Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a hopper track-zoned processing device for manufacturing pork jerky. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pork jerky processing equipment mostly uses a fixed platform design for the hopper track structure, which is insufficient for zoned processing. When processing different sizes of pork jerky, traditional equipment often requires replacing the entire platform or adding auxiliary positioning devices because the width of the feeding area is not adjustable, resulting in long production line downtime and low adjustment efficiency. Especially when dealing with the production of large-sized pork jerky, the fixed track is prone to causing raw material accumulation or uneven spreading, affecting the subsequent forming quality. Although some improved equipment attempts to achieve spatial adjustment through multi-segment platforms, it suffers from complex structure and poor synchronization. Its transmission mechanism often needs to drive both sides of the platform separately, which not only increases the size of the equipment and energy consumption, but also makes it difficult to guarantee adjustment accuracy, thus limiting the equipment's multi-size processing capacity. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a hopper track partitioning processing device for pork jerky manufacturing, which solves the problems of poor adaptability and low adjustment efficiency in processing multi-specification pork jerky due to the non-adjustable width of the existing hopper track.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 8 This embodiment provides a hopper track-based partitioned processing device for manufacturing pork jerky, including a platform assembly, a conveying assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The platform assembly includes a support 11, a lower platform 12, a first upper platform 13, a second upper platform 14, and a hopper 15. The upper surface of the support 11 has a groove 1101. The lower platform 12 is connected above the support 11 and has a through groove 1201. The bottom of the hopper 15 has a support leg 1501, which is connected to the lower platform 12 via the support leg 1501 and is located in the middle of the lower platform 12. The first upper platform 13 is slidably connected between the lower platform 12 and the hopper 15 and has a clearance hole 1301 to accommodate the passage of the support leg 1501. The second upper platform 14 is slidably connected between the lower platform 12 and the hopper 15 and has a clearance hole 1301 to accommodate the passage of the support leg 1501. The support leg 1501 passes through the clearance hole 1301. The first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through groove 1201 of the lower platform 12. The material conveying assembly includes a sprocket 21, a chain 22 and a pusher plate 23. The sprocket 21 is mounted on the bracket 11, the chain 22 is mounted on the sprocket 21, the pusher plate 23 is L-shaped and connected to the chain 22. The chain 22 is located in the groove 1101 of the bracket 11, and the top of the pusher plate 23 is located above the groove 1101 of the lower platform 12. The adjustment assembly includes a gear 31, a first rack 32 and a second rack 33. The gear 31 is rotatably connected to the bracket 11. The first rack 32 is connected to the bottom of the first upper platform 13 and the second rack 33 is connected to the bottom of the second upper platform 14. The first rack 32 and the second rack 33 mesh with the gear 31 respectively.

[0040] In this embodiment, the support 11 is a metal frame structure with a longitudinal groove 1101 on its upper surface for supporting the operation of the platform assembly and the conveying assembly. The lower platform 12 is fixedly connected above the support 11 and has a through groove 1201 in the middle to provide a moving channel for the pusher plate 23. The hopper 15 is fixed to the edge of the through groove 1201 in the middle of the lower platform 12 by the support leg 1501 and is used to temporarily store the meat jerky 40. The first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 are both rectangular sliding plates with clearance holes 1301, which are symmetrically slidably installed between the lower platform 12 and the hopper 15. The clearance holes 1301 reserve space for the movement of the support leg 1501. The distance between the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 when they slide forms an expandable feeding track partition. The L-shaped pusher plate 23 of the conveying assembly is fixed to the surface of the chain 22 and uses the L-shaped structure to push the meat jerky 40. The rack and pinion of the adjustment component mesh with the gear 31 to form a two-way linkage mechanism. When the gear 31 is rotated, the two racks move in opposite directions, driving the two upper platforms to move synchronously and symmetrically, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the track width.

[0041] During operation, meat jerky 40 is taken out from hopper 15 and placed on the surface of lower platform 12. Pusher plate 23 moves along chain 22, pushing meat jerky 40 to move within the concave track formed by lower platform 12 and first upper platform 13 and second upper platform 14, and enter the next process. When processing large-sized meat jerky 40, gear 31 is rotated to move the two upper platforms outward, expanding the effective working area of ​​lower platform 12, and ensuring that large-sized meat jerky 40 can also move in the track in the correct posture.

