[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automated device capable of sorting ham slices of different thicknesses includes a slicing mechanism 1 for slicing meat products. The slicing mechanism 1 includes a first drive motor 11, a metal blade 12, a slicing support housing 14, and a blade cover 13. The first drive motor 11 is provided at one end of the slicing support housing 14. The metal blade 12 is connected to the end of the shaft of the first drive motor 11. The shaft of the first drive motor 11 and the axis of the metal blade 12 are not on the same straight line. The blade cover 13 is provided to cover the outside of the metal blade 12.

[0024] When the shaft of the first drive motor 11 is working, it can drive the metal blade 12 to rotate. The metal blade 12 is in an eccentric rotation process. When it rotates to the top, the metal blade 12 cannot cut, and at this time the blade cover 13 can cover the entire metal blade 12 and cause it to scrape against the outside. During the rotation of the metal blade 12, it can gradually cut a whole piece of ham into slices. Therefore, the rotation speed of the shaft of the first drive motor 11 determines the thickness of the slices.

[0025] The first conveying mechanism 2 at the discharge end of the slicing mechanism 1. The first conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveying support frame 21, a first roller 22, a first conveyor belt 23, and a second drive motor 24. The first roller 22 is provided at both ends of the first conveying support frame 21. The first conveyor belt 23 is connected to the surface of the first roller 22. The width of the first conveyor belt 23 is the same as the width of the first roller 22. The second drive motor 24 is provided on one side of the first conveying support frame 21. The shaft of the second drive motor 24 is connected to at least one first roller 22.

[0026] When the shaft of the second drive motor 24 rotates, it drives each first roller 22 to rotate, and the first roller 22 drives the first conveyor belt 23 to move during rotation. The first conveyor belt 23 is used to transport ham slices that fall from the end of the slicing support housing 14. Since the width of the first conveyor belt 23 is the same as the width of the first roller 22, these ham slices will not fly into other areas when they fall.

[0027] In this embodiment, a second conveying mechanism 3 and a third conveying mechanism 4 are provided on one side of the first conveying mechanism 2. The second conveying mechanism 3 is equipped with a pressure sensor 5 that can detect the weight of the meat slices. The angle of the third conveying mechanism 4 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the meat slices.

[0028] The second conveying mechanism 3 includes a second conveying electrical cabinet 31, a second conveying support frame 32, a second conveying support plate 33, a second conveying roller 34, a third drive motor 36, and a second conveyor belt 35. The surface of the second conveying electrical cabinet 31 extends upwards with several second conveying support frames 32. A second conveying support plate 33 is positioned between the two second conveying support frames 32 on both sides. Second conveying rollers 34 are positioned at both ends of the second conveying support plate 33. Several second conveyor belts 35 are positioned on the surface of the second conveying roller 34. A third drive motor 36 is positioned on one side of the second conveying support plate 33, and the shaft of the third drive motor 36 is connected to at least one second conveying roller 34. The surface of the second conveying roller 34 has several first limiting grooves 341. The width of each second conveyor belt 35 is adapted to the interior of the first limiting groove 341, and each second conveyor belt 35 is connected to the interior of the first limiting groove 341. The surface of the second conveying support plate 33 has several oblong through holes. Pressure sensors 5 are disposed inside the oblong through holes, and the surface of the pressure sensors 5 is attached to the bottom of the second conveyor belts 35.

[0029] The first conveyor belt 23 can transport ham slices to the surface of several second conveyor belts 35. Because there are many second conveyor belts 35, and their surfaces are smooth and easy to clean, they effectively prevent contamination of the ham slices during transport, avoiding bacterial growth and cross-contamination.

