[0021] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 A fruit and vegetable cutting and screening device includes a base 1, a conveyor frame 2 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1, and a screening frame 3 fixedly connected to the other side of the top of the base 1; conveyor rollers 5 are rotatably connected to both sides of the inner side of the conveyor frame 2, and several conveyor belts 4 are wound and connected between the two conveyor rollers 5; a drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the conveyor frame 2 by bolts, and one end of one of the two conveyor rollers 5 passes through the side wall of the conveyor frame 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 6 for transmission; a rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the conveyor frame 2, and several cutting blades 7 are sleeved on the rotating rod 8, and all the cutting blades 7 are respectively connected to two adjacent conveyor belts 4; one end of the rotating rod 8 is wound and connected to one end of one of the two conveyor rollers 5 by a belt 10; a screening frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor frame 2, and a sieve plate 12 is elastically connected to the inner side of the screening frame 3; and a vibration motor 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the sieve plate 12 by bolts.

[0023] First, the raw fruits and vegetables to be processed are placed on the conveyor belt 4 inside the conveyor frame 2. Then, the drive motor 6 is started. The motor drives one of the conveyor rollers 5 to rotate through the output shaft, and further transmits the rotation to the rotating rod 8 through the belt 10, thereby driving several cutting blades 7 sleeved on the rotating rod 8 to rotate at high speed. Under the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 4, the fruits and vegetables are steadily conveyed forward and pass through the cutting area between two adjacent conveyor belts 4. At this time, the high-speed rotating cutting blades 7 perform uniform cutting of the fruits and vegetables. After the cutting is completed, the fruits and vegetables continue to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 4 to the screening frame 3 connected to it. At this time, the vibration motor 18, which is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the screening frame 3 by bolts, is started. The vibration motor 18 drives the elastically connected screen plate 12 to generate high-frequency vibration, so that the cut fruits and vegetables are automatically screened on the surface of the screen plate 12 according to size. Smaller fruit and vegetable fragments or particles fall into the collection container below through the screen holes, while larger pieces remain on the screen plate 12 and can be discharged through the discharge port, thereby completing the integrated continuous operation from cutting to screening.

[0024] Furthermore, sliders 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the screen plate 12, and both sliders 13 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the screening frame 3 through the sliding groove 14. The bottom of both sliders 13 is elastically connected to the inner bottom of the two sliding grooves 14 through compression springs 15 respectively. When the vibrating motor 18 drives the screen plate 12 to vibrate at high frequency, the sliders 13 slide synchronously in the sliding groove 14, and the compression springs 15 provide a restoring force, so that the screen plate 12 maintains stable operation during vibration, while enhancing its structural durability and vibration efficiency, thereby improving the stability and screening accuracy of the screening process.

[0025] Furthermore, a collection frame 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the screening frame 3, and a discharge chute 17 is provided on the side of the screening frame 3 near the collection frame 16. Both sides of the screening frame 3 are connected to a door 11 by hinges. After screening, the fruit and vegetable fragments that are screened out can automatically fall into the collection frame 16 through the discharge chute 17 to achieve centralized recycling of materials. The door 11 facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the screen plate 12 and the inside of the screening frame 3, improving the ease of operation and hygiene of the device, and is particularly suitable for food processing environments.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of each of the two conveyor rollers 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 2 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of each of the two conveyor rollers 5 passes through the side of the conveyor frame 2 via a bearing sleeve. This ensures the stability and concentricity of the conveyor rollers 5 during high-speed operation, reduces transmission instability caused by eccentricity or swaying, and improves the continuity and reliability of the conveyor belt 4, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the fruit and vegetable conveying process and the consistency of cutting quality.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveying frame 2 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the rotating rod 8 passes through the side wall of the conveying frame 2 via a bearing sleeve. This allows the rotating rod 8 to have good support and guidance during high-speed rotation, reducing frictional resistance and mechanical wear during operation, extending the service life of the cutting blade 7 assembly, and improving the operational stability and safety performance of the entire cutting system.

