AI Technical Summary
Existing conveyor systems typically have only one conveyor outlet, resulting in multiple workers having to sort xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) through a single outlet, leading to low sorting efficiency.
Two inclined diversion components and two sorting and conveying mechanisms are set on the conveyor frame. The diversion components form a diversion channel with the inner wall of the conveyor frame. During the conveying process, the containers pass through the diversion channel and enter the sorting and conveying mechanism, enabling multiple workers to sort at the same time.
This improved the efficiency of xiaolongbao sorting, enabling multiple workers to simultaneously sort xiaolongbao in containers located on two sorting conveyor systems, thus increasing overall sorting efficiency.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sorting, and more specifically, to a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) sorting system. Background Technology
[0002] After production, the xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) produced in the food factory need to be transported via a conveyor system. During transportation, the xiaolongbao are sorted manually to remove any defective, deformed, or damaged dumplings, preventing unqualified dumplings from being spilled out. Currently, the xiaolongbao are usually packed into containers and transported together. However, existing conveyor systems typically only have one conveyor outlet, forcing multiple workers to sort the dumplings through only one outlet, which does not improve sorting efficiency and is quite inconvenient.
[0003] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a xiaolongbao sorting system.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) sorting system, including a conveyor frame and a conveyor belt 1 set on the conveyor frame. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor frame. Two diversion components are set on the mounting frame. The two diversion components are inclined and located directly above the conveyor belt 1. Two sorting and conveying mechanisms are set on the side of the conveyor frame near the mounting frame. The same end of the two diversion components away from the sorting and conveying mechanisms is attached to each other. Diversion channels for containers containing xiaolongbao to pass through are formed between the two diversion components and the inner side walls of the conveyor frame. The diversion channels are correspondingly set with the sorting and conveying mechanisms.
[0006] Preferably, the diversion assembly includes a mounting block, a connecting rod, and diversion strips. The mounting block is fixedly connected to the mounting frame. The connecting rod is vertically arranged and its top is fixedly connected to the mounting block. The bottom of the connecting rod is provided with a clamping component for clamping the diversion strips. Both diversion strips are inclined and their ends away from the sorting and conveying mechanism are in contact with each other. The diversion channel is formed between the diversion strips and the inner wall of the conveyor frame.
[0007] Preferably, both of the diverting strips include a fixed part and a rotating part. The two fixed parts are attached to the same end away from the sorting and conveying mechanism, and the two fixed parts are separated from each other at the same end near the sorting and conveying mechanism. The rotating part is rotatably mounted on the end of the fixed part near the sorting and conveying mechanism by an angle adjustment component. The clamping component is used to clamp the fixed part.
[0008] Preferably, the fixed part has a groove at one end near the sorting and conveying mechanism to accommodate the rotation of one end of the rotating part. The angle adjustment assembly includes a rotating shaft, a turntable, and a bolt. The turntable is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the two are coaxially arranged. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the groove. One end of the rotating part is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The top surface of the turntable has a plurality of threaded holes arranged in a ring array. The fixed part has a through hole corresponding to one of the threaded holes. One end of the bolt passes through the through hole and is connected to one of the threaded holes.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a fixed clamping block, a movable clamping block, and a lead screw. The top of the fixed clamping block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The fixed clamping block has a receiving groove for accommodating the rotation of the lead screw. One end of the lead screw is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the receiving groove. The movable clamping block is helically connected to the lead screw. The movable clamping block has an L-shaped cross-section, and one side of the fixed part has a groove for the horizontal part of the movable clamping block to be embedded.
[0010] Preferably, the sorting and conveying mechanism includes a sorting frame and a second conveyor belt disposed on the sorting frame, wherein the sorting frame is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor frame near the mounting frame.
