The gluten can be processed in advance in the workshop, reducing the labor intensity of the users;

[0031] 2. In the utility model, the upper and lower cutter assemblies are arranged relative to each other, the upper annular cutter on the upper cutter assembly and the lower annular cutter on the lower cutter assembly are staggered, and the bottom of the upper annular cutter is located between the adjacent lower annular cutters. In this way, when the gluten passes between the upper and lower cutter assemblies, the upper and lower annular cutters can quickly cut and draw patterns on the gluten. The gluten can be automatically and quickly cut and drawn patterns by only using the gluten conveying mechanism to convey the gluten between the upper and lower cutter assemblies, thereby improving the cutting efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0032] 3. In the present invention, the upper annular cutter can move axially on the upper connecting shaft, and the lower annular cutter can move axially on the lower connecting shaft. The corresponding upper and lower through grooves are used to limit the axial movement of the corresponding annular cutters, so that the upper and lower annular cutters can be appropriately offset and made to give way during the gluten cutting process, thereby preventing the corresponding annular cutters from colliding with the gluten conveying mechanism and preventing damage to the annular cutters.

[0033] 4. The relative distance between the upper and lower cutter assemblies in the utility model is adjustable, which is suitable for cutting gluten with different diameters, thus improving the scope of application;

[0034] 5. In the utility model, the gluten conveying stopper is driven by the transmission of the chain to move, and the gluten in the hopper is conveyed to the left by the gluten conveying stopper, and staggered upper and lower cutting grooves are provided on the gluten conveying stopper, so that when the gluten passes through the upper and lower annular cutters, the upper and lower cutting grooves can make way for the upper and lower annular cutters. When the gluten passes through the upper and lower annular cutters, the gluten is blocked by the gluten conveying stopper, so that the upper and lower annular cutters can stably cut the gluten, thereby realizing automatic cutting of the gluten, improving the efficiency of cutting the gluten, and ensuring the stability and quality of cutting;

[0035] 6. In the present invention, the gluten conveying block is used to convey the gluten, so that the gluten can be stably conveyed to the cutting mechanism for cutting the gluten, thereby realizing large-scale and rapid cutting of gluten;

[0036] 7. The present invention also provides a pushing mechanism to push the gluten above the gluten conveying stopper to the right so that it falls back into the hopper or falls between adjacent gluten conveying stoppers, so that the gluten can stably enter the cutting mechanism to be cut;

[0037] 8. The bottom of the hopper in the present invention adopts an inclined structure, and adjustment plates are respectively provided on the front and rear side walls of the hopper cavity.

At the same time, the arrangement of the adjustment plate, when the adjustment plate is rotated outward, can fully open the bottom of the hopper cavity, thereby being used for conveying longer gluten. When the adjustment plate is rotated inward, the front and rear sides of the hopper cavity can be partially blocked, which is used for conveying shorter gluten, thereby increasing the scope of application and reducing costs.

[0038] 9. The front and rear side walls of the material chamber in the present invention both adopt a slope structure, and a channel is provided at the right end of the silo, so that the conveying component can be directly placed into the silo. During the operation of the conveying component, the gluten is directly delivered from the silo, so that more gluten can be placed in the silo, reducing the frequency of staff adding gluten and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0061] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0062] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 16 As shown, a gluten cutting machine includes a frame 1;

[0063] The gluten conveying mechanism 2 is installed on the frame 1. The gluten conveying mechanism 2 includes a silo 21 and a conveying assembly 22. The right end of the conveying assembly 22 is arranged in the silo 21; the top surface of the conveying assembly 22 is arranged to be inclined upward from right to left;

[0064] The bisection mechanism 4 is installed on the frame 1 on the upper left side of the silo 21. The bisection mechanism 4 includes an upper cutter assembly 41 and a lower cutter assembly 42. A plurality of upper annular cutters 412 are arranged at intervals on the upper cutter assembly 41, and a plurality of lower annular cutters 422 are arranged at intervals on the lower cutter assembly 42. The upper annular cutters 412 and the lower annular cutters 422 are staggered. The bottom of each upper annular cutter 412 is inserted between adjacent lower annular cutters 422. The bottom of the upper annular cutter 412 and the top surface of the lower annular cutter 412 are respectively inserted into the conveying assembly 22.

