Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of slicing machine technology, specifically to an electrically automated slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, slicing equipment is widely used for cutting meat, fruits and vegetables, and frozen products. Traditional slicers are typically designed for specific materials and different processing needs, resulting in relatively simple functions. For example, fresh meat slicers mainly use a rotary circular blade structure, suitable for continuous slicing of fresh or semi-frozen meat; fruit and vegetable slicers often use high-speed rotating blades, utilizing centrifugal force or gravity feeding to quickly cut tender materials; while frozen meat slicers often use a shaving principle, equipped with high torque power and a heavy-duty propulsion mechanism, specifically for processing frozen meat blocks below -18℃. Due to significant differences in cutting principles, power characteristics, and feeding methods, these three types of equipment have long been designed as independent, specialized models.

[0003] However, this dedicated machine model has revealed many shortcomings in actual production. First, food processing enterprises or central kitchens often need to process multiple raw materials in different states simultaneously, especially small processing enterprises such as hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and school canteens. Purchasing separate fresh meat slicers, fruit and vegetable slicers, and frozen meat slicers would not only result in high equipment procurement costs but also occupy a large amount of valuable workshop space, leading to a crowded layout and chaotic workflow. Second, when switching processing tasks, operators must move materials between different machines, increasing material turnover time and labor intensity. Third, multiple machines each have independent power systems, control systems, and collection devices, leading to increased overall energy consumption and maintenance costs. In addition, when multiple materials need to be processed simultaneously, the outputs of each machine are independent, making it difficult to coordinate subsequent sorting and packaging processes and forming a continuous operation process. Therefore, how to organically integrate multiple slicing functions into one unit, achieving space reuse and functional integration, while ensuring that each cutting unit does not interfere with each other and that the outputs are diverted in an orderly manner, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The first flexible seal is configured as a compressible and foldable food-grade silicone protective cover or a metal telescopic cover, and is disposed between the flat conversion plate and the partition plate to maintain mutual isolation between the first slicing compartment, the second slicing compartment and the third slicing compartment when the flat conversion plate moves.

[0018] The second flexible seal is configured as a compressible and foldable food-grade silicone protective cover or a metal telescopic cover, and is disposed between the flat conversion plate and the bottom inner wall of the shared compartment to protect the bottom support mechanism disposed at the bottom of the shared compartment.

The fruit and vegetable feeding bin has a gradually decreasing diameter along the circumferential direction. The fruit and vegetable feeding bin has a fruit and vegetable inlet corresponding to the diameter of the fruit and vegetable feeding bin in the direction facing the second slicing bin.

[0036] According to the above technical solution, the frozen meat slicing mechanism includes:

[0037] A detachable slicer holder is detachably installed on the frozen meat inlet on the side wall of the third slicing compartment;

[0038] The frozen meat feeding unit is movably disposed on the outer wall of the third slicing bin via a reciprocating moving mechanism. The frozen meat feeding unit includes:

[0039] The frozen meat feeding bin is slidably installed on the linear guide rail on the outer wall of the third slicing bin, with an opening at the top and a second guide groove on the side wall.

[0040] The third electric telescopic cylinder has its cylinder body fixedly installed on the side wall of the frozen meat feeding bin, and a second guide plate fixedly installed on its telescopic end.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0051] (1) High integration and space reuse to achieve multiple functions in one machine

[0052] This device integrates fresh meat slicing, fruit and vegetable slicing, and frozen meat slicing into a single unit using a shared compartment. The three slicing compartments are arranged side-by-side, sharing the same bottom feeding mechanism and side collection compartments. Compared to purchasing three separate units, this device significantly reduces the floor space and procurement costs, while simultaneously enabling the slicing or slicing of three different materials—fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, and frozen meat—on a single machine, meeting diverse processing needs.

[0053] (2) The switching feeding mechanism realizes automatic material diversion and non-stop switching of the side for material discharge.

[0054] The flat conversion plate in the feeding mechanism consists of a hinged movable shaft and two flat tilting plates on both sides. The bottom support mechanism allows for precise adjustment of the tilting angle of the flat tilting plates via two independently controlled first electric telescopic cylinders. In the first working state, the flat conversion plate is in a "V" shape, higher in the middle and lower on both sides, causing the material cut by the fruit and vegetable slicing mechanism to automatically slide to one side of the collection bin, while the material cut by the fresh meat slicing mechanism and the frozen meat slicing mechanism automatically slides to the other side of the collection bin, achieving simultaneous cutting and automatic sorting of the three types of materials without manual intervention. In the second working state, the flat conversion plate tilts to a designated side, guiding all slices of a single material to the same side of the collection bin. When that side of the collection bin is full, simply adjusting the electric telescopic cylinders switches to the other side for discharge, enabling continuous operation without stopping the machine and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0055] (3) Multiple sealing and protection designs ensure the hygiene and reliability of the equipment.

