AI Technical Summary
In existing meat grinders, the meat chunks are difficult to feed into the inlet from the feed tray, resulting in low grinding efficiency.
An inclined feeding ramp and pusher structure were designed. The pusher pushes the meat pieces onto the feeding ramp and uses gravity to make the meat pieces slide down to the meat inlet. Combined with the cylinder-driven pusher plate, the meat pieces are pushed in an orderly manner, avoiding the meat pieces being squeezed on the surface of the feeding plate.
It improves the efficiency of meat chunks entering the meat grinder, reduces the accumulation of meat chunks at the top of the meat grinder, and enhances the working efficiency of the meat grinder.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a feeding device for a meat grinder, including a base plate 1, with support legs 11 at the four corners of the bottom of the base plate 1. A meat grinder 4 is placed on the right side of the top of the base plate 1, and a worktable 2 is provided on the left side of the base plate 1 corresponding to the meat grinder 4. The worktable 2 is connected to the top of the base plate 1 by a shim 21. The worktable 2 includes a feeding ramp 22 on the right side, which slopes downward to the right. The top of the worktable 2 has a left-right movable feeding part, which includes a pusher 54. The pusher 54 can push the meat on the top of the worktable 2 onto the feeding ramp 22. A receiving section is located on the right side of the meat grinder 4. The receiving section includes a receiving box 6, which includes a receiving cavity 61. The receiving cavity 61 can hold meat pieces. The top of the receiving box 6, facing the side of the meat grinder 4, has a receiving plate 62 pointing to the upper left. The inclined feeding ramp 22 facilitates the pouring of meat pieces into the meat grinder 4. When the meat grinder 4 is working at full capacity, the receiving box 6 on the right side of the meat grinder 4 can make the meat pieces sliding down from the feeding ramp 22 fall into the receiving cavity 61, reducing the accumulation of meat pieces on the top of the meat grinder 4. The pusher 54 can effectively push the meat pieces on the top of the worktable 2 onto the feeding ramp 22.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, the pusher 54 includes two spaced-apart toothed plates 57, which are connected together by a connecting plate 541. A toothed plate 52 is located on the right side of the connecting plate 541. The engagement of the toothed plates 57 and 52 facilitates the pushing of meat pieces on the workbench 2. A through hole is provided on the toothed plate 57 corresponding to the right side of the connecting plate 541. The feeding section also includes a pusher 53, with a through hole 55 on its front side. A rotating column 55 can pass through the holes 51 and 52. Two annular grooves are provided on the outer diameter of the rotating column 55, and a retaining spring 56 can be coupled into these grooves. The retaining spring 56 can fit against the toothed plates 57, thus restricting the pusher 54. The relative position of toothed plate 57 and toothed plate 52 is such that toothed plate 57 can rotate around the axis of rotating column 55, and the bottom of toothed plate 57 and toothed plate 52 can fit against the feed ramp 22. A cylinder 5 is provided on the left side of push plate 53. Cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the top of worktable 2. Cylinder 5 includes output rod 51, which is fixedly connected to push plate 53. A connecting plate 71 is provided on the bottom side of cylinder 5 away from output rod 51. A connecting block is provided on the left side of bottom plate 1. A connecting plate 72 is fixed on the left side of connecting block. Connecting plate 71 and connecting plate 72 are connected by connecting plate 73. Cylinder 5 can drive push plate 53 to move, thereby achieving the effect of push shovel 54 pushing meat block.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 5In this embodiment, a separating cutting board 3 is provided on the top of the workbench 2, corresponding to the front side of the pusher 54. A separating knife 31 can be placed on the separating cutting board 3. The separating knife 31 can push the cut meat pieces to the right side of the pusher 54. The separating cutting board 3 facilitates the operator's cutting of meat. The cut meat pieces can be pushed by the separating knife 31 onto the movement path of the pusher 54. The meat grinder 4 includes a meat inlet 41 and a meat mince outlet 42. The feeding ramp 22 is located above the meat inlet 41. The meat inlet 41 is mapped onto the feed ramp 54. The feed ramp 22 is provided with a through clearance 222. The meat mince outlet 42 is located on the rear side of the bottom plate 1 and extends outward. The clearance 222 facilitates the meat pieces to fall into the meat inlet 41. A meat mince collection box can be placed below the meat mince outlet 42 for easy collection of meat mince. Guardrails 221 are provided on the front and rear sides of the feed ramp 22. The guardrails 221 can block the meat pieces that slide down from the feed ramp 22 and limit the meat pieces so that the meat pieces can roll from the feed ramp 22 into the meat inlet 41.
[0025] During operation, meat processing plant workers use a separating cutting board 3 to cut large blocks of meat into smaller pieces. Workers then use a separating knife 31 to push the meat pieces above the path of a pusher 54. A cylinder 5 drives the pusher 54 in a rhythmic motion. When the worker pushes the meat pieces, the cylinder 5 needs to be in a retracted position. When the output rod 51 extends along with the pusher plate 53, toothed plates 57 and 52 scoop up the meat pieces and push them onto the feed ramp 22, where gravity causes the meat pieces to slide down. Upon reaching the avoidance position 222, the pusher 54 quickly pushes the meat block to move. When passing the feeding ramp 22, the pusher 54 rotates around the axis of the rotating column 55 at a certain angle, so that the pusher 54 fits against the surface of the feeding ramp 22 and continues to push the meat block a certain distance to improve the efficiency of the meat block falling into the meat inlet 41. When the meat inlet 41 is filled, the meat block will be pushed to the edge of the meat inlet 41 away from the cylinder 5 and fall. At this time, the receiving plate 62 receives the meat block that is about to fall, so that the meat block falls into the receiving cavity 61 of the receiving box 6.
[0026] Through the above steps, the inclined feed ramp 22 facilitates the pouring of meat chunks into the meat grinder 4. The receiving box 6 on the right side of the meat grinder 4 allows meat chunks sliding down from the feed ramp 22 to fall into the receiving cavity 61 when the meat grinder 4 is working at full load, reducing the accumulation of meat chunks on the top of the meat grinder 4. The pusher 54 can effectively push the meat chunks on the top of the worktable 2 onto the feed ramp 22, thus solving the problem in the prior art where meat chunks are not easy to enter the feed inlet in the feed pan, and most meat chunks can only be squeezed back and forth by the pusher on the surface of the feed pan, resulting in low meat grinding efficiency.
