Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an automatic strip-cutting device and method for air-dried chicken. Background Technology

[0002] As a high-protein, low-fat snack food and convenient ingredient, air-dried chicken has seen a continuous increase in market demand due to its unique flavor and long shelf life, which has driven the related processing industry to develop towards large-scale and standardized operations. Cutting into strips is one of the key processes in air-dried chicken processing, requiring the cut chicken strips to be of uniform size, with flat cross-sections and no excessive fragments, while also meeting food hygiene and safety requirements as well as production efficiency requirements. Traditional methods of slicing dried chicken into strips often employ semi-automatic slicing devices. After cleaning, chicken breast is laid flat on a conveyor belt for automatic transport. At the slicing mechanism, a rotating blade automatically slices the chicken into strips. The process continues after slicing. However, this method results in strips that are uniformly transported to a container for marinating. Because the strips vary in size and contain scraps, manual sorting is required afterward. Furthermore, sorting by weight is necessary during packaging, increasing workload and impacting the overall processing efficiency of the dried chicken. Therefore, we propose an automatic slicing device and method for dried chicken to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary mechanism includes two auxiliary side frames, which are fixedly installed on the top of the base. A top auxiliary component is provided at the top of each auxiliary side frame, and a bottom auxiliary component is provided in the middle of each auxiliary side frame. The top auxiliary component includes an auxiliary crossbeam, which is vertically installed on the top of the auxiliary side frames. Multiple longitudinal sliding pins are vertically slidably inserted into the auxiliary crossbeam, each corresponding to a position on the cutting channel. An auxiliary cross plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of each set of longitudinal sliding pins. A spring is movably sleeved on the outer side of the longitudinal sliding pin at the top of the auxiliary cross plate. A tie rod is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the auxiliary cross plate. Multiple sets of tie rods are provided, each corresponding to a position in the cutting channel. Multiple cams are evenly distributed between the auxiliary cross frame and the auxiliary cross plate. A common drive shaft is fixedly installed between the multiple cams. The common drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the auxiliary side frame. The structure of the bottom auxiliary component is the same as that of the top auxiliary component. The bottom auxiliary component is vertically mounted in the middle of the auxiliary side frame via the auxiliary cross frame. The bottom auxiliary component is rotatably mounted on the auxiliary side frame via the common drive shaft. A groove corresponding to the tie rod is opened on the guide belt. The tie rod moves through the corresponding groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second sprocket drive group and a third sprocket drive group are provided between the material guiding mechanism and the auxiliary mechanism. The second sprocket drive group includes two second sprockets and a second chain meshing with the outside of the two second sprockets.

The two third sprockets are coaxially fixedly installed with the ends of the guide shaft in the lower material guiding component and the common drive shaft in the bottom auxiliary component.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material feeding mechanism includes a material feeding rear plate and a material feeding front plate. A plurality of uniformly distributed guiding middle plates are vertically installed between the material feeding rear plate and the material feeding front plate. A guiding chamber is formed between two adjacent guiding middle plates. The guiding chamber and the cutting channel correspond to each other. A mounting frame is fixedly installed on the outer side of the guiding middle plate at the middle position of the material feeding mechanism. The mounting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the base. The transmission mechanism includes two transmission side frames. The transmission side frames are fixedly installed on the top of the base. Transmission rollers are rotatably installed at both ends of the transmission side frames. A transmission belt is movably sleeved on the outer side of the two transmission rollers. A fourth motor is fixedly installed at one end of the transmission side frame. The drive end of the fourth motor and the shaft end of the corresponding transmission roller are fixedly installed. Two symmetrically distributed positioning side frames are provided on the upper surface of the transmission belt. A guide crossbar is vertically installed on the positioning side frame. The guide crossbar is movably inserted into the transmission side frame and fixed by a nut.

