Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beef processing technology, specifically to a beef grading and cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] The beef grading and cutting device is an intelligent equipment that integrates detection and identification, grading determination, and automated cutting functions. It is mainly used in the beef slaughtering and processing process. By quickly detecting and analyzing the quality characteristics of beef (such as meat grade, cut, size, etc.), it realizes automatic grading of beef according to preset standards and drives the cutting mechanism to complete the cutting process that meets the corresponding grade or purpose, ultimately improving the efficiency, accuracy and standardization of beef processing.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese utility model patent, CN222898197U, which discloses a beef uniform slicing device. The device includes a base plate, a first support plate on the top surface of the base plate, and a second support plate on one side of the top surface of the base plate. A first bidirectional lead screw is rotatably mounted between the first and second support plates. A second motor is mounted on one end of the first bidirectional lead screw, penetrating the side wall of the second support plate. Clamping plates are symmetrically mounted on the first bidirectional lead screw, penetrating and threadedly connected to it. A push plate is mounted on the top surface of the base plate between the first and second support plates, and sliding plates are symmetrically mounted on both sides of the push plate. This utility model has the advantages of clamping the beef during the cutting process, increasing the stability of the meat, improving the uniformity of beef slicing, and scraping off beef slices or bits of meat adhering to the cutting blade surface, thus saving manpower.

[0004] However, this device lacks the function of ensuring the quality of beef when slicing it. When in use, because the surface of fresh beef is sticky and the surface of the cutting machine is mostly made of metal, the beef is very easy to stick to the processing table. The device clamps the beef with two clamping plates and then pushes the beef with a pusher plate. When the beef is pushed, there is friction between the beef and its bottom plane and the contact surface with the two clamping plates, which can easily cause the surface of the beef to be torn and affect the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a beef grading and cutting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A beef grading and cutting device includes a base, a pusher platform fixedly connected to the top of the base, a plurality of rotating rods rotatably connected inside the pusher platform, a clamping plate slidably connected to the top of the pusher platform, a plurality of rotating rods rotatably connected inside the clamping plate, a bidirectional lead screw inserted into each of the clamping plates, a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the edge of the base, a top plate fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a pushing assembly fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate near the edge.

[0007] Preferably, the jacking assembly includes a hydraulic rod one, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the top plate, a horizontal plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of which, a hydraulic rod two fixedly connected to the side of the horizontal plate near the bidirectional lead screw, and a push plate fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic rod two away from the horizontal plate.

[0008] Preferably, a camera is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate near its center, a sensor is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate near the camera, and a controller is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate near the sensor.

[0009] Preferably, a cutting table is fixedly connected to the top of the base away from the push table, a blade holder is fixedly connected to the top of the base near the cutting table, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the blade holder near its edge, a blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the blade holder near the electric push rod, and a blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod.

[0010] Preferably, one end of each of the two bidirectional lead screws is fixedly connected to a servo motor output shaft, the servo motor is fixedly connected to the top plate, and a support rod is sleeved on the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw near its end, the bottom end of the support rod being fixedly connected to the base.

[0011] Preferably, a slider is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate, and a groove is provided on the pusher near the slider, with the slider slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the horizontal cross-section of the first blade is rectangular, and the horizontal cross-section of the second blade is E-shaped.

[0013] Preferably, the front view of the clamp is U-shaped.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This beef grading and cutting device, through the arrangement of clamping plates, a pusher table, rotating rod one, rotating rod two, and a pusher assembly, operates as follows: When in use, servo motor one starts, driving a bidirectional lead screw to rotate, causing the two clamping plates to approach and contact the beef without clamping it tightly. Hydraulic rod one lowers the horizontal plate, and hydraulic rod two drives the pusher plate to push the beef towards the blade. The beef surface contacts rotating rod one and rotating rod two, which rotate, assisting in pushing the beef to the cutting table. An electric pusher drives the corresponding blade to descend and cut the intermittently pushed beef. Through the arrangement of rotating rod one and rotating rod two and the clamping plates, the pushing process is smooth and stable, and the beef remains centered, reducing the possibility of surface tearing due to the stickiness of fresh beef during pushing. Simultaneously, the centered pushing reduces uneven cutting caused by large sliding amplitude during cutting.

