Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, specifically to a cutting worktable for producing spicy chicken. Background Technology

[0002] Spicy chicken is a classic traditional dish from the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, characterized by its bright red color, fragrant spiciness, crispy texture, and rich flavor. With the development of food industrialization and the pre-prepared food industry, spicy chicken has evolved from a freshly stir-fried dish in restaurant kitchens into an industrially produced food that can be mass-produced and standardized, such as vacuum-packed snacks and frozen meal kits.

[0003] In the food processing of spicy chicken, the whole chicken needs to be cut into pieces using a slitting table before further processing. Existing slitting tables typically consist of a belt conveyor and a cutting structure. During the cutting process, the whole chicken is transported to the cutting structure via the belt conveyor, where it is then cut.

[0004] However, the existing cutting structure requires the whole chicken to be cut into strips first, and then the operator transfers the strips to the beginning of the conveyor belt and rotates them 90° so that the strips are transported through the cutting structure again to be cut into pieces. This operation is cumbersome and wastes manpower. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a cutting workbench for producing spicy chicken, which simplifies the operation of cutting whole chickens into pieces and reduces labor costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: 1) A cutting operation table for producing spicy chicken, including a frame, on which a belt conveyor for conveying whole chickens is fixed, the belt conveyor having a conveyor belt, two cutting structures for cutting whole chickens being sequentially mounted on the conveyor belt along the transport direction, and several conveying components for carrying whole chickens being rotatably connected to the conveyor belt, all conveying components being evenly arranged on the conveyor belt along the transport direction, and also including a rotating structure for rotating the conveying components.

[0007] In this invention, during the operation of the conveyor, the conveyor belt can drive the conveyed components to move along the transport direction. Since two cutting structures are sequentially installed on the conveyor belt along the transport direction, the whole chicken can be placed on each conveyed component by the operator. The whole chicken can then pass through the first cutting structure and the second cutting structure in sequence. After the first cutting structure cuts the whole chicken into strips of chicken meat, the rotating structure causes the conveyor to rotate at a certain angle, causing the strips of chicken meat on the conveyor to rotate at a certain angle as well. Then, the second cutting structure cuts the rotated strips of chicken meat into pieces, completing the cutting of the whole chicken. This process does not require the operator to repeatedly transfer the strips of chicken meat, simplifying the operation and reducing labor costs.

[0008] 2) The cutting worktable for producing spicy chicken as described in 1), wherein: The cutting structure includes a frame mounted on a conveyor belt. A motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a rotating rod that passes through the frame. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the frame and is located above the conveyor belt. Several circular blades for cutting whole chickens are fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and all the circular blades are arranged evenly on the rotating rod in sequence.

[0009] In this invention, the rotating rod can be driven to rotate by starting the motor. The circular blades rotate with the rotating rod. Since all the circular blades are evenly and spaced apart from each other on the rotating rod, when the whole chicken passes through the rotating rod of the first cutting structure along the transport direction, it can be cut into uniform strips of chicken meat by several rotating circular blades on the rotating rod. When the strips of chicken meat pass through the rotating rod of the second cutting structure after the rotation angle, they can be cut into uniform blocks by several rotating circular blades on the rotating rod, which is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0010] 3) The cutting worktable for producing spicy chicken as described in 1), wherein: The conveyor includes a pallet for carrying whole chickens. Several limiting rods are fixedly connected to the pallet. All the limiting rods enclose an area on the upper surface of the pallet to restrict the position of the whole chicken. There is a gap between adjacent limiting rods for a circular blade to pass through. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pallet. A fixed seat is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating shaft. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt.

[0011] In this invention, during the operation of the conveyor, the conveyor belt can drive the fixed seat to move along the transport direction, thereby causing the fixed seat to drive the rotating shaft and the pallet to move along the transport direction. By having the operator place whole chickens on each conveyor, the whole chickens can move along the transport direction with the pallets, allowing the whole chickens to be cut, rotated, and then cut again to obtain pieces of chicken meat, thus completing the cutting of the whole chicken. At the same time, the area enclosed by the upper limit rods of the pallet can restrict the position of the whole chicken, reducing the possibility of the whole chicken falling off the pallet during the conveying, rotating, and cutting process. Furthermore, the circular blade of the cutting structure can pass through the gap between adjacent limit rods to cut the whole chicken.

