Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waterjet cutting machine technology, specifically relating to a waterjet cutting machine for baking food and its control method. Background Technology

[0002] Advances in technology have improved people's lives, leading to higher demands for food. Baked goods are among the most popular foods, including bread, toast, mooncakes, and pastries. The production process involves kneading, shaping, fermentation, and baking. During baking, the dough needs to expand in the oven. If the surface of the dough dries out, it won't expand properly. Therefore, a cut is made on the surface of the dough before baking to reduce the resistance to expansion in the oven, allowing the dough to expand fully and improving the taste of the baked goods. However, baked goods have a short shelf life, requiring rapid production to meet demand. Currently, most production relies on manually cutting the surface of the dough, which significantly impacts efficiency. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a water-jet cutting machine and control method for baking food, including a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a water-jet cutting blade 3 fixedly mounted on the frame 1 above the conveyor belt 2, a water collection basin 4 fixedly mounted below the conveyor belt 2, a two-axis moving device 5 fixedly mounted above the frame 1, the two-axis moving device 5 being fixedly connected to a moving platform 7 via a pull rod 6, the moving platform 7 having fixing holes 8, two slide rails 9 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, the slide rails 9 being movably connected to a water basin 10, a laser sensor 11 fixedly mounted in the middle section of the conveyor belt 2, and a blocking device 12 and an object detection device 13 fixedly mounted at the end of the conveyor belt 2. The moving platform 7 has four rows of fixing holes 8, with five holes in each row, and the water-jet cutting blade 3 is fixedly mounted in the fixing holes 8. The water basin 10 has a rectangular cutout 101 and a water trough 14, and is located directly below the moving platform 7. The bottom of the water basin 10 has a drain hole 15, and a handle 16 is fixedly mounted on the side of the water basin 10. The blocking device 12 includes a cylinder 17, a connecting rod 18, and a buffer block 19. The cylinder 17 drives the connecting rod 18, which is fixedly equipped with two baffles 20. The buffer block 19 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 2. A locking block 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 18, and the end of the locking block 21 presses against the buffer block 19. Baffles 22 are also fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 2, and through holes 23 are provided on the baffles 22 on the side of the laser sensor 11. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water collection basin 4, and a pipe connector 25 is movably connected to the drain outlet.

[0036] A control method for a waterjet cutting machine for baking food and a control method thereof includes:

[0037] S1: The water cutting blade 3 is started, and the two-axis moving device 5 moves the water cutting blade 3 to the water tank 14 of the water basin 10.

[0038] S2: Conveyor belt 2 starts and continuously transports the trayed baked goods past the water-cutting blade 3;

[0039] S3: Laser sensor 11 detects that a tray of baked goods has passed by. The controller obtains the speed of conveyor belt 2 and the length of the tray used to hold the baked goods. Based on the length divided by the speed, the controller calculates the time required for the tray to move from the beginning to completely under the water-cutting blade 3. The controller starts and waits for the time.

[0040] S4: The controller completes the waiting time of S3, the two-axis moving device 5 starts and controls the water cutting blade 3 to cut the baked food on the tray;

[0041] S5: The two-axis moving device 5 moves the water cutting blade 3 to above the water tank 14 of the water basin 10, and the Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 is reset.

[0042] S6: Conveyor belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the exit. Object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the exit. Blocking device 12 retracts baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the exit.

[0043] S4 also includes: the controller obtains the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2, the Y-axis moving speed of the two-axis moving device 5 is equal to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2 at this time, and the X-axis moving water cutting knife 3 of the two-axis moving device 5 completes the cutting and plating of baked goods.

