Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tableware transportation technology, and in particular to a tableware processing and transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of tableware, especially tableware with specific shapes such as spoons and forks, it is often necessary to transfer them between multiple processes.

[0003] In the production and processing of tableware, especially for utensils with specific curved surfaces such as spoons and forks, numerous challenges arise during inter-process transfer. Traditional conveying methods mainly rely on manual placement or simple chutes, which have the following prominent problems: First, manual placement is labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to scratching the product surface; second, ordinary chutes lack effective separation mechanisms, causing tableware to stack and jam during transport, severely affecting the continuity of assembly line operations; third, due to the special shape of the tableware, it is prone to deflection and tumbling during turning and sliding, resulting in inconsistent discharge directions and significantly increasing the workload of subsequent finishing processes. Although some vibrating conveyor equipment exists, most lack dedicated guiding structures and adjustable collection systems for the tableware's shape, making it difficult to achieve efficient and neat automated conveying.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a tableware processing and transportation device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a tableware processing and transportation device, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and aims to solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a tableware processing and transportation device, comprising a base, a support rod and a fixing rod fixedly disposed on the base, a frame fixedly installed on the top of the support rod and the fixing rod, a guide plate movably installed inside the frame, a guide rod fixedly installed in the middle of the guide plate, a groove opened on the opposite side of the guide plate, an extension plate installed on the guide plate extending to the outside of the frame, and a collection component installed on the base; The collecting assembly includes a mounting plate fixedly installed on the base, an electric telescopic mechanism is mounted on the mounting plate, a movable plate is fixedly mounted on the end of the electric telescopic mechanism, a sliding plate is mounted on the side of the movable plate away from the electric telescopic mechanism, a slot is opened on the sliding plate, a vertical plate is engaged in the slot, and clamping plates are installed on both sides of the vertical plate. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the base. The fixing plate is installed on both sides of the mounting plate, and a through groove is opened on the fixing plate. A movable rod is slidably installed in the through groove.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a positioning hole is provided on the outer surface of the sliding plate, the positioning hole is fixedly disposed with the movable rod, and the movable rod reciprocates within the through groove.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two sliding grooves are symmetrically formed on the mounting plate, and a slider is slidably disposed in the sliding groove; the slider is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and the slider is used to assist in driving the sliding plate to move.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the frame, a gap is left between the frame and the guide plate, a vibrating plate is installed in the gap, the two ends of the vibrating plate are fixedly connected to the frame and the guide plate respectively, and the drive motor is used to drive the vibrating plate to vibrate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a plurality of horizontal plates are fixedly installed between the sides of the clamping plates near the electric telescopic mechanism, and the spacing between the vertical plates is slightly larger than the width of the guide plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: an arc-shaped groove is provided on the lower surface of the extension plate, an arc-shaped plate is installed on the guide rod extending to the outside of the frame, the guide rod is bent on the side near the fixed plate, and the curvature of the guide rod, the arc-shaped plate and the arc-shaped groove at the bottom of the extension plate are consistent.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: two arc-shaped plates are provided, and the outer sides of the arc-shaped plates are both in contact with the inner surface of the fixed plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the frame, a fan is provided on the top of the top plate, an air inlet is provided on the fan, an air outlet is provided at the bottom of the top plate at an angle, and a pipe is connected between the fan and the air outlet.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention uses a drive motor to drive a vibrating plate to vibrate, causing the tableware to slide down an inclined guide plate. This effectively avoids the stacking and jamming problems common in traditional manual placement or simple slide conveying, and significantly improves conveying efficiency. The grooves on the guide plate and the guide rod in the middle work together to limit the sliding trajectory of the tableware. The continuous arc-shaped channel formed by the extension plate and the arc plate allows the tableware to turn smoothly and prevents deflection or blockage caused by sharp bends. The sliding plate and clamping plate are moved by an electric telescopic mechanism, which moves the spoons between the vertical plates to the outside for easy collection. Different sizes of tableware can be collected by changing the vertical plates and clamping plates. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-5 A tableware processing and transportation device includes a base 1, a support rod 3 and a fixing rod 4 threadedly mounted on the base 1, a frame 5 welded to the top of the support rod 3 and the fixing rod 4, a guide plate 6 movably mounted inside the frame 5, a guide rod 7 welded to the middle of the guide plate 6 via a first connecting rod, a groove 8 opened on the opposite side of the guide plate 6, an extension plate 9 welded to the outside of the guide plate 6 extending to the frame 5, and a collection assembly mounted on the base 1.

