Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to food processing, in particular to an automatic shaping device for block-shaped meat food. Background Art

[0002] As is known, shaping is a common step in the meat processing process, especially in making meat products of specific shapes, which not only affects the appearance of the product, but also has a direct impact on the cooking time and storage performance. The consistent shape helps to ensure that the product is evenly heated during cooking to avoid the situation where some parts are overcooked and some parts are undercooked. For the shaping of meat, it is necessary to use corresponding processing equipment for shaping.

[0003] For example, the patent with announcement number CN213471461U, announcement date is June 18, 2021, and the patent name is "A meat stamping, cutting and shaping machine", which includes a conveying frame and a cutter head bracket. The closed conveyor chain is arranged on the conveying frame and is driven to rotate by a reducer with a stepper motor. The two ends of the shaping base plate are fixedly connected to the conveying chains on both sides. The cutter head bracket is supported above the middle part of the conveying frame. A vertical cylinder is fixed in the cutter head bracket. The downward pressure cylinder pushes the shaping cutter head inserted into the groove of the shaping base plate mold. The mold groove and the shaping cutter head are cylindrical structures of the same shape and size, and a serrated blade is provided on the lower end edge, which can simultaneously stamp, cut and trim multiple pieces of meat slices, greatly improving the processing efficiency and making it safer and more reliable.

[0004] In the prior art, after the meat is shaped, the scraps and the meat blocks that meet the requirements are still conveyed synchronously. Among the existing solutions, one is to sort them manually, but the work efficiency is low and it is easy to cause pollution to the meat products; the second is to set up a corresponding sorting mechanism on the conveyor line after shaping, but the cost of the shaping equipment of the entire meat product increases. For example, the patent with announcement number CN118452255B and announcement date September 20, 2024, named "A block-type meat food intelligent processing device", includes a conveying mechanism and a shaping mechanism, a carrier is installed on the conveying mechanism, and also includes an ejector and a clamping member installed on the carrier, the carrier The carrier moves along with the conveying mechanism and passes through the shaping position, the first unloading position and the second unloading position in sequence. The first unloading position is at one end of the conveying mechanism. When the carrier is at the first unloading position, the ejector ejects the meat blocks that meet the requirements. When the carrier is at the second unloading position, the clamping member releases the clamping of the scraps. The meat food intelligent processing device provided by the present invention is provided with ejector members and clamping members along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the first unloading position and the second unloading position are correspondingly arranged. When the shaping mechanism completes the shaping of the meat blocks, the shaped meat blocks are automatically sorted, which improves the production efficiency and facilitates keeping the production environment clean.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, Figure 1 To Attachment Fig. 9 The present invention is further described in detail.

[0031] An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic shaping device for block meat food, including a conveying unit 10 and a shaping unit. The conveying unit 10 drives a plurality of supporting plates 11 for placing block meat to move in a circular motion. The shaping unit includes a shaping tool 2 and a driving member 3 that drives the shaping tool 2 to cut and shape the block meat placed on each supporting plate 11. The shaping tool 2 includes two matching parts, and a first elastic member is provided between the two parts. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member, the two parts tend to abut against each other. In the shaping process of the block meat, the shaping tool 2 has two states: in the first state, the driving member 3 drives the shaping tool 2 to gradually abut against the supporting plate 11 to cut the block meat; in the second state, the shaping tool 2 is hindered by the supporting plate 11 and cannot continue to move along the cutting direction. The driving member 3 drives the two parts of the shaping tool 2 away from each other to separate the cut scraps from the meat block.

[0032] Specifically, for the convenience of description and understanding, for the cutting of block meat, the cutting direction is vertically downward, and the conveying direction of the conveying unit 10 is horizontal. The conveying unit 10 is used to convey the block meat to the shaping unit for cutting and shaping, and is also used to convey the meat blocks that meet the requirements after cutting and shaping to the collection place. The conveying unit 10 can be a chain transmission mechanism, which is a prior art and will not be repeated. A plurality of supporting plates 11 are arranged in sequence on its entire circulation path. The size of the supporting plates 11 is larger than the size of the cut and shaped meat block. The shaping tool 2 of the shaping unit has an appearance similar to that of the block meat. After the meat is cut and shaped, the shape of the meat blocks that meet the requirements is adapted, and the driving member 3 is used to drive the shaping tool 2 to cut the block meat. For example, the driving member 3 can be some mechanism with a reciprocating motion function. In the prior art, after the block meat is cut and shaped, the cut scraps and the meat blocks that meet the requirements are still conveyed synchronously. In the existing solutions, one is to sort them manually, but the work efficiency is low and it is easy to cause pollution to the meat products; the second is to set a corresponding sorting mechanism on the conveyor line after shaping, which increases the cost of the shaping equipment of the entire meat product.

