Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biscuit production equipment, and in particular to a round biscuit rotary cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Cookies or chocolates are sometimes processed into round or spherical shapes during production. Current technology often uses a stamping machine to cut them into round or spherical shapes. Stamping and cutting can cut multiple cookies at once, which can improve production efficiency. However, cookies produced by stamping and cutting also have certain disadvantages, such as rough edges and a rough cut surface, which affects the appearance of the cookies. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a circular cookie rotary cutter that can cut multiple circular or spherical cookies at once, producing a smooth cut surface and improving cookie cutting efficiency and quality.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A circular biscuit slicing machine, comprising

[0006] The feeding device includes a feeding plate for placing the biscuit pieces to be cut, and the feeding plate is provided with multiple clearance grooves;

[0007] A lifting device includes a lifting plate and a lifting mechanism. The lifting plate is located above the material placement plate, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the lifting plate to move up and down.

[0008] A rotary cutting device is installed on the lifting plate, including multiple rotary cutting blades and a rotary cutting motor. The rotary cutting blades are cylindrical and have a cutting edge at the bottom. Multiple rotary cutting blades are installed on the lifting plate and are arranged opposite to the clearance groove. The rotary cutting motor is used to drive the rotary cutting blades to rotate, so as to cut the biscuit block into multiple round biscuits.

[0009] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a circular biscuit rotary cutter has at least the following beneficial effects: Before cutting the biscuits, the feeding device places the biscuit pieces to be cut on the feeding plate. Then, the lifting device lowers the lifting plate via a lifting mechanism. Simultaneously, the rotary cutting motor drives multiple rotary cutting blades to rotate. The high-speed rotation of the rotary cutting blades cuts the biscuit pieces into multiple circular biscuits with a smooth, burr-free cut surface. The clearance groove prevents the rotary cutting blades from hitting the surface of the feeding plate. Finally, the lifting mechanism raises the lifting plate to complete the cutting process. Therefore, this circular biscuit rotary cutter can cut multiple circular or spherical biscuits at once, and the cut surface is smooth, improving the cutting efficiency and quality of the biscuits.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of the aforementioned clearance grooves and a plurality of the aforementioned rotary cutting blade arrays are arranged.

[0011] The advantages are that the anti-cavity groove and rotary cutting blade array configuration facilitates machine installation and processing, and allows for the processing of a larger number of round cookies at once, thus improving processing utilization.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the material placement plate is composed of multiple long strip panels separated from the central axis of the clearance groove. The multiple long strip panels are provided with through holes at both ends and are connected by guide tubes. A chain is provided between two long strip panels.

[0013] The advantage is that the feeding plate is divided into multiple long strips connected by a chain. They can be assembled together before the biscuits are cut to provide support during processing. After cutting, the long strips are separated by the chain, creating an empty space on the central axis of the trough, allowing the round biscuits to fall from the empty space. Only a feeding conveyor belt or feeding frame needs to be set under the feeding plate for collection.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the material placement plate is provided with a material discharge cylinder on both sides to drive the long strip panels to assemble or separate.

[0015] The advantage is that the long strip panels can be automatically unloaded by using a discharge cylinder to drive them to assemble or separate, which is convenient to control.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lifting mechanism includes a vertical plate disposed on the rear side of the material placement plate and lifting cylinders disposed on both sides of the vertical plate, wherein the output end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting plate.

[0017] The advantages are: the lifting mechanism uses a lifting cylinder mounted on a vertical plate to drive the lifting plate up and down, which is reasonable in structure and easy to control.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upright plate is provided with cantilever seats on both sides for mounting the lifting cylinder.

[0019] The advantage is that setting a cantilever seat on the upright plate facilitates the installation of the lifting cylinder, and at the same time makes the force between the lifting cylinder and the lifting plate even.

[0020] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the lifting plate is provided with side plates on both sides, and a first top plate and a second top plate are provided sequentially on the side plates. The first top plate and the second top plate are rotatably connected to the rotary cutting blade. A plurality of rotary cutting blades are provided between the first top plate and the lifting plate with small gears meshing with each other. The second top plate is provided with the rotary cutting motor. The output shaft of the rotary cutting motor is provided downward and extends to a large gear between the first top plate and the lifting plate. The large gear meshes with the small gear.

