Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a highly adaptable dicing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the catering or food processing industry, food ingredients need to be cut before further processing or cleaning. Dicing food ingredients is a common processing method. Currently, before using dicing equipment to dice food ingredients, at least the steps of slicing and slicing are required in sequence. Therefore, dicing machines are usually equipped with three sets of blades, which are used to slice, slice and dice food ingredients respectively.

[0003] Most existing dicing equipment uses fixed blades in its slicing structure. Food is thrown onto the fixed blades by a roller and cut into slices. However, this structure makes the cutting dependent on the throwing speed. When the throwing speed is insufficient, the slices are prone to uneven thickness or incomplete cutting. Therefore, it is often necessary to increase the speed of the roller. However, when processing soft food, the food is prone to deformation or breakage due to collision caused by high-speed throwing. Therefore, most of them can only process hard food, and their applicable scope of food processing is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to increase the food processing applicability of dicing equipment, this application provides a highly applicable dicing machine.

[0005] This application provides a highly adaptable dicing machine, which adopts the following technical solution: A highly adaptable dicing machine includes a machine body, a material-throwing assembly on one side of the machine body, a slicing blade on the machine body, the slicing blade being close to the material-throwing assembly, a slicing drive component on the machine body for driving the slicing blade to rotate, a strip-cutting assembly and a dicing assembly rotatably connected to the machine body, a drive assembly on the machine body for driving the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly to rotate, a connecting frame on the machine body, a fixing plate being provided at the end of the connecting frame away from the machine body, and both the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly being rotatably connected to the fixing plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when food raw materials need to be diced, the food raw materials can be placed into the slitting assembly for slitting. The slicing drive drives the slicing blade to rotate. After being slitting, the food raw materials are cut into slices by the slicing blade, and then cut into strips and cubes by the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly. The slitting speed of the slitting assembly is independent of the rotation speed of the slicing blade. Therefore, the slitting speed of the slitting assembly does not need to be set too fast, reducing the impact and deformation of soft food raw materials under slitting. The rapid rotation of the slicing blade enables the cutting work to proceed normally, thus enabling both soft and hard foods to be cut and increasing the applicability of food raw materials.

[0007] Optionally, the slicing assembly includes a slicing shaft and a slicing blade, with both ends of the slicing shaft rotatably connected to the machine body and the fixed plate, respectively. The dicing assembly includes a dicing cylinder and a dicing blade, with both ends of the dicing cylinder rotatably connected to the machine body and the fixed plate, respectively.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the food raw materials are sliced, they can be cut into strips and cubes using a strip cutter and a cube cutter, respectively.

[0009] Optionally, the cutting blades are arranged at intervals on the cutting shaft, and a support cylinder is rotatably connected to the machine body. The support cylinder is close to the bottom of the cutting blades, and a clearance groove is provided on the support cylinder, the position of which corresponds to the cutting blades.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the food raw materials are sliced ​​and fall onto the support cylinder, where they can be completely cut by the cutting blade.

[0011] Optionally, a limiting knife comb roller is rotatably connected to the machine body, and a knife comb groove is provided on the limiting knife comb roller, into which the cutting knife is inserted.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting comb roller can limit the top of the food raw material, thereby improving the stability of the cut strips.

[0013] Optionally, the material-slinging assembly includes a material-slinging cylinder, a material-slinging dial, and a material-slinging drive. The material-slinging cylinder is fixedly connected to the machine body, and a material-slinging port is opened on one side of the material-slinging cylinder. The slicing blade is close to the material-slinging port. The material-slinging dial is located inside the material-slinging cylinder and is rotatably connected to the machine body. The material-slinging drive is installed inside the machine body, and the drive end of the material-slinging drive is connected to the material-slinging dial.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the material ejection drive can drive the material ejection disc to rotate, move the food raw materials, and eject them from the material ejection port for cutting.

