Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dried squid processing equipment, and in particular to an automatic squid shred processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Dried squid, a popular seafood product, holds an important position in the global market due to its unique taste and rich nutritional value. However, the traditional process of shredding dried squid often relies on manual operation, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee consistent product quality. With the continuous advancement of technology and the rapid development of automation, automated equipment for shredding dried squid has emerged, bringing revolutionary changes to the dried squid processing industry.

[0003] After extensive market research, the inventors discovered that most of the current processing equipment for squid shreds in the industry uses mechanical rigid cutting of dried squid with structures such as blade rollers and cutters with long blades. Although this method can efficiently produce squid shreds with a more uniform and neat appearance, it often damages the squid's fiber structure over a large area, resulting in squid shreds that are not soft enough and affect their taste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides an automatic squid shred processing device, which helps to solve the problem that existing dried squid products cannot simultaneously maintain the good taste of squid shreds and improve processing efficiency when shredding them.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] An automatic squid shred processing device includes a frame and a control system electrically connected to control each moving part. The frame is equipped with a feeding mechanism, a shredding mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a discharging mechanism.

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a horizontally arranged first conveyor, the outer end of which is the feeding end exposed on the outer surface of the frame, and the inner end of the first conveyor is provided with a longitudinally spaced second conveyor and a third conveyor. The second and third conveyors are connected to two longitudinally spaced pressing members, and the two pressing members form a pressing gap adapted to the thickness of the material. The front side of the pressing gap corresponds to the feeding position inside the first conveyor, and the rear side of the pressing gap forms the silking position.

[0008] The tearing mechanism includes several blades located in the area behind the tearing station. Each blade has a pointed working end that contacts the material. A periodic transmission structure is provided between the tearing mechanism and the driving mechanism. This periodic transmission structure can drive the blades to perform point-like penetration and staggered tearing activities on the material at the tearing station.

[0009] The discharge mechanism is located at the rear end of the shredding mechanism. The output end of the discharge mechanism is exposed on the outer surface of the frame, and the inner end of the discharge mechanism is the receiving end that covers the material dropping area of ​​the shredding position.

[0010] The third conveyor is located above the second conveyor. The second and / or third conveyors are provided with a linkage structure controlled by the periodic transmission structure. The linkage structure can cause the second and third conveyors to move closer or further apart, forming a periodic pressing structure synchronized with the tearing activity.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the front of the frame is provided with a horizontal worktable, and the worktable is provided with a linear notch corresponding to the number of the first conveying components. The first conveying component is a transmission chain structure with its top exposed above the linear notch.

[0012] The left and right sides of the holding member are connected to vertical support plates. The second and third conveying members are double-chain structures set on the support plates. The double-chain structures located at the bottom of the third conveying member and at the top of the second conveying member are adapted to the horizontal contour of the holding member.

[0013] The first, second, and third conveying components are movably connected to the frame via a drive shaft.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution, the pressing member includes a connecting seat for connecting the support plate, and an abutting plate is provided on the side of the connecting seat near the clamping gap. The side of the abutting plate near the clamping gap is the clamping end face that abuts against the material.

[0015] Based on the above technical solution, the clamping end face is provided with several anti-slip textures with flange structures; the connecting seat and the abutment plate are a separate structure, which is assembled and fixed by connecting bolts. One end of the connecting bolt is fixedly connected to the abutment plate, and the other end passes through the connecting seat and is connected to the nut fixed on the connecting seat, forming an adjustable gap connection structure between the abutment plate and the connecting seat.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the anti-slip texture is composed of a triangular prism structure, with its radial inner end face and clamping end face in clearance fit, and the two are connected by an elastic element. The radial outer end of the triangular prism structure is a chamfered edge, and there are pressing inclined surfaces on both sides of the chamfered edge. Several anti-slip flange structures are provided on the pressing inclined surfaces.

