Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a cutting device for strip-shaped food materials configured with a cutting shaft. Background Art

[0002] Cutting of strip-shaped food materials means cutting strip-shaped food materials into several narrower food materials along the length direction according to the width requirement. The narrower food materials are more conducive to subsequent processing.

[0003] In the prior art, strip-shaped food materials are usually cut by manual cutting. Using manual cutting to cut strip-shaped food materials has low cutting efficiency, poor cutting accuracy, and is prone to material waste. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides a cutting device for strip-shaped food materials configured with a cutting shaft, aiming to solve the problems of low cutting efficiency and low cutting accuracy of long strip-shaped food materials in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cutting device for strip-shaped food materials configured with a cutting shaft, including a frame. A conveyor belt for conveying food materials is arranged on the frame, and a cutting shaft spanning the conveyor belt is also arranged on the frame;

[0007] The cutting shaft is rotatably connected to the frame, and a driving machine for driving the cutting shaft is arranged on the frame;

[0008] Cutting knives for cutting the food materials on the conveyor belt are evenly distributed on the cutting shaft;

[0009] A conveyor is also arranged on the frame. The conveyor is located below the conveyor belt, and the conveying direction of the conveyor is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. Guide plates for guiding the food materials on both sides of the conveyor belt and cut by the cutting knives out of the conveyor belt are also arranged on the frame;

[0010] The waste materials guided by the guide plates fall onto the conveyor under the action of gravity.

[0011] Further improved scheme: A cleaner for cleaning the cutting knives is also arranged on the frame.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution: During the cutting process, food residues may adhere to the cutting knife. If not cleaned in time, it will not only affect the cutting effect, but may also cause food safety problems. The setting of the cleaner can ensure that the cutting knife is cleaned promptly and effectively after each cut, thereby maintaining a high hygiene standard, ensuring the safety of food and the sanitary condition of the cutting equipment. If the residue on the cutting knife accumulates for a long time, it may corrode or damage the knife surface, affecting the sharpness and service life of the cutting knife. The regular cleaning action of the cleaner can reduce this damage, protect the cutting knife from unnecessary wear, and thus extend the service life of the entire equipment.

[0013] A further improved solution: the cleaner comprises a cleaning plate, the cleaning plate is arranged parallel to the cutting axis, a cleaning groove cooperating with the cutting knife is arranged on the cleaning plate, and the side wall of the cleaning groove contacts the side wall of the cutting knife.

[0014] Based on the above technical solution: the side wall of the cleaning tank is in contact with the side wall of the cutting knife. This design ensures accuracy during the cleaning process. When the cutting knife rotates under the drive of the drum, its side wall will constantly rub against the side wall of the cleaning tank, thereby effectively removing food residues attached to the blade. This precise cleaning method helps to maintain the cleanliness of the cutting knife and avoid the influence of residues on the cutting effect. Since the cleaning plate is arranged parallel to the cutting axis and forms a matching relationship with the cutting knife, the cleaning process can be carried out automatically during the cutting process without manual intervention. This automated cleaning function not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the burden on operators, making the use of the equipment more convenient.

[0015] A further improved solution: the cleaning plate is fixed to the frame by screws.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: screw fixing is a firm and reliable connection method, which can ensure the stability of the cleaning plate on the rack. Even when the equipment is running at high speed or subjected to external impact, the cleaning plate is not easy to loosen or fall off, thus ensuring the cleaning effect and the safety of the equipment.

[0017] A further improved solution: the cleaning plate is slidably connected to the frame, and a spring is provided between the frame and the cleaning plate to push the cleaning plate closer to the cutting knife.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution: The spring enables the cleaning plate to be adaptively adjusted according to the actual position and state of the cutting knife. During the cutting process, as the cutting knife rotates and the food material is fed, the cleaning plate will be pushed by the spring and always closely adhere to the cutting knife, ensuring that the side wall of the cleaning groove is in close contact with the side wall of the cutting knife, thereby achieving continuous and effective cleaning. The thrust of the spring is uniform and adjustable, and it can adjust the contact pressure between the cleaning plate and the cutting knife as needed. Appropriate contact pressure can ensure the cleaning effect while avoiding wear of the cutting knife and the cleaning plate caused by excessive friction. This design helps to extend the service life of the cutting knife and the cleaning plate.

[0019] Further improved solution: A chute is provided on the frame, a part of the cleaning plate is located in the chute, the spring is arranged in the chute, one end of the spring is fixed to the cleaning plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the frame.

[0020] Based on the above technical solution: The chute provides a clear guide for the sliding of the cleaning plate, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cleaning plate during movement. This guiding effect helps to prevent the cleaning plate from deviating from the predetermined trajectory during sliding, thereby ensuring the accurate cooperation between the cleaning groove and the cutting knife. By arranging the spring in the chute and fixing one end to the cleaning plate and the other end to the frame, it can ensure that the thrust of the spring is always perpendicular to the sliding direction of the cleaning plate. This layout enables the thrust of the spring to be more effectively transmitted to the cleaning plate, pushing it to closely adhere to the cutting knife for cleaning. At the same time, the elasticity of the spring can also absorb the vibration and impact generated during the cutting process to a certain extent, protecting the cleaning plate and the cutting knife from damage.

