[0050] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a transmission device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a drive disk 1, an intermittent disk 2, and a transfer assembly 3. The drive disk 1 is pivotable about the axis of a first spindle 4. The drive disk 1 is provided with a first cam portion 11 and a second cam portion 12. The first cam portion 11 and the second cam portion 12 are arranged radially at intervals along the first spindle 4 and form a channel 13 of equal width. The channel 13 includes a first arc segment 131, a reversing segment 132, and a second arc segment 133 connected in sequence. The first arc segment 131 has a first curved surface 1311 formed on the first cam portion 11, and the second arc segment 133 has a second curved surface 1311 formed on the second cam portion 12. The intermittent disk 2 is pivotable about the axis of the second spindle 5, which is aligned with the axis of the first spindle 4. The intermittent disk 2 has a slider 21 and two motion states. In the first motion state, the slider 21 slides against the first curved surface 1311; in the second motion state, the slider 21 slides against the second curved surface 1331. In other words, when the intermittent disk 2 is in the first motion state, the slider 21 rotates due to the force exerted by the first curved surface 1311; and when the intermittent disk 2 is in the second motion state, the slider 21 rotates due to the force exerted by the second curved surface 1331. The connecting assembly 3 includes a toothed portion 31 and a toothed portion 32. One of the toothed portion 31 and the toothed portion 32 is located on the second cam portion 12, and the other is located on the intermittent disk 2. When the slider 21 is located in the reversing section 132, the toothed portion 31 and the toothed portion 32 mesh and drive, causing the intermittent disk 2 to switch from the first motion state to the second motion state.
[0052] According to the transmission device 100 of this utility model embodiment, the first spindle 4 can drive the drive disk 1 to rotate, so that the slider 21 on the intermittent disk 2 can slide along the channel 13. During this process, after the slider 21 enters the channel 13, it is first subjected to the force of the first curved surface 1311, and the intermittent disk 2 is in a first motion state and rotates around the second spindle 5. Then, the slider 21 slides to the reversing section 132, and the force direction of the slider 21 will change in the reversing section 132. That is, the force acting on the slider 21 switches from the first curved surface 1311 to the second curved surface 1331, so that when the slider 21 is subjected to the force of the second curved surface 1331, the intermittent disk 2 is in a second motion state and rotates. The channel 13 can constrain and limit the slider 21, so that the rotation of the intermittent disk 2 is completely controlled by the drive disk 1, and avoids accidental stop. The intermittent disk 2 may rotate, causing misalignment, interference, or mutual damage to the machine parts. However, in the reversing section 132, the constraint and limiting ability of the channel 13 on the slider 21 will weaken. At this time, if the intermittent disk 2 is shaken by external force, the intermittent disk 2 will wobble significantly, thereby reducing the motion accuracy of the transmission device 100. The transfer component 3 can increase the accuracy of the transmission through the meshing transmission between the toothed part 31 and the toothed groove part 32 when the slider 21 passes through the reversing section 132, and reduce the violent impact of the sudden change in the force direction on the slider 21. This effectively prevents the risk of damage to the slider 21 under heavy load, improves the stability of the transmission, and ensures the continuous, reliable, and stable drive of the drive disk 1 on the intermittent disk 2. Therefore, compared with related technologies, this utility model can operate smoothly, has a simple overall structure, and has high working reliability.
[0053] It is understandable that "drive disk 1 is pivotable about the axis of the first spindle 4," meaning that drive disk 1 is mounted on the first spindle 4, and when the first spindle 4 is rotated by a driver or manually, drive disk 1 will rotate synchronously. Similarly, "intermittent disk 2 is pivotable about the axis of the second spindle 5," meaning that intermittent disk 2 is mounted on the second spindle 5, and when intermittent disk 2 is driven to rotate by drive disk 1, the second spindle 5 can rotate synchronously.
[0054] In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the toothed portion 31 is provided on the second cam portion 12 and the toothed portion 32 is provided on the intermittent disk 2; in other embodiments, the toothed portion 32 is provided on the second cam portion 12 and the toothed portion 31 is provided on the intermittent disk 2. Therefore, the arrangement of the handover component 3 of the present invention can be the two methods mentioned above.
