The driving device drives the chute 2 to rotate relative to the frame 4 before the material frame 1 during the ascending process, and the chute 2 rotates before the material frame 1 rotates to pour the food. The chute 2 tilts and extends into the first opening 80 of the drum 81 of the tumbler 8, forming an inclined slide for the food leaving the material frame 1. After the food is poured out of the material frame 1, it slides downward along the inclined chute 2 and enters the inclined tumbler 8 from the first opening 80.

[0035] Preferably, when the material frame 1 is located at the bottom of the rack 4, the first guide wheel 31 is located at the rear side and the upper side of the second guide wheel 32, as shown in Figure 2 The positions of the first guide wheel 31, the first guide rail 41, the second guide wheel 32 and the second guide rail 42 are set so that the sliding material chute 2 rotates before the material frame 1. The sliding material chute 2 is extended into the drum 81 before the material frame 1 is tilted, and an inclined chute is formed before the food is poured, which avoids the loss of food during pouring. If the sliding material chute 2 is not used and only the material frame 1 is used, the food begins to slide during the process of the material frame 1 being tilted and inserted into the drum 81, which causes the food to easily slide out of the material frame 1 before being inserted into the drum 81, resulting in food loss.

The connecting box 45 shields the equipment such as the driving shaft 54 and strengthens the structure of the upper ends of the two racks 4 to reduce deformation.

[0042] Preferably, the opening area of the sliding material chute 2 close to the material frame 1 is greater than the opening area away from the material frame 1, the sliding material chute 2 is formed with a side opening 20, when the material frame 1 is located at the bottom of the rack 4, the material frame 1 is inserted into the inside of the sliding material chute 2 from the side opening 20, and when food is poured into the material frame 1, the sliding material chute 2 shields the space on the back side and the left and right sides above the opening of the material frame 1, reducing the liquid splashed outwards when the food enters the material frame 1.

[0043] More preferably, it further comprises a reinforcing plate 21, the reinforcing plate 21 is fixedly connected with the sliding material chute 2 at both ends in the side opening 20 to strengthen the strength of the sliding material chute 2.

[0044] Preferably, the base 6, the rotating disc 43 and the third motor 65 are further included, the lower ends of the two racks 4 on the left and right sides are fixedly connected with the rotating disc 43, the rotating disc 43 is rotationally connected with the base 6, and the third motor 65 drives the rotating disc 43 to rotate.

[0045] Preferably, the plurality of walking wheels 61 and the second motor 62 are further included, the base 6 is rotationally connected with the plurality of walking wheels 61, the second motor 62 is fixedly connected with the base 6, and the second motor 62 drives the walking wheels 61 to rotate.

[0047] Working principle: When loading food, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the material frame 1 is located at the bottom of the rack 4, and the material frame 1 or the material frame 11 is in contact with the rack 4 or the ground. At this time, the height of the material frame 1 is the lowest, and food can be manually loaded into the material frame 1 by the staff or conveyed into the material frame 1 by the conveyor. At this time, the sliding material chute 2 is erected and located at the rear side of the material frame 1, and the material frame 1 is loaded from the front side.

[0048] After the material frame 1 is loaded with a specified amount of food, the first motor 51 drives the sprocket 52 to rotate, the sprocket 52 drives the chain 53 to move upwards, and the chain 53 drives the moving block 12 to move linearly upwards.

[0049] The first guide wheel 31 and the second guide wheel 32 first move upwards synchronously along the vertical part of the corresponding guide rail, and then the first guide wheel 31 enters the horizontal part earlier than the second guide wheel 32. When the second guide wheel 32 moves linearly in the horizontal part and the first guide wheel 31 moves linearly in the vertical part, the mounting plate 3 rotates around the rotation axis of the material frame 1 (coaxial with the rotation axis of the first guide wheel 31), so that the sliding material chute 2 rotates backwards, as shown in Figure 3 Since the first opening 80 of the roller 81 is inclined upward, after the sliding material chute 2 completes the backward rotation, the end of the sliding material chute 2 away from the material frame 1 is inserted into the first opening 80.

