Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquor brewing, in particular to a steamer turning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] During the brewing process of liquor, the raw materials need to be steamed and then put into the material transport cart for the next step. The steamer is generally set at a high place. When unloading, the motor is used to drive the steamer to flip, so that the material in the steamer falls into the material transport cart below the steamer.

[0003] When steaming materials, it is necessary to ensure that the steamer is in a stable horizontal state. Existing steamers are generally fixed on a flip mechanism, and then fixed to the floor plate through the flip mechanism. The motor of the flip mechanism cooperates with the brake, and the brake is used to lock the rotating shaft so that the steamer remains in an open upward state.

[0004] However, the principle of brakes is to brake through friction, which causes brake components (such as brake pads and brake discs) to wear over time. This wear not only reduces braking efficiency but also increases maintenance costs, such as the need to replace brake pads regularly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a steamer flipping mechanism, in which the linear drive device can drive the limit assembly to extend out of the supporting plate, so that the limit assembly contacts the floor plate, thereby preventing the supporting plate from rotating, so as to fix the supporting plate without the need for the cooperation of a servo motor and a brake, thereby reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the stability of the supporting plate.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] A steamer flipping mechanism includes a rotary drive device and a supporting plate for supporting the steamer. A rotating shaft is fixed to the driving end of the rotary drive device, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the supporting plate. At least two sets of limiting devices are provided at the bottom of the supporting plate. The limiting device includes a linear drive device and a limiting assembly fixed to the bottom of the supporting plate. The linear drive device is used to drive the limiting assembly to extend out of the supporting plate and contact the floor plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the driving end of the linear drive device, and at least one set of limiting plates is installed on one side of the mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a U-shaped plate is provided on the outer side of the limiting plate, and an opening of the U-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bearing plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a ball is embedded in the contact surface of the U-shaped plate and the limiting plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the linear drive device is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting plate is connected to the carrying plate via a sliding assembly.

[0013] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a sliding groove opened at the bottom of the bearing plate, a slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the slider is fixedly connected to the limiting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, a first bearing seat and a second bearing seat are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shaft outside the bearing plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The linear drive device of the utility model can drive the limit assembly to extend out of the load-bearing plate, so that the limit assembly contacts the floor plate, thereby preventing the load-bearing plate from rotating, so as to fix the load-bearing plate without the need for the cooperation of the servo motor and the brake, thereby reducing maintenance costs and ensuring the stability of the load-bearing plate.

[0017] The balls of the present invention can roll by themselves, so the limit plate encounters less resistance when moving in the U-shaped plate, thereby reducing noise. In addition, the slider can slide in the slide groove, thereby reducing the friction generated when the limit plate moves, thereby further reducing noise.

[0018] The U-shaped plate of the utility model can exert force on the limiting plate, thereby improving the stability thereof and preventing the limiting plate and the mounting plate from being deformed due to excessive force. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a steamer flipping mechanism includes a rotary drive device 2 and a supporting plate 1 supporting a steamer 3. The rotary drive device 2 is a servo motor with a self-locking function. A rotating shaft 5 is fixed to the driving end of the rotary drive device 2. The rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 1. At least two groups of limiting devices 4 are provided at the bottom of the supporting plate 1. The two groups of limiting devices 4 are arranged opposite to each other. The limiting device 4 includes a linear drive device 401 and a limiting assembly 402 fixed to the bottom of the supporting plate 1. The linear drive device 401 is used to drive the limiting assembly 402 to extend out of the supporting plate 1 and contact the floor plate.

[0028] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, under normal conditions, the supporting plate 1 carries the steamer 3 with its opening facing upwards. The thickness of the supporting plate 1 is the same as that of the floor plate. Since the first bearing seat 9 and the second bearing seat 8 are respectively installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 5 located outside the supporting plate 1, the mechanism can be fixed to the floor plate through the first bearing seat 9 and the second bearing seat 8 as well as the rotation drive device 2, and the height of the supporting plate 1 and the floor plate can be ensured to be the same.

[0029] When the opening of the steamer 3 needs to be kept facing upward, the linear drive device 401 drives the limiting assembly 402 to extend out of the carrying plate 1, so that the limiting assembly 402 contacts the floor plate. At this time, at least two groups of limiting assemblies 402 will contact the floor plates on both sides of the carrying plate 1 respectively, thereby effectively limiting the carrying plate 1 and preventing it from rotating, thereby eliminating the need to use the servo motor and brake to fix the carrying plate 1.

[0030] When the material in the steamer 3 needs to be unloaded, the linear drive device 401 drives the limit assembly 402 to reset, and then the rotary drive device 2 drives the supporting plate 1 to rotate 180 degrees through the rotating shaft 5, so that the material in the steamer 3 falls into the material transport trolley.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 3As shown, the limiting assembly 402 includes a mounting plate 4021 fixedly connected to the driving end of the linear drive device 401, and at least one set of limiting plates 4022 is installed on one side of the mounting plate 4021. The limiting plates 4022 will contact the floor plate to prevent the rotation of the supporting plate 1.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a U-shaped plate 4023 is provided on the outside of the limiting plate 4022, and the opening of the U-shaped plate 4023 is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 1. When the limiting plate 4022 limits the rotation of the supporting plate 1, the U-shaped plate 4023 can apply force to the limiting plate 4022 to improve its stability and prevent the limiting plate 4022 and the mounting plate 4021 from being deformed due to excessive force.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the contact surface of the U-shaped plate 4023 and the limiting plate 4022 is embedded with a ball 6, and the U-shaped plate 4023 contacts the limiting plate 4022 through the ball 6. Since the ball 6 itself can roll, the limiting plate 4022 encounters less resistance when moving in the U-shaped plate 4023, thereby reducing noise.

[0034] The linear drive device 401 is a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 2 or Figure 5 As shown, the limit plate 4022 is connected to the supporting plate 1 through a sliding component 7. The sliding component 7 includes a sliding groove 701 opened at the bottom of the supporting plate 1. A slider 702 is slidingly connected in the sliding groove 701. The slider 702 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 4022. The slider 702 can slide in the sliding groove 701, thereby reducing the resistance encountered by the limit plate 4022 when moving, so as to reduce noise.

[0036] Working principle: First, the mechanism is fixed to the floor plate through the first bearing seat 9, the second bearing seat 8 and the rotary drive device 2. At this time, the opening of the steamer 3 is facing upward, and the linear drive device 401 drives the limit component 402 to extend out of the supporting plate 1, so that the limit component 402 contacts the floor plate, thereby preventing the supporting plate 1 from rotating, and limiting the supporting plate 1, so that the supporting plate 1 does not need to be fixed through the cooperation of the servo motor and the brake, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring braking performance. When the material in the steamer 3 needs to be unloaded, the linear drive device 401 drives the limit component 402 to reset, and then, the rotary drive device 2 drives the supporting plate 1 to rotate 180 degrees through the rotating shaft 5, so that the material in the steamer 3 falls into the material transport cart to complete the unloading operation.

[0037] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention.