[0055] Specifically, the drive disk 1 can be coaxially connected to the first spindle 4, that is, a first through hole extending along its thickness direction can be opened in the center of the drive disk 1, and the first spindle 4 can be coaxially fixedly installed in the first through hole, so as to facilitate the drive disk 1 to rotate by a driver or manually. The width of the channel 13 is equal to or slightly larger than the size of the slider 21, so that the slider 21 can be slidably constrained by the channel 13. The channel 13 can have two openings, namely an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is located at the end of the first arc segment 131 away from the direction-changing segment 132, and the outlet is located at the end of the second arc segment 133 away from the direction-changing segment 132. When the drive disk 1 rotates, the slider 21 can enter the channel 13 from the inlet and leave the constraint and drive of the channel 13 from the outlet. The first arc segment 131, the direction-changing segment 132 and the second arc segment 133 are arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the channel 13. The intermittent disk 2 can be coaxially connected to the second spindle 5, that is, a second through hole extending along its thickness direction can be opened in the center of the intermittent disk 2, and the second spindle 5 can be coaxially fixedly installed in the second through hole. The first spindle 4 and the second spindle 5 are arranged radially spaced along the first spindle 4. The toothed portion 32 can be a mounting block with toothed grooves, such as the toothed portion 32 can be fixed to the second cam portion 12 by bolts, or the toothed portion 32 can be integrally formed on the second cam portion 12.
[0056] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first arc segment 131 and the second arc segment 133 are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the reference plane, the axis of the first mandrel 4 coincides with the reference plane, and on the projection plane perpendicular to the axis of the first mandrel 4, the curvature of the projection of the first arc segment 131 gradually increases in the direction from the first arc segment 131 toward the turning segment 132.
[0057] It is understandable that, since the first arc segment 131 and the second arc segment 133 are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner, when the curvature of the projection of the first arc segment 131 gradually increases along the direction from the first arc segment 131 toward the turning segment 132, the curvature of the projection of the second arc segment 133 gradually decreases along the direction from the turning segment 132 toward the second arc segment 133. This allows the sliding speed of the slider 21 to gradually increase from zero speed in the first arc segment 131 and gradually decrease to zero speed in the second arc segment 133 when the drive disk 1 rotates and the slider 21 slides along the channel 13.
[0058] Meanwhile, designing the first arc segment 131 and the second arc segment 133 as a mirror symmetric structure is also beneficial to the processing and forming of the channel 13, reducing the production difficulty of the transmission device 100 and simplifying its overall structure.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the reversing segment 132 is arranged on the drive disk 1 with the reference plane as the center of symmetry. The reversing segment 132 is concave towards the first spindle 4. In other words, on the projection plane perpendicular to the first spindle 4, the projection of the reversing segment 132 is a mirror-symmetrical concave structure. When the slider slides into the reversing segment, the intermittent disk moves at the same speed relative to the drive disk. At this time, on the projection plane perpendicular to the first spindle 4, the curvature of the projection of the reversing segment 132 gradually increases and then gradually decreases. That is, the curvature of the projection of the reversing segment 132 gradually increases along the direction from the first arc segment 131 toward the position closest to the first spindle 4, and gradually decreases along the direction from the position closest to the first spindle 4 toward the second arc segment 133, so as to minimize the impact of the abrupt change in shape of the reversing segment 132 on the smooth sliding of the slider 21. The minimum curvature of the projection of the reversing segment 132 is equal to the maximum curvature of the projection of the first arc segment 131.
[0060] It is understandable that, combining the structural design of the first arc segment 131 and the second arc segment 133, and designing the curvature of the projection of the direction-changing segment 132 to gradually increase and then gradually decrease, so that when the drive disk 1 rotates, the intermittent disk 2 can achieve the motion law of starting from zero and accelerating (i.e., the first arc segment 131 is the acceleration segment) - running at a constant speed (i.e., the direction-changing segment 132 is the constant speed segment) - decelerating and stopping (i.e., the second arc segment 133 is the deceleration segment). At this time, the slider 21 can move at the highest speed at a constant speed in the direction-changing segment 132.
[0061] It should be noted that the curvature parameters of the projections of each of the first arc segment 131, the deflection segment 132, and the second arc segment 133 of the channel 13 can be designed and adjusted according to actual needs. Therefore, compared with the transmission mechanism of the radial multi-groove intermittent wheel in related technologies, this utility model has a variable design operating curve and runs more smoothly.
[0062] In addition, by adjusting the extension length of each of the first arc segment 131, the reversing segment 132, and the second arc segment 133, the movement duration of the intermittent disc 2 in the acceleration segment, the constant speed segment, and the deceleration segment can be changed, so that when the transmission device 100 is applied to the seaweed processing unit, it is beneficial to increase the speed and efficiency of the seaweed processing unit.
