[0043] 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.
[0044] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention is a knotting device for sausage production, including a housing 2, an aluminum wire disc 3 is provided on one side of the housing 2, a wire inlet 22 is provided on the housing 2, and a notch 21 is provided on the housing 2, through which the sausage enters.
[0045] Cam mechanism 4 is located inside housing 2;
[0046] The buckling mechanism 5 is movably connected to the rocker arm 45 on the cam mechanism 4, and the rocker arm 45 is also provided with a wire feeding mechanism 8;
[0047] The aluminum wire forming mechanism 6 is located between the two drive connecting plates 51 on the buckling mechanism 5;
[0048] The clamping mechanism 7 is movably connected to the connecting rod 48 on the cam mechanism 4; the clamping mechanism 7 is also connected to the push shaft 418 on the cam mechanism 4.
[0049] When the cam mechanism 4 moves, it simultaneously drives the buckling mechanism 5, the wire feeding mechanism 8, the aluminum wire forming mechanism 6, and the clamping mechanism 7 to move.
[0050] In this embodiment, the buckling mechanism 5, the aluminum wire forming mechanism 6, the clamping mechanism 7, and the wire feeding mechanism 8 are all existing technologies. In this solution, the cam mechanism 4 is mainly used to synchronously drive the other structures to work. The specific structure of the cam mechanism 4 is used to coordinate with other structures and make appropriate improvements. Compared with the existing solutions, its movement is more coherent, and it has fewer driving sources and is more energy-efficient.
[0051] Specifically, the aluminum wire is first straightened, and then passes through the wire feeding mechanism 8 and the aluminum wire forming mechanism 6 to the buckling mechanism 5. After the sausage is conveyed from the opening 21, the cam mechanism 4 is activated. First, the sausage is clamped by the clamping mechanism 7, and then the aluminum wire forming mechanism 6 and the buckling mechanism 5 work together to buckle the sausage.
[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4-5 As shown, the cam mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 41, with a reducer 49 at the bottom of the drive motor 41. One end of the reducer 49 drives a transmission wheel 410 to rotate. An irregular groove 411 is formed on the transmission wheel 410. A connecting rod 412 is movably connected to the transmission wheel 410. A boss is mounted on one end of the connecting rod 412, and the boss is adapted to the irregular groove 411. During the rotation of the transmission wheel 410, the boss and the irregular groove 411 work together to drive the connecting rod 412 to reciprocate. A connecting rod 413 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 412. A U-shaped plate (e.g., ...) is provided inside the housing 2. Figure 4 As shown, a rotating shaft is installed on the U-shaped plate. The adjacent ends of the connecting rod 3 412 and the connecting rod 413 are installed on the rotating shaft. The reciprocating motion of the connecting rod 3 412 drives the connecting rod 413 to swing left and right. An arc-shaped plate 414 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 413. The upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped plate 414 are provided with grooves 415. A swing disk 417 is engaged on the arc-shaped plate 414. The upper and lower ends of the swing disk 417 are provided with pins 416. The pins 416 are adapted to the grooves 415. A push shaft 418 is fixedly installed on the swing disk 417. During the swinging process of the connecting rod 413, the arc-shaped plate 414 drives the swing disk 417 to move left and right, which in turn drives the push shaft 418 to move left and right. The push shaft 418 is movably connected to the clamping mechanism 7.
[0053] Specifically, the transmission wheel 410 rotates, causing the connecting rod 3 412 to reciprocate, which in turn causes the connecting rod 413 to swing left and right, which in turn causes the swing disk 417 to move left and right through the arc plate 414, which in turn causes the push shaft 418 to move left and right.
[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the reducer 49 drives the cam 42 to rotate. The cam 42 has a cam groove 43 and a connecting rod 47. One end of the connecting rod 47 is equipped with a boss that is adapted to the cam groove 43. The boss and the cam groove 43 are connected to drive the connecting rod 47 to reciprocate. The end of the connecting rod 47 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 48, and the connecting rod 47 drives the connecting rod 48 to reciprocate.
