[0002] As the pace of life accelerates, demand for fast foods like instant noodles is growing. To ensure a balanced diet, instant noodles are often packaged with vegetables. The vegetables in the packages are dried, packaged, and then transported to a designated area via a conveyor. Because the vegetable packages are relatively light, to prevent them from shifting or falling off the conveyor belt, stoppers such as rollers are typically installed above the conveyor belt. These rollers exert pressure on the packages, limiting their movement and potential escape.

[0003] However, the current pressing roller design easily crushes the vegetables in the vegetable bag, resulting in a high vegetable breakage rate. Utility Model Content

[0025] As described in the background, to prevent dried vegetable bags from drifting during transport, a limiting element, such as a pressure roller, is typically installed above the conveyor belt. This pressure acts on the bag to limit its movement. Currently used pressure rollers are typically cylindrical, with the distance between the roller's outer surface and the conveyor belt consistent at all points. However, the thickness of a vegetable bag is uneven, typically thicker in the middle than at the sides. Therefore, when the pressure roller contacts the bag, the middle portion experiences the greatest contact area and is subject to the greatest pressure. This results in a high rate of vegetable breakage during transport, compromising the integrity of the vegetables.

[0026] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a vegetable bag transmission device, including a transmission mechanism and at least one limiting mechanism, the limiting mechanism including a limiting block, the limiting block being installed above the conveyor belt, and the limiting block including limiting parts located at both ends of the limiting block and a conveying area located between the limiting parts, when the limiting parts are in contact with the conveyor belt, they can press the side of the vegetable bag conveyed on the conveyor belt, thereby preventing the vegetable bag from drifting during the conveyance process; there is a gap between the conveying area and the conveyor belt, and the gap between the conveying area and the conveyor belt can allow the vegetable bag to pass through, which can reduce the contact area between the limiting block and the vegetable bag, reduce the pressure on the vegetable bag, thereby reducing the breakage rate of vegetables in the vegetable bag, improving the appearance and taste of the vegetables, and improving consumer satisfaction.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and beneficial effects of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a vegetable bag transmission device in one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a schematic cross-sectional view of a limiting mechanism in one embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] Combined with reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The vegetable bun transmission device includes a transmission mechanism and at least one limiting mechanism 20, wherein the transmission mechanism includes a conveyor belt 11, and the conveyor belt 11 is used to transmit the vegetable buns 12; the limiting mechanism 20 includes a limiting block 21, and the limiting block 21 is installed above the conveyor belt 11. The limiting block 21 includes limiting parts 211 located at both ends of the limiting block 21 and a transmission part 212 located between the limiting parts 211. When the limiting parts 211 are in contact with the conveyor belt 11, there is a gap between the transmission area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 for the vegetable buns 12 to pass through.

[0030] Optionally, the limiting block 21 includes but is not limited to a roller structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the limiting portion 211 of the limiting block 21 is in contact with the conveyor belt 11. When the vegetable bag 12 is placed on the conveyor belt 11 for transportation, the edge of the vegetable bag 12 is located between the limiting portion 211 and the conveyor belt 11. The limiting portion 211 is in contact with the edge of the vegetable bag 12, so that the pressure of the limiting block 21 can be used to limit the movement of the vegetable bag 12; and there is a gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11. The gap is used for the vegetable bag 12 to pass through, and the vegetables in the vegetable bag 12 are usually concentrated in the middle part. The gap can reduce the contact between the limiting block 21 and the vegetable bag 12, effectively improve the pressure condition of the vegetable material in the vegetable bag 12, and thus reduce the breakage rate of the vegetable material.

[0032] In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 is the first direction X, the width direction of the conveyor belt 11 is the second direction Y, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the limit block 21 spans above the conveyor belt 11 along the second direction Y.

[0033] The number of the limiting mechanism 20 is one or more. When the number of the limiting mechanism 20 is more than one, the plurality of limiting mechanisms 20 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction (first direction X) of the conveyor belt 11 .

[0034] When the conveying length of the conveyor belt 11 is long, in order to prevent the vegetable bun 12 from drifting at a position where the limiting mechanism 20 is not set, multiple limiting mechanisms 20 can be set at a certain distance to ensure that the position of the vegetable bun 12 is always located in the middle position of the conveyor belt 11.

[0035] Furthermore, the Shore hardness of the material of the limit block 21 is 40HA~50HA. Within this hardness range, it can ensure that the limit block 21 is not too soft and the strength is not high enough to easily fall off, and it can also avoid the limit block 21 being too hard to easily crush the vegetables. It can reduce the pressure on the vegetables in the vegetable bag 12, which is beneficial to reduce the breakage rate of the vegetables.

[0036] In this embodiment, the material of the limiting block 21 is polyurethane.

[0037] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 2 The limiting mechanism 20 further includes a rotating shaft 22 , and the limiting block 21 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 22 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the central axis of the limiting block 21 and the central axis of the rotating shaft 22 coincide with each other.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 22 includes a main body 221 and connecting parts 222 located at both ends of the main body 221 , and the limiting block 21 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the main body 221 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the main body 221 is cylindrical.