[0056] The first flexible seal is located between the flat conversion plate and the partition plate. It compresses or expands with the movement of the flat conversion plate, maintaining constant isolation between the three slicing chambers and preventing the mixing of different materials within the chambers. The second flexible seal is located between the flat conversion plate and the inner wall of the bottom of the shared chamber, completely isolating the bottom support mechanism (moving parts such as the first electric telescopic cylinder and the arc-shaped guide rod) from the slicing material area, preventing food residue and juices from falling into the mechanical parts. Both seals use compressible, foldable food-grade silicone protective covers or metal telescopic covers with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, meeting food machinery hygiene standards and extending the service life of the moving parts.

[0057] (4) Key components adopt a quick-change design, making maintenance convenient.

[0058] Both the large-diameter circular cutter head and the high-speed rotating cutter head are equipped with quick-connect interfaces, allowing for rapid replacement without tools. This facilitates switching between cutter head types or performing cleaning and maintenance to meet different processing needs. The detachable cutter holder uses bolt or snap-fit ​​connections, making disassembly and replacement equally convenient. This simplifies daily cleaning and replacement of vulnerable parts in food processing equipment, reducing downtime for maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0119] Both the large-diameter circular cutter head 21 and the high-speed rotating cutter head 31 are equipped with quick-connect interfaces for rapid replacement.

[0120] This electrically automated slicer mainly consists of a shared compartment 1, a fresh meat slicing mechanism 2, a fruit and vegetable slicing mechanism 3, a frozen meat slicing mechanism 4, a conversion feeding mechanism 6, and two detachable collection compartments (first collection compartment 5A and second collection compartment 5B).

[0121] The shared compartment 1 has openings on both sides, and its interior is divided into three independent compartments by mirror-symmetrical partitions 11: the first slicing compartment 101, the second slicing compartment 102, and the third slicing compartment 103.

[0122] The fresh meat slicing mechanism 2 is located on the side wall of the first slicing chamber 101. The fresh meat slicing mechanism 2 is used for high-speed rotary cutting of fresh meat. The specific operating steps are as follows: The operator places a piece of fresh meat into the fresh meat feeding chamber 232 through the top opening. The second electric telescopic cylinder 234 is activated, pushing the first guide plate 235 and the first extrusion rod 236 along the first guide groove 233 towards the large-diameter circular cutter disc 21, pushing the fresh meat piece through the fresh meat inlet 231. Simultaneously, the first servo motor 22 drives the large-diameter circular cutter disc 21 to rotate at high speed. When the fresh meat piece contacts the rotating large-diameter circular cutter disc 21, it is continuously cut into thin slices. The cut fresh meat slices fall into the lower conversion feeding mechanism 6 under gravity.

[0123] The fruit and vegetable slicing mechanism 3 is located at the top of the second slicing chamber 102. This mechanism is used for high-speed rotary cutting of fruits and vegetables. The specific operating steps are as follows: The operator feeds fruits and vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, etc.) into the top of the fruit and vegetable feeding chamber 33 (the feeding chamber 33 can be configured in various shapes, including a normal cylindrical shape or a tapered structure; the tapered structure can provide some gathering and restraint for stem-type fruits and vegetables). Under the influence of gravity, the material concentrates towards the central fruit and vegetable inlet 331. The second servo motor 32 drives the high-speed rotating cutter head 31 to rotate at high speed. After the fruits and vegetables fall into the blade area of ​​the high-speed rotating cutter head 31, they are instantly cut into slices or shreds (the type of cutter head can be quickly changed depending on its type). The cut fruit and vegetable slices fall into the lower conversion feeding mechanism 6 under the influence of centrifugal force and gravity.

[0124] The frozen meat slicing mechanism 4 is located on the side wall of the third slicing chamber 103. This mechanism is used for precise slicing of frozen meat blocks with high torque. The specific operating steps are as follows: The operator places the frozen meat block (usually around -18℃) into the frozen meat feeding chamber 421 through the top opening. First, the third servo motor 432 starts, driving the ball screw 433 to rotate. This rotation, via the screw nut 436, drives the side wing connecting plate 431, thereby moving the entire frozen meat feeding chamber 421 along the linear guide rail 422 towards the detachable slicing blade holder 41 (overall feeding). When the front end of the frozen meat block contacts the slicing blade on the slicing blade holder, the blade slices thin slices layer by layer. Simultaneously, the third electric telescopic cylinder 424 starts, pushing the second guide plate 425 and the second extrusion rod 426 along the second guide groove 4211, which in turn pushes the protruding end 4231 of the pusher plate 423 towards the slicing blade. The sliced ​​frozen meat falls into the lower conversion feeding mechanism 6.

[0125] The feeding mechanism 6 is located at the bottom of the shared storage unit 1, below the three slicing mechanisms, and is used to receive the cut material and divert it to the collection bins on both sides. The first collection bin 5A and the second collection bin 5B are detachably installed on the opening sides of the shared storage unit 1. Each collection bin is equipped with a separator 51, which divides it into a fresh meat slice collection area 501, a fruit and vegetable slice collection area 502, and a frozen meat slice collection area 503, which correspond to the three slicing mechanisms respectively.

