[0027] 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.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a steak cutting mechanism. A material trough 1.1 is longitudinally arranged in the center of the top surface of a base 1, and an installation cavity 1.3 is located below the material trough 1.1. A sleeve hole 1.2 is provided in the center of the rear wall of the material trough 1.1. A longitudinally extending discharge chute 1.4 is fixed to the bottom of the front wall of the base 1. The bottom surface of the discharge chute 1.4 is an inclined surface, lower in the front and higher in the back, to facilitate smooth discharge. The material trough 1.1 is used to hold the beef to be cut, and to ensure food hygiene, the inner wall of the material trough 1.1 is lined with a layer of 316 stainless steel.
[0029] The pushing assembly 2 is installed longitudinally at the rear of the material trough 1.1 and is used to push the beef to be cut forward; wherein, the pushing assembly 2 includes a pushing telescopic cylinder 2.1 with the front end of the piston cylinder fixed to the rear wall of the base 1 and the piston rod slidably sleeved in the sleeve hole 1.2, and a pushing plate 2.2 sleeved on the front end of the piston rod of the pushing telescopic cylinder 2.1.
[0030] The rotary cutting assembly 3 includes a fixed base 3.1 fixed to the front end of the bottom center of the mounting cavity 1.3, a rotary cutting motor 3.2 fixed to the rear wall of the fixed base 3.1 and rotatably connected to the fixed base 3.1 with its power output shaft, and a blade 3.3 fixedly mounted on the front end of the power output shaft of the rotary cutting motor 3.2. The rotary cutting motor 3.2 is a servo motor, controlled by a microcontroller or PLC. Precise intermittent control is achieved by programming the servo motor's running and stopping times to ensure that the rotary cutting motor 3.2 rotates intermittently in a full circle. That is, after each rotation of the rotary cutting motor 3.2, a steak is sliced once, and then the pushing assembly 2 uses this pause time to push the beef forward once.
[0031] A fixed circular plate 4 is fixed to the top of the front wall of the base 1. A rectangular opening 4.1 is provided on the fixed circular plate 4 corresponding to the position of the material trough 1.1. A shaft hole 4.2 is provided at the center of the fixed circular plate 4 for rotating with the power output shaft of the rotary cutting motor 3.2. The fixed circular plate 4 is fixed to the front wall of the base 1 using hexagonal socket head cap screws and countersunk holes to ensure the flatness of the front wall of the fixed circular plate 4. This ensures that when the rear wall of the blade 3.3 is in contact with the front wall of the fixed circular plate 4, one side of the blade 3.3 can rotate along the plane of the front wall of the fixed circular plate 4. Additionally, the bottom end of the fixed circular plate 4 has a slot 4.3 for engaging with the top of the rear end of the discharge chute 1.4.
[0032] The outer edge of the rear end of the disc cover 5 is fixed to the outer edge of the front wall of the fixed circular plate 4, and the bottom of the disc cover 5 is provided with a groove 5.1. The groove 5.1 is engaged with the rear top of the discharge chute 1.4. A connecting ring 5.3 is fixed to the rear end of the outer peripheral wall of the disc cover 5, and the connecting ring 5.3 is fixed to the outer edge of the front wall of the fixed circular plate 4 with screws.
[0033] To achieve flexible adjustment of the steak slicing thickness, the disc cover 5 is equipped with a slicing thickness adjustment component 6 corresponding to the rectangular opening 4.1. The front wall of the disc cover 5 has a through hole 5.2 directly opposite the center of the rectangular opening 4.1. The slicing thickness adjustment component 6 includes a nut 6.1 fixed to the front wall of the disc cover 5 and located at the outer edge of the through hole 5.2; a lead screw 6.2 threaded onto the nut 6.1 and passing through the through hole 5.2; a positioning plate 6.3 fitted at the center of the front wall to the rear end of the lead screw 6.2; and a crank handle 6.4 fixedly fitted to the front end of the lead screw 6.2. That is, by rotating the lead screw 6.2 with the crank handle 6.4, the lead screw 6.2 moves back and forth relative to the nut 6.1, adjusting the vertical distance between the rear wall of the positioning plate 6.3 and the front wall of the fixed disc 4. Each time the pushing component 2 pushes the beef forward, the front end of the beef abuts against the rear wall of the positioning plate 6.3, thus facilitating flexible adjustment of the steak slicing thickness.
[0034] In summary, when cutting steak, first use the thickness adjustment component 6 to set the cutting thickness of the steak;
[0035] The beef to be cut is placed in the feed trough 1.1, and the pusher telescopic cylinder 2.1 pushes the beef forward through the pusher plate 2.2 until the front end of the beef abuts against the rear wall of the positioning plate 6.3.
[0036] The rotary cutting motor 3.2 drives the blade 3.3 to rotate at high speed for one revolution, which completes the steak cutting operation. The cut steaks fall from the slot 5.1 into the discharge chute 1.4 and slide forward along the discharge chute 1.4 to complete the discharge process. This process is repeated until the whole piece of beef is cut into several steaks.
