[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] The terms used in this utility model, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one", are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0016] Reference Figures 1-2 The cutting equipment includes a platform 1. Two pairs of mounting plates are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the platform 1. A drive roller 2 is horizontally rotatably mounted between one pair of mounting plates, and a tension roller 3 is horizontally rotatably mounted between the other pair of mounting plates. A belt 4 is wound around the drive roller 2 and the tension roller 3. An L-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the belt 4. A placement plate 6 is fixedly mounted on the L-shaped plate 5 via mounting components. Figure 3 As shown, the mounting components include two locking bolts 15. Threaded holes 16 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the L-shaped plate 5. The two locking bolts 15 are respectively threaded into the two threaded holes 16. Mounting blocks 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting plate 6. The surface of the mounting blocks 17 is provided with through holes 18 for the locking bolts 15 to pass through. When the mounting plate 6 needs to be installed, the mounting plate 6 is first placed on the surface of the L-shaped plate 5, and the two through holes 18 are aligned with the positions of the two threaded holes 16. Then, the two locking bolts 15 are passed through the two through holes 18 and into the two threaded holes 16 and tightened. When disassembly is required, simply turn the locking bolts 15 so that their ends are removed from the threaded holes 16. A drive motor 27 is fixedly installed on the surface of one of the mounting plates, and the output shaft of the drive motor 27 is fixedly connected to the power roller 2.

[0017] Two sets of telescopic cylinders 7 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the platform 1. A mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the top of the drive shaft of each set of telescopic cylinders 7. Multiple rotating openings are equidistantly provided on the surface of the mounting plate 8. Rotating rods 9 are rotatably installed within each rotating opening. A U-shaped block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 9. A mounting shaft is horizontally fixedly installed within the U-shaped block. A cutting blade 10 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting shaft. A threaded groove 11 is provided at the top of the rotating rod 9. Threaded rods 12 are threadedly installed within the threaded groove 11. A horizontal plate 13 is fixedly installed at the top of the multiple threaded rods 12. The horizontal plate 13 moves vertically as controlled by a drive assembly. The device includes an electric telescopic rod 19 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 8. The drive shaft of the electric telescopic rod 19 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 13. The upper surface of the placement plate 6 has multiple slots 14 for inserting the bottom ends of multiple cutting blades 10. The surface of the platform 1 is equipped with a controller. The drive motor 27, the telescopic cylinder 7, and the electric telescopic rod 19 are all electrically connected to the controller (the controller is disclosed in the patent with publication number CN114536436A and patent name "An Adaptive Feedback Irregular Flexible Material Cutting Device", which belongs to the prior art and its working principle will not be described in detail here).

[0018] Place the bean curd strips to be cut on the upper surface of the placement plate 6, then start the drive motor 27 to control the belt 4 to move the placement plate 6. When the bean curd strips on the upper surface of the placement plate 6 move to the cutting position, start the two sets of telescopic cylinders 7 to control the multiple cutting blades 10 to move down and cut the bean curd strips on the upper surface of the placement plate 6. During the cutting process, the bottom ends of the multiple cutting blades 10 will be inserted into the multiple slots 14 opened on the upper surface of the placement plate 6, which can perform multi-channel cutting at the same time, improving production efficiency. After the cutting is completed, the telescopic cylinders 7 will control the multiple cutting blades 10 to move up.

[0019] Simultaneously, by activating the electric telescopic rod 19, the horizontal plate 13 can be controlled to move vertically along with multiple threaded rods 12. Since the threaded rods 12 cannot rotate, the multiple rotating rods 9 will rotate together with multiple cutting blades 10 under the cooperation between the threads and the threaded grooves 11 on the surface of the threaded rods 12, thereby adjusting the cutting angle. The placement plate 6 with slots 14 corresponding to the angle of the cutting blades 10 can be quickly replaced by tightening the locking bolts 15.

[0020] The controller can control the rotational speed of the output shaft of the drive motor 27 and the reciprocating speed of the drive shaft of the telescopic cylinder 7, thereby controlling the length of the bean curd cut. The controller can also control the extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod 19.

[0021] Reference Figures 4-6A rectangular frame 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped block via a telescopic component. Multiple bristles are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular frame 20. Multiple cutting blades 10 pass through the multiple rectangular frames 20 respectively. The multiple bristles slide in contact with the surface of the cutting blades 10. The multiple rectangular frames 20 are restricted from vertical movement by a limiting component. The telescopic component includes two telescopic rods 21. The two ends of the telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped block and the rectangular frame 20 respectively. The limiting component includes multiple arc-shaped blocks 23 fixedly connected by connecting rods 22. Two arc-shaped blocks 23 located on both sides are fixedly connected to the platform 1 by L-shaped support rods 24. The multiple arc-shaped blocks 23 correspond to the positions of the multiple rectangular frames 20 respectively. The inner wall of the arc-shaped block 23 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 25 centered on the rotating rod 9. A slider 26 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rectangular frame 20. The ends of the multiple sliders 26 away from the rectangular frame 20 are slidably installed in the multiple arc-shaped grooves 25 respectively.

[0022] The slider 26 can only move along the circumference of the arc groove 25 and cannot move vertically, thus restricting the vertical movement of the rectangular frame 20. When the rotating rod 9 rotates with the U-shaped block and the cutting blade 10, the rectangular frame 20 will also rotate with it, so that the multiple bristles always keep in sliding contact with the surface of the cutting blade 10. When the cutting blade 10 moves vertically, the telescopic rod 21 will extend and retract. After the cutting blade 10 completes the cutting work and moves upward, the multiple bristles will slide in contact with the surface of the cutting blade 10 and brush off the residual product attached to the surface of the cutting blade 10, thus achieving the effect of cleaning the cutting blade 10.

[0023] In this invention, the mechanized operation of cutting bean curd into segments is achieved through the belt 4 and the telescopic cylinder 7, which reduces the intensity of manual labor, saves time, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, the cutting length and angle of the product can be flexibly adjusted, and various forms of products can be cut to meet different production needs.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "linking", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