[0017] Based on the above technical solution, the connecting seat located on the third conveyor is an "H" shaped structure, with two first guide blocks spaced apart in the middle. The bottom of the two first guide blocks has two first guide ramps symmetrically arranged in the front-back direction, and the two first guide ramps form a "V" shaped structure. Below the connecting seat, there are two abutment plates spaced apart in the front-back direction. Each abutment plate has a second guide block fixed on its top. The top of the second guide block has a second guide ramp that fits against the first guide ramp. The abutment plate has a strip hole structure parallel to the second guide ramp. This strip hole structure serves as a limiting hole. A limiting slide rod is horizontally inserted in the limiting hole. The two ends of the limiting slide rod are respectively connected and fixed to the side walls of the connecting seat located on the left and right sides. The first guide ramp, the second guide ramp, the limiting hole, and the limiting slide rod work together to form the steering control structure of the abutment plate. When the connecting seat moves downward to squeeze the material, the two abutment plates will move outward in a coordinated manner.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the limiting hole is provided with several pleated grooves. When the limiting slide rod slides relative to the limiting hole, a wavy path is formed. The first guide inclined surface and the second guide inclined surface are provided with an movable gap adapted to the peak and valley amplitude of the wavy path. When the connecting seat descends to squeeze the material, the abutment plate can form left and right vibration and move outward by the relative sliding of the limiting slide rod and the limiting hole.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the tearing mechanism includes a first tearing mechanism and a second tearing mechanism arranged in front of and behind each other.

[0020] The first tearing mechanism includes an "n"-shaped blade holder with a pivot end at the free end. The middle section of the blade holder is provided with several longitudinal first blades. A second blade is offset on one side of the first blade. The bottom of the first blade and the second blade are pointed working ends. An eccentric linkage assembly is provided between the blade holder and the drive mechanism. This eccentric linkage assembly constitutes the periodic transmission structure of the first tearing mechanism.

[0021] The second tearing mechanism includes a roller, the pivot shaft of which is horizontally connected to the frame. Several opening slots are centrally symmetrically arranged on the outer circumference of the roller. A third blade is provided at the opening slot, which is exposed to the outside of the roller. The third blade is clearance-fitted with the inner contour of the opening slot. A pusher ring is pivotally provided inside the opening slot and is sleeved on the outer circumference of the third blade. A cam is provided on the pivot shaft of the roller. A crank-connecting rod assembly is provided between the outer contour of the cam and each opening slot. The crank-connecting rod assembly can periodically push the pusher ring to the outer end of the third blade as the cam rotates, thus forming the cleaning module of the third blade.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, the third conveying component is connected to a base on both the left and right sides. One side of the base is connected to the frame via a universal coupling and the top of the base is connected to the gantry via a vertical spring connecting rod. The gantry is connected to the frame. The inner ends of the second and third conveying components are movably connected to the frame and the gantry via telescopic connecting rods, respectively.

[0023] Based on the above technical solution, the tool holder is provided with a follower, and the top of the abutment plate on the third conveyor is provided with an elastic pressure rod adapted to the follower. When the follower swings down with the tool holder, it can press down the elastic pressure rod to form a linkage structure that controls the periodic downward pressure of the third conveyor.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0025] 1. This invention constructs an automated operating device by setting a feeding mechanism, a tearing mechanism, a driving mechanism and a discharging mechanism on the frame, which replaces the high-intensity operation of traditional squid shred processing that relies on a lot of manual tearing, greatly improves processing efficiency, reduces labor intensity and helps to ensure product quality consistency.

[0026] 2. This invention uses a blade with a pointed working end to perform point-penetration and staggered tearing of squid shreds. This is different from the long blade used in most existing equipment. The blade structure of this invention can achieve efficient and high-quality tearing, which helps to fully maintain the squid's own fiber structure, making the squid shreds soft enough and improving the taste of the squid shreds.

[0027] 3. Through its ingenious linkage structure, this invention enables precise coordination between multiple mechanisms, strong synchronization, and smooth and stable operation of the processing flow, while also reducing the complexity and failure rate of the transmission structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention.

[0049] In the description of this invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0050] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0051] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] Example 1: Combination Figure 1-12 This embodiment discloses an automatic squid shred processing equipment, which includes a frame 1, a control system, a feeding mechanism 2, a shredding mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a discharging mechanism 5.

