For example, such relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a particular value, tolerances caused by manufacturing, assembly, use in relation to a particular value, etc. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values of two endpoints. Relative terms can refer to a plus or minus a certain percentage (such as 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. A numerical value without the use of a relative term should also be disclosed as a particular value with a tolerance. In addition, when expressing a relative angular positional relationship (such as substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular), "substantially" can refer to a plus or minus a certain number of degrees (such as 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) based on the indicated angle.

[0049] In this application, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that the functions performed by components can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the functions performed by parts can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0050] In this application, the directional terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", and "rear" are used to describe the orientation and positional relationship shown in the drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. In addition, in the context, it should also be understood that when it is mentioned that one element is connected "above" or "below" another element, it can not only be directly connected "above" or "below" another element, but also be indirectly connected "above" or "below" another element through an intermediate element.

For example, the lower side can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower rear, etc.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , this embodiment provides a food cutting device, which includes a carrier table 1, at least one water cutting head 2, and a transfer mechanism 3.

[0052] Among them, the carrier table 1 is used to carry frozen food. Each water cutting head 2 is configured to cut the frozen food on the carrier table 1 along a preset path to cut the frozen food into particles of a preset size. The transfer mechanism 3 is configured to drive all the water cutting heads 2 to slide along a first horizontal direction or a second horizontal direction, and the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0053] In practical applications, first place the frozen food on the carrier table 1, and then the transfer mechanism 3 drives the water cutting head 2 to move along the preset path. At the same time, the water cutting head 2 cuts the frozen food, and finally cuts the frozen food into a preset size.

[0054] It can be understood that by driving the water cutting head 2 to move along the preset path by the transfer mechanism 3, the frozen food can be cut into particles of uniform size, thus not affecting the working efficiency of the next process. It can also be understood that by controlling the movement path of the water cutting head 2 by the transfer mechanism 3, the particle size of the frozen food cut can be controlled, and the applicability is strong.

[0055] In addition, water cutting has the advantages of high precision, no pollution, and being not easy to produce slag and flying slag during the cutting process. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the food cutting device also includes existing components such as a high-pressure pump, a delivery pipe, and a water tank that are used in conjunction with the water cutting head, so they will not be elaborated here.

[0056] In order to prevent the oversized particles from flowing into the next process after cutting, the carrier 1 includes a carrier frame 11 and a filter screen 12. The filter screen 12 is detachably arranged on the carrier frame 11, and the surface of the filter screen 12 is formed with a bearing surface for carrying quick-frozen food. In this way, the particles after cutting can be filtered through the filter screen 12, and the oversized particles will stay on the bearing surface. The oversized particles can be cut again by the water cutting head 2 later. It can be understood that the filter screen 12 is detachably arranged on the carrier frame 11, which is convenient for replacing the filter screen 12 with different apertures to meet different cutting requirements. In other words, the filter screen 12 with different apertures can be replaced according to the size of the particles to be cut, and the applicability is strong. It should be noted that the connection method between the filter screen 12 and the carrier frame 11 can select any detachable connection method in the prior art, such as screw connection, clamping connection, etc.

[0057] Generally speaking, the cut particles need to be stored in a container so as to be transported to the next step for further processing. To this end, the food cutting device also includes a temporary storage tank 4 disposed below the filter 12 to collect particles that fall after being screened by the filter 12. It can be understood that the temporary storage tank 4 placed below the filter 12 collects particles that fall after being screened by the filter 12, which has high efficiency, simple structure and low use cost. In addition, in order to allow the particles that fall after being screened by the filter 12 to fall accurately into the temporary storage tank 4, a guide plate 41 is provided on the peripheral side of the carrier 11, and the guide plate 41 extends from one end of the carrier 11 to the temporary storage tank 4, so as to guide the particles that fall after being screened by the filter 12 into the temporary storage tank 4.

[0058] The transfer mechanism 3 includes a frame 31, a mounting member 32, an adapter 33, a first drive member 34 and a second drive member 35. The frame 31 is close to the carrier 1. The mounting member 32 is slidably disposed on the frame 31 along the first horizontal direction. The adapter 33 is slidably disposed on the mounting member 32 along the second horizontal direction, and the water jet cutting head 2 is disposed on the adapter 33. The first drive member 34 is disposed on the frame 31, and the first drive member 34 is configured to drive the mounting member 32 to slide along the first horizontal direction. The second drive member 35 is disposed on the mounting member 32, and the second drive member 35 is configured to drive the adapter 33 to slide along the second horizontal direction.

