Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement of a meat grinder reducer. Background Technology
[0002] Existing motor assemblies with reducers used in meat grinders need to meet food-grade standards. However, since the reducer is horizontally mounted on one side of the motor, the lowest point of the gear mechanism is located above the junction of the reducer and the motor end cover, so the oil sump cannot be placed here.
[0003] Because the gear set in the reducer is not symmetrically arranged and has a high degree of imbalance, and due to the impact of gear meshing, the reducer will vibrate.
[0004] Although we installed a sealing ring at the joint, the long-term harsh operating environment caused lubricant to leak out at the joint.
[0005] Although lubricating oil is not highly toxic, it typically contains various chemicals, such as additives and preservatives, which may be harmful to human health. If lubricating oil spills into the working area of a meat grinder, it can easily contaminate the food being processed. If people consume contaminated food, it may cause discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and in severe cases, even food poisoning. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the reducers in current meat grinders, this utility model provides a meat grinder reducer and a meat grinder motor assembly using the reducer.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a meat grinder reducer includes a reducer housing, in which a reduction shaft and an output shaft are rotatably disposed. The reduction shaft is provided with a first gear and a second gear, and the output shaft is provided with a third gear that meshes with the second gear. The right side of the output shaft has a power connection end. The left end of the reducer housing is open, and the left end of the reducer housing shares a flange end cover of the meat grinder motor. The center of the flange end cover is provided with a motor shaft mounting hole. The first gear is located on one side of the motor shaft mounting hole and meshes with the motor output gear to be installed. The motor shaft mounting hole and the output shaft are arranged coaxially. A cavity is recessed at the lower end of the joint between the flange end cover and the reducer housing. The first gear is located above the cavity and partially enters the cavity. A rubber strip is attached to the bottom surface of the cavity. A rubber ring groove is also provided at the joint between the flange end cover and the reducer housing, and an end cover sealing ring is provided in the rubber ring groove.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of a rubber sheet, the cavity is an arc-shaped cavity, and the rubber sheet is an arc-shaped rubber sheet.
[0009] Furthermore, the ends of the arc-shaped rubber sheet are rounded.
[0010] A preferred power connection end is a connection groove recessed on the right section of the output shaft; the connection groove is a square groove.
[0011] The material of the rubber sheet is selected by optimization, and the rubber sheet is selected as nitrile rubber sheet.
[0012] This utility model also includes a meat grinder motor assembly using the reducer, comprising a motor, a flange end cover on the right side of the motor, a motor shaft in the middle of the motor, and an output gear on the right side of the motor shaft; the meat grinder reducer is located on the right side of the motor, and the meat grinder reducer and the motor share the same flange end cover.
[0013] This utility model also includes the following additional technical features: the motor shaft, the reduction shaft and the output shaft are all provided with bearing support, the motor shaft is mounted on the first bearing group, the reduction shaft is mounted on the second bearing group and the output shaft is mounted on the third bearing group, the motor shaft is also provided with a first sealing ring and the output shaft is provided with a second sealing ring; a support bolt is also screwed on the upper end of the reducer housing for fixing the hopper.
[0014] When in use, this utility model is installed on the motor as a whole. After the power connection end of the output shaft is connected to the meat grinder's main shaft, it provides power to the meat grinder's main shaft, which will not be described in detail here.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The recessed cavity is used to accumulate lubricating oil. A nitrile rubber sheet is installed above the joint seam at the bottom of the recessed cavity, forming a double sealing structure with the original end cover sealing ring, which greatly enhances the reliability of the seal and effectively prevents lubricating oil leakage. 2. During the operation of the meat grinder, the flange end cover and the reducer will vibrate and have a certain degree of displacement, which may cause slight changes in the relative position between the mating surfaces. The arc-shaped rubber sheet has a certain elasticity and flexibility, which can better adapt to this change, always maintain a tight fit with the mating surface, continuously perform the sealing function, and reduce the risk of oil leakage caused by dynamic changes in the mating surface. 3. The motor shaft and the output shaft are coaxially arranged. Compared with conventional meat grinder assemblies with reducers, the axial bending moment of the output shaft is canceled out during operation, resulting in less reducer vibration during use, which not only reduces noise but also reduces the possibility of oil leakage at the end cover flange.
