Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chicken neck cutting technology, specifically to a continuous chicken neck cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Chicken necks are a hot-selling item in the market and are very popular due to their delicious and unique taste, thus making them a staple on people's tables. As a result, the demand for processed chicken necks is increasing. As a part of the whole chicken, the chicken neck is removed whole during the processing of whole chickens and then cut into small pieces. This makes it easier to process and season.
[0003] Existing processing methods either involve manually cutting chicken necks into small pieces or using mechanical equipment to place the chicken necks on a conveyor belt and use a moving cutter to sever them. However, because the chicken necks are not fixed in place during the severing process, the cutter will lift some of the chicken necks up, causing them to change their relative position. This results in inconsistent cutting specifications in subsequent cutting processes, affecting product quality. Therefore, this technical solution is proposed to improve the process. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology in that the length of the cut chicken neck is not uniform during the cutting process, and to provide a continuous cutting machine for chicken neck.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a continuous chicken neck cutting machine, comprising a conveyor belt, a mounting frame for placing chicken necks on the conveyor belt, an upward-facing edge on the upper part of the mounting frame, a clamping device for clamping the chicken necks on the mounting frame, the mounting frame comprising a plurality of spaced support blocks, a cutting slit between two support blocks, and a cutter for cutting chicken necks on the conveying direction of the conveyor belt.
[0006] Furthermore, the conveyor belt is a chain conveyor, and the support frame is detachably connected to the conveyor belt.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottoms of the two support blocks are fixedly connected, and the bottom of the support blocks is configured as a zigzag shape with an internal horizontal through-hole.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping device is a mounting groove provided on the upper surface of the support block. The mounting groove is through-hole, and a snap-fit seat is provided inside the mounting groove. The snap-fit seat includes two snap-fit posts disposed opposite each other inside the mounting groove, and the middle position of the snap-fit posts is hinged to the mounting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper part of the snap-fit post is arc-shaped, the top of the snap-fit post is provided with mutually attractive magnets, the bottom of the snap-fit post is provided with a connecting belt, and the unloading side of the conveyor belt is provided with a top wheel that cooperates with the snap-fit post.
[0010] Furthermore, the cutting direction of the cutter is set on the travel path of the cutting slit.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The mounting frame is composed of multiple spaced support blocks, forming a cutting slit between the support blocks. Multiple cutters are mounted on the same rotating shaft, which drives the cutters to cut the chicken neck along these cutting slits. The upper part of the clamping post is designed to be arc-shaped, and the lower part of the clamping post extends outward. The top of the clamping post is equipped with mutually attractive magnets. When two clamping posts approach each other, the magnets attract each other, making the clamping posts clamp the chicken neck more tightly. The bottom of the clamping post is equipped with a connecting belt. When the clamping post fixes the chicken neck, the connecting belt is stretched open. When the conveyor belt transports the cut chicken neck to the unloading side, the clamping post will push the top wheel to rotate. The top wheel is equipped with four top teeth. When the conveyor belt moves forward, the top wheel rotates and the connecting belt is lifted by the top teeth, causing the upper part of the clamping post to open, thereby releasing the chicken neck and realizing automatic unloading. This achieves the fixing and automatic unloading of the chicken neck. Compared with the existing chicken neck cutting methods, this greatly ensures the stability of the chicken neck and guarantees the cutting quality. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] See Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a continuous chicken neck cutting machine, which mainly includes a conveyor belt 1, a mounting frame 2, a clamping device, and a cutter 3. The conveyor belt 1 is used to transport the chicken necks to be cut, and the mounting frame 2 is fixed on the conveyor belt 1 to support and position the chicken necks. The clamping device is used to fix the chicken necks to prevent them from moving during the cutting process. The cutter 3 is responsible for cutting the chicken necks into small pieces. The conveyor belt 1 is preferably a chain conveyor, which has a stable structure, can withstand a large load, and runs smoothly. The mounting frame 2 is fixed to the conveyor belt 1 by a detachable connection (such as bolt connection, buckle connection, etc.) to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
[0020] The mounting frame 2 consists of multiple spaced support blocks 201. The support blocks 201 have upward-protruding ribs on both sides, and a cutting slit is formed between the support blocks 201. Multiple cutters 3 are mounted on the same rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the cutters 3 to cut the chicken neck along these cutting slits, cutting a long strip of chicken neck into multiple small pieces. The bottom of the support blocks 201 is fixedly connected to form an integral structure. The bottom is designed with an internally horizontal through-hole Z-shape to increase the strength and stability of the support blocks 201. The Z-shaped structure provides space for the cutters 3 to cut, which facilitates the improvement of processing effect.
