[0002] Strip materials, such as noodles, vermicelli and strip-shaped puffed foods, are usually transported to the next process for packaging through their production equipment after they are formed. During the transportation process, they are usually weighed or sorted so that they can enter the subsequent packaging process for packaging.

[0003] In the automatic packaging machines of the prior art, it is necessary to transport the strip materials in the packaging process along the strip direction. For example, common noodles are transported to the packaging equipment through the trough conveyor line after production. However, the existing trough conveyor line often gets stuck during the circular conveying.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] The present invention discloses a device for conveying strip materials. For a specific preferred embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , which includes: a first chain assembly 100, which has a plurality of chain buckles 103, which are linked in sequence to form a chain assembly that can rotate cyclically, and a first transmission sprocket 102 is provided. The first transmission sprocket 102 engages with the first chain assembly 100, thereby driving the first chain assembly 100 to rotate cyclically between the first transmission sprocket 102 and the first driven sprocket 105.

[0043] At least one second chain assembly 200 is arranged on the side of the first chain assembly 100. Preferably, two second chain assemblies 200 can be arranged, respectively arranged on both sides of the first chain assembly 100. Each of the second chain assemblies 200 is provided with a second transmission sprocket 202 that rotates vertically with the first transmission sprocket 110, which can drive the second chain assembly 200 to circulate around the second transmission sprocket 202 and the second driven sprocket 203.

[0044] It should be noted that, the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 of the present invention are respectively connected by a plurality of chain links in sequence to form a circulating drive chain, and the first chain assembly 100 and the first transmission sprocket 102 together constitute a first transmission assembly, which is used to drive a plurality of support parts 120 that remain horizontal and rotate vertically in a circular motion, and the support parts 120 can be used to hold strip materials, such as noodles, etc.; the second chain assembly 200 and the second transmission sprocket 202 together constitute a second transmission assembly, which is used to drive a plurality of side blocking parts 220 that remain vertical and rotate horizontally in a circular motion, and the side blocking parts 220 can be used to block the strip materials from the side.

[0045] In the working space, that is, the space section where the strip is held on the support 120 and transported, the support 120 and the side block 220 need to be staggered in sequence to form a blockage, and when leaving the working space, the support 120 and the side block 220 need to be separated from each other and enter their own cyclic rotation process. Therefore, the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly must synchronously drive the cyclic rotation of the support 120 and the side block 220.

[0046] Preferably, a plurality of the support parts 120 that can move with the rotation of the chain are arranged on the first chain assembly 100, so that when the support part 120 enters a section of the working space, that is, in the horizontal straight transport stage, it can remain horizontal and rotate from the vertical cycle back to the starting position of the working space when leaving the working space. Figure 2 The position indicated by reference numeral 320 can be used to place the strip material and transport it to the next packaging station.

[0047] Preferably, the first chain assembly 100 and the first transmission sprocket 102 of the present invention are arranged in groups of two, so that the support part 120 can be arranged between the corresponding positions of the chains on both sides to form a cross bar perpendicular to the conveying direction. Several support parts 120 are arranged in parallel and can be translated along the conveying direction, thereby carrying the strip material and conveying it to the next workstation.

[0048] A plurality of vertically arranged side blocks 220 are arranged on the upper side blocks of the second chain assembly 200, such as Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, the second chain assembly 200 can cyclically rotate in the horizontal direction to cooperate with the support portion 120 to block the material from the side to keep the material in order during transportation.

[0049] Wherein, one end of the side stopper 220 is set as a free end. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the side block 220 is a free end toward the lower end, and the free end can ensure that the side block 220 is maintained between the two support parts 120 in the working space, and when leaving the working space, the first chain assembly drives the support part to rotate vertically, so that the support part 120 is downwardly separated from the free end of the side block 220. In this way, the side block 220 can also be driven by the second chain assembly 200 to rotate in a horizontal direction.

[0050] In order to ensure the cooperation between the side block 220 and the support part 120, in a preferred embodiment, the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 must keep synchronous rotation and keep pace. Preferably, the chain buckle size and sprocket tooth pitch can be set to be consistent, and the predetermined spacing between the side block 220 and the support part 120 can be set to be consistent or proportionally matched, for example, each side block corresponds to one or more support parts, or vice versa. In addition, the structural arrangement of the side block 220 and the support part 120 can be swapped in special circumstances. Moreover, the present invention is not limited to the chain drive mode, and can also be driven by a synchronous belt, a belt, a chain and a synchronous belt mix or a gear set. As long as synchronous transmission is guaranteed, it should also belong to the equivalent alternative scheme of the present invention. At the same time, the driving device and driving form of each chain group are not limited to gear transmission and a single power. For example, three powers can simultaneously drive each chain group to run synchronously.

