Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic flipping feeding mechanism and its high-speed meat cutter, belonging to the field of meat processing machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing demands of people for quality of life, the meat processing industry is gradually developing and expanding, leading to a growing need for meat processing machinery. Among these machines, the meat slicer is a crucial piece of equipment.

[0003] A meat slicer is a machine that cuts meat into specified sizes and shapes. The most common type of meat slicer is the vertical meat slicer, which can directly cut and slice beef slices, rolls, etc., even at temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius. Most vertical meat slicers use a reciprocating pusher feeding method. After the beef slices are cut, the reciprocating pusher mechanism will retract, and then the operator will put in the beef slices again for the next feeding and slicing process. There is a relatively long period of time when the cutting is stopped during feeding, which affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic flipping feeding mechanism and its high-speed meat cutter, which solves the problem that the current pushing mechanism cannot achieve continuous feeding and has low efficiency.

[0005] This utility model relates to an automatic flipping and feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding platform, at least one meat cutting channel on the feeding platform, a reciprocating pushing mechanism in the meat cutting channel, a flipping platform on the feeding platform, a meat dispensing channel corresponding to each meat cutting channel on the flipping platform, and an automatic flipping drive mechanism connected to the flipping platform to flip and feed the meat pieces in the meat dispensing channel into the meat cutting channel.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, the reciprocating feeding mechanism includes a feeder disposed within the meat cutting channel. A feeder plate is fixed to the rear end of the feeder, and the feeder plate is connected to a feeding drive mechanism that drives it to move along the length of the meat cutting channel. The feeding drive mechanism drives the feeder plate to reciprocate, thereby causing multiple feeders in the meat cutting channels to simultaneously complete feeding.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the front end of the tilting platform is hinged to the feeding platform. The automatic tilting drive mechanism includes a push rod hinged to the rear end of the tilting platform. The lower end of the push rod is hinged to a guide slide rod that slides along the length of the meat cutting channel. The front end of the guide slide rod contacts the rear end of the pusher plate. When the pusher plate retracts, it can move the guide slide rod backward, thereby driving the push rod to push the tilting platform upward to tilt and complete the tilting and feeding action. This eliminates the need for a separate tilting drive power component, saving costs and ensuring smoother operation.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the feeding drive mechanism includes a feeding screw rotatably mounted on both sides of the feeding platform. The feeding screw is connected to a feeding nut fixed to the feeding plate. The feeding nut is slidably connected to a guide rod, which is fixed on the feeding platform. The feeding screw is connected to a drive device, resulting in a simple and practical structure.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the drive unit includes a drive sprocket fixedly mounted on the feed screw. The drive sprocket is connected to a driven sprocket via a chain. A driven shaft is fixedly mounted on the driven sprocket and rotatably mounted on the feed platform. A second driven sprocket is fixedly connected to the driven shaft, and a third driven sprocket is connected to a drive sprocket via a chain. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive sprocket. A position sensor, higher than the top of the meat cutting channel, is fixedly mounted at the front end of the feed platform. The position sensor is connected to a controller, which in turn is connected to the drive motor. The position sensor detects the position of the meat pieces. When the position sensor fails to detect any meat pieces, it sends a signal to the controller, which then controls the drive motor to retract, thus resuming feeding.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a guide sleeve is fitted on the outer side of the guide slide rod, and the guide sleeve is fixed to the feeding platform to facilitate the guidance of the guide slide rod and keep it moving in the horizontal direction. A limiting post is fixed to the feeding platform at the lower rear end of the tilting platform. When the pusher plate pushes the material forward, it loses the limiting of the guide slide rod, and the tilting platform will tilt downward under the action of gravity. When the tilting platform touches the limiting post, it limits the position of the tilting platform.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the top of the feeding platform is fixed with multiple meat inlet baffles, and the meat cutting channel is between adjacent meat inlet baffles. The top of the flipping platform is fixed with multiple meat outlet baffles, and the meat outlet channel is between adjacent meat outlet baffles, which facilitates the arrangement of the meat cutting channel and the meat outlet channel.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the front side wall of the meat cutting channel is provided with an installation groove, and a clamping plate is fixed in the installation groove. The front end of the clamping plate is provided with an elastic pressing edge that bends toward the middle of the meat cutting channel. When the meat head is short, it can clamp the meat head and prevent the meat head from sliding down directly, thus achieving precise cutting and leaving less meat head.

