The feeding impeller is rotatably positioned at the discharge port. A feeding motor is installed inside the main unit, driving the feeding impeller to rotate. This improved feeding mechanism uses a feeding motor to drive the feeding impeller, thus automatically conveying the chilies downwards in the feeding chute. This invention offers high production efficiency and a high degree of automation. Furthermore, the amount of chilies moved by the feeding impeller each time is fixed, achieving quantitative feeding.

[0005] The present invention can be further improved in the following ways.

[0006] The end of the feed impeller shaft is equipped with a driven gear, and the motor shaft of the feed motor is equipped with a drive gear, which meshes with the driven gear.

The first pulley and the second pulley 69 are connected by the transmission belt 611.

[0078] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When this utility model starts working, the user starts the chili slicer, and all the above-mentioned mechanisms start. The user begins to pour chilies into the feeding chute 24. The chilies continuously flow towards the discharge port 23 at the bottom of the feeding chute 24. The feeding motor 12 drives the feeding impeller 21 to rotate, and the rotating feeding impeller 21 pushes the chilies downward. The chilies fall from the discharge port 23 onto the front drop plate 34 of the vibrating conveyor 31. The vibration component 32 drives the vibrating conveyor 31 to vibrate. Under the vibration of the vibrating conveyor 31, the chilies fall into the conveying trough 33 and move downward, gradually moving towards the lower end of the vibrating conveyor 31. A small portion of the chilies will fall horizontally onto the top of multiple conveying troughs 33 and the front drop plate. However, due to the height difference between the front drop plate 34 and the top of the conveying trough 33, and the baffle plate 35, the chilies will first tilt towards one side of the conveying trough. Then, when the chilies move downward, they will fall into the conveying trough 33 after hitting the baffle plate 35. The rear drop plate 37 also plays a similar role. Next, the chili peppers are vibrated and conveyed to the discharge port 36 at the lower end of the conveying trough 33. Then, the first motor 42 drives the first upper rubber roller 47 and the first lower rubber roller 48 to rotate, and the second motor 41 drives the second upper rubber roller 45 and the second lower rubber roller 46 to rotate. The chili peppers flow between the second upper rubber roller 45 and the second upper rubber roller 46. The entire sliding rubber roller assembly 400 will move to one side, and the return spring 415 will be compressed. The guide annular groove 414 of the first upper rubber roller 47 and the guide annular groove 414 of the second upper rubber roller 45 clamp the chili peppers and flow downward. Then, the guide annular groove 414 of the first lower rubber roller 48 and the guide annular groove 414 of the first lower rubber roller 48 also clamp the chili peppers and flow downward. Under the clamping and guiding action of multiple rubber rollers, the chili peppers flow downward in a vertical posture. The sliding rubber roller assembly 400 can automatically adjust its position according to the thickness of the chili pepper. If the diameter of the chili pepper increases, the chili pepper will push the sliding rubber roller assembly 400 to move a certain distance away from the fixed rubber roller assembly 40, and the return spring 415 will be compressed. Conversely, if the diameter of the chili pepper decreases, the return spring 415 will push the sliding rubber roller assembly 400 to move a certain distance closer to the fixed rubber roller assembly 40, so that the sliding rubber roller assembly 400 can cooperate with the fixed rubber roller assembly 40 to clamp the chili pepper.

[0079] The lower end of the chili pepper flows down into the cutter box 51. At this time, the main motor 61 drives the cutter 52 and the scraper 53 to rotate. The blade of the cutter 52 cuts the chili pepper horizontally, and the chili pepper is cut into rings. The chili pepper rings fall into the cutter box 51. The chili pepper rings stuck to the inner wall and bottom of the cutter box 51 are swept to the discharge port 54 by the scraper 53, and then fall from the discharge port 54 into the receiving box 7. Thus, the chili pepper cutting machine of this utility model has completed the chili pepper cutting ring work.

[0080] When the user wants to remove the cutter box 51, the user needs to first stop the chili slicer, and then rotate the clutch handle 67 forward. The clutch handle 67 drives the clutch drive cam 63 and the locking block 65 to rotate downward through the transmission shaft 66. The clutch drive cam 63 no longer pushes the drive gear 62 upward. Then, the locking pin 612 and the locking groove 613 on the locking block 65 are engaged in a concave-convex positioning, and the locking block 65 and the clutch drive cam 63 no longer rotate. The clutch spring 614 drives the drive gear 62 to descend, and the drive gear 62 disengages from the driven gear ring 55. The user can then pull out the cutter box 51. Conversely, when the user puts the cutter box 51 back into the receiving cavity, the user rotates the clutch handle 67 in the opposite direction. The clutch handle 67 drives the clutch drive cam 63 and the locking block 65 to rotate upward through the drive shaft 66. The locking pin 612 disengages from the locking groove 613, the locking spring 68 is compressed, and the clutch drive cam 63 pushes the drive gear 62 upward. The drive gear 62 rises and meshes with the driven gear ring 55. After that, the locking pin 612 is engaged with another locking groove 613 on the locking block 65, and the locking block 65 and the clutch drive cam 63 no longer rotate.

[0081] Example 2, as Figures 31 to 33 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the feeding mechanism in Embodiment 1 automatically conveys chilies without manual feeding, while this embodiment uses manual feeding, eliminating the need for a feeding mechanism and chili arrangement conveying mechanism 3. In this embodiment, a feeding cover 8 replaces the feeding mechanism. The feeding cover 8 is placed on the top of the main unit and is used to convey chilies downwards to the chili guiding mechanism. The bottom surface of the feeding cover 8 has a guiding feeding channel 81 that extends downwards into the main unit. The lower end of the guiding feeding channel 81 extends downwards to directly above the chili guiding mechanism, and the upper end extends to the top surface of the feeding cover 8 to form a feeding inlet. The feeding cover 8 covers the opening of the mounting groove 10, and the chili guiding mechanism is located within the mounting groove 10. The guiding feeding channel 81 extends downwards into the mounting groove 10. When a user wants to cut chili peppers, they only need to start the chili pepper machine of this utility model, and then put the chili peppers into the feed inlet one by one. Under the guidance of the guide feed channel 81, the chili peppers fall onto the chili pepper guide mechanism, and are then clamped and conveyed downwards by the chili pepper guide mechanism. Other working principles are the same as in the embodiment, and will not be described again here.
