Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to a food skewering machine, in particular to a skewering device of the food skewering machine. [Background technology]

[0002] Some food processing processes involve stringing procedures, such as the process of grilled sausages on skewers, which often requires pre-made sausages to be strung on skewers before being grilled. Currently, the process of stringing sausages on skewers is mostly done manually, resulting in low efficiency.

[0003] The Chinese utility model CN216363444U disclosed on 2022-04-26 discloses an automatic sausage cutting and stringing integrated device, including a frame, a conveyor chain, a feeding box, a skewer arrangement mechanism, a lateral cutting mechanism, a positioning mechanism, a longitudinal cutting mechanism and a skewer pushing mechanism, wherein the conveyor chain is arranged on the frame, and a plurality of stringing molds are provided on the conveyor chain, the feeding box is arranged at one end of the conveyor chain, the positioning mechanism and the longitudinal cutting mechanism are arranged at the other end of the conveyor chain, the skewer arrangement mechanism is arranged between the feeding box and the positioning mechanism, the lateral cutting mechanism is arranged on the feeding side of the positioning mechanism, and the skewer pushing mechanism and the positioning mechanism are arranged side by side above the conveyor chain. It realizes one-stop processing of cutting and stringing of food materials through various mechanisms such as the skewer arrangement mechanism, the lateral cutting mechanism, the longitudinal cutting mechanism and the skewer pushing mechanism, and the output per minute can reach hundreds of skewers. The skewering mold includes a base plate, a skewer slot, and a plurality of positioning slots. The skewer slot and the positioning slot are respectively arranged at the two ends of the upper surface of the base plate. The skewer slot extends along the length direction of the base plate to the positioning slot. A through hole is arranged at the bottom of the positioning slot for the longitudinal cutting knife to pass through. Since each positioning slot contains one food ingredient, if the specifications of the food ingredient are not strict, it cannot fall into the positioning slot well, thus causing the skewers to be missed and the number of skewers to be unqualified. In addition, through holes need to be arranged between adjacent positioning slots so that the skewers can pass through the through holes and string the food ingredients in each positioning slot together. Since the through holes are small, the threading operation accuracy needs to be strictly required when operating the holes, otherwise it is easy to cause threading failure. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a food skewering device for a semi-automatic skewering machine, which is a semi-automatic skewering device and has no strict requirements on the length of the food, thereby ensuring that the quantity of food fed each time is correct and does not involve hole alignment operations, which will not lead to hole alignment failures.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned new purpose, the technical solution adopted by the embodiment of the utility model is: a skewering device of a food skewering machine, including a roller mechanism, a material pushing mechanism, a needle pushing mechanism and a material pressing mechanism;

[0006] The roller mechanism comprises a roller and a rotation drive unit, a plurality of threading grooves are evenly arranged axially on the roller, and step-by-step rotation is realized under the drive of the rotation drive unit, and the angle of each rotation is the angle between two adjacent threading grooves; the threading groove comprises a cloth section and a cloth needle section, a step is provided between the cloth section and the cloth needle section, and a needle groove is provided on the step;

[0007] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing trough, a movable baffle plate, a pushing plate and a front and rear telescopic cylinder. The pushing trough is a narrow arc-shaped trough with a fixed baffle plate at the end. The movable baffle plate is arranged on the inner side of the pushing trough and connected to a baffle lifting cylinder. The pushing plate is arranged on the outer side of the pushing trough and connected to the front and rear telescopic cylinder.

[0008] The material pressing mechanism comprises a material correction plate and a material pressing lifting cylinder. The material correction plate is pressed down and reset under the drive of the material pressing lifting cylinder. When pressed down, the material correction plate is pressed down onto one of the stringing grooves.

[0009] The needle pushing mechanism includes a pushing head, a pushing head lifting cylinder, left and right sliders, left and right slideways and a sliding drive. The pushing head is connected to the piston of the pushing head lifting cylinder, and the pushing head lifting cylinder is fixed to the left and right sliders.

