Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of potato slicing technology, and more specifically, relates to a potato slicing device. Background Technology

[0002] Conventional potato processing equipment uses a pipe or ditch structure to feed multiple washed and peeled potatoes, which are then integrated, pushed, and processed. Mechanical cutting is performed during potato conveying or at the potato output point. Due to the thrust, the cut potato slices are also pushed forward.

[0003] Based on the above, the integrated slicing method currently used in slicing equipment reduces quality in order to improve efficiency. During the transportation process, potatoes and potato slices are easily squeezed, causing some potato slices to be damaged, which is not conducive to continuous processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a potato slicing device. This addresses the issue that the integrated slicing method used in the slicing devices mentioned in the background art reduces quality for the sake of efficiency, and that potatoes and potato slices are easily squeezed during transportation, causing damage to some potato slices and hindering continuous processing.

[0005] The purpose and effectiveness of this utility model's potato slicing device are achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] A potato slicing device includes a base. Four sets of conveyor wheels are rotatably arranged on both sides of the top of the base, and conveyor belts are rotatably arranged outside the conveyor wheels on the same side. Conveyors are equidistantly hinged to the outside of the two sets of conveyor belts. Each conveyor has a prismatic slide rod slidably arranged in it. Push plates and trays are respectively fixed at both ends of the prismatic slide rods. Positioning pins for loading potatoes are fixedly arranged in the middle of the outside of each tray. A top frame is fixedly arranged on the top of the base with a bracket. A slicing frame is fixedly arranged in the middle of the top frame with a bracket. The slicing frame has an L-shaped turning structure around its perimeter. Cutting pistons and slicing pistons are respectively fixedly arranged outside the turning structure. The cutting pistons and slicing pistons are staggered. A longitudinal blade is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the cutting piston, and an integrated cutting plate is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the slicing piston.

[0007] Furthermore, a feed cylinder is fixedly installed on the top side of one side of the base, and a lifting plate is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the feed cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a spring is fitted around the prismatic slide bar near the push plate; the tray is engaged with the conveyor surface by the spring.

[0009] Furthermore, an oil tank is fixedly installed inside the top of the top frame, and an adjustment pipe is installed on the top of the oil tank; a hydraulic oil pump is fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil tank, and a three-way valve is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic oil pump to connect two sets of solenoid valves.

[0010] Furthermore, the cutting piston and the slicing piston are respectively connected to different solenoid valves via oil pipes.

[0011] Furthermore, two sets of guide covers are fixedly installed on the lower part of the inner walls on both sides of the slicing rack, and the integrated slicing rack is slidably connected to the guide cover on the same side.

[0012] Furthermore, the longitudinal blade and the middle of the integrated cutting strip can fit snugly against the outside of the positioning pin.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This invention uses a conveyor for transporting potatoes, providing an anti-crushing conveying function that will not damage the potato slices. After the conveyor moves to the bottom of the slicing rack, the feed cylinder is activated to drive the lifting plate to rise. The lifting plate contacts the push plate, which lifts the prismatic slide bar and the tray upward, moving the potato into the slicing rack. The longitudinal blades on both sides are combined to cut the potato in the middle. The integrated cutting strips on both sides are combined to slice the potato, resulting in good automation.

[0015] This invention features a dual cutting function, with the longitudinal blade and integrated cutting strip controlled separately. These can be controlled individually as needed to slice the potato individually or separate the slices from the middle, thus facilitating the cutting of whole potato slices or semi-circular potato slices according to processing requirements.

[0016] This utility model is equipped with a guide cover, which provides protection and blocking functions. The guide cover can keep the integrated cutting row parallel and will be pulled into the guide cover when the integrated cutting row is reset. Cut potato slices may be trapped in the gaps of the integrated cutting row. The guide cover can block the potato slices, prevent the potato slices from falling off the potato, maintain the shape of the potato, and facilitate the subsequent harvesting of the potato.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:

[0027] This utility model provides a potato slicing device, including a base 1. Four sets of conveyor wheels 101 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the top of the base 1, and a conveyor belt 102 is rotatably arranged outside the conveyor wheels 101 on the same side. Conveyors 2 are equidistantly hinged to the outside of the two sets of conveyor belts 102. A rhomboid slide rod 202 is slidably arranged in each conveyor 2. A push plate 201 and a tray 203 are respectively fixed at both ends of the rhomboid slide rod 202. A positioning pin 204 for mounting potatoes is fixedly arranged in the middle of the outside of each tray 203. A top frame 3 is fixedly arranged on the top of the base 1 with a bracket. A slicing frame 4 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the top frame 3 with a bracket. The slicing frame 4 has an L-shaped turning structure on all four sides. A cutting piston 401 and a slicing piston 403 are fixedly arranged outside the turning structure. The cutting piston 401 and the slicing piston 403 are staggered. A longitudinal blade 402 is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the cutting piston 401, and an integrated cutting plate 404 is fixedly arranged at the telescopic end of the slicing piston 403.

