Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chopper applications, specifically to an energy-saving high-speed chopper with adjustable temperature. Background Technology

[0002] Chopping machines (commonly known as chopping mixers) are core equipment in the food processing industry (especially meat processing). Through the precise coordination of high-speed rotating blades and low-speed rotating chopping pots, they achieve three core functions: fine chopping, uniform mixing, and efficient emulsification of materials. They are widely used in the production of sausages, ham, meatballs, fish balls, luncheon meat, pet food, and seasoning sauces.

[0003] The chopper mainly consists of a chopping pot: which holds the raw materials and rotates at low speed, continuously pushing the materials towards the blades; a chopping blade assembly: which rotates at high speed to chop the materials, achieving an emulsification effect; a discharge mechanism: a rotating turntable with a rotatable angle to discharge the materials from the chopping pot; a blade cover / protective device: to prevent material splashing and ensure operational safety; and a temperature control system: to precisely control the temperature to prevent protein denaturation and fat melting and precipitation.

[0004] In practical applications, the high-speed chopper's blades are vertically distributed inside the pot, while the drive shafts of the blades are located above the pot. This ensures that the pot and blades can rotate simultaneously without interference. Therefore, the pot's height is relatively low (shallow depth). Furthermore, the shallow depth facilitates material discharge. The chopper uses a turntable for discharge, which matches a groove inside the pot. During discharge, the operator uses a drive device to rotate the turntable and flip it into the pot, ensuring it is vertically fitted inside. This allows the material to be affected by the rotation of the turntable as the pot rotates. The material is discharged to the outside of the pot due to the blocking effect. At this time, there is a downward-sloping material drop chute on the outer edge of the pot. The material is guided into the material cylinder through the material drop chute. The shallow pot design is to facilitate the installation of the chopping knife and the discharge of the material. However, the total amount of material that can be added in the shallow pot is relatively low. When adding material for the second time, if there is too much auxiliary material, it will rotate and overflow when added directly. It needs to be added in multiple layers. If it is added continuously, the first batch of auxiliary material will be chopped before the second batch of auxiliary material is added. This results in uneven chopping of the auxiliary material, especially small pieces of ginger and garlic. Over-chopping will cause the original flavor to be lost and affect the product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving high-speed chopper with adjustable temperature to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving high-speed chopper with adjustable temperature, comprising a cabinet, a lifting platform mounted on the top of the cabinet via a telescopic assembly, an outer pot body rotatably connected to the top of the lifting platform, a sealing ring on the inner side of the outer pot body, an outer gear ring on the outer side of the outer pot body, a first gear rotatably connected to the top of the lifting platform, the first gear meshing with the outer gear ring, a square drive shaft at the bottom of the first gear, a drive shaft rotatably connected to the top of the cabinet, a drive assembly connected to the bottom of the drive shaft, the drive shaft and the square drive shaft being movably connected through each other, a feeding trough at the bottom of the cabinet, an installation column installed inside the feeding trough, a mixing assembly for mixing materials rotatably connected to the top of the installation column, an inner pot body rotatably connected to the outside of the installation column, the inner pot body and the outer pot body fitting together to form a pot body, chopping blades vertically distributed on the pot body, and the chopping blades connected to a drive mechanism.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, and designing the traditional integral pot body as a separate pot body, materials can be discharged directly from the bottom of the pot body, eliminating the need for a manually rotating turntable discharge structure. This makes operation easier for workers, improves the efficiency of material discharge, and allows the pot body to be taller because the materials are discharged directly from the bottom of the pot body, thereby increasing the total amount of material that can be chopped and mixed in a single batch. This makes it easier to add auxiliary materials later, reduces the need for repeated layering of materials, and ensures more uniform chopping and mixing of auxiliary materials, thus guaranteeing product quality.

[0008] The invention is further configured such that an extended pot body is provided on the top of the outer pot body, a toothed ring is provided on the side of the extended pot body, an annular groove is provided on the top of the extended pot body, and a pot lid is rotatably connected to the top of the equipment cabinet, with the pot lid matching the annular groove.