[0021] The advantages are: setting up a first top plate and a second top plate facilitates the installation of the rotary cutter and the rotary cutting motor, and also facilitates the installation of small gears on the rotary cutter and large gears on the rotary cutting motor, so that the rotary cutting motor can drive multiple rotary cutters to rotate.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotary cutting device includes an ejection mechanism, which includes a guide post disposed on the first top plate, a guide sleeve sleeved on the guide post, and a gravity plate fixedly installed on the guide sleeve. The bottom surface of the gravity plate is provided with a plurality of push rods, which extend into the corresponding rotary cutting blades for ejecting the biscuit from the rotary cutting blades after rotary cutting.

[0023] The advantage is that by setting the guide sleeve on the gravity plate to descend along the guide column under the action of gravity, multiple push rods on the bottom surface of the gravity plate pass through the rotary cutter, hold the cookie in place before the rotary cutter rotates, press the cookie down during the rotation process, and push out the round cookie at the end.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotary cutting device includes a pressing mechanism, the pressing mechanism includes a grid pressing strip disposed below the lifting plate, the rotary cutting blade is disposed in the space between the grid pressing strip, pressing rods are provided on both sides of the grid pressing strip, the bottom surface of the lifting plate is provided with mounting holes that cooperate with the pressing rods, and a compression spring is provided in the mounting holes to cooperate with the pressing rods.

[0025] The advantage is that the pressing mechanism presses the round cookie tightly around the grid pressing strip, which helps to stabilize the rotary cutting process. The compression spring and pressure bar ensure that the rotary cutter can cut downwards from the gaps between the grid pressing strip when the grid pressing strip is used to press the round cookie tightly around the cookie.

[0026] According to some embodiments of this utility model, there are two rotary cutting motors, and the two rotary cutting motors respectively drive one half of the rotary cutting blade to rotate.

[0027] The advantage is that setting up two rotary cutting motors can reduce the load on multiple rotary cutting blades, which is conducive to the stable operation of the rotary cutting motors for a long time.

[0028] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 A circular biscuit slicing machine is described in detail with reference to a specific embodiment. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a circular biscuit rotary cutter includes a feeding device, a lifting device, and a rotary cutting device.

[0044] The feeding device includes a feeding plate 100, which is used to place the biscuit pieces to be cut. The feeding plate 100 is provided with multiple clearance grooves 110. The lifting device includes a lifting plate 120 and a lifting mechanism. The lifting plate 120 is located above the feeding plate 100, and the lifting mechanism is used to drive the lifting plate 120 to rise and fall. The rotary cutting device is set on the lifting plate 120 and includes multiple rotary cutting blades 130 and a rotary cutting motor 140. The rotary cutting blades 130 are cylindrical and have a blade at the bottom. The multiple rotary cutting blades 130 are installed on the lifting plate 120 and are arranged opposite to the clearance grooves 110 (to make it easier to see the positional relationship between the rotary cutting blades 130 and the rotary cutting motor 140, only half of the number of rotary cutting blades 130 is shown in the figure). The rotary cutting motor 140 is used to drive the rotary cutting blades 130 to rotate so as to cut the biscuit pieces into multiple round biscuits. Before cutting the biscuits, the feeding device places the biscuit pieces to be cut on the feeding plate 100. Then, the lifting device, through a lifting mechanism, lowers the lifting plate 120. Simultaneously, the rotary cutting motor 140 drives multiple rotary cutting blades 130 to rotate. The high-speed rotation of the rotary cutting blades 130 cuts the biscuit pieces into multiple round biscuits with smooth, burr-free cut surfaces. The clearance groove 110 prevents the rotary cutting blades 130 from hitting the surface of the feeding plate 100. Finally, the lifting mechanism raises the lifting plate 120 to complete the cutting process. Therefore, this round biscuit rotary cutting machine can cut multiple round or spherical biscuits at once, with smooth cut surfaces, improving cutting efficiency and quality.

