Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread slicing, and in particular to a toast bread slicing machine. Background Technology
[0002] In small and medium-sized bakeries or stores, toast bread slicing is often done using simple slicers. These machines typically consist of a fixed blade, a manual pusher, and a simple clamping mechanism, and have the following significant drawbacks:
[0003] Existing equipment mostly uses a single-blade structure, which can only cut one slice of bread at a time. Repeated pushing and pulling operations are required to cut the entire loaf of bread, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of continuous production. Operators also need to manually adjust the position of the bread to match the next cutting point, which can easily lead to uneven slice thickness due to positioning errors, affecting product consistency. Based on these issues, we propose a bread slicer. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the technical problem of low slicing efficiency, this utility model provides a toast bread slicing machine.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a toast bread slicing machine, including a slicing mechanism and a toast bread clamping mechanism, wherein the slicing mechanism includes a support frame, a rotating screw passing through the inner side of the support frame, a handle connected to the top of the rotating screw, a transverse block threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating screw, a connecting frame fixedly connected above the transverse block, an electric push rod movably mounted on the inner side of the connecting frame, an output end of the electric push rod connected to a mounting plate, the bottom end of the mounting plate being hinged to the inner bottom of the connecting frame via a rotating shaft, and multiple equidistantly arranged slicing blades fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting plate.
[0006] Rotating the handle drives the screw to rotate, which in turn moves the transverse block along the screw's axis. The transverse block is linked to a multi-component cutter via a connecting frame, causing the cutters to move synchronously. Adjusting the cutters to different positions allows for cutting toast bread of varying lengths.
[0007] After adjustment, activate the electric push rod. Its output end pushes the mounting plate to rotate downwards around the rotating axis, causing multiple slicing blades to simultaneously cut into the toast bread. During the cutting process, the contact angle between the blades and the bread remains constant, reducing crumb formation.
[0008] Reset and Cycle: After cutting, the electric push rod retracts, and the mounting plate lifts the slitting blade to reset. The operator only needs to replace the bread and repeat the above steps to achieve continuous slitting.
[0009] The toast holding mechanism includes a mounting bracket, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to a base frame, which is fixedly mounted on top of a support frame.
[0010] The mounting bracket is U-shaped. One end of a return spring is connected to the inner side of the top bracket of the mounting bracket. One end of a telescopic rod is connected to the two side brackets of the mounting bracket. The other end of the return spring and the telescopic rod are connected to a return clamp. A movable plate is installed at the bottom of the return clamp. A movable block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. Movable frames are connected to both ends of the movable block. A sliding groove is opened on the surface of the base frame. The movable frame is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove. A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame.
[0011] A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. Two sets of limiting plates are provided, which are rectangular plates. The limiting plates overlap the base frame and maintain the stability of the movable plate when it slides. The movable frame passes through the movable block, and both ends of the movable frame are limited inside the handle of the slide groove.
[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the design of the return spring and the slide groove allows the clamping force to automatically adapt to the size of the bread, avoiding damage to the bread surface caused by rigid clamps.
[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, a clamping cavity for clamping and limiting the toast bread is formed between the reset clamping plate and the fixed plate. The operator places the entire piece of toast bread horizontally in the clamping cavity of the toast bread clamping mechanism, which is jointly formed by the fixed plate and the reset clamping plate.
[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, after the toast enters the cavity, it pushes the reset clamp to move outward, the reset spring is compressed and contracts, generating a reverse force, which drives the telescopic rod to contract synchronously, so that the reset clamp and the fixed plate are tightly attached to both ends of the bread, achieving flexible clamping.
[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, during the clamping process, the moving plate slides along the groove through the moving block at the bottom, and with the constraint of the limiting plate, the stability and alignment accuracy of the clamping action are ensured, and the bread is prevented from shifting.
