Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to bread slicing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Bread slicing equipment can precisely control the thickness of bread slices, ensuring that each slice is of uniform thickness. It can slice a large number of breads in a short time. In large bread production plants, automated bread slicers can slice thousands of bread slices per hour, which is far more efficient than manual slicing, greatly improving bread production speed and output.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN220162590U, which discloses a bread baking and slicing device. The device includes a worktable, a movable plate above the worktable, and a mounting plate below the movable plate. Multiple stainless steel cutters are equidistantly mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate. A mounting and fixing assembly is provided between the movable plate and the mounting plate. This assembly includes two connecting blocks, two fixing sleeves, and two insert rods. Through the design of this mounting and fixing assembly, when the storage frame and mounting plate need to be replaced, the user can directly insert the two sets of positioning blocks at the bottom of the new storage frame. Insert the plate into the two sets of positioning slots, then put the two fixing sleeves on the top of the new mounting plate onto the two connecting blocks respectively. After inserting the rod horizontally between the connecting block and the fixing sleeve, the mounting plate can be installed and fixed with the fixing screws. This method can ensure that the length and thickness of the cut bread are consistent and can meet the slicing work of various bread sizes. No manual cutting is required, which ensures the health and safety of workers. However, in actual use, the blades of this equipment are fixedly connected. When it is necessary to adapt to different customers' requirements for bread slice thickness, the blades need to be changed frequently, which makes the operation time-consuming and laborious and seriously affects the production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a bread slicing device, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that requires frequent blade replacement when adapting to different bread slice thicknesses, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive operation and seriously affecting production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a bread slicing device, comprising a transmission belt, with fixed plates fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the transmission belt, and a U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the top of both fixed plates. Sliding grooves are provided at both ends of the inner top of the U-shaped plate, and sliding blocks are slidably connected inside both sliding grooves. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sliding blocks. Hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner front of the U-shaped plate, and the other ends of both hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the front of the horizontal plate. Telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the horizontal plate, and the other ends of both telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the same U-shaped frame. Multiple blades are equidistantly slidably connected to the inner top of the U-shaped frame, and corresponding connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the multiple blades. Multiple telescopic rods are equidistantly fixed to the front and rear sides of the inner side of the U-shaped frame, and the other ends of the multiple telescopic rods are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding connecting block. A guide mechanism is provided on the top right side of the fixed plate.

[0006] The above technical solution involves placing bread on a conveyor belt to move it forward when using the bread slicing equipment. When the blade position needs adjustment, hydraulic rod one is activated, extending and retracting to push the horizontal plate, constrained by the sliding block and sliding groove, to move smoothly left and right. Telescopic rod one, fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the horizontal plate, has a U-shaped frame connected to its other end that moves with the horizontal plate. Multiple blades, equidistantly slidable at the top inner side of the U-shaped frame, are key components for bread slicing. When the distance between the blades needs adjustment, telescopic rod two is operated, extending and retracting to push the connecting block, thus adjusting the distance between the blades. After adjusting the blade distance and position, telescopic rod one pushes the U-shaped frame downwards, causing the blades to descend and slice the bread into pieces of the required thickness and width, completing the bread slicing process.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The guiding mechanism includes two rotating rods. The bottom of the two rotating rods is fixedly connected to the top right side of the corresponding U-shaped plate. A guide plate is rotatably connected to one side of each of the two rotating rods. Fixed blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom right side of the U-shaped plate. Telescopic rods are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two fixed blocks. Rotating blocks are rotatably connected to adjacent ends of the two telescopic rods. Adjacent sides of the two rotating blocks are slidably connected to one side of the corresponding guide plate.

[0009] Through the above technical solution: when the position of the guide plate needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod three begins to function. The operator controls the extension and retraction length of the telescopic rod three to change the angle of its connection with the rotating block. The rotating block is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding guide plate. Therefore, as the telescopic rod three extends and retracts, the position of the rotating block changes, thereby pushing the guide plate to rotate around the rod. According to the size and shape of the bread and the slicing requirements, the operator can adjust the telescopic rod three, thereby adjusting the spacing between the guide plates. This ensures that the bread, driven by the conveyor belt, can be accurately guided along the guide plate to the area below the blade, thus achieving precise slicing of the bread and ensuring the quality and efficiency of slicing.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] An observation window is provided on the front side of the U-shaped plate, and a protective frame is fixedly connected to the front perimeter of the observation window.