[0033] Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the shaping tool 2 is made into a split structure, that is, the shaping tool 2 can be divided into two parts in half, and the two parts of the shaping tool 2 can move relative to each other, such as being slidably arranged on a track 12 together, the track 12 is fixedly connected to the shell 1, and the moving direction is cross-intersected with the conveying direction of the conveying unit 10, that is, when the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are away from each other, the cut scraps are pushed toward the left and right sides of the conveying unit 10, wherein the driving member 3 drives the shaping tool 2 to cut and shape the block of meat first, and the driving member 3 is arranged on the shell 1. During this stroke, the elastic force of the first elastic member provides resistance to prevent the two parts of the shaping tool 2 from moving away from each other, and the block of meat cannot be cut and shaped into the required meat block. After the shaped meat is cut and shaped, the shaping tool 2 contacts the supporting plate 11 and cannot move downward vertically any further, and then the driving member 3 continues to apply driving force to the shaping tool 2. At this time, the first elastic member can no longer provide sufficient resistance to prevent the two parts of the shaping tool 2 from moving apart, and then the driving member 3 drives the two parts of the shaping tool 2 to move apart, and pushes the cut edges and scraps away from the meat pieces that meet the requirements to the left and right sides of the conveying unit 10. The driving member 3 can drive the shaping tool 2 through two driving sources. One driving source drives the shaping tool 2 as a whole to move downward vertically to cut the block of meat, and the other driving source drives the two parts of the shaping tool 2 to move apart after the shaping tool 2 is blocked by the supporting plate 11, so as to push the cut edges and scraps away from the meat pieces that meet the requirements.

[0034] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that by configuring the shaping tool 2 to be composed of two matching parts, while realizing the cutting and shaping of block meat, the two parts can also be separated from each other under the action of the driving member 3, so that the cut scraps (the scraps mentioned in the subsequent text are the scraps mentioned here) and the meat blocks that meet the standards (the meat blocks mentioned in the subsequent text are the meat blocks mentioned here) are separated, thereby improving the efficiency of block meat shaping and reducing the cost of the shaping equipment.

[0035] Preferably, each part of the shaping tool 2 includes a die-cutting section 20 and an extension section 21 arranged at both ends of the die-cutting section 20. When the two parts are abutted against each other, the shape formed by the two die-cutting sections 20 is the same as the appearance of the block of meat after shaping, and the extension section 21 divides the cut scraps into two parts.

[0036] Specifically, the shape of the shaping tool 2 is adapted to the shape of the meat block that meets the requirements after cutting and shaping, while the shape of the cut scraps is irregular, and the cut scraps may be a whole. Therefore, when the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are driven away from each other, the scraps have to be torn apart. Regardless of whether the block of meat is frozen or fresh, there is a certain difficulty in tearing the scraps into two halves. Therefore, in this embodiment, each part of the shaping tool 2, in addition to the die-cutting section 20 adapted to the shape of the meat block that meets the requirements, also includes extensions arranged at both ends of the die-cutting section 20. In the process of cutting and shaping the block of meat, the two die-cutting sections 20 cut out the meat block that meets the requirements, and the extension section 21 can cut the scraps into two parts. In this way, when the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are moved away from each other, the scraps can be easily separated from the meat block.

[0037] Preferably, the driving member 3 includes a driving cylinder 30 and an extrusion block 31 arranged at the output end of the driving cylinder 30. A pressure block 32 is provided on each part of the shaping tool 2. When cutting block meat, based on the elastic force of the first elastic member, the extrusion block 31 drives the shaping tool 2 to cut the block meat by squeezing two pressure blocks 32; when the shaping tool 2 is blocked by the supporting plate 11, the extrusion block 31 squeezes each pressure block 32 to make the two parts of the shaping tool 2 move away from each other.

