Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of meat product slicing technology, specifically to a meat product processing slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of my country's social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the consumption of meat products is increasing day by day. In the process of deep processing of meat products, slicing is one of the most widely used and in-demand links. The uniformity of meat slice thickness, the flatness of the cut surface, and the processing efficiency directly affect the subsequent cooking effect and the edible quality of the finished product.

[0003] Currently, existing meat slicing equipment still faces the following technical challenges in practical applications: Traditional slicers mostly use fixed blade holders. During long-term high-speed cutting, the gap between the cutter and the feeding mechanism is prone to change due to mechanical wear or thermal expansion. Due to the lack of an automatic compensation mechanism, the sliced ​​meat is uneven in thickness, and there may even be meat jamming or tearing of meat fibers, which seriously affects the appearance of the product.

[0004] Most slicers only have a single cutting function. After meat is frozen or stored, the tissue fibers are often quite tight. Simple slicing cannot improve the texture of the meat. To tenderize the meat slices, they usually need to be transferred to another tenderizing device for secondary processing, which increases the risk of microbial growth and labor costs during the transfer process. Therefore, a meat product processing slicer is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a meat product processing slicer in response to the shortcomings of the prior art.

The cutting mechanism, located below the hopper, is used to cut the meat; The support mechanism is located on the outer wall of the hopper and connected to the conveying mechanism. It is used to adjust the distance between the hopper and the conveying mechanism to control the thickness of the meat slices. The conveying mechanism includes: Two conveyor rollers are rotatably connected between two mounting frames; The conveyor belt, which is connected to the outer wall of the conveyor rollers and is set between the mounting frames, is used to transport the cut meat slices; The motor is mounted on the outer wall of the front mounting frame, and its output end is connected to one of the conveyor rollers to drive the conveyor rollers to rotate.

[0007] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame, and the bottom of each fixing rod is connected to a support by two support rods respectively; Furthermore, the top two sides of the support are connected to the front and rear fixed rods and are located below the conveying mechanism to support the conveying mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes: The mounting sleeve is installed on the back of the rear mounting frame, and a bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom to support the mounting sleeve. One side of the mounting sleeve is positioned above the conveyor belt, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting sleeve. A circular hole is provided on the baffle, which slides against the outer wall of the hopper. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting sleeve via a bearing, and a floating component is provided on the outer wall of the drive shaft, on which a cutter is mounted for slicing meat.

[0009] Preferably, the floating component includes: A movable shaft is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the drive shaft, and a disc is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the movable shaft. The cutter is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the disc, and when rotating, one side is below the hopper and above the conveyor belt, used for cutting meat slices. The top of the disc is attached to the bottom of the hopper to prevent the disc from moving upwards. A spring is fitted on the outer wall of the movable shaft to push the movable shaft upward.

[0010] The bottom of the baffle is fixedly connected with soft bristles, which are positioned opposite to the conveyor belt in the transmission direction for cleaning the cutter. Preferably, the support mechanism includes: A retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hopper to secure the hopper. Multiple movable sleeves are arranged in pairs on the front and rear sides of the hopper and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed ring. Two adjusting rods are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two movable sleeves, respectively. Multiple round rods are fixedly connected to the top of a fixed rod in pairs, and the outer walls of the round rods are movably inserted into the outer wall of the movable sleeve and slide up and down.

[0011] Preferably, an adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the adjusting rod, and the bottom of the adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rod, which is used to push the adjusting rod upward to push the hopper to move longitudinally.

[0012] Preferably, the rolling mechanism includes: Two movable blocks are movably connected to the baffle. An arc-shaped fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the two movable blocks and is located below the baffle. Multiple circular rings are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped fixing rod, and roll relative to the cut meat slices to tenderize them.

[0013] Preferably, the rolling mechanism further includes: The connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two movable blocks and is positioned above the baffle. Multiple movable rods are fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, and the connecting rods can move through the movable rods. Multiple tension springs are fitted onto the outer wall of the movable rod to pull the connecting rod downwards.

[0014] The present invention, by adopting the above technical solution, can bring the following beneficial effects: 1. This meat processing slicer, by setting a floating component supported by springs on the outer wall of the drive shaft, ensures that the disc and cutter are always under force and move upward during rotation, and fit tightly with the bottom of the hopper. The floating fit can automatically compensate for the gap caused by the wear of the cutter, ensure the flatness of the cutting surface, and effectively prevent the occurrence of meat clamping and meat breaking.

[0015] 2. This meat processing slicer, through the threaded engagement of the adjusting screw and the fixed rod in the support mechanism, allows the operator to finely adjust the longitudinal height of the feeding hopper relative to the conveyor belt. Because the feeding hopper slides along the round rod with good guiding properties, the thickness of the meat slices can be controlled more precisely, adapting to the diverse needs of different processes for meat slice specifications.

[0016] 3. This meat processing slicer adds a roller pressing mechanism at the rear end of the cutting mechanism. The continuous pressure of the tension spring, combined with the rotating ring, rolls and squeezes the cut meat slices in real time. This not only flattens and compacts the meat slices, but also achieves tenderization through physical means, significantly improving the taste and eating quality of the slices.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-7 One embodiment of the present invention is: a meat product processing slicer, including a feeding hopper 1, the bottom of each fixed rod 7 is connected to a support 6 by two support rods 8, the top sides of the support 6 are connected to the front and rear fixed rods 7, and are set below the conveying mechanism 3 for support.

