Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of hot pot base production technology, and in particular relates to a hot pot base cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of hot pot base, the solidified slab-shaped hot pot base usually needs to be cut into smaller, uniformly sized pieces for subsequent packaging. Current technology typically uses a cutter to directly cut it. Because the solidified hot pot base is brittle and contains hard solid materials such as peppercorns, chili peppers, and spices, the cutter blade makes rigid contact with the solid materials inside during the cutting process. This causes the base to locally crumble under pressure, producing irregular fragments. Simultaneously, the solid materials embedded in the base also break off directly from the cut surface under the pressure of the blade.

[0003] These broken pieces of base material and detached solid materials are scattered on the support surface of the hot pot base, which not only damages the appearance quality of the cut surface of the material, but also pollutes the subsequent production environment if the detached pieces and materials are not cleaned up in time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a hot pot base cutting device that can effectively prevent localized breakage of the base at the cutting point and the detachment of solid materials.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following techniques: A hot pot base cutting device, comprising: A conveying mechanism for horizontally conveying plate-shaped hot pot base; Supporting mechanisms, spaced at the ends of the conveying mechanism, are used to receive and horizontally support the hot pot base material conveyed by the conveying mechanism. The slitting mechanism includes a mounting rod that is horizontally mounted above the area between the conveying mechanism and the support mechanism and moves vertically. The mounting rod is provided with multiple vertically arranged slitting needles along its length. The lower end of each slitting needle is a cone with its pointed tip pointing downwards, which is used to insert into and pass through the hot pot base as the mounting rod moves downwards. The distance between each slitting needle is adjustable, and each needle is equipped with a heating component inside. The adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the distance between the dividing needles.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The cutting device uses heated dividing needles to insert and cut by approaching each other instead of the traditional cutting and pressing method of the cutter. The dividing needles strictly heat the base material locally, so that only the butter in the contact area of ​​the needle body is partially melted, releasing the solid material that was originally tightly wrapped, without causing thermal impact on the base material as a whole, thus ensuring the integrity of the material block and avoiding the shedding of fragments. 2. The cutting device guides the released solid material to both sides of the cut surface during the insertion process through the conical surface of the cutting needle, so that it is embedded in the partially melted cut surface, rather than falling off from the cut surface, thus ensuring the appearance quality of the material block cut surface.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the implementation methods of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in this invention are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0016] This application provides a hot pot base cutting device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a conveying mechanism 1, a supporting mechanism 2, a cutting mechanism 3, and an adjusting mechanism 5.

[0017] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the conveying mechanism 1 uses a conveyor belt to horizontally convey solidified slab-shaped hot pot base. The hot pot base is rectangular, and its length direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1 during conveying. Supporting mechanisms 2 are provided at intervals at the end of the conveying mechanism 1. The supporting mechanism 2 is a horizontal support platform, and its bearing surface is flush with the conveying surface of the conveying mechanism 1. The length direction of the support platform is also facing the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. It is used to receive the hot pot base conveyed by the conveying mechanism 1 and to provide horizontal support for the hot pot base.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a mounting rod 31, which is horizontally mounted above the gap between the conveying mechanism 1 and the support mechanism 2, and is vertically movable. The length of the mounting rod 31 is aligned with the width of the conveyed hot pot base. Multiple dividing needles 32 are mounted on the mounting rod 31, arranged along the length of the rod 31, and each needle is vertically oriented. The number of dividing needles 32 is matched to the width of the hot pot base to ensure coverage. The lower end of each dividing needle 32 is a cone shape with its tip pointing downwards, allowing it to easily insert into and penetrate the hot pot base when the mounting rod 31 moves downwards. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the spacing between the dividing needles 32 can be adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 5. Before inserting the hot pot base, the dividing needles 32 are arranged at equal intervals. After inserting and passing through the hot pot base, the adjusting mechanism 5 drives the dividing needles 32 to move closer together, thereby cutting the hot pot base into pieces. Each dividing needle 32 is equipped with a heating component 4 inside. The heating component 4 is in working condition before the dividing needle 32 is inserted into the hot pot base, and is used to continuously heat the dividing needle 32.

