[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.
[0034] The existing common vermicelli production process mainly includes: grinding or crushing, starch extraction, water addition and stirring, steaming and molding, cooling and drying, a total of 5 steps. After completing the steaming and molding steps, the wet semi-finished vermicelli needs to be transported to a cold storage or air drying equipment for cooling and drying. Since the semi-finished vermicelli is smooth and moist, it cannot be suitable for the existing inclined conveyor belt for feeding processing, so it is necessary to make certain improvements to the feeding equipment.
[0035] In order to achieve the above purpose, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present application provides a novel loading machine, including a mounting frame 1, a lifting assembly 2, a placement plate 3, a mechanical arm 4 and a conveying assembly 5;
[0036] The placement plate 3 is placed on the top of the lifting component 2. The lifting component 2 and the conveying component 5 are arranged inside the mounting frame 1 at intervals. The mechanical arm 4 is movably installed on the mounting frame 1. When the lifting component 2 is lifted to the top, the mechanical arm 4 is used to drive the material in the placement plate 3 to move toward the conveying component 5.
[0037] The usage process of this embodiment is as follows: in the vermicelli production system, the semi-finished vermicelli formed by the steaming and forming steps is moist and smooth and is transferred to the placement plate 3 through the transfer equipment. The placement plate 3 is driven by the lifting component 2 arranged at the bottom of the placement plate 3 and moves upward to above the conveying component 5. At the same time, the lifting component 2 stops driving the height of the placement plate 3 and controls the placement plate 3 to tilt toward the conveying component 5, so that the semi-finished vermicelli in the placement plate 3 falls into the conveying component 5. Then the lifting component 2 drives the placement plate 3 to reset, so that the placement plate 3 and the transfer equipment are at the same height, thereby completing a basic material lifting step.
[0038] In the process of pouring the semi-finished vermicelli from the placement plate 3 to the conveying component 5, the mechanical arm 4 can be used in cooperation to reduce the probability of residual semi-finished vermicelli on the placement plate 3. Among them, the mechanical arm 4 is the most common single-joint mechanical arm 4. After the lifting component 2 completes the tilting action of the placement plate 3, one end of the mechanical arm 4 moves to the highest point of the placement plate 3 and abuts against it, and at the same time slides along the top surface of the placement plate 3 toward the conveying component 5. A brush or a scraper made of flexible materials such as rubber can be installed at one end of the mechanical arm 4 close to the placement plate 3 to prevent the semi-finished vermicelli from being damaged or broken.
[0039] The mounting frame 1 includes four support columns and a crossbeam connecting the tops of the four support rods, forming a rectangular frame structure. A guide rail can be set on the mounting frame 1, and the mechanical arm 4 is movably set on the mounting frame 1 along the guide rail, so that the position of the mechanical arm 4 can be adjusted.
[0040] Specifically, the lifting assembly 2 of this embodiment includes a top plate 21, a first telescopic rod 22 and a second telescopic rod 23;
[0041] The first telescopic rod 22 is arranged at the bottom of the top plate 21 to support the top plate 21. The number of the first telescopic rods 22 is at least four. Any two first telescopic rods 22 form a group. The two first telescopic rods 22 are rotatably connected. The two groups of first telescopic rods 22 are arranged at intervals, so that the top can be driven to move in the vertical direction more stably.
[0042] The second telescopic rod 23 is arranged on the top plate 21 . The number of the second telescopic rods 23 is at least two. The two second telescopic rods 23 are arranged at intervals on a side of the top plate 21 away from the conveying assembly 5 , and are used to drive the placement plate 3 to tilt toward one side of the conveying assembly 5 .
[0043] Optionally, the placement plate 3 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of drainage holes 31, and a drainage groove is provided on the top of the top plate 21. The drainage holes 31 and the drainage groove can be provided to drain the excess water carried by the semi-finished vermicelli in the previous steps, and at the same time, each connection of the lifting component 2 is designed to be sealed and waterproof.
