Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a discharging mechanism for food materials, in particular to a discharging mechanism for strip materials. Background Art

[0002] In the food industry, materials usually have to go through several conveyors before they are arranged. The arranged materials are pushed by the push claws and sent to the packaging container. Generally speaking, when the materials are arranged and conveyed, they are stacked on the conveyor belt, which is divided into multiple sections. The materials are separated and arranged by the different conveying speeds of each section of the conveyor belt, and then pushed into the packaging container by a push claw perpendicular to the conveyor belt. The disadvantage of this feeding mechanism is that the conveyor belt needs to be installed for a long time, so that the whole equipment takes up a lot of space. In addition, the materials transported by this conveyor belt, especially for round and long materials, are easy to roll on the conveyor belt. Even if they can be separated, they will change their position, which is not conducive to the pushing of the push claws. What is more inadequate is that when the conveyor belt separates the materials and uses the push difference to push, the conveyor belt also stops working, otherwise it will hinder the pushing of the materials, so its production efficiency is greatly reduced. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a material discharge mechanism that can realize continuous feeding without stopping the machine.

[0004] To this end, the present invention is implemented through the following technical scheme: a material discharging mechanism, including a frame, a driving sprocket, a passive sprocket and a tensioning sprocket, a chain is wound around the driving sprocket, the passive sprocket and the tensioning sprocket, and is characterized in that the driving sprocket is installed on the frame, and a reciprocating sliding plate is arranged on the frame, a U-shaped material placing plate is arranged on the outer side of the chain, and push plates arranged at equal distances are installed on the chain, and the push plates are placed above the material placing plate, and the tensioning sprocket is reciprocatingly arranged on the sliding plate.

[0005] The frame is provided with a first slide rail, the sliding plate is installed on the first guide rail through a first slider, and a motor is provided on the frame, a screw rod is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and the sliding plate is screwed to the screw rod.

[0006] The sliding plate is provided with a second sliding rail, the tensioning sprocket is installed on the second sliding rail through a second sliding block, and a cylinder is provided on the sliding plate, and a push rod of the cylinder is connected to the second sliding block.

[0007] A material blocking plate is installed on the curved section of the U-shaped material placing plate.

[0008] A bracket is installed on the sliding plate, and the material placing plate is installed on the bracket.

[0009] The driving sprocket, the driven sprocket and the tensioning sprocket are arranged in a triangle, wherein the driving sprocket is arranged at the feeding position.

[0010] With the structure of the present invention, the material can quickly enter the gap between two adjacent pusher plates. With the transmission of the chain, the gap between the two adjacent pusher plates moves one position, and the material follows at any time. In this cycle, with the movement of the pusher plates, the material is transferred from one side of the U-shaped material placement plate to the other side, and finally pushed out by the pusher claws. When the pusher claws push out the material, the pusher plate on the other side is relatively different, and the pusher plate on the feed side maintains a continuous feeding arrangement under the reciprocating movement of the sliding plate, thereby realizing continuous feeding and discharging without stopping the machine, greatly improving production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] The present invention has the following accompanying drawings:

[0012] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present invention;

[0013] Figure 2 For the present invention Figure 1 Another structural diagram from another perspective;

[0014] Figure 3 For the present invention Figure 1 Another structural diagram of the perspective. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the material discharging mechanism includes a frame 1, a driving sprocket 2, a passive sprocket 3 and a tensioning sprocket 4, and a chain 5 is wound around the driving sprocket 2, the passive sprocket 3 and the tensioning sprocket 4, wherein the driving sprocket 2 is connected to the main motor through a synchronous belt, the driving sprocket 2 is installed on the frame 1, and its position remains unchanged, and a reciprocating sliding plate 11 is provided on the frame 1, specifically, a first slide rail 9 is provided on the frame 1, and the sliding plate 11 is installed on the first slide rail 9 through a first slider 10, and a motor 12 is provided on the frame 1, and a screw 13 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 12, and the sliding plate 11 is screwed to the screw 13, and as the motor 12 rotates in the positive and negative directions, the sliding plate 11 reciprocates on the first slide rail 9. A second slide rail 14 is provided on the sliding plate 11, and the tensioning sprocket 4 can also be reciprocatingly arranged on the sliding plate 11. Specifically, a second slide rail 14 is provided on the sliding plate 11, and the tensioning sprocket 4 is installed on the second slide rail 14 through a second slider 15, and a cylinder 16 is provided on the sliding plate 11, and the push rod of the cylinder 16 is connected to the second slider 14. The setting of the cylinder 16 has two functions. The first is to support the second slider 14 to tension the chain. After long-term use, the chain 5 becomes loose, and the cylinder 16 pushes the second slider 15 a short distance, which can be adjusted at any time to keep the chain 5 in a tensioned state forever. The second function can be known as follows.

