Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable meat feeding device and its continuous slicer, belonging to the field of meat processing machinery technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing demands of people for quality of life, the meat processing industry is gradually developing and expanding, leading to a growing need for meat processing machinery. Among these machines, the meat slicer is a crucial piece of equipment.

[0003] A meat slicer is a machine that cuts meat into specified sizes and shapes. The most common type of meat slicer is the vertical meat slicer, which can directly cut and slice beef slices, rolls, etc., at temperatures below -10 degrees Celsius. Most vertical meat slicers use a reciprocating push-feeding method, which is inefficient and results in significant waste of raw materials.

[0004] Currently, there are also some meat cutters that can perform continuous feeding. By coordinating the lower conveying feeding mechanism and the upper pressing conveying mechanism, continuous feeding can be achieved, which greatly improves production efficiency; it also ensures that almost no meat scraps are left, greatly reduces losses, and improves the production efficiency of the equipment.

[0005] However, during the conveying process, the lower conveying feeding mechanism cannot properly adhere to and compress the frozen meat pieces, causing the meat pieces to detach from the upper pressing conveying mechanism, resulting in uneven slice thickness and large material heads. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention provides an adjustable meat feeding device and a continuous slicer thereof, solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This utility model relates to an adjustable meat pressing and feeding device. The adjustable meat pressing and feeding device includes a lower conveying and feeding mechanism that supports the reciprocating rotation of the material. Above the lower conveying and feeding mechanism is an upper pressing and feeding mechanism that presses down on the top of the material and can be adjusted in height to cooperate with the lower conveying and feeding mechanism in reciprocating rotation of the material. The middle part of the upper pressing and feeding mechanism is provided with a pressing mechanism that presses the material firmly on the top. The front end of the upper pressing and feeding mechanism is provided with a secondary meat pressing mechanism.

[0008] As a preferred option, the lower-level feeding mechanism is a belt conveyor, with anti-slip protrusions evenly fixed on the outer circumference of the belt. The belt conveyor has a simple structure, and the anti-slip protrusions can prevent the material from sliding relative to the belt conveyor during transport, thus preventing it from affecting the conveying accuracy and causing uneven slice thickness.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the upper-level pressing and conveying mechanism includes a conveyor chain with multiple anti-slip teeth evenly fixed on its outer circumference. Both ends of the conveyor chain are connected to a lower pressure sprocket and a drive sprocket. A lower pressure mechanism is located on the inner side of the conveyor chain between the lower pressure sprocket and the drive sprocket, and a secondary pressing mechanism is located at the front end of the lower pressure sprocket. The conveying structure is simple and practical. The anti-slip teeth press down and grip the top of the material, and then the rotation of the conveyor chain, in conjunction with the lower-level conveying and feeding mechanism, completes precise conveying and cutting, achieving almost no leftover meat scraps. Furthermore, during material conveying, the secondary pressing mechanism can assist in pressing the front end of the material, while the lower pressure mechanism presses down on the lower inner side of the conveyor chain, ensuring the conveyor chain is firmly pressed onto the material and preventing loosening.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the conveyor chain comprises multiple chains, each with a support plate rotatably mounted on its lower sprocket. A limit rod is hinged to the top center of each support plate, and an elastic support mechanism is located at the upper end of the limit rod. A support shaft is rotatably mounted on the other end of each support plate. The secondary pressing mechanism includes auxiliary pressing frames rotatably mounted on both ends of the lower sprocket shaft. A limit support rod is hinged to the top of the auxiliary pressing frame, and an elastic support mechanism is located at the upper end of the limit support rod. Anti-slip teeth are located at the bottom of the auxiliary pressing frame. Multiple conveyor chains can better press and grip the material. The lower sprocket can rotate around the rear support shaft, and the elastic support mechanism provides cushioning, further compressing the material. Combined with the auxiliary pressing frames that can rotatably rotate around the lower sprocket shaft, the material is compressed even more effectively.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the inner region of the conveyor chain is provided with multiple support tubes, of which at least two support tubes are equipped with guide sprockets. The pressing mechanism includes chain supports located on the lower inner side of the conveyor chain, of which at least one support tube is equipped with a chain support. The bottom of the chain support has a guide boss. The guide boss allows the inner groove of the conveyor chain to guide and slide, pressing down and supporting the conveyor chain.

[0012] A bracket is rotatably mounted on the guide sprocket. Both the bracket and the inner end of the chain support bar are fixed with stepped mounting rods. The support tube has mounting holes for the stepped mounting rods to pass through. A locking nut is located at the top of the stepped mounting rod, and a buffer spring is installed on the stepped mounting rod inside the support tube. Both the guide sprocket and the chain support bar can elastically extend and retract, and the preload can be adjusted by rotating the locking nut.

