Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of shaping devices, specifically relating to a sausage filling and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Sausage is a common meat product made from minced meat, usually pork, beef, chicken, or fish, along with other ingredients such as spices, seasonings, and preservatives. This mixture is then stuffed into casings and processed through methods such as marinating, smoking, and cooking. There are many types of sausages, with different regions and cultures having their own unique varieties.

[0003] Currently, sausage filling equipment is mainly used to evenly fill sausage casings with minced meat. Its working principle involves using a pneumatic or hydraulic system to drive a piston, squeezing the minced meat out of a hopper and through a nozzle into the casing. To ensure even distribution of the minced meat, the filling equipment is typically equipped with a precise metering system that can accurately control the amount of minced meat filled each time according to preset parameters.

[0004] With the increasing variety of sausages, sausages of different thicknesses and shapes are circulating in the market. However, these sausages need to be filled using molds, and the molds are positioned manually, which is relatively cumbersome and greatly reduces filling efficiency. In addition, different sizes of sausages require different molds, and the mold fixing also needs to be flexible to facilitate the operation of the staff. Utility Model Content

The feeding channel for conveying meat filling is fixedly installed on the top of the operating table via a bracket. The opening on one side of the feeding channel is covered by a discharge port for gathering and conveying meat filling. A filling tube is fixedly installed through the center of the end of the discharge port away from the feeding channel. The filling tube has an L-shaped structure, and the end of the filling tube away from the discharge port is vertically downward. The lower end of the filling tube is fixedly connected to the filling head. Several casing binding protrusions are fixedly sleeved on the filling tube near the filling head. The casing binding protrusions have an annular structure.

However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a sausage filling and shaping device, including,

[0034] The filling mechanism 1 includes an operating table 10, a feeding channel 11, a discharge port 17, a filling tube 18, a filling head 19, and casing binding protrusions 110. The feeding channel 11 for conveying meat filling is fixedly installed on the top of the operating table 10 via a bracket. One side opening of the feeding channel 11 is covered by the discharge port 17 for gathering and conveying meat filling. The filling tube 18 is fixedly inserted through the center of the end of the discharge port 17 furthest from the feeding channel 11. The filling tube 18 has an L-shaped structure, with the end furthest from the discharge port 17 vertically downwards. The lower end of the filling tube 18 is fixedly connected to the filling head 19. Several casing binding protrusions 110 are fixedly sleeved on the filling tube 18 near the filling head 19. The protruding edge 110 has a ring structure. The inside of the feeding channel 11 can store meat filling and can be spirally fed by the spiral blade 111, which can realize a stable meat filling feeding operation for sausage filling. The discharge port 17 has a conical structure, which can facilitate the accumulation of meat filling at the feeding extrusion position and ensure the density inside the casing. The filling tube 18 can facilitate the auxiliary discharge of meat filling. The filling head 19 can be better inserted into the casing for meat filling extrusion. The casing binding protruding edge 110 can wrap the end of the casing around the lower end of the filling tube 18 before filling, and bind the end of the casing to the gap between adjacent casing binding protruding edges 110 with a rope to ensure that the end of the casing will not detach from the filling tube 18 during filling.

[0035] The sausage shaping mechanism 2 includes a mounting plate 20, a cylinder 21, a piston rod 22, a connecting sleeve 23, and a mold head 24. The mounting plate 20 is symmetrically distributed and fixed at both ends along one side of the operating table 10. The cylinder 21 is mounted on the inward side of the mounting plate 20. The piston rod 22 for extension and retraction is provided inside the cylinder 21. The connecting sleeve 23 is sleeved on the end of the piston rod 22. The mold head 24 is fixedly mounted on the end of the connecting sleeve 23. The mold heads 24 distributed on both sides are a matching structure. During the filling process, the sausage is segmented. In order to achieve the desired shape of the sausage... The filling shape is shaped by extending and retracting the piston rod 22 of the cylinder 21, so that the mold heads 24 distributed on both sides can be closed. The hollow area allows the casing to pass through. During each filling, the casing below the mold head 24 is already filled with meat filling and knotted. Then, the casing between the two mold heads 24 is filled. During continuous filling, the meat filling will squeeze the casing to fit the size between it and the mold head 24. When the filling reaches the limit of the shape of the area, the filled casing is knotted, and the meat filling of the next section of casing is carried out.

[0036] In this device, a sealing plate 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the feeding channel 11 away from the discharge interface 17. A sealing bearing 13 is fixedly installed through the center of the sealing plate 12. A shaft 14 is installed through the interior of the sealing bearing 13. The surface of the shaft 14 is interference-fitted with the inner ring wall of the sealing bearing 13. The sealing plate 12 can close the opening of the feeding channel 11, and the shaft 14 can rotate stably based on the sealing bearing 13.

[0037] The outer end of the shaft 14 is equipped with a motor 15. The outer ring wall of the motor 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the sealing plate 12 through a bracket. The motor 15 has a rotating shaft for driving inside, and the end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft 14 through a coupling. The shaft 14 is located on the inner surface of the feeding channel 11 and is wound with a spiral blade 111 for spiral feeding. The outer spiral surface of the spiral blade 111 is slidably attached to the inner wall surface of the feeding channel 11. When the spiral blade 111 needs to be spiral fed, the power supply of the motor 15 is turned on, so that the motor 15 can drive the rotating shaft and cause the shaft 14 to move in conjunction, thereby realizing the rotation of the spiral blade 111.

