[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a following cutting device, including a conveying device 1.0, a mobile following cutting device 2.0, and a control system 3.0. The conveying device 1.0 includes a conveying support plate 1.1, a conveying leg 1.6 installed on the bottom of the conveying support plate 1.1, a three-phase asynchronous motor 1.2 installed on the bottom of the conveying support plate 1.1, a drive shaft 1.8 installed on the three-phase asynchronous motor 1.2, a PU conveyor belt 1.7 installed on the drive shaft 1.8, a polytetrafluoroethylene baffle 1.3 installed on the top of the conveying support plate 1.1, and a driven shaft 1.9 also installed on the conveying support plate 1.1. The mobile following cutting device 2.0 is provided on the top of the conveying support plate 1.1, and the control system 3.0 is provided on the outside of the conveying support plate 1.1.

[0022] The system utilizes a conveying device 1.0 to transport food and a moving following and cutting device 2.0 to follow and cut the food, ensuring that the food is cut to a uniform length. The control system 3.0 is designed to control the operation of the entire equipment and the cutting length of the food.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 The conveying device 1.0 also includes a pressing roller 1.4 and a partition plate 1.10. The pressing roller 1.4 and the partition plate 1.10 are both installed on the top of the conveying support plate 1.1. Through the cooperation of the partition plate 1.10 and the pressing roller 1.4, the food can be in close contact with the PU conveyor belt 1.7, and there will be no situation where the speed of the product and the PU conveyor belt 1.7 is inconsistent.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 The mobile following cutting device 2.0 includes two cutting supports 2.11, both of which are movably connected to the conveyor support plate 1.1. A protective cover 2.10 is fixedly mounted on both cutting supports 2.11. A cutter servo motor 2.13 is installed inside the protective cover 2.10. A spherical bearing 2.9 is mounted on the cutter servo motor 2.13, and a cutter 2.6 is mounted on the spherical bearing 2.9. A following servo motor 2.1 is located outside the cutting supports 2.11. A right-angle planetary reducer 2.2 is mounted on the following servo motor 2.1, and a drive shaft 2.4 is mounted on the right-angle planetary reducer 2.2. A coupling 2.3 is mounted on the drive shaft 2.4, and a driven shaft 2.5 is located at the top of the drive shaft 2.4. The driven shaft 2.5 is mounted on the two cutting supports 2.11. Through the configuration of the mobile following cutting device, it can follow the speed of the PU conveyor belt 1.7 and cut the food accordingly, thus improving product quality.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3Each of the two cutting brackets 2.11 is equipped with a slider 2.12, and the conveying support plate 1.1 is provided with two slide rails 1.5. The slider 2.12 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding slide rail 1.5. The connection between the slide rail 1.5 and the slider 2.12 is realized through the connection between the moving follow-cutting device 2.0 and the conveying device 1.0.

[0026] Please see Figure 3 The inner cavity of the protective cover 2.10 is equipped with a slide rail 2.8, and a slider 2.7 is slidably connected to the slide rail 2.8. The slider 2.7 is connected to the cutter 2.6. This setting limits the movement trajectory of the cutter 2.6 and other components, thereby improving stability.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The control system 3.0 includes a control cabinet 3.1, an operation panel 3.2 installed on the control cabinet 3.1, an emergency stop button 3.3 installed on the outside of the control cabinet 3.1, and a power indicator light 3.4 installed on the outside of the control cabinet 3.1. Various values ​​and parameters are input using the operation panel 3.2. The emergency stop button 3.3 can control the operation of the entire device, and the power indicator light 3.4 can visually indicate a power failure.

[0028] Please see Figure 4 The control system 3.0 also includes a cutter proximity sensor 3.5, which is located on the top of the PU conveyor belt 1.7 and mounted on the outer wall of the protective cover 2.10. The bottom of the protective cover 2.10 is equipped with four cutting bracket proximity switches: one (3.6), two (3.7), three (3.8), and four (3.9). These switches are all mounted on the outer wall of the PTFE baffle 1.3. The cutter proximity sensor 3.5 allows for real-time monitoring of the proximity of the cutter 2.6. The switches 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 control the spacing, thus adjusting the cutting length.

