[0028] 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 creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Refer to Figures 1-4 , a slicing machine for vegetarian chicken of tofu, including an outer frame 1 fixed on a column 2. A moving frame 3 extending along its length direction is installed inside the outer frame 1. The moving frame 3 can move forward and backward horizontally along the length direction of the outer frame 1. A feeding cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side inside the moving frame 3 for accommodating the vegetarian chicken of tofu. The cross-section of the feeding cylinder 4 is comb-shaped. A frame-shaped tool holder 5 is arranged in front of the feeding cylinder 4 inside the moving frame 3. The frame-shaped tool holder 5 extends along the width direction of the moving frame 3. A plurality of blades 6 are fixedly installed on the frame-shaped tool holder 5 from top to bottom for slicing the vegetarian chicken of tofu. A support plate 7 extending downward to the lower part of the feeding cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame-shaped tool holder 5 for supporting the vegetarian chicken of tofu placed in the feeding cylinder 4; the moving frame 3 moves forward horizontally, driving the feeding cylinder 4 to carry the vegetarian chicken of tofu forward horizontally, and a plurality of blades 6 enter the feeding cylinder 4 from front to back to slice the vegetarian chicken of tofu.

[0030] In the present invention, between the front and rear cross beams on the lower side of the outer frame 1, two transverse guide rails 8 are fixedly connected. Both of the two transverse guide rails 8 extend along the length direction of the outer frame 1. The moving frame 3 is installed on the two transverse guide rails 8 by sliding fit, so as to install the moving frame 3 inside the outer frame 1 and enable it to move horizontally back and forth along the length direction of the outer frame 1.

[0031] In the present invention, between the upper and lower cross beams on the rear side of the outer frame 1, a mounting plate 9 is fixedly connected. A cylinder 10 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 9, and the piston rod of the cylinder 10 extends forward.

[0032] Thus, by the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the cylinder 10, the moving frame 3 is driven to move horizontally back and forth along the two transverse guide rails 8, so as to drive the moving frame 3 to move horizontally back and forth along the length direction of the outer frame 1.

[0033] In the present invention, the feeding cylinder 4 includes a vertical plate 11 and a plurality of transverse thin plates 12. The vertical plate 11 is fixedly connected between the upper and lower cross beams on the rear side of the moving frame 3. The free end of the piston rod of the cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side surface of the vertical plate 11, so as to fixedly connect the feeding cylinder 4 to the rear side inside the moving frame 3. The plurality of transverse thin plates 12 are fixedly arranged on the front side surface of the vertical plate 11 from top to bottom in sequence. Through holes 13 are provided on the plurality of transverse thin plates 12 to accommodate the tofu vegetarian chicken. A gap 14 for the corresponding blade 6 to pass through is provided between two adjacent transverse thin plates 12, so as to enable the plurality of blades 6 to slice the tofu vegetarian chicken.

[0034] In the present invention, the length of the frame-shaped tool holder 5 is greater than the width of the moving frame 3, and the length of each blade 6 is greater than the width of each transverse thin plate 12, so as to ensure that the moving frame 3 and the frame-shaped tool holder 5 do not affect each other during the horizontal movement.

[0035] In the present invention, the frame-shaped tool holder 5 can reciprocate horizontally left and right along the width direction of the moving frame 3.

[0036] In the present invention, an upper transverse guide rail 15 and a lower transverse guide rail (not shown in the figure) are respectively and fixedly connected between the left and right cross beams on the upper and lower sides of the outer frame 1. Both the upper transverse guide rail 15 and the lower transverse guide rail extend along the width direction of the outer frame 1. The frame-shaped tool holder 5 is installed between the upper transverse guide rail 15 and the lower transverse guide rail by sliding fit, so as to install the frame-shaped tool holder 5 and enable it to reciprocate horizontally left and right along the width direction of the moving frame 3.

[0037] In the present invention, a driving motor (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the outer frame 1. A vertical shaft 16 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer frame 1 and is in transmission connection with the driving motor. A cam 17 is fixedly sleeved at the top of the vertical shaft 16. A connecting rod 18 is rotatably connected between the eccentric position of the cam 17 and one side of the frame-shaped tool holder 5.