[0019] The principle of the slitting device is as follows: Before being inserted into the hot pot base, the dividing needle 32 is preheated to its operating temperature by the heating component 4. When the mounting rod 31 moves the dividing needle 32 down to insert into the hot pot base, the heated dividing needle 32 only locally heats the base material at the contact point with the needle body surface, causing the butter in that localized area to reach a semi-melted state. This localized heating is strictly controlled near the contact interface between the dividing needle 32 and the base material, and will not affect the base material area far from the needle body. In the partially melted butter area, the butter loses its tight grip on the solid materials such as peppercorns, spices, and chili peppers inside, releasing these solid materials. At the same time, the conical surface at the lower end of the dividing needle 32 provides a guiding effect for the released solid materials during insertion, pushing them to both sides of the dividing needle 32 row, i.e., guiding them towards the two cut surfaces formed by the cutting. Because the butter at the cut surfaces is in a partially melted state, the solid materials can be better embedded in the cut surfaces. After the dividing needles 32 have completely passed through the hot pot base, the adjusting mechanism 5 drives each dividing needle 32 to move closer to each other. Following the above process, each dividing needle 32 pushes the released solid material further and embeds it into the cutting surface, thus completing the cutting of the hot pot base.

[0020] When applying, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, firstly, the heating component 4 is activated, preheating each dividing needle 32 to its working temperature. The adjusting mechanism 5 then adjusts the dividing needles 32 to an equidistant arrangement. The conveying mechanism 1 transports the solidified, plate-shaped hot pot base material towards the supporting mechanism 2. The front end of the hot pot base material passes through the gap between the conveying mechanism 1 and the supporting mechanism 2, and is received and horizontally supported by the supporting mechanism 2. Next, the mounting rod 31 of the cutting mechanism 3 drives the heated dividing needles 32 to move vertically downwards, and the conical tips of multiple dividing needles 32 insert and penetrate the hot pot base material. During insertion, the dividing needles 32 only locally heat the base material at the contact point with the needle body, causing the butter in that contact area to partially melt, releasing solid material. The conical surface guides the released solid material to both sides of the cut surface. After the dividing needles 32 have completely penetrated, the adjusting mechanism 5 drives each dividing needle 32 to move closer together, pushing and embedding the released solid material into the cut surface, completing the cutting process. After the cutting is completed, the mounting rod 31 drives the dividing needle 32 to move up and reset, and the cut material blocks remain on the support mechanism 2 and are sent to the next process; at the same time, the conveying mechanism 1 continues to convey the next section of hot pot base material, repeating the above cutting process to achieve continuous cutting operation.

[0021] To address the issue raised in the background art where the rigid contact between the blade and solid particles during cutting causes localized fragmentation of the base material and solid particles detaching from the cut surface, this embodiment employs a heated dividing needle 32 to replace the traditional cutting and pressing method of a cutter. On one hand, the dividing needle 32 provides strict localized heating of the base material, only partially melting the butter in the contact area, releasing the previously tightly bound solid material without affecting the overall heat of the base material, thus ensuring the integrity of the material block. On the other hand, the conical surface of the dividing needle 32 guides the released solid material to both sides of the cut surface during insertion, embedding it into the partially melted cut surface instead of detaching it. Therefore, it effectively avoids the generation of debris and the detachment of solid material during the cutting process of hot pot base material, ensuring the appearance quality of the cut surface and solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by debris and detached material.

