DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations.

[0018] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly stipulated and limited, terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two elements.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a food processing and cutting device of the present embodiment is used for cutting cylindrical food 6, and can be used for cutting into sections or slices. Specifically, the food processing and cutting device includes a cutting table 1, a driving mechanism, an elastic mechanism and a cutting knife 2. The cutting table 1 is tilted to facilitate the sliding and collection of cut food. Specifically, a conveyor belt can be arranged under the cutting table 1; the cutting knife 2 is perpendicular to the working surface of the cutting table 1, and the driving mechanism is connected to the cutting knife 2 to drive the cutting knife 2 to reciprocate back and forth. The driving mechanism drives the cutting knife 2 to reciprocate back and forth to cut the cylindrical food 6.

[0020] An elastic mechanism is provided at the bottom of the cutting table 1, and the cutting knife 2 cuts the food downward and contacts the cutting table 1. Since the elastic mechanism can provide a buffer for the cutting table 1, the cutting table 1 can be pressed down obliquely to a certain extent, avoiding hard contact between the cutting knife 2 and the cutting table 1 and the impact of the cutting table 1 on the cutting knife 2, which can extend the service life of the cutting knife 2 and ensure that the cylindrical food is completely cut by the cutting knife 2. After being pressed down obliquely, the cutting table 1 will quickly reset after the cutting knife 2 leaves. During the reset process, the food on the cutting table 1 can be further shaken to make it slide smoothly.

[0021] In order to achieve the above-mentioned effect, the elastic mechanism includes a mounting plate 31, a support tube 32 and an elastic member 33. The support tube 32 and the elastic member 33 are both arranged on the mounting plate 31. The support tube 32 is located at the periphery of the elastic member 33. The elastic member 33 includes two disc springs arranged opposite to each other. The lower disc spring is installed on the mounting plate 31. The cutting table 1 is connected to the upper disc spring. The height of the elastic member 33 in the natural state is greater than the height of the support tube 32. When the cutting table 1 is under pressure, the two disc springs will be compressed synchronously, so that the height of the disc springs is compressed. After the pressure on the cutting table 1 disappears, the disc spring recovers and lifts up the cutting table 1.

[0022] In order to minimize the shaking of the cutting table 1 during the pressing process, the height and diameter of the disc spring should be set to ensure that when the height of the two disc springs is compressed to be equal to the height of the support tube 32, the diameter of the elastic member 33 is equal to the inner diameter of the support tube 32. Figure 4As shown, in this state, since the position of the disc spring is restricted, the cutting table 1 will remain stable, and in this state, the force of the cutting table 1 will be directly borne by the support tube 32, while the elastic member 33 bears almost no force, so it can also protect the elastic member 33 and prevent the elastic member 33 from being over-compressed and causing failure.

[0023] The food processing and cutting device further comprises an auxiliary mechanism, which is installed on one side of the cutting table 1. The auxiliary mechanism can spray water or gas onto the working surface of the cutting table 1. The sprayed water or gas can further help the food that has not fallen off after being cut on the cutting table 1 to slide off. The specific selection of the auxiliary mechanism is selected according to different foods. Specifically, for foods that need to be washed after cutting, or for foods with high density, it is best to use an auxiliary mechanism that sprays water; and for foods that cannot be washed after cutting, or for foods with low density, it is best to use an auxiliary mechanism that sprays air.

[0024] In order to better realize automatic feeding, the food processing and cutting device also includes a feeding mechanism, which is installed upstream of the cutting table 1. The feeding mechanism includes a pushing frame 41, a limiting plate 42, a front fixing plate 43 and a rear fixing plate 44 arranged in sequence, wherein the limiting plate 42, the front fixing plate 43 and the rear fixing plate 44 are arranged parallel to each other, a limiting hole is provided on the limiting plate 42, and through holes are opened on the front fixing plate 43 and the rear fixing plate 44, and the through holes and the limiting holes are located on the same straight line.