[0015] Optionally, a thickness adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the material throwing cylinder, the thickness adjustment plate is located at the material throwing port, and the material throwing cylinder is provided with a thickness adjustment component for adjusting the position of the thickness adjustment plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the slice thickness, the position of the thickness adjustment bending plate can be adjusted by adjusting the thickness adjustment component, and the distance between the thickness adjustment bending plate and the slicing blade can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the slice thickness of the food raw materials.

[0017] Optionally, a feed inlet is provided on one side of the feeding cylinder, and a feed hopper is rotatably connected to the feed inlet.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, food raw materials can be put into the feeding hopper and enter the feeding cylinder from the feeding port to work.

[0019] Optionally, a conveying assembly is provided between the slicing blade and the slicing assembly.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the food raw materials are sliced, they can fall onto the conveying component and be transported to the strip-cutting component and the dicing component. The conveying component can buffer the falling food raw materials, thereby improving the cutting stability and cutting quality.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When food ingredients need to be diced, they can be placed into the slitting assembly and slitting out. The slicing drive drives the slicing blade to rotate. After being slitting out, the food ingredients are cut into slices by the slicing blade, and then cut into strips and cubes by the strip cutting assembly and dicing assembly. The slitting speed of the slitting assembly and the rotation speed of the slicing blade are independent of each other. Therefore, the slitting speed of the slitting assembly does not need to be set too fast, which reduces the impact and deformation of soft food ingredients under slitting. The rapid rotation of the slicing blade enables the cutting work to proceed normally, so that both soft and hard foods can be cut, increasing the applicability of food ingredients. 2. After the food ingredients are sliced, they fall onto the support cylinder, where they can be completely cut by the slicing blade thanks to the support of the cylinder. 3. After the food raw materials are sliced, they can fall onto the conveying component and be transported to the strip cutting component and dicing component. The conveying component can buffer the falling food raw materials, thereby improving the cutting stability and cutting quality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a highly adaptable dicing machine.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A highly adaptable dicing machine includes a body 1. A material-throwing assembly is provided on one side of the body 1. A mounting plate 2 is provided on the side of the body 1 near the material-throwing assembly. A slicing blade 21 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting plate 2. The rotation axis of the slicing blade 21 extends horizontally. The slicing blade 21 is close to the material-throwing assembly. A slicing drive component 22 for driving the slicing blade 21 to rotate is provided on the mounting plate 2. The slicing drive component 22 is a motor. The drive end of the slicing drive component 22 is connected to the slicing blade 21. A strip-cutting assembly and a dicing assembly are rotatably connected on the side of the body 1 near the material-throwing assembly. A drive assembly for driving the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly to rotate is provided on the body 1. A connecting frame 11 is provided on the side of the body 1 near the material-throwing assembly. A fixing plate 12 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 11 away from the body 1. The strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly are rotatably connected to the fixing plate 12.

[0030] When dicing food ingredients, the ingredients can be placed into the feeding assembly. After being output from the feeding assembly, the ingredients pass through the slicing blade 21. Driven by the slicing drive 22, the slicing blade 21 rotates rapidly to slice the ingredients. After slicing, the ingredients pass through the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly in sequence for strip-cutting and dicing. Since the feeding assembly and the slicing blade 21 are independent of each other, the feeding speed of the feeding assembly and the rotation speed of the slicing blade 21 can be adjusted. Because the slicing blade 21 is rotating during slicing, the ingredients are more easily sliced, improving cutting accuracy. This method is suitable for most soft and hard ingredients. Therefore, the feeding speed of the feeding assembly does not need to be set too fast, thereby reducing the impact and deformation of soft food ingredients under high-speed feeding, increasing the applicability of the ingredients, and enabling both soft and hard foods to be cut well. It also increases the cutting speed and reduces debris. The slicing blade 21 has a "self-cleaning" effect when rotating, reducing jamming. The fixing plate 12 can improve the stability of the strip-cutting assembly and the dicing assembly.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The slicing assembly is located between the slicing blade 21 and the dicing assembly. The slicing assembly includes a slicing shaft 3 and a slicing blade 31. The two ends of the slicing shaft 3 are rotatably connected to the machine body 1 and the fixed plate 12 respectively through bearings. The dicing blade 31 is connected to the slicing shaft 3. The dicing assembly includes a dicing cylinder 4 and a dicing blade 41. The two ends of the dicing cylinder 4 are rotatably connected to the machine body 1 and the fixed plate 12 respectively through bearings. The dicing blade 41 is circumferentially distributed on the outer periphery of the dicing cylinder 4. The drive assembly can drive the slicing shaft 3 and the dicing cylinder 4 to rotate.

