[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to material conveying, in particular to a tableware conveying device. Background Art

[0002] Tableware is one of people's daily necessities. With the acceleration of the current pace of life, convenient and fast disposable tableware has emerged, especially in the current catering and takeaway industries, the consumption of disposable tableware is increasing. Common disposable tableware includes knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, etc.

[0003] With the advancement of technology and changes in market demand, some tableware forming mechanisms have gradually appeared on the market. During the forming and conveying process, these tableware forming mechanisms are generally equipped with conveyor belts or conveyor belts to convey cutlery such as knives, forks, and spoons. However, when these tableware are transmitted on the conveyor belt, because the cutlery such as knives, forks, and spoons are placed flat on the conveyor belt and there are no other positioning or protection mechanisms, the conveyor belt may cause the tableware to shift or fall due to vibration or uneven speed during operation, and the friction or collision between the conveyor belt and the tableware may cause damage to the tableware.

[0004] Therefore, the formed tableware in the tableware forming mechanism in the prior art is prone to shifting and falling when being transported on the conveyor belt, and even causes the tableware to be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the formed tableware in the tableware forming mechanism in the prior art is easily displaced and dropped when being transmitted on a conveyor belt, and even causes damage to the tableware.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the utility model discloses a tableware conveying device, including a bracket, a material conveying mechanism and at least one tensioning force adjusting mechanism.

[0007] A conveying platform extending in the horizontal direction is arranged on the bracket. The material conveying mechanism includes a driving assembly, a rotating assembly and a conveying assembly which are sequentially connected in transmission.

[0037] With the accelerated pace of life, convenient and quick disposable tableware has emerged. Common disposable tableware includes knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks, etc. In the prior art, there have been many tableware forming mechanisms or forming equipment. These forming mechanisms or forming equipment generally convey tableware such as knives, forks, spoons, etc. through a conveyor belt or a conveyor belt during the conveying process. The tableware is placed flat on the conveyor belt or conveyor belt during the conveying process. However, when the conveyor belt is running, it may cause the tableware to shift or fall due to vibration or uneven speed, and the friction or collision between the conveyor belt and the tableware may cause damage to the tableware.

[0038] Therefore, the present application discloses a tableware conveying device, which is configured to convey the tableware by means of a conveying chain. The tableware can be relatively positioned on the conveying chain, and a tension adjustment mechanism is also provided to adjust the tension of the conveying chain, thereby ensuring that the tableware is continuously and stably conveyed as the chain moves. The tension adjustment mechanism has better flexibility and adaptability, and can also improve the conveying efficiency and stability of the conveying chain.

[0039] Next, the specific structure of the tableware conveying device disclosed in this application is explained and described in detail:

[0040] The embodiment of the utility model discloses a tableware conveying device, see Figure 1 The tableware conveying device includes a support 100 , a material conveying mechanism 200 and at least one tensioning force adjusting mechanism 300 .

[0041] A conveying platform 110 extending in the horizontal direction is provided on the bracket 100. The material conveying mechanism 200 includes a driving assembly, a rotating assembly and a conveying assembly which are sequentially connected in transmission, the rotating assembly includes a driving wheel group 220 and a driven wheel group 230 which are arranged at both ends of the conveying platform 110 along the length direction of the conveying platform 110, the driving assembly is arranged at one side of the driving wheel group 220 and is in transmission connection with the driving wheel group 220, and the conveying assembly includes a conveying chain 240 which surrounds the conveying platform 110 in the horizontal direction and is respectively sleeved on the driving wheel group 220 and the driven wheel group 230 at both ends.

[0042] Through this structural design, when the driving wheel group 220 rotates, it drives the conveying chain 240 to rotate. When the chain rotates, it drives the tableware placed on the chain to move forward along the direction of the conveying chain 240. The driving wheel group 220 and the driven wheel group 230 can be, for example, sprockets, etc., and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0043] More specifically, in the present embodiment, the conveying chain 240 can be set to 1, 2, 3 or even more chains. For example, when 1 conveying chain 240 is provided, 1 driving wheel group 220 and 1 driven wheel group 230 are provided. When 2 conveying chains 240 are provided, the 2 conveying chains 240 are arranged at intervals, and there are 2 driving wheel groups 220 and 2 driven wheel groups 230 correspondingly. When 3 conveying chains 240 are provided, the 3 conveying chains 240 are arranged at intervals, and there are 3 driving wheel groups 220 and 3 driven wheel groups 230 correspondingly. Those skilled in the art can design and adjust according to actual needs, and the present embodiment does not make a sole limitation on this.