[0050] Then, the moving block 12 continues to move upwards, and when the first guide wheel 31 moves into the circular corner between the horizontal part and the vertical part of the first guide rail 41, the material frame 1 rotates around the connecting shaft 14 as the rotation axis. With the first guide wheel 31 and the second guide wheel 32 moving linearly in the horizontal part, the sliding material chute 2 moves linearly backwards, as shown inFigure 4 As shown, the depth of the chute 2 extending rearward into the first opening 80 is deeper than when the feed frame 1 is not rotating. This prevents food from leaving the chute 2 without entering the drum 81, thereby reducing food contamination and loss during the production process. After the first guide wheel 31 completes its horizontal movement, the feed frame 1 rotates more than 90 degrees, tilting the previously upward opening of the feed frame 1 downward, allowing the food in the feed frame 1 to slide down the inner wall of the feed frame 1 under the force of gravity into the chute 2.

[0051] like Figure 10 As shown, food (not shown) flows along the chute 2 from the first opening 80 of the drum 81 of the tumbler 8 into the interior of the drum 81. After all the food in the material frame 1 has left the chute 2, the first motor 51 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the chain 53 to move. The chain 53 then drives the moving block 12 downward until the material frame 1 returns to the bottom of the frame 4.

[0052] Cover 82 seals first opening 80, and a motor, secured to rotating frame 84, drives drum 81 to rotate and knead the food inside. Because tumbler 8 kneads for a relatively long time, after loading one tumbler 8, the travel wheels 61 rotate, driving base 6 to move the loader to another tumbler awaiting loading. One loader can accommodate multiple tumblers 8, improving loader utilization and reducing equipment costs.

[0053] When unloading the tumbled food, after the tumbling machine 8 completes the tumbling operation, the cover 82 is opened, and the hydraulic cylinder 85 drives the rotating frame 84 on which the roller 81 is installed to rotate relative to the fixed frame 83, and the first opening 80 faces downward to pour out the tumbled food in the roller 81.

[0054] When the turntable 43 is not in use, the food is poured into a pre-placed container. The running wheels 61 drive the base 6 to move, thereby preventing the feeder from occupying the space for placing the container in front of the tumbler 8.

[0055] Example 2: like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment provides a loading and unloading device using the tumbler loader described in Example 1, and also includes a feed conveyor 91, a first funnel 92, a first unloading device 93, a discharging conveyor 94, a second funnel 95 and a second unloading device 96. The first funnel 92 is located below the end of the feed conveyor 91, and the lower end of the first funnel 92 is fixedly connected and communicated with the first unloading device 93. The lower end of the first unloading device 93 is higher than the opening of the material frame 1 when the material frame 1 is located at the bottom of the frame 4. The second funnel 95 is located above the end of the discharging conveyor 94, and the lower end of the second funnel 95 is fixedly connected and communicated with the second unloading device 96. The second unloading device 96 is lower than the opening of the slide trough 2 located at the top of the frame 4 and away from the material frame 1 after rotation.

[0056] Preferably, the track 7 is fixedly connected with the ground, and the track 7 is a straight track.

[0057] More preferably, the track 7 is fixedly connected with the ground, and the track 7 is a straight track.

[0058] Preferably, the first discharging device 93 and the second discharging device 96 are star-shaped dischargers. It should be noted that the first discharging device 93 and the second discharging device 96 can be any discharger that can close and open the lower end of the funnel.

[0059] Preferably, the second driving device (not shown in the figure) is arranged to drive the first funnel 92 to move in the front-rear direction.

[0060] More preferably, the second driving device is a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0061] Working principle: When loading food, the food produced in the previous production process is carried and transported by the feeding conveyor 91. The food falls off the feeding conveyor 91 and enters the first funnel 92. The first discharging device 93 is opened, and the food in the first funnel 92 falls through the first discharging device 93 and enters the inside of the frame 1.