[0021] The clamping device is installed in the mounting groove that runs through the upper surface of the support block 201. Since the mounting frame 2 includes multiple support blocks 201, two of which are bolted to the conveyor belt 1, the mounting groove is set in the support blocks 201 near the two sides of the remaining support blocks 201. The mounting groove is provided with a snap-fit seat, which includes two snap-fit posts 202 arranged opposite each other inside the mounting groove. The middle position of the snap-fit post 202 is hinged to the mounting groove, so that the snap-fit post 202 can swing vertically inside the mounting groove. The upper part of the snap-fit post 202 is designed to be arc-shaped to match the shape of the chicken neck, so as to better fix the chicken neck. The lower part of the snap-fit post 202 extends out of the mounting groove. The lower part of the snap-fit post 202 extends out of the top of the snap-fit post 202 and is provided with mutually attractive magnets 204. When the two snap-fit posts 202 are close together, the magnets 204 will attract each other, so that the snap-fit post 202 clamps the chicken neck more tightly. A stop post 2 is provided near the middle position of the snap-fit post 202. 03. During use, the two locking posts 202 are in the open state. When the chicken neck is unfolded and placed inside the locking seat, the two blocking posts 203 are pressed down, causing the tops of the locking posts 202 to move relative to each other. After the two locking posts 202 attract and connect, the chicken neck is fixed inside the locking posts 202, keeping the chicken neck in an extended state and ensuring the stability of the chicken neck during cutting. At the same time, a connecting belt 205 is provided at the bottom of the locking posts 202. When the locking posts 202 fix the chicken neck, the connecting belt 205 is stretched open. When the conveyor belt 1 transports the cut chicken neck to the unloading side, the locking posts 202 will push the top wheel 4 to rotate. The top wheel 4 is provided with four top teeth. When the conveyor belt 1 moves forward, the top wheel 4 rotates and the connecting belt 205 is lifted by the top teeth, causing the upper part of the locking posts 202 to open, thereby releasing the chicken neck and realizing automatic unloading. This method of fixing and automatically unloading the chicken neck greatly ensures the stability of the chicken neck and guarantees the cutting quality compared to existing chicken neck cutting methods.
[0022] The cutter 3 is set in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, and its cutting direction is set in the travel path of the cutting seam. When the conveyor belt 1 drives the mounting frame 2 and the chicken neck to move, the cutter 3 will cut the chicken neck along the cutting seam. Since the chicken neck is fixed by the clamping device, the chicken neck is cut stably and continuously, ensuring uniform cutting specifications and improving product quality. At the same time, it is easy to operate, easy to clean and maintain, and suitable for large-scale chicken neck processing and production.
[0023] The method of use is as follows: Place the chicken neck to be cut between the support blocks 201 on the mounting frame 2, ensuring that the chicken neck is clamped by the clamping post 202; start the conveyor belt 1, the conveyor belt 1 drives the mounting frame 2 and the chicken neck to move forward. When the chicken neck moves to the position of the cutter 3, the cutter 3 cuts the chicken neck along the cutting seam. The cut chicken neck continues to move forward. When it reaches the unloading side, the top wheel 4 lifts the connecting belt 205, causing the clamping post 202 to release the chicken neck, thus achieving unloading.
