Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a food processing logistics system based on steam conduction. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the food processing industry, automation and intelligence are becoming increasingly important in the food processing process. Traditional food processing systems mainly rely on manual operations, especially in the movement, loading, capping and steaming of food containers. Manual operations are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also pose food safety risks, such as cross-contamination of containers, uneven heating due to steam loss, and low production efficiency. This reliance on manual labor makes it impossible to increase processing efficiency on a large scale, resulting in high production costs and high skill requirements for operators. As a result, the overall automation level of the food processing industry still needs to be improved.

[0003] Prior art discloses an intelligent steaming machine, a household appliance that addresses the technical issues inherent in existing steamers, which are unable to achieve intelligent steaming. However, these existing intelligent steaming machines are designed for home use and are relatively small, capable of steaming only small amounts of food at a time. These small steaming machines are clearly impractical for large-scale commercial production. Consequently, these systems still suffer from issues such as inadequate design or lack of specific design for large-scale steaming processes. Utility Model Content

The lids do not need to be removed during this process.

[0011] As a further feature of the present invention, the transfer area module 2 includes a tray for storing food containers and utilizes a rotatable circular structure 21.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", and "set" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on the overall structure of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in FIG, as a food processing logistics system based on steam conduction, it mainly includes: raw material area module 1, transfer area module 2, cooking area module 3 and cooked material area module 4.

[0031] The tops of the raw material area module 1, the transfer area module 2, the steaming area module 3 and the clinker area module 4 are all provided with a plurality of positioned food container placement plates 5. Different types of food can be placed in different positioning positions, ensuring that the food can be conveniently stored and retrieved by the system for the next step of the steaming process, while ensuring the efficiency of the processing logistics process of the steam-conducted food. A plurality of retractable mechanical gripper structures 6 are also provided above the raw material area module 1, the steaming area module 3 and the clinker area module 4. According to the order requirements, the mechanical gripper structures 6 are used to grab different numbers of stacked food containers and lids. The system can realize the synchronous linkage of multiple module mechanical systems to carry out the processing logistics of various types of steam-conducted foods.

[0032] The clinker zone module 4 is located beside the raw zone module 1. In this embodiment, they are integrated into a single rectangular operating table. However, they can be separated as needed, or the clinker zone module 4 can be located to one side of the transfer zone module 2. The cooking zone module 3 can be located to the other side of the raw zone module 1. The transfer zone module 2 is located between the cooking zone module 3, the raw zone module 1, and the clinker zone module 4. The transfer zone module 2 is provided with at least one motor-driven rotatable circular structure 21, which is provided with food container trays 5 spaced apart along an outer circle. At least one retractable mechanical gripper structure 6 is provided above each of the raw zone module 1, the cooking zone module 3, and the clinker zone module 4, allowing the gripper structure 6 to move to the food container tray 5 of an adjacent module to grasp, place, and transfer food containers. Based on the above content, it can be understood that the positional relationship of each module is not limited to the solution of this embodiment. As long as the food container can be transferred from the raw material area module 1, the transfer area module 2, the cooking area module 3, the transfer area module 2 and then to the cooked material area module 4 in sequence through the mechanical gripper structure 6 of each module, those skilled in the art can adjust the positional relationship of each module according to actual needs.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the transfer area module 2 may be equipped with universal casters to facilitate adjustment of the transfer area module 2's position according to production needs. The top of the transfer area module 2 may also be equipped with guide rails and a locking unit, allowing each rotatable circular structure 21 to move along the guide rails (in this embodiment, in the y-direction). When the positional relationship between the modules changes, the direction of the guide rails is adjusted accordingly. This allows the positions of the rotatable circular structures 21 to be automatically adjusted based on the quantity, type, and process of different food orders. For example, when the mechanical gripper structure 6 grabs a food container from the raw food zone module 1 to the steaming zone module 3, the rotatable circular structure 21 moves between the two modules. After the food is cooked, at least one of the rotatable circular structures 21 moves closer to the clinker zone module 4, facilitating the mechanical gripper structure 6 to grab the clinker zone module 4. The locking unit has both tightening and loosening functions. Once loosened, the structure can be removed from the guide rails automatically or manually, as needed, rather than being fixed to the rails and unable to be removed. In addition, the bottom of each transfer area module 2 can be equipped with a plurality of universal wheels, so that the transfer area module 2 can be moved and rotated. The universal wheels can further be electric universal wheels to automatically adjust the position of the transfer area module 2 according to system or process requirements.

