It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all of its components.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components.

A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 7, which is one embodiment of an automated wax canning and cooling device 100 of the present application. The automated wax canning and cooling device 100 comprises a filling machine 1, molds 2, a tray 3, and a conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 is located below the filling machine 1. The tray 3 is placed on the conveyor belt 4. A plurality of molds 2 are arranged on the tray 3. The filling machine 1 can sequentially fill the molds 2 on the conveyor belt 4 with wax.

[0029] A cooling device 5 is located behind the filling machine 1. It comprises a cooling and conveying chamber 51, a cooling duct, a refrigerator 54, a filter 55, and a fan 56. A filter 55 is located at the outlet of the refrigerator 54 to filter dust. A fan 56 is located at the other end of the filter 55 to increase the air speed. The fan 56 is connected to the cooling and conveying chamber 51 via a first cooling duct 52. The cooling and conveying chamber 51 is connected to the inlet of the refrigerator 54 via a second cooling duct 53. The diameter of the first cooling duct 52 gradually decreases toward the cooling and conveying chamber 51, allowing the air speed to increase again.

[0030] The cooling and conveying bin 51 is located behind the filling machine 1. The cooling and conveying bin 51 is arranged above the conveyor belt 4. The cold air after being cooled and accelerated by the refrigerator 54 can quickly cool the mold 2 after filling with wax material. The initially cooled wax block is now in a semi-solidified state and the surface is solidified, which can prevent it from spilling during the conveyance process.

[0031] The cooling and conveying chamber 51 includes a first gate 57 and a second gate 58, which are located at either end of the cooling and conveying chamber 51. The first gate 57 is located closer to the filling machine 1 than the second gate 58. Both the first gate 57 and the second gate 58 are equipped with sensors 59 to detect whether the gates are closed. The gates on both sides of the cooling and conveying chamber 51 can be sealed during cooling to prevent cold air from escaping.

[0032] A temperature sensor 50 is also installed at the connection between the cooling and conveying chamber 51 and the second cooling air duct 52. When the detected air temperature does not reach the specified temperature, the wax material in the mold 2 needs to continue cooling. When a tray 3 enters the cooling and conveying chamber 51, the conveyor belt 4 will stop conveying, allowing the tray 3 to remain in the cooling and conveying chamber 51 for a period of time until the detected air temperature reaches the specified temperature, at which time the conveyor belt 4 will start again. In addition, a photoelectric sensor can be installed at the first gate 57 to detect whether the next tray 3 is approaching. When the next tray 3 is detected, the first gate 57 can automatically open. Similarly, a photoelectric sensor can be installed at the second gate 58 to automatically open when the tray 3 needs to leave the cooling and conveying chamber 51.

[0033] See also Figure 1The wax material automatic canning cooling device 100 further includes a cold storage 6, which is located behind the cooling and conveying bin 51. Part of the conveyor belt 4 is located in the cold storage 6 and is used to convey the wax material cooled by the cooling and conveying bin 51 to the cold storage 6. The cold storage 6 is used to further cool the initially cooled wax blocks.

[0034] At least one pair of pallet support columns 7 and pallet lifting devices 9 are provided in the cold storage 6. One pallet support column 7 is arranged with a certain width between the other pallet support columns 7. The width of the interval is slightly larger than the width of the pallet 3. A pair of rotatable support claws 8 are provided at the same horizontal position on the opposite sides of the pair of pallet support columns 7. There are multiple pairs of support claws 8 distributed along the vertical height. The pallets 3 can be supported on the support claws 8 and multiple pallets can be stacked in the vertical direction to save space. Figure 5 In the supporting state shown, the gap between the supporting claws 8 is smaller than the width of the tray 3.

[0035] The pallet lifting device 9 includes a telescopic arm 91 and a lifting device 92. The lifting device 92 can be in the form of a vertically arranged chain, a transmission belt, etc. The telescopic arm 91 is connected to the lifting device 92 and can rise or fall with the lifting device 92. The telescopic arm 91 can be specifically realized by a cylinder. The pallet 3 is provided with a slot 31. The telescopic arm 91 can extend into the slot 31 to drive the pallet 3 to rise, automatically moving the pallet 3 from the lower layer of the pallet support 7 to the upper layer, thereby improving the degree of automation. Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the supporting claws 8 can be driven by the tray 3 to rotate upward when the tray 3 rises, so that the tray 3 passes through the gap between the two tray pillars 7 and automatically resets. After resetting, the supporting claws 8 can support the tray 3.

[0036] See also Figure 6 The tray support 7 is provided with a rotating shaft 71 and an elastic member (not shown in the figure). The rotating shaft 71 is arranged between the side walls of the tray support 7. The supporting claw 8 and the elastic member are sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 71. The elastic member is arranged inside the supporting claw 8. The supporting claw 8 can only rotate from bottom to top. The supporting claw 8 has a long end 81, a short end 82 and an arc portion 83. The long end 81 and the short end 82 are connected by the arc portion 83. The long end 81 and the short end 82 are arranged vertically. Figure 3 As shown, when the tray 3 contacts the long ends 81 from below, the upward force exerted by the lifting device 92 allows the support claws 8 to rotate upward about the rotation axis 71, rotating the tray 3 while moving upward until it completely passes the support claws 8. The support claws 8 are then reset by the elastic member, and the gap between the long ends 81 of the support claws is smaller than the width of the tray 3. After the reset, the tray 3 above the support claws 8 can be supported by the corresponding support claws. Once the wax blocks in the cold storage 50 are completely solidified, the next packaging process can be carried out.

[0037] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the scope defined by the claims. Several improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