[0030] When the shaft of the third drive motor 36 rotates, it drives one of the second conveyor rollers 34 to rotate. This second conveyor roller 34 then drives the other second conveyor roller 34 to rotate via the first limiting groove 341, thus causing the entire second conveyor belt 35 to rotate. During rotation, when the ham slices conveyed by the first conveyor belt 23 move to the surface of the pressure sensor 5, the pressure sensor 5 can weigh the ham slices, thereby controlling whether the subsequent third conveying mechanism 4 performs a folding process.

[0031] The third conveying mechanism 4 includes a third conveying electrical cabinet 41, a fourth drive motor 42, a third conveying support plate 43, a third conveying roller shaft 44, a fourth conveying support plate 45, a fourth conveying roller shaft 46, and a third conveyor belt 47. The third conveying electrical cabinet 41 houses the fourth drive motor 42. The end of the shaft of the fourth drive motor 42 is connected to the third conveying support plate 43. The third conveying support plate 43 rotates with the rotation of the shaft of the fourth drive motor 42. One end of the third conveying support plate 43 is connected to the third conveying roller shaft 44, and the other end of the third conveying support plate 43 is adjustablely provided with the fourth conveying support plate 45. The fourth conveying support plate 45 houses the fourth conveying roller shaft 46. The surfaces of the third conveying roller shaft 44 and the fourth conveying roller shaft 46 are provided with a plurality of third conveyor belts 47. The third conveying roller shaft 44 is connected to the third drive motor 36 via gears. The surfaces of the third conveying roller 44 and the fourth conveying roller 46 are provided with a plurality of second limiting grooves 471, the width of each third conveyor belt 47 is adapted to the interior of the second limiting groove 471, and each third conveyor belt 47 is connected to the interior of the second limiting groove 471.

[0032] By adjusting the distance between the fourth conveyor support plate 45 and the third conveyor support plate 43, some of the third conveyor belts 47 can be tightened or loosened. When the shaft of the third drive motor 36 rotates, it also simultaneously drives the third conveyor roller shaft 44 to rotate. The third conveyor roller shaft 44 drives another third conveyor roller shaft 44 to rotate via the second limiting groove 471, thus allowing the third conveyor belts 47 to convey the ham slices on the surface. The third conveyor roller shaft 44 rotates relative to the third conveyor support plate 43; therefore, the rotation of the third conveyor support plate 43 will not cause the entire third conveyor support plate 43 to change its angle.

[0033] When the angles of the fourth conveyor support plate 45 and the third conveyor support plate 43 need to be changed, the shaft of the fourth drive motor 42 starts to rotate, rotating at different angles according to the weight of the ham slices. During the rotation of the fourth drive motor 42, the angles of the fourth conveyor support plate 45 and the third conveyor support plate 43 can be adjusted simultaneously, thereby accurately completing the sorting operation.

[0034] Working principle and usage of this utility model:

[0035] First, when the shaft of the first drive motor 11 is working, it drives the metal blade 12 to rotate. The speed of the shaft of the first drive motor 11 determines the thickness of the slice. Next, when the shaft of the second drive motor 24 rotates, it drives each first roller 22 to rotate. During the rotation of the first roller 22, it drives the first conveyor belt 23 to move. The first conveyor belt 23 is used to transport the ham slices that fall from the end of the slice support housing 14.

[0036] When the shaft of the third drive motor 36 rotates, it drives one of the second conveyor rollers 34 to rotate. This second conveyor roller 34 then drives the other second conveyor roller 34 to rotate via the first limiting groove 341, thus causing the entire second conveyor belt 35 to rotate. During rotation, when the ham slices conveyed by the first conveyor belt 23 move to the surface of the pressure sensor 5, the pressure sensor 5 can weigh the ham slices, thereby controlling whether the subsequent third conveying mechanism 4 performs a folding process.

[0037] The shaft of the fourth drive motor 42 begins to rotate, changing angles according to the weight of the ham slices. During rotation, the fourth drive motor 42 can simultaneously adjust the angles of the fourth conveyor support plate 45 and the third conveyor support plate 43, thereby accurately completing the sorting operation.

[0038] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
