Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, and in particular to a dough segmentation and lifting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In food production, such as bread and steamed buns, dough needs to be transferred, divided, and transported to subsequent workstations. However, the current processes of transferring, dividing, and transporting dough are generally done manually, which is cumbersome. Manual division requires handling the dough by hand, which can easily contaminate it. Furthermore, manual cutting is inefficient, increases production costs, and is not suitable for large-scale production, making it impractical. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a dough segmentation and lifting machine to solve the problems of low production efficiency, high production cost, and easy contamination of existing dough production methods.

[0004] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0005] A dough segmenting and lifting machine includes a material transfer and segmenting device and a lifting and conveying device. The lifting and conveying device includes a frame, a lifting and conveying component and a horizontal conveying component mounted on the frame. The material transfer and segmenting device includes a hopper trolley and a segmenting component mounted inside the hopper trolley. The hopper trolley is used to receive large pieces of dough and move them to dock with the input end of the horizontal conveying component so that the discharge port of the hopper trolley is above the input end of the horizontal conveying component. The segmenting component is used to cut the large pieces of dough in the hopper trolley into smaller pieces of dough. The horizontal conveying component is used to receive and convey the small pieces of dough falling from the hopper trolley. The output end of the horizontal conveying component is connected to the input end of the lifting and conveying component. The lifting and conveying component has a conveying gap for pressing the dough as it climbs.

[0006] Furthermore, the climbing conveyor assembly includes a climbing conveyor inclined upward and a pressing conveyor located above the climbing conveyor. The pressing conveyor and the climbing conveyor are arranged parallel to each other in the conveying direction. The pressing conveyor belt in the pressing conveyor and the climbing conveyor belt in the climbing conveyor are arranged opposite each other and a conveying gap is formed between them. The size of the conveying gap is adjustable.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a first adjusting screw and a second adjusting screw. One end of the first adjusting screw is detachably connected to one side of the climbing conveyor, and the other end of the first adjusting screw is threadedly connected to one side of the noodle pressing conveyor.

[0008] Furthermore, the horizontal conveying assembly includes a first conveyor frame, a second conveyor frame, a horizontal conveyor belt, and a horizontal conveying drive mechanism for driving the horizontal conveyor belt to rotate. The horizontal conveyor belt is simultaneously tensioned on the first and second conveyor frames. The first conveyor frame includes a horizontal conveying section and a ramp conveying section integrally connected to the horizontal conveying section. The discharge port of the hopper trolley can be moved above the horizontal conveying section. The ramp conveying section is inclined upward relative to the horizontal conveying section. The second conveyor frame is horizontally mounted on the frame. The output end of the ramp conveying section is rotatably connected to the input end of the second conveyor frame so that the first conveyor frame can rotate and fold relative to the second conveyor frame. The output end of the second conveyor frame is connected to the input end of the climbing conveying assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a lifting mechanism, the drive end of which is connected to the inclined conveying section of the first conveyor frame to drive the end of the first conveyor frame away from the second conveyor frame to rise or fall.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism on the frame and the hopper trolley are provided with a clamped part for clamping by the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes a base, a first clamping block and a second clamping block pivotally connected to the base, and an elastic element for connecting the first clamping block and the second clamping block. The elastic element is used to provide elastic recovery. The first clamping block and the second clamping block are arranged opposite to each other and their opposite sides are respectively formed with a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove. The first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are joined to form a clamping space for clamping the clamped part. The insertion ends of the first clamping block and the second clamping block are respectively provided with a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are combined to form a trumpet-shaped guide opening.

[0011] Furthermore, the segmentation assembly includes a cutting blade movably disposed at the discharge port of the hopper trolley and a segmentation drive mechanism for driving the cutting blade to reciprocate. The cutting blade is provided with an oblique cutting surface for cutting dough.

[0012] Furthermore, the climbing conveyor includes a climbing conveyor section and an extension conveyor section. The output end of the dough pressing conveyor is provided with a first scraper, which is located above the output end of the climbing conveyor section, and a second scraper is provided below the output end of the extension conveyor section.

