Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment, and in particular to a conveying device for bread production. Background Technology
[0002] Bread is a very common food, mainly made from basic ingredients such as flour, water, yeast, and salt. After mixing these ingredients and going through processes such as fermentation, shaping, and baking, the dough will expand and become a soft and elastic food. Bread production often requires the use of conveying equipment to transport bread to multiple processing or handling stages. For example, bread can be transported to quality inspection equipment, to boxing and palletizing, or to weighing platforms and labeling machines for further processing.
[0003] Among existing bread conveying equipment, belt conveyors are one type. When conveying bread via belt conveyors, the bread is usually directly fed onto the conveyor belt. However, in order to improve the efficiency of feeding the bread, it is difficult for workers to arrange the bread neatly. This can easily lead to the bread being messy and disorderly on the conveyor, which can affect subsequent bread processing. At the same time, existing belt conveyors usually transport bread in a single row. If multiple rows of bread need to be transported, it may be necessary to increase the number of workers, thus increasing costs. Furthermore, the bread transported in a single row is more compact, which can easily increase the workload of subsequent workers and reduce the practicality of the conveying equipment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a conveying device for bread production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a conveying device for bread production, comprising a support frame, a motor mounted on the side surface of the support frame, a transmission roller rotatably mounted at each of the left and right ends of the inner side of the support frame, the two transmission rollers being connected by a conveyor belt, wherein the front transmission roller is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor, a fixed frame is mounted at the top rear end of the support frame, a connecting frame is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the fixed frame, a cylinder is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame, a crank is rotatably mounted on the piston rod at the front end of the cylinder, and an air pipe is inserted into the air inlet and air outlet of the cylinder, a transmission rod is mounted at the bottom end of the crank away from the cylinder, the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the transmission rod moves through the fixed frame and connects to the adjustment plate in the middle of the inner side of the fixed frame;
[0006] An infrared sensor connected to the top of the inner side of the fixed frame is provided at the rear upper part of the adjustment plate, and a guide frame for guiding and conveying bread is provided at the front end of the adjustment plate.
[0007] Preferably, a guide plate is installed at each of the left and right ends of the inner rear end of the fixed frame. The two guide plates retract inward from back to front, and the guide plates are located behind the infrared sensor. The bottom end of the guide plate is higher than the top end of the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed on the trachea, which is used to control the flow of gas in the trachea.
[0009] Preferably, the guide frame includes three partitions installed at the front end of the fixed frame. The three partitions enclose two partitions of the same size above the conveyor belt, and two guide plates are installed at the rear end of the hollow partitions, with the two guide plates extending into the two partitions respectively.
[0010] Preferably, the guide plate extends outward from back to front, and the left and right guide plates are respectively spaced from the side surfaces of the partitions at the left and right ends.
[0011] Preferably, the adjusting plate, the partition plate, and the guide plate are all spaced apart from the top surface of the conveyor belt.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention incorporates an infrared sensor and an adjustment plate. The infrared sensor detects bread being transported from the conveyor belt into a fixed frame. A control cylinder then rotates a crank, which in turn rotates the adjustment plate via a transmission rod. When the rear end of the adjustment plate rotates to the right inner side of the fixed frame, it guides the bread to the left end of the conveyor belt. Conversely, when another loaf of bread is detected, it is guided to the right end of the conveyor belt. This cycle divides the bread on the conveyor belt into two rows, making the transported bread more orderly and facilitating subsequent processing. Furthermore, dividing one row of bread into two neat rows reduces the need for concentrated transport, allowing workers to process each row individually more easily, reducing workload and improving the practicality of the conveying equipment.

[0018] The components include: support frame-1, motor-2, transmission roller-3, conveyor belt-4, fixed frame-5, guide plate-6, connecting frame-7, cylinder-8, crank-9, transmission rod-10, adjusting plate-11, infrared sensor-12, partition plate-13, dividing groove-14, guide plate-15, air pipe-16, and solenoid valve-17. Detailed Implementation
[0019] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, a detailed description is provided below through specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a conveying device for bread production, including a support frame 1, a motor 2 installed at the front end of the outer side of the support frame 1, and a transmission roller 3 rotatably installed at each of the left and right ends of the top inner side of the support frame 1. The two transmission rollers 3 are connected by a conveyor belt 4. The front transmission roller 3 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor 2 so that the motor 2 drives the front transmission roller 3 to rotate, thereby realizing that the front transmission roller 3 drives the rear transmission roller 3 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor belt 4. When the conveyor belt 4 rotates, it drives the bread to be conveyed.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a fixed frame 5 is locked and fixed at the top rear end of the support frame 1, a connecting frame 7 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the fixed frame 5, and a cylinder 8 is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 7.
