Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of noodle production basket sorting technology, specifically to a grooved turntable basket sorting and positioning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of "new consumption, large-scale catering, and big health," the convenience of staple foods has become one of the leading directions for the development of the staple food industry. It is also an important strategy to meet people's demand for the health and convenience of staple foods in the post-pandemic era. As a mainstream convenient staple food, frozen cooked noodles are a new type of noodle product that is made by cooking fresh noodles, then quickly freezing and storing them to keep them in the best eating condition. They can be eaten after being quickly reheated.

[0003] In the production process of frozen cooked noodles, the process involves noodle making, cooking, portioning, freezing, and packaging. Since the cooked noodles produced by the noodle making machine are automatically divided into portions, and usually multiple portions are produced simultaneously in one production cycle, each portion needs to be placed into a corresponding number of plastic crates for subsequent portioning and freezing. Therefore, a corresponding crate-separating mechanism is required to separate the crates and supply them to the area below the noodle making machine's discharge port. Thus, the technical problem to be solved in this application is how to propose a grooved turntable crate-separating and positioning mechanism that can smoothly and efficiently separate crates and well meet the current production needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a grooved turntable basket-separating and positioning mechanism that has a simple overall structure, is practical and reliable, has smooth basket separation, and high basket separation efficiency, and can well meet the existing production needs.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a grooved turntable basket-separating and positioning mechanism, including a rotation drive device and at least one set of basket assemblies. The basket-separating assembly includes two sets of basket components arranged symmetrically at intervals. A cavity is formed between the two sets of basket components to accommodate the bread basket and to support the upper edge plate of the bread basket. The rotation drive device is used to drive the two sets of basket components on the basket assembly to rotate synchronously in opposite directions and to lock the upper edge plate of the bread basket during the rotation of the basket components so as to drive the bread basket to move downward and realize the separation and dropping of the basket.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes two parallel and spaced rotating shafts, with the rotation drive device being connected to both rotating shafts. The basket assemblies are in multiple groups, and multiple basket assemblies are provided on both rotating shafts.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotation drive device is mounted on the frame, and both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably mounted on the frame via bearings with mounting seats.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotation drive device includes a drive motor and a transmission assembly. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the protective cover, and the protective cover is fixedly installed on the frame. The motor shaft of the drive motor is connected to one end of both rotating shafts through the transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly is located inside the protective cavity of the protective cover.

[0009] Furthermore, the basket separating assembly includes at least one circular basket separating turntable, and the outer peripheral surface of the basket separating turntable is provided with at least one basket separating groove for engaging the upper edge plate of the basket.

[0010] Furthermore, the opening of the basket-separating groove gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the basket-separating turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, one side of the basket separating groove is a radial side that coincides with the radial direction of the basket separating turntable, and the other side of the basket separating groove is an inclined side that forms an angle with the radial direction of the basket separating turntable. The inclined side and the radial side are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the basket separating turntable, and the bottom side of the basket separating groove is an arc-shaped transition side.

[0012] Furthermore, the basket sorting turntable is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft by a mounting base. The mounting base includes a bushing and a side plate. The side plate is coaxially fixed at one end of the bushing. The basket sorting turntable has mounting holes and is fitted onto the bushing through the mounting holes and locked and fixed with the side plate. The bushing is locked and fixed on the rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes an origin sensing component, which is used to control the rotation drive device to drive the basket assembly to rotate and reset to the origin during initial operation.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes at least one basket placement detection sensor, which is located on one side below the tray cavity. The basket placement detection sensor is used to detect whether the basket has been placed in place after being separated and placed.