[0044] More preferably, in one preferred implementation of the present embodiment, the driving wheel set 220 includes a pair of driving gears, and the driven wheel set 230 includes a pair of driven gears.

[0045] See also Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The tensioning force adjustment mechanism 300 is arranged on the bracket 100 below the conveying platform 110. Each tensioning force adjustment mechanism 300 includes an adjustment track 310 extending in the vertical direction, and an adjustment wheel group 320 that can slide in the vertical direction along the adjustment track 310. The adjustment wheel group 320 is transmission-connected to the conveying chain 240 located below the conveying platform 110.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjustment track 310 can be set to a guide rail, a sliding rail, a guide groove or the like, and then the adjustment wheel group 320 can be slidably set on the adjustment track 310. When adjusting the tension of the conveying chain 240, the closer the adjustment wheel group 320 is to the side of the conveying platform 110, the looser the tension of the conveying chain 240 is adjusted. The farther the adjustment wheel group 320 is set to be from the side of the conveying platform 110, the tighter the tension of the conveying chain 240 is adjusted. Technical personnel in this field can make adjustments according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0047] By adopting this structural design, the present application provides a tableware conveying device that is conveyed by a conveyor chain 240, which can place or put the formed tableware on the conveyor chain 240. The conveyor chain 240 can relatively position the tableware to prevent the tableware from shifting, falling or colliding during the conveying process, so as to ensure continuous and stable conveyance of the tableware, and also have a higher conveying speed. The conveying speed can also be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the driving wheel group 220.

[0048] Furthermore, the tableware conveying device adjusts the tension of the conveying chain 240 by providing a tension adjustment mechanism 300, wherein the adjustment wheel group 320 of the tension adjustment mechanism 300 is transmission-connected to the conveying chain 240, and the tension of the conveying chain 240 can be adjusted by adjusting the position, angle or height of the adjustment wheel group 320, which has better flexibility and adaptability, and can also improve the conveying efficiency and stability of the conveying chain 240.

[0049] Further, in a preferred implementation disclosed in this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The conveying chain 240 includes a first chain 241 and a second chain 242 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the conveying platform 110, and the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are synchronously driven. The conveying platform 110 is provided with a conveying trough 111 for the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 to drive and convey materials in the middle of the width direction.

[0050] Furthermore, the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are both provided with a plurality of conveying teeth 243 at intervals along their length direction, and the conveying teeth 243 extend from the body of the first chain 241 or the second chain 242 in a direction away from the conveying platform 110, and a limit slot is also provided on each conveying tooth 243. The plurality of conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can be aligned one by one in the width direction of the conveying platform 110 and synchronously driven; or the plurality of conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can be staggered one by one in the width direction of the conveying platform 110 and synchronously driven.

[0051] For example, the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are both configured to have a conveying tooth 243 every 10 cm, that is, the interval between any two adjacent conveying teeth 243 is 10 cm. When the multiple conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can be aligned one by one in the width direction of the conveying platform 110, the interval between the two adjacent conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 is also 10 cm. When the multiple conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can be misaligned one by one in the width direction of the conveying platform 110, for example, when the misalignment is 2 cm, all the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are staggered by 2 cm in the length direction of the conveying platform 110. When the misalignment is 3 cm, all the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are staggered by 3 cm in the length direction of the conveying platform 110. Therefore, when conveying tableware with irregular shapes and uneven widths, such as spoons, knives, forks, etc., the offset distance or offset displacement of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can be adjusted according to the size, shape or size of the corresponding tableware. Those skilled in the art can adjust and design according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0052] With this structural design, the two conveying chains 240 can be adjusted according to demand, so that the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 can stably and efficiently transport tableware and relatively confine the tableware to the space between two adjacent conveying teeth 243.

[0053] Further preferably, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The tableware conveying device further includes an auxiliary adjustment mechanism 400, which is located below the conveying platform 110, and is disposed on one side of the tension adjustment mechanism 300 in the length direction of the conveying platform 110 and can move along the length direction of the conveying platform 110. The auxiliary adjustment mechanism 400 includes an auxiliary adjustment wheel set. The conveying chain 240 passes through the adjustment wheel set 320 and the auxiliary adjustment wheel set in sequence below the conveying platform 110, and the conveying chain 240 passes through the adjustment wheel set 320 and the auxiliary adjustment wheel set in sequence in an "S" shape.

