[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1 As an embodiment of the present invention, a lotus root slice thickness adjustment device is provided, comprising: a cutting mechanism 100, a pushing mechanism 200, and a thickness adjustment mechanism 300.

[0036] The cutting mechanism 100 includes a cutting plate 101, a cutting blade 102 arranged parallel above the cutting plate 101, and a driving assembly 103 that drives the cutting blade 102 to reciprocate in the vertical direction; the pushing mechanism 200 consists of an annular conveyor belt 201 and multiple pushing units 202 uniformly fixed to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 207; the thickness adjustment mechanism 300 includes a horizontally arranged thickness limiting plate 301 and two symmetrically arranged screws 302. One end of the screws 302 is rotatably connected to the cutting plate 101, the screws 302 pass through the thickness limiting plate 301 and are threadedly connected to the thickness limiting plate 301, and the axis of the screws 302 is perpendicular to the direction of movement of the cutting blade 102.

[0037] In use, first rotate the screw 302 according to the desired thickness of the lotus root slices. Since the screw 302 is threadedly connected to the thickness limiting plate 301, the thickness limiting plate 301 will move along the screw 302, thereby adjusting the distance between the thickness limiting plate 301 and the cutting plate 101. After the thickness adjustment is completed, place the lotus root on the pushing unit 202 and start the device. The drive assembly 103 drives the cutting blade 102 to move up and down reciprocatingly, while the pushing mechanism 200 drives the lotus root to the cutting position. When the lotus root reaches the cutting area, the cutting blade 102 slices it.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the driving component 103 includes linear guide rails 104 symmetrically fixed on both sides of the cutting plate 101. The cutting blade 102 has sliders 105 on both sides that cooperate with the linear guide rails 104. A truss 106 is fixedly connected to the top between the two linear guide rails 104. A rotary motor 107 is fixedly installed on the truss 106. A turntable 108 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 107. An eccentric shaft 109 is fixedly connected to the turntable 108. A connecting rod 110 is rotatably connected between the eccentric shaft 109 and the cutting blade 102.

[0040] Furthermore, the annular conveyor belt 201 includes a support frame 203, two conveyor rollers 204 symmetrically arranged on the support frame 203, and a drive motor 205 fixedly installed on the support frame 203. A connecting shaft 206 is symmetrically rotatably connected to the support frame 203. The two conveyor rollers 204 are respectively sleeved on the two connecting shafts 206. A conveyor belt 207 is driven between the two conveyor rollers 204. The output end of the drive motor 205 is drivenly connected to any one of the conveyor rollers 204. The cutting plate 101 is fixedly installed on the support frame 203 and extends into the interior of the conveyor belt 207. The working surface of the cutting plate 101 slides against the inner surface of the conveyor belt 207.

[0041] During the slicing operation, the rotary motor 107 is started, which drives the turntable 108 to rotate. The eccentric shaft 109 on the turntable 108 then performs a circular motion. The circular motion of the eccentric shaft 109 is converted into the reciprocating motion of the cutting blade 102 along the linear guide rail 104 through the connecting rod 110, ensuring the stability of the cutting blade 102's movement. At the same time, the drive motor 205 is started, which drives the conveyor roller 204 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 207 to circulate. The conveyor belt 207 moves the lotus root placed on the pushing unit 202 to above the cutting plate 101, where it works with the cutting blade 102 to complete the slicing operation.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the pushing unit 202 includes several distributing hoppers 208. The distributing hoppers 208 are fixedly disposed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 207. An isolation groove 209 is provided on the side of the distributing hopper 208 away from the conveyor belt 207. The isolation groove 209 is used to place lotus roots. A sliding rod assembly 210 is provided on the distributing hopper 208.

[0044] Specifically, the slide bar assembly 210 includes a sliding sleeve 211 fixedly installed on the distribution hopper 208 and a trigger plate 212 fixedly installed on the support frame 203. A push rod 213 slides through the inside of the sliding sleeve 211. The push rod 213 is parallel to the axis of the screw 302. One end of the push rod 213 is located in the isolation groove 209. The trigger plate 212 and the sliding sleeve 211 are both located on the side of the conveyor belt 207 away from the cutting plate 101. The trigger plate 212 is obliquely set and gradually approaches the conveyor belt 207 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 207. The trigger plate 212 is located in the moving path of the push rod 213.

[0045] Furthermore, a spring seat 214 is fixedly connected to one end of the push rod 213 near the trigger plate 212, and a return spring 215 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push rod 213. The two ends of the return spring 215 are respectively in contact with the spring seat 214 and the sliding sleeve 211.

[0046] Furthermore, a roller 216 is mounted on the spring seat 214, which can compress the return spring 215 when the trigger plate 212 contacts the roller 216.

[0047] Furthermore, a pressing head 217 is slidably sleeved on one end of the push rod 213 located in the isolation groove 209. A buffer spring 218 is provided inside the pressing head 217. The two ends of the buffer spring 218 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the pressing head 217 and the end of the push rod 213. The pressing end of the pressing head 217 is covered with a buffer layer 219 made of silicone material.

[0048] During feeding, lotus roots are placed in the isolation groove 209 of the feeding hopper 208. After starting the equipment, the conveyor belt 207 drives the feeding hopper 208 to move. When the feeding hopper 208 moves to the position of the trigger plate 212, the roller 216 on the push rod 213 contacts the trigger plate 212. As the feeding hopper 208 continues to move, the trigger plate 212 pushes the roller 216, compressing the return spring 215, causing the push rod 213 to move into the isolation groove 209. The extrusion head 217 at the end of the push rod 213 pushes the lotus root towards the cutting plate 101. The buffer spring 218 and the silicone buffer layer 219 inside the extrusion head 217 prevent damage to the lotus root. When the feeding hopper 208 leaves the trigger plate 212, the return spring 215 pushes the push rod 213 back to its original position, waiting for the next feeding.

[0049] This system enables simultaneous feeding and automatic pushing of multiple lotus roots, improving slicing efficiency. The design of the buffer spring 218 and silicone buffer layer 219 in the slide assembly 210 effectively protects the lotus roots, preventing damage during the pushing process and improving product quality.

[0050] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
