[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] The first servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which in turn pushes the frame upward via the internal threaded slider, lifting the food placed on the conveyor belt. The second servo motor drives the conveyor belt to rotate, transporting the food onto the conveyor body. This eliminates the need for manual food handling. Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a conveying device for a food supply chain, comprising a conveyor body 1 and an internally threaded slider 7. A base plate 2 is provided at one end of the conveyor body 1, and a side plate 3 is welded to the top of the base plate 2. A reserved groove 4 is provided through the side plate 3, and a lead screw 5 is rotatably connected to the reserved groove 4 through a bearing. A frame 8 is provided on one side of the lead screw 5, and a weighing instrument 10 is mounted on one side of the frame 8 through a mounting base.
[0025] The frame 8 is rotatably connected to a first transmission roller 16 via bearings. The two inner ends of the frame 8 away from the first transmission roller 16 are rotatably connected to a second transmission roller 17 via bearings. A conveyor belt 13 is sleeved on the outer side of the first transmission roller 16 and the second transmission roller 17. A shelf 14 is fixed to the inside of the frame 8 between the second transmission roller 17 and the first transmission roller 16 via bolts. A weighing sensor 15 is fixed to the top of the shelf 14 via bolts.
[0026] In use, the weighing sensor 15 and the weighing instrument 10 are set to weigh the food placed on the conveyor belt 13. The screw 5 rotates to push the internal thread slider 7 and the food on the conveyor belt 13 to move upward. The conveyor belt 13 rotates to transport the food to the conveyor body 1.
[0027] For example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also includes a threaded slider 7 fixed to one side of the frame 8 inside the reserved groove 4 by bolts, and the threaded slider 7 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 5.
[0028] During use, the lead screw 5 rotates to push the internal thread slider 7 up and down.
[0029] For example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also includes a sliding sleeve 12 that is sleeved through both ends of the internal threaded slider 7, and an auxiliary rod 9 that is fixed to both ends of the reserved groove 4 by bolts, the auxiliary rod 9 passing through the sliding sleeve 12.
[0030] In use, the auxiliary rod 9 and the sliding sleeve 12 can improve the structural stability of the internal thread slider 7 without affecting its up and down movement.
[0031] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention also includes a first servo motor 6 mounted on the top of the side plate 3 via a mounting bracket, and the bottom output shaft of the first servo motor 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 5 via a connecting sleeve.
[0032] In use, the first servo motor 6 is used to drive the lead screw 5 to rotate.
[0033] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes a second servo motor 11 mounted on the side of the frame 8 away from the weighing instrument 10 via a mounting bracket, and the output shaft of the second servo motor 11 is connected to the rotating shaft of the first transmission roller 16 via a connecting sleeve.
[0034] In use, the second servo motor 11 is used to drive the first transmission roller 16 to rotate.
[0035] For example, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes a current output terminal of the weighing instrument 10 that is electrically connected to the current input terminal of the weighing sensor 15 via a power supply line.
[0036] During use, the data detected by the weighing sensor 15 is transmitted to the weighing instrument 10 for processing and display.
[0037] When using this utility model, the operator connects the device to an external power source using a power cord, places the food on the conveyor belt 13, and the weight of the food is applied to the weighing sensor 15 after the food is placed on the conveyor belt 13. The weighing sensor 15 weighs the food and transmits the data to the weighing instrument 10 for processing and display.
[0038] Turn on the first servo motor 6 to drive the lead screw 5 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 5 pushes the internal thread slider 7 and the frame 8 on one side to move upward, thereby moving the food placed on the conveyor belt 13 upward until the food is level with the conveyor body 1.
[0039] The second servo motor 11 is turned on to drive the first transmission roller 16 to rotate. The rotation of the first transmission roller 16, with the assistance of the second transmission roller 17, causes the conveyor belt 13 to rotate, conveying the food onto the conveyor body 1. The conveyor body 1 then works to convey the food.
[0040] When the internal thread slider 7 moves up and down, its internal sliding sleeve 12 slides up and down on the outside of the auxiliary rod 9, which can improve its structural stability without affecting the up and down movement of the internal thread slider 7.