[0053] The frame 1 is assembled from metal profiles and panels, and mainly serves as a load-bearing and supporting element. The front and rear ends of the frame 1 serve as the feeding end and the discharging end, respectively. The dried squid (in sheet form) enters the equipment from the feeding end, is processed by various mechanisms in sequence, and is output as squid shreds b2 from the discharging end.

[0054] The front of the frame 1 is equipped with a longitudinally staggered workbench 11 and a storage platform 12, both of which are horizontal platforms. The workbench 11 serves as the material feeding area, and its horizontal panel can support the dried squid, assisting the feeding mechanism 2 in conveying it into the equipment. The storage platform 12 is located below the front of the workbench 11 and is used to place storage boxes, etc., facilitating the actual production activities of the operators. The frame 1 has a control system located inside the storage platform 12. The control system includes an electrical control box, a PLC controller, and other devices. The control system on the PLC controller is electrically connected to control various moving parts. This is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can select and implement it from existing technologies according to actual operating conditions.

[0055] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a horizontally arranged first conveyor 21, which is used to convey the dried squid located on the workbench 11 into the equipment. The outer end of the first conveyor 21 is the feeding end exposed on the outer surface of the frame 1, which is beneficial for manual feeding and also for use with external feeding devices (such as conveyor belts, transfer robots, etc.). Specifically, in conjunction with Figure 2-5As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a gantry frame 26 erected on the left and right sides inside the workbench 11. The first conveyor 21 is a transmission chain structure set on the base of the gantry frame 26. In this embodiment, there are two first conveyor 21s, which are arranged in parallel with a left and right interval. The workbench 11 is provided with linear notches 111 corresponding to the number of first conveyor 21s. The first conveyor 21 is a transmission chain structure with its top exposed above the linear notch 111. The top of the transmission chain structure is used to abut against the bottom surface of the dried squid and to bring the dried squid into the equipment when the chain rotates. The front and rear ends of the transmission chain are connected to the frame 1 through gears and left and right horizontally oriented rotating shafts and bearing seats.

[0056] The inner end of the first conveyor 21 is provided with a second conveyor 22 and a third conveyor 23 arranged longitudinally at intervals. Two longitudinally spaced pressing members 7 are connected to the second and third conveyors 22 and 23, forming a pressing gap adapted to the material thickness. The front side of this pressing gap corresponds to the feeding position inside the first conveyor 21, and the rear side forms the shredding position. During operation, this pressing gap can intermittently clamp the dried squid, keeping it fixed at the shredding position, facilitating stable processing by the shredding mechanism and promoting the gradual and stable inward conveying of the dried squid.

[0057] Specifically, in combination Figure 5-7 The left and right sides of the holding member 7 are connected to vertical support plates. In this embodiment, the support plate is a triangular seat 6. The second conveying member 22 and the third conveying member 23 are double-chain structures set on the support plate. The double-chain structure is pivotally connected to the triangular seat 6 through gears, rotating shafts (including drive shafts and driven shafts) and bearings. The double-chain structure located at the bottom of the third conveying member 23 and at the top of the second conveying member 22 is adapted to the horizontal contour of the holding member 7.

[0058] The triangular seat 6 has a drive shaft hole 61 near the bottom corner at its front end. The drive shaft, which is compatible with the double-chain structure, mates with this drive shaft hole 61. Both ends of the drive shaft are pivotally connected to the bottom of the gantry frame 26 and then connected to the first motor a1 in the drive mechanism. Figure 3 and Figure 5 (As shown). The triangular base 6 is provided with a first connecting hole 62 near the clamping gap. The first connecting hole 62 is a strip-shaped hole structure, which is used to connect and fix the clamping member 7 with bolts.

