[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a baguette slicing mechanism is used to cut a baguette into slices at a set angle. The baguette slicing mechanism includes a stand 10, a driving assembly 20, a sliding assembly 30, a protection assembly 40 and a pressing assembly 70.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving assembly 20 is mounted on the stand 10, and the motor 22 of the driving assembly 20 is drivingly connected to a saw blade 50 so that the saw blade 50 rotates to cut the baguette 60. Specifically, the driving assembly 20 includes a motor seat 21, a motor 22, a driving wheel 23, a belt 24 and a driven wheel 25. The motor seat 21 is fixed on the stand 10, the motor 22 is mounted on the motor seat 21 by bolts, the output shaft of the motor 22 is keyed to the driving wheel 23, the driven wheel 25 is keyed to the rotating shaft of the saw blade 50, and the belt 24 is tensioned on the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 25. The motor 22 drives the belt 24 to operate through the driving wheel 23, and the belt 24 drives the driven wheel 25 to rotate, thereby driving the saw blade 50 to rotate. The saw blade seat 51 is installed on the stand 10, and the saw blade 50 is installed on the saw blade seat 51.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the sliding assembly 30 is used to guide the baguette 60 to move in the direction of the saw blade 50 until the baguette is cut by the saw blade 50. The stand 10 is provided with an upper table 11 and a lower table 12 distributed in a step-like manner. The sliding assembly 30 is respectively installed on the upper table 11 and the lower table 12, and the height of the sliding assembly on the upper table 11 should be high enough so that the baguette slices can pass through the bottom of the sliding assembly and then be collected uniformly. The sliding assembly 30 is installed in a direction parallel to the saw blade 50. The sliding assembly 30 can be driven by an electric slide as a power drive, or it can be manually operated. The structure of manually pushing the support plate 34 to move is disclosed in detail in this embodiment. The sliding assembly 30 includes a slide and a support plate 34. The slide is fixed on the table of the stand. The slide includes a slide seat 31, a guide rod 32 and a slider 33. The slide seat 31 is fixed on the table of the stand 10. The two ends of the guide rod 32 are respectively fixed on two slide seats 31. At least two sliders 33 are slidably installed on the guide rod 32. The support plate 34 is fixedly mounted on the slider 33, and the support plate 34 also includes an upper supporting surface 341, a vertical surface 342 and a lower supporting surface 343 connected in a step shape. The upper supporting surface 341 is fixedly connected to the slider on the upper table 11, and the lower supporting surface 343 is fixedly connected to the slider on the lower table 12. A push plate handle 344 is installed on the upper supporting surface 341 or the lower supporting surface 343. The push plate handle 344 is pushed back and forth to move the support plate 34 along the guide rod 32 toward the side of the saw blade 50 until the saw blade 50 cuts the baguette 60 on the support plate 34 into slices.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the protection assembly 40 is used to position the slicing angle of the baguette 60 and to provide safety and sanitation protection when pushing the baguette 60. The protection assembly 40 includes a baffle 41, a guide shaft 42 and a protection plate 43. The baffle 41 is L-shaped, and a first arc-shaped waist hole 345 is provided on the support plate 34. The bottom of the baffle 41 is fastened in the first waist hole 345 by bolts, so that the protection assembly 40 and the saw blade 50 are at a right angle or an obtuse angle. The installation angle of the baffle 41 on the first waist hole 345 can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape requirements of the slices, thereby changing the angle between the baguette 60 and the saw blade 50.

[0043] A guide shaft 42 is installed on the top of the baffle 41, and a bearing seat 44 adapted to the guide shaft is installed on the guide shaft 42. The bearing seat 44 can move back and forth and rotate along the guide shaft 42, and the protective plate 43 is fixed to the bearing seat 44. Before fixing the baguette, the protective plate 43 is first opened, and then the baguette 60 is placed on the baffle 41, one side of the baguette 60 is close to the side wall of the baffle 41, and then the protective plate 43 is covered. When the protective plate 43 is pressed, it clamps the baguette 60 together with the baffle 41. The protective plate 43 can move back and forth along the guide shaft 42, which is convenient for pushing the baguette 60 forward when slicing. The front end of the protective plate 43 is provided with a first protective ear 431 and a second protective ear 432 bent upward, the first protective ear 431 is parallel to the vertical surface 342, and the second protective ear 432 is perpendicular to the guide shaft 42. The first protective ear 431 and the second protective ear 432 can prevent the hand from reaching into the slicing gap 36 and contacting the limit plate or the saw blade.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an upright limit plate 35 is installed on the support plate 34, and an avoidance window that is shaped like the limit plate 35 is provided on the vertical surface 342 of the support plate. The limit plate 35 is parallel to the saw blade 50 and is located in front of the saw blade 50. A slicing gap 36 that is adapted to the slicing thickness of the baguette is left between the limit plate 35 and the saw blade 50. When the baguette 60 moves toward the side of the saw blade, the baguette is pushed forward so that its front end is close to the limit plate 35 to prevent the baguette from shaking or deflecting and causing the slices to have different shapes.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, an adjustment plate 37 is installed on the support plate 34 by bolts, and a limit plate 35 is fixedly connected to the adjustment plate 37. A second waist hole 371 extending in a direction perpendicular to the saw blade is provided on the adjustment plate 37. Before use, the front and rear positions of the adjustment plate 37 installed on the support plate 34 can be adjusted through the second waist hole 371 according to the thickness of the slice, thereby changing the slice gap 36 to match the slice thickness.