[0038] The upper end of the feeding channel 11 is fixed with a feeding funnel 16, which is located on the side near the sealing plate 12. The feeding funnel 16 facilitates the filling of meat when it enters the feeding channel 11.

[0039] In this device, threaded posts 1001 are symmetrically distributed and fixed on the outer ring wall of the feeding channel 11 near the discharge interface 17. A collar 1002 corresponding to the position of the threaded posts 1001 is fixed to the surface of the discharge interface 17 by a bracket. The threaded posts 1001 and the collar 1002 are slidably connected. A threaded cap 1003 is threadedly installed at the end of the threaded post 1001. The end face of the threaded cap 1003 is tightly attached to the surface of the collar 1002. Based on the docking of the threaded posts 1001 and the collar 1002, the discharge interface 17 and the feeding channel 11 can be quickly positioned and docked. When the discharge interface 17 needs to be disassembled and cleaned periodically, the threaded cap 1003 can be rotated to separate it from the threaded posts 1001, thus separating the collar 1002 from the threaded posts 1001.

[0040] The piston rod 22 has a pin groove 2001 at the end near the connecting sleeve 23. A retaining pin 2002 is slidably sleeved inside the pin groove 2001. A spring 2003 is installed inside the pin groove 2001. The two ends of the spring 2003 are fixedly installed to the inner wall of the pin groove 2001 and the surface of the retaining pin 2002, respectively. The spring 2003 can ensure the stable extension and repositioning of the retaining pin 2002.

[0041] The connecting sleeve 23 has an arc-shaped groove 2004 on its inner wall. The end of the locking pin 2002 has a curved surface structure. The curved surface of the end of the locking pin 2002 is tightly fitted against the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped groove 2004. When the piston rod 22 needs to be assembled with the connecting sleeve 23, the piston rod 22 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 23, causing the curved surface of the end of the locking pin 2002 to be squeezed by the port of the connecting sleeve 23. The compressible spring 2003 enters the pin groove 2001, thereby allowing the piston rod 22 to be fully inserted into the connecting sleeve 23, and allowing the cylinder 21 to engage with the mold head 24. When fully assembled, when the position of the locking pin 2002 corresponds to the position of the arc groove 2004, the reset effect of the spring 2003 allows the locking pin 2002 to spring into the interior of the arc groove 2004, completing the locking and fixing of the piston rod 22 and the connecting sleeve 23. Conversely, during disassembly, by pulling the mold head 24, the end curved surface of the locking pin 2002 is arc-shapedly pressed against the inner curved surface of the arc groove 2004, and the locking pin 2002 compresses the spring 2003 again and enters the interior of the pin groove 2001, thereby allowing the piston rod 22 and the connecting sleeve 23 to separate, completing the disassembly.

[0042] In practice

[0043] In this scheme, the meat filling stored inside the feeding channel 11 is stably conveyed by the rotation of the spiral blade 111. After the motor 15 is started, its shaft drives the shaft 14 to rotate through the coupling. The shaft 14 drives the spiral blade 111 to slide on the inner wall of the feeding channel 11, pushing the meat filling from one side of the feeding funnel 16 to the discharge port 17. The discharge port 17 has a conical structure, which can gather the meat filling and improve its density. The meat filling is turned through the L-shaped structure of the filling tube 18 and enters the filling head 19 vertically. The filling head 19 is inserted into the casing, and the meat filling is continuously squeezed out. The casing binding protrusion 110 is used to fix the end of the casing. The operator wraps the casing around the lower end of the filling tube 18 and ties the gap between adjacent protrusions with a rope to prevent the casing from falling off during filling. This process ensures the continuous and uniform conveying of the meat filling and maintains a tight connection between the casing and the filling tube 18.

[0044] The sausage shaping mechanism 2 drives the piston rod 22 to extend and retract via the cylinder 21, which in turn causes the mold heads 24 on both sides to close or separate. The mold head 24 is a hollow matching structure through which the sausage casing passes. During filling, the already filled and knotted sausage casing section is located below the mold head 24, and the casing of the newly filled section is located between the two mold heads 24. After the cylinder 21 pushes the mold head 24 to close, the meat filling is squeezed out from the filling head 19 and fills the sausage casing. The sausage casing is squeezed and expands to fit against the inner wall of the mold head 24, forming a preset shape. When the filling volume reaches the capacity limit of the mold head 24, the operator knots the section of sausage casing, and the cylinder 21 resets to separate the mold head 24, preparing for the next section to be filled.

[0045] The discharge port 17 and the feeding channel 11 are positioned and connected by a threaded post 1001 and a collar 1002. The threaded cap 1003 is tightened to secure both. For disassembly, loosening the threaded cap 1003 allows the discharge port 17 to be separated for cleaning. The assembly of the piston rod 22 and the connecting sleeve 23 relies on the engagement of the locking pin 2002 and the arc-shaped groove 2004: when the piston rod 22 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 23, the locking pin 2002 is compressed, causing the spring 2003 to enter the pin groove 2001; when the locking pin 2002 aligns with the arc-shaped groove 2004, the spring 2003 pushes the locking pin 2002 into the groove to lock it in place. For disassembly, pulling the mold head 24 causes the curved surface of the locking pin 2002 to press against the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 2004, compressing the spring 2003 again, and the locking pin 2002 disengages from the arc-shaped groove 2004, thus separating the piston rod 22 from the connecting sleeve 23.