[0059] The third conveying member 23 is located above the second conveying member 22. The pressing member 7 on the second conveying member 22 is the first pressing plate 71, and the pressing member 7 on the third conveying member 23 is the second pressing plate 72. The first pressing plate 71 and the second pressing plate 72 have the same structure but are arranged symmetrically in the longitudinal direction. Figure 8As shown, the structure is described using the second pressure plate 72 as an example. The second pressure plate 72 includes a connecting seat 721 for connecting the support plate. The connecting seat 721 has second connecting holes 723 on its left and right sides that are adapted to the first connecting hole 62. The second connecting holes 723 are threaded holes and are used to connect and fix with the first connecting hole 62 with bolts, so that the connecting seat 721 and the triangular seat 6 can be assembled. The connecting seat 721 is provided with an abutment plate 722 on the side near the clamping gap (the abutment plate 722 on the second pressure plate 72 is located at the bottom). The side of the abutment plate 722 near the clamping gap is a clamping end face for abutting the material. The clamping end face is used to contact the dried squid when clamping. Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting seat 721 is provided with limiting flanges 724 on the left and right sides of the abutment plate 722. The limiting flanges 724 are strip-shaped raised structures facing back and forth. Their outlines are adapted to the double chain structure on the third conveyor 23. They can be locked in the middle recess of the chain to form the left and right limiting structure of the double chain structure, so that the rotation of the chain can be kept stable and reliable.

[0060] Combination Figure 5 As shown, the third conveyor 23 is connected to bases 24 on both sides. The outer sides of the bases 24, facing left and right, are connected to the gantry 26 via universal couplings 25, drive shafts, and bearings, indirectly connecting to the frame 1. The drive shaft is connected to the first motor a1, and its operating speed is equal to that of the first conveyor 21. The second conveyor 22 shares the same drive shaft as the first conveyor 21. Therefore, the first, second, and third conveyors 21 and 23 can maintain a constant speed. Furthermore, the top of each base 24 is connected to the gantry 26 via two vertical spring rods 241. This allows the base 24 to drive the third conveyor 23 to move longitudinally relative to the gantry 26. The universal couplings 25 maintain a stable transmission relationship even when the third conveyor 23 moves longitudinally. The bottom of the gantry 26 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. Figure 11 The inner end of the second conveyor 22 is movably connected to the frame 1 via the first telescopic link 27, and the inner end of the third conveyor 23 is movably connected to the gantry 26 via the second telescopic link 28. This allows the inner ends of the second and third conveyors 22 and 23 to swing longitudinally within a controllable stroke range. In actual operation, for the clamping action, the second conveyor 22 acts as a passive module, and the third module acts as an active module. Furthermore, the rear ends of the second and third conveyors 22 and 23 have a larger swing amplitude, meaning that the clamping gap closer to the silk-forming position can be relatively small, resulting in better clamping stability. Correspondingly, the front ends of the first pressure plate 71 and the second pressure plate 72 are provided with rounded corners 725. Their smooth rounded corner structure not only reduces the risk of fiber structure damage when the dried squid enters the clamping gap but also provides a certain degree of guidance.

[0061] The tearing mechanism includes several blades located in the area behind the tearing station. Each blade has a pointed working end that contacts the material. A periodic transmission structure is provided between the tearing mechanism and the driving mechanism. This periodic transmission structure can drive the blades to perform point-like penetration and staggered tearing activities on the material at the tearing station.

[0062] In this embodiment, the tearing mechanism includes a first tearing mechanism 3 and a second tearing mechanism 4 arranged in front of and behind each other.

[0063] refer to Figure 9-11 The first tearing mechanism 3 includes an "n"-shaped blade holder 31. The free end of the blade holder 31 has a pivot end, which has a first pivot point 311 for connecting to the transmission shaft of the second tearing mechanism 4. The middle section (located on the front side) of the blade holder 31 is provided with several first blades 32 arranged on the left and right sides in a longitudinal posture. Second blades 33 are offset on the front side of the first blades 32. The first blades 32 and the second blades 33 have the same structure and the bottom is a pointed working end. It should be noted that the top of the second blade 33 is provided with a strip-shaped connecting hole, so that its installation position can be finely adjusted. The rear side wall of the first blade 32 is provided with a pressure foot 321. When the first blade 32 tears the end of the squid slice b1 into squid shreds b2, the pressure foot 321 can press down the squid shreds b2 located on the rear side of the first blade 32, helping the first blade 32 to complete the tearing and pulling activity, and also facilitating the timely fall of the torn squid shreds b2 for easy discharge. It should be noted that, in order to make the slicing operation more efficient and stable, the inner end of the workbench 11 panel has several notches 111, each notch 111 being aligned with the second blade 33, while the first blade 32 is positioned at the edge of the inner end of the panel, forming a stable staggered tearing action. To further improve the positional stability of the dried squid at the slicing station, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the gantry frame 26 is also equipped with a pressure rod 29. The bottom of the pressure rod 29 can effectively prevent the first blade 32 or the second blade 33 from accidentally causing the dried squid to move upwards during the reset and swinging process, thus preventing the dried squid at the shredding position from always being kept in a better state for shredding.

