DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 to the accompanying drawings Figure 8 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0038] Reference will be made to Figure 1 and Figure 2This application discloses a bread surface sprinkling device (hereinafter referred to as the sprinkling device), including a frame 1, a bread conveyor belt 2, and an auxiliary material conveyor belt 3. The bread conveyor belt 2 and the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3 are arranged parallel to each other and in the same direction on the frame 1. The auxiliary material conveyor belt 3 is located above the bread conveyor belt 2. The auxiliary material conveyor belt 3 includes a discharge end 31 and a loading end 32. The discharge end 31 is the end of the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3 that is conveyed in the forward direction. On the vertical projection plane, the discharge end 31 is located between the middle and the end of the bread conveyor belt 2. The loading end 32 is used to transport the auxiliary materials to the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3. After the auxiliary materials are transported to the discharge end 31 by the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3, they fall under the action of gravity; the bread is transported by the bread conveyor belt 2 to the position where the auxiliary materials fall, so that the auxiliary materials are sprinkled on the surface of the bread; the bread conveyor belt 2 continues to send the bread to the next process. The feeding end 32 is also equipped with a feeding hopper 33, and a valve 331 for controlling the amount of material to be sprinkled is provided at the outlet of the feeding hopper 33. Since the structure of the valve 331 is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, during operation of the spreading device, the auxiliary materials need to be evenly spread on the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3, while the bread is arranged in an intermittent array on the bread conveyor belt 2. When the auxiliary materials fall from above onto the bread, some of them will fall between the bread pieces, resulting in waste. Therefore, to reduce waste, the spreading device also includes several receiving hoppers 4 and receiving beams 5. The receiving beams 5 are horizontally positioned below the discharge end 31. The receiving beams 5 are connected to the frame 1. A control groove 51 is formed along the length of the receiving beams 5, and the control groove 51 vertically penetrates the receiving beams 5. Several receiving hoppers 4 are adjacent to each other and arranged in a straight line at the bottom of the control groove 51. The openings 511 of the receiving hoppers 4 face the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3, and the outlets face the bread conveyor belt 2. The number and position of the receiving hoppers 4 correspond to the bread pieces. The receiving hoppers 4 and the receiving beams 5 are detachably connected, and the receiving hoppers 4 are deformable; the diameter of the receiving hoppers 4 along the length of the control groove 51 can be compressed or stretched. Since several receiving hoppers 4 are adjacent to each other and all have the same diameter, when several receiving hoppers 4 are compressed, the control groove 51 leaves a gap to supplement the receiving hoppers 4, thereby increasing the number of receiving hoppers 4 to accommodate more bread. Conversely, the edge receiving hoppers 4 are removed and the diameter of the remaining receiving hoppers 4 is stretched so that the remaining receiving hoppers 4 can cover the bottom of the control groove 51 to prevent the auxiliary materials from leaking.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Further, the receiving hopper 4 comprises a connecting ring 41, a transition bag 42 and a discharge head 43. The connecting ring 41 comprises connecting arc rods 411 and deformation arc rods 412. The connecting arc rods 411 are arranged vertically along the length direction of the control groove 51, and two connecting arc rods 411 are symmetrically arranged with the diameter of the connecting ring 41 as the reference. The deformation arc rods 412 are arranged in pairs, and the deformation arc rods 412 are arranged parallel to the length direction of the control groove 51, and the deformation arc rods 412 are symmetrically arranged with the diameter of the connecting ring 41 as the reference. One end of the deformation arc rod 412 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting arc rod 411, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the adjacent connecting arc rod 411. The deformation arc rod 412 and the connecting arc rod 411 are connected end to end to form a ring-like structure. The deformation arc rod 412 has a deformation capacity, and the deformation arc rod 412 has an elastic capacity to restore the initial state. The deformation arc rod 412 is preferably made of high-strength polyethylene material or synthetic metal material with high toughness. In other embodiments, the number of connecting arc rods 411 and deformation arc rods 412 is not limited, and the connecting arc rods 411 and deformation arc rods 412 are connected end to end to form a ring-like structure. The transition bag 42 is a hollow conical structure, and the transition bag 42 is made of cloth, flexible plastic or high-strength paper material. One end of the transition bag 42 with a large diameter is wrapped around the outer circumferential side of the connecting ring 41, and the other end of the transition bag 42 with a small diameter extends towards the bread conveyor belt 2 and is connected to the discharge head 43. The hollow conical structure of the transition bag 42 and the hollow design of the discharge head 43 ensure that the auxiliary materials can smoothly and stably flow out and maintain an appropriate posture. The discharge head 43 is a hollow structure, which is generally made of metal material. The discharge head 43 is used to maintain the posture of the auxiliary materials when flowing out.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Further, a plurality of first partition plates 52 and a plurality of second partition plates 53 are slidably connected in the control groove 51. The first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 are arranged vertically along the length direction of the control groove 51. One first partition plate 52 and one second partition plate 53 form a group, and the first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 in each group are arranged in parallel. The first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 in each group leave a passage for the auxiliary materials to pass through. The first partition plate 52 is provided with a magnet on the side away from the second partition plate 53 in the same group, and the first partition plate 52 is attracted to the second partition plate 53 in the adjacent group by the magnet. The bottom of the first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 in the same group is connected to the corresponding connecting arc rod 411 in the same connecting ring 41. The relative position between the first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 affects the deformation degree of the deformation arc rod 412, and further affects the width of the connecting ring 41. The first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 are both provided with a chamfer 531 at one end close to the auxiliary material conveyor belt 3, and the chamfers 531 of the two are inclined towards the gap between them. Thus, the auxiliary materials are guided to enter between the first partition plate 52 and the second partition plate 53 in the same group, and enter the receiving hopper 4.

