Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bowl steamers, in particular to a clamping and conveying mechanism for bowl steamers. Background Art

[0002] In the food processing industry, bowl steamers are a crucial piece of equipment, widely used in various catering establishments and food processing companies. Their primary function is to heat and cook food in a bowl using steam, achieving fast, uniform, and hygienic cooking results. The gripping and conveying of the bowl are critical process steps in a bowl steamer's operation, and their performance directly impacts the overall efficiency and cooking quality of the steamer.

[0003] Currently, there are various gripping and conveying mechanisms for bowl steamers on the market. One common mechanism uses a guide rail to drive a robotic arm to move, and then a clamp on the robotic arm grips the bowl. This mechanism achieves automated gripping and conveying of bowls to a certain extent, improving production efficiency. However, in practical applications, this mechanism still has some problems.

[0004] Among them, the lack of freedom between the clamp and the robotic arm is a prominent problem. Due to the connection structure limitations between the clamp and the robotic arm, the clamp is often unable to rotate, which results in that when the steaming bowls are placed, if the clamp's claws are located between the steaming bowls, the steaming bowls cannot be placed closely together; the existence of this problem affects the placement effect of the steaming bowls, making the gaps between the steaming bowls too large, reducing space utilization.

[0005] Therefore, a bowl steamer clamping and conveying mechanism is needed to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a clamping and conveying mechanism for a bowl steamer, which achieves the purpose of solving the problems raised in the background technology.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiment of the present utility model specifically adopts the following technical solutions: a bowl steamer clamping and conveying mechanism, including a frame and a robotic arm, the frame is provided with an electric guide rail 1 for driving the robotic arm to move horizontally, and the electric guide rail 1 is provided with an electric guide rail 2 for driving the robotic arm to move vertically; the robotic arm includes a base slidably arranged on the electric guide rail 2, a large arm rotatably arranged on the base, a small arm rotatably arranged at the end of the large arm, and a pneumatic clamp rotatably arranged at the end of the small arm.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0009] A transmission mechanism 1 is provided between the base and the upper arm, and a motor 1 is provided on the base for driving the upper arm to rotate through the transmission mechanism 1.

[0010] The transmission mechanism 1 includes a driven gear fixedly connected to the upper arm, and a driving gear fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1 and meshing with the driven gear.

[0011] A synchronous wheel set 1 is provided between the upper arm and the lower arm, and a motor 2 is provided on the upper arm for rotating the lower arm through the synchronous wheel set 1.

[0012] A second transmission mechanism is provided between the pneumatic clamping jaw and the small arm, and a third motor is provided on the small arm for driving the pneumatic clamping jaw to rotate through the second transmission mechanism.

[0013] The second transmission mechanism includes a worm wheel rotatably arranged at the end of the small arm, and a worm rotatably arranged below the small arm and meshing with the worm wheel.

[0014] The motor three and the worm are connected via a synchronous wheel set two, and the motor three is located below the forearm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present utility model are:

[0016] In actual use, the upper arm can rotate on the base, the lower arm can rotate at the end of the upper arm, and the pneumatic clamp can rotate at the end of the lower arm, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping and transporting the steaming bowl by the robotic arm. When placing the steaming bowl, the pneumatic clamp can rotate at the end of the lower arm, thereby avoiding the problem that the steaming bowls cannot be placed closely together due to the clamp being located between the steaming bowls when placing the steaming bowls.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The present invention discloses a bowl steamer clamping and conveying mechanism, comprising a frame 1 and a robotic arm 2. The frame 1 is provided with an electric guide rail 10 for driving the robotic arm 2 to move laterally. The electric guide rail 10 is provided with an electric guide rail 2 11 for driving the robotic arm 2 to move vertically. The electric guide rail 10 drives the electric guide rail 2 11 to move laterally, thereby driving the robotic arm 2 to move laterally. The electric guide rail 2 11 drives the robotic arm 2 to move vertically. The cooperation between the electric guide rail 10 and the electric guide rail 2 11 can drive the robotic arm 2 to move laterally and vertically.