[0025] A first clamping assembly 45 is provided on the pushing frame 41, the limit plate 42 and the rear fixed plate 44 are connected by a telescopic member, and a second clamping assembly 48 is provided between the front fixed plate 43 and the rear fixed plate 44; the telescopic member includes an outer cylinder 46 and a slide rod 47 slidably installed inside the outer cylinder 46, a spring is installed inside the outer cylinder 46, and the spring is in contact with one end of the slide rod 47 located inside the outer cylinder 46.

[0026] The size of the limiting hole is adapted to the size of the cylindrical food 6, that is, the limiting hole fits the outer wall of the cylindrical food 6. Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the cylindrical food 6 passes through the pushing frame 41, the limiting hole of the limiting plate 42, the through hole of the front fixing plate 43 and the through hole of the rear fixing plate 44 in sequence, and the telescopic member is in a natural state.

[0027] The first clamping assembly 45 is closed and contacts the outer wall of the cylindrical food 6 to fix it, and the second clamping assembly 48 is opened and does not contact the outer wall of the cylindrical food 6, and then the push frame 41 moves toward the limit plate 42. After the push frame 41 moves a certain distance, it first contacts the limit plate 42. At this time, Figure 2 During this process, since the limiting plate 42 does not move, the cylindrical food 6 moves relative to the limiting hole on the limiting plate 42, and the limiting hole limits the position of the cylindrical food 6 to prevent it from bending.

[0028] Then the push frame 41 pushes the limit plate 42 to move toward the front fixed plate 43, and the spring is gradually compressed in this process until the travel of the push frame 41 ends. Figure 3 As shown, the total distance that the cylindrical food 6 has been pushed so far is equal to the entire stroke of the pushing frame 41. The distance of this stroke can be adjusted, but it should be ensured that the contraction limit of the telescopic member is not exceeded during this process to avoid damage to the telescopic member. During this process, since the limiting plate 42 moves synchronously, the cylindrical food 6 is relatively stationary relative to the limiting hole on the limiting plate 42. The limiting hole can also limit the position of the cylindrical food 6 to prevent it from bending.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, when the travel of the pushing frame 41 is completed, the second clamping assembly 48 is closed and contacts the outer wall of the cylindrical food 6 to fix it, the first clamping assembly 45 is opened, and then the pushing frame 41 moves in the opposite direction to reset. Under the elastic force of the spring, the telescopic member drives the limiting plate 42 to reset. During this process, since the cylindrical food 6 does not move, the limiting hole of the limiting plate 42 moves relative to the cylindrical food 6, and the limiting hole limits the position of the cylindrical food 6 to prevent it from bending.

[0030] After the push frame 41 is completely reset, the first clamping assembly 45 is closed and contacts the outer wall of the cylindrical food 6 to fix it, and the second clamping assembly 48 is opened. The above steps are repeated to achieve continuous feeding, and the limiting hole always limits the cylindrical food 6 during the feeding process.

[0031] The through holes of the front fixing plate 43 and the rear fixing plate 44 can also be set to the same size as the limiting holes. During the feeding process, the through holes can also limit the cylindrical food, further ensuring the limiting effect and preventing the cylindrical food from bending and deformation.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, for cylindrical foods with a softer texture (such as processed meat foods) or for foods that are not standard cylindrical (such as yam), a circle of air bags 49 can be set on the inner walls of the through holes and the limiting holes. The air bags 49 have a certain degree of softness and compressibility to protect the food or adapt to its shape.

[0033] It should be noted that cylindrical foods are not limited to yam and cylindrical meat processed foods, but may also be other foods that are similar in shape to a cylinder.

[0034] For foods that need to be peeled or whose uneven surfaces need to be corrected, the food processing and cutting device also includes a peeling mechanism, which is arranged between the feeding mechanism and the cutting table 1. The peeling mechanism includes an outer skin baffle 51 and an annular cutter 52. The annular cutter 52 is arranged at the center of the outer skin baffle 51. When the feeding mechanism pushes the food to feed, its outer skin is peeled off by the annular cutter 52 and blocked by the outer skin baffle 51 and will not enter the cutting table 1. At the same time, since the peeling mechanism will generate a certain resistance when peeling, it will exert a certain pressure on the food. The feeding mechanism of this embodiment can effectively avoid the bending and deformation of the stressed food due to the limiting during the feeding process.

[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optional implementation modes. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
