Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of meat slicers, and relates to a meat slicer, and more particularly to a fresh meat cutter slicer. Background Technology

[0002] Pork chops, also known as spare chops, are long strips of meat before being sliced. They are primarily made from a whole strip of pork tenderloin, with at least one side containing a portion of the spine. Currently, fresh pork chops are mostly cut by hand, as conventional meat slicers cannot cut them into regular pieces. The basic principle of most commercially available meat slicers is to use a long, narrow saw blade that moves up and down at high frequency or a high-speed rotating ring saw blade to push frozen, hard meat blocks through the blade for cutting. Such machines can cut frozen meat and even hard objects like bones. Fresh pork chops, however, cannot pass through the saw blade. Fresh pork chops are soft, easily broken, and somewhat sticky; the high-frequency movement of the saw blade would simply tear the fresh meat apart, making it impossible to cut into regular slices.

[0003] Based on the problems described above, the applicant has designed a slicer with publication number CN113400370B and a meat cutting device with application number CN116391744A. Both devices are capable of cutting fresh meat, but the tightening structure that tightens the meat pieces still does not achieve the optimal effect. For example, the meat cutting device with application number CN116391744A uses a steel rope for tightening. The two ends of the steel rope are limited, and the distance between the two ends is constant. One end of the steel rope is fixed to the worktable, and the other end of the steel rope can be pulled downward. When the meat pieces enter the inside of the steel rope, they need to be placed close to the fixed end of the steel rope. By pulling the other end of the steel rope, the steel rope is contracted. Only by tightening in one direction on one side can the meat pieces be wrapped around and cut. In actual use, such a tightening structure can easily cause the meat pieces and the fixing seat of the steel rope to come into contact and get stuck, resulting in a stop. The reason is that fresh meat pieces are easy to stick to the fixing end of the steel rope after being cut or tightened. The position of the fixing end of the steel rope will not move, so it cannot create a gap between it and the meat pieces to avoid sticking. Even if the telescopic end of the steel rope retracts upward, it cannot separate the fixing end of the steel rope from the meat pieces. As a result, jamming will occur as the feeding continues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fresh meat slicing machine. It solves the technical problem of ensuring stable operation of the slicing machine when cutting fresh meat chops.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fresh meat slicing machine includes a panel with a cutting blade assembly and a meat clamping assembly. The meat clamping assembly includes a steel rope that arches upward in the middle. Two cylinders are connected to the two ends of the steel rope, respectively. The two cylinders can drive the two ends of the steel rope to move closer to each other. At least one end of the steel rope is configured to slide and is connected to a drive member for pulling the steel rope to retract the arched middle part of the steel rope.

[0006] The steel rope on this meat slicer is used to hold the meat strip tightly, providing support and shaping for the cutting area, resulting in cuts with good contours and shapes. Driven by cylinders one and two, the two ends of the steel rope can move towards the sides of the meat strip, bringing them close to or against the sides. When the steel rope is retracted by the drive mechanism, it conforms to the contours of the meat, resulting in better shaping and cutting.

[0007] After cutting, when the meat needs to be fed forward, the resetting of cylinders one and two can move the two ends of the steel rope away from the meat, so that the two ends of the steel rope are separated from the side of the meat. With the synchronous push of the drive component, the middle of the steel rope arches upward away from the meat. In this way, the steel rope as a whole does not come into contact with the meat, avoiding sticking to the meat and affecting subsequent cutting. This design can ensure the stability of continuously cutting meat chops.

[0008] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, cylinder one and cylinder two are fixed on the panel facing each other and have a feeding gap between them. One end of the steel rope is slidably connected to the push rod of cylinder one and extends towards the bottom of the panel to be connected to the drive component. The other end of the steel rope is fixed to cylinder two.

