Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of brewing technology, specifically an adjustable layered cutting device for lotus flowers. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing refers to the process of using starchy or sugary substances such as grains, fruits, and flowers as raw materials, and converting the fermentable components in the raw materials into alcohol through the fermentation of microorganisms (mainly yeast). After a series of processes such as distillation, aging, and blending, the final product is an alcoholic beverage. Lotus brewing uses lotus flowers (including edible parts such as petals and buds) as the core raw material or an important flavoring ingredient. It combines traditional brewing techniques with modern processing technology. First, the lotus raw material is pre-treated (such as washing, cutting, and extraction). Then, it is mixed with grain base (such as glutinous rice wine, baijiu, etc.) or fermentation substrate. After fermentation, extraction, aging, filtration, and other processes, a beverage with the unique aroma, nutritional components, and appropriate alcohol content of lotus flowers is finally produced.

[0003] Lotus flowers are used as a raw material for winemaking. Due to the significant differences in composition and quality between different layers of lotus petals, the inner petals, which are closer to the pistil, are less affected by external pollution and have a lower content of impurities. They are also rich in flavor substances and nutrients such as flavonoids and volatile oils. When used in winemaking, they can impart a pure and rich lotus aroma to the wine, enhancing its flavor and nutritional value. On the other hand, the outer petals are exposed to the environment for a long time and are prone to accumulating dust, microorganisms, and other impurities. They also have a lower content of flavor substances. If they are mixed into the raw materials, they will affect the purity of the wine and may even introduce off-flavors. At the same time, different brewing requirements (such as the concentration of aroma and the complexity of taste) have different requirements for the quality of the petals. Therefore, when processing the raw materials, it is necessary to selectively cut the petals according to the bud layer to accurately select raw materials that meet the process standards and reduce the loss of ineffective raw materials. The current method of processing lotus petals mostly involves manually breaking them off one by one. This method can only process them from the outside to the inside, and it is easy to tear or damage the petal layers of high-quality raw materials due to the random direction of force. This not only causes problems with the targeted selection of raw materials, but also causes the risk of damage to the integrity of high-quality raw materials and loss of flavor substances. It cannot meet the core requirements of lotus winemaking to eliminate inferior products and retain superior ones and to select materials accurately. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problem of overly simplistic existing technical solutions by providing an adjustable layered cutting device for lotus flowers. This device solves the problem mentioned in the background section that manual peeling of each piece requires layer-by-layer separation to increase strength, and this process can easily damage the high-quality raw materials inside, leading to a loss of their integrity.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: An adjustable layered cutting device for lotus flowers includes a mounting and plugging assembly and a tool carrying assembly, wherein the tool carrying assembly is slidably connected to one side of the outer wall of the mounting and plugging assembly.

[0006] The tool carrier assembly includes a fixed support arm and a sliding tool wall. The sliding tool wall slides on the surface of the fixed support arm. A sliding base is provided at one bottom end of the fixed support arm. A gear is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding base. The sliding base slides on the outer wall of the mounting and plugging assembly. A plurality of positioning grooves for defining the position of the sliding tool wall are provided at the top of the fixed support arm.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the mounting and plugging assembly is a cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the bottom of the cone is coaxially connected to a tubular structure, forming a continuous shape from top to bottom. The tubular structure is used for the insertion of lotus flower stems.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting and plugging assembly is provided with a flower stem fixing member between the inner walls of the upper conical shape. The flower stem fixing members are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the conical shape and are movably connected to the inner wall of the conical shape by springs. One of the flower stem fixing members has a locking ball protrusion fixed at both ends of its outer wall, and the other flower stem fixing member has an open ball groove fixed at both ends of its outer wall that cooperates with the locking ball protrusion. The inner wall of the flower stem fixing member is arranged in a ring array and is covered with a serrated structure along its inner wall.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper conical outer wall of the mounting and plugging assembly is provided with a groove along its circumference for engaging with the sliding base, and a gear ring is fixed to the position of the gear on the conical outer wall for meshing with it.

[0010] Furthermore, the tool carrier assembly is inclined at a 15°–20° angle on the outer wall of the mounting plug assembly, and the tool carrier assembly can slide circumferentially along the conical outer wall of the mounting plug assembly via a sliding base.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding blade wall is provided with a blade at its higher end, the blade is located above the flower handle fixing member, and the sliding blade wall is crescent-shaped, with toothed cutting structures distributed on its concave inner side near the flower handle fixing member.

[0012] Furthermore, one end of the sliding blade wall has a circular slot for installing a positioning block, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the shaft of the positioning block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This device can lock the preset cutting layer by adjusting the extension length of the sliding blade wall. With a 15°-20° tilt angle and precise alignment with the bottom of the flower bud, the crescent-shaped blade can slide and cut circumferentially, separating the outer petals with impurities that do not meet the quality requirements of brewing in one go without operating each petal individually. This directly leaves the high-quality inner raw material, which not only improves the targeting and convenience of raw material screening, but also meets the flexible adaptation needs of different production batches for the peeling layer.

