Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable jujube cake cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sour jujube cake, also known as Leizao, is one of the traditional local delicacies of Jiangxi Province. It is made from wild jujube plants. Sour jujube cake is transparent in color, beautiful like amber, sweet and sour, and rich in nutrients. After the sour jujube cake is made, it needs to be cut into even pieces for the next step of packaging.

[0003] Sour jujube cake typically contains a large amount of sugar (such as maltose and white sugar) and natural pectin. After cooling, it has a soft and glutinous texture. A search of existing technology reveals that Chinese patent application number CN201922489803.9 discloses "a device for uniformly cutting sour jujube cake, comprising several cutting devices, a worktable, and a tray. The cutting devices are set on the worktable, and the tray is set on the worktable surface. The cutting devices include several cutting units, support columns A and B, several connecting units, and a cutting band. The cutting band is composed of cutting units and connecting units. The connecting units have a similar structure to the cutting units, except that the connecting units do not have blades on their large end sidewalls. The cutting band is positioned between support columns A and B. The number of connecting units and cutting units in the cutting band can be selected according to actual needs, allowing for flexible increases or decreases in the cuttable area. Swapping the positions of the cutting units and connecting units on the cutting band allows for the translation of the blades. Cutting is achieved by pushing the cutting device, resulting in uniform cutting." However, the following shortcomings still exist:

[0004] (1) After the sugar is cut into pieces, the cut surfaces tend to stick together due to the hygroscopicity of the sugar and the stickiness of the gum, making them difficult to separate. They need to be manually handled during packaging, but forcibly breaking them apart can damage the structure, affecting the packaging efficiency and increasing the defect rate.

[0005] Therefore, we made improvements and proposed an adjustable jujube cake cutting machine. Utility Model Content

This requires manual handling during packaging, but forcibly breaking them apart can damage the structure, affecting packaging efficiency and increasing the defect rate.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An adjustable jujube cake cutter was developed to address the aforementioned issues.

[0009] The present invention is as follows:

[0010] Includes a frame and a belt conveyor mounted in the middle of the frame, and also includes,

[0011] An inverted U-shaped plate, the vertical section of which is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the middle part of the frame;

[0012] A dicing assembly, installed on the horizontal section of an inverted U-shaped plate, is used to dic the jujube cake.

[0013] A slit widening assembly is symmetrically installed at both ends of the cutting assembly to widen the slit at the cut.

[0014] An inverted L-shaped support plate is symmetrically installed on the outer side wall of the frame;

[0015] A powder-sprinkling component is installed between two sets of inverted L-shaped support plates to sprinkle powder into the gaps of the cut surface of the jujube cake, thereby preventing the cut surface of the jujube cake from sticking together.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the powder spreading assembly includes a powder box fixedly installed between two sets of inverted L-shaped support plates, a cover plate hinged to the top of the powder box, a vibrator fixedly installed on the outer wall of the powder box, a feeding trough evenly opened at the bottom of the powder box, a screen fixedly installed on the wall of the feeding trough, and a guide frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the powder box and evenly distributed, wherein the guide frame, the screen and the feeding trough are on the same vertical line.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cutting assembly includes an L-shaped bracket fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal section of the inverted U-shaped plate, a first electric telescopic rod fixedly installed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped bracket and extending downward through the inverted U-shaped plate, a mounting frame fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod, limiting rods fixedly arranged between the frame and the inverted U-shaped plate and symmetrically distributed, sleeves fixedly arranged at both ends of the mounting frame and slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod, sliding rods fixedly and symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the mounting frame, a cutter seat evenly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod, and a cutter detachably installed on the cutter seat by bolts.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cutter seat includes a head cutter seat, a middle cutter seat and a tail cutter seat.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a controller is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inverted U-shaped plate, and the controller is electrically connected to the vibrator, the belt conveyor, the first electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the material spreading area of ​​the guide frame is consistent with the gap at the cut.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0023] In the solution of this utility model:

[0024] 1. The extension and retraction of the second electric telescopic rod drives the X-shaped connecting rod to move, thereby adjusting the positions of the adjacent middle and tail cutter seats. At the same time, by installing a vibrator on the outer wall of the powder box, the powder inside the powder box vibrates, and after being screened by the screen, it falls evenly from the feeding chute, and is then accurately sprinkled into the gaps of the jujube cake cut by the guide frame. This achieves the goal of first widening the gaps at the cut, and then accurately sprinkling the powder into the gaps of the jujube cake cut. This solves the problem in the existing technology that after the pieces are cut, the cut surfaces are easy to stick together due to the hygroscopicity of sugar and the stickiness of the gum, making them difficult to separate. Manual handling is required during packaging, but forcibly breaking them apart can damage the structure, affecting the packaging efficiency and increasing the defect rate.

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable jujube cake cutting machine, including a frame 1 and a belt conveyor 2 installed in the middle of the frame 1, and also includes...

[0038] The vertical section of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the middle part of the frame 1;

[0039] Cutting component 4 is installed on the horizontal section of the inverted U-shaped plate 3 and is used to cut the jujube cake into pieces;

[0040] The slit widening assembly 5 is symmetrically installed at both ends of the cutting assembly 4 to widen the slit at the cut.