[0044] Through the above technical solution, the conveyor belt 2 of the present invention quickly conveys the baked food to be cut to the area below the water-cutting blade 3. The laser sensor 11 detects whether the baked food has passed under the water-cutting blade 3. In conjunction with the Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5, the moving speed of the water-cutting blade 3 on the X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 is equal to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2 at this time. The X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 is activated, moving the water-cutting blade 3 to cut the baked food, thus completing the surface cutting of the baked food. The present invention does not require stopping the conveyor belt 2 during the cutting process of the water-cutting blade 3. The Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 keeps the water-cutting blade 3 and the conveyor belt 2 relatively stationary. The X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 is activated to drive the water-cutting blade 3 to cut the baked food, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] like Figures 1-10As shown, the frame 1 of this invention is fixedly mounted with a conveyor belt 2 for conveying baked goods. The running speed of the conveyor belt 2 is fed back to the controller in real time. A water-cutting blade 3 is fixedly mounted above the frame 1 for cutting baked goods. A water collection basin 4 is fixedly mounted below the conveyor belt 2 to collect the water sprayed by the water-cutting blade 3 when cutting baked goods, preventing water from flowing into the workshop. A two-axis moving device 5 is fixedly mounted above the frame 1 for moving the water-cutting blade 3 so that it can cut baked goods. The two-axis moving device 5 is fixedly connected to a moving table 7 via a tie rod 6. The moving table 7 has fixing holes 8 for mounting the water-cutting blade 3. Multiple fixing holes 8 can be opened on the moving table 7 as needed to facilitate the installation of multiple water-cutting blades 3, enabling this invention to cut multiple baked goods simultaneously and improving production efficiency. Two slide rails 9 are fixedly installed on the frame 1. The function of the slide rails 9 is to facilitate the installation and removal of the water basin 10. When different water-cutting blades 3 are set on the moving table 7, different water basins need to be used. The water basins are movably connected by the slide rails 9, which facilitates the replacement of the water basin 10 and improves production efficiency. A laser sensor 11 is fixedly installed in the middle section of the conveyor belt 2 to detect whether a basin containing baked goods is passing by and to trigger the two-axis moving device 5 to cut the baked goods. A blocking device 12 and an object detection device 13 are fixedly installed at the end of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the outlet. When the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the outlet. The blocking device 12 and the object detection device 13 ensure that the present invention and the lower-level machine can cooperate with each other, reduce the fault tolerance between devices, and improve the cooperation between different devices. The cut baked goods are transported to the outlet by the conveyor belt 2. The object detection device 13 installed on the conveyor belt 2 will detect whether there are any products at the outlet that have not been taken away by the lower-level machine. The blocking device 12 enables the present invention to cooperate with the lower-level machine to successfully complete the production operation. When the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the outlet. When the object detection device 13 detects baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 extends the baffle 20. At this time, the controller waits for the waterjet cutter 3 to complete the cutting operation. Once the waterjet cutter 3 has completed the cutting operation, the controller directly stops the conveyor belt 2 and monitors the object detection device 13 in real time. When it detects that the baked goods at the outlet have been removed, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, the conveyor belt 2 starts, and the cut baked goods are transported to the outlet. Through the control method described above, waterjet cutting of baked goods can be achieved, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cutting process.

