Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toothpick meat processing equipment, specifically to a novel toothpick meat skewering device. Background Technology
[0002] Toothpick meat, as a flavored food, is loved by a wide range of consumers, and the market demand for it is relatively large. Currently, there are two methods for skewering toothpick meat: one is manual skewering, which has low processing efficiency and high labor costs, suitable for small food workshops; the other is automatic skewering, where the meat is placed in a tank and toothpicks are pushed to skewer it. However, the latter method can only skewer one piece at a time, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, when the meat is thin, this side-skewering method may fail to skewer it, posing a significant drawback. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a novel toothpick meat skewering device that facilitates skewering multiple meats with toothpicks at once, thereby improving efficiency and enabling the skewering of even thinner meats.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a novel toothpick meat skewering device, comprising a meat product conveying mechanism, a toothpick conveying mechanism, and a pressing mechanism. A platform is installed on the ground, and the meat product conveying mechanism is mounted on the platform. A placement groove is provided on the meat product conveying mechanism, and meat is placed in the placement groove. A toothpick conveying mechanism is located on one side of the meat product conveying mechanism. A toothpick storage component, which moves synchronously with the meat product conveying mechanism, is located between the toothpick conveying mechanism and the meat product conveying mechanism. A pressing mechanism is located on one side of the toothpick storage component, through which toothpicks are inserted into the meat product. A cutting component is located above the placement groove. The toothpick conveying mechanism includes a toothpick box, a transfer wheel, and a toothpick conveying chain. The transfer wheel is driven by a stepper motor and has multiple slots for inserting single toothpicks. The toothpick box is located on one side of the transfer wheel and has an opening on the side closest to the transfer wheel. An arc-shaped plate is provided on the outer periphery of the transfer wheel, which presses the toothpicks into the slots. A toothpick conveying chain is provided on the other side of the transfer wheel, and multiple sets of toothpick temporary storage components are installed on the toothpick conveying chain. An embedding groove for inserting toothpicks is provided on the top of the toothpick temporary storage component. The toothpick temporary storage component is located directly below the arc-shaped plate, and a pushing component is provided directly above the toothpick temporary storage component. Multiple through slots are opened on both sides of the placement slot. The through slots are coaxial with the embedding slot of the toothpick storage component. The toothpicks embedded in the slot complete the skewering of meat products through the through slots.
[0005] Preferably, there are two transfer wheels arranged opposite each other, mounted on a stepper motor-driven shaft. A first sprocket is mounted on the shaft via bearings, and a second sprocket, driven by a motor, is mounted on the table via bearings and bearing seats. The toothpick conveyor chain meshes with the first and second sprockets, and the toothpick conveyor chain is synchronously conveyed with the meat product conveying mechanism. Multiple sets of toothpick temporary storage components are arranged around the toothpick conveyor chain, and the toothpick temporary storage components are connected to the toothpick conveyor chain, which drives the toothpick temporary storage components to move. The pushing component is a synchronous belt, located above the toothpick temporary storage components. The synchronous belt is driven by a motor and a synchronous wheel, and multiple slides are installed on the synchronous belt. A sliding block is locked in each slide, and a return spring is set between the slide and the sliding block. Push plates with equal spacing are installed at the bottom of the sliding block. The push plates are locked into the embedding groove, and at the same time, the push plates push the toothpicks into the placement groove, thus realizing the skewering of meat products.
[0006] Preferably, the meat product conveying mechanism includes a chain, a third sprocket, and conveying plates. Multiple conveying plates are placed side by side on the table. A flow groove for the chain to be embedded is opened at the top of the table. Third sprockets driven by motors are installed at both ends of the table. The conveying plates are connected to the chain. Two fixed baffles are installed on each conveying plate. The gap between the fixed baffles forms a placement groove. Meat is placed in the placement groove. Through slots are opened on the fixed baffles.