[0065] The pushing mechanism 5 is arranged above the conveying assembly 22 between the hopper 21 and the cutting mechanism 4. The pushing mechanism 5 includes a pushing component 51 and a pushing driving component 52 for driving the pushing component 51 to rotate. The pushing component 51 is arranged directly above the conveying assembly 22, and there is a distance between the bottom surface of the pushing component 51 and the top surface of the conveying assembly 22.

[0066] In this embodiment, during actual use, the gluten is put into the trough, and the gluten in the hopper is conveyed toward the upper left through the conveying assembly. When the gluten leaves the hopper, the excess gluten is pushed back into the hopper by the rotating pushing component in the pushing mechanism. Then the conveying assembly moves the gluten above it toward the upper left, and passes through the cutting mechanism. The upper part of the gluten is cut by multiple upper annular cutters, and the lower part of the gluten is cut by multiple lower annular cutters, thereby realizing the cutting of the gluten. After the gluten is cut, it falls downward from the left end of the conveying assembly, and a receiving bucket is set below the left end of the conveying assembly to collect the cut gluten. The structure of the gluten after cutting is as follows after unfolding Figure 1 Among them, in this embodiment, the automatic bisection of gluten can be achieved, the bisection efficiency is high, the quality is good, and the labor intensity of the operator can be effectively reduced.

[0067] See also Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the conveying assembly 22 includes two chains 221 spaced apart from each other, a conveying driving component for driving the two chains 221 to rotate, and a plurality of groups of gluten conveying blocking members 222. The plurality of groups of gluten conveying blocking members 222 are parallel to each other and spaced apart. The two ends of the gluten conveying blocking members 222 are respectively connected to the two chains 221, and a gluten conveying placement space is formed between adjacent gluten conveying blocking members 222.

[0068] The top surface of the gluten conveying stopper 222 is provided with a plurality of upper grooves 2221 spaced from front to back, the bottom of the upper grooves 2221 is not connected to the bottom surface of the gluten conveying stopper 222, the bottom surface of the gluten conveying stopper 222 is provided with a plurality of lower grooves 2222 spaced from front to back, the top of the lower grooves 2222 is not connected to the top surface of the gluten conveying stopper 222, the upper grooves 2221 and the lower grooves 2222 are staggered, and each lower groove 2222 is arranged between adjacent upper grooves 2221.

[0069] The bottom of each upper annular cutter 412 is arranged opposite to one of the upper cutting grooves 2221 , and the top of each lower annular cutter 422 is arranged opposite to one of the lower cutting grooves 2222 .

[0070] In this embodiment, the chain forms a closed loop structure, comprising two curved segments on either side and a straight segment disposed between the curved segments. The ends of the straight segments are connected to the ends of the curved segments on either side. A receiving bucket is located below the curved segment on the left side. After the conveying assembly conveys the cut gluten to the curved segment on the left side, the gluten falls directly into the receiving bucket. The straight segments are arranged upwardly and tilted from right to left. The upper cutter assembly is disposed above the upper straight segment, and the lower cutter assembly is disposed below the upper straight segment. The bottom of each upper annular cutter is disposed opposite an upper cutting groove, and the top of each lower annular cutter is disposed opposite a lower cutting groove. The right side of the upper straight segment is disposed within the silo, the top of the right curved segment is within the silo, and the remaining portion is located outside the silo. The right end of the lower straight segment is located at the lower right side of the silo, the left side is located at the upper left side of the silo, and the left curved segment is located at the upper left side of the silo. The two ends of the gluten conveying stopper are respectively connected to two chains, so that when the chain rotates, the top gluten conveying stopper is driven to move from right to left. The frame is also provided with a surrounding support plate 11, and the two chains are respectively wrapped around the outside of the support plate. The gluten conveying stopper is arranged on the outside of the support plate. The support plate is also provided with a notch 12, which is located in the upper left corner of the hopper. The cutting mechanism is arranged opposite to the notch, the upper cutter assembly is located directly above the notch, and the top of the lower cutter assembly is located in the notch.

[0071] Among them, the gluten is placed in the hopper, and when the chain drives the gluten conveying stopper in the hopper to move to the left, the gluten at the bottom of the hopper will be conveyed to the left and away from the hopper, and the gluten is between the adjacent gluten conveying stoppers (in the gluten conveying placement space). The gluten will be driven to move to the left by the gluten conveying stoppers, and when it passes between the upper cutter assembly and the lower cutter assembly, it will contact the upper annular cutter and the lower annular cutter of the upper cutter assembly and the lower cutter assembly, and the upper annular cutter and the lower annular cutter are used to cut the gluten in half, thereby realizing automatic cutting of the gluten. After cutting and stretching, the gluten is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the upper and lower cutting grooves are used to make way for the upper and lower circular cutters, preventing them from colliding with the gluten conveying stop. When the upper and lower circular cutters come into contact with the gluten, the gluten is blocked by the gluten conveying stop on the right side, allowing the gluten to be cut smoothly.

