Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of noodle production equipment, and in particular to automatic basket separation equipment used in a noodle production line. Background Art

[0002] Under the background of "new consumption, big catering, and big health", the convenience of staple foods has become one of the leading directions of the development of the staple food industry. It is also an important strategy to meet people's demand for the health and convenience of staple foods. As a mainstream convenient staple food, frozen cooked noodles are a new type of noodle product that is made by cooking fresh noodles, quickly freezing and freezing them to keep them in the best edible state and can be eaten after rapid reheating.

[0003] In the production process of frozen cooked noodles, it is necessary to go through processes such as noodle making, cooking, portioning, freezing, and packaging. Since the cooked noodles pressed and cooked by the noodle making machine are automatically divided into portions, and usually multiple portions are produced in one production cycle at the same time, and need to fall into corresponding multiple plastic baskets respectively for subsequent portioning and freezing, a corresponding basket dividing mechanism is required to divide the noodle baskets and supply them to the bottom of the falling hole of the noodle making machine. However, most of the noodle production lines on the existing conventional market use a spiral basket dividing mechanism for single basket dividing, that is, only one noodle basket will fall down each time the basket is divided, and its basket dividing efficiency is low, which cannot well meet the production needs of multiple portions in one production cycle in the existing frozen cooked noodle production process, and will affect the overall production efficiency. In view of this, the applicant conducted in-depth research on this, and thus this case was created. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an automatic basket sorting device for a noodle production line which is convenient for storing multiple groups of stacked noodle baskets at the same time and can realize the automatic basket sorting effect of synchronously dropping and separating multiple noodle baskets. The automatic basket sorting device has high basket sorting efficiency, can well meet existing production needs, and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: an automatic basket sorting device for a noodle production line includes a frame, a basket storage mechanism, and a basket sorting clamping mechanism. The basket storage mechanism and the basket sorting clamping mechanism are arranged and installed on the frame in sequence from top to bottom. A plurality of basket storage cavities open to the upper and lower sides and adapted to the noodle baskets are provided in the basket storage mechanism. The basket storage cavity is used to store a plurality of stacked noodle baskets. The basket sorting clamping mechanism is arranged at the lower opening of the plurality of basket storage cavities. The basket sorting clamping mechanism is used to synchronously support the noodle basket at the bottom in the plurality of basket storage cavities to achieve clamping and to synchronously drive the noodle basket at the bottom in the plurality of basket storage cavities to move downward to achieve separation and basket dropping.

[0006] Furthermore, the storage basket mechanism includes a plurality of storage basket assemblies, and the storage basket assemblies include a plurality of storage basket vertical rods, and the storage basket vertical rods are fixedly mounted on the frame, and the plurality of storage basket vertical rods are arranged in a square shape and a storage basket cavity is formed therein.

[0007] Furthermore, the sub-basket locking mechanism includes a rotation drive device, two rotating shafts and a multi-component basket assembly. The two rotating shafts are arranged in parallel and spaced apart and are both transmission-connected to the rotation drive device. The sub-basket assembly includes two-component basket assemblies that are symmetrically arranged at intervals. A supporting cavity that can accommodate a noodle basket and is used to support the upper edge plate of the noodle basket is formed between the two-component basket assemblies on the sub-basket assembly. The multi-component basket assemblies are provided on the two rotating shafts. The rotation drive device is used to drive the two-component basket assemblies on the sub-basket assembly to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction with the two rotating shafts and to clamp the upper edge plate of the noodle basket during the rotation of the sub-basket assembly to drive the noodle basket to move downward and achieve separation and drop into the basket.

[0008] Furthermore, the sub-basket assembly includes at least one circular sub-basket turntable, and the outer peripheral surface of the sub-basket turntable is provided with at least one sub-basket groove for clamping the upper edge plate of the surface basket.

[0009] Furthermore, the opening of the sub-basket groove gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the sub-basket rotating disk.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a noodle basket station conveying mechanism, which is arranged directly below the basket separation and positioning mechanism and is used to synchronously and intermittently convey multiple noodle baskets after separation and falling into the baskets.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a basket dropping auxiliary mechanism, which includes two basket dropping auxiliary mechanisms installed on the frame and symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the surface basket station conveying mechanism. The basket dropping auxiliary mechanism includes a support plate and a lifting drive component, and the lifting drive component is at least one and is installed on the frame and is used to drive the support plate to lift and lower.