[0042] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Further, the control groove 51 is formed with an opening 511 at one end of the control groove 51 for the first and second partition plates 52 and 53 to slide horizontally into the control groove 51. The opening 511 is provided with a baffle 54 along the length direction of the control groove 51. When the first and second partition plates 52 and 53 are inserted into the control groove 51, the baffle 54 blocks the opening 511 to form a closed control groove 51.

[0043] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 6 Further, two grooves 512 are formed in the inner wall of the opening 511 along the length direction of the control groove 51, and the baffle 54 is provided with a protrusion 541 on both sides which can be inserted into the grooves 512 from top to bottom. The protrusion 541 is dovetail-shaped in cross section, and the grooves 512 are correspondingly shaped. The dovetail-shaped fitting can provide the baffle 54 with a certain degree of support for the side walls of the receiving beam 5, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the baffle 54 and the receiving beam 5.

[0044] With reference to Figure 6 Further, a limiting groove 513 is formed in the inner wall of the control groove 51 along the length direction, and the first and second partition plates 52 and 53 are provided with a limiting block 532 on one side which can slide in the limiting groove 513.

[0045] With reference to Figure 7 and Figure 8Furthermore, to enhance the ease of operation of the first partitions 52 and the second partitions 53, the material spreading device also includes a linkage control assembly 6. The linkage control assembly 6 includes a connecting frame 61, several connecting rods 62, several first support rods 64, and several second support rods 65. The connecting frame 61 is located on one side of the supporting beam 5 and extends along the length of the supporting beam 5. One end of each of the first partitions 52 and the second partition 53 is connected to a connecting rod 62 via a connecting rod. A connecting groove 514 is formed through the outer wall of the supporting beam 5 to allow the connecting rod to slide. The connecting rods 62 are vertically arranged and slidably connected to the connecting frame 61. A sliding groove 621 is formed along the length of the connecting rod 62, and the sliding groove 621 has a convex cross-section. Two sliders 63 are slidably connected in the sliding groove 621, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the cross-section of the sliding groove 621. The two sliders 63 move towards or away from each other. A first support rod 64 and a second support rod 65 form a group, corresponding to the grouping of the first separator 52 and the second separator 53. The first support rod 64 and the second support rod 65 in each group are hinged at the middle to form an X-shaped structure. The two ends of the first support rod 64 in each group are rotatably connected to sliders 63 on different connecting rods 62. The connecting rods 62 that abut each other have a linkage groove 622 on their abutting side. The sliders 63 are provided with magnetic blocks 631 that can slide in the linkage groove 622. The corresponding sliders 63 are connected through the magnetic blocks 631, so that they move synchronously.

[0046] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The linkage control component 6 also includes a bidirectional screw 66, a drive element 67, and two slide rods 68. The drive element 67 is located at one end of the connecting frame 61. The drive element 67 is a motor, which can be operated manually in other embodiments. The output end of the drive element 67 is connected to the bidirectional screw 66, which passes through one end of the two slide rods 68 and is threadedly connected to the screw. The other end of the slide rod 68 passes through the adjacent linkage groove 622 and is connected to the corresponding slider 63.

[0047] The implementation principle of a bread surface coating device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0048] Depending on the type and quantity of bread to be topped, the positions of the first separator 52 and the second separator 53 are adjusted via the linkage control component 6. The slider 63 slides within the groove 621 of the connecting rod 62, causing the X-shaped structure of the first support rod 64 and the second support rod 65 to open and close, thereby moving the first separator 52 and the second separator 53. This movement of the separators alters the deformation of the receiving hopper 4. This allows space to be created in the control groove 51 for installing more receiving hoppers 4, or for filling the space within the control groove 51 after removing the receiving hoppers 4.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application, so that: all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
