Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown: The overall structure of the automatic meat cutting machine for fresh meat processing is as follows: The core structure includes three main parts: the cutting machine body 1, the meat segmentation frame 2, and the meat scrap anti-splash component 3. Each component works together to achieve efficient cutting of fresh meat and scrap management.
[0030] Structure and function of the dicing machine body 1: The frame 11 is the main supporting structure of the entire equipment. An electric motor 111 and a drive motor 12 are fixed at the bottom of its inner cavity, and two symmetrical crossbeams are welded to the top. Two rotating shafts 14 are mounted on the crossbeams via bearing seats. Five to seven synchronous pulleys 15 are fixed on each rotating shaft 14. The front and rear synchronous pulleys 15 are connected by a synchronous belt 16, with a uniform gap between the synchronous belts 16. The rear rotating shaft 14 is driven by a servo motor 13, which is fixed to the rear top of the frame 11.
[0031] A rotating column 19 is mounted on the middle of the crossbeam via a bearing seat. Multiple saw blades 18 are fixed to the outer ring of the rotating column 19, and the saw blades 18 are evenly distributed in the gap of the synchronous belt 16. The rotating column 19 is connected to the motor 111 via a sprocket and chain, and is driven to rotate by the motor 111.
[0032] The transmission system consists of a drive shaft 110, a rotating rod 115, a rotating roller 112, and a conveyor belt 114. The drive shaft 110 and the rotating rod 115 drive the output shaft of the motor 12 through gear meshing, which in turn drives the outer ring gear of the rotating rod 115 to rotate the conveyor belt 114. L-shaped baffles 113 are provided on both sides of the frame 11, and an arc-shaped plate 17 is fixed at the top of the baffle. The outer surface of the arc-shaped plate 17 is designed with an arc surface to guide the scrap generated during cutting to the conveyor belt 114 for recycling.
[0033] Cutting control of the meat segmentation frame 2: The meat segmentation frame 2 is fixed to both sides of the machine frame 11 by the support frame 26. Two hydraulic push rods 24 are installed on the top frame 21, and their telescopic ends are connected to the cutting blades 23. The hydraulic push rods 24 are fixed to the front side of the top frame 21 by the support rods 22. The cutting edge of the cutting blade 23 is at a 70°-80° angle to the horizontal plane. Inclined cutting can reduce resistance and improve the flatness of the cut.
[0034] The inner cavity of the top frame 21 is equipped with several arc-shaped guide strips 25, with their front ends spaced 3-8 cm from the upper surface of the timing belt 16 and their rear ends curving upwards. The arc-shaped guide strips 25 are made of elastic materials such as rubber, which can adaptively adjust the pressure when fresh meat passes through, avoiding jamming.
[0035] Meat scrap anti-splatter assembly 3: The meat scrap anti-splatter assembly 3 includes a square frame 31, a magnet 32, and a wire mesh 33. The square frame 31 has a groove at its bottom to embed the magnet 32, and is magnetically fixed to the upper surface of the top frame 21, covering the cutting area. The wire mesh 33 is fixed inside the square frame 31, intercepting splashed meat scraps and allowing the operator to observe the cutting process.
[0036] Equipment Workflow: Fresh meat is placed on synchronous belt 16, and servo motor 13 drives synchronous belt 16 to move in steps. Rotating column 19 drives saw blade 18 to rotate at high speed, slicing the fresh meat longitudinally. Scrap meat is guided by arc plate 17 to conveyor belt 114 for recycling. When the fresh meat moves below arc guide bar 25, hydraulic push rod 24 drives cutting blade 23 to press down, transversely cutting the fresh meat into regular meat blocks. The inclined design of cutting blade 23 reduces cutting resistance, and elastic guide bar 25 ensures stable passage of fresh meat. Meat scraps splashed during cutting are blocked by wire mesh 33 and collected by a detachable square frame 31 using magnet 32 for centralized cleaning.
