Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food packaging, in particular to a transfer device suitable for toast bread. Background Art
[0002] In the production and packaging process of toast bread, pillow-shaped toast bread is cut into pieces by a cutting mechanism, and the cut toast bread is then transferred to the next packaging station. The cutting mechanism is generally arranged at the front end of a conveying channel, and the cut toast bread is conveyed from the rear end along the conveying channel to a packaging device. The one-in-one-out transfer method of the conveying channel is inefficient and will increase the floor space of the entire production and packaging line. In addition, the cut toast bread is easily disordered during transfer, which affects subsequent packaging. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a transfer device suitable for toast bread, so as to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.
[0004] The technical solutions adopted to solve the above technical problems are:
[0005] The utility model provides a transfer device suitable for toast bread, comprising: a transfer channel and a transfer mechanism; at least two of the transfer mechanisms are arranged at intervals along the transfer channel, the transfer mechanism comprises a material blocking component and a material grabbing component, the material blocking component comprises a material blocking plate arranged on the transfer channel and a material blocking driving structure transmission-connected to the material blocking plate, the material grabbing component comprises a grabbing structure and a material grabbing driving structure transmission-connected to the grabbing structure.
[0006] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the cut toast bread is transported along the transfer channel, and when the toast bread is transported to the first transfer mechanism, the first material blocking driving structure drives the material blocking plate to move to the position of intercepting the toast bread. At this time, the first material grabbing driving structure drives the grabbing structure to grab the intercepted toast bread, take it out from the transfer channel, and transfer it to the next process. When the first grabbing structure grabs the toast bread for transfer, the first material blocking plate is reset, and the next cut toast bread continues to be transported forward to the second transfer mechanism, and the second transfer mechanism takes the toast bread out of the transfer channel and transfers it to the next process. This is repeated to realize the transfer of the cut toast bread. When the material blocking plate intercepts the toast bread, other toast bread can also continue to be transported along the transfer channel, thereby realizing continuous transportation of the toast bread by the transfer channel, and does not affect the grabbing and transferring action of the grabbing structure, thereby realizing continuous grabbing and transferring of the grabbing structure, realizing a one-in-multiple-out transfer effect, and improving the transfer efficiency of the toast bread. At this time, at least two packaging stations can be set to realize large-scale packaging.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the material blocking driving structure drives the material blocking plate to move up and down above the transfer channel.
[0008] The material blocking driving structure in the present scheme is used to drive the material blocking plate to rise and fall to intercept the toast bread. When the toast bread on the transfer channel needs to be intercepted, the material blocking plate descends to block the front side of the toast bread. At this time, the transfer channel can continue to move forward to drive other toast bread to be transported forward. When the toast bread needs to pass the transfer mechanism and be transported to the next transfer mechanism, the material blocking plate rises. The material blocking plate adopts an up and down moving interception method, which can also have a neat effect on the toast bread blocks. The cut toast bread extends along the lateral direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transfer channel and is placed on the transfer channel. The material blocking plate can tidy the toast bread blocks in the conveying direction.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the grabbing structure is arranged on the upstream side of the material baffle plate, and the grabbing drive structure includes a transverse driving group that drives the grabbing structure to reciprocate along a transverse direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transfer channel, and a lifting driving group that drives the grabbing structure to move up and down.
[0010] In this solution, the lateral drive group drives the grasping structure to move back and forth in the lateral direction, so that the grasping structure can transfer the toast bread to the packaging station beside the transfer channel, and the lifting drive group drives the grasping structure to rise and fall, so that the grasping structure can move downward to the position of grabbing the toast bread.
[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the gripping structure includes two clamping plates arranged opposite to each other at an interval along the lateral movement direction, and a clamping driving part driving the two clamping plates to move closer to and away from each other.
[0012] In this solution, the clamping drive unit drives the two clamping plates to move closer to and away from each other in the lateral direction to achieve clamping and loosening of the toast bread, and the two clamping plates can keep the toast bread neat in the lateral direction.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the grabbing structure includes a top plate extending along the lateral movement direction, and two clamping plates are respectively vertically arranged on the lower sides of both ends of the top plate.
