Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of processing ovens, and particularly to a high-efficiency production and processing oven. Background Technology
[0002] Baking is an essential step in the production of many products, achieving various benefits such as removing moisture, shortening curing and setting time, and improving appearance and texture. Currently, tunnel ovens are commonly used for baking. A tunnel oven includes an oven body and a conveyor system within it. This conveyor system can connect to a production line, allowing products to be transported to and from the oven body for baking and then removed by the conveyor system. However, tunnel ovens are relatively large, occupying considerable space, and can only bake a small number of products intermittently, resulting in low space utilization and baking efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main objective of this invention is to propose a high-efficiency production and processing oven, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing tunnel ovens, such as large size, large space occupation, only able to bake a small number of products intermittently, and low space utilization and baking efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a high-efficiency production and processing oven, comprising an oven body, a transfer device, and a material tray. The oven body includes a housing and a circulating feeding device. The transfer device is arranged in parallel with the housing. The circulating feeding device is connected to the transfer device. The transfer device is connected to a conveyor belt.
[0005] The circulating feeding device includes a circulating structure and several pallet placement racks. The pallet placement racks are installed on the circulating structure, and the material pallets can be placed on the pallet placement racks.
[0006] Optionally, the loop structure includes a frame, gears, and a transmission chain. There are multiple pairs of gears, all of which are mounted on the frame. There are two transmission chains, which are arranged around the gears, and the first end of each transmission chain is connected to its tail end.
[0007] The pallet rack is installed between two conveyor chains, and the pallet rack includes two pins, which are respectively inserted into the two conveyor chains.
[0008] Optionally, both of the conveyor chains are U-shaped.
[0009] Optionally, the frame includes multiple pairs of first guide wheels, which are disposed on one side of the gear;
[0010] The tray placement rack includes a support frame, ear seats, and a second guide wheel. There are two ear seats, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the support frame. Two pins are respectively disposed on the upper part of the two ear seats, and the second guide wheel is disposed on the lower part of the ear seats.
[0011] When the tray placement rack is circulated, the first guide wheel can abut against the second guide wheel and rotate relative to it.
[0012] Optionally, the second guide wheel is in two sets, with each set of the second guide wheel being disposed on one of the two ear seats. Each set of the second guide wheel has four second guide wheels, which are arranged in a rectangular pattern.
[0013] The frame also includes a vertical guide plate and a horizontal guide plate, both of which are mounted on the frame. The vertical guide plates are arranged in pairs, and the conveyor chain is located between the two vertical guide plates. The second guide wheel can abut against the vertical guide plate or the horizontal guide plate and rotate relative to it.
[0014] Optionally, both ends of the vertical guide plate are provided with vertical guide slopes, and both ends of the horizontal guide plate are provided with horizontal guide slopes.
[0015] Optionally, the transfer device includes a frame, a conveyor track, and a transfer robot. The housing includes at least one first material transfer port, and the frame includes at least two second material transfer ports. The first material transfer port is connected to one of the second material transfer ports, and the other second material transfer port of the frame is connected to the conveyor of the production line. The conveyor track and the transfer robot are both installed inside the frame. The conveyor track is connected to the production line conveyor via the second material transfer ports. The transfer robot is positioned above the conveyor track and can extend into the housing through the second material transfer ports and the first material transfer port.
[0016] Optionally, the transfer robot includes a transfer mechanism and a transfer rod, the material tray includes a transfer through hole, and the transfer rod can be detachably connected to the transfer through hole.