[0009] Preferably, due to the change in the discharge method, an extended pot body can be set (the extended pot body and the outer pot body are processed by integral welding), and the outer pot body is heightened, which can increase the capacity compared with the traditional integral shallow pot body.

[0010] The invention is further configured such that the driving mechanism is an irregularly shaped structure used to avoid the extended pot body at the top of the outer pot body.

[0011] Preferably, by setting an irregularly shaped drive mechanism, compared with the traditional straight rod drive mechanism which limits the height of the pot, the irregularly shaped drive mechanism can avoid the pot, making the pot taller, thereby increasing the pot capacity.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the stirring assembly includes a first mounting block rotatably connected to the mounting column, a second mounting block rotatably connected to the side of the first mounting block, a mounting frame rotatably connected to the side of the second mounting block, a pusher plate provided on one side of the mounting frame, and a second handle provided at one end of the mounting frame.

[0013] Preferably, by setting the first mounting block, the second mounting block and the mounting frame to be rotatably connected, the mixing component can be flipped over at will. It can be flipped upward to be stored and not used, or it can be flipped downward to be used. The grid-type pusher plate can both push the material and sort the material.

[0014] The invention is further configured such that a drive shaft is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame, and the drive shaft is driven by a gear set to connect two sets of stirring cutters. A second gear is provided at the end of the drive shaft, and the second gear meshes with a face gear ring. A first handle is provided at one end of the mounting frame.

[0015] Preferably, by setting two sets of stirring cutters, the rotation of the pot body drives the stirring cutters to rotate, which can stir and mix various materials. The uniformly mixed materials have a better chopping effect. The gear set is a speed-increasing transmission, which is used to make the two sets of stirring cutters rotate relative to each other along the rotation direction of the pot body.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that an arc-shaped limiting frame is provided on the top of the equipment cabinet, the arc-shaped limiting frame is matched with the second handle, and a notch is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped limiting frame to avoid the second handle.

[0017] Preferably, by setting an arc-shaped limiting frame, it is more convenient for staff to slide the mixing component left and right using the second handle.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that a locking frame is provided on one side of the arc-shaped limiting frame, and the locking frame matches the first handle.

[0019] Preferably, a locking bracket or other limiting structure, such as a locking lock, is used to lock and fix the first handle.

[0020] The invention is further configured such that the mounting column is hollow inside, and a rotating interface is provided between the mounting column and the inner pot body; the chopping blade is hollow inside, and a rotating interface is also provided at one end of the chopping blade; a temperature control device is connected between the inner pot body and the chopping blade via the rotating interface.

[0021] Preferably, the hollow spindle of the cleaver is mounted with a rotary joint connected to the temperature control device, and the mounting column is also mounted in the same way. The temperature control device is used to precisely control the temperature of the pot body to ensure the quality of product processing.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main beneficial effects: This invention transforms the traditional one-piece pot body into a separate pot body, allowing materials to be discharged directly from the bottom of the pot, eliminating the need for a manually rotating turntable discharge structure. This simplifies operation and improves material discharge efficiency. Furthermore, because materials are discharged directly from the bottom of the pot without a turntable, the pot height can be increased, thereby increasing the total amount of material chopped in a single batch. This makes subsequent addition of auxiliary materials more convenient, reduces the need for repeated layering, and ensures more uniform chopping and processing of auxiliary materials, thus guaranteeing product quality.

