Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food cutting machine technology, and more specifically, to a food cutting machine drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Animal food refers to processed finished products supplied to animals, such as cat food, dog food, and bird food. The production process of animal food is relatively complex, requiring multiple steps including screening, mixing, sterilization, and filling, some of which require high-tech facilities and technologies. A food cutter is a mechanical device used to cut food ingredients into desired shapes and sizes. Depending on the type of cutting, food cutters can be categorized as leafy vegetable cutters, bulb vegetable cutters, etc., and further subdivided into shredders, slicers, dicers, strip cutters, mincers, and cube cutters. The structure of a food cutter mainly includes a frame, conveyor belt, pressing belt, slicing mechanism, and speed control box or roller speed control mechanism. Its working principle involves controlling the thickness and length of the cut using blades and adjustment devices, making it suitable for ingredients of different hardness and shapes.
[0003] When cutting food, the food conveyed by the conveyor belt carries moisture, which causes some food to adhere to the blades during cutting, affecting the continuity of the cut. To address this, we have proposed a drying device for a food cutting machine. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a food cutting and drying device.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Two rotating rollers are rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the conveyor frame, and a conveyor steel belt is driven between the two rollers. Multiple through holes are opened on the outer side of the conveyor steel belt. A first motor is fixedly installed on the side of the conveyor frame. The output shaft of the first motor is connected to one end of a rotating roller shaft. A drying mechanism is provided in the inner cavity of the conveyor frame. A water receiving box is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the conveyor frame and inside the conveyor steel belt. Multiple rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the water receiving box. Multiple push rods are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the multiple rotating shafts. Multiple second motors are fixedly installed on the side of the conveyor frame. The output shafts of the second motors are connected to the ends of the rotating shafts. A food cutting device is provided at the top of one end of the conveyor frame.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the air drying mechanism includes a heating box fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the conveyor frame.