[0045] Specifically, multiple clearance grooves 110 and multiple rotary cutting blades 130 are arranged in an array. The arrangement of clearance grooves and rotary cutting blades 130 facilitates machine installation and processing, and at the same time, it can process a larger number of round cookies at one time, improving processing utilization.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment of the feeding plate 100, the feeding plate 100 is composed of multiple long strip panels 150 separated from the central axis of the clearance groove 110. The multiple long strip panels 150 have through holes at both ends and are connected by guide tubes 160. A chain 170 connects two long strip panels 150. The feeding plate 100 is divided into multiple long strip panels 150 and connected by the chain 170. These panels can be assembled before biscuit cutting to provide support during processing. After cutting, the chain 170 drives the long strip panels 150 to separate, creating an opening along the central axis of the clearance groove 110, allowing the round biscuits to fall through the opening. A feeding conveyor belt or feeding frame can be installed under the feeding plate 100 for collection. Specifically, feeding cylinders 180 are provided on both sides of the feeding plate 100 to drive the long strip panels 150 to assemble or separate. Automatic feeding is achieved by the feeding cylinders 180 driving the long strip panels 150 to assemble or separate, making control convenient.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a vertical plate 190 disposed on the rear side of the material placement plate 100 and lifting cylinders 200 disposed on both sides of the vertical plate 190. The output end of the lifting cylinders 200 is connected to the lifting plate 120. The lifting mechanism uses the vertical plate 190 to mount the lifting cylinders 200, and the lifting cylinders 200 drive the lifting plate 120 to rise and fall. The structure is reasonable and easy to control. Specifically, the vertical plate 190 has cantilever seats 210 on both sides for mounting the lifting cylinders 200. The cantilever seats 210 on the vertical plate 190 facilitate the mounting of the lifting cylinders 200 and at the same time ensure that the force between the lifting cylinders 200 and the lifting plate 120 is evenly distributed.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting plate 120 has side plates 220 on both sides, and a first top plate 230 and a second top plate 240 are sequentially mounted on the side plates 220. The first top plate 230 and the second top plate 240 are rotatably connected to the rotary cutting blades 130. Multiple rotary cutting blades 130 are located between the first top plate 230 and the lifting plate 120 and are connected by a pinion gear 250. The second top plate 240 is equipped with a rotary cutting motor 140. The output shaft of the rotary cutting motor 140 is set downward and extends to a large gear 260 located between the first top plate 230 and the lifting plate 120. The large gear 260 is connected to the pinion gear 250. The arrangement of the first top plate 230 and the second top plate 240 is conducive to the installation of the rotary cutting blades 130 and the rotary cutting motor 140. It is also conducive to the installation of the pinion gear 250 on the rotary cutting blades 130 and the large gear 260 on the rotary cutting motor 140, so that the rotary cutting motor 140 can drive the multiple rotary cutting blades 130 to rotate. In addition, the rotary cutting device includes an ejection mechanism, which includes a guide post 270 mounted on the first top plate 230, a guide sleeve 280 sleeved on the guide post 270, and a gravity plate 290 fixedly mounted on the guide sleeve 280. The bottom surface of the gravity plate 290 is provided with multiple push rods 300 (only one push rod 300 is shown in the figure for ease of observation). These push rods 300 extend into the corresponding rotary cutter 130 to eject the biscuit from the rotary cutter 130 after rotary cutting. By setting the guide sleeve 280 on the gravity plate 290 to descend along the guide post 270 under the action of gravity, the multiple push rods 300 on the bottom surface of the gravity plate 290 pass through the rotary cutter 130, holding the biscuit in place before the rotary cutter 130 rotates, pressing down on the biscuit during rotation, and ejecting the round biscuit at the end.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the rotary cutting device includes a pressing mechanism, which includes a grid pressing strip 310 located below the lifting plate 120. A rotary cutting blade 130 is positioned between the grid pressing strips 310. Pressing rods 320 are provided on both sides of the grid pressing strips 310. The bottom surface of the lifting plate 120 has mounting holes 330 that mate with the pressing rods 320. Compression springs 340 are installed within the mounting holes 330, engaging with the pressing rods 320. The pressing mechanism presses the circular biscuit tightly around the grid pressing strips 310, which helps stabilize the rotary cutting process. The compression springs 340 and pressing rods 320, when pressing the circular biscuit tightly around the grid pressing strips 310, ensure that the rotary cutting blade 130 can cut downwards from the spaces between the grid pressing strips 310.

[0050] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two rotary cutting motors 140, each driving one half of the rotary cutting blade 130 to rotate. Using two rotary cutting motors 140 reduces the load on the multiple rotary cutting blades 130, which is beneficial for the rotary cutting motors 140 to work stably for extended periods.

[0051] In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "an embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0052] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