[0012] 4) The cutting worktable for producing spicy chicken as described in 3), wherein: The rotating structure includes a ratchet fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a support rod fixedly connected to a frame. A rack that can mesh with the ratchet is fixedly connected to the support rod, and the rack is located between the two cutting structures.

[0013] In this invention, as the fixed seat drives the rotating shaft and the pallet to move along the transport direction, the ratchet moves along the rotating shaft along the transport direction, so that the rotating shaft, ratchet, and pallet pass through the first cutting structure, the rack, and the second cutting structure in sequence. As the rotating shaft, ratchet, and pallet pass through the rack, the ratchet meshes with the rack and is driven to rotate by the rack at a certain angle. The rotating shaft rotates with the ratchet at a certain angle, and the pallet rotates with the rotating shaft at a certain angle, so that the pallet rotates at a certain angle when passing through the rack.

[0014] Simultaneously, the operator places a whole chicken on the pallet, allowing it to pass sequentially through the first cutting structure, the toothed rack, and the second cutting structure. As the pallet passes through the first cutting structure, the whole chicken is cut into strips of meat. Then, as the pallet passes through the toothed rack, it rotates at a certain angle, causing the strips of meat to rotate as well. Finally, as the pallet passes through the second cutting structure, the strips of meat are cut into pieces, completing the cutting of the whole chicken. This process eliminates the need for the operator to repeatedly transfer the strips of meat, simplifying the operation and reducing labor costs.

[0015] 5) The cutting worktable for producing spicy chicken as described in 4), wherein: It also includes a pawl that engages with the ratchet, the pawl being rotatably connected to the lower surface of the pallet, and a torsion spring being fixedly connected between the pawl and the bottom of the pallet.

[0016] In this invention, the pawl engages with the ratchet by locking into the toothed groove. When the rack drives the ratchet to rotate, the ratchet pushes the pawl to disengage from the current toothed groove. At this time, the torsion spring is stretched. Then, as the ratchet continues to rotate, the torsion spring resets, driving the pawl to re-engage into the next toothed groove of the ratchet. This allows the pawl to engage with the toothed groove of the ratchet after the ratchet has rotated a certain angle via the rack, thus limiting the ratchet's movement and reducing the possibility of the ratchet, shaft, and support plate rotating out of their predetermined positions due to external forces such as impacts.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention also has the following technical effects: In this invention, during the operation of the conveyor, the conveyor belt drives the fixed seat, rotating shaft, ratchet, and pallet to move along the transport direction. Operators continuously place whole chickens onto the pallet, causing it to pass sequentially through the first cutting structure, the rack, and the second cutting structure. Upon passing the first cutting structure, the chicken is cut into strips. When the pallet passes the rack, the ratchet below the rack engages with it, causing the ratchet to rotate the rotating shaft, pallet, and chicken strips at a certain angle. The rotated chicken strips continue to move along the transport direction with the pallet, and then pass through the second cutting structure to be cut into pieces, completing the whole chicken cutting process. This process eliminates the need for operators to repeatedly transfer the chicken strips, simplifying the operation and reducing labor costs.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] Furthermore, terms such as "identical" do not imply that components must be absolutely identical; minor differences are permissible. The term "perpendicular" simply means that the positional relationship between components is more perpendicular than "parallel," not that the structure must be perfectly perpendicular; a slight tilt is acceptable.

