[0020] Example: An online shaping device for a food production line, such as... Figures 1-6As shown, the structure includes a support frame 1, a conveying mechanism, and a molding mechanism. Multiple support frames 1 have mounting plates a2 welded to their top front and rear sides. Multiple crossbeams 21, used to enhance structural stability, are welded and fixed between two mounting plates a2 at intervals. Three rotating shafts a22 are rotatably connected between two mounting plates a2 at intervals. Two pulley assemblies a23 are spaced apart between the left and middle shafts a22, and two pulley assemblies b24 are spaced apart between the right and middle shafts a22. Servo motors a25 are bolted to the middle and right sides of the front mounting plate a2. The output shaft ends of the two servo motors a25 are fixedly connected to the front ends of adjacent rotating shafts a22. Two support plates 26 are bolted to the opposing sidewalls of the two mounting plates a2 at intervals. The pulley assemblies a23 and b24... Each of the 24 components consists of two pulleys and a conveyor belt wound between the two pulleys. The pulleys are fixedly mounted on three rotating shafts a22. The support plate 26 is used to support the conveyor belt to prevent deformation of its middle part. Two feeding ports are opened alternately on the left side of the front mounting plate a2. A feeding device 27 for transporting the baking tray is provided near each of the two feeding ports. The feeding device 27 is composed of a common conveying mechanism, so it will not be described in detail. The feeding ports and the matching feeding devices can be set to two or more to meet the requirements of different workstations. A conveying mechanism for transporting the baking tray from the feeding device 27 to the two pulley assemblies a23 is provided between the bottom of the two mounting plates a2. A molding mechanism for molding and shaping the products on the baking tray is provided between the top right sides of the two mounting plates a2.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conveying mechanism includes a mounting frame a31, a sliding plate 32, a U-shaped lifting plate 33, an electric push rod a34, a rotating shaft b35, a pulley assembly c36, and a servo motor b37. The mounting frame a31 is welded and fixed between the bottom of the two mounting plates a2 near the two inlets. Sliding plates 32 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the mounting frame. A U-shaped lifting plate 33 is bolted between the tops of the two sliding plates 32. An electric push rod a34 is bolted to the lower side of the mounting frame. The telescopic rod end of the electric push rod a34... The part is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped lifting plate 33. The front and rear sides of the U-shaped lifting plate 33 are rotatably connected to the rotating shafts b35. Two pulley assemblies c36 are arranged at intervals between the two rotating shafts b35. The pulley assembly c36 consists of two pulleys and a conveyor belt wound between the two pulleys. The two pulleys are fixedly mounted on the two rotating shafts b35 respectively. A servo motor b37 is bolted to the right side of the U-shaped lifting plate 33. The output shaft of the servo motor b37 is fixedly connected to the right end of the adjacent rotating shaft b35.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the molding mechanism includes a mounting bracket b41, a fixing plate 42, guide rods 43, a connecting plate 44, a cylinder 45, a molding plate 46, a mounting box 47, an infrared transmitter 48, and a receiver 49. The mounting bracket b41 is welded and fixed between the top right sides of the two mounting plates a2. A fixing plate 42 is welded and fixed to the upper part of the mounting bracket b41. Four guide rods 43 are slidably connected to the fixing plate 42 at intervals. The lower ends of the four guide rods 43 are welded and fixed to the connecting plate 44. A cylinder 45 is bolted to the top of the fixing plate 42. The cylinder 45... The plug rod passes through the fixing plate 42, and its end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 44. The bottom of the connecting plate 44 is detachably fixed with a molding plate 46 by bolts. The molding plate 46 can be replaced to meet the molding requirements of different products. Both mounting plates have openings on their right sides. Both mounting plates are fixed with mounting boxes 47 by bolts near the openings. An infrared transmitter 48 is fixed through the rear side wall of the front mounting box 47 by bolts. A receiver 49 is fixed through the front side wall of the rear mounting box 47, corresponding to the infrared transmitter 48, by bolts.
