Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice cake slicing technology, specifically to an automatic rice cake slicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular traditional food, rice cake has a unique taste due to its soft, sticky texture, but it also creates significant difficulties for the subsequent slicing process. Currently, rice cake slicing mainly relies on manual operation, which is extremely inefficient, results in inconsistent slice thickness, is highly dependent on the operator's experience, and poses certain safety hazards when using sharp knives. Therefore, an automatic rice cake slicing machine has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic rice cake slicing machine, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An automatic rice cake slicing machine includes an automatic rice cake slicing machine body. A support plate is fixedly installed on the upper inner part of the automatic rice cake slicing machine body. A synchronous belt pulley is rotatably installed on the top of the support plate. Two synchronous belt pulleys are arranged opposite each other and are connected by a synchronous conveyor belt. A stepper motor is fixedly installed on the bottom of the support plate. The output end of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of one of the synchronous belt pulleys.

[0006] A linear slide rail is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support plate between the two synchronous belt pulleys. A linear guide slider is slidably installed on the top of the linear slide rail. One side of the linear guide slider is engaged with the inner side of the synchronous conveyor belt. A first slide groove is opened on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body. A push block is movably installed inside the first slide groove. A second slide groove is opened on the inner side of the first slide groove. One end of the linear guide slider passes through the second slide groove and is fixedly connected to one side of the push block.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the rice cake is placed in the first chute and operated in conjunction with a dual-axis motor and a stepper motor, achieving full automation of the rice cake's automatic feeding, cutting, and unloading process without frequent manual intervention. This significantly improves slicing efficiency, reduces labor costs, and is suitable for mass production.

[0008] Specifically, a gantry frame is fixedly installed inside the main body of the automatic rice cake slicer. A second guide rod is vertically installed on the inner top of the gantry frame. Two second guide rods are arranged opposite each other. A box-type linear slider is movably sleeved on the outer side of each of the two second guide rods. A first mounting plate is fixedly connected between the two box-type linear sliders on their sides that are close to each other. One side of the first mounting plate is used for fixing and installing the alloy blade.

[0009] Specifically, a dual-axis motor is fixedly installed in the lower inner part of the automatic rice cake slicer body. A connecting plate is sleeved on both output ends of the dual-axis motor. The two connecting plates are connected to the two box-type linear sliders through a connecting rod. Both ends of the connecting rod are provided with fish-eye bearings. The two fish-eye bearings are rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate and one side of the box-type linear slider, respectively.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dual-axis motor starts, its two output ends will drive the connecting plates that are respectively sleeved and installed to rotate. Since the connecting plates and the box-type linear slider are connected by a connecting rod, and both ends of the connecting rod are equipped with fisheye bearings, the two fisheye bearings are rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate and one side of the box-type linear slider, respectively. At the same time, the box-type linear slider is movably sleeved on the outside of the two second guide rods vertically installed at the top of the gantry. Therefore, the rotational motion of the connecting plates is converted into the vertical up-and-down reciprocating motion of the box-type linear slider along the second guide rod through the transmission action of the connecting rod and the fisheye bearings. The first mounting plate, which is fixed between the two box-type linear sliders on the side that is close to each other, will also move vertically up and down along with the box-type linear slider. The alloy blade is fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting plate, so the alloy blade will also move vertically up and down synchronously. When the alloy blade moves downward, the rice cake located at the cutting position can be sliced.

[0011] Specifically, a second mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the dual-axis motor. The second mounting plate is L-shaped and a second inductive proximity switch is installed inside the second mounting plate. The second inductive proximity switch is located above the connecting plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the dual-axis motor starts, it drives the connecting plate to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the connecting plate, it intermittently passes the second inductive proximity switch located above it. When the connecting plate rotates to the position that triggers the second inductive proximity switch, the second inductive proximity switch generates an electrical signal and transmits the signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system starts the stepper motor. After the stepper motor starts, according to the working principle described in the first paragraph above, it drives the synchronous belt pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the linear guide slider to move along the linear slide rail through the synchronous conveyor belt, ultimately causing the pusher block to push the rice cake forward a certain distance towards the cutting area.

