Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular relates to a sausage cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing, especially in the production of sausages, it is often necessary to cut continuously filled sausages at the knots to form individual sausages. Traditional cutting methods mostly use manual scissors or simple fixed double-blade structures. One common sausage cutting device consists of two long, cross-shaped blades that can rotate relative to each other. However, with long-term use, the blades wear down and no longer fit tightly together. The cutting edges of the two blades are prone to separation or misalignment, resulting in incomplete cutting of knots and a tendency to jam. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sausage cutting device that can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, an embodiment of the present invention provides a sausage cutting device, including a pressing plate, a movable rod, an elastic element, and two blades. The movable rod extends along the X-axis, and the pressing plate and the movable rod are spaced apart along the X-axis. One end of the movable rod passes through the pressing plate and is slidably connected to the pressing plate, and the other end is provided with a limiting flange. The two blades are located between the pressure plate and the limiting flange. The blades extend along the Y-axis and are intersecting and fitted together. Both blades are rotatably connected to the movable rod and can move along the axial direction of the movable rod, and can swing relative to each other around the movable rod. The elastic element is used to drive the movable rod to move along its axial direction and toward the pressure plate. The limiting flange can push the two blades to approach the pressure plate and make the blade closest to the pressure plate adhere to the pressure plate.

[0005] Optionally, it also includes a mounting base, which is disposed along the extension direction of the movable rod on the side of the pressure plate away from the limiting flange. The mounting base is provided with a mounting groove at one end away from the pressure plate and a connecting groove adapted to the pressure plate at the other end. The pressure plate is installed in the connecting groove and is partially exposed relative to the connecting groove. The elastic element is a spring, which is installed in the mounting groove and sleeved on the movable rod. A support plate is provided at the end of the movable rod away from the limiting flange. The two ends of the elastic element abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove and the support plate, respectively.

[0006] Optionally, a nut is threaded to the end of the movable rod away from the limiting flange. The nut abuts against the support plate, and rotating the nut can push the support plate to move toward the limiting flange.

[0007] Optionally, it also includes a movable seat and a swing plate, wherein the movable seat forms two connecting arms that are spaced apart vertically, and the opposing surfaces of the two connecting arms are provided with a first tooth pattern; Two swing plates are provided, located between the two connecting arms and extending outward along the radial direction of the movable rod. One end of the swing plate is rotatably connected to the mounting base. The extended end of the swing plate forms an arc surface concentric with the movable rod. The arc surfaces of the two swing plates face one of the connecting arms respectively. The arc surfaces are provided with second teeth arranged along their bending path. The second teeth on the two swing plates respectively mesh with the first teeth on the corresponding connecting arms. The two blades are rotatably connected to the corresponding swing plates by fasteners. The movable seat can move along the Y-axis, causing the two connecting arms to push the corresponding swing plate to swing around the movable rod, thereby driving the two blades to rotate relative to each other around the movable rod.

[0008] Optionally, it also includes a limiting plate, which is provided with a limiting hole corresponding to the fastener, through which the fastener passes, and the limiting hole extends along the movement trajectory of the fastener.

[0009] Optionally, it also includes a protective cover, which is snapped into the limiting plate. The protective cover has a cavity in which the connecting arm, the swing plate, and the mounting base are accommodated.

[0010] Optionally, a step is provided on the outer side of the mounting base, and the two swing plates are located between the limiting plate and the step, with the swing plate closer to the step in contact with the step. Optionally, it also includes a drive mechanism for driving the movable seat to reciprocate along the Y-axis.

[0011] Optionally, it also includes a guide rail, which extends along the movement direction of the movable seat, and a slider is matched on the guide rail. A slide block is fixed on the slider, and the movable seat is fixedly connected to the slide block. The drive mechanism includes a motor and a connecting rod. The motor is arranged along the X-axis, and an eccentric shaft is provided on the shaft of the motor. The two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft and the slide, respectively.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a mounting plate, on which the motor is fixed, and a fixing plate is provided on the mounting plate, and the mounting base is fixedly connected to the fixing plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are: by driving the movable rod axially through the elastic element, the limiting flange pushes the two blades closer to the pressure plate, ensuring that the blade closest to the pressure plate is in close contact with the pressure plate. This structure ensures that the two blades maintain good contact during the shearing process, avoiding incomplete shearing or jamming problems caused by gaps. The structure is simple, compact, and reliable in operation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a sausage cutting device, including a pressing plate 100, a movable rod 200, an elastic element 300, and two blades 400. The movable rod 200 extends along the X-axis, and the pressing plate 100 and the movable rod 200 are spaced apart along the X-axis. One end of the movable rod 200 passes through the pressing plate 100 and slides with it, while the other end of the movable rod 200 is provided with a limiting flange 210. The limiting flange 210 is an annular protrusion or a fixing ring, etc., with a diameter larger than the body of the movable rod 200.

[0027] Both blades 400 are located between the pressure plate 100 and the limiting flange 210. Each blade 400 is generally elongated, with its length along the Y-axis. The two blades 400 intersect and fit together, forming a scissor structure. A cutting edge is provided at the front end of each blade 400. Each blade 400 has a mounting hole located near its rear end. The movable rod 200 passes through this mounting hole, allowing the blade 400 to rotate relative to the movable rod 200. The elastic element 300 drives the movable rod 200 to move towards the pressure plate 100, thereby pushing the two blades 400 closer to the pressure plate 100, ultimately bringing the blade 400 closest to the pressure plate 100 into contact with it. This structure ensures that the two blades 400 maintain good contact during the shearing process, avoiding incomplete shearing or jamming caused by gaps. The structure is simple, compact, and reliable in operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the sausage cutting device is also provided with a mounting base 500. The mounting base 500 is located on the side of the pressing plate 100 away from the limiting flange 210 and extends along the X-axis direction.

