Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pastry production, and in particular to a lifting component for pastry production. Background Technology

[0002] After the ingredients for pastries are mixed evenly to form dough, multiple doughs need to be placed on trays, and then the trays are placed in a large oven for baking. Hot air is generated in the oven to ensure that all the dough surfaces are heated evenly, and only after baking can the final pastry product be formed. Traditionally, trays are moved into the oven and stacked by personnel. This not only requires personnel to walk back and forth, but also results in high labor costs because the residual temperature in the oven is still high, and personnel entering the oven are also affected by the high temperature, which is not conducive to long-term work. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lifting component for pastry production, which can automatically arrange trays containing pastries from high to low in the box, saving labor costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a lifting component for pastry production, including a box body, with a tray inlet and a tray outlet on both sides of the lower part of the box body; the box body is equipped with a vertically arranged annular chain conveyor device, which includes an annular chain, and multiple hanging baskets for placing trays are arranged on the annular chain along its conveying direction, with the upper part of the hanging baskets rotatably connected to the annular chain through a rotating shaft.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the suspended basket includes a support plate and a connecting frame. The two sides of the support plate are connected to the lower end of the connecting frame, and a pallet transverse movement channel is left between the support plate and the connecting frame. The rotating shaft is set on the upper part of the connecting frame.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the pallet inlet and the pallet outlet are staggered along the conveying direction of the annular chain.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feeding conveyor belt and a first pallet pushing mechanism are provided on the outside of the pallet inlet, with the feeding conveyor belt located between the pallet inlet and the first pallet pushing mechanism; a discharging conveyor belt is provided on the outside of the pallet outlet, and a second pallet pushing mechanism is provided on the box body, with the box body located between the pallet outlet and the second pallet pushing mechanism.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the first pallet pushing mechanism includes a first telescopic drive mechanism and a first push plate connected together, with the first push plate facing the pallet inlet; the second pallet pushing mechanism includes a second telescopic drive mechanism and a second push plate connected together, with the second push plate facing the pallet outlet.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a first support roller is provided at both the pallet inlet and the pallet outlet. The highest point of the first support roller at the pallet inlet is slightly higher than the feeding conveyor belt, and the highest point of the first support roller at the pallet outlet is slightly higher than the discharging conveyor belt.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower part of the inner cavity of the box is provided with multiple horizontally arranged second support rollers for supporting the basket.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the lifting component for pastry production of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. After the trays containing pastries are moved into the chamber through the tray inlet, they are supported by hanging baskets. The movement of a circular chain ensures that the baskets supporting the trays are evenly distributed throughout the chamber for baking. After baking, the circular chain moves the baskets containing the trays to the tray outlet side, and the trays are removed from the outlet. During operation, personnel do not need to enter the chamber, resulting in low labor intensity and reduced labor costs.

[0014] 2. A pallet lateral movement channel is provided between the support plate and the connecting frame of the suspended platform, allowing the pallet to be moved in or out from both sides of the support plate.

[0015] 3. The tray inlet and tray outlet are staggered along the conveying direction of the circular chain. When the basket unloads the baked tray from the tray outlet and moves to the tray inlet side, it can be reloaded with a new tray, which improves the production continuity between adjacent batches of pastries.

[0016] 4. The pallet is moved in and out by a pallet pushing mechanism, and the pallet is transported by a conveyor belt, which further saves labor costs.

[0017] 5. When the pallet passes through the pallet inlet and pallet outlet, the supporting action of the first support roller effectively reduces the risk of the pallet tipping over.

[0018] 6. When the suspended platform moves to the pallet inlet or pallet outlet side, the second support roller supports the suspended platform, preventing large-scale shaking and ensuring that the pallet can be smoothly moved into or out of the suspended platform.