[0037] The following is a detailed explanation using several embodiments;
[0038] Example 1: Fresh meat cutting machine with modular cutting and intelligent control:
[0039] This embodiment optimizes the replaceability and automated control of the cutting module, making it suitable for processing meat pieces of different sizes. The modular cutting assembly features structural improvements:
[0040] Detachable saw blade assembly: The rotating column 19 adopts a segmented design, with each segment fixed to an independent saw blade 18 by bolts, supporting quick replacement of saw blades of different thicknesses (such as 3mm, 5mm, 8mm) to meet slicing needs.
[0041] Multi-angle cutting blade: The cutting blade 23 is connected to the hydraulic push rod 24 via a snap-fit structure, providing a variety of blade options with different cutting angles (70°, 75°, 80°) to adjust the cutting angle according to the hardness of the meat.
[0042] Intelligent sensor: An infrared sensor is installed at the entrance of the synchronous belt 16 to detect the thickness of the meat block and feed it back to the PLC controller, which automatically adjusts the stepping speed of the servo motor 13 and the rotation speed of the saw blade 18.
[0043] Splash protection component design: Retractable wire mesh cover: The square frame 31 has an embedded slide rail, and the wire mesh 33 can be pulled out or retracted laterally to adapt to the coverage needs of different cutting areas.
[0044] Spray cleaning system: A nozzle 34 is added to the top of the square frame 31 and connected to an external water pipe. After cutting, the wire mesh 33 and saw blade 18 are automatically sprayed and cleaned to reduce meat scrap residue.
[0045] Workflow and Intelligent Control: The target size of the meat block (e.g., length × width × thickness) is input via a touchscreen. The PLC automatically calculates the saw blade spacing, synchronous belt stepping distance, and cutting blade pressing frequency. Infrared sensors monitor the shape of the meat block in real time. If irregular parts (such as fascia) are detected, the PLC controls the hydraulic push rod 24 to pause pressing, and the operation continues after the synchronous belt 16 adjusts the position of the meat block. After cutting is completed, the spray system is activated, and water flows to wash the wire mesh 33 and saw blade 18. Wastewater is filtered through the filter screen at the end of the conveyor belt 114 to recover meat scraps.
[0046] Example 2: Energy-saving design of a high-throughput fresh meat cutting machine:
[0047] This embodiment is designed for the needs of large-scale meat processing plants, optimizing the transmission efficiency and energy consumption control of the equipment to achieve continuous mass production.
[0048] The synchronous belt 16 adopts a double-layer structure. The upper layer is a high-friction rubber belt for conveying fresh meat, and the lower layer is a metal mesh belt for support to prevent deformation. The two sets of synchronous belts 16 are arranged in parallel and driven by independent servo motors 13 to achieve dual-line synchronous cutting.
[0049] The electric motor 111 and drive motor 12 are replaced with variable frequency motors, which automatically adjust the power according to the load and reduce power consumption when no load is applied.
[0050] A heat dissipation pipe is installed inside the frame 11 to direct the heat generated by the motor to the area below the conveyor belt 114, which is used to dry the surface moisture and reduce the sticking of meat pieces.
[0051] Reinforced design of segmented frame: Multi-stage hydraulic cutting: The top frame 21 is equipped with four hydraulic push rods 24, which are divided into front and rear groups. The front group of blades 23 completes the coarse cutting (strips the meat), and the rear group of blades completes the fine cutting (slices), improving efficiency.
[0052] The curved guide bar 25 is made of spring steel and covered with a food-grade silicone layer, which ensures both elasticity and extended service life, and can withstand high-frequency compression of more than 30 times per minute.
[0053] Meat scrap recycling and reuse system: negative pressure collection device: a negative pressure suction port 116 is added to the end of the conveyor belt 114 and connected to the meat scrap collection tank. The meat scraps produced by cutting are transported into the tank by airflow for subsequent processing of meat mince products.
[0054] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
