Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and in particular relates to a cutting knife assembly for removing roots from leafy vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] During the harvesting and processing of leafy vegetables, the roots often need to be removed. Roots not only affect the appearance but can also cause inconvenience and hygiene problems during transportation. Traditional root removal methods rely heavily on manual labor, which is inefficient and prone to human error, leading to inconsistent product quality.

[0003] Since the roots of leafy vegetables may contain soil, pesticide residues and other pollutants, removing the roots can effectively prevent these impurities from affecting the final cleaning and sale. During the cutting process, workers' hands will frequently come into contact with the blades, which can easily cause safety hazards and affect the safety of workers. Therefore, we propose a cutting blade component for removing the roots of leafy vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cutting knife assembly for removing the roots of leafy vegetables. By squeezing the extrusion plate, the telescopic rod and spring are compressed. When the extrusion plate moves, it will drive the limiting block to disengage from the fixed block, thus solving the problem of not being able to ensure the safety of the worker's hands during cutting.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a cutting knife assembly for removing roots from leafy vegetables, including a fixing plate, a fixing column fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate, a cutting knife mechanism provided on the fixing plate, and a collecting mechanism provided on the fixing plate;

[0007] The cutting mechanism includes a second fixed plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of a fixed plate. The second fixed plate has a circular hole inside. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second fixed plate. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame. A fixed block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft. A spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block. A cutter is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block. A foot pedal is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the side of the second fixed plate away from the fixed frame. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the telescopic rod away from the second fixed plate. A spring is fixedly connected to the side of the pressing plate close to the telescopic rod. A limit block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the pressing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two fixed frames, the outer wall of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate, the end of the spring away from the fixed block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate, the fixed shaft is located inside the spring, and there are several telescopic rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the second spring away from the extrusion plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second fixed plate, the telescopic rod is located inside the second spring, and two limiting blocks are provided in total, with the outer wall of the limiting block engaging with the inner wall of the fixed block.

[0010] Furthermore, the collection mechanism includes a fixed plate three fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate, a fixed block two inserted into the inner wall of the fixed plate three, and a collection shell fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block two.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed plate has a sliding groove inside, and the inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to a second limiting block. There are two second limiting blocks in total. The outer wall of the second limiting block is engaged with the inner wall of the second fixed block, and the inner wall of the second limiting block is threaded with a bidirectional threaded rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the end of the spring three away from the limiting block three is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate four, and the sliding shaft is located inside the spring three.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model incorporates a cutting blade. First, one side of the leafy vegetable's leaf is passed through a round hole, where the root is blocked. Then, the operator holds one side of the leafy vegetable with one hand, positioning the root below the cutting blade, while the other hand squeezes the pressing plate. This mechanism achieves hand-foot separation and uses the pressing plate as a safety interlock to ensure that the operator's hands are in a safe position during the cutting action. It also allows for the cutting of the leafy vegetable's root, facilitating subsequent processing of the leafy vegetable.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model is a cutting knife assembly for removing roots from leafy vegetables, including a fixing plate 101, a fixing post 102 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 101, a cutting knife mechanism 2 provided on the fixing plate 101, and a collecting mechanism 3 provided on the fixing plate 101.

[0030] The cutting mechanism 2 includes a second fixed plate 201 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 101. The second fixed plate 201 has a circular hole 202 inside. A fixed frame 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second fixed plate 201, and a fixed shaft 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 203. The circular hole 202 allows the root and stem of the leafy vegetable to be inserted, facilitating subsequent cutting of the root and stem. A fixed block 206 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 204, and a spring 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 206. A cutter 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 206, and a foot pedal 208 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 206. By setting the foot pedal 208, stepping on the foot pedal 208 causes it to move, which in turn causes the fixed block 206 to move. When the fixed block 206 moves, it compresses the first spring 205. A telescopic rod 209 is fixedly connected to the side of the second fixed plate 201 away from the fixed frame 203. The side of the telescopic rod 209 away from the second fixed plate 201 is fixedly connected to... There is a compression plate 210, and a spring 211 is fixedly connected to the side of the compression plate 210 near the telescopic rod 209. A limit block 212 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the compression plate 210. By setting the compression plate 210, the compression plate 210 is compressed, thereby compressing the telescopic rod 209 and the spring 211, and thus causing the compression plate 210 to move. There are two fixing frames 203. The outer wall of the fixing shaft 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 101. The end of the spring 205 away from the fixing block 206 is connected to... The outer wall of the fixing plate 101 is fixedly connected, and the fixing shaft 204 is located inside the spring 205. By setting the spring 205, the fixing block 206 is squeezed, so that the cutter 207 can return to its original position after cutting. Several telescopic rods 209 are provided. The end of the spring 211 away from the pressing plate 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 201. The telescopic rod 209 is located inside the spring 211. Two limiting blocks 212 are provided. The outer wall of the limiting block 212 is engaged with the inner wall of the fixing block 206.