[0009] One end of the steel rope is fixed to cylinder two, and the other end of the steel rope is slidably connected to cylinder one and pulled by a drive component at that end. This design is more adaptable to the contour of the meat cutlet. The side of the meat cutlet with bone is relatively vertical and flat, so cylinder two can directly drive one end of the steel rope to stick to it. During subsequent feeding, cylinder two is reset and separated from the bone side to ensure the stability of continuous feeding and cutting.

[0010] The side of the pork cutlet relative to the bone has a larger curvature, so the corresponding end of the steel rope is designed as a pullable sliding end. By using a cylinder to move this end against the meat and then pulling the steel rope, it can better fit the curvature of the pork cutlet and hold it tightly. Adapting to the contour of the pork cutlet and holding it tightly makes the cut pork cutlet more regular.

[0011] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, a positioning component is fixed on the push rod of the cylinder one. The positioning component has a positioning hole through which a steel rope can pass from top to bottom. The driving component is fixed to the bottom of the panel. The steel rope passes through the positioning hole and the panel in sequence and is connected to the driving component. The driving component can drive the steel rope to slide along the positioning hole, and the cylinder one can push the part of the steel rope in the positioning hole closer to the meat piece.

[0012] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, the side of the positioning member has a plate-shaped embedding part. When the push rod of cylinder one extends, the embedding part can move toward the meat piece and partially embed itself into the meat piece. When the push rod of cylinder one retracts, there is a gap between the embedding part and the meat piece.

[0013] When the positioning component approaches the meat block, its embedded part can clamp the meat block like a clamp, causing it to deform locally and create an embedded effect. This effectively increases the friction between the positioning component and the meat block, preventing the meat block from shifting. Moreover, by squeezing the side of the meat block, it can effectively alleviate the deformation of the meat block to both sides when the cutter cuts it, improving the appearance of the cut meat patties. After the positioning component is reset by the cylinder, it will not stick to the meat block, ensuring the continuity and stability of subsequent feeding and cutting.

[0014] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, the driving component is cylinder three. The push rod of cylinder three is vertically arranged and the sliding end of the steel rope is fixed on the push rod. When cylinder three retracts, the steel rope is pulled downward so that the arched middle part of the steel rope tightens the meat piece. When cylinder three extends, the steel rope is pushed upward so that the middle part of the steel rope expands away from the meat piece.

[0015] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, there are at least two steel ropes arranged at intervals, and there is a clearance between adjacent steel ropes.

[0016] There is a clearance between the two parallel steel ropes. When the steel ropes tighten and squeeze the meat, the meat located at the clearance will bulge outward, thereby further improving the gripping performance of the steel ropes and thus further improving the pass rate of the cut meat chops.

[0017] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, a pressing block is provided between adjacent steel ropes to connect them. The bottom of the pressing block has a V-shaped pressing part. When the steel ropes are tightened, the pressing part can be partially or completely embedded into the meat block.

[0018] The pressure block connected to the steel rope not only connects the two steel ropes to prevent them from tilting, but also has a V-shaped pressing part protruding from the bottom of the pressure block that can press into the meat block when the steel rope is tightened, so that the steel rope can more fully hold and limit the meat block, resulting in a better limiting effect.

[0019] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, there are multiple pressing blocks, and all of the pressing blocks are distributed on the side near the cylinder 2, with overflow space between adjacent pressing blocks.

[0020] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, the pressing block has a side hole through it, and the steel rope passes through the side hole to adjust the position of the pressing block by sliding along the steel rope.

[0021] In the above-mentioned fresh meat slicing machine, the cutting blade assembly includes a square-shaped cutting blade with the blade tip located at the bottom of the blade. The cutting blade is configured to move up and down to chop meat pieces, and the movement path of the cutting blade intersects the surface of the panel at an acute angle. The meat clamping assembly is located near the cutting blade attachment.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The steel rope on the meat cutter is used to hold the meat strip tightly, providing support and shaping for the cutting area, resulting in cuts with better contours and shapes. Driven by cylinders one and two, the two ends of the steel rope can move towards the sides of the meat strip, bringing the ends of the steel rope close to or against the sides of the meat strip. When the steel rope is contracted by the drive component, it can fit the contour of the meat block and hold it, achieving a better shaping effect and a better cutting effect.

