Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of beef processing equipment, specifically relating to an automatic stripping machine for processing raw beef. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of meat consumption demand and the accelerated automation transformation of the food processing industry, the meat cutting equipment market is showing steady growth. Automatic stripping equipment for raw beef processing, as a core piece of equipment in key processing stages, is experiencing continuously increasing demand. Currently, the industry is developing towards intelligent and flexible solutions, with integrated equipment that combines cutting and automated conveying becoming the market mainstream. Simultaneously, with the explosive growth of the pre-prepared food industry, processing enterprises are placing higher demands on equipment processing efficiency, product consistency, and adaptability to subsequent processes.

[0003] Existing automated raw beef stripping equipment primarily performs the cutting function, capable of processing block-shaped beef into strips. However, it faces significant technical challenges in practical application. Due to the soft texture and naturally sticky surface of fresh beef, coupled with the compression during cutting, the cut beef strips tend to stick together, with some strips even completely overlapping. Existing equipment lacks an effective separating mechanism synchronized with the cutting process, failing to separate the beef strips in real-time. This necessitates manual or specialized separation before further processing. However, completely overlapping beef strips are difficult to separate, increasing production time and labor input, and impacting overall production efficiency.

[0004] To address the technical problems of severe adhesion and difficult separation processes in existing beef strip processing, it is necessary to develop an automatic beef stripping machine that can automatically strip beef while simultaneously adjusting the height of the second separator in the discharge mechanism through the linkage of the feeding and discharging mechanisms. The first separator component of the discharge mechanism can initially separate the beef strips, and the second separator component can lift them upwards a certain distance every other piece of beef, ensuring that the strips only partially overlap, significantly reducing the difficulty of subsequent separation processes and facilitating subsequent processing of raw beef. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic stripping machine for raw beef processing, which solves the technical problems of severe adhesion of beef strips and high difficulty in the separation process in the prior art.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an automatic stripping machine for processing raw beef includes: a frame 1 for support; a feeding mechanism 2 for driving beef to move toward a cutting mechanism 3 and adjusting the height of a second separating component 42 according to the thickness of the beef; a cutting mechanism 3 for cutting the beef; a discharging mechanism 4 for driving the cut beef strips out of the equipment and separating adjacent beef slices; and a connecting rod 5 for connecting the cutting mechanism 3 and the second separating component 42.

[0022] The feed end of the frame 1 is horizontally provided with a feed plate 11, and the beef is placed on the feed plate 11 during operation.

[0023] The feeding mechanism 2 is slidably mounted on the frame 1, and the feeding mechanism 2 is located above the feeding plate 11.

[0024] The cutting mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. Specifically, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a blade holder 31, a cutting blade assembly 32, and a first motor 33. The blade holder 31 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the cutting blade assembly 32 is rotatably mounted on the blade holder 31, and the first motor 33 is connected to the cutting blade assembly 32.

[0025] Please see Figures 3 to 7As shown, the discharging mechanism 4 includes a first separating component 41, a second separating component 42, and a driving component 43. The first separating component 41 includes a bracket 411, a discharging plate 412, and a first separating plate 414. The bracket 411 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the first separating plate 414 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 411. It should be noted that the position of the first separating plate 414 corresponds to the position of the blade of the cutting blade assembly 32 in the cutting mechanism 3. That is, when the cut beef strips move towards the discharging end of the frame 1 under the drive of the driving component 43, the first separating plate 414 can separate the beef strips, effectively preventing them from sticking together completely after cutting.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the support 411 is also provided with a discharge plate 412 and a rectangular groove 413. The discharge plate 412 and the rectangular groove 413 are spaced apart in the gap between two adjacent first partition plates 414.

[0027] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the second separating component 42 includes a second sliding plate 421, a second separating plate 422, and a boss 423. The second sliding plate 421 is slidably mounted on the frame 1, and the second separating plate 422 is fixedly mounted on the lower end surface of the second sliding plate 421. The position of the second separating plate 422 corresponds to the rectangular groove 413, and the boss 423 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the second separating plate 422. That is, the cut beef strips are separated by the first separating plate 414, and the beef slices located on the discharge plate 412 move along the discharge plate 412 towards the discharge end of the frame 1 under the drive of the driving component 43; the beef strips located at the second separating plate 422 slide down onto the boss 423 under the drive of the driving component 43, and move along the boss 423 towards the discharge end of the frame 1. During this process, the beef strips are raised to a certain extent, preferably half the thickness of the beef, so that the cut beef strips only partially overlap, which facilitates subsequent separation.