[0028] Among them, a feed cylinder 103 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the base 1, and a lifting plate 104 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the feed cylinder 103.

[0029] Among them, the prismatic slide bar 202 is fitted with a spring on its outside near the push plate 201; the tray 203 is engaged with the surface of the conveyor 2 by the spring.

[0030] Among them, an oil tank 301 is fixedly installed inside the top of the top frame 3, and an adjustment pipe is installed on the top of the oil tank 301; a hydraulic oil pump 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the oil tank 301, and two sets of solenoid valves 6 are connected to the bottom of the hydraulic oil pump 5 via a three-way valve.

[0031] Among them, the block-cutting piston 401 and the slice-cutting piston 403 are respectively connected to different solenoid valves 6 via oil pipes.

[0032] Two sets of guide covers 405 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the inner walls on both sides of the slicing rack 4, and the integrated cutting rack 404 is slidably connected to the guide cover 405 on the same side.

[0033] The longitudinal blade 402 and the integrated cutting strip 404 are both able to fit snugly against the outside of the positioning pin 204.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, potatoes are inserted on the top of positioning pins 204. A servo motor controls the conveyor wheel 101 to drive the conveyor belt 102 to rotate, thereby feeding the conveyor 2 at equal intervals. After the conveyor 2 moves to the bottom of the slicing rack 4, the feeding cylinder 103 is activated to drive the lifting plate 104 to rise. The lifting plate 104 contacts the push plate 201 to lift the prismatic slide bar 202 and the tray 203 upwards, moving the potatoes into the slicing rack 4.

[0035] Open the solenoid valve 6 connected to the cutting piston 401, and use the hydraulic oil pump 5 to input the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 301 into the cutting piston 401. Combine the two longitudinal blades 402 on both sides to cut the potato in the middle.

[0036] Open the solenoid valve 6 connected to the slicing piston 403, and use the hydraulic oil pump 5 to input the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 301 into the slicing piston 403, and merge the two integrated cutting rows 404 to slice the potato.

[0037] Since the longitudinal blade 402 does not penetrate the potato, there is a gap between the integrated cutting strip 404 and the blade of the longitudinal blade 402, which will not completely separate the potato.

[0038] After resetting the feed cylinder 103, the potato is lowered, and the feed conveyor 2 is fed again to remove the cut potato and process new potatoes. The potatoes can be separated by gently rubbing them by hand.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Based on Example 1, the longitudinal blade 402 and the integrated cutting strip 404 are controlled separately and can be controlled individually as needed to perform individual slicing or slicing and separating from the middle;

[0041] When the integrated cutting board 404 is reset, it is pulled into the guide cover 405. Cut potato slices may be trapped in the gaps of the integrated cutting board 404. The guide cover 405 can block the potato slices, prevent them from falling off the potatoes, maintain the shape of the potatoes, and facilitate subsequent potato harvesting.

[0042] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0043] In this utility model, when in use, potatoes are inserted on the top of the positioning pin 204, and a servo motor is set to control the conveyor wheel 101 to drive the conveyor belt 102 to rotate, thereby feeding the conveyor 2 at equal intervals.

[0044] After the conveyor 2 moves below the slicing rack 4, the feed cylinder 103 is activated to drive the lifting plate 104 to rise. The lifting plate 104 contacts the push plate 201 and lifts the prismatic slide bar 202 and the tray 203 upwards, moving the potato into the slicing rack 4.

[0045] Open the solenoid valve 6 connected to the cutting piston 401, and use the hydraulic oil pump 5 to input the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 301 into the cutting piston 401. Combine the two longitudinal blades 402 to cut the potato in the middle. Open the solenoid valve 6 connected to the slicing piston 403, and use the hydraulic oil pump 5 to input the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 301 into the slicing piston 403. Combine the two integrated cutting rows 404 to slice the potato. Since the longitudinal blades 402 do not penetrate the potato, there is a gap between the integrated cutting rows 404 and the blades of the longitudinal blades 402, so the potato will not be completely separated.

[0046] After resetting the feed cylinder 103, the potato is lowered, and the feed conveyor 2 is fed again to remove the cut potato and process new potatoes. The potatoes can be separated by gently rubbing them by hand after removal.

[0047] When the integrated cutting board 404 is reset, it is pulled into the guide cover 405. Cut potato slices may be trapped in the gaps of the integrated cutting board 404. The guide cover 405 can block the potato slices, prevent them from falling off the potatoes, maintain the shape of the potatoes, and facilitate subsequent potato harvesting.