[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the cam 42 is also provided with a rocker arm 44. The cam 42 is located at an off-center position. The end of the rocker arm 44 is rotatably connected to a rocker arm 45. The rocker arm 45 is L-shaped, and the rocker arm 44 and the rocker arm 45 form a Z-shape. The end of the rocker arm 45 is provided with an upper punch 55. Both sides of the rocker arm 45 are rotatably connected to a drive shaft 53. A drive connecting plate 51 is fixed on the drive shaft 53. The drive connecting plate 51 is L-shaped. The upper ends of the two drive connecting plates 51 are rotatably mounted on a vertical support plate. The vertical support plate is fixedly mounted on the housing 2. The corner of the rocker arm 45 is also connected to the vertical support plate via a shaft. The ends of the two drive connecting plates 51 are provided with lower punches 52 corresponding to the upper punches 55. For the specific structure of the upper punches 55 and the lower punches 52, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 As shown, this is the existing structure, which will not be described in detail in this solution;
[0056] One of the drive shafts 53 is fixedly mounted with a reciprocating half gear 54, which meshes with a drive gear 46 on the rocker arm 45. The drive gear 46 is rotatably connected to one side of the rocker arm 45.
[0057] Specifically, the cam 42 drives the rocker arm 44 to move, which in turn drives the rocker arm 45 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the drive gear 46 to reciprocate. The drive gear 46 drives the reciprocating half gear 54 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the two drive connecting plates 51 to rotate through the transmission shaft 53, and the upper punch 55 and the lower punch 52 engage.
[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, a swing link 61 is obliquely arranged between the two drive connecting plates 51. Two drive shafts 53 are connected by a rotating shaft that passes through the rocker arm 45. The swing link 61 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 53. L-shaped limiting blocks are provided on the outer sides of the ends of the two swing links 61, and these blocks are mounted on the housing 2 to limit the movement of the swing links 61. Cutting mounting plates 63 are fixedly mounted on the ends of each swing link 61. The two cutting mounting plates 63 are inclined inwards, and cutting blades 62 are horizontally mounted on the ends of each cutting mounting plate 63. The drive shaft 53 drives the swing link 61 to move, thereby cutting the aluminum wire through the cutting blades 62. The function of this aluminum wire forming mechanism 6 is to perform snap-fit forming and cutting.
[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6-7As shown, the wire feeding mechanism 8 includes a one-way bearing 84 mounted on the rocker arm 45. The one-way bearing 84 passes through the rocker arm 45. Both ends of the one-way bearing 84 are equipped with drive wire feeding wheels 81. One end of the one-way bearing 84 is connected to a ratchet 82 via a shaft. A corresponding pressure wheel 83 is provided below the drive wire feeding wheel 81.
[0060] During the rotation of rocker arm 45, the drive wire feeding wheel 81 will rotate. Through the arrangement of the wire feeding wheel 81 and the pressure wheel 83, aluminum wire can be continuously fed into the device. In this embodiment, the drive gear 46 can be arranged coaxially with the drive wire feeding wheel 81, or it can be arranged separately, depending on the requirements.
[0061] Please see Figure 3-4 As shown, the clamping mechanism 7 includes two intersecting movable plates 71, both of which are rotatably mounted on a connecting rod 48. A guide rod 74 is fixedly mounted on each movable plate 71, and a fixed claw 72 and a movable claw 73 are sequentially sleeved on the guide rod 74. The push shaft 418 passes through the fixed claw 72 and the movable claw 73 and is connected to the locking shaft 75. The movable claw 73 is rotatably mounted on the locking shaft 75.
[0062] The main function is to tighten the crab claws. The crab claws are divided into two pairs: fixed and movable. The right pair is fixed and can only be closed and tightened. The left pair is movable. After tightening, the cam mechanism 4 pushes the shaft 418 to move to the left. Then, through the locking shaft 75, the movable crab claws 73 move to the left along the guide rod 74, so that the meat inside the casing is squeezed to both sides, waiting to be buckled.
[0063] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the housing 2 is connected to the base 1 via a rotating shaft 11. The rotating shaft 11 is driven by a rotary motor, which can rotate the housing 2 and adjust the angle, making it highly adaptable.
[0064] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of one embodiment of the present invention, but this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. All equivalent variations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of this invention should still fall within the patent coverage of this invention.
