[0034] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

[0035] In the description of this application, the directions or positional relationships of “conveying direction”, “upstream”, “downstream”, “top”, “bottom”, “upper” and “lower” are based on the attached Figures 1 to 3 Regarding the orientation or positional relationship shown, it should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0036] An embodiment of the present invention provides a noodle conveying device for conveying noodles during the process of manufacturing noodles, so that the noodles can be transferred between equipment that implement various manufacturing process steps, for example, the noodles that have been shaped and cut can be conveyed to a drying device for drying.

[0037] The conveying device comprises an upper rack device and a stretching device. The upper rack device is located above the stretching device, that is, the upper rack device and the stretching device are arranged with a relative spacing in the up and down directions.

[0038] The top of the noodles is connected to the upper rack device, and the bottom of the noodles is connected to the stretching device, that is, the noodles are suspended between the upper rack device and the stretching device, and the stretching device cooperates with the upper rack device to stretch the suspended noodles.

[0039] The loading device and the stretching device synchronously drive the noodles to move along the conveying direction to improve the stability of the noodles during transportation and reduce the risk of breakage due to pulling.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 4 The stretching device for noodles in the embodiment of the present invention includes a base 10, a support assembly and a conveying assembly.

[0041] The base 10 is used to bear the weight of the support assembly and the conveying assembly, and provides a relatively stable and flat working platform for the installation, fixation and operation of the support assembly and the conveying assembly.

[0042] The base 10 can be placed on the ground at a preset installation location of the conveying equipment.

[0043] The bracket assembly includes an adjustment bracket 20 and a mounting bracket 30, wherein the mounting bracket 30 is located on the top side of the base 10, and the adjustment bracket 20 is connected between the base 10 and the mounting bracket 30 so that the adjustment bracket 20 can transfer the weight of the mounting bracket 30 to the base 10 to play a supporting role.

[0044] The conveying assembly is arranged on the mounting bracket 30, and the bottom of the noodles is connected to the conveying assembly to drive the bottom of the noodles to move synchronously with the top connected to the rack device.

[0045] The adjustment bracket 20 is extended and retracted along the top-bottom direction to adjust the distance between the base 10 and the mounting bracket 30 along the top-bottom direction, thereby changing the spacing between the conveying component and the upper shelf device above in the up-down direction, thereby stretching the noodles to different lengths, so that the elongation of different noodles in different environments can meet the corresponding preset elongation requirements.

[0046] It can be understood that at least part of the conveying assembly drives the vertical distance between the bottom of the noodles and the base 10 to remain unchanged along the conveying direction, and the distance between the bottom and the top of the noodles when passing through this part is fixed, so that the elongation of the noodles remains stable for a period of time.

[0047] The stretching device in the embodiment of the present invention is connected to the bottom of the noodles. On the one hand, the distance between the bottom and top of the noodles is fixed, allowing the noodles to be stretched to a uniform length, reducing the probability of uneven noodle lengths. On the other hand, the noodles are subjected to a downward pull during movement with the conveyor assembly, which causes their length to be extended compared to the designed length. This allows the noodles to retract to meet the designed length requirements when they are removed from the stretching device for subsequent processing. This reduces the probability of the noodles being too short after retraction during subsequent processing and improves the consistency of the noodle length. By using the stretching device to directly stretch the noodles without manual labor, labor is reduced, safety is improved, and production efficiency is increased. By adjusting the bracket 20 to extend and retract along the top-bottom direction, the elongation can be adjusted according to the different rebound properties of noodles of different types, sizes, and materials under different manufacturing environments. This improves the adaptability of the stretching device to different noodles and expands the scope of application of the stretching device.

[0048] It can be understood that the noodles are always in a stretched state while they are moving synchronously with the stretching device and the racking device.

[0049] The specific method of connecting the bottom of the noodles to the conveying assembly is not limited. For example, the bottom of the noodles can be wound around the conveying assembly manually or by machine.

[0050] It is understandable that the speed at which the conveying assembly drives the bottom of the noodles to move is roughly the same as the speed at which the racking device drives the top of the noodles to move, so as to achieve smooth movement of the noodles and reduce the chance of the noodles being overstretched and breaking.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting bracket 30 is disposed on the top of the adjusting bracket 20 so that the weight of the mounting bracket 30 is directly transferred to the adjusting bracket 20 in the up and down directions, thereby reducing the probability of deformation and breakage of the adjusting bracket 20 due to eccentric torque.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 There are multiple adjusting brackets 20 so that the multiple adjusting brackets 20 can jointly bear the weight of the mounting bracket 30 and the conveying assembly. In the event that some adjusting brackets 20 are damaged, the other adjusting brackets 20 can still provide support so that the stretching device can keep running and it is convenient for personnel to inspect and replace it.

