To address the above problems, an automatic feeding device for food processing is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic feeding device for food processing, which solves the problem that the prior art, as mentioned in the background, is unable to meet the needs of large-scale, automated lifting and feeding of food materials, and cannot flexibly adapt to production stations of different heights, resulting in a limited operating range of the equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for food processing, comprising a feeding mechanism, wherein the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame, and a plurality of toothed grooves are evenly provided on one side of the upper surface of the feeding frame. A sliding member is slidably connected to the inner side of the feeding frame, and a first motor is provided on the sliding member. A gear is provided at the output end of the first motor, and the gear meshes with the toothed groove. The first motor drives the gear to rotate, generating a reverse force between the gear and the toothed groove, thereby causing the sliding member to slide. The feeding mechanism also includes a pneumatic clamp with grippers at the bottom. The pneumatic clamp controls the opening and closing of the grippers to pick up food, and coordinates with the sliding of the sliding component to achieve displacement and height adjustment for feeding operations.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, a loading rack provides the support and installation function. The loading rack has toothed grooves, and a sliding component is movably mounted inside the loading rack, cooperating with rollers for adjustment. A first motor is mounted on the sliding component, with a gear at its output end.

In this invention, a clamping base plate is provided at the bottom to offer support, and an adjustment groove is provided on the inner side of the bottom to provide operating space, facilitating the insertion of the right-angle clamping component through the inner side and its adjustment in conjunction with the connecting rod. A bidirectional adjusting screw is connected to the internal thread of the connecting rod, and a fourth motor drives the bidirectional adjusting screw to rotate, thereby facilitating the relative movement of the connecting rod and the right-angle clamping component. This allows for quick clamping and installation according to the size and location of the installation, improving the convenience of installation and disassembly. Furthermore, an anti-slip strip is provided on the inner side of one end of the right-angle clamping component to enhance stability after clamping and installation, ensuring stable and safe use of the equipment.

[0018] 3. In this invention, a third motor is connected to the bottom of the feeding rack and supported by a support plate. A mounting plate provides stable support for the third motor, facilitating rotation via the motor and allowing for adjustment of the feeding rack and clamping mechanism. This enables a wide range of feeding operations and allows for flexible food feeding at different locations. The bottom of the mounting plate is equipped with an electric lifting column for support and height adjustment. Combined with a controller, the electric lifting column can be adjusted according to height requirements, thus adapting to different feeding heights. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for food processing, including a feeding mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism 1 including a feeding rack 101, a plurality of toothed grooves 102 are evenly opened on one side of the upper surface of the feeding rack 101, a sliding member 103 is slidably connected to the inner side of the feeding rack 101, a first motor 105 is provided on the sliding member 103, a gear 106 is provided at the output end of the first motor 105, and the gear 106 meshes with the toothed grooves 102. The first motor 105 drives the gear 106 to rotate, generating a reverse force between the gear 106 and the toothed grooves 102, so that the sliding member 103 slides. The feeding mechanism 1 also includes a pneumatic clamp 113. The bottom of the pneumatic clamp 113 is provided with a gripper 114. The pneumatic clamp 113 controls the opening and closing of the gripper 114 to pick up food. It cooperates with the sliding member 103 to realize displacement and height adjustment for feeding operation. Rollers 104 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the sliding member 103. The rollers 104 are symmetrically clamped on the outside of the feeding rack 101. A wire frame 107 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding member 103. A second motor 108 is provided on one side of the wire frame 107. A take-up shaft 109 is provided at the output end of the second motor 108. A cable 110 is wound and connected on the take-up shaft 109. The cable 110 is located at the top of the pneumatic clamp 113. A guide sleeve 111 is installed at the bottom of the wire frame 107. A guide ring 112 is provided on the inner side of the guide sleeve 111. A support plate 115 is provided at one end of the feeding rack 101.

