Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biscuit production technology, and in particular to a cookie slicing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the production and processing of cookies, long strips of cookie dough need to be made first, then sliced and sent to bake. The slicing step can be done by existing cookie slicing machines. However, when slicing cookie dough, the cookie dough contains moisture, so the slices stick to the cutter, causing compression problems for subsequent slices and affecting subsequent production. Moreover, the cutter exerts a squeezing force on the cookie dough during slicing, causing deformation and resulting in cookie slices that do not meet the design and are not compatible with increasingly stringent production requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention aims to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a cookie slicer.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cookie slicing machine, including a worktable, a spiral extruder at one end of the top of the worktable, a feed inlet at one end of the top of the spiral extruder, a horizontally oriented funnel-shaped extrusion port on the side of the spiral extruder away from the feed inlet, a forming mold detachably installed at the opening of the extrusion port, side plates on the front and rear edges of the top of the worktable, support plates located inside the side plates on the front and rear edges of the top of the worktable, a first belt conveyor and a second belt conveyor respectively installed between the opposite surfaces of the two support plates, the feed end of the first belt conveyor being located close to the bottom of the forming mold, the feed end of the second belt conveyor being located close to the bottom of the discharge end of the first belt conveyor, an inverted U-shaped mounting bracket slidingly installed on the side plates, a cylinder on the front and rear sides of the top of the mounting bracket, a wire knife mounting sleeve fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod of the cylinder, and a wire knife detachably installed between the two wire knife mounting sleeves.

The sliding sleeve is slidably mounted on the slide, and a first clamping bolt is threadedly connected to the outer side of the sliding sleeve.
[0007] Specifically, the end of the wire cutter is provided with a connecting block that matches the wire cutter mounting sleeve. The connecting block is inserted into the wire cutter mounting sleeve, and a second clamping bolt is threaded onto the outside of the wire cutter mounting sleeve.
[0008] Specifically, the discharge end belt of the first belt conveyor is equipped with two corresponding rotating rollers, one above the other, which guide the discharge end belt of the first belt conveyor to a vertical position.
[0009] Specifically, an anti-clogging stirring rod is rotatably connected inside the feed inlet, and a motor that drives the anti-clogging stirring rod to rotate is provided outside the feed inlet.

[0015] The following will describe in detail the embodiments of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0017] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a cookie slicing machine includes a worktable 1, a screw extruder 2 at one end of the top of the worktable 1, a feed inlet 3 at one end of the top of the screw extruder 2, an anti-clogging stirring rod rotatably connected inside the feed inlet 3, and a motor for driving the anti-clogging stirring rod to rotate on the outside of the feed inlet 3. A horizontally lying funnel-shaped extrusion port 4 is provided on the side of the screw extruder 2 away from the feed inlet 3. A forming mold 5 is detachably installed at the opening of the extrusion port 4. The contact surfaces of the forming mold 5 and the extrusion port 4 are provided with flanges and are fixed by bolting the flanges. The matching forming mold 5 can be replaced according to the shape of the cookie to be processed.
[0018] The workbench 1 has side plates 6 on its front and rear edges at the top. Support plates 7 are located within the side plates 6 on the front and rear edges of the top of the workbench 1. A first belt conveyor 8 and a second belt conveyor 9 are installed between the opposite faces of the two support plates 7. The feed end of the first belt conveyor 8 is located close to the bottom of the forming mold 5, and the feed end of the second belt conveyor 9 is located close to the bottom of the discharge end of the first belt conveyor 8. The discharge end belt of the first belt conveyor 8 has two corresponding rotating rollers 19 inside, which guide the discharge end belt of the first belt conveyor 8 to a vertical position. The first belt conveyor 8 and the second belt conveyor 9 are positioned vertically. The biscuit strips are sliced at the discharge end of the first belt conveyor 8, and the sliced biscuits fall directly onto the second belt conveyor 9. The vertical position of the discharge end belt of the first belt conveyor 8 allows the biscuit slices to quickly detach from the first belt conveyor 8 after cutting, reducing the risk of accumulation and blockage at the discharge end. This is particularly suitable for materials with strong viscosity or prone to clumping.
[0019] A U-shaped mounting bracket 10 is slidably mounted on both side plates 6. A sliding table 14 is provided on the top of the outer side of the side plate 6. A sliding sleeve 15 matching the sliding table 14 is provided at the bottom of the vertical plate of the mounting bracket 9. The sliding sleeve 15 is slidably mounted on the sliding table 14, and a first clamping bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the sliding sleeve 15. Cylinders 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the top of the mounting bracket 10. A wire knife mounting sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod of the cylinder 11. A wire knife 13 can be detachably installed between the two wire knife mounting sleeves 12. A connecting block 17 matching the wire knife mounting sleeve 12 is provided at the end of the wire knife 13. The connecting block 17 is inserted into the wire knife mounting sleeve 12, and a second clamping bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the wire knife mounting sleeve 12. The mounting bracket 10 is slidable and can be adjusted to cut cookie slices of different thicknesses as needed. The wire cutter 13 is easy to install, remove, clean, and replace. When cutting, the wire cutter 13, due to its small cutting area and uniform cutting force distribution, effectively reduces cookie adhesion. Compared to traditional blade cutting, cookie slices cut with wire do not stick to the cutting tool, and the cut surface is smoother, without causing significant compression or deformation of the cookie. This cutting method ensures the integrity and consistency of the slices. Furthermore, cookie slices cut with the wire cutter 13 are easier to separate and do not remain in their original shape because the wire does not exert lateral pressure on the cookie like a blade, thus preventing the cookie slices from sticking together.
[0020] In operation, the biscuit blank is placed into the feed inlet 3, then extruded through the screw extruder 2 and shaped by the forming mold 5. The biscuit strip moves on the first belt conveyor 8. When it reaches the discharge end, the cylinder 11 drives the wire cutter 13 to move down and cut the biscuit strip. The biscuit pieces fall onto the second belt conveyor 9 and are transported to the next process. The position of the mounting bracket 10 is adjusted according to the thickness of the slices, and the forming mold 5 is changed according to the shape of the biscuit. The wire cutter 13 needs to be cleaned, the second clamping bolt 18 loosened, and the connecting block 17 removed. This invention effectively solves the adhesion problem, improves the cutting quality, and makes the cut biscuit pieces easier to separate, making it convenient to use.
