[0038] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:

[0039] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a gluten splitting mechanism includes an upper cutter assembly 41 and a lower cutter assembly 42 installed on a frame 1, and the upper cutter assembly 41 is disposed above the lower cutter assembly 42;

[0040] The upper cutter assembly 41 includes a first positioning plate 410, an upper connecting shaft 411 disposed above the first positioning plate 410, and a plurality of upper annular cutters 412 sleeved on the upper connecting shaft 411 and axially movable. A plurality of upper through grooves 413 are arranged at intervals along the axial extension direction of the upper connecting shaft 411 on the first positioning plate 410. The bottom of each upper annular cutter 412 passes through an upper through groove 413 and is disposed below the bottom surface of the first positioning plate 410. An upper spacing is formed between adjacent upper annular cutters 412;

[0041] The lower cutting knife assembly 42 includes a second positioning plate 420, a lower connecting shaft 421 disposed below the second positioning plate 420, and a plurality of lower annular cutting knives 422 sleeved on the lower connecting shaft 421 and axially movable. A plurality of lower through grooves 423 are arranged at intervals along the axial extension direction of the lower connecting shaft 421 on the second positioning plate 420. The top of each lower annular cutting knife 422 passes through one of the lower through grooves 423 and is disposed above the top surface of the second positioning plate 420. A lower spacing is formed between adjacent lower annular cutting knives 422;

[0042] The bottom of each upper annular cutting knife 412 is inserted into a lower spacing, and the top of each lower annular cutting knife 422 is inserted into an upper spacing.

[0043] In this embodiment, in actual use, a conveying assembly 22 is transversely arranged. The conveying assembly passes between the upper cutting knife assembly and the lower cutting knife assembly. The conveying assembly includes two chains 221 arranged parallel to each other front and back and a plurality of groups of gluten conveying and material blocking members 222 mounted on the two chains 221. The plurality of groups of gluten conveying and material blocking members are arranged at intervals left and right. The top surface of the gluten conveying and material blocking member is provided with a plurality of upper cutting grooves 2221 at intervals from front to back, and the bottom surface is provided with a plurality of lower cutting grooves 2222 at intervals from front to back. Each upper cutting groove is arranged between adjacent lower cutting grooves. Each upper cutting groove is disposed opposite to an upper annular cutting knife, and each lower cutting groove is disposed opposite to a lower annular cutting knife. The gluten is placed between adjacent gluten conveying and material blocking members. Through the transmission of the chain, the gluten conveying and material blocking member is driven to move left or right. In this embodiment, the chain drives the gluten conveying and material blocking member to move left, so that the gluten conveying and material blocking member drives the gluten to move left. Among them, in this process, the bottom surface of the gluten conveying and material blocking member passing between the upper and lower cutting knife assemblies approaches or abuts against the second positioning plate. When it drives the gluten to move left through between the upper cutting knife assembly and the lower cutting knife assembly, the upper annular cutting knife passes through the upper cutting groove, and the lower annular cutting knife passes through the lower cutting groove. The upper annular cutting knife and the lower annular cutting knife will cut the gluten between adjacent gluten conveying and material blocking members in half, so that the gluten is cut in half and flaked (see Figure 9 shown, which is the state after the gluten is cut in half and stretched), thereby realizing the automatic cutting of the gluten. This can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operator, improve the cutting efficiency, and can realize large-batch and rapid cutting. In this way, the gluten can be pre-cut in the workshop, and subsequent users only need to thread the skewers (it can be manually threaded or automatically threaded by a skewer threading device).

[0044] Wherein, the width of the upper through groove 413 is greater than the wall thickness of the upper annular cutting knife 412, and the width of the lower through groove 423 is greater than the wall thickness of the lower annular cutting knife 422.

[0045] In this embodiment, the upper and lower annular cutting blades are not fully fixed on the upper and lower coaxial shafts respectively, and they can move axially. In this way, mainly during the process of the chain driving the gluten conveying baffle to move, the gluten conveying baffle may have a slight movement. At the same time, it is impossible for the upper and lower coaxial shafts to extend completely axially without any slight deformation. The width of the upper cutting groove is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the upper annular cutting blade, and the width of the lower cutting groove is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the lower annular cutting blade. In order to prevent the collision between the upper annular cutting blade, the lower annular cutting blade and the gluten conveying baffle from damaging the corresponding annular cutting blade, therefore, the upper annular cutting blade and the lower annular cutting blade can move axially on the corresponding coaxial shafts. After the corresponding annular cutting blade contacts the gluten conveying baffle a little bit, it can move axially to make way, so that the upper and lower annular cutting blades can pass through the upper cutting groove and the lower cutting groove smoothly. However, in order to prevent the upper annular cutting blade and the lower annular cutting blade from moving axially excessively and being unrestricted, through the setting of the upper through groove and the lower through groove, the axial movement of the upper annular cutting blade and the lower annular cutting blade is limited, but they can still move axially at a certain position to ensure that the gluten can be smoothly cut in half and ensure the stability of the cutting.

[0046] See Figure 2 As shown, an upper axial rib 414 is provided on the outer surface of the upper coaxial shaft 411. A central upper mounting hole 415 is provided in the upper annular cutting blade 412. An upper positioning opening 416 matching the upper axial rib 414 is provided on the inner wall of the upper mounting hole 415. The upper annular cutting blade 412 is sleeved on the upper coaxial shaft 411 through the upper mounting hole 415 and the upper positioning opening 416 and can move axially.

