[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a manual-assisted stem-cutting machine to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that existing stem-cutting machines cannot flexibly adjust the material discharge speed and flow rate during the discharge process, resulting in material accumulation or poor discharge.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a manual assisted stem cutting machine, comprising a stem cutting machine body, wherein a discharge adjustment component is provided inside the stem cutting machine body, the discharge adjustment component being used to regulate the speed and flow rate of material discharge;

[0006] The material discharge adjustment assembly includes a material discharge trough inside the main body of the cutting machine. The top of the material discharge trough is connected to evenly arranged electric push rods. The top of the electric push rods is connected to a material discharge plate via a movable shaft. Adjacent sets of material discharge plates are connected by silicone connecting pieces. The material discharge plates are connected to the main body of the cutting machine via hinges.

[0007] Preferably, the body of the cutting machine has an internal mounting groove, a miniature telescopic rod is mounted on the rear wall of the mounting groove, a push plate is connected to the output end of the miniature telescopic rod, a protective pad is connected to the front of the push plate, and a protrusion is provided on the front of the protective pad.

[0008] The miniature telescopic rod has an adjustable stroke of 0-100mm, a thrust of 50N, is driven by a stepper motor, has a repeatability of ±0.1mm, and an adjustable control frequency range of 1-10Hz.

[0009] Preferably, the stem cutting machine body has a feed inlet on one side.

[0010] Preferably, a servo motor is installed on the bottom wall of the main body of the stem-cutting machine. The output end of the servo motor is connected to a drive pulley.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This utility model incorporates a discharge adjustment component within the main body of the stem cutting machine. Specifically, it utilizes evenly distributed electric actuators at the top of the discharge trough to drive the discharge plate, thereby regulating the speed and flow rate of material discharge. Compared to existing technologies, which rely solely on gravity or simple valve control for discharge adjustment, this utility model, through the extension and retraction control of the electric actuators, adjusts the opening and closing angle of the discharge plate based on the viscosity or particle size of different materials. This allows for precise control of the material discharge speed and flow rate, improving the accuracy and controllability of material discharge. It effectively prevents defective products or equipment malfunctions in subsequent processing stages due to unstable material discharge. Therefore, it solves the problem of existing stem cutting machines' inability to flexibly adjust material discharge speed and flow rate during the discharge process, leading to material accumulation or poor discharge. This significantly enhances the applicability and stability of the stem cutting machine in different production scenarios, providing a strong guarantee for efficient and stable production processes.

[0019] 2. This utility model utilizes a miniature telescopic rod installed on the rear wall of a groove inside the main body of the cutting machine. This miniature telescopic rod drives a pusher plate to push the material forward, achieving a stable material delivery effect. Compared to existing technologies, current cutting machines use belt conveyors or simple mechanical levers for material transport, which easily leads to material displacement, jamming, or even slippage during transport. This is especially problematic for irregularly shaped or smooth-surfaced materials, resulting in poor transport stability. The miniature telescopic rod in this utility model, combined with a pusher plate featuring a protective pad and a raised front, prevents damage to the material surface. The raised surface increases friction between the pusher plate and the material, ensuring stable forward movement without displacement or shaking. Furthermore, the miniature telescopic rod can precisely control the pushing force and frequency according to the material's transport speed and processing rhythm, improving the stability and efficiency of material transport within the cutting machine. Therefore, it solves the problems of jamming and low transport efficiency in existing cutting machines, ensuring materials enter the cutting process in a stable and efficient manner, reducing production interruptions and defect rates, and improving overall production efficiency and product quality.

[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] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a manual assisted stem cutting machine, comprising a stem cutting machine body 1, wherein a discharge adjustment component is provided inside the stem cutting machine body 1, the discharge adjustment component being used to regulate the speed and flow rate of material discharge;

[0029] The material discharge adjustment assembly includes a material discharge trough 2 inside the main body 1 of the cutting machine. The top of the material discharge trough 2 is connected to evenly arranged electric push rods 3. The top of the electric push rods 3 is connected to a material discharge plate 4 through a movable shaft. Adjacent sets of material discharge plates 4 are connected by silicone connecting pieces 18. The material discharge plate 4 is connected to the main body 1 of the cutting machine through a hinge.

[0030] Furthermore, inside the main body 1 of the cutting machine, the discharge adjustment component plays a key role. The design of the discharge chute 2 provides a channel for the discharge of materials, and the electric push rods 3 evenly connected at the top can be precisely extended and retracted according to actual production needs.

[0031] The movable shaft is made of stainless steel with a diameter of 8mm. Both ends are fixed by snap rings. The movable shaft is connected to the top of the electric push rod 3 by a U-shaped connector, allowing a swing angle of ±15°. The back of the discharge plate 4 is welded with connecting ears, which are connected to the electric push rod 3 through the movable shaft.