[0017] The technical solution of this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] By incorporating a transfer device, material trays, and a circulating feeding device, products awaiting baking can be conveyed to the transfer device via a conveyor belt, and then transferred to the circulating feeding device within the oven for further processing and unloading. This allows the products to complete baking during the continuous conveying process. They then cycle back to the starting position and are transferred again to the conveyor belt for subsequent processing and unloading. Compared to tunnel ovens, this design effectively utilizes the lower space below the conveyor belt within the oven body, and also leverages the upward-extended space to simultaneously accommodate multiple material trays loaded with products for baking. Furthermore, during baking, the transfer device moves the baked products and material trays from the start / end of the circulating feeding device to the conveyor belt, and vice versa. This allows for the cyclical processing of a large number of products, effectively improving space utilization and baking efficiency. Attached Figure Description

If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0031] This invention proposes a high-efficiency production and processing oven.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the high-efficiency production and processing oven includes an oven body 100, a transfer device 200, and a material tray 300. Specifically, the oven body 100 includes a housing 110 and a circulating feeding device 120, which is disposed inside the housing 110. The transfer device 200 is arranged parallel to the housing 110, and the circulating feeding device 120 is connected to the transfer device 200. The transfer device 200 is connected to a conveyor belt.
[0033] During the baking process, the products to be baked are conveyed to the transfer device 200 via a conveyor belt, and then transferred to the circulating feeding device 120 inside the oven body 110 for continuous conveying. The products are baked during this continuous conveying process, then returned to the starting position and transferred again to the conveyor belt via the transfer device 200 for subsequent processing and unloading. Compared to tunnel ovens, this design effectively utilizes the lower space of the oven body 100 below the conveyor belt position, and also utilizes the upward-extended space to simultaneously accommodate multiple product-loaded trays 300 for baking. Furthermore, during baking, the transferred device 200 can transfer the baked products and their trays 300 from the start / end of the circulating feeding device 120 to the conveyor belt, and vice versa. This allows for the cyclical processing of a large number of products, thus effectively improving space utilization and baking efficiency.
[0034] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the circulating feeding device 120 includes a circulating structure and several tray placement racks 1207. The tray placement racks 1207 are mounted on the circulating structure, and the material trays 300 are placed on the tray placement racks 1207. Specifically, the circulating structure includes a frame 1201, gears 1202, and conveyor chains 1203. There are multiple pairs of gears 1202, which are installed in pairs on the frame 1201. Additionally, there are two conveyor chains 1203, which are wound around the paired gears 1202. The beginning and end of each conveyor chain 1203 are connected to its end, forming a U-shape. During the baking process, the two conveyor chains 1203 rotate cyclically under the drive of the gears 1202. In other embodiments, the circulation structure may employ a combination of rollers and a conveyor belt to circulate and transport several pallet racks 1207. The rollers replace the gears 1202, and the conveyor belt replaces the conveyor chain 1203. The pallet racks 1207 are mounted on the conveyor belt, thereby driving the conveyor belt via the rollers to circulate and transport the pallet racks 1207. Furthermore, the connected ends of the installed conveyor chain 1203 or conveyor belt can form other circulation shapes.
[0035] Furthermore, the aforementioned frame 1201 includes multiple vertical guide plates 1204, several horizontal guide plates 1205, and multiple pairs of first guide wheels 1206. Specifically, the vertical guide plates 1204 and horizontal guide plates 1205 are both mounted on the frame 1201, wherein the vertical guide plates 1204 are arranged in pairs, and the conveyor chain 1203 is located between two vertical guide plates 1204. Furthermore, vertical guide ramps 12041 are provided at both ends of the vertical guide plates 1204, and horizontal guide ramps 12051 are provided at both ends of the horizontal guide plates 1205. Even further, the aforementioned first guide wheels 1206 are disposed on one side of the gear 1202.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the pallet placement rack 1207 is installed between two conveyor chains 1203, and the pallet placement rack 1207 includes two pins 12074, which are respectively inserted into the two conveyor chains 1203. Specifically, the pallet placement rack 1207 includes a support frame 12071, ear seats 12072, and second guide wheels 12073. There are two ear seats 12072, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the support frame 12071. The two pins 12074 are respectively disposed on the upper part of the two ear seats 12072, and the second guide wheels 12073 are disposed on the lower part of the ear seats 12072. Further, there are two sets of second guide wheels 12073, which are respectively disposed on the two ear seats 12072. Each set of second guide wheels 12073 contains four second guide wheels 12073, which are arranged in a rectangular shape.
