Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bar processing equipment, and more specifically, to a bar grooving device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of baked goods processing, the advanced processing of long breads such as baguettes typically involves cutting and filling to create filled breads, open-faced breads, or other fancy baked products. Traditional processing methods rely heavily on manual operation or semi-automatic equipment, resulting in low efficiency and poor consistency.

[0003] Currently, some automated equipment is available on the market for cutting and filling baguettes. This equipment typically includes a conveyor line, a material holder, a cutting device, and a filling device. The material holder carries the baguettes and moves along the conveyor line sequentially through the cutting and filling stations. The cutting device usually uses a straight cutter or a disc cutter to make transverse cuts perpendicular to the baguette's axis, creating the incision. The filling device then injects the filling into the incision.

[0004] Most existing cutting devices can only achieve straight-line cutting perpendicular to the baguette axis, meaning the cutting surface forms a 90-degree angle with the baguette axis. In actual processing, if a larger opening area or an inclined cutting surface is needed to increase the filling volume or improve the product appearance, existing equipment cannot achieve this by adjusting the cutting angle, resulting in insufficient processing flexibility.

[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a bar grooving device.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a bar grooving device, comprising a conveyor line and a grooving mechanism disposed on the conveyor line, characterized in that: a plurality of material placement seats are uniformly disposed on the conveyor line, the material placement seat includes a fixed seat fixedly connected to the conveyor line, a rotating seat is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed seat, and a driving component for controlling the rotation of the rotating seat and a positioning component for positioning the fixed seat and the rotating seat are also disposed on the conveyor line.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the driving component includes a guide rail disposed on the conveyor line, a guide member is provided on one side of the rotating seat, and a guide groove that cooperates with the guide member is opened on the surface of the guide rail along the transmission direction of the conveyor line, and the guide groove includes a first guide section, an arc-shaped change section and a second guide section connected in sequence; The first guide section is used to position the rotating seat in an initial position aligned with the fixed seat when the guide member passes through. The arc-shaped transition section is used to guide the rotating seat to gradually rotate relative to the fixed seat when the guide member passes through; The second guide section is used to keep the rotating seat in a state of being deflected at a certain angle relative to the fixed seat when the guide member passes through.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the guide member includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the rotating seat, the bottom end of the connecting plate is bent to form a horizontal mounting part, a guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the lower surface of the mounting part, and the guide wheel is slidably engaged in the guide groove.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the positioning component includes a swing positioning frame disposed at the bottom of the fixed base, the swing positioning frame includes a positioning plate, and vertically extending support plates are respectively provided on both sides of the positioning plate, the upper ends of the two support plates are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the fixed base through a rotating shaft; the upper surface of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning pin, the fixed base is provided with a first positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning pin, and the rotating base is provided with a second positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning pin.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that: the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole both extend along the length direction of the fixed seat and the rotating seat; the width of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole is equal to the diameter of the positioning pin, and the length of both is greater than the diameter of the positioning pin; and it also includes a first driving member for driving the swing positioning frame.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the driving component includes two driving bars disposed on the conveyor line, both driving bars being located below the positioning plate and respectively disposed on the outer and inner sides of the rotating shaft; the end of the driving bar facing the feeding direction is provided with a first guide slope; When the inner drive bar abuts against the lower surface of the positioning plate, one outer end of the positioning plate deflects downward, causing the positioning pin to separate from the second positioning hole. When the drive bar located on the outer side abuts against the lower surface of the positioning plate, one outer end of the positioning plate tilts upward, causing the positioning pin to insert into the second positioning hole.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: the rotating seat includes a seat body with a U-shaped structure, a material placement block is slidably fitted in the seat body along the vertical direction, a plurality of vertically extending pins are provided on the surface of the seat body, and a plurality of through holes for the pins to pass through are provided on the material placement block; it also includes a second driving member for driving the material placement block to slide upward.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the two ends of the material block extend out of the two ends of the base body respectively; the second driving member includes abutment bars disposed on both sides of the conveyor line, and the abutment bar has a second guide slope at one end facing the feeding direction; As the material block moves along the conveyor line, its end slides along the second guide slope of the abutment bar, thereby being gradually lifted.

Compared with existing equipment that can only cut vertically, this device can flexibly adjust the cutting shape to meet diverse processing needs. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a bar grooving device includes a conveyor line 1 and a grooving mechanism 2 disposed on the conveyor line 1. A plurality of material placement seats 3 are evenly disposed on the conveyor line 1. Each material placement seat 3 includes a fixed seat 4 fixedly connected to the conveyor line 1. A rotating seat 5 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed seat. The conveyor line 1 is also provided with a drive component for controlling the rotation of the rotating seat 5 and a positioning component for positioning the fixed seat 4 and the rotating seat 5.

[0022] When the conveyor line 1 moves the material holder 3 to the grooving mechanism 2, the drive assembly controls the rotating seat 5 to rotate relative to the fixed seat 4 to a predetermined angle, maintaining it at the required angle. The grooving mechanism 2 cuts the bar when the rotating seat 5 is in the deflected state, forming an inclined cut. This achieves the function of automatically adjusting the angle of the bar during conveying, enabling inclined cutting according to process requirements. It eliminates the need for additional robotic arms or complex oscillating cutters, resulting in a compact structure, low cost, and suitability for continuous production.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly includes a guide rail 6 disposed on the conveyor line 1, a guide member 7 is provided on one side of the rotary seat 5, and a guide groove 8 that cooperates with the guide member 7 is opened on the surface of the guide rail 6 along the transmission direction of the conveyor line 1. The guide groove 8 includes a first guide section 801, an arc-shaped change section 802 and a second guide section 803 connected in sequence. The first guide section 801 is used to allow the guide member 7 to pass through so that the rotating seat 5 is in an initial position aligned with the fixed seat 4. The arc-shaped transition section 802 is used to guide the rotating seat 5 to gradually rotate relative to the fixed seat 4 when the guide member 7 passes through; The second guide section 803 is used to keep the rotating seat 5 in a state of being deflected at a certain angle relative to the fixed seat 4 when the guide member 7 passes through.

