Detailed implementation manners

[0023] In order to make the technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model provides a technical solution: Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 6 , a tray stacking device of a gummy candy forming machine disclosed by the present utility model includes a base 1 installed at the discharging end of the conveyor of the gummy candy forming machine. A stacking mechanism 2 is provided on the base 1, and two limiting mechanisms 3 are oppositely provided inside the base 1;

[0025] The stacking mechanism 2 includes an electric telescopic rod 21. The electric telescopic rod 21 is fixedly installed at the center position of the inner bottom wall of the base 1. Two fixing rods 22 are relatively fixedly installed at the top end of the base 1. A plurality of installation grooves 23 are opened on the opposite sides of the fixing rods 22, and the distance between adjacent two installation grooves 23 is equal. A limiting block 24 is rotatably installed in the installation groove 23.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the tray stacking device of the improved gummy candy forming machine is used, due to the restraint and limitation of the tray by the limiting mechanism 3, the gummy candy forming machine conveyor pushes the tray to a suitable position above the electric telescopic rod 21. Subsequently, the electric telescopic rod 21 is started to lift the tray upward. Due to the mutual contact between the tray and the limiting block 24, the limiting block 24 rotates so that the limiting block 24 will not continue to affect the upward movement of the tray. After the tray passes over the limiting block 24, the electric telescopic rod 21 contracts and resets. At this time, the tray automatically moves downward due to its own gravity until the tray contacts the limiting block 24. According to the above-mentioned lifting of a plurality of trays by the electric telescopic rod 21 in sequence, the stacking of a plurality of trays is completed, which facilitates the operator to move the tray to the subsequent processing position.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, a push plate 26 is fixedly installed at the top end of the electric telescopic rod 21, and the push plate 26 is in clearance fit with the two fixed plates 33;

[0028] In this embodiment, the setting of the push plate 26 can increase the pushing area of the positioning rod 25, so that the lifting of the material tray by the above-mentioned electric telescopic rod 21 is more stable. Moreover, when the gummy candy forming machine transporter pushes the material tray above the electric telescopic rod 21, the push plate 26 can form a support slideway to prevent the material tray from tipping over when the gummy candy forming machine transporter pushes the material tray onto the electric telescopic rod 21.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a plurality of positioning rods 25 are fixedly installed on the top side of the fixed plate 33, and the distances between adjacent two positioning rods 25 are equal. The opposite sides of the corresponding two positioning rods 25 are coplanar with the opposite sides of the two fixed rods 22 respectively;

[0030] In this embodiment, when the above-mentioned electric telescopic rod 21 lifts the material tray, due to the restraint and limitation of the positioning rod 25 on the material tray, the lifted material tray moves along a linear track, resulting in a position deviation of the stacked material trays, which affects the stacking stability of the material trays.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a first magnetic plate 27 is fixedly installed inside the limit block 24, and the bottom side of the first magnetic plate 27 is coplanar with the bottom side of the corresponding limit block 24. A second magnetic plate 28 is fixedly installed at the position corresponding to the installation groove 23 inside the fixed rod 22, and the top side of the second magnetic plate 28 is coplanar with the inner bottom side of the corresponding installation groove 23;

[0032] In this embodiment, after the above-mentioned material tray passes over the limit block 24 and separates from the limit block 24, due to the attraction between the first magnetic plate 27 and the second magnetic plate 28, the limit block 24 automatically rotates reversely until the limit block 24 abuts against the inner wall of the installation groove 23. The limit block 24 is pulled to rotate reversely and reset by the attraction between the first magnetic plate 27 and the second magnetic plate 28, and the device will not be damaged due to the repeated reciprocating rotation of the limit block 24, reducing the service life of the device.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes two connecting blocks 31. The two connecting blocks 31 are relatively fixedly installed at the right ends of the opposite sides of the two fixing rods 22. A limiting rod 32 is rotatably installed in the connecting block 31, and the top end of the limiting rod 32 is coplanar with the top side of the positioning rod 25. A fixing plate 33 is provided on the right side of the connecting block 31, and the fixing plate 33 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixing rod 22. A positioning plate 34 is provided on the top side of the fixing plate 33. The positioning plate 34 is rotatably penetrated through the fixing plate 33 by a threaded rod, and the top end of the threaded rod 35 is rotatably connected to the corresponding positioning plate 34. The positioning plate 34 is in contact with the opposite side of the corresponding fixing rod 22;

