Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical arms, in particular to a novel artificial scooping tofu machine mechanical arm. Background Art

[0002] Brain tofu (brain flower tofu) is a traditional Chinese delicacy and a famous traditional snack. Made from soy protein, it is a highly nutritious food, often sold in the morning and often mixed with tofu pudding or bean curd.

[0003] However, tofu pudding production is complex and requires tedious manual work. This is especially true during the scooping, cutting, and plating process, which can lead to uneven handling, waste, and safety hazards. Traditional manual operations, which rely heavily on the experience of skilled chefs, are labor-intensive, inefficient, and can easily affect the appearance and quality of the finished product. Consequently, mechanical scooping equipment is also available.

[0004] However, the applicant believes that the shortcomings are: 1. Most of the existing mechanical equipment for scooping tofu pudding have complex structures and lack accurate simulation of manual scooping actions, making it difficult to achieve the ideal scooping effect; 2. Traditional robotic arms are often inflexible and difficult to adjust, making it difficult to scoop the tofu pudding in the storage barrel in a targeted manner.

[0005] To this end, we proposed a new type of artificial scooping brain tofu machine robotic arm to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a novel artificial scooping tofu machine mechanical arm to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0014] Preferably, a rubber sealing gasket is provided between the socket and the plug block. The rubber gasket is made of natural rubber, generally synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber is a rubber material manufactured by chemical synthesis and has properties similar to natural rubber. Synthetic rubber can be formulated according to different needs to obtain specific physical and chemical properties, and has the characteristics of sealing, anti-slip, wear resistance and elasticity. The sealing characteristics of rubber are utilized to prevent liquid from flowing into the connecting block and causing damage to the first motor.

[0015] Preferably, a second slot is provided on the inner side wall of the mounting seat, and the second clamping ring is embedded in the second slot and rotatably connected to the second slot, thereby realizing the function of limiting the electric push rod and keeping the electric push rod rotating at the bottom of the mounting seat.

The first robotic arm and the second robotic arm can swing up and down in a vertical plane. The scoop rotates to scoop up the tofu pudding, which can achieve the purpose of accurately simulating the manual action of scooping tofu pudding, and is conducive to efficient and uniform scooping of the tofu pudding.

[0018] By directly connecting the second motor inside the base with the bottom of the column and the third motor installed on the top of the mounting seat with the top of the second clamping ring, the two are used in conjunction to achieve the purpose of flexible movement of the device. The scoop can not only scoop tofu pudding in different directions in the bucket, but also after scooping it out, the tofu pudding in the scoop can be poured into the target container by rotating the column, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of the device.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] This embodiment proposes a new type of artificial scooping tofu machine robot arm.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a new type of artificial scooping tofu machine robot arm, including a base 1,

[0029] A column 2 is installed on the top of the base 1, and a first mechanical arm 3 is provided on the top of the column 2.

A second mechanical arm 4 is provided on the other end of the column 2, and one end of the second mechanical arm 4 is connected to one end of the first mechanical arm 3 through a movable joint. The other end of the second mechanical arm 4 is fixedly installed with a mounting seat 5, and an electric push rod 6 is installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 5. The bottom output end of the electric push rod 6 is welded with a connecting block 7, and a scoop 8 is installed on one side of the connecting block 7. A first motor 9 is installed inside the connecting block 7, and one side of the scoop 8 is fixed. A plug-in block 12 is fixedly installed, and the output end of the first motor 9 is directly connected to one end of the plug-in block 12. A socket 10 is provided on one side of the connecting block 7, and a first snap ring 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the socket 10. A first slot 13 is provided on the outer wall of the plug-in block 12. The plug-in block 12 is inserted into the socket 10, and the first snap ring 11 is embedded in the first slot 13 and rotatably connected to the first slot 13. The connection between the top of the connecting block 7 and the electric push rod 6 is set to a smooth inclined surface, and the scoop 8 is set to a hemispherical shape. The scoop 8 is made of stainless steel and has a smooth surface. A rubber sealing gasket is provided between the socket 10 and the plug-in block 12.

[0030] The first robotic arm 3 and the second robotic arm 4 used in this application are products that can be directly purchased on the market. The models of the first motor 9, the second motor 14 and the third motor 15 are all SGM7 of the servo series, which usually achieve precise forward and reverse control through dedicated encoders and servo drivers. Their principles and connection methods are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be repeated here.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the first robotic arm 3 is first used to cooperate with the second robotic arm 4 to move the electric push rod 6 to the top of the container for storing the tofu pudding, and then the electric push rod 6 is started. The output end of the electric push rod 6 can drive the connecting block 7 and the scoop 8 to move downward. When the flat side of the scoop 8 is flush with the top surface of the tofu pudding, the electric push rod 6 is turned off and the first motor 9 is started. The first motor 9 can drive the scoop 8 to rotate one hundred and eighty degrees, thereby scooping the tofu pudding into the scoop 8. At the same time, the first retaining ring 11 will also rotate inside the first slot 13. Then, the electric push rod 6 is started to retract the connecting block 7 and the scoop 8 upward.

[0032] Example 2

[0034] In the above embodiment, when it is necessary to scoop tofu pudding at different positions in the container, the third motor 15 can be started. The third motor 15 can drive the second clamping ring 17 to rotate in the second clamping groove 16, thereby driving the electric push rod 6 to rotate, so that the scoop 8 changes direction and then the scoop 8 is placed in the container for scooping. When the scoop 8 has finished scooping, the scoop 8 is retracted upward by the electric push rod 6, and the second motor 14 is started to drive the column 2 to rotate. The column 2 drives the scoop 8 to rotate above the target container. The first motor 9 is started again to pour the tofu pudding in the scoop 8 into the target container.
