Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food machinery, in particular to an automatic cage swinging device for round cages. Background Art

[0002] In an automated steamed bun production line, after being cut and kneaded, the dough must be neatly arranged onto trays and transported to the steaming room for steaming. Round steamers are currently more practical due to their advantages in both processing and handling compared to square steamers. However, the process of manually removing the dough from the conveyor line and placing it in the round baskets is tedious and labor-intensive, requiring multiple workers. Furthermore, the quality of the basket placement is easily affected by human factors, making it difficult to maintain hygienic standards and not meeting the requirements of automated production.

[0003] Existing devices for automatically placing steamed bun embryos generally place them in rows on the steamer. This method of placing the steamed bun embryos is suitable for square steamers with the same number of steamed bun embryos placed in each row. For round steamers, since the number of steamed bun embryos placed in the outermost row and the middle row in the round steamer is quite different, but the time required for the placement process is not much different, if this method of taking and placing is still used, the conveying speed of the steamed bun embryos needs to be controlled not to be too fast, otherwise the steamed bun embryos will pile up. If the conveying speed of the steamed bun embryos is slow, the work efficiency will be reduced. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] In the present utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and defined, terms such as “set,” “install,” “connect,” “connect,” and “fix” should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a mechanical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, “multiple” means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0027] Example 1: Figure 1-9 As shown, the utility model provides an automatic swing cage device for a round cage, comprising a round cage 17, a column 1, an X-axis motion module 2 arranged on the top of the column 1, and a Y-axis motion module 3 installed on the X-axis motion module 2, wherein the bottom of the Y-axis motion module 3 is connected to the Z-axis motion module 4, the bottom of the Z-axis motion module 4 is provided with a conveyor belt 5, the Z-axis motion module 4 comprises a Z-axis linear slide 41 and a first clamping mechanism arranged at the bottom of the Z-axis linear slide 41, a second clamping mechanism is provided on the Z-axis linear slide 41 and on both sides of the first clamping mechanism, and the second clamping mechanism is provided. The mechanism can slide into the first clamping mechanism. A workbench 6 for placing the round cage 17 is provided on one side of the conveyor belt 5. Two round cage stacking racks 7 are symmetrically provided on one side of the workbench 6. A base 8 is provided between the two round cage stacking racks 7. A driving mechanism 9 for lifting the round cage 17 and placing it on the round cage stacking rack 7 is provided in the base 8. The driving mechanism 9 includes a hydraulic cylinder 91 and a tray 92. When the hydraulic cylinder 91 is extended, the round cage 17 on the tray 92 can be formed to rise first and then rotate to rise. When the hydraulic cylinder 91 is retracted, the tray 92 can be formed to first descend and then rotate in the opposite direction to descend.

[0028] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 6As shown, the X-axis motion module 2 and the Y-axis motion module 3 both include a linear motion module consisting of a drive motor, a guide rail, a slider, and a synchronous belt. Since it is a prior art, the detailed connection method in this embodiment will not be repeated. The first clamping mechanism is fixed relative to the Z-axis linear slide rail, and the second clamping mechanism can move relative to or toward and away from the Z-axis linear slide rail. When moving away from each other, the overall clamping length of the second clamping mechanism and the first clamping mechanism increases, which can increase the number of steamed bun embryos that can be clamped at one time. When the two second clamping mechanisms move toward each other, the clamping length decreases, so as to reduce the number of steamed bun embryos that can be clamped at one time. The workbench 6 is used to place empty round cages. The steamed bun embryos clamped by the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism are driven by the X-axis motion module 2 and the Y-axis motion module 3 and are transported to the round cage 17 for placement. The round cage stacking rack 7 is fixed to both sides of the base 8 by bolts, and the tray 92 is used to carry the round cage 17. Under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 91, the round cage 17 on the tray 92 is first lifted up and rotated, and then lowered, so that the handle of the round cage 17 is stuck on the round cage stacking rack 7, and the stacking is repeated. Multiple round cages 17 are stacked on the round cage stacking rack 7. When the round cages 17 are stacked for the last time, the hydraulic cylinder 91 lifts up and rotates the last round cage 17 and the round cages 17 already stacked on the round cage stacking rack 7. The handle of the last round cage 17 is in an overhead state, and the staff can transfer the stacked round cages 17 as a whole to a place suitable for proofing for secondary fermentation.

[0029] The first clamping mechanism includes a first clamping cylinder 42 and a first clamping jaw 43, and the second clamping mechanism includes a second clamping cylinder 44 and a second clamping jaw 45. One end of the Z-axis linear slide 41 is provided with a motor 46 for driving the two second clamping cylinders 44 to move relative to or back to back.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a screw is provided in the Z-axis linear slide 41, and the top of the second clamping cylinder 44 is threadedly connected to the screw. The motor 46 drives the screw to rotate, driving the two second clamping cylinders 44 to move relative to each other or back and forth. When moving relative to each other, the second clamping jaw 45 can be extended and retracted into the first clamping jaw 43, so that the overall clamping length composed of the first clamping jaw 43 and the second clamping jaw 45 increases or decreases. The first cylinder 42 and the second cylinder 44 are both double-slider guide rodless cylinders, which are used to control the clamping and release of the clamping jaws.

