The material-discharging cam and sprocket group are connected to the driving shaft by a key, and the brush is connected to the driving shaft through a transmission rope. Both transmit torque. The material-discharging cam transmits power through the high pair of bearings on the bottom plate of the silo, so that it swings up and down in a certain pattern. It is used to control the position of the ice cream sticks in the silo and make them move closer to the chain.

The driven shaft drives the transfer cam through a key connection. The transfer cam is connected to the thickened bearing high pair to transmit up and down movement. The thickened bearing is a symmetrical structure with one bearing on each side, and the connection is that the inner ring of the bearing is welded to the shaft. The thickened outer ring of the bearing has a wear-resistant outer shell that can rotate relative to the transfer cam. It has only one rotational degree of freedom, which is used to uniformly contact the friction area of ​​the high pair line. The two fixed frames are respectively connected to the tension spring pins, and have only one rotational degree of freedom. The tailstock stud connection of the lifting rack constrains the degree of freedom of movement, and has only one rotational degree of freedom.

[0022] Feeding mechanism 19: The power transmitted by the motor outside the driving shaft 1 is used as the power source to drive the material-discharging cam 2, the sprocket group 3, and the brush 4, wherein the material-discharging cam 2 and the sprocket group 3 are connected to the driving shaft 1 by a key, and the brush 4 is connected to the driving shaft 1 through a transmission rope 17, and both transmit torque. The material-discharging cam 2 transmits power through the high pair of bearings on the bottom plate 5 of the silo, so that it swings up and down in a certain pattern, which is used to control the position of the ice cream sticks in the silo and make them move closer to the chain 6. In order to prevent excess ice cream sticks from being brought out of the chain link L plate, a brush 4 is installed to brush them back to the silo;

[0023] Transfer mechanism 20: The L plate 7 carries the ice cream stick through the anti-jump board 8, and the chain 6 drives the driven shaft 9 to rotate. The driven shaft 9 drives the transfer cam 10 through a key connection. The transfer cam 10 is connected to the thickened bearing 11 at a high pair to transmit up and down movement. The thickened bearing 11 is a symmetrical structure with one bearing on each side, and the connection is that the inner ring of the bearing is welded to the shaft. The wear-resistant outer shell of the thickened bearing outer ring will rotate relative to the transfer cam 10, and there is only one rotational degree of freedom on it, which is used to uniformly contact the friction area of ​​the high pair line. The two fixed frames 12 are respectively connected to the tension spring 13 pins, and there is only one rotational degree of freedom on it. The tailstock 14 of the lifting rack is connected with a stud to constrain the degree of freedom of movement, and there is only one rotational degree of freedom on it. At this time, the L plate 7 fixedly connected to the chain link of the chain 6 has two parallel planes, namely the high plane and the low plane, and the lifting rack 15 is provided with a transfer barrel 16 on the side close to the bottom plate 5 of the silo.

[0024] In order to further improve the use function of the wooden popsicle stick automatic transfer device, the support frame 18 is welded.

[0025] In order to further improve the use function of the wooden popsicle stick automatic transfer device, the fixed frame 12 and the support frame 18 are fixed by bolts.

[0026] In order to further improve the use function of the wooden popsicle stick automatic transfer device, the silo bottom plate 5 is rotatably connected to the brush 4.

[0027] In order to further improve the use function of the wooden popsicle stick automatic transfer device, the granary bottom plate and the support frame 18 are rotatably connected.

[0028] In order to further improve the use function of the wooden popsicle stick automatic transfer device, the main shaft is fixed to the support frame 18 through a fixing seat, and the fixing seat and the support frame 18 are fixed by bolts.

[0029] Operation process:

[0030] The device is divided into a feeding mechanism and a transfer mechanism.

[0031] Feeding mechanism: The power source is transmitted by the motor outside the driving shaft to drive the material cam, sprocket group and brush. The material cam and sprocket group are connected to the driving shaft by a key, and the brush is driven by a rope, all of which transmit torque. The material cam transmits power through the high pair of bearings on the bottom plate of the silo, so that the bottom plate of the silo swings up and down in a certain pattern, which is used to control the position of the popsicle sticks in the silo and make them move closer to the chain. In order to prevent excess popsicle sticks from being brought out of the chain link L plate, a brush is installed to brush them back to the silo. Advantages over the feeding mechanism of existing popsicle stick manufacturers: the feeding mechanism has a compact and simple transmission structure, the main transmission mechanism only involves one driving shaft, and the additional rope transmission is simple and easy to use.

[0032] Transfer mechanism: The L-board carries the popsicle sticks through the anti-jump board. This is set up because wooden popsicle sticks are lighter in texture and the chain drive has a larger speed fluctuation due to the polygonal effect, which reduces the vibration of the popsicle sticks and facilitates subsequent transfer.

[0033] The chain drives the driven shaft to rotate, and drives the transfer cam through the key connection, and connects with the thickened bearing high pair to transmit up and down movement. It is a symmetrical structure with one bearing on each side, and the connection is a shaft welding connection. The shaft does not rotate, but the thickened wear-resistant shell will rotate relative to the high pair line, which is used to evenly contact the friction area of ​​the high pair line. The two fixed frames are respectively connected with the tension spring pins, so that there is only one degree of rotation freedom on it, and the tailstock stud connection of the lifting rack constrains the degree of freedom of movement, so that there is only one degree of rotation freedom on it. At this time, the lifting rack takes its tailstock connection hole as the origin, and is forced to swing up and down at a certain frequency by the transfer cam and the tension spring. The L plate fixed on the chain link has two parallel planes, namely the high plane and the low plane. At first, the ice cream stick brought out of the silo is on the low plane. When the ice cream stick on the low plane of the L plate moves to the top of the lifting rack, the lifting rack lifts the ice cream stick and then quickly puts it down. At this time, the high plane of the L plate on the same chain link just moves to the top of the lifting rack, and the ice cream stick is lifted to the high plane. At this time, the ice cream stick is blocked by the transfer barrel baffle and due to the height difference, the ice cream stick is slid to the ice cream stick of the next L plate. At this time, the ice cream stick on the lower surface of the next chain link L plate is driven to the top of the lifting rack and then lifted by the lifting rack. The mechanism forms a closed loop. The ice cream stick is continuously lifted into the transfer barrel. The transfer barrel will serve the next link of the production line.

[0034] The automatic transfer device consists of two parts: loading and transferring. The first part of the loading mechanism is driven by a material shifting cam to drive the bottom plate of the silo to do reciprocating motion, and then the ice cream sticks are brought in by the chain links, and then the excess ice cream sticks are brushed off by a brush.

[0035] At this time, the loading is completed, and the popsicle sticks are driven by the chain to the lifting rack. The lifting rack takes the tailstock as the fixed origin, and is forced to swing up and down at a certain frequency by the transfer cam and tension spring, stacking the popsicle sticks on the lifting rack into the transfer barrel.

[0036] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention.