[0064] The tool holder 31 is also provided with a second pivot point 312, and an eccentric connecting rod linkage assembly a21 is provided between the second pivot point 312 and the second motor a2 in the drive mechanism (in conjunction with...). Figure 3As shown, the eccentric linkage assembly a21 constitutes the periodic transmission structure of the first tearing mechanism 3. This eccentric linkage assembly a21 is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can select and implement it from existing technologies based on actual operational conditions. During operation, the second motor a2 drives the blade holder 31 to reciprocate. The front side of the blade holder 31 periodically drives the first blade 32 and the second blade 33 to perform point-like penetration and staggered tearing of the dried squid edge located at the silkening position from top to bottom.

[0065] The third conveyor 23 is equipped with a linkage structure controlled by the periodic transmission structure. This linkage structure enables the second conveyor 22 and the third conveyor 23 to move closer or further apart, forming a periodic pressing structure synchronized with the tearing activity. Specifically, in conjunction with... Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 The cutter holder 31 is equipped with a follower 34, which has a folded edge structure at its bottom. The rear end of the top of the abutment plate 722 on the third conveyor 23 is equipped with an elastic pressure rod 8 that is adapted to the follower 34. When the follower 34 swings down with the cutter holder 31, it can press down the elastic pressure rod 8, forming a linkage structure that controls the periodic downward pressure of the third conveyor 23. During operation, each downward swing of the cutter holder 31 will synchronously drive the third conveyor 23 downward, and the second pressure plate 72 will also move downward synchronously, making the clamping gap smaller and clamping and fixing the squid shreds b2. The clamping and fixing time is synchronized with the sericulture process of the first blade 32, the second blade 33, and the third blade 42, and is carried out in an intermittent manner, so that the dried squid is intermittently clamped and constrained, and there is also intermittent constraint release. When the constraint is released, it can cooperate with each conveyor to complete the material feeding. In fact, it is manifested as step-by-step lateral material feeding according to a threshold speed. This method also enables the shredding operation to be automated.

[0066] Combination Figure 12As shown, the second tearing mechanism 4 includes a roller 41. The pivot shaft of the roller 41 is horizontally connected to the frame 1. The pivot shaft is connected to the second motor a2 in the drive mechanism. The first pivot point 311 of the aforementioned blade holder 31 is movably connected to the pivot shaft. Several opening slots 411 are centrally symmetrically arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the roller 41. A third blade 42 is provided at the opening slot 411 and exposed to the outside of the roller 41. The third blade 42 is clearance-fitted with the inner contour of the opening slot 411, and the inner end of the third blade 42 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the roller 41. During operation, the second motor a2 can drive the pivot shaft and drive the roller 41 to rotate. During the rotation, the third blade 42 will pass through the shredding position and perform point-like penetration and staggered tearing of the dried squid located at that position. A pusher ring 46 is pivotally mounted on the inner side of the opening slot 411. The pusher ring 46 is sleeved on the radial outer periphery of the third blade 42. A cam 43 is fixed on the pivot shaft of the roller 41. The cam 43 can rotate synchronously with the pivot shaft. A crank-connecting rod assembly (specifically including a follower crank 44 and a follower connecting rod 45 hinged to each other, with the inner end of the follower crank 44 in contact with the outer contour of the cam 43 through a roller) is provided between the outer contour of the cam 43 and each opening slot 411. The crank 44 can rotate with the cam 43 and perform a linked swinging movement, thereby periodically pushing the pusher ring 46 to the outer end of the third blade 42 to form a cleaning module for the third blade 42. Its function is to push out and clean the squid shreds b2 that are accidentally snagged on the third blade 42, so as to facilitate discharge and avoid jamming.