[0042] This embodiment utilizes a linkage mechanism involving gear 31 and double-sided racks to achieve synchronous and symmetrical movement of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 during sliding. This precisely adjusts the distance between the two platforms, forming an expandable feeding track partition to accommodate the processing needs of meat jerky 40 of different sizes. The L-shaped pusher plate 23 is driven by a chain 22 to run stably along the groove 1101 of the support 11. Its horizontal section extends above the groove 1101 of the lower platform 12, ensuring uniform force distribution when pushing the meat jerky 40 and preventing deviation or accumulation. The hopper 15 is fixed to the middle of the lower platform 12 by support legs 1501. Combined with the design of the upper platform clearance hole 1301, interference between the support legs 1501 and the sliding platform is avoided when adjusting the track width. The through groove 1201 of the lower platform 12 is aligned with the moving path of the pusher plate 23, ensuring smooth passage of the meat jerky 40 to the next process. The entire equipment achieves rapid adjustment of the track width through mechanical linkage, improving processing adaptability. At the same time, the symmetrical sliding structure ensures uniform distribution of the meat jerky 40, improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pusher plate 23 includes a horizontal plate 2301 and a vertical plate 2302. The horizontal plate 2301 has an opening at the upper left end, and the right end of the horizontal plate 2301 is hinged to the side of the chain 22. The chain 22 is provided with a limiting block 2201, which is adapted to the opening of the horizontal plate 2301. The bottom of the vertical plate 2302 is rotatably connected to the right end of the horizontal plate 2301.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the chain 22 drives the pusher plate 23 to move, the limiting block 2201 on the chain 22 is embedded in the opening at the left end of the horizontal plate 2301. The locking action of the limiting block 2201 and the opening forms a horizontal constraint on the horizontal plate 2301, effectively preventing the right end of the horizontal plate 2301 from tilting up due to uneven force or the inertia of the chain 22 during the pushing process. The bottom of the vertical plate 2302 is rotatably connected to the right end of the horizontal plate 2301, so that the vertical plate 2302 can rotate flexibly with the running trajectory of the chain 22. At the same time, the fixing effect of the limiting block 2201 on the horizontal plate 2301 ensures the stability of the pushing direction of the vertical plate 2302, and avoids the meat jerky 40 from shifting or piling up.

[0045] The limiting structure in this embodiment achieves a self-locking function during the movement of the pusher plate 23 through mechanical cooperation, which improves the connection reliability between the pusher plate 23 and the chain 22, reduces the equipment failure rate, and ensures the continuity and uniformity of the meat jerky 40 conveying process.

[0046] In some embodiments, the horizontal plate 2301 is provided with a first locking block and a second locking block, and the vertical plate 2302 is provided with a first buckle and a second buckle. The first locking block and the first buckle are adapted to each other, and the second locking block and the second buckle are adapted to each other.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the spacing of the meat jerky 40 needs to be adjusted, the vertical plate 2302 of the pusher plate 23 that needs to push material is erected according to the required spacing, and the vertical plate 2302 of the pusher plate 23 that does not need to push material is rotated around the hinge point until it overlaps with the horizontal plate 2301. At this time, the first buckle on the vertical plate 2302 is precisely engaged with the first locking block of the horizontal plate 2301, and the second buckle and the second locking block are locked synchronously. The double engagement structure forms a multi-point fixation of the vertical plate 2302, preventing the vertical plate 2302 from shaking or accidentally unfolding due to gravity or vibration. When the vertical plate 2302 and the horizontal plate 2301 are in the overlapping state, the pusher plate 23 is in the retracted state and does not participate in pushing material, so the spacing of the meat jerky 40 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the spacing requirements of meat jerky 40 of different lengths. The engagement structure adopts a mechanical adaptation method, which can achieve self-locking without additional operation, ensuring that the vertical plate 2302 remains stable after being folded, reducing the risk of component wear, and extending the service life of the equipment. This embodiment achieves adjustable spacing of 40mm between meat jerky pieces through modular folding, while also ensuring structural reliability and improving the convenience of equipment maintenance.

[0048] In some embodiments, the limiting block 2201 on the chain 22 is a roller, which is rotatably connected to the chain 22.

[0049] In this embodiment, the limiting block 2201 on the chain 22 adopts a roller structure. The roller is installed on the chain 22 by a rotating connection. When the chain 22 drives the pusher plate 23 to move along the track, rolling friction is formed between the roller and the opening of the horizontal plate 2301 or the track contact surface. Compared with the sliding friction of the traditional limiting block 2201, the running resistance and contact surface wear are significantly reduced. The adaptive rotation characteristics of the roller can compensate for the small deviation of the running trajectory of the chain 22, avoid the limiting block 2201 and the opening of the horizontal plate 2301 from getting stuck or deformed due to hard collision, and improve the smoothness of the pusher plate 23 movement. The rolling contact method reduces the friction noise between metal parts, extends the service life of the chain 22, the limiting block 2201 and the horizontal plate 2301, reduces the equipment maintenance frequency, and at the same time ensures the continuity and stability of the meat jerky 40 pushing process, ensuring the efficiency of the production line.