[0022] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the mounting rod 31 is arranged along the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, i.e., the width direction of the hot pot base. A through T-shaped groove 33 is formed on the bottom surface of the mounting rod 31 along its length, with its vertical portion extending downwards through the bottom surface of the mounting rod 31. A mounting block 34 is fixedly installed in the middle of the horizontal portion of the T-shaped groove 33 and cannot slide. Multiple movable blocks 35 are slidably fitted within the horizontal portions of the T-shaped groove 33 on both sides of the mounting block 34. The upper ends of each dividing pin 32 are fixedly inserted into the corresponding mounting block 34 and movable block 35, respectively. The lower ends of each dividing pin 32 extend downwards from the vertical portion of the T-shaped groove 33, extending to the bottom of the mounting rod 31. In the initial state, the movable blocks 35 are equidistantly distributed within the T-shaped groove 33.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, the adjustment mechanism 5 includes multiple first helical springs 51, each of which is disposed within the horizontal portion of the T-groove 33 and arranged along the length of the mounting rod 31. More specifically, each first helical spring 51 is connected between the mounting block 34 and its adjacent movable block 35, and between two adjacent movable blocks 35. In its natural state, the first helical springs 51 maintain an equal distance between the mounting block 34 and each movable block 35, as well as between adjacent movable blocks 35, i.e., the dividing needles 32 are arranged at equal intervals. Both sides of the conveying mechanism 1 are provided with first linear mechanisms 52, which can be in the form of linear cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, etc. The movable ends of the two first linear mechanisms 52 are arranged opposite each other and face the length of the mounting rod 31. The movable end of each first linear mechanism 52 is connected to a vertically arranged push rod 53. The upper end of the push rod 53 corresponds to the end position of the T-groove 33, and its width is smaller than the width of the horizontal portion of the T-groove 33 so that it can enter the T-groove 33.

[0024] When applying, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, in the initial state, each of the first helical springs 51 is in its natural state, and each of the dividing needles 32 is arranged at equal intervals. The heating component 4 preheats each of the dividing needles 32. The conveying mechanism 1 conveys the plate-shaped hot pot base to the support mechanism 2 and supports it horizontally. The mounting rod 31 drives the dividing needles 32 to move vertically downward. The conical tips of each dividing needle 32 insert into and penetrate the hot pot base. During this process, the dividing needles 32 locally heat the base and release solid material. When the dividing needles 32 have completely penetrated the hot pot base, the first linear mechanisms 52 on both sides drive synchronously, causing the two push rods 53 to move closer together. The two push rods 53 enter the horizontal part of the T-shaped groove 33 from both ends. The push rods 53 push against the outermost movable block 35, causing it to slide towards the mounting block 34. Each movable block 35 compresses the first helical spring 51 in sequence, and each dividing needle 32 moves closer to each other, pushing the released solid material into the cutting surface to complete the cutting. After the cutting is completed, the first linear mechanism 52 on both sides is driven synchronously, which drives the two push rods 53 to separate. The push rods 53 exit the T-shaped groove 33, and each movable block 35 is reset under the elastic force of the first helical spring 51. Each dividing needle 32 is restored to an equidistant arrangement.

[0025] The sliding device utilizes the sliding cooperation of the T-groove 33, the mounting block 34, and the movable block 35, along with the elastic reset effect of the first helical spring 51. Before insertion, each sliding needle 32 automatically maintains an equidistant arrangement. After insertion, the two push rods 53 on both sides move closer together to achieve sliding. After slitting, the push rods 53 separate and the sliding needles 32 automatically reset, ensuring the stability of hot pot base slitting and effectively improving the automation level of the slitting device.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, a wiring hole 36 is formed through the end face of the mounting rod 31 along its length. The wiring hole 36 is located above the T-slot 33 and is a through hole extending along the length of the mounting rod 31. A first strip hole 37 is formed on the bottom surface of the wiring hole 36. The first strip hole 37 extends along the length of the mounting rod 31 and connects downward to the top surface of each movable block 35 and mounting block 34. A second strip hole 38 is also formed on one side of the mounting rod 31. The second strip hole 38 is connected to the wiring hole 36 and is used to lead the wire out to the outside of the mounting rod 31. The top surface of each dividing pin 32 is flush with the top surface of the corresponding movable block 35 and mounting block 34. Each dividing pin 32 has a vertically formed receiving hole 39 inside, which extends from the top surface of the dividing pin 32 to its lower end.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the heating assembly 4 includes multiple heating wires 41. Each heating wire 41 is inserted into the receiving hole 39 of the corresponding dividing pin 32. The upper end of each heating wire 41 extends to the top surface of the corresponding movable block 35 and mounting block 34, and a wire 42 is connected there. The end of the wire 42 enters the wiring hole 36 through the first strip hole 37, extends along the wiring hole 36, and extends out to the outside of the mounting rod 31 through the second strip hole 38 for connecting to an external power source.

