Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a pounding device for a meat grinder. Background Art

[0002] Meat grinder is a device used by meat processing enterprises to process raw meat into granular meat fillings of different specifications according to different process requirements during the production process. It is suitable for various industries such as sausages, ham, luncheon meat, meatballs and other meat products. Due to the poor fluidity of meat, it is easy to accumulate at the inlet of the meat grinder without feeding, causing the meat grinder to run idle, which reduces the working efficiency of the meat grinder on the one hand and easily causes energy waste on the other hand. Therefore, it is necessary to pound the meat while feeding so that the meat can be transported in time, which is conducive to mincing the meat.

[0003] In the prior art, the pounding of meat requires manual work to constantly press the accumulated meat toward the feed inlet, or to squeeze the meat through a flat plate, so as to facilitate the transportation of the meat.

[0004] A Chinese patent document with reference publication number CN209438757U discloses a pounding device for a meat grinder, in which a pounding head and an annular scraper are alternately lifted and lowered, and the meat material coated on the side surface of the pounding head can be scraped off by the annular scraper and fall into the pounding port again.

[0005] With regard to the above-mentioned related technologies, most of the existing technologies use a flat plate to extrude meat downward so that the meat enters the auger inside the meat grinder. However, when the meat entering the meat grinder is unevenly distributed, the pounding head will first extrude the meat with higher accumulation when squeezing the meat, while the meat cannot be squeezed in places with lower accumulation. If the extrusion continues, the meat will become compact, which is not conducive to the meat entering the auger for transportation. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a pounding device for a meat grinder, aiming to solve the problem that meat is difficult to transport in the prior art.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a pounding device for a meat grinder, including a meat grinder body, a support rod is slidably connected to the meat grinder body, and a driving member for driving the support rod to slide back and forth in the horizontal direction is provided on the outside of the meat grinder body, and the driving member is connected to a first linear drive, and the first linear drive can drive the support rod to slide vertically; the bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected to a support frame, the bottom of the support frame is fixedly connected to a plurality of sleeves, the support frame is vertically slidably connected to a connecting frame, the bottom of the connecting frame is provided with a plurality of pounding rods, and the pounding rods are all slidably connected in the sleeves.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, as the meat enters, the meat to be transported can be evenly spread through the reciprocating movement of the pounding rod in the horizontal direction to facilitate its transportation. At the same time, the pounding rod can pound the meat at different positions to facilitate the feeding of the meat and improve the transportation efficiency of the meat. At the same time, the support frame moves to one side relative to the flat plate in the prior art, which reduces the impact of the flat plate on the feeding, thereby facilitating the feeding of the meat. As the pounding rod slides in the sleeve, the surface of the pounding rod can also be cleaned, which reduces the waste of meat and is facilitating the cleaning of the pounding rod.

[0009] Optionally, the pounding rod includes a connecting rod and a rotating rod, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, the rotating rod is hinged to the bottom of the connecting rod, and a receiving groove adapted to the rotating rod is provided on the supporting frame.

[0010] By adopting the above technical scheme, after the meat is pounded, the pounding rod moves downward, and when the hinge of the connecting rod and the rotating rod is separated from the sleeve, the meat provides a thrust to the rotating rod as the meat is transported, thereby tilting the rotating rod, and then the connecting frame moves downward. As the connecting frame moves downward, the rotating rod gradually tends to a horizontal state until the rotating rod enters the accommodating groove, and then the rotating rod cooperates with the supporting frame to reduce the gap on the supporting frame, thereby limiting the meat in the process of conveying the meat, reducing the probability of the meat jumping and being difficult to convey during the conveying process, thereby allowing the meat to be smoothly conveyed for easy mincing. When the meat is crushed, the support rod moves upward, and the rotating rod returns to a vertical state under the action of its own gravity for the next crushing of the meat.

[0011] Optionally, a blocking rod is provided through the rotating rod, and the blocking rod extends in the transverse direction.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the baffle rod can assist the pounding rod in pounding the material during the pounding process. At the same time, after the rotating rod rotates, the baffle rod can also cooperate with the support frame and the pounding rod to limit and block the meat material to facilitate the transportation of the meat material.