[0050] In some embodiments, the lower platform 12 is provided with positioning holes, and the support legs 1501 of the hopper 15 are detachably connected to the positioning holes.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the support leg 1501 is embedded in the positioning hole, the lateral displacement is restricted by the hole wall, ensuring that the vertical positioning of the hopper 15 is accurate during installation and avoiding offset and tilting; when disassembling, the support leg 1501 can be quickly removed from the positioning hole, which is convenient for the hopper 15 to be maintained or replaced separately, reducing equipment downtime; the connection method does not require complex fasteners, reducing assembly difficulty, while maintaining the stability of the hopper 15 in the working state, avoiding the risk of loosening caused by vibration, and improving the reliability of equipment operation.

[0052] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly further includes an adjustment motor 34, which is mounted on the bracket 11 and is connected to the gear 31 via a transmission.

[0053] In this embodiment, the adjustment motor 34 is fixed on the bracket 11, and the power is stably transmitted to the adjustment mechanism through the gear 31 to realize the automatic adjustment function. The direct drive of the motor reduces manual intervention and improves adjustment efficiency and accuracy. The gear 31 transmission structure enhances the controllability of power output, avoids adjustment deviation caused by external force interference, and ensures the stability of equipment operation. The modular design simplifies the adjustment process, reduces the complexity of operation, and extends the service life of the adjustment components.

[0054] In some embodiments, the platform assembly further includes a first slide 16, which is mounted on the bracket 11 and is adapted to the side of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first slide 16 forms a guide path through its contact with the sidewalls of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14, constraining the lateral displacement of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 and achieving precise positioning. The first slide 16 guides the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14 to adjust along a preset direction, avoiding deviation or tilting and ensuring controllable movement trajectory. The fixed connection between the first slide 16 and the bracket 11 enhances the overall stability of the platform assembly, reduces shaking caused by vibration or external force interference, and ensures the smoothness and reliability of the adjustment process.

[0056] In some embodiments, the platform component further includes a second slide 17, which is mounted on the bracket 11 and is adapted to the rack.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second slide groove 17 and the rack form a guide path, restricting the linear movement of the rack along the direction of the second slide groove 17, thereby accurately guiding the adjustment direction of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14; the second slide groove 17 forms a limiting constraint on the lateral displacement of the rack, avoiding the offset or angular deviation of the first upper platform 13 and the second upper platform 14, and ensuring that the adjustment trajectory is stable and controllable; the fixed connection between the second slide groove 17 and the bracket 11 enhances the overall structural stability of the platform assembly, reduces the shaking caused by external forces or vibrations during the adjustment process, and ensures the reliability and consistency of the coordinated adjustment.

[0058] In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly further includes an adjustment handle 35, which is connected to the gear 31 in a transmission manner.

[0059] In this embodiment, the adjustment handle 35 is connected to the gear 31 via a transmission. By manually rotating the adjustment handle 35, the gear 31 is driven to rotate, thus achieving power transmission. The cooperation between the gear 31 and the adjustment handle 35 forms a stable transmission path, restricting the movement trajectory of the gear 31 and preventing deviation in the adjustment direction. The adjustment handle 35 acts directly on the gear 31, simplifying the operation process and improving the convenience of adjustment. The transmission structure of the gear 31 enhances the overall stability of the adjustment assembly, reduces transmission errors caused by external force interference, and ensures the reliability and accuracy of the manual adjustment process.

An L-shaped pusher plate 23 is driven by a chain 22 to run stably along the groove 1101 of the support 11. The hinged design of its horizontal plate 2301 and vertical plate 2302, combined with the engaging structure of the limiting block 2201, ensures uniform force distribution during the pushing process, preventing the pork jerky 40 from shifting or piling up. The spacing of the meat jerky 40 is adjustable through folding; the legs 1501 of the hopper 15 are embedded in the positioning holes of the lower platform 12 to achieve vertical positioning, and combined with the design of the clearance holes 1301 on the upper platform, interference with the sliding platform is avoided during track adjustment, ensuring smooth adjustment; the first slide groove 16 and the second slide groove 17 respectively constrain the side of the upper platform and the movement trajectory of the rack, forming a double guide limit mechanism to ensure that the adjustment direction of the platform is precise and controllable; the adjustment motor 34 or the adjustment handle 35 is connected to the gear 31 to realize automatic or manual adjustment functions, improving the convenience of operation and adjustment accuracy; the chain 22 limit block 2201 adopts a roller structure, which reduces running resistance and component wear through rolling friction, extending the service life of the equipment.
