[0002] Beef is a very favorite food for people. It is delicious and nutritious. Generally speaking, beef slicing is done manually. Currently, there are some beef slicing equipment on the market, including a main body, a cutting knife, a cutting groove, a push rod and a feeding push plate. The beef block is moved in the main body by the pushing of the feeding push plate, and the exposed beef is cut by the cutting knife.

[0003] For example, the specification of patent application number CN202321951109.4 discloses a rotary slicer for beef jerky processing, including a bottom plate, a support seat is fixed on the top of the bottom plate, a placement slot is provided on the top of the support seat, a cover plate is provided on the top of the placement slot, a motor is installed on one side of the bottom end of the placement slot, a blade is installed on one side of the motor, a side plate is fixed on one side of the top of the bottom plate, a collection box is provided on one side of the top of the bottom plate, and a handle is fixed on one end of the collection box. The utility model is provided with a collection box, and during slicing, the collection box can be placed under the blade by taking the handle, and the collection box can be pushed inside by pushing the handle. When the blade is slicing, the sliced ​​beef will fall downward, and the beef can be collected through the collection box, and the collection box can be conveniently pulled out by pulling the handle, so that the beef can be processed in the next process; For another example, the specification of patent application number CN202311414761.7 discloses a beef slicer, which includes a base, one end of the base is fixedly connected to a driving machine, the output end of the driving machine is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, the side wall of the mounting plate is rotatably connected to a plurality of evenly distributed rotating shafts, a slicing blade is arranged on the side wall of the mounting plate near the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft passes through one end of the slicing blade and is fixedly connected thereto, an end of the rotating shaft away from the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a passive gear, the other end of the base is fixedly connected to an angle adjustment motor, the output end of the angle adjustment motor is fixedly connected to a driving gear, the driving gear is located between the plurality of passive gears and meshes with the passive gear, and the end of the base near the driving machine is arranged A connecting plate is provided, the top of which is fixedly connected with a guide tube and a telescopic cylinder, the output end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected with a feed push plate, the feed push plate extends to the inner side of the guide tube, and by setting the slicing blade, the telescopic cylinder is started to push the beef to move intermittently in the direction of the slicing blade when in use, and the driving machine and the angle adjustment motor rotate at the same time, at this time the rotating slicing blade can cut the beef, when it is necessary to adjust the cutting range of the slicing blade, the rotation speed of the angle adjustment motor is made different from the rotation speed of the driving machine, so that the active gear can drive multiple passive gears to rotate, and after the passive gear rotates, the slicing blade is driven to rotate through the rotating shaft, so that the cutting range of the slicing blade can be adjusted.

[0004] Based on the above search and in combination with the prior art, it is found that the existing slicing equipment for beef processing is similar to the structure disclosed above, and uses an external rotating blade for slicing. However, the disadvantage is that the slicing knife occupies a large safety space during the slicing process, resulting in a correspondingly large protective structure of the slicing equipment, which in turn leads to a larger overall volume of the equipment. Therefore, a slicing equipment for beef processing is proposed to improve the above problem. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the safety space occupied by the slicing knife during the slicing process is relatively large, resulting in a correspondingly large protective structure of the slicing equipment, which in turn leads to a larger overall volume of the equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a slicing device for beef processing, comprising a supporting frame and a feeding cylinder installed on the top of the supporting frame, a feeding port is arranged on the top of the feeding cylinder, and a feeding mechanism and a slicing mechanism are arranged at opposite ends of the feeding cylinder respectively: The slicing mechanism includes a movable ring, a slicing knife and a driving unit; The movable ring is coaxially arranged with the feeding cylinder and is rotatably mounted on the end of the feeding cylinder. The slicing knife is fixed on the inner side of the movable ring and is arranged to coincide with the diameter of the movable ring. The driving unit is installed between the feeding cylinder and the movable ring to drive the movable ring to rotate with the slicing knife.

[0007] In the above-mentioned slicing equipment for beef processing, through the matching arrangement of the movable ring and the slicing knife, the driving unit can be used to drive the movable ring to rotate with the slicing knife, so as to slice the beef fed by the feeding mechanism. Compared with the external rotating slicing knife in the prior art, the use of the movable ring in combination with the slicing knife in this solution can greatly save the safety space required for slicing, thereby reducing the size of the equipment and saving floor space.

