Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of tray processing, in particular to a food tray receiving device. Background Art

[0002] Food pallets are widely used for all types of fresh food, and are also suitable for supermarkets, food processing plants, and other places. As a key container for food and fresh produce, food pallets play a vital role in ensuring food safety and improving production efficiency. With the continuous advancement of technology and the popularization of environmental protection concepts, the application prospects of food pallets will be even broader. Pallet production is often carried out in large quantities due to the large quantities required. Currently, the pallet collection process is mostly mechanical.

[0003] However, most of the existing pallet collecting devices are unable to collect the produced pallets during the production process, and have a relatively low degree of automation, resulting in relatively low work efficiency. In addition, the produced pallets cannot be well protected, thereby reducing the product qualification rate of the device. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a food tray collecting device, aiming to solve the problem that the existing tray collecting device is low in efficiency during the collecting process and cannot collect the produced trays.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The tray material receiving device includes a frame, a pair of supporting and limiting seats are provided at the bottom of the frame, and a material receiving seat is slidingly provided at the top. A linear motor is also provided on the top of the frame for driving the material receiving seat to slide. A material receiving bin rack is provided on the supporting and limiting seat, and a liftable material receiving mechanism is provided in the frame opposite to the material receiving bin rack. The material receiving mechanism includes a material receiving seat, and a group of threaded holes are opened on the left and right sides of the material receiving seat, and a pair of adjustment plates are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the material receiving seat, and a suction cup column is provided downward at the front end of the adjustment plate, and a short slot is opened at the rear end, and a locking nut is inserted into the short slot, and the locking nut is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole. A pair of clamping blocks are provided on the front and rear sides of the material receiving seat for rotating downward, and the clamping block is located between the two pairs of adjustment plates. A clamping cylinder for driving the clamping block to rotate is also provided on the material receiving seat.

[0007] Furthermore, the material receiving bin rack includes a material receiving plate, which has a longitudinal slide groove on the left and right sides, and a pair of transverse slide grooves on the front and back. Guide columns are slidably provided in the longitudinal and transverse slide grooves, and a pair of circular holes are provided at the bottom of the guide columns, into which interference nuts are screwed.

[0008] Furthermore, the support and limit seat is a C-shaped plate with the opening facing upward, and a pair of support seats are provided at the bottom of the receiving plate. A pair of bottom edges are formed at the bottom of the support seat, and the support seat is inserted into the corresponding support and limit seat through the bottom edge.

[0009] Furthermore, a pair of slide rails are provided inside the frame, the material receiving seat is slidably provided on the slide rails, and an upper and lower pair of pulleys are rotatably provided on the frame, a matching belt is placed between the pulleys, and the back side of the material receiving seat is connected to the corresponding position of the belt through a connecting block. The frame is also provided with a driving motor for driving the lower pulley to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, a pair of limit seats are provided at the bottom of the frame, a handle is provided on the right side of the receiving plate, and a pair of bottom blocks are provided on the left side of the bottom of the receiving plate, and the limit seats are in contact with the bottom blocks.

[0011] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when the pallet is delivered to the position, the transfer mechanism transfers the pallet to the material receiving seat, and then the material receiving seat slides to the material receiving position. Previously, the material receiving mechanism was located directly above the material receiving seat. After the material receiving mechanism moves downward and grabs the current pallet, the material receiving seat resets and forms an avoidance. The material receiving mechanism continues to move downward until the current pallet falls into the material receiving bin rack, and the material receiving mechanism moves upward to wait for the next pallet to be adsorbed. Until the material receiving bin rack is full of pallets, the current material receiving bin rack can be taken out of the rack, and then the next material receiving bin rack can be placed into the rack as required.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is 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 utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0019] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0020] For the sake of convenience, only the parts related to the embodiments of the present invention are shown.

[0021] Combine Figure 1-6 As shown, the tray material receiving device includes a frame 1, a pair of supporting and limiting seats 2 are provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and a material receiving seat 3 is provided for sliding on the top. A linear motor 4 is also provided on the top of the frame 1 for driving the material receiving seat 3 to slide, and a material receiving bin frame 5 is provided on the supporting and limiting seat 2. A liftable material receiving mechanism is provided in the frame 1 opposite to the material receiving bin frame 5, and the material receiving mechanism includes a material receiving seat 6, and a group of threaded holes 7 are opened on the left and right sides of the material receiving seat 6, and a pair of adjustment plates 8 are also provided on the left and right sides of the material receiving seat 6. The front end of the adjustment plate 8 is provided with a suction cup column 9 facing downward, and a short slot 10 is opened at the rear end. A locking nut is inserted into the short slot 10, and the locking nut is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole 7. A pair of clamping blocks 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the material receiving seat 6 for rotating downward. The clamping block 11 is located between the two pairs of adjustment plates 8, and a clamping cylinder (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the material receiving seat 6 for driving the clamping block 11 to rotate.