[0059] It should be noted that the first driving member 34 and the second driving member 35 can select any multi-stage linear driving structure in the prior art, such as an electric cylinder, a linear module, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any requirements or restrictions on this.

[0060] In order to further improve the applicability of the food cutting device, that is, to enable the food cutting device to cut quick-frozen foods of different thicknesses, the transfer mechanism 3 also includes a connecting member 36 and a lifting drive member 37. The connecting member 36 is slidably arranged on the adapter 33 in the vertical direction, and the water cutting head 2 is arranged on the connecting member 36. The lifting drive member 37 is arranged on the adapter 33, and the lifting drive member 37 is configured to drive the water cutting head 2 to rise and fall. It can be understood that by driving the water cutting head 2 to rise and fall by the lifting drive member 37, the height of the water cutting head 2 can be adjusted according to the quick-frozen foods of different thicknesses, thereby helping to improve the applicability of the food cutting device. It should be noted that the lifting drive member 37 can select any multi-stage driven linear drive mechanism in the prior art, such as an electric cylinder, a linear module, etc.

[0061] In addition, in order to improve the cutting efficiency of the food cutting device. A plurality of water cutting heads 2 are provided, and the plurality of water cutting heads 2 are evenly spaced along the second horizontal direction on the connecting member 36. In this way, the transfer mechanism 3 drives the connecting member 36 to move, which can drive the plurality of water cutting heads 2 to move synchronously, that is, the transfer mechanism 3 can drive the plurality of water cutting heads 2 to cut the quick-frozen food multiple times each time it moves, thereby helping to improve the cutting efficiency. In this embodiment, three water cutting heads 2 are provided. Of course, in other embodiments, four, five or more water cutting heads 2 can also be provided, and this embodiment does not make specific requirements and restrictions on this.

[0062] It should be noted that the transfer mechanism 3 and other components are arranged around the carrier 1, which makes it inconvenient for the operator to directly carry the quick-frozen food to the carrier 1. For this reason, the food cutting device further includes a conveying mechanism 5, which is configured to convey the quick-frozen food to the carrier 1. Such a configuration is more convenient for operation and helps to reduce the labor intensity of the operator.

[0063] Specifically, the conveying mechanism 5 includes a conveying frame 51, a conveyor belt 52, a pushing member 53 and a power member 54. The conveying frame 51 is arranged on one side of the support platform 1. The conveyor belt 52 is configured to convey the quick-frozen food along the first horizontal direction, and the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 52 for carrying the quick-frozen food is flush with the bearing surface of the support platform 1. The pushing member 53 is slidably arranged on the conveying frame 51 along the first horizontal direction, and the pushing member 53 is used to push the quick-frozen food on the bearing surface away from the bearing platform 1. The power member 54 is arranged on the conveying frame 51, and the power member 54 is configured to drive the pushing member 53 to slide, so as to push the quick-frozen food on the conveying surface to the bearing surface. It should be noted that the specific structure and working principle of the conveyor belt 52 are both existing technologies, so they are not described in detail.

[0064] During transportation, first, the operator moves the frozen food onto the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 52. Then, the conveyor belt 52 transports the frozen food to one end close to the bearing platform 1. Next, the power member 54 drives the pushing member 53 to slide, so as to push the frozen food on the conveying surface onto the bearing surface of the bearing platform 1 through the pushing member 53. With such a setting, the difficulty for the operator to carry the frozen food can be reduced, and moreover, the distance for the operator to carry the frozen food can also be reduced. It should be noted that the power member 54 can be any one of the linear drive mechanisms in the prior art, such as a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a linear module, etc. In this embodiment, the power member 54 is a cylinder.

[0065] In addition, generally, the outer packaging of the frozen food needs to be manually removed before cutting. Therefore, to improve the convenience for the operator to remove the outer packaging, the conveying mechanism 5 further includes a workbench 6 and a baffle 61. The workbench 6 and the baffle 61 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the conveying frame 51, and the tabletop of the workbench 6 is higher than the conveying surface. It can be understood that the setting of the workbench 6 provides an operating station for the operator to remove the outer packaging, making it more convenient for operation. It can also be understood that the setting of the baffle 61 facilitates the operator to push the frozen food onto the conveyor belt 52, which is convenient for operation.

[0066] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