[0019] The groove 8 is used to limit the two ends of the spoon and guide the spoon, limiting the sliding trajectory of the spoon.

[0020] Furthermore, there are two support rods 3 and two fixing rods 4. A connecting plate is installed between the two support rods 3, and the connecting plate is threadedly fixed to the frame 5.

[0021] The tilt angle of the guide plate 6 can be adjusted within the range of 10°-25° by adjusting the connection position between the frame 5 and the support rod 3 to adapt to the sliding speed of tableware of different sizes.

[0022] The collection components include a mounting plate 11 welded to the base 1. An electric telescopic mechanism 19 is threaded onto the mounting plate 11. A movable plate 18 is threaded onto the end of the electric telescopic mechanism 19. A sliding plate 12 is welded onto the side of the movable plate 18 away from the electric telescopic mechanism 19. A slot is provided on the sliding plate 12, and a vertical plate 16 is engaged in the slot. Clamping plates 15 are welded to both sides of the vertical plate 16. The clamping plates 15 are used to position the spoons and limit the range of motion of the spoons to prevent the spoons from tilting during the stacking process and affecting the stacking effect.

[0023] Specifically, the spacing between the clamps 15 is consistent with the width of the spoon itself, and there is a gap between the clamps 15 and the spoon to prevent slight deformation caused by the spoon hitting the clamps 15. Furthermore, a support plate is installed between the bottoms of the two vertical plates 16, and a rubber pad is laid on top of the support plate to provide cushioning and protection.

[0024] Furthermore, the clamp 15 adopts a modular design, and by replacing the clamp 15 with different spacing, it can adapt to the collection needs of various tableware such as spoons and forks.

[0025] A fixing plate 2 is welded onto the base 1. The fixing plate 2 is installed on both sides of the mounting plate 11, and a through groove 13 is provided on the fixing plate 2. A movable rod 14 is slidably arranged in the through groove 13.

[0026] The through groove 13 restricts the movement direction of the movable rod 14, further controlling the stability of the sliding plate 12 in its forward and backward movement. The movable plate 18 is moved by the electric telescopic mechanism 19, which in turn moves the sliding plate 12 welded to the movable plate 18, thereby adjusting the position of the vertical plate 16 and the clamping plate 15 to facilitate receiving and collecting spoons.

[0027] The outer surface of the sliding plate 12 is provided with a positioning hole 23, which is threadedly fixed to the movable rod 14, and the movable rod 14 moves back and forth in the through groove 13.

[0028] Two sliding grooves 20 are symmetrically formed on the mounting plate 11. A slider is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 20. The slider is threadedly connected to the sliding plate 12 and is used to assist in driving the sliding plate 12 to move.

[0029] A drive motor 21 is threadedly installed on one side of the frame 5. There is a gap between the frame 5 and the guide plate 6. A vibrating plate 22 is installed in the gap. The two ends of the vibrating plate 22 are fixedly connected to the frame 5 and the guide plate 6 respectively. The drive motor 21 is used to drive the vibrating plate 22 to vibrate.

[0030] The drive motor 21 serves as a power source and is directly installed on the vibration plate 22 via its output shaft, exciting it to generate continuous or controllable mechanical vibration, thereby effectively transmitting the driving force to the guide plate 6. At the same time, both the guide plate 6 and the frame 5 are tilted to further achieve the expected vibration guidance function.

[0031] The vibrating plate 22 is made of composite material, which has excellent elasticity and fatigue strength. At the same time, the vibration frequency of the vibrating plate 22 is adjustable to adapt to the conveying requirements of different tableware.

[0032] Several horizontal plates 17 are welded between the side of the clamping plate 15 near the electric telescopic mechanism 19, and the spacing between the vertical plates 16 is slightly larger than the width of the guide plate 6.

