Description

A potato cutting device

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing machinery, in particular to a potato cutting device.

Background Art

Potatoes, also known as potatoes, can be cooked in many ways. Cutting potatoes into strips to make French fries is one of the most classic and commonly used methods. However, cutting potato strips is indeed a time-consuming and laborious chore.

Therefore, the company purchased a batch of equipment as shown in Figure 1 for potato processing to cut potatoes into strips. The equipment includes a base 1, on which a blade 3 is arranged, and a push plate assembly 4 is slidably connected to the support frame above the base 1, and the push plate assembly 4 is hinged with a linkage rod 5; during specific operation, the operator places the potatoes on the base 1, and then drives the push plate assembly 4 downward through the linkage rod 5 to cut the potatoes into strips.

However, the device needs to cut potatoes twice when processing them. During the first cut, the operator needs to catch the potato pieces under the base with his hands. After working for a long time, the labor intensity of the operator is high and mistakes are prone to occur, causing the potato pieces to scatter on the workbench, affecting the processing efficiency. If new equipment is purchased, the cost will be too high and the existing equipment will be idle. Therefore, the applicant has made improvements to the technical problems of the existing equipment.

Utility Model Content

The utility model aims to provide a potato strip cutting device to solve the technical problems of high labor intensity and low processing efficiency of operators of the existing potato strip cutting equipment in the background technology.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a potato strip cutting device, comprising a receiving cylinder arranged below a base, a slide rail is connected to the base below through a bracket, and the receiving cylinder is slidably connected to the slide rail; a pressure plate is slidably connected inside the receiving cylinder, a plurality of sliding blocks are evenly arranged on the pressure plate along the circumference, and a slide groove for the movement of the sliding blocks is opened on the inner wall of the receiving cylinder; a push plate for pushing the receiving cylinder to move is provided at one end of the slide rail, and a push rod is connected to one side of the push plate.

The principle of this scheme is: in actual application, before the first cutting of potatoes, the receiving tube is placed under the base, and the receiving tube is located directly under the potatoes, and then the linkage rod drives the push plate assembly to move downward to apply force to the potatoes, so that the potatoes are cut by the blades on the base, and the cut potato pieces all fall onto the pressing plate in the receiving tube, and then the operator pushes the receiving tube along the slide rail to the outside of the base through the push rod, and then removes the receiving tube and turns it upside down on the base, and fixes the potato pieces in the receiving tube on the blade by pressing the pressing plate downward, and then cuts them into strips for the second time.

Beneficial effects:

1. In actual application, the utility model further provides a receiving tube under the base for collecting the potato pieces formed by the first cutting, so that the operator does not need to use his hands to catch the potato pieces, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator and effectively avoiding the situation in which the potato pieces are scattered when the operator makes a mistake in collecting the potato pieces by hand, thereby increasing the redundant workload, and further ensuring the processing efficiency; the utility model also provides a pressing plate sliding in the receiving tube, through which the potato pieces are pressed down to be fixed on the blade, and the design of the pressing plate avoids the operator's hands from directly contacting the potato pieces and being stained with starch, which causes inconvenience in operation and affects the operator's force application; at the same time, since the receiving tube is used instead of the operator's barehanded collection of potato pieces, the operator can further adjust his posture to avoid the operator holding the linkage rod with one hand upward and placing the other hand downward under the base, which causes the body to tilt and increases the difficulty of force application, and a push rod is provided in the present solution to push the receiving tube to slide, so that the operator can remove the receiving tube more conveniently.

2. The existing potato strip cutting equipment is usually fixedly installed on a workbench, and then a slide connected to the cleaning equipment is opened on one side of the workbench. The cut potato strips are scattered on the workbench, and then the operator pushes the potato strips into the slide. After the existing equipment is improved, the utility model can install the equipment above the slide, which not only reduces the space volume of the workbench matched with the equipment, but also allows the processed potato strips to fall directly into the slide for subsequent cleaning procedures, saving the step of the operator transferring the potato strips, further shortening the processing time, and improving the processing efficiency.

3. Compared with purchasing new equipment, the utility model makes simple structural improvements on the basis of existing equipment, reduces the labor intensity of operators, improves processing efficiency, achieves high benefits at low cost, and effectively saves the company's equipment cost and overall production cost.

Furthermore, a spring is provided in the slide groove, and two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the slider and the bottom of the slide groove.

After potatoes are cut, starch is produced and adheres to the receiving tube and the pressing plate. Starch has a certain viscosity. After long-term use, potato pieces are easy to stick to the pressing plate and are not easy to fall off. In addition, the pressing plate in the receiving tube cannot be reset automatically. The operator needs to manually reset it before each use, which wastes production time. Therefore, a spring is installed in the slide groove, and the characteristics of the spring are used to reset the pressed plate in time. In the process of driving the pressing plate to reset, the spring shakes to make the starch attached to the pressing plate fall off, thereby preventing structural adhesion.

Furthermore, a limiting block for limiting the pressure plate is provided at the lower end of the receiving tube.

In the above arrangement, the limit block not only limits the moving end position of the pressing plate, but also supports the pressing plate.

Furthermore, a fixing seat is embedded in the base, and a plurality of blades are evenly installed on the fixing seat. Each blade has grooves of different sizes. All the grooves are combined to form a circular positioning groove, and the size of the positioning groove is the same as the outer diameter of the receiving tube.

The cooperation between the positioning groove and the receiving tube enables the receiving tube to quickly find its position on the blade and ensures that the receiving tube fixes the potato pieces at the same position each time, so that the thickness of the cut potato strips is more uniform.

