Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of meat processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a meat chopping machine for pre-cooked vegetable processing. Background Technology

[0002] Pre-cooked meals, also known as pre-prepared foods, generally refer to semi-finished or finished products made from various agricultural, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products as raw and auxiliary materials, along with seasonings and other auxiliary materials, through pre-selection, preparation, and other processes.

[0003] In the process of preparing ready-made dishes, meat needs to be chopped into pieces. Most of the existing meat chopping machines for ready-made dishes can only cut meat in one direction. Therefore, when meat needs to be cut in another direction, a second operation is required, which affects the efficiency of meat processing.

[0004] In addition, most of the blades in existing meat choppers for pre-cooked food processing are fixedly installed and cannot be flexibly adjusted according to needs, thus making it impossible to flexibly adjust the size of the chopped pieces. Utility Model Content

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 A meat chopping machine for pre-processed vegetables includes a frame 1, a support plate 2 on the frame 1, a fixed frame 3 above the frame 1, a first electric push rod 4 at the bottom of the fixed frame 3, an mounting plate 5 at the bottom of the first electric push rod 4, a first groove 6 on the mounting plate 5, a plurality of first sliders 7 in the first groove 6, a longitudinal cutter 8 at the bottom of each first slider 7, and a first movable adjustment structure between the first slider 7 and the mounting plate 5. A transverse cutter 9 is provided in front of the longitudinal cutter 8, a second slider 10 is provided on the transverse cutter 9, a second groove 11 is provided on the mounting plate 5 to cooperate with the second slider 10, and a second movable adjustment structure is provided between the second slider 10 and the mounting plate 5.

[0033] In this embodiment, the present invention provides a horizontal cutter 9 and a vertical cutter 8 that cooperate with each other at the bottom end of the mounting plate 5. This allows for simultaneous horizontal and vertical cutting of meat during the cutting process, improving the cutting effect of meat and thus improving the chopping effect of meat in the pre-cooked food processing.

[0034] More specifically, in this invention, the longitudinal cutter 8 is slidably mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate 5 through the cooperation of the first slider 7 and the first sliding groove 6. At the same time, a first movable adjustment structure is provided between the mounting plate 5 and the first slider 7. This allows the first slider 7 to be moved, adjusted, and locked within the first sliding groove 6, thereby enabling the longitudinal cutter 8 to be moved and adjusted at the mounting position at the bottom end of the mounting plate 5, thus adjusting the chopping of meat pieces in pre-cooked dishes.

[0035] Furthermore, this utility model provides a transverse cutter 9 in front of the longitudinal cutter 8, and a second slider 10 is provided on the transverse cutter 9. A second groove 11 is provided on the mounting plate 5 to cooperate with the second slider 10. A second movable adjustment structure is provided between the second slider 10 and the mounting plate 5. In this way, the transverse cutter 9 can be moved, adjusted and locked at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 through the cooperation of the second slider 10, the second groove 11 and the second movable adjustment structure. This allows for the adjustment of the transverse cutting position during the processing of meat pieces in pre-cooked dishes, and the size of the meat pieces can be flexibly adjusted.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As one embodiment of a meat chopper for pre-cooked food processing: a second electric push rod 12 is provided at the front end of the first electric push rod 4, and a pressure plate 13 is provided at the bottom end of the second electric push rod 12 in conjunction with the mounting plate 5.

[0037] Specifically, the second electric push rod 12 is activated, which controls the pressure plate 13 to descend. The pressure plate 13 can press and fix the meat pieces to be chopped, thereby improving the stability of chopping and cutting meat during processing.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As one embodiment of the first movable adjustment structure: the first movable adjustment structure includes a first adjustment groove 14 extending outward along the first slide groove 6, a first adjustment post 15 threaded on the first slider 7, the tail of the first adjustment post 15 extending to the outside of the first adjustment groove 14, and a first locking knob 16 provided thereon.

[0039] Specifically, loosening the first locking knob 16 allows the first adjusting column 15 to move within the first adjusting groove 14, thereby allowing the first slider 7 to move within the first sliding groove 6. The movement of the first slider 7 can drive the movement of the longitudinal cutter 8, thereby adjusting the installation position of the longitudinal cutter 8 on the mounting plate 5 and adjusting the longitudinal chopping distance.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4As one embodiment of the second movable adjustment structure: the second movable adjustment structure includes a second adjustment groove 17 extending outward along the second slide groove 11, a second adjustment post 18 threaded on the second slider 10, the tail of the second adjustment post 18 extending to the outside of the second adjustment groove 17, and a second locking knob 19 provided thereon.

[0041] Specifically, loosening the second locking knob 19 allows the second adjusting column 18 to move within the second adjusting groove 17, thereby allowing the second slider 10 to move within the second sliding groove 11. The movement of the second slider 10 can drive the movement of the transverse cutter 9, thereby adjusting the installation position of the transverse cutter 9 on the mounting plate 5 and adjusting the transverse chopping distance.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As one embodiment of the support plate 2: a feeding guide frame 20 is provided at the tail of the support plate 2.

[0043] Specifically, it enables the feeding of meat into pre-cooked dishes after it has been chopped into pieces.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As one embodiment of a meat chopper for pre-cooked vegetables: two sets of conveying rollers 21 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1 at the front end of the support plate 2, and a motor 22 is provided on the conveying rollers 21 for transmission connection, and a conveyor belt 23 is sleeved between the two sets of conveying rollers 21.