[0008] As a further supplement to the present application, the driving unit includes a driving motor, a gear and a gear block; The driving motor is installed on the outer wall of the feeding barrel, and the gear is coaxially fixed to the output end of the driving motor; A plurality of tooth blocks are provided, and the plurality of tooth blocks are equidistantly fixed on the circumferential outer wall of the movable ring, and the tooth blocks are meshed with gears; a driving motor drives the gears to rotate, and the rotating gears drive the movable ring to rotate with the slicing knife through the tooth blocks, thereby slicing the beef fed by the feeding mechanism.

[0009] As a further supplement to the present application, a conical material guide block is installed in the middle of one side of the slicing knife close to the feeding barrel, and the tip of the conical material guide block is arranged toward one side of the feeding barrel; the conical material guide block can disperse the beef located in the middle of the slicing knife, reduce the extrusion force of the beef located in the middle on the slicing knife during the feeding process, and better protect the slicing knife.

[0010] As another improvement of the present application, a splitting knife is installed at the end of the feeding tube close to the movable ring, and the splitting knife is arranged parallel to the slicing knife; before the beef reaches the slicing knife, it is first split into two halves by the splitting knife, and then sliced ​​by the slicing knife, at which time the beef can be further sliced.

[0011] As another improved supplement of the present application, the segmentation knife slides through the feeding cylinder, and a linkage assembly is installed between the output end of the driving motor and the segmentation knife; When the driving gear rotates, the driving motor drives the dividing knife to slide back and forth on the inner side of the feeding barrel through the linkage assembly; the above action can realize the dividing knife to cut the beef. Compared with the stationary dividing knife, the reciprocating sliding dividing knife in this scheme has a better cutting effect.

[0012] As another improved supplement of the present application, the linkage assembly includes a movable frame and a cam; The movable frame is fixed to one end of the dividing knife, the cam is fixed to the output end of the driving motor, and the cam is located on the inner side of the movable frame; the output end of the driving motor drives the cam to rotate, and the rotating cam drives the movable frame to slide back and forth with the dividing knife on the inner side of the feeding tube, thereby realizing the dividing knife to cut the beef.

[0013] As another improved supplement of the present application, a protective shell is installed at one end of the feeding cylinder away from the telescopic cylinder, and the movable ring, the driving motor, the gear and the movable frame are all located inside the protective shell; A guide column arranged parallel to the dividing knife is installed at the side end of the movable frame, and a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the outer side of the guide column is installed on the inner side of the protective shell.

[0015] As another improvement supplement of the present application, a protective plate is horizontally slidably installed on the inner side of the extension plate; during the operation of the equipment, the protective plate is kept away from the movable ring to leave discharge space for the sliced ​​beef; after the operation is completed, the protective plate can be manually pushed toward one side of the movable ring until it fits with the movable ring to ensure the sealing of the interior of the equipment and prevent external debris from entering and causing contamination to the interior of the equipment.

[0016] As a further supplement to the present application, a bidirectional thread segment is provided on the output end of the driving motor, a reciprocating slider is threadedly sleeved on the bidirectional thread segment, a limiting slide rod parallel to the bidirectional thread segment is installed at the bottom of the feeding barrel, and the limiting slide rod slides through the reciprocating slider; A meat guide plate is installed at the bottom end of the reciprocating slider, and the meat guide plate is tilted downward toward the side away from the feeding barrel. While the driving motor is used to drive the slicing operation, the rotating bidirectional thread segment can be used to drive the reciprocating slider to move the meat guide plate back and forth, so that the meat slices falling on the meat guide plate slide evenly to the inner side of the meat receiving device, avoiding local accumulation of meat slices, and thus there is no need for manual flattening of the meat slices in real time.

