[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0033] The dumpling machine of the present invention is used for discharging dumpling boxes 500. The dumpling machine of the present invention mainly includes a dumpling discharging device, a conveying device, a manipulator, a box discharging device, a cover discharging device and a steaming device. Figure 1-Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the box discharging device of the dumpling machine includes a shell 100, a box supporting mechanism 200, a disengaging mechanism 300 and a box pushing mechanism 400.

[0034] The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 110 for receiving the stacked dumpling boxes 500. The upper end of the dumpling boxes 500 has a flange portion, and there is a gap between the flange portions of adjacent dumpling boxes 500. The bottom end of the housing 100 is provided with a base 120, and the front side of the bottom end of the housing 100 is provided with a box outlet (not shown).

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the box supporting mechanism 200 includes a first horizontal driving mechanism 210 and a first inserting plate 220. The first inserting plate 220 moves left and right through the first horizontal driving mechanism 210, and can be inserted into and out of the gap between the bottommost dumpling box and the dumpling box above it.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the disengagement mechanism 300 includes a bottom plate 310, a second horizontal driving mechanism 320, a second plug plate 330 and a vertical driving mechanism 340. The second horizontal driving mechanism 320 is arranged on the bottom plate 310 and is located below the first horizontal driving mechanism 210, driving the second plug plate 330 to move left and right, so that the second plug plate 330 can be inserted into and withdrawn from the gap between the bottommost dumpling box and the dumpling box on the upper side thereof. The vertical driving mechanism 340 can drive the second plug plate 330 to move up and down. When the second plug plate 330 is located in the gap, the second plug plate 330 moves downward and abuts against the upper surface of the flange portion of the bottommost dumpling box, and the bottommost dumpling box is pressed downward to completely disengage from the upper dumpling box downward. The bottom plate 310 is fixedly connected to the second plug plate 330 for supporting the dumpling box 500. The height between the bottom plate 310 and the second plug plate 330 is slightly greater than the height of a dumpling box 500.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the box pushing mechanism 400 includes a third horizontal driving mechanism 410 and a pushing plate 420. The pushing plate 420 is arranged on the rear side of the bottom plate 310. The pushing plate 420 moves back and forth through the third horizontal driving mechanism 410, and can push the bottommost dumpling box out of the box outlet along the bottom plate 310 after detachment.

[0038] The box discharging principle of the above-mentioned box discharging device is as follows:

[0039] First, the dumpling boxes 500 stacked up and down are first placed in the accommodating cavity 110 of the shell 100, wherein there is a gap between the flanges of adjacent dumpling boxes 500. When the box holding mechanism 200 and the disengagement mechanism 300 are in the initial position, the first plug plate 220 and the second plug plate 330 are located at the outer side, that is, close to the inner wall of the shell 100. After the dumpling box 500 is placed, it is supported on the bottom plate 310 of the disengagement mechanism 300. Since the height between the bottom plate 310 and the second plug plate 330 is equal to the height of one dumpling box 500, when the second plug plate 330 moves inward, it can be inserted into the gap between the dumpling box at the bottom and the dumpling box above it. The height of the first plug plate 220 is also set relative to the gap. When it is necessary to take the dumplings out of the box, the first plug plate 220 and the second plug plate 330 both move inward to the gap between the bottommost dumpling box and the dumpling box on the upper side, and the second plug plate 330 moves downward, and by pressing down the flange of the bottommost dumpling box, the bottommost dumpling box is pulled down. At this time, the dumpling box on the upper side is supported on the first plug plate 220 by its flange, and the second plug plate 330 continues to move downward until the dumpling box on the bottom end is completely separated from the dumpling box on the upper side, that is, the bottom end of the dumpling box on the upper side is separated from the inner cavity of the bottommost dumpling box. Then the second plug plate 330 moves outward and separates from the dumpling box 500, and the push plate 420 located at the rear side of the bottom plate 310 moves forward, pushing the detached bottommost dumpling box forward, and pushing the dumpling box 500 out of the box outlet on the front side, thereby pushing out a dumpling box. Finally, the push plate 420 moves backward to reset, the bottom plate 310 and the second plug plate 330 move upward, and the bottom plate 310 returns to the initial position. The first plug plate 220 moves outward to release the dumpling box supported on it, and the dumpling box falls onto the bottom plate 310 below. At this point, the box holding mechanism 200 and the separation mechanism 300 are reset. Repeat the above actions to carry out the next dumpling box 500.

[0040] The above-mentioned box discharging device has a reasonable structural design and a compact structure. Through the cooperation of the box holding mechanism 200, the disengaging mechanism 300 and the box pushing mechanism 400, combined with the structure of the dumpling box 500, the automatic box discharging operation of the dumpling box 500 can be realized.