[0015] As described above, the grooved turntable basket-separating and locking mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In use, the rotation drive device drives two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the basket-separating turntables on the two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. During the rotation of the basket-separating turntables, the upper edge plates on the left and right sides of the noodle baskets in the support cavity will respectively engage with the basket-separating grooves on the corresponding rotating shafts. During the continuous rotation of the basket-separating turntables, the upper edge plates of the noodle baskets are locked by the basket-separating grooves, and the noodle baskets are moved downwards to achieve separation and falling into the baskets. By using the wheel structure of the basket-separating turntable for basket-separating action, the structure is simple, practical and reliable, and the basket separation is smooth. At the same time, multiple basket-separating components are provided on the rotating shafts to form multiple support cavities between the two rotating shafts, which facilitates the synchronous falling and separation of multiple noodle baskets in each basket-separating action. Its basket-separating efficiency is high, which can well meet the production needs of multiple batches in the existing frozen cooked noodle production process for one production cycle, and improve the overall production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the grooved turntable basket-separating and locking mechanism of this utility model includes a rotation drive device 1 and at least one set of basket assemblies. The basket assembly includes two sets of basket components 3 arranged symmetrically at intervals. A cavity 32 is formed between the two sets of basket components 3 to accommodate a noodle basket 9 and to support the upper edge plate 91 of the noodle basket 9. The rotation drive device 1 is used to drive the two sets of basket components 3 on the basket assembly to rotate synchronously in opposite directions and to lock the upper edge plate 91 of the noodle basket 9 during the rotation of the basket components 3 so as to drive the noodle basket 9 to move downward and realize the separation and dropping of the basket.

[0025] The grooved turntable basket-separating and positioning mechanism also includes two parallel and spaced rotating shafts 2. The rotating drive device 1 is connected to both rotating shafts 2. The basket-separating assembly is in multiple sets. Each of the two rotating shafts 2 is provided with multiple sets of basket-separating components 3. The basket-separating component 3 includes at least one circular basket-separating turntable 31. The outer circumferential surface of the basket-separating turntable 31 is provided with at least one basket-separating groove 311 for locking the upper edge plate 91 of the basket 9.

[0026] The grooved basket-separating and positioning mechanism is located directly below the corresponding basket mechanism. Each support cavity 32 has a corresponding basket cavity above it. The lowest basket 9 within the basket cavity is supported within the support cavity 32. In use, the basket rotation drive device 1 drives two rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thereby driving the basket-separating turntables 31 on the two rotating shafts 2 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. During the rotation of the basket-separating turntables 31, the upper edge plates 91 on the left and right sides of the basket 9 within the support cavity 32 will respectively engage with the basket-separating grooves 311 of the basket-separating turntable 31 on the corresponding rotating shaft 2. During the continuous rotation of 1, the upper edge plate 91 of the noodle basket 9 is engaged by the dividing groove 311 and the noodle basket 9 is driven to move downward to achieve separation and falling into the basket. The dividing action is performed by the wheel structure of the dividing turntable 31, which is simple, practical and reliable, and the dividing is smooth. At the same time, multiple sets of dividing components 3 are provided on the rotating shaft 2 to form multiple supporting cavities 32 between the two rotating shafts 2, which facilitates the simultaneous falling and separation of multiple noodle baskets 9 in each dividing action. The dividing efficiency is high and can well meet the production needs of multiple portions in the existing frozen cooked noodle production process for one production cycle, and improve the overall production efficiency.

[0027] Preferably, the basket 9 is a food-grade PP plastic basket.

[0028] The rotation drive device 1 is mounted on the frame, and both ends of the rotation shaft 2 are rotatably mounted on the frame via bearings 4.

[0029] The rotation drive device 1 includes a drive motor 11 and a transmission assembly 12. The drive motor 11 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the protective cover 13, which is fixedly mounted on the frame. The motor shaft of the drive motor 11 is connected to one end of each of the two rotating shafts 2 via the transmission assembly 12. The transmission assembly 12 is located inside the protective cavity of the protective cover 13, thereby providing a certain degree of protection for the transmission assembly 12. Preferably, the transmission assembly 12 is a gear transmission assembly, which includes a driving gear, a transition gear, and two driven gears. The drive gear is fixedly installed on one end of each of the two drive shafts. The drive gear is fixedly installed on the motor shaft of the drive motor 11. The transition gear is rotatably installed on the transition shaft through a bearing. The transition shaft is fixedly installed on the protective cover 13. One of the driven gears directly meshes with the drive gear, and the other driven gear meshes with the drive gear through the transition gear. Thus, when the drive gear is driven to rotate by the drive motor 11, the two driven gears can be driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, thereby realizing the synchronous reverse rotation of the two rotating shafts 2.

[0030] The opening of the basket-separating groove 311 gradually increases from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the basket-separating turntable 31. Correspondingly, one side of the basket-separating groove 311 is a radial side 3111 that coincides with the radial direction of the basket-separating turntable 31, and the other side of the basket-separating groove 311 is an inclined side 3112 that forms an angle with the radial direction of the basket-separating turntable 31. The inclined side 3112 and the radial side 3111 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the basket-separating turntable 31. The bottom edge of the basket-separating groove 311 is an arc-shaped transition edge 3113, which helps to further ensure the smooth progress of the basket-separating and positioning process.