[0011] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This solution sets up an installation frame on the conveyor frame, sets up two diversion components on the installation frame, and installs two sorting and conveying mechanisms on the side of the conveyor frame near the installation frame. The two diversion components are attached to each other at the same end away from the sorting and conveying mechanisms. Workers place containers containing xiaolongbao on the side of the conveyor belt away from the sorting and conveying mechanisms, and the conveyor belt transports multiple containers containing xiaolongbao towards the sorting and conveying mechanisms. During the transport of the containers, they come into contact with the two diversion components and the parts that are attached to them, so that multiple containers can pass through the diversion channels formed between the diversion components and the inner wall of the conveyor frame, and continue to be transported by the conveyor belt until multiple containers are exported from the conveyor frame through the two diversion channels. The containers exported from the two diversion channels are then transported to the two sorting and conveying mechanisms, so that multiple workers can sort the xiaolongbao in the containers located on the two sorting and conveying mechanisms at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of sorting xiaolongbao.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Example:
[0020] Xiaolongbao sorting system, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the system includes a conveyor frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the conveyor frame 1. The conveyor belt 2 transports items on the conveyor frame 1 via rotating rollers and a motor. Two rotating rollers are rotatably mounted on the conveyor frame 1, and the conveyor belt 2 is fitted onto the two rotating rollers. The output end of the motor is welded to one end of one of the rotating rollers. A mounting frame 3 is welded to the top of the conveyor frame 1. The mounting frame 3 has an inverted U-shaped cross-section. Two diversion components 4 are mounted on the mounting frame 3. The two diversion components 4 are inclined and located directly above the conveyor belt 2. Two sorting and conveying mechanisms 5 are mounted on the side of the conveyor frame 1 closest to the mounting frame 3. The ends of the two diversion components 4 away from the sorting and conveying mechanisms 5 are attached to each other. Diversion channels 6 are formed between the two diversion components 4 and the inner side walls of the conveyor frame 1 for containers containing steamed buns to pass through. The diversion channels 6 are correspondingly arranged with the sorting and conveying mechanisms 5. The diversion components 4 include a mounting frame 1 and a motor. The assembly includes a mounting block 401, a connecting rod 402, and a diverting strip 403. The mounting block 401 is welded to the mounting frame 3. The connecting rod 402 is vertically arranged and its top end is welded to the mounting block 401. The bottom of the connecting rod 402 is provided with a clamping component 7 for clamping the diverting strip 403. Both diverting strips 403 are inclined and their ends away from the sorting and conveying mechanism 5 are in contact with each other. The diverting channel 6 is formed between the diverting strip 403 and the inner wall of the conveying frame 1. The sorting and conveying mechanism 5 includes a sorting frame 501 and a second conveyor belt 502 arranged on the sorting frame 501. The sorting frame 501 is welded to the side of the conveying frame 1 near the mounting frame 3. The second conveyor belt 502 conveys items on the sorting frame 501 through a second rotating roller and a second motor. The two second rotating rollers are rotatably mounted on the sorting frame 501, and the second conveyor belt 502 is sleeved on the two second rotating rollers. The output end of the second motor is welded to one end of one of the second rotating rollers.
[0021] Each of the diversion strips 403 includes a fixed part 4031 and a rotating part 4032. The two fixed parts 4031 are attached to each other at the same end away from the sorting and conveying mechanism 5, and the two fixed parts 4031 are separated from each other at the same end near the sorting and conveying mechanism 5. The rotating part 4032 is rotatably mounted on the end of the fixed part 4031 near the sorting and conveying mechanism 5 through the angle adjustment assembly 8. The clamping assembly 7 is used to clamp the fixed part 4031. The end of the fixed part 4031 near the sorting and conveying mechanism 5 has a groove to accommodate the rotation of one end of the rotating part 4032. 9. The angle adjustment assembly 8 includes a rotating shaft 801, a turntable 802, and a bolt 803. The turntable 802 is welded to the rotating shaft 801 and the two are coaxially arranged. The rotating shaft 801 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 9. One end of the rotating part 4032 is welded to the rotating shaft 801. The top surface of the turntable 802 has a plurality of threaded holes 10 arranged in a ring array. The fixing part 4031 has a through hole 11 for corresponding to one of the threaded holes 10. One end of the bolt 803 passes through the through hole 11 and is connected to one of the threaded holes 10.
