Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to horseshoe processing equipment, in particular to a horseshoe side cutting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Water chestnut is a plant of the Cyperaceae family and the genus Eriocheir. It is one of China's specialty vegetables. It is usually eaten as an underground enlarged bulb and can be eaten raw, cooked or used in dishes. Because of its shape similar to a water chestnut, water chestnut is usually called "water chestnut" in Guangdong and other places in my country.

[0003] At present, the processing of water chestnuts is relatively complicated, and manual peeling is mostly adopted. During the peeling process, the peels at the upper and lower ends of the water chestnuts need to be removed, and the peels on the side walls in the cylinder also need to be removed. The peeling efficiency is low, the pulp loss is large, and the peeling rate is low.

[0004] There are also a small number of mechanical peeling devices in the prior art, including household peeling machines or industrial semi-automatic peeling machines. When peeling from the side, the side peeling knife is relatively fixed, and the horseshoe and the peeling knife rotate relative to each other to achieve peeling. Since the side of the horseshoe has an arc, in this cutting method, the peeling knife cannot be adjusted according to the shape of the side of the horseshoe, which is prone to cutting blind spots or large pulp loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a horseshoe side cutting mechanism which can adjust the tool angle in real time according to the side shape of the horseshoe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0027] A horseshoe side cutting mechanism comprises a cylinder fixing plate, a feed cylinder, a feed assembly, a cutting tool seat, a cutter, and a telescopic drive member; the feed cylinder is mounted on the cylinder fixing plate, a push rod of the feed cylinder is connected to the feed assembly, and drives the feed assembly to reciprocate; the feed assembly comprises a tool seat connecting member, the tool seat connecting member is connected to the cutting tool seat through a first rotating part, the cutting tool seat is connected to one end of the telescopic drive member through a second rotating part, the other end of the telescopic drive member is connected to the tool seat connecting member through a third rotating part, and the cutting tool seat is driven to rotate around the first rotating part through the telescopic drive member; the cutter is mounted on the cutting tool seat.

[0028] The feed assembly includes a slide rail fixing plate, a slide rail, a slider, and a plunger spring. The slide rail fixing plate is connected to the push rod of the feed cylinder, the slide rail is installed on the slide rail fixing plate, the slider cooperates with the slide rail, and the slider translates along the slide rail; the slide rail fixing plate is equipped with a plunger spring that pushes the slider in the feed direction; the tool holder connecting piece is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0029] The slide rail fixing plate comprises an L-shaped plate and a plunger spring fixing plate; the push rod end of the feed cylinder, the plunger spring fixing plate and one section of the L-shaped plate are connected in sequence; and the slide rail is installed on the other section of the L-shaped plate.

[0030] The knife seat connecting piece includes a main body part, a first extending section, and a second extending section; the first extending section extends from the upper end of the main body part toward the extension direction of the push rod, and the first rotating part is arranged in the first extending section; the second extending section extends from the lower end of the main body part toward the retraction direction of the push rod, and the third rotating part is arranged in the second extending section.

[0031] The cutting tool seat comprises a cutter mounting portion in a concave shape, and the cutter is mounted at a notch position of the cutter mounting portion.

[0032] The cylinder fixing plate is an inverted "L" shaped plate, and the feed cylinder is installed on the vertical section of the inverted "L" shaped plate.

[0033] The telescopic drive is a DC motor electric cylinder.

[0034] The cutting knife is long and strip-shaped.

[0035] There are two plunger springs which are parallel to each other and arranged one above and one below.

[0036] Figure 1 As shown, the push rod of the feed cylinder is arranged along the front-back direction, retracts forward to withdraw the knife, and extends backward to feed the knife. The horseshoe side cutting mechanism is installed on the horseshoe automatic cutting device through the cylinder fixing plate.

[0037] Here’s how to use it:

[0038] The horse hoof is pierced by a vertically arranged needle in the up and down direction of the horse hoof. The piercing position is the center position. The needle can move up and down and rotate at high speed, thereby driving the horse hoof to move up and down and rotate and cut.

[0039] When peeling sideways, the pin moves from top to bottom and rotates at high speed. When the horseshoe reaches the cutter height, the feed cylinder starts, the push rod extends, the feed assembly, the cutting knife seat, and the cutter move backwards and feed, and the cutter peels. As the horseshoe moves downward, the telescopic drive extends, and the cutter swing angle is adjusted so that the cutter angle corresponds to the side shape of the horseshoe, thereby completing the side peeling.

[0040] When the knife is fed in, the plunger spring keeps the cutter pressed against the side of the horseshoe for peeling. Since the compressed plunger spring has a certain buffering capacity, the slider, knife seat connector, cutting knife seat, cutter, and telescopic drive member can be fine-tuned in a short distance forward and backward relative to the slide rail fixing plate, so that a certain adaptive adjustment can be made according to the size and diameter of the horseshoe, ensuring that the peeling machine can peel all horseshoes.

[0041] The telescopic drive can pre-adjust the angle according to the diameter of the horseshoe to ensure the cutting quality of different batches of horseshoes.

[0042] In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments, the feed assembly can adopt a common rigid structure without buffering function. These changes are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited by the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