[0031] The collecting mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 301 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed plate 101. A fixed block 302 is inserted into the inner wall of the fixed plate 301. A collecting shell 303 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block 302. A groove 304 is provided inside the fixed plate 101. By setting the collecting shell 303, the cut roots are collected to facilitate subsequent processing of the roots. A limiting block 305 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 304. Two limiting blocks 305 are provided. The outer wall of the limiting block 305 is engaged with the inner wall of the fixed block 302. The inner wall of the limiting block 305 is threaded. A bidirectional threaded rod 306 is provided. By manually rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 306, the limiting block 305 moves within the sliding groove 304, thus moving away from each other. A fixing plate 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 101. A sliding shaft 308 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 307. A limiting block 309 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding shaft 308 away from the fixing plate 307. By setting the limiting block 309, the bidirectional threaded rod 306 is limited, preventing the bidirectional threaded rod 306 from rotating when it is not needed.

[0032] The outer wall of the limiting block 309 is engaged with the inner wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 306. A spring 310 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting block 309 near the sliding shaft 308. The end of the spring 310 away from the limiting block 309 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing plate 4 307. The sliding shaft 308 is located inside the spring 310. By setting the spring 310, the limiting block 309 is squeezed, so that the limiting block 309 can be engaged into the bidirectional threaded rod 306, thus completing the limiting of the bidirectional threaded rod 306.

[0033] One specific application of this embodiment is:

[0034] First, one side of the leafy vegetable leaf is passed through the round hole 202, and its stem is blocked by the round hole 202. Then, the worker holds one side of the leafy vegetable leaf with one hand, so that the stem is below the cutter 207, and then squeezes the squeezing plate 210 with the other hand, thereby compressing the telescopic rod 209 and the second spring 211, which in turn causes the squeezing plate 210 to move. When the squeezing plate 210 moves, it will drive the limiting block 212 to move, thereby causing the limiting block 212 to disengage from the fixing block 206. Then, the worker steps down on the foot pedal 208, so that... The foot pedal 208 moves, causing the fixing block 206 to move. As the fixing block 206 moves, it compresses the spring 205, causing the cutter 207 to move and cut the root and stem of the leafy vegetable. Then, the foot pedal 208 is released. At this point, due to the reaction force of the spring 205, the fixing block 206 is pressed upwards, causing the cutter 207 to move. Then, the pressing plate 210 is released. Due to the reaction force of the spring 211, the pressing plate 210 is pushed, thereby causing the limiting block 212 to move. This causes the limiting block 212 to re-engage with the fixing block 206, limiting the fixing block 206. This mechanism achieves hand-foot separation, using the extrusion plate 210 as a safety interlock to ensure that the operator's hands are in a safe position during the cutting action. It also allows for the cutting of leafy vegetable roots and stems, facilitating subsequent processing. After the leafy vegetable roots and stems are cut, they fall into the collecting shell 303. When the collecting shell 303 is full, the sliding shaft 308 is manually pulled outwards, thereby moving the limiting block 309. As the third positioning block 309 moves, it compresses the third spring 310, causing the third positioning block 309 to move away from the bidirectional threaded rod 306. Then, the bidirectional threaded rod 306 is manually rotated, causing the second positioning block 305 to move in the slide groove 304, thereby moving away from each other and causing the slide groove 304 to move away from the second fixing block 302. Then, the second fixing block 302 can be removed from the fixing plate 301, and then the collection shell 303 can be removed. This mechanism can collect the cut roots and stems uniformly, which is convenient for subsequent processing and utilization of the roots and stems.