[0013] Furthermore, the hopper trolley is equipped with an emergency stop switch and an emergency stop rope. The emergency stop rope is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley. When the emergency stop rope is pulled, it triggers the emergency stop switch. The emergency stop switch is electrically connected to a controller. When the controller receives an emergency stop signal from the emergency stop switch, it controls the equipment on the hopper trolley to stop operating.

[0014] Furthermore, the climbing conveyor includes a climbing conveyor frame, a climbing conveyor belt disposed on the climbing conveyor frame, and a climbing conveyor drive mechanism for driving the climbing conveyor belt to rotate. The climbing conveyor frame includes a main frame and a support rod assembly disposed on the upper surface of the main frame. The support rod assembly includes an inner support rod and outer support rods located on the left and right sides of the inner support rod. The extending directions of the inner and outer support rods are parallel to the conveying direction of the climbing conveyor belt. The lower end faces of the inner and outer support rods are on the same plane. The thickness of the inner support rod is less than the thickness of the outer support rod, so that the upper end faces of the inner and outer support rods are not at the same horizontal height.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include at least the following:

[0016] This invention uses a hopper trolley to receive large blocks of mixed dough. The hopper trolley then moves to dock with a horizontal conveyor assembly, positioning its discharge port above the input end of the assembly. A segmenting assembly then cuts the large dough blocks into smaller pieces, which automatically fall onto the horizontal conveyor assembly. The horizontal conveyor assembly then transfers these smaller pieces to a climbing conveyor assembly, which uses the gaps in the climbing conveyor assembly to clamp and transport them to subsequent workstations. This integrated operation of dough transfer, segmentation, and conveying eliminates the need for manual handling and segmentation, thus improving dough production efficiency. By installing a segmenting component inside the hopper trolley, the dough is cut into pieces. This ensures consistent dough size during cutting and prevents operator contact with the dough, thus avoiding contamination. The segmenting component periodically cuts large pieces of dough into smaller pieces, completing the cutting process directly on the hopper trolley. The hopper trolley's discharge port is located above the horizontal conveyor assembly, allowing the cut pieces to fall directly onto it, resulting in higher efficiency. The smaller pieces then move from the horizontal conveyor assembly to the climbing conveyor assembly. As the dough moves upward along the conveyor gaps, these gaps help to compress the dough, ensuring stable upward movement and preventing slippage during the ascent. This continuous dough delivery improves efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted.

[0036] The terms used to describe position and direction in this utility model are illustrated with the accompanying drawings, but changes can be made as needed, and all such changes are included within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 17As shown, this utility model provides a dough segmentation and lifting machine, including a material transfer and segmentation device 10 and a lifting and conveying device 20. The lifting and conveying device 20 includes a frame 21, a lifting and conveying component and a horizontal conveying component 25 disposed on the frame 21. The material transfer and segmentation device 10 includes a hopper trolley 11 and a segmentation component 12 disposed in the hopper trolley 11. The hopper trolley 11 is used to receive large pieces of dough and move them to dock with the input end of the horizontal conveying component 25 so that the discharge port 111 of the hopper trolley 11 is located above the input end of the horizontal conveying component 25. The segmentation component 12 is used to cut the large pieces of dough in the hopper trolley 11 into smaller pieces of dough. The horizontal conveying component 25 is used to receive and convey the small pieces of dough falling from the hopper trolley 11. The output end of the horizontal conveying component 25 is connected to the input end of the lifting and conveying component. The lifting and conveying component has a conveying gap 24 for pressing the dough and lifting it.