[0045] Specifically, starting the motor 22 controls the rotation of the conveyor roller 21, which in turn controls the movement of the conveyor belt 23, thereby achieving automatic feeding during the meat chopping process in pre-cooked dishes.

[0046] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As one embodiment of the mounting plate 5: a connecting plate 24 is provided at the bottom end of the first electric push rod 4, and an elastic connector 25 is provided between the connecting plate 24 and the mounting plate 5;

[0047] The elastic connector 25 includes a limiting telescopic rod 26 disposed between the connecting plate 24 and the mounting plate 5, and a spring 27 is sleeved on the outer side of the limiting telescopic rod 26.

[0048] Specifically, the installation plate 5 can be elastically connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 24 by the cooperation of the limiting telescopic rod 26 and the spring 27. This can buffer the longitudinal cutter 8 and the transverse cutter 9 when cutting meat, thereby improving the protection effect of the longitudinal cutter 8 and the transverse cutter 9 when cutting pre-cooked vegetables and meat, reducing the rigid collision between the bottom of the longitudinal cutter 8 and the transverse cutter 9 and the support plate 2, and improving the protection effect of the cutter during the cutting process.

[0049] Here, spring 27 can be selected according to the usage requirements to avoid the reciprocating movement of the tool when there is no external force. The production of spring products is a mature existing technology and is also known in the field. Those skilled in the art should know this. The selection of appropriate springs will not be elaborated here.

[0050] The aforementioned elastic structure can absorb the impact force during the cutting process, reduce the rigid collision between the tool and hard parts such as bone and fascia, reduce the risk of chipping and rolling, and extend the service life of the tool.

[0051] The elastic deformation of the spring allows the blade to retract slightly when it encounters cartilage, frozen meat, or meat of uneven thickness, avoiding jamming and ensuring a smooth and stable cutting process.

[0052] The limiting telescopic rod constrains the elastic stroke of the cutter, allowing it to float within a controllable range. This not only adapts to localized changes in the hardness of the meat but also ensures the uniformity of the cutting thickness (such as standardized processing of bacon, meat slices, etc.).

[0053] Furthermore, the flexible installation reduces the rigid connection between the tool and the transmission mechanism, effectively suppressing high-frequency vibration, reducing operating noise, and improving the working environment;

[0054] Meanwhile, when the tool accidentally encounters a metal foreign object (such as bone fragments or tag nails), the elastic structure can partially buffer the impact force, reducing the risk of sudden equipment stoppage or damage to parts.

[0055] Spring buffers maintain moderate pressure when the knife contacts the meat, preventing excessive compression or tearing of muscle fibers due to instantaneous rigid impact. This is especially beneficial for tender meats (such as fish and tenderloin), reducing juice loss and maintaining meat integrity.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As one embodiment of the mounting plate 5: the outer side of the mounting plate 5 is provided with protective baffles 28 in conjunction with the first adjustment groove 14 and the second adjustment groove 17, and the protective baffles 28 are fixed to the mounting plate 5 by bolts.

[0057] Specifically, the protective baffle 28 can block the outer edges of the first adjustment groove 14 and the second adjustment groove 17, thereby improving the installation stability of the first slider 7 in the first slide groove 6 and the second slider 10 in the second slide groove 11.

[0058] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0059] Meat that needs to be chopped during the pre-cooked food processing is placed on the conveyor belt 23. The conveyor roller 21 is rotated by the motor 22 to move the conveyor belt 23, thereby conveying the meat on the conveyor belt 23.

[0060] When the meat to be cut is transported to the support plate 2, the second electric push rod 12 is activated. The second electric push rod 12 can control the pressure plate 13 to descend, so as to press and fix the meat to be chopped during the chopping process, so that some of the meat extends out of the pressure plate 13.

[0061] The first electric push rod 4 is activated, which controls the connecting plate 24 to descend. The connecting plate 24 drives the elastic connecting member 25 to descend. The elastic connecting member 25 controls the mounting plate 5 to descend. The mounting plate 5 drives the transverse cutter 9 and the longitudinal cutter 8 to descend, thereby enabling the transverse cutter 9 and the longitudinal cutter 8 to cut the meat.

[0062] After a set of cuts is completed, the mounting plate 5 and the clamping plate 13 are raised and further conveyed by the conveyor belt 23 to carry out the next round of cutting.

[0063] In this invention, the longitudinal cutter 8 is slidably mounted on the bottom end of the mounting plate 5 through the cooperation of the first slider 7 and the first sliding groove 6. At the same time, a first movable adjustment structure is provided between the mounting plate 5 and the first slider 7, so that the first slider 7 can be moved and adjusted and locked in the first sliding groove 6. This allows the longitudinal cutter 8 to be moved and adjusted at the mounting position at the bottom end of the mounting plate 5, thereby adjusting the chopping of meat pieces in pre-cooked dishes.

[0064] Meanwhile, this utility model provides a transverse cutter 9 in front of the longitudinal cutter 8, and a second slider 10 is provided on the transverse cutter 9. A second groove 11 is provided on the mounting plate 5 to cooperate with the second slider 10. A second movable adjustment structure is provided between the second slider 10 and the mounting plate 5. In this way, the transverse cutter 9 can be moved, adjusted and locked at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 through the cooperation of the second slider 10, the second groove 11 and the second movable adjustment structure. This allows for the adjustment of the transverse cutting position during the processing of meat pieces in pre-cooked dishes, and the size of the meat pieces can be flexibly adjusted.

[0065] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
