Multiple driving sprockets are rotatably installed on the supporting shaft. Adjusting bolts extending into the tension adjusting groove to adjust the position of the supporting shaft in the tension adjusting groove are threadedly connected to both ends of the supporting shaft, which can conveniently tension the conveying chain.

[0012] As a preference, multiple guiding shafts are installed on the supporting frame and the fixing plate. Multiple guiding sprockets cooperating with the corresponding conveying chains are fixed on each guiding shaft. One of the guiding shafts is fixedly connected with an upper pressing and conveying motor, which is convenient for driving the guiding and conveying chain.

[0013] The present utility model also provides a meat slicer, which includes a meat slicing frame. A meat slicing mechanism is provided on the meat slicing frame. It also includes the above-mentioned continuous feeding mechanism. The continuous feeding mechanism is arranged beside the meat slicing mechanism. The feeding platform of the continuous feeding mechanism is fixed on the meat slicing frame.
