[0014] The first conveying unit and the second conveying unit are both provided with fences on both sides in the conveying direction, so as to avoid accidental falling of the squid strips during transportation.

[0015] The squid strip fixed-weight cutting production equipment further comprises a feeding rack arranged on the front side of the metering mechanism, the feeding rack is provided with a discharge port capable of communicating with the feeding end of the first conveying unit, and the discharge port is arranged to be inclined, so as to facilitate the operator to feed the slitting line.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment, a fourth conveying belt is further arranged between the discharge port and the first conveying unit, so as to provide a buffering and shaping area for the squid strips before entering the metering mechanism, and ensure that the squid strips can smoothly enter the metering mechanism.

[0017] Further preferably, the support frame is further provided with a cleaning unit capable of cleaning and disinfecting the slitting line, so that the whole can be cleaned and disinfected through the cleaning unit after the slitting of the batch of squid strips is completed, bacteria caused by residual residues are avoided, and the cleanliness of the whole equipment is ensured for next use.

[0032] Example

[0033] Combination Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a squid strip fixed weight cutting production equipment, including a support frame 1 and a cutting line on its upper side. The support frame 1 includes a support platform 11, the cutting line is disposed on the support platform 11, and a shell 12 is provided on the upper part of the support frame 1 to prevent dust or debris from falling into the cutting line.

[0034] The slitting line includes a measuring mechanism 2 and a cutting mechanism 3 arranged sequentially from front to back.

[0035] In this embodiment, the measuring mechanism 2 includes a first conveying unit 21 and a weighing unit 22 below it. The first conveying unit 21 is also provided with a first length counting unit 23 on its upper side, which can detect the length of the squid strip.

[0036] Preferably, see Figure 4 The first conveying unit 21 includes a first conveyor belt 211, and the weighing unit 22 includes electronic scales respectively disposed at the bottom of both ends of the first conveyor belt 211. Distributing the two electronic scales symmetrically at both ends of the first conveyor belt 211 not only improves weighing accuracy but also ensures the stability of the first conveyor belt 211.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a second conveying unit 31 that is connected to the end of the first conveying unit 21, and a second length counting unit 32 and a cutting unit 33 are sequentially arranged on it along its transport direction.

[0038] See Figure 3 , Figure 5 The second conveying unit 31 includes a second conveyor belt 311 and a third conveyor belt 312 arranged sequentially; the second length counting unit 32 is located on the upper side of the second conveyor belt 311; the cutting unit 33 includes a pad 333 located between the second conveyor belt 311 and the third conveyor belt 312, and a cutting blade 332 is provided on the upper side of the pad 333. When cutting the squid strips, the cutting blade 332 does not directly act on the conveyor belt, but directly contacts the pad 333, avoiding damage to the conveyor belt. Furthermore, the second length counting unit 32 is located in front of the cutting unit 33, enabling timely acquisition of the squid strip length information.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the cutting unit 33 further includes a fixing plate 331 disposed on one side of the second conveying unit 31. A slider 334 is vertically slidable on the side of the fixing plate 331 facing the second conveying unit 31. A vertical slide rail is provided between the slider 334 and the fixing plate 331. The slide rail provides guidance for the slider 334 and prevents it from wobbling when moving up and down. A clamp is provided on the opposite side of the slider 334 and the pad 333 to fix the cutting blade 332, ensuring the stability of the cutting blade 332. The cutting unit 33 also includes a driving mechanism 335 installed on the side of the fixing plate 331 away from the second conveying unit 31 and capable of driving the slider 334 to slide.

[0040] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 To prevent residual squid strips from affecting subsequent operations after cutting, the cutting mechanism 3 further includes a slag blowing unit 34. The slag blowing unit 34 includes an air blowing pipe 341 located on one side of the second conveyor belt 311 and in front of the cutting blade 332. The air blowing pipe 341 is configured to blow air to the other side of the second conveyor belt 311, and a baffle 342 is provided on the side of the second conveyor belt 311 opposite to the air blowing pipe 341. A slag discharge port is provided on the support platform 11 corresponding to the position of the slag blowing unit 34, and a waste bin 343 is located below the slag discharge port. After the squid strips are cut to a fixed weight, the fixed-weight squid strips continue to be transported with the third conveyor belt 312, while the remaining residue and fragments are blown off by the air blowing pipe 341 and fall into the waste bin 343. The baffle 342, located opposite the air outlet of the air blowing pipe 341, prevents the residue from being blown to other areas, ensuring that it falls smoothly into the waste bin 343 through the slag discharge port.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, both the first length counting unit 23 and the second length counting unit 32 use laser beam sensors, which have the characteristics of fewer restrictions on the detected object, high accuracy, and fast response time.