[0012] Furthermore, the basket dropping auxiliary mechanism also includes a plurality of clamping blocks and a plurality of clamping driving components corresponding one by one to the plurality of sub-basket assemblies. The clamping driving components are installed on the support plate and are used to drive the corresponding clamping blocks to move laterally toward or away from one side of the surface basket station conveying mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the basket dropping auxiliary mechanism also includes a flush rod and a flush driving member, and the flush driving member is at least one and is installed on the support plate and is used to drive the flush rod to move laterally toward or away from one side of the surface basket station conveying mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a basket drop detection sensor, a noodle basket conveying detection sensor and a basket presence detection sensor. The basket drop detection sensor is used to detect whether the noodle basket is in place after the noodle basket is separated and placed on the noodle basket station conveying mechanism. The number of basket drop detection sensors is consistent with the number of basket assemblies and corresponds one to one. The basket drop detection sensor is arranged on one side below the supporting cavity. The noodle basket conveying detection sensor is used to detect whether multiple noodle baskets located directly below the basket separation mechanism on the noodle basket station conveying mechanism have been conveyed out. A noodle basket conveying detection sensor is installed on the lifting plate on one side close to the discharge end of the noodle basket station conveying mechanism. The basket presence detection sensor is used to detect whether noodle baskets are stored in the basket storage cavity. The number of basket presence detection sensors is consistent with the number of basket storage cavities and corresponds one to one. The basket presence detection sensor is arranged on one side of the bottom of the basket storage cavity.

[0015] From the above description, it can be seen that the automatic basket separation device for a noodle production line provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] First, by arranging a plurality of storage basket cavities in the storage basket mechanism, it is convenient to store a plurality of groups of stacked noodle baskets at the same time, and at the same time, with the arrangement of the basket separation and positioning mechanism, it is convenient to synchronously hold the noodle baskets at the bottom of the plurality of storage basket cavities to achieve positioning, and make the noodle baskets stably in the storage basket cavities, and when separating the baskets, the basket separation and positioning mechanism can synchronously drive the noodle baskets at the bottom of the plurality of storage basket cavities to move downward, so as to achieve the automatic basket separation effect of synchronously dropping and separating the plurality of noodle baskets, and the basket separation efficiency is high, which can well meet the production demand of multiple portions as one production cycle in the existing frozen cooked noodle production process, and improve the overall production efficiency;

[0017] Second, when in use, the two rotating shafts are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions by the rotating driving device, thereby driving the basket dividing turntables on the two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. During the rotation of the basket dividing turntable, the upper edge plates on the left and right sides of the noodle basket in the supporting cavity will be respectively inserted into the basket dividing grooves of the basket dividing turntable on the rotating shaft on the corresponding side. During the continuous rotation of the basket dividing turntable, the upper edge plate of the noodle basket is clamped by the basket dividing groove and the noodle basket is driven to move downward to achieve separation and falling into the basket. The basket dividing action is performed by adopting the wheel structure of the basket dividing turntable, which has a simple structure, is practical and reliable, and the basket dividing is smooth.

[0018] 3. Through the setting of the basket dropping auxiliary mechanism, when the basket separation mechanism is separating the opposite basket, the lifting drive member can first drive the support plate to rise to approach the basket separation mechanism. In this way, the height difference between the support plate and the basket separation mechanism is smaller, and the noodle basket separated and dropped from the basket separation mechanism can first fall and be supported between the upper ends of the support plates of the two basket dropping auxiliary mechanisms, and then, the support plate is driven down by the lifting drive member, and multiple noodle baskets are directly and synchronously brought to the flexible chain conveyor, and are smoothly embedded in the corresponding multiple conveying positioning cavities on the flexible chain conveyor, and ensure that multiple portions of cooked noodles can be accurately dropped into multiple noodle baskets in subsequent processes.

Detailed implementation manners

[0031] The present invention will be further described below through specific implementation manners.

