DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] A continuous dough belt cooking and conveying device, see Figure 1-6 , including a conveyor belt 1, a first ripening box 4 and a second ripening box 5, wherein the first ripening box 4 and the second ripening box 5 are arranged front and back in the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 1, wherein the dough belt can be subdivided into a type of pasta, and the dough belt continuous ripening and conveying equipment ripens the dough belt by baking. Moreover, the first ripening box 4 is used to perform preliminary ripening on the unformed pasta so that its surface can harden for subsequent further hardening operations, and the second ripening box 5 is used to further ripen the preliminary ripened pasta so that it is baked to a predetermined degree of ripening, and a plurality of pushing mechanisms are provided on the conveyor belt 1; Reference Figure 1 The upper end of the conveyor belt 1 passes through the heating chambers of the first ripening box 4 and the second ripening box 5 in sequence, and the dough strip is baked through the preliminary ripening in the first ripening box 4 and the deep ripening in the second ripening box 5. A robot (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the front end of the conveyor belt 1, wherein the robot is used to place the dough strip to be ripened on the surface of the support plate 8. The robot can also be replaced by other devices with the same function, and no more examples are given here.

[0020] The pushing mechanism comprises a fixed column 6 mounted on the conveyor belt 1. The connection between the fixed column 6 and the conveyor belt 1 is preferably detachable, so that the debris dropped when the pasta is baked can be easily cleaned. A support arc plate 7 for supporting the pasta belt is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed column 6. The support arc plate 7 is provided with a support plate 8 for initially placing the pasta belt. Figure 2 The upper surface of the support plate 8 is arranged in an arc shape, and the shape of the cooked pasta corresponds to the shape of the upper surface of the support plate 8.

[0021] The supporting arc plate 7 is provided with a plurality of air holes 9, which facilitate the contact between heat and the bottom of the dough strip. The air holes 9 can also be arranged in a strip shape along the horizontal direction of the supporting arc plate 7, the purpose of which is to increase the contact area between the pasta and the heat emitted by the second ripening box 5, and improve its degree of ripening. A push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the support plate 8, and a push block 17 is provided at one end of the push rod 18 close to the support plate 8. The push block 17 is used to push the preliminarily ripened dough strip, and the push rod 18 is used to drive the upper push block 17 to move, thereby pushing the pasta in the second ripening box 5. A driving cavity 21 is provided in the fixed column 6, and a driving group is provided in the driving cavity 21. The driving group is used to drive the support plate 8 to move during the transmission process. It should be noted that the support plate 8 will not move until it is transmitted to the second ripening box 5.

[0022] The specific process of the support plate 8 moving in the second ripening box 5 is as follows: the driving group includes a first driving shaft 10 and a second driving shaft 11 rotatably connected to the fixed column 6, the second driving shaft 11 extends into the driving cavity 21, the first driving shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the first gear 14, the second driving shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the second gear 15 and the third gear 16, wherein the first gear 14 is meshed with the second gear 15.

[0023] A driving shaft 27 is rotatably connected in the driving cavity 21, and a bevel gear 22 is fixedly connected to the driving shaft 27 and the second driving shaft 11, and the two bevel gears 22 are meshed and connected with each other. A receiving groove 23 is provided on the supporting arc plate 7, wherein the receiving groove 23 is communicated with the driving cavity 21, and the driving shaft 27 extends into the receiving groove 23. When the second driving shaft 11 rotates, the driving shaft 27 is driven to rotate through the two bevel gears 22.

[0024] The storage groove 23 is slidably connected with a push rod 24 along the setting direction of the inner side wall, and a push rack 26 is provided on the side of the push rod 24 close to the push shaft 27. A push gear 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the push shaft 27 located in the storage groove 23. The push gear 25 is meshed with the push rack 26, and the push rod 24 is connected to the push rod 18. As mentioned above, when the push shaft 27 is driven to rotate, the push rod 24 is driven to move through the push gear 25 and the push rack 26, and its moving path is the setting direction of the storage groove 23.

[0025] A plurality of first racks 19 and second racks 20 are disposed in the second ripening box 5 . The plurality of first racks 19 and second racks 20 are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 . The first racks 19 and second racks 20 are alternately disposed in the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 1 .

[0026] The pasta will first pass through the first ripening box 4, and after the preliminary baking in the first ripening box 4, the surface of the pasta will be initially hardened, and then it will enter the second ripening box 5. When the conveyor belt 1 drives the fixed column 6 to enter the second ripening box 5 (with Figure 4As shown in the figure, the third gear 16 will first contact the second rack 20, so that the second driving shaft 11 will first rotate in the positive direction, and then drive the driving shaft 27 to rotate, thereby driving the pushing rod 24 to move through the transmission mode. Since the pushing rod 24 is connected to the support plate 8, the support plate 8 will move to the left. At this time, the preliminarily cooked pasta will fall to the surface of the supporting arc plate 7 under the action of gravity. At this time, the pasta is in the middle position of the movement trajectory of the two pushing blocks 17; then, during the continued movement of the fixed column 6, the first gear 14 will contact the first rack 19, thereby causing the first gear 14 to rotate in the positive direction, and the second gear meshing with the first gear 14 will rotate in the positive direction. The wheel 15 rotates in the opposite direction, synchronously driving the second driving shaft 11 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the second driving shaft 11 rotates in the opposite direction, the support plate 8 moves to the right through the transmission action of the driving shaft 27 and the pushing rod 24, and the pushing block 17 on the support plate 8 pushes the pasta to move to the right. Then, after the third gear 16 contacts the second rack 20, the pushing block 17 on the pushing rod 18 pushes the pasta to move to the left, and so on and so forth, driving the pasta to move left and right, so that each part thereof is heated evenly, and the heat will also contact the bottom of the pasta through the air vents 9, which can also ensure that the bottom of the pasta is heated evenly, thereby increasing the cooking speed of the pasta and also enabling the whole pasta to be cooked comprehensively.

[0027] The first rack 19 corresponds to the position and tooth width of the first gear 14, and the first gear 14 in motion can rotate under the action of the first rack 19. The second rack 20 corresponds to the position and tooth width of the third gear 16, and the third gear 16 in motion can rotate under the action of the second rack 20. In this way, during the movement of the fixed column 6, the first gear 14 and the third gear 16 can mesh with the first rack 19 and the second rack 20 respectively.

[0028] A fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second driving shaft 11, and a torsion spring 13 for resetting the second driving shaft 11 is provided between the fixing plate 12 and the fixing column 6. The torsion spring 13 can reset the support plate 8 when the fixing column 6 moves out of the second ripening box 5. During the reset of the support plate 8, the pasta is pushed to one side of the supporting arc plate 7, which is convenient for the subsequent unloading process.

[0029] A collection box 28 is provided at the conveying tail end of the conveyor belt 1, and the collection box 28 is used to collect the fully cooked noodles. When the cooked noodles reach the tail end of the conveyor belt 1, they fall into the collection box 28 by the gravity of the noodles themselves when the fixed column 6 is turned over, and the cooked noodles are collected.

[0030] Two symmetrically arranged pillars 2 are provided at the bottom of the front and rear ends of the conveyor belt 1, and driving rollers 3 are rotatably connected to the two pillars 2. The two driving rollers 3 are respectively located at the two ends of the conveyor belt 1, and a driving source (not shown in the figure) is externally connected to the center of the driving roller 3. The driving source drives the conveyor belt 1 to perform transmission operations by driving the driving roller 3 to rotate. This method is to drive the conveyor belt 1, which is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.