[0041] Inverted L-shaped support plates 6 are symmetrically installed on the outer side wall of the frame 1;

[0042] The powder-sprinkling component 7 is installed between two sets of inverted L-shaped support plates 6. It is used to sprinkle powder on the gaps of the cut surface of the jujube cake, thereby preventing the cut surface of the jujube cake from sticking.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the powdering component 7 further includes a powder box 701 fixedly installed between two sets of inverted L-shaped support plates 6, a cover plate 702 hinged to the top of the powder box 701, a vibrator 703 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the powder box 701, a feeding trough 704 evenly opened at the bottom of the powder box 701, a screen 705 fixedly installed on the wall of the feeding trough 704, and a guide frame 706 fixedly installed at the bottom of the powder box 701 and evenly distributed. The guide frame 706, the screen 705, and the feeding trough 704 are on the same vertical line, which can effectively prevent the cut surface of the jujube cake from sticking together.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the cutting assembly 4 further includes an L-shaped bracket 401 fixedly installed at the top of the horizontal section of the inverted U-shaped plate 3, a first electric telescopic rod 402 fixedly installed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped bracket 401 and extending downward through the inverted U-shaped plate 3, a mounting frame 403 fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 402, a limiting rod 404 fixedly disposed between the frame 1 and the inverted U-shaped plate 3 and symmetrically distributed, a sleeve 405 fixedly disposed at both ends of the mounting frame 403 and slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 404, a sliding rod 406 fixedly and symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the mounting frame 403, a cutter seat 407 evenly connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 406, and a cutter 408 detachably installed on the cutter seat 407 by bolts, which can cut the jujube cake into pieces.

[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the cutter holder 407 further includes a head cutter holder 4071, a middle cutter holder 4072, and a tail cutter holder 4073. A fixing block 8 is fixedly connected between the head cutter holder 4071 and the mounting frame 403. The middle cutter holder 4072 and the tail cutter holder 4073 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 406. The head cutter holder 4071 is fixed by the fixing block 8.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the seam widening assembly 5 further includes X-shaped connecting rods 501 that are rotatably connected between adjacent first cutter seats 4071, middle cutter seats 4072 and tail cutter seats 4073 and are evenly distributed, and a second electric telescopic rod 502 that is fixedly installed on the end of the mounting frame 403 away from the first cutter seat 4071 and is symmetrically distributed. The telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 502 is connected to the center of a set of X-shaped connecting rods 501 near the tail cutter seat 4073, which can widen the gap at the cut of the jujube cake and prepare for the subsequent powdering operation.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, a controller 9 is further fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inverted U-shaped plate 3. The controller 9 is electrically connected to the vibrator 703, the belt conveyor 2, the first electric telescopic rod 402 and the second electric telescopic rod 502, and is controlled by the controller 9.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the material spreading area of ​​the guide frame 706 is consistent with the gap at the cut, which can accurately spread the powder at the gap of the jujube cake cut.

[0049] Specifically, when using this adjustable jujube cake cutting machine: first, place the jujube cake neatly on the belt conveyor 2 in the middle of the frame 1, then open the cover 702 on the top of the powder box 701 in the powdering component 7, add an appropriate amount of anti-sticking powder, such as glutinous rice flour or sugar powder, into the powder box 701, and close the cover 702 to prevent the powder from getting damp or spilling out.

[0050] The belt conveyor 2 is started by the controller 9, and the belt conveyor 2 starts to run, smoothly conveying the jujube cake towards the cutting component 4;

[0051] When the jujube cake is conveyed to the area directly below the cutting assembly 4, the belt conveyor 2 stops, and the controller 9 issues a command to control the first electric telescopic rod 402 to extend. Its telescopic end drives the mounting frame 403 to move downward. As the mounting frame 403 descends, the cutter 408 cuts the jujube cake into horizontal strips. After the strips are cut, the controller 9 controls the first electric telescopic rod 402 to retract, driving the cutter 408 to rise back to the initial position, waiting for the next cutting operation.

[0052] After the strips are cut, the controller 9 controls the second electric telescopic rod 502 to retract. When the second electric telescopic rod 502 extends or retracts, it drives the X-shaped connecting rod 501 to move, thereby causing the adjacent middle cutter seat 4072 and tail cutter seat 4073 to move towards the second electric telescopic rod 502. The cutter 408 installed on the middle cutter seat 4072 and tail cutter seat 4073 pushes the jujube cake to move laterally after the strips are cut, thereby widening the gap at the cut of the jujube cake and preparing for the subsequent powdering operation.

[0053] Once the gap in the jujube cake cut has widened to a suitable extent, the controller 9 activates the vibrator 703, which vibrates the powder in the powder box 701. The screened powder falls from the feeding trough 704. Since the sprinkling area of ​​the guide frame 706 is consistent with the gap at the cut, the powder can be accurately sprinkled at the gap of the jujube cake cut, effectively preventing the cut surface of the jujube cake from sticking.

[0054] The belt conveyor 2 continues to operate, transporting the jujube cake that has been cut into strips, widened, and sprinkled with powder away. The jujube cake that has been cut into strips is then transported to the bottom of the cutting component 4 (the tray of jujube cake needs to be rotated 90 degrees). The above cutting, widening, and powdering operations are repeated to vertically cut the jujube cake until the jujube cake is cut into pieces.

[0055] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0056] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