[0014] In this solution, when grabbing the toast bread, the top plate presses the toast bread downward to achieve the neatness of the toast bread in the upper and lower directions.
[0015] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the transverse driving group includes a transverse seat and a transverse driving part transmission-connected to the transverse seat, the lifting driving group is installed on the transverse seat, and the lifting driving group is transmission-connected to the top of the top plate.
[0016] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, guiding members are provided on both sides of the transfer channel, and the distance between the two guiding members is adjustable.
[0017] When the toast bread is conveyed on the transfer channel, the two ends of the toast bread are limited by the two guiding members, preventing the bread pieces at both ends of the toast bread from falling outwards. Moreover, the distance between the two guiding members is adjustable to accommodate toast bread of different lengths.
[0018] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, at least two side openings are provided on one of the guiding members. The side openings correspond to the transfer mechanisms one by one, and each side opening is provided with a side door and an opening and closing driving member for driving the side door to move along the transfer channel.
[0019] To further improve the transfer efficiency, side openings are provided on one of the guiding members. The number and position of the side openings correspond to those of the transfer mechanisms one by one. After the grasping structure grabs the toast bread, it can be directly transferred out through the side openings without having to be lifted upwards.
[0020] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the side openings are provided on the upstream side of the baffle plate.
[0021] The baffle plate intercepts the toast bread inside the side openings, and after the grasping structure grabs the toast bread, it can directly move sideways.
[0022] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, at least one material arranging mechanism is provided at the inlet end of the transfer channel. The material arranging mechanism includes a material arranging plate disposed above the transfer channel and a material arranging driving member for driving the material arranging plate to rotate.
[0023] In this solution, a material arranging mechanism is provided at the inlet end of the transfer channel to arrange the cut toast bread. Specifically, the material arranging driving member drives the material arranging plate to rotate above the transfer channel. When the material arrives, the material arranging plate rotates downwards to a position where it blocks the toast bread, achieving the alignment of the toast bread pieces. Then, the material arranging driving member drives the material arranging plate to return to its original position, and the toast bread continues to be conveyed forward along the transfer channel. The rotation direction of the material arranging plate during its return is towards the conveying direction of the transfer channel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the following embodiments are made for the transfer device of the present utility model applicable to toast bread:
[0033] The transfer device of this embodiment includes a transfer channel 100 and a transfer mechanism 200.
[0034] Among them, the transfer channel 100 of this embodiment extends along the front-rear direction, and the conveying direction of the transfer channel 100 is also along the front-rear direction. In other embodiments, the transfer channel 100 can extend along the left-right direction, or the front-rear direction with a downward or upward inclination. This embodiment will be described by taking the transfer channel 100 conveying along the front-rear direction as an example.
[0035] The transfer channel 100 of this embodiment adopts a conveyor belt structure. The transfer channel 100 includes a conveyor belt extending along the front-rear direction and a transfer driving structure for driving the conveyor belt to move. The transfer driving structure adopts a pulley driving or a sprocket driving method.
[0036] In other embodiments, the transfer channel 100 may adopt a conveyor roller structure or the like. In this embodiment, a conveyor belt structure is adopted, mainly considering that there are many sizes of toast bread, and during transportation, some scraps can directly fall on the transfer channel 100 for unified recycling, and the supporting effect is better.
[0037] Guide members 110 are provided on both the left and right sides of the transfer channel 100. The guide members 110 extend in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, the guide members 110 adopt a railing structure. In other embodiments, the guide members 110 may adopt a slat structure.
[0038] In this embodiment, the guide members 110 on both the left and right sides are adjustably installed on the transfer channel 100 in the left-right direction. A plurality of fixing frames are provided on the platform frame at the top of the transfer channel 100. The fixing frames are connected with adjusting rods extending left and right. The inner ends of the adjusting rods are connected to the guide members 110. The adjusting rods are slidably installed on the fixing frames left and right, and the position of the guide members 110 in the left-right direction can be adjusted by moving the adjusting rods.