[0021] The conveying mechanism 3 is located below the hopper 1 and is used to convey the cut meat slices. The conveying mechanism 3 includes two conveying rollers 31, which are rotatably connected between two mounting frames 33 respectively. A conveyor belt 32 is driven to its outer wall. The motor 34 is installed on the outer wall of the front mounting frame 33, and its output end is connected to one of the conveying rollers 31 to drive the conveying roller 31 to rotate. The hopper 1 serves as the feeding port for the meat pieces to be processed. A support mechanism 2 is provided on its outer wall to adjust the distance between it and the conveying mechanism 3 below.

[0022] The support mechanism 2 achieves precise control of the meat slice thickness. The fixed ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feeding hopper 1, and two sets of movable sleeves 22 are connected to its bottom. The adjusting rod 24 is rotatably connected to the adjusting screw 25. The bottom of the adjusting screw 25 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed rod 7. By rotating the adjusting screw 25, the adjusting rod 24 is pushed to move upward, thereby causing the movable sleeve 22 to slide up and down on the outer wall of the round rod 23, realizing the longitudinal displacement adjustment of the feeding hopper 1. The cutting mechanism 5 is the core cutting unit of this device. The mounting sleeve 51 is installed on the back of the rear mounting frame 33, supported at the bottom by the bracket 53, and a baffle 52 with a circular hole is fixed at the top and slides on the outer wall of the hopper 1. Floating cutting: The drive shaft 54 ​​is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 51, and a movable shaft 55 is slidably sleeved on its outer wall. The movable shaft 55 is pushed upward by the spring 58. The cutter 57 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the disc 56, and the disc 56 is sleeved on the movable shaft 55. Under the pressure of the spring 58, the top of the disc 56 is pressed against the bottom of the hopper 1, ensuring that the cutter can stick to the bottom of the hopper when rotating and cutting, thus improving the slicing quality. The bottom of the baffle 52 is fixedly connected to soft bristles 59, which are set opposite to the conveyor belt transmission direction and are used to clean the meat residue on its surface during the rotation of the cutter. After cutting, the meat slices need to be processed by the roller pressing mechanism 4 for quality optimization. Two movable blocks 41 are connected to the baffle 52, and multiple movable rods 45 are fixed to the top of the baffle. A connecting rod 44 passes through the movable rod and is fitted with a tension spring 46. The tension spring 46 pulls the connecting rod 44 down, causing multiple rings 43 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped fixed rod 42 to roll and compact the meat slices. The rings 43 roll relative to the cut meat slices, which plays a role in tenderizing and improving the taste of the meat products.

[0023] Working principle: Before cutting begins, the height of the feeding hopper 1 is adjusted by the support mechanism 2 according to the required meat slice thickness. The operator rotates the adjusting screw 25. Since the bottom of the adjusting screw 25 is threadedly connected to the fixed rod 7, the rotation of the screw will push the adjusting rod 24 to move up or down. Since the adjusting rod 24 is fixedly connected to the movable sleeve 22, and the movable sleeve 22 is connected to the outer wall of the feeding hopper 1 through the fixed ring 21, the feeding hopper 1 will slide up and down along the outer wall of the round rod 23 fixed on the base. By changing the longitudinal distance between the bottom of the feeding hopper 1 and the lower conveying mechanism 3, the exposed length of the meat piece to be cut can be precisely controlled, thereby determining the thickness of the slice. Subsequently, after the meat pieces to be processed are put into the feeding hopper 1, the motor 34 of the conveying mechanism 3 is started. The motor 34 drives one of the conveying rollers 31 to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 32 to drive between the two mounting frames 33, providing continuous power output for the cut meat slices. At the same time, the cutting mechanism 5 starts to work. The drive shaft 54 ​​drives the floating component on its outer wall to rotate. In the floating component, the movable shaft 55, under the upward thrust of the spring 58, makes the top of the disc 56 tightly fit against the bottom of the feeding hopper 1. The cutter 57 installed on the edge of the disc 56 rotates at high speed. Its rotation trajectory passes through the gap between the bottom of the feeding hopper 1 and the top of the conveyor belt 32, and performs transverse cutting on the meat pieces falling into this area. Since the disc 56 is slidably sleeved on the drive shaft 54 ​​through the movable shaft 55 and equipped with a spring 58, this floating design can automatically compensate for the gap between the cutter 57 and the bottom of the hopper 1, ensuring the flatness of the cutting surface and preventing meat from getting stuck. During the cutting process, the soft bristles 59 at the bottom of the baffle 52 are set relative to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 32. When the cutter 57 rotates and passes by, the soft bristles 59 can automatically brush away the meat scraps or grease remaining on the blade, realizing the self-cleaning of the cutter. After being cut, the meat slices fall onto the conveyor belt 32 and move backward. They pass through the roller pressing mechanism 4, which pulls the connecting rod 44 downward through the tension spring 46. This causes the movable block 41 to drive the arc-shaped fixed rod 42 to apply downward pressure. Multiple rings 43, which are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped fixed rod 42, roll synchronously with the meat slices on the conveyor belt. The compression of the meat slices by the rings 43 breaks down their fiber structure, thereby achieving the rolling tenderization treatment of the processed meat slices and improving the taste of the finished product.

[0024] This invention provides a meat product slicing machine. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above are merely preferred embodiments. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention. All components not explicitly stated in this embodiment can be implemented using existing technology.
