Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, specifically for a two -stage demolding device for hot pot material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hot pot material is an essential condiment when making hot pot, which determines the taste and flavor of hot pot. Hot pot material is usually mixed by various spices, seasonings and oil, which has rich aroma and rich taste.

[0003] During the production process of hot pot material, it needs to be fried and packed into a mold for cooling and solidification, so that it forms a small square shape, which is convenient for subsequent bagging. The hot pot material after cooling and solidification needs to be demolded. Special demolding equipment is used during demolding, such as the prior art "a demolding device for hot pot material mold" (publication number: CN219353027U), which puts the mold into the feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism brings it into the conveying mechanism. Under the action of the conveying mechanism, the mold comes below the first mold pressing mechanism, the first mold pressing mechanism separates the hot pot material from the side wall of the mold, then the mold comes to the mold turnover mechanism through the conveying mechanism, the mold is turned over and transferred to the buffer conveying mechanism, then the second mold pressing mechanism separates the hot pot material from the bottom of the mold, finally the mold comes to the end of the buffer conveying mechanism, the hot pot material falls on the discharge conveying mechanism, and the mold falls on the mold discharge conveying mechanism, realizing automatic separation of the mold and the hot pot material, saving time and physical strength of the staff. However, the prior art still has the following technical problems:

[0004] Due to the sticky nature of hot pot material, sometimes the hot pot material cannot be successfully demolded. The existing technology cannot detect and intercept the mold that has not been successfully demolded, so that the hot pot material that has not been successfully demolded is easy to remain in the mold and directly enter the cleaning liquid in the subsequent cleaning area, thereby causing waste of hot pot material. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The utility model provides a two -stage demolding device for hot pot material can solve the problem that the demolding equipment in the prior art cannot detect and intercept the mold that has not been successfully demolded, so that the hot pot material flows into the cleaning area with the mold and causes waste of hot pot material.

[0006] The application provides the following technical scheme: a two -stage demolding device for hot pot material, comprising a main conveying line and a vice conveying line in communication with the main conveying line;

[0007] The main conveying line is provided with a transfer mechanism, and the vice conveying line is provided with a secondary demolding mechanism;

[0008] The transfer mechanism comprises two support frames arranged oppositely, a detection mechanism fixed between the support frames, a pushing mechanism fixed on the support frames, a positioning mechanism arranged on both sides of the pushing mechanism, and an intercepting mechanism fixed on the support frames.

[0009] Beneficial effects:

[0010] The production efficiency is improved, and the manpower is saved. After the mold is demolded for the first time, the mold enters the transfer mechanism along the main conveying line. The positioning mechanism is first used to position the position of the mold on the detection mechanism, so as to improve the accuracy of the mold recognized by the detection mechanism. Meanwhile, the intercepting mechanism can prevent the mold from moving away from the detection mechanism. Then, the detection mechanism is used to recognize the mold. If the mold is successfully demolded, the mold is continuously transported along the main conveying line. If the mold is not demolded, the mold is pushed to the secondary conveying line by the pushing mechanism, and the mold is demolded again by the secondary demolding mechanism. The device can automatically screen and demold the mold again, effectively avoid waste caused by the incomplete demolding of the hot pot seasoning, save the labor cost and processing cost, and improve the production efficiency.

[0011] Further, the detection mechanism comprises a detection table fixed between the two support frames, and a weighing sensor fixed below the detection table.

[0012] Beneficial effects: After the mold is conveyed to the detection table, the weighing sensor can detect the weight of the mold on the detection table. The weight of the mold that is not demolded completely is greater than the weight of the empty mold, so that the mold that is not demolded can be screened out for secondary processing.

[0013] Further, the pushing mechanism comprises a pushing cylinder fixed on the support frame and a pushing plate fixed on the end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder. The axial movement direction of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveying line.

[0014] Beneficial effects: When the detection mechanism finds the mold that is not successfully demolded, the pushing plate driven by the pushing cylinder pushes the mold from the main conveying line to the secondary conveying line, so as to facilitate the mold to be demolded again on the secondary conveying line.