[0032] After the food ingredients are sliced, they can be cut into strips and cubes respectively by the strip cutter 31 and the cube cutter 41, thus completing the cutting step. The fixing plate 12 can improve the stability of the strip cutting shaft 3 and the cube cutting cylinder 4, and reduce the possibility of displacement of the strip cutting shaft 3 and the cube cutting cylinder 4.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a drive motor (existing technology, not shown in the figures) installed inside the body 1. The drive end of the drive motor is connected to the slicing shaft 3 and the dicing cylinder 4 respectively through gear transmission, thereby driving the slicing shaft 3 and the dicing cylinder 4 to rotate.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The number of cutting blades 31 is not less than two. The cutting blades 31 are arranged at intervals on the cutting shaft 3. A support cylinder 13 is rotatably connected to the side of the machine body 1 near the material throwing assembly. The rotation axis of the support cylinder 13 extends in the horizontal direction. The support cylinder 13 is close to the bottom of the cutting blades 31. A clearance groove 131 is provided on the support cylinder 13. The position and number of clearance grooves 131 correspond to the cutting blades 31. A rotating motor 132 is provided inside the machine body 1. The drive end of the rotating motor 132 is connected to the support cylinder 13 to drive the support cylinder 13 to rotate. The end of the support cylinder 13 away from the machine body 1 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 12.

[0035] After the food ingredients are sliced, they can fall onto the support cylinder 13. The food ingredients can be completely cut by the slicing knife 31 with the support of the support cylinder 13, ensuring the cutting quality. When the rotating motor 132 drives the support cylinder 13 to rotate, it can transport the food ingredients to the slicing knife 31 and the dicing knife 41.

[0036] A limiting knife comb roller 14 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1. The limiting knife comb roller 14 is located above the cutting knife 31. The limiting knife comb roller 14 has a knife comb groove 141. The position and number of the knife comb groove 141 correspond to the cutting knife 31. The top of the cutting knife 31 is inserted into the knife comb groove 141. The bottom of the limiting knife comb roller 14 is close to the top of the support cylinder 13. The end of the limiting knife comb roller 14 away from the machine body 1 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 12 to improve stability and reduce the possibility of hard food such as hard bones or cartilage in the meat lifting the limiting knife comb roller 14.

[0037] When the food raw material is sliced ​​and falls onto the support cylinder 13 for cutting into strips, the limiting comb roller 14 can limit the top of the sliced ​​food raw material, reduce irregular movement of the food raw material during cutting, and improve the stability of the cutting.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The material-throwing assembly includes a material-throwing cylinder 51, a material-throwing dial 52, and a material-throwing drive 53. The material-throwing cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the machine body 1. The material-throwing cylinder 51 is cylindrical, and a material-throwing port 511 is opened on one side of the material-throwing cylinder 51. The slicing blade 21 is close to the material-throwing port 511. The material-throwing dial 52 is located inside the material-throwing cylinder 51. The material-throwing dial 52 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the machine body 1 through a rotating shaft. The rotation axis of the material-throwing dial 52 extends horizontally and is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the slicing blade 21. The material-throwing drive 53 is installed inside the machine body 1. The material-throwing drive 53 is a motor. The drive end of the material-throwing drive 53 is connected to the material-throwing dial 52. A dial plate 521 is connected to the side wall of the material-throwing dial 52.