[0063] Either the toothed portion 31 or the toothed portion 32 is arranged on the second cam portion 12 with the reference plane as the center of symmetry and is located near the position closest to the first spindle 4 of the deflection section 132. That is, the toothed portion 31 or the toothed portion 32 is also a mirror symmetrical structure and corresponds to the recess of the deflection section 132. In other words, the toothed portion 31 or the toothed portion 32 is arranged in the middle position near the deflection section 132.
[0064] It is understandable that the above-mentioned structural design of the deflection section 132 can further simplify the structure of the channel 13 and facilitate the processing and forming of the channel 13.
[0065] It should be noted that the transfer component 3 mainly serves as a transition and connection near the middle position of the reversing section 132 to prevent severe impact on the slider 21 caused by the abrupt change in shape. The effective range of the reversing section 132 on the slider 21 is greater than that of the transfer component 3. In addition, to prevent over-positioning or interference of the drive, the gap at the position on the reversing section 132 corresponding to the effective range of the transfer component 3 can be slightly enlarged, which means that the width of the channel 13 at that position is slightly larger, so that only the transfer component 3 drives the slider 21 at that position.
[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 21 is pivotally connected to the intermittent disk 2, and the outer contour of the cross-section of the slider 21 is circular to ensure that the slider 21 runs smoothly in the channel 13 and reduce wear on the slider 21.
[0067] For example, the slider 21 is not limited to a cylindrical slider 21, such as a bearing, so that the outer peripheral surface of the slider 21 makes rolling contact with the channel 13, in which case the width of the channel 13 is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the slider 21.
[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of sliders 21 is N, where N ≥ 2n, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, that is, the number of sliders 21 is an even number. For example, the number of sliders 21 can be 4, 6, 8, etc., but is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values within this range also apply. All sliders 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the intermittent disk 2.
[0069] The toothed portion 31 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the intermittent disk 2 and extends radially along the second spindle 5. The slider 21 is located radially between the toothed portion 31 and the second spindle 5. In other words, on the projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the second spindle 5, the projection of the toothed portion 31 and the projection of the slider 21 are located on the same radial line of the second spindle 5, and the slider 21 is closer to the second spindle 5 than the toothed portion 31. For example, the toothed portion 31 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the intermittent disk 2, and the slider 21 is rotatably mounted on the end face of the intermittent disk 2. There are multiple toothed portions 31, each corresponding to a slider 21, that is, the number of toothed portions 31 is equal to the number of sliders 21.
[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive disk 1 is further provided with a ring body 14. The ring body 14 and the first cam portion 11 are both located on the outer periphery of the second cam portion 12 and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the first spindle 4. At this time, the inner peripheral surface of the first cam portion 11 and the outer peripheral surface of the second cam portion 12 together form a channel 13.
[0071] At least one of the ring body 14 and the second cam portion 12 has an arc surface 15. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, the ring body 14 has an arc surface 15; in other embodiments, the second cam portion 12 has an arc surface 15; and in still other embodiments, both the ring body 14 and the second cam portion 12 have arc surfaces 15. Therefore, the arc surface 15 of the present invention can be provided in the aforementioned three ways. The arc surface 15 is concentric with the first spindle 4. The intermittent disk 2 also has a stationary state. The slider 21 slides with the arc surface 15 in the stationary state. In other words, when the slider 21 slides with the arc surface 15, the intermittent disk 2 remains stationary relative to the drive disk 1.
[0072] It should be noted that when the center distance between the drive disk 1 and the intermittent disk 2 is appropriate, two of the sliders 21 on the intermittent disk 2 are simultaneously abutting against the arc surface 15. At this time, if the drive disk 1 is stationary, the intermittent disk 2 will also be unable to rotate.
[0073] Taking the figure as an example, when the above-mentioned structural design is adopted in the channel 13, and the outer peripheral surface of the second cam part 12 is a circular arc surface 15 away from the channel 13, the running trajectory of the slider 21 is approximately "heart" shaped during the transmission operation of the drive disk 1 and the intermittent disk 2.