[0029] Working principle: When using this application, first power on the control system 3.0, the operation screen 3.2 and the power indicator light 3.4 will light up. Input the length to be cut on the operation screen 3.2 and click run (at the same time, the acceleration and deceleration time of the following servo motor 2.1 and other adjustment parameters can be set on the operation screen). Place the product to be cut on the PU conveyor belt 1.7. The PU conveyor belt 1.7 is driven by the three-phase asynchronous motor 1.2 through the drive shaft 1.8. The speed of the three-phase asynchronous motor 1.2 can be modulated through the operation screen 3.2. Single or multiple products are driven by the PU conveyor belt 1.7 and, under the action of the partition plate 1.10 and the pressure roller 1.4, are in close contact with the PU conveyor belt 1.7, so that there will be no situation where the speed of the product and the PU conveyor belt 1.7 is inconsistent.

[0030] When the PU conveyor belt 1.7 is running, it will drive the coupling 2.3 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the coupling 2.3 will cause the entire moving following cutter 2.0 to move in the direction of the PU conveyor belt 1.7 via the slider 2.12 and the slide rail 1.5. When the moving following cutter 2.0 moves to the position of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.6, the following servo motor 2.1 will run, driving the moving following cutter 2.0 to move in the opposite direction. (If the following servo motor 2.1 does not start when the moving following cutter 2.0 moves to the position of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.6, and the moving following cutter 2.0 continues to move to the position of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.0, the control system 3 will indicate an overtravel fault, the three-phase asynchronous motor 1.2 will be de-energized, and the PU conveyor belt 1.7 will stop running. At this time, it is necessary to clear the fault code and manually run the following servo motor 2.1 to drive the moving following cutter 2.0 away from the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.6 and the cutting bracket...) (Detection range of proximity switch 2.7) The moving follow-cutting device 2.0 runs in the opposite direction from the position of proximity switch 1.6 of the cutting bracket. The position of proximity switch 1.6 of the cutting bracket is the 0 point of the cutting length. For example, if the cutting length is set to 100mm, then after the moving follow-cutting device 2.0 runs 100mm in the opposite direction from the position of proximity switch 1.6 of the cutting bracket, the cutter servo motor 2.13 drives the cutter 2.6 to move up and down once through the joint bearing 2.9, slide rail 2.8, and slider 2.7. The blade of cutter 2.6 contacts the silicone cutter pad and cuts the product. The up and down movement of cutter 2.6 is detected and fed back to the control system by the cutter proximity sensor 3.5, forming a closed-loop control. When the above cutting action is completed, the follow-cutting servo motor 2.1 stops running, and the PU conveyor belt 1.7 will drive the moving follow-cutting device 2.0 to run in the direction of proximity switch 1.6 of the cutting bracket again to enter the next cutting cycle, and so on.

[0031] When the set cutting length exceeds the moving distance of the moving follower cutting device 2.0 between the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.6 and the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.8, the cutter servo motor 2.13 stops rotating when the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.8 detects the moving follower cutting device 2.0. The PU conveyor belt 1.7 drives the moving follower cutting device 2.0 to move towards the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.6. At this time, the cutter servo motor 2.13 starts again and runs towards the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.8. After the moving follower cutting device 2.0 runs back and forth several times to reach the set cutting length, the cutter 2.6 will run once.

[0032] The function of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.9 is the same as that of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.7. When the moving follower cutting device 2.0 runs and reaches the position of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.8 without changing direction, it continues to move toward the position of the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.9. When the cutting bracket proximity switch 3.9 detects the moving follower cutting device 2.0, the control system 3 will report an overtravel fault and stop the machine.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