[0028] The drive assembly 43 is installed at one end of the second slide plate 421 near the cutting mechanism 3.

[0029] Please see Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the drive assembly 43 includes a connecting rod 431, a drive wheel 432, and a third spring 436. The upper end of the connecting rod 431 is hinged to the lower end surface of the second slide plate 421, and the position of the connecting rod 431 corresponds to the gap between two adjacent first partition plates 414. The drive wheel 432 is rotatably disposed at the lower end of the connecting rod 431, and the lower end of the connecting rod 431 is connected to the lower end surface of the second slide plate 421 through the third spring 436. It can be understood that the third spring 436 drives the lower end of the connecting rod 431 to rotate downwards, ensuring that the drive wheel 432 continuously engages with the beef strip.

[0030] The drive assembly 43 further includes a drive shaft 433, a belt 434, and a second motor 435. The drive shaft 433 is rotatably mounted on the second slide plate 421, and the second motor 435 is connected to the drive shaft 433. The drive shaft 433 is connected to the drive wheel 432 via the belt 434. That is, the second motor 435 can drive the drive wheel 432 to rotate through the drive shaft 433 and the belt 434, thereby driving the beef strips to move towards the discharge end of the frame 1.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting rod 5 connects the feeding mechanism 2 and the second separating component 42. This can be understood as follows: when the feeding mechanism 2 drives the beef to move towards the cutting mechanism 3, the beef pushes the feeding mechanism 2 to slide upwards. The feeding mechanism 2, through the connecting rod 5, simultaneously drives the second separating component 42 to slide upwards, thereby adjusting the height of the boss 423 in the second separating component 42, and thus adjusting the distance the beef strip moves upwards.

[0032] Before processing begins, the chunks of raw beef are placed on the feed plate 11 at the feed end of the frame 1, and the feed mechanism 2 is pushed to move toward the cutting mechanism 3. During the sliding process, the feed mechanism 2 drives the second slide plate 421 of the second separating component 42 to slide synchronously through the connecting rod 5, thereby adjusting the height of the second separating plate 422.

[0033] After the equipment is started, the first motor 33 is powered on and drives the cutting blade assembly 32 to rotate at high speed on the blade holder 31. The feeding mechanism 2 smoothly conveys the raw beef to the cutting mechanism 3. The high-speed rotating cutting blade assembly 32 continuously cuts the raw beef into strips. The spacing between each cutting blade in the cutting blade assembly 32 is fixed to ensure that the beef strips are of uniform size.

[0034] After being cut, the beef strips directly enter the first separating component 41 of the discharge mechanism 4. The first separating plate 414 initially separates the beef strips to avoid large-area sticking. At the same time, the second separating plate 422 of the second separating component 42 is inserted into the rectangular groove 413 of the first separating component 41. Driven by the driving component 43, the second separating plate 422 lifts each beef strip a certain distance at intervals, so that adjacent beef strips only partially overlap.

[0035] During this process, the second motor 435 is powered on and drives the drive shaft 433 to rotate. The drive shaft 433 drives the drive wheel 432 to rotate through the belt 434, providing forward conveying power for the beef strips and assisting the beef strips to move towards the discharge end of the frame 1. The connecting rod 431, in conjunction with the elastic action of the third spring 436, ensures that the drive wheel 432 is always in close contact with the surface of the beef strips, adapting to slight changes in the thickness of the beef strips and ensuring stable transmission of conveying power.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The frame 1 also includes a first guide rod 12 and a first spring 13. The first guide rod 12 is fixedly installed at the feed end of the frame 1, and the first spring 13 is sleeved on the first guide rod 12.

