Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery processing equipment technology, specifically a lotus root quick clamping and positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of lotus root processing, the development of related devices has gradually attracted attention in order to improve peeling efficiency and accuracy.
[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN108848804B), which describes "a lotus root planting device." This utility model achieves the clamping of lotus roots by setting up a clamping block in cooperation with a permanent magnet, and completes the process by combining a push rod and a motor drive structure.
[0004] However, while existing technologies can clamp lotus roots, they still have some shortcomings: the clamping process lacks a rapid response mechanism, which to some extent affects the overall work efficiency and makes it difficult to meet diverse processing needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-clamping and positioning device for lotus roots.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a lotus root quick clamping and positioning device, a workbench body for supporting the entire device; main body components: including a collection trough, which is arranged on the workbench body for collecting the peeled lotus root skins; a rinsing device: including a bracket, which is fixedly arranged above the workbench body; a moving component: including a side plate, which is fixedly arranged on one side of the workbench body; and a clamping component: including a gripper, which is set above the workbench body for clamping the lotus root.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The main components also include: a second collection trough, which is set on the main body of the workbench and is used to collect peeled lotus roots; and a drain outlet, which is threaded to the bottom of the first collection trough and is used to clean up the peeled lotus root skins.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The rinsing device also includes a nozzle, which is fixedly installed below the support and used to rinse the peeled lotus root.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The moving assembly also includes: a motor, which is fixedly mounted above the side plate and is used to drive the clamping device to move; a lead screw, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor and the other end is rotatably connected to the worktable body and is used to drive the clamping device to move along the lead screw; and a slider, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The main body of the workbench has a sliding groove, which is T-shaped to fit the slider.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The clamping assembly also includes: a transmission rod, which is slidably connected through one end of the gripper for clamping the lotus root; a drive linkage, which is fixedly mounted on the transmission rod for driving the transmission rod to move; a second motor, which is fixedly connected to the slider; a support plate, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor; a cylinder, which is fixedly mounted on the support plate for driving the gripper to move; a limit block, which is fixedly mounted on the support plate for limiting the displacement of the drive linkage; and a guide rail, which is provided on the support plate for limiting the displacement of the gripper.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The lower half of the drive linkage has a trapezoidal cross-section that fits the limiting block; the guide rail is shaped to fit the lower surface of the gripper; the workbench body is equipped with an infrared sensor to monitor the position of the lotus root, and the infrared sensor is connected to the control circuits of motor one, motor two, and cylinder.
[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. The infrared sensor monitors the position of the lotus root in real time and triggers a closed-loop control circuit. The motor drives the lead screw and slider structure to achieve a fast response of the clamping component. With the linkage mechanism of the cylinder and transmission rod, the gripper can adaptively clamp lotus roots of different diameters; completely solving the problems of low efficiency and unstable clamping in traditional manual positioning.
[0021] 2. The peeling waste is automatically collected through a stepped design with double collection tanks and sewage outlets. The spray nozzles of the rinsing device spray the peeled lotus root at a 360° angle optimized by hydrodynamics. The precise fit between the T-shaped slide and the guide rail allows the clamping component to move along the screw direction. Combined with the rotation function of the support plate driven by the motor, it enables rapid switching between multiple angle processing scenarios for lotus root. Compared with traditional devices, the processing efficiency is improved and the waste cleaning time is shortened. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Specifically, the rinsing device also includes a nozzle 202, which is fixedly installed below the bracket 201 and is used to rinse the peeled lotus root.
[0036] As a preferred implementation method, nozzle 202 sprays water to rinse the peeled lotus root.
[0037] Example 2:
[0038] Based on Example 1, in order to further improve the processing efficiency of lotus root, a moving component is arranged on the main body of the workbench 1;
[0039] Specifically, the moving components also include: a motor 302, which is fixedly mounted above the side plate 301 and is used to drive the clamping device to move; a lead screw 303, one end of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 302 and the other end is rotatably connected to the worktable body 1, and is used to drive the clamping device to move along the lead screw 303; and a slider 304, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 303.
[0040] In this embodiment, motor 302 drives lead screw 303 to rotate, which in turn drives slider 304 to move along lead screw 303, thereby driving the clamping device to move.
[0041] Specifically, the workbench body 1 has a sliding groove, which is T-shaped to fit the slider 304.
[0042] This configuration ensures the stability of slider 304's movement.
[0043] Example 3:
[0044] Based on Example 2, in order to improve the stability of clamping lotus root, clamping components are arranged on the main body 1 of the workbench;

The controller receives the position signal transmitted by the infrared sensor and controls the operation of motor 302, motor 401, and cylinder 406 according to the position signal, thereby realizing intelligent control.
[0049] In actual use, when peeling lotus root, the lotus root is placed on the gripper 402. An infrared sensor monitors its position, providing a start signal to motor 302, motor 401, and cylinder 406. Motor 401 starts, driving the support plate 405. Cylinder 406 drives the connecting rod 404, which moves via the limit block 407, causing the transmission rod 403 to move, thus achieving stable gripping of the lotus root by the gripper 402. Motor 302 starts, driving the lead screw 303 to rotate, and the T-shaped slider 304 moves along... The sliding groove on the main body of the workbench 1 moves, driving the clamping components to move and transport the lotus root to the corresponding work station; after peeling, the lotus root moves to the area below the nozzle 202, where the nozzle 202 sprays water to rinse the peeled lotus root and remove residual peel and dirt; after rinsing, the lotus root falls into the collection tank 2 102 for collection; the peeling debris falls into the collection tank 1 101 and is periodically cleaned through the drain 103; the components work together to achieve automated clamping, conveying, rinsing and waste collection of the peeled lotus root, improving processing efficiency and cleanliness.
