Optionally, when the operator is performing maintenance, the operator can also extend into the installation cavity from the blanking opening 13a on the bottom plate 13 to perform maintenance on the conveying mechanism, further reducing the maintenance difficulty.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the bottom plate 13 is further provided with a plurality of inspection holes, and the plurality of inspection holes are spaced from the blanking opening 13a; the storage box further includes at least one inspection cover, and the inspection cover is detachably connected to the side of the bottom plate 13 facing away from the storage shell 11, and the inspection cover is used to cover the plurality of inspection holes.

[0052] The arrangement of the inspection holes enables maintenance personnel to conveniently perform maintenance when the storage box fails. The inspection holes are evenly distributed in position and are spaced from the blanking opening 13a to ensure the convenience and safety of the storage box during use. The inside of the storage shell 11 is used to store sausages. The inspection cover is fixed to the side of the bottom plate 13 facing away from the storage shell 11 by a detachable connection method and is used to cover the inspection holes.

[0053] When the storage box fails or needs to be maintained, the maintenance personnel can open the inspection cover to expose the inspection holes. Through the inspection holes, the maintenance personnel can conveniently enter the inside of the storage shell 11 for inspection and repair. The inspection cover and the bottom plate 13 are connected by a detachable connection method, which is convenient for the maintenance personnel to operate. When disassembling, only need to remove the inspection cover from the bottom plate 13; when installing, align the inspection cover with the inspection hole and then fix it through the connecting piece.

[0054] The bottom plate 13 is made of a strong and durable material, such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Its upper surface is flat, and its lower surface is provided with a plurality of inspection holes. The storage shell 11 is of a cylindrical structure and is made of the same material as the bottom plate 13. One end of the storage shell 11 is connected to the bottom plate 13, and the other end is provided with a blanking opening 13a.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the side of the inspection cover facing the bottom plate 13 has a plurality of oil collecting grooves, the plurality of oil collecting grooves are arranged at intervals, and each oil collecting groove extends along the length direction of the bottom plate 13.

[0056] Since the oil collecting tank extends along the length direction of the bottom plate 13 and multiple oil collecting tanks are arranged at intervals, the oil on the bottom plate 13 of the inspection cover can be collected more quickly and effectively. This reduces the frequency and difficulty of cleaning the bottom plate 13 of the inspection cover and improves work efficiency. And through the reasonable layout of the oil collecting tank in the design of the present application, the oil can flow into the oil collecting tank in time, avoiding the occurrence of pollution problems. The existence of the oil collecting tank changes the mechanical properties of the bottom plate 13 of the inspection cover, enabling the bottom plate 13 to disperse the impact force through the oil collecting tank when being impacted, thereby reducing the impact on the overall structure of the inspection cover and improving the service life of the inspection cover.

[0057] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the box body 10 is further provided with two mounting holes 10c. Both of the two mounting holes 10c communicate with the inspection cavity and are coaxially arranged; the mounting holes 10c are used for installing the driving mechanism.

[0058] The mounting holes 10c are evenly distributed on both sides of the box body 10. Their positions and sizes are carefully designed so that the driving mechanism can be stably installed, while facilitating subsequent inspection and maintenance. The axes of the two mounting holes 10c are parallel to each other and coincide with the axis of the inspection cavity. This coaxial arrangement helps to improve the installation accuracy of the driving mechanism and reduce installation errors. The mounting holes 10c communicate with the inspection cavity, facilitating technicians to enter the inspection cavity for maintenance and inspection, and improving the maintainability of the equipment.

[0059] Install the driving mechanism into the mounting holes 10c and fix it with fasteners to ensure the connection between the driving mechanism and the box body 10 is firm and reliable.