[0023] 2. After cutting, when the meat needs to be fed forward, the resetting of cylinder one and cylinder two can drive the two ends of the steel rope away from the meat, so that the two ends of the steel rope are separated from the side of the meat. With the synchronous push of the drive component, the middle of the steel rope arches upward and moves away from the meat. In this way, the steel rope as a whole does not come into contact with the meat, avoiding sticking to the meat and affecting subsequent cutting. This design can ensure the stability of continuously cutting meat chops. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-5 The machine for slicing fresh meat chops shown includes a panel 1. The panel 1 is equipped with a cutting blade assembly 2, a meat clamping assembly 3, and a feeding assembly 4. The cutting blade assembly 2 includes a square-shaped cutting blade 21 with its blade tip located at the bottom. Two inclined and spaced columns are fixed to the panel 1, and sliding sleeves are slidably connected to the columns. Both ends of the cutting blade 21 are fixed to the two sliding sleeves and slide along the columns. The cutting blade 21 is configured to move up and down to chop meat pieces, and its movement path intersects the surface of the panel 1 at an acute angle, i.e., it moves at an inclined angle. For detailed structure, refer to "CN116391744A - A Meat Chop Slicing Device". The feeding assembly 4 is located on one side of the cutting blade 21 and uses an electric cylinder in conjunction with a feeding plate to slide and feed meat, providing a constant and gradual feed, thus cutting evenly spaced meat slices. The meat clamping assembly 3 is located near the cutting blade 21. The meat clamping assembly 3 includes a steel rope 31 that arches upwards in the middle. Cylinder 32 and cylinder 33 are connected to both ends of the steel rope 31, respectively. Cylinder 32 and cylinder 33 can drive the two ends of the steel rope 31 to move closer together. At least one end of the steel rope 31 is configured to slide and is connected to a drive member 34 for pulling the steel rope 31 to retract the arched middle section. The steel rope 31 on this meat slicer is used to grip the meat strip, supporting and shaping the cutting area to cut meat slices with good contours and shapes. Driven by cylinders 32 and 33, the two ends of the steel rope 31 can move towards the sides of the meat strip, bringing them closer to or against the sides of the meat strip. Thus, when the steel rope 31 is retracted by the drive member 34, it can conform to the contour of the meat slice and grip it, achieving a better shaping effect and a better cutting effect. After cutting, when the meat needs to be fed forward, the resetting of cylinder 32 and cylinder 33 can drive the two ends of steel rope 31 away from the meat, so that the two ends of steel rope 31 form a gap with the side of the meat. With the synchronous push of drive component 34, the middle of steel rope 31 arches upward away from the meat. In this way, the steel rope 31 as a whole has no contact with the meat, avoiding sticking to the meat and affecting subsequent cutting. This design can ensure the stability of continuously cutting meat chops.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 2Cylinder 1 (32) and Cylinder 2 (33) are fixed to the panel 1 facing each other. A feeding gap 35 exists between them, allowing meat pieces to pass through without contact. One end of a steel cable 31 is slidably connected to the push rod of Cylinder 1 (32) and extends towards the bottom of the panel 1, connecting to the drive component 34. The other end of the steel cable 31 is fixed to Cylinder 2 (33). This design better adapts to the contours of the meat cutlet. The bone-in side of the cutlet is relatively vertical and flat, so Cylinder 2 (33) can directly drive one end of the steel cable 31 to adhere to it. During subsequent feeding, Cylinder 2 (33) resets and separates from the bone side, ensuring stable continuous feeding and cutting. The side of the meat chops relative to the bone has a large curvature, so the end of the corresponding steel rope 31 is set as a pullable sliding end. The cylinder 32 drives this end to stick to the meat and then pulls the steel rope 31 to better fit the curvature of the meat chops and hold it tightly. Adapting to the contour of the meat chops and holding them tightly makes the cut meat chops more regular.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 A positioning member 36 is fixed to the push rod of cylinder 32. The positioning member 36 has a positioning hole 361 through which a steel rope 31 can pass from top to bottom. The driving member 34 is fixed to the bottom of the panel 1. The steel rope 31 passes through the positioning hole 361 and the panel 1 in sequence and is connected to the driving member 34. The driving member 34 can drive the steel rope 31 to slide along the positioning hole 361, and the cylinder 32 can push the portion of the steel rope 31 in the positioning hole 361 closer to the meat piece. A plate-shaped embedding part 362 protrudes from the side of the positioning member 36. When the push rod of cylinder 32 extends, the embedding part 362 can move toward the meat piece and partially embed itself in the meat piece. When the push rod of cylinder 32 retracts, there is a gap between the embedding part 362 and the meat piece. When the positioning component 36 approaches the meat block, its embedded part 362 can clamp the meat block like a clamp, causing it to deform locally and form an embedded effect. This can effectively increase the friction between the positioning component 36 and the meat block to prevent the meat block from shifting. Moreover, by squeezing the side of the meat block, it can effectively alleviate the deformation of the meat block to both sides when the cutter 21 cuts it, thus improving the appearance of the cut meat patties. After the positioning component 36 is reset by the cylinder 32, it will not stick to the meat block, ensuring the continuity and stability of subsequent feeding and cutting.