[0013] A method for using an automatic strip-cutting device for air-dried chicken includes the following steps: Step 1: Adjust the positioning side frame according to the width of the chicken breast to be cut, adjust the distance between the two positioning side frames to match the limit of the chicken breast, and fix it with nuts. Then, place the chicken breast to be cut on the conveyor belt between the two positioning side frames, and drive the corresponding conveyor roller to rotate by turning on the fourth motor, thereby controlling the conveyor belt to transport the chicken breast to be cut automatically, and then transport the chicken breast to the lower guide and upper guide between multiple guide belts in sequence. Step 2: By activating the second motor in the upper and lower guide components, the corresponding guide shaft is driven to rotate, and multiple guide belts in the upper and lower guide components are controlled to perform reverse transmission. While the guide shaft in the upper guide component rotates, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the second sprocket transmission group to drive the common drive shaft in the top auxiliary component to rotate synchronously. While the guide shaft in the lower guide component rotates, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the third sprocket transmission group to drive the common drive shaft in the bottom auxiliary component to rotate synchronously. By controlling the rotation of the common drive shaft, multiple cams are driven to rotate, thereby controlling the auxiliary horizontal plate to descend, compressing the spring, and causing the multiple cams to continue rotating. When the springs return to their original position, the auxiliary horizontal plate is controlled to rise, thereby controlling the intermittent lifting and lowering of the auxiliary horizontal plate, which in turn controls the intermittent lifting and lowering of multiple sets of tie rods in the upper and lower guide components. Before the chicken breast is sequentially conveyed to multiple guide belts in the lower and upper guide components, it undergoes needle-piercing processing through multiple sets of tie rods that are intermittently raised and lowered to help increase the surface area of ​​the chicken breast. Step 3: The chicken breast to be cut is conveyed between multiple guide belts in the lower and upper guide components. Under the action of torsion springs, the lower and upper guide components are rotated around the rotating tube as an axis to compensate for the rotation. This ensures that the multiple guide belts in the lower and upper guide components are always in contact with the chicken breast. By controlling the multiple guide belts in the lower and upper guide components to synchronously reverse, the chicken breast to be cut is automatically conveyed. Step 4: By activating the third motor in the top and bottom cutting components to drive the rotating horizontal shaft, multiple cutting discs in the top and bottom cutting components are controlled to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The chicken breast to be cut is automatically conveyed between the top cutter and the bottom cutter. Through the synchronous counter-rotation of multiple cutting discs in the top cutter and the bottom cutter, the chicken breast is automatically cut into multiple chicken strips. The chicken strips are located in the corresponding cutting channels and continue to be stably and automatically conveyed by multiple guide belts in the lower guide and upper guide. The conveyed chicken strips fall into the corresponding decanter for classification and export. The chicken strips of different lengths are initially classified and the scraps are separated in the decanter at the edge. During the cutting process, the first motor drives the rotating horizontal shaft in the top cutting component to rotate. In conjunction with the transmission of the first sprocket transmission group and the transmission of the two transmission gears, the rotating horizontal shaft in the bottom cutting component is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction. This controls the synchronous reverse rotation of multiple cutting discs in the top and bottom cutting components to move them away from each other. The guide belt automatically scrapes off the chicken strips that stick to the cutting discs and transmits them through multiple guide belts to prevent the cut chicken strips from sticking to the cutting discs.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This automatic strip-cutting device, by setting up a cutting mechanism and using a feeding mechanism, automatically transports the chicken breast to be cut, and can automatically cut the chicken breast into multiple chicken strips, which are placed in the corresponding cutting channels for individual transport, facilitating the subsequent classification and export of the chicken strips.

[0015] 2. This automatic strip cutting device, through the setting of a material unloading mechanism, automatically cuts out multiple chicken strips and transmits them into the corresponding unloading bins for classification and export. In this way, chicken strips of different lengths can be initially classified, eliminating the need for subsequent manual sorting. This also allows for the separation of scraps in the unloading bins at the edge, eliminating the need for manual picking.