[0007] Preferably, a groove is formed on the conveyor plate between the fixed baffles, and a lifting plate is embedded in the groove. An inclined groove is formed on the lifting plate, and an inclined block that fits against the inclined surface of the inclined groove is inserted into the inclined groove. A linkage rod is installed on the inclined block. A guide groove is formed on the conveyor plate for the linkage rod to be embedded and slide. An upwardly extending limiting rod is installed at the end of the linkage rod away from the inclined block. A spring is set between the guide groove and the linkage rod. The spring makes the inclined block move away from the inclined groove. A limiting plate with both ends inclined outward is set above the conveyor plate. When the limiting rod moves to the limiting plate, the lifting plate is lifted. A groove is also formed on the top of the lifting plate to allow toothpicks to move. The pressing mechanism includes a pressing plate, a pressing belt, and pressing blocks. A pressing belt is set above the conveyor plate. The pressing belt is sleeved on two rollers driven by a motor. Multiple pressing plates are set on the pressing belt and arranged side by side. Two pressing blocks are set on each pressing plate. The pressing blocks are located on both sides of the lifting plate. The pressing belt moves synchronously with the chain.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: it makes it easy to pierce meat with multiple toothpicks at once, thus improving efficiency, and it can also pierce relatively thin meat. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figure 1-10As shown, a novel toothpick meat skewering device includes a meat product conveying mechanism 1, a toothpick conveying mechanism 19, and a pressing mechanism 36. A platform 40 is bolted to the ground, and the meat product conveying mechanism 1 is mounted on the platform 40. A placement trough 2 is provided on the meat product conveying mechanism 1, and meat is placed in the placement trough 2. The meat product is conveyed from left to right by the meat product conveying mechanism 1. A toothpick conveying mechanism 19 is located behind the meat product conveying mechanism 1. A toothpick temporary storage component 28, which moves synchronously with the meat product conveying mechanism 1, is located between the toothpick conveying mechanism 19 and the meat product conveying mechanism 1. The toothpick is conveyed to the toothpick temporary storage component 28 by the toothpick conveying mechanism 19. The meat product is conveyed to the toothpick temporary storage component 28 on one side. A pressing mechanism 36 is provided above the conveying mechanism 1. The pressing mechanism 36 presses the meat products in the placement trough 2, which facilitates pressing. A cutting component 41 is provided above the placement trough 2. The cutting component 41 cuts the meat products, thus separating the toothpick meat. The cutting component 41 is a roller cutter. The roller cutter consists of multiple cutting blades fixed to the outer circumference of the roller by bolts. The cutting blades are in contact with the bottom of the placement trough 2. The roller is mounted on the gantry frame by bearings. The two ends of the gantry frame are mounted on the table 40 by bolts. A motor is installed on the gantry frame to drive the roller to rotate. The linear speed of the cutting blades is the same as the linear speed of the meat product conveying mechanism 1. The rotating cutting blades cut the meat products. The toothpick conveying mechanism 19 includes a toothpick box 20, a transfer wheel 21, and a toothpick conveying chain 26. The transfer wheel 21 is fixed to the output shaft of a stepper motor by welding. The stepper motor drives the transfer wheel 21 to rotate. Multiple grooves for inserting single toothpicks are formed on the transfer wheel 21, arranged in a circular array along its circumference. The toothpick box 20 is located on the left side of the transfer wheel 21, with an opening on the side closest to the transfer wheel 21. Toothpicks are placed inside the toothpick holder 20. The bottom of the toothpick holder 20 is sloped, allowing the toothpicks to move along the slope towards the transfer wheel 21. The toothpicks are then inserted into the groove of the transfer wheel 21, and the rotation of the transfer wheel 21 transports them away. An arc-shaped plate 25 is provided on the outer periphery of the transfer wheel 21. The outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 25 is bolted to the frame, which is bolted to the rear side of the table 40. The arc-shaped plate 25 and the transfer wheel 21 are coaxially mounted. The outer wall of the transfer wheel 21 and the arc-shaped plate... The inner wall of the curved plate 25 contacts the toothpick, preventing it from falling out of the groove of the transfer wheel 21. The curved plate 25 presses the toothpick into the groove. A toothpick conveyor chain 26 is provided on the right side of the transfer wheel 21. Multiple sets of toothpick storage components 28 are installed side by side on the toothpick conveyor chain 26. The top of the toothpick storage component 28 has an embedding groove 29 for inserting the toothpick. The toothpick storage component 28 is located directly below the curved plate 25. When the transfer wheel 21 conveys toothpicks clockwise, when the transfer wheel 25... When the toothpick in the toothpick 1 is inserted into the embedded groove 29, the toothpick storage component 28 moves to the right, so that the toothpick is disengaged from the groove on the transfer wheel 21. The toothpick is then conveyed to the right through the toothpick storage component 28. A pushing component 30 is provided directly above the toothpick storage component 28. The pushing component 30 pushes the toothpick in the toothpick storage component 28 forward, so that the toothpick in the toothpick storage component 28 is inserted into the placement groove 2. The meat products in the placement groove 2 are then pierced by the toothpick. Multiple through slots 18 are opened on the front and rear sides of the placement slot 2. The through slots are coaxial with the embedding slots 29 of the toothpick storage component 28. When working, the toothpick storage component 28 and the through slots move synchronously. When the toothpick in the toothpick storage component 28 is pushed by the pushing component 30, the toothpick in the embedding slot 29 completes the piercing of the meat product through the through slot 18 and leaves the toothpick storage component 28. In this way, the toothpick is inserted into the meat product and is conveyed to the right with the meat product conveying mechanism 1.