[0054] With this arrangement, when the conveying chain 240 passes through the adjusting wheel set 320 and the auxiliary adjusting wheel set in an "S" shape, the vibration of the chain will be effectively suppressed. Because the chain changes direction alternately between multiple wheel sets, this design can absorb and disperse the vibration energy in the operation of the chain, making the chain run more smoothly, and by adjusting the position of the auxiliary adjusting wheel set, the tension distribution of the chain can be fine-tuned so that the chain maintains a uniform tension state during the conveying process. It helps to improve the accuracy and stability of the conveying, optimize the adjustment of the tension force, so that the tension of the chain is evenly distributed throughout the conveying process, and can reduce the risk of wear and breakage of the chain due to uneven tension.

[0055] Further preferably, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The support 100 includes at least one pair of support columns 120 disposed below the conveying platform 110. The support columns 120 can support the conveying platform 110. The pair of support columns 120 are aligned with each other in the width direction of the conveying platform 110. Each tensioning force adjustment mechanism 300 is disposed on a corresponding support column 120. Each tensioning force adjustment mechanism 300 includes two adjustment rails 310 respectively disposed on the pair of support columns 120, and a pair of adjustment gears 321 respectively connected to the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 in a transmission manner. The pair of adjustment gears 321 constitute an adjustment wheel set 320. In addition, the pair of adjustment gears 321 are spaced apart on the adjustment shaft 322 in the width direction of the conveying platform 110, and the two ends of the adjustment shaft 322 are rotatably disposed on the adjustment rails 310 on the corresponding side.

[0056] More preferably, both ends of the adjustment shaft 322 are slidably adapted to the adjustment track 310 on the corresponding side through respective adjustment seats 323. Each adjustment seat 323 is provided with a rotating bearing 325, and the corresponding end of the adjustment shaft 322 is rotatably connected to the adjustment seat 323 through the rotating bearing 325. In addition, limit members 324 are also provided on each support column 120 and at the upper and lower ends of the adjustment track 310.

[0057] For example, in one implementation, each support column 120 is provided with an adjustment track 310, and the adjustment track 310 is preferably configured as a guide rail. The end of the adjustment shaft 322 is provided with an adjustment seat 323 that can slide with the guide rail. The adjustment seat 323 can switch between a sliding state and a locking state relative to the guide rail, and then adjust the height of a pair of adjustment gears 321 to adjust the tension of the chain.

[0058] For further information, see Figure 2, the auxiliary adjustment wheel set includes a pair of auxiliary adjustment gears 410 respectively connected to the first chain 241 and the second chain 242. Auxiliary adjustment tracks are respectively arranged on the lower surface of the conveying platform 110 and at both ends in the width direction. A pair of auxiliary adjustment gears 410 are arranged on the auxiliary adjustment shaft at intervals in the width direction of the conveying platform 110, and the two ends of the auxiliary adjustment shaft are rotatably arranged on the auxiliary adjustment tracks on the corresponding side. The driving wheel set 220 includes a pair of driving gears respectively connected to the first chain 241 and the second chain 242, and the driven wheel set 230 includes a pair of driven gears respectively connected to the first chain 241 and the second chain 242.

[0059] Please note that, see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The adjustment direction of the auxiliary adjustment gear 410 is set along the lower surface of the conveying platform 110, so the adjustment direction of the auxiliary adjustment gear 410 is perpendicular to the direction of the adjustment gear 321. Specifically, the direction of the adjustment gear 321 is adjusted along the vertical direction, and the adjustment direction of the auxiliary adjustment gear 410 is adjusted along the horizontal direction.

[0060] At least one of the pair of driving gears is provided with an adjustment hoop (not shown in the figure), which can be switched between a tightening state and an adjustment state. When the adjustment hoop is in the adjustment state, the phase angle of the corresponding driving gear can be adjusted relative to the conveying platform 110 to adjust the corresponding positions of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 in the width direction of the conveying platform 110. More specifically, the adjustment hoop can be adjusted by bolts, nuts or other threaded members.