[0016] A U-shaped material placing plate 7 is arranged on the outer side of the chain 5, and a push plate 6 is installed on the chain 5 at an equal distance, and the push plate 6 is placed above the material placing plate 7. Every two adjacent push plates 6 and the material placing plate 7 form a small grid, and a feeder (not shown in the figure) is installed on one side of the driving sprocket 2. When the driving sprocket 2 moves and drives the chain 5 through the driving sprocket 2, two adjacent push plates 6 on the chain 5 will open a bell mouth 18, and the feeder will quickly feed the material into the bell mouth 18. As the chain 5 continues to drive, the feeder successively transports the material into the bell mouth 18, so that the material is evenly arranged on one side of the U-shaped material placing plate 7, and then as the chain 5 drives, the material is transferred to the other side of the U-shaped material placing plate 7. It can be seen that the chain 5 in this embodiment rotates clockwise. When the push claw (not shown in the figure) needs to push the material on the other side, due to the transmission of the chain 5, the push claw will interfere with the push plate 6. At this time, the motor 12 works to drive the screw 13 to rotate, so that the sliding plate 11 moves to the left. At the same time, in order to avoid the stretching of the chain 5, the cylinder 16 will shrink a distance to cooperate. Therefore, the push plate 6 at the discharge section on the other side of the U-shaped placing plate 7 is relatively still, and the push plate 6 on one side of the U-shaped placing plate 7, that is, the push plate 6 on the feeding side, is in a normal transmission state with the chain 5, so that the feeder can smoothly feed the material into the bell mouth 18. After the push claw pushes the material out, the motor 12 rotates in the opposite direction, the cylinder 16 returns, and the chain 5 is normally transmitted again. The driving sprocket 2, the driven sprocket 3 and the tensioning sprocket 4 are arranged in a triangular manner, wherein the driving sprocket 2 is arranged at the feeding position, so that the driving sprocket 2 and the chain 5 on the tensioning sprocket 4 form an inclined plane, so that when the push plate 6 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 2, the two adjacent push plates 6 are easy to open into a bell mouth 18, which is convenient for feeding. In this embodiment, the stroke amplitude of the cylinder 16 is very small. During the movement of the sliding plate 11 to the left, the cylinder 16 slightly returns to its original position, so that the length of the chain 5 wound between the tensioning sprocket 4 and the driving sprocket 2 changes slightly, that is, the angle between the chain 5 and the straight edge of the U-shaped loading plate 7 changes. To ensure that the circumference of the chain remains unchanged, when the push plate 6 of the discharge section on the other side of the U-shaped loading plate 7 remains relatively still, the chain length on the other side is compensated.

[0017] A baffle plate 8 is installed on the curved section of the U-shaped material placing plate 7 to prevent the material from being thrown out. A bracket 17 is installed on the sliding plate 11, and the material placing plate 7 is installed on the bracket 17. This structure makes the installation of the material placing plate 7 more convenient and simple.

[0018] In this implementation, the descriptions about directionality are all with reference to the drawing direction.

[0019] The structure of the present invention can continuously convey rod-shaped materials without affecting the pushing work of the materials. Therefore, the production efficiency is greatly improved. It is applied to the food production industry and has obvious technical effects.