[0038] In this embodiment, the hopper trolley 11 has a feed inlet 110 and a discharge outlet 111 arranged in the direction of gravity. The hopper of the hopper trolley 11 is roughly a cone-shaped structure with a larger upper end and a smaller lower end, so that the dough slides down the inner wall of the hopper under its own gravity. During operation, the hopper trolley 11 moves to the discharge outlet of the dough mixer to receive the large pieces of dough that have been mixed. Then, the hopper trolley 11 moves to dock with the horizontal conveying component 25. The discharge outlet 111 of the hopper trolley 11 is located above the input end of the horizontal conveying component 25. Then, the slitting component 12 cuts the large pieces of dough in the hopper trolley 11 into small pieces of dough. The cut small pieces of dough automatically fall onto the horizontal conveying component 25, which then conveys them to the climbing conveying component. After that, the small pieces of dough are clamped and conveyed to the subsequent work station through the conveying gap 24 of the climbing conveying component, realizing the integrated operation of dough transfer, slitting and conveying, eliminating the need for manual transfer and slitting operations, and improving dough production efficiency. By installing a segmenting component 12 inside the hopper trolley 11, the segmenting component 12 can cut large pieces of dough into smaller pieces at regular intervals. This allows the dough to be cut directly on the hopper trolley 11. Using the segmenting component 12 ensures that the dough pieces are consistently sized, and prevents operator contact with the dough, thus avoiding contamination. The discharge port 111 of the hopper trolley 11 is located above the horizontal conveyor component 25, allowing the cut dough pieces to fall directly onto the horizontal conveyor component 25, resulting in higher efficiency. The small dough pieces move from the horizontal conveyor component 25 to the climbing conveyor component. As the dough moves upward along the conveyor gap 24, the gap helps to compress the dough, ensuring stable upward movement and preventing slippage during the climbing process. This continuous dough conveying improves efficiency.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the climbing conveyor assembly includes a climbing conveyor 22 inclined upward and a pressing conveyor 23 located above the climbing conveyor 22. The pressing conveyor 23 is arranged parallel to the conveying direction of the climbing conveyor 22. The pressing conveyor belt 230 in the pressing conveyor 23 is arranged opposite to the climbing conveyor belt 220 in the climbing conveyor 22, and a conveying gap 24 is formed between them. The size of the conveying gap 24 is adjustable.

[0040] In this embodiment, the distance 24 between the dough pressing conveyor belt 230 and the climbing conveyor belt 220 is first adjusted according to the size of the dough pieces. When the dough moves from the horizontal conveyor component 25 onto the climbing conveyor belt 220, it moves steadily upward with the assistance of the dough pressing conveyor belt, avoiding the risk of the dough slipping during the climbing process. By adjusting the conveyor gap 24, dough of different thicknesses can be conveyed, making it more practical.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes a first adjusting screw 27 and a second adjusting screw 28. One end of the first adjusting screw 27 is detachably connected to one side of the climbing conveyor 22, and the other end of the first adjusting screw 27 is threadedly connected to one side of the dough pressing conveyor 23. One end of the second adjusting screw 28 is rotatably connected to the other side of the climbing conveyor 22, and the other end of the second adjusting screw 28 is threadedly connected to the other side of the dough pressing conveyor 23.

[0042] In this embodiment, the dough pressing conveyor 23 is supported above the climbing conveyor 22 by the first adjusting screw 27 and the second adjusting screw 28. Both sides of the dough pressing conveyor 23 are threadedly connected to the first adjusting screw 27 and the second adjusting screw 28, respectively. This allows for adjustment of the conveying gap 24 by adjusting the position of the dough pressing conveyor 23 on the first adjusting screw 27 and the second adjusting screw 28. Furthermore, one end of the first adjusting screw 27 is detachably connected to one side of the climbing conveyor 22, and one end of the second adjusting screw 28 is rotatably connected to the other side of the climbing conveyor 22. When the first adjusting screw is disengaged from one side of the climbing conveyor 22, and the dough pressing conveyor 23 is rotated, the dough pressing conveyor belt 230 in the dough pressing conveyor 23 can be flipped over. This facilitates cleaning of the dough pressing conveyor belt 230 and the climbing conveyor belt 220. After cleaning, the dough pressing conveyor 23 is rotated back to its original position, and then the first adjusting screw 27 in the dough pressing conveyor 23 is reconnected to one side of the climbing conveyor 22.

