor. The output terminal of the microcontroller inside the control panel is electrically connected to the input terminal of the second motor.
[0006] Preferably, a first U-shaped frame is provided on the outer wall of one side of the top plate, and a driven roller is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the first U-shaped frame. The first U-shaped frame is provided to allow the driven roller to be moved and positioned.
[0007] Preferably, a second U-shaped frame is provided on the outer wall of the top plate on the side away from the first U-shaped frame, and an active roller is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the second U-shaped frame. The active roller can be moved and positioned by the setting of the second U-shaped frame.
[0008] Preferably, a conveyor belt is wound around the outer wall of the driven roller and the driving roller on the outer side of the top plate, and a first motor is installed on the outer wall of one side of the second U-shaped frame. The input end of the first motor is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller inside the control panel. The input end of the first motor is connected to one end of the driving roller. The first motor is configured to drive the driving roller to rotate.
[0009] Preferably, a third gear is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the transmission frame on the side of the first gear away from the second gear. The third gear meshes with the first gear. One end of the third gear extends to the outside of the transmission frame through a guide shaft and is provided with a linkage rod. The meshing of the third gear with the first gear drives the third gear to rotate in the opposite direction when the first gear rotates.
[0010] Preferably, a positioning seat is installed at the top of the top plate on one side of the pressing seat, a cutter is rotatably installed on the top of the positioning seat, and a movable rod is rotatably installed at the end of the cutter away from the positioning seat. The bottom end of the movable rod is rotatably connected to one end of the linkage rod. The cutter is used to slice the lotus root.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the lotus root processing slicing device not only ensures the slicing accuracy of lotus root when the slicing device is used, but also enables the cutter to perform continuous slicing operations on lotus root, so as to ensure the slicing efficiency of lotus root when the slicing device is used, and also achieves the purpose of automatically assisting in feeding lotus root.
[0012] The first gear is slowly rotated by the second motor via the reducer, which in turn drives the linkage arm to rotate via the second gear. This causes the linkage arm to reciprocate up and down via the crossbar and the vertical bar. When the vertical bar moves the pressure seat downward via the placement cylinder and the pressure bar, the spring has good elasticity, which causes the pressure seat to elastically press the lotus root down to the top of the conveyor belt. This reduces the displacement that occurs during the lotus root slicing process, thus ensuring the slicing accuracy of the lotus root when the slicing device is used.
[0013] When the first gear rotates, it drives the third gear to rotate in the opposite direction. The third gear drives the linkage rod to rotate via the guide shaft. The linkage rod drives the cutter to rotate back and forth around the positioning seat via the movable rod. The cutter performs continuous slicing of lotus root, thus ensuring the slicing efficiency of lotus root when the slicing device is used.
[0014] By placing the lotus root on the right side of the top of the conveyor belt, when the first motor drives the active roller to rotate, the active roller, in conjunction with the driven roller, drives the conveyor belt to move so that the conveyor belt moves the lotus root to below the cutter, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically assisting in feeding the lotus root.

The top of the base 1 on the other side of the reducer 13 is provided with a second motor 15. One end of the second motor 15 is connected to the input shaft on the outer wall of one side of the reducer 13. The first gear 17 is rotatably installed at the center of the transmission frame 14. The inner wall of the first gear 17 is connected to the output shaft on the outer wall of one side of the reducer 13. The third gear 18 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the transmission frame 14 on the side of the first gear 17 away from the second gear 16. The third gear 18 meshes with the first gear 17.

[0028] In use, the third gear 18 meshes with the first gear 17 so that when the first gear 17 rotates, it drives the third gear 18 to rotate in the opposite direction.
[0029] A positioning seat 28 is installed on the top of the top plate 5 on one side of the pressure seat 25. A cutter 27 is rotatably installed on the top of the positioning seat 28.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lotus root is first placed on the right side of the top of the conveyor belt 11. When the first motor 10 drives the drive roller 9 to rotate, the drive roller 9, in conjunction with the driven roller 7, drives the conveyor belt 11 to move, so that the conveyor belt 11 moves the lotus root below the cutter 27. The feeding rate of the lotus root can be adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the drive roller 9 driven by the first motor 10. Then, the rotation of the first gear 17 drives the third gear 18 to rotate in opposite directions, so that the third gear 18 drives the linkage rod 20 to rotate via the guide shaft. The linkage rod 20 drives the cutter 27 to rotate up and down around the positioning seat 28 via the movable rod 26, so that the cutter 27 can continuously slice the lotus root. By simply adjusting the power of the second motor 15, the up-and-down rotation speed of the cutter 27 can be driven to slice the lotus root to the appropriate thickness. Finally, the second motor 15 drives the first gear 17 to rotate slowly via the reducer 13, so that the first gear 17 drives the linkage arm 19 to rotate via the second gear 16. This causes the linkage arm 19 to drive the vertical rod 22 to reciprocate up and down via the crossbar 21. When the vertical rod 22 drives the pressure seat 25 to move downward via the placement cylinder 23 and the pressure rod 24, the spring 29 has a good elastic effect, so that the pressure seat 25 elastically presses the lotus root to the top of the conveyor belt 11, thereby reducing the displacement phenomenon during the lotus root slicing process and ensuring the slicing accuracy of the lotus root, thus completing the use of the slicing device.