[0039] Furthermore, the interval between the two guide members 110 in the left-right direction can be adjusted. The cut toast bread is placed on the transfer channel 100 and extends in the left-right direction for forward transportation. In this way, when the toast bread is transported on the transfer channel 100, the two guide members 110 limit the two ends of the toast bread to prevent the bread pieces at the two ends of the toast bread from falling outwards, and the interval between the two guide members 110 is adjustable to meet toast bread of different lengths.
[0040] Further, in this embodiment, a material arranging mechanism 300 is provided at the inlet end of the transfer channel 100. The material arranging mechanism 300 includes a material arranging plate 310 provided above the transfer channel 100 and a material arranging driving member 320 for driving the material arranging plate 310 to rotate. In this embodiment, the material arranging plate 310 extends left and right above the transfer channel 100, and the material arranging driving member 320 drives the material arranging plate 310 to flip around an axis extending left and right.
[0041] The material arranging driving member 320 adopts a rotary cylinder. In other embodiments, the material arranging driving member 320 may adopt a rotary motor or the like.
[0042] In this embodiment, a material arranging mechanism 300 is provided at the inlet end of the transfer channel 100 to arrange the cut toast bread. Specifically, the material arranging driving member 320 drives the material arranging plate 310 to rotate above the transfer channel 100. When the material comes in, the material arranging plate 310 rotates downwards to a position blocking the toast bread to make the toast bread pieces neat, and then the material arranging driving member 320 drives the material arranging plate 310 to return to its original position. The toast bread continues to be transported forward along the transfer channel 100, and the rotation direction of the material arranging plate 310 when it returns to its original position is towards the transportation direction of the transfer channel 100.
[0043] In this embodiment, two material sorting mechanisms 300 are provided, and the two material sorting mechanisms 300 can also stop the toast bread to control the amount of toast bread conveyed forward in the transfer channel 100.
[0044] The number of the transfer mechanisms 200 is at least two, and at least two transfer mechanisms 200 are arranged at intervals along the transfer channel 100 . In this embodiment, two transfer mechanisms 200 are arranged.
[0045] The transfer mechanism 200 of this embodiment includes a material blocking assembly 210 and a material grabbing assembly 220 .
[0046] The material blocking component 210 is used to intercept the toast bread on the transfer channel 100. The material blocking component 210 includes a material blocking plate 211 and a material blocking driving structure 212. The material blocking driving structure 212 is connected to the material blocking plate 211 in a transmission manner. The material blocking driving structure 212 drives the material blocking plate 211 to extend into and out of the transfer channel 100, and the toast bread on the transfer channel 100 is intercepted by the material blocking plate 211. When the material blocking plate 211 intercepts the toast bread, other toast bread continues to be transported forward along the transfer channel 100.
[0047] The grabbing assembly 220 is used to take out the toast bread intercepted in the transfer channel 100. Specifically: the grabbing assembly 220 of this embodiment includes a grabbing structure 221 and a grabbing drive structure 222. The grabbing structure 221 is used to grab and release the toast bread, and the grabbing drive structure 222 is connected to the grabbing structure 221 in transmission. The grabbing drive structure 222 drives the grabbing structure 221 to take out the toast bread from the transfer channel 100 and transfer it to the next packaging station.
[0048] The cut toast bread is conveyed along the transfer channel 100 and sorted by the sorting mechanism 300. When the toast bread is conveyed to the first transfer mechanism 200, the first baffle driving structure 212 drives the baffle 211 to move to the position where the toast bread is intercepted. At this time, the first grasping driving structure 222 drives the grasping structure 221 to grasp the intercepted toast bread and take it out from the transfer channel 100, and then transfer it to the next process. When the first grasping structure 221 grasps and transfers the toast bread, the first baffle 211 resets, and the next cut toast bread continues to be conveyed forward to the second transfer mechanism 200. The second transfer mechanism 200 takes the toast bread out from the transfer channel 100 and transfers it to the next process. This is repeated to realize the transfer of the cut toast bread. When the baffle 211 intercepts the toast bread, other toast bread can still be continuously conveyed along the transfer channel 100, realizing the continuous conveyance of the transfer channel 100 for the toast bread, and not affecting the grasping and transfer action of the grasping structure 221, and also realizing the continuous grasping and transfer of the grasping structure 221, achieving the transfer effect of one input and multiple outputs, improving the transfer efficiency of the toast bread. At this time, at least two packaging stations can be set up to achieve large-scale packaging.