[0026] See the example. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the cutting workbench for producing spicy chicken includes a frame 1. A belt conveyor is fixed to the frame 1 by bolts and nuts. The belt conveyor has a conveyor belt 2. Two frames 6 are sequentially mounted on the conveyor belt 2 along the transport direction. A motor 7 is fixed to the outside of the frame 6 by bolts and nuts. The output shaft of the motor 7 is connected to a rotating rod 8 that passes through the frame 6. The rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the frame 6 through bearings. The rotating rod 8 is located above the conveyor belt 2. Several circular blades 9 for cutting whole chickens are welded on the rotating rod 8. All the circular blades 9 are evenly arranged on the rotating rod 8. Several conveying components 3 for carrying whole chickens are rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 2. All the conveying components 3 are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt 2 along the transport direction.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveyor 3 includes a pallet 10 for carrying a whole chicken. A rotating shaft 11 is welded to the bottom of the pallet 10. The other end of the rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected to a fixed seat through a bearing. The fixed seat is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 2 by bolts and nuts. A ratchet 12 is keyed to the rotating shaft 11.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a support rod 4 welded to the frame 1. A rack 5, which enables the ratchet 12 to rotate 90°, is welded onto the support rod 4. The rack 5 is located between the two frame bodies 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the whole chicken is cut, the motor 7 and the belt conveyor are started. During the operation of the motor 7, the motor 7 drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, and the circular blade 9 rotates with the rotating rod 8. During the operation of the belt conveyor, the conveyor belt 2 drives the fixed seat to move from right to left along the transport direction, so that the rotating shaft 11, ratchet 12 and pallet 10 move along the transport direction, so that the rotating shaft 11, ratchet 12 and pallet 10 pass through the first frame 6, the rack 5 and the second frame 6 in sequence. During the process of the rotating shaft 11, ratchet 12 and pallet 10 passing through the rack 5, the ratchet 12 meshes with the rack 5 and is driven to rotate 90° by the rack 5. The rotating shaft 11 rotates 90° with the ratchet 12, and the pallet 10 rotates 90° with the rotating shaft 11, so that the pallet 10 rotates 90° when passing through the rack 5.

[0030] Simultaneously, the operator places a whole chicken on the pallet 10, allowing it to pass sequentially through the first frame 6, the rack 5, and the second frame 6. As the pallet 10 passes through the first frame 6, the whole chicken is cut into strips by several circular blades 9 rotating with the rotating rod 8 within the first frame 6. Then, as the pallet 10 passes through the rack 5, it rotates 90°, causing the strips of chicken to rotate 90° as well. Finally, as the pallet 10 passes through the second frame 6, the strips of chicken are cut into pieces by several circular blades 9 rotating with the rotating rod 8 within the second frame 6, completing the cutting of the whole chicken. This process eliminates the need for the operator to repeatedly transfer the strips of chicken, simplifying the operation and reducing labor costs.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of limiting rods 14 are welded onto the pallet 10. All the limiting rods 14 enclose an area on the pallet 10 to restrict the position of the whole chicken, and there is a gap between adjacent limiting rods 14 for the circular blade 9 to pass through. When the operator places the whole chicken on the pallet 10, the area enclosed by the limiting rods 14 can restrict the position of the whole chicken, reducing the possibility of the whole chicken falling off the pallet 10 during the conveying and cutting process, and the circular blade 9 can pass through the gap between adjacent limiting rods 14 to cut the whole chicken.

[0032] See Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a pawl 13 that meshes with the ratchet 12 is also included. The pawl 13 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the support plate 10. A torsion spring is welded between the pawl 13 and the bottom of the support plate 10. When the rack 5 drives the ratchet 12 to rotate, the ratchet 12 will push the pawl 13 to disengage from the current tooth slot. At this time, the torsion spring is stretched. Then, as the ratchet 12 continues to rotate, the torsion spring resets, driving the pawl 13 to re-engage in the next tooth slot of the ratchet 12. Thus, after the ratchet 12 completes a 90° rotation through the rack 5, the pawl 13 can engage in the tooth slot of the ratchet 12 to limit the ratchet 12, reducing the possibility that the ratchet 12, the shaft 11 and the support plate 10 will rotate out of the predetermined position due to external forces such as impacts.

[0033] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model. Commonly known technical solutions and / or characteristics are not described in detail here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the technical solution of this invention. These modifications and improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention, and will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this invention or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