[0126] During the movement of the flat conversion plate 61, the first flexible seal 62 compresses or expands as the distance between the flat conversion plate 61 and the partition plate 11 changes, always maintaining the isolation between the three slicing chambers and preventing different materials from mixing inside the chambers. The second flexible seal 63 compresses or expands as the distance between the flat conversion plate 61 and the bottom inner wall of the shared chamber 1 changes, always covering the bottom support mechanism 64, preventing food residue and juice from falling into moving parts such as the first electric telescopic cylinder 642 and the arc-shaped guide rod 643, ensuring long-term reliable operation and hygiene safety of the equipment.

[0127] This equipment has two typical operating states, which can be achieved by controlling the first electric telescopic cylinder 642 of the bottom support mechanism 64.

[0128] State 1: Three materials are processed simultaneously, with automatic diversion (first working state)

[0129] Simultaneously, fresh meat slices, fruit and vegetable slices, and frozen meat slices are processed, with fruit and vegetable slices collected on one side (first collection chamber 5A) and fresh and frozen meat slices collected on the other side (second collection chamber 5B).

[0130] Adjusting the feeding mechanism 6: The control system issues a command, and the two first electric telescopic cylinders 642 extend synchronously, pushing the hinged movable shaft 611 to its highest position, causing the flat flip plates 612 on both sides to tilt downwards in a "V" shape. At this time, the guide surface of the flat flip plate 61 is high in the middle and low on both sides.

[0131] Start all slicing mechanisms:

[0132] Fresh meat slicing mechanism 2: The first servo motor 22 drives the large-diameter circular blade 21 to rotate, and the second electric telescopic cylinder 234 pushes the fresh meat block to feed towards the blade. The cut fresh meat slices fall into the bottom of the first slicing chamber 101 and onto the left-side flat flipping plate 612.

[0133] Fruit and vegetable slicing mechanism 3: The second servo motor 32 drives the high-speed rotating blade 31 to rotate. Fruits and vegetables fall from the fruit and vegetable feeding bin 33 into the blade, and the sliced ​​fruit and vegetables fall into the bottom of the second slicing bin 102 and land on the flat flip plate 612 in the middle area.

[0134] Frozen meat slicing mechanism 4: The third servo motor 432 drives the ball screw 433 to feed the frozen meat feeding bin 421 as a whole. At the same time, the third electric telescopic cylinder 424 assists the pusher plate 423 to push the frozen meat towards the slicing blade holder 41. The sliced ​​frozen meat falls into the bottom of the third slicing bin 103 and onto the right-side flat flipping plate 612.

[0135] Material diversion:

[0136] Because the flat conversion plate 61 is higher in the middle and lower on both sides, the fruit and vegetable slices (located in the middle area) slide to the left (or right, depending on the specific tilt direction) under the action of gravity. According to the settings, the fruit and vegetable slices slide towards the first collection chamber 5A.

[0137] Fresh meat slices and frozen meat slices are located on the left and right straight flip plates 612 respectively. Since both straight flip plates 612 are tilted downwards, the fresh meat slices and frozen meat slices slide outwards and eventually fall into the second collection chamber 5B.

[0138] Collection: In the first collection bin 5A, the separator 51 guides fruit and vegetable slices to the fruit and vegetable slice collection area 502; in the second collection bin 5B, the separator 51 guides fresh meat slices to the fresh meat slice collection area 501 and frozen meat slices to the frozen meat slice collection area 503. Operators can take out different materials separately without manual sorting.

[0139] State 2: Continuous operation of a single material, switching to the discharge side (second working state)

[0140] Objective: To process only fruit and vegetable slices (or only fresh meat / only frozen meat), and switch to the other side for discharge without stopping the machine when one collection bin is full.

[0141] The initial discharge side is the first collection bin 5A:

[0142] The control system commands the two first electric telescopic cylinders 642 to extend to different lengths: so that the left flat flip plate 612 is lower than the right flat flip plate 612, that is, the flat conversion plate 61 is tilted towards the first collection chamber 5A.

[0143] The fruit and vegetable slicing mechanism 3 is activated, and all the sliced ​​fruit and vegetable pieces slide into the fruit and vegetable slice collection area 502 of the first collection chamber 5A.

[0144] After the first collection chamber 5A is full:

[0145] The operator issues a switching command (or uses existing sensors to detect a full-capacity signal).

[0146] The control system readjusts the two first electric telescopic cylinders 642: so that the right flat tilting plate 612 is lower than the left flat tilting plate 612, and the flat conversion plate 61 is tilted towards the second collection chamber 5B.

[0147] At this point, all the fruit and vegetable slices slide into the fruit and vegetable slice collection area 502 of the second collection chamber 5B.

[0148] Operators can easily remove the first collection chamber 5A for emptying without stopping the equipment.

[0149] Similarly, if only fresh meat is sliced ​​or frozen meat is shaved, the material can be directed to the corresponding collection area of ​​either side of the collection chamber by adjusting the overall tilt direction of the flat conversion plate 61.
