[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the invention.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 As shown, an automatic meat cutting machine includes a frame 1, a meat block positioning component 2, a positioning component rotation mechanism 3, a rotating blade 4, a blade linear motion mechanism 5, a sensor 6, and a meat horizontal conveying mechanism. The meat block positioning component 2 has several slots 21 for fixing meat blocks and clearance slots 22 for avoiding the rotating blade 4 evenly distributed on it. The slots 21 and clearance slots 22 are connected. The meat block positioning component 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and connected to the rotating part of the positioning component rotation mechanism 3. The sensor 6 is provided above the meat block positioning component 2, and the rotating blade 4 for cutting meat is provided in front of the meat block positioning component 2. The rotating blade 4 is connected to the moving part of the blade linear motion mechanism 5. A meat horizontal conveying mechanism for horizontally moving meat is provided above the frame 1. The blade linear motion mechanism 5, the sensor 6, the positioning component rotation mechanism 3, the rotating blade 4, and the meat horizontal conveying mechanism are all electrically connected to a PLC.

[0024] When the meat piece is placed in the slot 21, it can prevent the meat piece from shaking when the round blade 42 cuts. When the round blade 42 is inserted forward into the clearance slot 22, the meat piece can be completely cut in half.

[0025] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the meat block positioning component 2 consists of a horizontal plate 23, a support rod 24, and a base 25. Two parallel horizontal plates 23 are set up vertically and are fixedly connected to the base 25 by the support rod 24. The base 25 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. The horizontal plate 23 is provided with a C-shaped groove, and the two C-shaped grooves set up vertically form a slot 21.

[0026] The positioning component rotation mechanism 3 is a motor, and the output shaft of the positioning component rotation mechanism 3 is fixed on the base 25.

[0027] As attached Figure 3As shown, the rotary cutter 4 includes a blade rotary motor 41, a circular blade 42, a blade guard 43, and a base 44. The base 44 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The blade rotary motor 41 and the blade guard 43 are fixed on the base 44. The circular blade 42 is rotatably connected to the base 44 and placed inside the blade guard 43. The output shaft of the blade rotary motor 41 is fixed on the circular blade 42.

[0028] The linear motion mechanism 5 of the cutting tool is an electric cylinder. The cylinder body of the linear motion mechanism 5 is fixed on the frame 1, and the piston rod of the linear motion mechanism 5 is fixed on the base 44.

[0029] Sensor 6 is a laser sensor, and sensor 6 is fixed to frame 1 by a U-shaped bracket.

[0030] The meat horizontal conveying mechanism is an overhead chain conveyor, with several hooks connected sequentially to the chain of the overhead chain conveyor to hook the meat pieces.

[0031] The frame 1 is equipped with a horizontal flow channel for conveying meat pieces. The horizontal flow channel passes between the meat piece positioning component 2 and the rotating cutter 4, and barriers 7 are fixed on both sides of the horizontal flow channel. The meat pieces flow within the horizontal flow channel with barriers 7, which can prevent workers from touching them.

[0032] As attached Figure 4 As shown, a waste chute 8 and a waste collection box 9 are fixed inside the frame 1. The inlet end of the waste chute 8 is located below the meat block positioning component 2, and the waste collection box 9 is located below the outlet end of the waste chute 8. The waste and wastewater generated after cutting will flow into the waste collection box 9 along the waste chute 8 for collection, thus avoiding environmental pollution from waste and wastewater.

[0033] The working principle of this application is as follows: The horizontal meat conveying mechanism conveys meat pieces sequentially along the horizontal flow channel between the meat piece positioning component 2 and the rotating cutter 4. When a meat piece is conveyed to the meat piece positioning component 2, the positioning component rotation mechanism 3 drives the meat piece positioning component 2 to rotate. At this time, the meat piece is placed in the slot 21, and the slot provides back support for the meat piece. The meat piece is then guided to the cutting position. When the meat piece is in place, the hook that catches the meat piece triggers the sensor 6, which transmits a signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the horizontal meat conveying mechanism and the positioning component rotation mechanism 3 to stop, and then starts the cutter linear motion mechanism 5 and the rotary motor 41. The cutter linear motion mechanism 5 drives the rotating circular blade 42 to move forward to the meat piece, cuts the meat piece, and then resets it. Then the meat piece positioning component 2 continues to rotate, and the horizontal meat conveying mechanism moves the next uncut meat piece forward to the cutting position. The above steps are repeated to cut the meat pieces on the horizontal meat conveying mechanism one by one.

[0034] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