[0016] As a further optimization of this utility model, the slitting blade is provided in multiple sets; through the array layout of multiple sets of slitting blades, a single cut can simultaneously complete the slitting of multiple slices of the entire loaf of bread, which improves efficiency compared to traditional single-blade equipment.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] 1. This utility model uses an array of multi-component cutting blades to simultaneously cut multiple slices of a whole loaf of bread in a single cut. Compared with traditional single-blade equipment, it greatly improves cutting efficiency and meets the needs of continuous production.
[0019] 2. This invention uses a rotating handle to drive a rotating screw, allowing for precise adjustment of the slicing blade position to accommodate toast bread of different lengths. Combined with an electric push rod that rotates the mounting plate around the central axis, this ensures that multiple slicing blades simultaneously cut into the toast bread, resulting in more uniform slice thickness and improved product consistency.
[0020] 3. During the cutting process, the contact angle between the cutting blade and the bread remains constant. This design effectively reduces the generation of crumbs, makes the cut surface smoother, and improves the appearance quality of the product.
[0021] 4. This utility model adopts a design that combines a return spring and a sliding groove in the toast bread clamping mechanism, so that the clamping force can automatically adapt to the bread size, avoiding the bread surface damage that may be caused by rigid clamps, while ensuring the stability and alignment accuracy of the clamping action.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Please combine Figures 1-5 This embodiment proposes a toast bread slicing machine, including a slicing mechanism 1 and a toast bread clamping mechanism 2. The slicing mechanism 1 includes a support frame 11, a rotating screw 12 passing through the inner side of the support frame 11, a handle 13 connected to the top of the rotating screw 12, a transverse block 14 threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating screw 12, a connecting frame 15 fixedly connected above the transverse block 14, an electric push rod 16 movably mounted on the inner side of the connecting frame 15, a mounting plate 17 connected to the output end of the electric push rod 16, a rotating shaft rod 18 mounted at the bottom of the connecting frame 15, the bottom end of the mounting plate 17 hinged to the inner bottom of the connecting frame 15 via the rotating shaft rod 18, the rotating shaft rod 18 passing through the connection between the mounting plate 17 and the connecting frame 15, and a plurality of equidistantly arranged slicing blades 19 fixedly connected to the outer side of the mounting plate 17.
[0032] Specifically, rotating the handle 13 drives the rotating screw 12 to rotate, which in turn moves the transverse block 14 along the screw axis. The transverse block 14 is linked to the multi-component cutter 19 through the connecting frame 15, which moves the multi-component cutter 19 synchronously. By adjusting the cutter 19 to different positions, it can adapt to cutting toast bread 3 of different lengths.
[0033] After adjustment, the electric push rod 16 is activated, and its output end pushes the mounting plate 17 to rotate downward around the rotating axis rod 18, causing the multi-component cutters 19 to simultaneously cut into the toast bread 3. During the cutting process, the contact angle between the cutting edge of the cutter 19 and the bread remains constant, reducing the generation of crumbs.
[0034] Reset and Cycle: After cutting, the electric push rod 16 retracts, and the mounting plate 17 drives the slitting blade 19 to rise and reset. The operator only needs to change the bread and repeat the above steps to achieve continuous slitting.
[0035] It should be noted that the slitting blade 19 is provided in multiple sets; through the array layout of the multiple sets of slitting blades 19, multiple slices of the whole loaf of bread can be cut at the same time in a single cut, which improves efficiency compared to traditional single-blade equipment.
[0036] The toast holding mechanism 2 includes a mounting bracket 21, and a base frame 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the mounting bracket 21. The base frame 22 is fixedly installed above the support frame 11.
[0037] The mounting bracket 21 is a U-shaped frame. One end of the return spring 23 is connected to the inner side of the top bracket of the mounting bracket 21. One end of the telescopic rod 231 is connected to the two side brackets of the mounting bracket 21. The other end of the return spring 23 and the telescopic rod 231 are connected to the return clamp 24. The bottom end of the return clamp 24 is equipped with a movable plate 25. The bottom end of the movable plate 25 is fixedly connected to a movable block 26. The two ends of the movable block 26 are connected to movable frames 27. The surface of the base frame 22 is provided with a sliding groove 28. The movable frame 27 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sliding groove 28. The top end of the base frame 22 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 29.