[0014] 2. At the same time, the device effectively avoids the raw material loss and quality risks caused by manual tearing. When manually tearing the petals one by one, the force direction is chaotic, which can easily damage the integrity of the inner petals and affect the quality of the raw materials. However, the device uses the serrated structure of the flower stem fixing part to firmly clamp the flower body. Combined with the smooth transmission of gears and toothed rings, the blade is evenly stressed and cuts along the arc contour of the flower bud. The cut is flat and will not damage the inner petals that need to be retained, thus ensuring the integrity of the high-quality raw materials inside.

When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element.

[0020] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-4 An adjustable layered cutting device for lotus flowers includes an installation and insertion assembly 1 and a tool carrying assembly 2, wherein the tool carrying assembly 2 is slidably connected to one side of the outer wall of the installation and insertion assembly 1.

[0021] The tool carrier assembly 2 includes a fixed support arm 21 and a sliding tool wall 22. The sliding tool wall 22 slides on the surface of the fixed support arm 21. A sliding base 211 is provided at one bottom end of the fixed support arm 21. A gear 2111 is rotatably connected to one side of the sliding base 211. The sliding base 211 slides on the outer wall of the mounting and plugging assembly 1. A plurality of positioning grooves 212 for limiting the position of the sliding tool wall 22 are provided at the top of the fixed support arm 21.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the installation plug-in assembly 1 is a cone shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The bottom of the cone is coaxially connected to a tubular structure, and the whole structure is continuous from top to bottom. The tubular structure is used for the insertion of lotus flower stems.

[0023] The above structure, with its wide top and narrow bottom cone shape, guides the lotus buds to be positioned quickly, while providing a suitable installation space for the flower stem fixing part 11. The tubular structure can support the lotus flower stem and reduce the impact of the flower stem swaying on the cutting trajectory.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flower stem fixing members 11 are provided between the inner walls of the upper conical shape of the mounting plug assembly 1. The flower stem fixing members 11 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the cone and are movably connected to the inner wall of the cone by springs. One of the flower stem fixing members 11 has a locking ball protrusion 111 fixed at both ends of its outer wall, and the other flower stem fixing member 11 has an open ball groove 112 fixed at both ends of its outer wall that cooperates with the locking ball protrusion 111. The inner wall of the flower stem fixing members 11 is arranged in a ring array and is covered with a serrated structure 113.

[0025] Through the above structure, the open ball groove 112 is made of elastic material. The expandable opening of the elastic material makes the assembly and disassembly of the snap ball protrusion 111 more convenient and labor-saving. The elasticity of the spring can provide a continuous clamping pre-tightening force for the flower stem fixing part 11, enhancing the clamping adaptability. The serrated structure 113 of the ring array can increase the contact friction with the branches and trunk, effectively preventing the flower body from shifting or rotating during the cutting process, further improving the clamping reliability.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conical outer wall of the mounting plug-in assembly 1 located at the top has a groove along its circumference for engaging with the sliding base 211, and a toothed ring 12 is fixed to the conical outer wall at the position corresponding to the gear 2111 and meshes with it.

[0027] Through the above structure, the meshing structure of the gear ring 12 and the gear 2111 has the characteristics of smooth transmission and uniform force distribution, which can provide precise guidance for the circumferential sliding of the tool bearing component 2 and can also more accurately control the sliding speed.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the tool carrier assembly 2 is inclined at an angle of 15° to 20° on the outer wall of the mounting plug assembly 1, and the tool carrier assembly 2 can slide circumferentially along the conical outer wall of the mounting plug assembly 1 through the sliding base 211.

[0029] With the above structure, the 15°-20° tilt angle is better than the horizontal angle, allowing the crescent-shaped cutter 221 to engage with the target cutting area at the bottom of the flower bud. At the same time, the tilt angle is also more in line with the operator's operating observation perspective. Whether the operator tilts and grips the mounting and plugging component 1, grips it horizontally, or grips it vertically, it is convenient to observe the cutting progress and petal peeling status in real time, reducing operating errors. The circumferential sliding structure allows the cutter bearing component 2 to actively adapt to the circumferential distribution of the lotus petals, eliminating the need to frequently rotate the mounting and plugging component 1 to adjust the cutting position. Only a single rotation of the lotus is needed after completing half of the cutting, effectively avoiding the tedious operation caused by repeatedly rotating the flower.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the sliding blade wall 22 has a blade 221 at its higher end. The blade 221 is located above the flower handle fixing member 11, and the sliding blade wall 22 is crescent-shaped. Its concave inner side is distributed with toothed cutting structures near the flower handle fixing member 11.

[0031] Through the above structure, the crescent-shaped composite flower bud's outer arc contour ensures a uniform contact area with the petals during the cutting process, while the serrated cutting structure on the concave inner side enhances the cutting sharpness, enabling rapid cutting and peeling of the petals.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the sliding blade wall 22 has a circular slot for installing the positioning block 222, and a spring is sleeved on the outside of the shaft of the positioning block 222.