[0037] During the baking process, the pallet rack 1207 can move in a U-shape in a circular motion along the conveyor chain 1203. When the pallet rack 1207 moves around the gear 1202 along the conveyor chain 1203, the first guide wheel 1206 can abut against the second guide wheel 12073 and rotate relative to it, so as to guide the circular movement of the pallet rack 1207, thereby ensuring the smoothness and stability of the movement of the pallet rack 1207 during the cycle. When the pallet placement rack 1207 moves vertically or horizontally along the frame 1201 with the conveyor chain 1203, the second guide wheel 12073 can abut against the vertical guide plate 1204 or the horizontal guide plate 1205 and rotate relative to it. In addition, before the second guide wheel 12073 abuts against the vertical guide plate 1204 or the horizontal guide plate 1205 and before it separates from them, the second guide wheel 12073 will abut against the vertical guide slope 12041 and the horizontal guide slope 12051 and rotate relative to them. This facilitates the smooth and stable abutment and separation of the second guide wheel 12073 with the vertical guide plate 1204 or the horizontal guide plate 1205, so as to guide the cyclic movement of the pallet placement rack 1207 and further ensure the smoothness and stability of the movement of the pallet placement rack 1207 during the cycle.
[0038] like Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the transfer device 200 includes a frame, a conveyor track, and a transfer robot 210. Specifically, the aforementioned housing 110 includes at least one first material transfer port 1101, and the frame includes at least two second material transfer ports. The first material transfer port 1101 is connected to one of the second material transfer ports, and the other second material transfer port of the frame is connected to the conveyor device of the assembly line. The conveyor track and the transfer robot 210 are both installed inside the frame. In this embodiment, the conveyor track is connected to the assembly line conveyor device via the second material transfer ports, and the transfer robot 210 is disposed above the conveyor track. The transfer robot 210 can extend into the housing 110 through the second material transfer ports and the first material transfer port 1101. Further, the transfer robot 210 includes a transfer mechanism and a transfer rod, and the material tray 300 includes a transfer through hole 310. The transfer rod can be detachably connected to the transfer through hole 310. Since the specific structure and cooperation method of the conveyor track and the transfer robot 210 are mature existing technologies, they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0039] During the baking process, the baked products and material trays 300 are transferred from the tray placement rack 1207 to the conveyor track by the transfer robot 210, and then conveyed to the assembly line conveyor for subsequent processing and unloading operations. Then, the next batch of products and material trays 300 to be processed can be directly conveyed to the conveyor track by the assembly line conveyor, and then transferred from the conveyor track to the tray placement rack 1207 by the transfer robot 210. This allows the products and material trays 300 to move in a U-shape cyclical motion along the conveyor chain 1203, completing the baking process during this cyclical movement within the housing 110. This achieves a cyclical baking operation, improving space utilization and baking efficiency.
[0040] Specifically, the working principle and process of this invention are as follows:
[0041] By incorporating a transfer device, material trays, and a circulating feeding device, products awaiting baking can be conveyed to the transfer device via a conveyor belt, and then transferred to the circulating feeding device within the oven for further processing and unloading. This allows the products to complete baking during the continuous conveying process. They then cycle back to the starting position and are transferred again to the conveyor belt for subsequent processing and unloading. Compared to tunnel ovens, this design effectively utilizes the lower space below the conveyor belt within the oven body, and also leverages the upward-extended space to simultaneously accommodate multiple material trays loaded with products for baking. Furthermore, during baking, the transfer device moves the baked products and material trays from the start / end of the circulating feeding device to the conveyor belt, and vice versa. This allows for the cyclical processing of a large number of products, effectively improving space utilization and baking efficiency.
[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
