[0030] As Figures 1-8As shown, the present embodiment provides an automatic rod-shaped food feeding and storing line, which includes a material distributing device 20, a box distributing device 40, a feeding conveying line 10 feeding in a transverse direction, and a box conveying line 30 connected with the output end of the box distributing device 40 and feeding in a transverse direction. The output end of the feeding conveying line 10 is above the material receiving position of the box conveying line 30, and the material distributing device 20 is arranged between the output end of the feeding conveying line 10 and the material receiving position of the box conveying line 30. The material distributing device 20 includes a servo motor 21, a material distributing wheel 22 connected with the motor shaft of the servo motor 21, and a material distributing cover 23 arranged on one side of the material distributing wheel 22. The material distributing wheel 22 is uniformly and evenly spaced with a plurality of material distributing grooves 24, each of which can accommodate a single rod-shaped food. The material distributing cover 23 and the material distributing grooves 24 form a structure that holds the rod-shaped food so that it will not fall from an uncertain position during the rotation of the material distributing wheel 22, but will only fall at the lowest end of the material distributing cover 23. Preferably, the material distributing device 20 is installed on the box conveying line 30 through a fixing plate 25, and the material distributing cover 23 is installed on the fixing plate 25 and its side facing the material distributing wheel 22 is a circular arc structure concentric with the material distributing wheel 22.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the feeding conveying line 10 is a spacing conveying device, which is connected with the upstream rod-shaped food sorting device. The sorting device makes the rod-shaped food fall into the feeding conveying line 10 in a longitudinal direction. The structure of the sorting device is not the improvement point of the present application and can adopt the conventional structure, which is not described here. The adjusting baffle 11 is installed at the position where the feeding conveying line 10 is connected with the output end of the sorting device through an adjusting assembly. The adjusting assembly includes an angle steel 12, a rolling bearing 15, a connecting shaft 14, and a supporting block 13. The angle steel 12 is connected with the side plate of the feeding conveying line 10 and is provided with a strip-shaped hole extending along the width direction of the feeding conveying line 10. The angle steel 12 is fixed on one side of the rack of the feeding conveying line 10 through screws. The supporting block 13 is fixedly connected with the angle steel 12 through fasteners. The connecting shaft 14 is arranged horizontally along the width direction of the feeding conveying line 10 and is provided with a threaded section screw-connected with the supporting block 13 on one side. The adjusting baffle 11 is assembled on the protruding end of the connecting shaft 14 through the rolling bearing 15 and is rollingly matched with the conveying belt of the feeding conveying line 10. The rod-shaped food from the sorting device is blocked by the adjusting baffle 11. The position of the adjusting baffle 11 in the width direction of the feeding conveying line 10 is adjusted by adjusting the connecting position of the strip-shaped hole of the angle steel 12 and the screwing position of the connecting shaft 14, so as to adjust the relative position of the end of the rod-shaped food in the material distributing groove 24.

[0032] In the embodiment, the two sides of the box conveying line 30 are respectively provided with adjusting side plates 31, and the distance between the two adjusting side plates 31 is adjustable. The distance is adjusted according to the length of the tray so that the length direction of the tray is parallel to the central axis of the distribution groove 24.

[0033] The transition plate 50 is connected to the frame of the box conveying line 30 through a connecting structure. Preferably, the transition plate 50 is provided with a plurality of chip holes 500. The chip holes 500 can avoid the accumulation of the chips or sugar juice or other components falling from the body of the stick-shaped food on the transition plate 50, which affects the smoothness and posture of the stick-shaped food.

