Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically to an angle-adjustable food production conveyor. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, more and more factories have achieved automated production, and the use of conveyors has become increasingly common. In food processing plants, food production conveyors are gradually being put into use. Compared with manual labor, conveyors are more efficient and can work day and night, while manual labor cannot. Therefore, more and more manual labor is being replaced by machinery.

[0003] Existing food production conveyors can transport finished food to a designated location and then load it into another container. However, current conveyors cannot adjust the machine's angle, so they usually require the use of equipment or containers of the same size and height to load the food into the container without manual intervention. They cannot adapt to containers of different heights by adjusting the angle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an angle-adjustable food production conveyor, comprising a dust cover and a conveying device. The dust cover is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device, and a feed inlet is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the dust cover. A first motor is fixedly installed on the side of the conveying device via a bracket. Universal joints are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the conveying device. The universal joints are divided into two groups, with a lifting device rotatably installed at the bottom of the group of universal joints closest to the output port of the conveying device, and a first support column rotatably installed at the bottom of the other group of universal joints. Through the operation of the lifting device, one end of the conveying device can be raised or lowered according to the needs of the operator. This allows the lifting device to be adjusted according to the required height of the transporting device when encountering transporting devices of different heights, thus achieving the goal of adjusting the machine's angle or height according to the height of the food container.

[0005] Preferably, the dust cover includes a first housing, which is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device. The upper surface of the first housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed inlet. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the top of the cavity of the first housing. A Z-shaped heat dissipation hole is formed on the upper surface of the first housing, and the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole penetrates the first housing and extends into its inner cavity. When food is fed into the conveying device through the feed inlet, if the food still retains residual heat when it enters the instrument, the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole can expel the residual heat from the instrument. At the same time, dust cannot enter the instrument through the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole and contaminate the food, thus achieving the purpose of heat dissipation and dust prevention.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying device includes a second housing and a cleaning port. The cleaning port is located on the outer surface of the second housing. A transmission device is rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity of the second housing, and the slide rail is located at the opposite end relative to the cleaning port. A detachable discharge port is slidably installed between the slide rails. After the instrument has finished working, the operator can clean the food residue that has fallen to the bottom of the cavity of the second housing through the cleaning port to prevent the food residue from spoiling and contaminating the next batch of food, thus achieving the purpose of timely cleaning of food residue.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission device includes a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, and a third rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft passes through the second housing and extends to its outer side. The first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. The other end of the first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing. Both ends of the second rotating shaft and the third rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing.

[0008] Preferably, a transmission cylinder is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first, second, and third rotating shafts. A transmission belt is driven onto the outer surface of the transmission cylinder, and a traction block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt. Through the operation of the first motor, the traction block rotates along with the transmission belt. When oily food falls onto the transmission belt, the traction block pulls and conveys the food to the detachable discharge port, effectively preventing the food from slipping and failing to complete the conveying process.

[0009] Preferably, the detachable discharge port includes a discharge trough, with sliders fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge trough, and a guide block fixedly installed on the upper surface of the discharge trough. The guide block concentrates the food in a fixed direction, preventing it from scattering to other locations during transport, thus greatly reducing the amount of food wasted during the transport process.

[0010] Preferably, the lifting device includes a third housing. A second support column is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the third housing, and the second support column is located on both sides of the third housing. A first sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the second support column, and the first sleeve can move up and down along the second support column. The top of the first sleeve is rotatably mounted with a universal joint. By setting a universal joint, when the lifting device is working, the conveying device can change the angle of the instrument as the height of one end increases, thus achieving the purpose of variable angle.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor and a second sleeve are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the third housing via a bracket. A second lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The second lead screw passes through the third housing and extends to the outside of the third housing. A first lead screw is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cavity of the third housing. A transmission gear is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first lead screw.

[0012] Preferably, the teeth on the outer surface of the transmission gear mesh with the threads on the outer surface of the second lead screw. The first lead screw passes through the third housing and extends to the outside. The second sleeve is connected to the first lead screw via its internal threads. The top of the second sleeve is rotatably mounted. Through the operation of the second motor, the angle or height of the instrument can be changed according to the needs of the operator. When transporting several different foods consecutively, the operator can quickly change the angle or height of the instrument according to the height of the food transport device, thus greatly saving manpower and time spent adjusting the instrument.

[0013] This invention provides an angle-adjustable food production conveyor. It has the following beneficial effects: (i) The adjustable food production conveyor works through a lifting device. One end of the conveying device can be raised or lowered according to the needs of the staff. When encountering loading devices of different heights, the lifting device can be adjusted according to the required height of the loading device, so that the angle or height of the machine can be adjusted according to the height of the food container.