[0016] 3. This automatic strip-cutting device, through the setting of auxiliary mechanisms and the use of a material guiding mechanism, controls multiple sets of piercing rods in the top and bottom auxiliary parts to intermittently lift and lower, performing needle-piercing processing on the chicken breast, helping to increase the surface area of ​​the chicken breast, which facilitates the subsequent marinating process of the chicken strips.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Example: Figure 1-15 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic strip-cutting device for air-dried chicken, including a base 1, a cutting mechanism 2 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 1, a guiding mechanism 3 provided on the side of the top of the base 1 near the cutting mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 6 provided on the side of the top of the base 1 near the guiding mechanism 3, an auxiliary mechanism 4 provided on the side of the guiding mechanism 3 near the conveying mechanism 6, and a discharging mechanism 5 provided on the side of the guiding mechanism 3 away from the conveying mechanism 6.

[0036] The slitting mechanism 2 includes a longitudinal frame 21, which is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the base 1. The top of the longitudinal frame 21 is provided with a top cutting member 22, and the bottom of the longitudinal frame 21 is provided with a bottom cutting member 23 that cooperates with the top cutting member 22. The top cutting component 22 includes a rotating horizontal shaft 221, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the mechanism's longitudinal frame 21. A longitudinal support 222 is vertically mounted on one end of the rotating horizontal shaft 221 near the mechanism's longitudinal frame 21. A rotating horizontal shaft 223 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the longitudinal support 222 away from the rotating horizontal shaft 221. Multiple evenly distributed cutting discs 224 are fixedly mounted on the rotating horizontal shaft 223 by nuts. A positioning end frame 225 is fixedly mounted on the side of the rotating horizontal shaft 221 away from the longitudinal support 222 by nuts. A rotating clamp 226 is rotatably mounted on the end of the positioning end frame 225 away from the rotating horizontal shaft 221 via a bearing. The end of the rotating horizontal shaft 223 away from the longitudinal support 222 is movably clamped in the rotating clamp 226 and fixed by nuts. By controlling the rotation of the rotating horizontal shaft 221, the multiple cutting discs 224 can be driven to rotate around the rotating horizontal shaft 221 as an axis. A third motor 227 is fixedly installed at the end of the longitudinal support 222 away from the rotating horizontal axis 221. The third motor 227 and the end of the rotating horizontal axis 223 are fixedly installed. By turning on the third motor 227, the rotating horizontal axis 223 is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of multiple cutting discs 224. The bottom cutter 23 has the same structure as the top cutter 22. The bottom cutter 23 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the longitudinal frame 21 of the mechanism via a rotating horizontal shaft 221. A slitting channel 201 is formed between two adjacent cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and two corresponding adjacent cutting discs 224 in the bottom cutter 23, so that the chicken breast to be slitted is slowly transported between the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23. Through the synchronous counter-rotation of multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23, the chicken breast is automatically slitted into multiple chicken strips, which are located in the corresponding slitting channels 201.

[0037] An auxiliary horizontal shaft 24 is rotatably mounted on the side of the longitudinal frame 21 near the bottom cutter 23. Both the auxiliary horizontal shaft 24 and the end of the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the bottom cutter 23 are fixedly mounted with transmission gears 25, which mesh together. A first sprocket drive assembly 26 is provided at the end of the auxiliary horizontal shaft 24 and the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the top cutter 22. The first sprocket drive assembly 26 includes two first sprockets and a first chain meshing with the outside of the two first sprockets. The two first sprockets are respectively fixedly mounted on the auxiliary horizontal shaft 24 and the rotating horizontal shaft in the top cutter 22. At the end of 221, a first motor 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the longitudinal frame 21. The drive end of the first motor 27 is fixedly installed on the end of the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the top cutter 22. By turning on the first motor 27, the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the top cutter 22 is driven to rotate. In conjunction with the transmission of the first sprocket transmission group 26 and the transmission of the two transmission gears 25, the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the bottom cutter 23 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction. This controls the synchronous reverse rotation of the multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23 to move away from each other.