[0032] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, the automatic basket separation equipment for the noodle production line according to the present invention includes a frame 1, a basket storage mechanism 2, and a basket separation and positioning mechanism 3. The basket storage mechanism 2 and the basket separation and positioning mechanism 3 are arranged from top to bottom in sequence and installed on the frame 1. The basket storage mechanism 2 is provided with a plurality of basket storage cavities 22 that are open to the upper and lower sides and are adapted to the face basket 8. The basket storage cavities 22 are used for storing a plurality of the face baskets 8 stacked in layers. The basket separation and positioning mechanism 3 is arranged at the lower opening of the plurality of basket storage cavities 22. The basket separation and positioning mechanism 3 is used to synchronously hold the face baskets 8 at the bottom in the plurality of basket storage cavities 22 to achieve positioning and is used to synchronously drive the face baskets 8 at the bottom in the plurality of basket storage cavities 22 to move downward to achieve separated basket dropping.

[0033] By arranging a plurality of the storage basket cavities 22 in the storage basket mechanism 2, it is convenient to store a plurality of groups of stacked noodle baskets 8 at the same time. At the same time, with the arrangement of the basket separation positioning mechanism 3, it is convenient to synchronously support the noodle basket 8 at the bottom of the plurality of the storage basket cavities 22 to achieve positioning, and make the noodle basket 8 stably in the storage basket cavity 22. When separating the baskets, the basket separation positioning mechanism 3 can synchronously drive the plurality of noodle baskets 8 at the bottom of the storage basket cavities 22 to move downward, so as to achieve the basket separation effect of synchronously separating the plurality of noodle baskets 8 by dropping them into the baskets. The basket separation efficiency is high, which can well meet the production demand of multiple portions in one production cycle in the existing frozen cooked noodles production process, and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0034] Preferably, the noodle basket 8 is a food-grade PP plastic basket.

[0035] The storage basket mechanism 2 includes a plurality of storage basket assemblies, and the storage basket assemblies include a plurality of storage basket vertical rods 21, and the storage basket vertical rods 21 are fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The plurality of storage basket vertical rods 21 are arranged in a U-shape and form the storage basket cavity 22 therein. The structure is simple, which is convenient for stably storing the plurality of stacked noodle baskets 8 and can effectively ensure the smoothness of unloading the noodle baskets 8. Accordingly, at least one storage basket vertical rod 21 is provided on each of the four sides of the storage basket cavity 22 to ensure that the noodle basket 8 can be stably located in the storage basket cavity 22. In addition, a mounting piece is fixedly mounted on the storage basket vertical rod 21, and the mounting piece is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 to achieve a fixed connection between the storage basket vertical rod 21 and the frame 1.

[0036] The sub-basket locking mechanism 3 includes a rotation drive device 31, two rotating shafts 32 and a multi-component basket assembly. The two rotating shafts 32 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart and are both transmission-connected to the rotation drive device 31. The sub-basket assembly includes two groups of basket assemblies 33 that are symmetrically arranged at intervals. A supporting cavity 332 that can accommodate the noodle basket 8 and is used to support the upper edge plate 81 of the noodle basket 8 is formed between the two groups of the sub-basket assemblies 33 on the sub-basket assembly. Multiple groups of the sub-basket assemblies 33 are provided on the two rotating shafts 32. The rotation drive device 31 is used to drive the two groups of the sub-basket assemblies 33 on the sub-basket assembly to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction with the two rotating shafts 32 and to clamp the upper edge plate 81 of the noodle basket 8 during the rotation of the sub-basket assembly 33 to drive the noodle basket 8 to move downward and achieve separation and falling into the basket.

[0037] The sub-basket assembly 33 includes at least one circular sub-basket rotating disk 331 , and at least one sub-basket groove 3311 for clamping the upper edge plate 81 of the surface basket 8 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sub-basket rotating disk 331 .

