Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pastry processing technology, and in particular to an automated cutting device for long rice cakes. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cake, a traditional Chinese rice-based pastry with a long history, is made primarily from glutinous rice or regular rice. It undergoes multiple processes including soaking, grinding, fermentation, and steaming. The finished product is often white and smooth, with a soft and glutinous texture, a sweet rice aroma, and a combination of softness and chewiness, making it popular among people of all ages. During the processing of rice cake, automated cutting devices are often used to cut long strips of rice cake into smaller pieces.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: some existing automatic rice cake cutting devices use multiple sets of blades, which can cut rice cakes into multiple segments at one time, thus improving work efficiency. However, in actual cutting work, workers sometimes need to change the length of the cut rice cakes. However, the multiple sets of blades in existing cutting devices are usually fixed on the device, and their spacing is difficult to adjust, so they cannot meet the different cutting size requirements and have low applicability. Therefore, we propose an automatic cutting device for long rice cakes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automated cutting device for long rice cakes. Through a round rod, a slider, and a drive assembly, the spacing between adjacent blades can be easily adjusted to meet different cutting size requirements.

[0020] 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.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, an automated long rice cake cutting device provided by this utility model includes a base 1, a frame 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a mounting frame 3 between the base 1 and the frame 2, a horizontal plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 3, a round rod 5 fixedly installed on the horizontal plate 4, a slider 6 movably sleeved on the outer surface of the round rod 5, a knife 7 located at the bottom of the horizontal plate 4 fixedly connected to the slider 6, the slider 6 and the mounting frame 3 are also connected by a drive component, the slider 6 can adjust the position of the knife 7 by the drive component, the mounting frame 3 and the frame 2 are connected by a lifting component, which is used to make the knife 7 cut the rice cake downwards.

[0022] When in use, if the operator needs to adjust the spacing between adjacent blades 7 to meet different cutting requirements, the slider 6 can be made to slide along the outer surface of the round rod 5 through the drive component, thereby driving the blades 7 to move and adjusting the spacing between adjacent blades 7. After adjustment, the mounting frame 3 is used to drive the horizontal plate 4 and the blades 7 to move downward through the lifting component to cut the rice cake. This allows the rice cake to be cut according to the cutting size requirements, improving its applicability.

[0023] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a first electric actuator 8, which is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 3. The telescopic end of the first electric actuator 8 passes through the mounting frame 3 and is fixedly connected to a push-pull block 9. A square plate 10 is fixedly connected to the push-pull block 9. A through hole 11 is provided on the square plate 10. A round block 12 located inside the through hole 11 is fixedly connected to the slider 6.

[0024] By activating the first electric push rod 8, the push-pull block 9 can move the square plate 10, which in turn causes the inner wall of the through hole 11 to press against the surface of the round block 12. This, in turn, causes the round block 12 to move the slider 6 and the cutter 7, thereby adjusting the position of the cutter 7 and changing the spacing between adjacent cutters 7 to meet different cutting size requirements.

[0025] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a second electric actuator 13, which is fixedly mounted on the frame 2. The telescopic end of the second electric actuator 13 passes through the frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 3. Guide rods 14 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the top of the mounting bracket 3, and the top of the guide rods 14 passes through the frame 2.

[0026] By activating the second electric actuator 13, the staff can cause the mounting bracket 3 to move the horizontal plate 4 downward, thereby enabling the cutter 7 to move downward to cut the rice cake.

[0027] Furthermore, there are two guide rods 14, which are arranged symmetrically.

[0028] The guide rod 14 provides good guidance for the mounting bracket 3, making the mounting bracket 3 more stable when moving up and down.

[0029] Furthermore, the circular block 12 is slidably connected inside the through hole 11, and the inner wall of the through hole 11 is coated with a lubricating layer.

[0030] By coating the inner wall of the through hole 11 with a lubricating layer, the circular block 12 can slide more smoothly inside the through hole 11.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the cutting tool 7 is provided with at least three strip holes 15, which are arranged vertically and parallel on the surface of the cutting tool 7.

[0032] With the setting of the strip hole 15, when the cutter 7 exits from the rice cake, external air can quickly enter the contact interface between the cutter 7 and the rice cake through the strip hole 15, breaking the local vacuum, thereby effectively eliminating the vacuum adsorption force, so that the rice cake can automatically separate from the cutter 7 and achieve the anti-stick effect.

[0033] Furthermore, a pad 16 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the pad 16 is square in shape.

[0034] The pad 16 can be made of food-grade plastic to prevent sharp knives 7 from directly cutting the metal surface of the base 1, protecting the blade and extending the service life of the knives 7.

[0035] Working principle and usage process of this utility model: First, the worker places the rice cake in the middle of the pad 16. Then, if the worker needs to adjust the spacing between adjacent blades 7 to meet different cutting requirements, the worker can activate the first electric push rod 8, which causes the push-pull block 9 to move the square plate 10. This causes the inner wall of the through hole 11 to press against the surface of the round block 12, which in turn causes the round block 12 to move the slider 6 and the blade 7. The slider 6 slides along the outer surface of the round rod 5, thereby adjusting the position of the blade 7 and changing the spacing between adjacent blades 7 to meet different cutting size requirements. After adjustment, the worker activates the second electric push rod 13, which causes the mounting frame 3 to move the horizontal plate 4 downward, allowing the blade 7 to move downward to cut the rice cake. This allows the rice cake to be cut according to the cutting size requirements, improving its applicability.

[0036] The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