[0074] Now, taking the specific structure of the transmission device 100 as an example, with four sliders 21 designated as slider A, slider B, slider C, and slider D, its working principle and process will be explained as follows:
[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, when the drive disk 1 rotates clockwise at an angle as shown in the figure, slider A in the intermittent disk 2 begins to enter the opening (entrance) of the channel 13 on the drive disk 1. This is also the junction of the arc surface 15 on the drive disk 1 and the first arc segment 131 in the channel 13. In other words, if the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise, slider A will begin to enter the channel 13.
[0076] For the sake of convenience in the following description, Figure 6 In the state shown, the symmetrical center line of the second cam part 12 of the drive disk 1 is defined as the 0° position, and the radial line where the B slider in the intermittent disk 2 is located is defined as the 0° position.
[0077] like Figure 7As shown, when the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise by α1° relative to the 0° position, the A slider in the intermittent disk 2 is driven by the limiting drive of the channel 13 to rotate counterclockwise as shown in the figure, with a rotation angle of β1° relative to the 0° position. At this time, the D slider in the intermittent disk 2 begins to move away from the arc surface 15 of the second cam part 12 due to the deflection of the intermittent disk 2. If the drive disk 1 stops rotating at this time, since the A slider is stuck in the channel 13, the intermittent disk 2 is also stationary and stuck. That is to say, whether the intermittent disk 2 rotates depends entirely on whether the drive disk 1 is rotating, and it is completely controlled by the drive disk 1.
[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, when the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise to α2°, the intermittent disk 2 will rotate counterclockwise to β2°. At this time, the A slider begins to approach the recess of the reversing section 132, and the toothed part 31 and the toothed part 32 also begin to approach each other.
[0079] like Figure 9 As shown, when the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise to position α3°, the intermittent disk 2 rotates counterclockwise to position β3°. At this point, the toothed portion 31 and the toothed portion 32 are in contact and driving state. Afterward, the drive of the intermittent disk 2 by the drive disk 1 will change from the channel 13 driving the slider 21 to the toothed portion 32 engaging and driving the toothed portion 31. It is important to note that the toothed portion 31 and the toothed portion 32 of the connecting part have two main purposes: first, to increase the accuracy of the transmission; and second, to improve the stability of the transmission. Specifically, if there were no connecting part, when the drive disk 1 and the intermittent disk 2 are in contact... Figures 9-11 At the indicated position, slider 21 begins to approach and reach or leave the recess of the deflection section 132. Since the actual manufacturing dimensions of the channel 13 width are slightly larger than the outer diameter of slider 21, there is a small gap between them. Therefore, near the recess of the deflection section 132, due to the turning and changing direction of the deflection section 132, the constraint and limiting ability of the channel 13 on slider 21 weakens. If an external force is applied to shake the intermittent disk 2 at this time, the intermittent disk 2 will wobble significantly, which obviously reduces the motion accuracy of the intermittent disk 2. Secondly, near the recess of the deflection section 132, due to the turning and changing direction of the deflection section 132, when slider 21 passes through this recess during its movement, a sudden change in the direction of force will occur. That is to say, slider 21 from... Figure 6After the inlet shown enters the channel 13, the slider 21 is first rotated by the force of the first curved surface 1311 of the first arc segment 131 until the slider 21 reaches the recess of the reversing segment 132. After that, when the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise, the slider 21 will begin to pass the recess of the reversing segment 132. Then, the second curved surface 1331 of the second arc segment 133 drives the slider 21 to rotate the intermittent disk 2. That is to say, the force direction of the slider 21 changes suddenly at the recess of the reversing segment 132, which will produce a violent impact, especially under heavy load. In this case, the drive disk 1 cannot make a continuous and stable driving motion on the intermittent disk 2. The toothed part 31 and the toothed groove part 32 of the connecting part are designed to ensure the continuous and stable driving of the intermittent disk 2 by the drive disk 1.
[0080] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise to the α4° and α5° positions, and the intermittent disk 2 rotates counterclockwise to the β4° and β5° positions. During this process, the toothed part 31 and the toothed part 32 are always in contact and driving state until the toothed part 31 and the toothed part 32 disengage from each other and are re-transferred to the channel 13 to drive the slider 21.
[0081] like Figure 12 As shown, the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise to position α6°, and the intermittent disk 2 rotates counterclockwise to position β6°. At this time, the A slider in the intermittent disk 2 moves to another opening (exit) of the channel 13. This is also the junction of the arc surface 15 of the second cam part 12 and the second arc segment 133. That is to say, if the drive disk 1 continues to rotate clockwise, the A slider will be freed from the constraint and drive of the channel 13. At the same time, the B bearing on the intermittent disk 2 begins to fit against the arc surface 15 of the second cam part 12, thereby continuing to constrain and restrict the free rotation of the intermittent disk 2.
