[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0034] In addition, the terms "first," "second," and so on, used in this disclosure are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features.

For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, connections through an intermediary medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in the present invention.

[0036] like Figure 1-2As shown, the sausage multi-faceted flowering device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a bracket 3, a flower cutting mechanism 4, a turning mechanism 5 and a driving mechanism 6; the conveyor belt 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and a plurality of sausage molds 7 are arranged in sequence on the conveyor belt 2, and the sausage molds 7 are used to place sausages. The conveyor belt 2 can adopt a chain or belt conveyor belt commonly used in this field and is driven by a motor; a plurality of casters 8 are also provided at the corners of the bottom of the frame 1 to facilitate the movement of the equipment.

[0037] The bracket 3 is set on the frame 1 and located on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. A plurality of groups of flower cutting mechanisms 4 are arranged at intervals on the bracket 3. A group of flipping mechanisms 5 is arranged between every two groups of flower cutting mechanisms 4, and the flower cutting mechanisms 4 and the flipping mechanisms 5 are both located above the conveyor belt 2.

[0038] The number of cutting mechanisms 4 and turning mechanisms 5 is determined according to the number and angle of cutting the sausage. For example, in this embodiment, the sausage is cut on three sides, and the interval angle of each cutting is 120°. Therefore, three sets of cutting mechanisms 4 and two sets of turning mechanisms 5 are provided. Each action of the turning mechanism 5 rotates the sausage 120° along the axial direction.

[0039] Of course, two sets of cutting mechanisms 4 and one set of turning mechanisms 5 can also be set, and the turning mechanisms 5 rotate the sausage axially 180° each time they move, thereby achieving cutting on both sides of the sausage; or four sets of cutting mechanisms 4 and three sets of turning mechanisms 5 can be set, and the turning mechanisms 5 rotate the sausage axially 90° each time they move, thereby achieving cutting on four sides of the sausage; and so on, by setting the number of cutting mechanisms 4 and turning mechanisms 5, multi-sided cutting of the sausage can be achieved.

[0040] The driving mechanism 6 is arranged at one side of the frame 1 and is in transmission connection with the turning mechanism 5 . The turning mechanism 5 is driven by the driving mechanism 6 to turn over.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the flower cutting mechanism 4 includes a first driving unit 41, a cutter connecting plate 42, a plurality of cutters 43 and a positioning mold 44. The first driving unit 41 is longitudinally arranged on the bracket 3 through a connecting plate 45. The cutter connecting plate 42 is arranged at the bottom of the first driving unit 41. The plurality of cutters 43 are spaced and inclined at the bottom of the cutter connecting plate 42. The positioning mold 44 is arranged below the cutter 43 through a guide rod 46. The positioning mold 44 is provided with a plurality of knife grooves 47 corresponding to the cutters 43 one by one.

[0042] A plurality of positioning pins 48 are provided at the peripheral positions of the bottom of the positioning mold 44, a plurality of positioning grooves 71 corresponding to the positioning pins 48 are provided at the peripheral positions of the top of the sausage mold 7, and a groove 72 for placing sausages is provided at the top of the sausage mold 7. The bottom of the positioning mold 44 can be provided with corresponding grooves or a flat structure, the purpose of which is to press the sausage into the groove 72 to prevent it from moving when cutting.

[0043] The upper end of the guide rod 46 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 45, the middle position of the guide rod 46 is slidably connected to the cutter connecting plate 42, the lower end of the guide rod 46 is fixedly connected to the positioning mold 44, and a buffer spring 49 is sleeved on the guide rod 46 between the cutter connecting plate 42 and the positioning mold 44.

[0044] When cutting flowers, the first driving unit 41 drives the cutter connecting plate 42 and the cutter 43 to move downward, and further drives the positioning mold 44 to move downward so that it is pressed on the sausage; as the cutter connecting plate 42 and the cutter 43 continue to move downward, the guide rod 46 slides upward along the positioning mold 44 and the connecting plate 45, and the buffer spring 49 is compressed, pressing the positioning mold 44 on the sausage with an appropriate force to prevent the sausage from being crushed; the cutter 43 passes through the knife groove 47 and cuts multiple oblique openings on the side of the sausage, completing the flower cutting work on one side, and then the flower cutting mechanism 4 is reset and the flipping mechanism 5 is ready for action.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the turning mechanism 5 includes a turning frame 51, a second driving unit 52 and a picking unit 53. The two ends of the turning frame 51 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the bracket 3. The second driving unit 52 is arranged on the turning frame 51 and connected to the picking unit 53. A limit block 54 is provided on each side of the rotation connection between the turning frame 51 and the bracket 3. The top of the limit block 54 is a slope structure. In this embodiment, the slope angle of the two limit blocks 54 is 120°, so that the sausage can be cut every 120°.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 6 includes a third driving unit 61, a driving wheel 62, a transmission wheel 63 and a transmission member 64. The third driving unit 61 is arranged on one side of the bracket 1 and is coaxially connected to the driving wheel 62. The transmission wheel 63 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the flip frame 51. The driving wheel 62 and the transmission wheel 63 are synchronously connected through the transmission member 64.

[0047] The third driving unit 61 drives the driving wheel 62 to rotate, and drives the driving wheel 63 to rotate through the transmission member 64, thereby driving the turning frame 51 to turn over.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 41 and the second drive unit 52 can be driven by a cylinder, an oil cylinder, a linear module, etc.; the third drive unit 61 can be driven by a motor, a rotary cylinder, etc.; the picking unit 53 can be driven by a suction cup, a needle-shaped object, etc.; the driving wheel 62 and the transmission wheel 63 can be driven by a pulley, a sprocket, etc., and the transmission part 64 can be driven by a belt or chain.

[0049] The present invention uses a cutting mechanism 4 to cut multiple openings on the side of the sausage, and drives the flipping mechanism 5 to flip the sausage at a certain angle through the driving mechanism 6, and then performs opening processing again through the cutting mechanism 4, thereby realizing automatic multi-sided opening of the sausage. Compared with the traditional manual cutting method, the production efficiency is greatly improved, the opening standard is unified, and the cleanliness and hygiene of the food can be guaranteed.