[0025] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a lifting assembly for pastry production includes a housing 1, with a tray inlet 11 and a tray outlet 12 on both sides of the lower part of the housing 1. A vertically arranged annular chain conveyor 2 is installed inside the housing 1. The annular chain conveyor 2 includes an annular chain 21, with multiple baskets 3 for placing trays 9 arranged along its conveying direction on the annular chain 21. The upper part of the baskets 3 is rotatably connected to the annular chain 21 via a rotating shaft 30. The annular chain conveyor 2 also includes multiple sprockets 22, which are rotatably connected to the housing 1. One of the sprockets 22 is electrically driven by a motor (not shown in the figure), which is mounted on the housing 1. By increasing the length of the annular chain 21 by arranging it in an S-shape within the housing 1, the number of baskets 3 that can be stored simultaneously within the housing 1 can be increased, thereby allowing for a greater number of pastries to be baked simultaneously within the housing 1 and increasing production capacity.

[0028] The suspended platform 3 includes a support plate 31 and a connecting frame 32. The support plate 31 is connected to the lower end of the connecting frame 32 on both sides, and a pallet transverse movement channel 33 is provided between the support plate 31 and the connecting frame 32. A pivot 30 is located on the upper part of the connecting frame 32. To reduce the swaying of the suspended platform 3 on the annular chains 21, two parallel annular chains 21 are used. The suspended platform 3 is rotatably connected between the two annular chains 21, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, this method can also avoid interference between the basket 3 and the ring chain 21 when the basket 3 rotates relative to the ring chain 21.

[0029] The pallet inlet 11 and the pallet outlet 12 are staggered along the conveying direction of the annular chain 21, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, when the basket 3 has just unloaded the baked tray 9 from the tray outlet 12 and moved to the left to the side of the tray inlet 11, it can be reloaded with a new tray 9, which improves the production continuity between adjacent batches of pastries.

[0030] A feeding conveyor belt 7 and a first pallet pushing mechanism 4 are provided on the outside of the pallet inlet 11, with the feeding conveyor belt 7 located between the pallet inlet 11 and the first pallet pushing mechanism 4. A discharging conveyor belt 8 is provided on the outside of the pallet outlet 12, and a second pallet pushing mechanism 5 is provided on the box body 1, with the box body 1 located between the pallet outlet 12 and the second pallet pushing mechanism 5.

[0031] The first pallet pushing mechanism 4 includes a first telescopic drive mechanism 41 and a first push plate 42 connected together, with the first push plate 42 facing the pallet inlet 11. The second pallet pushing mechanism 5 includes a second telescopic drive mechanism 51 and a second push plate 52 connected together, with the second push plate 52 facing the pallet outlet 12. The telescopic drive mechanism can be a hydraulic cylinder or a linear motor.

[0032] Both the pallet inlet 11 and the pallet outlet 12 are equipped with first support rollers 6. The highest point of the first support roller 6 at the pallet inlet 11 is slightly higher than the feeding conveyor belt 7, and the highest point of the first support roller 6 at the pallet outlet 12 is slightly higher than the discharging conveyor belt 8. The upper surface of the support plate 31 of the basket 3, which moves to the side of the pallet inlet 11 or the pallet outlet 12, is also slightly lower than the highest point of the first support roller 6. This allows the first support roller 6 to support the pallet 9 when it passes over it, preventing the pallet 9 from tilting and ensuring that the pallet 9 can move smoothly between the conveyor belt and the basket 3, avoiding the problem of the lower edge of the pallet being blocked by the basket 3 or the conveyor belt.

[0033] The lower part of the inner cavity of the box body 1 is provided with multiple horizontally arranged second support rollers 10 for supporting the basket 3.

[0034] In use, multiple trays 9 loaded with pastry blanks are sequentially moved to the tray inlet 11 side of the housing 1 via the feeding conveyor belt 7. The trays 9 are pushed into the tray inlet 11 by the first push plate 42 of the first tray pushing mechanism 4 and fall onto the support plate 31 of the passing basket 3. The baskets 3 containing the trays 9 are arranged inside the housing 1 for baking under the drive of the annular chain 21. After baking, the annular chain 21 restarts, moving the baskets 3 containing the trays 9 sequentially to the tray outlet 12 side. The second push plate 52 of the second tray pushing mechanism 5 pushes the trays 9 out from one side of the basket 3, and the trays 9 pass through the tray outlet 12 and fall onto the discharge conveyor belt 8. During this process, personnel do not need to enter the housing 1, resulting in low labor intensity and reducing labor costs.

[0035] The present invention has been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations made in accordance with the essence of the present invention.
