Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehydrated onion processing technology, specifically to a high-efficiency automatic dicing device for dehydrated onions. Background Technology

[0002] In the dehydrated onion processing industry chain, dicing is one of the key processes, and its processing efficiency and dicing quality directly affect the production progress and quality of subsequent products. Currently, there are two main methods for dicing dehydrated onions in the industry: one is traditional manual dicing, where operators use hand-held blades to cut the dehydrated onions. This method is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also prone to uneven onion size due to human error, making it difficult to meet the standardized requirements of large-scale production. Furthermore, manual cutting is inefficient and cannot keep pace with the high production lines of enterprises. The other method uses ordinary dicing equipment. However, most dicing equipment either has non-replaceable blades or is fixed with multiple sets of bolts, making it inconvenient to change blades of different sizes. This cumbersome and time-consuming operation negatively impacts production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency automatic dicing device for dehydrated onions to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly efficient automatic dicing device for dehydrated onions, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency automatic dicing device for dehydrated onions, comprising a base, a support platform and a storage box fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base, a dicing cover fixedly connected to the top of the storage box, an annular pad fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dicing cover, a cutting blade assembly provided on the top of the annular pad, and a locking mechanism for fixing the cutting blade assembly fixedly installed on the outer surface of the dicing cover; A vibratory feeder is fixedly installed on the top of the support platform. The discharge end of the vibratory feeder is directly opposite the top of the dicing hood. A connecting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the vibratory feeder by bolts. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the connecting frame at the position corresponding to the dicing hood. A pressure plate adapted to the dicing hood is fixedly connected to the drive end of the cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a U-shaped frame, both ends of which are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the dicing hood. A transverse plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame along a direction perpendicular to the dicing hood. A locking rod is fixedly connected to one side of the transverse plate corresponding to the dicing hood.

[0006] Furthermore, the U-shaped frame has symmetrical guide grooves on both sides, and a guide rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide groove. A guide slide is slidably connected to the guide rod along the axial direction. One end of the guide slide is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transverse plate. A thrust spring is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod. One end of the thrust spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove, and the other end is in contact with the guide slide.

[0007] Furthermore, a connecting frame is welded to each of the two guide carriages on opposite sides, and a tie rod is fixedly installed between the two connecting frames. The surface of the tie rod is covered with an anti-slip sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of the dicing sleeve is provided with an insertion hole adapted to the locking rod, and the outer surface of the dicing assembly is provided with a locking hole adapted to the locking rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a material collection trough is provided on the top of the base and on the front side corresponding to the storage box.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model achieves automated feeding and precise pressing of dehydrated onions by combining a vibrating feeder with a cylinder-driven pressing plate. The vibrating feeder can transport raw materials at a uniform speed, avoiding the low efficiency and operational risks of manual feeding. The matching design of the pressing plate and the dicing hood ensures that the onions do not leak or are excessively squeezed during the pressing process, effectively improving the uniformity of dicing and the utilization rate of raw materials, and solving the problems of low efficiency of traditional manual dicing and unstable feeding of ordinary equipment.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 A high-efficiency automatic onion dicing device for dehydration includes a base 1, which effectively disperses vibrations during operation and ensures overall stability. Support platforms 2 and storage bins 3 are welded and fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the top of the base 1, respectively. The support platforms 2 are perpendicular to the base 1. The storage bin 3 is a rectangular box structure with an open top, and a dicing hood 4 is fixedly connected to its top. The dicing hood 4 is a rectangular hollow structure with open ends, and a sealing ring is provided at the connection point with the storage bin 3 to prevent leakage of onion diced fragments. The inner wall of the dicing hood 4 is welded and fixedly connected to... An annular pad 5 is attached, with its top surface flush with the inner wall of the dicing hood 4. A cutting assembly 6 is mounted on top of the pad, comprising a rectangular blade holder and stainless steel blades evenly distributed on the holder. The blade spacing can be adjusted as needed. The outer diameter of the blade holder matches the inner diameter of the dicing hood 4, ensuring the cutting assembly 6 can be stably placed on the annular pad 5. Two sets of locking mechanisms 7 are symmetrically fixed to the outer surface of the dicing hood 4 for securing the cutting assembly 6. These locking mechanisms 7 allow for quick fixing and disassembly of the cutting assembly 6, facilitating blade replacement and maintenance. A vibratory feeder 8 is bolted to the top of the support platform 2. The feeding trough of the vibratory feeder 8 is inclined, and its discharge end is directly opposite the top of the dicing hood 4. A connecting frame 9 is bolted to the top of the vibratory feeder 8. A cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 9 at the position corresponding to the dicing hood 4. The cylinder 10 is of model SC63×100. Its drive end is set vertically downward, and a pressure plate 11 adapted to the dicing hood 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end by threads. The pressure plate 11 has a rectangular structure and slides against the inner wall of the dicing hood 4 to ensure that the onions will not leak from the edge during the pressing process.

[0018] The locking mechanism 7 includes a U-shaped frame 71. Both ends of the U-shaped frame 71 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the dicing hood 4 by welding. The opening of the U-shaped frame 71 faces the dicing hood 4. A transverse plate 72 is slidably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped frame 71 in a direction perpendicular to the dicing hood 4. The transverse plate 72 is a rectangular steel plate. A locking rod 73 is fixedly connected to the side of the transverse plate 72 near the dicing hood 4 by welding. The locking rod 73 is a cylindrical structure.