[0047] This waterjet cutting machine for baking products features a simple yet efficient design. The conveyor belt 2, fixedly mounted on the frame 1, automatically transports the baked goods by placing them on it during cutting. Simultaneously, the waterjet cutting blades 3 above the frame 1, controlled by the movement of the moving table 7 and the two-axis moving device 5, precisely cut the baked goods on the conveyor belt 2 with precise position and speed control. Furthermore, the two-axis moving device 5 above the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the moving table 7 via a tie rod 6. The waterjet cutting blades 3 are mounted and fixed through the fixing holes 8 on the moving table 7, allowing adjustment of the number and arrangement of the blades as needed. In summary, this waterjet cutting machine for baking products can quickly and accurately cut baked goods, improving production efficiency and product quality. Moreover, it boasts a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0048] The mobile platform 7 of this invention is designed with four rows of fixing holes 8, with five fixing holes 8 in each row. These fixing holes 8 are used to fix the waterjet cutting blades 3. Installing multiple waterjet cutting blades 3 on the mobile platform 7 can significantly improve production efficiency. Specifically, to improve production efficiency, the baked goods placed on the conveyor belt 2 are a whole tray containing multiple baked goods. The conveyor belt 2 transports the baked goods quickly, and the time spent passing through the working range of the waterjet cutting blades 3 is very short. Therefore, the waterjet cutting blades 3 need to quickly complete the cutting of the baked goods. By installing multiple waterjet cutting blades 3, the mobile platform 7 only needs to operate once to complete the cutting task of the baked goods, reducing excessive repetitive movements of the equipment, improving production efficiency, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0049] The water tray 10 of this invention is located directly below the moving platform 7 and is used to cooperate with the waterjet cutting blade 3 on the moving platform 7. Specifically, to improve production efficiency and the stability of the waterjet cutting blade 3 during operation, the waterjet cutting blade 3 runs continuously after starting. To ensure the controllability of the waterjet cutting blade 3, a water tray 10 is set directly below the moving platform 7. The water tray 10 has a rectangular cutout 101, which allows the waterjet cutting blade 3 to cut the baked goods on the conveyor belt 2. Furthermore, to improve the continuous operation and controllability of the waterjet cutting blade 3, a water trough 14 is provided in the rectangular cutout 101 of the water tray 10. The water trough 14 is connected to the body of the water tray 10, and its width is sufficient to block and collect the water jet sprayed by the waterjet cutting blade 3 during operation. The water tray 10 ensures that the waterjet cutting blade 3 operates continuously and with controllability. The controllable principle is that when the machine is turned on, the water cutting blade 3 is suspended above the water tank 14. The water tank 14 can block and collect the water jet sprayed by the water cutting blade 3 during operation. When cutting baked goods, the moving table 7 drives the water cutting blade 3 to move, so that the water cutting blade 3 is away from directly above the water tank 14. The water cutting blade 3 sprays high-speed water jets through the rectangular cutout 101 of the water basin 10 and cuts the baked goods below. Since the two sides of the water basin 10 are equivalent to a water tank 14, plus the water tank 14 in the rectangular cutout 101 area, the total number is one more than the total number of rows of water cutting blades 3. Therefore, when the cutting stroke of the water cutting blade 3 is completed, the water cutting blade 3 is exactly above the water tank 14. This can reduce the need for the invention to repeatedly return to the position of the water tank 14 after completing the cutting task, and improve the operating efficiency of the equipment.

[0050] The blocking device 12 of this invention includes a cylinder 17, a connecting rod 18, and a buffer block 19. The cylinder 17 drives the connecting rod 18, and the cylinder 17 can drive the connecting rod 18 to rotate through the cam structure. The extension and retraction of the cylinder 17 can enable the connecting rod 18 to rotate in different directions. Two baffles 20 are fixedly installed on the connecting rod 18. The baffles 20 are used to block the bowls used to hold baked goods on the conveyor belt 2. Specifically, when the conveyor belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the outlet, if the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffles 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the outlet. This step ensures that this invention and the lower-level machine can cooperate with each other, reduce the fault tolerance between devices, and improve the cooperation between different devices. When the conveyor belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the outlet, the object detection device 13 installed on the conveyor belt 2 will detect whether there are any products at the outlet that have not been taken away by the lower-level machine. Through the blocking device 12, this invention cooperates with the lower-level machine to successfully complete the production operation. When the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the outlet. When the object detection device 13 detects baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 extends the baffle 20. At this time, the controller waits for the water cutter 3 to complete the cutting operation. Once the water cutter 3 has completed the cutting operation, the controller directly stops the conveyor belt 2 and monitors the object detection device 13 in real time. When it detects that the baked goods at the outlet have been removed, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, the conveyor belt 2 starts, and the cut baked goods are transported to the outlet. Through the control method described above, water cutting of baked goods can be achieved, and the stability and accuracy of the cutting process can be ensured. The buffer block 19 is fixedly installed on the conveyor belt 2, and a locking block 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 18. The end of the locking block 21 presses against the buffer block 19. This is designed to prevent the cylinder 17 from extending too much, which would cause the equipment to run unstably. By setting the locking block 21, when the cylinder 17 extends too much, the end of the locking block 21 presses against the buffer block 19, causing the connecting rod 18 to stop rotating and stopping the cylinder 17 from extending further, thereby improving the stability of the equipment operation.