[0038] The material guiding mechanism 3 includes two symmetrically distributed first longitudinal frames 31 and two symmetrically distributed second longitudinal frames 32. The first longitudinal frames 31 and the second longitudinal frames 32 are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The top of the first longitudinal frame 31 is provided with an upper material guiding component 33, and the top of the second longitudinal frame 32 is provided with a lower material guiding component 34. The upper material guiding component 33 is located above the lower material guiding component 34. The upper guide component 33 includes two connecting brackets 331. Guide side frames 332 are vertically mounted on both ends of the connecting brackets 331. Guide horizontal shafts 333 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the guide side frames 332. Guide belts 334 are movably sleeved on the outer side of the two guide horizontal shafts 333. Multiple guide belts 334 are provided, each corresponding to the cutting channel 201. A second motor 335 is fixedly mounted on the end of one of the guide side frames 332. The drive end of the second motor 335 is fixedly mounted on the shaft end of the corresponding guide horizontal shaft 333. By turning on the second motor 335, the corresponding guide horizontal shaft 333 is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the multiple guide belts 334 to perform transmission. A rotating tube 35 is vertically installed at the end of the guide side frame 332 of the upper guide component 33 away from the second motor 335. The rotating tube 35 and one of the guide horizontal shafts 333 in the upper guide component 33 are coaxially arranged. The rotating tube 35 is rotatably installed on the top of the first longitudinal frame 31 through a bearing, so that the upper guide component 33 can rotate around the rotating tube 35 as the axis. A protective cylinder 36 is fixedly installed on the top of the first longitudinal frame 31. A torsion spring 37 is provided between the outer side of the rotating tube 35 and the inner side of the protective cylinder 36. The structure of the lower guide 34 is the same as that of the upper guide 33. The connection method between the lower guide 34 and the top of the second longitudinal frame 32 is the same as that between the upper guide 33 and the top of the first longitudinal frame 31. The chicken breast to be cut is conveyed between the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33. Under the action of the torsion spring 37, the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 are rotated and compensated with the rotating tube 35 as the axis, so that the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 are always in contact with the chicken breast. By controlling the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 to synchronously reverse, the chicken breast to be cut is automatically conveyed, and multiple chicken strips are automatically cut and continue to be stably and automatically conveyed through the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33. The guide belts 334 in the lower guide component 34 and the upper guide component 33 are located in the corresponding cutting channels 201. When the multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23 rotate synchronously in opposite directions and move away from each other, the guide belts 334 will automatically scrape off the chicken strips stuck to the cutting discs 224 and transmit them through the multiple guide belts 334. This can prevent the cut chicken strips from sticking to the cutting discs 224 and affecting the subsequent cutting of chicken breast.

[0039] The material guiding mechanism 3 also includes an auxiliary longitudinal plate 38, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The guide side frame 332 of the upper guide component 33 and the lower guide component 34 are both fixedly installed with auxiliary clamping tubes 381 at the ends away from the rotating tube 35. The top of the auxiliary longitudinal plate 38 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 382 that cooperates with the auxiliary clamping tube 381. The auxiliary clamping tube 381 is movably clamped in the corresponding arc-shaped groove 382, ​​which increases the stability of the lower guide component 34 and the upper guide component 33 in rotation compensation with the rotating tube 35 as the axis.

[0040] The auxiliary mechanism 4 includes two auxiliary side frames 41, which are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1.