[0039] After the food raw material enters the feeding cylinder 51, the feeding drive 53 can drive the feeding dial 52 to rotate. The dial 521 moves the food raw material, causing it to move in a circular motion inside the feeding cylinder 51. When the food raw material moves to the feeding port 511, it can be cut into slices by the slicing blade 21 and thrown out from the feeding port 511 for the next cutting operation.

[0040] A thickness adjustment bending plate 54 is rotatably connected to the material discharge cylinder 51. The thickness adjustment bending plate 54 is located at the discharge port 511. The end of the thickness adjustment bending plate 54 near the discharge port 511 is arc-shaped and concave, thus forming an arc-shaped opening with a similar arc to that of the slicing blade 21 at the discharge port 511. The material discharge cylinder 51 is provided with a thickness adjustment assembly for adjusting the position of the thickness adjustment bending plate 54. The thickness adjustment assembly includes a connecting plate 55, a rotating rod 56, and an adjusting screw 57. The connecting plate 55 is installed on the top of the material discharge cylinder 51. The rotating rod 56 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 55. The adjusting screw 57 passes through the rotating rod 56 and is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 56. A connecting block 541 is provided on the top of the thickness adjustment bending plate 54. A connecting rod 542 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the connecting block 541. The end of the adjusting screw 57 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 542.

[0041] When it is necessary to adjust the slice thickness, the adjusting screw 57 can be rotated to change the position of the adjusting screw 57 and the rotating rod 56, thereby moving the connecting rod 542 and the thickness adjustment bending plate 54, thus adjusting the distance between the thickness adjustment bending plate 54 and the slicing blade 21 and changing the slice thickness.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding cylinder 51 has an inlet on one side, and a feeding hopper 58 is rotatably connected to the feeding inlet. During processing, food raw materials can be put into the feeding hopper 58 and enter the feeding cylinder 51 through the feeding inlet for processing.

[0043] A conveying assembly is provided between the slicing blade 21 and the cutting shaft 3. The conveying assembly includes a conveying roller 61, a conveyor belt 62 and a conveying motor 63. The conveying roller 61 is rotatably connected to the side of the machine body 1 near the discharge cylinder 51. The conveyor belt 62 is wound around the conveying roller 61. The conveying motor 63 is located inside the machine body 1 and the drive end of the conveying motor 63 is connected to the conveying roller 61.

[0044] After the food ingredients are sliced, they can fall onto the conveyor belt 62, and then be transported by the conveyor belt 62 to the support cylinder 13 for cutting into strips. The conveyor belt 62 can buffer and dampen the falling food ingredients, so that the food ingredients are spread on the conveyor belt 62 as much as possible, reducing the situation where the food ingredients bounce around after falling.

[0045] The side wall of the machine body 1 is provided with a protective cover 15, which covers the slicing knife 21, the limiting knife comb roller 14, the strip cutting knife 31 and the dicing knife 41. The bottom end of the protective cover 15 is provided with a discharge port, so that the food raw materials can fall out from the discharge port after cutting for easy collection.

[0046] The implementation principle of a highly applicable dicing machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When food raw materials need to be diced, the food raw materials can be placed in the slitting drum 51 and slit out. The slicing is carried out by the rapidly rotating slicing blade 21. After slicing, the slices are sent to the support cylinder 13 by the conveyor belt 62 for slicing into strips, and then diced. After dicing, the diced food drops out from the discharge port of the protective cover 15. The rotation of the slicing blade 21 can reduce the need to set the slitting speed of the slitting drum 51 too fast, thereby reducing the impact and deformation of soft food raw materials under high-speed slitting and increasing the applicability of food raw materials, so that both soft and hard foods can be diced.

[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application. These embodiments are only explanations of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
