Description

Cutter adjusting position for root vegetable

The present invention relates to a root vegetable cutting device, and more particularly, to a root vegetable cutting device capable of reducing waste of root vegetables by allowing position control.

Root vegetables refer to straight or enlarged roots such as radishes, carrots, burdock, sweet potatoes, and hemp. Root vegetables are used as ingredients for various dishes. However, before making the root vegetables input to cooking in the form of slices and chopping of a certain thickness, unnecessary parts must be removed from the root vegetables that are not used for cooking. For example, in order to make radish into pickled radish, conventionally, both sides of the radish are cut by hand with a knife. However, cutting root vegetables by hand requires a lot of manpower and time. Accordingly, there is a need for a method for accurately cutting a sufficient amount of radish within a short time without using manpower.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1827511 discloses a root vegetable cutting device such as a standardized cutting machine and pickled radish cutting machine, and Korean Utility Model No. 20-0280844 proposes a pickled radish cutting device with molds of various shapes. However, some parts of root vegetables have an unsuitable shape for cutting by a conventional cutter. Among the unsuitable shapes, there are those that have commercial value. Because, cutting by a conventional cutter occurs because it proceeds according to a set standard. In fact, there are a lot of root vegetables that are not processed by the cutter even though they have commercial value.

The unsuitable shape is appropriately cut by hand and used as a product. However, the manual operation requires a lot of manpower and cost, which is economically burdensome. If such an economic burden becomes a problem, unnecessary waste is caused when the manual operation is omitted and discarded.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to efficiently cut parts that are difficult to cut with conventional cutters in root vegetables and use them as products, without manual work, and to minimize unnecessary waste by eliminating unnecessary waste by eliminating manual work. It is to provide a root vegetable cutting device.

In order to solve the problem of the present invention, a position-adjustable root vegetable cutting device includes a pair of conveying parts spaced at a first angle (θ1) to seat root vegetables, a rotating shaft positioned on the conveying unit and rotating the cutter, a drive motor connected to the rotation shaft and providing rotational force to the rotation shaft; a bracket located on both sides of the rotation shaft and supporting the rotation shaft; and a bracket for supporting the rotation shaft and connected to one side of the bracket; It includes a positioning unit for moving in the direction or a combination thereof.

In the device of the present invention, the pair of conveying parts has a gap D through which the cutter is penetrated. The rotational force of the driving motor is transmitted to the rotation shaft by a power transmission unit.

In a preferred device of the present invention, when the rotation shaft is moved in the x-axis direction, the position in the x-axis direction at which the cutter cuts the root vegetables moves. When the rotation axis is moved in the y-axis direction, the third angle θ3 at which the cutter cuts the root vegetables changes. When the rotation axis is moved in combination in the x-axis and y-axis directions, the position and the third angle θ3 in the x-axis direction at which the cutter cuts the root vegetables are changed. The movement in the x-axis direction may move the rotation axis left and right, and movement in the y-axis direction may move one side of the rotation axis up and down.

According to the position-adjustable root vegetable cutting device of the present invention, by adjusting the position of the cutter by the position adjusting unit, the part that is difficult to use as a product by cutting from root vegetables with a conventional cutter is efficiently cut and used as a product, It does not go through manual labor, and the number of discarded root vegetables is reduced as much as possible.

1 is a view schematically illustrating a process of adjusting the position of the cutter 30 of the root vegetable cutting device 100 in the x-axis direction according to an embodiment of the present invention. However, the drawings are not expressed in a strict sense, and there may be components not shown in the drawings for convenience of description.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the root vegetable cutting device 100 includes a frame 10 , a driving motor 20 , a rotating shaft 24 , a cutter 30 , and a transport unit 40 . The cutter 20 , the rotating shaft 24 , the cutter 30 , and the carrying unit 40 are located inside the frame 10 . The rotational force of the driving motor 20 is transmitted to the rotation shaft 24 through the bush 21 , the power transmission unit 22 , and the fixing unit 23 , and the rotation shaft 24 rotates. The power transmission unit 22 can apply all known means such as a belt, a chain, a gear, and the like, and a belt is expressed in the drawing. When the rotating shaft 24 rotates, the cutter 30 fixed to the cutter mounting part 31 rotates. Brackets 25 for supporting the rotary shaft 24 are positioned on both sides of the rotary shaft 24 , and the bracket 25 includes a bearing for facilitating the rotation of the rotary shaft 24 .

The bracket 25 is connected to one side, preferably the lower position adjusting part 26 . The position adjusting unit 26 moves the rotating shaft 24 in the x-axis and y-axis to adjust the position of the cutter 30 for cutting the root vegetables (RV). An example of movement in the x-axis direction is described in FIGS. 1 and 2 , and an example of movement in the y-axis direction is described in FIGS. 3 and 4 . When the positioning unit 26 is moved in the x-axis direction, the cutter 30 fixed to the cutter mounting unit 31 moves in the x-axis direction. When the cutter 30 moves in the x-axis direction, the cutting position of the root vegetables RV is changed. The movement in the x-axis direction refers to the movement of the rotation shaft 24 left and right. A method of moving the positioning unit 26 in the x-axis direction is not necessarily limited thereto, and it can be precisely moved using a stepping motor.

A transport unit 40 is positioned at a lower portion of the rotating shaft 24 . The transport unit 40 moves the root vegetables (RV) and consists of a pair (40a, 40b). A plurality of rollers 41 are mounted on the pair of transport units 40a and 40b to move the root vegetables RV in a desired direction. The pair of transport units 40a and 40b are spaced apart by a first angle θ1 to seat the root vegetables RV. The first angle θ1 has an extent at which the root vegetables RV are stably settled. If the first angle θ1 is too small, it is difficult to seat the root vegetables RV. If the first angle θ1 is excessively large, the root vegetables RV are shaken during the cutting process, so that the cutting is not performed properly.

