Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tray cleaning structure for an assembly line, belonging to the field of food processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Bread baking involves turning the moisture inside the dough into steam, causing the dough to expand. Placing the bread on a tray makes it easy to pick up, transport, and bake. Because mass production of bread is done entirely by machine with minimal human contact, conveyors are used for inter-process transfer.

[0003] After the bread is baked, bread crumbs are left behind when it is removed from the tray. These crumbs refer to the soft interior of the bread, which is different from the crust or outer layer. For example, they may contain coconut flakes, sesame seeds, or even white chocolate shavings. These crumbs need to be removed from the tray so that it can be reused.

[0004] During the baking process, grease will stick to the decorations and will not be easily blown away by the wind. It needs to be cleaned again with a brush. If the brush does not apply enough pressure, it needs to be cleaned manually, which is quite troublesome.

[0005] Therefore, for mass production of bread, this utility model provides a crumb cleaning device that uses high-pressure steam in a continuous production line to clean bread crumbs. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a crumb cleaning device that uses high-pressure steam in a continuous production line to clean bread crumbs.

[0007] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0008] A pallet cleaning structure for an assembly line includes a pallet for placing materials, a conveyor, and a conveyor belt mounted on the conveyor;

[0009] The first pipe and the second pipe are located directly above the tray. The first end of the second pipe is connected to the steam source through the first pipe, and the other end is sealed off.

[0010] The second pipe includes a main body and a steam outlet on the main body, the steam outlet facing the tray;

[0011] A material gate is located on the outer surface of the main body; the material gate is used to block the steam outlet to stop steam output, or the material gate is used to open the steam outlet to output steam.

[0012] As a further improvement, the material gate includes a smooth portion and a mesh portion, the smooth portion being disposed on both sides of the mesh portion, and the smooth portion and the mesh portion being welded together.

[0013] As a further improvement, the four corners of the material gate are slidably engaged with the outer surface of the main body via sliding components.

[0014] As a further improvement, the sliding assembly is fixed to the sliders at the four corners of the material gate, and a track corresponding to the shape of the slider is provided on the outer surface of the main body, and the slider slides in cooperation with the track.

[0015] As a further improvement, the arc length of the mesh portion is greater than the arc length of the steam outlet.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation of a pallet cleaning structure for an assembly line, including a pallet 20 for placing materials, a conveyor 10, and a conveyor belt 201 installed on the conveyor 10;

[0032] First pipe 501 and second pipe 503, the second pipe 503 is located directly above tray 20, the first end of the second pipe 503 is connected to the steam source through the first pipe 501, and the other end is blocked by a plug 504;

[0033] The second pipe 503 includes a body 531 and a steam outlet 533 opened on the body 531, the steam outlet 533 facing the tray 20;

[0034] Material gate 534 is located on the outer surface of the main body 531; the material gate 534 is used to block the steam outlet 533 to stop steam output, or the material gate 534 is used to open the steam outlet 533 to output steam.

[0035] Furthermore, the steam source refers to a device that converts energy into steam, mainly used to provide high-temperature and high-pressure steam, converting energy such as natural gas, liquefied gas, electricity, etc. into heat energy, and generating steam by boiling it through a heating medium, which is usually water.

[0036] Steam delivered from the second pipe 503 via the first pipe 501 flows through the steam outlet 533 toward the tray 20, where high-pressure, high-temperature steam melts the grease, facilitating batch cleaning by the cleaning brush in subsequent processes.

[0037] In this embodiment, the material gate 534 includes a smooth part 534-1 and a mesh part 534-2. The smooth part 534-1 is disposed on both sides of the mesh part 534-2, and the smooth part 534-1 and the mesh part 534-2 are welded together.

[0038] Furthermore, the four corners of the material gate 534 are slidably engaged with the outer surface of the main body 531 via sliding components.

[0039] Furthermore, the sliding assembly is fixed to the sliders 535 at the four corners of the material gate 534, and a track 532 corresponding to the shape of the slider 535 is provided on the outer surface of the main body 531, and the slider 535 slides in cooperation with the track 532.

[0040] This utility model actuates the material gate 534, causing it to slide on the track 532. This adjusts the degree of overlap between the mesh portion 534-2 of the material gate 534 and the steam outlet 533, allowing high-pressure, high-temperature steam to be discharged directly. The greater the overlap between the mesh portion 534-2 and the steam outlet 533, the greater the steam output; conversely, the less overlap, the smaller the steam output, thus achieving the purpose of adjustment.

[0041] In this embodiment, to increase the stability of the material gate 534 before and after adjustment, a plurality of fixing holes 532-2 are opened on one side of the track 532 for the pin 531-1 to pass through. The pin 531-1 passes through the fixing holes 532-2 to limit and fix the material gate 534.

[0042] In one specific embodiment, the arc length of the mesh portion 534-2 is greater than the arc length at the steam outlet 533, so that the mesh portion 534-2 can completely cover the steam outlet 533.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first end of the second pipe 503 is connected to the first pipe 501 through a reducing pipe 502, so as to connect the second pipe 503 and the first pipe 501 with the same or different inner diameters.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, a handle 536 is fixed to one side of the end of the material gate 534, and a heat-resistant glove 537 is fitted on the handle 536 so that the heat-resistant glove 537 can be held to pull the material gate 534.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, the material gate is made of 534 stainless steel. Stainless steel is an abbreviation for stainless and acid-resistant steel. It is a type of steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water or has rust-resistant properties.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