[0013] Specifically, a first guide rod is vertically installed on the inner top of the gantry frame. There are two first guide rods, and a top block is sleeved on the outer side of the two first guide rods. The top end of the top block is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod, and the thread on the outer side of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the top of the gantry frame.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating block drives the threaded rod to rotate during the slicing process. Since the threaded rod is threadedly engaged with the top of the gantry frame, the rotation of the threaded rod will drive the top block, which is rotatably connected to its bottom end, to move up and down along the two first guide rods, thereby pressing against the top of the rice cake and preventing the rice cake from jumping upwards during cutting.

[0015] Specifically, a first inductive proximity switch and a third inductive proximity switch are installed on the top of the support plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the linear guide slider approaches the third inductive proximity switch, the stepper motor will drive the synchronous belt pulley to rotate continuously in the opposite direction and stop the operation of the dual-axis motor. This will allow the linear guide slider to drive the push block away from the cutting area until the linear guide slider approaches the first inductive proximity switch. The first inductive proximity switch will be triggered and the stepper motor will stop running. At this time, the staff can put the rice cake back into the first chute for feeding.

[0017] Specifically, a protective shell is fixedly installed on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body, the gantry is set inside the protective shell, and a discharge port is provided below the protective shell.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective shell is fixedly installed on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body. Its main function is to protect the internal cutting mechanism, such as the gantry and alloy blades, to prevent operators from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed moving cutting parts during machine operation, thereby ensuring the safety of the operators.

[0019] Specifically, the top end of the threaded rod passes through the gantry and the protective shell and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating block.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] (1) The automatic rice cake slicing machine described in this utility model, by placing rice cake in the first chute and cooperating with dual-axis motors, stepper motors and other components, achieves full automation of the rice cake's automatic feeding, cutting and discharging process without frequent manual intervention, greatly improving slicing efficiency, reducing labor costs, and is suitable for mass production.

[0022] (2) The automatic rice cake slicer described in this utility model has a top block design that can be placed on top of the rice cake to ensure that the rice cake is stable during cutting, effectively avoid jumping, and ensure cutting accuracy and quality. Attached Figure Description

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0031] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the automatic rice cake slicing machine of this utility model includes an automatic rice cake slicing machine body 1. A support plate 10 is fixedly installed on the upper inner part of the automatic rice cake slicing machine body 1. A synchronous belt pulley 11 is rotatably installed on the top of the support plate 10. Two synchronous belt pulleys 11 are arranged opposite each other. The two synchronous belt pulleys 11 are connected by a synchronous conveyor belt 12. A stepper motor 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the support plate 10. The output end of the stepper motor 9 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of one of the synchronous belt pulleys 11.

[0032] A linear slide rail 25 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support plate 10 between the two synchronous belt pulleys 11. A linear guide slider 13 is slidably installed on the top of the linear slide rail 25. One side of the linear guide slider 13 is engaged with the inner side of the synchronous conveyor belt 12. A first slide groove 2 is opened on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1. A push block 4 is movably installed inside the first slide groove 2. A second slide groove 3 is opened on the inner side of the first slide groove 2. One end of the linear guide slider 13 passes through the second slide groove 3 and is fixedly connected to one side of the push block 4.

[0033] When using the machine, if it is necessary to slice the rice cake, the operator first places the whole rice cake into the first chute 2 opened on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1. The rice cake should be placed in a way that ensures that its length direction is consistent with the extension direction of the first chute 2, so as to ensure that the subsequent push block 4 can smoothly push the rice cake to the cutting area. When the stepper motor 9 is triggered and started by the second inductive proximity switch 26, the output end of the stepper motor 9 drives the synchronous belt pulley 11 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the two synchronous belt pulleys 11 are connected by a synchronous conveyor belt 12, the other synchronous belt pulley 11 will also rotate synchronously. The linear slide rail 25 fixedly installed between the two synchronous belt pulleys 11 on the top surface of the support plate 10 provides sliding support for the linear guide slider 13. One side of the linear guide slider 13 is engaged with the inner side of the synchronous conveyor belt 12, so that the rotation of the synchronous conveyor belt 12 can drive the linear guide slider 13 to move linearly along the linear slide rail 25. One end of the linear guide slider 13 passes through the second slide groove 3 and is fixedly connected to one side of the push block 4. Therefore, the linear movement of the linear guide slider 13 will be synchronously transmitted to the push block 4. The push block 4 moves in the direction of the second slide groove 3 in the first slide groove 2, thereby pushing the rice cake placed in the first slide groove 2 towards the cutting area.