[0034] In this embodiment, when performing the operation of stacking the trays, the operator rotates the limiting rod 32 until the limiting rod 32 is in a vertical state. Then the operator turns the threaded rod 35 to push the positioning plate 34 upward until the positioning plate 34 contacts the side wall of the limiting rod 32. At this time, the limiting rod 32 and the positioning plate 34 are in mutual contact and resistance, and the limiting rod 32 stably maintains a vertical state. Thus, when the tray is pushed above the base 1, due to the mutual contact and resistance between the limiting rod 32 and the tray, the tray always moves to a specific position above the base 1;

[0035] The operator reversely turns the threaded rod 35 to pull the positioning plate 34 downward until the positioning plate 34 contacts the fixing plate 33. At this time, the operator can reversely rotate the limiting rod 32 until the limiting rod 32 contacts the positioning plate 34, and the limiting plate stably maintains a straight state to form a slideway.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 6 shown, two square rods 36 are relatively provided on the outer peripheral side of the threaded rod 35, and each square rod 36 slidably penetrates through the corresponding fixing plate 33. The top end of the square rod 36 is fixedly connected to the corresponding positioning plate 34;

[0037] In this embodiment, when the positioning plate 34 moves, due to the mutual contact and resistance between the square rod 36 and the fixing plate 33, the positioning plate 34 moves in a linear trajectory, and the mutual contact and resistance between the square rod 36 and the fixing plate 33 can also keep the position between the fixing plate 33 and the positioning plate 34 relatively stable.

[0038] Working principle: When the tray stacking device of the improved gummy candy forming machine is in use, first the operator rotates the limiting rod 32 until the limiting rod 32 is in a vertical state. Then the operator turns the threaded rod 35 to push the positioning plate 34 upward until the positioning plate 34 contacts the side wall of the limiting rod 32. At this time, due to the mutual contact and resistance between the square rod 36 and the fixing rod 22 and the mutual contact and resistance between the limiting rod 32 and the positioning plate 34, the limiting rod 32 stably maintains a vertical state, and the adjustment of the device is completed;

[0039] It should be noted that during the movement of the positioning plate 34 described above, due to the mutual resistance between the square rod 36 and the fixed plate 33, the positioning plate 34 moves along a linear trajectory;

[0040] The conveyor of the gummy candy forming machine pushes the tray onto the push plate 26 until the tray abuts against the limit rod 32. Then, the electric telescopic rod 21 extends, pushing the tray upward through the tray. At this time, due to the mutual resistance between the tray and the limit block 24, the thrust of the tray on the limit block 24 cancels the attraction between the first magnetic plate 27 and the second magnetic plate 28, and the limit block 24 rotates upward so that the limit block 24 does not affect the movement of the tray, thereby enabling the tray to move above the limit block 24. After the tray separates from the limit block 24, due to the suction force between the first magnetic plate 27 and the second magnetic plate 28, the limit block 24 automatically rotates reversely to reset until the limit block 24 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove 23. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 21 contracts, and the tray automatically moves downward due to its own gravity until the bottom tray abuts against the limit block 24, and the tray stops moving downward. According to the above, the conveyor of the gummy candy forming machine sequentially pushes the trays onto the push plate 26 to complete the stacking operation of the trays;

[0041] It should be noted that during the process of the push plate 26 pushing the tray upward described above, due to the mutual resistance between the tray and the positioning rod 25, the upward moving tray moves along a linear trajectory, so that the stacked trays will not tip over;

[0042] As the trays are stacked, after a suitable number of trays are stacked, the operator reversely rotates the threaded rod 35 and pulls the positioning plate 34 downward until the positioning plate 34 abuts against the fixed plate 33. At this time, the operator can reversely rotate the limit rod 32 until the limit rod 32 abuts against the positioning plate 34, and the limiting plate stably maintains a straight state. At this time, the operator pushes the stacked trays, and the stacked trays slide along the limit block 24 and directly slide onto the two limit rods 32. At this time, due to the support of the limit rods 32 for the stacked trays, the stacked trays are stably placed on the two limit rods 32, and there is no other obstruction under the bottom of the stacked trays except the limit rods 32, so the operator can easily remove the stacked trays from the limit rods 32;

[0043] According to the above, if the user installs a belt conveyor at the discharge end of the base 1, after the operator pushes the stacked trays onto the limit rods 32, the operator can continue to push the stacked trays, and the stacked trays can be pushed onto the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor by sliding on the limit rods 32, and the belt conveyor continues to convey the stacked trays;

[0044] After the stacked trays are taken out, the operator re-performs the subsequent stacking process of the trays according to the above, and can continuously divide several trays into several groups and stack each group of trays together.

[0045] The basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model have been shown and described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, various changes and improvements will occur to the present utility model, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection required by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