[0038] Specifically, in the aforementioned embodiment, the shaping tool 2 cuts and shapes the block of meat and separates the scraps from the meat after cutting and shaping through two driving sources, which undoubtedly increases the production cost. Therefore, in this embodiment, the driving member 3 is composed of a driving source, that is, a driving cylinder 30, and an extrusion block 31 is installed at the power output end of the driving cylinder 30. A pressure block 32 is set on each part of the shaping tool 2, and the wedge-shaped cooperation between the extrusion block 31 and the pressure block 32 realizes the extrusion action. When cutting the block of meat, since the shaping tool 2 is only hindered by the block of meat, the force applied by the extrusion block 31 to the pressure block 32 can realize the cutting of the block of meat by the shaping tool 2, but it is not enough to make the two parts of the shaping tool 2 move away from each other. When the shaping tool 2 contacts the supporting plate 11, the shaping tool 2 cannot cut the supporting plate 11, then the extrusion block 31 continues to squeeze the pressure block 32, and due to the wedge-shaped cooperation, it will overcome the elastic force of the first elastic member, so that the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are separated.

[0039] Furthermore, the pressure block 32 is provided with a blocking surface 320 and a pressure surface 321; the support plate 11 is fixedly connected with a first support portion 110 adapted to the size of the meat block, and also includes two second support portions 111 arranged in a sliding manner, each second support portion 111 is provided with a second elastic member between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 111 in the sliding direction, the sliding direction of the second support portion 111 is the same as the direction of relative movement of the two parts of the shaping tool 2, a cutting slit 112 for the shaping tool 2 to enter is arranged between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 111, Two protrusions 113 are arranged on the supporting portion 110, and the two protrusions 113 correspond one-to-one to the two parts of the shaping tool 2; when the shaping tool 2 enters the cutting seam 112 and does not contact the supporting plate 11, the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are squeezed by the corresponding protrusions 113, so that the blocking surface 320 is separated from the extrusion block 31; when the shaping tool 2 is blocked by the supporting portion, the pressure surface 321 contacts the extrusion block 31, and as the extrusion block 31 continues to move along the cutting direction, the two parts of the shaping tool 2 respectively push their corresponding second supporting portions 111 to send the scraps away from the meat block.

[0040] Specifically, in the aforementioned embodiment, when cutting block meat, the extruding block 31 drives the shaping tool 2 to cut the block meat by squeezing the pressed block 32. For fresh block meat or frozen block meat with low hardness, the extruding block 31 can exert force on the pressed block 32 to achieve the cutting and shaping. However, for frozen hard block meat, it will not be cut, but the extruding block 31 will squeeze the pressed block 32, so that the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are separated. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to avoid the above problem, each pressed block 32 is provided with a pressure plate 22 at the bottom of the pressing block 32. A blocking surface 320 and a pressure surface 321 are arranged on the top, the blocking surface 320 is horizontal, and the pressure surface 321 is inclined. The extrusion block 31 is in the vertical direction, and its bottom surface is parallel to the blocking surface 320, and the side surface is also inclined, so that a wedge-shaped fit can be formed between the extrusion block 31 and the pressure surface 321 to realize the extrusion action. Therefore, when cutting block meat, the bottom of the extrusion block 31 first abuts against the pressure surface 321, and there will be no interaction force between the two in directions other than the vertical direction, that is, when cutting frozen block meat at this time, the two parts of the shaping tool 2 will not be separated.