[0049] Further, the baffle driving structure 212 of this embodiment drives the baffle 211 to move in the up and down direction above the transfer channel 100.
[0050] The baffle driving structure 212 of this embodiment is used to drive the baffle 211 to lift and lower to intercept the toast bread. When it is necessary to intercept the toast bread on the transfer channel 100, the baffle 211 moves downward, and the baffle 211 blocks the front side of the toast bread. At this time, the transfer channel 100 can still continue to drive other toast bread forward. When it is necessary for the toast bread to cross this transfer mechanism 200 and be conveyed to the next transfer mechanism 200, the baffle 211 moves upward. The baffle 211 adopts the interception method of moving up and down, and can also have a neat effect on the toast bread blocks. The cut toast bread is placed on the transfer channel 100 along the transverse movement direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transfer channel 100, and the baffle 211 can make the toast bread blocks neat in the conveying direction.
[0051] The baffle driving structure 212 can adopt linear driving structures such as cylinders and electric poles.
[0052] The grasping driving structure 222 of this embodiment includes a transverse movement driving group 2221 and a lifting driving group 2222. The transverse movement driving group 2221 is used to drive the grasping structure 221 to reciprocate in the left and right direction, while the lifting driving group 2222 drives the grasping structure 221 to reciprocate in the up and down direction. The grasping structure 221 of this embodiment is arranged on the upstream side of the baffle 211.
[0053] In this embodiment, the lateral driving group 2221 drives the grasping structure 221 to move back and forth in the lateral direction, so that the grasping structure 221 transfers the toast bread to the packaging station beside the transfer channel 100, and the lifting driving group 2222 drives the grasping structure 221 to move up and down, so that the grasping structure 221 moves downward to the position of grasping the toast bread.
[0054] The gripping structure 221 of this embodiment includes two clamping plates 2211 and a clamping drive unit 2212. The two clamping plates 2211 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The clamping drive unit 2212 drives the two clamping plates 2211 to move closer to and away from each other in the left-right direction. In this embodiment, the clamping drive unit 2212 drives the two clamping plates 2211 to move closer to and away from each other in the transverse direction to achieve clamping and loosening of the toast bread, and the two clamping plates 2211 keep the toast bread neat in the transverse direction.
[0055] In addition, the grabbing structure 221 also includes a top plate 2213, which is horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, and two clamping plates 2211 are vertically arranged on the lower sides of the left and right ends of the top plate 2213. When grabbing the toast bread, the toast bread is pressed down by the top plate 2213 to achieve the neatness of the toast bread in the upper and lower directions.
[0056] The clamping driving part 2212 of this embodiment includes two clamping cylinders, which respectively drive the two clamping plates 2211 to move. The two clamping cylinders are installed on the upper side of the top plate 2213.
[0057] The transverse driving group 2221 includes a transverse seat 2223 and a transverse driving part that is transmission-connected to the transverse seat 2223. The transverse driving part of this embodiment adopts a transmission belt structure, while in other embodiments, a screw transmission structure or a linear driving structure such as an electric pole may be adopted.
[0058] The lifting drive group 2222 is installed on the transverse displacement seat 2223. The lifting drive group 2222 of this embodiment adopts a cylinder, and in other embodiments, a linear driving structure such as an electric pole can be adopted.
[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one of the guide members 110 is provided with a plurality of side openings, the number and position of the side openings correspond to the transfer mechanism 200 one by one, and the side opening is provided with a side door and an opening and closing driving member that drives the side door to move in the front-back direction, and the opening and closing driving member adopts a cylinder, and after the grabbing structure 221 grabs the toast bread, the opening and closing driving member drives the side door to open the side opening, and the grabbing structure 221 can move directly out of the side opening without lifting up. When the toast bread is not grabbed, the opening and closing driving member drives the side door to close the side opening, and the side door guides the toast bread at this time.
[0060] The above has specifically described the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
