DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the attached embodiment of the present invention Figure 1-4 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] The unmanned automatic tableware loading and insertion system comprises a conveyor belt, a water sprinkling and cleaning device and a loading and insertion device. The water sprinkling and cleaning device 3 is arranged above the conveyor belt, and the loading and insertion device is arranged at the end of the conveyor belt. The loading and insertion device comprises a limit block, and a plurality of limit blocks are connected and assembled to form a circulating rotating loading and insertion belt. The tableware to be cleaned is placed on the conveyor belt, cleaned by the water sprinkling and cleaning device, and then inserted into the loading and insertion belt.

[0023] Both the transverse conveyor belt 1 and the longitudinal conveyor belt 2 are circularly rotating conveyor belts controlled by motors. The conveyor belts are assembled with a number of conveyor plates. Each conveyor block is connected head to tail. There is a height difference between the head and tail of the conveyor block, and the whole is in a horizontal stepped shape. The stepped structure can increase the adhesion between the conveyor belt and the tableware, so that the tableware will not slide on the conveyor belt.

[0024] The end of the transverse conveyor belt is an inclined conveyor belt 101, which is approximately in the middle of the inclined conveyor belt. The longitudinal conveyor belt is arranged on one side, and the tableware enters the longitudinal conveyor belt.

[0025] The water sprinkling and cleaning device on the transverse conveyor belt relies on the water pump 4 arranged at the bottom of the transverse conveyor belt to extract the clean water in the water tank 5, and sprays and preliminarily cleans each tableware through each sprinkling rod 6. In addition to the function of preliminary cleaning, the water sprinkling and cleaning device also plays the role of turning over the bowl. If the bowl is facing the sprinkling rod, the bowl will be filled with clean water as the sprinkling rod sprays the clean water. When the bowl filled with clean water moves to the position of the inclined conveyor belt, due to the height difference between the transverse conveyor belt and the longitudinal conveyor belt, the bowl filled with clean water will turn over with the back facing up, while the bowl that originally had its back facing the sprinkling rod will not be affected.

[0026] The end of the longitudinal conveyor belt is connected to the insertion belt 7, and the tableware is fed into the insertion belt 7 one by one. The insertion belt is composed of a plurality of limit blocks, and the limit blocks include a connecting portion and a blocking portion. The connecting portion is mainly used to connect the adjacent limit blocks along the rotation direction of the insertion belt. The blocking portion is stretched upward with the connecting portion as the base, and is in the shape of a boss. The blocking portion facing the side of the longitudinal conveyor belt is a blocking surface structure 703, and the blocking portion facing the side of the longitudinal conveyor belt is provided with a barb structure 704. The tableware is inserted in the connecting portion between the two limit blocks. One side of the tableware relies on the blocking surface structure, and the other side is slightly tilted with the reinforced guide arc surface between the connecting portion and the blocking portion, and is clamped and limited by the barb structure. The reinforced guide arc surface 706 plays the role of reinforcing the connecting portion and the blocking portion, and at the same time, it also plays the role of guiding the insertion position of the tableware.

[0027] The movable blocks 701 are all movable blocks along the same row. A connecting hole 705 is provided on the connecting part of the movable block. Each movable block is connected together by a connecting rod passing through the connecting hole. The connecting section of the connecting rod is provided with a roller, and a guide rail is provided under the roller to assist the rotation of the insertion belt.

[0028] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