[0022] The clamping assembly 7 includes a fixed clamping block 701, a movable clamping block 702, and a lead screw 703. The top of the fixed clamping block 701 is welded to the bottom of the connecting rod 402. The fixed clamping block 701 has a receiving groove 12 for accommodating the rotation of the lead screw 703. There is a gap between the lead screw 703 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 12. One end of the lead screw 703 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the receiving groove 12, and the other end of the lead screw 703 protrudes outside the receiving groove 12. The movable clamping block 702 is helically connected to the lead screw 703. The movable clamping block 702 has a screw hole for cooperating with the lead screw 703. The cross-section of the movable clamping block 702 is L-shaped, and a groove 13 for the horizontal part of the movable clamping block 702 to be inserted is provided on one side of the fixed part 4031.
[0023] Multiple containers containing xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) are transported via conveyor belt 2 towards the sorting and conveying mechanism 5. The containers are initially conveyed inside the conveyor frame 1 by conveyor belt 2. During this transport towards the sorting and conveying mechanism 5, the containers come into contact with the fixed portions 4031 of the two diversion bars 403. At this time, the horizontal portion of the moving clamp 702 is embedded in the groove 13, and the fixed portions 4031 are clamped and installed by the clamping assembly 7. The continuous transport via conveyor belt 2 allows the containers to pass through the diversion channels 6 formed between the diversion bars 403 and the inner side walls of the conveyor frame 1. As the containers pass through the diversion channels 6, they sequentially come into contact with the fixed portion 4031 and the rotating portion 4032. At this time, a bolt 803 passes through the through hole 11 and connects to one of the threaded holes 10, preventing the containers from contacting the rotating portion 4032. When the rotating part 4032 rotates, the container, through contact with the fixed part 4031 and the rotating part 4032, can be guided during the transmission process. After passing through the diversion channel 6 and exiting from the conveyor frame 1, the container can fall into the sorting and transmission mechanism 5 for sorting and transmission. At this time, the container falls from the first conveyor belt 2 onto the second conveyor belt 502, so that multiple containers are transported on the two sorting and transmission mechanisms 5 in a direction away from the conveyor frame 1. The containers are also transported by the second conveyor belt 502. At this time, multiple workers can sort and select the xiaolongbao in the containers located on the two sorting and transmission mechanisms 5, so that the transmission outlet of the conveyor frame 1 is changed to sorting xiaolongbao on two sorting and transmission mechanisms 5, which improves the efficiency of sorting xiaolongbao. Afterwards, the unqualified xiaolongbao are picked out from the container, and the remaining container containing qualified xiaolongbao continues to be transported by the second conveyor belt 502 in a direction away from the conveyor frame 1 for subsequent packaging of xiaolongbao.
[0024] When the diverter bar 403 needs to be disassembled for cleaning, the worker holds and rotates one end of the lead screw 703 located outside the receiving groove 12 clockwise. At this time, one end of the lead screw 703 rotates inside the receiving groove 12. When the lead screw 703 rotates clockwise, it can drive the movable clamping block 702 to move away from the fixed clamping block 701 until the horizontal part of the movable clamping block 702 disengages from the groove 13. After the horizontal part of the movable clamping block 702 disengages from the groove 13, the fixed part 4031 of the diverter bar 403 will fall off automatically without contacting the inner wall of the fixed clamping block 701 because the movable clamping block 702 is not clamping it. This makes it convenient for the worker to disassemble the diverter bar 403. Furthermore, the groove 13 can be opened on one side of the fixed part 4031 of the diverter bar 403 of different thicknesses, so that the clamping assembly 7 can be used to clamp some diverter bars 403 of different thicknesses.
[0025] Workers can remove the bolts 803 on one of the diversion bars 403 to disengage it from the through hole 11 and one of the threaded holes 10. Then, they can rotate the rotating part 4032 to make it rotate closer to the rotating part 4032 of the other diversion bar 403. At this time, the distance between the rotating part 4032 and the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1 gradually increases, and one end of the rotating part 4032 rotates in the rotating groove 9 through the rotating shaft 801. When the rotating shaft 801 rotates, it drives the turntable 802 to rotate until the through hole 11 corresponds to another threaded hole 10 on the turntable 802. Then, the bolt 803 passes through the through hole 11 and connects to the other threaded hole 10 corresponding to the through hole 11. At this time, the distance between the rotating part 4032 and the inner wall of the conveyor frame 1 increases, which can be used for the passage of some larger containers.