A pair of conveying parts 40a and 40b is formed with a space having a gap D, and the cutter 30 passes through the space. The gap (D) is adjusted to the extent that the cutter (30) penetrates smoothly while sufficiently seating the root vegetables (RV). The reason the cutter 30 penetrates the space is to reliably cut the root vegetables (RV). The transport unit 40 is supported by a vertical support 42 and a horizontal support 43 mounted on the frame 10 .

2 is a view for explaining a process of cutting root vegetables by adjusting the position of the cutter 30 of the root vegetable cutting device 100 in the x-axis direction according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the root vegetable cutting device 100 will be referred to with reference to FIG. For convenience of description, the pair of carrying units 40 are briefly expressed and only essential parts are shown.

According to FIG. 2 , the root vegetables RV are seated on the carrying unit 40 that is spread by a first angle θ1 . Root vegetables (RV) refer to those that are not processed by conventional cutters even though they have commercial value. Root vegetables RV1 have a relatively large diameter, and root vegetables RV2 have a relatively small diameter. When the root vegetables RV is seated on the carrying unit 40 , the cutter 30 rotates to cut the root vegetables RV. When the root vegetable (RV) is cut, it is divided into parts a and b. If the position of the cutter 30 is adjusted, the sizes of parts a and b are different.

For root vegetables (RV1) having a relatively large diameter, parts a and b can be cut to fit the product without a separate manual operation. If the root vegetable (RV1) is cut in a conventional manner, parts a and b suitable for the product cannot be produced. Root vegetables (RV2) with a relatively small diameter are not cut enough to be suitable for commercial use with conventional cutters, so they will be manually processed or discarded. However, if the cutting device 100 of the present invention is used, the part a of the root vegetable RV2 is removed and the part b is cut to be suitable for the product without manual operation. In other words, the cutting device 100 of the present invention can be cut to fit the product regardless of the size of the diameter.

3 is a view schematically illustrating a process of adjusting the position of the cutter 30 of the root vegetable cutting device 100 in the y-axis direction according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the root vegetable cutting device 100 will be referred to with reference to FIG.

According to FIG. 3 , the root vegetable cutting device 100 raises or lowers one side of the rotation shaft 24 in the y-axis direction by the position adjusting unit 26 , the rotation shaft 24 rotates at a second angle θ2 with respect to the x-axis ) is tilted by In the drawing, the case of rising in the y-axis direction is expressed. When the rotation shaft 24 is inclined by the second angle θ2, the cutter 30 is inclined by the third angle θ3 to cut the root vegetables RV at the third angle θ3. If the cutter 30 and the rotation shaft 24 form a right angle, the second and third angles θ2 and θ3 are the same. When the rotating shaft 24 is moved in the y-axis direction, the driving motor 20, the bush 21, the power transmission unit 22, the fixing unit 23, the rotating shaft 24, the bracket 25, the cutter 30 and The cutter mounting part 31 also moves together. When the rotating shaft 24 moves in the y-axis direction, if the driving motor 20 and the like move together, the rotational force of the driving motor 20 is smoothly transmitted to the rotating shaft 24 .

4 is a view for explaining a process of cutting root vegetables by adjusting the position of the cutter 30 of the root vegetable cutting device 100 in the y-axis direction according to an embodiment of the present invention. At this time, the root vegetable cutting device 100 will be referred to with reference to FIG. For convenience of description, the pair of carrying units 40 are briefly expressed and only essential parts are shown.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the root vegetables RV are seated on the carrying unit 40 that is spaced apart by a first angle θ1 . Root vegetables (RV) refer to those that are not processed by conventional cutters even though they have commercial value. Root vegetables RV1 have a relatively large diameter, and root vegetables RV2 have a relatively small diameter. When the root vegetables RV is seated on the carrying unit 40 , the cutter 30 rotates to cut the root vegetables RV. When the root vegetable (RV) is cut, it is divided into parts c and d. The cutter 30 is inclined by the third angle θ3 to cut the root vegetables RV at the third angle θ3. If the position of the cutter 30 is adjusted, the sizes of parts c and d are changed. Since the cut portions c and d are cut at the third angle θ3, the shapes are different from the portions a and b.

Root vegetables (RV1) with a relatively large diameter can be cut to fit the product without separate manual work for parts c and d. If the root vegetable (RV1) is cut in a conventional manner, it is not possible to produce parts c and d suitable for the product. Root vegetables (RV2) with a relatively small diameter are not cut enough to be suitable for commercial use with conventional cutters, so they will be manually processed or discarded. By the way, when the cutting device 100 of the present invention is used, the c part of the root vegetable RV2 is removed and the d part is cut to be suitable for the product without manual operation. In other words, the cutting device 100 of the present invention can be cut to be more suitable for the product regardless of the size of the diameter.

The position adjusting unit 26 of the root vegetable cutting device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may combine movement in the x-axis and y-axis directions. In other words, first, a cutting position is set to be divided into parts a and b, and a third angle θ3 is made to cut parts c and d based on parts a and b. The cutting device 100 of the present invention efficiently cuts a portion that is difficult to use as a product by cutting with a conventional cutter. In this way, it is used as a valuable product among shapes that are unsuitable for cutting by a conventional cutter, and the number of root vegetables that are discarded is maximized without manual work.

As mentioned above, although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention. possible.