[0041] After the block of meat is cut and shaped, the cut scraps need to be pushed away from the meat block that meets the requirements, so the side of the extrusion block 31 needs to contact the pressure surface 321. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first supporting portion 110 and two second supporting portions 111 are arranged on the supporting plate 11. The first supporting portion 110 and the two second supporting portions 111 cover the supporting plate 11, and the size of the first supporting portion 110 is basically the same as the size of the meat block, and the two second supporting plates 11 are similar. The U-shaped structure is sleeved on the first supporting part 110 in two directions of pushing away the scraps, and a cutting slot 112 for the shaping tool 2 to enter is arranged between the first supporting part 110 and the two second supporting parts 111. That is, when cutting fresh block meat, due to its elasticity, after the shaping tool 2 extends into the cutting slot 112, it is easier to completely cut off the scraps and the meat block. After the extrusion block 31 contacts the blocking surface 320 and cuts and shapes the block meat, it is necessary to In order to make the side of the extrusion block 31 and the pressure surface 321 wedge-fit, two protrusions 113 are arranged on the first supporting part 110, each protrusion 113 corresponds to a part of the shaping tool 2, and the two protrusions 113 are respectively located in the cutting seam 112 between the two second supporting parts 111 and the first supporting part 110, that is, after the block meat is cut, the shaping tool 2 continues to be pushed downward, and the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are respectively squeezed by their corresponding protrusions 113. At this time, the protrusions 113 and the corresponding part of the shaping tool 2 are also wedge-fitted to form an extrusion action. The protrusions 113 give a part of the corresponding shaping tool 2 an extrusion force, so that the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are separated from each other until the blocking surface 320 is separated from the bottom surface of the extrusion block 31, and then the cylinder 30 is driven to drive the extrusion block 31 to continue to move downward, which will make the side of the extrusion block 31 contact with the pressure surface 321, and the extrusion block 31 is squeezed by the pressure block 32, and the two parts of the shaping tool 2 are separated.

[0042] When the two parts of the shaping tool 2 move away from each other, the corresponding second supporting parts 111 will be pushed to move together. In order to facilitate the scraps to slide off the second supporting parts 111 smoothly, in this embodiment, two groups of slideways 114 are provided on the supporting plate 11, each group of slideways 114 corresponds to a second supporting part 111, and two slide bars 115 are slidably provided in each slideway 114. Each slideway 114 includes a straight section and an inclined section. A slide bar 115 in each slideway 114 moves away from the inclined section when the straight section is away from the inclined section. At one end, the other slide bar 115 is at the junction of the straight section and the inclined section. Each slide bar 115 is fixedly connected to the corresponding second supporting portion 111. During the travel of the two parts of the shaping tool 2 moving away from each other, the second supporting portion 111 is in an inclined state to send the scraps away from the meat block. During the process of the driving cylinder 30 driving the extrusion block 31 to move upward, the two parts of the shaping tool 2 no longer have a thrust effect on their respective corresponding second supporting portions 111. Then, under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic member, the two second supporting portions 111 are reset.

[0043] Preferably, a flattening unit 4 is further provided at the power output end of the driving member 3. After the flattening unit 4 flattens the block of meat, the shaping unit shapes and cuts the block of meat.

[0044] Specifically, when cutting frozen meat blocks, there is no need to worry about whether the meat blocks have wrinkles or folds. However, when cutting fresh meat blocks, if wrinkles or folds appear, the cutting and shaping size will not meet the required standards. Therefore, before the fresh meat blocks are cut and shaped, they should be flattened. After the flattened meat blocks are cut and shaped by the shaping unit, their sizes will be more uniform.

[0045] Preferably, the flattening unit 4 includes a clamping member, which has two working states: in the first state, the clamping member clamps the meat block on the first supporting part 110 based on the driving force of the driving member 3; in the second state, the clamping member drives the clamped meat block to rotate based on the driving force of the driving member 3, and the meat block is flattened based on the centrifugal effect.

[0046] Specifically, for laying out the fresh block of meat, the clamping member first clamps it based on the power of the driving member 3 so that it does not contact the first supporting portion 110 and the second supporting portion 111, and then the clamping member drives the block of meat to rotate based on the power of the driving member 3, and utilizes the centrifugal effect to make the wrinkled or folded parts of the block of meat spread out, that is, the clamping member includes a laying bracket 40, and the laying bracket 40 is provided with an upper pressure rod 41 and a lower pressure rod 42, and the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 transmit power through a transmission assembly, and under the driving force of the driving member 3, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 move relative to each other, and the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are both provided with a cutting and shaping direction of the block of meat. A first slide groove 43 is formed, and a first slider 44 is slidably provided in each first slide groove 43, and the first slider 44 is fixedly connected to the paving bracket 40; an annular second slide groove 45 is provided on the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42, and the second slide groove 45 is communicated with the first slide groove 43; a third slide groove 46 with a columnar spiral structure is also provided on the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42, and a second slider 47 is slidably provided in the third slide groove 46, and the second slider 47 is fixedly connected to the transmission assembly; when the first slider 44 is in the first slide groove 43, the second slider 47 and the third slide groove 46 do not slide relative to each other; when the first slider 44 is in the second slide groove 45, the second slider 47 slides in the third slide groove 46 under the driving action of the driving member 3.