[0043] Specifically, the first adjusting screw 27 is detachably connected to one side of the climbing conveyor 22 via a pin 271. One end of the first adjusting screw 27 is provided with a first connecting part, and one side of the climbing conveyor 22 is provided with a plug hole. The pin 271 passes through the first connecting part and is inserted into the plug hole. The pin 271 is provided with an elastic stop structure, which is configured to be able to be engaged or disengaged from the plug hole. The first adjusting screw 27 is detachably connected to the climbing conveyor 22 via a pin 271, achieving quick disassembly and assembly. Specifically, when the dough pressing conveyor 23 needs to be rotated, the pin 271 is pulled outwards forcefully, allowing the elastic stop structure to disengage from the insertion hole, thus separating the first adjusting screw 27 from the climbing conveyor 22. The dough pressing conveyor 23 can then be rotated. For resetting, the first connecting part of the first adjusting screw 27 is aligned with the insertion hole. The pin 271 then passes through the first connecting part and is inserted into the insertion hole. Under the action of the elastic stop structure, the pin 271 is not easily disengaged from the insertion hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the first adjusting screw 27 can also be connected to the climbing conveyor 22 via other detachable structures, such as clips or hooks.

[0044] Specifically, the second adjusting screw 28 is rotatably connected to the other side of the climbing conveyor 22 via a pin 281. One end of the second adjusting screw 28 has a second connecting portion, and the other side of the climbing conveyor 22 has a pin hole. The pin 281 includes a shaft section and a fastening section. The shaft section passes through the second connecting portion, and the fastening section passes through the pin hole, with the two being threaded together. The second support rod can rotate around the shaft section of the pin 281. The rotatable connection between the second adjusting screw 28 and the climbing conveyor 22 via the pin 281 is simple in structure.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal conveying assembly 25 includes a first conveying frame 251, a second conveying frame 252, a horizontal conveying belt 253, and a horizontal conveying drive mechanism 254 that drives the horizontal conveying belt 253 to rotate. The horizontal conveying belt 253 is simultaneously tensioned on the first conveying frame 251 and the second conveying frame 252. The first conveying frame 251 includes a horizontal conveying section 2510 and a ramp conveying section 2511 integrally connected to the horizontal conveying section 2510. The discharge port 111 of the hopper trolley 11 is movable above the horizontal conveying section 2510. The ramp conveying section 2511 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal conveying section 2510. The second conveying frame 252 is horizontally arranged on the frame 21. The output end of the ramp conveying section 2511 is rotatably connected to the input end of the second conveying frame 252 so that the first conveying frame 251 can rotate and fold relative to the second conveying frame 252. The output end of the second conveying frame 252 is connected to the input end of the climbing conveying assembly.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first conveyor frame 251 includes a horizontal conveyor section 2510 and a ramp conveyor section 2511. Due to the presence of the ramp conveyor section 2511, the height of the horizontal conveyor section 2510 is lower than the height of the second conveyor frame 252. This allows the shorter hopper trolley 11 to move above the horizontal conveyor section 2510, thus enabling the climbing conveyor device 20 to accommodate the shorter hopper trolley 11, demonstrating its practicality. Since the horizontal conveyor section 2510 is relatively low, it may go unnoticed and could easily trip the operator. Therefore, by rotatably connecting the ramp conveyor section 2511 of the first conveyor frame 251 to the second conveyor frame 252, the first conveyor frame 251 can be rotated and folded relative to the second conveyor frame 252. When not in use, the first conveyor frame 251 can be folded away, occupying less space and improving safety.

[0047] Specifically, the second conveyor frame 252 has a rotating shaft 255 at one end near the inclined conveyor section 2511, and the output end of the inclined conveyor section is connected to the rotating shaft 255. The rotating shaft 255 enables the first conveyor frame 251 and the second conveyor frame 252 to be rotatably connected, resulting in a simple structure and stable performance. The output end of the second conveyor frame 252 is connected to a drive shaft 256, and a horizontal conveyor belt 253 passes around the drive shaft 256. One end of the drive shaft 256 is connected to the output end of a horizontal conveyor drive mechanism 254. When the horizontal conveyor drive mechanism 254 drives the drive shaft 256 to rotate, it in turn drives the horizontal conveyor belt 253 to rotate.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 21 is provided with a lifting mechanism 26, the driving end of which is connected to the ramp conveying section 2511 of the first conveyor frame 251 to drive the end of the first conveyor frame 251 away from the second conveyor frame 252 to rise or fall.

