Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing machinery, in particular to a conveying structure for steamed bun conveying belt. BACKGROUND

[0002] The conveying structure for steamed bun conveying belt is an automatic conveying system specially designed for the production process of steamed buns, and its core function is to stably convey raw buns or finished steamed buns in a high-temperature and humid environment, while ensuring the integrity of the product shape and hygiene standards.

[0003] In the current automatic conveying device for steamed food, the cleaning of the conveying belt mainly relies on high-pressure water impact, fixed scraper scraping or periodic manual brushing, and its core maintenance logic relies on the directional injection of external medium or contact-type physical scraping, combined with fixed-frequency intermittent shutdown cleaning, through passive cleaning or periodic manual intervention to try to maintain hygiene. However, this mode of external passive cleaning combined with static periodic intervention has inherent cleaning dead zones and a core technical bottleneck of missing dynamic online cleaning ability, which makes it difficult to match the actual cleaning effect and the microbial level hygiene standard required by high-end food manufacturing. This contradiction is sharply magnified in the continuous production conditions of high temperature and high humidity. In the conveying belt bearing surface area, the traditional scraper cannot touch the contact interface of the supporting roller, forming a longitudinal through sanitary cleaning blind area. The residual flour and stuffing oil in this area carbonize and bond in the humid environment, becoming an absolute breeding ground for microorganisms, which leads to an increase in the risk of product microbial indicators exceeding the standard. In the return surface area of the conveying belt, the static arrangement of the spray and scraper can only handle surface dust, and the cleaning efficiency of stubborn residues in the deep mesh hinge point and chain plate gap is greatly reduced, and the cleaning degree presents a gradual decay trend, which cannot meet the requirements of no dead angle and hygiene compliance.

The profile curve of the two cam tracks 702 forms a continuous concave section and a convex section, and the two cam tracks 702 are used to generate a variable-diameter timing reference. The two tapered shaft cores 708 are used to transmit axial force. The two groups of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709 are used to change the diameter size in the radial expansion and contraction. The two end covers 714 are used to stabilize the variable-diameter movement of the two groups of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709. (A light reset spring (not shown in the figure) can be arranged between the bottom of each group of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709 and the end cover 714 to ensure that the wedge block can be quickly and reliably reset in the radial direction after the tapered shaft core 708 is withdrawn.) As shown in Figure 16 The cleaning assembly 800 comprises a scraper 803 and a group of drainage grooves 804. The scraper 803 is used to remove residual adhesives.

[0021] The embodiment is mainly aimed at the current automatic conveying device for steaming of noodles, the cleaning of the conveying belt 500 mainly depends on high-pressure water impact, fixed scraper 803 scraping or regular shutdown manual brushing, the core maintenance logic depends on the directional injection of external medium or contact physical scraping, combined with fixed frequency intermittent shutdown cleaning, passive cleaning or periodic manual intervention is tried to maintain hygiene, however, this mode of external passive cleaning combined with static periodic intervention has inherent cleaning dead zone and dynamic online cleaning ability missing core technical bottleneck, which leads to the difficulty in matching the actual cleaning effect and the microbial level hygiene standard required by high-end food manufacturing, the contradiction is sharply enlarged in the continuous production condition of high temperature and high humidity, in the conveying belt 500 bearing area, the traditional scraper 803 cannot touch the contact interface of the supporting roller, forming a longitudinal through health cleaning blind area, the residual noodles and stuffing oil in the wet and hot environment carbonize and bond, becoming an absolute breeding ground for microorganisms, resulting in product microbial index exceeding the standard and significantly increasing the risk, in the conveying belt 500 return area, the static arrangement of the spray and the scraper 803 can only deal with the surface dust, the cleaning efficiency of the stubborn residues in the deep mesh hinge point and the chain plate gap is greatly reduced, and the cleaning degree presents a gradual attenuation trend, which cannot meet the health compliance requirements of no dead angle.