[0047] That is, the flattening bracket 40 is fixedly connected to the shell 1, and a hole is provided on the flattening bracket 40 for the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 to pass through. The upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are close to each other in the vertical direction to form a clamp for the block of meat, wherein the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are in relative motion, and the transmission assembly includes a gear rotatably arranged on the flattening bracket 40 and two racks arranged vertically sliding on the flattening bracket 40, both racks are meshed with the gears, and the teeth of the two racks are arranged oppositely, the upper pressure rod 41 is fixedly connected to one of the racks through the upper support rod 48, and the lower pressure rod 42 is fixedly connected to the other rack through the lower support rod 49, the upper support rod 48 is provided with a hole for the upper pressure rod 41 to pass through, and the lower support rod 49 is provided with a hole A hole is provided on the upper part for the lower pressure rod 42 to pass through, and the upper support rod 48 is connected to the power output end of the driving cylinder 30 through a transmission rod 50. In order to realize that the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 first approach each other to clamp the block of meat, and then the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 rotate synchronously to drive the block of meat to rotate, a first slide groove 43 is provided on the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42, and the length direction of the first slide groove 43 is parallel to the vertical direction. An annular second slide groove 45 is provided on the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42, and the second slide groove 45 is connected to the corresponding first slide groove 43, that is, the first slider 44 can enter the second slide groove 45 from the first slide groove 43 along the vertical movement, and can also re-enter the second slide groove 45 from the intersection of the second slide groove 45 and the first slide groove 43. Back to the first slide groove 43, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are also provided with a third slide groove 46 with a columnar spiral structure, that is, the upper support rod 48 is fixedly connected to the second slider 47, and the lower support rod 49 is also fixedly connected to the second slider 47. Each second slider 47 is slidably arranged in the corresponding third slide groove 46, but because the upper support rod 48 and the lower support rod 49 can only move vertically, when the second slider 47 slides in the third slide rod 115, due to the mutual squeezing effect between the two, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 will rotate. Therefore, when clamping the block of meat, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 should not rotate, that is, at this time, the first slider 44 is in the corresponding first slide groove 43 toward the third slider. The second slide groove 45 moves in the direction of the second slide groove 45. Due to the cooperation between the first slider 44 and the first slide groove 43, the second slider 47 cannot slide relative to the third slide groove 46. At this time, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are just close to each other, and they do not rotate synchronously. When the block of meat is clamped, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 need to rotate. At this time, the first slider 44 enters the second slide groove 45, and the first slider 44 can rotate circumferentially in the second slide groove 45. In this way, due to the mutual squeezing effect between the second slider 47 and the third slide groove 46, driven by the driving cylinder 30, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 rotate synchronously, so that the fresh block of meat can be spread out using centrifugal action.