[0044] Optionally, the top edge of the placement plate 3 of the present embodiment is respectively provided with a first baffle 32, a second baffle 33, a third baffle 34 and a fourth baffle 35, the first baffle 32, the second baffle 33, the third baffle 34 and the fourth baffle 35 are sequentially connected to enclose and form a groove with the top of the placement plate 3, the first baffle 32 is close to the conveying component 5, the third baffle 34 is away from the conveying component 5, and the first baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 3.
[0045] The first baffle 32, the second baffle 33, the third baffle 34 and the fourth baffle 35 are connected in sequence to enclose and form a groove with the top of the placement plate 3 to facilitate better placement of the semi-finished vermicelli. The first baffle 32 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 3 so that when the placement plate 3 is tilted, the semi-finished vermicelli in the placement plate 3 can leave the placement plate 3 from the first baffle 32.
[0046] The second baffle plate 33 and the fourth baffle plate 35 are arranged on the side close to each other in an inclined manner along the opening direction of the groove, so as to better place the semi-finished vermicelli noodles when they are added into the plate 3.
[0047] Optionally, a driving motor 38 is provided at the bottom of the placement plate 3 of this embodiment, and a rotating shaft 36 is provided along the extension direction of the first baffle plate 32 . The driving motor 38 and the rotating shaft 36 are rotationally connected via a gear 37 .
[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, driving the first baffle 32 to rotate by driving the motor 38 and rotating the driving motor 38 and the rotating shaft 36 through the gear 37 are only a preferred implementation of this embodiment. In other embodiments, a telescopic rod can be used to adjust the position of the first baffle 32 relative to the placement plate 3, and a transmission belt or other means can also be used for transmission connection.
[0049] Optionally, the mechanical arm 4 of this embodiment is provided with a water spray device 41 at one end close to the placement plate 3. In the process of lifting the placement plate 3, a small amount of water can be sprayed on the top of the semi-finished vermicelli in the placement plate 3 by the water spray component to moisturize it; the water spray component can be an atomizer.
[0050] Optionally, the conveying assembly 5 of this embodiment includes a conveying belt 52 and a vibration motor 51 , and the vibration motor 51 is installed in the conveying belt 52 .
[0051] The semi-finished vermicelli transported on the conveyor belt 52 is vibrated by the vibration motor 51, which can effectively reduce the mixing or knotting of the vermicelli during the transportation process. The conveyor belt 52 is provided with a rib and a side plate, which can effectively reduce the side leakage and scattering of the vermicelli during the transportation process, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the production line.
[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 53 may be provided on the conveying part of the conveyor belt 52, which cooperate with the vibration motor 51 to avoid the mixing of the vermicelli during the conveying process and reduce the sliding of the vermicelli during the transportation process.
[0053] Optionally, the mounting frame 1 of this embodiment is further provided with an air jet assembly 54, which is located above the conveying assembly 5, and the air jet end of the air jet assembly 54 faces the conveying assembly 5. This can further help prevent the sticking of vermicelli, improve the conveying efficiency, and ensure the neatness and separation of the vermicelli during the conveying process.
[0054] The jet assembly 54 includes an air compressor 541 , an air duct 542 and a plurality of jet nozzles 543 . The air compressor 541 is installed on the mounting frame 1 . The air duct 542 connects the air compressor and the plurality of jet nozzles 543 . The plurality of jet nozzles 543 are installed above the conveying assembly 5 at intervals.
[0055] The jet nozzles can be made of food grade stainless steel or other corrosion resistant and easy to clean materials. The nozzles should be evenly distributed above the conveyor belt to ensure that the spray range covers the entire width of the conveyor belt.
[0056] When the semi-finished vermicelli enters the conveyor belt, the air compressor 541 is started. Compressed air is sprayed onto the semi-finished vermicelli through the nozzle at a certain angle and intensity, effectively blowing away the semi-finished vermicelli that stick together and removing the residue on the conveyor belt. The operator can adjust the angle and spray intensity of the nozzle according to the actual situation to achieve the best separation effect.
[0057] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present application.
