Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a two-way translation cold drink machine mould automatic turning mechanism, belonging to the technical field of cold drink machines. Background Art

[0002] In the existing two-way translation cold drink machines, mold cleaning is a relatively labor-intensive but time-consuming procedure. One of the original cleaning modes is a purely manual method, which involves removing all molds from the production line, soaking, brushing, and then filtering with clean water, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Another method is to use a filling station to fill clean water into the mold, and then the slurry suction station sucks the water out of the mold to achieve the cleaning effect, but this type of cleaning is prone to incomplete cleaning, including some residual small particles. The principle of this automatic cleaning station is completely different from any previous concept of cleaning molds. It can clean and disinfect while producing, or it can be cleaned after production is completed. The working time is set and no manual intervention is required. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a device for conveniently flipping the mold of a two-way translation cold drink machine. The solution proposed by the present invention is: a two-way translation cold drink machine mold automatic flipping mechanism is arranged on the frame of the cold drink machine, the frame is provided with a translation frame, and a plurality of groups of side-by-side molds are installed on the translation frame. The mechanism includes a lifting component, a pressing component and a flipping component; the lifting component and the pressing component are arranged on both sides of the translation frame, and the flipping component is arranged on one side of the translation frame;

[0004] The lifting component includes a hydraulic rod, a telescopic support rod and a fixed plate, wherein the hydraulic rod is fixed to the end of the fixed plate, the telescopic support rod is fixed to the middle end of the fixed plate, a rotating shaft is passed through the front end of the fixed plate, and a bearing for connecting and matching the fixed plate and the rotating shaft is provided on the rotating shaft;

[0005] The clamping component includes a rotating frame and a clamping cylinder fixed on the upper and lower sides of the rotating frame, the clamping cylinder is used to clamp and release the rotating frame up and down, the rotating frame is placed on the fixed plate, the rotating shaft passes through the rotating frame and is fixed to the rotating frame, and the outermost end of the rotating shaft passing through the fixed plate and the rotating frame is provided with a flip gear;

[0006] The frame is provided with a platform whose height is lower than that of the translation frame, and the flipping component is arranged on the platform. The flipping component includes a motor, an output gear of the motor, and a rack meshed with the output gear; when the fixed plate descends, the rack meshes with the flipping gear; when the fixed plate rises, the rack is separated from the flipping gear.

[0007] A further improvement of the above scheme is that: when the mold needs to be cleaned, the hydraulic rod drives the fixed plate to descend, and the descending is stopped when the flip gear is engaged with the rack, and the motor rotates to drive the output gear, the rack, the flip gear and the rotating shaft to rotate in sequence, and the rotating shaft drives the rotating frame to flip;

[0008] When the mold does not need to be cleaned, the hydraulic rod lifts the fixed plate to make the fixed plate parallel to the mold on the translation frame, and the mold moves smoothly along the translation frame.

[0009] A further improvement of the above solution is that the hydraulic rod and the telescopic support rod move vertically up and down.

[0010] A further improvement of the above solution is that the output gear rotates to drive the rack to move horizontally.

[0011] A further improvement of the above solution is that a buffer pad is provided on the same plane as the platform, the buffer pad is directly opposite to the turned rotating frame, and the turning of the rotating frame is buffered by the buffer pad.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention realizes the turning of the mold and saves a lot of space through the linkage between the hydraulic rod, the rotating frame, the output gear and the rack; the present invention is automated, reduces manual intervention, and is more convenient.

[0019] Through the description of the embodiments, the specific implementation methods of the present invention, such as the relative positions and connection relationships between the various parts involved, the functions and working principles of the various parts, and the operation and use methods, are further explained in detail to help those skilled in the art to have a more complete, accurate and in-depth understanding of the concept and technical solution of the present invention. Example

[0020] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a bidirectional translation cold drink machine mold automatic flipping mechanism is arranged on a frame 1 of the cold drink machine, a translation frame 2 is arranged on the frame 1, and a plurality of groups of side-by-side molds 3 are installed on the translation frame 2. The mechanism includes a lifting component, a pressing component and a flipping component; the lifting component and the pressing component are arranged on both sides of the translation frame 2, and the flipping component is arranged on one side of the translation frame 2.

[0021] The lifting components include a hydraulic rod 4, a telescopic support rod 5 and a fixed plate 6. The hydraulic rod 4 is fixed at the end of the fixed plate 6, the telescopic support rod 5 is fixed at the middle end of the fixed plate 6, a rotating shaft 7 is passed through the front end of the fixed plate 6, and a bearing 8 for connecting and matching the fixed plate 6 and the rotating shaft 7 is provided on the rotating shaft 7.