[0046] A pressing assembly 70 for pressing the front end of the baguette against the limiting plate 35 is installed on the lower supporting surface of the supporting plate 34, and there is an angle between the pressing assembly 70 and the limiting plate 35. Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 70 includes a fixed seat 71, a pressure rod 72, an elastic member 73, a pressure wheel 74 and a pressure wheel fixing plate 75. The fixed seat 71 includes a base 711 and a side wall 712 connected in an L shape. The base 711 is fixedly mounted on the lower supporting surface 343 by bolts. The base 711 is provided with a third waist hole 713 extending to one side of the limiting plate 35. The relative distance between the clamping assembly 70 and the baguette 60 is adjusted through the third waist hole 713 so that baguettes of different diameters can be clamped.

[0047] A through hole matching the diameter of the pressure rod 72 is provided on the side wall 712 of the fixing seat 71. The horizontal pressure rod 72 is slidably installed in the through hole. One end of the pressure rod 72 extends out of the through hole and extends to the side away from the baguette. The other end of the pressure rod 72 is welded or screwed to the pressure wheel fixing plate 75. An elastic member 73 is installed on the pressure rod 72. The elastic member 73 can be selected from but not limited to a compression spring. The two ends of the elastic member 73 abut against the side wall 712 and the pressure wheel fixing plate 75 respectively. The pressure wheel fixing plate 75 has two upper and lower connecting ears 751. The pressure wheel 74 is installed on the two connecting ears 751 in the vertical direction. A handle 76 is fixedly installed above the pressure wheel 74. The pressure wheel 74 is squeezed by the elastic member 73 to press the baguette 60, so that the front end of the baguette 60 is close to the limiting plate 35. When the baguette 60 is manually pushed forward, the pressure wheel 74 rotates with the baguette 60 to reduce the friction between the baguette 60 and the pressure wheel 74. When the baguette 60 is loaded or unloaded, the handle 76 can be pushed to squeeze the elastic member 73 to move the pressing wheel 74 away from the baguette, thereby freeing up more space for quick loading and unloading of the baguette.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective cover 80 is installed on the lower supporting surface 343 , and the protective cover 80 covers the saw blade 50 . A limiting hole 81 parallel to the pressure rod is provided on the protective cover 80 , and the top of the handle 76 extends out of the limiting hole 81 . When the handle 76 is pushed, the handle 76 moves along the limiting hole 81 .

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an upright guide plate 38 is also installed on the support plate 34 in front of the saw blade 50. The guide plate 38 is located below the guide rod 32 of the sliding assembly. The guide plate 38 has a guide portion 381 that forms an angle with the saw blade 50. The distance between the end of the guide portion 381 and the saw blade 50 is smaller than the slicing gap 36. The guide portion 381 guides the sliced ​​product to the front of the stand to facilitate the movement of the sliced ​​product into the collection container.

[0050] The working process of this baguette slicing mechanism is:

[0051] Adjust the installation angle of the baffle of the protection assembly 40 on the support plate 34 according to the shape of the slice;

[0052] The installation position of the pressing assembly 70 on the support plate 34 is adjusted according to the diameter of the baguette 60 so that the pressing wheel 74 can apply an appropriate amount of pressure to the baguette;

[0053] Starting the motor 22 to drive the saw blade 50 to rotate;

[0054] Flip the protective plate 43 upwards, place the baguette 60 on the baffle plate 41 and close to the side wall of the baffle plate 41, then cover the protective plate 43, push the baguette 60 forward, make the front end of the baguette 60 close to the limit plate 35, and press the protective plate 43 to fix the baguette;

[0055] The support plate 34 is pushed by the push plate handle 344 to move the baguette 60 to the saw blade 50 until it is cut by the saw blade;

[0056] The cut sliced ​​products are guided by the guide plate 38 and move to the front side of the stand until they fall into the collection container for unified collection.

[0057] Pull the support plate 34 back to the left, and push the baguette 60 forward at the same time, so that the front end of the baguette is close to the limiting plate 35 again, and then repeat the above steps to cut the baguette into a plurality of slices.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention is described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
