[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0039] Example 1, with reference to Figure 1-5 and Figure 9-10 , a conveying device for industrialized food processing, comprising a linear conveyor 2 fixedly mounted on the top outer wall of a support base 1, a flat conveyor belt 37 mounted on the linear conveyor 2, a visual triggering mechanism and an automatic slitting mechanism;

[0040] In this embodiment, an inverted U-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the linear conveyor 2, and a protective shell 4 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the inverted U-shaped plate 3. The visual triggering mechanism includes an industrial camera 5 fixedly mounted on the top inner side wall of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 and a control panel 13 fixedly mounted on the front outer wall of the inverted U-shaped plate 3.

[0041] Furthermore, two light sources 6 are symmetrically installed on the top inner side wall of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 with the industrial camera 5 as the center. The arrangement of the two light sources 6 can provide the industrial camera 5 with a sufficient shooting field of view;

[0042] In this embodiment, the automatic slitting mechanism includes a push rod motor 7 rotatably mounted on the top of the inverted U-shaped plate 3, a connecting plate 8 fixedly connected to the output end of the push rod motor 7, a cutting tool mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 8, a frequency converter 12 fixedly mounted on the front outer wall of the protective shell 4, and an angle fine-tuning component. The industrial camera 5 and the automatic slitting mechanism are both electrically connected to the control panel 13 and controlled by it;

[0043] Furthermore, the angle fine-tuning assembly includes a stepper motor 9 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the protective shell 4, a worm 10 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stepper motor 9, and a worm wheel 11 fixedly mounted on the upper part of the push rod motor 7. The output shaft of the stepper motor 9 passes through one side of the protective shell 4. The worm 10 and the worm wheel 11 are meshed with each other and are both located inside the protective shell 4.

[0044] Furthermore, the cutting tool includes a hollow cutting tool holder 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the connecting plate 8, a contraction structure provided in the hollow cutting tool holder 14, and a slitting knife 15 slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow cutting tool holder 14;

[0045] Furthermore, the retraction structure includes a bidirectional screw 16 rotatably installed in the hollow knife seat 14, two threaded sliders 17 symmetrically screwed on the two opposite threaded ends of the bidirectional screw 16, two linkage oblique rods 18 symmetrically hinged at the bottom of the two threaded sliders 17, a limiting slide 19 opened on the inner wall of the top of the hollow knife seat 14 and an anti-slip rotating cap 20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of one end of the bidirectional screw 16, the outer walls of the two threaded sliders 17 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting slide 19, and the bottom ends of the two linkage oblique rods 18 are hinged to the top of the slitting knife 15;

[0046] When the retracting structure is in use, the bidirectional screw 16 is controlled to rotate forward and reverse through the anti-slip rotating cap 20, and then under the limit of the limiting slide groove 19, the two threaded sliders 17 threadedly connected with the bidirectional screw 16 will move closer to or away from each other, and then under the hinged linkage of the two linked oblique rods 18, the slitting knife 15 will slide up and down in the hollow knife seat 14, so that the retracting effect of the slitting knife 15 can be achieved. Then, through the setting of the retracting structure, the slitting knife 15 can be retracted into the hollow knife seat 14 during the replacement of the slitting knife 15, so that the situation of accidental injury by the sharp blade exposed to the outside due to improper operation during the knife changing process can be avoided, thereby effectively improving the safety factor of the knife changing operation;

[0047] During the specific implementation of this embodiment: the food transported on the flat conveyor belt 37 is visually inspected by the industrial camera 5, and the visual inspection information is then fed back to the control panel 13, which controls the operation of the automatic slitting mechanism. At this time, the push rod motor 7 controls the slitting knife 15 to perform reciprocating slitting action, and the frequency converter 12 can control the push rod motor 7, thereby adjusting the reciprocating slitting frequency of the slitting knife 15, and the angle fine-tuning component can fine-tune the slitting angle of the slitting knife 15. In this way, not only the automatic slitting processing of the food on the conveyor line is realized, but also the slitting frequency and slitting angle can be flexibly adjusted to meet the slitting processing requirements of different foods.

[0048] Example 2, reference Figure 1 and Figure 6-8 This embodiment is optimized based on the first embodiment, specifically: a conveying device for industrialized food processing, further comprising a waste cleaning mechanism, the waste cleaning mechanism comprising a blowing component and a suction component;

[0049] In this embodiment, the blowing assembly includes a blowing box 21 fixedly connected to the front outer wall of the linear conveyor 2, a blowing fan 22 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the blowing box 21, a blowing hood 23 fixedly embedded in the front of the linear conveyor 2, and a dust filter 24 fixedly connected to the inside of the blowing hood 23. The blowing box 21 and the blowing hood 23 are connected by a blowing pipe. By providing the dust filter 24 on the blowing hood 23, it is possible to prevent the air blown by the blowing hood 23 from carrying dust and contaminating the food on the flat conveyor belt 37.