[0013] This utility model also relates to a high-speed meat slicer, including a meat slicer frame, a meat slicer mechanism on the meat slicer frame, and the aforementioned automatic flipping feeding mechanism, which is located next to the meat slicer mechanism and whose feeding platform is fixed on the meat slicer frame.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the meat cutting mechanism includes a cutting blade mechanism and a meat cutting drive mechanism that drives the cutting blade mechanism to reciprocate up and down. The cutting blade mechanism includes a blade holder with a wear-resistant sleeve, and a meat cutting blade mounted on the blade holder. A guide slide fixed to the meat cutting frame is located inside the wear-resistant sleeve. The meat cutting drive mechanism includes a meat cutting motor fixed to the meat cutting frame. A drive shaft connected to the meat cutting motor is rotatably mounted on the meat cutting frame. A turntable is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable, and the lower end of the connecting rod is hinged to the wear-resistant sleeve. A meat pressing block is located above the front end of each meat cutting channel. A downward pressing beam is connected to the top of the meat pressing block. Guide sleeves are fixed to both ends of the downward pressing beam, and guide rods are located inside the guide sleeves and fixed to the meat cutting frame. A downward pressing nut is fixed to the middle of the downward pressing beam, and a downward pressing screw is connected to the downward pressing screw. A downward pressing motor is fixed to the top of the downward pressing screw and is fixed to the meat cutting frame. This achieves high-speed meat cutting.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] By setting a meat cutting channel on the feeding platform, and also setting up a flipping platform on the feeding platform, with a meat dispensing channel on the flipping platform, meat pieces can be placed in the meat dispensing channel for later use when the previous batch of meat pieces is being cut. After the previous batch of meat pieces is cut, the reciprocating pushing mechanism retracts, and the meat pieces in the meat dispensing channel are flipped and fed into the meat cutting channel by the flipping platform, which facilitates automatic and quick feeding and improves production efficiency.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0028] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model is an automatic flipping and feeding mechanism. The automatic flipping and feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding platform 107, which is provided with at least one meat cutting channel. A reciprocating pushing mechanism is provided in the meat cutting channel. The feeding platform 107 is also provided with a flipping platform 106, which is provided with a meat dispensing channel corresponding to each meat cutting channel. The flipping platform 106 is connected to an automatic flipping drive mechanism that pushes the flipping platform 106 to flip and feed the meat pieces in the meat dispensing channel into the meat cutting channel.

[0029] In use, the reciprocating pusher mechanism pushes the previous batch of meat pieces in the cutting channel from back to front for feeding. During this time period, the next batch of meat pieces to be cut can be placed in the meat discharge channel of the flipping platform 106. After the previous batch of meat pieces is cut, the reciprocating pusher mechanism moves backward, and then the automatic flipping drive mechanism drives the flipping platform 106 to flip, feeding the meat pieces in the meat discharge channel into the cutting channel. Then the reciprocating pusher mechanism continues to push the next batch of meat pieces for feeding, and the automatic flipping drive mechanism resets the flipping platform 106 to continue placing the next batch of meat pieces.

[0030] Example 2, based on Example 1, includes a reciprocating feeding mechanism including a feeder 111 disposed in the meat cutting channel, a feeder plate 110 fixed at the rear end of the feeder 111, and a feeding drive mechanism connected to the feeder plate 110 to drive it to move along the length direction of the meat cutting channel.

[0031] The front end of the flipping platform 106 is hinged to the feeding platform 107. The automatic flipping drive mechanism includes a push rod 104 hinged to the rear end of the flipping platform 106. The lower end of the push rod 104 is hinged to a guide slide rod 109 that slides along the length of the meat cutting channel. The front end of the guide slide rod 109 contacts the rear end of the push plate 110.

[0032] The feeding drive mechanism includes a feeding screw 116 rotatably mounted on both sides of the feeding platform 107. The feeding screw 116 is connected to a feeding nut 112 fixed to the feeding plate 110. The feeding nut 112 is slidably connected to a guide rod 117, which is fixed on the feeding platform 107. The feeding screw 116 is connected to a drive device.

[0033] The drive unit includes a drive sprocket 114 fixedly mounted on the feed screw 116. The drive sprocket 114 is connected to a driven sprocket 1 via a chain. The driven sprocket 1 is fixedly mounted on a driven shaft, which is rotatably mounted on the feed platform 107. The driven shaft is fixedly connected to a driven sprocket 115, which is connected to a drive sprocket via a chain. The drive sprocket is fixedly connected to a drive motor 113. A position sensor 8, higher than the top of the meat cutting channel, is fixedly mounted at the front end of the feed platform 107. The position sensor 8 is connected to a controller, which is connected to the drive motor 113. The controller is a PLC controller.

[0034] The outer side of the guide slide rod 109 is fitted with a guide slide sleeve 105, which is fixed on the feeding platform 107. The rear end of the tilting platform 106 is provided with a limiting post 108 fixed on the feeding platform 107.