[0053] It is understandable that the arrangement of the multiple adjustment brackets 20 is not limited.

[0054] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The adjustment brackets 20 are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly so that the arrangement of the multiple adjustment brackets 20 is adapted to the moving direction of the noodles, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the elongation of the noodles during movement.

[0055] It is understandable that the noodles can be first placed in an overstretched state and then retracted to a normal stretched state, that is, the noodles can be first stretched longer than a preset stretch and then retracted to the preset stretch, so that the stretching effect of the noodles is better.

[0056] In some embodiments, part of the conveying assembly drives the vertical distance between the bottom of the noodles and the base 10 to gradually increase along the conveying direction. That is, when the bottom of the noodles moves to the position of this part of the conveying assembly, the noodles are first in an over-stretched state. As the bottom of the noodles moves along the conveying direction, the distance between the bottom and the top of the noodles decreases and gradually retracts until the elongation of the noodles retracts to a preset elongation, which is beneficial for the length of the noodles after retraction to meet the design length requirements in subsequent processes.

[0057] It is understandable that the conveying assembly extends along the direction of the mounting bracket 30 so that the movement path of the bottom of the noodles driven by the conveying assembly is substantially the same as the direction of the mounting bracket 30 .

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The mounting bracket 30 includes a first bracket 31 and a second bracket 32. Both the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​extend along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly. The second bracket 32 ​​is located upstream of the first bracket 31 along the conveying direction. One end of the second bracket 32 ​​along the conveying direction is rotatably connected to the base 10, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the first bracket 31 along the conveying direction. The adjustment bracket 20 is located between the first bracket 31 and the base 10. That is, the second bracket 32 ​​and the base 10 are tilted, and the first bracket 31 and the base 10 are spaced apart along the top and bottom directions. During the extension and retraction of the adjustment bracket 20 along the top and bottom directions, relative rotation can occur between the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​and between the second bracket 32 ​​and the base 10, so as to realize the change of the tilt angle between the second bracket 32 ​​and the base 10 and the change of the spacing between the first bracket 31 and the base 10.

[0059] A portion of the conveying assembly extends along the second bracket 32, and another portion extends along the first bracket 31, so that when the bottom of the noodles passes through the portion of the conveying assembly extending along the second bracket 32, the noodles are first in an over-stretched state, and as they move along the conveying direction, the distance between the bottom and the top of the noodles decreases and gradually retracts until the bottom of the noodles moves to the portion of the conveying assembly extending along the second bracket 32, the elongation of the noodles retracts to a preset elongation, and maintains this elongation as the conveying assembly moves until it leaves the stretching device, so that the noodles can achieve better stretching effect in a shorter conveying distance and a shorter time, thereby improving the efficiency of noodle manufacturing.

[0060] The adjustment bracket 20 can be moved relative to the first bracket 31 or the base 10 along the conveying direction, so that in the process of the adjustment bracket 20 extending and retracting along the top and bottom directions, the adjustment bracket 20 is prevented from hindering the movement of the first bracket 31 relative to the base 10 along the conveying direction, and the second bracket 32 ​​and the base 10, as well as the second bracket 32 ​​and the first bracket 31, can smoothly rotate relative to each other, so as to realize the change of the distance between the first bracket 31 and the base 10, and the distance between each position of the first bracket 31 along the conveying direction and the base 10 is equal, so that the noodles can always maintain the preset elongation when passing through the part of the conveying component set on the first bracket 31.

[0061] The specific manner in which the adjusting bracket 20 moves relative to the first bracket 31 or the base 10 along the conveying direction is not limited.

[0062] For example, see Figure 4 The adjustment bracket 20 is provided with a through-hole 22a extending along the conveying direction. A screw passes through the through-hole 22a to connect with the base 10 or the first bracket 31. When the screw is detached from the base 10 or the first bracket 31, the adjustment bracket 20 can move relative to the base 10 or the first bracket 31 along the conveying direction. After the adjustment bracket 20 is adjusted to a preset position along the top and bottom directions, the screw is passed through the through-hole 22a to fix the adjustment bracket 20 to the base 10 or the first bracket 31, so that the positions of the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​remain fixed.