[0023] This invention features a stirring component that can be used for both adding and mixing materials. When adding individual pieces of material, such as cabbage, in traditional processes, workers often pour the cabbage into the pot all at once for convenience. This results in multiple cabbages clogging the inlets of the pot and lid, preventing them from being moved into the inner pot even when the pot rotates. Manually combing these cabbages by hand is dangerous. The stirring component, however, can rotate left and right around the pot, with a pusher plate assisting workers in pushing the cabbage into the inner pot. When adding ingredients like ginger and garlic, a grid-like pusher plate can comb through the ginger and garlic, ensuring more even distribution. Furthermore, the other end of the stirring component is equipped with a stirring cutter. Rotating the pot rotates the cutting blade, extending it into the material inside the pot to mix and enhance the chopping effect. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-15An energy-saving, temperature-adjustable high-speed chopper includes a cabinet 1. A lifting platform 3 is mounted on the top of the cabinet 1 via a telescopic assembly 2, which can be an electric telescopic rod. An outer pot body 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting platform 3. A sealing ring 8, made of food-grade rubber, is located on the inner side of the outer pot body 4. An external gear ring 9 is located on the outer side of the outer pot body 4. A first gear 10 is rotatably connected to the top of the lifting platform 3, meshing with the external gear ring 9. A square drive shaft 11 is located at the bottom of the first gear 10. A drive shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the top of the cabinet 1, and a drive assembly, such as a servo motor, is connected to the bottom of the drive shaft 12. The drive shaft 12 and the square drive shaft 11 are movably connected through each other. The bottom of the backup cabinet 1 is provided with a feeding trough 5, which is inclined to discharge materials. The feeding trough 5 is installed with a mounting column 6 inside. The top of the mounting column 6 is rotatably connected to a mixing component 16 for mixing materials. The outside of the mounting column 6 is rotatably connected to an inner pot body 7. The inner pot body 7 and the outer pot body 4 are interlocked to form a pot body. The surface of the sealing ring 8 can be provided with anti-slip texture to use friction to make the outer pot body 4 drive the inner pot body 7 to rotate. Alternatively, a ring of interlocking grooves and interlocking blocks can be provided to make the outer pot body 4 drive the inner pot body 7 to rotate. The pot body is vertically distributed with a chopping blade 13, which is connected to a drive mechanism 14. The drive mechanism 14 adopts a frequency conversion mode to achieve low-speed feeding and high-speed cutting, thereby achieving energy-saving effect.

[0029] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figures 9-11 The outer pot body 4 has an extension pot body 20 on its top, and a toothed ring 17 on the side of the extension pot body 20. The top of the extension pot body 20 has an annular groove. The top of the equipment cabinet 1 is rotatably connected to a pot lid 15, which matches the annular groove. Due to the change in the discharge method, an extension pot body 20 can be set (the extension pot body 20 and the outer pot body 4 are processed by integral welding), increasing the height of the outer pot body 4. Compared with the traditional integral shallow pot body, the capacity can be increased.

[0030] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 7 The drive mechanism 14 is an irregularly shaped structure used to avoid the extended pot body 20 at the top of the outer pot body 4. By setting the drive mechanism 14 with an irregular structure, compared with the traditional straight rod drive mechanism 14 which would limit the height of the pot body, the drive mechanism 14 with an irregular structure can avoid the pot body, making the pot body taller, thereby increasing the pot body capacity.

[0031] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 12 and Figure 13The mixing assembly 16 includes a first mounting block 1601 rotatably connected to the mounting column 6. A second mounting block 1602 is rotatably connected to the side of the first mounting block 1601. A mounting frame 1603 is rotatably connected to the side of the second mounting block 1602. A pusher plate 1604 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 1603, and a second handle 1610 is provided at one end of the mounting frame 1603. By setting the first mounting block 1601, the second mounting block 1602 and the mounting frame 1603 to be rotatably connected, the mixing assembly 16 can be flipped arbitrarily. It can be flipped upward to be put away and not used, or it can be flipped downward to be used. The grid-type pusher plate 1604 can both push and comb the material.

[0032] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 12 and Figure 13 The mounting bracket 1603 is internally connected to a drive shaft 1605, which is driven by a gear set 1606 to connect two sets of stirring cutters 1607. A second gear 1608 is provided at the end of the drive shaft 1605, which meshes with the face gear ring 17. A first handle 1609 is provided at one end of the mounting bracket 1603. By setting two sets of stirring cutters 1607, the rotation of the pot body drives the stirring cutters 1607 to rotate, which can stir and mix various materials. The uniformly mixed materials have a better chopping effect. The gear set 1606 is a speed-increasing transmission, which is used to make the two sets of stirring cutters 1607 rotate relative to each other along the rotation direction of the pot body.

