[0024] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments, the purpose of which is only to provide a better understanding of the content of the present invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The utility model provides a dispersing hopper for battered meat strips 6, comprising a frame 1 and a bucket 2. A material cutting roller 3 is installed in the material discharge port of the bucket 2. A motor 4 is installed at one end of the material cutting roller 3. The material cutting roller 3 rotates to control the bucket 2 to discharge the material.

[0026] The bucket bin 2 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame 1. The bucket bin 2 consists of a front side plate, a rear side plate, a left side plate and a right side plate, and the bottom forms a long rectangular discharge opening; the left side plate and the right side plate of the bucket bin 2 are triangular, and the two plates are parallel; the front side plate and the rear side plate of the bucket bin 2 are rectangular, and their two sides are sealed and connected with the left side plate and the right side plate, and a plurality of slots 201 are synchronously arranged at the lower ends of the front side plate and the rear side plate.

[0027] The material cutting roller 3 includes a roller shaft, which is installed at the lower part of the frame 1. Both ends of the roller shaft are rotatably connected to the frame 1. The diameter of the roller shaft is adapted to the long rectangular material discharge opening of the bucket 2. A plurality of pusher claws 301 are radially arranged on the surface of the roller shaft, and the pusher claws 301 correspond to the slots 201.

[0028] The motor 4 is installed on one side of the frame 1, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the roller shaft.

[0029] The utility model is installed on the upper side of the conveyor belt, and the bucket 2 is used to temporarily store a certain amount of materials. The motor 4 drives the cutting roller 3 to rotate, driving the claw 301 to insert in the slot 201. When the claw 301 rotates to the inside of the bucket 2, it pulls part of the meat strips 6 or meat chunks (the meat chunks described in the utility model are sheet-like chunks). When the claw 301 rotates to the outlet bucket 2, it pulls or pulls out the meat strips 6 and meat chunks. Under reciprocating rotation, the meat strips 6 and meat chunks are evenly placed on the conveyor belt.

[0030] The pusher claw 301 of the utility model can adopt straight ribs, which can achieve the basic purpose of pushing out materials and are easy to make; and preferably adopt an arc rod, see Figure 3 , Figure 6 , the effect of the arc rod:

[0031] 1) When pulling the meat strip 6, the arc rod can use the pressure of the surrounding materials to move the meat strip 6 toward the middle and lower part of the arc rod, further entering the action range of the arc rod, thereby bringing out more materials and achieving high discharging efficiency.

[0032] 2) After the arc rod moves the meat strip 6, it moves the meat strip 6 downward, which can play a role in gently combing the material. Specifically, if the claw 301 pulls the middle of the meat strip 6 (such as meat strip 6A), it can undoubtedly carry the meat strip 6 to the warehouse. If the upper end of the claw 301 pulls the end of the meat strip 6 (such as meat strip 6B), if it is a straight tendon, it can only move the meat strip 6 forward. The internal pressure of the material around the claw 301 is large and there are many knots, and the meat strip 6 is difficult to move horizontally. Therefore, the claw 301 of the straight tendon can only move the end of the meat strip 6 to unfold. When the tip of the arc rod is pulled to the meat strip 6, it is affected by the stirring of the claw 301. The pressure on the lower side of the meat strip 6 is less than that on the upper and front sides. When the arc rod pulls the meat strip 6, the front pressure acts in the opposite direction, and the meat strip 6 slides to the lower side of the arc rod. Therefore, the meat strip 6 is slightly moved downward and is easier to break away from the knot on the top.

[0033] Within the range of the claws 301, the meat strips 6 can be combed into a state of being placed parallel to the front and back, while at the outer edge of the claws 301, the meat strips 6 are squeezed against each other and even knotted, and the straight tendons can only carry the meat strips 6 forward. The further downward the bucket 2 goes, the greater the lateral thickness of the material and the greater the resistance. Therefore, it is difficult to pull the meat strips 6 out of the knotted position with the material carried horizontally. When the arc rod holds the end of the meat strip 6, the meat strip 6 can be further pulled downward, which is more conducive to the downward movement of the upper meat strip 6, and the meat strip 6 is separated from the meat knot, achieving a better combing effect.

[0034] 3) The arc rod can make the meat strips 6 or meat chunks come out of the lower part of the slot hole 201 , and prevent the meat strips 6 from being squeezed and damaged by the tip of the claw 301 and the top wall of the slot hole 201 .

[0035] The utility model also provides a deformation implementation of the finger 301: Figure 7 The claw 301 is a rod with a teardrop-shaped cross section, the wide side of which is located in front of the material cutting roller 3 in the direction of rotation, and the narrow side is located in the rear of the material cutting roller 3 in the direction of rotation. When the middle of the meat strip 6 is pulled, the two ends are folded back, and the two ends are squeezed by the surrounding materials and have greater resistance. The pulling point is subjected to greater force and becomes thinner and thinner, which can easily break the meat strip 6. The teardrop-shaped claw 301 loses its width and ensures the original rod strength. The wide side drives the meat strip 6 to avoid cutting the meat strip 6, and the narrow side can provide a larger space for the meat strip 6 to gather on the back of the claw 301, reducing the resistance on both sides, so that the meat strip 6 can be moved more easily in the material pile and reduce the situation of the meat strip 6 being broken.

[0036] Furthermore, a discharge adjustment component 5 is provided, see Figure 4 , Figure 5It includes adjustment plates 501 respectively arranged on the outer sides of the lower ends of the front side plate and the rear side plate, and a sub-groove 502 is arranged on the lower side of the adjustment plate 501, and the sub-groove 502 corresponds to the slot hole 201 one by one; the front side plate and the rear side plate are connected to each other through a connecting plate 503 on the side away from the motor 4, and a sliding nut 504 is embedded in the center of the connecting plate 503, and the sliding nut 504 is threadedly sleeved on the adjusting screw 505, and the inner end of the adjusting screw 505 is rotatably connected to the bucket 2, and the other end is equipped with a hand wheel 506. This solution enables the hopper to be used for discharging meat strips 6 of various thicknesses. When the auxiliary groove 502 is misaligned with the slot hole 201, the width of the slot hole 201 is reduced, which is suitable for discharging thinner and smaller meat. When the auxiliary groove 502 completely exposes the slot hole 201, it is suitable for discharging larger meat strips 6. The relative position of the adjustment plate 501 and the slot hole 201 is selected according to the thickness of the product being produced. This solution can also control the thickness of the batter on the surface of the meat strip 6. When the slot hole 201 is narrowed, the side wall and the surface of the meat strip 6 are strongly scratched when the meat strip 6 exits the hole, thereby removing more batter. Otherwise, the surface of the meat strip 6 can retain better batter.

All equivalent changes made using the contents of the present utility model specification and its drawings are included in the scope of rights of the present utility model.
