Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pasta processing auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a pasta plating device. Background Art

[0002] In the industrial production of pasta products such as baozi and steamed buns, proofing is typically performed after the forming process. To facilitate subsequent steaming or freezing, the formed buns are arranged in a regular matrix on trays. These trays are then layered onto racks and pushed into a fermentation room for proofing.

[0003] In current production methods, the arrangement of buns and steamed buns on trays is mostly done manually. Operators must pick up the buns one by one from the forming machine and place them in designated positions on the tray until the tray is full before moving on to the next tray.

[0004] Manually picking and placing one by one not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also makes it difficult to improve efficiency in mass production; there are also some robotic plate placing machines on the market, but this type of machine can only place one at a time, causing the robot to be very busy and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem in the existing technology that manual picking and placing one by one not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also is difficult to improve efficiency in mass production; there are also some robotic plating machines on the market, but such machines can only place one at a time, which makes the robot very busy and inefficient, and a pasta plating device is proposed.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A pasta plating device comprises a third conveyor for conveying pasta, a first conveyor for conveying a supporting plate, and a second conveyor for plating pasta. The second conveyor has the same conveying direction as the third conveyor, and the upstream of the second conveyor is connected to the downstream of the third conveyor. The second conveyor is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor, and the second conveyor is at least partially located directly above the first conveyor. A rotating mechanism is installed between the second conveyor and the ground, and the rotating mechanism can rotate the second conveyor around a first axis. The first axis is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor.

[0008] The second conveyor includes an upper conveyor belt and a lower conveyor belt, and the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the conveying part of the first conveyor.

[0009] The second conveyor includes an annular conveyor belt and rotating rollers connected to both ends of the conveyor belt. The upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt are at least parts of the conveyor belt. The rotating rollers at both ends are rotatably connected to a connecting frame. One end of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to a support frame. The support frame is fixedly connected to a supporting shaft whose axis coincides with the first axis. The supporting shaft is transmission-connected to a rotating power source, and the rotating rollers are transmission-connected to a rotating motor.

[0010] The rotating motor is a stepping motor or a servo motor.

[0011] The swing plate device includes a vibrator. When the upper conveyor belt is in a horizontal state, it is away from the vibration head of the vibrator. After the upper conveyor belt rotates a certain angle around the first axis, it can be in contact with the vibration head of the vibrator.

[0012] The present invention proposes a pasta plating device, which has the following beneficial effects: the device can obtain different intra-row spacing by simply adjusting the speed ratio of the second conveyor and the third conveyor, without the need for a complex spacing mechanism, and can quickly adapt to process requirements of different specifications and arrangement densities; it pours pasta onto the carrying plate in units of "rows", significantly reducing the beat loss of picking and placing one by one or stacking single pieces, and is suitable for matching the beat of continuous production lines in the front and rear sections.

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4A pasta plating device includes a third conveyor 7 for conveying pasta, a first conveyor 1 for conveying a carrying plate 2, and a second conveyor 3 for plating pasta. The second conveyor 3 has the same conveying direction as the third conveyor 7, and the upstream of the second conveyor 3 is connected to the downstream of the third conveyor 7. The second conveyor 3 is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 1, and the second conveyor 3 is at least partially located directly above the first conveyor 1. A rotating mechanism is installed between the second conveyor 3 and the ground, and the rotating mechanism can make the second conveyor 3 rotate around a first axis, and the first axis is arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 1.

