Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of splitting machine technology, and in particular to an automatic splitting machine for pig trotters. Background Technology

[0002] Pig trotters, as a food rich in collagen, are in high demand in the food processing industry. Cutting them in half during the pre-processing stage is a key step to improve the efficiency of subsequent cooking or deep processing.

[0003] A typical automatic pig trotter splitting machine usually consists of a support frame, transmission components, and positioning components. The position of the pig trotter is initially fixed by mechanical limiting, and then the saw blade is used to align and split it in half.

[0004] However, the positioning plates and support baffles of the existing devices are mostly rigid structures, which are difficult to adapt to the irregular contours of pig hooves and are prone to clamping deviation, causing the cutting line to deviate from the central axis. In addition, the device needs to be disassembled when cleaning is required, but most parts are difficult to disassemble, resulting in a long cleaning time and affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic pig trotter splitting machine, which aims to improve the problems in the existing technology, such as clamping offset and cutting line deviation caused by the strong rigidity and poor adaptability of the positioning structure, as well as the difficulty in disassembling parts and the time-consuming cleaning that affects production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An automatic pig trotter splitting machine includes a frame, an operating platform mounted on the top of the frame, support baffles slidably connected to the left and right sides of the top of the operating platform, a positioning plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the support baffles, a plurality of evenly distributed springs fixedly connected to the outer side of the support baffles, a centering plate fixedly connected to the front end of each spring, a limit guide plate fixedly connected to the top of the rear side of the centering plate, and an adjustment component provided inside the centering plate. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment screw, which is rotatably connected inside the centering plate. A pressing plate is slidably connected to the right side of the centering plate, and a plurality of evenly distributed transmission blocks are fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate. As a further description of the above technical solution: Limit blocks are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the front of the operating platform. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of the limit block. A spring is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pull plate. A locking block is slidably connected to the front of the operating platform. A push plate is fixedly connected to the top of the locking block. A push rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the push plate. As a further description of the above technical solution: The limiting block abuts against the outside of the positioning plate, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the operating platform; As a further description of the above technical solution: The rear part of the limiting guide plate is slidably connected to the top side inside the support baffle, the positioning plate is slidably connected to the inside of the operating platform, and the bottom side of the centering plate abuts against the top of the operating platform. As a further description of the above technical solution: The transmission block is slidably connected inside the centering plate, and the adjusting screw is threadedly connected inside the middle transmission block; As a further description of the above technical solution: The frame is rotatably connected with vertically distributed transmission wheels. A drive motor is installed on the bottom side of the frame. The drive end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft. The front end of the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the inside of the transmission wheels. As a further description of the above technical solution: The front of the frame is hinged with a door, and a saw blade is sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel; As a further description of the above technical solution: The front part of the centering plate is sloping.

[0007] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, a spring on the outer side of the support baffle is connected to the centering plate. The elastic buffering characteristics of the spring are used to achieve flexible adaptation to the irregular contour of the pig hoof. The inclined surface design at the front of the centering plate can naturally guide the pig hoof to be placed in the center. At the same time, the threaded engagement between the adjusting screw and the transmission block in the adjusting component can drive the extrusion plate to accurately adjust the clamping range. Combined with the sliding guiding effect of the limiting guide plate on the support baffle, the displacement of the pig hoof during the cutting process is effectively limited, and the positioning stability is significantly improved.

[0008] In this invention, the sliding connection between the support baffle and the operating platform, and the sliding cooperation of the positioning plate inside the operating platform, make it easy to slide and disassemble the positioning components. At the same time, the hinge structure between the frame and the door, and the sleeve connection between the transmission wheel and the saw blade, reduce the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the components in the cutting area, and greatly shorten the time for disassembly and assembly of components during the cleaning process.

[0011] 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.