[0051] To achieve synchronous transmission and drive, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the synchronous transmission between the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 can be achieved through a first bevel gear 110 coaxially arranged with the first transmission sprocket 102, and a second bevel gear 210 coaxially arranged with the second transmission sprocket. The meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210 can achieve synchronous rotation of the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200.

[0052] It should be noted that the synchronous driving of the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned bevel gear transmission, but can also be set as an independent driving source. For example, without using the bevel gear meshing transmission, the first chain assembly and the second chain assembly can be driven separately. However, in order to achieve synchronous transmission drive, it is necessary to synchronously control the driving components, such as using multiple corresponding stepper motors or servo motors, and realizing the synchronous rotation of the support part and the side stop part through the synchronous drive control of the control center.

[0053] The first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210 are both bevel gears. The first bevel gear 110 is coaxially arranged with the first transmission sprocket 102, and can be arranged as an integral part. The second bevel gear 210 is coaxially arranged with the second transmission sprocket 202, and can be arranged as an integral part. The first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210 realize vertical transmission through the engagement on their tooth surfaces, so that the rotation drive of the entire system can be realized through a rotation drive source. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a driving device such as a motor (not shown in the figure) is arranged on the coaxial outer connecting portion 107 of the first bevel gear and the first transmission sprocket, such as Figure 2 shown.

[0054] However, in an understandable embodiment, the present invention can integrate the first transmission component and the second transmission component into a system through the drive of the above-mentioned bevel gear, that is, the driving device such as a motor can be set at any position of the sprocket system of the present invention, for example, on the axle of any driven sprocket or at a position coaxial with the second transmission sprocket, etc. After the external driving device is set, the driving of the strip material conveying device of the present invention can also be achieved. Of course, the first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210 shown in the present invention are bevel gear transmissions, driven by the same power, and it should be understood that it can also be belt, synchronous belt, chain transmission, or multiple driving devices drive separately or electronically synchronized, etc.

[0055] In order to reduce the overall weight of the strip material conveying device, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 120 and the side stop portion 220 can be configured as a hollow round rod.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first chain assembly 100 can be connected to an external driving device (not shown in the figure), and driven by the external driving device to perform circumferential reciprocating motion in the vertical direction. The first bevel gear 110 and the first chain assembly 100 rotate synchronously coaxially. Through the engagement of the first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210, the rotation is vertically transmitted to the second transmission sprocket 202 and the second chain assembly 200 to synchronously follow the rotation.

[0057] The support portion 120 is used to place strips of material, such as noodles (this example is used below); there are two second chain assemblies 200, so the side stoppers 220 therein can be used to limit the displacement of the noodles on both sides, so that the noodles are in the space formed by the support portion 120 and the side stoppers 220, that is, the accommodating area in the working space.

[0058] To explain in conjunction with the actual production process, after the production of the noodles is completed, they are placed in the space between the support portion 120 and the side stop portion 220. At this time, the noodles need to be transported to the next process for packaging. The first chain assembly is driven by an external drive device to start running, and the first bevel gear 110 rotates synchronously. Then, the second bevel gear 210 also rotates in the vertical direction following the first transmission sprocket 110, so that the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 can operate synchronously.

[0059] Furthermore, the first chain assembly 100 drives a plurality of support parts 120 to keep moving horizontally in sequence and to make circumferential reciprocating motion from the vertical direction, and the support parts 120 drive the noodles thereon to follow the movement; at the same time, the second chain assembly 200 drives the side block parts 220 to remain between adjacent support parts 120 in the vertical direction, and to keep making circumferential reciprocating motion from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction, and the side block parts 220 and the support parts 120 form an operating space and a containing space for holding the strip-shaped materials; and because the side block parts 220 have free ends, the hanging noodle can be easily moved. On the outside of the second chain assembly, it can be maintained between two adjacent support parts 120. Therefore, through the above-mentioned circular motion, the support part 120 and the side block part 220 can be kept staggered in the working space to form a space convenient for holding strip materials, and at the end of the working space, they can be out of the staggered state to facilitate their respective circumferential reciprocating motion, and then the operation of the entire first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 does not interfere with each other, and no jamming will occur between each other, thereby ensuring the conveying efficiency of the strip material conveying device.

[0060] As a further solution, the strip material conveying device further includes a push plate 300, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is arranged on part of the support portion 120, so as to separate the working space to adapt to different strip lengths. The bottom of the push plate 300 has a folding plate 310, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the push plate 300 is connected to the support portion 120 via the folding plate 310 , and the push plate 300 is arranged to stand upright from the support portion 120 . The width of the push plate 300 can ensure that both ends extend between two adjacent side stop portions 220 .