[0038] When in use, the two rotating shafts 32 are driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions by the rotating driving device 31, thereby driving the sub-basket turntables 331 on the two rotating shafts 32 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. During the rotation of the sub-basket turntables 331, the upper edge plates 81 on the left and right sides of the noodle basket 8 in the supporting cavity 332 are respectively inserted into the sub-basket grooves 3311 of the sub-basket turntable 331 on the rotating shaft 32 on the corresponding side. During the continuous rotation of the sub-basket turntable 331, the upper edge plates 81 of the noodle basket 8 are clamped by the sub-basket grooves 3311 and The noodle basket 8 is driven to move downward to achieve separation and drop into the basket. The wheeled structure of the basket separation turntable 331 is used to perform automatic basket separation. The structure is simple, practical and reliable, and the basket separation is smooth. At the same time, multiple groups of basket separation components 33 are provided on the rotating shaft 32 to form multiple supporting cavities 332 between the two rotating shafts 32, which is convenient for achieving the basket separation effect of synchronously dropping and separating the multiple noodle baskets 8 in each basket separation action. The basket separation efficiency is high, which can well meet the production needs of multiple portions as one production cycle in the existing frozen cooked noodles production process and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0039] The rotation driving device 31 is arranged on the frame 1 , and both ends of the rotation shaft 32 are rotatably mounted on the frame 1 through seat bearings 34 .

[0040] The rotation drive device 31 includes a drive motor 311 and a transmission assembly 312. The drive motor 311 is fixedly installed on the outside of the protective cover 313. The protective cover 313 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The motor shaft of the drive motor 311 is transmission-connected with one end of the two rotating shafts 32 through the transmission assembly 312. The transmission assembly 312 is arranged in the protective cavity of the protective cover 313, thereby providing a certain degree of protection for the transmission assembly 312. Preferably, the transmission assembly 312 is a gear transmission assembly. Accordingly, the gear transmission assembly includes a driving gear, a transition gear and two driven gears. The two The driven gears are respectively fixedly mounted on one end of the two transmission shafts, the driving gear is fixedly mounted on the motor shaft of the driving motor 311, the transition gear is rotatably mounted on the transition shaft through a bearing, and the transition shaft is fixedly mounted on the protective cover 313, one of the driven gears is directly meshed with the driving gear for transmission and the other driven gear is meshed with the driving gear for transmission through the transition gear, thereby, when the driving gear is driven to rotate by the driving motor 311, the two driven gears can be driven to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the synchronous opposite rotation of the two rotating shafts 32.

[0041] The opening of the sub-basket groove 3311 gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the sub-basket turntable 331. Accordingly, one of the side edges of the sub-basket groove 3311 is a radial edge 33111 and coincides with the radial direction of the sub-basket turntable 331. The other side edge of the sub-basket groove 3311 is an inclined edge 33112 and forms an angle with the radial direction of the sub-basket turntable 331. The inclined edge 33112 and the radial edge 33111 are sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the sub-basket turntable 331. The bottom edge of the sub-basket groove 3311 is an arc-shaped transition edge 33113, which is conducive to further ensuring the smooth progress of the sub-basket clamping process.

[0042] The sub-basket turntable 331 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 32 through a mounting seat 36. The mounting seat 36 includes a shaft sleeve 361 and a side plate 362. The side plate 362 is coaxially fixed to one end of the shaft sleeve 361. A mounting hole 3312 is provided in the sub-basket turntable 331 and is sleeved on the shaft sleeve 361 through the mounting hole 3312 and locked and fixed with the side plate 362. The shaft sleeve 361 is locked and fixed on the rotating shaft 32. In this way, it is easy to realize the quick disassembly and assembly between the sub-basket turntable 331 and the rotating shaft 32, and it is convenient to adjust the axial installation position of the sub-basket turntable 331 on the rotating shaft 32.

[0043] The grooved turntable sub-basket positioning mechanism 3 also includes an origin sensing component 35, which is used to control the rotation drive device 31 to drive the sub-basket component 33 to rotate and reset to the origin during initial operation. Accordingly, the origin sensing component 35 includes an origin sensing sensor 351 and an inductive iron sheet 352 inductively matched with the origin sensing sensor 351. The origin sensing sensor 351 is electrically connected to an external electric control system. The origin sensing sensor 351 is an inductive proximity sensor. The origin sensing sensor 351 is fixedly installed on a bracket 353. The bracket 353 is fixedly installed On the outside of the protective cover 313, a through hole 3131 corresponding to the origin sensing sensor 351 is provided on the protective cover 313, and the sensing iron sheet 352 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the transition gear. In this way, when the equipment is initially working, the sub-basket turntable 331 can be rotated under the drive of the basket rotation driving device 31. When the origin sensing sensor 351 senses the sensing iron sheet 352, the sub-basket turntable 331 will stop rotating, so that the sub-basket turntable 331 is in an accurate sub-basket positioning position, so as to facilitate the subsequent smooth sub-basket positioning of the surface basket 8.

