However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] The following is combined with Figure 1 The automatic asparagus cutting device in Example 1 is further described below, such as... Figure 1and Figure 4 As shown, an automatic asparagus cutting device includes a frame and a circulating conveyor chain. Multiple brackets 5 are installed on the circulating conveyor chain to support asparagus. A cutting device is installed on the frame, which includes a floating pressure roller 22, a cutting blade 23, and a cutting motor 21. The cutting blade 23 is located at the edge of the frame in the width direction, and the cutting motor 21 is driven by the cutting blade 23.

[0041] like Figures 5-7 As shown, in the cutting state, the floating pressure roller 22 is above a bracket 5 and presses down on the asparagus on the bracket 5, and the cutting blade 23 can cut the root of the asparagus that extends out of the bracket 5.

[0042] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the floating pressure roller 22 includes a wheel axle 223, a floating rod 222, and two pressure rollers 221; the pressure rollers 221 are elastic rollers; the elastic rollers are sponge rollers. The two pressure rollers 221 are respectively installed at both ends of the wheel axle 223, and the axial direction of the wheel axle 223 is parallel to the width direction of the frame; one end of the floating rod 222 is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the middle of the wheel axle 223, and the other end is hinged to the corresponding position of the frame.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the circulating conveyor chain includes two parallel chains 7, and each chain 7 is equipped with multiple support frames 6. The ends of the brackets 5 along their length are detachably connected to the ends of the support frames 6 away from the chains 7.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, the bracket 5 includes a connecting part 52 and a tray 51; the number of trays 51 is one or more; the tray 51 has a bent portion; the connecting part 52 is detachably connected to the end of the support frame 6 away from the chain 7, and the connecting part 52 is located on the side of the bracket 5 away from the bent portion of the tray 51.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying direction of the circulating conveyor chain is parallel to the length direction of the frame; the length direction of the frame is divided into a feeding section 1, a cutting section 2, and an output section 3 in sequence; the cutting equipment is installed in the cutting section 2.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic asparagus cutting equipment also includes a collection basket 4, which is located on the outer side of the end of the output section 3.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the axis of the cutting blade 23 is parallel to the axis of the wheel axle 223, and the axis of the cutting blade 23 is closer to the output section 3 than the axis of the wheel axle 223.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a guide plate 8 is installed on the frame below the cutting blade 23, and a cutting material basket is provided below the guide plate 8.

[0049] like Figure 10 As shown, there is a connecting rod 9 between the two corresponding support frames 6 on the two parallel chains 7.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the elastic wheel is a rubber wheel.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the elastic wheel is a polymer wheel (synthetic rubber wheel or TPE wheel).

[0054] Working principle of the automatic asparagus cutting equipment in Examples 1 to 3:

[0055] The operator places asparagus with roots on multiple trays 5 of the feeding section 1 in sequence. The length of the asparagus is parallel to the width of the frame. The asparagus is located inside the bend of the tray 51, and the roots of the asparagus extend out of the tray 5 (the roots of the asparagus are on one side of the cutting blade 23).

[0056] As the circulating conveyor chain operates, multiple trays 5 carrying asparagus pass sequentially through the cutting section 2. During cutting, a floating pressure roller 22 is positioned above one of the trays 5 and presses down on the asparagus on that tray 5, while the cutting blade 23 cuts the base of the asparagus extending from the tray 5. Figure 6 As shown, in order to prevent the floating pressure roller 22 from damaging the bracket 5, the upper edge of the guide plate 8 provides auxiliary support to the end of the bracket 5 near the cutting blade 23.

[0057] from Figure 3 and Figure 6 It is clear that the axis of the cutting blade 23 is closer to the output section 3 than the axis of the wheel axle 223, so the cutting blade 23 cuts the asparagus after the pressure roller 221 has pressed it down. Because the cutting blade 23 completes the cutting of the asparagus root in a very short time (less than 1 second), and from... Figure 7 It can be seen that the two ends of the bent part of the bracket 5 are in contact with the pressure roller 221 for a certain period of time (greater than 1 second), so the cutting blade 23 can complete the cutting while the pressure roller 221 is pressing down on the asparagus. The cut asparagus root enters the cutting basket along the guide plate 8.

[0058] When chain 7 runs to the side near the collection basket 4 and flips (passing the sprocket), it brings the asparagus with the roots removed into the collection basket 4.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications or equivalent changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
