[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a chocolate rapid cutting machine, which includes: a frame 1, and a cutting component 2 for cutting chocolate into pieces is mounted inside the frame 1.

[0029] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6The slitting assembly 2 includes a support plate 21, a slidably connected support piece 22 inside the support plate 21, a plurality of horizontally and vertically intersecting slitting blades 221 at the bottom of the support piece 22, through holes 222 at the corresponding positions of the gaps between two adjacent slitting blades 221 inside the support piece 222, and a movably connected extrusion piece 232 inside the through holes 222; a fixedly connected support frame 23 at the top of the support piece 22, and extrusion telescopic rods 231 at the bottom of the support frame 23 at the corresponding positions of the extrusion pieces 232, the bottom end of the extrusion telescopic rods 231 being connected to the top of the extrusion pieces 232, and an extrusion spring 233 on the outside of the extrusion telescopic rods 231, the two ends of the extrusion springs 233 being fixedly connected to the corresponding extrusion pieces 232 and the support frame 23 respectively, and the bottom of the extrusion pieces 232 being located below the slitting blades 221.

[0030] It should be noted that: since the bottom of the extrusion plate 232 is located below the slitting blade 221, when the cylinder 11 extends and drives the bottom slitting blade 221 to move downward, during this process, the extrusion plate 232 located in the gap of the slitting blade 221 will first abut against the top of the chocolate, thereby initially positioning the chocolate piece, so that the slitting blade 221, which continues to move downward, can more stably cut the chocolate piece. After the chocolate is cut, the cylinder 11 retracts and drives the slitting blade 221 to move upward to reset.

[0031] The extrusion plate 232 located in the gap of the slitting blade 221 will squeeze the slit chocolate in the gap of the slitting blade 221 under the force of the extrusion spring 233, so that the chocolate can fall smoothly and reduce the impact of the chocolate getting stuck in the gap of the slitting blade 221 on the subsequent slitting work.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A movably connected limiting frame 24 is mounted on the top of the support plate 21. Limiting telescopic rods 241 are mounted between the two sides of the bottom of the limiting frame 24 and the support plate 21. Limiting springs 242 are sleeved on the outside of the limiting telescopic rods 241. The two ends of the limiting springs 242 are fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting frames 24 and the support plate 21. A positioning frame 3 is mounted inside the frame 1 at the part opposite to the support plate 22. A positioning ring 32 is provided at each of the four corners of the bottom of the positioning frame 3. An electric push rod 31 is provided inside the positioning ring 32. The bottom end of the electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the top end of the electric push rod 31 is connected to the inside of the positioning ring 32 by magnetic attraction.

[0033] It should be noted that by adopting a sliding connection between the limiting rod 243 and the insert 223, during use, by lifting the limiting frame 24, the limiting frame 24 causes the limiting rod 243 to slide out from inside the insert 223 and the support plate 21, thus releasing the limitation on the insert 223. This allows the operator to easily slide the support plate 22 out of the support plate 21 to disassemble and replace the slitting blade 221. Furthermore, by using magnetic adsorption to connect the positioning frame 3 and the electric push rod 31, the operator can directly lift the positioning frame 3 from the top of the electric push rod 31 for disassembly and replacement, thereby reducing the difficulty of replacing the positioning frame 3. Through the flexible replacement of the slitting blade 221 and the positioning frame 3, this device can flexibly cut various types of chocolate, thereby increasing the applicability of this device.

[0034] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A transfer conveyor belt 4 is installed below the internal positioning frame 3 of the frame 1. A support frame 41 is installed inside the transfer conveyor belt 4. The bottom of the support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the top of the support frame 41 abuts against and slides against the inner top of the transfer conveyor belt 4. A feeding conveyor belt 5 is installed below the transfer conveyor belt 4 inside the frame 1. A cylinder 11 is installed inside the frame 1, and the bottom end of the cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 21.

[0035] It should be noted that after the chocolate is cut, the electric push rod can be extended to lift the positioning frame 3 upwards. Then, the transfer conveyor belt 4 can be rotated to automatically transfer the cut chocolate to the unloading conveyor belt 5, making it more convenient and faster to unload the cut chocolate pieces.

[0036] The working principle of the chocolate rapid cutting machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0037] When using this device, the operator can first take out the positioning frame 3 and the cutting blade 221 that are compatible with the required chocolate cutting specifications. Then, the positioning ring 32 at the bottom of the positioning frame 3 can be aligned with the end of the electric push rod 31, so that the magnetic block at the top of the positioning ring 32 is attracted to the top of the electric push rod 31 to install the positioning frame 3.

[0038] Then, the limiting frame 24 can be lifted upwards with one hand, causing the limiting frame 24 to move the bottom limiting rod 243 out of the slot 211. At the same time, the support plate 22 is held and the insert strip 223 at the top of the support plate 22 is inserted into the slot 211. Then, the lifting force on the limiting frame 24 can be released. At this time, the limiting spring 242 can pull the limiting frame 24 through its own force, causing the limiting rod 243 at the bottom of the limiting frame 24 to be inserted into the limiting hole inside the insert strip 223. Thus, the installation of the slitting blade 221 can be completed by limiting and fixing the insert strip 223.

[0039] At this time, the staff can place the chocolate to be cut into the positioning frame 3 and control the cylinder 11 to extend. The extended cylinder 11 can drive the bottom cutting blade 221 to move downward through the support plate 22. During this process, the extrusion plate 232 located in the gap of the cutting blade 221 will first abut against the top of the chocolate, so that the chocolate piece can be initially positioned, making the cutting blade 221, which continues to move downward, more stable in cutting the chocolate piece. After the chocolate is cut, the cylinder 11 retracts and drives the cutting blade 221 to move upward to reset.

[0040] The extrusion plate 232 located in the gap of the slitting blade 221 will squeeze the slit chocolate in the gap of the slitting blade 221 under the action of the extrusion spring 233, so that the chocolate can fall smoothly and reduce the impact of the chocolate getting stuck in the gap of the slitting blade 221 on the subsequent slitting work.

[0041] At the same time, the electric push rod 31 can be controlled to extend. The extended electric push rod 31 can drive the positioning frame 3 to move upward, thereby removing the obstruction of the internal chocolate by the positioning frame 3. At this time, the rotating conveyor belt will smoothly drive the cut chocolate above to move towards the unloading conveyor belt 5, thus making it more convenient to unload the cut chocolate.

[0042] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