[0022] Two transfer wheels 21 are arranged side-by-side, one in front of the other, facing each other. The two transfer wheels 21 are bolted to a stepper motor-driven shaft 22. A first sprocket 23 is mounted on the shaft 22 via bearings. The first sprocket 23 fits onto the shaft 22. Because of the bearing between the shaft 22 and the first sprocket 23, they rotate relative to each other. A second sprocket 24, driven by a motor, is mounted on the rear side of the platform 40 via bearings and bearing housings. The second sprocket 24 rotates, and the toothpick conveyor chain 26 engages with the first sprocket 23 and the second sprocket 24, thus enabling the toothpick conveyor chain 26 to move. The toothpick conveyor chain 26 is synchronously conveyed with the meat product conveyor mechanism 1, allowing the toothpicks and meat products to move synchronously, which facilitates the insertion of toothpicks into the meat products in the placement slot 2. The toothpick temporary storage component 28 is riveted to the toothpick conveyor chain 26, so that the toothpick temporary storage component 28 moves together with the toothpick conveyor chain 26, and the toothpick conveyor chain 26 drives the toothpick temporary storage component 28. The toothpick storage component 28 moves; the pushing component 30 is the synchronous belt 31, which is located above the toothpick storage component 28 and perpendicular to the toothpick conveyor chain 26. The synchronous belt 31 is driven by a motor and a synchronous pulley, which is mounted on the frame via bearings. The motor is mounted on the frame and drives the synchronous belt 31 to rotate. Multiple horizontally arranged slide rails 32 are installed on the synchronous belt 31, and a sliding block 33 that moves left and right is engaged in each slide rail. A return spring 34 is provided between the slide rail 32 and the sliding block 33. The two ends of the spring 34 are fixed between the slide rail 32 and the sliding block 33 by welding. The sliding block 33 is pulled back to the left by the return spring 34, which is located on the left side of the sliding block 33. The push plates 35 are installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the sliding block 33 by welding. The push plates 35 are arranged longitudinally and are inserted into the embedding groove 29. At the same time, the push plates 35 push the toothpick into the placement groove 2. In this way, the toothpick leaves the toothpick temporary storage component 28 and is inserted into the meat product in the placement groove 2, thus realizing the skewering of the meat product.During operation, toothpicks are placed in the toothpick storage assembly 28 and conveyed to the right. Simultaneously, the sliding block 33 at the bottom of the timing belt 31 moves forward. As the sliding block 33 moves forward, the push plate 35 below it engages in the embedding groove 29. When the bottom of the timing belt 31 moves forward, the push plate 35 pushes the toothpicks in the embedding groove 29 forward, thus inserting the toothpicks into the placement groove 2 and piercing the meat products. Since the toothpick storage assembly 28 and the meat product conveying mechanism 1 are still moving during piercing, the push plate 35 follows the toothpick storage assembly 28 during toothpick piercing. The push plate 35 moves, and after it separates from the toothpick storage component 28, the sliding block 33 on the push plate 35 moves to the left under the action of the return spring 34. Thus, when the push plate 35 quickly pushes the toothpick, it moves to the right along with the toothpick storage component 28. This way, the meat product conveying mechanism 1 does not need to stop during toothpick pushing. When the push plate 35 pushes the toothpick into place, it leaves the embedding groove 29 and moves to the left to separate from the toothpick. The synchronous belt 31 then moves quickly, transporting the push plate 35 above it, thus achieving toothpick pushing.