[0022] A crank 9 is rotatably mounted on the piston rod at the front end of the cylinder 8, and an air pipe 16 is inserted into the air inlet and outlet ends of the cylinder 8. A transmission rod 10 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the crank 9 away from the cylinder 8. The transmission rod 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 5. The transmission rod 10 can rotate horizontally on the fixed frame 5, and after the transmission rod 10 moves through the fixed frame 5, it is connected to the adjusting plate 11 in the middle of the inner side of the fixed frame 5, so as to realize that the adjusting plate 11 is driven to rotate synchronously within the fixed frame 5 through the transmission rod 10.
[0023] An infrared sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the fixed frame 5 at the rear upper part of the adjusting plate 11. The infrared sensor 12 is used to detect whether bread is being conveyed into the fixed frame 5 on the conveyor belt 4. A guide frame for guiding the conveying of bread is provided at the front end of the adjusting plate 11.
[0024] In this embodiment, a guide plate 6 is installed on each of the left and right ends of the inner rear end of the fixed frame 5. The two guide plates 6 contract inward from back to front, and the guide plates 6 are located behind the infrared sensor 12. The bottom surface of the guide plate 6 is higher than the top surface of the conveyor belt 4, which makes it easier to guide the messy bread in the conveyor belt 4 to the middle position of the conveyor belt 4 through the two guide plates 6, and then make it easier to adjust the bread into two columns later.
[0025] In this embodiment, a solenoid valve 17 is installed on the trachea 16. The solenoid valve 17 is used to control the flow of gas in the trachea 16.
[0026] In this embodiment, the guide frame includes three partitions 13 installed at the front end of the fixed frame 5. The three partitions 13 enclose two partitions 14 of the same size above the conveyor belt 4. The partitions 14 are used to convey bread. Two guide plates 15 are installed at the rear end of the hollow partitions 13 for guiding and adjusting the position of the bread. The two guide plates 15 extend into the two partitions 14 respectively.
[0027] Among them, the guide plate 15 extends outward from back to front, and the left and right guide plates 15 are respectively spaced with the side surfaces of the partitions 13 at the left and right ends, so that the bread can be guided and conveyed through the guide plate 15 to fit against the outer partition 13, so that the bread is closer to the outside of the conveyor, thus making it easier to pick up the bread in subsequent work.
[0028] The adjusting plate 11, the partition plate 13 and the guide plate 15 are all spaced apart from the top surface of the conveyor belt 4 to reduce the friction between the conveyor belt 4 and the adjusting plate 11, the partition plate 13 and the guide plate 15.
[0029] Specifically, the end of the air pipe 16 is connected to an external pneumatic device, and the motor 2, infrared sensor 12, and solenoid valve 17 in this device are connected to an external controller. The bread to be conveyed is placed at the rear end of the conveyor belt 4, and the external pneumatic device is controlled to deliver gas into the air pipe 16 to realize the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder 8. When the piston rod of the cylinder 8 extends and retracts, it drives the crank 9 to rotate. The crank 9 drives the adjusting plate 11 to swing left and right through the transmission rod 10, and starts the motor 2 to drive the transmission roller 3 and the conveyor belt 4 to rotate. When the conveyor belt 4 rotates, it drives the bread to be conveyed. When the bread is conveyed into the fixed frame 5, it is pushed to the left and right ends of the conveyor belt 4 by the adjusting plate 11, and then guided by the guide plate 15 to be conveyed into the corresponding dividing groove 14, so as to realize the bread being divided into two columns for conveying.
[0030] When more precise control of the quantity of bread in each column is required, the infrared sensor 12 can be activated. When the infrared sensor 12 detects bread input, the piston rod of the cylinder 8 is controlled to retract. The cylinder 8 drives the rear end of the adjusting plate 11 to swing to the left via the crank 9 and the transmission rod 10. The bread is guided by the adjusting plate 11 to move to the top right end near the conveyor belt 4. At this time, the bread is conveyed through the right-end dividing groove 14. When the infrared sensor 12 detects that the next bread is input into the fixed frame 5, the piston rod of the cylinder 8 is controlled to extend. The cylinder 8 drives the rear end of the adjusting plate 11 to swing to the right via the crank 9 and the transmission rod 10. The bread is guided by the adjusting plate 11 to move to the top left end near the conveyor belt 4. At this time, the bread is conveyed through the left-end dividing groove 14. This cycle is repeated to make the quantity of bread in the two columns more similar, thereby making the workload on both sides of the subsequent conveying equipment more similar.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