[0017] In summary, by the coordinated setting of the movable ring and the slicing knife, the driving motor can be used to drive the gear to rotate, and the rotating gear drives the movable ring to rotate with the slicing knife through the tooth block, so as to slice the beef fed by the feeding mechanism. Compared with the external rotating slicing knife in the prior art, the use of the movable ring in combination with the slicing knife in this scheme can greatly save the safety space required for slicing, thereby reducing the volume of the equipment and saving space; and the conical guide block can disperse the beef located in the middle of the slicing knife, reduce the extrusion force of the beef located in the middle on the slicing knife during the feeding process, and better protect the slicing knife; through the setting of the splitting knife, the beef is first split into two halves by the splitting knife before reaching the slicing knife, and then sliced ​​by the slicing knife, at this time, further slicing of the beef can be achieved; and the driving motor also drives the cam to rotate in the process of driving the gear to rotate, and the rotating cam drives the movable frame to slide back and forth with the splitting knife on the inner side of the feeding barrel, thereby achieving the segmentation knife to cut the beef in a sliding manner. Compared with the stationary segmentation knife, the reciprocatingly sliding segmentation knife in this scheme has a better cutting effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following describes two implementation modes of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The first implementation method: The present invention provides a slicing device for beef processing, see Figure 1-9 , including a supporting frame 1 and a feeding cylinder 2 installed on the top of the supporting frame 1, a feeding port 3 is arranged at the top of the feeding cylinder 2, and a feeding mechanism and a slicing mechanism are respectively arranged at the opposite ends of the feeding cylinder 2.

[0022] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the slicing mechanism includes a movable ring 7, a slicing knife 8 and a driving unit. The movable ring 7 is coaxially arranged with the feed barrel 2 and rotatably installed at the end of the feed barrel 2. The slicing knife 8 is fixed to the inner side of the movable ring 7 and coincides with the diameter setting of the movable ring 7. The driving unit is installed between the feed barrel 2 and the movable ring 7 to drive the movable ring 7 to rotate with the slicing knife 8 (there is no specific position requirement for the position of the driving unit on the circumferential side of the feed barrel 2 in this embodiment. The figure takes the driving unit at the top position of the circumferential side of the feed barrel 2 as an example).

[0023] Based on the above-mentioned coordinated arrangement of the movable ring 7 and the slicing knife 8, the driving unit can be used to drive the movable ring 7 to rotate with the slicing knife 8, so as to slice the beef fed by the feeding mechanism. Compared with the external rotating slicing knife in the prior art, the use of the movable ring 7 in combination with the slicing knife 8 in this solution can greatly save the safety space required for slicing, thereby reducing the size of the equipment and further saving floor space.

[0024] Regarding the drive unit, specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the driving unit includes a driving motor 9, a gear 10 and a tooth block 11. The driving motor 9 is installed on the outer wall of the feeding barrel 2. The gear 10 is coaxially fixed to the output end of the driving motor 9. A plurality of tooth blocks 11 are provided, and the plurality of tooth blocks 11 are equidistantly fixed on the circumferential outer wall of the movable ring 7. The tooth blocks 11 are meshed with the gear 10.

[0025] Based on the above structure, the driving motor 9 drives the gear 10 to rotate, and the rotating gear 10 drives the movable ring 7 to rotate with the slicing knife 8 through the gear block 11, so as to slice the beef fed by the feeding mechanism.

[0026] Since the middle part of the slicing knife 8 is relatively still, the squeezing force of the beef on this part is relatively large. Based on this problem, Figure 4 As shown, a conical guide block 12 is installed in the middle of one side of the slicing knife 8 close to the feeding barrel 2 , and the tip of the conical guide block 12 is arranged toward one side of the feeding barrel 2 .

[0027] The conical guide block 12 can disperse the beef located in the middle of the slicing knife 8, thereby reducing the squeezing force of the beef located in the middle on the slicing knife 8 during the feeding process, and better protecting the slicing knife 8.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig. 9 It is shown that a protective door 4 is detachably installed at the feeding port 3, an extension plate 17 is installed at the end of the protective shell away from the feeding barrel 2, and a protective plate 18 is installed at the end of the extension plate 17 away from the protective shell. The extension plate 17 and the protective plate 18 can improve the safety protection effect during the operation of the equipment.

[0029] In addition, the protective plate 18 is horizontally slidably installed on the inner side of the extension plate 17. During the operation of the equipment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective plate 18 is in a state away from the movable ring 7 to leave a discharge space for the sliced ​​beef; after the operation is completed, Fig. 9 As shown, the protective plate 18 can be manually pushed toward one side of the movable ring 7 until it fits with the movable ring 7, thereby ensuring the sealing inside the device and preventing external debris from entering and causing pollution to the inside of the device.

