Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef ball processing technology, specifically to a beef ball skewering device for food processing. Background Technology
[0002] Skewering beef balls is a food processing method in which beef balls are threaded onto bamboo skewers for later cooking and sale. Skewering beef balls is usually done using a skewering machine.
[0003] Currently, some beef ball skewering machines use a conveyor system to transport beef balls placed in molds. However, during this process, beef balls may be missing from the molds. In such cases, a worker needs to monitor the processing and replenish the missing beef balls, which is labor-intensive. In addition, the molds in some current beef ball skewering machines are in a relatively fixed state, making it inconvenient to adjust the mold state according to the number of beef balls required for each batch, resulting in poor flexibility in use.

An adjusting plate 3 is detachably connected inside the rectangular groove. Infrared receivers are embedded in the bottom of the adjusting plate 3 and the inner wall of the storage groove 6. The two sides of the inner wall of the rectangular groove have slots. A locking plate 4 is detachably connected inside the slots and is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 3. The mold body 2 has a cavity inside. A positioning mechanism 7 is set inside the cavity. The positioning mechanism 7 cooperates with the locking plate 4 to restrict the position of the adjusting plate 3. The top and bottom of the adjusting plate 3 have grooves 5, which can accommodate bamboo skewers. The top of the conveying device body 1 is fixedly connected to the mold body 2. A vertical plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 9, and a horizontal plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 9. One side surface of the horizontal plate 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pusher mechanism 8. A slot 11 is opened on the top of the horizontal plate 10, and a rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slot 11. A feeding cylinder 13 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 12, and a gear ring 14 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the feeding cylinder 13. A fixing plate 15 is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal plate 10, and a drive mechanism 16 is installed on the surface of the fixing plate 15. An inclined section is opened on the surface of the horizontal plate 10. The trough 17 is equipped with an auxiliary mechanism 18. The top of the horizontal plate 10 is fixedly connected to a storage frame 19. The inner wall of the storage frame 19 is provided with a feeding trough 20, which can assist in feeding individual beef balls. The inner wall of the storage frame 19 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 21. The surface of the toothed ring 14 is in contact with the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 21. The arc-shaped groove 21 facilitates the normal use of the toothed ring 14. The top of the conveying device body 1 is equipped with a detection mechanism 22, and the surface of the conveying device body 1 is equipped with a controller.
[0026] The positioning mechanism 7 includes a movable plate 71, a positioning rod 72, a pull rod 73, and a compression spring 74. The surface of the movable plate 71 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The positioning rod 72 and the pull rod 73 are fixedly connected to the surfaces on both sides of the movable plate 71, respectively. The positioning rod 72 slides through the clamping plate 4, and the pull rod 73 slides through the mold body 2. The compression spring 74 is sleeved on the surface of the pull rod 73. When the operator pulls the pull rod 73, the movable plate 71 can be moved. At this time, the positioning rod 72 releases its limit on the clamping plate 4. Afterward, under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 74, the positioning rod 72 resets and can limit the clamping plate 4 again.
[0027] The drive mechanism 16 includes a servo motor 161, a drive shaft 162, and a gear disk 163. The servo motor 161 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed plate 15. The drive shaft 162 rotates through the fixed plate 15. One end of the drive shaft 162 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 161. The gear disk 163 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the drive shaft 162 and meshes with the gear ring 14. When the servo motor 161 starts, the drive shaft 162 rotates, which drives the gear disk 163 to rotate. The gear ring 14 and the gear disk 163 cooperate to drive the feeding cylinder 13 to rotate, so as to feed the beef balls.
[0028] The auxiliary mechanism 18 includes a long rod 181, a stepper motor 182, and an auxiliary plate 183. The long rod 181 rotates through the surface of the horizontal plate 10 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the inclined groove 17. The stepper motor 182 is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal plate 10. One end of the long rod 181 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 182. The auxiliary plate 183 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the long rod 181. The surface of the auxiliary plate 183 is in contact with the inner wall of the inclined groove 17. When the operator starts the stepper motor 182, the long rod 181 can be rotated. At this time, the rotation of the auxiliary plate 183 can facilitate the subsequent movement of the beef balls by the mold body 2. When it is necessary to replenish the beef balls, the setting of the auxiliary plate 183 can facilitate the control of the falling of the beef balls.
[0029] The detection mechanism 22 includes a base 221, a top plate 222, and an infrared transmitter 223. The base 221 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveying device body 1, the top plate 222 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 221, and the infrared transmitter 223 is embedded in the bottom of the top plate 222. Both the infrared transmitter 223 and the infrared receiver are electrically connected to the controller. When the infrared receiver and the infrared transmitter 223 are used together, the controller starts and drives the corresponding servo motor 161 to rotate, so as to drive the feeding cylinder 13 to rotate and feed the beef balls.
[0030] Working principle: When the beef balls are placed inside the adjusting plate 3 and the storage slot 6, the conveying device 1 is activated and can transport the beef balls through the mold body 2. When the beef balls move through the mold body 2 to one side of the skewer pushing mechanism 8, the skewer pushing mechanism 8 can pass bamboo skewers through the beef balls for skewering. During this process, when the mold body 2 moves the beef balls to below the infrared transmitter 223, if there is a gap in the corresponding adjusting plate 3 or storage slot 6, the infrared transmitter 223 cooperates with the infrared receiver, and the controller can activate the long rod 181 and the corresponding servo motor 161, and the auxiliary plate 183 is adjusted to... Figure 6In the state shown, the servo motor 161 drives the corresponding drive shaft 162 to rotate, and the gear disk 163 and the gear ring 14 cooperate to drive the feeding cylinder 13 to rotate. The rotation of the feeding cylinder 13 can drive the beef balls inside the feeding trough 20 to be fed out, so that the beef balls can fall into the corresponding adjustment plate 3 or the storage trough 6 under the limit of the auxiliary plate 183. After that, the pushing mechanism 8 can skewer the beef balls.
[0031] The staff can adjust the state of the adjustment plate 3 according to the needs of skewering. When the number of beef balls needs to be reduced, the staff can pull the lever 73 and take out the adjustment plate 3 through the clamping plate 4. After that, the staff can flip the adjustment plate 3 and use the positioning mechanism 7 and the clamping plate 4 to limit the adjustment plate 3 again, thereby increasing the flexibility of the equipment when in use.
