Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable product processing technology, and in particular to a cutting device for processing dehydrated vegetable products on a production line. Background Technology

[0002] The production line for dehydrated vegetable processing uses fresh vegetables as raw materials. After washing, cutting, blanching and enzyme inactivation, the moisture is removed by hot air drying or freeze drying technology, while retaining nutrients and color. The entire process is automated to control temperature and time, which facilitates storage and transportation. It is widely used in the fields of convenience foods or condiments.

[0003] Cutting devices can cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure a consistent rate of moisture evaporation during the drying process. Therefore, cutting devices are necessary. However, traditional vegetable processing cutting devices tend to scatter the cut pieces around the vegetables during the cutting process. These splattered vegetable fragments and small pieces are difficult to collect, especially when processing leafy or root vegetables that are easily broken. These splattered pieces cannot be used in subsequent processing stages, directly leading to raw material waste. In large-scale production, the long-term accumulated losses will significantly increase the company's food procurement costs and reduce profit margins. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a cutting device for processing dehydrated vegetable products in a production line, including a workbench 1, a driving component 2 on one side of the workbench 1, a transmission component 3 on one side of the driving component 2, a placement box 4 on one side of the transmission component 3, and the number of placement boxes 4 is set to multiple sets. A splash-proof component 5 is provided on the top of the placement box 4.

[0029] The workbench 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure of the device, providing an installation benchmark and stable support for the drive assembly 2, transmission assembly 3, and placement box 4, ensuring the stability of the overall structure during the cutting operation. The placement box 4 is a container for loading and conveying vegetables to be cut. Multiple designs can realize the classified loading of different types of vegetables. After the bottom is fixed to the conveyor belt 32, it moves synchronously with the conveyor belt 32 to transport the vegetables to the cutting area. After cutting, it is moved to the unloading position.

[0030] The splash-proof assembly 5 includes a surrounding panel 51 fixed to the top of the placement box 4, a top plate 52 fixed to the top of the surrounding panel 51, and a partition 53 fixed to the inner wall of the placement box 4. The number of surrounding panels 51, top plate 52 and partition 53 are all set in multiple groups.

[0031] The surrounding panel 51 is set along the top edge of the placement box 4 to form a protective barrier around the perimeter, blocking the vegetable fragments that fly horizontally during cutting and storing the fragments inside the placement box 4. The top plate 52 covers the top of the surrounding panel 51, forming a three-dimensional space with the surrounding panel 51 to block the vegetable fragments that fly upward, while reserving a movement channel for the cutter 15. The partition 53 is vertically fixed to the inner wall of the placement box 4, dividing the interior of the placement box 4 into multiple independent small chambers. Two portions of vegetables can be loaded in the same placement box 4, avoiding the mixing of fragments from different chambers during cutting and improving the efficiency of sorting and processing.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0034] Specifically, the drive assembly 2 includes a motor 21 fixed to the inner wall of the worktable 1, and a pulley set 22 is provided at the output end of the motor 21.

[0035] The motor 21 drives the pulley assembly 22 to rotate through its output end, providing continuous power for the vegetable conveying process. The pulley assembly 22 connects the motor 21 and the roller 31. Through the friction transmission between the belt and the pulley, the power of the motor 21 is smoothly transmitted to the roller 31, enabling the roller 31 to rotate. In order to improve the load-bearing capacity of the belt drive, the wrap angle cannot be too small. Generally, the wrap angle α is required to be ≥120°, and in some cases, α is even required to be ≥150°. This is because a larger wrap angle can provide greater friction, thereby enhancing the stability and efficiency of the transmission. This technology is common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated on here.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission assembly 3 includes a roller 31 disposed inside the pulley assembly 22, a conveyor belt 32 is connected to the outer side of the roller 31, and the outer side of the conveyor belt 32 is fixed to the bottom of the placement box 4.

[0037] The roller 31 rotates under the drive of the pulley group 22, and drives the conveyor belt 32 to move through the friction with the conveyor belt 32, thereby realizing the conveying of the placement box 4. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 32 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement box 4, and drives the placement box 4 to move horizontally as the roller 31 rotates.

[0038] Specifically, a positioning plate 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the workbench 1 by bolts, and a connecting plate 7 is fixed to the top of the positioning plate 6.

[0039] The positioning plate 6 provides an installation position for the connecting plate 7, which is used to fix multiple sets of fixing blocks 8 and serves as a support point at the bottom of the cutting structure.

[0040] Specifically, the top of the connecting plate 7 is fixed with multiple sets of fixing blocks 8, and the number of fixing blocks 8 is set to four. The four sets of fixing blocks 8 are symmetrically designed at the center line of the connecting plate 7. The top of the fixing blocks 8 is fixed with cylinders 9, and the number of cylinders 9 is set to four.

[0041] The fixing block 8 is the mounting and fixing component of the cylinder 9. The four sets are symmetrically distributed around the center line of the connecting plate 7. They can evenly bear the reaction force generated when the cylinder 9 extends and retracts, prevent the cylinder 9 from deviating, and ensure that the cutter 15 rises and falls vertically. The cylinder 9 drives the cutter 15 to move up and down reciprocally through the extension and retraction of the piston rod. The four sets of cylinders 9 extend and retract synchronously, which can ensure that the mounting plate 11 rises and falls horizontally and avoid the cutter 15 from cutting at an angle.