The top auxiliary component 42 includes an auxiliary crossbeam 421, which is vertically mounted on the top of the auxiliary side frame 41. Multiple longitudinal sliding pins 422 are vertically slidably inserted into the auxiliary crossbeam 421, each corresponding to a position in the cutting channel 201. An auxiliary crossbeam 423 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of each set of longitudinal sliding pins 422. Springs 425 are movably sleeved on the outer side of each longitudinal sliding pin 422 at the top of the auxiliary crossbeam 423. Multiple tie rods 424 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the auxiliary crossbeam 423, each corresponding to a position in the cutting channel 201. Multiple cams 426 are evenly distributed between 421 and the auxiliary horizontal plate 423. A common drive shaft 427 is fixedly installed between the multiple cams 426. The common drive shaft 427 is rotatably mounted on the auxiliary side frame 41. By controlling the rotation of the common drive shaft 427, the multiple cams 426 are driven to rotate, thereby controlling the auxiliary horizontal plate 423 to descend, compressing the spring 425. The multiple cams 426 continue to rotate, the spring 425 returns to its original position, and the auxiliary horizontal plate 423 is controlled to rise. This controls the intermittent raising and lowering of the auxiliary horizontal plate 423, thereby controlling the intermittent raising and lowering of multiple sets of tie rods 424. The structure of the bottom auxiliary component 43 is the same as that of the top auxiliary component 42. The bottom auxiliary component 43 is vertically installed in the middle of the auxiliary side frame 41 through the auxiliary cross frame 421. The bottom auxiliary component 43 is rotatably installed on the auxiliary side frame 41 through the common drive shaft 427. The guide belt 334 has a groove 301 corresponding to the tie rod 424. The tie rod 424 moves through the corresponding groove 301 and can slide vertically in the corresponding groove 301.

[0041] A second sprocket drive group 7 and a third sprocket drive group 8 are provided between the material guiding mechanism 3 and the auxiliary mechanism 4. The second sprocket drive group 7 includes two second sprockets and a second chain meshing with the outer sides of the two second sprockets. The two second sprockets are coaxially fixedly installed with the ends of the guide shaft 333 in the upper material guiding component 33 and the common drive shaft 427 in the top auxiliary component 42. The third sprocket drive group 8 includes two third sprockets and a third chain meshing with the outer sides of the two third sprockets. The two third sprockets are coaxially fixedly installed with the ends of the guide shaft 333 in the lower material guiding component 34 and the common drive shaft 427 in the bottom auxiliary component 43. When the guide shaft 333 in the upper material guiding component 33 rotates, it cooperates with the transmission of the second sprocket drive group 7 to drive the common drive shaft 427 in the top auxiliary component 42 to rotate synchronously. When the guide shaft 333 in the lower material guiding component 34 rotates, it cooperates with the transmission of the third sprocket drive group 8 to drive the common drive shaft 427 in the bottom auxiliary component 43 to rotate synchronously.

[0042] The material feeding mechanism 5 includes a material feeding rear plate 51 and a material feeding front plate 53. Multiple evenly distributed material feeding middle plates 52 are vertically installed between the material feeding rear plate 51 and the material feeding front plate 53. A material feeding chamber is formed between two adjacent material feeding middle plates 52. The material feeding chamber and the cutting channel 201 correspond to each other. A mounting frame 54 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the material feeding middle plate 52 at the middle end position of the material feeding mechanism 5. The mounting frame 54 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Multiple chicken strips are automatically cut out and continue to be stably and automatically transported through multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide component 34 and the upper guide component 33. The transported strips fall into the corresponding material feeding chamber for classification and export. In this way, chicken strips of different lengths can be initially classified without subsequent manual sorting. In this way, scraps can be separated in the edge material feeding chamber without manual picking. The transmission mechanism 6 includes two transmission side frames 61, which are fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. Transmission rollers 62 are rotatably mounted on both ends of each transmission side frame 61. Transmission belts 63 are movably sleeved on the outer sides of the two transmission rollers 62. A fourth motor 621 is fixedly installed on one end of each transmission side frame 61. The drive end of the fourth motor 621 is fixedly installed on the shaft end of the corresponding transmission roller 62. Two symmetrically distributed positioning side frames 64 are provided on the upper surface of the transmission belt 63. Guide crossbars 641 are vertically installed on the positioning side frames 64 and are movably inserted into the transmission side frames 61. The chicken breast is then secured with nuts. During use, the positioning side frame 64 is adjusted by sliding according to the width of the chicken breast to be cut. The distance between the two positioning side frames 64 is adjusted to match the limit of the chicken breast and then secured with nuts. Subsequently, the chicken breast to be cut is placed on the conveyor belt 63 between the two positioning side frames 64. The fourth motor 621 is turned on to drive the corresponding conveyor roller 62 to rotate, thereby controlling the conveyor belt 63 to transport the chicken breast. This controls the automatic transport of the chicken breast to be cut, and the chicken breast is sequentially transported between multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide component 34 and the upper guide component 33.

