TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pig trotter processing equipment, in particular to a rapid dicing device for pig trotters. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pig trotter, also known as pig foot or pig hand, is the end part of pig's four limbs, including hoof and lower leg part. When it is used as food material in a restaurant, it needs to be cut into uniform pieces in advance.

[0003] At present, when pig trotters are diced, they need to be cut vertically into two parts first, and then cut into 5-6 cm blocks at equal intervals. The existing dicing equipment usually needs personnel to put the pig trotter into a cylinder and then press the cutter to cut it into two parts when cutting the pig trotter vertically into two parts. However, since the size of each pig trotter is different, the cylinder is set to be larger, which causes the pig trotter placed in the cylinder to be in an inclined state, making the two halves of the pig trotter different in size when cut open, and the subsequent dicing is uneven, which is not conducive to subsequent hotel food preparation. Since the size needs to be controlled equally in hotels and other places, the size control is particularly important. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to provide a rapid dicing device for pig trotters to solve the problem of uneven two halves when cutting the pig trotter vertically into two parts as mentioned in the background.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The diagram shows a rapid slicing device for pig trotters, including a slicing platform 1 with a protective cover 2, an electric bone saw 3 mounted on the slicing platform 1, two conveyor belts 4 distributed on both sides of the electric bone saw 3, four drive wheels 5 rotatably mounted on the slicing platform 1 driving the two conveyor belts 4 to rotate synchronously in reverse, a pushing component 6 at the bottom of the slicing platform 1 to move the pig trotters toward the electric bone saw 3, and several positioning components 7 mounted on the slicing platform 1 to position the outer side of the pig trotters so that the middle part is aligned with the electric bone saw 3. In this design, two conveyor belts 4, in conjunction with a pushing component 6, move the pig's trotter toward the electric bone saw 3. While moving, a positioning component 7 positions the top and sides of the pig's trotter to ensure stable movement during cutting, preventing it from tilting or lifting. This ensures that the two halves of the pig's trotter are of uniform size after cutting, resulting in smaller differences in the size of the subsequent cut pieces, meeting the needs of hotel food preparation. The drive wheels 5 on the two conveyor belts 4 are driven by an external motor, causing the two conveyor belts 4 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, assisting the pig's trotter in moving toward the electric bone saw 3.

[0020] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The pushing component 6 includes two transmission wheels 8 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the cutting platform 1. A transmission belt 9 is meshed on the outer side of the two transmission wheels 8. The inner shaft of one of the transmission wheels 8 is fixed to the conveying end of the motor. Two openings 10 are opened on the cutting platform 1. A pushing strip 11 is fixed on the transmission belt 9. The pushing strip 11 moves within the opening 10. In order to avoid the pushing strip 11 from contacting the electric bone saw 3, the two openings 10 are designed to be located on both sides of the electric bone saw 3. In this scheme, the transmission wheel 8 is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission belt 9 to rotate. The push bar 11 moves within the opening 10, thereby moving the pig's trotters on the cutting platform 1 toward the electric bone saw 3.

[0021] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 - Figure 7 The positioning component 7 includes a U-shaped bracket 13. The two ends of the U-shaped bracket 13 are slidably inserted with connecting rods 14 that are fixed to the surface of the cutting platform 1. The two connecting rods 14 are distributed in the two conveyor belts 4. The top of the connecting rod 14 is fixed with an end plate 15. The outer side of the connecting rod 14 is fitted with a compression spring 16 for pushing the U-shaped bracket 13 downward. The U-shaped bracket 13 is fixed with a pressing part 17 for pressing the top of the pig's hoof. The cutting platform 1 is provided with abutting part 18 for pushing the inner side of the conveyor belt 4. The pressing component 17 includes a pressing rod 19 fixed on a U-shaped bracket 13. A pressing plate 20 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the pressing rod 19. A limiting block 21 for controlling the tilt of the pressing plate 20 is fixed on the bottom of the pressing rod 19. A weight 22 is fixed on the outer end of the pressing plate 20. Through the action of the weight 22, one end of the pressing plate 20 is tilted. During the movement of the pig's hoof, the top of the pig's hoof is pressed and limited by the tilted pressing plate 20. Meanwhile, the abutting part 18 includes a support plate 23 fixed on the cutting platform 1. A support rod 24 is slidably installed on the support plate 23. One end of the support rod 24 is fixed with a stop plate 25 that abuts against the inner side of the conveyor belt 4, and the other end is fixed with an inclined plate 26. A stop rod 27 that abuts against the inclined plate 26 is fixed on the U-shaped bracket 13. A tension spring 28 that is fixed to the stop plate 25 and the support plate 23 is sleeved on the outside of the support rod 24. The push of the conveyor belt 4 by the stop plate 25 makes the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 abut against the pig's hoof, so as to avoid the pig's hoof from shifting during cutting. It should be noted that in order to reduce the friction between the bottom of the stop rod 27 and the outer side of the inclined plate 26, a spherical end 29 is fixed at the bottom of the stop rod 27. In order to reduce the friction between the stop plate 25 and the inner side of the conveyor belt 4 and not affect the normal rotation of the conveyor belt 4, a smooth slider 30 that fits against the inner side of the conveyor belt 4 is fixed on the outside of the stop plate 25.