[0034] The connecting structure includes vertical support plates 51, adjustable plates 52 and connecting plates 53. The vertical support plates 51 are provided with two vertical opposite adjusting side plates 31 respectively installed on the frame of the box conveying line 30. The top of each vertical support plate 51 is provided with a first mounting hole 511. The two sides of the adjustable plate 52 are respectively provided with a second mounting hole 521 matched with the first mounting hole 511. Preferably, the first mounting hole 511 is a strip hole with a long axis in the vertical direction, and the second mounting hole 521 is a strip hole with a long axis in the horizontal direction. Thus, the position adjustment in the up-down and front-back directions is realized through the combined position adjustment of the first mounting hole 511 and the second mounting hole 521.

[0035] The middle part of the adjustable plate 52 is provided with a second connecting hole 522, and the bottom of the connecting plate 53 is provided with a first connecting hole 531 matched with the second connecting hole 522. Preferably, the first connecting hole 531 is a strip hole with a long axis in the vertical direction, and the second connecting hole 522 is a strip hole with a long axis in the horizontal direction. Thus, the position adjustment in the up-down and left-right directions is realized through the combined position adjustment of the first connecting hole 531 and the second connecting hole 522.

[0036] The transition plate 50 is provided with a retaining wall 501 on one side of the width, and an adjustable baffle 502 is connected on the other side. The distance between the adjustable baffle 502 and the retaining wall 501 is adjustable. The distance is adjusted according to the length of the stick-shaped food to ensure that the relative positions of the stick-shaped foods falling into the distribution grooves 24 are consistent, and the head and tail of the stick-shaped food are on the same straight line. Thus, the stick-shaped food is avoided from being misaligned when falling into the tray from the distribution device 20. The top of the connecting plate 53 is in plane abutment with the bottom surface of the transition plate 50. One side of the connecting plate 53 is also provided with a matching plate 532 connected to the retaining wall 501 of the transition plate 50 through a fastener.

[0037] The connecting structure makes the transition plate 50 adjustable in up-down, left-right and front-back directions according to actual operation, and the adjustable baffle 502 can be adjusted according to the length of the rod-shaped food to ensure that the rod-shaped food falls into the lower tray in order, and the connecting plate 53 can be adjusted in left-right direction according to the length of the rod-shaped food and the position requirement of the rod-shaped food falling into the distribution groove 24.

[0038] In the embodiment, the "transverse running mode" means that the running direction of the rod-shaped food (such as egg roll, rod-shaped biscuit, etc.) or the tray is perpendicular to the length direction of the rod-shaped food, and the center axis of the distribution groove 24 and the motor shaft of the servo motor 21 are respectively parallel to the length direction of the rod-shaped food.

[0039] The embodiment adjusts the angular velocity of the distribution wheel 22 and the linear velocity of the box conveying line 30 to make the rod-shaped food falling from the distribution wheel 22 fall into the tray on the box conveying line 30 in order, and adjusts the relative speed of the feeding conveying line 10 and the distribution wheel 22 to limit the number of the rod-shaped food buffered on the transition plate 50 and not to affect the rod-shaped food monomer entering the distribution groove 24.

[0040] In the embodiment, the box conveying line 30 is composed of a first conveying line and a second conveying line, the first conveying line is connected with the box distributing device 40, the output end of the first conveying line is connected with the second conveying line, the distribution device 20 is connected with the second conveying line, and the transportation speed of the first conveying line is greater than that of the second conveying line, and the driving time interval of the cylinder of the box distributing device 40 is controlled to make the adjacent trays continuously run on the second conveying line without interval. The number of the rod-shaped food filled in each tray is fixed according to the specification, and the rod-shaped foods in the same tray are arranged in sequence and adjacent to each other, and there is a certain distance between the closest two rod-shaped foods of the adjacent trays due to the width of the tray flange. Therefore, the distribution wheel 22 controls the rotation interval of the corresponding periodic number of distribution grooves 24 to rotate at a first angular velocity by the servo motor 21, and rotates at a second angular velocity in the rotation interval of the next distribution groove 24 of the periodic number, and then rotates the rotation interval of the periodic number of distribution grooves 24 at the first angular velocity, and the first angular velocity is greater than the second angular velocity.