[0033] An arc-shaped groove is provided on the lower surface of the extension plate 9. An arc-shaped plate 10 is installed on the outside of the frame 5 extending from the guide rod 7. The guide rod 7 is bent on the side near the fixed plate 2. The curvature of the guide rod 7, the arc-shaped plate 10 and the arc-shaped groove at the bottom of the extension plate 9 are consistent.

[0034] The guide rod 7, the curved plate 10, and the curved groove at the bottom of the extension plate 9 have the same degree of curvature, which together form a smooth transition structure to ensure that the tableware will not get stuck during the conveying process. Two arc-shaped plates 10 are provided, and the outer sides of the arc-shaped plates 10 are both in contact with the inner surface of the fixing plate 2.

[0035] Working principle: After the device is started, the spoon is put in from above the frame 5 and falls into the groove 8 of the guide plate 6. The drive motor 21 then starts, and drives the vibrating plate 22 to generate continuous and stable micro-amplitude high-frequency vibration through the output shaft. This vibration is transmitted to the guide plate 6, so that the tableware overcomes static friction under the action of mechanical vibration and slides down the inclined guide plate 6 in an orderly manner. When the cutlery slides to the end on the guide plate 6, the spoon is guided to turn by the arc-shaped guide formed by the guide rod 7 and the arc plate 10, which effectively reduces the resistance when the cutlery turns and prevents the spoon from getting stuck or deflected too much due to sharp bends. After passing through the arc-shaped guide structure, the spoon slides along the extension plate 9 into the collection area formed by the clamping plate 15 and the vertical plate 16. The spacing between the clamping plates 15 is designed according to the width of the spoon to ensure that the spoon enters smoothly and is collected. When a large number of spoons accumulate, the feeding of spoons onto the guide plate 6 is stopped. The collected spoons are then collected. The electric telescopic machine 19 pushes the movable plate 18, which in turn moves the sliding plate 12 along the sliding groove 20. The cooperation between the movable rod 14 and the through groove 13 ensures that the sliding plate 12 always maintains a straight line. When it moves to the outside, the staff transports and collects the collected spoons and the vertical plate 16. At the same time, a new vertical plate 16 and clamping plate 15 are replaced to carry out the next round of collection.

[0036] Furthermore, during the receiving process, the horizontal plate 17 serves as an auxiliary support and divider to prevent the tableware from colliding with each other, while the support plate and rubber pad at the bottom of the vertical plate 16 provide cushioning protection for the tableware and prevent surface scratches.

[0037] Example 2 Based on Embodiment 1, in order to better assist in the transportation of the spoon, while ensuring that the spoon is tilted in one direction on the guide plate 6.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 6-7 A top plate 24 is installed on the top of the frame 5 via a second connecting rod. A fan 25 is threaded onto the top of the top plate 24. An air inlet is provided on the fan 25. Several air outlets 26 are evenly provided on the bottom of the top plate 24. Pipes connect the fan 25 and the air outlets 26.

[0039] Furthermore, the top plate 24 is shorter than the frame 5, and the top plate 24 is located on the side closer to the fixed plate 2. The side of the frame 5 without the top plate 24 is convenient for workers to carry the spoons.

[0040] The blower 25 is an adjustable speed centrifugal blower, which can adjust the air pressure and air volume according to the weight of the spoon and the conveying speed. By setting guide vanes in the air outlet 26, the airflow forms a uniform air curtain, ensuring the consistency of the blowing direction.

[0041] The fan 25 is linked with the drive motor 21 for control. When the vibration frequency increases, the air pressure is increased accordingly to ensure that the ideal airflow guidance effect can be maintained at different conveying speeds.

[0042] When the device is working, the airflow generated by the fan 25 is blown downwards through the air outlet 26, forming a directional airflow field above the guide plate 6. This airflow field has a dual function: on the one hand, the airflow creates a pressure difference on the curved surface of the spoon, causing it to automatically adjust to a stable position during the vibration conveying process; on the other hand, the continuous airflow can effectively remove the slight dust or water stains that adhere to the surface of the tableware during processing, improving the cleanliness of the product.