[0082] like Figure 13 As shown, drive disk 1 is composed of Figure 12 When the state shown continues to rotate clockwise, because there is no longer a driving force of the channel 13 on the slider 21, and under the constraint and limiting effect of the arc surface 15 on sliders A and B, the intermittent disk 2 remains stationary until the driving disk 1 rotates to the position shown. Figure 6 The body position is shown, and then the aforementioned action process is repeated, thereby realizing the transmission that drives the continuous rotation of the drive disk 1 while driving the intermittent disk 2 to perform intermittent motion.
[0083] like Figure 14As shown, a seaweed processing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head claw chain assembly 6, a curtain frame 7, a large box feather chain assembly 84, a transmission device 100, and a frame. The head claw chain assembly 6 is used to transport the curtain frame 7, which can carry seaweed material. The large box feather chain assembly 84 is connected to the head claw chain assembly 6 to transfer the curtain frame 7. The transmission device 100 is the transmission device 100 of any of the above embodiments. The first spindle 4 of the transmission device 100 is connected to the large box feather chain assembly 84, and the second spindle 5 of the transmission device 100 is connected to the head claw chain assembly 6. The head claw chain assembly 6, the large box feather chain assembly 84, and the transmission device 100 are all mounted on the frame.
[0084] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the seaweed processing equipment 10 is designed with a structure in which the transmission device 100, the slide block 21, and the connecting component 3 cooperate. This not only allows the rotation of the intermittent disk 2 to be completely controlled by the drive disk 1 to ensure the working reliability of the transmission device 100, but also enables the drive disk 1 to continuously and stably drive the intermittent disk 2 to perform intermittent motion. Therefore, compared with related technologies, the seaweed processing equipment 10 using this transmission device 100 has improved running stability and reliability, low operating noise, and can achieve the purpose of speed increase and efficiency improvement.
[0085] Specifically, the curtain frame 7 is not limited to a planar frame welded with steel bars. Curtains are installed on the curtain frame 7, and these curtains serve as carriers for the seaweed material during the production and processing of seaweed, such as seaweed cake making, dehydration, and drying. Both the first spindle 4 and the second spindle 5 in the transmission device 100 can be pivotally connected to the frame.
[0086] It should be noted that the seaweed processing equipment 10 is a complete set of equipment used to process freshly harvested seaweed raw materials into dried seaweed sheets through processes such as washing, foreign object sorting, chopping, concentration adjustment, cake making, cake dehydration, drying and shaping, sheet peeling, grading and packaging. For the main unit, it includes functional sections such as washing curtain, cake making, water absorption, dehydration, curtain 7 handover, drying, and seaweed peeling. The mechanical actions of the aforementioned functional sections are completed by the combined drive of the machine head claw chain 63 and the large box feather chain 84. Moreover, there is a requirement for motion coordination between the machine head claw chain 63 and the large box feather chain 84 (i.e., the feather chain 84 (drying box chain) of the seaweed processing unit makes continuous movement, while driving the machine head claw chain 63 to make intermittent movement), so as to accurately complete the handover of the curtain 7 components from the machine head to the large box and from the large box to the machine head.
[0087] like Figure 14As shown, in some embodiments, the machine head claw chain assembly 6 includes a first sprocket 61 and a second sprocket 62. The first sprocket 61 is pivotally connected to the frame, and the second sprocket 62 is sleeved on the second spindle 5 and is connected to the first sprocket 61 via a claw chain 63. In other words, the second sprocket 62 is coaxially fixedly installed on the second spindle 5 and can rotate together with the intermittent wheel. The claw chain 63 is sleeved on the second sprocket 62 and the first sprocket 61 to realize the transmission between the two.
[0088] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the machine head claw chain assembly 6 further includes chain claws 64. The chain claws 64 are mounted on the claw chain 63 and are adapted to engage the curtain frame 7. That is, the chain claws 64 are used to hold the curtain frame 7 to drive the curtain frame 7 to make displacement movements, ensuring the reliability of the transport of the curtain frame 7. There are multiple chain claws 64, which are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the claw chain 63, and the distance between any two adjacent chain claws 64 is greater than the length of the curtain frame 7.