[0051] The conveyor belt 2 of the present invention is also fixedly installed with baffles 22 on both sides. The baffles 22 are used to restrict the plates used to hold baked goods on the conveyor belt 2, so that the plates are stably transported on the conveyor belt 2 and the orientation and position of the plates are consistent when they move under the water cutter 3. This allows the present invention to accurately execute the command to cut baked goods. The specific distance between the baffles 22 can be adjusted according to the width of the plate. The baffles 22 are provided with through holes 23 on one side of the laser sensor 11. The laser sensor 11 includes a transmitter and a receiver, which are respectively installed on both sides of the conveyor belt 2. The through holes 23 on the baffles 22 can transmit information between the transmitter and receiver of the laser sensor 11. When the plate on the conveyor belt 2 passes the position, it will block the signal transmission between the transmitter and receiver of the laser sensor 11, thereby triggering the two-axis moving device 5 of the present invention to start and drive the water cutter 3 to cut the baked goods.

[0052] The water collection basin 4 of the present invention has a drain outlet at the bottom. The water collection basin 4 is used to collect the water sprayed by the water cutting knife 3 when cutting baked food, and to prevent water from flowing into the workshop. The drain outlet is movably connected to a pipe connector 25. The movable connection provides convenience for cleaning the water collection basin 4.

[0053] Example 3:

[0054] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the control method of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 1: The waterjet cutter 3 is started. The two-axis moving device 5 moves the waterjet cutter 3 above the water tank 14 of the water basin 10. In order to improve production efficiency and ensure the stability of the waterjet cutter 3, the waterjet cutter 3 runs continuously after it starts running. Therefore, in order to ensure that the continuously running waterjet cutter 3 does not affect the baked goods on the conveyor belt 2, a water basin 10 is installed below the waterjet cutter 3. The water basin 10 has a hollow in the middle, which allows the waterjet cutter 3 to cut the baked goods. The water tank 14 set in the hollow can block the waterjet cutter 3 and guide the water sprayed by the waterjet cutter 3 away. After the waterjet cutter 3 finishes cutting the baked goods or when it is in standby mode, the waterjet cutter 3 moves above the water tank 14 and waits for the cutting command.

[0056] Step Two: Conveyor belt 2 starts and continuously transports the trayed baked goods under the waterjet cutter 3. This step is mainly to feed the baked goods to be cut under the waterjet cutter 3 via conveyor belt 2 for cutting. Specifically, to improve production efficiency, the conveyor belt 2 does not stop during cutting. Through the Y-axis movement of the two-axis moving device 5, the waterjet cutter 3 and the conveyor belt 2 are kept relatively stationary. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the X-axis movement of the two-axis moving device 5, the waterjet cutter 3 cuts the baked goods, creating a straight cut. Therefore, conveyor belt 2 can continuously transport the trayed baked goods under the waterjet cutter 3, quickly completing the cutting and improving production efficiency.

[0057] Step 3: Laser sensor 11 detects the passing of a tray of baked goods, and the controller acquires the speed of conveyor belt 2 and the length of the tray used to hold the baked goods. In this step, laser sensor 11 detects whether a tray of baked goods has passed by. The length of the tray is preset and stored in the device for real-time acquisition by the controller. The speed of conveyor belt 2 is obtained from the drive motor; for more precise control, a speed sensor can be installed. The controller calculates the time required for the tray to move completely under the waterjet cutter 3 from the beginning to the end based on the tray's length and the conveyor belt 2's speed, and then starts and waits. In this step, the controller quickly calculates the time required for the tray to move completely under the waterjet cutter 3 based on the tray's length and the conveyor belt 2's speed. Because the waterjet cutter 3 executes the cutting command through laser sensor 11 and waits for the tray to move completely under the waterjet cutter 3 before executing the cutting command, it is necessary to accurately and quickly calculate the time required for the tray to move completely under the waterjet cutter 3 to ensure that the waterjet cutter 3 accurately cuts the baked goods and completes the cutting.