[0024] The robotic arm 2 includes a base 201 slidably mounted on the electric guide rail 211, an upper arm 202 rotatably mounted on the base 201, a lower arm 203 rotatably mounted at the end of the upper arm 202, and a pneumatic gripper 204 rotatably mounted at the end of the lower arm 203. The pneumatic gripper 204 grips the steaming bowl, and the upper arm 202 rotates on the base 201 and the lower arm 203 rotates at the end of the upper arm 202 to achieve the movement and transportation of the steaming bowl.

[0025] In actual use, the upper arm 202 can rotate on the base 201, the lower arm 203 can rotate at the end of the upper arm 202, and the pneumatic clamp 204 can rotate at the end of the lower arm 203, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping and transporting the steaming bowl by the robotic arm 2. When placing the steaming bowl, the pneumatic clamp 204 can rotate at the end of the lower arm 203, thereby avoiding the problem that the steaming bowls cannot be placed closely together due to the clamp being located between the steaming bowls when the steaming bowls are placed.

[0026] As a further illustration of this application:

[0027] A transmission mechanism 3 is provided between the base 201 and the upper arm 202. A motor 4 is provided on the base 201 to drive the upper arm 202 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 3. After the motor 4 is started, it drives the upper arm 202 to rotate on the base 201 through the transmission mechanism 3.

[0028] As a further illustration of this application:

[0029] Transmission mechanism 3 includes a driven gear 301 fixedly connected to the upper arm 202, and a driving gear 302 fixedly connected to the output end of motor 4 and meshing with the driven gear 301. After motor 4 is started, it drives the driving gear 302 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 301 to rotate, that is, driving the upper arm 202 to rotate.

[0030] As a further illustration of this application:

[0031] A synchronous wheel set 15 is provided between the upper arm 202 and the lower arm 203. The upper arm 202 is provided with a motor 26 which drives the lower arm 203 to rotate through the synchronous wheel set 15. The synchronous wheel set 15 consists of two synchronous wheels and a synchronous belt covered on the synchronous wheels. One of the synchronous wheels is fixed to the output end of the motor 26, and the other synchronous wheel is fixed to the lower arm 203. When the motor 26 is started, it can drive the lower arm 203 to rotate.

[0032] As a further illustration of this application:

[0033] A transmission mechanism 27 is provided between the pneumatic clamp 204 and the small arm 203, and a motor 38 is provided on the small arm 203 to drive the pneumatic clamp 204 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 27; after the motor 38 is started, it drives the pneumatic clamp 204 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 27, so as to adjust the position of the clamp when placing the steaming bowl to avoid the clamp being located between the steaming bowls.

[0034] As a further illustration of this application:

[0035] The transmission mechanism 2 7 includes a worm gear 701 rotatably arranged at the end of the small arm 203, and a worm 702 rotatably arranged below the small arm 203 and engaged with the worm gear 701; after the motor 3 8 is started, it drives the worm gear 702 to rotate, thereby driving the worm gear 701 to rotate, and thus driving the pneumatic clamp 204 to rotate.

[0036] As a further illustration of this application:

[0037] The motor 3 8 and the worm 702 are connected via a synchronous wheel set 2 9. The motor 3 8 is located below the arm 203. The synchronous wheel set 2 9 consists of two synchronous wheels and a synchronous belt covered on the synchronous wheels. One synchronous wheel is fixed to the output end of the motor 3 8, and the other synchronous wheel is fixed to the end of the worm 702. When the motor 3 8 is started, it can drive the worm 702 to rotate.

[0038] A transmission mechanism 2 7 and a synchronous wheel set 2 9 are used between the motor 3 8 and the pneumatic clamp 204 for transmission, so that the motor 3 8 can be placed horizontally, thereby avoiding the vertical motor 3 8 occupying a large vertical space. That is, after saving vertical space, the small arm 203 can be extended into a space of lower height to place the steaming bowl.
