Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food equipment technology, and in particular relates to a plating machine. Background Technology
[0002] A food tray arranging machine is a type of mechanical equipment specifically designed for the food processing industry. It is mainly used to automatically arrange food (such as steamed buns, mooncakes, pastries, etc.) on baking trays or other containers. This equipment can reduce direct human contact with food and improve hygiene standards.
[0003] When the existing tray-stacking machine is in use, the clamping device of the equipment picks up the steamed buns on the conveyor belt and places them in the baking tray below. Because the baking tray below is light and empty, when the first row of steamed buns is placed on one end of the baking tray, the other end is easily thrown away, causing the position of the baking tray to shift. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the problem in existing technology where lightweight and empty baking pans can easily cause the other end of the pan to be thrown away when the first row of steamed buns is placed on one end, resulting in the pan shifting in position. The following technical solution is proposed:
[0005] A food tray slab preparation machine includes a main body, a control box, and an auxiliary frame. Several sets of receiving plates are symmetrically installed inside the main body. A conveyor belt is fixedly installed inside the main body. A baking tray is placed above the receiving plates. A second conveying mechanism is installed inside the main body below the baking tray. Fixed columns are symmetrically fixedly installed on the surface of the main body. Both fixed columns are threadedly connected to lead screws. The top ends of both lead screws are fixedly connected to top plates. Several sets of ball bearings are movably installed inside the top plates.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, side plates are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two fixed columns.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a side fixing plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt, and a rotating column is rotatably connected inside the side fixing plate.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a brush is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column, and the brush is in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a limit rod is slidably installed inside the conveyor belt, and one end of the limit rod is inserted into the interior of the rotating column.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a spring is fixedly connected to the other end of the limiting rod, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveyor belt.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] (1) By rotating the screw, the top plate is moved down, thereby stabilizing the baking tray between the second conveying mechanism and the top plate. This prevents the steamed buns from being thrown off one end when they are placed on the empty baking tray, thus ensuring that the running trajectory of the baking tray will not be deviated and that each row of steamed buns on the baking tray is evenly placed.
[0013] (2) This utility model uses the action of a brush to scrape off the dough adhering to the conveyor belt, thereby keeping the surface of the conveyor belt clean and preventing the dough adhering to the surface from contaminating the steamed buns placed later. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0020] Example 1: This utility model provides a plating machine, such as... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the machine includes: a main body 1, a control box 2, and an auxiliary frame 3. Several sets of receiving plates 4 are symmetrically installed inside the main body 1. A conveyor belt 5 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1. A baking tray 6 is placed above the receiving plates 4. A second conveying mechanism 7 is installed inside the main body 1 below the baking tray 6. Existing tray-stacking machines also include a laser sensing device and a robotic gripper installed inside the control box 2. In actual use, a baking tray 6 is placed on each layer of receiving plates 4. Then, the main body 1 operates, causing each layer of receiving plates 4 to move downwards, moving the baking tray 6 above the second conveying mechanism 7. The baking tray 6, falling onto the second conveying mechanism 7, is transported to the auxiliary frame 3. Subsequently, the laser sensing device inside the control box 2 identifies the steamed buns on the conveyor belt 5 and, through the action of the robotic gripper, picks up the steamed buns from the conveyor belt 5 and places them into the baking tray 6 on the auxiliary frame 3, thus... The process of arranging the steamed buns on a plate is based on existing technology and will not be elaborated further. Two fixed posts 8 are symmetrically fixed to the surface of the machine body 1. Each fixed post 8 has a threaded screw 9 connected to its interior. A top plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of each screw 9. Several sets of ball bearings 11 are movably installed inside the top plate 10. Rotating the screw 9 causes the top plate 10 to move downwards, bringing the ball bearings 11 inside the top plate 10 into contact with the top of the baking tray 6. This prevents the other end of the baking tray 6 from being thrown off due to instability when steamed buns are placed on it. Side plates 12 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two fixed posts 8. When the baking tray 6 moves from the second conveying mechanism 7 to the auxiliary frame 3, the side plates 12 contact the side of the baking tray 6, ensuring the trajectory of the baking tray 6 and preventing it from deviating when it reaches the auxiliary frame 3.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a side fixing plate 13 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the conveyor belt 5. A rotating column 14 is rotatably connected inside the side fixing plate 13. A brush 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating column 14. The brush 15 is in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor belt 5, so that when the conveyor belt 5 is working, the brush 15 comes into contact with the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt 5, thereby scraping off the small particles of dough adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 5 by the brush 15, ensuring that the surface of the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt 5 is always in a clean state.
[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting rod 16 is slidably installed inside the conveyor belt 5, and one end of the limiting rod 16 is inserted into the interior of the rotating column 14. The other end of the limiting rod 16 is fixedly connected to a spring 17, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveyor belt 5. When the brush 15 cleans the conveyor belt 5, the rotating column 14 can be fixed on the machine body 1 by the action of the limiting rod 16 to prevent it from rotating.
[0023] Working principle: When in use, the operator rotates the screw 9 according to the specifications and dimensions of the baking tray 6, causing it to move the top plate 10 towards the baking tray 6. This causes the ball bearing 11 to contact the top of the baking tray 6, thus limiting the baking tray 6 between the conveyor belt 5 and the top plate 10. This prevents the lighter end of the empty baking tray 6 from being thrown off due to its top-heavy design when the steamed buns are placed on it. This ensures that each row of steamed buns in the baking tray 6 is evenly placed, preventing the steamed buns on the baking tray 6 from sticking together due to offset or tilt.
[0024] When the conveyor belt 5 is working, the conveyor belt on the conveyor belt 5 slides into contact with the brush 15, thereby scraping off the dough adhering to the conveyor belt. The scraped dough gathers on one side of the brush 15, and then the limit rod 16 is stretched to pull it out of the rotating column 14, so that the rotating column 14 is no longer fixed. By driving the rotating column 14, the brush 15 is rotated, and the dough gathered on the conveyor belt is removed and cleaned in a concentrated manner to avoid contamination of the steamed buns placed on the conveyor belt later.
[0025] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
