Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vending machine technology, and in particular to a pizza box handling device. Background Technology

[0002] Vending machines are commonly used equipment in commercial automation. They are not limited by time or location, save manpower, and facilitate transactions, representing a new form of commercial retail, often referred to as 24-hour mini-supermarkets. Furthermore, with market changes, vending machines have evolved into various styles, including those selling items such as pizzas.

[0003] The self-service pizza machine places pizzas in pizza boxes and then stores them in a storage unit for refrigeration or freezing to maintain their quality over a long period. When in use, a conveying device removes the pizza box from the storage unit and sends it to the box-opening device. A conveying mechanism located near the box-opening device removes the pizza from the box and places it into a heating unit for heating. After heating, the pizza is removed from the heating unit and placed back into the pizza box, which is then sent to the dispensing port.

[0004] Existing handling devices, such as Chinese utility model patent applications No. 202410528227.7 and No. 202420917215.9, require a motor or other drive mechanism to control the opening and closing of the material-grabbing mechanism when gripping a pizza box, which results in high cost and complex structure.

[0005] In view of this, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pizza box handling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pizza box handling device, including an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a Z-axis moving mechanism, and a material-grabbing mechanism for gripping pizza boxes, all mounted on the main cabinet of the pizza machine. The Y-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism; the rotating mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism; the Z-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism; and the material-grabbing mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism. The material-grabbing mechanism comprises:

[0008] The pizza box support assembly is slidably mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism and is used to lift the pizza box and limit its movement.

[0009] A limiting component is slidably installed on the material support assembly and cooperates with the material support assembly to limit the position of the pizza box;

[0010] A first guide component is installed on the material support component;

[0011] An elastic component, with one end mounted on the limiting member and the other end slidably mounted on the first guide component, is used to push the limiting member to move toward the pizza box.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the material support assembly includes a bracket and a material support component. The bracket is slidably mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism, the limiting component is slidably mounted on the top of the bracket, and the material support component is mounted on the bracket.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the first end of the material support is installed on the bracket, and the second end of the material support is equipped with a hook, which is used to hook the pizza box from the bottom.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the hook includes an mounting part and a snap-fit ​​part, the snap-fit ​​part is disposed on the top of the mounting part, and the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​part is triangular or trapezoidal.

[0015] In a further technical solution, the first end of the limiting member is installed on the material support assembly, and the second end of the limiting member is installed with a limit switch. The limit switch is electrically connected to the Z-axis moving mechanism. When the second end of the limiting member touches the pizza box, the sensing end of the limit switch touches the pizza box, and the limit switch closes.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the first guide assembly includes a mounting base and a linear bearing. The mounting base is mounted on the material support assembly, the linear bearing is mounted on the mounting base, and the elastic component is slidably mounted on the linear bearing.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the elastic component includes a guide shaft and an elastic element. The elastic element is sleeved on the guide shaft. The first ends of the guide shaft and the elastic element are respectively installed on the limiting member. The second end of the guide shaft is slidably installed on the linear bearing. When the material taking mechanism retracts to the initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism, the second end of the elastic element abuts against the linear bearing.

[0018] In a further technical solution, the Z-axis moving mechanism is also equipped with a fixed seat. When the material handling mechanism retracts to its initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism, the second end of the guide shaft slides on the linear bearing and abuts against the fixed seat.

[0019] In a further technical solution, a second guide component is provided between the material support component and the limiting component. The second guide component includes a guide rail and a slider. The guide rail is installed on the top of the material support component, and the slider is installed on the bottom of the limiting component.

[0039] Example

[0040] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a pizza box handling device includes an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, a rotating mechanism, a Z-axis moving mechanism 1, and a material-grabbing mechanism 2 for gripping pizza boxes 3, all mounted on the main cabinet of the pizza machine. The Y-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the X-axis moving mechanism; the rotating mechanism is mounted on the moving end of the Y-axis moving mechanism; the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 is mounted on the rotating end of the rotating mechanism; and the material-grabbing mechanism 2 is mounted on the moving end of the Z-axis moving mechanism 1. The material-grabbing mechanism 2 comprises: a material-supporting assembly 21, slidably mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, for supporting the pizza box 3 and limiting its position; a limiting member 22, slidably mounted on the material-supporting assembly 21, cooperating with the material-supporting assembly 21 to limit the position of the pizza box 3; a first guide assembly 23, mounted on the material-supporting assembly 21; and an elastic component 24, one end mounted on the limiting member 22 and the other end slidably mounted on the first guide assembly 23, for pushing the limiting member 22 towards the pizza box 3.

