[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 7 A dough feeding device comprises a frame 10, a feeding conveyor belt 20, a discharging mechanism 30 and a feeding plate 40. The feeding conveyor belt 20 is arranged on the frame 10. The feeding conveyor belt 20 is used to convey the dough. The discharging mechanism 30 is arranged in the frame 10. The discharging mechanism 30 is connected to the output end of the feeding conveyor belt 20. The discharging mechanism 30 is used to convert the conveying direction of the dough. The feeding plate 40 is arranged at the output end of the discharging mechanism 30. A plurality of accommodating grooves 41 are arranged on the feeding plate 40. The plurality of accommodating grooves 41 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the feeding plate 40. The length direction of the feeding plate 40 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the feeding conveyor belt 20. The accommodating grooves 41 are used to place the dough.
[0026] It can be understood that the discharge mechanism 30 can change the conveying direction of the single row of dough on the feeding conveyor belt 20 into multiple rows with equal spacing. The whole process is automated and does not require manual labor, which greatly improves efficiency.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The discharge mechanism 30 includes a transfer assembly 31, a transfer assembly 32 and a discharge assembly 33. The transfer assembly 31 is disposed at the output end of the feed conveyor belt 20. The transfer assembly 31 can transfer the dough from the output end of the feed conveyor belt 20 to the transfer assembly 32. The discharge assembly 33 can arrange the dough into a spacing of a plurality of receiving grooves 41. The discharge assembly 33 can output the dough from the transfer assembly 32 to the loading plate 40. The transfer assembly 32 can transfer the dough to the discharge assembly 33 one by one.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The transfer assembly 31 includes at least four groups of transfer plates 311 arranged closely together. The transfer plates 311 are provided with transfer grooves 311a. The transfer grooves 311a are used to accommodate dough. The four groups of transfer plates 311 are rotatably arranged on the frame 10. The transfer assembly 31 is located above the transfer assembly 32.
[0029] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the adapter grooves 311 a of the four groups of adapter plates 311 are all in an aligned state.
[0030] It is understandable that when the dough falls into the transfer groove 311a from the output end of the feed conveyor belt 20, the transfer assembly 31 rotates, and when the transfer groove 311a containing the dough rotates a certain angle, the dough slides into the transfer assembly 32 below under the action of gravity.
[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The transfer assembly 32 includes a transfer driving wheel 321, a transfer chain 322, a plurality of transfer carts 323 and a lap rail 324. There are two groups of transfer driving wheels 321. The two groups of transfer driving wheels 321 are rotatably arranged on the frame 10. The transfer chain 322 is wound around the two groups of transfer driving wheels 321 and is located on one side of the two groups of transfer driving wheels 321. The lap rail 324 is located between the two groups of transfer driving wheels 321. The lap rail 324 is opposite to the horizontal section of the transfer chain 322. One end of a plurality of transfer carts 323 is hinged to the transfer chain 322, and the other end is lapped on the lap rail 324 or the transfer driving wheel 321. The transfer driving wheel 321 can drive the transfer chain 322 to move and then drive the transfer cart 323 to move. The transfer cart 323 can accommodate and convey dough.
[0032] It is understandable that when the dough falls from the transfer assembly 31 into the transfer trolley 323 , the transfer drive wheel 321 drives the transfer chain 322 to move, thereby driving the transfer trolley 323 to move along a conveying direction perpendicular to the feed conveyor belt 20 .
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The transfer trolley 323 includes a lap rod 323a, a hopper 323b, a lap wheel 323c and a lap wheel shaft 323d. One end of the lap rod 323a is hingedly arranged on the transfer chain 322, and the other end is lapped on the lap rail 324 or the transfer drive wheel 321. One side of the hopper 323b is connected to the lap rod 323a. The lap wheel shaft 323d is rotatably arranged on the hopper 323b and opposite to the lap rod 323a. The lap wheel 323c is arranged on the lap wheel shaft 323d. The position of the lap wheel 323c can be freely adjusted along the length direction of the lap wheel shaft 323d.
[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , the number of transfer carts 323 is an integer multiple of the number of receiving slots 41.
[0035] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present invention, the number of transfer carts 323 is an integer multiple of the number of receiving slots 41. If the number of receiving slots 41 is ten, the number of transfer carts 323 is an integer multiple of ten, such as twenty, thirty, etc.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The discharge assembly 33 includes a blanking plate 331 and a plurality of feeding troughs 332. The blanking plate 331 is disposed on the frame 10 and is located below the overlapping slide rail 324. The blanking plate 331 is stepped, and the width of the blanking plate 331 gradually decreases along the dough conveying direction. The overlapping wheel 323c rolls along the upper surface of the blanking plate 331. When the width of the blanking plate 331 decreases, the overlapping wheel 323c falls freely, and at this time, the dough in the hopper 323b falls into the feeding trough 332, and falls into the receiving groove 41 along the feeding trough 332.
[0037] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the feed conveyor belt 20 conveys the dough to the transfer assembly 31, and the transfer assembly 31 puts the dough into the transfer cart 323 one by one. When each group of transfer carts 323 conveys the dough, if the overlapping wheel 323c overlaps the blanking plate 331, the hopper 323b is horizontal and the dough will not fall. As the transfer cart 323 continues to move, the width of the blanking plate 331 is shortened in steps. When the overlapping wheel 323c rolls and drops the blanking plate 331, the hopper 323b flips around the overlapping rod 323a, and the dough in the hopper 323b falls into the corresponding receiving groove 41 along the feeding trough 332.
[0038] In this embodiment, ten transfer carts 323 form a group, and the positions of the overlapping wheels 323c of the transfer carts 323 in the group gradually approach the transfer chain 322 along the conveying direction, so that the overlapping wheels 323c of the ten transfer carts 323 can roll down the drop plate 331 at the same time, and the dough falls into the corresponding receiving groove 41 at the same time. At this time, the loading plate 40 is filled with dough and transported to the proofing equipment, and the next loading plate 40 comes to the output end of the discharge mechanism 30 to wait.
[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