[0032] When the electric actuator 3 extends, it drives the discharge plate 4 to flip upward through the movable shaft, increasing the opening of the discharge port and allowing the material to be discharged quickly. Conversely, when the electric actuator 3 shortens, the discharge plate 4 flips downward, reducing the opening of the discharge port and slowing down the material discharge speed.

[0033] The silicone connecting piece 18 between two adjacent sets of discharge plates 4 is 2mm thick, 30mm wide, and 10mm longer than the gap between the discharge plates 4. The silicone connecting piece 18 has dovetail grooves on both sides to cooperate with the protrusions on the side of the discharge plate 4. The silicone of the silicone connecting piece 18 has a Shore A50 hardness, with good elasticity and wear resistance. It not only ensures the flexibility of the discharge plate 4 during operation, but also prevents material leakage from the gap between the plates, ensuring the smoothness and controllability of the discharge process. The discharge plate 4 is connected to the main body 1 of the cutting machine through a hinge, so that the discharge plate 4 can open and close in a stable manner, thereby achieving precise control of the material discharge speed and flow rate.

[0034] The electric actuator 3 is precisely controlled by an external PLC control system. The control signal is fed back through a built-in encoder to achieve closed-loop control. The control system can preset three working modes:

[0035] Manual mode: The extension and retraction of each electric actuator 3 can be controlled individually via the buttons on the control panel;

[0036] Automatic mode: Automatically adjusts the opening of the discharge plate 4 based on feedback from the material sensor;

[0037] Preset mode: Multiple sets of parameter schemes are preset for different material types.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of this utility model is a manual assisted stem cutting machine. The main body 1 of the stem cutting machine has an installation groove 5 inside. A miniature telescopic rod 6 is installed on the rear wall of the installation groove 5. The output end of the miniature telescopic rod 6 is connected to a push plate 7. A protective pad is connected to the front of the push plate 7. The front of the protective pad is provided with a protrusion.

[0039] The miniature telescopic rod 6 has an adjustable stroke of 0-100mm, a thrust of 50N, is driven by a stepper motor, has a repeatability of ±0.1mm, and an adjustable control frequency range of 1-10Hz to adapt to different material conveying speeds.

[0040] The main body 1 of the cutting machine has a feed inlet 8 on one side.

[0041] Furthermore, the mounting slot 5 inside the main body 1 of the cutting machine provides an installation position for the miniature telescopic rod 6. The miniature telescopic rod 6 serves as a power source, and its output end is connected to the push plate 7. When the equipment is running, the miniature telescopic rod 6 precisely controls the forward and backward movement of the push plate 7 according to the set program or the real-time demand for material conveying. The protective pad connected to the front of the push plate 7 is made of a soft and tough material, which can effectively prevent scratches or wear on the material surface during the pushing process. It is especially suitable for some materials with delicate surfaces. The protrusions on the front of the protective pad greatly increase the friction between the push plate 7 and the material. When pushing materials, even irregularly shaped or smooth materials can move forward stably under the action of the push plate 7 without positional deviation, jamming, or slippage.

[0042] The feed inlet 8 on one side of the main body 1 of the stem-cutting machine is the entrance for materials to enter the machine. This allows operators to smoothly feed the materials to be cut into the machine. Whether the materials are manually fed or connected to external automated feeding equipment, the feed inlet 8 ensures smooth material entry, facilitating the initial stage of the entire stem-cutting process and ensuring that the materials can enter the subsequent processing stages in a timely and accurate manner.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 One embodiment of this utility model is a manual assisted stem cutting machine. A servo motor 9 is installed on the bottom wall of the main body 1 of the stem cutting machine. The output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to a drive pulley 10. A transmission belt 11 is sleeved on the outer surface of the drive pulley 10. A driven pulley 12 is connected inside the transmission belt 11. A transmission shaft 13 is connected to the front of the driven pulley 12. A stem cutting knife 14 is connected to the front of the transmission shaft 13.

[0044] The active pulley 10 has a diameter of 60mm, the driven pulley 12 has a diameter of 30mm, the transmission ratio is 1:2, the servo motor 9 has an adjustable speed of 0-3000rpm, and the cutting knife 14 has a working speed range of 0-6000rpm.

[0045] The cutting knife 14 is made of high-speed steel, with a diameter of 80mm and a thickness of 2mm.

[0046] The transmission belt 11 has a double-layer structure, with an inner rubber layer and an outer polyurethane fiber braided layer.

[0047] Furthermore, a servo motor 9 is installed on the bottom wall of the main body 1 of the cleaver. The output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to the drive pulley 10, which rotates at high speed under the drive of the servo motor 9. The transmission belt 11 sleeved on the outer surface of the drive pulley 10 transmits the rotational power of the drive pulley 10 to the driven pulley 12. The transmission belt 11 adopts a double-layer structure. The inner rubber layer has good flexibility and elasticity, which can adapt to the high-speed rotation of the pulley and reduce energy loss. The outer polyurethane fiber braided layer gives the belt high strength and wear resistance, extends the service life of the transmission belt 11, and ensures the stability of power transmission.

