Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food machinery technology, specifically to a meat strip cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] There are two types of existing meat strip cutting machines. One type uses roller cutters, such as the meat strip cutting machine with patent CN218389616U, which discloses a cylindrical roller-shaped cutting blade structure and a drag roller structure arranged opposite each other. The other type uses a roller as the cutting blade, which is used in conjunction with a mold with a gap so that the cutting blade can be inserted into the gap of the mold to complete the cutting. For example, the meat strip and meat cube cutting machine with patent CN107150370A discloses a roller blade and an outer cutting mold plate with a cutting slit.

[0003] The length of meat strips produced by the two types of cutting machines mentioned above is limited, depending on the length of the meat block. The length of the cut strip is only the distance between two opposite sides of the meat block. For irregularly shaped meat blocks, the cut strips are shorter, resulting in more waste. When processing dog chew sticks, meat strips need to be wound around the surface of slender rods such as bones. With manual winding, the joints between adjacent meat strips can be manipulated flexibly, achieving a smooth and uninterrupted connection. However, manual winding is inefficient, and product quality is inconsistent. With mechanical winding of dog chew sticks, the joint connection between adjacent meat strips is difficult to solve. Often, the tail of one meat strip or the head of the next cannot be held in place by the adjacent strips and protrudes, affecting the appearance and quality of the dog chew stick. Therefore, how to produce longer meat strips has become a major problem for dog chew stick manufacturers. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a meat strip cutting machine. This device uses two sets of blades that are relatively staggered and move in a straight line to cut long meat strips, which meets the production needs of automated processing of dog bite sticks in the later stage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A meat strip cutting machine includes a meat block support plate and a meat block pressing plate, which are located below and above the meat block, respectively. Both the meat block support plate and the meat block pressing plate are provided with multiple parallel through grooves. Each through groove on the two plates is located in the same vertical plane. Cutting blades are slidably connected in the through grooves at intervals. There are two sets of cutting blades, which are installed on the left and right sides of the meat block respectively. The cutting blades on the left and right sides of the meat block are arranged alternately.

[0007] Preferably, the meat pressing plate is connected to a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is connected to a front and rear translation mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting mechanism consists of two sets, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the meat block.

[0009] Preferably, the side of the frame is provided with a lifting mechanism guide rail, and the upper end of the frame is provided with a front and rear translation mechanism guide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the side of the cutting blade away from the meat block is connected to a left-right translation mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, all cutting blades located on the same side of the meat block are installed together in the blade holder, and the blade holder is rotatably connected to the left and right translation mechanism in the vertical plane.

[0012] Preferably, the cutting tool includes a blade body and a cutting edge, the cutting edge being located at the front end of the blade body, and a groove being provided on the side of the cutting edge.

[0013] Preferably, the groove is a through groove.

[0014] Preferably, the meat strip cutting machine further includes a frame, and a support platform for supporting the blade is provided at the lower end of the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses staggered cutting blades set on the left and right sides of the meat block to achieve staggered cutting of the meat block. The uncut ends become the connection points of the meat strips cut by the two adjacent cutting blades. After cutting, a longer meat strip is formed, which can meet the requirements of long meat strips when automatically wrapping dog bite sticks.

[0017] 2. This invention has low requirements for meat pieces; even irregularly shaped meat pieces can be cut into long, complete strips. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] This utility model discloses a method such as Figure 1-3 The meat strip cutting machine shown has a frame 1 with a bottom crossbar connected to each end of a side plate. A support platform 14 is installed between the two side plates and above the crossbar. Above the support platform, from bottom to top, are a meat block support plate 10, a meat block pressure plate 8, and a crossbeam 5. The left and right ends of the meat block support plate 10 and the crossbeam 5 are fixedly connected to the left and right side plates, while the left and right ends of the meat block pressure plate 8 are slidably connected to the left and right side plates. A lifting cylinder 3 is installed at each end of the crossbeam 5. The actuating end of the lifting cylinder 3 is connected to the end of the meat block pressure plate 8. Through the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 3, the meat block pressure plate 8 moves up and down, thus cooperating with the meat block support plate 10 to compress and fix the meat blocks in the vertical direction.

[0025] Both the meat support plate 10 and the meat pressing plate 8 are equipped with multiple channels, such as... Figure 3 The parallel through slots shown are horizontally extending and vertically open. The through slots of the meat support plate 10 and the meat pressing plate 8 are coplanar in a vertical plane parallel to the sidewalls of the through slots. The left cutting blade 11 and the right cutting blade 7 are both composed of multiple blades arranged parallel to each other along the front-back direction of the blade holder 12. The blades penetrate upward through the through slot of the meat pressing plate 8 and downward through the through slot of the meat support plate 10. The blades on each side of the cutting blades are not installed in a one-to-one correspondence within the through slots; adjacent blades are separated by an empty through slot, installed in an intermittent manner. At the same time, the blades on the two cutting blades are staggered, that is, the blades of the left cutting blade 11 and the blades of the right cutting blade 7 are not coplanar in a plane parallel to the through slots. The left end of the left cutting blade 11 is connected to a left-side translation cylinder 2, and the right end of the right cutting blade 11 is connected to a right-side translation cylinder 13. The two translation cylinders together form a left-right translation mechanism, which drives the cutting blades to move left and right, cutting the meat block 9 into strips of meat connected at the ends, similar to an accordion-like structure. Figure 4As shown, when unfolded, it becomes a very long strip of meat. Because the meat used in the dog chew stick is chicken, which has great toughness, it will not break at the cut end when unfolded.

[0026] Since the meat block support plate 10 and the meat block pressure plate 8 guide and limit the cutting tool from the top and bottom, and the bottom support platform 4 supports the tool while also having a guiding and positioning function, this application is an over-positioning mechanism. In order to prevent over-positioning from hindering the normal movement of the cutting tool, the connection between the translation cylinder and the cutting tool in this application is a rotational connection in the vertical plane.

[0027] To reduce the friction between the cutting blade and the meat piece 9, the cutting blade is designed as an assembly structure in which the front end of the blade body 11-1 is connected to the blade part 11-2, and a transparent groove is provided on the side of the blade part.

[0028] A set of lifting mechanism guide rails for guiding the meat block pressing plate 8 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the frame 1. A front and rear translation mechanism guide rail for guiding the back and forth movement of the crossbeam 5 is installed between the crossbeam 5 and the rear side of the frame. A pressing plate pull-out cylinder 6 is installed on the rear side of the frame. The actuator of the pressing plate pull-out cylinder 6 is connected to the crossbeam 5. Under the drive of the pressing plate pull-out cylinder 6, the crossbeam is moved back and forth, thereby moving the meat block pressing plate 8 closer to or away from the meat block, making it convenient to replace the meat block.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