[0067] The discharge mechanism 5 is located at the rear end of the shredding mechanism. The output end of the discharge mechanism 5 is exposed on the outer surface of the frame 1, and the inner end of the discharge mechanism 5 is the receiving end that covers the material dropping area of ​​the shredding station. In this embodiment, the discharge mechanism 5 uses a conveyor belt electrically connected to the third motor a3 in the drive mechanism to discharge the processed squid shreds b2. This is existing technology, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can select and implement it from existing technologies according to actual operating conditions.

[0068] In the specific implementation process, the dried squid sheets are manually swung at a specific angle on the top of the workbench 11 corresponding to the first conveyor 21. The first conveyor 21 transports them to the shredding station. Then, the second conveyor 22 and the third conveyor 23 work together to perform intermittent clamping and feeding in a cyclical alternation, so that the dried squid moves inward step by step. The first shredding mechanism 3 and the second shredding mechanism 4 perform point-like penetration and staggered tearing of the dried squid at the shredding station, processing it into squid shreds b2 with an effect that is basically no different from manual tearing. The squid shreds b2 fall onto the discharge mechanism 5 for continuous output.

[0069] Example 2: Based on Example 1, with reference to Figure 13 and Figure 14The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the structure of the second pressure plate 72. In this embodiment, the first component c1 replaces the connecting seat 721 in Embodiment 1, and the second component c2 replaces the second pressure plate 72 in Embodiment 1. The first component c1 and the second component c2 are separate structures, assembled and fixed by connecting bolt c3. One end of the connecting bolt c3 is fixedly connected to the second component c2 through a threaded hole, and the other end passes through the longitudinal through hole on the first component c1 and is connected to the nut fixed on the first component c1, forming an adjustable gap connection structure between the first component c1 and the second component c2. In use, the installation height of the second component c2 can be finely adjusted by the relative position of the connection between the nut and the bolt, thereby flexibly adjusting the working distance of the clamping gap to meet the processing requirements of squid dried of various thicknesses. In other embodiments, the bottom of the connecting bolt c3 and the second component c2 can also be connected and fixed by welding, snap-fit, or other methods.

[0070] Furthermore, the clamping end face at the bottom of the second component c2 is provided with several flanged first anti-slip patterns c4. In this embodiment, each first anti-slip pattern c4 is a linear flanged structure oriented left and right, and adjacent first anti-slip patterns c4 are spaced apart in the front and back direction. This structure allows the first anti-slip patterns c4 to provide a more reliable clamping effect when the second component c2 presses down on the dried squid, reducing the phenomenon of the dried squid still slipping after clamping. In addition, the flanged structure of the first anti-slip patterns c4 can also pre-compress the dried squid during clamping, so that its fiber structure is pre-loosened before tearing, which can greatly reduce the fiber strength, improve the fiber effect, and make the processing flow smoother.

[0071] Example 3: Based on Example 2, with reference to Figure 15 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the connection structure between a single third component c5 and the second component c2. In this embodiment, the third component c5 is used instead of the first anti-slip texture c4 in embodiment 2. The third component c5 is composed of a triangular prism structure, and its radial inner end face is in clearance fit with the clamping end face. The two are connected by an elastic element c6. In this embodiment, the elastic element c6 is made of rubber. In other embodiments, the elastic element c6 can also be made of silicone, sponge, plastic, etc. The elastic element c6 prevents the third component c5 from easily over-squeezing the dried squid when applying pressure.