[0047] A lower axial rib 424 is provided on the outer surface of the lower coaxial shaft 421. A central lower mounting hole 425 is provided in the lower annular cutting blade 422. A lower positioning opening 426 matching the lower axial rib 424 is provided on the inner wall of the lower mounting hole 425. The lower annular cutting blade 422 is sleeved on the lower coaxial shaft 421 through the lower mounting hole 425 and the lower positioning opening 426 and can move axially.

[0048] In this way, the upper annular cutting blade will not rotate relative to the upper coaxial shaft, and the lower annular cutting blade will not rotate relative to the lower coaxial shaft. When the upper coaxial shaft rotates, it will synchronously drive all the upper annular cutting blades to rotate. When the lower coaxial shaft rotates, it will drive all the lower annular cutting blades to rotate.

[0049] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, both ends of the upper coaxial shaft 411 are respectively rotatably connected to an upper vertical plate 417, and the bottom of the upper vertical plate 417 is installed on the top surface of the first positioning plate 410.

[0050] Both ends of the lower coaxial shaft 421 are respectively rotatably connected to a lower vertical plate 427, and the lower vertical plate 427 is installed on the machine frame 1.

[0051] In this way, when the gluten passes through the upper and lower annular cutting knives, even if the upper and lower connecting shafts do not rotate, the gluten can be smoothly cut in half. At the same time, since the gluten may rotate relative to the upper and lower annular cutting knives during the contact process, the upper and lower connecting shafts are rotatably connected. At the same time, using annular cutting knives can ensure that even if the gluten rotates by a certain amount, it will not affect the cutting of the gluten in half, ensuring the stability and quality of the cutting.

[0052] See Figure 1 、 6 As shown in, two vertical strip-shaped grooves 428 are provided on the lower vertical plate 427, and a locking bolt is inserted into each vertical strip-shaped groove 428, and the locking bolt locks and limits the lower vertical plate 427 to the frame 1.

[0053] By providing vertical strip-shaped through grooves, the distance between the lower connecting shaft and the top surface of the second positioning plate can be adjusted, that is, the distance between the top surface of the lower annular cutting knife and the top surface of the second positioning plate can be adjusted. According to the diameter of the gluten and the required cutting depth, the height of the lower annular cutting knife exposed outside can be adjusted, which can not only ensure the cutting quality but also prevent the gluten from being completely cut off.

[0054] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown in 、6、7, the second positioning plate 420 is connected to the frame 1;

[0055] The first positioning plate 410 is arranged parallel to the upper part of the second positioning plate 420, and the first positioning plate 410 is connected to the second positioning plate 420 through multiple guide rods 43; a plurality of nuts 430 are screwed on each guide rod 43, and the end faces of the two nuts 430 respectively abut against the top surface and the bottom surface of the second positioning plate 420, and the end faces of the two nuts 430 respectively abut against the top surface and the bottom surface of the first positioning plate 410.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first positioning plate is connected to the second positioning plate through the guide rod, so as to fix the upper cutting knife assembly. By using nuts to adjust the positions of the guide rod and the second positioning plate, the distance between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate can be adjusted, that is, the distance between the bottom surface of the upper annular cutting knife and the second positioning plate can be adjusted, so as to adapt to the cutting of gluten of different sizes, prevent the gluten from being completely cut off, but ensure the cutting depth. Among them, when adjustment is needed, the two nuts at both ends of the guide rod in the second positioning plate remain unchanged, the nuts on both sides of the first positioning plate are loosened, and then the distance between the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate is adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the nuts on both sides of the first positioning plate are respectively screwed towards the first positioning plate so that the nuts abut against the first positioning plate, thereby realizing the fixation of the first positioning plate and the position adjustment of the first positioning plate and the upper annular cutting knife.

[0057] Furthermore, a third positioning plate 418 is provided above the upper connecting shaft 421. The third positioning plate 418 is arranged parallel to the first positioning plate 410. The third positioning plate 418 is connected to the plurality of guide rods 43. The end faces of the two nuts 430 respectively abut against the top and bottom surfaces of the third positioning plate 418. When the position of the third positioning plate is adjusted, the adjustment method is the same as that of the first positioning plate. The third positioning plate is also connected and fixed through guide rods and nuts.

[0058] See also Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a plurality of third through slots 419 are spaced apart on the third positioning plate 418 , and the top of each upper annular cutter 410 is inserted into one of the third through slots 419 , and the width of the third through slot 419 is greater than the wall thickness of the upper annular cutter 410 .

[0059] The top of the upper annular cutter 410 is disposed above the top surface of the third positioning plate 418 .

[0060] In this way, the third positioning plate can be used to axially limit the upper part of the upper annular cutter to prevent the upper annular cutter from deforming and ensure the cutting quality.

[0061] Furthermore, if the upper annular cutter is deformed, the staff can directly observe whether the upper annular cutter and the third through groove are in relative friction contact through the third positioning plate and the third through groove, so as to perform maintenance in time.

In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0063] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", "connect", "fix" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, or a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, for example, the two can form a mechanical abutment or abutment connection through abutment, contact, etc., the two can also be directly hung or hung through an intermediate medium, etc., or it can be the internal connection of the two elements or the interaction relationship between the two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