[0022] The embodiment is completed to solve the problems of the prior art. By the cooperation of the dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700 and the cleaning assembly 800, compared with the prior art, the online eradication of the cleaning dead angle of the steamed-bun conveying belt 500 in the continuous operation process and the whole-cycle hygiene guarantee are realized. Unlike the traditional passive flushing relying on high-pressure water and the lag scheme of intermittent scraping by the fixed scraper 803, the cleaning operation of the high-end food conveying belt 500 is more thorough and efficient. First, the cam track 702 synchronous gear chain 701 transmission structure cooperates with the flexible graphite matrix, breaks through the bottleneck of the mismatch between the traditional cleaning device and the conveying belt 500 operation tempo, realizes the strict mechanical synchronization of the cleaning instruction, ensures that the cleaning action can always accurately correspond to the target cleaning interval under different running speeds and different load conditions, and at the same time, through the precise displacement conversion of the bearing wheel 728 and the pressing rod 727, the expansion and contraction of the variable-diameter roller and the advance and retreat of the cleaning assembly 800 are always linked, which avoids the limitation that the fixed spraying cannot reach the contact blind area and prevents resource waste and equipment wear caused by indiscriminate continuous cleaning. Secondly, the multi-roller alternate support and the two-way drive design of the conical shaft core 708 of the dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700 break through the limitation that the traditional cleaning must be intervened in shutdown, through the guidance of the pulley 712 and the end cover 714 and the radial linkage of the arc plate 710 and the wedge block 709, a temporary cleaning space is periodically generated below the running conveying belt 500, the hygiene dead angle hidden by the supported roller is fully exposed, and the precise cutting of the telescopic scraper 803 and the integrated spray is matched, forming effective cleaning treatment, so that manual brushing without relying on frequent shutdown can solve the inherent contradiction that hygiene quality and production efficiency cannot be reconciled in continuous production.

[0023] According to Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, the top of the two feet 100 is bolted to two racks 200, and the outer walls of the two racks 200 are respectively connected to a driving roller 300 and a driven roller 400. One side of the outer wall of one of the racks 200 is bolted to a servo motor 600, the outer surfaces of the driving roller 300 and the driven roller 400 are rotatably connected to a conveying belt 500, and the inner surface of the driving roller 300 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the power output shaft of the servo motor 600.

[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, both the two supporting legs 100 are made of 304 stainless steel material, which can stably support the weight of the entire conveying structure and avoid shaking of the equipment during high-frequency operation, secondly, the rack 200 as the core installation reference is fixed with the supporting legs 100 through bolts, which is not only convenient to disassemble and assemble, but also can be quickly disassembled and cleaned during subsequent maintenance, which can effectively adapt to the hygiene requirements of the food processing scene, and the servo motor 600 directly drives the driving roller 300 to rotate, and then drives the driven roller 400 to rotate synchronously through the friction force between the driving roller 300 and the conveying belt 500, which can ensure the stable running speed of the conveying belt 500 and avoid the steamed buns from tilting and stacking due to uneven speed during the conveying process, and the direct connection between the driving roller 300 and the servo motor 600 reduces the intermediate transmission loss, so that the power transmission is more efficient, which is suitable for the continuous high-intensity operation requirements of the steamed bun production line.

[0025] According to Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, the dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700 further comprises two tooth chains 701, a center shaft 705, two fixed plates 717, and two second guide sleeves 731, and the two tooth chains 701 are used to transmit the rotary motion of the driving roller 300 to the annular cam track 702, the inner walls of the two tooth chains 701 are meshed and connected with two gears 703, the inner surfaces of the two gears 703 are rotatably connected with the outer surface of the power output shaft of the servo motor 600, the inner surfaces of the other two gears 703 are rotatably connected with the outer surface of the rotating shaft of the driven roller 400, and the top of each of the two cam tracks 702 is connected with a group of thin metal sheets 704, and the two thin metal sheets 704 are used to strengthen the wear resistance and scratch resistance of the surfaces of the two groups of cam tracks 702.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, the tooth chain 701 and the gear 703 adopt meshing transmission, which can completely avoid the problem of slipping compared with the traditional belt transmission, so that the rotary speed of the cam track 702 is effectively synchronized with the rotary motion of the driving roller 300, which is the key to ensure the accuracy of the variable-diameter timing, and only when the cam track 702 and the conveying belt 500 are in consistent operation rhythm, the subsequent variable-diameter action can correspond to the cleaning interval, wherein the fixed plate 717 is fixed with the rack 200 through bolts, which can provide a stable installation basis for the center shaft 705 and the second guide sleeve 731, and can prevent these core components from deviating during movement, wherein the cam track 702 is made of food-grade flexible graphite, which can fully adapt to the circular motion of the tooth chain 701, and the thin metal sheet 704 at the top of the cam track 702 is made of 304 stainless steel material, which can effectively resist the wear caused by the long-term rolling of the bearing wheel 728.