[0072] Furthermore, the outer radial end of the triangular prism structure of the third component c5 is a chamfered edge, and both sides of the chamfered edge have pressing slopes. Several anti-slip flange structures are provided on the pressing slopes. These anti-slip flange structures are second anti-slip patterns c7, which function essentially the same as the first anti-slip pattern c4 structure in Embodiment 2, mainly increasing friction and improving clamping stability during clamping. However, in this embodiment, the chamfered edge at the bottom of the fifth component d2 serves as the main pressure application area, while the second anti-slip patterns c7 serve as auxiliary pressure and anti-slip areas. It should be noted that several second anti-slip patterns c7 are spaced apart on the pressing slopes, and the closer to the chamfered edge area, the smaller the spacing between adjacent second anti-slip patterns c7. This ensures that under high-intensity pressure, the chamfered edge has a sufficient number of second anti-slip patterns c7 to constrain the dried squid in that area, preventing the dried squid from breaking and tearing before being torn by the contact blade, thus avoiding poor material feeding.

[0073] Example 4: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 16 and Figure 17 In this embodiment, the fourth component d1 is used instead of the connecting seat 721 in embodiment 1, and the fifth component d2 is used instead of the second pressure plate 72 in embodiment 1.

[0074] Specifically, the fourth component d1 has an "H"-shaped structure, with two first guide blocks d3 spaced apart in the middle. The first guide blocks d3 and the left and right side structures of the fourth component d1 together form the "H"-shaped structure. At the bottom of the two first guide blocks d3, there are two first guide ramps symmetrically arranged in the front-back direction, forming a "V"-shaped structure. Figure 17 As shown; below the fourth component d1, there are two fifth components d2 spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The top of each fifth component d2 is fixed with a second guide block d4. The top of the second guide block d4 is provided with a second guide slope that fits against the first guide slope. The fifth component d2 is provided with a strip hole structure parallel to the second guide slope. This strip hole structure serves as a limiting hole d5. A limiting slide rod d6 is horizontally inserted in the limiting hole d5. The two ends of the limiting slide rod d6 are respectively connected and fixed to the side walls of the fourth component d1 located on the left and right sides. The first guide slope, the second guide slope, the limiting hole d5, and the limiting slide rod d6 work together to form the steering control structure of the abutment plate 722. When the connecting seat 721 moves downward to squeeze the material, the two abutment plates 722 will move outward in a coordinated manner. In this embodiment, regarding the fourth component d1 and the fifth component d2, the fourth component d1 is a fixed structure and the fifth component d2 is a movable structure. The fourth component d1 can move up and down with the third slider, while the fifth component d2 can move laterally relative to the fourth component d1.

[0075] During operation, when the fourth component d1 descends to clamp and fix the dried squid below, the fifth component d2 initially follows the fourth component d1 downwards synchronously. When the bottom of the fifth component d2 abuts against the dried squid, as the fourth component d1 continues to descend, influenced by the interaction of the first and second guide slopes, the fifth component d2 begins to move outwards relative to the fourth component d1 in the front-back direction. The limiting slide rod d6 then moves relative to the limiting hole d5, sliding from the high position to the low position. During this process, the bottom of the fifth component d2 will always abut against the dried squid and drive it to move outwards synchronously, achieving a flattening and stretching effect on the dried squid. This allows the dried squid to be pre-shaped before entering the shredding stage, which helps improve the shredding quality.

[0076] Example 5: Based on Example 4, combined with Figure 18 In this embodiment, the limiting hole d5 is provided with several pleated grooves d7. When the limiting slide rod d6 slides relative to the limiting hole d5, a wavy path is formed. An movable gap adapted to the peak and valley amplitude of the wavy path is provided between the first guide inclined surface and the second guide inclined surface. When the fourth component d1 descends to squeeze the squid shreds b2, the fifth component d2 can move outward by vibrating left and right through the relative sliding of the limiting slide rod d6 and the limiting hole d5. This method enables the fifth component d2 to have longitudinal jumping ability when moving outward. That is, it can use its own jumping to quickly perform alternating cycles of clamping and releasing the squid in a short time during the outward movement. Compared with the fifth component d2 in embodiment 4, which always applies rigid contact to the squid when moving outward, the method in this embodiment can further improve the structural protection effect of the squid on the basis of flattening and extending the squid, and reduce the situation where the squid is structurally damaged or excessively compacted due to long-term rigid contact, affecting the subsequent sericulture process.
