Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transportation, and particularly to a separation and conveying device and method for instant noodle production. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of instant noodles, the separation and conveying device is a crucial link, which undertakes the task of effectively separating the formed instant noodle blocks and stably conveying them to the subsequent packaging process. Currently, most of the existing instant noodle separation and conveying devices use traditional rake nail conveyors for conveying. Such devices have poor separation effects and cannot ensure that each instant noodle block can be accurately and completely separated. It is easy to have adhesion and stacking situations, resulting in difficulties in the subsequent packaging process and affecting production efficiency. Therefore, the patent with publication number CN214452218U discloses an instant noodle block conveying device, which includes a frame. A conveying roller is installed on the frame. The conveying rollers are arranged in pairs and are rotatably connected to the frame. A conveyor belt for conveying instant noodle blocks is sleeved on the conveying roller. A regularizing component is arranged above the conveyor belt on the frame. The regularizing component includes a diversion plate and a baffle. A diversion channel for regularizing and diverting instant noodle blocks is formed between the diversion plate and the baffle. And the width of the diversion channel gradually decreases along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt. The running direction of the diversion channel is the same as the running direction of the conveyor belt. An adjusting mechanism for adjusting the width of the inlet and outlet of the separation channel is also arranged on the frame.

[0003] When the above-mentioned instant noodle block conveying device is in use, after the instant noodle blocks on the conveyor belt are conveyed into the diversion channel, the side walls of the diversion plate and the baffle play a role in guiding and regularizing the instant noodle blocks, making the originally scattered instant noodle blocks evenly arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, which is convenient for the subsequent packaging process. In addition, by adjusting the width of the inlet and outlet of the separation channel through the adjusting mechanism, on the one hand, the separation channel can be adapted to instant noodle blocks of different sizes, and on the other hand, the conveying volume of the instant noodle blocks in the diversion channel can be adjusted according to production requirements, improving the conveying efficiency and effect of the instant noodle blocks.

[0004] When the above-mentioned instant noodle block conveying device is used in cooperation with the existing conveying device, although it can accurately control the separation and conveying of instant noodles, it has certain requirements for the position of the instant noodles placed on the grate frame. The instant noodles need to be placed within the range of the rake nail conveyor belt. If it exceeds the conveying range of the rake nails, it cannot be conveyed. If the instant noodles are exactly above the rotation of the rake nails, the instant noodles will be lifted and smashed on the grate, causing the instant noodles to break. In addition, it also has certain requirements for the angle of the instant noodles. The corners of the instant noodles may get stuck between two adjacent rake nails, which will cause the instant noodles to be conveyed obliquely. The instant noodles exceed the silicone toothed plate, and the rotation of the silicone toothed plate will crush the instant noodles.

[0005] Therefore, a new type of separation and conveying device for instant noodle production can be adopted to solve the deficiencies of the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the clamping member includes a clamping cylinder fixedly mounted on the slider. A sliding ring adapted to the instant noodle is slidably mounted on the clamping cylinder.

[0016] The present invention also provides a separation and conveying method for instant noodle production, including the separation and conveying device for instant noodle production as described above, and further including the following steps: S1. First, place the instant noodles on the grate of the feeding unit so that the instant noodles are located between the cross rail and the first conveying unit. Then, tilt and correct the instant noodles on the grate through the correction component. During the correction process, due to the different positions of the instant noodles, it is necessary to drive the bracket to move through the moving component, thereby driving the correction component to move to correct the instant noodles at different positions. S2. After the instant noodles are corrected, use the pushing assembly on the cross rail to convey the instant noodles within the conveying range of the rake nails on the feeding unit. Drive the chain one and the chain two to rotate through the driving unit.

[0018] 2. When the present separation and conveying device conveys instant noodles, a pushing component is provided to push the instant noodles placed outside the transmission range of the rake nails into the transmission range of the rake nails. This not only improves the conveying efficiency of the instant noodles, avoids the residue of the instant noodles, but also avoids the instant noodles being lifted by the rotating rake nails and falling onto the grate, effectively ensuring the integrity of the instant noodles.

[0019] 3. When the present separation and conveying device conveys instant noodles, a sliding ring that can rotate with the rotating frame is provided to clamp the instant noodles, and a support plate with a variable position is provided in the limiting cylinder, which can support the bottom of the instant noodles at the moment when the instant noodles are clamped, avoiding the instant noodles falling from the sliding ring, and at the same time reducing the clamping force of the sliding ring on the instant noodles, thereby reducing the probability of the instant noodles being crushed.

[0020] In summary, when the present invention conveys instant noodles, by adopting pushing, supporting and angle conversion, the instant noodles are conveyed neatly, which can effectively reduce the probability of the instant noodles being lifted and smashed by the rake nails and being crushed by the silica gel tooth plate, and ensure the integrity of the instant noodles during the conveying process.