[0027] According to Figures 7-8As shown, the center shaft 705 is fixed between the two racks 200, the outer surface of the center shaft 705 is symmetrically sleeved with two sliding sleeves 706, the outer surface of the two sliding sleeves 706 is connected with a roller bearing 707, the outer surface of the two roller bearings 707 is connected with a corresponding one of the two tapered shaft cores 708, the outer wall of one end of the two tapered shaft cores 708 is matched with the end surface arc of the outer wall of one end of the two sets of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709, the outer surface of the two sets of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709 is fixedly connected with the inner surface of a corresponding one of the two sets of arc-shaped plates 710, the outer surface of the two sets of arc-shaped plates 710 is covered with a rubber coating 732, and the two sets of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709 are symmetrically placed, and the outer wall of one end of the two sets of arc-shaped wedge blocks 709 is fixedly connected with a solid rod 711.

[0028] In the embodiment of the application, first, the center shaft 705 is made of 40Cr quenched and tempered steel, the center shaft 705 serves as a fixed reference for the entire dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700, can effectively resist the radial force generated when the tapered shaft core 708 slides, and avoids deformation, second, the cooperation of the sliding sleeve 706 and the roller bearing 707 can convert the sliding friction of the tapered shaft core 708 into rolling friction, making the tapered shaft core 708 slide more smoothly in the axial direction and not jamming, and the roller bearing 707 can effectively inhibit the synchronous rotation motion from being transmitted to the entire dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700, and third, the end surface arc of the tapered shaft core 708 and the wedge block 709 is strictly matched, which can ensure that the axial force is uniformly transmitted to each wedge block 709 and avoid local wear caused by uneven force, and the rubber coating 732 on the outer surface of the arc-shaped plate 710 is made of food-grade silicone, which can increase the friction with the inner surface of the conveyor belt 500 and avoid scratching caused by direct metal contact with the conveyor belt 500.

[0029] According to Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the outer surface of the two sets of solid rods 711 is rotatably connected with a pulley 712, the outer surface of the center shaft 705 is symmetrically sleeved with two ball bearings 713, the outer surface of the two ball bearings 713 is connected with the inner surface of a corresponding one of the two end covers 714, one side of the outer wall of the two end covers 714 is provided with a group of holes, a slide is formed between the inner surface walls of the two groups of holes, the pulley 712 is slidably connected between the inner surface walls of the two slides, the inside of the center shaft 705 is a hollow structure, two push rods 715 are symmetrically movably inserted into the inside of the center shaft 705, and one end of the outer wall of the two push rods 715 passes through the through hole formed in the outer surface of the center shaft 705 and is bolted to the outer wall of one end of a corresponding one of the two sliding sleeves 706.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, first, the pulley 712 on the solid rod 711 cooperates with the slide of the end cover 714, which can strictly limit the movement direction of the arc-shaped wedge 709, so as to make the arc-shaped plate 710 only move in the radial direction and cannot move axially along with the conical shaft core 708, which is the key to ensure uniform variable diameter. The ball bearing 713 allows the end cover 714 to rotate smoothly around the central shaft 705, avoiding wear caused by direct friction between the end cover 714 and the central shaft 705. The central shaft 705 is designed as a hollow structure, which can not only reduce the overall weight, but also provide installation space for the push rod 715. The push rod 715 is fixed with the sliding sleeve 706 through bolts, which can accurately transmit the external driving force to the conical shaft core 708, ensuring the stable sliding stroke of the conical shaft core 708, and further ensuring the variable diameter accuracy of the arc-shaped wedge 709.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, first, the transmission structure composed of the first connecting rod 720, the first transmission rod 721 and the second connecting rod 722 can stably convert the swing of the second transmission rod 723 into the axial movement of the push rod 715. This multi-connecting-rod cooperation mode can effectively disperse the force transmission and avoid damage to the components caused by excessive stress on a single point. The rollers 724 on the second connecting rods 722 cooperate with the sliding grooves 719 of the L-shaped plates 718 to provide accurate guidance for the movement of the first transmission rod 721 and the second transmission rod 723, preventing deviation during transmission. Secondly, the fixed plates 717 firmly fix these transmission components on the rack 200, ensuring the position stability of the entire transmission chain. Even when the equipment is running at high frequency, the transmission will not be misaligned due to vibration, ensuring the responsiveness of the variable diameter action.