[0031] The basket sorting turntable 31 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 2 via a mounting base 8. The mounting base 8 includes a bushing 81 and a side plate 82. The side plate 82 is coaxially fixed at one end of the bushing 81. The basket sorting turntable 31 has a mounting hole 312 and is fitted onto the bushing 81 through the mounting hole 312 and locked and fixed with the side plate 82. The bushing 81 is locked and fixed on the rotating shaft 2. In this way, it is convenient to quickly assemble and disassemble the basket sorting turntable 31 and the rotating shaft 2, and at the same time, it is convenient to adjust the axial installation position of the basket sorting turntable 31 on the rotating shaft 2.

[0032] The grooved turntable basket-separating and positioning mechanism also includes an origin-point sensing component 5. This component 5 controls the rotation drive device 1 to rotate and reset the basket-separating component 3 to its origin point during initial operation. Accordingly, the origin-point sensing component 5 includes an origin-point sensor 51 and a sensing iron plate 52 that senses and cooperates with the sensor 51. The origin-point sensor 51 is electrically connected to an external electrical control system. The sensor 51 is an inductive proximity sensor and is fixedly mounted on a bracket 53. The bracket 53 is fixedly mounted on the... On the outside of the protective cover 13, the protective cover 13 is provided with a through hole 131 corresponding to the origin sensing sensor 51. The sensing iron plate 52 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the transition gear. In this way, when the equipment is initially working, the basket sorting turntable 31 can rotate under the drive of the basket rotation drive device 1. When the origin sensing sensor 51 senses the sensing iron plate 52, it will cause the basket sorting turntable 31 to stop rotating, thereby making the basket sorting turntable 31 in an accurate basket sorting and positioning position, so that the basket 9 can be smoothly sorted and positioned in the future.

[0033] The grooved turntable basket-separating and positioning mechanism also includes at least one basket placement detection sensor 6. Preferably, the basket placement detection sensor 6 is a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor. The basket placement detection sensor 6 is used to detect whether the basket 9 is in place after separation and placement. The number of basket placement detection sensors 6 is consistent with the number of basket-separating assemblies and corresponds one-to-one. The basket placement detection sensor 6 is located on one side below the support cavity 32 and is fixedly installed on the cross frame 7. The cross frame 7 is fixedly installed on the machine frame. In this way, when the basket 9 is separated and placed, if the basket placement detection sensor 6 detects the presence of the basket 9, it means that the basket 9 has not been placed in place. The basket 9 may be tilted or in other states. At this time, an alarm will be generated to remind the production personnel to handle it in time to ensure the smooth separation of baskets. When the basket 9 is separated and placed, if the basket placement detection sensor 6 does not detect the presence of the basket 9, it means that the basket 9 has been placed in place, and the basket-separating action will continue.

[0034] The number of basket-separating assemblies 3 on the rotating shaft 2 is 1-20 sets, evenly spaced along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. Correspondingly, the number of basket-separating assemblies 3 on the rotating shaft 2 can be set according to actual production needs, such as 3 sets, 6 sets, 9 sets, 12 sets, or 16 sets. In this embodiment, the number of basket-separating assemblies 3 is 6 sets, which facilitates the synchronous separation and dropping of 6 baskets 9 each time. Correspondingly, the number of basket dropping position detection sensors 6 is also 1-20. Each set of basket-separating assemblies 3 includes 1-3 basket-separating turntables 31. In this embodiment... Each set of the sorting basket assembly 3 includes two sorting basket turntables 31, that is, two sorting basket turntables 31 are provided on both sides of the basket 9. During the sorting basket positioning process, in order to more stably support and hold the upper edge plate 91 of the basket 9, and to make the basket 9 stably placed in the support cavity 32. The outer circumferential surface of the sorting basket turntable 31 is provided with 1-3 sorting basket grooves 311 and evenly arranged along its circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the number of sorting basket grooves 311 is 2. In this way, when the sorting basket turntable 31 rotates half a circle, one sorting action can be realized, thereby further improving the sorting basket efficiency.

[0035] The above are only some specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