[0063] There is no limitation on the specific manner of realizing the rotational connection between the second bracket 32 ​​and the base 10, such as a ball head connection, a hinge connection, etc.

[0064] There is no limitation on the specific manner of realizing the rotational connection between the first bracket 31 and the second bracket 32 ​​, such as a ball head connection, a hinge connection, etc.

[0065] In an embodiment in which a plurality of adjustment brackets 20 are provided, two adjustment brackets 20 are respectively provided at one end of the first bracket 31 along the conveying direction to improve the stability of the first bracket 31 .

[0066] There is no limitation on the manner in which the bracket 20 can be adjusted to achieve the expansion and contraction of the dimensions along the top and bottom directions.

[0067] For example, see Figures 2 to 4 The adjustment bracket 20 includes an adjustment seat 22 and a connector 21. The top of the connector 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 30, and the bottom is rotatably connected to the adjustment seat 22. The adjustment seat 22 is provided on the top of the base 10. By rotating the connector 21 relative to the adjustment seat 22, the distance between the top of the connector 21 and the top of the base 10 can be changed, thereby achieving the change in the size of the adjustment bracket 20 along the top-bottom direction.

[0068] The specific method for realizing the rotation connection between the connecting member 21 and the mounting bracket 30 is not limited. For example, see Figure 2 , a hinge is used to limit the freedom between the connecting member 21 and the mounting bracket 30, so as to facilitate the angular rotation adjustment between the two.

[0069] The specific method for realizing the rotation connection between the connecting member 21 and the adjusting seat 22 is not limited. For example, see Figure 4 , a hinge is used to limit the degree of freedom between the connecting member 21 and the adjustment seat 22, so as to facilitate the angular rotation adjustment between the two.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The adjustment seat 22 includes a mounting plate 221 and a bottom plate 222 . The mounting plate 221 extends along the top-to-bottom direction and is arranged on the top of the bottom plate 222 . The waist hole 22a is arranged on the bottom plate 222 . The mounting plate 221 is hinged to the connecting piece 21 .

[0071] The specific structure of the first bracket 31 is not limited.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first bracket 31 is an integral structure, so that the first bracket 31 can be raised or lowered as a whole along the top and bottom directions along with the adjustment bracket 20, reducing the chance of the first bracket 31 being skewed and causing the noodles to break due to changes in tensile force during transportation.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first bracket 31 includes several first sub-brackets 311, each of which extends along the conveying direction and is connected end to end. That is to say, the first bracket 31 is not an integral structure, but is formed by splicing multiple first sub-brackets 311, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing, transporting and installing the first bracket 31.

[0074] In some embodiments with the first sub-bracket 311 and the connector 21, see Figure 2The first sub-brackets 311 are rotatably connected to each other, and the rotational connection position between the connecting member 21 and the first bracket 31 is the same as the rotational connection position of the two adjacent first sub-brackets 311, so as to avoid setting an additional position on the first sub-bracket 311 for connecting with the connecting member 21, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the first sub-bracket 311.

[0075] In some embodiments with a second bracket 32 ​​and a connector 21, see Figure 2 The rotational connection position of the second bracket 32 ​​and the first bracket 31 is at the same position as the rotational connection position of the first connecting member 21 located upstream along the conveying direction and the first bracket 31. While realizing the linkage of the first bracket 31, the second bracket 32 ​​and the first adjustment bracket 20 located upstream along the conveying direction, it avoids setting an additional position on the first bracket 31 for rotational connection with the adjustment bracket 20, thereby improving the overall structural strength.

[0076] The specific manner in which the conveying assembly drives the bottom of the noodles is not limited.

[0077] For example, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 The conveying assembly includes a transmission kit 40, a driver 50 and several noodle-stretching rods 60. The noodle-stretching rods 60 are arranged on the transmission kit 40 at intervals along the conveying direction. The driver 50 is driven and connected to the transmission kit 40 so that the noodle-stretching rods 60 move along the conveying direction, and the bottom of the noodles is connected to the surface of the noodle-stretching rods 60.

[0078] It is understandable that the noodle-stretching rod 60 is made of food-grade material, such as PP (polypropylene) plastic, 316 stainless steel, etc.

[0079] The specific type of the transmission assembly 40 is not limited.