[0014] (ii) When food is fed into the conveying device through the feed inlet, if the food still retains residual heat when it enters the instrument, the Z-shaped heat dissipation holes can expel the residual heat from the instrument. At the same time, dust cannot enter the instrument through the Z-shaped heat dissipation holes and contaminate the food, thus achieving the purpose of heat dissipation and dust prevention.

[0015] (III) With this adjustable angle food production conveyor, after the instrument has finished working, the staff can clean the food residue that has fallen to the bottom of the second shell cavity through the cleaning port to prevent the food residue from spoiling and contaminating the next batch of food. Thus, the purpose of timely cleaning of food residue is achieved.

[0016] (iv) The adjustable-angle food production conveyor operates through the first motor, and the traction block rotates with the rotation of the transmission belt. When greasy food falls onto the transmission belt, the traction block will pull and transport the food to the detachable discharge port, which can effectively prevent the failure to complete the conveying due to food slippage.

[0017] (v) The adjustable-angle food production conveyor concentrates the food in a fixed direction through guide blocks, so that the food will not scatter to other positions during the conveying process, thus greatly reducing the amount of food wasted during the conveying process.

[0018] (vi) The adjustable food production conveyor, by setting a universal angle, allows the conveying device to change the angle of the instrument as the height of one end increases when the lifting device is working, thus achieving the purpose of variable angle.

[0019] (vii) The angle-adjustable food production conveyor operates through a second motor, and the angle or height of the instrument can be changed according to the needs of the staff. When transporting several different foods in succession, the staff can quickly change the angle or height of the instrument according to the height of the food transport device, thus greatly saving manpower and time for instrument debugging.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This invention provides a technical solution: an angle-adjustable food production conveyor, comprising a dust cover 2 and a conveying device 3. The dust cover 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device 3. An inlet 1 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the dust cover 2, and the inlet 1 has a certain tilt angle to facilitate tilted connection and conveying at the input end. A first motor 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the conveying device 3 via a bracket. Universal joints 6 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the conveying device 3. The universal joints are divided into two groups, with a lifting device 4 rotatably installed at the bottom of the group of universal joints 6 closest to the output port of the conveying device 3, and a first support column 7 rotatably installed at the bottom of the other group of universal joints 6. Through the operation of the lifting device 4, one end of the conveying device 3 can be raised or lowered according to the needs of the operator. This allows the lifting device 4 to be adjusted according to the required height of the transporting device when encountering transporting devices of different heights, thus achieving the ability to adjust the machine's angle or height according to the height of the food container.

[0024] The dust cover 2 includes a first housing 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying device 3. The upper surface of the first housing 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed inlet 1. A guide plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the cavity of the first housing 21. A Z-shaped heat dissipation hole 22 is provided on the upper surface of the first housing 21, and the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole 22 penetrates the first housing 21 and extends into its inner cavity. Multiple Z-shaped heat dissipation holes 22 are provided on the upper surface of the first housing 21 to facilitate cooling. When food is fed into the conveying device 3 through the feed inlet 1, if the food still retains residual heat when it enters the instrument, the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole 22 can expel the residual heat from the instrument. At the same time, dust cannot enter the instrument through the Z-shaped heat dissipation hole 22 and contaminate the food, thus achieving the purpose of heat dissipation and dust prevention.

[0025] Please see Figure 5-6 This invention provides a technical solution: an angle-adjustable food production conveyor. The conveying device 3 includes a second housing 31 and a cleaning port 32. The cleaning port 32 is located on the outer surface of the second housing 31. Transmission devices 33 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing 31. A slide rail 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity of the second housing 31, and the slide rail 35 is located at the other end opposite to the cleaning port 32. A detachable discharge port 34 is slidably installed between the slide rails 35. After the instrument has finished working, the operator can clean the food residue that has fallen to the bottom of the cavity of the second housing 31 through the cleaning port 32 to prevent the food residue from spoiling and contaminating the food being conveyed next time, thus achieving the purpose of timely cleaning of food residue.