[0048] Furthermore, since the wrinkles or folded parts of fresh meat blocks are difficult to determine, and may exist on both the front and back sides of the meat blocks, when the meat blocks are driven to rotate, the upper pressing rod 41 and the lower pressing rod 42 cannot rotate relative to the meat blocks during the rotation process, and the area of ​​the upper pressing rod 41 and the lower pressing rod 42 in contact with the meat blocks should be relatively small to avoid affecting the flat spreading of wrinkles and obstructions. Therefore, in this embodiment, three upper clamping rods 51 are arranged along a certain radial direction on the upper pressing rod 41, and the radial dimensions of the three upper clamping rods 51 are much smaller than the radial dimensions of the upper pressing rod 41, and the three upper clamping rods 51 are arranged on the upper pressing rod 41 in a vertical sliding manner. In the sliding direction, a third elastic member is provided between the upper clamping rod 51 and the upper pressing rod 41, and three lower clamping rods 52 are arranged along a certain radial direction on the lower pressing rod 42, and the three upper clamping rods 51 and the three lower clamping rods 52 are arranged vertically. In one-to-one correspondence, the three lower clamping rods 52 are also arranged to slide vertically on the lower pressure rod 42. In the sliding direction, a fourth elastic member is provided between the lower clamping rod 52 and the lower pressure rod 42. During operation, the front and back sides of the block of meat are centrifugally spread out. For the convenience of description and understanding, the middle one of the three upper clamping rods 51 is named No. 1, and the other two are named No. 2. The middle one of the three lower clamping rods 52 is named No. 3, and the other two are named No. 4. Moreover, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 are all equipped with electromagnets, that is, when the back side of the block of meat is spread out, No. 2 and No. 3 are magnetically attracted to each other, and when the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are close to each other, No. 2 and No. 3 clamp the block of meat, and when the front side of the block of meat is spread out, No. 1 and No. 4 are magnetically attracted to each other. In this way, when spreading out one side of the block of meat, a single-point contact is adopted accordingly.

[0049] However, after one side of the block of meat is flattened, there is no obstacle when the first slider 44 returns to the first slider 43 from the second slider 45. The second slider 47 can only slide relative to the third slider 46 when the first slider 44 reaches the end of the first slider 43 away from the second slider 45. At this time, the upper pressure rod 41 and the lower pressure rod 42 are no longer in contact with the block of meat, and the other side of the block of meat cannot be flattened. Therefore, a blocking block 55 is provided at the junction of each first slider 43 and the second slider 45. The blocks are arranged to slide radially, and in the sliding direction, the blocking block 55 and the corresponding upper pressure rod 41 are aligned. A fifth elastic member is provided between the upper and lower pressing rods 42, and the stiffness coefficient of the fifth elastic member is smaller than the stiffness coefficient of the third elastic member and also smaller than the stiffness coefficient of the fourth elastic member. An upper extrusion rod 53 is provided axially for sliding in the upper pressing rod 41, and the upper extrusion rod 53 is connected to No. 2. A lower extrusion rod 54 is provided axially for sliding in the lower pressing rod 42, and the lower extrusion rod 54 is connected to No. 3. The upper extrusion rod 53 and the corresponding blocking block 55 are wedge-shapedly matched to form an extrusion action, and the lower extrusion rod 54 and the corresponding blocking block 55 are wedge-shapedly matched to form an extrusion action, that is, when the reverse side of the block of meat is spread out flat, No. 2 and No. 3 are attracted to each other by magnetic force, and No. 2 drives the upper extrusion rod 53 to withdraw. The first slider 44 can smoothly enter the second slide groove 45 from the first slide groove 43, and the third drive lower extrusion rod 54 removes the extrusion of the resistance block 55 in the lower pressure rod 42. The resistance block 55 retracts into the lower pressure rod 42 under the elastic force of the fifth elastic member, and does not hinder the first slider 44 from entering the second slide groove 45 from the first slide groove 43. When the block of meat is spread out from the front, the first and fourth magnetic forces are attracted to each other, and the second, under the elastic force of the third elastic member, makes the upper extrusion rod 42 53 squeezes the corresponding blocking block 55, so that the blocking block 55 extends out of the upper pressure rod 41, and prevents the first sliding block 44 from returning from the second sliding groove 45 to the first sliding groove 43. Similarly, under the elastic force of the fourth elastic member, No. 3 makes the lower extrusion rod 54 squeeze the corresponding blocking block 55, so that the blocking block 55 extends out of the lower pressure rod 42, and prevents the first sliding block 44 from returning from the second sliding groove 45 to the first sliding groove 43. In this way, when the shaping tool 2 cuts and shapes the block of meat, the back side of the next block of meat to be cut and shaped can be spread out flat, and when the shaping tool 2 moves away from the supporting plate 11, the front side of the next block of meat to be cut and shaped can be spread out flat.

It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the protection of the present invention.
