The invention relates to food equipment. In particular, the invention relates to an adjustable device of circularly slicing and shaping fruit and vegetable with filter.
Fruits and vegetables are daily necessities. When vegetables such as radishes, sweet potatoes, and kohlrabi, and fruits need to be sliced for further processing or storage, the traditional method is manually slicing. Manually slicing is not only inefficient, but also generates slices with uneven thickness, and requires intense labor. Manual operation of slicing is also dangerous. The existing machines of slicing fruit and vegetable with continuous feeding of fruits and vegetables, is not convenient, as blades need to be varied for different sliced thicknesses and shapes of fruits and vegetables. This is because the distance between the blades, and the angle between the blades and movement direction of fruits and vegetables are fixed for the existing machines. The blades of these slicing machines are often unidirectional, which means that when fruits and vegetables are very thick, a long cutting track will be required, or reciprocating motion of the fruits and vegetables on the blades will be required with compromising half inefficiency. In addition, such machines cannot filter the sliced fruits and vegetables. Additional manually filtering will be needed afterwards, which is not convenient.
The technical problem to be solved is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiency by providing an adjustable device of circularly slicing and shaping fruit and vegetable with filter. It has advantages of having simple and reasonable structure, being easy to use, with high degree of intelligence and versatility, safe and reliable, labor-saving, and having strong practicality, etc., which effectively solves the problem of existing slicing machines being inconvenient.
The technical solution of the invention is to provide an adjustable device of circularly slicing and shaping fruit and vegetable with filter which includes a base with a frame, a water filtering mechanism, an adjustable cutter head, and a sliding pressing mechanism. One end of the base is provided with an electric conveyor belt and a controller. A hopper is arranged above the electric conveyor belt. The other end of the base is provided with a cutter head mounting seat and a work top.
The water filtering mechanism is a trough body having a U-shaped structure disposed under the cutter head mounting seat. The trough body is provided with a mesh plate, a vibration motor and a water outlet. One end of the trough body is hinged to the base, and the other end of the trough body is connected to the base through an elastic connecting member. The mesh plate and the bottom of the trough body form a cavity having a single opening, and the water outlet is connected to the cavity.
The adjustable cutter head includes a plurality of sub-cutter heads connected in a stack by a cutter head connecting piece. The sub-cutter head is connected with the cutter head mounting seat. The sub-cutter head includes a cylinder with double openings, a first motor disposed on the cylinder, blades with a long strip structure arranged in the same direction, adjusting rods disposed horizontally parallel to each other, a guiding rod disposed between the adjusting rods, and a blade connecting member. The adjusting rod and the guiding rod are arranged at the two ends of the blades and the two ends are respectively rotatably connected to the cylinder. The first motor is mutually connected with one end of the adjusting rod.
The adjusting rod is composed of a plurality of adjusting short rods.

The boring head and the sleeve hole of the adjacent adjusting short rods are sleeved with each other and they are bolted for fixation. The surfaces of the adjacent adjusting short rods are provided with an external thread with opposite rotation directions.
The sliding pressing mechanism includes a cantilever fixed to the base, a sliding support block slidably connected to the cantilever, an electric cylinder disposed on the sliding support block, and an elastic pressure plate connected to the electric cylinder. The cantilever is provided with a rack, a baffle. The sliding support block is provided with a second motor connected to the rack. The sliding support block is provided with a first infrared distance sensor that cooperates with the baffle. The elastic pressure plate includes a housing with a blind hole, a spring disposed in the housing, and a slider. The second infrared distance sensor is disposed on the housing. The slider is provided with a spike.
Further, the electric conveyor belt includes a plurality of rollers rotatably connected to the base and a conveyor belt disposed on the rollers. The rollers are mutually connected with a third motor disposed on the base.
Further, a buffer plate is disposed obliquely on the base between the electric conveyor belt and the adjustable cutter head.
Further, the sliding support block is a C-shaped structure, and the upper end of the sliding support block is provided with an inverted T-shaped slider. The T-shaped slider is snapped into the inverted T-shaped chute on the cantilever and is slidably connected thereto. The lower end of the sliding support block is slidably connected to a circular slide rail fixed on the cantilever.
Further, the elastic connecting member is a spring or an elastic band.
Further, the cutter head connecting member includes a first chuck and a second chuck which are sleeved with the first chuck. The first chuck and the second chuck are respectively engaged with the cylinders adjacent to each other. A first angle sensor and a pressure sensor are disposed at the junction of the first chuck and the second chuck. Two ends of the first angle sensor are respectively connected to the first chuck and the second chuck.
Further, the blade connecting member includes a third chuck engaged with one end of the blade, and a connecting block. The third chuck and the connecting block are sleeved to each other. A second angle sensor is disposed at the junction of the third chuck and the connecting block. The connecting block is provided with a connecting through hole.
Further, the connecting through hole and the adjusting rod are screwed to each other, and are slidably connected to the guiding rod.
Further, the controller is electrically connected to the worktop, the vibration motor, the first motor, the electric cylinder, the second motor, the first infrared distance sensor, the second infrared distance sensor, the third motor, the first angle sensor, and the second angle sensor, respectively.
The technical effect of the invention is to provide an adjustable device of circularly slicing and shaping fruit and vegetable with filter which includes a base with a frame, a water filtering mechanism, an adjustable cutter head, and a sliding pressing mechanism. The base is provided with an electric conveyor belt which conveys vegetables and fruit to the top of the adjustable cutter head. The sliding pressing mechanism drives the fruits and vegetables to reciprocatingly move on the adjustable cutter head for slicing. The adjustable cutter head adopts an intelligent and electric adjustable design, which can conveniently adjust parameters such as distance and angle between the blades, without manual replacement of the cutter head. The blades can be oriented in two directions, which will not reduce the slicing efficiency during the reciprocating movement of fruits and vegetables. The sliding pressing mechanism adopts an elastic design to avoid crushing fruits and vegetables. The sliced vegetable juice and liquid and the water for washing fruits and vegetables are separated and collected by the water filtering mechanism, which is convenient for subsequent processing or storage.
