[0024] The pneumatic bone residue blowing mechanism 8 includes: a blowing mounting plate 81, which is fixedly connected to the top of the feed funnel 2. Several sets of blowing nozzles 82 are provided at the bottom of the blowing mounting plate 81, and a pneumatic connector 83 is provided at one end of the blowing mounting plate 81.

[0025] In this embodiment, a feeding hopper 2 is provided to facilitate feeding of material into the lower cutting mechanism 4. A drive mechanism 3 is provided to drive the cutting mechanism 4 to cut the chicken feet into pieces. A pneumatic bone residue blowing mechanism 8 is provided at the top of the feeding hopper 2 to clean the bone residue remaining on the cutting mechanism 4. An external air pressure device is connected through a pneumatic connector 83 to provide high-pressure airflow to the blowing nozzle 82.

By mounting the drive motor 32 on the motor mounting plate 31, when the drive motor 32 is working, it drives the input end of the reducer 33 to rotate through the transmission belt 34, adjusting the speed and torque to match the actual speed requirement of the cutting mechanism 4 and providing power to the cutting mechanism 4.

[0028] Typically, the cutting mechanism 4 includes: an assembly frame 41, which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. An active cutting roller 42 is mounted on the assembly frame 41.