[0024] The cooperation between the guide rail 6 and the guide groove 8 enables automatic control of the angle of the rotating seat 5 without power, eliminating the need for additional motors or cylinders and reducing equipment costs and control complexity. The setting of the arc-shaped transition section 802 and the second guide section 803 ensures a smooth transition during the rotation process, maintains a stable angle, and improves cutting accuracy.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the guide component 7 includes a connecting plate 701 fixedly connected to one side of the rotating base 5. The bottom end of the connecting plate 701 is bent to form a horizontal mounting portion 702. A guide wheel 703 is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the mounting portion 702. The diameter of the guide wheel 703 is equal to the width of the guide groove 8. The guide wheel 703 slides within the guide groove 8 to ensure the accuracy of the rotation angle. The rolling engagement between the guide wheel 703 and the guide groove 8 significantly reduces frictional resistance during movement, making the rotation smoother. At the same time, the rotatable setting of the guide wheel 703 avoids wear and jamming caused by rigid contact, improving the operational stability and service life of the equipment.

[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning assembly includes a swing positioning frame 9 disposed at the bottom of the fixed base 4. The swing positioning frame 9 includes a positioning plate 901. Vertically extending support plates 902 are respectively provided on both sides of the positioning plate 901. The upper ends of the two support plates 902 are respectively rotatably connected to the two sides of the fixed base 4 through a rotating shaft. A positioning pin 903 is provided on the upper surface of the positioning plate 901. A first positioning hole 10 that cooperates with the positioning pin 903 is opened on the fixed base 4. A second positioning hole 11 that cooperates with the positioning pin 903 is opened on the rotating base 5.

[0027] Both the first positioning hole 10 and the second positioning hole 11 extend along the length of the fixed seat 4 and the rotating seat 5. The width of the first positioning hole 10 and the second positioning hole 11 is equal to the diameter of the positioning pin 903 to prevent the rotating seat 5 from deflecting during the conveying process. The length of the first positioning hole 10 and the second positioning hole 11 is greater than the diameter of the positioning pin 903 to ensure that the positioning pin 903 can smoothly enter or leave the second positioning hole 11. The device also includes a first driving member for driving the swing positioning frame 9.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the first driving component includes two driving bars 12 disposed on the conveyor line 1. Both driving bars 12 are located below the positioning plate 901 and are respectively disposed on the outer and inner sides of the rotating shaft; a first guide slope 13 is provided at one end of the driving bar 12 facing the feeding direction. Before entering the grooving mechanism 2, when the inner drive bar 12 moves through the first guide inclined surface 13 and abuts against the lower surface of the positioning plate 901, the outer end of the swing positioning frame deflects downward, causing the positioning pin 903 to separate from the second positioning hole 11, thereby driving the rotating seat 5 to rotate under the action of the drive assembly. After the grooving is completed, the material placement seat 3 continues to move with the conveyor line 1 and separates from the inner drive bar 12. At the same time, the positioning plate 901 moves through the first guide inclined surface 13, so that the outer drive bar 12 abuts against the lower surface of the positioning plate 901, causing one end of the swing positioning frame to tilt upward, so that the positioning pin 903 is inserted into the second positioning hole 11, thereby ensuring the stability between the rotating seat 5 and the fixed seat 4 in subsequent production. This achieves automatic control of the insertion and withdrawal of the positioning pin 903 without the need for an additional power source.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotating base 5 includes a U-shaped base body 14, with a material placement block 15 slidingly fitted inside the base body 14 in the vertical direction. The surface of the base body 14 is provided with several vertically extending pins 16, and the material placement block 15 has several through holes for the pins 16 to pass through. It also includes a second driving component for driving the material placement block 15 to slide upwards. Through the relative movement of the pins 16 and the material placement block 15, automatic demolding of the bar after cutting is achieved, avoiding manual material handling and improving the degree of automation. The pins 16 insert and fix the bottom of the bar, ensuring the stability of the bar during cutting and preventing displacement or rotation of the bar due to cutting force.

[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the material block 15 extend out of the two ends of the seat body 14 respectively; the second driving component includes abutment strips 17 disposed on both sides of the conveyor line 1, and a second guide slope 18 is provided at one end of the abutment strip 17 facing the feeding direction. As the material block 15 moves with the conveyor line 1, its end slides along the second guide slope 18 of the abutment bar 17, thereby being gradually lifted. This achieves automatic, non-powered control of the lifting of the material block 15, resulting in a simple and reliable structure. The demolding action is completed by utilizing the movement of the conveyor line 1 itself, eliminating the need for additional cylinders or motors, thus reducing equipment costs and control complexity.

[0031] Vertical limiting plates 19 are provided on both sides of the base 14. The limiting plates 19 have sliding grooves 20 in the vertical direction. Bolts 21 are provided on both sides of the material block 15. The bolts 21 are slidably engaged in the corresponding sliding grooves 20. This provides precise guidance for the lifting and lowering movement of the material block 15 and ensures the stability and verticality of the material block 15 during the sliding process.

[0032] The specific embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
