Referring to fig. 1-3, in this embodiment, the driving structure 2 includes two gear motors 201, each of the two gear motors 201 is provided with a driving arm 202, front ends of the two driving arms 202 are respectively hinged with a cutter holder 203, two ends of the blade 101 are mounted on the two cutter holders 203, the cutter holder 203 is centered at a hinging point, the front end is a bayonet part for mounting the blade 101, the blade 101 is mounted on the cutter holder 203 through the bayonet part, the rear end is an extension handle 2031, a spring fixing rod 2032 is arranged on the extension handle 2031, the spring fixing rod 2032 is inserted on the driving arm 202, the upper half section is positioned above the driving arm 202, the spring fixing rod 2032 is used for mounting an in-place sensing device 4, the in-place sensing device 4 includes a spring 401 and a proximity switch 402, the upper half ball 403 and a washer 404 are sleeved on the upper half section of the spring fixing rod 2032, the spherical surface of the half 403 contacts with the upper surface of the driving arm 202, the spring fixing rod 2032 is sleeved on the upper half ball 403 and the half ball 403 is positioned between the half ball 403 and the washer 404 and the half washer 404, and the half ball 403 are mounted on the top of the spring fixing rod 2032; the outer circumference of the gasket 404 is provided with an outer ear 4041, and the proximity switch 402 is mounted on the outer ear 4041; during operation, the gear motor 201 drives the driving arm 202 to rotate downwards, so as to drive the blade 101 to rotate downwards, the blade 101 approaches the fat layer 301 and gradually presses the fat layer 301 to approach the muscle layer 302 in the process of rotating downwards, the extension handle 2031 at the rear end of the tool apron 203 is tilted relative to the driving arm 202 and compressed relative to the driving arm 202 after reaching the muscle layer 302, the extension handle 2031 gradually approaches the driving arm 202, and the driving arm 202 stops after the proximity switch 402 is triggered.

In one embodiment, the invention is provided with a conveying device which is arranged below the separating tool 1 and is used for bearing meat products and driving the meat products to move towards the separating tool 1 so as to complete separation.

As other embodiments, the present invention may employ a linear sliding table or the like to provide a linear driving device 5 to drive the separating tool 1 to move toward the meat product to separate the fat layer 301; however, the conveying device is not only capable of moving meat products to the separating tool 1 to realize separation, but also capable of being linked with the separating tool 1 to complete an automatic production flow, so that the conveying device is preferably adopted.

Specifically, the conveying device can adopt a roller conveyor 6 or a belt conveyor for conveying, the conveying device is connected with an in-place sensor, and when the conveying device works, the in-place sensor senses that meat products reach the lower part of the separating tool 1, so that a feedback signal is fed back to the conveying device to pause the conveying device, and after the blades 101 of the separating tool 1 are pressed down, the meat products are continuously driven to advance.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in the most preferred embodiment, the degreasing device of the present invention may be provided with a conveying device and a linear driving device 5 to drive the separating tool 1, and both are connected with an in-place sensor, and when the separating tool 1 arrives below the meat product, the in-place sensor senses that the conveying device stops, and after the blade 101 of the separating tool 1 is pressed down, the linear driving device 5 drives the separating tool 1 to move toward the meat product, and the conveying device also simultaneously drives the meat product to move toward the separating tool 1, so that the speed of the blade 101 is faster, the separating effect is better, and the efficiency is also improved.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the conveying device preferably adopts a roller conveyor 6, which has a conveying surface formed by a plurality of rollers, a pressure type in-place sensor 7 is arranged in a gap between the rollers, the pressure type in-place sensor 7 is provided with a contact part 701 protruding from the conveying surface of the roller conveyor 6, the contact part 701 is provided with a stop inclined surface, and in operation, meat quality advances along with the conveying device, and after striking the stop inclined surface, the contact part 701 is pressed down so as to trigger the pressure type in-place sensor 7; the embodiment has the advantages that the meat quality is blocked to a certain extent, the inertia of the meat quality can be eliminated, and the problem that the meat quality is stopped in place and the subsequent separation effect is influenced is avoided.

In one embodiment, the blade 101 is stopped at a first depth 3a near the front edge of the meat and slightly below the interface between the fat layer 301 and the muscle layer 302, where stopping at the front edge allows for a more thorough separation of the fat layer 301 at the lateral level, and stopping at the first depth 3a allows for a more thorough separation of the fat layer 301 at the vertical level, simply, if the front edge is not reached, some fat will remain in the meat near the front edge (as shown in fig. 5), and if the first depth 3a is not reached, a thinner layer of fat will remain on the meat across the whole or part of the surface. It should be noted that, in the present invention, the blade 101 is pressed down by rotation and fed back by the in-place sensing device 4, so that the blade 101 can be stopped at the first depth 3a more accurately, because the boundary between the fat layer 301 and the muscle layer 302 is not a horizontal plane, the blade 101 will not be immediately subjected to resistance after the blade 101 is pressed down by rotation to approach the muscle layer 302, because the muscle is soft, and the blade 101 will be pressed down against the muscle layer 302 until a certain resistance is fed back to the in-place sensing device 4, such as the later separation process can be finished.

It should be noted that, the blade 101 may stay at the front edge position only in a preferable state, because the fat layer 301 is slippery, so that the fat layer 301 may slide away when the blade 101 reaches the front edge position, which may cause the blade 101 to become transverse to the meat quality, and the blade 101 may not slit any more, so that the meat quality is only immobilized in place if the subsequent action is forced. Thus, in another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the blade 101 is in a second position 3b where the meat product is positioned near the front edge; in the case that the blade 101 stays at the second position 3b, in order to ensure that the separation is thorough on the transverse layer, the edge of the meat product can not remain fat, a second separating tool can be arranged behind the separating tool 1, and a turning device is arranged on the roller conveyor 6 to turn the meat product, so that the separation can be performed once, and the separation of the remaining fat is also performed more cleanly on the vertical layer. In addition to this embodiment, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, a curved edge may be provided on the back surface of the blade body, the curved edge having a curved edge body and a second edge 101b, the second edge 101b being oriented opposite to the first edge 101a, i.e., the second edge 101b being oriented upward; the second cutting edge 101b is directed towards the front edge of the meat after the blade 101 is rotated down in place, and the separating tool 1 is integrally mounted on a device providing linear motion to drive the blade 101 to move in the direction of the front edge to separate fat at the front edge when reaching the first depth 3a and the second edge position, and then the blade 101 is moved back to separate the rest large piece of fat by the single-sided edge.

In one embodiment, the invention is provided with a visual imaging system which can be matched with the separating tool 1 to trim the fascia on the surface of the meat quality, and the specific process is similar to separating fat, and the meat quality with fascia, such as Niu Lin meat; when the fascia on the surface of Niu Lin meat is separated, the in-place sensing device 4 of the separating tool 1 needs to adjust a set value of pressure feedback, so that the blade 101 is slightly blocked after being pressed down, the linear driving device 5 drives the separating tool 1 to separate, and the driving structure 102 continuously adjusts according to the pressure feedback in the separation process, so that the blade 101 is always pressed on the surface of the meat product, thereby being suitable for some uneven surfaces and trimming the fascia.

It is noted that relational terms such as first and second, and the like are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