[0022] The clamping component includes a rotating frame and a clamping cylinder 9 fixed on the upper and lower sides of the rotating frame. The clamping cylinder 9 is used to clamp and release the rotating frame up and down. The rotating frame is placed on a fixed plate 6. The rotating shaft 7 passes through the rotating frame and is fixed to the rotating frame. The outermost end of the rotating shaft 7 that passes through the fixed plate 6 and the rotating frame is provided with a flip gear 10.

[0023] The frame 1 is provided with a platform 11 whose height is lower than the translation frame 2. The flipping component is arranged on the platform 11. The flipping component includes a motor 12, an output gear 13 of the motor 12, and a rack 14 meshed with the output gear 13. When the fixed plate 6 descends, the rack 14 meshes with the flipping gear 10. When the fixed plate 6 rises, the rack 14 separates from the flipping gear 10. The hydraulic rod 4 and the telescopic support rod 5 move vertically up and down. The output gear 13 rotates to drive the rack 14 to move horizontally. A buffer pad is provided on the same plane as the platform 11. The buffer pad is directly opposite to the rotating frame after flipping, and the rotating frame is flipped by the buffer pad.

[0024] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, when the mold does not need to be cleaned, the hydraulic rod 4 lifts the fixed plate 6 so that the fixed plate 6 is parallel to the mold on the translation frame 2, and the mold moves smoothly between the fixed plate and the translation frame 2.

[0025] like Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, when the mold needs to be cleaned, the translation frame 2 and the mold on the translation frame 2 are operated to move a single mold to the rotating frame of the fixed plate. The clamping cylinder 9 clamps the mold up and down to clamp the mold and the rotating frame together.

[0026] Then the hydraulic rod 4 starts to work, and the hydraulic rod 4 drives the fixed plate to descend. The telescopic support rod 5 is an elastic rod, which shrinks under the drive of the hydraulic rod 4. The main function of the telescopic support rod 5 is to keep the balance of the fixed plate when the hydraulic rod 4 drives the fixed plate to descend.

[0027] At this time, since the rotating frame is connected to the rotating shaft 7, and the rotating shaft 7 is connected to the fixed plate through the bearing 8 on the fixed plate, the rotating frame and the mold on the rotating frame descend together with the fixed plate.

[0028] When the fixed plate descends to the point where the flip gear 10 of the rotating shaft 7 meshes with the rack 14, the hydraulic rod 4 stops working, and then the motor 12 starts working.

[0029] The motor 12 rotates clockwise and drives the output gear 13 to rotate clockwise. The output gear 13 drives the rack 14 meshed with the output gear 13, so that the rack 14 moves horizontally away from the motor 12. Because the rack 14 moves horizontally away from the motor 12 and the flipping gear 10 is already meshed with the rack 14 at this time, the flipping gear 10 also rotates clockwise under the drive of the rack 14, so the rotating shaft 7 and the rotating frame fixed with the rotating shaft 7 and the mold on the rotating frame will also rotate clockwise until the rotating frame and the mold on the rotating frame rotate 180° clockwise, the mold is flipped 180°, and the motor 12 stops working. The mold flipping is also buffered by the buffer pad to prevent mechanical damage.

[0030] There is a spray mechanism below the platform 11, which consists of a water pump and an upward nozzle, and automatically rinses the turned-over mold, and the water after rinsing will not be left in the mold. After the cleaning is completed, the spray mechanism stops working.

[0031] The motor 12 rotates counterclockwise, driving the output gear 13 to rotate counterclockwise, and the output gear 13 drives the rack 14 meshed with the output gear 13, so that the rack 14 is horizontally close to the motor 12. Because the rack 14 is horizontally close to the motor 12 and the flip gear 10 is already meshed with the rack 14 at this time, the flip gear 10 also rotates counterclockwise driven by the rack 14, so the shaft 7 and the rotating frame fixed with the shaft 7 and the mold on the rotating frame will also rotate counterclockwise until the rotating frame and the mold on the rotating frame rotate 180° counterclockwise and the rotating frame returns to the fixed plate. Then the motor 12 works. The hydraulic cylinder lifts the fixed plate until the fixed plate is parallel to the translation frame 2, and the mold on the rotating frame is parallel to the mold on the translation frame 2, and the hydraulic cylinder stops working.

[0032] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