[0015] This beef grading and slicing device, through the setup of a camera, sensors, and a controller, works as follows: when the beef is fed to the pusher, the camera captures images and transmits the information of the beef cuts to the controller in the form of digital electrical signals, and the sensors transmit key quality data to the controller in the form of digital electrical signals. After analyzing and processing the data, the controller sends instructions to either the first or second electric pusher rod to determine whether to slice or cut the beef into chunks based on its quality, thereby achieving the effect of grading and slicing.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: The beef grading and cutting device includes a base 1, a pusher platform 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, several rotating rods 3 rotatably connected inside the pusher platform 2, a clamping plate 4 slidably connected to the top of the pusher platform 2, several rotating rods 5 rotatably connected inside the clamping plate 4, and a bidirectional lead screw 6 inserted inside each clamping plate 4. A support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the edge of the base 1, a top plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 7, and a push assembly 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 8 near the edge. In use, the bidirectional lead screw 6 is driven to rotate, causing the two clamping plates 4 to approach and contact the beef but not clamp it tightly. The push assembly 9 is driven to push the beef towards the blade. The surface of the beef contacts the rotating rods 3 and 5, and the rotating rods 3 and 5 rotate, assisting in pushing the beef to the cutting table 17. The corresponding blade descends, intermittently pushing the beef. The forward-moving beef cutter, through the arrangement of rotating rod 3, rotating rod 5, and clamping plate 4, ensures a smooth and stable pushing process, keeping the beef centered throughout. This reduces the risk of surface tearing due to the stickiness of fresh beef during pushing. Simultaneously, the centered pushing reduces uneven cutting caused by excessive sliding during the cutting process. The pushing component in the pushing assembly uses intermittent pushing, such as intermittently extending hydraulic rods. Both rotating rod 3 and rotating rod 5 consist of two parts: a larger diameter main body and a smaller diameter core, which are fixedly connected. The core is inserted into the pushing platform 2 and clamping plate 4, while the main body protrudes from their surfaces, facilitating rotation and conveying of the beef, and preventing the beef from sticking to the surfaces of the pushing platform 2 or clamping plate 4, which would prevent uninterrupted pushing.

[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, the push assembly 9 includes a hydraulic rod 10, the top end of which is fixedly connected to the top plate 8, and a horizontal plate 11 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 10. A hydraulic rod 2 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the horizontal plate 11 near the bidirectional lead screw 6, and a push plate 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic rod 2 12 away from the horizontal plate 11. In use, the bidirectional lead screw 6 is driven to rotate, causing the two clamping plates 4 to approach and contact the beef but not clamp it tightly. The hydraulic rod 10 is driven to lower the horizontal plate 11, and the hydraulic rod 2 12 is activated to drive the push plate 13 to push the beef toward the blade. The surface of the beef contacts the rotating rod 1 3 and the rotating rod 2 5. The rotating rod 1 3 and the rotating rod 2 5 rotate, assisting in pushing the beef to the cutting table 17. The push rod drives the corresponding blade to descend and cut the intermittently pushed beef. Through the setting of the first rotating rod 3, the second rotating rod 5, and the clamping plate 4, the pushing process is smooth and stable, and the beef is always centered. This reduces the occurrence of surface tearing when the surface of fresh beef is pushed due to its stickiness. At the same time, the centered pushing reduces the occurrence of uneven cutting caused by large sliding amplitude when the beef is cut. Among them, there are two hydraulic rods 10, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the top of the horizontal plate 11, and four hydraulic rods 12, which are evenly distributed on the side of the push plate 13 near the horizontal plate 11, to ensure uniform force application. The second hydraulic rod 12 is a hydraulic rod that can be intermittently extended. The specific details are existing technology and will not be explained in detail.