Specific implementation manners

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1 - 6 , a separation and conveying device for instant noodle production, including a first transmission unit 2, a second transmission unit 3, a sorting unit 4, and also including a feeding unit 1; The first transmission unit 2 includes a first chain and a plurality of rake nails 6 fixedly installed on the first chain. The second transmission unit 3 includes a second chain and a plurality of silica gel tooth plates 8 fixedly installed on the second chain. The first transmission unit 2 and the second transmission unit 3 are jointly driven by a drive unit 5.

[0025] The drive unit 5 is an existing drive structure, which is composed of a motor and a belt. The motor drives the belt to rotate, thereby driving the first chain and the second chain to rotate. Since it is a common structure, the specific connection method and transmission direction thereof will not be specifically described here; Among them, the rotation direction of the first chain on the first transmission unit 2 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second chain on the second transmission unit 3. As Figure 5 shown, the first chain rotates clockwise and the second chain rotates counterclockwise; The rake nails 6 push the instant noodles into the second transmission unit 3, and then the rotating silica gel tooth plates 8 drive the instant noodles into the sorting unit 4 for sorting; The sorting unit 4 is an existing decomposition mechanism, which can automatically screen the instant noodles according to the shape and color of the instant noodles.

[0026] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and the technical solution of Embodiment 1 lies in: Refer to Figures 7 - 19 ; Refer to Figures 7 - 12 , the feeding unit 1 includes two longitudinal rails 9 and a transverse rail 10 slidably installed on the two longitudinal rails 9. A bracket 16 is slidably installed on the transverse rail 10, and the bracket 16 is driven by a moving component 11 between the transverse rail 10; A power component 12 is installed at both ends of the transverse rail 10. The two power components 12 cooperate with the corresponding longitudinal rails 9 to drive the transverse rail 10 to move back and forth on the longitudinal rails 9; The power component 12 is an existing mechanism, which can drive the transverse rail 10 to reciprocate on the longitudinal rail 9. Since it is a common mechanism, it will not be specifically described here.

[0027] The moving component 11 includes a first motor 17 fixedly installed on the bracket 16. A toothed disk is fixedly installed on the driving end of the first motor 17, and a rack meshing with the toothed disk is fixedly installed on the cross rail 10. The driving end of the first motor 17 rotates to drive the toothed disk fixedly connected thereto to rotate. Under the action of the rack, the bracket 16 will be driven to move on the cross rail 10. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driving end of the first motor 17, the moving direction of the bracket 16 can be controlled to realize the reciprocating movement of the bracket 16.

[0028] Refer to Figures 12 - 13 , a support frame 20 is installed on the bracket 16 through a lifting mechanism; The lifting mechanism includes a second motor 18 fixedly installed on the bracket 16. A gear 22 is fixedly installed on the driving end of the second motor 18. A sliding rail 19 is slidably installed on the bracket 16, and a toothed plate 21 meshing with the gear 22 is fixedly installed on the sliding rail 19. A fixed connection is provided between the support frame 20 and the sliding rail 19; When the second motor 18 is started, the driving end of the second motor 18 rotates to drive the gear 22 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving the toothed plate 21 meshing with the gear 22 to move. The movement of the toothed plate 21 drives the sliding rail 19 fixedly connected thereto to move up and down, thereby driving the support frame 20 to move up and down (the up and down directions here refer to Figure 13 ), and if the sliding rail 19 is to move up and down, the rotation direction of the driving end of the second motor 18 needs to be controlled.

[0029] Refer to Figures 11 - 19 , a correction component 13 is installed on the support frame 20 for correcting the inclined instant noodles; The correction component 13 includes a transverse plate 23 fixedly installed on the support frame 20. A rotating frame 24 is rotatably installed on the transverse plate 23. A plurality of first permanent magnets 28 are fixedly installed on the rotating frame 24, and a vision sensor 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating frame 24. A transmission mechanism 27 cooperating with the plurality of first permanent magnets 28 is installed on the transverse plate 23; By providing the correction component 13, the instant noodles placed on the grate 7 are corrected so that the instant noodles always enter the first conveyor unit 2 horizontally, which can effectively avoid crushing the instant noodles when the silicone toothed plate 8 rotates.

[0030] The vision sensor 29 can sense the orientation of the instant noodles. Once the instant noodles are inclined, the vision sensor 29 will transmit a signal to make the rotating frame 24 rotate, and cooperate with the clamping member 26 below to change the direction of the instant noodles so that the instant noodles are neatly arranged.

