Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steel strip cleaning technology, and more specifically it relates to a steel strip surface cleaning device for cake production. Background Technology
[0002] Cheesecake, also known as cheese cake, is a traditional Western dessert originating in ancient Greece. Its main ingredients include cream cheese, digestive biscuits, and melted butter. The process typically involves using a sponge cake or pie crust as a base, pouring a processed cheese mixture on top, and then baking and decorating.
[0003] In the production process of cheesecake production lines, steel belt conveyors are typically used for transporting cheesecakes. After the cheesecakes are transported, residual cheesecake residue will remain on the steel belt. It is necessary to assign an employee to clean the residue from the surface of the steel belt at irregular intervals. Failure to clean it will affect the subsequent use of the steel belt and increase the company's labor costs. Therefore, a steel belt surface cleaning device for cake production is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steel strip surface cleaning device for cake production, which has the advantage of conveniently cleaning the surface of the steel strip.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A steel strip surface cleaning device for cake production includes a collection box located on the lower surface of the steel strip. Two sets of cleaning components are installed in the collection box. Each cleaning component includes a roller brush rotatably mounted on the collection box. The roller brush is located on the lower surface of the steel strip and in contact with the steel strip. A servo motor is installed on one side wall of the collection box. A gearbox is installed at the output end of the servo motor. The output end of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the roller brush.
[0007] A shielding assembly for preventing residue from flying around is installed at one end of the collection box. The shielding assembly includes a mounting rod installed inside the collection box, and a baffle is mounted on the mounting rod by a locking member.
[0008] The advantages of this scheme are at least as follows: when the steel belt transports the cake to the designated position and continues to work, the servo motor is activated. The servo motor, through the gearbox, drives the roller brush located below the steel belt to rotate, thereby cleaning the surface of the steel belt. The cleaning component near the shielding component performs a preliminary cleaning of the steel belt surface, and the baffle can prevent the residue on the steel belt surface from flying around during the preliminary cleaning. The cleaning component away from the shielding component can clean the steel belt again, thus ensuring that all residue on the steel belt surface is removed.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: an installation groove is provided on the installation rod, a plurality of installation columns are fixed in the installation groove, a pressure plate is hinged to the groove opening of the installation groove, a through hole is provided on the pressure plate for the installation columns to pass through, a baffle is fitted on the installation column, and a locking element is threadedly connected to the installation column.
[0010] The advantages of this scheme are at least as follows: when installing the baffle, the locking piece is unscrewed from the mounting post, the baffle is fitted onto the mounting post, the pressing plate is pressed tightly against the side wall of the baffle, and the mounting post is passed through the through hole. The baffle is then fixed to the mounting plate by the locking piece. This installation method facilitates the subsequent replacement and maintenance of the baffle.
[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the locking component is a dovetail nut.
[0012] The advantage of this solution is at least that when maintenance personnel are disassembling and repairing the baffle without carrying tools, the dovetail nut can be unscrewed from the fixing post by hand, allowing the baffle to be replaced without the aid of tools.
[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: protrusions are provided in both the mounting groove and the pressing plate, the protrusions are hemispherical, and the protrusions in the mounting groove and the pressing plate are staggered.
[0014] The advantage of this scheme is at least that the staggered protrusions in the mounting groove and on the pressing plate can make the baffle more securely installed in the mounting groove.
[0015] The present invention is further configured such that: a groove is provided on the collection box, a collection box is slidably installed in the groove, a handle is provided at one end of the collection box, and a flexible component is installed on the handle.
[0016] The advantages of this solution are at least as follows: when the production line needs to be cleaned during shift changes, the collection box can be pulled out from the groove on the collection bin by pulling the handle, so that the residue inside the collection box can be cleaned. This avoids the situation where the entire collection box needs to be pulled out from under the steel belt for cleaning. The flexible parts can increase the grip comfort of the cleaning staff and also prevent the hand from slipping.
[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: universal wheels are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the collection box, and two support legs are also provided at the bottom of the collection box.
[0018] The advantages of this design are at least as follows: the casters facilitate the movement of the entire collection box, and the support legs increase the overall support strength of the collection box.
[0019] The present invention is further configured such that the baffle is a food-grade silicone sheet with a certain thickness.
[0020] The advantages of this solution are at least as follows: the baffle is made of food-grade silicone sheet, which is heat-resistant, can come into contact with food, and is not easily corroded by grease.
[0021] In summary, this utility model has at least the following advantages:
[0022] 1. By setting up cleaning components and shielding components, when the steel belt transports the cake to the designated position and continues to work, the servo motor is started. The servo motor drives the roller brush located below the steel belt to rotate after the gearbox changes speed, thereby cleaning the surface of the steel belt. The cleaning component near the shielding component performs a preliminary cleaning of the steel belt surface, while the baffle can prevent the residue on the steel belt surface from flying around during the preliminary cleaning. The cleaning component away from the shielding component can clean the steel belt again, thereby ensuring that all the residue on the steel belt surface is removed.
[0023] 2. By setting hemispherical protrusions, the protrusions in the mounting groove and the pressure plate are staggered to make the baffle more firmly installed in the mounting groove; the universal wheels make it easy to move the entire collection box, and the support legs increase the overall support strength of the collection box.
[0024] 3. By setting grooves and collection boxes, when the production line needs to be cleaned during shift changes, the collection box can be pulled out from the groove on the collection box by pulling the handle, so that the residue in the collection box can be cleaned. This avoids the situation where the entire collection box needs to be pulled out from under the steel belt for cleaning. The flexible parts can increase the grip comfort of the cleaning staff and also prevent the hand from slipping. Attached Figure Description