[0044] The number of the sub-basket assemblies 33 on the rotating shaft 32 is 2-20 groups and is evenly spaced along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 32. Correspondingly, the number of the sub-basket assemblies 33 on the rotating shaft 32 can be set according to actual production needs, such as 3 groups, 6 groups, 9 groups, 12 groups, and 16 groups. In this embodiment, the number of the sub-basket assemblies is 6 groups, so that it is easy to realize the synchronous separation and falling of 6 surface baskets 8 each time. Each group of the sub-basket assemblies 33 includes 1-3 sub-basket turntables 331. In this embodiment, each group of the sub-basket assemblies 33 includes 2 The dividing basket turntable 331, that is, two dividing basket turntables 331 are provided on both sides of the noodle basket 8. In the process of dividing basket positioning, in order to more stably support the upper edge plate 81 of the noodle basket 8 and make the noodle basket 8 stably in the supporting cavity 332, 1-3 dividing basket grooves 3311 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the dividing basket turntable 331 and are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction thereof. In this embodiment, the number of the dividing basket grooves 3311 is 2. In this way, when the dividing basket turntable 331 rotates half a circle, a dividing basket action can be realized to further improve the dividing basket efficiency.

[0045] The automatic basket separation equipment also includes a flour basket station conveying mechanism 4, which is arranged directly below the basket separation positioning mechanism 3 and is used to synchronously and intermittently convey the multiple flour baskets 8 after separation and falling into the basket. The flour basket station conveying mechanism 4 includes a flexible chain conveyor 41, which is installed on the frame 1 and is located directly below the basket separation positioning mechanism 3. A plurality of evenly spaced conveying positioning blocks 42 are fixedly installed on the outer peripheral surface of the flexible conveying chain of the flexible chain conveyor 41, and a conveying positioning cavity 421 adapted to the flour basket 8 is formed between two adjacent conveying positioning blocks 42. The sub-basket assembly 33 corresponds to the conveying positioning cavity 421 one by one up and down. Accordingly, the longitudinal section of the conveying positioning cavity 421 is an isosceles trapezoidal shape that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, so that the noodle basket 8 can fall into the conveying positioning cavity 421 more smoothly, and can play a corresponding positioning role for the noodle basket 8, so as to improve the stability during transportation, and at the same time, it can effectively avoid the multiple noodle baskets 8 from being squeezed together, reduce the transportation error, and ensure that the multiple falling holes in the subsequent process can correspond one by one to the multiple noodle baskets 8 on the flexible chain conveyor 41, so that the cooked noodles falling from the multiple falling holes can accurately fall into the multiple noodle baskets 8 respectively.

[0046] The automatic basket separation device also includes a basket dropping auxiliary mechanism 5, which is two and is installed on the frame 1 and is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the noodle basket station conveying mechanism 4. The basket dropping auxiliary mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51 and a lifting drive member 52. The support plate 51 is arranged on the lifting drive member 52. The lifting drive member 52 is at least one and is installed on the frame 1 and is used to drive the support plate 51 to lift. Preferably, the number of the lifting drive members 52 is 1-2, and the lifting drive member 52 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. Correspondingly, the support plate 51 is fixedly connected to the piston rod end of the lifting drive member 52. The noodle basket 8 separated and dropped from the basket separation clamping mechanism 3 can first fall and be supported between the upper ends of the support plates 51 of the two basket dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5. There is a certain height difference between the noodle basket station conveying mechanisms 4. When the basket separation mechanism 3 is separating the noodle basket 8, the lifting drive member 52 can first drive the support plate 51 to rise to approach the basket separation mechanism 3. In this way, the height difference between the support plate 51 and the basket separation mechanism 3 is smaller. The noodle basket 8 separated and dropped from the basket separation mechanism 3 can first fall and be supported between the upper ends of the support plates 51 of the two basket dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5, and then, the lifting drive member 52 drives the support plate 51 to descend, and the multiple noodle baskets 8 are directly and synchronously brought to the flexible chain conveyor 41, and are smoothly embedded in the corresponding multiple conveying positioning cavities 421 on the flexible chain conveyor 41, so as to improve the accuracy of the noodle basket 8 falling to the position on the flexible chain conveyor 41.