[0043] A method for using an automatic strip-cutting device for air-dried chicken includes the following steps: Step 1: Adjust the positioning side frame 64 according to the width of the chicken breast to be cut, adjust the distance between the two positioning side frames 64 to match the limit of the chicken breast, and fix it with nuts. Then, place the chicken breast to be cut on the conveyor belt 63 between the two positioning side frames 64. Drive the corresponding conveyor roller 62 to rotate by turning on the fourth motor 621, thereby controlling the conveyor belt 63 to transport the chicken breast to be cut automatically. The chicken breast is then transported sequentially between multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide component 34 and the upper guide component 33. Step 2: By activating the second motor 335 in the upper guide component 33 and the lower guide component 34, the corresponding guide shaft 333 is driven to rotate, and the multiple guide belts 334 in the upper guide component 33 and the lower guide component 34 are controlled to perform reverse transmission. While the guide shaft 333 in the upper guide component 33 rotates, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the second sprocket transmission group 7 to drive the common drive shaft 427 in the top auxiliary component 42 to rotate synchronously. While the guide shaft 333 in the lower guide component 34 rotates, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the third sprocket transmission group 8 to drive the common drive shaft 427 in the bottom auxiliary component 43 to rotate synchronously. By controlling the rotation of the common drive shaft 427, multiple cams 426 are driven to rotate, thereby controlling the auxiliary horizontal plate 423 to descend, compressing the spring 425. The multiple cams 426 continue to rotate, the spring 425 returns to its original position, and the auxiliary horizontal plate 423 is controlled to rise. This controls the auxiliary horizontal plate 423 to rise and fall intermittently, thereby controlling the multiple sets of tie rods 424 in the upper guide 33 and lower guide 34 to rise and fall intermittently. Before the chicken breast is sequentially conveyed to the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and upper guide 33, it undergoes needle-piercing processing through multiple sets of tie rods 424 that are intermittently raised and lowered to help increase the surface area of ​​the chicken breast. Step 3: The chicken breast to be cut is conveyed between multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33. Under the action of the torsion spring 37, the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 are rotated around the rotating tube 35 to compensate for the rotation. This ensures that the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 are always in contact with the chicken breast. By controlling the multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33 to synchronously reverse, the chicken breast to be cut is automatically conveyed. Step 4: By activating the third motor 227 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23 to drive the rotating horizontal shaft 223 to rotate, the multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23 are controlled to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The chicken breast to be cut is automatically conveyed between the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23. Through the synchronous reverse rotation of multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutter 22 and the bottom cutter 23, the chicken breast is automatically cut into multiple chicken strips. The chicken strips are located in the corresponding cutting channels 201 and continue to be stably and automatically conveyed by multiple guide belts 334 in the lower guide 34 and the upper guide 33. The conveyed chicken strips fall into the corresponding decanter for classification and export. The chicken strips of different lengths are initially classified and the scraps are separated in the decanter at the edge. During the cutting process, the first motor 27 is activated to drive the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the top cutting member 22 to rotate. In conjunction with the transmission of the first sprocket transmission group 26 and the transmission of the two transmission gears 25, the rotating horizontal shaft 221 in the bottom cutting member 23 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction. This controls the synchronous reverse rotation of multiple cutting discs 224 in the top cutting member 22 and the bottom cutting member 23 to move away from each other. The guide belt 334 will automatically scrape off the chicken strips that are stuck to the cutting discs 224 and transmit them through multiple guide belts 334 to prevent the cut chicken strips from sticking to the cutting discs 224.