[0021] Further improved solution: One end of the conveyor is provided with a waste bin for collecting the materials conveyed by the conveyor.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution: The setting of the waste bin enables the cut waste to be directly and orderly collected, avoiding the inconvenience and cleaning problems caused by the waste scattered in the working area. The waste bin effectively separates the cut waste from the food material raw materials and finished products, reducing the clutter and pollution in the working area. This not only helps to improve the cleanliness of the working environment but also reduces the health and safety risks caused by waste accumulation. As a centralized collection point for waste, the waste bin provides convenience for subsequent waste treatment. Operators can regularly clean and classify the waste in the waste bin, which not only reduces the pollution of waste to the environment but also realizes the rational utilization of resources.

[0023] Further improved solution: The waste bin is located below the conveyor, and the waste conveyed by the conveyor falls into the waste bin under the action of gravity.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: The waste bin is located below the conveyor. When the waste materials move to this position along with the conveyor after cutting, they will automatically fall into the waste bin under the action of gravity, without the need for additional power or mechanical devices for pushing or guiding. This automated collection method reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency.

[0025] Further improved solution: One end of the guide plate extends above the conveyor belt, and the other end of the guide plate extends out of the conveyor belt. The end of the guide plate located above the conveyor belt is flush with the cutting knives at both ends on the cutting shaft.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution: Since the guide plate can accurately guide the waste materials generated after cutting the food ingredients, the waste materials generated due to cutting can be reduced. This helps to improve the utilization rate of food ingredients and reduce production costs.

[0027] Further improved solution: The guide plate is welded to the frame; or, the guide plate is fixed to the frame by screws.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution: The connection between the welded guide plate and the frame is very firm, not easy to loosen or fall off, and can ensure the stability of the equipment during long-term operation. The screw fixing method enables the guide plate to be easily disassembled and installed. When it is necessary to clean, repair or replace the guide plate, the operator can easily complete it only by using appropriate tools. This easy disassembly and assembly improve the maintainability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0029] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0030] The present utility model adopts a drum-type cutting method, that is, uses a rotating cutting shaft and evenly distributed cutting knives to cut food ingredients, which can significantly improve the cutting efficiency. Compared with the traditional manual or fixed blade cutting method, the drum-type cutting is faster and continuous. Since the cutting knives are evenly distributed on the cutting shaft and are stably driven by the drive machine to rotate, the uniformity and accuracy of cutting can be ensured. The arrangement method of the conveyor perpendicular to the conveyor belt and the design of the guide plate enable the waste materials generated after cutting to conveniently fall onto the conveyor under the action of gravity and be conveyed to a designated position for collection or treatment. This design not only simplifies the waste material collection process but also improves the cleanliness of the production workshop. Description of the Drawings

[0047] The cleaning plate 7 is fixed to the frame 1 by screws.

[0048] Specifically: In order to prevent interference between the cleaning plate 7 and the cutting blade 4, the cleaning plate 7 and the frame 1 can be connected in a non-rigid connection manner. The cleaning plate 7 is slidably connected to the frame 1, and a spring for pushing the cleaning plate 7 close to the cutting blade 4 is provided between the frame 1 and the cleaning plate 7.

[0057] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0058] The long strip-shaped food to be cut is placed on the conveyor belt 2, and the conveyor belt 2 horizontally conveys the food at a set speed under the drive of the motor. The food gradually approaches the cutting area as the conveyor belt 2 moves.

[0059] The cutting shaft 3 spans above the conveyor belt 2 and rotates under the drive of the drive machine. A plurality of cutting knives 4 are evenly distributed on the cutting shaft 3, and these cutting knives 4 rotate as the cutting shaft 3 rotates.

[0060] When the food is conveyed to the cutting area, the cutting knife 4 contacts the food and cuts it into strips. Since the cutting knives 4 are evenly distributed and the rotation speed is stable, the uniformity and accuracy of cutting can be ensured.

[0061] The waste generated during the cutting process, such as the scraps of food or the cutting parts that do not meet the requirements, is guided by the material guiding plate 6. One end of the material guiding plate 6 extends above the conveyor belt 2 and is flush with the cutting knives 4 at both ends on the cutting shaft 3 to ensure that the waste can be smoothly guided.

The conveying direction of the conveyor 5 is perpendicular to that of the conveyor belt 2, so that the waste can be quickly conveyed along the direction of the conveyor 5 to a designated position for collection or treatment.

[0062] The entire cutting process is automated. The food enters the cutting area from the conveyor belt 2, and after being cut by the cutting knife 4, waste and finished strip-shaped food are generated. The waste is guided by the material guiding plate 6 and falls onto the conveyor 5 for collection, while the finished strip-shaped food continues to stay on the conveyor belt 2 for subsequent processing.