[0035] Multiple meat inlet baffles 101 are fixed to the top of the feeding platform 107, and the meat cutting channel is between adjacent meat inlet baffles 101. Multiple meat outlet baffles 102 are fixed to the top of the flipping platform 106, and the meat outlet channel is between adjacent meat outlet baffles 102. The top of the meat block will be higher than the top of the meat inlet baffle 101 and higher than the top of the pusher 111. An anti-detachment baffle 103 is fixed to the rear end of the meat outlet baffle 102.

[0036] The front side wall of the meat cutting channel is provided with an installation groove 118, and a clamping plate 119 is fixed in the installation groove 118. The front end of the clamping plate 119 is provided with an elastic pressing edge 120 that bends toward the middle of the meat cutting channel.

[0037] During operation, the drive motor 113 rotates forward, driving the feed screw 116 to rotate via the drive sprocket, chain two, driven sprocket two 115, driven sprocket one, and drive sprocket 114. This causes the feed nut 112 to slide forward along the guide rod 117. At this time, the pusher plate 110, along with the pusher 111, pushes the meat head in the cutting channel forward. As the pusher plate 110 moves forward, it breaks free from the constraint of the guide slide rod 109, and the tilting platform 106 tilts downward under its own gravity until the bottom of the tilting platform 106 contacts the limit post 108. Then, a batch of meat pieces to be cut can be placed in the meat discharge channel. When the position sensor 8 does not detect any meat pieces, it transmits a signal to the controller, which then controls the... The drive motor 113 reverses, thereby bringing the pusher plate 110 and pusher 111 back to their original positions. The retraction of the pusher plate 110 pushes the guide slide rod 109 to extend backward, and then pushes the flipping platform 106 upward through the push rod 104, thereby feeding the meat pieces in the meat feeding channel into the meat cutting channel. At this time, when the position sensor 8 detects the meat pieces, it sends a signal to the controller. The controller controls the drive motor 113 to rotate forward to push and feed again. The next batch of meat pieces will push the remaining meat head of the previous batch of meat pieces forward. Since the meat cutting channel is equipped with a clamping plate 119, even if there is little meat head left, it can be clamped, and the meat head will not slide directly to the front of the meat cutting blade 9, causing large meat heads to not be sliced.

[0038] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model also relates to a high-speed meat slicer, including a meat slicer frame 2, on which a meat slicer mechanism is provided, and an automatic tilting feeding mechanism 1 as described in Embodiment 1 or 2. The automatic tilting feeding mechanism 1 is located next to the meat slicer mechanism, and its feeding platform 107 is fixed on the meat slicer frame 2. A discharge platform 3 is provided on the side of the meat slicer frame 2 facing away from the meat slicer mechanism and the automatic tilting feeding mechanism 1.

[0039] The meat cutting mechanism includes a cutting blade mechanism and a meat cutting drive mechanism that drives the cutting blade mechanism to reciprocate up and down. The cutting blade mechanism includes a blade holder with a wear-resistant sleeve 11 installed on it. A meat cutting blade 9 is mounted on the blade holder. A guide slide 12 fixed to the meat cutting machine frame 2 is provided inside the wear-resistant sleeve 11. The meat cutting drive mechanism includes a meat cutting motor 5 fixed to the meat cutting machine frame 2. A drive shaft 14 connected to the meat cutting motor 5 is rotatably mounted on the meat cutting machine frame 2. A turntable 15 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 14. The outer edge of the turntable 15... A connecting rod 13 is rotatably connected to the cutting channel. The lower end of the connecting rod 13 is hinged to the wear-resistant sleeve 11. A pressing block 7 is provided above the front end of each cutting channel. A pressing crossbeam 6 is connected to the top of the pressing block 7. Guide sleeves are fixed at both ends of the pressing crossbeam 6. A guide rod 10 is provided inside the guide sleeve. The guide rod 10 is fixed on the cutting machine frame 2. A pressing nut is fixed in the middle of the pressing crossbeam 6. The pressing nut is connected to a pressing screw 4. A pressing motor 16 is fixed at the top of the pressing screw 4. The pressing motor 16 is fixed on the cutting machine frame 2.

[0040] In use, the automatic flipping feeding mechanism 1 feeds meat chunks, and at the same time, the meat cutting motor 5 starts, driving the turntable 15 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the wear-resistant sleeve 11 and the blade holder and meat cutting blade 9 on it to move up and down repeatedly via the connecting rod 13, thus completing the meat cutting. During the meat cutting process, the pressing motor 16 starts, driving the pressing screw 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the pressing beam 6 and the pressing block 7 installed on it to press down the top of the meat chunks.