[0028] Furthermore, a pulley 9 is fitted onto one end of the rotating rod 8 and one end of one of the two conveying rollers 5, and the two pulleys 9 are connected by a belt 10. While the drive motor 6 drives the conveying roller 5 to rotate, the power is transmitted to the rotating rod 8 through the pulley 9 and the belt 10, thereby driving the cutting blade 7 to rotate synchronously at high speed. This realizes the power linkage control of the slitting mechanism, which has a compact structure and high transmission efficiency. It ensures the coordination of the cutting action and the conveying action, and improves the overall working efficiency and automation level of the device.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] First, the raw fruits and vegetables to be processed are placed on the conveyor belt 4 inside the conveyor frame 2 fixed on one side of the top of the base 1. Then, the drive motor 6 is started, which drives one of the conveyor rollers 5 to rotate through the output shaft. One end of the conveyor roller 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 2 through a rotating shaft, and the other end passes through the side wall of the conveyor frame 2 through a bearing sleeve to ensure smooth operation. At the same time, the conveyor roller 5 transmits power to the rotating rod 8 through the pulley 9 and the wound belt 10. One end of the rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the conveyor frame 2 through a rotating shaft, and the other end also passes through the side wall of the conveyor frame 2 through a bearing sleeve, thereby realizing high-speed drive of the cutting blade 7. During the continuous operation of the conveyor belt 4, the fruits and vegetables are steadily conveyed forward and pass through the cutting area between two adjacent conveyor belts 4. At this time, the high-speed rotating cutting blade 7 performs uniform and continuous cutting of the fruits and vegetables. After cutting, the fruits and vegetables continue to be conveyed by the conveyor belt 4. The material is fed into the screening frame 3 connected to it. At this time, the vibration motor 18 fixedly connected to the bottom of the screening frame 3 is started. The vibration motor 18 drives the elastically connected screen plate 12 to generate high-frequency vibration. The sliders 13 fixedly connected to both sides of the screen plate 12 slide in the slide groove 14 and are provided with a reset force by the compression spring 15 connected to the bottom, so that the screen plate 12 maintains stable operation during vibration, thereby realizing automatic screening of the cut fruits and vegetables according to size. Smaller fragments or particles fall into the collection container below through the screen holes, while larger pieces of fruits and vegetables remain on the screen plate 12 and can be discharged through the discharge port. After screening, the fruit and vegetable fragments that are screened fall into the collection frame 16 fixedly connected to it through the discharge chute 17 opened on one side of the screening frame 3, realizing centralized recycling of materials. At the same time, the screen frame 3 is connected to the door body 11 by hinges on both sides, which facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the screen plate 12 and the inside of the screening frame 3, improving the convenience of operation and hygiene and safety.Through the integrated layout design of the conveyor frame 2 and screening frame 3 set on the base 1, an integrated continuous operation process from fruit and vegetable conveying, cutting to screening is realized. This effectively solves the problem of fruit and vegetable not being screened in time after cutting in the existing technology, and avoids the problems of cumbersome operation, large space occupation and low efficiency caused by the need for additional independent screening equipment, significantly improving the overall processing efficiency. Secondly, the precise matching layout between the conveyor belt 4 and the cutting blade 7 ensures that the fruits and vegetables are cut evenly during the conveying process, ensuring consistent cutting size and meeting the requirements of different cooking scenarios for ingredient specifications. Thirdly, the design of the drive motor 6 driving the rotating rod 8 and the cutting blade 7 synchronously through the pulley 9 and belt 10 is not only compact in structure and has high transmission efficiency, but also easy to maintain, reducing the equipment failure rate and operating costs. In addition, screening... The sieve plate 12 inside frame 3 is elastically connected and driven to vibrate by a vibration motor 18. The guiding and buffering system composed of slider 13, slide groove 14, and compression spring 15 effectively prevents fruit and vegetable fragments from clogging the sieve holes, improving screening efficiency and accuracy, while enhancing the operational stability and structural durability of the sieve plate 12. Furthermore, the combined design of the discharge chute 17 and collection frame 16 on one side of the screening frame 3 realizes the automatic collection function of under-screened materials, improving the automation level of material management. The presence of the door 11 greatly facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance, ensuring hygiene and safety during food processing. Finally, the entire device adopts a modular design, with a reasonable structure and simple operation, suitable for various application scenarios such as home kitchens, restaurant kitchens, and small and medium-sized food processing plants, possessing good practicality and promotional value. In summary, this utility model not only effectively overcomes the technical defects of existing fruit and vegetable cutting devices lacking screening functions, but also comprehensively improves the efficiency, quality, and automation of fruit and vegetable processing through integrated design, precise cutting, and efficient screening, providing more efficient, convenient, and hygienic technical support for modern food processing.