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the push plate 300 is arranged on the support part 120 through the folding plate 310, and moves cyclically with the rotation of the first chain assembly and the translation and circumferential circulation of the support part 120; optionally, the push plate 300 is rectangular. There can be several push plates 300, and two adjacent push plates 300 form a receiving area 320 with the support part 120 and the side stop 220 for accommodating the noodles of corresponding length to be transported. By extending the two ends of the push plate 300 between the two adjacent side stops 220, the two ends of the noodles can be limited, so the combination of the side stop 220 and the push plate 300 can prevent the noodles from horizontally displacing on the first plane.

[0062] It should be further pointed out that the lengths of the first chain assembly and the second chain assembly of the present invention are for illustration only. When applied to different specific production lines and packaging machines, different lengths can be set to form a corresponding number of accommodating areas, and the length setting of the accommodating area can also be adjusted as needed, by simply adjusting the support portion 120 on which the push plate 300 is installed.

[0063] As a further explanation of the solution, Figure 2 As shown, the first chain assembly 100 is also arranged on the following structure: a driving shaft 101, a first transmission sprocket 102, a first chain sprocket 103, a first driven shaft 104 and a first driven sprocket 105; both ends of the driving shaft 101 are connected to the first bevel gear 110; the first transmission sprocket 102 is symmetrically arranged on the transmission shaft and located between the first bevel gears 110; the first driven sprocket 105 is symmetrically arranged on both ends of the first driven shaft 104, and is meshed with the first transmission sprocket 102 through the first chain sprocket 103; wherein, the first chain assembly 100 has a plurality of first outer link plates 106 connected in sequence, and one side of the first outer link plate 106 is used to fix one end of the support portion 120.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present invention, the two ends of the driving shaft 101 are provided with connecting parts 107 protruding from the first bevel gear 110, and the connecting parts 107 are used to connect with an external driving device. When the noodles are produced, they are placed in the accommodating area 320. At this time, the noodles need to be transported to the next process for packaging. The external driving device is connected to the connecting part 107 to make the driving shaft 101 start to rotate, and the first bevel gears 110 set at both ends of the driving shaft 101 rotate synchronously, and the second bevel gear 210 rotates vertically following the first bevel gear 110, so that the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 run simultaneously. At the same time, the first transmission sprocket 102 rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 101, the first chain assembly 100 is meshed with the first transmission sprocket 102, and the first driven sprocket rotates with the first transmission sprocket 102 driven by the first chain assembly 100, and the first driven shaft 104 rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 101, and the support part 120 and the push plate 300 follow the first chain assembly 100 to make a circular motion.

[0065] The second chain assembly 200 is also arranged on the following structure: a second driven shaft 201, a second transmission sprocket 202, a second driven sprocket 203 and a second chain sprocket 204; the second driven shaft 201 is arranged perpendicular to the driving shaft 101, and one end is connected to the second bevel gear 210; the second transmission sprocket 202 is arranged at the other end of the second driven shaft 201, the second driven sprocket 203 is located above the first driven shaft 104, and is meshed with the second transmission sprocket 202 through the second chain assembly 200; wherein, the second chain sprocket 204 has a second outer link plate 205, and the second outer link plate 205 is fixedly connected to one end of the side stop 220.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the operation starts through the first chain assembly 100, the second bevel gear 210 rotates vertically following the first bevel gear 110, and drives the second driven shaft 201 to start rotating, and the second transmission sprocket 202 coaxially arranged with the second bevel gear 210 rotates synchronously, and the second driven sprocket 203 meshing with the second transmission sprocket 202 through the second chain assembly 200 is synchronously meshed, and the side baffle 220 connected to the second outer link plate 205 follows the second chain assembly 200 to make a horizontal circular motion, thereby realizing the staggered movement between the side baffle plate and the support part 120 and the push plate 300.

[0067] Specifically, the second chain link 204 is also equipped with a connecting plate 206 through the second outer link plate; the connecting plate 206 has a first connecting end 207 and a second connecting end 208; the first connecting end 207 is connected to the second outer link plate 205, and the second connecting end 208 is connected to the fixed end of the side stop 220. Preferably, the connecting plate 206 is triangular, and the width of the first connecting end 207 is greater than the width of the second connecting end 208; by setting the width of the second connecting end 208 to be smaller, the side stop 220 on the second connecting end 208 can have a certain movable gap, so that the distance between the other end of the side stop bar and the two adjacent support parts 120 can be adjusted. Among them, the first end and the second outer link plate 205 are detachably connected. In actual use, because it is necessary to transport noodles of different weights or sizes, the distance between the side stop bar and the side stop bar in another second chain assembly 200 can be adjusted by replacing connecting plates 206 of different sizes, thereby changing the limit distance on both sides of the noodles.