[0041] When transporting the pizza box 3, the pizza box 3 is lifted and moved by the material support component 21, and the limiting component 22 is moved toward the pizza box 3 by the elastic component 24. With the cooperation of the material support component 21 and the limiting component 22, the pizza box 3 is clamped and limited. The movement of the elastic component 24 is guided by the first guide component 23, which further enhances the stability of clamping. The structure is simple and the cost is low.

[0042] In a further technical solution, the material support assembly 21 includes a bracket 211 and a material support component 212. The bracket 211 is slidably mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, the limiting component 22 is slidably mounted on the top of the bracket 211, and the material support component 212 is mounted on the bracket 211. The bracket 211 serves as a transfer point for the transmission power, allowing the limiting component 22 and the material support component 212 to move on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 under the drive of the bracket 211. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 uses a motor, a synchronous belt, and a synchronous pulley set, with the bottom of the bracket 211 connected to the synchronous belt. It is understood that in other specific embodiments, the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 can also use a combination of a motor, gear, and rack transmission, or a combination of a motor, lead screw, and nut seat. Since the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 is existing technology, it will not be described in detail here.

[0043] In a further technical solution, the first end of the material support 212 is installed on the bracket 211, and the second end of the material support 212 is equipped with a hook 213, which is used to hook the pizza box 3 from the bottom.

[0044] By using the hook 213, the position of the pizza box 3 can be limited when the material support 212 lifts the pizza box 3. It should be noted that in existing technologies, the pizza box 3 has multiple opening holes at the bottom to allow the opening mechanism to push the opening frame and lift the pizza box 3 lid and pizza. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hook 213 can directly extend into the opening holes at the bottom of the pizza box 3 to hook it. Alternatively, depending on actual needs, a limiting hole corresponding to the material support 212 can be opened at the bottom of the pizza box 3, and the hook 213 can extend into the limiting hole to hook the pizza box 3. In other specific embodiments, the limiting member 22 limits one side of the pizza box 3. If needed, the material support 212 can directly extend to the other side of the pizza box 3 and limit the other side using the hook 213. With the cooperation of the material support 212 and the limiting member 22, both sides of the pizza box 3 are clamped and limited.

[0045] In a further technical solution, the hook 213 includes an mounting part 2131 and a snap-fit ​​part 2132. The snap-fit ​​part 2132 is disposed on the top of the mounting part 2131, and the cross-section of the snap-fit ​​part 2132 is triangular or trapezoidal.

[0046] The snap-fit ​​part 2132 enables the hook 213 to limit the pizza box 3. It should be noted that when the material carrier 212 enters the storage device of the self-service pizza machine to pick up the pizza box 3, the top of the snap-fit ​​part 2132 is lower than the bottom of the pizza box 3. When the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 moves the material carrier 212 to the set position, the Y-axis moving mechanism drives the material picking mechanism 2 to rise a set distance through the rotation mechanism and the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, so that the top of the mounting part 2131 fits against the bottom of the pizza box 3. The snap-fit ​​part 2132 extends into the limiting hole or opening hole at the bottom of the pizza box 3. With the cooperation of the limiting member 22, it clamps and limits the two sides of the pizza box 3 respectively.

[0047] It is understood that in other specific embodiments, before the material carrier 212 enters the storage device of the self-service pizza machine to pick up the pizza box 3, the top position of the mounting part 2131 is lower than or equal to the bottom position of the pizza box 3. When the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 drives the material carrier 212 to move to the set position, the locking part 2132 first lifts up the pizza box 3. After the locking part 2132 enters the limiting hole or opening hole at the bottom of the pizza box 3, the pizza box 3 falls down, and the top of the mounting part 2131 fits against the bottom of the pizza box 3. With the cooperation of the limiting part 22, the material carrier 212 clamps and limits the two sides of the pizza box 3 respectively.

[0048] It should be noted that in other specific embodiments, before the tray 212 enters the storage device of the self-service pizza machine to pick up the pizza box 3, the top of the mounting part 2131 is lower than or equal to the bottom of the pizza box 3. When the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 moves the tray 212 to the set position, the locking part 2132 first lifts the pizza box 3. When the locking part 2132 passes directly through the pizza box 3 and is located on the other side of the pizza box 3, the pizza box 3 falls down, and the top of the mounting part 2131 fits against the bottom of the pizza box 3. The tray 212, in cooperation with the limiting part 22, clamps and limits both sides of the pizza box 3. In this embodiment, the bottom of the pizza box 3 may not have a limiting hole and / or an opening hole.

