DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, an ice cream crisp cone feeding device includes a base 4, a conveyor belt 5 is arranged on the base 4, and limiting grooves 6 are evenly arranged on the conveyor belt 5. A support arm 7 is arranged on one side of the base 4, and a shell 8 is arranged on one side of the upper end of the support arm 7. The upper and lower ends of the shell 8 are open, and a partition is arranged in the middle of the shell 8. A motor 9 is arranged on the upper end of the partition, and an electric push rod 10 is arranged on the lower end of the partition. A swing arm 11 is arranged at the output end of the motor 9, and a sleeve 12 is arranged at one end of the swing arm 11. It also includes a fixing ring 13 arranged below the sleeve 12 The sleeve 12 is connected to the fixed ring 13 through a curved plate 14, and rotatable clamping plates 15 are evenly arranged on the inner side of the fixed ring 13. The clamping plates 15 are connected to the outer side of the fixed ring 13 through an elastic member 16. A star-shaped connecting rope 17 for connecting all the clamping plates 15 is also included. A channel is provided inside the swing arm 11, and a pull rope 18 is provided inside the channel. One end of the pull rope 18 passes through the fixed ring 13 and is fixedly connected to the center point of the star-shaped connecting rope 17, and the other end of the pull rope 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 10.

[0018] The limiting groove 6 is semicircular in shape and is made of silicone. When the limiting groove 6 moves to the end of the conveyor belt 5, the limiting groove 6 will be deformed, but when the limiting groove 6 passes, the limiting groove 6 will return to its original state. The limiting groove 6 is used to place the crisp tube 3. The limiting groove 6 plays the role of quickly placing the crisp tube 3 without affecting the transfer of the crisp tube 3 by the splint 15.

[0019] When the crisp tube 3 is not clamped, the output end of the electric push rod 10 is in an extended state. After the output end of the electric push rod 10 is extended, it drives one end of the pull rope 18 to move downward, and the other end of the pull rope 18 moves upward, and at the same time drives the star-shaped connecting rope 17 to move upward. After the star-shaped connecting rope 17 moves upward, all the clamps 15 are flipped toward the inner direction of the fixed ring 13 until the horizontal plane where the lowest point of the clamp 15 is located is above the horizontal plane where the highest point of the crisp tube 3 on the conveyor belt 5 is, and at the same time, the elastic member 16 will not contact the crisp tube 3 on the conveyor belt 5. When the crisp tube 3 is clamped, the output end of the electric push rod 10 is controlled to retract. At this time, the pull rope 18 changes from a tensioned state to a relaxed state, but under the action of the elastic member 16, the clamp 15 is flipped outward again from the inside of the fixed ring 13. During the flipping process, the clamp 15 can enter the inside of the crisp tube 3 and contact the side wall of the crisp tube 3, thereby completing the clamping of the crisp tube 3.

[0020] When the fixed ring 13 is located directly above the bracket 2, this position is the unloading position of the crisp tube 3. After the clamping plate 15 is flipped toward the inner side of the fixed ring 13, the crisp tube 3 falls directly into the bracket 2. When the fixed ring 13 moves to a position directly above the conveyor belt 5, any limiting groove 6 on the conveyor belt 5 can be moved to directly below the fixed ring 13, and the distance between the crisp tube 3 in the limiting groove 6 and the bracket 2 is the shortest. This position is the clamping position of the crisp tube 3. The clamping of the crisp tube 3 on the conveyor belt 5 can be achieved by flipping the clamping plate 15 toward the outside of the fixed ring 13.

[0021] By controlling the rotation of the output end of the motor 9, the movement of the swing arm 11 can be controlled, so that the fixing ring 13 can be moved back and forth between the unloading position and the clamping position.

[0022] When the crisp cone 3 containing ice cream on the bracket 2 is taken out by the staff, the crisp cone 3 on the conveyor belt 5 closest to the bracket 2 is clamped by the clamping plate 15, and then the swing arm 11 is controlled to rotate by the motor 9. When the clamped crisp cone 3 is transferred to the top of the bracket 2, the clamping plate 15 releases the clamping of the crisp cone 3. Under the action of gravity, the crisp cone 3 falls directly into the bracket 2, and then the motor 9 controls the swing arm 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the fixed ring 13 to reset, so as to avoid blocking the crisp cone 3 on the bracket 2 and affecting the ice cream machine to squeeze the raw materials into the crisp cone 3. After the infrared sensor provided on the existing ice cream machine detects the presence of the crisp cone, it controls the ice cream machine 1 to discharge the material and squeeze the ice cream into the crisp cone 3. After the ice cream machine 1 completes the discharge, it waits for the staff to take away the 2 ice creams on the bracket.

[0023] As the crisp tubes 3 on the conveyor belt 5 are consumed, the staff can choose the right time to replenish the crisp tubes 3 on the conveyor belt 5 in time to ensure that there are crisp tubes 3 on the conveyor belt 5 that can be transferred to the bracket 2.

[0024] Furthermore, a silicone layer 19 is provided at the lower end of the splint 15 , which can prevent the splint 15 from breaking the crisp tube 3 and increase the friction between the splint 15 and the crisp tube 3 through compression of the silicone layer 19 , thereby improving the stability when transferring the crisp tube 3 .

[0025] Furthermore, grooves are evenly formed on the outer surface of the silicone layer 19 to further increase the friction between the silicone layer 19 and the crisp tube 3 and improve the stability when transferring the crisp tube 3 .

[0026] Furthermore, when the output end of the electric push rod 10 is extended, the clamping plate 15 can be moved between the lower end surface of the fixing ring 13 and the lower end surface of the sleeve 12 to prevent the clamping plate 15 from contacting the crisp tube 3 on the conveyor belt 5 .

[0027] Furthermore, a side plate 20 is provided at the output end of the electric push rod 10 , and one end of the pull rope 18 is fixedly connected to the side plate 20 to reduce friction between the pull rope 18 and the housing 8 .

[0028] When the device is in use, the crisp cone 3 on the conveyor belt 5 can be placed in the bracket 2 by flipping the clamping plate 15 and rotating the swing arm 11. When the staff is packing the ice cream, the ready-to-eat ice cream can also be continued to be produced, thereby ensuring the supply speed of ice cream during peak hours, reducing the waiting time of customers, and having a good use effect.