[0034] Furthermore, the mechanical gripper structure 6 is attached to a solid frame structure 7 for supporting its various components, and the frame structure 7 can span different modules. The frame structure 7 is provided with a plurality of horizontal and vertical guide rails 71, and the guide rails 71 can also be configured to span different modules from above. In this way, the mechanical gripper structure 6 can move horizontally in the X and Y directions on the guide rails 71. The telescopic mechanism 61 of the mechanical gripper structure 6 can control the movement of the gripper in the vertical Z direction. By controlling the rotation of the electric motor 64 of the mechanical gripper structure 6, the opening and closing movement of the gripper can be achieved. Such a mechanism includes but is not limited to pneumatic, hydraulic or electric, and utilizes a cylinder, servo motor or other similar device to achieve movement. The mechanical gripper structure 6 includes a gripper for grasping and fixing food containers, and can have a multi-level telescopic structure to achieve control of the extension length of the gripper in response to different food container heights.

[0035] Specifically, the gripping module 62 can be designed for bilateral gripping, and includes but is not limited to two forms: a single-container gripping module 621 or a multi-container gripping module 622. The single-container gripping module 621 has a short-arm gripper that can grip a single food container or lid. Since food containers for steaming and cooking are stackable, the multi-container gripping module 622 has a long-arm gripper that can grip multiple stacked food containers at once. The single-container gripping module 621 and the multi-container gripping module 622 can also be mixed and used in each module for a combined arrangement. As an improvement, the short-arm gripper and the long-arm gripper can have a flexure structure design at the bottom to increase gripping stability.

[0036] In this embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the mechanical gripper structure for the raw material zone module, which can use a pair of mechanical gripper structures 6 with a single container clamping module 621; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the mechanical gripper structure of the steaming zone module. Each mechanical gripper structure 6 can be equipped with a single-container gripping module 621 or a multi-container gripping module 622, depending on the needs, to accommodate different steaming or conducting steps. The mechanical gripper structure 6 can also be equipped with a wind cooling module 63 and anti-slip tape at the contact point between the gripper and the food container. The wind cooling module 63 is installed to the side of the telescopic mechanism 61 and the mechanical gripper to dissipate steam during steaming, preventing overheating of the mechanical gripper and other components. The anti-slip tape improves gripping stability. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the mechanical gripper structure for the clinker zone module. The above configuration scheme is only a specific scheme for this embodiment, but is not limited to this. Furthermore, the double-sided clamping design of the clamping module 62 adopts a thick-side widening design to increase stability when grasping multiple food containers. The gripper of the clamping module 62 is further provided with a displacement sensor or a laser ranging sensor, so that the gripper can monitor its movement and position to ensure accurate operation of the items. The mechanical gripper structure 6 is equipped with safety mechanisms such as an overload protector and a collision sensor for detecting collisions to prevent accidents.

[0037] Furthermore, the food container placement trays 5 on top of the raw material area module 1, the cooking area module 3 and the cooked material area module 4 are arranged in an array, and each food container placement tray 5 includes independently positioned food container positioning positions, for example, they are positioned as A1, B2, C3... etc., so that the mechanical gripper structure 6 can identify and locate them in each module according to order information and cooking process, and any position on the food container placement tray 5 can be used as a temporary storage area for lids to place independently positioned food containers or food container lids. The food container positioning position of the raw material area module 1 is used to support manual feeding operations, and the raw food placed in the food container is placed in the raw material area positioning position of the food container according to different food types, and then the telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 grabs the food container on the raw material area module and puts it into the raw material transfer area of ​​the transfer area module 2, and then the telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 for grabbing the lid puts the lid of the lid temporary storage area on the top of the food container at the top of the raw material transfer area, and then the whole set of food containers together with the lids will be transferred to the steaming area module 3 to complete the steaming process and the discharging area to complete the discharging process. There is no need to remove the lid during this process.

[0038] Furthermore, the transfer area module 2 includes a tray for storing food containers and can be further divided into a raw material transfer area and a clinker transfer area. Each area can have at least one rotatable circular structure 21. The raw material area module 1, the cooking area module 3, and the clinker area module 4 are each provided with a drop position in the area adjacent to the rotatable circular structure 21. The positioning position, the cooking plate placement position, and the drop position can all be preset coordinate positions. When the mechanical gripper structure 6 performs the grasping step, it moves to the corresponding drop position or positioning position. The food type can be rotated to the upper drop position of the raw material area module 1, the cooking area module 3, and the clinker area module 4 according to the actual order and system processing conditions, allowing the corresponding telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 to move to the rotatable circular structure 21 next to the drop position for the next grasping action.