[0013] Both elastic support mechanisms include a return spring fitted onto the limiting support rod and the limiting strut. The top of the return spring has a support plate fitted onto the limiting support rod and the limiting strut, and above the support plate is a limiting nut threaded onto the limiting support rod and the limiting strut. The elastic telescopic structure is simple and convenient, and the preload can be adjusted by changing the position of the limiting nut on the limiting support rod and the limiting strut. The upper end of the auxiliary pressure frame has a flexible return spring, which can float and press according to the height of the material without slippage.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, end plates are fixed at both ends of the support tube, and nuts are fixed at both ends of the outer sides of the end plates. These nuts are connected to lead screws. A mounting bracket is provided on the outer side of the end plates, and the lead screws are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket. Lifting drive shafts are rotatably mounted at both ends of the mounting bracket. The two ends of the lifting drive shafts are connected to the lead screws via bevel gears. Lifting drive sprockets are mounted on the lifting drive shafts, and the lifting drive sprockets are connected to a lifting drive motor fixed on the mounting bracket via a lifting drive chain. The height of the upper pressing and conveying mechanism can be automatically adjusted as needed to accommodate meat blocks of various thicknesses.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, multiple transmission sprockets are fixedly connected to the same drive shaft. A drive sprocket is fixed to one end of the drive shaft, and a driven sprocket is fixed to the conveying shaft of the lower conveying and feeding mechanism. The driven sprocket and the drive sprocket are connected via a transmission chain, which also connects to an intermediate sprocket and a main drive sprocket. The main drive sprocket is fixedly connected to a drive motor. The upper pressing and conveying mechanism and the lower conveying and feeding mechanism share a single drive motor, saving costs and improving the linkage effect.

[0016] This utility model also provides a continuous slicer, including a meat cutting frame, a meat cutting mechanism on the meat cutting frame, and an adjustable meat pressing feed device as described above. The adjustable meat pressing feed device is located next to the meat cutting mechanism and installed on the meat cutting frame, and a protective cover is provided on the outside of the upper pressing conveyor mechanism.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The lower-level feeding mechanism and the upper-level pressing conveyor mechanism work together to achieve continuous feeding, greatly improving production efficiency. When the upper-level pressing conveyor is conveying, the lower pressing mechanism can press the top of the material to prevent it from falling off. In addition, the secondary pressing mechanism set at the front end of the upper-level pressing conveyor can prevent the material from slipping during continuous feeding, making continuous feeding more stable, achieving precise slicing, and leaving almost no material residue.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 9As shown, this utility model is an adjustable meat pressing feeding device. The adjustable meat pressing feeding device 1 includes a lower conveying feeding mechanism 101 that supports the reciprocating rotational conveying of materials. Above the lower conveying feeding mechanism 101, there is an upper pressing conveying mechanism that presses down the top of the material and can adjust the height to cooperate with the lower conveying feeding mechanism 101 in reciprocating rotational conveying of materials. The middle part of the upper pressing conveying mechanism is provided with a pressing mechanism that presses the material firmly onto the top of the material. The front end of the upper pressing conveying mechanism is provided with a secondary meat pressing mechanism.

[0031] In use, the meat chunks are placed on the lower conveying feeding mechanism 101, and then the upper pressing conveying mechanism presses down on the top of the meat chunks. The lower pressing mechanism causes the upper pressing conveying mechanism to press the meat chunks tightly, and the secondary pressing mechanism assists in pressing the front end of the meat chunks. Then, the lower conveying feeding mechanism 101 and the upper pressing conveying mechanism work together to rotate and feed the meat chunks.

[0032] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the lower conveying and feeding mechanism 101 is a belt conveyor, and anti-slip protrusions are uniformly fixed on the outer periphery of the belt of the belt conveyor.

[0033] The upper pressing and conveying mechanism includes a conveying chain 126, on which multiple anti-slip teeth are evenly fixed. Both ends of the conveying chain 126 are connected to a lower pressing sprocket 118 and a drive sprocket 104. The lower pressing mechanism is located on the inner side of the conveying chain 126 between the lower pressing sprocket 118 and the drive sprocket 104. The secondary pressing mechanism is located at the front end of the lower pressing sprocket 118.

[0034] Multiple conveyor chains 126 are provided. Each conveyor chain 126 has a support plate 117 rotatably mounted on its lower sprocket 118. A limit support rod 122 is hinged to the middle of the top of each support plate 117. An elastic support mechanism is provided at the upper end of the limit support rod 122. A support shaft 121 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the multiple support plates 117. The secondary meat pressing mechanism includes an auxiliary pressing frame 119 rotatably mounted on both ends of the shaft of the lower sprocket 118. A limit support rod 120 is hinged to the top of the auxiliary pressing frame 119. An elastic support mechanism is provided at the upper end of the limit support rod 120. Anti-slip pressing teeth are provided at the bottom of the auxiliary pressing frame 119.