[0023] The meat product conveying mechanism 1 includes a chain 4, a third sprocket 5, and conveying plates 6. Multiple conveying plates 6 are placed side-by-side on a tabletop 40, hinged together to form a ring around the tabletop 40. The conveying plates 6 transport along the tabletop 40. A flow groove 7 is formed at the top of the tabletop 40 for the chain 4 to embed into, allowing it to move. Third sprockets 5, driven by a motor, are mounted on the left and right ends of the tabletop 40 via bearings, driving the chain 4 for transport. The conveying plates 6 are connected to the chain 4 by rivets, thus enabling the chain 4 to move the tabletop 40. The conveyor plate 6 moves to the right; two fixed baffles 8 are fixed on each conveyor plate 6 by integral injection molding, and the gap between the fixed baffles 8 forms a placement groove 2 for placing meat products. Meat is placed in the placement groove 2. The slot 18 is opened on the fixed baffle 8, so that when the toothpick is inserted into the meat product, the toothpick extends into the placement groove 2 through the slot 18 of the fixed baffle 8. When working, the push plate 35 pushes the toothpick embedded in the groove 29 forward, so that the tip of the toothpick passes through the slot 18 of the fixed baffle 8 and extends into the placement groove 2, thus inserting the meat product in the placement groove 2.
[0024] A downwardly recessed groove 9 is formed on the conveyor plate 6 between the fixed baffles 8. A lifting plate 10, which moves up and down within the groove 9, is embedded in the groove 9. An inclined groove 11 is formed on the lifting plate 10. An inclined block 12, which is in contact with the inclined surface of the inclined groove 11, is inserted into the inclined groove 11. The lifting plate 10 moves up and down by sliding the inclined block 12. A linkage rod 13 is installed on the inclined block 12 by welding. A guide groove 14 is formed on the conveyor plate 6 for the linkage rod 13 to be embedded and slide. The guide groove 14 is parallel to the conveyor plate 6. The linkage rod 13 is embedded in the guide groove 14 and slides. An upwardly extending limiting rod 15 is fixed by welding at the end of the linkage rod 13 away from the inclined block 12 (i.e., the front section of the linkage rod 13). A lifting plate 10 is formed on the conveyor plate 6. A waist-shaped hole communicates with the guide groove 14, and a limiting rod 15 extends out of the waist-shaped hole. A spring 16 is provided between the guide groove 14 and the linkage rod 13 (the spring 16 is sleeved on the linkage rod 13, and the two ends of the spring 16 are fixed to the guide groove 14 and the linkage rod 13 by welding). The spring 16 moves the inclined block 12 away from the inclined groove 11, so that the lifting plate 10 is lowered to be flush with the top of the conveyor plate 6. A limiting plate 17 with both ends tilted outward is provided above the conveyor plate 6. The bottom of the limiting plate 17 contacts the top of the conveyor plate 6. The limiting plate 17 is welded to the bracket. The other end of the bracket is bolted to the table surface 40. The middle section of the limiting plate 17 is flat, and the left and right ends of the limiting plate 17 are tilted towards the front. When the inclined plane is inclined, the limiting rod 15 moves to the limiting plate 17, the limiting plate 17 pushes the limiting rod 15 backward, so the inclined block 12 moves backward, and the lifting plate 10 rises and protrudes from the top of the conveyor plate 6. The top of the lifting plate 10 also has a groove to allow toothpicks to pass through. In this way, the lifting plate 10 lifts the middle section of the meat product upward. For relatively thin meat products, the middle of the meat product is higher and the two ends are lower, which makes it easier for toothpicks to pass through. The pressing mechanism 36 includes a pressing plate 37, a pressing belt 38 and a pressing block 39. The pressing belt 38 is set above the conveyor plate 6. The pressing belt 38 is sleeved on two rollers driven by a motor. The rollers are mounted on the mounting plate by bearings. The motor is also bolted to the mounting plate. On the mounting plate, multiple pressing plates 37 arranged side by side are installed on the pressing belt 38 (the outer wall of the pressing belt has threaded holes for bolt engagement) by bolt fastening. The pressing plates 37 are only used for piercing relatively thin slices of meat. When piercing large pieces of meat, the pressing plates 37 are not needed and can be removed. When the pressing plates 37 need to be used, they are installed on the pressing belt 38 by bolts. Two pressure blocks 39 are installed on each pressing plate 37 by bolts. The pressure blocks 39 are located on both sides of the lifting plate 10. The pressing belt 38 moves synchronously with the chain 4. The pressure blocks 39 press down the meat products on both sides of the lifting plate 10. There are also notches at the bottom of the pressure blocks 39 to make way for toothpicks, so that toothpicks can be inserted.