[0026] The transmission device 33 includes a first rotating shaft 331, a second rotating shaft 332, and a third rotating shaft 333. The first rotating shaft 331 passes through the second housing 31 and extends to its outer side. The first rotating shaft 331 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 5. The other end of the first rotating shaft 331 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing 31. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 332 and the third rotating shaft 333 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity of the second housing 31. A transmission cylinder 334 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 331, the second rotating shaft 332, and the third rotating shaft 333. A transmission belt 335 is drivenly mounted on the outer surface of the transmission cylinder 334. A traction block 336 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the transmission belt 335. The traction block 336 has a stop along the direction of rotation of the transmission belt 335. When the instrument is tilted, it can prevent spherical food from sliding out of the transmission belt 335. The traction block 336 rotates along with the transmission belt 335 as the first motor 5 operates. When greasy food falls onto the transmission belt 335, the traction block 336 will pull and transport the food to the detachable discharge port 34, which can effectively prevent the food from slipping and causing the conveying to fail.

[0027] Please see Figure 7-8 This invention provides a technical solution: an angle-adjustable food production conveyor. The detachable discharge port 34 includes a discharge trough 341, with sliders 342 fixedly connected to both sides of the discharge trough 341. A guide block 343 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the discharge trough 341. The guide block 343 concentrates the food in a fixed direction, preventing it from scattering to other locations during conveying, thus greatly reducing the amount of food wasted during the conveying process.

[0028] Please see Figure 9-10 This invention provides a technical solution: an angle-adjustable food production conveyor. The lifting device 4 includes a third housing 41. A second support column 45 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the third housing 41, and the second support column 45 is located on both sides of the third housing 41. A first sleeve 43 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second support column 45, and the first sleeve 43 can move up and down along the second support column 45. The top of the first sleeve 43 is rotatably installed with a universal joint 6. By setting the universal joint 6, when the lifting device 4 is working, the conveying device 3 can change the angle of the instrument as the height of one end increases, thus achieving the purpose of variable angle.

[0029] The outer surface of the third housing 41 is fixedly mounted with a second motor 42 and a second sleeve 44 via a bracket. The output end of the second motor 42 is fixedly connected to a second lead screw 47. The second lead screw 47 passes through the third housing 41 and extends to the outside of the third housing 41. A first lead screw 46 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cavity of the third housing 41. A transmission gear 48 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first lead screw 46.

[0030] The teeth on the outer surface of the transmission gear 48 mesh with the threads on the outer surface of the second lead screw 47. The first lead screw 46 passes through the third housing 41 and extends to the outside. The second sleeve 44 is connected to the first lead screw 46 via its internal threads. The top of the second sleeve 44 is rotatably mounted with a universal joint 6. Through the operation of the second motor 42, the angle or height of the instrument can be changed according to the needs of the operator. When transporting several different foods consecutively, the operator can quickly change the angle or height of the instrument according to the height of the food transport device, thus greatly saving manpower and time for instrument adjustment.

[0031] In use, the food is first produced from the production device and enters the conveyor belt 335 in the conveyor device 3 through the feed port 1. At this time, the operator turns on the first motor 5 and the food is conveyed to the detachable discharge port 34 through the conveyor belt 335. When encountering greasy food, the traction block 336 on the surface of the conveyor belt 335 will pull the food to the detachable discharge port 34. After the transmission is completed, the food residue scattered at the bottom of the cavity of the second housing 31 can be cleaned out of the instrument through the cleaning port 32.

[0032] When the food reaches the detachable discharge port 34, it will fall onto the upper surface of the discharge trough 341 and slide down into the container along the direction of the guide block 343. After the instrument has finished working, the detachable discharge port 34 can be removed through the slide rail 35 for cleaning or to replace it with another discharge port.

[0033] When the food is still warm during the transmission process, the heat can be conducted out of the instrument through the Z-shaped heat dissipation holes 22 on the upper surface of the first housing 21, so as to avoid the instrument from overheating and being unable to operate normally. The guide plate 23 fixedly connected to the top of the first cavity 24 can control the food falling into the conveyor 3 within the range of the conveyor belt 335, preventing the food from falling into the bottom of the cavity of the second housing 31.

[0034] When the height of the container used to hold food or the next processing equipment is higher than the height of the food production conveyor, the operator can start the second motor 42. The second motor 42 drives the second lead screw 47 to start rotating. The second lead screw 47 drives the first lead screw 46 to rotate through the rotating transmission gear 48. The second sleeve 44 rises as the first lead screw 46 rotates. When the lifting device 4 raises the detachable discharge port 34 to the required height, the operator turns off the second motor 42. At this time, the lifting device 4 will stay in this position for conveying. After the food production conveyor is used, the second motor 42 is turned on again and the direction of motor rotation is changed. When the lifting device 4 returns to the horizontal position, the second motor 42 is turned off.