[0015] Further, the positioning mechanism comprises a first proximity switch fixed on the support frame, and the first proximity switch is arranged on both sides of the pushing cylinder.

[0016] Beneficial effects: When the mold is conveyed to the detection table, the first proximity switch can detect the positions of the front end and the tail end of the mold respectively, so as to determine whether the mold is moved in place, and facilitate the detection mechanism to weigh the mold.

[0017] Further, the intercepting mechanism comprises a stop rod symmetrically fixed on the support frame along the middle of the main conveying line, a rotary air cylinder fixed on the support frame, and the end of the stop rod is fixed with the rotating shaft of the rotary air cylinder.

[0018] Beneficial effects: when the stop rods on the two support frames are in the same line, the mold can be intercepted and prevented from sliding off the detection table; at the same time, when the push plate pushes the mold, the mold can also be provided with side support, so that the mold is pushed along the side of the stop rod, preventing the mold from being pushed askew and improving the pushing stability.

[0019] Further, the secondary demolding mechanism comprises a gantry arranged across the auxiliary conveying line, a micro air cylinder fixed on the gantry, an installation table symmetrically arranged below the gantry along the middle of the auxiliary conveying line, and a second proximity switch fixed on the installation table; the opposite side of each installation table is also provided with a conveying belt, and the bottom between the installation tables is provided with a storage barrel.

[0020] Beneficial effects: the mold that has not been successfully demolded is sent to the conveying belt along the auxiliary conveying line, the second proximity switch senses the front end and the rear end of the mold respectively, and then the conveying belt stops; at this time, the piston rod of the micro air cylinder on the gantry is pushed downward and towards the upper surface of the mold, so that the hot pot bottom material in the mold is separated and falls into the storage barrel between the two installation tables, completing the secondary demolding of the mold; since the mold has been demolded once on the main conveying line, most of the contact surface of the hot pot bottom material has been separated from the mold, and only because of the adhesion, the hot pot bottom material has not been completely separated from the mold, so the piston rod of the micro air cylinder is slightly pushed towards the upper surface of the mold, relying on the vibration of the mold after being stressed to demold the hot pot bottom material.

After the mold 2 is conveyed to the detection platform 8, the weighing sensor can detect the weight of the mold 2 on the detection platform 8. The weight of the mold 2 that has not been demolded is greater than the weight of the empty mold 2, so that the mold 2 that has not been demolded can be screened out.

[0032] The pushing mechanism includes a pushing cylinder 4 fixed on the support frame 3 and a pushing plate 5 fixed on the end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 4. The axial movement direction of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 4 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveyor line 1; when the detection mechanism finds that the mold 2 has not been successfully demolded, the pushing cylinder 4 can drive the pushing plate 5 to push the mold 2 from the main conveyor line 1 to the straight section conveyor line 11, so as to facilitate the secondary demolding of the mold 2 on the arc section conveyor line 13.

[0033] The positioning mechanism includes a first proximity switch 31 fixed on the support frame 3. There are two first proximity switches 31, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the pushing cylinder 4. When the mold 2 is transported to the detection table 8, the two first proximity switches 31 can respectively detect the positions of the front end and the tail end of the mold 2, so as to determine whether the mold 2 has moved into place, which is convenient for the detection mechanism to weigh the mold 2.