[0058] Step 4: After the controller completes the waiting time calculated in Step 3, the two-axis moving device 5 starts and controls the water-cooled cutting blade 3 to cut the baked goods on the tray. When the controller completes the waiting time calculated in Step 3, it will start the two-axis moving device 5 and control the water-cooled cutting blade 3 to cut the baked goods on the tray.

[0059] Step 5: The two-axis moving device 5 moves the water cutting blade 3 above the water tank 14 of the water basin 10, and the Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 is reset. After cutting, the two-axis moving device 5 moves the water cutting blade 3 above the water tank 14 of the water basin 10 and resets the Y-axis to prepare for the next cutting. Specifically, the Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 mainly ensures that the water cutting blade 3 on the X-axis and the conveyor belt 2 are in a relatively stationary state. In conjunction with the X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5, the water cutting blade 3 cuts the baked goods, creating a straight cut. To improve production efficiency, the Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 needs to be quickly reset after cutting the baked goods to ensure that the Y-axis is ready for the next cutting. The X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 does not need to be reset. After the X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 completes the cutting work from left to right, the next cutting work will be done from right to left. This process is repeated to reduce the number of steps in the equipment operation, thereby improving the production efficiency and service life of the equipment.

[0060] Step Six: Conveyor Belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the exit. If the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the exit, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the exit. This step ensures that the present invention and the lower-level machine can cooperate with each other, reduce the fault tolerance between devices, and improve the cooperation between different devices. When the conveyor belt 2 transports the cut baked goods to the exit, the object detection device 13 installed on the conveyor belt 2 will detect whether there are any products at the exit that have not been taken away by the lower-level machine. The blocking device 12 enables the present invention to cooperate with the lower-level machine to successfully complete the production operation. When the object detection device 13 does not detect any baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, allowing the cut baked goods to be transported to the outlet. When the object detection device 13 detects baked goods at the outlet, the blocking device 12 extends the baffle 20. At this time, the controller waits for the waterjet cutter 3 to complete the cutting operation. Once the waterjet cutter 3 has completed the cutting operation, the controller directly stops the conveyor belt 2 and monitors the object detection device 13 in real time. When it detects that the baked goods at the outlet have been removed, the blocking device 12 retracts the baffle 20, the conveyor belt 2 starts, and the cut baked goods are transported to the outlet. Through the control method described above, waterjet cutting of baked goods can be achieved, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the cutting process.

[0061] Step four of this invention further includes: the controller acquiring the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2, the Y-axis moving speed of the two-axis moving device 5 being equal to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2 at this time, and the X-axis moving the water-cutting blade 3 to complete the cutting of the trayed baked goods. The Y-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 mainly ensures that the water-cutting blade 3 on the X-axis and the conveyor belt 2 are in a relatively stationary state, cooperating with the X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5 to cut the baked goods with the water-cutting blade 3. Specifically, in order to improve production efficiency, this invention does not stop the conveyor belt 2 during cutting. By cooperating with the Y-axis movement of the two-axis moving device 5, the water-cutting blade 3 and the conveyor belt 2 are kept relatively stationary. At the same time, cooperating with the X-axis of the two-axis moving device 5, the water-cutting blade 3 cuts the baked goods, creating a straight cut in the baked goods. Therefore, the conveyor belt 2 can continuously transport the trayed baked goods under the water-cutting blade 3, quickly completing the cutting and improving production efficiency.

[0062] To further optimize this invention, the controller obtains the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2 in real time through a speed sensor, and determines that the Y-axis moving speed of the two-axis moving device 5 is equal to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 2. In this way, regardless of how the speed of the conveyor belt 2 changes, the moving speed of the waterjet cutter 3 can be kept consistent with the speed of the conveyor belt 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the cut.

[0063] In summary, this invention provides a control method for a waterjet cutting machine for baking foods. By automatically adjusting the cutting speed and position, it achieves automated control of the cutting process, ensuring cutting accuracy and efficiency. This method simplifies operation steps, reduces operator workload, and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the method can flexibly adapt to different types of baked goods, exhibiting strong versatility and applicability.