[0031] The transmission mechanism 27 includes a square block slidably mounted on the transverse plate 23. Two cylinders are fixedly mounted on the square block. Two sliding grooves are formed on the transverse plate 23 and are matched with the corresponding cylinders. A motor 30 is fixedly mounted on the square block. The driving end of the motor 30 penetrates through the square block, and a rotating disk 31 is fixedly mounted on the driving end of the motor 30. A plurality of second permanent magnets 32 matched with the first permanent magnets 28 are fixedly mounted on the rotating disk 31. A through hole matched with the driving end of the motor 30 is formed on the transverse plate 23. Start the motor 30. The rotation of the driving end of the motor 30 drives the rotating disk 31 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 31 drives the plurality of second permanent magnets 32 to rotate. The second permanent magnets 32 will drive the rotating frame 24 to rotate through the suction force between the second permanent magnets 32 and the first permanent magnets 28, so as to change the angle of the rotating frame 24. The instant noodles are clamped on the rotating frame 24, so as to change the angle of the instant noodles.

[0032] A clamping plate 33 engaged with one of the cylinders is slidably mounted on the side of the transverse plate 23. The clamping plate 33 is fixed to the transverse plate 23 through a bolt 34.

[0033] By moving the position of the clamping plate 33 to change the distance between the first permanent magnet 28 and the second permanent magnet 32, and locking the clamping plate 33 through the bolt 34. The position of the clamping plate 33 is fixed, the position of the cylinder is locked, so the position of the square block is locked, and the position between the first permanent magnet 28 and the second permanent magnet 32 is locked. In this way, the suction force between the first permanent magnet 28 and the second permanent magnet 32 can be controlled to protect the instant noodles. The surface of the instant noodles is rough, and some parts of the noodles protrude more and will be stuck between the adjacent grids 7, which will cause the instant noodles to not rotate. At this time, if a mechanical transmission structure is used to drive the rotating frame 24 to rotate, the protruding parts of the instant noodles will be broken and fall off, and seriously, the instant noodle cake will be broken. Therefore, the transmission of the first permanent magnet 28 and the second permanent magnet 32 is set to control the torque of the rotation. Once the instant noodles are stuck, the instant noodles will prevent the rotating frame 24 from rotating. At this time, relative rotation will occur between the first permanent magnet 28 and the second permanent magnet 32.

[0034] A two-way telescopic electric push rod 25 is fixedly mounted on the rotating frame 24. Two groups of clamping members 26 are slidably mounted on the rotating frame 24 through sliders. The two telescopic ends of the electric push rod 25 are fixedly connected to the corresponding sliders. Start the electric push rod 25. The electric push rod 25 drives the slider to move, thereby driving the clamping member 26 to move, and clamping the instant noodles through the clamping member 26.

[0035] The clamping member 26 includes a clamping cylinder 35 fixedly mounted on the slider. A sliding ring 36 matched with the instant noodles is slidably mounted on the clamping cylinder 35. A limiting cylinder 37 is fixedly mounted on the sliding ring 36. A supporting plate 38 matched with the instant noodles is slidably mounted in the limiting cylinder 37. A reset structure is installed between the sliding ring 36 and the clamping cylinder 35. Lower the clamping cylinder 35 through the above-mentioned lifting mechanism so that the sliding ring 36 on the clamping cylinder 35 aligns with the instant noodles. At this time, there is still a certain distance between the bottom of the clamping cylinder 35 and the grate 7, which can allow the support plate 38 to be inserted; The electric push rod 25 will drive the two clamping cylinders 35 to move towards the side close to each other, so that the two sliding rings 36 clamp the instant noodles; If the instant noodles are stuck between the two grates 7 at this time and the rotating frame 24 cannot rotate, the lifting mechanism needs to be started at this time to lift the clamped instant noodles upward to separate the instant noodles from the grate 7, and then drive the rotating frame 24 to rotate through the motor 30 to change the angle of the instant noodles.

[0036] The reset structure includes a semi-circular fixed ring fixedly installed on the clamping cylinder 35, and a plurality of first reset springs 39 are fixedly installed between the fixed ring and the sliding ring 36; A second wedge block 41 is fixedly installed on the support plate 38, and a first wedge block 40 that cooperates with the second wedge block 41 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the clamping cylinder 35. A plurality of second reset springs 42 are fixedly installed between the support plate 38 and the limiting cylinder 37.

[0037] Since the instant noodles have a certain weight, relying solely on the clamping of the sliding ring 36 to lift the instant noodles requires a certain clamping force. And the instant noodles are relatively brittle, so once the clamping force is too high, the instant noodles will be broken, and if the clamping force is too small, the instant noodles will fall off between the two sliding rings 36. Therefore, in order to use a smaller clamping force, it is necessary to support the bottom of the instant noodles. The specific operation is as follows: When the instant noodles are clamped and lifted by the sliding ring 36, at this time, under the action of gravity, the sliding ring 36 will move downward, and the downward movement of the sliding ring 36 will drive the limiting cylinder 37 to move downward, thereby driving the support plate 38 to move downward. A relative displacement will occur between the second wedge block 41 on the support plate 38 and the first wedge block 40 on the clamping cylinder 35, generating a thrust, which will drive the support plate 38 to slide within the limiting cylinder 37, so that the bottom of the support plate 38 extends out to support the bottom of the instant noodles. After placing the instant noodles on the grate 7, the first reset spring 39 will reset the sliding ring 36, and at the same time, the second reset spring 42 will reset the support plate 38.

