Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham processing technology, specifically to a ham shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In some ham processing techniques, the cured ham is desalted and washed. After being washed, the ham is extruded and shaped as a whole, and then locally pounded to form a shape similar to a paddle or racket. In existing shaping processes, hams are transported one by one to an extrusion mold via a conveyor belt for extrusion and shaping, and then the shaped hams are removed from the mold.

[0003] The existing shaping process has the following problems: it is difficult to control the position of the ham by using only a conveyor belt to ensure that the ham is fully inserted into the mold, resulting in poor shaping effect.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a ham shaping device to solve the problem of poor shaping effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing shaping processes, which rely solely on conveyor belts, cannot effectively control the position of the ham and ensure it fully enters the mold, resulting in poor shaping effects.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A ham shaping device, comprising: A conveyor mechanism used to transport ham; A shaping mechanism is installed on a conveying mechanism. The shaping mechanism includes a fixed end and a movable end spaced apart from the fixed end. Both the fixed end and the movable end have arc-shaped grooves formed on them. An extrusion mechanism connects to and drives the movable end to approach the fixed end; The positioning mechanism is installed on the conveying mechanism.

[0007] Existing shaping processes, relying solely on conveyor belts, struggle to control the ham's position, ensuring it fully enters the mold and resulting in poor shaping. In this solution, the conveying mechanism transports the hams one by one to the shaping mechanism. A positioning mechanism detects the ham's position, and once the ham is fully inside, the conveying mechanism stops and the extrusion mechanism is activated. This brings the movable end closer to the fixed end to extrude and shape the ham. After shaping, the extrusion mechanism retracts, and the conveying mechanism restarts for the next shaping cycle. This solution allows for extrusion shaping only after the ham is fully inside the shaping mechanism, resolving the problem of poor shaping results.

[0008] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the positioning mechanism. One feasible solution is as follows: the positioning mechanism includes a translation component connected to the shaping mechanism. The translation component is equipped with a sensor, which is used to control the translation component and the conveying mechanism. When this solution is adopted, when the sensor detects the ham, it controls the conveying mechanism to stop and controls the translation component to drive the shaping mechanism to move a specified distance along the ham conveying direction, so that the ham is completely within the shaping mechanism, and then the shaping operation is performed. After the shaping is completed, the translation component drives the shaping mechanism to retract and starts the conveying mechanism to perform the next shaping.

[0009] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the sensor. One feasible solution is that the sensor includes an infrared transmitter and a receiver. When this solution is adopted, when the ham moves between the infrared transmitter and the receiver, the signal of the receiver is blocked, thereby detecting the ham's position without contact.

[0010] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the translation component. One feasible solution is that the translation component includes a telescopic rod connected to a fixed end or a movable end and a slider connected to the telescopic rod. The slider is slidably connected to the conveying mechanism. When this solution is adopted, the telescopic rod drives the slider to move, thereby driving the fixed end or the movable end to move.

[0011] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the extrusion mechanism. One feasible solution is that the extrusion mechanism includes a hydraulic rod and a hydraulic pump connected to the hydraulic rod. The movable end is mounted on the hydraulic rod. When this solution is adopted, the hydraulic pump drives the hydraulic rod, thereby causing the movable end to move closer to or away from the fixed end.

[0012] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the conveying mechanism. One feasible solution is that the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt and a motor for driving the conveyor belt. When this solution is adopted, the motor drives the conveyor belt to rotate, thereby conveying the ham to the shaping mechanism.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The hams are conveyed one by one to the shaping mechanism by the conveying mechanism. The positioning mechanism detects the position of the hams. When the hams are completely in the shaping mechanism, the conveying mechanism is stopped and the extrusion mechanism is started. The movable end is brought close to the fixed end to extrude and shape the hams. After the shaping is completed, the extrusion mechanism is retracted and the conveying mechanism is started to perform the next shaping. This solution can extrude and shape the hams after they are completely in the shaping mechanism, which solves the problem of poor shaping effect. Second, since the positioning mechanism includes a translation component connected to the shaping mechanism, and a sensor is installed on the translation component, the sensor is used to control the translation component and the conveying mechanism. When the sensor detects the ham, it controls the conveying mechanism to stop and controls the translation component to drive the shaping mechanism to move a specified distance along the ham conveying direction, so that the ham is completely inside the shaping mechanism, and then the shaping operation is performed. After the shaping is completed, the translation component drives the shaping mechanism to retract and starts the conveying mechanism to perform the next shaping.

[0014] Third, since the sensor includes an infrared transmitter and a receiver, when the ham moves between the infrared transmitter and the receiver, the signal of the receiver is blocked, thus enabling non-contact detection of the ham's position. Attached Figure Description

[0017] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0018] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A ham shaping device, comprising: Conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey ham; The shaping mechanism 2 is installed on the conveying mechanism 1. The shaping mechanism 2 includes a fixed end 21 and a movable end 22 spaced apart from the fixed end 21. Both the fixed end 21 and the movable end 22 have arc-shaped grooves 23 formed on them. The extrusion mechanism 3 connects to and drives the movable end 22 to approach the fixed end 21; Positioning mechanism 4 is installed on conveying mechanism 1.