[0035] The inner region of the conveyor chain 126 is provided with multiple support tubes 107, of which at least two support tubes 107 are equipped with guide sprockets 114. The pressing mechanism includes chain support bars 116 provided on the lower inner side of the conveyor chain 126, of which at least one support tube 107 is equipped with a chain support bar 116, and the bottom of the chain support bar 116 is provided with a guide boss.

[0036] A bracket is rotatably mounted on the guide sprocket 114. A stepped mounting rod 115 is fixed to the inner end of both the bracket and the chain support bar 116. The support tube 107 is provided with a mounting hole for the stepped mounting rod 115 to pass through. A locking nut is provided at the top of the stepped mounting rod 115. A buffer spring 127 is provided on the stepped mounting rod 115 inside the support tube 107.

[0037] The first elastic support mechanism and the second elastic support mechanism include a return spring 128 sleeved on the limiting support rod 122 and the limiting support rod 120. The top of the return spring 128 is provided with a support plate 123 sleeved on the limiting support rod 122 and the limiting support rod 120. The upper part of the support plate 123 is provided with a limiting nut threaded on the limiting support rod 122 and the limiting support rod 120.

[0038] End plates 108 are fixed to both ends of the support tube 107. Nuts are fixed to both ends of the outer sides of the end plates 108, and screw rods 110 are connected to the nuts. A mounting bracket 109 is provided on the outer side of the end plates 108. The screw rods 110 are rotatably mounted on the mounting brackets 109. Lifting drive shafts 112 are rotatably mounted on both ends of the mounting brackets 109. The two ends of the lifting drive shafts 112 are connected to the screw rods 110 through bevel gears 111. Lifting drive sprockets are mounted on the lifting drive shafts 112. The lifting drive sprockets are connected to a lifting drive motor 113 fixed on the mounting brackets 109 through a lifting drive chain. A mounting groove 103 is provided on the inner side of the end plates 108, and both ends of the support tube 107 are installed in the mounting groove 103.

[0039] Multiple transmission sprockets 104 are fixedly connected to the same drive shaft 106. One end of the drive shaft 106 is fixed with a drive sprocket. A driven sprocket is fixed on the conveying shaft of the lower conveying and feeding mechanism 101. The driven sprocket and the drive sprocket are connected by a transmission chain. The transmission chain is also connected to an intermediate sprocket 125 and a main drive sprocket 124. The main drive sprocket 124 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 105.

[0040] In use, the meat chunks are placed on the belt conveyor with their heads positioned below the auxiliary pressing frame 119. Then, depending on the thickness of the meat chunks, the lifting drive motor 113 rotates, driving the lifting drive shaft 112 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the lead screw 110 to rotate via the four pairs of bevel gears 111 at the four corners, adjusting the height of the conveyor chain 126. This ensures the bottom of the conveyor chain 126 presses against the top front end of the meat chunk. Meanwhile, the support plate 117 rotates around the support shaft 121, and the auxiliary pressing frame 119 rotates around the lower pressing sprocket 118, compressing the return spring 128 and applying downward pressure to the support 111. This causes the conveyor chain below the lower pressing sprocket 118 and the auxiliary pressing frame 119 to work together to press against the top front end of the meat chunk. Then, the drive motor 105 starts, driving the drive sprocket and driven sprocket to rotate synchronously, causing the conveyor chain and belt conveyor to reciprocate, conveying the meat chunks forward.

[0041] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model also relates to a continuous slicer, including a meat slicer frame 2, a meat slicer mechanism 5 mounted on the meat slicer frame 2, and an adjustable meat pressing feed device as described in Embodiment 1 or 2. The adjustable meat pressing feed device 1 is located next to the meat slicer mechanism 5 and mounted on the meat slicer frame 2. A protective cover 102 is provided on the outer side of the upper pressing conveyor mechanism. A discharge conveyor belt 4 is provided on the side of the meat slicer frame 2 away from the upper pressing conveyor mechanism, and a second protective cover 3 is provided at the connection between the discharge conveyor belt 4 and the meat slicer mechanism 5. The meat slicer mechanism 5 is prior art and will not be described here.

[0042] In use, the meat chunks are placed on the lower conveying feeding mechanism 101, and then the upper pressing conveying mechanism presses down on the top of the meat chunks. The lower conveying feeding mechanism 101 and the upper pressing conveying mechanism work together to rotate and feed the meat chunks. At this time, the meat cutting mechanism 5 is started to slice the conveyed meat chunks. Then the sliced ​​meat falls onto the discharge conveyor belt 4 and is conveyed outward.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