[0012] The above technical solution allows operators to directly observe the slicing of bread inside the equipment during operation through the observation window on the front side of the U-shaped plate.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A switch is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the front side of the U-shaped plate. The switch is electrically connected to hydraulic rod one, telescopic rod one, telescopic rod two, hydraulic rod two, and telescopic rod three, respectively.

[0015] With the above technical solution, operators can easily control the start and stop of components and adjust their operating status by operating the switches.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] Hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the front and rear sides of the U-shaped plate, and clamping plates are fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two hydraulic rods.

[0018] The above technical solution works as follows: when it is necessary to fix the bread, the hydraulic rod 2 is activated, pushing the clamping plate towards the bread to stably hold the bread and prevent the bread from shifting during the slicing process.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The bottom of both fixed plates is fixedly connected to the same support frame, and support legs are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support frame.

[0021] The above technical solution can stably support the entire bread slicing equipment, ensuring that the equipment remains stable during operation and avoiding any impact on the slicing effect due to shaking or instability.

[0022] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0023] The two sliding grooves are provided with grooves on the left and right sides inside, and the two sliding blocks are fixedly connected to sliders on the left and right sides. The sliders are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding grooves.

[0024] The above technical solution allows the slider to slide within the groove, making the movement of the slider block within the groove smoother and more stable.

[0025] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0026] Each of the two rotating blocks has a fixed limit block on one side, and each of the two guide plates has a limit groove on one side. The two limit blocks are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding limit groove.

[0027] The above technical solution allows the limiting block to slide within the limiting groove as the guide plate rotates around the rotating rod, thus limiting the rotation range of the guide plate and preventing excessive rotation.

[0028] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. In this utility model, the bread is moved by the transmission belt, the hydraulic rod pushes the horizontal plate, and the connected telescopic rod and U-shaped frame move to adjust the position of the cutter. Then, the telescopic rod pushes the connecting block to adjust the cutter spacing. Finally, the telescopic rod pushes the U-shaped frame to descend and complete the slicing. This achieves efficient and precise slicing of bread, meets the slicing requirements of different thicknesses and widths, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0030] 2. In this utility model, the operator controls the telescopic rod to extend and retract three times, changing the connection angle between it and the rotating block, thereby changing the position of the rotating block and pushing the guide plate to rotate around the rotating rod. This adjusts the distance between the guide plates, enabling precise guidance of the bread to the bottom of the cutter according to the actual situation of the bread, ensuring slicing quality and efficiency, and meeting the needs of different bread slicing.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a bread slicing device, including a transmission belt 1 for carrying and conveying bread. Fixed plates 3 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear sides of the transmission belt 1, supporting the upper structure of the device. A U-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of both fixed plates 3, serving as the main support frame of the device. Sliding grooves 5 are provided at both ends of the inner top of the U-shaped plate 4, providing sliding tracks for sliding blocks 6. Sliding blocks 6 are slidably connected inside both sliding grooves 5, cooperating with the sliding grooves 5 to allow a horizontal plate 8 to move up and down. A horizontal plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of both sliding blocks 6, connecting other components and transmitting power. Hydraulic rods 7 are fixedly connected to both ends of the inner front side of the U-shaped plate 4, extending and retracting to move the horizontal plate 8 up and down. The other ends of both hydraulic rods 7 are fixedly connected to the front of the horizontal plate 8. Telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the horizontal plate 8, connecting the horizontal plate 8 and the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame 10 is used to adjust the height of the U-shaped frame 10. The other ends of the two telescopic rods 9 are fixedly connected to the same U-shaped frame 10. The U-shaped frame 10 is used to install the cutter 11. Multiple cutters 11 are equidistantly slidably connected to the top inner side of the U-shaped frame 10. The cutters 11 are used to cut bread. The left and right sides of the multiple cutters 11 are fixedly connected to corresponding connecting blocks 12. The connecting blocks 12 are used to connect the cutter 11 and the telescopic rod 13. Multiple telescopic rods 13 are equidistantly fixedly connected to the front and back sides of the U-shaped frame 10. The telescopic rods 13 adjust the distance between the cutters 11 by telescopic movement. The other ends of the multiple telescopic rods 13 are fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding connecting block 12. The top right side of the fixed plate 3 is provided with a guide mechanism 2. The guide mechanism 2 is used to guide the bread to move accurately under the cutter 11. The front side of the U-shaped plate 4 is provided with an observation window 15. The observation window 15 allows the operator to observe the bread slicing inside the equipment. The front perimeter of the observation window 15 is fixedly connected with a protective frame 16. The protective frame 16 is used to protect the observation window 15 from damage.