[0028] When applying, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, after power is applied, the external power supply supplies power to each heating wire 41 through the wire 42. The heating wire 41 heats up in the receiving hole 39, preheating each dividing pin 32. When the movable block 35 slides in the T-shaped groove 33, the wire 42 connected to the movable block 35 moves along with it. The first strip hole 37 provides sufficient sliding space for the wire 42, and the second strip hole 38 can reserve enough wire slack to ensure that the wire 42 will not be pulled when the dividing pins 32 switch between equidistant arrangement and close proximity, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of heating.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the support mechanism 2 includes a pair of strip plates 21 facing the same direction. Both plates 21 extend along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The two plates 21 are rotatably arranged around a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The opposite sides of the two plates 21 are parallel to each other and are connected by multiple vertical support rods 22. Each support rod 22 is arranged in an array at equal intervals along the length of the strip plate 21. Multiple rollers 23 are arranged in an array along the axial direction of each support rod 22. Each roller 23 is coaxially arranged with the support rod 22 and can rotate freely relative to the support rod 22. The surfaces of each roller 23 together form a support platform for receiving and horizontally supporting the hot pot base.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top of one end of the two shaped plates 21 is connected by a top plate 24. The bottom surface of the top plate 24 is parallel to the plane containing the axes of each support rod 22. When the two shaped plates 21 rotate to the state facing the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, the plane containing the axes of each support rod 22 is horizontal, and the support platform formed by the rollers 23 provides horizontal support for the hot pot base. When the hot pot base is fed, it enters between the rollers 23 and the top plate 24, and the bottom surface of the top plate 24 is located at a predetermined height above the hot pot base.

[0031] When applying, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, during feeding, the two shaped plates 21 face the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the plane containing the axes of each support rod 22 is horizontal. The hot pot base enters between the roller 23 and the top plate 24, and is supported by the roller 23. After the dividing needles 32 are inserted into and penetrate the hot pot base, the dividing needles 32 move closer together, completing the initial cutting. To prevent the material block from not being completely separated after the dividing needles 32 move closer together, the two shaped plates 21 can rotate around the horizontal axis by a predetermined angle. The roller 23 and the top plate 24 jointly drive the material block to rotate, applying a torque to the material block to be cut, causing it to twist around the cutting surface, thereby completely cutting the material block. At the same time, the inclined strip plate 21 allows the cut material block to slide down the surface of the roller 23 under its own gravity, entering the next process. The opposite sides of the two shaped plates 21 limit and guide the sides of the material block during the sliding process, preventing the material block from falling.

[0032] The slitting device, through the rotatable design of the strip plate 21, can apply torque to the incompletely separated material blocks by rotating after the dividing needles 32 approach, ensuring thorough slitting and improving slitting reliability. At the same time, the tilted posture of the strip plate 21 after rotation allows the material blocks to automatically slide down the roller 23 under their own gravity for discharge, eliminating the need for an additional pushing mechanism, resulting in a simple structure and smooth discharge.

[0033] Preferred, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, a horizontal base plate 6 is provided below the support mechanism 2. A mating rod 61 is mounted on the base plate 6. The mating rod 61 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1. The bottom surfaces of the two shaped plates 21 are respectively provided with downwardly extending ear plates 25. The ear plates 25 have shaft holes, which are rotatably fitted onto the mating rod 61, allowing the two shaped plates 21 to rotate around the axis of the mating rod 61. The other ends of the two shaped plates 21 away from the top plate 24 are connected to the base plate 6 by spring plates 26. When the spring plates 26 are in their natural state, the two shaped plates 21 are arranged facing the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, and the plane containing the axes of each support rod 22 is horizontal. Each of the two shaped plates 21 has a mating block 27 on its outer side near the top plate 24. One side of the mating block 27 is inclined towards the top surface of the base plate 6.

