[0027] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0028] Reference Figure 1-6 This utility model embodiment provides a multi-functional kelp cutting and forming integrated machine, which includes: a workbench 1, a pushing component 5 provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1, a first mounting frame 2 and a second mounting frame 3 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench 1, a cutting component 4 provided on the first mounting frame 2 and the second mounting frame 3, and a pressing component 6 provided on the cutting component 4.
[0029] In the multifunctional kelp cutting and forming integrated machine described in this utility model, the worktable 1 serves as the basic support structure of the entire machine, providing an installation platform for components such as the pushing assembly 5, the first mounting frame 2, and the second mounting frame 3. It supports various operations during the kelp processing. The pushing assembly 5 rotates via the drive column 53, causing the pushing block 55 to extend and retract with the assistance of a spring. Utilizing the friction between the rubber strip 56 and the kelp, the kelp is stably pushed to the cutting station, ensuring that the kelp can continuously and orderly enter the cutting process. The first mounting frame 2 and the second mounting frame 3 are used to fix and install the cutting assembly. 4. Provide stable installation support for the cutting assembly 4 to ensure the smoothness of the cutting process. Driven by the motor 49, the cutting assembly 4 uses the transmission of components such as bevel gear, turntable 47, and connecting rod 414 to make the cutting blade 42 move up and down to complete the cutting of kelp. At the same time, it is linked with the feeding assembly to ensure that the cutting rhythm and feeding speed are matched. The pressing assembly 6 is attached to the cutting blade 42 and moves down with it during cutting. The elastic buffer of the third spring 63 makes the pressing plate 65 stick to and press the kelp to prevent the kelp from shifting during cutting and ensure cutting accuracy and quality.
[0030] The pusher assembly 5 includes a drive column 53, which is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1 via a bracket. A driven rod 54 is fixedly mounted on one end of the drive column 53. A spring chamber 57 is provided on the outer wall of the drive column 53. A second spring 58 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the spring chamber 57. A pusher block 55 is fixedly mounted on one end of the second spring 58. A rubber strip 56 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the pusher block 55. The pusher block 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spring chamber 57.
[0031] In the multifunctional kelp cutting and forming integrated machine described in this utility model, the pushing component 5 is mainly responsible for pushing the kelp to the cutting component 4 for processing. Its working principle is based on the ingenious combination of mechanical transmission and elastic buffer. When the equipment is running, the drive column 53 rotates on the upper surface of the worktable 1 through the bracket. When the drive column 53 rotates, the driven rod 54 fixedly installed at one end of it rotates accordingly. The driven rod 54 can cooperate with other transmission components to transmit power to other components that need to move or serve as a motion indicator component. The core action of pushing the material is completed by the pushing block 55 on the drive column 53. Since the pushing block 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the spring chamber 57, and the second spring 58 in the spring chamber 57... One end is fixed to the inner wall of the chamber, and the other end is connected to the pusher block 55. When the drive column 53 rotates, the pusher block 55 moves along the inner wall of the spring chamber 57 under the action of the second spring 58. The rubber strip 56 fixed on the outer wall of the pusher block 55 first contacts the kelp. The rubber strip 56 has good friction and flexibility. On the one hand, it increases the friction with the surface of the kelp to ensure that the kelp can be moved stably. On the other hand, it will not damage the kelp during the pushing process. As the drive column 53 continues to rotate, the pusher block 55 continuously pushes the kelp towards the cutting component 4 with the assistance of the second spring 58. When the pusher block 55 rotates to a certain position, the cycle continues, and the pusher component 5 realizes the continuous and stable pushing of the kelp to the cutting position.
[0032] The cutting assembly 4 includes a cutting blade 42 and a turntable 47. A concave block 43 is fixedly mounted on the top of one end of the cutting blade 42. A long rod 45 is fixedly mounted on the top of the concave block 43. A fixing bracket 46 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the long rod 45. The fixing bracket 46 is fixedly mounted on one side of the first mounting bracket 2. A first spring 44 is fitted on the outer wall of the long rod 45. The bottom end of the first spring 44 is fixedly mounted on the top of the concave block 43, and the top end of the first spring 44 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixing bracket 46. A connecting plate 412 is fixedly mounted on the top of the other end of the cutting blade 42. A groove is formed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 412. A drive plate 413 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the groove. A connecting rod 414 is fixedly mounted on one side of the drive plate 413. The turntable 47 is rotatably mounted on... On the outer wall of the second mounting bracket 3, the other end of the connecting rod 414 is fixedly installed on the front of the turntable 47. The back of the turntable 47 is fixedly installed with a drive rod 48. The outer wall of the drive rod 48 is fixedly installed with a second bevel gear 411. The interior of the second mounting bracket 3 has a motor compartment. The inner wall of the motor compartment is fixedly installed with a motor 49. The output shaft of the motor 49 is fixedly installed with a first bevel gear 410. The first bevel gear 410 and the second bevel gear 411 are meshed together. The outer walls of the drive rod 48 and the driven rod 54 are fixedly installed with a sprocket 51. The outer wall of the sprocket 51 is provided with a chain belt 52. The side walls of the first mounting bracket 2 and the second mounting bracket 3 are fixedly installed with limit plates 41. The cutting blade 42 is slidably installed between the gaps of the two limit plates 41.
