Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food equipment, in particular to a pipe insertion device for assembling a cooking machine. Background Art

[0002] A cooking machine is a kitchen device used to realize automated cooking, which can realize automated operation and intelligent control of the cooking process. At present, cooking machines have been widely used in various restaurants or home kitchens. Cooking machines can save manpower and improve cooking efficiency; and the dishes produced by cooking machines have strong uniformity and stability in taste and quality, which can avoid the problem of uneven quality and taste of dishes due to differences in personal technical levels of chefs.

[0003] A cooking machine is generally provided with a material conveying pipeline for conveying materials such as condiments. For example, metal joints and pipelines are provided at the feed port and the discharge port of the cooking machine. The pipeline is usually made of a hard pipe made of PC material. During assembly, the hard pipe made of PC material needs to be sleeved on the metal joint. In the prior art, this operation is mainly implemented manually. Workers generally soften the hard pipe with hot water first, and then manually put the softened pipe on the metal joint. This assembly method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the production quality cannot be guaranteed. Because each worker has different technical proficiency and assembly experience, it is difficult to ensure the depth of the metal joint inserted into the pipe. If the insertion is too deep, the use length of the pipe will increase, and the production cost will increase; if the insertion is too shallow, the strength of the connection will be reduced. If the connection is not firm, it is easy to cause the pipe to fall off and the material to leak, affecting the user experience of the entire cooking machine. Therefore, the present application aims to provide a pipe insertion device for a cooking machine to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a pipe insertion device for assembling a cooking machine, which can improve the efficiency of connecting and assembling the pipes at the feed inlet or the discharge port during the production and assembly of the cooking machine and ensure the connection quality.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a pipe insertion device for assembling a cooking machine, comprising a bottom plate, on which a pipe fixing mechanism, a joint fixing mechanism and a pushing and inserting mechanism are installed, the pipe fixing mechanism comprising a fixing base, a clamping lever and a clamping cylinder; the joint fixing mechanism is installed on the movable end of the pushing and inserting mechanism, and the position of the joint fixing mechanism corresponds to that of the pipe fixing mechanism, the joint fixing mechanism is used to fix the metal joint, the pipe fixing mechanism is used to fix the pipe, and the joint fixing mechanism can insert the metal joint into the pipe under the action of the pushing and inserting mechanism.

[0006] Furthermore, a groove for accommodating the pipe is provided on the fixed base, and the direction of the groove is parallel to the movement direction of the pushing and inserting mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the groove is provided with teeth, and the teeth are used to increase the friction resistance, which is helpful to prevent the pipeline and the fixed seat from sliding relative to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the groove is divided into two sections, and the widths of the two sections are different, wherein the width of the section close to the joint fixing mechanism is larger than the width of the other section. This is because when the metal joint is inserted into the pipe, the diameter of the pipe will increase at the overlap of the two sections, and the width is increased to adapt to the deformation at that section. Preferably, the length of the section with the larger width in the groove should be adapted to the designed insertion depth of the metal joint, for example, the length is equal.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping cylinder is arranged beside the fixed base, and the clamping lever includes a bracket and a crossbar, the bracket is hinged to the middle of the crossbar, one end of the crossbar is hinged to the piston rod of the clamping cylinder, and when the piston rod moves telescopically, the crossbar is driven to swing synchronously. It should be noted that the hinge between the bracket and the crossbar or the hinge between the piston rod and the crossbar needs to be loosely fitted to prevent interference when the clamping lever is working, for example, the pin hole on the crossbar that cooperates with the piston rod can be a straight notch, and the straight notch is ensured to have a specific length.

[0010] Further, the movable plane of the crossbar is in an intersecting relationship with the groove. Preferably, the movable plane of the crossbar is perpendicular to the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross bar cooperates with a section of the groove with a smaller width, that is, the cross bar moves above the section of the groove with a smaller width.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the crossbar that contacts the pipe is provided with teeth, which are used to increase friction, thereby better pressing the pipe against the fixed base, and preventing the pipe and the fixed base from sliding relative to each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the pushing and inserting mechanism is a pushing and inserting cylinder, and can also be a telescopic driving mechanism such as an oil cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0014] Furthermore, a switch is also provided on the bottom plate, and the switch is used to control the operation of the pressing cylinder and the pushing and inserting mechanism.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the pipe insertion device for a cooking machine of the utility model is simple and convenient to use, and the plugging action is realized by the cylinder, which saves time and effort, and can accurately control the insertion depth, while ensuring the connection strength, saving pipe materials as much as possible to reduce production costs. After adjustment, the device can also be used for operations such as punching and crimping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Methods or functional components not specifically described in the embodiments are all prior art. Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used in this document have the same meanings as those generally understood by technicians in this technical field.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-7As shown, this embodiment is a pipe insertion device for assembling a cooking machine, including a bottom plate 1, which is 45 cm long, 35 cm wide, and 6 mm thick, and is made of 304 stainless steel, with sufficient strength to support and fix other components. A pipeline fixing mechanism, a joint fixing mechanism 4, and a push-insertion cylinder 2 are installed on the bottom plate 1, and the pipeline fixing mechanism includes a fixed card seat 6, a clamping lever 8, and a clamping cylinder 9; the joint fixing mechanism 4 is installed on the movable block 3 of the push-insertion cylinder 2, and the joint fixing mechanism 4 corresponds to the position of the pipeline fixing mechanism, and the joint fixing mechanism 4 is used to fix the metal joint 5. The joint fixing mechanism 4 in this embodiment is provided with a blind hole 41 for fixing the joint, and the straight metal joint 5 can be inserted into the blind hole 41. Under the action of the push-insertion cylinder 2, the joint fixing mechanism 4 can drive the metal joint 5 to approach the pipeline fixing mechanism and accurately insert the metal joint 5 into the pipeline 7.