[0020] The third conveyor 7 is used to transport the finished pasta individually to the second conveyor 3. The second conveyor 3 and the third conveyor 7 have the same conveying direction, and the upstream end of the second conveyor 3 directly connects to the downstream end of the third conveyor 7. By adjusting the conveying speeds of the third conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 3, the pasta can be arranged at different spacings on the second conveyor 3. When the operating speed of the third conveyor 7 is faster than that of the second conveyor 3, subsequent pasta enters the second conveyor 3 more quickly, reducing the spacing between adjacent pasta on the second conveyor 3 and making the arrangement more compact. When the operating speed of the third conveyor 7 is slower than that of the second conveyor 3, the pasta that enters first travels a longer distance on the second conveyor 3, increasing the spacing between adjacent pasta and making the arrangement more sparse. After the second conveyor 3 transports a full row of pasta, the rotation mechanism drives the second conveyor 3 to rotate about the first axis, causing the second conveyor 3 to tilt as a whole. The row of pasta on it slides down under the action of gravity and falls directly onto the supporting tray 2 below it. After one row of pasta is placed, the second conveyor 3 returns to a horizontal position under the action of the rotating mechanism and receives the pasta conveyed by the third conveyor 7 again. This cycle can realize the multi-row matrix placement on the carrier plate 2. The carrier plate 2 is continuously moved forward with the conveyance of the first conveyor 1. When it is full, it can be transported to the rack for the fermentation process.

[0021] The device achieves adjustable spacing of pasta during the conveying process by controlling the speed difference between the third conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 3, so that different densities can be arranged as needed; the second conveyor 3 is flipped around the first axis under the drive of the rotating mechanism, so that a row of pasta slides onto the supporting plate 2 as a whole, and the arrangement process is neat and consistent; the first conveyor 1 continuously transports the supporting plate 2 and cooperates with the arrangement action of the second conveyor 3, which can complete efficient matrix arrangement without relying on manual operation one by one, significantly reducing manual labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and helping to maintain the neatness and consistency of pasta arrangement.

[0022] The second conveyor 3 includes an upper conveyor belt 5 and a lower conveyor belt 6, which are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the conveying part of the first conveyor 1; the second conveyor 3 includes an annular conveyor belt and rotating rollers 11 connected to both ends of the conveyor belt, the upper conveyor belt 5 and the lower conveyor belt 6 are at least part of the conveyor belt, and the rotating rollers 11 at both ends are rotatably connected to the connecting frame 12, and one end of the connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to a support frame 10, and the support frame 10 is fixedly connected to a supporting shaft 9 whose axis coincides with the first axis, the supporting shaft 9 is transmission-connected to a rotating power source, and the rotating rollers 11 are transmission-connected to a rotating motor 8; the rotating motor 8 is a stepping motor or a servo motor.

[0023] The second conveyor 3 is composed of an annular conveyor belt, and both ends of the conveyor belt are mounted on rotating rollers 11. The rotating rollers 11 are driven to rotate by a rotating motor 8, thereby driving the conveyor belt to circulate. The upper part of the conveyor belt forms an upper conveyor belt 5, which is used to carry and transport pasta; the lower part of the conveyor belt forms a lower conveyor belt 6, which completes the return movement. Both ends of the rotating roller 11 are rotatably connected to the connecting frame 12. One end of the connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to a support frame 10. The support frame 10 is fixedly connected to a support shaft 9. The axis of the support shaft 9 coincides with the first axis. The support shaft 9 is connected to a rotary power source. Driven by the rotary power source, the support shaft 9 drives the support frame 10 and the connecting frame 12 to rotate as a whole around the first axis, so that the second conveyor 3 can switch between horizontal and inclined. When the second conveyor 3 is horizontal, the upper conveyor belt 5 receives the pasta and transports it under the drive of the rotary motor 8. After conveying to a row, the support shaft 9, driven by the rotary power source, drives the second conveyor 3 to rotate, causing the upper conveyor belt 5 to tilt. Under the action of gravity, the entire row of pasta slides off the upper conveyor belt 5, completing the transfer of the entire row. After the pasta is placed, the support shaft 9 drives the second conveyor 3 back to the horizontal position to continue receiving new pasta.

[0024] Rotating motor 8 drives roller 11, which drives the conveyor belt in a circular motion, ensuring stable delivery of pasta on upper conveyor belt 5. The coordination of support shaft 9 and the rotary power source enables precise rotation of second conveyor 3, thereby dumping a row of pasta. Rotating motor 8, which utilizes a stepper motor or servo motor, allows for controllable speed and delivery rhythm of upper conveyor belt 5, allowing for flexible adjustment based on actual process requirements. Within the overall structure, connecting frame 12 and support frame 10 ensure secure installation and reliable rotation of second conveyor 3, ensuring operational stability while automating the entire row placement process, improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention.

