Description

Meat cutting mechanism

The present invention relates to a meat processing related appliance, in particular to a meat cutting mechanism capable of cutting meat.

When cutting a large amount of meat, if it is manually cut into pieces or slices, the process is not only slow, but the size of the meat after cutting, such as thickness, etc., is not easy to accurately control within a certain error range, and it is more likely that the operator does not move. Accuracy, stupefaction, or deviation of force can cause injuries. Therefore, there are many meat cutting mechanisms that can cut meat on the market to replace manpower to overcome the above problems. However, this type of mechanism also has many shortcomings. For example, Many conventional meat cutting mechanisms have a gap between the knife and the cutting board, so they cannot effectively cut the meat tissues (especially the meat tendons), resulting in waste of meat and food materials, and if there are any parts that are not completely cut off. Part of the meat remains on the mechanism, which will affect the subsequent cutting operations, and will also produce additional cleaning procedures or even make it difficult to clean. Such a lack makes the efficiency and convenience of the meat cutting mechanism greatly reduced.

In view of this, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a meat cutting mechanism, which can reliably cut meat tissues such as tendons, avoiding the problem of meat loss and subsequent additional cleaning procedures or even difficult cleaning.

To achieve the above objective, the present invention discloses a meat cutting mechanism, which includes a platform, a cutting board, and a guillotine; the platform has a top surface and a side surface; the cutting board is arranged at the junction of the top surface and the side surface of the platform , The cutting board has a top edge, a side edge, and a corner at the junction of the top edge and the side edge; the guillotine can move to the cutting board along an infeed direction, and can move along an infeed direction The opposite retreat direction is away from the cutting board, the guillotine tool has a blade surface and a blade surface, the angle between the blade surface and the blade surface is 20° to 60°, and the cutting direction is parallel to the blade surface; wherein, the guillotine blade faces When the knife is moved in the feed direction, the knife face can be pressed against the corner of the cutting board, and when the guillotine moves in the knife retreat direction, the knife face can be separated from the cutting board.

When the guillotine moves in the knife feeding direction, the knife face can be pressed against the corner of the cutting board, so that the knife face and the corner are in a state of line contact, so that the guillotine can surely cut the meat Meat tissues such as tendons can avoid meat damage and subsequent additional cleaning procedures or even difficult cleaning problems, and the guillotine and the cutting board are more wear-resistant than the conventional structure.

In the following, the technical content and features of the present invention will be described in detail with a preferred embodiment with drawings. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, it is a meat cutting mechanism 10 provided by a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes There is a stand 20, a chopping board 30, and a guillotine 40.

The anvil 30 is detachably installed on the platform 20. More specifically, the anvil 30 is detachably installed at the boundary between the top surface 22 and the side surface 24 of the platform 20 by a plurality of bolts 31. The anvil The material of 30 is iron, iron-containing alloy or steel, but it is not limited to this. The anvil 30 has a top edge 32, a side edge 34, a corner 36 located at the junction of the top edge 32 and the side edge 34, and a reinforcing portion 38 is flat plate-shaped and located at the corner 36. The top edge 32 can be Together with the top surface 22 of the platform 20 for the meat product M to be placed, the top edge 32 is flush with the top surface 22, so that the meat product M can be placed firmly, and the reinforcing part 38 is made of high-speed steel , And connected to the corner 36 of the anvil 30 by means of vacuum heat treatment. In other possible embodiments, there may be a height difference between the top edge 32 and the top surface 22; the anvil 30 may be detachably installed on the bearing platform 20, or even fixed on the bearing Table 20; The anvil 30 is provided with the reinforcement 38 and is made of high-speed steel. The advantage is that it is wear-resistant, but in other possible embodiments, other wear-resistant materials can be used to make the reinforcement 38, or even The reinforcing part 38 may be omitted as appropriate.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the guillotine 40 can move toward the cutting board 30 along a cutting direction D1, and can move away from the cutting board 30 along a retreat direction D2 opposite to the cutting direction D1. The blade 40 has a blade surface 42, a blade surface 44, and a blade portion 46 in a flat plate shape and located at the junction of the blade surface 42 and the blade surface 44. The feed direction D1 of the guillotine 40 is parallel to the blade surface 42. Please refer to Figure 4, the angle α between the cutting direction D1 (which can also be regarded as the knife face 42 here) and the side edge 34 of the anvil 30 is 2°, and the cutting direction D1 (which can also be regarded as the knife The surface 42) and the top edge 32 of the anvil 30 are perpendicular to each other. In other words, in this case, the angle β between the top edge 32 of the anvil 30 and the side edge 34 is 88°. The angle γ between the blade surface 42 and the blade surface 44 is 30°. The blade portion 46 is made of high-speed steel and is connected to the junction of the blade surface 42 and the blade surface 44 by means of vacuum heat treatment. The guillotine 40 is provided with the blade 46 and is made of high-speed steel. The advantage is that it is wear-resistant. However, in other possible embodiments, the blade 46 can be made of other wear-resistant materials, and even the blade 46 is visible. The situation is omitted.