[0027] A groove 61 for fixing the pipe 7 is provided on the fixed base 6, and the direction of the groove 61 is parallel to the movement direction of the push cylinder 2. In this embodiment, a tooth pattern (not shown) is also provided on the inner wall of the groove 61, and the tooth pattern can be used to increase the friction resistance, which is helpful to prevent the relative sliding of the pipe 7 and the fixed base 6. The groove 61 is divided into two sections, and the widths of the two sections of the groove 61 are different, wherein the width of the section close to the joint fixing mechanism 4 is larger than the width of the other section. This is because when the metal joint 5 is inserted into the pipe 7, the diameter of the pipe 7 will increase at the overlap of the two, and increasing the width of the groove 61 can adapt to the deformation. And the length of the wider section of the groove 61 is equivalent to the designed insertion depth of the metal joint 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the clamping cylinder 9 is arranged beside the fixed card seat 6, and the clamping lever 8 includes a bracket 81 and a cross bar 82. The bracket 81 is hinged to the middle part of the cross bar 82, and one end of the cross bar 82 is hinged to the piston rod 91 of the clamping cylinder 9. When the piston rod 91 moves telescopically, the cross bar 82 is driven to swing synchronously. It should be noted that the hinge between the bracket 81 and the cross bar 82 or the hinge between the piston rod 91 and the cross bar 82 needs to be loosely matched to prevent interference when the clamping lever 8 is working. For example, the pin hole on the cross bar 82 can be a straight slot (waist-shaped hole).

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable plane of the crossbar 82 is perpendicular to the groove 61. The crossbar 82 moves above a section of the groove 61 with a smaller width. This is because if the crossbar 82 moves in a section of the groove 61 with a larger width, when the crossbar 82 is pressed, it will press on the position where the pipe 7 and the metal joint 5 match, which will affect the insertion of the metal joint 5 into the pipe 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, the side surface of the cross bar 82 that contacts the pipe 7 is also provided with teeth. The teeth are used to increase the friction force, thereby better pressing the pipe 7 onto the fixed base 6, and preventing the pipe 7 from sliding relative to the fixed base 6. A switch 10 is also provided on the bottom plate 1, and the switch 10 is used to control the operation of the pressing cylinder 9 and the pushing cylinder 2.

[0031] The use process of the intubation device in this embodiment: initially, the movable block 3 of the pushing and inserting cylinder 2 is away from the pipe fixing mechanism, and the clamping lever 8 of the pipe fixing mechanism is in a loosened state. At this time, the straight metal joint 5 can be placed in the blind hole 41 of the joint fixing mechanism 4, and the pipe 7 of the corresponding PC material can be placed in the groove 61 of the fixed clamping seat 6. The switch 10 for controlling the clamping cylinder 9 is turned on to make the piston rod 91 of the clamping cylinder 9 rise, so that one end of the cross bar 82 rises synchronously. According to the lever principle, the other end of the cross bar 82 will drop, thereby clamping the pipe 7 and keeping the clamping lever 8 in a clamped state; at this time, the pushing and inserting cylinder 2 is started, and the movable block 3 of the pushing and inserting cylinder 2 will drive the joint fixing mechanism 4 and the metal joint 5 to move toward the fixed clamping seat 6, and the metal joint 5 is inserted into the pipe 7, thereby realizing quick plug-in, and the stroke of the pushing and inserting cylinder 2 can be accurately controlled, and the plug-in depth is more accurate and stable than manual. After the connection and pressing is completed, the movable block 3 of the push-insertion cylinder 2 returns to the initial position, and the metal joint remains in the pipeline. Then the piston rod 91 of the clamping cylinder 9 is lowered, and the clamping lever 8 returns to the loose state, and the finished product can be removed and wait for the next operation.

[0032] If it is necessary to plug in an elbow joint, it is only necessary to replace the joint fixing mechanism 4 with a joint fixing mechanism suitable for fixing the elbow joint. The operation method is the same and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have combinations and modifications of the aforementioned technical features. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, those skilled in the art may improve, modify, or replace the present invention with equivalents, or apply the structure or method of the present invention to other fields to achieve the same effect, which all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
