[0011] Preferably, there are two positioning blocks, a pair of positioning blocks are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the pressure plate, and a pair of pull ropes are also fixedly connected to the surface of the pull ropes and driven by a magnetic column. A magnetic block is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame, and the magnetic block and the magnetic column are designed to attract each other in opposite directions.

[0012] Preferably, the surface of the upright and the inside of the groove are rotatably connected to guide wheels, and each pair of pressure plates is designed to be staggered vertically.

[0013] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the surface of the support plate, a baffle is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod, a limit rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle, and the end of the limit rod away from the baffle slides through the support plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a root-removing machine for pre-processing vegetables includes a base frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is mounted on the base frame 1. A protective frame 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame 1. A blade 7 is provided on the surface of the protective frame 6. The blade 7 is driven by a motor.

[0029] The base frame 1 and the conveyor belt 2 are fixedly connected with partition plates. Several sets of partition plates are provided, and each set consists of two partition plates.

[0030] Furthermore, each group has two partitions, namely partition 1 (3) and partition 2 (31).

[0031] Both partition 3 and partition 2 31 have slots 8 on their surfaces. A pressure plate 5 is rotatably connected to the slot on the surface of partition 2 31 by a torsion spring. The other end of the pressure plate 5 is installed in the slot on the surface of partition 3 by a positioning mechanism.

[0032] A positioning mechanism is provided on the surface of the base frame 1;

[0033] The positioning mechanism includes a vertical rod 16, a guide rod 17 fixedly connected to the surface of the vertical rod 16, a positioning block 9 slidably connected to the surface of the guide rod 17 via a spring, a positioning groove is opened on the surface of the pressure plate 5 relative to the positioning block 9, an angle is opened on the surface of the positioning block 9, a connecting rope 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning block 9, a sliding groove is opened on the surface of the partition plate 31, a magnetic column 12 is slidably connected to the sliding groove via a spring, a pull rope 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the magnetic column 12, the connecting rope 15 is connected to the pull rope 11, a guide wheel is rotatably connected to the surface of the vertical rod 16 and the sliding groove, each pair of pressure plates 5 is designed to be staggered vertically, two positioning blocks 9 are provided, a pair of positioning blocks 9 are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the pressure plate 5, a pair of pull ropes 11 are also fixedly connected to the surface of the pull rope 11, and are uniformly driven by the magnetic column 12, a magnetic block 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame 1, the magnetic block 19 and the magnetic column 12 are designed to be attracted to each other by opposite phases;

[0034] During operation, first adjust the positioning mechanism to the appropriate position, then place vegetables such as celery and scallions between the two partition plates. Then, rotate the pressure plate 5 so that it presses against the surface of the vegetables. Simultaneously, because the positioning block 9 has an angled surface, the pressure plate 5 can directly engage with the positioning groove, securing it in place. The pressure plate 5 also secures the vegetables on the conveyor belt 2. Then, start the conveyor belt 2, which moves the vegetables to the blade 7 position for root cutting. The use of partition plates 3 and 31, in conjunction with the pressure plate 5, secures the vegetables, preventing displacement of the folded vegetable roots during vibration and thus solving the cutting problem. This significantly improves processing efficiency, eliminating issues such as uneven root and stem lengths and missed cuts. When the partition 31 with magnetic column 12 moves to the position of magnetic block 19, magnetic block 19 attracts magnetic column 12 towards itself. At this time, magnetic column 12 drives pull rope 11, pull rope 11 pulls connecting rope 15, and connecting rope 15 drives positioning block 9 to move until it leaves the positioning groove, thereby releasing the restriction on pressure plate 5. At this time, torsion spring resets and causes pressure plate 5 to spring open, allowing vegetables between partition 3 and partition 31 to fall into the collection box. The design of two positioning blocks 9 can prevent pressure plate 5 from becoming eccentric, which would reduce the fixing effect on vegetables.

[0035] A support plate 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base frame 1. A threaded rod 23 is threadedly connected to the surface of the support plate 22. A baffle 18 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 23. A limit rod 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 18. The end of the limit rod 21 away from the baffle 18 slides through the support plate 22.

[0036] During operation, by turning the threaded rod 23, the threaded rod 23 drives the baffle 18 to move forward or backward, thereby adjusting the distance between the baffle 18 and the blade 7. This allows for the cutting of different vegetable roots and stems of different lengths, greatly improving practicality. At the same time, the limiting rod 21 ensures that the baffle 18 only moves back and forth and does not rotate with the threaded rod 23.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Please see Figure 6 As shown in the first embodiment, as another implementation of this utility model, an elastic block 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressure plate 5. The elastic block 25 is made of rubber and is arc-shaped.

[0039] During operation, the elastic block 25 made of rubber can further fix the vegetables, prevent the pressure plate 5 from damaging the vegetables, and can also be adapted to vegetables of different diameters.
