Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot pot soup base processing, in particular to a hot pot soup base box removing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional food, hot pot is very popular among people. When eating hot pot, hot pot base is used. In order to facilitate the bagging of hot pot base, there are currently two common production processes for hot pot base: one is to directly fill the semi-solid hot pot base into the packaging bag, and then seal and cool it to form; the other is to quantitatively fill the semi-solid hot pot base into the box-shaped mold, wait for it to cool, and then remove the box, and then send the block hot pot base to the packaging station for bagging and sealing; in the second production process of hot pot base, the box removal of the block hot pot base after cooling is the key to the process. For the box removal of the block hot pot base after cooling, it is mainly to manually transfer the box mold together with the block hot pot base in it to a workbench, and then manually knock the block hot pot base from the box mold, and finally collect the fallen block hot pot base, put it on the conveyor belt, and transport it to the next station. Manual box removal is cumbersome and inefficient, and it is easy to damage the already formed hot pot soup base. Therefore, in order to build automated production, improve work efficiency and reduce labor costs, automatic box removal machines for hot pot soup base have appeared on the market. However, most of the currently used box removal machines can only remove box for square hot pot soup base. For some special-shaped hot pot soup base, the box removal effect is very poor. Moreover, the currently used box removal machines basically use vibration equipment to vibrate the bottom of the mold box of the hot pot soup base, so that the already cooled and formed hot pot soup base is shaken and falls off from the mold box, or uses The cooled and formed hot pot soup base is pushed out from the bottom of the mold box by a telescopic mechanism. Since the hot pot soup base contains a lot of grease, the hot pot soup base is tightly bonded to the mold box and may not fall off when vibrated, resulting in poor box removal effect. Manual secondary box removal is often required. The use of a telescopic mechanism can easily damage the bottom of the mold box. When the liquid hot pot soup base is injected, leakage will occur, and a new mold box needs to be replaced, which increases production costs. In addition, the mold box needs to be checked frequently, which is not conducive to automated production. Therefore, the applicant designed a preheating treatment for the mold box, but the mold box needs to be opened upward during the preheating treatment. After the preheating treatment, the box removal process needs to be performed, and the mold box needs to be turned over to remove the box. However, the currently used box removal machine does not have the corresponding function and cannot meet the automated production needs of enterprises.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a hot pot soup base box removing mechanism comprises a frame 1, on which a conveying component 3, a box turning component 2 and a box removing component 4 are arranged;

[0029] The conveying component 3 is connected with the box turning component 2 to convey the mold box and the hot pot soup base material to be removed from the box. The box removing component 4 is arranged above the conveying component 3 and acts on the bottom of the mold box to remove the hot pot soup base material from the mold box.

[0030] The box turning assembly 2 includes a turning motor 201, the output shaft of the turning motor 201 is connected to the turning shaft 202, a turning blade 203 is fixed on the turning shaft 202, a turning cylinder 204 is symmetrically arranged on the turning blade 203, a clamping plate 205 is arranged on the output shaft of the turning cylinder 204, and the two clamping plates 205 are arranged facing each other.

[0031] The flip cylinder 204 drives the clamping plate 205 to move toward each other, and the mold box moved onto the flip blade 203 is clamped and fixed on the flip blade 203. Then, the flip motor 201 drives the flip shaft 202 to rotate, thereby driving the mold box fixed on the flip blade 203 to flip, so that the mold box opens downward, which is convenient for the subsequent box removal component 4 to remove the bottom of the mold box.

[0032] The conveying assembly 3 includes a feed conveyor belt 301, a discharge conveyor belt 302 and a box conveying rack 303. The feed conveyor belt 301 is located at the feed end of the box turning assembly 2, the discharge conveyor belt 302 is located at the discharge end of the box turning assembly 2, the box conveying rack 303 is arranged parallel to the discharge conveyor belt 302, and one end of the box conveying rack 303 is located at the discharge end of the box turning assembly 2, and the bottom surface of the end is against the discharge conveyor belt 302.

[0033] The feeding conveyor belt 301 conveys the previously processed mold box to the feeding end of the box turning assembly 2. After the mold box is turned over by the box turning assembly 2, the mold box is placed on the box conveying rack 303. Since the box conveying rack 303 is abutted against the discharging conveyor belt 302, the discharging conveyor belt 302 can drive the mold box to move on the box conveying rack 303. When passing through the box removing assembly 4, the hot pot base material is removed from the mold box by the box removing assembly 4. The mold box continues to move on the box conveying rack 303 due to the push of the mold box behind, and the hot pot base material falls from the mold box onto the discharging conveyor belt 302, and is transported to the subsequent processing equipment by the discharging conveyor belt 302.

[0034] The box conveyor rack 303 is composed of two symmetrically arranged conveyor rack units 30301, and a gap is left between the two conveyor rack units 30301. The vertical section of the conveyor rack unit 30301 is a channel steel structure, and the openings of the two conveyor rack units 30301 are arranged facing each other. The bottom side wall of the conveyor rack unit 30301 supports the edge of the mold box, and the other side wall limits the moving direction of the mold box.