[0080] In some embodiments, the transmission kit 40 includes a chain 42 and at least two sprockets 41. The chain 42 is connected end to end and meshes with the circumferential outer sides of each sprocket 41 for transmission. The driver 50 is drivingly connected to at least one sprocket 41 to drive its rotation.

[0081] The sprocket 41 and the chain 42 are used in combination to realize the transportation of the stretched noodle rod 60, which is suitable for long-distance transportation of the stretched noodle rod 60, and further realizes the transportation of the noodles. The sprocket 41 and the chain 42 will not slip during the transmission process, thereby avoiding the possibility of relative movement between the bottom and the top of the noodles due to slipping, resulting in breakage.

[0082] The specific type of the driver 50 is not limited, such as a motor.

[0083] The specific manner of achieving the driving connection between the driver 50 and the sprocket 41 is not limited.

[0084] For example, see Figure 4 The driver 50 includes a motor, a reducer and a chain transmission assembly. The output end of the motor is driven and connected to the input section of the reducer. The output end of the reducer is driven and connected to the sprocket 41 through the chain transmission assembly to achieve the purpose of driving the sprocket 41 to rotate.

[0085] It is understandable that the driver 50 can be drivingly connected to one sprocket 41 or multiple sprockets 41 , that is, there can be one driving wheel or multiple driving wheels among the multiple sprockets 41 .

[0086] The specific arrangement of the transmission assembly 40 is not limited.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The two sprockets 41 are rotatably provided at one end of the mounting bracket 30 along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly to improve the utilization rate of the mounting bracket 30. The driver 50 is driven and connected to the sprocket 41 at the downstream end along the conveying direction of the conveying assembly, so that the sprocket 41 at the downstream end along the conveying direction is the driving wheel, and the axial direction of the sprocket 41 is perpendicular to the top and bottom directions, so that the part of the entire chain 42 located at the top of the sprocket 41 is the active edge of the chain 42, so that when the noodle stretching rod 60 moves on the active edge of the chain 42, its movement process is smooth, reducing the probability of the noodle stretching rod 60 shaking and causing the noodles to break or have uneven lengths; at the same time, it is convenient for the bottom of the noodles to be connected to the noodle stretching rod 60.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 There are two support assemblies and two transmission kits 40, and they are configured in a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one transmission kit 40 is provided on one support assembly, and the other transmission kit 40 is provided on the other support assembly. At least one sprocket 41 of one transmission kit 40 is coaxially arranged with at least one sprocket 41 of the other transmission kit 40, that is, the sprocket 41 of one transmission kit 40 can drive the sprocket 41 of the other transmission kit 40 to rotate, thereby achieving the synchronous movement of the chains 42 on the two transmission kits 40. The two support assemblies are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the conveying direction, and the two ends of the noodle stretching rod 60 are respectively located on a chain 42, which is conducive to the noodle stretching rod 60 maintaining balance during the process of moving with the chain 42, thereby keeping the length of the noodles stable and reducing the probability of breakage.

[0089] The two transmission kits 40 are coaxially connected through a coupling rod 70 to achieve a coaxial setting to achieve synchronous rotation and transmit torque. At the same time, the two transmission kits 40 can be configured with a driver 50, which drives the sprocket 41 of one of the transmission kits 40 to rotate, thereby reducing costs.

[0090] It can be understood that the two coaxially connected sprockets 41 are driving wheels in their respective transmission kits 40 .

[0091] It can be understood that at least part of the multiple noodle-stretching rods 60 are arranged at the top of the active side of the chain 42, and the chain 42 provides support for the noodle-stretching rods 60 along the top and bottom directions, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the noodle-stretching rods 60 during movement.

[0092] It is understandable that after the noodle stretching rod 60 is connected to the bottom of the noodles, it will be subjected to an upward pulling force exerted by the noodles while stretching the noodles. Therefore, a constraint structure needs to be set to prevent the noodle stretching rod 60 from being separated from the chain 42, resulting in the inability to stretch the noodles.