[0040] Specifically, when using the bread slicing equipment, the bread is placed on the conveyor belt 1, which moves the bread forward. When the position of the blade 11 needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic rod 7 is activated. The hydraulic rod 7 extends and retracts, pushing the horizontal plate 8 to move smoothly left and right under the constraint of the sliding block 6 and the sliding groove 5. The telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the horizontal plate 8. The other end of the telescopic rod 9 is connected to the U-shaped frame 10, which moves with the horizontal plate 8. The multiple blades 11 equidistantly slid on the top inner side of the U-shaped frame 10 are the key components for bread slicing. When the distance between the blades 11 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod 13 is operated. The telescopic rod 13 extends and retracts, pushing the connecting block 12, thereby adjusting the distance between the blades 11. After adjusting the distance and position of the blades 11, the telescopic rod 9 pushes the U-shaped frame 10 downward, causing the blades 11 to descend and cut the bread into slices of the required thickness and width, completing the bread slicing work. The observation window 15 on the front side of the U-shaped plate 4 allows the operator to directly observe the slicing of the bread inside the equipment during operation.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The guide mechanism 2 includes two rotating rods 201, which support the guide plate 202 and provide a fulcrum for its rotation. The bottom of the two rotating rods 201 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the corresponding U-shaped plate 4, thus achieving a stable connection between the guide mechanism 2 and the U-shaped plate 4. A guide plate 202 is rotatably connected to one side of each of the two rotating rods 201. The guide plate 202 can rotate around the rotating rod 201 to adjust the guiding angle of the bread. Fixed blocks 203 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom right side of the U-shaped plate 4. The fixed blocks 203 connect and fix the telescopic rods 204. Telescopic rods 204 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides of the two fixed blocks 203. The telescopic rods 204 adjust the rotation angle of the guide plate 202 by extending and retracting. Each of the two telescopic rods 204 has a rotating block 205 rotatably connected to one of its adjacent ends. The rotating block 205 converts the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod 204 into the rotation of the guide plate 202. The adjacent sides of the two rotating blocks 205 are slidably connected to the corresponding side of the guide plate 202 to ensure that the rotating blocks 205 can smoothly push the guide plate 202 to rotate. The side of each of the two rotating blocks 205 is fixedly connected to a limit block 24. The limit block 24 is used to limit the rotation range of the guide plate 202. The side of each of the two guide plates 202 has a limit groove 23. The limit groove 23 and the limit block 24 cooperate to limit the rotation range of the guide plate 202. The two limit blocks 24 are slidably connected to the inside of the corresponding limit groove 23, so that the guide plate 202 rotates smoothly within the limited range.