[0042] The first conveying unit 21 and the second conveying unit 31 are equipped with guardrails on both sides along their conveying direction to prevent the squid strips from falling off accidentally during transportation.

[0043] Furthermore, multiple slitting lines are arranged in parallel. This improves production efficiency, enabling the production of more squid strips that meet the weight requirements per unit time.

[0044] See Figure 3 The squid strip fixed weight cutting production equipment also includes a feeding rack 4 located in front of the metering mechanism 2. The feeding rack 4 is provided with a discharge port that can communicate with the feeding end of the first conveying unit 21, and the discharge port is inclined to facilitate the operator to feed the cutting line.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, a fourth conveyor belt is provided between the discharge port and the first conveying unit 21 to provide a buffer area for the squid strips before they enter the metering mechanism 2, ensuring that the squid strips can smoothly enter the metering mechanism 2.

[0046] More preferably, the support frame 1 is also provided with a cleaning unit 5 that can clean and disinfect the slitting line. After the batch of squid strips is slitting, the whole thing can be cleaned and disinfected by the cleaning unit 5 to avoid the residue from generating bacteria and to ensure the cleanliness of the whole equipment for the next use.

[0047] In specific implementation, the cleaning unit 5 includes water inlets 51 located on both sides of the support platform 11. A water collection tank is located below the support platform 11, and the water collection tank is connected to the water inlets 51 via a water pipe. When the slitting line is rinsed with water, residue or dust on the surface of the support platform 11 will flow with the water through the water inlets 51 and collect into the water collection tank, facilitating the collection and disposal of wastewater. Inside the outer casing 12, above the support platform 11, a disinfection lamp and a fan 52 are also provided. After rinsing the slitting line, the disinfection lamp and fan 52 are turned on to further disinfect and ventilate the area.

[0048] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 Preferably, the front of the outer casing 12 is provided with an openable door. Opening the door facilitates feeding into the slitting line, while closing the door ensures the equipment (the aforementioned squid strip weight-cutting production equipment) remains clean and tidy when idle, reducing dust. The rear of the outer casing 12 is provided with an opening, and the discharge end of the third conveyor belt 312 extends out of the opening for easy connection to a collection box to collect the slit, weighted squid strips.

[0049] A maintenance door is provided on the outer casing 12 at the position corresponding to the cutting unit 33, facilitating the replacement or maintenance of the cutting blade 332 by maintenance personnel to ensure its cutting effect. A safety unit 6 is provided on the support frame 1, including a photoelectric sensor 61 located on one side of the support platform 11, below the maintenance door. When maintenance personnel perform maintenance on the cutting blade 332, the grating beam of the photoelectric sensor 61 is blocked, triggering a signal and automatically stopping the equipment to ensure the safety of the maintenance personnel. A blade replacement button is also provided on one side of the support platform 11 to control the tightness of the clamps, facilitating the replacement of the cutting blade 332.

[0050] The squid strip weight cutting production equipment is also equipped with an emergency stop button 62 to increase safety.

[0051] The squid strip weighing and cutting production equipment also includes a control module. This control module is communicatively connected to the measuring mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3, and can receive information transmitted by the measuring mechanism 2 and control the operation of the cutting mechanism 3. The control module includes an operation panel 7 located on one side of the support frame 1 for easy operation.

[0052] Workflow: The squid strips are placed on the feed rack 4 at one end of the slitting line. The squid strips first enter the fourth conveyor belt through the discharge port, and then pass through the metering mechanism 2 to measure their weight and length. The metering mechanism 2 transmits the acquired data to the control module. Subsequently, the squid strips enter the cutting mechanism 3. The control module determines the appropriate cutting position based on the received weight information, length information, and a pre-set fixed weight standard (e.g., 10 grams). Combined with the information transmitted by the second length measuring unit 32, when the cutting position of the squid strip reaches the pad block 333, the control module controls the cutting unit 33 to cut the squid strip according to the fixed weight. The cut squid strips continue to be conveyed to the discharge end for collection and packaging, while the cut residue or excess parts are collected in the waste bin 343.

[0053] This utility model of squid strip weighing and cutting production equipment, through the cooperation of the measuring mechanism 2 and the cutting mechanism 3, can control the weight error of each squid strip within a very small range, effectively ensuring the weight requirements of the product, improving the consistency and stability of product quality, and meeting the market demand for standardized products. It realizes an automated production process from weighing to cutting, greatly reducing reliance on manual operation, lowering labor costs, and also reducing product quality fluctuations caused by human factors. The continuous automated operation of the equipment significantly improves production speed compared to manual cutting methods, enabling the production of more squid strips meeting the weight requirements per unit time, which helps to expand production scale and improve efficiency.