[0012] Furthermore, the material correction plate includes a bottom plate and an end plate, the inner surface of the bottom plate is an arc-shaped surface, and the bottom edge of the end plate matches the contour of the stringing groove.

[0013] The advantages of the utility model are: the utility model is a semi-automatic skewering device, the skewering groove does not have a special positioning groove for each food ingredient, and the length requirement of the food is not strict, thereby ensuring that the quantity of food fed each time is correct, and when the number of skewers to be skewered changes, there is no need to increase or decrease the positioning grooves, and no hole alignment operation is involved, which will not lead to hole alignment failure.

[0024] The embodiment of the utility model provides a food skewering device for a food skewering machine, which is a semi-automatic skewering device. The requirement on the length of the food is not strict, thereby ensuring the correct quantity of food fed each time, and does not involve hole alignment operation, thus not causing the occurrence of hole alignment failure.

[0025] The technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and the overall idea is as follows: the utility model belongs to a semi-automatic skewering device, and the skewering groove does not have a special positioning groove for each food ingredient, and the length requirement of the food is not strict, thereby ensuring that the quantity of food fed each time is correct. When the number of skewers is changed, there is no need to increase or decrease the positioning groove, and no hole alignment operation is involved, which will not lead to hole alignment failure.

[0026] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] See also Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a food skewering device 100 of a food skewering machine comprises a roller mechanism 1, a material pushing mechanism 2, a material pressing mechanism 3 and a needle pushing mechanism 4;

[0028] The roller mechanism 1 includes a roller 11 and a rotation drive unit 12. A plurality of stringing grooves 13 are evenly axially arranged on the roller 11. The roller 11 is driven by the rotation drive unit 12 to realize step-by-step rotation. The angle of each rotation is the angle between two adjacent stringing grooves 13, thereby ensuring that each rotation has a stringing groove 13 connected with the pushing mechanism.

[0029] The threading groove 13 includes a cloth section 131 and a needle section 132, a step 133 is provided between the cloth section 132 and the needle section 131, and a needle groove 134 is provided on the step 133; Figure 6 As shown, since the skewer used for skewering is a metal skewer 200, the metal skewer 200 includes a needle body 201, a circular baffle 202 and an operating plate 203. Since the circular baffle 202 and the operating plate 203 are both arranged close to the same end of the needle body 201, the other end of the needle body 201 cannot be supported when it is placed flat, so it can be supported by the needle groove 134, so that the needle body 201 is in a horizontal position and can smoothly pass through all the food in the cloth section 131.

[0030] The pushing mechanism 2 includes a pushing groove 21, a movable baffle plate 22, a pushing plate 23 and a front and rear telescopic cylinder 24. The pushing groove 21 is a narrow arc groove with a fixed baffle plate 212 at the end. The movable baffle plate 22 is arranged on the inner side of the pushing groove 21 and connected to a baffle lifting cylinder 25. The pushing plate 23 is arranged on the outer side of the pushing groove 21 and connected to the front and rear telescopic cylinder 24.

[0031] The material pressing mechanism 3 includes a material correction plate 31 and a material pressing lifting cylinder 32. The material correction plate 31 is pressed down and reset under the drive of the material pressing lifting cylinder 32, and when pressed down, the material correction plate is pressed down onto the stringing groove 12; the material correction plate 31 includes a bottom plate 311 and an end plate 312, the inner surface of the bottom plate 311 is an arc surface, and the bottom edge of the end plate 312 matches the contour of the stringing groove 13.

[0032] The needle pushing mechanism 4 includes a pushing head 41, a pushing head lifting cylinder 42, left and right sliders 43, left and right slideways 44 and a sliding drive 45. The pushing head 41 is connected to the piston of the pushing head lifting cylinder 42 and has a pushing needle groove 411. The pushing head lifting cylinder 42 is fixed on the left and right sliders 44. The left and right sliders 44 can be slidably mounted on the left and right slideways 44 under the drive of the sliding drive 45. The pushing head 41 moves left and right along the cloth needle section 132 under the drive of the sliding drive 45.

