Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of biscuit production technology, specifically to a biscuit longitudinal posture adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Biscuits, as a snack or dietary supplement, are convenient to eat and easy to carry, making them an indispensable food in daily life. During the processing, biscuits emerge from the forming machine as tightly compressed rectangular blocks, slide down a ramp onto a conveyor belt, and are finally sent to a vacuum packaging machine for packaging. The biscuit blocks tend to form a disordered arrangement during discharge and descent, requiring uniform adjustment of their orientation before entering the packaging machine.

[0003] Currently, guide plates and adjustment plates are installed along the conveyor belt's running direction. These plates extend at an angle from one side of the conveyor belt towards the center. The inner surface of the guide plate is smooth, while the inner surface of the adjustment plate is toothed. As the biscuit moves forward along the conveyor belt, it first deflects towards the center of the belt via the guide plate, initially adjusting its posture. Then, the biscuit piece slides out from the end of the guide plate and continues forward, contacting the adjustment plate. Because the adjustment plate has a toothed surface, the long side of the biscuit piece maintains a stable forward movement when it contacts the toothed surface. Except for the long side, both the short side and the corners contact the toothed surface first. The forward movement of the contact point is stopped by the toothed surface, while the far end continues to move forward, ultimately adjusting the biscuit piece to a posture where its long side is close to the toothed surface, resulting in a uniform biscuit posture.

[0004] However, when correcting the longitudinal posture of a cookie using existing rack-and-tooth mechanisms, the ends of the racks are prone to rubbing against the edges of the cookie, causing the edges to break and affecting the appearance and quality of the product. In view of this, a cookie longitudinal posture adjustment device is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a biscuit longitudinal posture adjustment device to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, that when the longitudinal posture of the biscuit is corrected by means of a rack, the end of the rack is easy to rub against the edge of the biscuit, resulting in the edge of the biscuit being damaged.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a biscuit longitudinal posture adjustment device, comprising:

[0007] Mounting plate, installed on the conveyor;

[0008] A correction plate is hinged to the end of the mounting plate, and its bottom surface abuts against the conveyor belt on the conveyor. A ratchet is provided on one side of the correction plate.

[0009] Multiple sets of rollers, all rotatable, are arranged on the edge of each tooth of the ratchet rack and protrude outwards; and

[0010] A guide plate is movably disposed at the end of the correction plate and is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a mounting assembly is provided on one side of the mounting plate. The mounting assembly includes two sets of spaced-apart mounting seats, each mounting seat is screwed with a set screw, and the end of each set screw is provided with a fastening block. The two sets of fastening blocks are arranged opposite to each other.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the end of the guide plate is provided with a gooseneck tube, and the guide plate is connected to the end of the correction plate through the gooseneck tube.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a flexible sleeve is further provided between the guide plate and the correction plate, and the gooseneck tube is disposed within the flexible sleeve.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate and the correction plate are connected by an adjustment assembly, which adjusts the angle between the mounting plate and the correction plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment component includes:

[0016] A threaded knob is vertically screwed onto the mounting plate;

[0017] A connecting seat, rotatably mounted at the end of the threaded knob, is provided with an adjusting pin; and

[0018] A sliding frame is provided on one side of the correction plate, and the adjusting column is slidably engaged within the sliding frame.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the correction plate is further provided with a shielding plate, and a fixing seat is provided at the bottom of the shielding plate. The fixing seat is connected to the correction plate by bolts.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] In use, the correction device involves mounting a plate on a conveyor, with the correction plate contacting the conveyor belt. The conveyor transports the randomly arranged biscuit pieces. When a biscuit piece reaches contact with the correction plate, a ratchet limits one corner of the piece, causing it to rotate on the conveyor belt until its long side is parallel to the ratchet, thus guiding the piece. Simultaneously, as the biscuit piece rotates to parallel with the ratchet, it contacts a roller on the edge of the ratchet, protecting the edge and preventing damage from friction. Finally, a guide plate guides the corrected biscuit piece to the next conveyor mechanism. This device effectively protects the biscuit pieces, improving their appearance and quality.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, this utility model provides a biscuit longitudinal posture adjustment device, including a mounting plate 1 installed on a conveyor, a correction plate 5 provided at the end of the mounting plate 1, the bottom surface of the correction plate 5 abutting against the conveyor belt on the conveyor, and a ratchet rack 6 provided on one side of the correction plate 5. A mounting assembly is provided on one side of the mounting plate 1, the mounting assembly including two sets of spaced mounting seats 2, a set screw 3 screwed onto the mounting seat 2, and a fastening block 4 provided at the end of the set screw 3, the two sets of fastening blocks 4 being arranged opposite to each other.