[0031] The workbench 6 is provided with two slide rails 10, which extend to the base 8, and a slide plate 11 is slidably connected to the two slide rails 10. The slide plate 11 is provided with a through hole 12 for allowing the tray 92 to pass through. A telescopic cylinder 13 is provided at the end of the workbench 6 away from the base 8, and the protruding end of the telescopic cylinder 13 is connected to the slide plate 11.

[0032] like Figure 4-6As shown, the round cage 17 is on the slide 11. The round cage 17 can be pushed along the slide rail 10 to the top of the tray 92 by the telescopic cylinder 13. The hydraulic cylinder 91 controls the tray 92 to rise through the through hole 12 to lift the round cage 17. The telescopic cylinder 13 contracts and drives the slide 11 back to the workbench 6 to wait for the next round cage 17.

[0033] A positioning block 14 is provided at the end of the slide plate 11 , and a positioning groove 15 for accommodating the handle of the round cage 17 is formed on the positioning block 14 .

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the positioning groove 15 is used to place a handle of the round cage 17, which can limit the placement position of the round cage 17 to ensure that the handle falls on the round cage stacking rack 7 after the round cage 17 is rotated.

[0035] The round cage stacking racks 7 are each provided with supporting plates 16 for supporting the round cages 17 .

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 16 is used to support the handle of the round cage 17 to set up the round cage 17.

[0037] The support plate 16 is provided with a limiting groove 18 .

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting groove 18 can be used to prevent the round cage 17 from sliding on the support plate 16.

[0039] The driving mechanism 9 also includes a sleeve 93 and a support shaft 94. The support shaft 94 is sleeved in the sleeve 93, and the tray 92 is arranged on the top of the support shaft 94. A parallelogram-shaped slide groove 95 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 93. The four side grooves of the slide groove 95 are provided with stepped protrusions 96. A sliding hole is provided on the outer wall of the support shaft 94. The sliding hole is connected to a slide column 97 through a spring 98. The end of the slide column 97 away from the spring 98 is in the slide groove 95. The bottom of the support shaft 94 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 91.

[0040] like Figure 6-9 As shown, a mounting cavity is provided in the base 8, and the sleeve 93 is fixed in the mounting cavity, and the hydraulic cylinder 91 is installed at the bottom of the cavity through the bolt member. The piston rod end of the hydraulic cylinder 91 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the support shaft 94 through the bearing, and the slide column 97 slides along the slide groove 95 in the slide groove 95. The stepped protrusion 96 at the bottom of the slide groove 95, and the end of the slide column 97 can slide along the stepped protrusion 96. Under the elastic action of the spring 98, when the slide column 97 runs to the high position with the stepped protrusion 96, the slide column 97 will retract a part of the slide hole, and can be reset when it runs to the low position, which can ensure that the slide column 97 slides unidirectionally in the slide groove 95. The slide groove 95 with a parallelogram structure enables the slide column 97 to drive the support shaft 94 to move along the slide groove 95 and reset the slide column 97 to its original position.

[0041] The two parallel side grooves of the chute 95 are vertically opened, and the other two opposite side grooves of the chute 95 are inclined upward.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the two opposite side grooves of the vertical structure, when the sliding column 97 slides in a vertically opened side groove, the support shaft 94 is controlled to rise; when the sliding column 97 slides in the other vertically opened side groove, the support column 94 descends; when the sliding column 97 slides in an inclined side groove, the support column 94 rotates and rises; when the sliding column 97 slides in the other inclined side groove, the support column 94 rotates and descends; the overall movement process of the support shaft 94 is: the support shaft 94 first rises, then rotates 90° while rising, then descends, and finally descends again, and at the same time rotates 90° in the opposite direction during the descent to reset the support shaft 94 to its original position, and then repeat the above movement.

[0043] The method for swinging the cage with an automatic swinging device for a round cage includes the following steps: ① For the convenience of description, the grate plate on the round cage 17 is evenly divided into seven rows of A, B, C, D, E, F, and G from front to back, such as Figure 10 As shown, the number of steamed bun embryos placed in seven rows gradually decreases from the middle to the sides. First, the round cage 17 is placed on the slide 11. When placing it, be sure to place one handle of the round cage 17 in the positioning groove 95. At this time, the two handles of the round cage 17 are set parallel to the stacking rack 7. Then, the steamed bun embryo production line, X-axis motion module 2, Y-axis motion module 3, and Z-axis motion module 4 are started.

