Technical Field
[0001] The utility model is applied to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a food black eye removal mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In the field of food processing, fruits, vegetables, meat and other ingredients need to be washed and cleaned of defects during the process of making food. During the defect cleaning process, for some ingredients, such as pineapples, pineapples and other fruits, the outer skin residue will be left on the flesh during the peeling process, commonly known as black eyes. Although these black eyes are edible, they have poor taste and flavor, so they are usually removed during the production process to meet the best eating taste. However, due to the large number of black eyes remaining, the black eyes or unsightly color defects on the food are currently mainly removed manually using knives. This method has high labor costs. During the removal process, manual labor is easily affected by the perspective and omissions occur, resulting in black eyes or unsightly color defects being produced together with the flesh, affecting the consumer's experience. At the same time, the removal process is cumbersome and inefficient, and does not meet the company's automated production needs. If a food black eye removal mechanism with a simple structure can be designed, which can replace manual black eye cutting of food, use a multi-stage connecting rod to drive the blade to remove the black eyes or defects on the food, and cooperate with a positioning mechanism for precise positioning, the above problems can be solved.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a support plate 1, a cylinder 2, a sliding blade assembly 3 and a connecting rod assembly 4, the cylinder 2 and the sliding blade assembly 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the upper end surface of the support plate 1, the sliding blade assembly 3 includes a slide seat 31 and a plurality of sliders 32, the plurality of sliders 32 are slidably matched with the two sides of the slide seat 31, a V-shaped blade 33 is arranged on the outer side of the slider 32, the connecting rod assembly 4 includes a push block 41, two groups of first connecting rods 42 and two groups of second connecting rods 43, one side of the push block 41 is connected to the movable end of the cylinder 2, one end of the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the other side of the push block 41, the other ends of the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 are respectively hinged to the middle parts of the two groups of the second connecting rods 43, the corresponding ends of the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 are hinged, and the other ends of the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 are respectively hinged to the plurality of sliders 32, and the cylinder 2 drives the connecting rod assembly 4 to make the V-shaped blade 33 cooperate with the product 5. It can be seen that the cylinder 2 drives the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 and the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 to push the two groups of the sliders 32 to slide on the slide seat 31, so that the blades of the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33 are close to each other and cut into the product 5 to achieve the cutting of the black eyes. It has a simple structure and stable performance, and can completely remove the black eyes.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting end of the slide 31 is set to a V-shaped structure. It can be seen that the angle of the cutting end of the slide 31 is the same as the angle between the two sets of V-shaped blades 33 when the blades of the two sets of V-shaped blades 33 are in contact with each other, which can ensure that the blades of the two sets of V-shaped blades 33 can be completely in contact with each other and cut off the black eyes during the sliding process.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, both sides of the slide seat 31 are provided with sliding grooves 34, and the sliding end of the slider 32 is provided with a limiting protrusion 35 adapted to the sliding groove 34, and the limiting protrusion 35 is limitedly matched with the sliding groove 34, and the cylinder 2 pushes the two groups of sliders 32 to slide on the sliding groove 34 so that the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 are close to or away from each other. It can be seen that both sides of the slider 32 are provided with limiting protrusions 35, and are limitedly matched with the corresponding sliding grooves 34 on both sides of the slide seat 31, and will not deviate or fall off during the sliding process, resulting in failure to cut black eyes normally.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a hinged platform 44 is provided on the other side of the push block 41, one end of the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 are hinged to the two ends of the hinged platform 44 through the first rotating shaft 6, the other ends of the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 are hinged to the middle parts of the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 through the second rotating shaft 7, the corresponding ends of the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 are hinged to the connecting end of the slide seat 31 through the third rotating shaft 8, and the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 are hinged to the connecting ends of the two groups of sliders 32 through the fourth rotating shaft 9. It can be seen that the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 are pushed close to the sliding seat 31 by the pushing block 41, and the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 rotate inward with the third rotating shaft 8 as the center and approach each other, so that the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 push the two groups of the pushing blocks 32 to slide on the sliding groove 34 and push the V-shaped blades 33 out to complete the cutting. The multi-stage connecting rod plus the hinged form of multiple groups of rotating shafts can make the force more uniform in the process of the connecting rod pushing the pushing block 32 to move, and there will be no situation in which the angle increase causes uneven force and the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 do not fit together, and the performance is more stable.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting end of the slide seat 31 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped sliding grooves 36, and the two groups of the second rotating shafts 7 are slidably matched with the plurality of the arc-shaped sliding grooves 36. It can be seen that the arc-shaped sliding grooves 36 are limitedly matched with the second rotating shafts 7, so that the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 can drive the two groups of the second rotating shafts 7 to rotate at the same angle around the third rotating shaft 8 without deviation.
[0027] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting side of the slider 32 is configured as a contoured structure that matches the deflection angle of the V-shaped blade 33. It can be seen that the contoured structure on one side of the slider 32 enables the V-shaped blade 33 to be stably mounted on the slider 32, preventing the V-shaped blade 33 from being deformed due to uneven force during cutting.
[0028] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cutting end of the slide 31 is also provided with a blocking block 10, and the blocking block 10 is respectively matched with the two groups of the sliders 32 and the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33. It can be seen that when the cylinder 2 drives the two groups of the sliders 32 to push out, the blocking block 10 can limit the displacement of the sliders 32 to prevent the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33 from being over-pressed against each other at the blades, which leads to a reduction in the service life. After the cutting is completed, the two groups of the pushing blocks 32 return to the initial position, and the blocking block 10 can push out the black eye part of the product 5 between the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33, and will not remain inside the V-shaped blade 33 to affect the cutting of the next black eye.
[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the blade head end of the V-shaped blade 33 is set to a bevel blade structure, and the cylinder 2 drives the blades of the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 to fit together. It can be seen that the angle between the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 is the same as the angle of the cutting end of the slide 31, and the blade is a bevel blade structure, which ensures that when the cylinder 2 drives the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 to approach each other, the blades can fit accurately.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the other side of the support plate 1 is connected to an external manipulator module. It can be seen that the connection between the support plate 1 and the external manipulator module can control the sliding blade assembly 3 to move to different positions for cutting, thereby realizing automated production.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a buffer 11 is provided on one side of the cylinder 2, a buffer block 12 is provided on the movable end of the cylinder 2, and the buffer end of the buffer 11 cooperates with the buffer block 12. It can be seen that the buffer 11 provides a buffering effect during the cutting process, so that the two groups of V-shaped blades 33 are subjected to more uniform force and the cutting is more stable.
[0032] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: before starting the equipment, the product 5 to be cut is placed on the cutting station, and the external manipulator module drives the sliding blade assembly 3 to move to the cutting position, and the external camera module is used for identification and positioning. The movable end of the cylinder 2 is pushed out to push the two groups of the first connecting rods 42 and the two groups of the second connecting rods 43 to move, thereby driving the two groups of the sliders 32 to slide on the slide seat 31, so that the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33 approach each other and cut into the edge position of the black eyes of the product 5. After the cutting is completed, the external manipulator module drives the two groups of the V-shaped blades 33 to separate from the product 5, and the movable end of the cylinder 2 contracts. The black eyes on the V-shaped blades 33 are blocked by the blocking block 10 and are scraped off and fall into the collection frame. The above steps are repeated to complete the automatic black eye removal of food.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not constitute limitations on the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