[0068] It should be understood that the above structures of the support portion 120, the side stop portion 220 and the connecting plate 206 are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limitations of the present invention. The specific structure and shape should be selected according to actual production conditions.

[0069] It should be noted that the strip material conveying device in the present invention also includes components in the prior art such as a support group (not shown in the figure), a guide group (not shown in the figure), and a drive group (not shown in the figure). The specific structure thereof will not be elaborated here. At the same time, the strip material conveying device in the present invention is the basis for transporting strip materials, and various functions can be added on this basis, such as components in the prior art for other functions such as sorting and receiving materials, aligning the outlet surface, etc.

[0070] The working principle of the strip material conveying device in the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below:

[0071] When the noodles are produced and need to be transported, they are placed in the accommodating area 320 and connected to the connecting part 107 through an external driving device so that the driving shaft 101 starts to rotate, and the first transmission sprocket 102 rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 101. The first chain assembly 100 is meshed with the first transmission sprocket 102, and the first slave sprocket rotates with the first transmission sprocket 102 driven by the first chain assembly 100. The first driven shaft 104 rotates synchronously with the driving shaft 101, and the support part 120 and the push plate 300 follow the first chain assembly 100 to make a circular motion.

[0072] At the same time, the first bevel gears 110 arranged at both ends of the driving shaft 101 rotate synchronously, and the second bevel gears 210 rotate vertically following the first bevel gear 110 and drive the second driven shaft 201 to rotate synchronously, and the second transmission sprocket 202 coaxially arranged with the second bevel gear 210 rotates synchronously, and the second driven sprocket 203 meshing with the second transmission sprocket 202 through the second chain assembly 200 is synchronously meshed, and the side baffle 220 connected to the second outer link plate 205 follows the second chain 204 to make a circular motion, thereby realizing the staggered motion between the side baffle plate and the support part 120 and the push plate 300.

[0073] Embodiment 2:

[0074] See also Figure 6 Based on the above-mentioned strip material conveying device, the present invention also discloses a strip material conveying method, which includes the steps of:

[0075] S100, placing the strip material in the space surrounded by the support portion 120 and the side blocking portion 220;

[0076] S200, the first chain assembly 100 is started, driving the support portion 120 to maintain horizontality and to perform circumferential circular motion in the vertical direction, while the first bevel gear 110 and the second bevel gear 210 are vertically driven;

[0077] S300 , the second chain assembly 200 drives the side block 220 to maintain a vertical orientation and to perform a circumferential circular motion in a horizontal upward direction, so that the side block 220 extends between the two support portions 120 or separates from between the two support portions 120 .

[0078] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the production of the noodles is completed, they are placed in the space between the support portion 120 and the side stop portion 220. At this time, the noodles need to be transported to the next process for packaging. The first chain assembly 100 is driven by an external drive device to start running, and the first bevel gear 110 rotates synchronously, and the second bevel gear 210 rotates vertically with the first bevel gear 110, thereby realizing the synchronous operation of the first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200.

[0079] Furthermore, the first chain assembly 100 makes a circumferential motion in the vertical direction, and the support portion 120 drives the noodles thereon to follow the motion; at the same time, the second chain assembly 200 makes a circumferential motion in the horizontal direction, and the side block portion 220 follows the motion; and because the free end of the side block portion 220 extends between the two support portions 120, a staggered motion is formed between the support portion 120 and the side block portion 220, and thus the operations of the entire first chain assembly 100 and the second chain assembly 200 do not interfere with each other, and no jamming occurs between them, thereby ensuring the conveying efficiency of the strip materials.

[0080] In summary, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a device and method for conveying strip materials, wherein the device for conveying strip materials includes: a first transmission assembly for driving a plurality of support parts that remain horizontal and rotate vertically in a circular motion, for containing the strip materials; a second transmission assembly for driving a plurality of side blocks that remain vertical and rotate horizontally in a circular motion, for blocking the strip materials from the side; one end of the side block is set as a free end, and is maintained between the two support parts in the working space, and the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly are kept synchronously driven. The device for conveying strip materials in the embodiment of the present invention synchronously drives the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly, so that the support parts and the side blocks move forward in an alternating manner, and the transport mechanism can move in a circular motion without jamming, thereby ensuring the transport efficiency of the strip materials.
