DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rice cake mold clamping and horizontal conveying device includes a frame 1 and a rotating drive device 2, and rotating components 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the frame 1. The two groups of rotating components 3 are connected by a connecting device 4 for synchronous rotation of the two groups of rotating components 3, wherein one group of rotating components 3 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the rotating drive device 2, and a lifting clamping component is provided on the connecting device 4, and the lifting clamping component is slidably connected to the frame 1 through at least one group of sliding components 8.

[0026] The rotary drive device 2 can drive one set of rotating components 3 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting device 4 to transmit under the action of the other set of rotating components 3. The connecting device 4 is equipped with a lifting and clamping component, which is used to clamp the mold. Therefore, when the lifting and clamping component clamps the mold, the mold will change its position as the connecting device 4 is transmitted, thereby moving the mold from one conveyor to another.

[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the lifting and clamping assembly includes a mounting plate 5 fixed to the top of the connecting device 4, a first cylinder 6 is fixed on the mounting plate 5, a positioning plate 7 is fixed to the output shaft at the bottom of the first cylinder 6, and a plurality of clamping mechanisms 9 for clamping the mold are provided on the positioning plate 7. The clamping mechanism 9 includes a second cylinder 901 fixed on the positioning plate 7, and a pressure plate 902 is fixed to the output shaft of the second cylinder 901.

[0028] First, the lifting and clamping assembly will be located above the conveyor with the mold. When clamping the mold, the first cylinder 6 will drive the positioning plate 7 to descend, so that the mold to be clamped is located between the multiple pressure plates 902. Then, the second cylinder 901 of the multiple clamping mechanisms 9 will push the corresponding pressure plate 902 to move toward the mold, thereby applying force to the mold from multiple angles through the multiple pressure plates 902, and then clamping the mold. Then, the first cylinder 6 will reset, thereby increasing the height of the clamped mold. Then, the lifting and clamping assembly will move with the transmission of the connecting device 4, so that the clamped mold it moves to another conveyor. At this time, the first cylinder 6 will drive the mold to descend, so that the mold contacts the conveying crawler of this conveyor. At the same time, the second cylinder 901 resets, so that the pressure plate 902 no longer clamps the mold. After that, the first cylinder 6 resets again, driving the clamping mechanism 9 and the positioning plate 7 to rise so as to no longer hinder the mold and ensure that the mold can be transported normally on the conveyor.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating shafts 301 of the two sets of rotating components 3 are respectively connected to the frame 1 through bearing seats. The rotating component 3 includes a rotating shaft 301, and a sprocket 302 is fixed on the rotating shaft 301. The connecting device 4 is a chain, which is engaged with the sprockets 302 of the two sets of rotating components 3. The mounting plate 5 is directly fixed on the chain, so during the chain transmission process, the position of the mounting plate 5 will change.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the sliding assembly 8 includes a guide rail 801 fixedly connected to the frame 1, and at least one group of sliders 802 are connected to the guide rail 801. The sliders 802 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 5. The sliders 802 and the guide rail 801 cooperate to support and limit the mounting plate 5, thereby ensuring that the mounting plate 5 moves according to the preset moving path without hindering the horizontal movement of the mounting plate 5, and avoiding deviation due to the shaking of the chain.

[0031] Among them, the rotation drive device 2 includes a servo motor 202 and a reducer 201, the output shaft of the servo motor 202 is fixedly connected to the input end of the reducer 201, and the rotating shaft 301 of one group of rotating components 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer 201, so that the rotation drive device 2 can drive the rotating shaft 301 connected to it to rotate, and then drive the sprocket 302 connected to this rotating shaft 301 to rotate, so as to enable the chain transmission with the cooperation of another group of rotating components 3.

[0032] Working principle: first, the lifting and clamping assembly will be located above the conveyor with the mold. When clamping the mold, the first cylinder 6 will drive the positioning plate 7 to descend, so that the mold to be clamped is located between multiple pressure plates 902, and then, the second cylinder 901 will push the pressure plate 902 to move toward the mold, thereby applying force to the mold from multiple angles through multiple pressure plates 902, and then clamping the mold. Then, the first cylinder 6 will reset, thereby increasing the height of the clamped mold, and then, the lifting and clamping assembly will move with the transmission of the connecting device 4, so that the clamped mold it moves to above another conveyor, and then, the first cylinder 6 drives the mold to descend, so that the mold contacts the conveying crawler of this conveyor, at the same time, the second cylinder 901 resets, so that the pressure plate 902 no longer clamps the mold, and after that, the first cylinder 6 resets again, driving the clamping mechanism 9 and the positioning plate 7 to rise so as to no longer hinder the mold, ensuring that the mold can be transported normally on the conveyor.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