[0061] It should be noted that when the adjustment hoop is in the adjustment state, the phase angle of the corresponding driving gear can be adjusted relative to the conveying platform 110 to adjust the corresponding position of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 in the width direction of the conveying platform 110, which means that when the adjustment hoop is in the adjustment state, the driving gear can be relatively rotated and adjusted. For example, when the phase angle of the driving gear adjusted relative to the conveying platform 110 is 90 degrees, the corresponding conveying chain 240 walks around the driving gear by 2 cm, and the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are displaced by 2 cm. When the phase angle of the driving gear adjusted relative to the conveying platform 110 is 180 degrees, the corresponding conveying chain 240 walks around the driving gear by 4 cm, and the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are displaced by 4 cm. Therefore, those skilled in the art can adjust the dislocation spacing of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 by adjusting the rotation phase angle of the driving gear, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0062] More preferably, in this embodiment, the driving assembly includes a driving motor 210, an active driving wheel and a driven driving wheel, the active driving wheel is connected to the power output end of the driving motor 210, and the driven driving wheel is drivingly connected to the driving wheel assembly 220. The active driving wheel and the driven driving wheel are drivingly connected via a transmission chain.

[0063] In the tableware conveying device disclosed in this embodiment, the conveying trough 111 is further provided with protective plates 112 on both sides in the width direction, and the protective plates 112 are provided to protrude upward from the upper surface of the conveying platform 110. The protective plates 112 on both sides of the conveying trough 111 provide conveying space for the conveying chain 240 to prevent other foreign objects from falling into the conveying trough 111 and affecting the stability of the conveying chain 240 in conveying tableware.

[0064] A first material support frame is provided between the first chain 241 and the second chain 242, and a second material support frame is provided on both sides of the first chain 241 and the second chain 242. The first material support frame and the second material support frame are both extended along the length direction. The first material support frame and the second material support frame play an auxiliary supporting role for the transported tableware.

[0065] In summary, the utility model discloses a tableware conveying device, wherein a conveying platform 110 extending in a horizontal direction is arranged on a bracket 100 of the tableware conveying device, a first chain 241 and a second chain 242 are arranged at intervals in the middle of the conveying platform 110, a driving wheel group 220 and a driven wheel group 230 are arranged at both ends in the length direction of the conveying platform 110, wherein a driving motor 210 is arranged on one side of the driving wheel group 220, and a tensioning force adjusting mechanism 300 and an auxiliary adjusting mechanism 400 are also arranged below the conveying platform 110, the tensioning force adjusting mechanism 300 is adjustably arranged along the support column 120 (in the height direction), and the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 400 is adjustably arranged along the lower surface of the conveying platform 110 (in the horizontal direction). The tension adjustment mechanism 300 and the auxiliary adjustment mechanism 400 cooperate with each other, and the conveying chain 240 surrounds in an "S" shape and passes through the adjustment wheel set 320 of the tension adjustment mechanism 300 and the auxiliary adjustment wheel set of the auxiliary adjustment mechanism 400 in sequence, absorbing and dispersing the vibration energy in the operation of the chain, making the chain run more smoothly and better adjusting the tension.

[0066] Furthermore, at least one of the pair of driving gears is provided with an adjustment hoop, which can be switched between a tightening state and an adjustment state. In the adjustment state, the adjustment hoop can adjust the offset spacing of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 by adjusting the rotation phase angle of the driving gear.

[0067] Finally, the conveying and working process of the tableware conveying device disclosed in this embodiment is described:

[0068] Before conveying tableware, it is necessary to adjust the position of the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242. For example, when the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 need to be adjusted one by one to be offset by 2 cm, the adjustment hoop is adjusted to the adjustment state, and then the rotation phase angle of the corresponding driving gear is adjusted so that the conveying teeth 243 on the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 are offset by 2 cm one by one, and then the adjustment hoop is adjusted to the tightening state. Then start the driving motor 210 to drive the active gear to rotate (for example, rotate clockwise), and at the same time drive the first chain 241 and the second chain 242 to convey forward, and while conveying the chain 240, place a single or multiple tableware between two adjacent conveying teeth 243 in sequence, and when the conveying teeth 243 move forward with the chain, the tableware also moves forward with the chain, and the stability of the tableware during the transmission process is good. Furthermore, the chain is "S"-shaped under the conveying platform 110 and passes through the adjusting wheel group 320 and the auxiliary adjusting wheel group in sequence. When the tension of the chain is too loose, the adjusting wheel group 320 or the auxiliary adjusting wheel group is adjusted to increase the tension of the chain. When the tension of the chain is too tight, the adjusting wheel group 320 or the auxiliary adjusting wheel group is adjusted to reduce the tension of the chain.
