Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to food production equipment, in particular to sandwich bread production equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the production of baked goods, sandwiches (or triangular bread) are usually made of multiple pieces of square bread with sauces and meat slices in the middle, and then the square bread is cut along the diagonal to form a triangular shape, and finally packaged. The existing production of sandwiches is basically done manually, which is not only inefficient but also unhygienic. Although there are devices in the prior art that can automatically cut sandwiches, after the sandwiches are cut, they are still processed and packaged manually. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a material sorting device for sandwich bread to realize the automation of sandwich bread production.
[0004] The solution of the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a material sorting device for sandwich bread, including a frame, on which a conveying mechanism is provided, and the conveying mechanism includes a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt moving from front to back, and the distance between the front ends of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt is smaller than the distance between the rear ends of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt.
[0005] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that since the sandwich bread just cut still has a certain stickiness in the middle, the present invention uses two gradually staggered conveyor belts to gradually pull the sandwich bread passing thereon apart, thereby achieving good separation.
[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt both include a plurality of O-shaped belts. Since the conveyor belt is not transported in a horizontal direction, the conveyor belt will have a radial force on the driving wheel, and the conveyor belt using the O-shaped belt has good ductility, so the plurality of side-by-side O-shaped belts can provide good durability and adjustability, so that the belt will not accidentally run out during the working process, ensuring the normal operation of the conveyor belt.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the present invention also includes an upper conveying mechanism, which has the same structure as the conveying mechanism and is located directly above the conveying mechanism. Sandwich bread is generally conveyed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt, using the friction between the bottom surface of the sandwich bread and the conveyor belt. Since there is a certain adhesion between the two sandwich breads that have just been cut, it is difficult to ensure the normal separation of the two breads by the friction of the bottom surface of the sandwich alone. Therefore, an upper conveying mechanism is added above the frame, and a group of conveyor belts is added on the top surface of the sandwich bread. The speeds of the upper and lower conveyor belts are the same, so that the two sandwich breads can be well separated.
[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the frame is provided with a column, the column is provided with an elongated slot, and the upper conveying mechanism is installed on the elongated slot by bolts. For sandwich breads of different thicknesses, the thickness of the sandwich bread can be adapted by adjusting the height of the upper conveying mechanism.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the present invention also includes a material receiving mechanism, the material receiving mechanism includes a first material receiving channel and a second material receiving channel, the head end of the first material receiving channel is connected to the rear end of the first conveyor belt, the head end of the second material receiving channel is connected to the rear end of the second conveyor belt, and the ends of the first material receiving channel and the second material receiving channel are vertically offset. Since the material receiving channels are vertically offset, different packaging machines can be connected behind the material receiving channels. Since the orientations of the sandwich breads on the two material receiving channels are different, one is at a right angle to the left and the other is at a right angle to the right, the cut sandwich breads can be packaged separately, which can improve the packaging efficiency.
[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a separator is provided on the conveying mechanism, and the separator is in an inverted V shape, and the separator is located between the rear end of the first conveyor belt and the rear end of the second conveyor belt. By adding a V-shaped separator at the end of the conveying mechanism, the sandwich bread can be completely separated after entering the receiving channel.
[0011] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the present invention also includes a front-end sorting mechanism, the front-end sorting mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a cross bar is provided on the conveyor belt, a positioning block is provided on the cross bar, the positioning block includes two mutually perpendicular baffles, the positioning block is installed on the cross bar through a driving unit, and the positioning block can move up and down relative to the cross bar. In order to allow the two cut sandwiches to enter the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt smoothly, the two sandwiches need to be pre-positioned, the cut sandwiches are still conveyed together on the conveyor belt, and then the positioning block is actuated so that the edges of the two sandwiches can be attached to the two baffles respectively, and then the positioning block is reset, and the two sandwiches can continue to be conveyed backwards and enter the two conveyor belts.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the crossbar is provided with a mounting seat, the mounting seat is provided with a transverse groove, and the drive unit is mounted on the transverse groove. The mounting position of the drive unit is adjusted to adjust the position of the positioning block.