[0041] Continue to refer Figure 1 The transmission device further includes a bracket 30 , which is disposed on both sides of the conveyor belt 11 , and the rotating shaft 22 is mounted on the bracket 30 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 222 of the rotating shaft 22 is mounted on the bracket 30 .

[0043] In this embodiment, through holes (not shown) are symmetrically provided on the brackets 30 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 11 , and the connecting portions 222 are inserted into the through holes.

[0044] Furthermore, along the direction from the two ends of the limiting block 21 to the center of the limiting block 21 , the gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 gradually increases.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limit block 21 is a centrosymmetrical structure, the two ends of the limit block 21 are the center points A1 and A2 of the two opposite bottom surfaces of the limit block 21, and the center of the limit block 21 is the center point A3 of the limit block 21.

[0046] Specifically, the gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 gradually increases along the direction from the center point A1 of one bottom surface of the limit block 21 to the center point A3 of the limit block 21 and from the center point A2 of the other bottom surface of the limit block 21 to the center point A3 of the limit block 21.

[0047] Because when the vegetable bag 12 is packaged with vegetables, the amount of vegetables on the sides of the vegetable bag 12 is usually small, and the amount of vegetables in the middle of the vegetable bag 12 is large, the gap gradually increases from the two ends to the middle, and the contact area between the conveying zone 212 and the vegetable bag 12 in the middle is small, and the vegetables in the vegetable bag 12 will not be crushed. Even if the two ends of the conveying zone 12 are in contact with the vegetable bag 12, because the amount of vegetables on the sides of the vegetable bag 12 is small, the overall breakage rate of the vegetables can be reduced.

[0048] Furthermore, the length of the conveying area 212 in the axial direction of the limiting block 21 is less than or equal to the maximum width of the vegetable buns 12 transported on the conveyor belt 11 .

[0049] In this embodiment, after the limit block 21 is installed on the conveyor belt 11, the axial direction of the limit block 21 is parallel to the second direction Y, and the width of the vegetable bun 12 is the width of the vegetable bun 12 along the second direction Y.

[0050] In this embodiment, because the limiting block 21 needs to partially contact the vegetable bun 12 so that the pressure of the limiting block 21 can be used to limit the movement of the vegetable bun 12, the length of the conveying area 212 in the second direction Y is less than or equal to the width of the vegetable bun 12 along the second direction Y, which can ensure that the limiting block 21 plays a role in limiting the movement of the vegetable bun 12.

[0051] It should be noted that the conveyor belt 11 may be used to transport different vegetable buns, and the widths of different vegetable buns may be inconsistent. The axial length of the limit block 21 used is limited according to the maximum width of the vegetable bun to be transported, which can ensure that the limit block 21 can meet the use of vegetable buns of different widths.

[0052] Furthermore, the maximum gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 is greater than or equal to the maximum thickness of the vegetable buns 12 transported on the conveyor belt 11 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the maximum gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 is the vertical distance between the surface of the conveying area 212 corresponding to the center point A3 of the limit block 21 and the conveying point 11, which is greater than or equal to the maximum thickness of the vegetable bag 12, which can reduce the degree of crushing of the vegetables.

[0054] refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the limiting block 21 has a single-leaf hyperboloid structure.

[0055] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the limit block 21 is a curved surface, the surface of the transmission area 212 is an arc surface, and the change in the gap is relatively gentle, which can reduce the pressure on the vegetable bag 12; in addition, the curved surface design makes the rotation of the limit block 21 smoother.

[0056] Figure 3It is a schematic cross-sectional view of a limiting mechanism in another embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] refer to Figure 3 In another embodiment, the outer surface of the limiting block 21 may also be a straight surface, and the longitudinal cross-section of the transfer area 212 may be triangular, which can also achieve the effect of reducing the pressure on the vegetable bag 12.

[0058] Figure 4 It is a schematic cross-sectional view of a limiting mechanism in yet another embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] refer to Figure 4 In another embodiment, the gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 may also remain unchanged in the direction from the two ends of the limit block 21 to the center of the limit block 21.

[0060] In this embodiment, the longitudinal cross-section of the conveying area 212 is rectangular, and the limiting portions 211 at both ends of the limiting block 21 are in contact with the edges of the vegetable buns 12 to limit the movement of the vegetable buns 12. The gap between the conveying area 212 and the conveyor belt 11 allows the vegetable buns 12 to pass through, thereby reducing the pressure on the vegetable buns 12.

[0061] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism further includes a motor (not shown), and the motor is used to drive the conveyor belt 11 for transmission.

[0062] Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a convenience food, comprising a container and a vegetable package, wherein the vegetable package is placed in the container and is transported by the above-mentioned vegetable package transmission device.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vegetable packages in the convenience food are transported by the above-mentioned vegetable package transport device, and the breakage rate of the dried vegetables in the vegetable packages is low, which is beneficial to improving the appearance and taste of the product and increasing consumer satisfaction.

[0064] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