[0034] like Figures 3-7 As shown, the movable ends of the two first linear mechanisms 52 are respectively connected to push blocks 54. One end of the push block 54 has a mounting hole 55 along the length direction of the mounting rod 31, and the top surface of the push block 54 has a stroke hole 56. The stroke hole 56 is a strip-shaped hole extending along the length direction of the mounting rod 31, with one end connected to the end face of the push block 54 and the bottom connected to the mounting hole 55. A sliding block 57 is slidably fitted in the mounting hole 55, and the sliding block 57 can slide along the axial direction of the mounting hole 55. The lower end of the push rod 53 passes through the stroke hole 56 and is fixedly connected to the sliding block 57, and the upper end of the push rod 53 extends upward out of the top surface of the push block 54. A second helical spring 58 is arranged in the same direction in the mounting hole 55, and the two ends of the second helical spring 58 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the mounting hole 55 and the end face of the sliding block 57. One side of the push block 54 is connected to a mating rod 28, which extends along the length of the mounting rod 31 and is positioned opposite to the inclined surface of the mating block 27 on the corresponding strip plate 21. When the second helical spring 58 is in its natural state, the two push rods 53 are located between the two mating rods 28 and are spaced a predetermined distance from the corresponding mating rods 28.

[0035] When applying, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, in the initial state, the spring plate 26 is in its natural state, the two plates 21 face the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 1, the plane containing the axes of each support rod 22 is horizontal, the second helical spring 58 is in its natural state, and the push rod 53 and the mating rod 28 maintain a predetermined distance. After feeding, the dividing needle 32 inserts into and penetrates the hot pot base material. Then, the first linear mechanism 52 on both sides synchronously drives the push block 54 to move towards the mounting rod 31. The push block 54 first drives the push rod 53 to move towards the T-groove 33 through the sliding block 57. The push rod 53 enters the T-groove 33 and pushes against the movable block 35. The dividing needles 32 move closer to each other, completing the initial cutting of the hot pot base material. When the movable block 35 is pushed to the limit position and cannot move further, the push rod 53 is blocked. At this time, the first linear mechanism 52 continues to drive the push block 54 forward. The sliding block 57 compresses the second helical spring 58, the push rod 53 remains stationary, and the push block 54 drives the mating rod 28 to continue to move forward. The front end of the mating rod 28 abuts against the inclined surface of the mating block 27, slides along the inclined surface and presses down on the mating block 27, driving the two strip plates 21 to rotate around the mating rod 61, causing the end of the strip plate 21 away from the top plate 24 to tilt downwards, while compressing the spring plate 26. The rotation of the strip plate 21 applies torque to the material block through the roller 23 and the top plate 24, causing the incompletely separated material block to be completely broken; at the same time, the inclined strip plate 21 causes the cut material block to slide down the roller 23 and be discharged under its own weight.

[0036] like Figures 3-7As shown, after the cutting and unloading are completed, the first linear mechanism 52 drives the push block 54 to move in the opposite direction to reset. The mating rod 28 first disengages from the inclined surface of the mating block 27, and the two shaped plates 21 rotate and reset under the elastic restoring force of the spring plate 26, restoring the horizontal state. The second helical spring 58 then pushes the sliding block 57 and the push rod 53 to reset. The push rod 53 exits the T-shaped groove 33, and each movable block 35 resets under the action of the first helical spring 51. Each dividing needle 32 resumes its equidistant arrangement, and the device returns to its initial state, waiting for the next cutting.

[0037] The slitting device achieves two actions in sequence: the first linear mechanism 52 drives the dividing needles to approach and the support mechanism to flip, through the elastic sliding cooperation between the second helical spring 58 inside the push block 54 and the sliding block 57, and the inclined design of the cooperating rod 28 and the cooperating block 27. The degree of automation is high. During the entire slitting and discharge process, the position of the material block is always limited and constrained by the roller 23, the top plate 24 and the two side strip plates 21. The operation is stable and reliable, effectively avoiding the problems of material block jamming and material falling off.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a second linear mechanism 7 is mounted above the mounting rod 31. The second linear mechanism 7 can be in the form of a linear cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc. The movable end of the second linear mechanism 7 faces vertically downward and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting rod 31. Through the extension and retraction of the movable end of the second linear mechanism 7, the mounting rod 31 is driven to move back and forth in the vertical direction, thereby causing each dividing needle 32 to move down to insert into the hot pot base or move up to return to its original position.