[0029] The mounting base 500 has a mounting groove 510 at one end away from the pressure plate 100, and a connecting groove 520 adapted to the pressure plate 100 at the other end. The pressure plate 100 is installed in the connecting groove 520, with a portion exposed relative to the connecting groove 520. The elastic element 300 is a spring, which is installed in the mounting groove 510 and sleeved on the movable rod 200. A support piece 220, such as a weld or retaining ring, is fixed to the end of the movable rod 200 away from the limiting flange 210. The two ends of the spring abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 510 and the support piece 220, respectively. The spring force forces the limiting flange 210 to move towards the pressure plate 100, thereby pressing the limiting flange 210 against the blade 400.

[0030] To adjust the preload of the spring, the end of the movable rod 200 away from the limiting flange 210 is machined with an external thread and threadedly connected to an adjusting member 230. The adjusting member 230 is preferably a nut 230. Rotating the nut can push the support plate 220, thereby compressing the spring and increasing the clamping force between the blade 400 and the pressure plate 100.

[0031] Furthermore, a movable base 600 and two swing plates 700 are also installed. Two connecting arms 610 are formed on the movable base 600, spaced vertically apart. First teeth 611 are machined on the opposing surfaces of the two connecting arms 610, extending along the Y-axis. The two swing plates 700 are located between the two connecting arms 610, each extending outward radially (Z-axis direction) along the movable rod 200. One end of each swing plate 700 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 500. The extended end of the swing plate 700 has an arc surface, concentrically aligned with the movable rod 200. Second teeth 710 are machined on the arc surface, following the curvature of the arc surface.

[0032] The second teeth 710 on the two swing plates 700 respectively engage with the first teeth 611 on the corresponding connecting arms 610, and the two blades 400 are respectively connected to the two swing plates 700. Specifically, the second teeth 710 of the upper swing plate 700 engages with the first teeth 611 of the upper connecting arm 610, and the second teeth 710 of the lower swing plate 700 engages with the first teeth 611 of the lower connecting arm 610. The two blades 400 are respectively fixed to the corresponding swing plates 700 by fasteners 410, and the blades 400 are rotatably connected to the fasteners 410.

[0033] Two blades 400 are rotatably connected to the corresponding swing plates 700 via fasteners 410. Specifically, the fastener is a bolt, the shank of which passes through the extension end of the swing plate 700. A spacer (not shown in the figure) is fitted on the bolt, and a nut (not shown in the figure) is fitted on it. The nut is threaded to one end of the bolt that passes through the swing plate 700. The swing plate 700 is located between the nut and the spacer. The rear end of the blade is rotatably connected to the shank of the corresponding bolt and is located between the head of the bolt and the spacer.

[0034] When the movable seat 600 moves along the Y-axis, the connecting arm 610 forces the swing plate 700 to swing around the axis of the movable rod 200 through the engagement of the first tooth 611 and the second tooth 710. Since the swing plate 700 is connected to the blade 400, the two blades 400 rotate relative to each other around the movable rod 200 (i.e., open or close), thus realizing the shearing action.

[0035] To prevent the blade 400 from shifting or moving excessively during its oscillation, a limiting plate 800 is provided. A fastener 410 between the blade 400 and the oscillation plate 700 passes through a limiting hole 810 in the limiting plate 800. The limiting hole 810 is an elongated arc-shaped hole, and its trajectory matches the movement trajectory of the fastener 410 during the oscillation of the blade 400. When the blade 400 oscillates, the fastener 410 slides within the limiting hole 810, thereby precisely constraining the oscillation angle range of the blade 400.

[0036] In addition, a step 530 is provided on the outer side of the mounting base 500, and two swing plates 700 are located between the limiting plate 800 and the step 530, with the swing plate 700 closer to the step 530 in contact with the step 530. This can prevent the swing plate 700 from moving axially and ensure that the first tooth 611 and the second tooth 710 are always in the correct meshing position.

[0037] To protect the internal parts, a protective cover 980 is also provided. The protective cover 980 is engaged with the limiting plate 800, forming a cavity inside, which accommodates most of the connecting arm 610, the swing plate 700, and the mounting base 500.

[0038] To achieve automated cutting, the sausage cutting device is also equipped with a drive mechanism 900. Specifically, the drive mechanism 900 includes a motor 910 and a connecting rod 920. It also includes a guide rail 930, a slider 940, and a slide block 950. The guide rail 930 extends along the movement direction of the movable seat 600, and the slider 940 is fitted onto the guide rail 930. The slide block 950 is fixed to the slider 940. The movable seat 600 and the slide block 950 are fixedly connected by screws or bolts. The motor 910 is positioned along the X-axis, and an eccentric shaft 911 is mounted on the shaft of the motor 910. The two ends of the connecting rod 920 are rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft 911 and the slide block 950, respectively. When the motor 910 rotates, the eccentric shaft 911 drives the connecting rod 920 to reciprocate, thereby driving the slide block 950 and the movable seat 600 to reciprocate along the Y-axis, achieving continuous cutting.

[0039] The motor 910 is fixed on the mounting plate 960, and the mounting plate 960 is provided with a fixing plate 970. The mounting base 500 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 970, thereby providing stable support for the entire shearing section.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