[0042] Specifically, when the position of the guide plate 202 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod 204 begins to function. The operator controls the extension and retraction length of the telescopic rod 204 to change the angle of its connection with the rotating block 205. The rotating block 205 is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding guide plate 202. Therefore, as the telescopic rod 204 extends and retracts, the position of the rotating block 205 changes, thereby pushing the guide plate 202 to rotate around the rotating rod 201. According to the size and shape of the bread and the slicing requirements, the operator can adjust the telescopic rod 204 to adjust the spacing between the guide plates 202, ensuring that the bread, driven by the conveyor belt 1, can be accurately guided along the guide plate 202 to the area below the cutter 11, thereby achieving precise slicing of the bread and ensuring the quality and efficiency of slicing. When the guide plate 202 rotates around the rotating rod 201, the limiting block 24 slides in the limiting groove 23, which can limit the rotation range of the guide plate 202 and prevent the guide plate 202 from rotating excessively.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A switch 14 is fixedly connected to the lower front side of the U-shaped plate 4, providing an entry point for equipment operation and control, facilitating personnel operation. The switch 14 is electrically connected to hydraulic rod 7, telescopic rod 9, telescopic rod 13, hydraulic rod 17, and telescopic rod 204, respectively, realizing centralized control of each power and adjustment component, and facilitating flexible adjustment of equipment operation. Hydraulic rods 17 are fixedly connected to the lower front and rear sides of the U-shaped plate 4, providing power to the clamping plate 18 through extension and retraction to perform clamping actions. The clamping plate 18 is fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two hydraulic rods 17, and the bread is stably clamped under the drive of the hydraulic rods 17 to prevent the bread from shifting during slicing. The bottoms of the two fixed plates 3 are fixed. The same support frame 19 is connected to form the bottom support structure of the entire equipment, bearing the overall weight of the equipment. Support legs 20 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 19 to ensure that the equipment is placed stably on the ground, ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation and preventing shaking. The two sliding grooves 5 have sliding grooves 21 on the left and right sides to provide sliding tracks for the sliders 22, reduce sliding friction, and ensure smooth movement. The two sliding blocks 6 have sliders 22 fixedly connected to the left and right sides, which cooperate with the sliding grooves 21 to assist the sliding blocks 6 in moving smoothly in the sliding grooves 5, ensuring the smooth operation of the connecting parts. Multiple sliders 22 are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding sliding grooves 21 to ensure that the horizontal plate 8 can move stably left and right.

[0044] Specifically, the operator can easily control the start and stop of the components and adjust their operating status by operating switch 14. When it is necessary to fix the bread, hydraulic rod 17 is activated, pushing clamping plate 18 to move towards the bread and hold it stably, preventing the bread from shifting during slicing. Support frame 19 can stably support the entire bread slicing equipment, ensuring that the equipment remains stable during operation and avoiding the slicing effect due to shaking or instability. Sliding block 22 slides in sliding groove 21, which makes the movement of sliding block 6 in sliding groove 5 smoother and more stable.

[0045] Working principle: When using the bread slicing equipment, the bread is placed on the conveyor belt 1, which moves the bread forward. When the position of the blade 11 needs to be adjusted, the hydraulic rod 7 is activated. The hydraulic rod 7 extends and retracts, pushing the horizontal plate 8 to move smoothly left and right under the constraint of the sliding block 6 and the sliding groove 5. The telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the horizontal plate 8. The other end of the telescopic rod 9 is connected to the U-shaped frame 10, which moves with the horizontal plate 8. Multiple blades 11 are equidistantly slidably connected to the top of the inner side of the U-shaped frame 10. This is the key component for bread slicing. When the distance between the blades 11 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod 13 is operated. The telescopic rod 13 extends and retracts, pushing the connecting block 12, thereby adjusting the distance between the blades 11. After the distance and position of the blades 11 are adjusted, the telescopic rod 9 pushes the U-shaped frame 10 downward, causing the blades 11 to descend and cut the bread into slices of the required thickness and width, thus completing the bread slicing work.

[0046] Furthermore, when the position of the guide plate 202 needs to be adjusted, the telescopic rod 204 begins to function. The operator controls the extension and retraction length of the telescopic rod 204 to change the angle of its connection with the rotating block 205. The rotating block 205 is slidably connected to one side of the corresponding guide plate 202. Therefore, as the telescopic rod 204 extends and retracts, the position of the rotating block 205 changes, thereby pushing the guide plate 202 to rotate around the rotating rod 201. According to the size and shape of the bread and the slicing requirements, the operator can adjust the telescopic rod 204 to adjust the spacing between the guide plates 202, ensuring that the bread, driven by the conveyor belt 1, can be accurately guided along the guide plate 202 to the area below the cutter 11, thereby achieving precise slicing of the bread and ensuring the quality and efficiency of slicing.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