[0038] By setting the sliding ring 36 that can rotate with the rotating frame 24 to clamp the instant noodles, and setting a support plate 38 whose position can be changed within the limiting cylinder 37, it can support the bottom of the instant noodles at the moment when the instant noodles are picked up, prevent the instant noodles from falling off the sliding ring 36, and at the same time reduce the clamping force of the sliding ring 36 on the instant noodles, thereby reducing the probability of the instant noodles being crushed.

[0039] A pushing component that cooperates with the correction component 13 is installed on the horizontal rail 10. The pushing component includes a pushing plate 14 fixedly installed at the bottom of the horizontal rail 10 and cooperating with the convenient surface. A plurality of triangular guiding plates 15 are fixedly installed on the pushing plate 14; After the corrected instant noodles are placed on the grate 7, the power component 12 is started to drive the horizontal rail 10 to move. The pushing plate 14 on the horizontal rail 10 will abut against the convenient surface to push the instant noodles to move, and under the action of the guiding plates 15, the instant noodles are arranged at equal intervals on the grate 7 (when the pushing plate 14 pushes the instant noodles, the instant noodles will be stuck between the two guiding plates 15); By setting the pushing component, the instant noodles placed outside the transmission range of the rake nails 6 are pushed into the transmission range of the rake nails 6. This can not only improve the conveying efficiency of the instant noodles, avoid the residue of the instant noodles, but also prevent the instant noodles from being lifted by the rotating rake nails 6 and falling onto the grate 7, resulting in the breakage of the instant noodles, effectively ensuring the integrity of the instant noodles.

[0040] The specific operation steps of this device are as follows: First, place the instant noodles on the grate 7 of the feeding unit 1 so that the instant noodles are located between the horizontal rail 10 and the first transmission unit 2. Then, the visual sensor 29 senses the inclination of the instant noodles. Once the inclined instant noodles are sensed, a signal is transmitted to the second motor 18. The driving end of the second motor 18 rotates to drive the gear 22 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, thereby driving the rack 21 engaged with the gear 22 to move. The movement of the rack 21 drives the sliding rail 19 fixedly connected thereto to move downward, thereby driving the support frame 20 to move downward; Then, the electric push rod 25 is started. The electric push rod 25 drives the slider to move, thereby driving the sliding ring 36 to move, so that the sliding ring 36 clamps the instant noodles. Then, the motor 30 is started. The driving end of the motor 30 rotates to drive the rotating disk 31 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 31 drives a plurality of second permanent magnets 32 to rotate. The second permanent magnets 32 will drive the rotating frame 24 to rotate through the suction force with the first permanent magnet 28, so as to change the angle of the rotating frame 24, so as to change the angle of the instant noodles. After the angle is changed, the second motor 18 and the electric push rod 25 are operated in reverse to separate the sliding ring 36 from the instant noodles; If the instant noodles get stuck between the two grates 7, after clamping the instant noodles at this time, the electric push rod 25 continues to hold, and the second motor 18 reverses to clamp and lift the instant noodles to separate them from the grates 7. When the instant noodles are clamped and lifted by the sliding ring 36, due to gravity, the sliding ring 36 will move downward at this time. The downward movement of the sliding ring 36 drives the limiting cylinder 37 to move downward, thereby driving the support plate 38 to move downward. A relative displacement will occur between the second wedge block 41 on the support plate 38 and the first wedge block 40 on the clamping cylinder 35, generating a thrust, which will drive the support plate 38 to slide within the limiting cylinder 37, causing the bottom of the support plate 38 to extend to support the bottom of the instant noodles. Then, the motor 30 is used to change the angle of the instant noodles. Subsequently, after placing the instant noodles on the grates 7, the first return spring 39 will reset the sliding ring 36, and at the same time, the second return spring 42 will reset the support plate 38; After the instant noodles are corrected, the power assembly 12 drives the cross rail 10 to move. The pushing assembly on the cross rail 10 conveys the instant noodles within the conveying range of the rake nails 6 on the feeding unit 1. The driving unit 5 drives the first chain and the second chain to rotate. The rotation of the first chain drives the rake nails 6 to rotate, and conveys the instant noodles on the grates 7 into the second conveying unit 3; The silica gel tooth plate 8 on the second conveying unit 3 will rotate together with the second chain, convey the instant noodles into the sorting unit 4 for screening the instant noodles, and finally package the screened instant noodles.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
