Design and analysis of a new type of fresh peach slitting machine

[Objective] To deal the technical difficulties in further realizing the automation of de nucleating production of fresh peach slices. [Methods] A new type of fresh peach slicing and coining machine was designed. The cutting tool for slice kerning was simplified and analyzed by Mathematical analysis, and the motion characteristic equation and curve of the mechanism were obtained. The motion simulation analysis of the slicing and core-removing tool mechanism was carried out by using SolidWorks Motion software, and the motion characteristic curve of the mechanism was obtained.The correctness of the mathematical analysis was verified, and the rationality of the design of the cutting tool was also verified. [Results] The machine uses PLC control, including fresh peach conveyor chain feeding, fresh peach positioning, slicing tool movement, etc. Through the analysis of the field test results, the average cutting rate of fresh peach slicing and coiling machine reached 99.39%, the average coiling rate reached 99.15%, and the average breakage rate was lower than 0.12%. [Conclusion] The new type of fresh peach slicing and coiling machine can realize the automatic positioning, cutting and coiling of fresh peach, etc.