[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the crossbar is further provided with an adjustment lever, which is movably mounted on the crossbar. The adjustment lever can be used to pre-intervene the position of the sandwich bread, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the sandwich bread.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the present invention further comprises a packaging mechanism, which is located behind the conveying mechanism. After the two cut sandwiches are completely separated, the packaging mechanism is used to automatically pack the sandwiches, making the sandwiches cleaner and more efficient.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-2 A sandwich bread material handling device includes a frame 1, on which a conveying mechanism 2 is provided, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21 and a second conveyor belt 22 moving from front to back, the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt both include a plurality of O-shaped belts, and the distance between the front ends of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22 is smaller than the distance between the rear ends of the first conveyor belt 21 and the second conveyor belt 22. The frame also includes an upper conveying mechanism 3, which also includes two groups of conveyor belts, and the structures and positions of the two groups of conveyor belts are opposite to the structures and positions of the conveyor belts on the conveying mechanism 2; and a material receiving mechanism 4, which includes a first material receiving channel 41 and a second material receiving channel 42, the head end of the first material receiving channel is connected to the rear end of the first conveyor belt, the head end of the second material receiving channel is connected to the rear end of the second conveyor belt, and the ends of the first material receiving channel and the second material receiving channel are staggered up and down. The receiving channel is also provided with an O-shaped belt, and the O-shaped belt on the receiving channel is integrated with the O-shaped belt of the conveying structure, that is, the O-shaped belt crosses the conveying mechanism and the receiving mechanism at the same time, and the sandwich bread goes from the conveying mechanism to the receiving mechanism on the O-shaped belt, and enters the packaging mechanism from the receiving mechanism. The conveying mechanism 2 is provided with a separator 23, and the separator 23 is in an inverted V shape, and the separator 23 is located between the rear end of the first conveyor belt 21 and the rear end of the second conveyor belt 22. When the two slices of sandwich bread are conveyed to the rear end, they should be completely isolated, but it is possible that the sauce of some sandwiches has good adhesion, even if they are separated by a certain distance, they are still "connected", so the separator can be used to ensure that the two sandwich breads have no connection when they enter the receiving channel. Preferably, there can be two groups of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt on the conveying mechanism, and correspondingly, the receiving channel of the receiving mechanism also corresponds to the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism.
[0020] In this embodiment, the front end of the conveying mechanism 2 also includes a front end finishing mechanism 5, the front end finishing mechanism 5 includes a conveying belt 51, a cross bar 52 is provided on the conveying belt 51, a positioning block 53 is provided on the cross bar 52, the positioning block 53 includes two mutually perpendicular baffles 531, the positioning block 531 is installed on the cross bar 52 through a driving unit 54, and the positioning block 53 can move up and down relative to the cross bar 52. After the square bread is cut diagonally in the external mechanism (not shown in the figure) in the previous sequence, the square bread enters the front end finishing mechanism and is transmitted backward on the conveying belt. At this time, the driving unit (such as a cylinder) drives the positioning block to move downward, the square bread abuts against the positioning block, and under the forward propulsion of the conveying belt, the two sides of the square bread can be tightly attached to the two baffles, and the connection position of the two baffles is just located in the middle of the two conveyor belts. After completing the position adjustment, the positioning block is reset, the square bread continues to move backward, and smoothly enters the two conveyor belts. Under the bifurcated transmission of the conveyor belt, the two sandwich breads are gradually pulled apart.
[0021] Preferably, a mounting seat 55 is provided on the crossbar 52, a transverse groove is provided on the mounting seat 55, and the driving unit 54 is installed on the transverse groove. When the position of the mounting seat is adjusted, the position of the positioning block can be adjusted at the same time.
[0022] Preferably, the crossbar 52 is also provided with an adjustment lever 56, which is movably mounted on the crossbar 52. The adjustment lever can move left and right relative to the crossbar or rotate around an axis perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt. By adding a movable adjustment lever, the position of the square bread can be adjusted in advance so that the square bread can better contact the positioning block. More preferably, a paddle can be added to the front end of the adjustment lever.
[0023] In some embodiments, a column may be provided on the frame, a vertical elongated slot may be provided on the column, and the upper conveying mechanism may be mounted on the elongated slot by bolts. When the thickness of the sandwich bread changes, the installation height of the upper conveying mechanism may be adjusted so that the O-shaped belt of the upper conveying mechanism can contact the sandwich bread, thereby providing conveying power.
[0024] Preferably, a packaging mechanism 6 can be added at the rear end of the material handling device, and the packaging mechanism 6 is located behind the conveying mechanism. The number of packaging mechanisms is generally the same as the number of material receiving channels. The sandwich bread enters the packaging mechanism from the material receiving channel, and then the packaging mechanism automatically completes the packaging of the sandwich bread. The packaging mechanism can be, for example, an automatic tray packaging mechanism or a bagging packaging mechanism.