[0072] Among them, since the amount of gluten in the silo is relatively large, therefore, in the process of the gluten conveying stopper moving to the left and leaving the silo, some gluten will also move to the left and leave the silo. Therefore, through the setting of the pushing mechanism, the gluten on the gluten conveying stopper is pushed to the right to make it fall back into the silo, or fall between adjacent gluten conveying stoppers. Among them, the width between adjacent gluten conveying stoppers is smaller than the length of the gluten, therefore, some gluten will smoothly fall between adjacent gluten conveying stoppers, and the top surface of the conveying component is tilted upward from right to left, so the height of the gluten at the conveying component outside the left side of the silo will be higher than the height of the gluten in the silo, and the remaining part of the gluten will fall back into the silo. In this way, it can be ensured that the gluten is either normally sent out by the conveying component or falls back into the silo, and will not fall on the ground, nor will it affect the normal cutting of the gluten.

[0073] See also Figure 6 As shown, the pushing component 51 includes a pushing shaft 511 and a plurality of pushing plates 512 distributed on the outer surface of the pushing shaft 511. The pushing shaft 511 is arranged parallel to the gluten conveying stopper 222. The bottom surface of the pushing plate 512 at the bottom is arranged close to the top surface of the conveying component 22. The pushing drive component 52 is configured to drive the pushing shaft 511 to rotate.

[0074] Among them, the pushing drive assembly adopts a pushing drive motor, which is installed on the frame. Its output shaft is connected to the pushing shaft, and it drives the pushing shaft to rotate counterclockwise, so that the pushing plate at the bottom rotates to the right, thereby pushing the gluten above the gluten conveying stopper to the right, pushing it to fall between adjacent gluten conveying stoppers or into the hopper.

[0075] See also Figure 5 As shown, the front and rear ends of the gluten conveying and blocking member 222 are respectively provided with baffles 2223 extending toward the left end or the right end, and the ends of the baffles 2223 are arranged close to the adjacent gluten conveying and blocking member 222. Each baffle 2223 is arranged close to one side of the chain, so that the baffles 2223 can be used to block both sides of the gluten to prevent the ends of the gluten from falling out from both sides, thereby ensuring that the gluten can contact the corresponding upper and lower annular cutters when passing through the cutting mechanism, ensuring normal cutting of the gluten.

[0076] See also Figures 2-4 As shown, the conveying drive component includes a driving shaft 223, a driven shaft 224 and a conveying drive motor 225. The driving shaft 223 and the driven shaft 224 are rotatably arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 1 respectively. The conveying drive motor 225 is configured to drive the driving shaft 223 to rotate;

[0077] A driving gear 226 is provided at both ends of the driving shaft 223 , a driven gear 227 is provided at both ends of the driven shaft 224 , and both ends of each chain 221 are wound around one of the driving gears 226 and the driven gear 227 .

[0078] In this embodiment, the driving shaft is arranged at the upper left of the driven shaft. The conveying drive motor drives the driving shaft to rotate, thereby driving the driving gears on both sides to rotate, and then drives the two chains to rotate synchronously, driving the gluten conveying material block to move, thereby achieving the feeding of gluten. Furthermore, since gluten contains water, if the driving shaft is arranged at the lower right of the silo, the water in the trough may leak into the conveying drive motor and cause damage to it. Therefore, it is arranged at the upper left of the silo to prevent the conveying drive motor from being damaged by water ingress.

[0079] See also Figures 2-4 8 to 10, the silo 21 is a hollow structure with an open top. An adjustment plate 212 is installed on the front and rear sides of the silo 21 respectively. When the adjustment plate 212 is flipped outward, the adjustment plate 212 abuts against the side wall of the corresponding side of the silo 21, and the top of the right end of the conveying assembly 22 is completely exposed in the silo 21;

[0080] When the adjusting plates 212 are flipped inward, the distance between the inner ends of the two adjusting plates 212 is smaller than the length of the gluten conveying blocking member 222 .