[0021] In this embodiment, preferably, a camera 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 8 near its center, a sensor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 8 near the camera 14, and a controller 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 8 near the sensor 15. In use, the beef is conveyed to the pusher 2, the camera 14 takes a picture and transmits the beef part information to the controller 16 in the form of a digital electrical signal, and the sensor 15 transmits key quality data to the controller 16 in the form of a digital electrical signal. After analyzing and processing the data, the controller 16 sends instructions to either the electric push rod 19 or the electric push rod 21 to determine whether to slice or cut the beef into chunks based on its quality. This achieves the effect of grading and cutting. Among them, camera 14 is an industrial camera with supplementary lighting, which is responsible for identifying the parts and surface patterns of beef. Sensor 15 is an infrared sensor, which is responsible for detecting fat content, supplementing key quality data, and realizing multi-dimensional judgment of beef quality. It provides data support for accurate grading and cutting. Both transmit data to controller 16 in the form of digital electrical signals. Controller 16 is a PLC controller, which centrally analyzes and processes the data and sends instructions to servo motor 23 and electric push rod 19 or electric push rod 21 to realize grading and cutting. The above are all existing technologies and will not be explained in detail.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, a cutting table 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 away from the pusher 2, and a knife holder 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 near the cutting table 17. An electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the knife holder 18 near its edge, and a blade 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 19. An electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the knife holder 18 near the electric push rod 19, and a blade 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rod 21. In use, the electric push rod 19 is activated, which moves the blade 20 down to slice the beef. The electric push rod 21 is activated, which moves the blade 22 down to cut the beef into chunks, achieving a graded cutting effect. The knife holder 18 has an L-shaped slot, in which a card plate is engaged. The card plate extends horizontally and then vertically from the side of the knife holder 18, basically covering the blade to avoid endangering worker safety. When cleaning the blade, the card plate can be pulled up and removed. When installing the card plate, it can be inserted and then engaged in the slot by its own weight.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, one end of each of the two bidirectional lead screws 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a servo motor 23. The servo motor 23 is fixedly connected to the top plate 8. A support rod 24 is sleeved on the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 6 near its end. The bottom end of the support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the base 1. In use, the servo motor 23 is fixedly mounted on the top plate 8, and the bidirectional lead screw 6 rotates inside the support rods 24 sleeved at both ends to achieve stable operation. In this embodiment, each bidirectional lead screw 6 is provided with two support rods 24, and the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 6 near both sides of the support rod 24 is provided with clips to prevent the bidirectional lead screw 6 from falling off the support plate 7. In addition, a cleaning ring is sleeved on the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 6. The cleaning ring is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 4 and moves on the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 6 as the clamping plate 4 moves. The cleaning ring uses its internal cleaning brush to clean the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 6, reducing the probability of the bidirectional lead screw 6 being affected by external factors.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, a slider 25 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate 4, and a groove 26 is provided on the pusher 2 near the slider 25. The slider 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 26. In use, the clamping plate 4 drives the slider 25 to slide inside the groove 26, ensuring that the clamping plate 4 is supported and slides smoothly. Two elastic strips are fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the groove 26 near its opening. The two strips are staggered and located away from the slider 25. The two elastic strips cover the groove 26 to prevent dust, meat scraps, etc. from falling into the groove 26. The sliding direction of the slider 25 is the same as the overall arrangement direction of the two elastic strips, so it will not affect the sliding of the slider 25.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the horizontal cross-section of blade 20 is rectangular and the horizontal cross-section of blade 22 is E-shaped. When in use, if blade 20 moves down, it slices the beef; if blade 22 moves down, it cuts the beef into chunks, thus achieving graded cutting. Blade 22 has a top view similar to an E-shape, but with more branches than an E-shape, making it convenient to cut the beef into several chunks evenly at once.

[0026] In this embodiment, preferably, the front view of the clamping plate 4 is U-shaped. When in use, the two clamping plates 4 approach each other under the action of the two bidirectional lead screws 6 at their tops to limit the beef. The middle part of the two clamping plates 4 is hollow, so that its front view is U-shaped. On the one hand, it reduces the weight of the clamping plate 4 and facilitates rapid mechanical transmission. On the other hand, the shape is adapted to the setting of the two bidirectional lead screws 6.

[0027] Working principle: In this embodiment, when the beef grading and cutting device is in use, the beef is conveyed to the pusher 2. The camera 14 takes pictures and transmits the information of the beef parts to the controller 16 in the form of digital electrical signals. The sensor 15 transmits key quality data to the controller 16 in the form of digital electrical signals. After analyzing and processing the data, the controller 16 sends a command to the servo motor 23, which drives the bidirectional lead screw 6 to rotate. This causes the two clamping plates 4 to approach and contact the beef, but not clamp it tightly. The hydraulic rod 10 is driven to lower the horizontal plate 11, and the hydraulic rod 212 is activated to drive the push plate 13 to push the beef towards the blade. The surface of the beef contacts the rotating rod 3 and the rotating rod 5. The rotating rod 5 assists in pushing the beef to the cutting table 17. The electric push rod drives the corresponding blade to descend and cut the intermittently pushed beef. Through the setting of the rotating rod 3, the rotating rod 5, and the clamping plate 4, the pushing process is smooth and stable, and the beef is always centered. This reduces the occurrence of surface tearing when the surface of fresh beef is pushed due to its stickiness. At the same time, the centered pushing reduces the occurrence of uneven cutting due to large sliding amplitude when the beef is cut. After analyzing and processing the data, the controller 16 sends instructions to the electric push rod 19 or the electric push rod 21 to determine whether to slice or cut into chunks according to the quality of the beef, thereby achieving the effect of grading and cutting.