[0012] Reference Figures 1-6This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic pig trotter splitting machine, comprising a frame 1, which supports all components and ensures overall stability. An operating platform 7 is mounted on the top of the frame 1, providing a flat work surface for placing and processing pig trotters. Supporting baffles 8 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the top of the operating platform 7, providing support for the positioning structure. A positioning plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting baffle 8, rigidly connected to the supporting baffle 8 and capable of synchronous movement. The positioning plate 9 is slidably connected inside the operating platform 7, guiding the movement of the supporting baffle 8 by sliding within the operating platform 7, ensuring the supporting baffle 8 is smoothly adjusted along a straight line. Multiple evenly distributed springs are fixedly connected to the outer side of the supporting baffle 8. Spring 10 can absorb the impact force when the pig's hoof is placed by its own deformation. The front end of spring 10 is fixedly connected to centering plate 12. Centering plate 12 directly contacts the pig's hoof to achieve positioning. The front part of centering plate 12 is inclined. The inclined design can be guided by the pig's hoof to slide to the middle position to achieve automatic centering and reduce manual alignment operation. The bottom side of centering plate 12 abuts against the top of operating platform 7. The rear top of centering plate 12 is fixedly connected to limit guide plate 11. Limit guide plate 11 is used to limit the movement direction of centering plate 12. The rear part of limit guide plate 11 is slidably connected to the top inside of support baffle 8. By sliding inside support baffle 8, centering plate 12 is further constrained to only move smoothly in the front and back direction. Adjustment components are provided inside centering plate 12. The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment screw 13, which is rotatably connected inside the centering plate 12. The adjustment screw 13 can convert rotational motion into linear driving force by rotation. A pressing plate 15 is slidably connected to the right side of the centering plate 12. The pressing plate 15 directly contacts the pig's hoof and applies clamping force. Multiple evenly distributed transmission blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate 15. The transmission blocks 14 are used to transmit the power of the adjustment screw 13 to the pressing plate 15. The transmission blocks 14 are slidably connected inside the centering plate 12. The adjustment screw 13 is threadedly connected inside the middle transmission block 14. Through the threaded engagement, when the adjustment screw 13 rotates, it can drive the transmission block 14 to move up and down, thereby driving the pressing plate 15 to adjust the clamping height. Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5Limit blocks 19 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the front of the operating platform 7. The limit blocks 19 can be adjusted to lock the positioning plate 9 by sliding. A pull plate 20 is fixedly connected to the rear of the limit blocks 19, which allows the operator to pull the limit blocks 19 backward. A second spring 21 is fixedly connected to the rear of the pull plate 20. The second spring 21 provides a continuous forward pushing force to the limit blocks 19 through its own elasticity, ensuring that the limit blocks 19 tightly abut against the positioning plate 9. A locking block 17 is slidably connected to the front of the operating platform 7. The locking block 17 is mainly responsible for stabilizing the forward path of the push plate 16 and keeping it in place during movement. Stable, the top of the card block 17 is fixedly connected to the push plate 16, which directly contacts the pig's hoof and does not require manual support, reducing the danger during cutting. The back of the push plate 16 is fixedly connected to the push rod 18, which is mainly for the operator to manually support and push the push plate 16 to push the pig's hoof forward. The limiting block 19 abuts against the outside of the positioning plate 9. The limiting block 19 limits the maximum movement distance of the positioning plate 9 by abutting and preventing excessive slippage. The other end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the operating platform 7, and the fixed inside of the operating platform 7 provides a stable force support point for the spring 21.

[0013] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 1 has a rotating drive wheel 3 distributed vertically. The drive wheel 3 drives the saw blade 6 to rotate in a circular motion, which is the component that transmits the cutting power. The drive motor 4 is installed on the bottom side of the frame 1. The drive motor 4 is the power source of the equipment. The drive end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 5. The front end of the drive shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drive wheel 3. The drive shaft 5 drives the drive wheel 3 to rotate synchronously. The front of the frame 1 is hinged to the door 2. The door 2 can be opened and closed flexibly by hinge, which makes it convenient for operators to open and clean or replace the internal drive wheel 3, saw blade 6 and other components. The saw blade 6 is sleeved on the outside of the drive wheel 3. The saw blade 6 directly contacts the pig's hoof through high-speed circulating motion and completes the halving action with its sharp edge.

[0014] Working principle: When the pig's hoof is placed on the operating platform 7, the inclined surface at the front of the centering plate 12 guides the pig's hoof to slide towards the center position. During the process, the spring 10 buffers the impact force of the pig's hoof through deformation, and at the same time uses elastic force to push the centering plate 12 to conform to the outline of the pig's hoof, achieving initial positioning. The operator can rotate the adjusting screw 13, which drives the transmission block 14 to slide inside the centering plate 12 through the threaded engagement, driving the extrusion plate 15 to adjust the clamping height to adapt to different pig hoof thicknesses. At this time, the limiting guide plate 11 slides inside the support baffle 8, constraining the centering plate 12 to move smoothly in the front and back direction. Meanwhile, the positioning plate 9, in conjunction with the limiting block 19, is abutted and limited by the elastic force of the spring 21 to prevent the support baffle 8 from moving, ultimately forming a stable clamping state.

[0015] After positioning is completed, the drive motor 4 starts, and its power is transmitted to the upper and lower distributed transmission wheels 3 through the transmission shaft 5, causing the transmission wheels 3 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the saw blade 6 sleeved on the outside to circulate at high speed, forming a cutting action. The operator pushes the push plate 16, which drives the locking block 17 to slide in front of the operating platform 7 through the push rod 18. The locking block 17 stabilizes the pushing path of the push plate 16, causing the push plate 16 to push the pig hoof towards the saw blade 6. During the cutting process, the door 2 is in the closed state, providing protection for the saw blade 6 and the transmission wheels 3.

[0016] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