[0081] Among them, a material cavity 211 is provided in the material silo 21, and the top and left side of the material cavity 211 are respectively connected to the outside of the material silo 21, and the bottom surface of the material silo 21 is inclined upward from right to left. The right end of the material silo 21 is provided with a channel 215 connected to the material cavity 211, and the bottom of the channel 215 is flush with the bottom surface of the material cavity 211.

[0082] The inner ends of the adjustment plates 212 are arranged parallel to the bottom surface of the hopper 211. The two adjustment plates 212 are rotatably mounted on the front and rear side walls of the hopper chamber 211, respectively. The outer ends of each adjustment plate 212 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the hopper chamber 211 via hinges 216. When the inner ends of the adjustment plates 212 are rotated downward, the distance between the inner ends of the two adjustment plates 212 is less than the bottom width of the hopper chamber 211. When the inner ends of the adjustment plates 212 are rotated upward, the adjustment plates 212 abut against the inner walls of the corresponding sides of the hopper chamber 211. The adjustment plates 212 are arranged upwardly and tilted from the inside to the outside, completely opening the bottom of the hopper chamber 211.

[0083] Gluten generally has two categories, large gluten and small gluten, and the two types of gluten have different diameters and lengths. The width of the conveying assembly is slightly larger than the length of the large gluten. Therefore, when feeding large gluten, the inner end of the adjustment plate is rotated upward so that the adjustment plate rests on the inner wall of the corresponding side of the material cavity. This completely exposes the top of the conveying assembly in the material cavity, allowing the large gluten to fall normally onto the conveying assembly and be transported by the gluten conveying material stop. If small gluten is transported, there may be two gluten in the same longitudinal direction, and the two gluten are staggered, so the gluten is not centered. In this way, when cutting, the cutting effect is poor, and the distance between the gluten end and the cut groove is long and short, which is not aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, the structure of the gluten is a structure with smaller ends (and asymmetry), so there is a possibility that the end of the gluten is completely cut off, resulting in a shorter gluten length, making the gluten unqualified. Therefore, when the small gluten is transported and cut, the inner end of the adjustment plate is flipped downward, and the distance between the inner ends of the two adjustment plates is slightly larger than the length of the small gluten, so that the gluten is centered as much as possible to ensure the quality and aesthetics of the cutting.

[0084] At the same time, if the gluten has other sizes, just replace the adjustment plate of the corresponding length, and the replacement is also convenient and quick.

[0085] See also Figures 8-10 As shown, the front side wall and the rear side wall of the material chamber 211 are inclined surfaces 213 arranged outwardly from bottom to top, and each of the inclined surfaces 213 is provided with a connecting inclined plate 214. The outer end of the connecting inclined plate 214 is connected to the middle of the inclined surface 213. The connecting inclined plate 214 is arranged outwardly from bottom to top.

[0086] The adjustment plate 212 is disposed above the connecting inclined plate 214 , and the hinge 216 is disposed on the inclined surface 213 above the connecting inclined plate 214 .

[0087] See also Figures 8-10 As shown, when the inner end of the adjusting plate 212 rotates downward, the adjusting plate 212 abuts against the connecting inclined plate 214, and the inner end of the adjusting plate 212 is arranged directly above the bottom surface of the material cavity 211, and the distance between the inner ends of the adjusting plates 212 on both sides is smaller than the width of the bottom surface of the material cavity 211;

[0088] When the inner end of the adjusting plate 212 rotates upward, the adjusting plate 212 abuts against the inclined surface 213 , and the bottom of the material cavity 211 is completely opened.

[0089] The inclined surface, connecting inclined plate, and adjustment plate are all inclined structures. The bottom surfaces of the adjustment plate, inclined surface, and connecting inclined plate are all parallel to the bottom surface of the hopper chamber. They are tilted upward from the inside to the outside, allowing the gluten to move toward the conveyor assembly under its own weight, ensuring that the gluten is stably delivered from the hopper. Furthermore, when the inner end of the adjustment plate rotates downward, the connecting inclined plate can also support the adjustment plate, preventing the adjustment plate from colliding with the conveyor assembly and affecting its normal operation.

[0090] When the adjustment plate 212 abuts against the connecting inclined plate 214 , the inner end of the adjustment plate 212 is disposed below the inner end of the connecting inclined plate 214 .