[0038] It should be noted that the bottom end of the movable plate 25 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 251. There are two sets of limiting plates 251, which are rectangular plates. The limiting plates 251 overlap the base frame 22 and maintain the stability of the movable plate 25 when it slides. The movable frame 27 passes through the movable block 26, and both ends of the movable frame 27 are limited inside the handle of the slide groove 28.
[0039] Furthermore, a clamping cavity for clamping and limiting the toast bread 3 is formed between the reset clamping plate 24 and the fixing plate 29.
[0040] Bread placement: The operator places the whole loaf of toast 3 horizontally into the clamping cavity of the toast holding mechanism 2, which is formed by the fixing plate 29 and the reset clamping plate 24.
[0041] Furthermore, the design of the return spring 23 and the slide 28 allows the clamping force to automatically adapt to the size of the bread, avoiding damage to the bread surface caused by rigid clamps.
[0042] Adaptive clamping: After the toast bread 3 enters the cavity, it pushes the reset clamping plate 24 to move outward. The reset spring 23 is compressed and contracts, generating a reverse force, which drives the telescopic rod 231 to contract synchronously, so that the reset clamping plate 24 and the fixed plate 29 are tightly fitted to both ends of the bread, achieving flexible clamping. During the clamping process, the moving plate 25 slides along the slide groove 28 through the moving block 26 at the bottom end. With the constraint of the limiting plate 251, the stability and alignment accuracy of the clamping action are ensured, and the bread is prevented from shifting.
[0043] The working principle of the toast bread slicing machine described in this embodiment is as follows:
[0044] Clamping mechanism workflow
[0045] Bread placement: The operator places the whole loaf of toast 3 horizontally into the clamping cavity of the toast holding mechanism 2, which is formed by the fixing plate 29 and the reset clamping plate 24.
[0046] Adaptive clamping: After the toast bread 3 enters the cavity, it pushes the reset clamping plate 24 to move outward. The reset spring 23 is compressed and contracts, generating a reverse force, which drives the telescopic rod 231 to contract synchronously, so that the reset clamping plate 24 and the fixed plate 29 are tightly fitted to both ends of the bread, achieving flexible clamping. During the clamping process, the moving plate 25 slides along the slide groove 28 through the moving block 26 at the bottom end. With the constraint of the limiting plate 251, the stability and alignment accuracy of the clamping action are ensured, and the bread is prevented from shifting.
[0047] After the bread is cut, the operator takes out the bread, the return spring 23 and the telescopic rod 231 automatically reset, and the return clamp 24 returns to its initial position, preparing for the next cycle.
[0048] Slitting mechanism workflow
[0049] The rotating handle 13 drives the rotating screw 12 to rotate, which in turn moves the transverse block 14 along the screw axis. The transverse block 14 is linked to the multi-component cutter 19 through the connecting frame 15, which moves the multi-component cutter 19 synchronously. By adjusting the cutter 19 to different positions, it can adapt to cutting toast bread 3 of different lengths.
[0050] After adjustment, the electric push rod 16 is activated, and its output end pushes the mounting plate 17 to rotate downward around the rotating axis rod 18, causing the multi-component cutters 19 to simultaneously cut into the toast bread 3. During the cutting process, the contact angle between the cutting edge of the cutter 19 and the bread remains constant, reducing the generation of crumbs.
[0051] Reset and Cycle: After cutting, the electric push rod 16 retracts, and the mounting plate 17 drives the slitting blade 19 to rise and reset. The operator only needs to change the bread and repeat the above steps to achieve continuous slitting.
[0052] High-efficiency slicing: With the array layout of multiple slicing blades 19, a single cut can simultaneously slice multiple pieces of the entire loaf of bread, improving efficiency compared to traditional single-blade equipment.
[0053] Flexible clamping: The design of the return spring 23 and the slide 28 makes the clamping force automatically adapt to the size of the bread, avoiding the damage to the bread surface caused by rigid clamps.
[0054] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
