Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food cutting equipment, specifically, it relates to a food cutting device for food production. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing, slicing and cutting are common fine processing steps, especially in meat, fruit and vegetable, and frozen food production lines, where automated cutting equipment is often needed for continuous and efficient processing. However, in existing food cutting equipment, due to the softness or slippery nature of many food materials, displacement or lifting can easily occur during conveying and cutting, making the blade cutting path unstable and resulting in quality problems such as inconsistent cutting thickness and uneven cross-sections. To solve the problem of food displacement, some equipment is equipped with support components or clamping structures, but the food may still loosen locally at the moment of cutting, affecting positioning accuracy.

[0003] Furthermore, food cutting processes often leave residues such as food debris, grease, or juices on the blade surface. If these residues are not cleaned promptly, they can increase frictional resistance, affecting continuous processing performance, and may also lead to bacterial growth or cross-contamination, making it difficult to meet food hygiene and safety requirements. Current technologies typically rely on manual wiping during machine downtime or the installation of additional cleaning mechanisms to remove these residues. This not only increases equipment complexity and downtime but also results in low cleaning efficiency in continuous production environments.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a food cutting device for food production, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A food cutting device for food production includes: a conveying mechanism for continuously conveying food, wherein both sides of the conveying mechanism are fixedly connected to supporting plates, and an mounting plate is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates;

[0008] A linear drive mechanism is provided above the mounting plate. The output end of the linear drive mechanism passes through the mounting plate and extends downward to the space between the two connecting plates. The lower end of the output end is fixedly connected to a cutting mechanism that can reciprocate along the vertical direction between the two connecting plates.

[0009] The cutting mechanism includes a plate body that is slidably disposed inside the connecting plate, a cutting blade that is fixedly connected to the lower part of the plate body, and guide structures that constrain the movement direction of the plate body and improve the cutting stability on both sides of the plate body.

[0010] A fixing mechanism for attaching and positioning food is provided between the two connecting plates, and a cutting gap is reserved at the fixing mechanism for the cutting blade to pass through and move, so as to realize the food slicing or cutting.

[0011] Optionally, the guide structure includes at least one slide rod, and a through hole is provided on the plate along the thickness direction of the plate to slide with the slide rod. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide rod, and a baffle that fits against the upper side of the plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide rod through the through hole, thereby realizing the clamping and guiding of the plate.

[0012] Optionally, a first spring is provided between the upper part of the pressure plate and the lower part of the plate body. The first spring is sleeved around the slide rod to provide an upward rebound force, so that the cutting mechanism automatically rises and remains tightly fitted after cutting.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing mechanism includes two symmetrically sliding slides disposed between two connecting plates. A pressure roller for conforming to and squeezing the outer surface of the food is elastically connected between the two slides. An inclined plate is fixedly connected between the two pressure rollers. When the cutting blade moves downward, the inclined plate contacts the cutting blade and scrapes off the residue on the blade surface. At the same time, it pushes the pressure rollers to move towards each other and clamp the food, thereby improving the stability of the food and the cutting cleanliness.

[0014] Optionally, a slider is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate, and a guide groove for the slider to slide is provided along the length of the connecting plate. A second spring is fixedly connected between the slider and the inner wall of the guide groove to provide return and clamping preload to the slide plate.

[0015] Optionally, the slide plate has grooves on both sides, and the pressure roller has connecting blocks fixedly connected to both sides and slidably disposed in the grooves. A third spring is provided between the connecting blocks and the inner wall of the groove. When the cutting blade rises and resets, the third spring applies a separation rebound force to the pressure roller to ensure that the pressure roller resets synchronously.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the following advantages at the same time:

[0017] This invention utilizes a fixing mechanism with a compression positioning function between two connecting plates to ensure that the food remains firmly attached to the surface of the fixing mechanism before and during cutting, forming a stable fit with the cutting gap. When the cutting blade completes its downward cutting action and rises, the food surface, under the compression of the fixing mechanism, forms a relative sliding fit against the side wall of the blade. This process effectively scrapes away debris or residue adhering to the side of the blade during cutting, thus automatically cleaning the blade.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a food cutting device for food production, including a conveying mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 1 is used to continuously transport food. Connecting plates 2 for support are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveying mechanism 1, and a mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 2. The conveying mechanism 1 is a conveyor belt as used in the prior art.

[0032] A linear drive mechanism 4 is disposed above the mounting plate 3. The output end of the linear drive mechanism 4 passes through the mounting plate 3 and extends downward to the space between the two connecting plates 2. The lower end of the output end is fixedly connected to a cutting mechanism capable of reciprocating along the vertical direction between the two connecting plates 2. The linear drive mechanism 4 is an electric push rod.