[0033] Through the above structure, the elastic reset characteristic of the spring is utilized to allow the conical structure at the bottom of the positioning block 222 to automatically adapt to the positioning groove 212 of the fixed support arm 21, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment and locking of the extension length of the sliding blade wall 22. The operation is convenient and the positioning is reliable, thereby controlling the layer depth of petal peeling. It can selectively peel petals that do not meet the requirements of brewing quality, and can flexibly adjust the peeling range according to the raw material usage requirements of the production batch, thus achieving a dual guarantee of raw material utilization and brewing quality. Compared with the traditional manual peeling or fixed-specification blade 221 cutting method, this structure can complete the flexible adjustment of the blade 221 position without complicated operation steps.

[0034] The specific operating procedure of this utility is as follows: When using it, first select a single lotus flower to be processed, insert it along the through channel of the installation plug-in component 1, so that the stem of the lotus flower fits into the tubular structure at the bottom of the installation plug-in component 1.

[0035] Subsequently, when it is necessary to fix the lotus, the operator pushes the two flower stem fixing parts 11 towards the axis, causing the spring to be further stretched. At this time, the engaging ball protrusion 111 and the open ball groove 112 gradually align and engage. After the two flower stem fixing parts 11 are close together, the serrated structure 113 on its inner wall will be embedded and inserted into the connection part between the bottom of the lotus bud and the flower stem or the surface of the flower stem. The engagement of the serrated structure 113 enhances the stability of the contact with the relevant parts of the lotus. After the engaging ball protrusion 111 and the open ball groove 112 are engaged, a mechanical limiting structure can be formed to prevent the two flower stem fixing parts 11 from shifting due to spring rebound or external force contact. The maximum extension length of the spring is limited. The extension does not exceed 1 / 3 of the original length (corresponding to a stretching stroke of 8-12mm). This stretching range is strictly controlled within the elastic deformation limit of the spring to ensure that the spring always maintains stable elastic tension and does not produce permanent deformation. In addition, the core function of the installation plug-in component 1 is to support the flower. In actual operation, the operator will use one hand to support the conical outer wall of the flower handle fixing part 11. This supporting action can not only help stabilize the entire device, but also counteract the slight displacement caused by the slight elastic sway of the spring. Such slight displacement can be completely ignored with the assistance of manual support and will not affect the cutting accuracy of the tool 221 or the stability of the flower body.

[0036] For lotus processing needs, if the outer petals near the stamen do not need to be cut, the operator can achieve precise layered cutting by adjusting the extension position of the cutter 221. First, lift the exposed operating handle of the positioning block 222 on the outer wall of the sliding cutter wall 22. The shaft of the positioning block 222 moves upward, and the conical structure at its bottom, which was originally inserted into the positioning groove 212, simultaneously disengages from the groove. At this time, the sliding cutter wall 22 is released from the positioning restriction and can be pushed upward along the surface of the fixed support arm 21 to adjust the extension length, thereby changing the relative distance between the cutter 221 and the lotus bud.

[0037] Since the shaft of the positioning block 222 is sleeved with a spring, during the process of pushing the sliding blade wall 22, the conical structure at the bottom of the positioning block 222 is always in contact with the surface of the fixed support arm 21 under the elastic action of the spring. When the sliding blade wall 22 moves to the target cutting position and the positioning block 222 is aligned with the positioning groove 212 at the corresponding position, the spring is elastically reset, driving the conical structure to re-insert into the positioning groove 212, thus completing the position locking of the tool 221.

[0038] After the cutter 221 is locked in position, the operator firmly grips the conical component of the mounting plug-in assembly 1 with one hand to keep the whole fixed, and holds the operating handle at the rear end of the fixed support arm 21 with the other hand to apply driving force. With the sliding cooperation between the sliding base 211 and the sliding groove on the conical outer wall of the mounting plug-in assembly 1, the toothed cutting structure of the crescent-shaped cutter 221 gradually contacts the petals of the lotus target cutting layer.

[0039] During this process, the gear 2111 on one side of the sliding base 211 meshes with the gear ring 12 on the outer wall of the mounting plug assembly 1, which can provide guidance and positioning for the circumferential sliding of the sliding base 211, ensuring that the cutter 221 moves smoothly along the preset trajectory, making the cutting action smoother and more uniform, and achieving precise cutting and peeling of petals.

[0040] After completing the half-circle cut, rotate the entire mounting and plugging assembly 1, along with the fixed lotus flower, to an angle that is easy to operate, so that the uncut half-circle of the lotus flower faces the operator. During the rotation, the cutter 221 rotates with the mounting and plugging assembly 1, keeping its relative position with the lotus flower unchanged. Then, continue to push the cutter bearing assembly 2 to slide along the groove, and rotate it half a circle to complete the cutting and peeling of the remaining half-circle of outer petals, and finally complete the layered cutting operation of the entire lotus flower petals.

[0041] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