[0048] The drive shaft 13, which is connected to the front of the driven pulley 12, rotates synchronously under the drive of the driven pulley 12, thereby driving the cutting knife 14 connected to the front of the drive shaft 13 to rotate at high speed. During the high-speed rotation, the cutting knife 14 can perform precise and efficient cutting operations on the material entering the working area.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 One embodiment of this utility model is a manual assisted stem cutting machine, wherein a fixed frame 15 is connected to the top of the main body 1 of the stem cutting machine, and the fixed frame 15 is located outside the transmission shaft 13.

[0050] The top of the main body 1 of the cutting machine is connected to a protective cover 16, and the protective cover 16 is located outside the cutting knife 14;

[0051] The top of the main body 1 of the chodie machine is provided with a storage slot 17.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixed frame 15 connected to the top of the main body 1 of the cutting machine is located on the outside of the drive shaft 13. It plays a role in providing stable support for the drive shaft 13, preventing the drive shaft 13 from shaking during high-speed rotation, ensuring the running stability of the cutting knife 14, and thus improving the cutting accuracy.

[0053] The protective cover 16 connected to the top is located outside the cutting knife 14, providing safety for the operator. It can effectively prevent material from splashing or accidental injury from the cutting knife 14 during the cutting process, ensuring that the operator can operate in a safe environment. The storage slot 17 opened on the top of the cutting machine body 1 provides space for the operator to place tools, spare parts or materials to be processed, making it convenient for the operator to access the required items at any time during the work process and improving work efficiency.

[0054] Working principle: First, the operator puts the material to be cut into the cutting machine through the feed port 8 on one side of the main body 1 of the cutting machine. The feed port 8 is convenient for manual feeding of materials, and can also be adapted to external automated feeding equipment to achieve rapid and stable input of materials, providing a material basis for subsequent processing.

[0055] Once the material is pushed into the cutting area, the servo motor 9 mounted on the bottom wall of the main body 1 of the cutting machine starts, driving the drive pulley 10 connected to its output end to rotate at high speed. The double-layer transmission belt 11 sleeved on the outer surface of the drive pulley 10 has good flexibility and elasticity to adapt to the high-speed rotation of the pulley and reduce energy loss, while the outer polyurethane fiber braided layer provides high strength and wear resistance, stably transmitting the rotational power of the drive pulley 10 to the driven pulley 12. The driven pulley 12 drives the transmission shaft 13 connected to the front to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the cutting blade 14 connected to the front of the transmission shaft 13 to rotate at high speed, performing precise and efficient cutting operations on the material entering the working area.

[0056] After the cutting is completed, the miniature telescopic rod 6 on the rear wall of the mounting groove 5 inside the main body 1 of the cutting machine starts to work. According to the preset program or the material conveying requirements monitored in real time, the miniature telescopic rod 6 drives the push plate 7 connected to its output end to move forward, so that the material rolls to the discharge plate 4. The protective pad on the front of the push plate 7 can avoid damage to the surface of the material, while the protrusion on the front of the protective pad can increase the friction with the material, ensuring that even irregularly shaped or smooth materials can move stably to the cutting area under the action of the push plate 7, ensuring the stability and efficiency of material conveying.

[0057] The electric push rods 3, evenly arranged on the top of the discharge trough 2, are precisely controlled to extend and retract according to factors such as material characteristics and processing progress. When it is necessary to speed up the discharge, the electric push rods 3 extend and drive the discharge plate 4 to flip upward through the movable shaft, increasing the discharge opening and allowing the material to be discharged quickly. When it is necessary to slow down the discharge, the electric push rods 3 shorten and the discharge plate 4 flips downward, reducing the discharge opening. The silicone connecting piece 18 between adjacent discharge plates 4 ensures the flexible movement of the discharge plates 4 while preventing material leakage from the gaps between the plates, ensuring the smoothness and controllability of the discharge process, and achieving precise control of the material discharge speed and flow rate.

[0058] During the cutting process, the fixed frame 15 located on the top of the main body 1 of the cutting machine outside the drive shaft 13 provides stable support for the drive shaft 13, preventing it from shaking during high-speed rotation and ensuring the stability of the cutting knife 14, thereby improving the cutting accuracy. At the same time, the protective cover 16 located outside the cutting knife 14 can effectively prevent material splashing and accidental injury from the cutting knife 14, providing a safe working environment for the operators.

[0059] In addition, the storage slot 17 on the top of the main body 1 of the cutting machine can be used by the operator to place tools, spare parts or materials to be processed, so that they can be easily accessed during the work process, further improving work efficiency.