[0023] In this embodiment, the loading rack 101 serves as a support and installation frame, and the loading rack 101 has toothed grooves 102 distributed on it. The sliding member 103 is movably installed on the inner side of the loading rack 101 and moves in conjunction with the roller 104, which facilitates the sliding adjustment of the sliding member 103 on the loading rack 101. A first motor 105 is installed on the sliding member 103, and a gear 106 is provided at the output end. The first motor 105 drives the gear 106 to rotate, and the outer wall of the gear 106 meshes with the toothed grooves 102, thereby generating a reverse force, which enables the sliding member 103 to achieve the function of sliding adjustment. This is beneficial for moving the sliding member 103 and the clamping part to adjust their displacement. During the displacement, the height will change, which is beneficial for adapting to different loading heights and improving the working range. The cable 110 is connected to the bottom of the sliding member 103 via a guide frame 107, and a winding shaft 109 winds a cable 110 inside. A second motor 108 drives one end of the winding shaft 109, facilitating the release or winding of the cable 110. A pneumatic clamp 113 is connected to the bottom of the cable 110, allowing for the opening and closing of the gripper 114, facilitating food handling and loading. The hoisting method further expands the operating range. A guide sleeve 111, in conjunction with a guide ring 112, is located at the bottom of the guide frame 107, providing guidance and reducing friction during the release and winding of the cable 110, effectively improving stability during use.

[0024] Example 2: Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes an adjustment mechanism 2, which includes a mounting plate 201. A third motor 202 is provided on the top of the mounting plate 201 for rotational adjustment. Electric lifting columns 203 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the mounting plate 201. A connecting plate 205 is provided at the bottom of the electric lifting column 203. A controller 204 is provided between the two connecting plates 205.

[0025] In this embodiment, the third motor 202 is mounted at the bottom of the feeding rack 101, forming a stable connection and support structure through the support plate 115. The mounting plate 201 provides a reliable load-bearing mounting base for the third motor 202, effectively ensuring the stability and positional accuracy of the third motor 202 during operation. Based on the above structural design, the third motor 202 can stably output driving force to achieve rotational movement, thereby driving the feeding rack 101 and its mounted clamps to synchronously adjust their rotational position. This design significantly expands the feeding operation coverage of the equipment, enabling it to flexibly adapt to food feeding needs from different directions, effectively improving the flexibility and applicability of the feeding operation. An electric lifting column 203 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 201. The electric lifting column 203 serves two purposes: firstly, it supports the mounting plate 201 and the overall structure above it; secondly, it has a precise lifting adjustment function. Through linkage with the controller 204, the operator can conveniently and precisely control the lifting stroke of the electric lifting column 203 according to the different material feeding height requirements in the actual production process. This allows the entire feeding mechanism to quickly adapt to different working scenarios and greatly improves the equipment's adaptability to diverse production conditions.

[0026] Example 3: As Figures 1-4 As shown, it also includes a clamping mechanism 3, which includes a clamping base plate 301. The bottom of the clamping base plate 301 is provided with an adjustment groove 302. Right-angle clamping members 303 are symmetrically and movably installed on both sides of the clamping base plate 301. The right-angle clamping members 303 movably pass through the inner side of the adjustment groove 302. Several anti-slip strips 304 are evenly distributed on the inner side of one end of the right-angle clamping member 303. A connecting rod 305 is provided at the other end of the right-angle clamping member 303. A bidirectional adjusting screw 306 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the connecting rod 305. A fourth motor 307 is provided at one end of the bidirectional adjusting screw 306. The fourth motor 307 is located on the side of the clamping base plate 301. Mounting holes are provided through the four corners of the clamping base plate 301.

