Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of paper dish technology, and in particular relates to an automatic dish dispensing component. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the catering industry, restaurants, hotels, canteens and other catering establishments use a huge amount of paper dishes. As people's living standards improve and their consumption concepts change, more and more consumers tend to choose convenient and hygienic ways of dining. As a disposable tableware, paper dishes are widely used in various catering establishments due to their lightweight, hygienic and economical characteristics. The traditional way of taking paper dishes is mostly manual, which exposes many problems during busy meal service periods.

[0003] From a labor cost perspective, during peak dining hours, waiters need to frequently retrieve and arrange paper dishes and manually provide utensils for the food, which consumes a lot of manpower and time, reducing the overall service quality and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic plate-retrieving component. By setting up a plate-retrieving mechanism, it realizes the function of automatically picking up paper dishes. In traditional technology, the method of picking up paper dishes by rotating gears requires the setting of a paper dish detection device to confirm whether the paper dish has been touched, thereby controlling the rotation mechanism to stop. However, by using a half-wheel method, it is only necessary to detect whether the rack has left the sensor above to infer that the suction cup has reached the paper dish (free fall due to gravity). It is faster and cheaper, greatly improving the speed of plate dispensing. It solves the problem that during peak dining hours, waiters need to frequently pick up and place paper dishes and manually provide tableware for food, which consumes a lot of manpower and time.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an automatic disc retrieval assembly, including a housing, on which a disc retrieval mechanism and a disc dispensing structure are provided;

[0007] The plate-retrieving mechanism includes a storage frame fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the outer casing. Several paper dishes are placed inside the storage frame. Two retaining rings are fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor via a coupling. A half gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing. A support frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide rail. A rack is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support frame. The rack meshes with the half gear.

[0008] Furthermore, an air pump is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell, and a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the air pump. The end of the connecting pipe away from the air pump extends into the interior of the support frame one, and the support frame one is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing tube is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame one, and one end of the connecting tube away from the air pump extends into the interior of the sealing tube. A suction cup is connected to the bottom end of the sealing tube, and the suction cup is fixedly connected to the sealing tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the disc ejection structure includes a second motor fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the outer casing, the output end of the second motor being fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft via a coupling, and a first gear being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail two is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, a support frame two is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rail two, and an arc-shaped push bar is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame two, with the arc-shaped push bar located above the storage frame.

[0012] Furthermore, a rack two is fixedly connected to the front side of the support frame two, and the rack two meshes with the gear one.

[0013] Furthermore, a support frame three is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, a motor three is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the support frame three, a rotating shaft three is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor three through a coupling, a gear two is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft three, and two gears three are rotatably connected to the top surface of the support frame three, and both gears three mesh with gear two.

[0014] Furthermore, baffles are fixedly connected to the top surfaces of both gears, and both baffles are located below the arc-shaped push bar. A conveyor belt is provided inside the housing, and the two baffles are located below the conveyor belt.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. With the included plate-retrieving mechanism, when the suction cup on the sealing tube adheres to the paper dishes on top of the stack, an air pump is driven to extract the air between the suction cup and the paper dishes, allowing the paper dishes to adhere to the bottom surface of the suction cup. At this point, the motor drives the rotating shaft and half-gear to slowly rotate, causing the rack to move upwards. With the cooperation of the slide rail, the support frame moves the sealing tube upwards until the paper dishes are at the top, and the inner diameter of the retaining ring is larger than the outer diameter of the paper dishes. When the paper dishes reach the retaining ring, they will slightly wrinkle, detaching any excess paper dishes stuck to the bottom, allowing the paper dishes to fall off. The automatic separation mechanism only picks up one item at a time. At this point, rack 1 moves to its highest position. Under the action of the half gear, the half gear disengages from rack 1, causing rack 1 to fall under the influence of gravity. This causes the sealing tube to move downwards and reset. When rack 1 moves to its highest position, the air inlet valve on the air pump is opened, allowing the paper dish to detach from the suction cup. The suction cup moves downwards to the two baffles. This structure can move the paper dish above the arc-shaped pusher and detach it during the continuous unidirectional rotation of the rotating shaft 1, realizing the automatic paper dish picking function. This solves the problem of traditional technology where the rotating shaft 1 needs to rotate one full circle and then return half a circle, greatly improving the speed of dish dispensing.

