Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water level gauges, and more particularly to an automatic cheese cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Cheese, also known as dry cheese, is a fermented milk product. Its properties are similar to those of common yogurt in that they are both made through a fermentation process and contain health-promoting lactic acid bacteria. However, cheese has a higher concentration than yogurt, is closer to solid food, and thus has a more abundant nutritional value. During the production and processing of cheese, a cutting mechanism is required to divide large pieces of cheese into several pieces of cheese blocks for packaging for daily use by people.

[0003] The inventor believes that when the existing cutting mechanism cuts cheese, due to the stickiness of some cheese, after a long time of cutting, the surface of the cutter in the cutting mechanism will be stained with cheese. The existing cutting mechanism cannot clean the cheese on the surface of the cutter during the cutting process, and at the same time, the cutting efficiency of the existing cutting mechanism is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic cheese cutting machine to solve the problems that when the existing cutting mechanism cuts cheese, due to the stickiness of some cheese, after a long time of cutting, the surface of the cutter in the cutting mechanism will be stained with cheese, the existing cutting mechanism cannot clean the cheese on the surface of the cutter during the cutting process, and at the same time, the cutting efficiency of the existing cutting mechanism is relatively low.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technology: An automatic cheese cutting machine includes a workbench. On one side of the upper surface of the workbench, there is a support frame. On both sides of the support frame, there are guide frames. Inside the support frame, there are two groups of cleaning mechanisms. The two sides of the two groups of cleaning mechanisms extend to both sides of the support frame and are sleeved on the surfaces of the two guide frames. On both sides of the top of the support frame, there are lower expanding rods connected. One side of one of the lower expanding rods is connected with a first driving mechanism. On the upper surface of the workbench, there is a feeding port;

[0006] A downward cutting assembly includes descending rods passing through both sides of the top of the support frame. On one side of the two descending rods, there are toothed plates connected. The two toothed plates are connected through a linkage mechanism. At the bottom of the two descending rods, there are cutters fixedly connected. On both sides of the top of the two cutters, there are first penetrating rods connected. The surface of the first penetrating rod is sleeved with a first spring and the top is fixedly connected with a stopper.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The cleaning mechanism includes two outer shell rods slidably connected to both sides of the support frame. On both sides between the two outer shell rods, second springs are fixedly connected and the second springs are sleeved on the surface of the guide frame. In the middle of the opposite surfaces of the two outer shell rods, wiping members are embedded. On the opposite side of the wiping surface of the wiping member, a second penetrating rod is fixedly connected. The other end of the second penetrating rod extends to the outer surface of the outer shell rod and is connected to a limiting plate. A third spring is sleeved on the surface of the second penetrating rod and is located between the inner side wall of the outer shell rod and the surface of the wiping member.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The linkage mechanism includes a bracket installed in the middle of the top of the support frame. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the bracket. On both sides of the surface of the rotating rod, gears meshing with two toothed plates are fixedly connected.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The first driving mechanism includes a support clamp installed on the top of the support frame. A turntable is rotatably connected between the two support clamps. On one side of the two support clamps, a side plate is fixedly connected. A first motor is connected to the surface of the side plate. The output end of the first motor is connected to the turntable. On the top of the other side of the turntable, a sliding wheel rod is fixedly connected. A lifting frame is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding wheel rod. One side of the lifting frame is connected to the surface of the lower expanding rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: On one side of the bottom of the workbench, a second driving mechanism is fixedly connected. The second driving mechanism includes a cross frame, a second motor is connected to one side of the cross frame, a lead screw is arranged inside the cross frame, and one end of the lead screw penetrates through the cross frame and is connected to the output end of the second motor.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: A pushing mechanism is sleeved on one side of the workbench. The pushing mechanism includes a pushing frame sleeved on one side of the workbench. Folding plates are connected to both sides of the pushing frame. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the surfaces of the two folding plates. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod. The bottom of the pushing frame is threadedly connected to the lead screw.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: The positions of the two cutting knives are in the middle of the two cleaning mechanisms, and the bottom of the lower expanding rod penetrates into the inside of the cleaning mechanism.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. Through the cleaning mechanism, the lower expansion rod, and the first driving mechanism, when in use, the first motor drives the turntable to rotate. The rotation of the turntable drives the sliding wheel rod to rotate following the turntable. When the sliding wheel rod rotates, it drives the lifting frame to move linearly up and down. When the lifting frame moves linearly up and down, it drives one of the lower expansion rods to move up and down. When the lower expansion rod rises, it drives the cutter at its bottom to move up. At the same time, the lower expansion rod continuously rises between the two outer shell rods, adjusting the distance between the two wiping parts. Then the two wiping parts contact the two side surfaces of the rising cutter, thereby cleaning the cheese adhered to the two side surfaces of the cutter, and thus cleaning the cutter in a timely manner during the cutting process.

[0015] 2. Through the setting of the first driving mechanism, the lower cutting assembly, and the linkage mechanism, when in use, when the lifting frame moves linearly up and down, it drives one of the lower expansion rods to move up and down. Then, through the linkage mechanism, the two lower expansion rods move reciprocally up and down in a replacement manner. When the two lower expansion rods move reciprocally up and down in a replacement manner, they drive the two descending rods to move reciprocally up and down in a replacement manner. Then, when the two descending rods move reciprocally up and down in a replacement manner, they drive the two cutters to continuously replace and descend to cut the cheese, thereby increasing the speed of cheese cutting and thus improving the cutting efficiency.