[0034] This utility model also includes a gantry frame 14 fixedly installed inside the automatic rice cake slicer body 1. A second guide rod 16 is vertically installed on the inner top of the gantry frame 14. Two second guide rods 16 are arranged opposite each other. A box-type linear slider 20 is movably sleeved on the outer side of each of the two second guide rods 16. A first mounting plate 18 is fixedly connected between the two box-type linear sliders 20 on their sides that are close to each other. One side of the first mounting plate 18 is used for fixing and installing the alloy blade 19.

[0035] This utility model also includes a dual-axis motor 24 fixedly installed in the lower part of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1. Each of the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 24 is fitted with a connecting plate 23. The two connecting plates 23 are connected to the two box-type linear sliders 20 through a connecting rod 22. Each end of the connecting rod 22 is provided with a fish-eye bearing 21. The two fish-eye bearings 21 are rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 23 and one side of the box-type linear slider 20, respectively.

[0036] In use, when the dual-axis motor 24 is started, its two output ends drive the connecting plates 23, which are respectively sleeved and mounted, to rotate. Since the connecting plates 23 and the box-type linear slider 20 are connected by a connecting rod 22, and both ends of the connecting rod 22 are equipped with fisheye bearings 21, the two fisheye bearings 21 are rotatably connected to one side of the connecting plate 23 and one side of the box-type linear slider 20, respectively. Simultaneously, the box-type linear slider 20 is movably sleeved on the outside of the two second guide rods 16 vertically mounted at the top of the gantry frame 14. Therefore, the rotation of the connecting plates 23... The motion is transmitted through the connecting rod 22 and the fisheye bearing 21, which is converted into the vertical up-and-down reciprocating motion of the box-type linear slider 20 along the second guide rod 16. The first mounting plate 18, which is fixed between the two box-type linear sliders 20 on their respective sides, will also move vertically up and down along with the box-type linear sliders 20. The alloy blade 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the first mounting plate 18, so the alloy blade 19 will also move vertically up and down synchronously. When the alloy blade 19 moves downward, the rice cake located at the cutting position can be sliced.

[0037] The present invention also includes a second mounting plate 27 fixedly connected to one side of the dual-axis motor 24. The second mounting plate 27 is arranged in an L-shape. A second inductive proximity switch 26 is installed inside the second mounting plate 27. The second inductive proximity switch 26 is located above the connecting plate 23.

[0038] In operation, the dual-axis motor 24 starts and drives the connecting plate 23 to rotate continuously. During the rotation of the connecting plate 23, it intermittently passes the second inductive proximity switch 26 located above it. When the connecting plate 23 rotates to the position that triggers the second inductive proximity switch 26, the second inductive proximity switch 26 generates an electrical signal and transmits the signal to the control system. Upon receiving the signal, the control system starts the stepper motor 9. After the stepper motor 9 starts, according to the working principle described in the first paragraph above, it drives the synchronous belt pulley 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the linear guide slider 13 to move along the linear slide rail 25 through the synchronous conveyor belt 12, ultimately causing the pusher block 4 to push the rice cake forward a certain distance towards the cutting area.

[0039] The present invention also includes a first guide rod 15 vertically installed on the inner top of the gantry frame 14. There are two first guide rods 15. A top block 17 is sleeved on the outer side of the two first guide rods 15. The top end of the top block 17 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the threaded rod 28. The thread on the outer side of the threaded rod 28 is threadedly connected to the top of the gantry frame 14.