[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 The first plug plate 220 and the first horizontal driving mechanism 210 are respectively provided with two, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the dumpling box 500. The first horizontal driving mechanism 210 includes a first horizontal cylinder, and the first horizontal cylinder is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 100. The first plug plate 220 includes a first vertical plate 221 and a first horizontal plate 222 connected to each other, the first vertical plate 221 is connected to the first horizontal cylinder, and the first horizontal plate 222 can be inserted into and out of the gap between the bottommost dumpling box and the dumpling box above it.

[0042] In order to enhance the supporting strength of the second plug plate 330 and prevent excessive downward pressure of the dumpling box 500 from directly acting on the first horizontal cylinder, a guide portion is provided on the first vertical plate 221, and a guide matching portion is correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the housing 100, and the guide portion slides against the guide matching portion. Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the guide portion includes a groove 2211 opened along the length direction of the first vertical plate 221 and a first rib 2222 arranged on the upper side of the groove 2211, and the guide matching portion includes a second rib (not shown) arranged on the inner wall of the shell 100 and matching with the groove 2211, and the upper side surface of the second rib abuts against the lower side surface of the first rib 2222; when the first plug plate 220 moves outward, the second rib is inserted into the groove 2211.

[0043] Correspondingly, two second horizontal driving mechanisms 320 and two second plug plates 330 are also provided, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the dumpling box 500. The second horizontal driving mechanism 320 includes a second horizontal cylinder. The second plug plate 330 includes a second vertical plate 331 and a second horizontal plate 332, the second vertical plate 331 is connected to the second horizontal cylinder, and the second horizontal plate 332 can be inserted into and out of the gap between the bottom dumpling box and the dumpling box above it.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The bottom plate 310 is connected to the rear side plate 350 and the top plate 360. The bottom plate 310 and the rear side plate 350 are provided with a notch groove 370 that penetrates forward and backward along the front-back direction. The push plate 420 is arranged at the rear side of the rear side plate 350 and can move forward and backward along the notch groove 370. The second horizontal cylinders are fixedly arranged on the left and right sides of the rear side plate 350 respectively. The top plate 360 ​​is connected to the vertical driving mechanism 340. The vertical driving mechanism 340 drives the top plate 360 ​​to move up and down, thereby driving the second horizontal cylinder, the second plug plate 330 and the bottom plate 310 to move up and down.

[0045] Specifically, the vertical drive mechanism 340 includes a lifting cylinder, which is fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the housing 100; the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to the top plate 360. Preferably, the lifting cylinder is fixedly arranged at the middle position of the rear side wall of the housing 100.

[0046] In order to ensure the stability of the up and down movement of the bottom plate 310 and the second plug plate 330, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The bottom plate 310 on both sides of the notch 370 is symmetrically provided with notches 381, and a guide rail 382 is vertically arranged in the notch 381, and the upper end of the guide rail 382 is fixedly connected to the upper first horizontal driving mechanism 210. When the bottom plate 310 moves up and down, the guide rail 382 plays a guiding role.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown, the box pushing mechanism 400 also includes a horizontal support plate 430 for supporting the dumpling box 500 pushed out from the front side of the bottom plate 310. The push plate 420 is vertically arranged on the horizontal support plate 430, and the horizontal support plate 430 is connected to the second horizontal cylinder. The second horizontal cylinder is preferably a rodless cylinder, which is fixedly arranged on the base 120. The horizontal support plate 430 is fixedly arranged on the slider of the second horizontal cylinder. The second horizontal cylinder is arranged on one side of the horizontal support plate 430. A guide rail structure 440 is also arranged between the horizontal support plate 430 and the base 120, and the guide rail structure 440 is arranged on the other side of the horizontal support plate 430 to ensure the smooth sliding of the horizontal support plate 430 and the push plate 420.

[0048] In the box discharging device of the present invention, the thickness and height of the first plug plate 220 and the second plug plate 330, as well as the height of the gap between the dumpling boxes, are not specifically limited, as long as the first plug plate and the second plug plate can be inserted into the gap to achieve the supporting and pressing operations. The insertion ends of the first plug plate 220 and the second plug plate 330 are preferably inclined structures for easy insertion. The first horizontal plate 222 of the first plug plate 220 and the second horizontal plate 332 of the second plug plate 330 can be provided in plurality.

[0049] In the present invention, the first horizontal driving mechanism 210 and the second horizontal driving mechanism 320 are not limited to cylinder driving structures, but may also be motor driving structures, hydraulic driving structures, etc.