[0033] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 14 The top of the equipment cabinet 1 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting frame 18, which matches the second handle 1610. The arc-shaped limiting frame 18 has a notch in the middle to avoid the second handle 1610. By setting the arc-shaped limiting frame 18, it is more convenient for the staff to slide the stirring component 16 left and right through the second handle 1610.

[0034] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 14 A locking frame 19 is provided on one side of the arc-shaped limiting frame 18. The locking frame 19 matches the first handle 1609. The locking frame 19, or other limiting structures such as a fixing lock, are used to lock and fix the first handle 1609.

[0035] Please refer to the above embodiments for further details. Figure 1The mounting column 6 is hollow inside, and a rotating interface is provided between the mounting column 6 and the inner pot body 7. The chopping blade 13 is also hollow inside, and a rotating interface is provided at one end of the chopping blade 13. A temperature control device is connected to the inner pot body 7 and the chopping blade 13 through the rotating interface. The hollow main shaft of the chopping blade 13 is mounted with a rotating joint and connected to the temperature control device. The mounting column 6 also adopts the same method. The temperature control device is used to accurately control the temperature of the pot body to ensure the product processing quality.

[0036] In practical operation, when using the high-speed chopper of this application, taking the mixing of minced meat as an example, the operator first opens the pot lid 15, then evenly spreads the cleaned meat into the outer pot body 4 and the inner pot body 7, then closes the pot lid 15, and starts the drive mechanism 14. The drive mechanism 14 drives the chopping blade 13 to rotate at high speed to chop the meat. At the same time, the drive assembly is started, which drives the drive shaft 12 to rotate. The drive shaft 12 drives the square transmission shaft 11, which is slidably fitted inside it, to rotate. The square transmission shaft 11 drives the drive shaft 12 connected to it to rotate. 2 drives the outer toothed ring 9 to rotate, thereby driving the outer pot body 4 to rotate. The outer pot body 4 drives the inner pot body 7 to rotate through the friction of the sealing ring 8 or the interlocking structure, so that the meat rotates slowly in the pot body. Thus, the chopping blade 13 can chop the meat from all directions. At the same time, the temperature control device is activated. The temperature control device uses the rotating interface to introduce cold circulating water into the installation position of the chopping blade 13, reducing the heat generated by the friction of the high-speed rotation of the chopping blade 13, and introducing cold circulating water from the inside of the mounting column 6 into the inner pot body 7 to cool down the meat in the pot body, preventing protein denaturation and fat melting.

[0037] When additional ingredients such as ginger and garlic need to be added, the worker flips the stirring assembly 16 down so that the pusher plate 1604 of the stirring assembly 16 faces into the pot. Then, while adding the ingredients, the second handle 1610 slides left and right within the arc-shaped limiting frame 18. The grid-like pusher plate 1604 is used to organize the ingredients, making them spread more evenly. If a large vegetable like cabbage is added, the pusher plate 1604 can also be used to push the cabbage into the inner pot to prevent it from blocking the pot lid 15 and the pot's entrance. Once the addition of ingredients is complete, the worker... The operator flips the stirring assembly 16, causing the stirring cutter 1607 of the stirring assembly 16 to extend into the pot. The operator then rotates the stirring assembly 16, causing the first handle 1609 of the stirring assembly 16 to engage in the engaging frame 19. This engages the second gear 1608 with the gear ring 17. The rotation of the pot drives the second gear 1608 to rotate via the gear ring 17. The second gear 1608, through the drive shaft 1605 and the gear set 1606, drives the two sets of stirring cutters 1607 to rotate. Thus, the stirring cutters 1607 can stir various materials, making the mixture more uniform.

[0038] After the minced meat is chopped, the drive mechanism 14 and drive assembly are turned off, and the telescopic assembly 2 is activated to lower the height of the lifting platform 3, thereby separating the outer pot body 4 and the inner pot body 7. The minced meat can fall directly into the feeding trough 5 through the gap between the outer pot body 4 and the inner pot body 7, and then be collected by the feeding cylinder.
