Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shrimp cutting equipment, and in particular to a shrimp cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing shrimp cutting machines can sense the physical characteristics of shrimp through sensors, and then control the cutting knife to cut the shrimp accordingly. However, in order to ensure the reliable transportation of small shrimps, the distances between the sensor and the conveying pressure wheel and between the conveying pressure wheel and the cutting knife need to be set relatively close. However, for large shrimps with heads, due to the above limitations, when the sensor senses a large shrimp with a head, the body part of the large shrimp has already passed over the cutting knife device, resulting in the ineffective control of the cutting length and depth of the large shrimp part. Summary of the Utility Model

[0010] Preferably, the cavities are filled with magnetic powder; a magnetic member is arranged at the end of the sensor facing the base, and the magnetic property of the magnetic member is opposite to that of the magnetic powder, so that the sensor is adsorbed at the inclined surface of the base, and the sensor can move relative to the base.

[0011] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a supporting disc, and the extending direction of the shrimp feeding groove is the same as the tangential direction of the supporting disc; a first motor is connected to the center of the supporting disc, and the first motor can drive the supporting disc to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a first fixed shaft and a first limiting member sleeved on the outer side of the first fixed shaft through a first bearing.

Additionally, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible, as will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application.

[0033] The present utility model provides a shrimp cutting machine, as Figures 1 to 3 shown. The shrimp cutting machine in this embodiment includes a shrimp feeding mechanism, a guiding mechanism, and a shrimp cutting mechanism. The shrimp feeding mechanism is used for the preliminary introduction of the shrimp body and can sense the physical characteristics of the shrimp body through a sensor 22. The guiding mechanism can receive the above-mentioned shrimp body and transport the shrimp body to the shrimp cutting mechanism so that the shrimp cutting mechanism can complete the shrimp cutting. Hereinafter, the specific structures and connection relationships of the above-mentioned various parts of the shrimp cutting machine according to the present utility model will be described in detail.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shrimp cutting machine is provided with a mounting member 10, and the shrimp feeding mechanism, the guiding mechanism, and the shrimp cutting mechanism are all connected to the mounting member 10. There are no specific limitations on the shape, structure, and size of the mounting member 10, as long as it facilitates the stable arrangement of the above-mentioned various mechanisms to meet the shrimp cutting requirements.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the shrimp feeding mechanism in this embodiment includes a base 20, which is formed in a wedge-like structure (it can also be set as a cuboid or other structures). A shrimp feeding groove 21 running through both ends is formed on the inclined surface of the base 20. When the device is in use, workers manually put the shrimp bodies into the shrimp feeding groove 21. Further, a plurality of cavities 23 are formed inside the base 20, and the extending direction of each cavity 23 is perpendicular to the inclined surface of the base 20. In addition, each cavity 23 is located at the top of the shrimp feeding groove 21, and the plurality of cavities 23 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the shrimp feeding groove 21. The cavity 23 is filled with magnetic powder, and a magnetic member is arranged at the end of the sensor 22 facing the base 20. The magnetic member has the opposite magnetism to the magnetic powder. Under the action of magnetic force, the sensor 22 can be stably adsorbed at the inclined surface of the base 20. When an external force is applied to the sensor 22, the sensor 22 can move relative to the base 20. In this way, both the flexibility and convenience of the sensor 22 during movement and the firmness of the connection between the sensor 22 and the base 20 are ensured.

[0036] However, it is not limited to this. The movement of the sensor 22 relative to the base 20 can also be realized by existing mechanical mechanisms such as lead screw guides. The sensor 22 in the existing shrimp cutting machine can be used. When the shrimp bodies are small, the sensor 22 can be moved to a position close to the output end of the shrimp feeding groove 21 to reduce the distance between the sensor 22 and the guiding device. When the shrimp bodies are large, the sensor 22 can be moved to a position close to the input end of the shrimp feeding groove 21 to increase the distance between the sensor 22 and the guiding device.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the guiding mechanism includes a support disc 30. The extending direction of the above-mentioned shrimp feeding groove 21 is the same as the tangential direction of the support disc 30, so as to facilitate the guiding mechanism to stably receive the shrimp bodies. In addition, a first motor is connected to the center of the support disc 30, and the first motor can drive the support disc 30 to rotate to achieve the technical effect of the guiding mechanism transporting the shrimp bodies.