[0040] During use, the rotating block 5 drives the threaded rod 28 to rotate during the slicing process. Since the threaded rod 28 is threadedly engaged with the top of the gantry frame 14, the rotation of the threaded rod 28 will drive the top block 17, which is rotatably connected to its bottom end, to move up and down along the two first guide rods 15, thereby pressing against the top of the rice cake and preventing the rice cake from jumping upwards during cutting.

[0041] It should be noted that the top block 17 will not press down on the top of the rice cake, so as to avoid affecting the rice cake's progress.

[0042] This utility model also includes a first inductive proximity switch 8 and a third inductive proximity switch 29 installed on the top of the support plate 10.

[0043] When in use, when the linear guide slider 13 approaches the third inductive proximity switch 29, the stepper motor 9 will drive the synchronous belt pulley 11 to rotate continuously in the opposite direction, while stopping the operation of the dual-axis motor 24. This allows the linear guide slider 13 to drive the push block 4 away from the cutting area until the linear guide slider 13 approaches the first inductive proximity switch 8. The first inductive proximity switch 8 is triggered, causing the stepper motor 9 to stop operating. At this time, the staff can place the rice cake back into the first chute 2 for feeding.

[0044] The present invention also includes a protective shell 6 fixedly installed on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1, the gantry frame 14 being disposed inside the protective shell 6, and a discharge port 7 being provided below the protective shell 6.

[0045] When in use, the protective shell 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1. Its main function is to protect the internal cutting mechanism, such as the gantry 14 and alloy blade 19, to prevent the operator from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed moving cutting parts during the operation of the machine, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator.

[0046] This utility model also includes a top end of the threaded rod 28 passing through the gantry frame 14 and the protective shell 6 and being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating block 5.

[0047] In use, the operator places the entire rice cake into the first groove 2 at the top of the automatic rice cake slicer body 1, and then starts the dual-axis motor 24. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 24 drive their respective connecting plates 23 to rotate. The connecting plate 23 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 22 through a fisheye bearing 21, and the other end of the connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the shaft on the box-type linear slider 20 through the fisheye bearing 21. The box-type linear slider 20 is sleeved on two second guide rods 16 vertically installed at the top of the gantry frame 14. Therefore, the rotational motion of the connecting plate 23 is converted into the vertical up-and-down reciprocating motion of the box-type linear slider 20 along the second guide rods 16 through the connecting rod 22 and the fisheye bearing 21. During the rotation of the connecting plate 23, the second inductive proximity switch 26 is intermittently triggered by the connecting plate 23. When the second inductive proximity switch 26 is triggered, it will start the stepper motor 9 once, which drives its output end. The connected synchronous belt pulley 11 rotates, and the two synchronous belt pulleys 11 are linked by the synchronous conveyor belt 12. The inner teeth of the synchronous conveyor belt 12 mesh with the teeth fixed on the linear guide slider 13. The linear guide slider 13 is installed on the linear slide rail 25 at the top of the support plate 10. Therefore, the synchronous conveyor belt 12 drives the linear guide slider 13 to move linearly along the linear slide rail 25. One end of the linear guide slider 13 passes through the second slide groove 3 and is fixedly connected to the push block 4 located in the first slide groove 2. Therefore, the push block 4 moves synchronously with the linear guide slider 13, pushing the rice cake in the first slide groove 2 toward the cutting area a certain distance. The alloy blade 19 fixed on the first mounting plate 18 moves downward together with the box-type linear slider 20 to cut the rice cake that has stopped at the cutting position. After the cutting is completed, the alloy blade 19 returns upward. This cycle realizes automatic continuous slicing. The cut rice cake slices fall from the discharge port 7 below the protective shell 6.

[0048] During the slicing process, the rotating block 5 drives the threaded rod 28 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 28 is threadedly engaged with the top of the gantry frame 14, the rotation of the threaded rod 28 will drive the top block 17, which is rotatably connected to its bottom end, to move up and down along the two first guide rods 15, thereby pressing against the top of the rice cake and preventing the rice cake from jumping upwards during the cutting process.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