[0089] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the seaweed processing equipment 10 further includes a third sprocket 91 and a fourth sprocket 92. The third sprocket 91 is sleeved on the first spindle 4, and the fourth sprocket 92 is pivotally mounted on the frame and is connected to the third sprocket 91 via a transition chain 93. The fourth sprocket 92 is connected to the large box feather chain 84 assembly 8, so that the third sprocket 91, the fourth sprocket 92 and the transition chain 93 cooperate to form a transition assembly, which transmits the continuous rotation of the first spindle 4 to the large box feather chain 84 assembly 8, so as to drive the large box feather chain 84 assembly 8 to rotate synchronously.
[0090] like Figure 14 As shown, in some embodiments, the large box feather chain 84 assembly 8 includes a fifth sprocket 81, a sixth sprocket 82, and a feather chain rod 83. The fifth sprocket 81 is coaxially connected to the fourth sprocket 92. The sixth sprocket 82 is pivotally mounted on the frame and is connected to the fifth sprocket 81 via the feather chain 84. The feather chain rod 83 is mounted on the feather chain 84 and protrudes from the feather chain 84. There are multiple feather chain rods 83, which are spaced apart along the conveying direction of the feather chain 84. Any two adjacent feather chain rods 83 and the feather chain 84 together define a receiving groove 85 for accommodating the curtain frame 7, so as to receive the curtain frame 7 driven by the claw chain 63, and to transfer the curtain frame 7 that has been dried on the feather chain 84 back to the claw chain 63.
[0091] Specifically, the first sprocket 61 and the sixth sprocket 82 can be arranged horizontally close to each other in the left-right direction in the figure, so that when the curtain frame 7 moves to the left from the claw chain 63 and approaches the feather chain bar 83, it will gradually enter the receiving groove 85 (i.e., V-shaped opening) formed by the adjacent feather chain bar 83.
[0092] The working principle and process of this seaweed processing equipment 10 will now be explained in detail, based on its specific structure:
[0093] On the one hand: Drive disk 1 performs actions under the drive of external power, such as Figure 14 The continuous clockwise rotation shown drives the intermittent disk 2 to perform the following actions via the channel 13 and slider 21: Figure 14 The intermittent counter-clockwise movement shown means that as drive disc 1 rotates one revolution, drive intermittent disc 2 to deflect at a certain angle, then remain stationary for a period of time, and this cycle repeats. Figure 12 As shown, when the drive disk 1 rotates within the α6° angle range, the intermittent disk 2 will rotate counterclockwise to β6°. Then, during the remaining 360°-α6° rotation of the drive disk 1, the intermittent disk 2 remains stationary. Clearly, by changing the length of the channel 13, the size of the α6 angle can be changed, allowing the intermittent disk 2 to achieve different intermittent ratios, i.e., the ratio of the moving period to the stationary period, thus satisfying the optimized design of the motion law of the seaweed processing unit. For the four-head (four sliders 21) intermittent disk 2 shown in the figure, for every revolution of the drive disk 1, the intermittent disk 2 rotates 90°.
[0094] On the other hand, the continuously rotating drive disc 1 drives the feather chain 84 to rotate or move through the third sprocket 91, the transition chain 93, the fourth sprocket 92 and the fifth sprocket 81. When used in a single stepper unit, it is usually designed so that when the drive disc 1 rotates one revolution, the feather chain rod 83 deflects one working position, that is, when the drive disc 1 rotates one revolution, one curtain frame 7 is connected. When used in a double stepper unit, it is usually designed so that when the drive disc 1 rotates one revolution, the feather chain rod 83 deflects two working positions, that is, when the drive disc 1 rotates one revolution, two curtain frames 7 are connected (adjacent feather chain rods 83 only run into one curtain frame 7 at a time).
[0095] On another front: the intermittently moving disc 2 drives the claw chain 63 to rotate (move) intermittently via the first sprocket 61, sequentially feeding the curtain frame 7 into the inverted V-shaped opening formed by the feather chain rod 83, thus realizing the transfer process of the curtain frame 7 from the claw chain 63 to the feather chain 84. The aforementioned transfer process is dynamic, that is, during the process of the curtain frame 7 entering the V-shaped opening of the feather chain rod 83, the feather chain 84 moves continuously, while the claw chain 63 moves intermittently. This is to meet the needs of the laver processing unit for operations such as cake making and dehydration. These operations can only be carried out when the curtain frame 7 is stationary, which is the fundamental reason why the laver processing unit must use the intermittent transmission device 100.