[0033] The cutting mechanism includes a plate 6 that is slidably disposed inside the connecting plate 2, a cutting blade 7 that is fixedly connected to the lower part of the plate 6, and guide structures that constrain the movement direction of the plate 6 and improve the cutting stability on both sides of the plate 6.

[0034] A fixing mechanism for attaching and positioning food is provided between the two connecting plates 2, and a cutting gap is reserved at the fixing mechanism for the cutting blade 7 to pass through and move, so as to realize the food slicing or cutting.

[0035] This invention features a fixing mechanism with a compression positioning function between two connecting plates 2, ensuring that the food remains tightly attached to the surface of the fixing mechanism before and during cutting, forming a stable fit with the cutting gap. When the cutting blade 7 completes its downward cutting action and rises, the food surface slides against the blade sidewall under the compression of the fixing mechanism. This process effectively scrapes away debris or residue adhering to the blade side during cutting, thus automatically cleaning the blade.

[0036] The guiding structure includes at least one slide rod 8. A through hole is provided on the plate 6 along the thickness direction of the plate 6 to slide with the slide rod 8. A pressure plate 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide rod 8, and a baffle 10 that fits against the upper side of the plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide rod 8 through the through hole, thereby achieving clamping and guiding of the plate 6. The slide rod 8, the through hole, and the baffle 10 together form a two-way clamping and guiding structure for the plate 6, which can effectively prevent the cutting blade 7 from swinging or deflecting during the pressing process, ensuring that the cutting path is vertical and accurate.

[0037] A first spring 11 is provided between the upper part of the pressure plate 9 and the lower part of the plate body 6. The first spring 11 is sleeved around the slide rod 8 and is used to provide an upward rebound force, so that the cutting mechanism automatically rises and maintains a tight fit after cutting. The first spring 11 sleeved around the slide rod 8 not only provides a reliable upward push return force for the cutting mechanism, so that the cutting blade 7 rises immediately after cutting, reducing the friction and residence time between the blade and the food, but also the spring force of the first spring 11 is designed to be greater than that of the second spring 17. This means that when the pressure plate 9 contacts the pressure roller 13, the force is preferentially transmitted to the slide plate 12, causing the slide plate 12 to move downward, realizing automatic pressing and fixing of the food, improving cutting stability and food positioning accuracy.

[0038] The fixing mechanism includes two symmetrically sliding slide plates 12 disposed between two connecting plates 2. A pressure roller 13, designed to conform to and compress the outer surface of the food, is elastically connected between the two slide plates 12. An inclined plate 14 is fixedly connected between the two pressure rollers 13. When the cutting blade 7 moves downward, the inclined plate 14 contacts the cutting blade 7 and scrapes away residue from its surface. Simultaneously, it pushes the pressure rollers 13 towards each other to clamp the food, improving food stability and cutting cleanliness. By using the inclined plate 14 between the pressure rollers 13, the cutting blade 7 scrapes against the surface of the inclined plate 14 during downward or upward movement, automatically cleaning residue from the blade surface and preventing food debris from adhering and affecting cutting quality, thus maintaining the blade's sharpness and cleanliness. At the same time, the elastic conforming of the pressure rollers 13 to the outer surface of the food achieves automatic clamping and positioning, ensuring the food remains stable during cutting and effectively preventing shaking or displacement.

[0039] A slider 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the slide plate 12. The connecting plate 2 has a guide groove 16 along its length for the slider 15 to slide. A second spring 17 is fixedly connected between the slider 15 and the inner wall of the guide groove 16 to provide return and clamping preload to the slide plate 12.

[0040] Both sides of the slide plate 12 are provided with grooves 18, and both sides of the pressure roller 13 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks that are slidably disposed in the grooves 18. A third spring 19 is provided between the connecting block and the inner wall of the groove 18. When the cutting blade 7 rises and resets, the third spring 19 applies a separation and rebound force to the pressure roller 13 to ensure that the pressure roller 13 resets synchronously. By providing a third spring 19 between the groove 18 and the connecting block, the pressure roller 13 can quickly separate and reset when releasing food, avoiding food jamming and improving the equipment's cycle cutting efficiency.

[0041] It should be noted that the elastic force of the first spring 11 is greater than that of the second spring 17, so that when the pressure plate 9 first contacts the pressure roller 13 during the downward movement of the cutting mechanism, the force transmitted by the pressure plate 9 can overcome the rebound force of the second spring 17, thereby driving the slide plate 12 to slide downward along the guide groove 16 to achieve the pressing and positioning of the food.

Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
