Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food machinery, in particular to a meat strip cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] There are two types of existing meat strip cutting machines. One is a double-roller knife cutting, such as the meat strip cutting machine patent CN218389616U, which discloses a cylindrical roller-shaped cutting knife structure and a knife-dragging roller structure arranged relatively. The other is a roller-shaped cutting knife, which is matched with a mold with a gap, so that the cutting knife is inserted into the gap of the mold to complete the cutting, such as the meat strip and diced meat cutting machine patent CN107150370A, which discloses a roller blade and an external cutting die plate with a cutting slit.

[0003] The length of the meat strips cut by the above-mentioned two cutting machines is limited and depends on the length of the meat block. That is, the length of the cut meat strips is only the distance between the two opposite sides of a piece of meat block. For meat blocks with irregular shapes, the cut meat strips are relatively short, and there is a lot of waste. When processing dog chew stick products, the meat strips need to be wrapped around the surface of a slender rod mold such as a bone. With manual wrapping, the joints between adjacent meat strips can be flexibly operated to achieve a smooth and uninterrupted connection. However, the efficiency of manual wrapping is relatively low, and the product quality is also uneven. If the dog chew stick is wrapped mechanically, the joint connection problem between adjacent meat strips is difficult to solve. It is often easy for the tail of the previous meat strip or the head of the next meat strip to protrude because it cannot be squeezed by the adjacent meat strips, affecting the appearance of the dog chew stick and the quality of the finished product. Therefore, how to produce longer meat strips has become a major problem that plagues dog chew stick manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention proposes a meat strip cutting machine, which uses two sets of blades that are relatively staggered and move in a straight line to cut long meat strips, meeting the production needs of later automated processing of dog chew sticks.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is: A meat strip cutting machine includes a meat support plate and a meat pressing plate, wherein the meat support plate and the meat pressing plate are respectively located below and above the meat block, and the meat support plate and the meat pressing plate are both provided with a plurality of mutually parallel through grooves, wherein each through groove corresponding to the two plates is located in the same vertical plane, and cutting tools are slidingly connected at intervals in the through grooves, and the cutting tools are divided into two groups, and the two groups of cutting tools are correspondingly installed on the left and right sides of the meat block, and the cutting tools located on the left and right sides of the meat block are staggered with each other.

[0006] Preferably, the meat pressing plate is connected to a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is connected to a front and rear translation mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, there are two groups of lifting mechanisms, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the meat block.

[0008] Preferably, the side surfaces of the frame are provided with guide rails for a lifting mechanism, and the upper end of the frame is provided with guide rails for a front and rear translation mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, a left-right translation mechanism is connected to the side of the cutting tool away from the meat block.

[0010] Preferably, all cutting knives located on the same side of the meat block are installed together in a knife holder, and the knife holder is rotatably connected to the left and right translation mechanism in a vertical plane.

[0011] Preferably, the cutting tool comprises a blade part and a blade part, the blade part is located at the front end of the blade part, and a groove is provided on the side of the blade part.

[0012] Preferably, the groove is a through groove.

[0013] Preferably, the meat strip cutting machine further comprises a frame, and a support platform for supporting the knife is provided at the lower end of the frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention can achieve staggered cutting of the meat block by arranging staggered cutting knives on the left and right sides of the meat block. The uncut end becomes the connection point of the meat strips cut by the two adjacent cutting knives. After cutting, a longer meat strip is formed, which can meet the requirement of long meat strips when automatically winding a dog chew stick.

[0015] 2. The present invention has low requirements for meat blocks. Even if the meat blocks are not square in shape, they can be cut into long complete meat strips. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] 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.

[0019] The present invention discloses a Figure 1-3 The meat strip cutting machine shown in the figure has a frame 1 with a side panel connected to each end of the bottom crossbar. A support platform 14 is provided between the two side panels and above the crossbar. Above the support platform, a meat support plate 10, a meat pressing plate 8, and a crossbeam 5 are provided in order from bottom to top. The meat support plate 10 and the left and right ends of the crossbeam 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right side panels, and the left and right ends of the meat pressing plate 8 are slidably connected to the left and right side panels. A lifting cylinder 3 is installed on each end of the crossbeam 5. The actuator end of the lifting cylinder 3 is connected to the end of the meat pressing plate 8. The lifting cylinder 3 is extended and retracted to achieve the up and down movement of the meat pressing plate 8, and then cooperates with the meat support plate 10 to squeeze and fix the meat in the up and down directions.

[0020] The meat support plate 10 and the meat pressing plate 8 are both provided with a plurality of Figure 3 The mutually parallel through grooves shown are of an up-and-down transparent structure extending left and right. The through grooves of the meat support plate 10 and the through grooves of the meat pressing plate 8 are coplanar in a vertical plane parallel to the side walls of the through grooves. The left cutting tool 11 and the right cutting tool 7 are both composed of multiple blades arranged parallel to each other along the front-to-back direction of the tool holder 12. The blades penetrate the through grooves of the meat pressing plate 8 upwards and penetrate the through grooves of the meat support plate 10 downwards. The blades on each side of the cutting tool are not installed one-to-one in the through grooves, but are installed in intervals with an empty through groove between two adjacent blades. At the same time, the blades on the two cutting tools are staggered with each other, that is, the blade of the left cutting tool 11 and the blade of the right cutting tool 7 are not coplanar in a plane parallel to the through grooves. The left end of the left cutting tool 11 is connected to the left translation cylinder 2, and the right end of the right cutting tool 11 is connected to the right translation cylinder 13. The translation cylinders on both sides form a left-right translation mechanism, which drives the cutting tool to move left and right, cutting the meat block 9 into meat strips connected at the ends, similar to an accordion structure. Figure 4 As shown, the final meat strip is a long strip. Since the meat used in the dog chew stick is chicken, which has great toughness, the problem of breaking at the end cut will not occur when the dog chew stick is unfolded.

[0021] Since the meat support plate 10 and the meat pressure plate 8 guide and limit the cutting tool at the top and bottom, the support platform 4 at the bottom supports the tool while also having the function of guiding and positioning. Therefore, this application is an over-positioning mechanism. In order to prevent over-positioning from hindering the normal movement of the cutting tool, the connection between the translation cylinder and the cutting tool in this application is a rotating connection in the vertical plane.

[0022] In order to reduce the friction between the cutting tool and the meat block 9, the cutting tool is designed as an assembled structure in which the front end of the blade part 11-1 is connected to the blade part 11-2, and a transparent groove is provided on the side of the blade part.

[0023] A set of lifting mechanism guide rails for guiding the meat pressing plate 8 is provided on the left and right sides of the frame 1, and front and rear translation mechanism guide rails for guiding the front and rear movement of the crossbeam 5 are installed between the crossbeam 5 and the rear side of the frame, and a pressing plate pulling-out cylinder 6 is installed on the rear side of the frame. The execution end of the pressing plate pulling-out cylinder 6 is connected to the crossbeam 5. Under the drive of the pressing plate pulling-out cylinder 6, the crossbeam is driven to move back and forth, and then the meat pressing plate 8 is driven to move closer to or away from the meat block, making it convenient to replace the meat block.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
