[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biscuit production, in particular to an automatic selection device for damaged biscuits in biscuit production. Background Technique

[0002] Biscuits are a type of sheet-shaped Western-style pastry made mainly from flour through shaping and baking. They are one of the most common pastries at present. They are convenient to eat and carry, and have become an indispensable food in daily life.

[0003] Biscuits are fragile items. Inevitably, there are problems such as broken or incomplete biscuits during the production process. Therefore, before packaging, it is necessary to manually sort out the broken or incomplete biscuits to avoid being packaged and affecting the reputation of the product and ensuring the quality of the product. However, it is difficult for workers to avoid omissions during long-term sorting.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the inventor proposes an automatic selection device for damaged biscuits in biscuit production to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the problem that it is easy to miss when manually sorting damaged biscuits; the purpose of the utility model is to provide an automatic selection device for damaged biscuits in biscuit production.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an automatic selection device for damaged biscuits in biscuit production, including a frame. The two frames are arranged in an inverted L shape, and a horizontally arranged through groove is formed between the adjacent ends. Symmetrically distributed fixed rods are rotatably arranged between the two frames. Rollers are fixedly arranged on the fixed rods. A first bevel gear is fixedly arranged on one of the rollers. A conveyor belt is rotatably arranged by the two rollers. A plurality of equally spaced baffles are fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the conveyor belt. The top of the baffle can be translated in the through groove along with the conveyor belt. The upper surfaces of the two frames are fixedly provided with a feed hopper together. The feed hopper is arc-shaped. A feed port is formed through the feed hopper. The discharge port of the feed hopper is located directly above the through groove and is perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting plate is arranged on one side of the feed hopper. The limiting plate is arc-shaped and is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the frame. A motor is arranged at one end between the two frames close to the first bevel gear. A second bevel gear is fixedly arranged at the end of the output shaft of the motor. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. A belt is rotatably arranged by the two rollers.

[0008] Preferably, symmetrically distributed brackets are fixedly arranged on the upper surfaces of the two racks, and a vision sensor is fixedly arranged between the two brackets. A fixing block is fixedly arranged at one end of the rack away from the motor, and an inclined plate is fixedly arranged between the two fixing blocks. Legs are symmetrically distributed at one end of the inclined plate away from the rack, and a rotating rod is rotatably arranged between the two legs. A positioning plate is fixedly arranged on the rotating rod, and a cylinder is arranged on one side of the positioning plate.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. During use, the staff puts the biscuits into the feed hopper. The baffle moves in the through groove as the conveyor belt rotates. When the baffle passes through the discharge port below the feed hopper, it will push the lowermost biscuit towards the direction of the vision sensor. When the biscuit passes below the vision sensor, the vision sensor will detect the biscuit. If the biscuit is not damaged, the vision sensor will transmit a signal to the cylinder to push it upwards. The positioning plate will tilt as the cylinder pushes, causing the undamaged biscuit to move and fall towards the end away from the cylinder for discharging. When the damaged biscuit passes through the vision sensor, the cylinder will retract, causing the positioning plate to tilt towards the direction of the cylinder, so that the biscuit moves towards the end of the cylinder. Through the above method, automatic selection of damaged biscuits can be realized while reducing the omission problem caused by manual selection.

[0012] 2. When the conveyor belt rotates above the recycling box, the biscuit crumbs on the surface of the conveyor belt will fall into the recycling box, which is convenient for the staff to handle uniformly later. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] Embodiment: As Figures 1-4 shown, the present utility model provides an automatic selection device for damaged biscuits in biscuit production, including a frame 1. Two frames 1 are arranged in an inverted L shape, and a horizontally arranged through groove 21 is formed between the adjacent ends. Symmetrically distributed fixed rods 11 are rotatably arranged between the two frames 1. Rollers 12 are fixedly arranged on the fixed rods 11. A first bevel gear 17 is fixedly arranged on one side roller 12. A conveyor belt 13 is rotatably arranged between the two rollers 12. A plurality of equally spaced baffles 14 are fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 13. The top ends of the baffles 14 can be translated in the through groove 21 along with the conveyor belt 13. The upper surfaces of the two frames 1 are jointly fixedly provided with a feeding hopper 15. The feeding hopper 15 is arc-shaped. A feeding port 16 is formed through the feeding hopper 15. The discharging port of the feeding hopper 15 is located directly above the through groove 21 and is vertically arranged with the surface of the conveyor belt 13.

[0021] A limiting plate 19 is arranged on one side of the feeding hopper 15. The limiting plate 19 is arc-shaped and is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the frame 1.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the biscuits can be restricted by the limiting plate 19 to prevent the biscuits from falling out of the feeding hopper 15.

[0023] One end of the two frames 1 close to the first bevel gear 17 is provided with a motor 2. The end of the output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly provided with a second bevel gear 18. The second bevel gear 18 meshes with the first bevel gear 17.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 2 can provide power for the second bevel gear 18. Since the second bevel gear 18 meshes with the first bevel gear 17, when the second bevel gear 18 rotates, it will drive the first bevel gear 17 to rotate.

[0025] Two rollers 12 are jointly rotated with a belt 7 provided.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the two rollers 12 can be rotated synchronously through the belt 7.

[0027] On the upper surfaces of two frames 1, symmetrically distributed brackets 3 are fixedly arranged, and a vision sensor 31 is fixedly arranged between the two brackets 3.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the vision sensor 31 can be used to detect whether the cookies passing below are damaged.

[0029] At one end of the frame 1 far from the motor 2, a fixed block 4 is fixedly arranged, and an inclined plate 41 is fixedly arranged between the two fixed blocks 4.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the detected cookies can be moved to the positioning plate 52 through the inclined plate 41.

[0031] At one end of the inclined plate 41 far from the frame 1, symmetrically distributed legs 5 are arranged. A rotating rod 51 is jointly rotated between the two legs 5. A positioning plate 52 is fixedly arranged on the rotating rod 51. On one side of the positioning plate 52, a cylinder 53 is arranged, and the end of the output shaft of the cylinder 53 is hinged to the lower surface of the positioning plate 52.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning plate 52 can be tilted by the expansion and contraction of the cylinder 53.

[0033] Below one end of the conveyor belt 13 far from the motor 2, a recycling bin 6 is arranged.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the cookie crumbs on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 13 can be collected through the recycling bin 6, which is convenient for the staff to clean up uniformly later.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the staff puts the biscuits into the feeding hopper 15. The baffle 14 moves in the through groove 21 as the conveyor belt 13 rotates. When the baffle 14 passes through the discharge port below the feeding hopper 15, it will push the lowermost biscuit towards the direction of the vision sensor 31. When the biscuit passes below the vision sensor 31, the vision sensor 31 will detect the biscuit. If the biscuit is not damaged, the vision sensor 31 will transmit a signal to the cylinder 53 to push it upward. The positioning plate 52 tilts as the cylinder 53 is pushed, causing the undamaged biscuit to move and fall towards the end away from the cylinder 53 for discharging. When the damaged biscuit passes through the vision sensor 31, the cylinder 53 will retract, causing the positioning plate 52 to tilt towards the cylinder 53, so that the biscuit moves towards the end of the cylinder 53. Through the above method, automatic selection and separation of damaged biscuits can be achieved; when the conveyor belt 13 rotates above the recycling bin 6, the biscuit crumbs on the surface of the conveyor belt 13 will fall into the recycling bin 6, facilitating subsequent unified handling by the staff.

[0036] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present utility model fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and their equivalent technologies, the present utility model is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