[0049] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 26 drives the end of the first conveyor frame 251 away from the second conveyor frame 252 to rise or fall, enabling automatic folding of the first conveyor frame 251. This makes operation simpler and more convenient, while also enhancing safety. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 26 is a telescopic cylinder. The end of the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is connected to the outer side of the inclined conveyor section 2511, and the cylinder body end is connected to the inner side of the frame 21. The first conveyor frame 251 is raised or lowered by the telescopic movement of the telescopic rod. Using a telescopic cylinder to raise or lower the first conveyor frame 251 offers advantages such as convenient control and stable performance. In other embodiments, the lifting mechanism 26 can be a lifting hydraulic cylinder or a lead screw mechanism.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the frame 21 has a clamping mechanism 29, and the hopper trolley 11 is provided with a clamped part 115 for clamping by the clamping mechanism 29. The clamping mechanism 29 includes a base 290, a first clamping block 291 and a second clamping block 292 pivotally connected to the base 290, and an elastic element 293 for connecting the first clamping block 291 and the second clamping block 292. The elastic element 293 is used to provide elastic recovery. The first clamping block 291 and the second clamping block 292 are arranged opposite to each other, and their opposite sides are respectively formed with a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove. The first clamping groove and the second clamping groove are joined to form a clamping space 294 for clamping the clamped part 115. The insertion ends of the first clamping block 291 and the second clamping block 292 are respectively provided with a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are combined to form a trumpet-shaped guide opening 295.

[0051] In this embodiment, the clamped component 115 is vertically arranged, and the hopper trolley 11 moves horizontally. During the movement of the hopper trolley 11, the clamped component 115 quickly engages with the clamping space 294 of the clamping mechanism 29 along the guide opening 295, achieving rapid locking of the hopper trolley 11. When the hopper trolley 11 needs to be moved, under the action of external force, the clamped component 115 can disengage from the clamping space 294 through the guide opening 295, achieving rapid unlocking. The clamping space 294 is formed by the combination of the first clamping block 291 and the second clamping block 292, ensuring reliable clamping. Simultaneously, the structure of the first and second clamping grooves enhances the clamping force and improves the clamping effect. The trumpet-shaped guide opening 295 facilitates the rapid insertion or removal of the clamped component 115 into or out of the clamping space 294. The elastic element 293 allows the first and second clamping blocks 291 and 292 to automatically reset, facilitating the next clamping. The elastic element 293 is preferably a spring.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the segmentation assembly 12 includes a cutting blade 121 movably disposed at the discharge port 111 of the hopper trolley 11 and a segmentation drive mechanism 122 for driving the cutting blade 121 to reciprocate. The cutting blade 121 is provided with a slanted blade surface for cutting dough.

[0053] In this embodiment, the hopper trolley 11 moves to the discharge port of the dough mixer to receive the large pieces of dough that have been mixed. Then, the hopper trolley 11 moves above the horizontal conveyor section 2510. When the control system issues a cutting command, the segmenting drive mechanism 122 drives the cutting blade 121 to move a preset distance, the discharge port 111 is partially opened, and the large pieces of dough are squeezed out. Afterward, the segmenting drive mechanism 122 drives the cutting blade 121 to quickly cut the dough and close the discharge port 111. By cutting the dough with a slanted blade, the dough can be cut quickly, increasing the segmenting speed.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the climbing conveyor 22 includes a climbing conveyor section 223 and an extension conveyor section 224. The output end of the dough pressing conveyor 23 is provided with a first scraper 233, which is located above the output end of the climbing conveyor section 223. The output end of the extension conveyor section 224 is provided with a second scraper 225.

[0055] In this embodiment, the climbing conveyor section 223 and the extension conveyor section 224 share the climbing conveyor belt 220. The dough first moves from the horizontal conveyor component 25 to the climbing conveyor section 223, and then moves from the climbing conveyor section 223 to the extension conveyor section 224. It is then conveyed by the extension conveyor section 224 to the subsequent work station. By setting the first scraper 233 and the second scraper 225, the cleanliness of the dough during transportation can be maintained at all times.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the hopper trolley 11 is equipped with an emergency stop switch 112 and an emergency stop rope 113. The emergency stop rope 113 is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley 11. When the emergency stop rope 113 is pulled, it triggers the emergency stop switch 112. The emergency stop switch 112 is electrically connected to a controller. When the controller receives an emergency stop signal from the emergency stop switch 112, it controls the equipment on the hopper trolley 11 to stop operating.

