Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of frozen food processing, in particular to a transport device for correcting the posture of a crisp cone through vibration. Background Art

[0002] In the process of producing ice cream, there is a step of putting the edible cone of ice cream into a tray. Such cones are fragile and can be easily damaged by mechanical claws or other mechanisms. Therefore, they are generally put into the material holes in the tray manually and transported with the tray to the process of filling ice cream. In this step, a situation occurs. Because products such as ice cream need to be stored at low temperatures, the tray will be frozen in a cold storage in the previous process. However, after freezing, a thick layer of irregular shaped frost will form on the tray. When the cone is put into the tray manually, it is easy to be crooked due to the influence of the thick frost. Moreover, since the logistics line is always moving, it is difficult for manual speed to make a secondary correction to its posture. The crooked placement will cause the filler to leak out in the subsequent filling process, causing pallet contamination and material waste. Moreover, since the ice cream needs to be inserted with an ice cream stick, the ice cream stick may be inserted crookedly or missed in the subsequent insertion process, which will lead to a high defective rate.

[0003] In the prior art, crisp tubes are placed into trays manually, and some of them may be placed crookedly. In this case, process personnel are usually required to manually straighten them a second time, but this increases labor costs and greatly reduces production efficiency. Some crooked crisp tubes may still be missed during the second manual straightening. Utility Model Content

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, preferably, a chamfer matching the inclination of the crisp tube body is provided at the opening of the material hole 14 , so that the crisp tube fits the material hole better and is more stable in the material hole 14 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, the vibrator 24 is a pneumatic piston vibrator, the air inlet 241 of the vibrator 24 is connected to the air inlet pipe 242, a throttle valve 243 is arranged on the air inlet pipe 242, the other end of the air inlet pipe 242 is connected to the air source, the air source is a combination of an air compressor and an air storage tank, and the pneumatic piston vibrator has low cost, low maintenance cost and high reliability.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, preferably, the vibration mechanism 2 is provided with a buffer bracket 211, and the buffer bracket 211 is arranged on both sides of the main bracket 21 and in the same horizontal plane. The upper end of the buffer bracket 211 is fixedly connected to the shock-absorbing pad 25, and the auxiliary bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the main bracket 21.