[0039] The steaming zone module 3 also includes a cooking plate placement area designed to accommodate multiple food container trays 5. A steam generating unit is located beneath each food container tray 5. Steam is conducted beneath each food container tray to steam the food. A retractable mechanical gripper 6, which grasps the food containers, transfers the stacked food containers between the transfer zone module 2 and the steaming zone module 3. An opening and closing mechanism is located beneath the food container trays 5 of the steaming zone module 3. A spring-loaded support column is located in the center of the food container tray 5, connected to a valve in the opening and closing mechanism below. When a food container is placed above the food container tray 5 of the steaming zone module 3, the bottom of the food container contacts the spring-loaded support column. The weight of the food container is transferred to the spring-loaded support column, causing it to descend. The connecting column opens the valve in the opening and closing mechanism, allowing steam to flow into the food container and steam the food. Conversely, when there is no weight on the spring-loaded support column, the valve in the opening and closing mechanism closes, preventing steam from escaping from the steam generating unit below.

[0040] Specifically, the food container positioning position of the clinker area module 4 allows the mechanical gripper structure 6 to move the food container with steamed food from the transfer area module 2 to the clinker area module 4 to support manual material retrieval operations and take away the food container with steamed food.

[0041] The processing and logistics system also includes a control cabinet 9, a UPS 11, a printer 12, a safety light curtain 10, and a human-machine interface 8. The control cabinet 9 electrically connects and controls the operation of the raw material module 1, the transfer module 2, the steaming module 3, the clinker module 4, the UPS 11, the printer 12, the safety light curtain 10, and the human-machine interface 8. The safety light curtain 10, mounted on the frame structure 7, detects whether foreign objects or personnel intrude into the working areas of each module, protecting the operator and preventing accidents caused by improper operation or machine malfunction during production. The human-machine interface 8 features a touch screen for operators to control equipment operation, set parameters, and place orders based on customer needs. The human-machine interface 8 may also be equipped with buttons 81 for equipment control and emergency stop functions. The printer 12 can be used to print customers' real-time orders, allowing operators to replenish or remove steamed food based on order details.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is: the operator places the corresponding type of food on the different food container display trays 5 of the raw material area module 1, and the telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 grabs the food container on the raw material area module 1 to the food container display tray 5 in the transfer area module 2. The mechanical gripper structure 6 realizes the movement in the X and Y directions through the guide rail 71, and the telescopic mechanism 61 realizes the movement of the gripper in the z direction. The position of the mechanical gripper structure 6 and the food container is adjusted by the guide rail 71 and the telescopic mechanism 61. When the food container needs to be grabbed, the electric motor 64 drives the gripper to separate, and then the gripper clamps the food container. After that, the electric motor 64 drives the gripper to close to fix the grabbed food container. The single container clamping module 621 is used to clamp a single food container, and the multi-container clamping module 622 is used to clamp multiple food containers. Both the single container clamping module 621 and the multi-container clamping module 622 can realize X, Y, For movement in the Z direction, both grippers can adopt a double-sided clamping design and a thick-edge widened design to increase stability when grabbing food containers, ensuring accurate operation of items. The motor rotates the circular food container placement plate 5 on the top of the transfer area module 2, and then the circular structure 21 can be rotated to rotate the food container in the transfer area module 2 to the loading and unloading position of the steaming area module 3. The corresponding telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 performs a grabbing action, grabs the food container in the transfer area module 2 and places it in the steaming plate placement position on the steaming area module 3. Steam conduction will be carried out under the food container placement plate 5 to steam the food. Thereafter, the telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 grabs the steamed food container to the food container placement plate 5 in the transfer area module 2, and the telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 places the food container with steamed food from the transfer area module 2 to the clinker area module 4. Then the operator takes away the food container with steamed food. The wind cooling module 63 includes a fan. When the steaming zone module 3 is steaming food, the fan is started, and then the fan blows away the steam to prevent the gripper of the food container from overheating and play a protective role.

[0043] In summary, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: 1. The telescopic mechanical gripper structure 6 for grabbing the lid puts the lid on the top of the uppermost food container, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the food.

[0044] 2. The food processing logistics system has high adaptability between different processing links and provides a high level of automation for the entire process from raw materials to finished products.

[0045] 3. The gripping module of the mechanical gripper structure can be set as a single container gripping module or a multi-container gripping module according to needs, so as to facilitate gripping a single or multiple stacked food containers according to the requirements of different process flows.

[0046] 4. The overall structural design is more reasonable, effectively utilizing limited space to conduct steam to solve the problem of food processing logistics, thereby achieving the effect of improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0047] 5. The frame structure, guide rails, telescopic mechanism, food container positioning position and positioning sensor are set up, so that the mechanical gripper structure can perform precise operations in a specified area or across modules, thereby improving accuracy.

[0048] 6. Safety mechanisms such as collision detection units and safety light curtains are set up to effectively prevent the occurrence of safety accidents and ensure the safety of personnel.

[0049] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