[0091] See also Figure 9 As shown, a vertical plate 217 is respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the material cavity 211, and a horizontal plate 218 parallel to the bottom surface of the material cavity 211 is installed on the top of the vertical plate 217. The outer end of the horizontal plate 218 is arranged on the outer side of the vertical plate 217, and the inner end of the horizontal plate 218 is arranged on the inner side of the vertical plate 217. The corresponding side of the inclined surface 213 is connected to the top of the outer end of the horizontal plate 218, and the inner end of the connecting inclined plate 214 is connected to the inner end of the horizontal plate 218.

[0092] The top surface of the channel is flush with the bottom surface of the right end of the horizontal plate.

[0093] In this embodiment, each chain is inserted between the horizontal plate and the bottom surface of the feed chamber, and the gluten conveying stopper is connected to the chains on both sides. In this way, the gluten falling downward will fall between the two horizontal plates and will not fall onto the chains or get stuck in the chains, thereby preventing the chains from contaminating the gluten. The channel is used for the passage of the chains and the gluten conveying stopper. The height of the channel is slightly greater than the height of the gluten conveying stopper, and its width is slightly greater than the distance between the two chains. In this way, when the gluten falls downward to the bottom of the feed chamber, it will not fall to the right through the channel.

[0094] See also Figure 8 As shown, the right end of the adjustment plate 212 is disposed close to the right side wall of the cavity, and the left end of the adjustment plate is disposed close to the left end of the cavity. The right side wall of the cavity is tilted from top to bottom and is disposed toward the left, so that the gluten can fall stably downward onto the bottom surface of the cavity.

[0095] See also Figure 7 、 11 As shown in Figures 16 to 16, the upper cutter assembly 41 is arranged above the lower cutter assembly 42; the upper cutter assembly 41 is arranged above the conveying assembly 22, and the lower cutter assembly 42 is arranged inside the conveying assembly 22;

[0096] 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 axially movably sleeved on the upper connecting shaft 411. The first positioning plate 410 has a plurality of upper through slots 413 spaced apart along the axial extension direction of the upper connecting shaft 411. The bottom of each upper annular cutter 412 passes through one of the upper through slots 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.

[0097] The lower cutter 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 cutters 422 axially movably sleeved on the lower connecting shaft 421. The second positioning plate 420 has a plurality of lower through slots 423 spaced apart along the axial extension direction of the lower connecting shaft 421. The top of each lower annular cutter 422 passes through one of the lower through slots 423 and is disposed above the top surface of the second positioning plate 420. Adjacent lower annular cutters 422 form a lower spacing.

[0098] The bottom of each upper annular cutter 412 is inserted into a lower spacing, and the top of each lower annular cutter 422 is inserted into an upper spacing.

[0099] The upper and lower annular cutters will cut the gluten between the adjacent gluten conveying stoppers, and the gluten will be cut and patterned (see FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the gluten is cut in half and then stretched), thereby realizing automatic cutting of the gluten, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of the operators, improve the cutting efficiency, and realize large-scale and rapid cutting. In this way, the gluten can be cut in half in advance in the workshop, and subsequent users only need to thread the gluten (either manually or automatically using a skewer transfer device).

[0100] The width of the upper through groove 413 is greater than the wall thickness of the upper annular cutter 412 , and the width of the lower through groove 423 is greater than the wall thickness of the lower annular cutter 422 .

[0101] In this embodiment, the upper and lower annular cutters are not completely fixed on the upper and lower connecting shafts respectively, and they can move axially. In this way, mainly during the movement of the gluten conveying stopper driven by the chain, the gluten conveying stopper may move slightly. At the same time, the upper and lower connecting shafts cannot be completely extended axially without slight deformation. The width of the upper cutting groove is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the upper annular cutter, and the width of the lower cutting groove is slightly larger than the wall thickness of the lower annular cutter. In order to prevent the upper and lower annular cutters, the lower annular cutters and the gluten conveying stopper from colliding and causing damage to the corresponding annular cutters, the upper and lower annular cutters can move axially on the corresponding connecting shafts, so that the corresponding annular cutters can move axially to make way after contacting the gluten conveying stopper a little bit, so that the upper and lower annular cutters can pass through the upper and lower cutting grooves smoothly. However, in order to prevent the upper and lower annular cutters from moving excessively and unrestricted in axial direction, the upper and lower through grooves are provided to limit the axial movement of the upper and lower annular cutters. However, they can also move axially to a certain position to ensure smooth cutting of the gluten and the stability of the cutting.