Furthermore, a first positioning block is provided on the slide rail, and second positioning blocks cooperating with the first positioning block are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the receiving tube in the radial direction.

Through the cooperation of the first positioning block and the second positioning block, it is convenient to limit the position of the receiving tube below the base, ensure that the receiving tube is placed in the same position each time, and accurately collect the potato pieces.

Furthermore, a pressing handle is provided on the pressing plate.

The pressing handle pushes the pressing plate to move so that the potato pieces in the receiving tube are fixed on the blade under force.

Example

As shown in FIG2 , a potato strip cutting device comprises a base 1 and a fixed base 2 embedded in the base, a plurality of blades 3 are evenly arranged on the fixed base 2, a push plate assembly 4 is arranged above the fixed base, and the upper end of the push plate assembly 4 is rotatably connected to a linkage rod 5.

As shown in FIG3 , a slide rail is horizontally connected to the bottom of the base 1 through a bracket 6. The slide rail is located directly below the fixed seat 2. The slide rail includes two guide rails 7 of the same structure and symmetrically arranged. A channel is left between the two guide rails 7 for the receiving tube 9 to slide and the potato strips to fall. The width of the channel is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the receiving tube 9, so as to ensure that the potato strips fall smoothly and avoid blockage on the guide rail 7. The symmetry axes of the two guide rails 7 along their length directions are located in the same vertical plane as the longitudinal symmetry axis of the fixed seat 2. A rectangular groove is opened on the opposite side of the two guide rails 7. The receiving tube 9 is provided with a rectangular groove along the diameter. A protrusion (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the rectangular groove is provided; as shown in Figure 4, the receiving tube 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 7, and a push plate 42 for pushing the receiving tube 9 is provided at the right end of the guide rail 7, and the push plate 10 is connected to the push rod 11. The two guide rails 7 are provided with a first positioning block 8 on the side close to the receiving tube, and the first positioning block 8 and the push plate 10 are located on the same side, and second positioning blocks 91 that cooperate with the first positioning block 8 are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the receiving tube 9 in the radial direction. This makes it easy to limit the placement position of the receiving tube 9 and ensure that the position of the receiving tube 9 is consistent each time.

As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a pressure plate 92 is slidably connected inside the receiving tube 9. The pressure plate 92 is circular, and a pressure handle 93 is welded and fixed on the pressure plate 92. A plurality of sliders 94 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the pressure plate 92. A sliding groove 95 for sliding movement is axially opened on the inner wall of the receiving tube 9. The number of the sliding grooves 95 corresponds to the number of the sliders 94. In this embodiment, the number of the sliders 94 is 4; a spring 96 is fixed in each sliding groove 95, and the other end of the spring 96 is connected and fixed to the slider 94 on the pressure plate 92; a limit block 97 is provided at the lower end of the receiving tube 9 for limiting the pressure plate 92, and the limit block 97 also supports the pressure plate 92 and the potatoes thereon.

In order to further improve the processing efficiency of the equipment, the present embodiment optimizes the structure of the push plate assembly 4 and the blade 3; as shown in FIG2 , a plurality of blades 3 are evenly mounted on the fixed seat 2, each blade 3 is provided with grooves of different sizes, and all the grooves are combined to form a circular positioning groove 31, the center of the positioning groove 31 coincides with the center of the fixed seat 2, and the size of the positioning groove 31 is consistent with the outer diameter of the receiving tube 9. Through the cooperation of the positioning groove 31 and the receiving tube 9, the receiving tube 9 can be quickly positioned on the blade 3 and it is also ensured that the receiving tube 9 fixes the potato pieces at the same position each time, so that the thickness of the cut potato strips is more uniform.

Furthermore, in order to ensure that the potatoes do not shake when the push plate assembly moves downward to push the potatoes, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the end of the push plate assembly 4 in this embodiment is designed to be a concave arc structure, so that the cross-section of the push plate assembly 4 can better fit the shape of the potatoes and increase the contact area with the potatoes.

The specific implementation process is as follows:

The device in this embodiment is installed above the slideway provided on the workbench. When working, as shown in FIG. 2 , the operator fixes the potatoes of the same specification after screening on the blade 3 at the positioning groove 31, and then pushes the receiving tube 9 along the guide rail 7 to the bottom of the positioning groove 31, that is, the first positioning block 8 contacts the second positioning block 91. At this time, the receiving tube 9 is coaxial with the positioning groove 31; then the operator holds the handle to press the linkage rod 5 downward, and the linkage rod 5 drives the push plate assembly 4 to move downward so that the potatoes are pressed down and cut into potato pieces, and the cut potato pieces fall into the receiving tube 9. The receiving tube 9 containing the potato pieces is then pushed to the left side of the base 1 along the guide rail 7 by the push rod 11, the operator removes the receiving tube 9 and turns it upside down on the positioning groove 31, presses the pressing plate 92 downward by the pressing handle 93 to fix the potato pieces on the blade 3, and then removes the receiving tube 9 and performs a second cutting to cut the potato pieces into potato strips. The potato strips pass through the gap between the guide rails 7 and directly fall into the slide below the base 1 and enter the cleaning process through the slide, which saves the step of the operator pushing the potato strips into the slide, making the processing efficiency higher.

The above is only an embodiment of the utility model, and the common knowledge such as the known specific technical solutions and/or characteristics in the solution is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the technical solution of the utility model, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