[0031] In use, the distance between the two sets of fastening blocks 4 can be adjusted by rotating the two sets of set screws 3. The mounting plate 1 is fixed to one side of the conveyor by the cooperation of the two sets of fastening blocks 4. The position of the set screws 3 is adjusted so that the correction plate 5 comes into contact with the conveyor belt on the conveyor. The biscuits are scattered during the conveying process. The ratchet 6 can limit one corner of the biscuit so that the biscuit can be flipped over and become parallel to the correction plate 5.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the device also includes multiple sets of rollers 7, which are rotatably arranged on the edge of each tooth of the ratchet 6 and protrude outward. After the biscuit is flipped, its long side contacts the roller 7, so that the biscuit will not rub against the teeth of the ratchet 6 during the sliding process along the ratchet 6, thus avoiding damage to the biscuit.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a guide plate 14 is provided at the end of the correction plate 5. The guide plate 14 is parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor, and a gooseneck tube 15 is provided at the end of the guide plate 14. The guide plate 14 is connected to the end of the correction plate 5 through the gooseneck tube 15. A flexible sleeve 16 is also provided between the guide plate 14 and the correction plate 5, and the gooseneck tube 15 is disposed inside the flexible sleeve 16.

[0034] After being corrected by the ratchet 6, the biscuit is arranged in a direction parallel to the conveyor belt by the guide plate 14, so as to facilitate its conveying to the next processing mechanism or conveying mechanism. The position of the guide plate 14 can be adjusted according to the receiving position of the next processing mechanism or conveying mechanism. When adjusting, it is only necessary to move the gooseneck tube 15 to deform it.

[0035] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting plate 1 and the correction plate 5 are connected by an adjustment assembly, which adjusts the angle between the mounting plate 1 and the correction plate 5. The adjustment assembly includes a threaded knob 9 vertically screwed onto the mounting plate 1. A connecting seat 10 is rotatably provided at the end of the threaded knob 9. An adjustment post 11 is provided on the connecting seat 10. A sliding frame 8 is provided on one side of the correction plate 5, and the adjustment post 11 is slidably engaged in the sliding frame 8.

[0036] The included angle of the correction plate 5 can be adjusted according to the width of the conveyor belt in the conveyor or the receiving position of the next-level processing mechanism or conveying mechanism, so as to correct the position of the biscuits conveyed over a wider range, or to convey the biscuits to a designated position. By rotating the threaded knob 9, the adjusting column 11 slides within the slide frame 8, thereby causing the correction plate 5 to rotate along its hinge point with the mounting plate 1, and then the position of the guide plate 14 is adjusted.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a baffle plate 12 is also provided on the correction plate 5, and a fixing seat 13 is provided at the bottom of the baffle plate 12. The fixing seat 13 is connected to the correction plate 5 by bolts. The baffle plate 12 blocks the crumbs generated during the biscuit conveying process, thus preventing contamination of the workspace.

[0038] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0039] In use, the mounting plate 1 is installed on the conveyor, and the correction plate 5 abuts against the conveyor belt. The conveyor transports the randomly arranged biscuit pieces. When a biscuit piece moves to contact the correction plate 5, a ratchet 6 limits one corner of the biscuit piece, causing it to rotate on the conveyor belt until its long side is parallel to the ratchet 6, thus guiding the biscuit piece. At the same time, when the biscuit piece rotates to be parallel to the ratchet 6, it contacts the roller 7 on the edge of the ratchet 6. The roller 7 protects the edge of the biscuit piece, preventing it from rubbing against the ratchet 6 and causing damage. Finally, the guide plate 14 guides the corrected biscuit piece to the next conveyor mechanism. This device effectively protects the biscuit pieces and improves their appearance and quality.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