[0038] Thus, by driving the vertical shaft 16 with the driving motor, the cam 17 is further driven to rotate, and the link 18 drives the frame cutter holder 5 to reciprocate left and right along the upper and lower transverse guide rails, so as to realize the reciprocating left and right transverse movement of the frame cutter holder 5 along the width direction of the moving frame 3.

[0039] In the present invention, a travel switch (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed on the front side inside the outer frame 1, a jet nozzle (not shown in the figure) arranged downward is installed on the front side of the outer frame 1, the jet nozzle is connected to an air pipe (not shown in the figure) for conveying compressed air, and a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure) is connected in the air pipe. The travel switch is electrically connected to the solenoid valve through a control unit (not shown in the figure).

[0040] Thus, when the moving frame 3 transversely moves forward to the maximum stroke position, it will touch the contact of the travel switch, and the travel switch sends a in-place signal to the control unit. The control unit then sends a control signal to the solenoid valve, causing the solenoid valve to open, the air pipe to conduct, and compressed air to be ejected from the jet nozzle into the through hole 13 from the upper side, so as to realize blowing out the residues generated during the cutting process from the bottom of the through hole 13.

[0041] A method for using a tofu vegetarian chicken slicing machine specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] First, the round-stick-shaped tofu vegetarian chicken is vertically put into the feeding cylinder 4, that is, vertically put into the through holes 13 penetrating through a plurality of transverse thin plates 12. At this time, the support plate 7 closes the bottom of the through hole 13 and supports the tofu vegetarian chicken.

[0043] Then, the cylinder 10 is started to work, the piston rod of the cylinder 10 extends out, pushing the moving frame 3 to transversely move forward, driving the feeding cylinder 4 to carry the tofu vegetarian chicken to transversely move forward, and a plurality of blades 6 enter the feeding cylinder 4 from front to back, that is, respectively enter the gaps 14 between two adjacent transverse thin plates 12, and perform transverse cutting on the tofu vegetarian chicken in the front-back direction.

[0044] At the same time, the driving motor is started to work, driving the vertical shaft 16 to rotate, driving the frame cutter holder 5 to reciprocate left and right through the link 18, and further driving a plurality of blades 6 to reciprocate left and right, performing transverse cutting on the tofu vegetarian chicken in the left-right direction, so as to cut the round-stick-shaped tofu vegetarian chicken into a plurality of thin slices of tofu vegetarian chicken with uniform thickness and flat cut surfaces.

[0045] Then, the cylinder 10 continues to push the moving frame 3 to transversely move forward, driving the feeding cylinder 4 to carry the cut plurality of thin slices of tofu vegetarian chicken to transversely move forward, the through hole 13 is gradually staggered from the support plate 7 and a plurality of blades 6 until the through hole 13 is completely conducted.

[0046] When the through hole 13 is fully connected, several slices of cut vegetarian chicken tofu slices are discharged, and the movable frame 3 moves forward to the maximum stroke, touching the contact of the stroke switch. The stroke switch sends a position signal to the control unit, and the control unit immediately sends a control signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve opens, the air pipe is connected, and compressed air is sprayed from the upper side into the through hole by the air nozzle, so that the residue generated during the cutting process is blown out from the bottom of the through hole 13.

[0047] At the same time, the driving motor stops working, the vertical shaft 16 stops rotating, the frame-shaped tool holder 5 stops reciprocating left and right lateral movement, and returns to the middle position between the upper transverse guide rail 15 and the lower transverse guide rail.

[0048] Several slices of tofu vegetarian chicken slices are discharged and fall into the receiving basket below.

[0049] After a delay of a period of time, the piston rod of the cylinder 10 retracts and resets, pulling the moving frame 3 to move horizontally backward and reset, and driving the empty feeding barrel 4 to move horizontally backward and reset.

[0050] Although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode includes only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0051] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent changes made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