[0022] In this embodiment, after pallet production is completed, they are unloaded one by one onto a conveyor table in an orderly manner. The pallets are then transported by the conveyor table toward the receiving device. Once a pallet is in place, a transfer mechanism transfers it to the receiving seat. The linear motor then drives the receiving seat to the receiving position, where the receiving mechanism is located directly above the receiving seat. The receiving mechanism moves downward a short distance to grab the current pallet, after which the receiving seat returns to its original position and moves out of the way. The receiving mechanism continues downward until the current pallet lands on the receiving hopper, at which point it moves upward to wait for the next pallet to be picked up. Once the hopper is full of pallets, the current hopper can be removed from the rack, and the next hopper can be placed into the rack as required. In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism can be a suction cup or other transfer mechanism. Since this transfer mechanism is not a key feature of this device, it will not be discussed here.

[0023] In the above process, when the receiving mechanism is used to grab a pallet, the receiving base first moves downward a short distance until the four suction cup posts contact the four corners of the pallet. The suction cup posts then attract the suction cups. The clamping cylinder then drives the clamping block to rotate, which then clamps the pallet securely. The receiving base then moves upward a short distance, moving the pallet away from the receiving base, and the receiving base returns to its original position. Finally, the receiving base moves downward until the pallet falls into the receiving bin.

[0024] In this structure, the suction column's mounting position and angle can be fine-tuned using an adjustment plate to accommodate pallets of varying sizes. Simply loosen the locking nuts one by one, allowing the corresponding adjustment plates to move, adjusting the suction column's mounting position and angle. Once the position and angle are determined, tighten the locking nuts to complete the adjustment process, making it simple and quick.

[0025] In this structure, if Figure 6 A pair of slide rails 12 are provided inside the frame 1, and the material receiving seat 6 is slidably provided on the slide rails 12. A pair of upper and lower pulleys 13 are rotatably provided on the frame 1, and a matching belt 14 is sleeved between the pulleys 13. The back of the material receiving seat 6 is connected to the corresponding position of the belt through a connecting block 22. The frame 1 is also provided with a driving motor 16 for driving the lower pulley to rotate.

[0026] When the receiving seat needs to move up and down, the drive motor starts working and drives the lower pulley to rotate, the belt rotates, and the receiving seat moves vertically during the rotation of the belt. For example, when the belt rotates clockwise, the receiving seat moves upward, and similarly, when the belt rotates counterclockwise, the receiving seat moves downward.

[0027] As a priority structure, such as Figure 2 The material receiving bin rack 5 includes a material receiving plate 51, which has a longitudinal slide groove 52 on the left and right sides, and a pair of transverse slide grooves 53 on the front and back. Guide columns 54 are slidably provided in the longitudinal slide grooves 52 and the transverse slide grooves 53. A pair of circular holes 55 are provided at the bottom of the guide columns 54, and interference nuts (not shown in the figure) are screwed into the circular holes 55.

[0028] In this structure, all guide posts form a material storage bin. When collecting pallets, the collection mechanism transfers and stacks them one by one in an orderly manner into the storage bin. The guide posts also provide guidance during the stacking process, making the entire stacking process more stable and improving the overall collection efficiency.

[0029] Furthermore, the size of the material receiving and storage bin can be adjusted by adjusting the position of each guide post, thereby accommodating pallets of varying sizes. To adjust the position of a guide post, simply loosen the corresponding interference nut. This will allow the corresponding guide post to move across the material receiving plate. Once in position, tighten the interference nut again until it engages the corresponding chute. This will prevent the guide post from sliding further. This process continues until all guide posts are in place.

[0030] In this receiving device, if Figure 3-4 The support and limit seat 2 is a C-shaped plate with the opening facing upward. A pair of support seats 17 are provided at the bottom of the receiving plate 51. A pair of bottom edges 18 are formed at the bottom of the support seat 17. The support seat 17 is inserted into the corresponding support and limit seat 2 through the bottom edges 18.

[0031] The support and limit seats function to limit and support the material receiving bin rack. To place the material receiving bin rack into the rack, first align the two support seats with the support and limit seats, then insert the pair of bottom edges of the support seats into the support and limit seats on the same side as required. At this point, the top of the support and limit seats supports the support seats, and the bottom edges of the support seats are both located within the support and limit seats. Then, push the material receiving bin rack inward, during which the bottom edges of the support seats slide within the support and limit seats.

[0032] In addition, a pair of limiting seats 19 are provided at the bottom of the frame 1, a handle 20 is provided on the right side of the receiving plate 51, and a pair of bottom blocks 21 are provided on the left side of the bottom of the receiving plate 51, and the limiting seats 19 abut against the bottom blocks 21.

[0033] The handle can facilitate placing the material receiving bin rack into the frame or taking the material receiving bin rack out of the frame. After the support base is inserted into the support limit base through the bottom edge, the handle is used to push the material receiving bin rack into the frame until the limit base blocks the bottom block.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
