Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of winter melon paste production technology, and in particular to a winter melon dicing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Winter melon, belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family and the Cucurbita genus, is an annual, vine-like or trellis-like herbaceous plant. Its stems are covered with yellowish-brown stiff hairs and long soft hairs, and have ridges and grooves. The petioles are stout and covered with coarse stiff hairs and long soft hairs. It is monoecious, with solitary flowers. The fruit is oblong-cylindrical or nearly spherical, large, covered with stiff hairs and a white bloom. The seeds are oval. In addition to being used as a vegetable, winter melon fruit can also be pickled to make various candies. The peel and seeds are used medicinally, having anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and swelling-reducing effects. Before pureeing winter melon, it needs to be cut into chunks.
[0003] The common process for cutting winter melon into chunks involves first splitting the winter melon in half, removing the pulp and seeds, then cutting it into strips, and finally into chunks. However, winter melons are generally quite large, requiring many cuts to facilitate blending and pureeing. Furthermore, it's inconvenient to hold the melon in place, and processing a single winter melon takes a considerable amount of time and effort, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty meeting factory production demands. Therefore, a winter melon chunking machine is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a winter melon dicing machine. By using a fixing component to fix the winter melon, the vertical position of the cutting blade in the adjusting frame is adjusted according to the size of the winter melon so that the winter melon can be divided into strips of equal size, and then diced, thereby improving the quality of the diced winter melon.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] This utility model provides a winter melon dicing machine, including an operating table, a placement frame, and a frame. The top and front of the placement frame are missing and are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table. The frame is connected above the placement frame by multiple support rods at intervals. It also includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a dicing blade, and a slitting blade. An adjustment frame is connected to the front of the placement frame. The slitting blade is movably disposed within the adjustment frame. The first hydraulic cylinder is disposed on the left side of the placement frame and pushes the winter melon horizontally toward the slitting blade. A fixing component is provided on the frame to fix the winter melon. A drive mechanism is provided on the frame to drive the dicing blade to continuously cut up and down.
[0008] Preferably, the fixing component includes a second hydraulic cylinder and an arc plate. The second hydraulic cylinder is vertically disposed at the top of the frame, and the telescopic rod extends into the placement frame.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention proposes a winter melon dicing machine, which includes an operating table 1, a placement frame 2, and a support platform 4. The top and front of the placement frame 2 are missing and are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1. The support platform 4 is connected to the top of the placement frame 2 at intervals by multiple support rods. It also includes a first hydraulic cylinder 3, a dicing blade 6, and a slitting blade 8. An adjusting frame 21 is connected to the front of the placement frame 2. The slitting blade 8 is movably disposed within the adjusting frame 21. The first hydraulic cylinder 3 is disposed on the left side of the placement frame 2 and pushes the winter melon horizontally toward the slitting blade 8. The support platform 4 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the winter melon. The support platform 4 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the dicing blade 6 to continuously cut up and down.
[0024] In this invention, the bottom wall of the placement frame 2 is V-shaped. The cross-cut winter melon is placed on top of it. If the size of the winter melon is large, the cutting blade 8 needs to be moved upward so that the winter melon can be cut into strips of similar size after passing through the cutting blade 8. Then, the cutting blade 6, which moves up and down continuously, cuts these strips of winter melon into pieces.
[0025] In an optional embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a second hydraulic cylinder 51 and an arc plate 52. The second hydraulic cylinder 51 is vertically disposed at the top of the frame 4, and the telescopic rod extends into the placement frame 2. The arc plate 52 is connected directly below the telescopic rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 51 and is connected to it via a spring telescopic rod 53.
[0026] It should be noted that by using the second hydraulic cylinder 51 to press the arc plate 52 down to a certain distance, the inner side of the arc plate 52 comes into contact with the winter melon, and the spring telescopic rod 53 is used to buffer it.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the top end of the adjusting frame 21 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 81, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 81 is threadedly connected to the top end of the slitting blade 8.
[0028] It should be noted that the vertical position of the slitting blade 8 can be adjusted by turning the threaded rod 81.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, a sliding frame is connected to the front side of the adjusting frame 21, and the slicing blade 6 is slidably mounted on the sliding frame and located in front of the slitting blade 8.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a motor 71, a rotating rod 72, a first rotating plate 73, and a second rotating plate 74. The motor 71 is located on the rear side of the slide frame. One end of the rotating rod 72 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 71, and the other end extends to the front side of the slide frame. The first rotating plate 73 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 72 away from the motor 71. One end of the second rotating plate 74 is rotatably connected to the upper front side of the first rotating plate 73, and the other end is rotatably connected to the front side of the cutting blade 6.
[0031] It should be noted that by starting the motor 71, the rotating rod 72 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first rotating plate 73 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating plate 74 to rotate, thereby driving the cutting blade 6 to move up and down continuously to cut the strip-shaped winter melon into pieces.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, a placement opening is provided on the left side of the stand 4, and a guide plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the placement frame 2.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