[0027] In this embodiment, the clamping base plate 301 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the device. Its core function is to provide a stable bottom support for the entire clamping mechanism, ensuring the structural stability of the mechanism during operation. Simultaneously, a longitudinal adjustment groove 302 is provided on the inner bottom side of the clamping base plate 301. This adjustment groove 302 not only provides ample operating space for subsequent adjustment operations but also allows one end of the right-angle clamping member 303 to penetrate into the inner area of ​​the clamping base plate 301, so as to form a linkage with the connecting rod 305 and achieve flexible adjustment of the clamping position. The connecting rod 305 has an internal thread structure, which meshes with the external thread of the bidirectional adjusting screw 306, forming a threaded transmission pair. The fourth motor 307 serves as the power source, with its output shaft coaxially fixed to one end of the bidirectional adjusting screw 306. When the fourth motor 307 starts and drives the bidirectional adjusting screw 306 to rotate in both directions, the screw drive enables the two sets of connecting rods 305 that cooperate with the bidirectional adjusting screw 306 and the right-angle clamping parts 303 connected to them to move synchronously in opposite directions or in opposite directions along the extension direction of the adjusting groove 302. Based on this adjustment mechanism, the operator can quickly adjust the distance between the two sets of right-angle clamping parts 303 according to the actual size and installation position requirements of the component to be installed, achieving rapid clamping, fixing, disassembly, and loosening of the component to be installed. This significantly improves the efficiency of the entire device's installation and disassembly operations and reduces the difficulty of operation. On the inner side of the end of each right-angle clamping member 303 facing the clamping center, an anti-slip strip 304 is tightly fitted. The anti-slip strip 304 is made of a wear-resistant material with a high coefficient of friction, which can effectively increase the friction between the right-angle clamping member 303 and the part to be installed, and prevent the part from sliding or loosening after clamping and fixing. This significantly improves the structural stability and reliability after clamping and installation, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the equipment in subsequent operation.

[0028] In this invention, when the automatic feeding device for food processing is in use, the feeding rack 101 first provides a mounting function, and the feeding rack 101 has toothed grooves 102 distributed on it. The sliding member 103 is movably installed on the inner side of the feeding rack 101 and moves in conjunction with the roller 104, which facilitates the sliding adjustment of the sliding member 103 on the feeding rack 101. The sliding member 103 is equipped with a first motor 105, and the output end is provided with a gear 106. The first motor 105 drives the gear 106 to rotate, and the outer wall of the gear 106 meshes with the toothed grooves 102, thereby generating a reverse force, which enables the sliding member 103 to achieve the function of sliding adjustment. This is beneficial for moving the sliding member 103 and the clamping part to adjust their displacement. During the displacement, the height will change, which is beneficial for adapting to different feeding heights and improving the working range. The cable 110 is connected to the bottom of the sliding member 103 via a guide frame 107, and a cable 110 is wound inside via a take-up shaft 109. A second motor 108 drives one end of the take-up shaft 109, facilitating the release or winding of the cable 110. A pneumatic clamp 113 is connected to the bottom end of the cable 110, allowing for the opening and closing of the grippers 114, facilitating food handling and loading. The hoisting method further expands the operating range. A guide sleeve 111, in conjunction with a guide ring 112, is located at the bottom of the guide frame 107, providing guidance and reducing friction during the release and winding of the cable 110. A third motor 202 is connected to the bottom of the feeding rack 101 and supported by a support plate 115. The mounting plate 201 provides stable support for the third motor 202, facilitating rotation and position adjustment of the feeding rack 101 and clamping components. This allows for a wide range of feeding operations and flexible food feeding at different locations. An electric lifting column 203 provides support at the bottom of the mounting plate 201 and has adjustable height functionality. The controller 204 allows for easy adjustment of the electric lifting column 203 according to height requirements, accommodating feeding operations at different heights. A clamping base plate 301 provides bottom support, and an adjustment groove 302 on the inner side of the bottom provides operating space, allowing the right-angle clamping component 303 to pass through and be adjusted using the connecting rod 305. A bidirectional adjusting screw 306 is connected to the internal thread of the connecting rod 305. The fourth motor 307 drives the bidirectional adjusting screw 306 to rotate, facilitating the relative movement and adjustment of the connecting rod 305 and the right-angle clamping component 303. This allows for quick clamping and installation according to the size and location, improving the ease of installation and disassembly. Furthermore, an anti-slip strip 304 is provided on the inner side of one end of the right-angle clamping component 303 to enhance stability after clamping and installation, ensuring stable and safe use of the equipment.