Detailed implementation manners

[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1-9 , the automatic cheese cutting machine provided in this embodiment includes a workbench 1. On one side of the upper surface of the workbench 1, there is a support frame 2. On both sides of the support frame 2, there are guide frames 3. Inside the support frame 2, there are two groups of cleaning mechanisms 4. The two sides of the two groups of cleaning mechanisms 4 extend to both sides of the support frame 2 and are sleeved on the surfaces of the two guide frames 3. On both sides of the top of the support frame 2, there are lower expansion rods 5 connected. On one side of one of the lower expansion rods 5, there is a first driving mechanism 6. On the upper surface of the workbench 1, there is a feeding port;

[0029] The lower cutting assembly 7 includes lowering rods 701 penetrating through both sides of the top of the support frame 2. On one side of the two lowering rods 701, there are tooth plates 702 connected. The two tooth plates 702 are connected through a linkage mechanism 8. At the bottoms of the two lowering rods 701, there are cutters 703 fixedly connected. On both sides of the tops of the two cutters 703, there are first piercing rods 704 connected. On the surface of the first piercing rod 704, there is a first spring 705 sleeved and at the top, there is a stopper 705 fixedly connected.

[0030] Among them, the two lower expanding rods 5 are reciprocally linearly moved up and down by the linkage mechanism 8. Then, when the two lower expanding rods 5 are reciprocally linearly moved up and down, the two descending rods 701 are driven to reciprocally linearly move up and down. Then, the two descending rods 701 reciprocally linearly move up and down to drive the two cutting knives 703 to continuously descend alternately to cut the cheese into pieces.

[0031] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes two outer shell rods 401 slidably connected to both sides of the support frame 2. On both sides between the two outer shell rods 401, second springs 402 are fixedly connected, and the second springs 402 are sleeved on the surface of the guide frame 3. In the middle of the opposite surfaces of the two outer shell rods 401, wiping members 403 are embedded. On the opposite side of the wiping surface of the wiping member 403, a second piercing rod 404 is fixedly connected. The other end of the second piercing rod 404 extends to the outer surface of the outer shell rod 401 and is connected to a limiting plate. A third spring 405 is sleeved on the surface of the second piercing rod 404 and is located between the inner side wall of the outer shell rod 401 and the surface of the wiping member 403.

[0032] Among them, due to the elasticity of the third spring 405, the wiping member 403 is supported outward, so that the wiping surface of the wiping member 403 is in close contact with the surface of the cutting knife 703, and the surface of the cutting knife 703 is cleaned when the cutting knife 703 moves up and down.

[0033] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 shown, the linkage mechanism 8 includes a bracket 801 installed in the middle of the top of the support frame 2. A rotating rod 802 is rotatably connected inside the bracket 801. On both sides of the surface of the rotating rod 802, gears 803 meshing with the two toothed plates 702 are fixedly connected.

[0034] Among them, when the first driving mechanism 6 drives one of the lower expanding rods 5 to move up and down, the two gears 803 are driven to rotate. When one of the lower expanding rods 5 rises, the two gears 803 rotate to drive the other lower expanding rod 5 to descend.

[0035] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the first driving mechanism 6 includes a support clamp 601 installed on the top of the support frame 2. A turntable 602 is rotatably connected between the two support clamps 601. On one side of the two support clamps 601, a side plate 603 is fixedly connected. A first motor 604 is connected to the surface of the side plate 603. The output end of the first motor 604 is connected to the turntable 602. On the top of the other side of the turntable 602, a sliding wheel rod 605 is fixedly connected. A lifting frame 606 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding wheel rod 605. One side of the lifting frame 606 is connected to the surface of the lower expanding rod 5.

[0036] Among them, the first motor 604 drives the turntable 602 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 602 drives the sliding wheel rod 605 to rotate following the turntable 602. When the sliding wheel rod 605 rotates, it drives the lifting frame 606 to move up and down linearly. When the lifting frame 606 moves up and down linearly, it drives one of the lower expansion rods 5 to move up and down.

[0037] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, one side of the bottom of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a second driving mechanism 9. The second driving mechanism 9 includes a cross frame 901. One side of the cross frame 901 is connected with a second motor 902. A lead screw 903 is arranged inside the cross frame 901. One end of the lead screw 903 penetrates through the cross frame 901 and is connected with the output end of the second motor 902.

[0038] Among them, when the second motor 902 starts, it drives the lead screw 903 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 903 drives the pushing mechanism 10 to move horizontally left and right.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 shown, a pushing mechanism 10 is sleeved on one side of the workbench 1. The pushing mechanism 10 includes a pushing frame 1001 sleeved on one side of the workbench 1. Folding plates 1002 are connected to both sides of the pushing frame 1001. A threaded rod 1003 is threadedly connected to the surfaces of the two folding plates 1002. One end of the threaded rod 1003 is fixedly connected with a clamping plate 1004. The bottom of the pushing frame 1001 is threadedly connected with the lead screw 903.

[0040] Among them, place the cheese above the workbench 1, then rotate the threaded rods 1003 on both sides of the pushing frame 1001. Then the rotation of the threaded rods 1003 drives the clamping plate 1004 to clamp and fix the cheese. Subsequently, as the pushing mechanism 10 moves, it drives the cheese to move for cutting.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the positions of the two cutting knives 703 are in the middle of the two cleaning mechanisms 4. The bottom of the lower expansion rod 5 penetrates inside the cleaning mechanism 4.

[0042] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent replacements or changes, and should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