[0033] According to Figure 10 , the outer wall of the two fixed plates 717 is fixedly connected with the first guide sleeve 716 and the L-shaped plate 718 on one side, respectively. The inner surfaces of the two first guide sleeves 716 are slidably connected with the outer surfaces of the corresponding push rods 715, and the outer surfaces of the two L-shaped plates 718 are provided with sliding grooves 719.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, the first guide sleeve 716 adopts wear-resistant copper sleeve material, which is matched with the sliding of the push rod 715, can strictly limit the movement direction of the push rod 715, and make the push rod 715 only slide in the axial direction, without radial skewing, which avoids the uneven stress of the conical shaft core 708 caused by the skewing of the push rod 715, and further prevents the eccentricity of the arc-shaped wedge 709 when the diameter changes, secondly, the sliding groove 719 on the L-shaped plate 718 is processed by numerical control milling, which can effectively reduce the frictional resistance when the roller 724 rolls, and the arc-shaped track of the sliding groove 719 can guide the smooth movement of the roller 724, laying a foundation for the accurate action of the subsequent pressing rod 727.

[0035] According to Figure 10 and Figure 13 It is shown that the outer walls between the two sliding grooves 719 are connected with the corresponding roller 724 rolling, the outer walls between every two second transmission rods 723 are inserted with the third connecting rod 725, the outer surfaces of the two third connecting rods 725 are sleeved with the connecting block 726, the top of the two connecting blocks 726 is connected with the pressing rod 727, and the outer wall of the two pressing rods 727 is sleeved with the bearing wheel 728 at one end.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, the roller 724 rolls in the sliding groove 719, which can greatly reduce the wear compared with sliding contact, can prolong the service life of the component, and the cooperation of the third connecting rod 725 and the connecting block 726 can convert the up-down linear motion of the pressing rod 727 into the swing of the second transmission rod 723, wherein the connecting block 726 adopts an integral molding structure, which avoids the loosening problem caused by the splicing of multiple components, and the bearing wheel 728 at one end of the pressing rod 727 adopts double-row angular contact ball bearings, which can bear the composite force in the radial and axial directions, and the rolling contact with the cam track 702 can ensure that the force transmission is more uniform, without causing damage to the cam track 702 and the bearing wheel 728 due to excessive local stress, and the rotation of the bearing wheel 728 can also make the action of the pressing rod 727 more smooth, reducing the risk of jamming.

[0037] According to Figure 10As shown, the outer surface of the two bearing wheels 728 is in rolling connection with the top of the corresponding cam track 702, the outer surface of the two pressing rods 727 is sleeved with the limiting sleeve 729, the two limiting sleeves 729 and the two second guide sleeves 731 are elastically connected with the springs 730, the inner surface of the two second guide sleeves 731 is in sliding connection with the outer surface of the two pressing rods 727, and one end of the outer wall of the two second guide sleeves 731 is in bolt connection with one side of the outer wall of the corresponding rack 200 (that is, when the bearing wheel 728 runs to the convex section of the cam track 702, the pressing rod 727 is lifted up, and through the connecting rod mechanism composed of the third connecting rod 725, the second transmission rod 723, the second connecting rod 722, the first transmission rod 721 and the first connecting rod 720, the upward displacement is converted into the outward thrust of the push rod 715, the sliding sleeve 706 and the conical shaft core 708 are pushed outwards, the arc-shaped wedge block 709 is forced to expand radially, and the diameter of the roller is increased to support the conveyor belt 500. When the bearing wheel 728 runs to the recessed section of the cam track 702, the pressing rod 727 moves downward under the action of the spring 730, and through the above connecting rod mechanism, the upward displacement is converted into the inward pulling force of the push rod 715, the conical shaft core 708 is pulled inwards, and the arc-shaped wedge block 709 is radially retracted under the action of gravity or a reset mechanism such as a light spring, so that the diameter of the roller is reduced to form a cleaning gap).

[0038] In the embodiment of the application, first, the spring 730 is always in a slightly compressed state, which can provide a continuous downward pressure for the pressing rod 727, ensuring that the bearing wheel 728 is always in close contact with the outer contour of the cam track 702 and will not be separated due to vibration or rotation of the cam track 702. This is the core of ensuring the timing accuracy of the variable diameter. Only when the bearing wheel 728 is in close contact with the cam track 702 can the position of the pressing rod 727 be adjusted in real time following the change of the contour of the cam track 702. Secondly, the sliding fit between the second guide sleeve 731 and the pressing rod 727 can limit the pressing rod 727 to move only up and down, avoiding the displacement of the pressing rod 727 to cause the contact between the bearing wheel 728 and the cam track 702 to be misaligned. Meanwhile, the limiting sleeve 729 can limit the maximum compression amount of the spring 730 to prevent the spring 730 from losing elasticity due to excessive compression, and also to avoid the pressing rod 727 from moving downward excessively to damage the cam track 702, ensuring the stable operation of the entire dynamic variable-diameter roller assembly 700.