[0030] As a preferred option, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 The drive unit 34 shown is cylinder three. The push rod of cylinder three is set vertically and one end of the steel rope 31 is fixed to the push rod. When cylinder three retracts, the steel rope 31 is pulled downward so that the arched middle part of the steel rope 31 tightens the meat. When cylinder three extends, the steel rope 31 is pushed upward so that the middle part of the steel rope 31 expands away from the meat.

[0031] As a preferred option, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 The diagram shows two steel ropes 31 spaced apart, with the same curvature between them. Both ends of the two steel ropes 31 are connected to the same cylinder 32 and cylinder 33. Adjacent steel ropes 31 have a clearance gap 311. This clearance gap 311 between the two parallel steel ropes 31 allows the meat located at the clearance gap 311 to bulge outwards when the steel ropes 31 tighten and compress the meat, further improving the gripping performance of the steel ropes 31 and thus increasing the yield rate of the cut meat chops.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 A pressure block 37 is provided between adjacent steel ropes 31, connecting them. Multiple pressure blocks 37 are distributed on the side closest to cylinder 33, and an overflow space 372 is provided between adjacent pressure blocks 37. The overflow space 372 allows a portion of the meat piece compressed by the steel ropes 31 and the pressure blocks 37 to protrude from this space, creating a further limiting and lifting effect. The arrangement between the pressure block 37 and the steel rope 31 is illustrated below: a side hole 373 is provided through the side of the pressure block 37, through which the steel rope 31 passes, allowing the pressure block 37 to slide and adjust its position along the guide of the steel rope 31.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] This is another implementation of the pressing block of this application. In this embodiment, the other structures are basically the same as those in Embodiment 1, except that: Figure 6 In this embodiment, the pressing block 37 can be a rhomboid structure with a V-shaped pressing part 371 at its bottom. When the steel rope 31 is tightened, the pressing part 371 can be partially or completely embedded into the meat piece. The pressing block 37 connected to the steel rope 31 can connect the two steel ropes 31 to prevent them from tilting. The V-shaped pressing part 371 protruding from the bottom of the pressing block 37 can be pressed into the meat piece when the steel rope 31 is tightened, so that the steel rope 31 can more fully hold and limit the meat piece, resulting in a better limiting effect.