[0042] Specifically, the piston rod of cylinder 9 is fixed with a connecting block 10, a mounting plate 11 is fixed on one side of the connecting block 10, a mounting post 12 is fixed on the bottom of the mounting plate 11, and a connecting disc 13 is fixed on one end of the mounting post 12.

[0043] Connecting block 10 is the connecting hub between cylinder 9 and mounting plate 11. One end is fixed to the end of piston rod of cylinder 9, and the other end is connected to mounting plate 11, smoothly transmitting the linear power of cylinder 9 to mounting plate 11. Mounting plate 11 is used to fix mounting column 12, which is used to connect with connecting plate 13. Connecting plate 13 is a quick-change interface for cutter 15, and is detachably connected to connecting plate 14 by bolts. When it is necessary to replace cutter 15 of different specifications, simply disassemble connecting plate 13, improving the convenience of equipment maintenance. The four sets of cylinders 9 are synchronously driven by PLC controller, and the synchronous extension and retraction are achieved by using high-speed pulse signal control of solenoid valve group. Displacement sensors provide real-time feedback to each cylinder. Position deviation is dynamically adjusted by a PID algorithm to ensure synchronization error ≤0.1mm. It should be noted that cylinder 9 is used in conjunction with an air compressor, air tank, filter pressure reducing valve, directional control valve and flow control valve. During use, the air compressor compresses ambient air to the set pressure and stores it in the air tank. The filter pressure reducing valve further purifies the air and stabilizes the pressure, and delivers it to the control valve through the air pipe. The directional control valve switches the airflow channel according to the electrical signal to determine the extension and retraction direction of cylinder 9. The flow control valve adjusts the airflow speed and controls the movement speed of cylinder 9. Compressed air enters the rod chamber or rodless chamber of cylinder 9, pushing the piston to move. The piston drives the piston rod to output linear reciprocating motion.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom of the connecting plate 13 is fixed with a connecting plate 14 by bolts, and the bottom of the connecting plate 14 is fixed with multiple sets of cutters 15, which are arranged in an array.

[0045] The connecting plate 14 is used to install and fix multiple sets of cutters 15. The cutters 15 are made of SKH-9 high-speed steel and are vacuum quenched to achieve a hardness of HRC62±1, ensuring a cutting life of ≥500,000 times. The array design, combined with the high-frequency extension and retraction of the cylinder 9, can quickly complete the vegetable cutting and greatly improve the cutting efficiency.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0048] Specifically, the inner wall of the workbench 1 is fixed with an inclined plate 16 for limiting the movement of vegetables during transport.

[0049] The inclined plate 16 has an inclined surface that can guide vegetables to fall into the collection box 17 during the conveying process.

[0050] Specifically, a collection box 17 for storing the cut vegetables is fixed on one side of the workbench 1.

[0051] The collection box 17 is a centralized storage structure for the cut finished products. It is located below the end of the conveyor belt 32. When the placement box 4, which is loaded with cut vegetables, moves to this location, the vegetable scraps can be easily dumped, thus achieving the separation and collection of the finished products from the placement box 4.

[0052] Specifically, the inner wall of the workbench 1 is equipped with a storage box 18 that facilitates the collection of vegetables that protrude from the connecting plate 7, and both the storage box 18 and the collection frame 17 have handles fixed on one side.

[0053] The storage box 18 is used to collect vegetable scraps that leak out from the gap between the placement box 4 and the cutter 15 during the cutting process, reducing raw material waste.

[0054] In use, first, place the vegetables to be cut into the independent small chambers separated by partitions 53 in the placement box 4. Then, turn on the motor 21 in the drive assembly 2. The output end of the motor 21 drives the pulley group 22 to rotate. The pulley group 22 transmits power to the roller 31 of the transmission assembly 3, driving the roller 31 to rotate. The roller 31 drives the conveyor belt 32 to rotate in a cycle through friction. The placement box 4, which is fixed to the bottom of the conveyor belt 32, moves synchronously with the conveyor belt 32 and is transported to the cutting area. The placement box 4 moves forward under the drive of the conveyor belt 32 and moves to below the cutter 15. At this time, the motor 21 stops running, and the piston rods of the four sets of cylinders 9 extend and retract downwards, driving the mounting plate 11 and mounting column through the connecting block 10. 12. The connecting plate 13 and the connecting plate 14 descend synchronously. The cutter 15 at the bottom of the connecting plate 14 passes through the reserved channel of the top plate 52 of the anti-splash component 5 and quickly cuts the vegetables in the placement box 4. During cutting, the surrounding plate 51 and the top plate 52 form a three-dimensional protective space, which firmly confines the vegetable fragments in the placement box 4 to prevent splashing. After cutting, the piston rod of the cylinder 9 retracts upward, driving the cutter 15 to reset. The motor 21 restarts, and the conveyor belt 32 drives the placement box 4 to the end. The operator pours the cut finished product in the box into the collection frame 17 for storage. When the placement box 4 moves to below the conveyor belt 32, the remaining vegetables will be recovered from the storage box 18 below the connecting plate 7, thus completing the cutting.

[0055] 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.