[0022] The principle of positioning component 7 for positioning the top and sides of the pig's hoof is as follows: First, the pushing component 6 moves the pig's hoof towards the electric bone saw 3. At the same time, the two conveyor belts 4 rotate synchronously to assist the pig's hoof in moving towards the electric bone saw 3. During the movement, the bottom of the inclined pressing plate 20 contacts the top of the pig's hoof, which can prevent the pig's hoof from lifting up during cutting and limit the alignment of the top. At the same time, the push bar 27 presses the inclined plate 26, which causes the push plate 25 to press the conveyor belt 4. The two conveyor belts 4 limit the sides of the pig's hoof, which can keep the pig's hoof moving steadily towards the electric bone saw 3 and prevent it from tilting during the movement. This ensures that the two halves of the pig's hoof cut into pieces by the electric bone saw 3 are of uniform size, which is helpful for subsequent cutting operations.

[0023] It should be noted that, considering the length of pig trotters, multiple positioning components 7 are provided, which are evenly distributed on the cutting platform 1 to ensure that at least one pig trotter passes completely through the electric bone saw 3.

[0024] It should also be noted that for some large pig hooves, when passing over the pressing plate 20, their large size will cause the pressing rod 19 to be lifted. At this time, the entire U-shaped support 13 will move upward, causing the abutment rod 27 to move upward. Under the action of the tension spring 28, the abutment plate 25 will retract a certain distance, relaxing the sides of the pig hoof by a certain distance. While satisfying the positioning of the sides of the pig hoof, it is convenient for large pig hooves to pass through.

[0025] This method involves precisely cutting the pig's trotters in half, including the following steps: The first step is for the staff to place the pig's feet, with the electric bone saw 3 facing the cutting platform 1; The second step involves moving the pig's trotter toward the electric bone saw 3 by operating the pusher 6, while the two conveyor belts 4 rotate in opposite directions to assist in the movement of the pig's trotter. The third step involves the pressing part 17 and the abutting part 18 during the movement of the pig's hoof, thereby limiting the top and sides of the pig's hoof.

[0026] The fourth step involves using an electric bone saw 3 to vertically cut the pig's trotters in half.

[0027] In this solution, the pig's trotter is first pushed by the pushing component 6 and the two conveyor belts 4 to move it toward the electric bone saw 3. During the cutting process, the pressing component 17 and the abutting part 18 are used to keep it in the state of movement, so that it will not lift or shift, thus ensuring that when it is vertically cut into two halves, the two halves of the pig's trotter are of uniform size.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the difference being that the structure of the conveyor belt 4 is optimized, so that the conveyor belt 4 is more effective in assisting the conveying of pig trotters.

[0029] Specifically, the outer side of the conveyor belt 4 is fixed with inclined strips 12 at equal intervals. The inclined strips 12 are made of rubber. The designed inclined strips 12 improve the power of conveying pig hooves. At the same time, when pushing pig hooves, there is a certain buffer space. While meeting the auxiliary positioning of the pig hooves on both sides, it does not affect the normal transmission of the conveyor belt 4.