[0030] Second implementation method: Based on the first embodiment, the present embodiment adds the following structure, so that the present application has the effect of uniform material feeding, and the specific configuration is as follows: Fig.10 and Fig.11 It is shown that a bidirectional thread segment 19 is arranged on the output end of the driving motor 9 (based on the working principle requirements of this embodiment, it is preferred to arrange the driving unit at the bottom end position of the circumferential side of the feeding barrel 2), a reciprocating slider 20 is threadedly sleeved on the bidirectional thread segment 19, a limiting slide bar 22 parallel to the bidirectional thread segment 19 is installed at the bottom of the feeding barrel 2, the limiting slide bar 22 slides through the reciprocating slider 20, and a meat guide plate 21 is installed at the bottom end of the reciprocating slider 20, and the meat guide plate 21 is arranged to be tilted downward toward the side away from the feeding barrel 2.

[0031] While the driving motor 9 is used to drive the slicing operation, the rotating bidirectional threaded segment 19 can be used to drive the reciprocating slider 20 to move the meat guide plate 21 back and forth, so that the meat slices falling on the meat guide plate 21 can slide evenly to the inner side of the meat receiving device to avoid local accumulation of meat slices, thereby eliminating the need for manual flattening of the meat slices in real time. The surface of the meat guide plate 21 is provided with a non-stick coating to ensure that the meat slices can slide smoothly.

[0032] The third implementation method: Based on Implementation 1, this implementation adds the following structure, so that this application has a further slicing effect, and the specific configuration is as follows: Figure 5-8 As shown, a splitting knife 13 is installed at the end of the feeding tube 2 close to the movable ring 7, and the splitting knife 13 is arranged parallel to the slicing knife 8; before the beef reaches the slicing knife 8, it is first split into two halves by the splitting knife 13, and then sliced ​​by the slicing knife 8, at which time the beef can be further sliced.

[0033] Among them, in order to improve the cutting effect of the dividing knife 13 on the beef, the dividing knife 13 slides through the feeding tube 2, and a linkage component is installed between the output end of the driving motor 9 and the dividing knife 13. When the driving gear 10 rotates, the driving motor 9 drives the dividing knife 13 to slide back and forth on the inner side of the feeding tube 2 through the linkage component; the above action can realize the sliding cutting of the beef by the dividing knife 13. Compared with the stationary dividing knife 13, the reciprocating sliding dividing knife 13 in this scheme has a better cutting effect.

[0034] Regarding linkage components, specifically, Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the linkage assembly includes a movable frame 14 and a cam 15. The movable frame 14 is fixed to one end of the dividing knife 13, and the cam 15 is fixed to the output end of the driving motor 9. The cam 15 is located on the inner side of the movable frame 14. The output end of the driving motor 9 drives the cam 15 to rotate, and the rotating cam 15 drives the movable frame 14 to slide back and forth with the dividing knife 13 on the inner side of the feeding tube 2, thereby realizing the dividing knife 13 to cut the beef by sliding.

[0035] Among them, a protective shell is installed at the end of the feeding barrel 2 away from the telescopic cylinder 5, the movable ring 7, the driving motor 9, the gear 10 and the movable frame 14 are all located on the inner side of the protective shell, the side end of the movable frame 14 is installed with a guide column 16 arranged parallel to the dividing knife 13, and the inner side of the protective shell is installed with a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the outer side of the guide column 16.

[0036] In this solution, by the coordinated arrangement of the movable ring 7 and the slicing knife 8, the driving motor 9 can be used to drive the gear 10 to rotate, and the rotating gear 10 drives the movable ring 7 to rotate with the slicing knife 8 through the tooth block 11, so as to slice the beef fed by the feeding mechanism. Compared with the external rotating slicing knife in the prior art, the use of the movable ring 7 in this solution in conjunction with the slicing knife 8 can greatly save the safety space required for slicing, thereby reducing the volume of the equipment and further saving the occupied space, and the conical guide block 12 can disperse the beef located in the middle of the slicing knife 8, reduce the extrusion force of the beef located in the middle on the slicing knife 8 during the feeding process, and better protect the slicing knife 8; In the present solution, by setting the dividing knife 13, the beef is first divided into two halves by the dividing knife 13 before reaching the slicing knife 8, and then sliced ​​by the slicing knife 8, at which time the beef can be further sliced; and the driving motor 9 also drives the cam 15 to rotate during the rotation of the driving gear 10, and the rotating cam 15 drives the movable frame 14 to slide back and forth with the dividing knife 13 on the inner side of the feeding tube 2, thereby realizing the sliding cutting of the beef by the dividing knife 13. Compared with the stationary dividing knife 13, the reciprocating sliding dividing knife 13 in the present solution has a better cutting effect.

[0037] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