[0033] In the multifunctional kelp cutting and forming integrated machine described in this utility model, the cutting component 4 works by using mechanical transmission and elastic structure to achieve precise cutting of kelp. After the equipment is started, the motor 49 located in the motor compartment of the second mounting frame 3 begins to work. The output shaft of the motor 49 drives the first bevel gear 410 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 410 is meshed with the second bevel gear 411, the second bevel gear 411 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the drive rod 48 fixed to it. The second bevel gear 411 on the outer wall and the drive rod 48 rotate together. When the drive rod 48 rotates, the turntable 47 fixed on its front side also rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the turntable 47, the connecting rod 414 fixed on its front side will perform circular motion. The other end of the connecting rod 414 is connected to the drive plate 413. The drive plate 413 converts the circular motion of the connecting rod 414 into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the cutting blade 42 by rotating the shaft mounted on the inner wall of the groove of the connecting plate 412. When the connecting rod 414 moves upward, it pulls the drive plate 413, causing... Guided by the limiting plate 41, the cutting blade 42 slides upward against the elastic force of the first spring 44. When the connecting rod 414 moves downward, the cutting blade 42 slides downward under its own weight and the elastic force of the first spring 44, cutting the kelp. The first spring 44 is installed on the long rod 45, with its bottom end fixed to the top of the concave block 43 and its top end fixed to the outer wall of the fixing frame 46. It plays a role in buffering and resetting during the cutting process. In addition, the drive rod 48 and the sprocket 51 and chain belt 52 installed on the outer wall of the driven rod 54 form a chain transmission. The moving structure ensures that the movement of the pushing component 5 and the cutting component 4 are synchronized. When the drive rod 48 rotates, it drives the driven rod 54 to rotate through the chain drive, thereby matching the speed at which the pushing component 5 pushes the kelp with the cutting frequency of the cutting component 4. This ensures that the kelp can be cut into the required shape evenly and continuously. Two limiting plates 41 are fixed on the side walls of the first mounting frame 2 and the second mounting frame 3 to limit the movement trajectory of the cutting blade 42, ensuring the stability and cutting accuracy of the cutting blade 42 as it slides up and down, and ensuring the quality of the kelp cutting.
[0034] The pressing assembly 6 includes a side plate 61. One side of the side plate 61 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cutting blade 42. A hollow plate 62 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side plate 61. A vertical plate 64 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the hollow plate 62. A pressing plate 65 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the vertical plate 64. A third spring 63 is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical plate 64. The top of the third spring 63 is fixedly installed at the inner top of the hollow plate 62.
[0035] In the multifunctional kelp cutting and forming integrated machine described in this utility model, the function of the pressing component 6 is to firmly press the kelp during cutting, ensuring a stable and precise cutting process. Its working principle is based on mechanical linkage and elastic buffering. The pressing component 6 is tightly connected to the cutting component 4, and the side plate 61 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cutting blade 42, allowing the pressing component 6 to move synchronously with the cutting blade 42. When the cutting blade 42 reciprocates up and down under the action of components such as the connecting rod 414 and the drive plate 413, the side plate 61 drives the entire pressing component 6 to move together. During the downward movement, the vertical plate 64, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the hollow plate 62, will first contact the kelp. As the cutting blade 42 continues to descend, the pressing plate 65 begins to apply pressure to the kelp. At this point, the third spring 63 installed at the top of the vertical plate 64 plays a crucial role. Its top end is fixed inside the hollow plate 62. When the pressure plate 65 is subjected to the upward reaction force of the kelp, the third spring 63 is compressed, and the pressure is buffered through elastic deformation to avoid excessive pressure that could damage the kelp. At the same time, it ensures that the pressure plate 65 can fit tightly against the kelp surface, firmly pressing the kelp onto the worktable 1. When the cutting blade 42 completes the cutting action and moves upward, the third spring 63 begins to release its elastic potential energy, pushing the vertical plate 64 and the pressure plate 65 to reset upward. Due to the reset action of the third spring 63, the pressure plate 65 can quickly leave the kelp surface without affecting the pushing component 5 to continue pushing the next section of kelp into the cutting station, so that the entire kelp cutting and forming process can be carried out continuously and efficiently.
[0036] Working principle: The motor 49 is started, and its output shaft drives the first bevel gear 410 to rotate. The first bevel gear 410 meshes with the second bevel gear 411, causing the second bevel gear 411 to rotate. The second bevel gear 411 drives the turntable 47 to rotate via the drive rod 48. The turntable 47 drives the drive plate 413 to rotate in a circular motion via the connecting rod 414. The drive plate 413 synchronously drives the connecting plate 412 to move, which in turn drives the cutting blade 42 to move up and down between the two limiting plates 41, completing the cutting of the kelp. As the cutting blade 42 moves upward, it drives the long rod 45 upward via the concave block 43. The concave block 43 also compresses the first spring 44, causing it to compress. Simultaneously, the drive rod 48 drives the driven rod 54 to rotate via the sprocket 51 and chain belt 52. As the driven rod 54 rotates... The drive column 53 rotates, and the pusher block 55 rotates synchronously. The rubber strip on the pusher block 55 comes into contact with the kelp, and the pusher block 55 is squeezed, which in turn squeezes the second spring 58. The elastic force generated by the second spring 58 squeezes the kelp through the pusher block 55. As the pusher block 55 rotates, it pushes the kelp to move. The cutting blade 42 moves downward, which in turn moves the side plate 61 downward. The side plate 61 moves the hollow plate 62 downward, which in turn moves the vertical plate 64 downward. The vertical plate 64 then moves the pressure plate 65 downward, so that the pressure plate 65 comes into contact with the kelp and squeezes it. After being squeezed, the pressure plate 65 squeezes the third spring 63 through the vertical plate 64, causing it to be in a compressed state. The elastic force generated by the third spring 63 presses the kelp through the pressure plate 65 and the vertical plate 64.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
