AI Technical Summary
The existing lamb chops are flattened after freezing, resulting in poor appearance, which affects subsequent sealing, packaging and cutting, and leads to a low rate of good quality cuts.
The mold assembly includes a shaping mold and a shovel. The shaping mold has an arc-shaped template and equally spaced semi-circular teeth, while the shovel has a shovel head and a shovel handle. It is used to shape and remove frozen lamb chops, ensuring that the ribs are evenly spaced and the shape is intact.
Frozen lamb chops are shaped into an arc, which makes them easier to seal and package, increases the yield of cut products, and ensures the integrity of the lamb chops' shape.

Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mutton processing, and in particular relates to a mold component for mutton chop production. Background technology:
[0002] Lamb chops are the meat from the ribs of a lamb, attached to the ribs and covered with thin membranes. They are a good mix of lean and fat, with a tender texture. They are suitable for grilling, roasting, braising, and making fillings.
[0003] With rapid societal development, traditional lamb chops have evolved into French lamb chops, similar to French steaks, also known as chaff cutters. In the current processing of French lamb chops, whole lamb chops are first frozen, then removed and cut at equal intervals along the ribs. Each rib connects to a single piece of meat, which is then individually sealed. However, during freezing, the whole lamb chops are placed on a flat tray, resulting in a flattened shape and poor appearance after freezing. This makes subsequent sealing and packaging difficult. Furthermore, thermal expansion and contraction cause the ribs to shift, hindering quick and easy individual cutting and increasing the risk of damage, thus reducing the yield of perfectly cut lamb chops. Summary of the Invention:
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold component for lamb chop production, and to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, which effectively solves the existing problem of poor appearance of frozen and shaped lamb chops.
[0005] The present invention relates to a mold assembly for producing lamb chops, comprising a shaping mold and a shovel. The shaping mold includes a template, one end of which is arc-shaped. Several teeth are vertically installed on the top wall of the other end of the template, and the teeth are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the template.
[0006] Furthermore, the tip of the tooth is semi-circular.
[0007] Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent teeth is greater than 20mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the shovel includes a shovel head, on which a shovel handle is vertically mounted on the outer side wall.
[0009] Furthermore, a chamfer is provided at the outer edge of the inner sidewall of the shovel head.
[0010] Furthermore, the template, the toothed jaws, and the shovel head are all made of stainless steel.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by placing the lamb chops on the template, the frozen lamb chops are shaped into an arc, resulting in a better frozen appearance, which is beneficial for subsequent sealing and packaging. It also facilitates the complete cutting of individual lamb chops, thereby improving the yield of high-quality cut lamb chops. Attached image description:

[0016] In the picture, 1 is the template, 2 is the toothed tool, 3 is the shovel head, 4 is the shovel handle, and 5 is the lamb chop. Detailed implementation method:
[0017] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a mold assembly for producing lamb chops includes a shaping mold and a shovel. The shaping mold includes a template 1, one end of which is arc-shaped. Several teeth 2 are vertically installed on the top wall of the other end of the template 1. The teeth 2 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the template 1. The top of each tooth 2 is semi-circular. The distance between two adjacent teeth 2 is greater than 20mm. The shovel includes a shovel head 3. A shovel handle 4 is vertically installed on the outer side wall of the shovel head 3. A chamfer is formed at the outer edge of the inner side wall of the shovel head 3. The template 1, the teeth 2, and the shovel head 3 are all made of stainless steel.
[0019] Specifically, by placing the lamb chop 5 on the template 1, the frozen lamb chop 5 becomes more aesthetically pleasing.
[0020] In actual use, the whole lamb chop with 5 pieces of meat is first placed in the arc-shaped position of the template 1. Then, several ribs from the whole lamb chop 5 are sequentially placed into the slots formed by two adjacent clips 2, so that the spacing between the ribs after freezing is equal. At the same time, the lumps of lamb meat connected to one end of the ribs are also frozen into arc shapes, thereby improving the frozen appearance of the French lamb chop. Since the frozen lamb chop is not easy to remove from the template 1, the inner wall of the spatula 3 is inserted into the gap between the ribs and the template 1, and the spatula 3 is knocked up. This neatly removes the lamb chop 5 from the template 1. After removing the frozen lamb chop 5, it is neatly cut along the gap between the two ribs. After sealing and packaging, it finally forms a single French lamb chop with a better appearance. The top of the clip 2 is semi-circular, which helps the ribs to quickly embed into the slots formed by the two clips 2, and also prevents the sharp edges of the clip 2 from cutting the hands of the staff.
[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