[0062] When the frame 1 is full, the first discharging device 93 closes the opening below the first funnel 92.

[0063] When the first funnel 92 and the rolling machine are in the same straight line in the front-rear direction, the second driving device drives the first funnel 92 to move forward, so that the first discharging device 93 is away from above the frame 1, avoiding the first discharging device 93 blocking the upward movement of the frame 1. After the first funnel 92 moves forward to the front side, the opening above the first funnel 92 is always located below the end of the feeding conveyor 91 to accept the food continuously transported by the feeding conveyor 91 and stored in the inside of the first funnel 92. After the frame 1 finishes feeding the rolling drum 81 and returns to the bottom of the machine frame 4, the second driving device drives the first funnel 92 to reset backward, so that the first discharging device 93 is above the frame 1. Then the first discharging device 93 is opened, and the food falls from the first funnel 92 through the first discharging device 93 and enters the frame 1. In this process, the opening above the first funnel 92 is always located below the end of the feeding conveyor 91. This cycle is repeated several times until the food transported by the frame 1 is fed into the specified amount of food in the rolling drum 81.

[0064] When the first hopper 92 and the tumbling machine are staggered left and right, the feeding machine moves along the track 7 from below the first discharging device 93 to the front side of the tumbling machine that needs to be loaded. After the food in the frame 1 is poured, the first hopper 92 and the tumbling machine 8 are continuously fed until the food transported by the frame 1 is loaded into the specified amount of food in the drum 81.

[0065] When the food is unloaded after the tumbling is completed, the feeding machine moves along the track to the discharging conveyor 94 when the tumbling machine 8 and the discharging conveyor 94 are not located in the same straight line in the front and rear directions. The third motor 65 drives the gear 66 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disc 43 to rotate by 180 degrees. After the rotation is completed, the first opening 80 of the drum 81 is located below the frame 1 as shown by the feeding machine on the right side in the middle. Figure 12 The cover 82 is opened, the hydraulic cylinder 85 drives the rotating frame 84, on which the drum 81 is installed, to rotate relative to the fixed frame 83, and the first opening 80 faces downward to pour the food in the drum 81 that is tumbled to completion into the frame 1. Then, the drum 81 is rotated to reset, so that the first opening 80 is inclined upward.

[0066] After the feeding machine moves to the discharging conveyor 94, the frame 1 is moved upward and then rotated to pour the food, and the tumbled food falls into the second hopper 95 through the sliding chute 2. The second hopper 95 stores the food, and the second discharging device 96 is opened to output the food to the discharging conveyor 94 at a specified rate. The food falls on the discharging conveyor 94 above the second discharging device 96 and is taken away by the discharging conveyor 94 to the next production process away from the second discharging device 96. When the second discharging device 96 is a star-shaped discharger, the impeller rotates at a specified speed according to the specified rate.

[0067] After the pouring is completed, the frame 1 is reset downward, the feeding machine moves back to the front side of the tumbling machine 8, and the hydraulic cylinder 85 drives the first opening 80 of the drum 81 to be inclined downward again to fill the frame 1 again. The feeding machine moves back and forth between the tumbling machine 8 and the discharging conveyor 94 several times until the tumbled food in the drum 81 is completely removed from the inside of the drum 81.

[0068] The number of tumbling machines 8 can be multiple, and the multiple tumbling machines 8 are arranged in a straight line along the track 7. When the tumbling machines 8 tumble food, the feeding machine does not need to wait in front of the tumbling machine 8, but moves along the track 7 to the tumbling machine 8 that is unloaded and the tumbling machine 8 that is tumbled to completion to load and unload the corresponding tumbling machine 8.

[0069] It should be noted that the number of feeding machines can also be multiple to improve the loading and unloading efficiency.
