Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of meat cutting devices, specifically relating to a meat positioning and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Large pieces of meat usually need to be cut into smaller pieces and then delivered to canteens and other units. Due to the large inventory and demand, automated or semi-automated meat cutting equipment is usually used to cut the meat into different sizes in order to save manpower.

[0003] Currently, for frozen meat or bone-in cuts such as ribs, meat cutting machines are typically used to cut the meat into pieces. The frozen meat is placed on a conveyor belt, which then transports the meat to the cutting blades for cutting. To improve efficiency and accommodate larger pieces of meat, meat cutting machines are equipped with multiple blades that cut simultaneously.

[0004] Some meat cutters are equipped with a main rod on which multiple blades are sequentially mounted. Adjacent blades are spaced apart by spacers or similar structures, and the two ends of the main rod are locked with bolts to prevent the blades from sliding axially. With this design, when it's necessary to replace the middle blade, the main rod must be removed, and the outer blades must be removed one by one. This operation is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a meat cutting and positioning device to solve the problems of cumbersome blade replacement operation and low replacement efficiency mentioned above.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a meat positioning and cutting device, comprising a body, a conveying mechanism and a driving mechanism mounted on the body, a material discharge port on one side of the body, and a cutting blade, which includes an outer frame, a blade holder, a blade, and a baffle.

[0007] The outer frame is mounted on the drive mechanism. The cross-section of the outer frame is inverted U-shaped. The side of the outer frame near the conveying mechanism has a side plate, and the bottom of the side plate has a cutting edge.

[0008] The tool holder is detachably installed on the inside of the outer frame. The top of the tool holder has a receiving groove, and the bottom of the tool holder has a mounting groove on the side away from the side plate. The mounting groove is connected to the receiving groove.

[0009] A mounting block is fixed to the top of the blade. The mounting block is located in the receiving groove. The blade slides in the mounting groove. The top of the mounting block abuts against the outer frame.

[0010] The baffle is detachably installed on the side of the tool holder away from the side plate, and the baffle abuts against the blade and the mounting block respectively.

[0011] The principle and effects of this technical solution:

[0012] 1. The blade is mounted on the blade holder by a mounting block installed in the receiving slot, and the blade is adapted to the mounting slot. The blade and the mounting block are restricted by the outer frame and baffle, which keeps the blade in a stable position. When the blade needs maintenance or replacement, only some blades can be replaced. By disassembling and assembling the blade holder, each blade can be maintained and replaced individually without having to disassemble and assemble from the outside to the inside. Furthermore, the cutting tool can be adjusted by changing different blade holders (blade holders with different numbers of mounting slots, i.e., different spacing between blades after installation) without replacing the entire cutting tool. This results in lower maintenance costs, greater versatility, and better practical use.

[0013] 2. Frozen meat is conveyed by a conveying mechanism, and the outer frame is driven to move up and down by a drive mechanism. This causes the outer frame to move the cutting edge and blade of the side plate to cut the frozen meat into pieces, so that the cut meat pieces can fall into the discharge port.

[0014] 3. The baffle abuts against the mounting block and the blade, so that the blade can maintain a stable position while it is installed in the mounting slot and the mounting block is installed in the receiving slot, and is connected to the outer frame. By adjusting the conveying distance and frequency of the conveying mechanism and the frequency of the drive mechanism, the cutting blade can cut the meat into pieces of a specified length and width.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: a groove is provided on the inner wall of the outer frame away from the side plate, and sliders are provided on both sides of the tool holder, the sliders slide in cooperation with the groove, and the tool holder slides against the inner wall of the outer frame.

[0016] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting up the groove and the slider, the knife holder can be installed in the outer frame by sliding insertion. The cooperation between the slider and the groove allows the up and down movement of the outer frame to drive the knife holder to move synchronously, so that the knife holder can drive the blade to cut the meat.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: a screw is fixed inside the tool holder, one end of the screw passes through the side plate and is threaded with a locking nut, and the locking nut abuts against the side of the side plate away from the tool holder.

[0018] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By inserting the screw into the side plate and cooperating with the locking nut on the screw, the blade holder is installed inside the outer frame through the slider and cannot leave the outer frame, thereby ensuring the stability of the blade holder and blade when cutting meat.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that: the other end of the screw passes through the baffle and is threaded with a limit nut, the limit nut abuts against the side of the baffle away from the side plate, the baffle also abuts against the outer frame, and a connecting bolt is inserted into the baffle, the end of the connecting bolt being threaded into the outer frame.

[0020] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The baffle is inserted by a screw and the baffle is limited by a limiting nut, so that the baffle can maintain a stable position with the tool holder, that is, to stably limit the position of the mounting block and the blade.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that: a limiting bolt is inserted into the top of the outer frame, and the end of the limiting bolt extends to be threaded into the tool holder.

[0022] The principle and effect of this technical solution: The position of the tool holder relative to the outer frame is further limited by the limiting bolts, making the connection between the tool holder and the outer frame more stable.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that: the side plate has an inclined section at one end near the top of the outer frame, and the thickness of the inclined section increases from bottom to top.

[0024] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting the inclined section, the frozen meat is stacked between the blades one by one, and then stacked into the inclined section area. As the length of the inclined section area along the conveying direction decreases, the overlap width between the frozen meat and the blades will also gradually decrease, so that the frozen meat can be separated from the cutting blade.

[0025] The present invention is further configured to include a material unloading assembly, which includes a material unloading frame and a material unloading plate. The material unloading frame is installed on the machine body and its position corresponds to the material drop port. The material unloading plate is detachably installed on the material unloading frame. The side wall of the material unloading plate has multiple spaced protrusions that extend into the interior of the outer frame, and the blades are distributed alternately with the protrusions.

[0026] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting the unloading component, the protrusion extends between the blades, so that when the blade holder moves downward to cut, the unloading plate will not interfere with the cutting blade. When the cutting blade moves upward, since the height of the unloading plate remains unchanged, the frozen meat stuck between the blades will move upward with the cutting blade until it abuts against the protrusion of the unloading plate. Under the action of the abutment force, the frozen meat can slide downward relative to the blade, thereby detaching from the cutting blade. Attached Figure Description