[0025] The swing plate device includes a vibrator 4. When the upper conveyor belt 5 is in a horizontal state, it is away from the vibration head of the vibrator 4. After the upper conveyor belt 5 rotates a certain angle around the first axis, it can be close to the vibration head of the vibrator 4.

[0026] When the upper conveyor belt 5 is in a horizontal state, its surface is away from the vibrator head of the vibrator 4 and no contact occurs. When the upper conveyor belt 5 rotates a certain angle around the first axis driven by the support shaft 9 and the rotary power source, the vibrator head of the vibrator 4 located below comes into contact with the outer surface of the upper conveyor belt 5. At this time, the vibrator 4 vibrates when powered on, and the vibration force is transmitted to the upper conveyor belt 5 through the vibrator head of the vibrator 4, causing the surface of the upper conveyor belt 5, which is already in an inclined state, to vibrate slightly. Under the combined action of this vibration and gravity, the pasta on the upper conveyor belt 5 can quickly break away from the conveyor belt surface and slide smoothly to the load-bearing area below, thereby ensuring the rapid and complete release of a row of pasta.

[0027] Finished pasta (such as steamed buns) is transported individually and rhythmically via the third conveyor 7 to the upper conveyor belt 5 of the second conveyor 3. The second conveyor 3 is arranged in the same direction as the third conveyor 7, with the upstream conveyor receiving incoming materials from the downstream conveyor 7. By adjusting the linear speeds of the third conveyor 7 and the second conveyor 3, a controllable arrival cycle and subsequent belt displacement are established: when the speed of the third conveyor 7 is faster than that of the second conveyor 3, subsequent pasta arrives faster, leaving a smaller gap on the second conveyor 3. When the speed of the third conveyor 7 is slower than that of the second conveyor 3, the second conveyor 3 "advances" the earlier-arriving pasta further, increasing the distance between adjacent pasta pieces.

[0028] When the accumulated arrangement along the conveying direction on the second conveyor 3 reaches a "row", the second conveyor 3 located above the first conveyor 1 is driven by the rotating mechanism between it and the ground, and rotates around the first axis perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor 1, so that the upper conveyor belt 5 is tilted; this tilt causes the entire row of pasta to slide laterally under the action of gravity, and the entire row is tilted to the supporting plate 2 located below it, completing a row of placement. The second conveyor 3 then resets to a horizontal position, continues to receive incoming materials from the third conveyor 7, and repeats the above-mentioned pitch formation-whole row dumping-reset cycle, thus realizing a multi-row matrixed plate. In order to ensure a clean and neat release of the entire row, it is optional to make the upper conveyor belt 5 and the vibrator head of the vibrator 4 briefly contact each other when the second conveyor 3 is tilted to a predetermined angle, and the superimposed micro-vibration causes the pasta to quickly detach from the conveyor belt surface. In the above structure, the second conveyor 3 can be driven by a stepper motor or a servo motor (rotating motor 8) to drive its rotating roller 11 to achieve precise and adjustable belt speed; the second conveyor 3 is arranged orthogonally to the first conveyor 1 in space, and the second conveyor 3 is at least partially located directly above the first conveyor 1, and the axis of the supporting shaft 9 coincides with the first axis, which facilitates reliable dumping and resetting.

[0029] This device can obtain different intra-row spacings simply by adjusting the speed ratio of the second conveyor 3 and the third conveyor 7. It does not require a complex spacing mechanism and can quickly adapt to process requirements of different specifications and arrangement densities. It dumps the items onto the carrier plate 2 in units of "rows", significantly reducing the beat loss of picking and placing one by one or stacking single items, and is suitable for matching the beat of continuous production lines in the front and rear sections.

[0030] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technical solution, conception, and design obtained by equivalent replacement or modification of the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