[0035] Two conveyor rack units 30301 form a box conveyor rack 303, which allows the mold box to move inside it. At the same time, the gap above can allow the box removal component 4 to pass through and act on the bottom of the mold box inside it, and the gap below also makes it easy for the hot pot base material to fall off from the mold box and fall onto the discharge conveyor belt 302, thereby separating the hot pot base material and the mold box.

[0036] One end of the box conveying frame 303 away from the box turning assembly 2 is arranged to be inclined upward.

[0037] The mold box and the hot pot base are transported separately. On the one hand, it is convenient to separate the hot pot base from the mold box. On the other hand, it is convenient for the actual production needs of the enterprise to transport the mold box and the hot pot base to different processing positions.

[0038] The box removing assembly 4 includes a lifting cylinder 401, which is fixed on the frame 1 and located above the box conveying rack 303. A fixed plate 402 is provided on the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 401. A vibration probe 403 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 402 adjacent to the box conveying rack 303, and a pneumatic vibrator 404 is provided on the other symmetrical side.

[0039] The vibration probe 403 is moved by the lifting cylinder 401 so that the vibration probe 403 contacts the bottom of the mold box, and the pneumatic vibrator 404 drives the vibration probe 403 to vibrate, so that the vibration probe 403 vibrates the bottom of the mold box. The vibration of the mold box separates the hot pot base inside from the inner wall of the mold box, thereby causing the hot pot base to fall off from the mold box.

[0040] The discharging conveyor belt 302 is evenly provided with partition blocks 30201 , and the distance between adjacent partition blocks 30201 is the same as the length of the mold box.

[0041] The mold boxes are separated by the partition block 30201 so that the mold boxes will not affect each other. At the same time, the partition plate also enables the discharge conveyor belt 302 to push the mold boxes to move on the box conveyor frame 303 when moving.

[0042] An adjustable foot 5 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1 .

[0043] The height of the frame 1 is adjusted by the adjustable foot 5 so that the frame 1 remains horizontal, and the feed conveyor belt 301, the discharge conveyor belt 302 and the box conveyor rack 303 remain horizontal, thereby ensuring the stability of the mold box in the moving direction on the feed conveyor belt 301 and the box conveyor rack 303, and the stability of the hot pot base in the moving direction on the discharge conveyor belt 302.

[0044] When in use, the mold box with the hot pot base solidified inside is preheated at the bottom and then transported to the flip blade 203 by the feeding conveyor belt 301. When the mold box reaches the flip blade 203, the flip cylinder 204 is started to make the two clamps 205 move toward each other, clamping the mold box on the flip blade 203, and then the flip motor 201 is started. The flip motor 201 drives the flip shaft 202 to rotate, and the rotation of the flip shaft 202 drives the flip blade 203 to rotate, thereby turning the mold box fixed on the flip blade 203, so that the mold box is turned from opening upward to opening downward, and the flipped mold box is placed in the box conveying frame 303 with the flip blade 203 after flipping, and then pushed by the partition block 30201 on the discharge conveyor belt 302. The movable mold box moves on the box conveying rack 303. When the swing mold box moves to the bottom of the box removing assembly 4, the lifting cylinder 401 is started, so that the vibration probe 403 is against the bottom of the mold box, and the pneumatic vibrator 404 is started, so that the pneumatic vibrator 404 drives the vibration probe 403 to vibrate, and the vibration is transmitted to the mold box through the vibration probe 403. The mold box vibrates, so that the hot pot soup base material inside it is loosely connected to the inner wall of the mold box, and falls from the mold box to the discharge conveyor belt 302, and the mold box continues to move under the push of the partition plate. Since the box conveying rack 303 is tilted upward, the mold box is conveyed to the mold box collecting device by the box conveying rack 303, and the hot pot soup base material that falls on the discharge conveyor belt 302 is conveyed to subsequent processing equipment by the discharge conveyor belt 302.

[0045] In actual use, a box turning shield is set at the position of the box turning assembly 2 on the frame 1. The box turning shield can prevent the melted hot pot base from splashing out during turning, thereby avoiding affecting the safety of workers and polluting the factory environment. On the other hand, it can also prevent the mold box from falling off the turning blade 203.

[0046] An anti-skid layer is provided on the surface of the clamping plate 205 to increase the friction between the clamping plate 205 and the surface of the mold box, thereby improving the stability of the clamping and fixing of the mold box on the flip blade 203 and further preventing the mold box from falling off the flip blade 203.

[0047] In the actual production of the enterprise, a PLC electric control cabinet is added, and the conveying component 3, the box turning component 2 and the box removing component 4 are uniformly controlled through the PLC electric control cabinet to improve the automatic control of the equipment and meet the large-scale production needs of the enterprise.

[0048] An infrared sensor is arranged on the clamping cylinder, and the mold box is sensed by the infrared sensor. When the mold box is sensed, the box turning cylinder is started, thereby further improving the automation degree of the box removing mechanism.

[0049] The box-removing mechanism can increase the service life of the mold box and improve the integrity of the hot pot base.

[0050] The above are only specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model; in the absence of conflicts, the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