[0034] The intercepting mechanism comprises a blocking rod 6 symmetrically fixed in the middle of the main conveying line 1 on two support frames 3, the support frames 3 are fixed with rotary air cylinders, the end of the blocking rod 6 is fixed with the rotating shaft of the rotary air cylinder, the rotary air cylinder can drive the blocking rod 6 to rotate 90°, when the blocking rod 6 rotates to the same straight line, the mold 2 can be intercepted and prevented from sliding off the detection table 8, when the blocking rod 6 rotates to be parallel to the main conveying line 1, the mold 2 can continue to be conveyed along the main conveying line 1.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the secondary demolding mechanism comprises a portal frame 10 arranged across the auxiliary conveying line, a micro air cylinder 9 fixed on the portal frame 10, a mounting table 14 symmetrically arranged below the portal frame 10 in the middle of the auxiliary conveying line, and a second proximity switch 12 fixed on the mounting table 14; each mounting table 14 is separately provided with a conveying belt 141, each conveying belt 141 is driven by a separate motor, and the two conveying belts 141 rotate synchronously, and a receiving barrel (omitted in Figure 4 ) is arranged between the two conveying belts 141; the second proximity switch 12 is provided with two, located at both ends of one of the mounting tables 14, the mold 2 is sent from the straight section conveying line 11 to the conveying belt 141, so that the two ends of the mold 2 are arranged on the conveying belt 141, and the cavity of the mold 2 is between the two conveying belts 141, so that the piston rod of the micro motor on the portal frame 10 can be pushed downward and towards the upper surface of the mold 2, so as to push the hot pot bottom material in the mold 2 into the receiving barrel between the two conveying belts 141.

[0036] In Figure 1 , the main conveying line 1 on the left side is also provided with a third proximity switch 7, and the device is also provided with a PLC controller, the PLC controller is electrically connected with the first proximity switch 31, the second proximity switch 12, the third proximity switch 7, the push air cylinder 4, the rotary air cylinder, the micro air cylinder 9, and all the drive motors for controlling the actions of the main conveying line 1 and the auxiliary conveying line.

[0037] The use method of the device is as follows:

[0038] The mold 2 on the main conveying line 1 is conveyed in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1 , at this time, the mold 2 has been demolded once in the previous process, first, the blocking rod 6 remains in the blocking state, when the mold 2 enters the detection table 8 from the main conveying line 1, the two first proximity switches 31 detect the positions of the front end and the tail end of the mold 2 respectively, after the two first proximity switches 31 both sense the signals, the controller controls Figure 1The main conveyor line 1 on the right side of the middle inspection table 8 stops conveying to prevent the subsequent mold 2 from pushing the mold 2 on the inspection table 8. At the same time, the stop bar 6 is in a blocking state, restricting the mold 2 on the inspection table 8; then, the weighing sensor will determine the weight of the mold 2 on the inspection table 8:

[0039] If the weight of the mold 2 is close to the weight of the empty mold, it is recognized as a mold that has been successfully demoulded. The controller controls the rotary cylinder to rotate, driving the gear lever 6 to rotate in a direction parallel to the main conveyor line 1. Figure 1 The main conveyor line 1 on the right side continues to convey, and the subsequent mold 2 will push the mold 2 on the detection table 8, and push the mold 2 on the detection table 8 to Figure 1 On the main conveyor line 1 on the left side, when the third proximity switch 7 senses a signal, the tail end of the mold 2 just leaves the detection table 8, and the controller will control Figure 1 The main conveyor line 1 on the middle right stops running, and then the rotating cylinder drives the gear lever 6 back to the relative position and becomes a blocking state again, and the weighing sensor performs the next identification detection.

[0040] If the weight of the mold 2 exceeds the weight of the empty mold, it is identified as an undemolded mold. The controller controls the push cylinder 4 to drive the push plate 5 to push the mold 2 onto the straight conveyor line 11, and then the straight conveyor line 11 sends the mold 2 to the conveyor belt 141. When the second proximity switch 12 senses a signal, the mold 2 is in the most suitable position on the conveyor belt 141, and the conveyor belt 141 and the straight conveyor line 11 stop running to prevent the mold 2 on the straight conveyor line 11 from pushing the mold 2 on the conveyor belt 141. At the same time, the piston rod of the micro cylinder 9 pushes downward against the upper surface of the mold 2. The vibration of the mold 2 after the force causes the hot pot base to separate from the mold 2 and fall into the storage bucket between the conveyor belts 141 below; then the conveyor belt 141 and the straight conveyor line 11 continue to run, and the mold 2 after the secondary demolding is sent to the arc conveyor line 13, and re-joins the main conveyor line 1 along the direction of the arrow to enter the subsequent cleaning process, thereby completing the secondary demolding of the mold.