[0019] The U-shaped frame 71 has rectangular guide grooves 74 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The guide grooves 74 are arranged along the sliding direction of the transverse plate 72. A guide rod 75 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the guide groove 74 by welding. The guide rod 75 is arranged parallel to the locking rod 73. A guide slide 76 is slidably connected to the guide rod 75 along the axial direction. The guide slide 76 has an L-shaped structure. A thrust spring 77 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 75. One end of the thrust spring 77 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 74 away from the dicing cover 4, and the other end is in contact with the guide slide 76. Through the elastic force of the thrust spring 77, the guide slide 76 can be pushed to move the transverse plate 72 towards the dicing cover 4, thereby allowing the locking rod 73 to be inserted into the locking hole 13, realizing the locking and fixing of the cutter assembly 6.

[0020] Two guide slides 76 are each welded with an L-shaped connecting frame 78 on one side. A cylindrical pull rod 79 is fixedly installed between the two connecting frames 78. The surface of the pull rod 79 is covered with a rubber anti-slip sleeve. When the operator pulls the pull rod 79, the guide slide 76 and the transverse plate 72 move away from the cutting cover cylinder 4, overcoming the elastic force of the thrust spring 77. This allows the locking rod 73 to be pulled out, releasing the lock on the cutter assembly 6.

[0021] The outer surface of the dicing sleeve 4 is provided with through holes 12 that are compatible with the locking rods 73. The number of through holes 12 corresponds to the number of locking rods 73. The outer surface of the blade holder of the cutter assembly 6 is provided with locking holes 13 that are compatible with the locking rods 73. The locking holes 13 are blind holes and their positions correspond to the through holes 12. When the cutter assembly 6 is placed on the annular pad 5, the through holes 12 and the locking holes 13 are coaxial. The locking rods 73 can pass through the through holes 12 and be inserted into the locking holes 13 in sequence to complete the fixing of the cutter assembly 6.

[0022] A feed inlet 14 is provided on the top of the storage bin 3, corresponding to the position of the dicing hood 4. The diameter of the feed inlet 14 is the same as the inner diameter of the dicing hood 4, ensuring that the diced onions can fall smoothly into the storage bin 3. A rectangular discharge port is provided on the front side of the storage bin 3, and a sealing door 15 is hinged to the position of the discharge port. The sealing door 15 is made of steel plate, and its edge is provided with sealing strips to prevent the diced onions in the storage bin 3 from getting damp or falling into dust. Triangular guide blocks 16 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the storage bin 3 by welding. The inclined surface of the triangular guide blocks 16 faces the discharge port, which can guide the diced onions in the storage bin 3 to gather towards the discharge port and prevent the diced onions from accumulating at the bottom.

[0023] An electric push rod 17 is bolted to the back of the storage box 3. The electric push rod 17 is a DTZ300 model. Its telescopic end is horizontally set and extends into the interior of the storage box 3. A sealing sleeve is provided at the penetration point between the telescopic end and the storage box 3 to prevent leakage of onion pieces. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 is bolted to a push plate 18. The size of the push plate 18 is adapted to the internal cross-section of the storage box 3. The edge of the push plate 18 is provided with a rubber scraper, which can fit against the inner wall of the storage box 3 and the surface of the triangular guide block 16. Driven by the telescopic extension of the electric push rod 17, the push plate 18 can slide along the bottom of the storage box 3 to push out the onion pieces that have gathered at the discharge port.

[0024] A material collection trough 19 is provided on the top of the base 1 and on the front side of the storage box 3. The material collection trough 19 is an open rectangular trough made of stainless steel. The top height of the material collection trough 19 is lower than the bottom height of the discharge port of the storage box 3, so as to ensure that the onion pieces pushed out from the discharge port can fall smoothly into the material collection trough 19, which is convenient for subsequent packaging or transportation operations.

[0025] In use, first select the corresponding cutter assembly 6 according to the required size of the diced onions. The operator pulls the lever 79 of the locking mechanism 7, which drives the guide slide 76 and the transverse plate 72 to move away from the dicing cover 4 against the elastic force of the thrust spring 77, causing the locking rod 73 to retract. Place the cutter assembly 6 on the annular pad 5, ensuring that the locking hole 13 of the cutter assembly 6 is coaxial with the insertion hole 12 of the dicing cover 4. Release the lever 79, and the thrust spring 77 pushes the guide slide 76 and the transverse plate 72 to reset. The locking rod 73 passes through the insertion hole 12 and inserts into the locking hole 13, completing the fixing of the cutter assembly 6. Close the sealing door 15 of the storage box 3, and evenly place the dehydrated onions to be processed into the feeding trough of the vibrating feeder 8. Start the vibrating feeder 8. Under vibration, dehydrated onions are uniformly conveyed along the feeding chute into the dicing cylinder 4. The cylinder 10 is activated, and the driving end of the cylinder 10 pushes the pressing plate 11 downward. The pressing plate 11 presses the dehydrated onions through the cutting assembly 6. The blades of the cutting assembly 6 cut the dehydrated onions into uniform granules. The diced onions fall into the storage box 3 through the feed inlet 14 at the top of the storage box 3. The diced onions in the storage box 3 are guided by the triangular guide block 16 to gather towards the discharge port. When the diced onions in the storage box 3 reach a certain amount, the sealing door 15 is opened, and the electric push rod 17 is activated. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 pushes the push plate 18 towards the discharge port, pushing the diced onions out of the storage box 3. The diced onions fall into the collection trough 19 on the base 1, completing the collection operation.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