[0047] The basket drop auxiliary mechanism 5 also includes a plurality of clamping blocks 53 and a plurality of clamping driving members 54 corresponding to the plurality of sub-basket assemblies one by one. The plurality of clamping blocks 53 and the plurality of clamping driving members 54 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the support plate 51. The clamping blocks 53 are arranged on the clamping driving members 54. The clamping driving members 54 are installed on the support plate 51 and are used to drive the corresponding clamping blocks 53 to move laterally toward or away from one side of the surface basket station conveying mechanism 4. The clamping driving member 54 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or The electric push rod, correspondingly, the clamping block 53 is fixedly connected to the piston rod end of the clamping drive member 54, and the multiple clamping blocks 53 on the two basket-dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5 are used to clamp and fix the multiple noodle baskets 8 supported between the upper ends of the support plates 51 of the two basket-dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5 one by one, so that the noodle baskets 8 are more stably located between the upper ends of the support plates 51 of the two basket-dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5. In this way, when the support plate 51 descends, it can more stably and smoothly drive the multiple noodle baskets 8 to descend together.

[0048] The basket drop auxiliary mechanism 5 also includes a flush rod 55 and a flush drive member 56. The flush rod 55 is arranged on the flush drive member 56 and is arranged parallel to the support plate 51. The flush drive member 56 is at least one and is installed on the support plate 51 and is used to drive the flush rod 55 to move laterally toward or away from one side of the surface basket station conveying mechanism 4. Preferably, the flush drive member 56 is 1-2, and the flush drive member 56 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The flush rod 55 is fixedly installed on the connecting member, and the connecting member and the flush drive member 56 are connected. The piston rod end is fixedly connected, and the leveling rods 55 on the two basket dropping auxiliary mechanisms 5 are used to synchronously push and level the multiple noodle baskets 8 on the noodle basket station conveying mechanism 4 and directly below the sub-basket positioning mechanism 3, so as to ensure that the multiple noodle baskets 8 are aligned with each other along the conveying direction of the noodle basket station conveying mechanism 4. In this way, when the noodle basket station conveying mechanism 4 drives the multiple noodle baskets 8 to be conveyed forward synchronously, it can effectively avoid interference between the noodle baskets 8 and the frame 1, and at the same time, it can further ensure the accuracy of the position of the noodle basket 8 on the flexible chain conveyor 41.

[0049] The automatic basket sorting equipment also includes a basket arrival detection sensor 61, a surface basket conveying detection sensor 62 and a basket presence detection sensor 63. The basket arrival detection sensor 61, the surface basket conveying detection sensor 62 and the basket presence detection sensor 63 are electrically connected to an external electric control system.

[0050] Preferably, the basket-in-place detection sensor 61 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, and the basket-in-place detection sensor 61 is used to detect whether the noodle basket 8 is in place after it is separated and dropped onto the noodle basket station conveying mechanism 4. The number of the basket-in-place detection sensors 61 is consistent with the number of the basket-separating assemblies and corresponds one to one. The basket-in-place detection sensor 61 is arranged on one side below the support cavity 332 and is fixedly mounted on the first cross frame 71, and the first cross frame 71 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. In this way, after the noodle basket 8 is separated and dropped, if the basket-in-place detection sensor 61 detects the existence of the noodle basket 8, it means that the noodle basket 8 has not been dropped into place, and the noodle basket 8 may be in a tilted or other state. At this time, an alarm will be generated to remind the production personnel to take timely measures to ensure the smooth progress of the basket separation. After the noodle basket 8 is separated and dropped, if the basket-in-place detection sensor 61 does not detect the existence of the noodle basket 8, it means that the noodle basket 8 has been dropped into place, and the basket separation action will be performed continuously.