[0057] In this embodiment, an emergency stop rope 113 is installed on the hopper trolley 11, and the emergency stop rope 113 is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley 11, so that the emergency stop rope 113 can be quickly pulled from multiple directions of the hopper trolley 11. Thus, in case of an emergency, the operator can pull the emergency stop rope 113 at any position, which is simple and easy to operate. When the emergency stop rope 113 is pulled, it triggers the emergency stop switch 112. The emergency stop switch 112 sends an emergency stop signal to the controller. When the controller receives the emergency stop signal from the emergency stop switch 112, it controls the equipment on the hopper trolley 11 to stop running. The whole process is fast and timely, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0058] Specifically, a plurality of lugs 114 are arranged around the outer side of the feed inlet 110 of the hopper trolley 11, and the emergency stop rope 113 is wrapped around the outer side of the top of the hopper trolley 11 through the lugs 114.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the climbing conveyor 22 includes a climbing conveyor frame 221, a climbing conveyor belt 220 disposed on the climbing conveyor frame 221, and a climbing conveyor drive mechanism 222 for driving the climbing conveyor belt 220 to rotate. The climbing conveyor frame 221 includes a main frame 2210 and a support rod assembly disposed on the upper surface of the main frame 2210. The support rod assembly includes an inner support rod 2211 and outer support rods 2212 located on the left and right sides of the inner support rod 2211. The extending directions of the inner support rod 2211 and the outer support rod 2212 are parallel to the conveying direction of the climbing conveyor belt 220. The lower end faces of the inner support rod 2211 and the outer support rod 2212 are on the same plane. The thickness of the inner support rod 2211 is less than the thickness of the outer support rod 2212, so that the upper end faces of the inner support rod 2211 and the outer support rod 2212 are not at the same horizontal height.

[0060] In this embodiment, a support rod assembly is provided on the upper surface of the main frame 2210 to stably support the climbing conveyor belt 220. The support rod assembly consists of an inner support rod 2211 and an outer support rod 2212 with different thicknesses. The thickness of the inner support rod 2211 is less than that of the outer support rod 2212, so that the upper surfaces of the inner support rod 2211 and the outer support rod 2212 are not at the same horizontal height. This makes the upper surface of the entire support rod assembly form a structure that is roughly low in the middle and high on both sides. When the climbing conveyor belt 220 is installed on the climbing conveyor frame 221, the middle position of the climbing conveyor belt 220 does not contact the inner support rod 2211, while the outer position of the climbing conveyor belt 220 contacts the outer support rod 2212. When the dough moves onto the climbing conveyor belt 220, under the pressure of the dough pressing conveyor belt 230, the dough will automatically move towards the middle position of the climbing conveyor belt 220, preventing the dough from sliding off the edges of the climbing conveyor belt 220 and falling off. Compared to the traditional method of setting baffles on both sides of the climbing conveyor belt 220, this embodiment prevents the dough from sliding off the edges of the climbing conveyor belt 220 and falling off by designing the structure of the climbing conveyor frame 221. The structure is simpler and the manufacturing cost is also lower.

[0061] It should be noted that the dough pressing conveyor 23 in this embodiment includes a dough pressing conveyor frame 231, a dough pressing conveyor belt 230 disposed on the dough pressing conveyor frame 231, and a dough pressing conveyor drive mechanism 232 for driving the dough pressing conveyor belt 230 to rotate. The structure of the dough pressing conveyor frame 231 is the same as that of the climbing conveyor frame 221. The dough pressing conveyor drive mechanism 232 drives the dough pressing conveyor belt 230 to rotate cyclically, which, in conjunction with the cyclic rotation of the climbing conveyor belt 220, improves the climbing efficiency. Furthermore, the climbing conveyor drive mechanism 222, the horizontal conveyor drive mechanism 254, and the dough pressing conveyor drive mechanism 232 of this utility model are all existing technologies, and all use motors to drive the corresponding conveyor belts.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and all such changes should fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