[0038] Further, the guiding mechanism also includes a first fixed shaft 33 and a first limiting member 31 sleeved on the outer side of the first fixed shaft 33 through a first bearing. The first limiting member 31 is formed in a rotary body structure and can rotate relative to the first fixed shaft 33. A V-shaped first recess 310 is provided around its outer side. Similarly, the guiding mechanism also includes a second fixed shaft 34 and a second limiting member 32 sleeved on the outer side of the second fixed shaft 34 through a second bearing. The second limiting member 32 is formed in a rotary body structure and can rotate relative to the second fixed shaft 34. A V-shaped second recess 320 is provided around the outer side of the second limiting member 32.

[0039] Furthermore, as Figures 1 to 2As shown, the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 are sequentially arranged on the outer side of the support disc 30, and the first concave portion 310, the second concave portion 320 and the outer side of the support disc 30 form the guiding portion of the guiding mechanism. In this way, after the shrimp body is manually placed in the shrimp feeding trough 21, the shrimp body can be received by the guiding portion (the length of the shrimp feeding trough 21 needs to meet the above technical requirements). At this time, the outer side of the support disc 30 abuts against the middle position in the width direction of the shrimp body (the back or abdomen of the shrimp), and the first concave portion 310 and the second concave portion 320 can limit the shrimp body. Furthermore, the rotation of the support disc 30 drives the rotation of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 to transport the shrimp body.

[0040] Preferably, the second limiting member 32 can be set to be non-rotatable and is formed into an irregular disc structure, and its guiding part extends into the first concave portion 310, so as to avoid the situation that the shrimp body curls or flies out when being transported from the first limiting member 31 to the second limiting member 32. In addition, the outer side of the support disc can be formed into a toothed structure to facilitate the provision of a stable feeding force.

[0041] However, not limited thereto, the above-mentioned first fixed shaft 33 and second fixed shaft 34 can also be respectively connected to the swing arm 35, so that the relative positions of the first limiting member 31 and the second limiting member 32 and the support disc 30 can be flexibly adjusted through the swing arm 35 to adapt to the guiding transportation of shrimp bodies of different specifications.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, the shrimp cutting mechanism is located at the output end of the guiding portion. It includes a cutter 40 located on the outer side of the support disc 30 and a swing assembly connected to the cutter 40. The swing assembly includes a swing motor 41 and a swing arm 42 connected in sequence; in addition, a rotating motor is arranged inside the swing arm 42, and the rotating motor transmits power to the cutter 40 through a belt structure and a rotating shaft 43, that is, the swing motor 41 can drive the swing arm 42 and the cutter 40 to swing synchronously so that the cutter 40 approaches or moves away from the support disc 30; the rotating motor can drive the cutter 40 to rotate and control its rotation speed, etc., so as to meet different shrimp cutting requirements (such as different cutting depths, cutting lengths, etc.).

[0043] The above-mentioned sensor 22 is communicatively or electrically connected to the swing motor 41 and the rotation motor of the shrimp cutting mechanism, so as to be able to flexibly control the position and rotation speed of the cutter 40 according to the body shape characteristics of the shrimp detected by it. In addition, in this embodiment, the cutter 40 is located on the side of the second limiting member 32 away from the first limiting member 31, and the sensing point of the sensor 22, the first limiting member 31, the second limiting member 32 and the cutter 40 are successively spaced no greater than the length of a small shrimp, and this spacing is preferably 30 mm to 50 mm. In this way, it can be ensured that there is no slipping or displacement during the entire transportation process of the shrimp body after being sensed by the sensor 22, and it can be ensured that when the cutter 40 starts to cut the shrimp, the shrimp body is still fixed by the guiding portion, thereby effectively ensuring the stability and accuracy during the cutting of the cutter 40.

[0044] In addition, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, a convex arc-shaped unloading portion 300 is further formed on the outer side of the support disc 30. When the shrimp cutting is completed, the unloading portion 300 plays a role in blocking the shrimp body, so as to facilitate the separation of the shrimp body from the support disc.

[0045] According to the shrimp cutting machine of the present invention, a sensor 22 capable of moving along the extension direction of the shrimp feeding groove 21 is provided, so that the position of the sensor 22 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications of different batches of shrimp bodies, and thus the distance between the sensor 22 and the cutter 40 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure the sufficiency of the cutter 40 for cutting shrimp; in addition, a guiding mechanism is further provided between the shrimp feeding mechanism and the shrimp cutting mechanism of this shrimp cutting machine, further increasing the distance between the sensor 22 and the cutter 40. In this way, it can not only ensure the reliable transportation of small shrimps, but also ensure that when a large shrimp is sensed by the sensor 22, the whole body of the shrimp has not crossed the cutter 40, so that while ensuring the shrimp cutting quality, it can also meet diverse shrimp cutting requirements.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that: the above-mentioned embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