[0044] ② Start the motor 46, which controls the two second clamping mechanisms to move backwards to expand the clamping length. The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism synchronously clamp the steamed bun embryo on the conveyor belt 5, and place the steamed bun embryo on the D row along the X-axis motion module 2 and the Y-axis motion module 3; then the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism return to the top of the conveyor belt 5. During the return process, the motor 46 controls the second clamping mechanism to move relative to each other to shorten the clamping length, and then clamps the steamed bun embryo and places the steamed bun embryo on the C row or the E row along the X-axis motion module 2 and the Y-axis motion module 3; the first clamping mechanism The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism continue to return to the top of the conveyor belt 5 to wait for clamping the steamed bun embryo. During the return process, the motor 46 controls the second clamping mechanism to move backward, so that the clamping length is increased. The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism clamp the steamed bun embryo and place the steamed bun embryo clamped by the first clamping mechanism on row A or row G along the X-axis motion module 2 and the Y-axis motion module 3. At this time, the first clamping claw of the first clamping mechanism is in an idle state. Then the motor 46 controls the second clamping mechanism to move toward the direction of the first clamping mechanism and place the steamed bun embryo on row B or row F along the X-axis motion module 2.

[0045] ③ The round cage 17 filled with steamed bun embryos in step ② is pushed to the top of the tray 92 by the telescopic cylinder 13, and the hydraulic cylinder 91 is started. The hydraulic cylinder 91 extends and pushes the support shaft 94 to extend along the direction of the sleeve 93. During the extension process, the slide column 97 slides along the slide groove 95 of the parallelogram mechanism, and the support shaft 94 first lifts the round cage 17. The hydraulic cylinder 91 continues to push the support shaft 94 upward to rise. During the rising process, the round cage 17 on the tray 92 rotates 90° so that the handle on the round cage 17 is located directly above the support plate 16. Then the hydraulic cylinder 91 is controlled to retract, and the tray 92 first descends, and the handle is located on the support plate 16. The hydraulic cylinder 91 continues to contract, and the tray 92 descends again. During the descending process, it rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction to reset the support shaft 94. The operation is repeated in this way. The next round cage lifts up the previous round cage, so that the handle of the next round cage is placed on the support plate 16. The previous round cage is stacked on the top of the next round cage, completing the stacking of multiple round cages 17. When a certain number of round cages 17 are stacked, the last round cage lifts up the previous round cage on the support plate 16 together, and then lifts up while rotating, so that the handle of the last round cage 17 is in an overhead state. The staff transfers the stacked round cages 17 as a whole to a place suitable for proofing for secondary fermentation.

[0046] Example 2: If the number of steamed bun embryos placed on the grate plate of the round cage 17 in seven rows is 3, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, and 3 from front to back, and the length of the first clamping jaw 43 and the second clamping jaw 45 are the same, when the cage is set, if in the initial state, the clamping length of the first clamping jaw 43 and the second clamping jaw 45 is the longest, and the number of steamed bun embryos clamped by the first clamping jaw 43 and the second clamping jaw 45 is the same, both are 3 steamed bun embryos, the conveyor belt 5 continuously transports the steamed bun embryos, and the two second clamping jaws 45 move relative to each other, and the first clamping jaw 43 and the second clamping jaw 45 clamp 2 and 3 steamed bun embryos respectively The first embryo moves toward the direction of the round cage 17 and is placed on the D row of the round cage 17. The first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 return toward the direction of the conveyor belt 5. During the return process, the two second clamps 45 continue to move relative to each other. The first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 respectively clamp 1 and 3 steamed bun embryos, move toward the direction of the round cage 17 and place it on the E row of the round cage 17. The first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 return toward the direction of the conveyor belt 5. During the return process, the two second clamps 45 move backwards and return to the initial state. The first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 each clamps 3 steamed bun embryos and moves toward the round cage 17, and places the steamed bun embryos clamped by the first clamp 43 on the G row of the round cage 17. The first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 move toward the F row of the round cage 17. During the movement, the two second clamps 45 move relative to each other and enter the first clamp 43, and then place them on the F row. Subsequently, the first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 move toward the direction of the conveyor belt 5, and at the same time, the two second clamps 45 move backwards, and the first clamp 43 and the second clamp 45 clamp 2 and 3 steamed bun embryos respectively. It is placed on row C, and as mentioned above, the steamed bun embryos are placed on C, A, and B in turn. In the process of placing the steamed bun embryos on the round cage 17, according to the conventional cage-swinging method, 7 rows need to take out the steamed bun embryos seven times and place them seven times. In this embodiment, only the steamed bun embryos need to be taken out five times and placed seven times. In the traditional cage-swinging method of taking out one row and placing one row, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 5 cannot be too fast, otherwise the steamed bun embryos will accumulate on the conveyor belt 5. Therefore, compared with the traditional cage-swinging method, the utility model can greatly shorten the cage-swinging time and improve production efficiency.