When the guillotine 40 moves along the cutting direction D1 toward the cutting board 30 to perform meat cutting operations, based on the angle α between the cutting direction D1 and the side edge 34 of the cutting board 30 being 2°, the guillotine 40 The blade surface 42 can be attached to the corner 36 of the anvil 30 in a line contact manner. More specifically, the blade portion 46 of the guillotine 40 is attached to the reinforcement portion 38 of the anvil board 30 in a line contact manner. After the meat is cut, the guillotine 40 moves in the retracting direction D2 to make the knife surface 42 separate from the cutting board 30. It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the guillotine 40 moves toward the cutting board 30, When it moves in the direction D1 and touches the cutting board 30, the continuous movement range of the guillotine 40 is limited to the range where only the blade 46 of the guillotine 40 abuts against the reinforcing portion 38 of the cutting board 30. The guillotine 40 Structures other than the blade portion 46 will not stick to the reinforcing portion 38.

The meat cutting mechanism 10 uses the blade portion 46 of the guillotine 40 to abut the reinforcing portion 38 of the chopping board 30 in a line contact manner to ensure that there is no gap between the guillotine 40 and the chopping board 30 when cutting meat. There are gaps, which can effectively cut the muscle tendons of the meat from other tissues, so as to avoid the meat loss caused by the continuous cutting of the muscle tendons, thereby reducing the incidence of food waste, and it is also not easy to have meat residues or jams. It is stacked on the mechanism to avoid additional cleaning procedures or even difficult cleaning problems after the meat cutting operation; in addition, the knife surface 42 and the corner 36 are more wear-resistant due to line contact, and the blade 46 and the The probability of mutual wear between the two reinforcing parts 38 can also be greatly reduced, and the anvil plate 30 is detachably installed on the bearing platform 20, and can be easily removed for maintenance or replacement even if it is worn in the future.

In fact, the angle γ between the blade surface 42 and the blade surface 44 is preferably 20° to 60°, and 30° is the best. However, in other possible embodiments, the angle γ may be 25° To 45°, or the included angle γ may be 28° to 35°. On the other hand, the angle α between the feed direction D1 of the guillotine 40 and the side edge 34 of the anvil 30 is greater than 0° and less than 45° Preferably, the included angle α is more than 0° and less than 5°. In addition, in other possible embodiments, the feed direction D1 of the guillotine 40 and the top edge 32 of the anvil plate 30 are not limited to be perpendicular. It should be noted that when the feed direction D1 and the top edge 32 When the edges 32 are not perpendicular to each other, the angle β between the top edge 32 and the side edge 34 and the angle α between the feed direction D1 and the side edge 34 can be adjusted accordingly, but the angle α should still be greater than 0°, the knife surface 42 can be attached to the corner 36 of the anvil board 30 in a line contact manner, which reduces the probability of mutual wear between the knife surface 42 and the anvil board 30.