[0102] See also Figure 12 As shown, an upper axial ridge 414 is provided on the outer surface of the upper connecting shaft 411, an upper mounting hole 415 is provided in the center of the upper annular cutter 412, and an upper positioning opening 416 is provided on the inner wall of the upper mounting hole 415 to match the upper axial ridge 414. The upper annular cutter 412 is axially movably sleeved on the upper connecting shaft 411 through the upper mounting hole 415 and the upper positioning opening 416;

[0103] A lower axial protrusion 424 is provided on the outer surface of the lower connecting shaft 421, and a lower mounting hole 425 is provided in the center of the lower annular cutter 422. A lower positioning opening 426 matching the lower axial protrusion 424 is provided on the inner wall of the lower mounting hole 425. The lower annular cutter 422 is axially movably sleeved on the lower connecting shaft 421 through the lower mounting hole 425 and the lower positioning opening 426.

[0104] In this way, the upper annular cutter will not rotate relative to the upper connecting shaft, and the lower annular cutter will not rotate relative to the lower connecting shaft. When the upper connecting shaft rotates, all the upper annular cutters will be driven to rotate synchronously, and when the lower connecting shaft rotates, all the lower annular cutters will be driven to rotate.

[0105] See also Figures 11-16 As shown, both ends of the upper connecting shaft 411 are 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 .

[0106] Both ends of the lower connecting shaft 421 are rotatably connected to a lower vertical plate 427 , respectively. The lower vertical plate 427 is mounted on the frame 1 .

[0107] In this way, when the gluten passes through the upper annular cutter and the lower annular cutter, the gluten can be cut smoothly even if the upper connecting shaft and the lower connecting shaft do not rotate. At the same time, since the gluten may rotate relatively during the contact with the upper and lower annular cutters, the upper connecting shaft and the lower connecting shaft are rotatably connected. At the same time, the use of annular cutters can ensure that even if a part of the gluten rotates, it will not affect the cutting of the gluten, thereby ensuring the stability and quality of the cutting.

[0108] See also Figure 11 、 16 As shown, two vertical strip grooves 428 are provided on the lower vertical plate 427 , and a locking bolt is inserted into each of the vertical strip grooves 428 . The locking bolt locks the lower vertical plate 427 to be positioned on the frame 1 .

[0109] A vertical strip groove is provided to adjust the distance between the lower connecting shaft and the top surface of the second positioning plate, that is, to adjust the distance between the top surface of the lower annular cutter and the top surface of the second positioning plate. The height of the outer exposure of the lower annular cutter can be adjusted according to the diameter of the gluten and the required cutting depth, which can not only ensure the cutting quality but also prevent the gluten from being completely cut off.

[0110] See also Figure 2 、 7 , 11 to 16, the second positioning plate 420 is connected to the frame 1;

[0111] The first positioning plate 410 is arranged parallel to and directly above the second positioning plate 420, and the first positioning plate 410 is connected to the second positioning plate 420 via multiple guide rods 43; each guide rod 43 is screwed with multiple nuts 430, and the end faces of the two nuts 430 respectively abut against the top and bottom surfaces of the second positioning plate 420, and the end faces of the two nuts 430 respectively abut against the top and bottom surfaces of the first positioning plate 410.

[0112] In this embodiment, the first positioning plate is connected to the second positioning plate through a guide rod, so that the upper cutter assembly can be fixed. The position of the guide rod and the second positioning plate is adjusted by using a nut, so that 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 cutter and the second positioning plate can be adjusted, so as to adapt to the cutting of gluten of different sizes and prevent the gluten from being completely cut, but the cutting depth can be guaranteed. When adjustment is needed, the two nuts at both ends of the second positioning plate are kept stationary, 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 toward the first positioning plate, so that the nuts are against the first positioning plate, thereby achieving the fixation of the first positioning plate and the position adjustment of the first positioning plate and the upper annular cutter.

[0113] 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 rest on 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 the guide rods and nuts.

[0114] See also Figures 13-15 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 .

[0115] The top of the upper annular cutter 410 is disposed above the top surface of the third positioning plate 418 .

[0116] In this way, the upper part of the upper annular cutter can be axially limited by the third positioning plate to prevent the upper annular cutter from being deformed and ensure the cutting quality.

[0117] 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 a timely manner.

[0118] In this embodiment, a protective cover is provided on the outside of the frame (the silo leaks out, so no protective cover is provided) to protect the internal mechanism from leaking out. The protective cover is not shown in the accompanying drawings.
