Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of product packaging technology, and in particular relates to a dirt-proof water receiving tray mechanism and conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] For meat processing activities with incompletely continuous production processes, conveyor lines are crucial transportation tools. Types of conveyor lines include, but are not limited to, mesh belt conveyors, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, and roller conveyors. During transport, there is a risk of food contamination from the conveyor equipment itself and the food below. For example, mesh belt conveyors generate debris due to wear and tear caused by their structure and materials. Meat products in the transfer baskets within the conveyor line will also produce meat scraps. Therefore, these debris or meat scraps can contaminate the products below the conveyor line.

[0003] In other fields, waste collection trays are installed below conveyor lines. However, these trays are often complex to install, difficult to disassemble, and their height cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. Therefore, solving these problems has become a key challenge in the field of technology. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a dirt-proof water receiving tray mechanism, which solves the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, one aspect of this utility model discloses a dirt-proof water receiving tray mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A frame, on which a rotatable and height-adjustable bracket is provided, on which a water receiving tray body is placed;

[0007] The water receiving tray body, and multiple water receiving tray bodies are assembled in a segmented splicing manner to enable segmented installation and disassembly.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, this application offers the following advantages: During operation, the bracket is first installed on the frame. The height of the water tray body can be adjusted using the bracket's height-adjustable design to meet actual production needs. The bracket's rotatable design allows the water tray body to be placed on the bracket when it rotates closer to the frame, as the distance between the brackets on both sides of the conveyor line is less than the width of the water tray body. Conversely, when the bracket rotates away from the frame, the distance between the brackets on both sides of the conveyor line is greater than the width of the water tray body, allowing it to be removed from the bracket. Furthermore, the segmented assembly method of the water tray body facilitates its installation and disassembly. Therefore, this application reduces the food safety risk caused by foreign objects falling onto the conveyor line, while also providing convenient disassembly, cleaning, and height adjustment for the water tray body.

[0009] Furthermore, the water receiving tray body is made of bent plastic material.

[0010] Furthermore, the water receiving tray body is bent into a groove structure, and adjacent water receiving tray bodies are snap-fitted together.

[0011] Furthermore, the bracket includes a bent plate, a bolt, and a nut. The bent plate is connected to the nut and is used to support the water receiving tray body. The nut is threadedly connected to the bolt so that the height and orientation of the bent plate can be adjusted when the nut moves on the bolt.

[0012] Furthermore, the bending plate adopts a semi-circular structure, so that the water receiving tray body can be disassembled and assembled when the bending plate is rotated half a turn.

[0013] Furthermore, the bolt is detachably connected to the frame via a connecting plate.

[0014] Another aspect of this application discloses a conveyor line including the aforementioned anti-fouling and water-receiving tray mechanism, which is disposed below the conveyor line for collecting dirt that falls onto the conveyor line.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveyor line is a mesh belt conveyor line. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, one aspect of this utility model discloses a dirt-proof water receiving tray mechanism, comprising:

[0025] The frame 1 is equipped with a rotatable and height-adjustable support 2, and the water receiving tray body 3 is placed on the support 2.

[0026] The water receiving tray body 3, and multiple water receiving tray bodies 3 are assembled in a segmented splicing manner to enable segmented installation and disassembly.

[0027] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: During operation, the bracket 2 is first installed on the frame 1. The height of the water tray body 3 can be adjusted by the height-adjustable design of the bracket 2 to meet the actual production needs. Due to the rotatable design of the bracket 2, when the bracket 2 rotates closer to the frame 1, the distance between the brackets 2 on both sides of the conveyor line 4 is less than the width of the water tray body 3, allowing the water tray body 3 to be placed on the bracket 2. Conversely, when the bracket 2 rotates away from the frame 1, the distance between the brackets 2 on both sides of the conveyor line 4 is greater than the width of the water tray body 3, allowing the water tray body 3 to be removed from the bracket 2. Furthermore, the segmented assembly method of the water tray body 3 facilitates the segmented installation and disassembly of the water tray body 3. Therefore, this application reduces the food safety risk caused by foreign objects falling onto the conveyor line 4, while the water tray body 3 is easy to disassemble, clean, and has an adjustable height.

[0028] Following the above embodiments, a more preferable embodiment is that the water tray body 3 is made of bent plastic material. The plastic material can be food-grade PVC, PE, PP, PC, etc., which is lighter, lower in cost, and easier to disassemble and clean than traditional 304 stainless steel.

[0029] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, the water receiving tray body 3 is bent into a groove structure, and adjacent water receiving tray bodies 3 are snap-fitted together. This design not only has low manufacturing cost, but also makes installation and disassembly more convenient by being carried out in sections.

[0030] Following the above embodiments, more specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the bracket 2 includes a bent plate 5, a bolt 6 and a nut 7. The bent plate 5 is connected to the nut 7. The bent plate 5 is used to support the water receiving tray body 3. The nut 7 is threadedly connected to the bolt 6 so that when the nut 7 moves on the bolt 6, the height and orientation of the bent plate 5 can be adjusted.

[0031] By rotating the nut 7 on the bolt 6, its height can be adjusted, further adjusting the height of the bending plate 5. This, in turn, adjusts the height of the water receiving tray body 3, ensuring the distance between the water receiving tray body 3 and the conveyor line 4 meets requirements, preventing the mesh belt and other structures from being too close or too far from the water receiving tray body 3. After the distance is adjusted, rotating the nut 7 will cause the bending plate 5 to rotate as well. When the bending plate 5 faces the water receiving tray body 3, its bottom will be close to the conveyor line 4, thus supporting the water receiving tray body 3 and securing it. Conversely, when the bending plate 5 is away from the water receiving tray body 3, its bottom will be far from the conveyor line 4, thus failing to support the water receiving tray body 3, making it easier to remove the water receiving tray body 3.

[0032] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the bending plate 5 adopts a semi-circular structure, so that the water tray body 3 can be disassembled and assembled by rotating the bending plate 5 half a turn. The semi-circular structure, while ensuring sufficient contact area with the water tray body 3, allows the bending plate 5 to be removed from the water tray body 3 by simply rotating it half a turn. It should be noted that, compared to a square structure, the semi-circular bending plate 5 makes it easier to achieve contact or detachment from the water tray body 3. Furthermore, during use, if the water tray body 3 accidentally detaches from the bending plate 5, rotating the bending plate 5 half a turn will cause it to be jammed by the water tray body 3, preventing further rotation and effectively preventing the nut 7 from falling off the bolt 6 due to vibration or other external factors.

[0033] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the bolt 6 is detachably connected to the frame 1 via the connecting plate 8.

[0034] Another aspect of this application discloses a conveyor line including the aforementioned anti-fouling water collection tray mechanism, which is disposed below the conveyor line 4 for collecting dirt that falls onto the conveyor line 4.

[0035] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the conveyor line 4 is a mesh belt conveyor line. The types of conveyor line 4 include, but are not limited to, mesh belt conveyors, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, and roller conveyors.

[0036] In summary, this application has advantages such as light weight, low cost, and easier disassembly and cleaning.

[0037] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