[0023] First, the staff sets up the two feeding devices 27 near the two inlets and starts the external controller. The controller then starts the two servo motors a25 to power the conveying function of the pulley assemblies a23 and b24. The baked products are placed on the baking tray and then conveyed by the feeding devices 27. When the baking tray is conveyed by the feeding devices 27 to a position near the inlet, the electric push rod a34 is activated, pushing the U-shaped lifting plate 33 upward, causing the pulley assembly c36 to rise to a height that can fit against the bottom of the baking tray. As the feeding devices 27 continue to convey, the baking tray moves to... The baking tray is placed on the pulley assembly c36 and eventually blocked by the mounting plate a2 behind it. At this time, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod a34 retracts, causing the pulley assembly c36 to descend, so that the baking tray lands on top of the two pulley assemblies a23. Then, the pulley assembly a23 transports the baking tray to the right to the top of the pulley assembly b24. The pulley assembly b24 then drives the baking tray to move to the right. When the baking tray blocks the infrared light emitted by the infrared emitter 48, the receiver 49 no longer receives the infrared light and sends this signal to the external controller. As the pulley assembly b24 continues to transport, the baking tray moves to a position directly below the molding plate 46. At this time, the external controller, through the cooperation of infrared transmitter 48 and receiver 49, detects that the baking tray has moved to the current position, shuts down the servo motor a25, and simultaneously starts the cylinder 45. The piston rod of the cylinder 45 extends, pushing the connecting plate 44 downward, which in turn drives the molding plate 46 downward to fit against the baking tray. During the fitting process, the molding plate 46 squeezes and shapes the product in the baking tray. After the shaping is completed, the piston rod of the cylinder 45 retracts, driving the molding plate 46 to return to its original position, in preparation for shaping the product on the next baking tray. The baking tray after shaping is then conveyed to the right by the pulley assembly b24 until it leaves the device. An automatic conveyor line can be connected here for in-line control.
[0024] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a sliding rod 51, a clamping plate 52, and an electric push rod b53. Two sliding rods 51 are slidably connected at intervals on the side walls of the two mounting boxes 47 that are close to each other. A clamping plate 52 is welded and fixed between the ends of two adjacent sliding rods 51 near the crossbeam 21. An electric push rod b53 is installed in each of the two mounting boxes 47 by bolts. The telescopic rods of the two electric push rods b53 pass through the side walls of the adjacent mounting boxes 47 and are fixedly connected to the adjacent clamping plates 52 respectively.
[0025] When the baking tray moves directly below the molding plate 46, the external controller activates two electric push rods b53. The telescopic rods of the two electric push rods b53 extend synchronously. Under the guidance of the sliding rod 51, they push the two clamping plates 52 to move closer to each other, clamping and fixing the baking tray to prevent it from shifting.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a baffle plate 61 and a pad plate 62. The baffle plate 61 is fixedly connected to the left side of the U-shaped lifting plate 33 by bolts, and the pad plate 62 is fixedly connected to the left side of the baffle plate 61. The pad plate 62 is made of plastic material to prevent the baking tray from having a rigid collision with the baffle plate 61.
[0027] By setting up the baffle plate 61, when the electric push rod a34 pushes the U-shaped lifting plate 33 upward to allow the pulley assembly c36 to receive the baking tray from the feeding device 27, the baffle plate 61 moves upward with the U-shaped lifting plate 33 to block other baking trays from the left side and prevent baking tray collision and blockage.
[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, it also includes mounting plates b71 and transition rollers 72. Mounting plates b71 are welded and fixed to the front mounting plate a2 near the two feed inlets. Two transition rollers 72 are fixedly connected to the top of the two mounting plates b71 at intervals.
[0029] When the baking tray moves from the feeding device 27 to the pulley assembly c36, the transition roller 72 supports the baking tray to prevent the front end of the baking tray from tilting up, so that its rear end can make contact with the pulley assembly a23 in advance.
[0030] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent substitutions made within the principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