[0017] 2. By incorporating a dish ejection mechanism, when the suction cup picks up the napkin dish and moves it above the two baffles, motor three drives shaft three and gear two to rotate. This causes the two gears three to rotate synchronously, unfolding the baffles and rotating them below the suction cup. The baffles then support any falling individual napkin dishes. At this point, motor two drives shaft two and gear one to rotate, causing rack two to move support frame two to the left. This allows the arc-shaped pusher to push the napkin dish on the baffle onto the conveyor belt, which then transports the individual napkin dish off the conveyor belt. Before the sealing tube moves downwards to reset, and after the napkin dish is transported onto the conveyor belt, motor two moves the arc-shaped pusher to the far right. Simultaneously, motor three rotates the two baffles below the conveyor belt to retract them, preventing the suction cup from contacting the arc-shaped pusher and baffles when the sealing tube moves downwards to reset. This ensures a smooth and efficient process, achieving a fully automatic napkin dish ejection function.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model is an automatic disc retrieval assembly, including a housing 1, on which a disc retrieval mechanism 2 and a disc dispensing structure 3 are provided;

[0031] The plate-retrieving mechanism 2 includes a storage frame 21 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the inner casing 1. Several paper dishes 4 are placed inside the storage frame 21. Two retaining rings 22 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage frame 21. A motor 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the casing 1. The output end of the motor 23 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 24 via a coupling. A half-gear 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 24. A slide rail 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the casing 1. A support frame 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide rail 26. A rack 28 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the support frame 27. Bar 28 meshes with half gear 25. An air pump 29 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 1. A connecting pipe 291 is fixedly connected to the input end of the air pump 29. The end of the connecting pipe 291 away from the air pump 29 extends into the interior of the support frame 27. The support frame 27 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 291. A sealing pipe 292 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 27. The end of the connecting pipe 291 away from the air pump 29 extends into the interior of the sealing pipe 292. A suction cup 293 is connected to the bottom end of the sealing pipe 292. The suction cup 293 is fixedly connected to the sealing pipe 292. The device features a plate-retrieving mechanism 2, which drives motor 23 to rotate shaft 24 and half-gear 25 slowly until the paper tray 4 moves to the top. The inner diameter of the retaining ring 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the paper tray 4. When the paper tray 4 reaches the retaining ring 22, it will slightly wrinkle, detaching any paper trays stuck to the bottom. This allows the device to automatically separate and only pick up one paper tray at a time. When rack 28 reaches its highest point, the air intake valve on air pump 29 is opened, causing the paper tray 4 to detach from suction cup 293. Suction cup 293 then moves downwards to the two... On the baffle 394, this structure can move the paper dish 4 above the arc-shaped pusher 37 and detach it during the continuous unidirectional rotation of the rotating shaft 24, realizing the automatic picking function of the paper dish 4. In the traditional technology, the paper dish picking method of rotating the gear requires the setting of a paper dish detection device to confirm whether the paper dish is touched, thereby controlling the rotating mechanism to stop. However, by using the half wheel method, it is only necessary to detect whether the rack leaves the upper sensor to infer that the suction cup has reached the paper dish (free fall due to gravity), which is faster and lower in cost, and greatly improves the speed of dispensing the dish.

