Abstract
The present application discloses a speed-adjustable automatic limiting sausage stuffer. The sausage stuffer includes a rack and photoelectric sensors. A first limiting sensing hole is disposed on the top end of the rack, a second limiting sensing hole is disposed on the middle of the rack, and a perpendicular distance between the first limiting sensing hole and the second limiting sensing hole is a height of a barrel. The photoelectric sensors are disposed symmetrically on two sides of the rack, and when the first limiting sensing hole or the second limiting sensing hole on the rack is located on a same plane as the photoelectric sensors, the symmetrically disposed photoelectric sensors and the first limiting sensing hole or the second limiting sensing hole lie on a single straight line.
Claims12
A speed-adjustable, automatic limiting sausage stuffer, comprising:
- a hollow housing, comprising:
- an outer wall;
- a first end;
- a second end;
- an inner space;
- at least one meat inlet;
- and at least one meat outlet;
- a drive mechanism, at least partially disposed within the housing;
- a driveshaft, engaged with the drive mechanism to be driven forward or backward along a longitudinal axis that extends between the first and second ends of the housing;
- a barrel, detachably attached to the housing and disposed inside the housing;
- a piston, sealably engaging an inner surface of the barrel and fixedly attached to one end of the driveshaft;
- at least one photoelectric sensing board, disposed within the housing;
- and
- a photoelectric control assembly, receiving an input from the photoelectric sensing board and sending a control output to the drive mechanism based on the input from the photoelectric sensing board,
- wherein the driveshaft further comprises:
- a first hole, passing through the driveshaft in a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second hole, passing through the driveshaft in a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the first and second holes on the driveshaft are arranged a predetermined longitudinal distance away from one another;
- and
- wherein when the driveshaft moves relative to the photoelectric sensing board such that the photoelectric sensing board senses one of the first and second holes, the photoelectric sensing board sends an input to the photoelectric control assembly, causing a control output to be sent to the drive mechanism.