[0033] Since sausage casings are prone to bursting under excessive pressure, it is necessary to adjust the appropriate cylinder stroke, i.e. Fig. 9 As shown, the pressing mechanism 3 also includes a left indicator light 33, a right indicator light 34, an upper magnetic sensor and a lower magnetic sensor. The left indicator light 33 is arranged on the left side of the pressing lifting cylinder 32 and connected to the upper magnetic sensor, and the right indicator light 34 is arranged on the right side of the pressing lifting cylinder 32 and connected to the lower magnetic sensor. When the piston of the pressing lifting cylinder 32 moves upward to the right position, the upper magnetic sensor is triggered, the left indicator light 33 is on and the right indicator light 34 is off. When the piston of the pressing lifting cylinder 32 moves downward to the right position, the lower magnetic sensor is triggered, the right indicator light 34 is on and the left indicator light 33 is off. The stroke of the pressing lifting cylinder 32 is manually adjusted according to the display of the left indicator light 33 and the right indicator light 34, so as to adjust the downward pressure required for the sausage, which can not only press the sausage tightly but also prevent the sausage from bursting.

[0034] It also includes a controller; the rotary drive unit 12, the material blocking lifting cylinder 25, the front and rear telescopic cylinder 24, the material pressing lifting cylinder 32, the push head lifting cylinder 42 and the sliding drive 45 are all connected to the controller and operate in a predetermined sequence and rhythm under the one-button control of the controller.

[0035] The working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0036] 1. The sausages to be skewered are first sent to the pushing trough 21. At this time, the movable blocking plate 22 is in a lowered state, forming a block on the inner side of the pushing trough 21 so that the sausages in the pushing trough 21 will not fall out of the pushing trough 21.

[0037] 2. When the number of sausages in the pushing trough 21 reaches the predetermined number of sausages to be skewered, the controller is started (it can be started manually by a manual button or by program control), and the material blocking lifting cylinder 25 is first controlled to raise the movable material blocking plate 22 so that the inner side of the pushing trough 21 is open; at the same time, the rotary drive unit 12 is actuated to rotate the drum 11 by one station so that an idle skewering groove 13 is opposite to the pushing trough 21.

[0038] 3. Start the horizontal telescopic device 24 to push the push plate 23 inward, so as to transfer the sausages in the push slot 21 to the cloth section 131 of the opposite stringing slot 13. At the same time, manually place the metal skewer 200 for stringing in the cloth needle section 132, and the needle of the metal skewer is placed in the needle slot 134.

[0039] 4. The material pressing mechanism 3 is activated, that is, the material pressing lifting cylinder 32 drives the material correction plate 31 to press down, so that the sausages in the stringing groove 13 are arranged in a regular manner and pressed with appropriate pressure.

[0040] 5. The needle pushing mechanism 4 is actuated, i.e., the push head lifting cylinder 42 lowers the push head 41 to be flush with the stringing groove 13, and then the sliding drive 45 drives the left and right slide blocks 43 to move along the left and right slideways 44, thereby driving the push head 41 to quickly move the metal skewer from the needle section 132 to the cloth section 131 until the needle head of the metal skewer passes through all the sausages in the stringing groove 13.

[0041] 6. Then, the material correction plate 31 and the pusher 41 are reset, and the rotary drive unit 12 is activated to rotate the drum 11 by one more station, and an idle stringing slot 13 is replaced to face the pusher slot 21. After the sausages in the original pusher slot 21 are transferred, the pusher plate 23 is brought back to the original position by the horizontal telescopic device 24, and then the movable material blocking plate 22 is lowered to the inner side of the pusher slot 21 to form a block, ready to feed the next stringing slot 13. After multiple rotations, the sausage strings in the stringing slot 13 can automatically fall into the collection frame below the drum 11.

[0042] This process is repeated over and over again to complete the process of stringing a large number of sausages.

[0043] Although the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are only illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Equivalent modifications and changes made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