[0032] The disc ejection structure 3 includes a second motor 31 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 1. The output end of the second motor 31 is fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft 32 via a coupling. A gear 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 32. A second slide rail 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A second support frame 35 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the second slide rail 34. An arc-shaped push bar 37 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the second support frame 35. The arc-shaped push bar 37 is located above the storage frame 21. A rack is fixedly connected to the front side of the second support frame 35. Rack 2 36 meshes with gear 1 33. A support frame 3 38 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A motor 3 39 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the support frame 3 38. The output end of the motor 3 39 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 391 via a coupling. Gear 2 392 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 391. Two gears 393 are rotatably connected to the top surface of the support frame 3 38. Both gears 393 mesh with gear 2 392. The top surfaces of both gears 393 are fixed. Connected to baffles 394, both baffles 394 are located below the arc-shaped push bar 37. Inside the outer casing 1 is a conveyor belt 5, with the two baffles 394 located below it. A dish ejection structure 3 drives a second motor 31 to rotate a second shaft 32 and a first gear 33, causing a second rack 36 to move a second support frame 35 to the left. This allows the arc-shaped push bar 37 to push the paper dish 4 on the baffles 394 onto the conveyor belt 5, which in turn can convey the individual paper dish 4 onto the conveyor belt. Before the sealing tube 292 moves downward to reset, and after the paper dish 4 is conveyed onto the conveyor belt 5, the second drive motor 31 can move the arc-shaped pusher 37 to the rightmost position. At the same time, the third drive motor 39 can rotate the two baffles 394 to the bottom of the conveyor belt 5 and store them. This prevents the suction cup 293 from contacting the arc-shaped pusher 37 and the baffles 394 when the sealing tube 292 moves downward to reset, ensuring that the whole process can proceed smoothly and achieving the fully automatic paper dish 4 dispensing function.

[0033] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: When the suction cup 293 on the sealing tube 292 is attached to the napkin plate 4 on the top surface of the stack of napkin plates 4, the air pump 29 can be driven to extract the air between the suction cup 293 and the napkin plate 4, so that the napkin plate 4 can be attached to the bottom surface of the suction cup 293. At this time, the motor 23 can be driven to drive the rotating shaft 24 and the half gear 25 to rotate slowly, driving the rack 28 to move upward. With the cooperation of the slide rail 26, the support frame 27 drives the sealing tube 292 to move upward until the napkin plate 4 moves to the top, and the inner diameter of the retaining ring 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the napkin plate 4. When the napkin plate 4 moves to the retaining ring 22, the napkin plate 4 will generate Slight wrinkles allow the excess paper towels on the bottom of the paper towel plate 4 to be detached, enabling the paper towel plate 4 to automatically separate and only pick up one at a time. At this time, the rack 28 moves to its highest position. Under the action of the half gear 25, the half gear 25 disengages from the rack 28, causing the rack 28 to fall under the action of gravity. This causes the sealing tube 292 to move downward and reset. When the rack 28 moves to its highest position, the air intake valve 29 on the air pump 29 is opened, allowing the paper towel plate 4 to detach from the suction cup 293. The suction cup 293 moves downward to the two baffles 394. This structure can move the paper towel plate 4 above the arc-shaped pusher 37 and detach it during the continuous unidirectional rotation of the rotating shaft 24, realizing the automatic picking function of the paper towel plate 4.

[0034] With the dish ejection structure 3 in place, when the suction cup 293 picks up the napkin dish 4 and moves it above the two baffles 394, the motor 39 can drive the rotating shaft 391 and gear 392 to rotate, causing the two gears 393 to rotate synchronously. This unfolds the baffles 394 and rotates them below the suction cup 293, allowing the baffles 394 to support the fallen individual napkin dish 4. At this time, the motor 31 can drive the rotating shaft 32 and gear 33 to rotate, causing the rack 36 to move the support frame 35 to the left, so that the arc-shaped pusher 37 can push the napkin dish on the baffle 394. The dish 4 is pushed onto the conveyor belt 5, which can deliver the individual paper dish 4 out of the tray. Before the sealing tube 292 moves downward to reset, and after the paper dish 4 is delivered onto the conveyor belt 5, the second motor 31 can be driven to move the arc-shaped pusher 37 to the rightmost position. At the same time, the third motor 39 can be driven to rotate the two baffles 394 to the bottom of the conveyor belt 5 and store them. This prevents the suction cup 293 from contacting the arc-shaped pusher 37 and the baffles 394 when the sealing tube 292 moves downward to reset, ensuring that the whole process can proceed smoothly and achieve the fully automatic dispensing function of the paper dish 4.