[0049] In a further technical solution, the first end of the limiting member 22 is installed on the material support assembly 21, and the second end of the limiting member 22 is installed with a limit switch 25. The limit switch 25 is electrically connected to the Z-axis moving mechanism 1. When the second end of the limiting member 22 touches the pizza box 3, the sensing end of the limit switch 25 touches the pizza box 3, and the limit switch 25 closes.

[0050] The limit switch 25 limits the movement of the material-picking mechanism 2. When the limit switch 25 is closed, the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 stops the movement of the material-picking mechanism 2 towards the pizza box 3. It should be noted that although the limit switch 25 can limit the movement of the material-picking mechanism 2, this limitation is only limited to the movement of the material-picking mechanism 2 towards the storage device of the self-service pizza machine. When the material-picking mechanism 2 drives the pizza box 3 into the opening device, the limit switch 25 no longer limits the movement of the material-picking mechanism 2.

[0051] In a further specific embodiment, the limit switch 25 is a spring switch, and the trigger tab 241 of the spring switch is exposed on the limit member 22. The force of the trigger tab 241 moving to touch the trigger point of the spring switch is greater than the force required for the limit member 22 to slide on the material support assembly 21. A limit block 263 is provided on the material support assembly 21, and the limit block 263 is used to restrict the movement of the limit member 22 on the material support assembly 21.

[0052] It should be noted that since the trigger lever 241 contacts the pizza box 3 before the limiting member 22, the limiting member 22 moves backward under the action of the trigger lever 241 until it abuts against the limiting block 263. At this point, the limiting member 22 loses its room to move, and the pizza box 3 gradually approaches the limiting member 22. When the limiting member 22 touches the pizza box 3, the trigger lever 241 also moves and touches the trigger point of the spring switch, thereby stopping the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 from pushing the material picking mechanism 2 and completing the clamping of the pizza box 3.

[0053] In a further technical solution, the first guide component 23 includes a mounting base 231 and a linear bearing 232. The mounting base 231 is mounted on the material support component 21, the linear bearing 232 is mounted on the mounting base 231, and the elastic component 24 is slidably mounted on the linear bearing 232. The linear bearing 232 guides the movement of the elastic component 24, enhancing its stability.

[0054] In a further technical solution, the elastic component 24 includes a guide shaft 241 and an elastic element 242. The elastic element 242 is sleeved on the guide shaft 241. The first ends of the guide shaft 241 and the elastic element 242 are respectively installed on the limiting member 22. The second end of the guide shaft 241 is slidably installed on the linear bearing 232. When the material taking mechanism 2 retracts to the initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, the second end of the elastic element 242 abuts against the linear bearing 232.

[0055] It should be noted that the elastic element 242 in this embodiment is a spring. When the material picking mechanism 2 retracts to the initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, the distance between the mounting base 231 and the limiting member 22 gradually decreases. Since the position of the mounting base 231 is fixed, while the position of the limiting member 22 is slidably mounted on the material support assembly 21, the elastic element 242 will push the limiting member 22 to move towards the pizza box 3, and complete the clamping of the pizza box 3 in cooperation with the material support assembly 21.

[0056] In a further technical solution, the Z-axis moving mechanism 1 is also equipped with a fixed seat 11. When the material taking mechanism 2 retracts to the initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, the second end of the guide shaft 241 slides on the linear bearing 232 and abuts against the fixed seat 11.

[0057] This configuration, through the guide shaft 241, ensures that the elastic element 242 remains within a certain range during contraction, i.e., within the guide shaft 241. This prevents the elastic element 242 from being ejected to one side due to force during contraction, ensuring uniform contraction. When the material handling mechanism 2 retracts to its initial position on the Z-axis moving mechanism 1, the second end of the guide shaft 241 moves on the linear bearing 232 and abuts against the fixed seat 11.

[0058] In a further technical solution, a second guide component 26 is provided between the material support component 21 and the limiting member 22. The second guide component 26 includes a guide rail 261 and a slider 262. The guide rail 261 is installed on the top of the material support component 21, and the slider 262 is installed on the bottom of the limiting member 22. The limiting member 22 is slidably installed on the guide rail 261 via the slider 262.

[0059] The guide component enables the limiting member 22 to move relative to the material support component 21, thereby allowing the limiting member 22 and the material support component 21 to cooperate in clamping the pizza box 3.

[0060] In a further technical solution, the second guide component 26 further includes a limiting block 263, which is installed at the first end of the guide rail 261, and a stop block 27 is installed on the top of the material support component 21, which is located at the second end of the guide rail 261.

[0061] The position of the guide component is limited by the setting of limit block 263 and stop block 27, which is simple in structure and highly practical.