[0050] In this embodiment, the suction assembly includes an air suction box 25 fixedly connected to the rear outer wall of the linear conveyor 2, an air suction fan 26 fixedly installed at the bottom of the air suction box 25, a material collection drawer 27 movably installed in the air suction box 25, a filter 28 fixedly connected to the material collection drawer 27, and an air suction hood 29 fixedly embedded in the rear of the linear conveyor 2. The air suction box 25 and the air suction hood 29 are connected by an air suction pipe.

[0051] During the specific implementation of this embodiment: air is supplied into the blowing box 21 by the blowing fan 22, and then blown out by the blowing hood 23. At the same time, the suction force generated by the suction fan 26 and the suction hood 29 can quickly suck the cut food residue waste into the suction box 25. Under the filtration and interception of the filter screen 28, the sucked-in food residue waste can be uniformly collected in the collection drawer 27. In this way, by blowing and sucking the material at the same time, the food residue waste on the flat conveyor belt 37 can be effectively processed, thereby improving the cleanliness and preventing the food residue waste from contaminating other subsequent foods.

[0052] Example 3, reference Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 11, This embodiment is optimized on the basis of embodiment 1, specifically: a conveying device for industrialized food processing, further comprising a multi-angle material guiding mechanism;

[0053] In this embodiment, the multi-angle material guiding mechanism includes an endless conveyor 30 provided at the end of the linear conveyor 2, an endless conveyor belt 31 installed in the endless conveyor 30, a mounting plate 32 welded to the side wall of the support base 1, a servo control assembly, and a transmission shaft 33 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 32;

[0054] Furthermore, the top end of the transmission shaft 33 is concentrically welded to the bottom outer wall of the ring conveyor 30, and a material guide port is provided at one end of the ring conveyor 30;

[0055] Furthermore, the servo control assembly includes a servo motor 34 fixedly mounted on the bottom outer wall of the mounting plate 32, a driving bevel gear 35 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 34, and a driven bevel gear 36 fixedly mounted on the lower portion of the transmission shaft 33 and meshing with the driving bevel gear 35. The servo motor 34 is electrically connected to the control panel 13 and is controlled thereby.

[0056] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, the driving bevel gear 35 is controlled to rotate by the servo motor 34, and then the driven bevel gear 36 meshing with the driving bevel gear 35 drives the ring conveyor 30 fixed at the top of the transmission shaft 33 to rotate, thereby enabling the material guiding angle of the ring conveyor 30 to be flexibly adjusted, achieving a multi-angle material guiding effect, so that the cut food can be flexibly guided to processing lines in different directions according to the industrial processing requirements of different foods.

[0057] The use process of the present invention is as follows: first, the industrial camera 5 performs visual inspection on the food conveyed on the flat conveyor belt 37, and then the visual inspection information is fed back to the control panel 13. After processing, the control panel 13 automatically controls the operation of the automatic cutting mechanism and the multi-angle material guiding mechanism according to the set program;

[0058] Secondly, the push rod motor 7 controls the slitting knife 15 to perform a reciprocating slitting action to automatically cut the conveyed food. The frequency converter 12 can control the push rod motor 7, and then can adjust the reciprocating slitting frequency of the slitting knife 15. The stepping motor 9 also controls the rotation of the worm 10. Then the worm gear 11 engaged with the worm 10 drives the push rod motor 7 to rotate a certain angle, and then can fine-tune the slitting angle of the slitting knife 15. In this way, not only the automatic slitting process of the food on the conveyor line is realized, but also the slitting frequency and slitting angle can be flexibly adjusted to meet the slitting processing requirements of different foods.

[0059] Furthermore, air is supplied into the blowing box 21 by the blowing fan 22 and then blown out by the blowing hood 23. At the same time, the suction force generated by the suction fan 26 allows the suction hood 29 to quickly suck the cut food residue and waste into the suction box 25. The food residue and waste are filtered and intercepted by the filter 28 and can be collected in the collecting drawer 27. In this way, by blowing and sucking at the same time, the food residue and waste on the flat conveyor belt 37 can be effectively processed, thereby improving the cleanliness and preventing the food residue and waste from contaminating other subsequent foods.

[0060] Finally, the driving bevel gear 35 is controlled to rotate by the servo motor 34, and then the driven bevel gear 36 engaged with the driving bevel gear 35 drives the ring conveyor 30 fixed at the top of the transmission shaft 33 to rotate, so that the material guiding angle of the ring conveyor 30 can be flexibly adjusted, achieving a multi-angle material guiding effect, so that the cut food can be flexibly guided to processing lines in different directions according to the industrial processing requirements of different foods.