[0013] Optionally, a movable frame is laterally slidably connected to the support frame, one side of the movable frame extends out of the support frame, and a push plate for cleaning the surface of the support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the support frame can be brought into contact with the inner wall of the meat grinder body during the movement. As the support frame moves, the moving frame drives the push plate to move to clean the surface of the support frame. On the one hand, it can reduce the waste of meat, and on the other hand, it can clean the device.

[0015] Optionally, the sleeve and the support frame are both provided with a through hole for the blocking rod to pass through, the rotating rod is provided with a sliding groove for the blocking rod to slide, and a return spring is fixedly connected between the blocking rod and the rotating rod.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the return spring is conducive to reducing the probability of the blocking rod getting stuck in the meat material, which is conducive to ensuring the normal pounding work of the pounding rod.

[0017] Optionally, the meat grinder body includes a box placed on a horizontal plane, one side of the box is provided with a material guide table for feeding meat, a conveying auger is rotatably connected inside the box, and one side of the conveying auger is provided with a crushing piece for crushing meat.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the meat material is put into the box through the pounding table, and then the meat material is transported by the conveying auger so as to be crushed by the crushing piece.

[0019] Optionally, the driving member includes a rotation source fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the box body, the driving shaft of the rotation source is fixedly connected to a laterally extending driving screw, a slider is threadedly connected to the driving screw, and the first linear drive is fixedly mounted on the top of the slider.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support rod needs to reciprocate in the horizontal direction, the rotation source is started to drive the driving screw to rotate. As the driving screw rotates, the slider can move along the axis of the driving screw to facilitate the material moving work of the tamping rod.

[0021] Optionally, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, a second linear actuator is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket, and the connecting bracket is fixedly connected to a driving shaft of the second linear actuator.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pounding rod is needed to pound the meat material, the second linear drive can be started to drive the connecting frame and the pounding rod to move in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate the pounding of the meat material.

[0023] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. While evenly laying the meat in the meat grinder, it can also pound the meat at different positions in the meat grinder, so as to facilitate the transportation of the meat, improve the feeding efficiency, and at the same time help improve the efficiency of meat crushing, and facilitate the feeding of meat; 2. The pounding rod is divided into two parts. After the meat is pounded, the rotating rod can cooperate with the support frame to limit the conveying of the meat, so as to facilitate the conveying of the meat and improve the work efficiency. 3. The baffle bar can assist in pounding the material and cooperate with the support frame and the rotating rod to limit the conveying of the meat material, further improving the work efficiency; 4. The surface of the tamping rod can be cleaned through the sleeve, and the setting of the movable frame and the push plate can clean the surface of the support frame, which reduces the waste of meat and is conducive to improving the cleanliness of the device.

[0031] When the meat material needs to be pounded, first start the rotation source 31 to drive the driving screw 32 to rotate, then move the slider 33 along the driving screw 32 to the side away from the material guide platform 12, and start the first linear drive 4 to drive the connecting frame 23 and the pounding rod 24 to move upward, then put the meat material into the box body 11, and then make the pounding rod 24 reciprocate in the horizontal direction in the box body 11, so as to flatten the meat material in the box body 11, and then make the pounding rod 24 reciprocate in the vertical direction and pound the meat material, and adjust the position of the pounding rod 24 to pound the meat material in different areas, so as to facilitate the conveying of the meat material by the conveying auger 13, thereby helping to improve the efficiency of meat crushing.

[0032] When the meat is pounded, the second linear drive 81 is started to drive the connecting frame 23, the connecting rod 241 and the rotating rod 242 to move downward. After the hinge of the connecting rod 241 and the rotating rod 242 moves to the outside of the sleeve 22, the movement of the meat will provide a thrust to the rotating rod 242, thereby tilting the rotating rod 242. Then, the rotating rod 242 continues to move downward and slowly tends to a horizontal state. The rotating rod 242 enters the accommodating groove 243, so that the rotating rod 242 cooperates with the support frame 21 to limit and block the meat in transportation to facilitate the transportation of the meat.