[0093] For example, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The chain 42 is provided with a plurality of baffles 421, which are arranged at intervals along the transmission direction of the chain 42 and are located on the side of the chain 42 away from the sprocket 41. The baffle 421 is provided with a mounting hole 421a, and the noodle-stretching rod 60 is inserted into the mounting hole 421a. In the projection along the top and bottom directions, the baffle 421 at least partially overlaps with the noodle-stretching rod 60, so that when the noodle-stretching rod 60 is subjected to the pulling force of the noodles and has a tendency to move upward, it can abut against the inner wall of the mounting hole 421a, thereby limiting the tendency of the noodle-stretching rod 60 to move upward, so that the noodle-stretching rod 60 can continue to move with the chain 42, reducing the probability of the noodle-stretching rod 60 being separated from the chain 42 due to the pulling force of the noodles.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 A baffle 421 is provided on each link of the chain 42. On the one hand, it can increase the number of noodle-stretching rods 60 that can be set on the chain 42 and improve the working efficiency of the stretching device; on the other hand, it improves the versatility of the chain links and improves the convenience of assembling, repairing and replacing the chain links.

[0095] The specific type of the mounting hole 421a is not limited. For example, see Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 The mounting hole 421a is a through hole perpendicular to the conveying direction so that the noodle-stretching rod 60 can be inserted into the mounting hole 421a.

[0096] It is understandable that after the noodle stretching rod 60 at the bottom of the noodles moves to the downstream end of the conveying assembly along the conveying direction, it needs to be easily separated from the stretching device.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 The mounting hole 421a is opened on one side along the conveying direction to form a disengagement opening 421b, and the disengagement opening 421b of the baffle 421 on the active side of the chain 42 faces upstream in the conveying direction. When the baffle 421 on the active side of the chain 42 moves to the position of the sprocket 41 at the end downstream in the conveying direction, the chain links of the chain 42 rotate with the rotation of the sprocket 41, causing the disengagement opening 421b of the baffle 421 to rotate upward, so that the noodle-stretching rod 60 can pass through the disengagement opening 421b and disengage from the mounting hole 421a, thereby preventing the noodle-stretching rod 60 from moving to the driven side of the chain 42 and causing the noodles to break or become entangled.

[0098] It can be understood that after the noodle rod 60 is detached from the chain 42, the noodle rod 60 can be separated from the noodles manually or by machine and the noodle rod 60 can be recovered. Then, the recovered noodle rod 60 can be reinserted into the mounting hole 421a of the baffle 421 on the active side of the chain 42 at the position of the first end sprocket 41 upstream in the conveying direction to achieve the recycling and reuse of the noodle rod 60.

[0099] It is understandable that an auxiliary structure needs to be provided to suppress the vibration of the chain 42 so that the noodle-stretching rod 60 moves smoothly.

[0100] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The transmission kit 40 includes several tensioning wheels 43, some of which are located on the top side of the driven side of the chain 42 and meshed with the chain 42, and the other part of the tensioning wheels 43 are located on the bottom side of the driven side of the chain 42 and meshed with the chain 42, so that the top and bottom sides of the driven side of the chain 42 are both subjected to the force exerted by the tensioning wheels 43, which supports the driven side of the chain 42 and can effectively suppress the occurrence of poor meshing between the sprocket 41 and the chain 42, reduce the probability of vibration of the chain 42, and improve the stability of the chain 42 during movement.

[0101] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The transmission kit 40 includes several support members 44, which are arranged on the mounting bracket 30. The top side of the support member 44 is provided with a supporting groove extending along the conveying direction. The top side of the supporting groove is open, and the active edge of the chain 42 is passed through the supporting groove. On the one hand, the support member 44 can support the active edge of the chain 42 to reduce the adverse effect of the chain 42 hanging downward on the stretching of the noodles, thereby improving the stability of the noodle stretching rod 60 during the movement. On the other hand, the inner wall of the supporting groove plays a certain protective role on the chain 42.

[0102] The specific structure of the base 10 is not limited.

[0103] For example, see Figure 8 The base 10 includes two mounting ribs 11 and several connecting ribs 12. The two mounting ribs 11 extend along the conveying direction and are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The adjusting bracket 20 is arranged on the top of the mounting ribs 11, that is, the mounting ribs 11 bear the weight of the bracket assembly and the conveying assembly. The connecting ribs 12 are connected between the two mounting ribs 11 to stabilize the gap between the two mounting ribs 11 and improve the overall structural strength of the base 10.

[0104] In some embodiments, the installation ribs 11 and the connection ribs 12 are both integral structures to improve structural strength.

[0105] It is understandable that the installation ribs 11 and the connection ribs 12 can be made of standard profiles, and the standard profiles used are not limited, such as channel steels.

[0106] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a conveying device, which includes a racking device and the stretching device in any of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0107] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0108] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