[0038] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a first sliding plate 21 and a conveyor belt 22. The first sliding plate 21 is slidably mounted on a first guide rod 12 and is connected to the frame 1 via a first spring 13. The conveyor belt 22 is mounted on the first sliding plate 21. It can be understood that the first guide rod 12 provides a fixed trajectory for the sliding of the first sliding plate 21, preventing deviation during sliding. When the first spring 13 is in its natural state, it supports the first sliding plate 21 to maintain its initial height. When raw beef is placed on the feeding plate 11 and comes into contact with the feeding mechanism 2, the thickness of the beef pushes the first sliding plate 21 to slide along the first guide rod 12 and compresses the first spring 13. The elastic restoring force of the first spring 13 causes the conveyor belt 22 to fit tightly against the surface of the beef, ensuring effective transmission of conveying power.

[0039] It should be noted that, through the structure of the feeding mechanism 2, in conjunction with the first guide rod 12 and the first spring 13, this embodiment can achieve flexible adaptation to raw beef of different thicknesses, avoiding excessive compression and damage to the beef during the feeding process.

[0040] The frame 1 also includes a second guide rod 14 and a second spring 15. The second guide rod 14 is fixedly installed at the discharge end of the frame 1, and the second spring 15 is sleeved on the second guide rod 14. It should be noted that this arrangement works in conjunction with the feeding mechanism 2 to ensure that when the feeding mechanism 2 drives the second slide plate 421 to adjust its height via the connecting rod 5, the movement trajectory of the second separating component 42 is accurate, thereby ensuring the correspondence accuracy between the second separating plate 422 and the rectangular groove 413 of the first separating component 41.

[0041] The second slide plate 421 is slidably mounted on the second guide rod 14, and the second slide plate 421 is connected to the frame 1 by the second spring 15.

[0042] This can be understood as follows: the second guide rod 14 restricts the sliding direction of the second slide plate 421, preventing it from shifting left or right during the linkage adjustment process, and preventing the second partition plate 422 from failing to accurately insert into the rectangular slot 413; the second spring 15 provides elastic restoring force for the second slide plate 421. When the feeding mechanism 2 drives the second slide plate 421 to adjust to a height suitable for the thickness of the beef, the second spring 15 can stabilize the second slide plate 421 in this position, preventing height shift due to vibration during equipment operation, ensuring that the lifting height of the second partition plate 422 on the beef strip is always half the thickness of the beef, and ensuring the consistency of the separation effect.

[0043] Before processing begins, chunks of raw beef are placed on the feed plate 11 at the feed end of the frame 1. The thickness of the beef itself exerts downward pressure on the first sliding plate 21 of the feeding mechanism 2, pushing the first sliding plate 21 to slide downward along the first guide rod 12, while simultaneously compressing the first spring 13. During the sliding process of the first sliding plate 21, the connecting rod 5 drives the second sliding plate 421 of the second separating component 42 to slide synchronously along the second guide rod 14. The second spring 15 then undergoes elastic deformation, achieving precise adjustment of the height of the second separating plate 422 to match the current thickness of the beef. At this time, the elastic restoring force of the first spring 13 makes the upper surface of the conveyor belt 22 fit tightly against the upper surface of the raw beef, completing the flexible adaptation before feeding.

[0044] After the equipment is started, the first motor 33 is powered on and drives the cutting blade assembly 32 to rotate at high speed on the blade holder 31. The conveyor belt 22 of the feeding mechanism 2 runs and smoothly transports the raw beef to the cutting mechanism 3. During this process, the first guide rod 12 ensures that the first slide plate 21 always slides in a fixed direction to avoid feeding deviation. The elasticity of the first spring 13 can adapt to the slight changes in the thickness of the beef in real time, ensuring the stability of the feeding process and thus ensuring the cutting accuracy.

[0045] The subsequent cutting, initial separation by the discharge mechanism 4, beef strip lifting, auxiliary conveying by the drive component 43, and output processes are all completely consistent with those in Embodiment 1. The newly added guide support structure in this embodiment further enhances the stability of the equipment's feeding and the precision of its linkage adjustment, reducing processing errors caused by feeding deviation or misalignment of the separation components, and improving overall processing quality and efficiency.