[0020] Existing shaping processes, relying solely on conveyor belts, struggle to control the ham's position and ensure it fully enters the mold, resulting in poor shaping effects. In this solution, a conveying mechanism 1 transports the hams one by one to the shaping mechanism 2. A positioning mechanism 4 detects the ham's position. Once the ham is fully inside the shaping mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 1 stops, and the extrusion mechanism 3 is activated. This causes the movable end 22 to approach the fixed end 21, extruding and shaping the ham. After shaping, the extrusion mechanism 3 retracts, and the conveying mechanism 1 restarts for the next shaping cycle. This solution allows for extrusion shaping only after the ham is fully inside the shaping mechanism 2, resolving the problem of poor shaping results.

[0021] Reference Figure 1This solution does not limit the specific structure of the positioning mechanism 4. One feasible solution is as follows: The positioning mechanism 4 includes a translation component 41 connected to the shaping mechanism 2. A sensor 42 is installed on the translation component 41 and the sensor 42 is used to control the translation component 41 and the conveying mechanism 1. When this solution is adopted, when the sensor 42 detects the ham, it controls the conveying mechanism 1 to stop and controls the translation component 41 to drive the shaping mechanism 2 to move a specified distance along the ham conveying direction, so that the ham is completely inside the shaping mechanism 2, and then the shaping operation is performed. After the shaping is completed, the translation component 41 drives the shaping mechanism 2 to retract and starts the conveying mechanism 1 to perform the next shaping.

[0022] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 This solution does not limit the specific structure of sensor 42. One feasible solution is that sensor 42 includes infrared transmitter 421 and receiver 422. When this solution is adopted, when the ham moves between infrared transmitter 421 and receiver 422, the signal of receiver 422 is blocked, thereby detecting the position of the ham without contact.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the translation component 41. One feasible solution is that the translation component 41 includes a telescopic rod 411 connected to the fixed end 21 or the movable end 22 and a slider 412 connected to the telescopic rod 411. The slider 412 is slidably connected to the conveying mechanism 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, a guide rod 413 is installed on the conveying mechanism 1 and the slider 412 is installed on the guide rod 413. When this solution is adopted, the slider 412 is moved by the telescopic rod 411, which in turn drives the fixed end 21 or the movable end 22 to move along the axial direction of the guide rod 413.

[0024] Understandably, in this embodiment, the two telescopic rods 411 do not need to be synchronized. As long as the infrared transmitter 421 and the receiver 422 are in the correct positions when the two telescopic rods 411 are fully retracted, the ham can be positioned.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the extrusion mechanism 3. One feasible solution is that the extrusion mechanism 3 includes a hydraulic rod 31 and a hydraulic pump connected to the hydraulic rod 31. The movable end 22 is installed on the hydraulic rod 31. When this solution is adopted, the hydraulic pump drives the hydraulic rod 31, thereby driving the movable end 22 to move closer to or away from the fixed end 21.

[0026] Optionally, in this embodiment, the two hydraulic rods 31 are driven by the same hydraulic pump. When this scheme is adopted, the pressure of the hydraulic oil inside the two hydraulic rods 31 can be made equal, so as to realize the synchronous operation of the two hydraulic rods 31.

[0027] This solution does not limit the specific structure of the conveying mechanism 1. One feasible solution is that the conveying mechanism 1 includes a conveyor belt 11 and a motor 12 for driving the conveyor belt 11. When this solution is adopted, the motor 12 drives the conveyor belt 11 to rotate, thereby conveying the ham to the shaping mechanism 2.

[0028] To address the issue of poor shaping results, this solution involves conveying hams one by one to the shaping mechanism 2 via the conveying mechanism 1. The positioning mechanism 4 detects the position of the hams. Once the hams are fully inside the shaping mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 1 stops working and the extrusion mechanism 3 is activated, bringing the movable end 22 close to the fixed end 21 to extrude and shape the hams. After shaping is complete, the extrusion mechanism 3 retracts, and the conveying mechanism 1 is activated for the next shaping cycle. This solution allows for extrusion shaping only after the hams are fully inside the shaping mechanism 2, thus resolving the problem of poor shaping results.

[0029] To facilitate the positioning of the ham, in this solution, the positioning mechanism 4 includes a translation component 41 connected to the shaping mechanism 2. The translation component 41 is equipped with a sensor 42, which is used to control the translation component 41 and the conveying mechanism 1. When the sensor 42 detects the ham, it controls the conveying mechanism 1 to stop and controls the translation component 41 to move the shaping mechanism 2 a specified distance along the ham conveying direction, so that the ham is completely inside the shaping mechanism 2. Then the shaping operation is performed. After the shaping is completed, the translation component 41 drives the shaping mechanism 2 to retract and starts the conveying mechanism 1 to perform the next shaping.

[0030] In order to detect the position of the ham without contact, in this solution, since the sensor 42 includes an infrared transmitter 421 and a receiver 422, when the ham moves between the infrared transmitter 421 and the receiver 422, the signal of the receiver 422 is blocked, thereby detecting the position of the ham without contact.
