Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steamed bun production technology, specifically to a steamed bun feeding device with a pushing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The process of placing the steamed buns into the steamer involves quickly sending trays filled with buns into the various racks of the steamer. The steamer racks are typically designed with multiple layers to steam a large number of buns simultaneously to meet production demands. Traditionally, this method relies on manual operation, where workers manually move the trays one by one into the steamer racks. This method is prone to causing burns to workers' hands due to the high temperature of the steamer, increasing safety hazards. Furthermore, during manual operation, uneven force or time constraints can cause the trays to become misaligned or tilted when placed into the steamer, affecting the arrangement of the buns and the steaming effect.
[0003] Therefore, a device for feeding steamed buns into a steamer with a pushing mechanism is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical defects. Utility Model Content

Multiple sets of partitions are vertically arranged within the movable frame, and trays are placed on the top of each partition. Grooves are machined on both sides of each partition, and push plates are movably connected within the grooves. A pushing mechanism is installed at the bottom end of the push plate on the right side. The pushing mechanism includes a mounting base fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom end of the partition. A screw is movably connected to the mounting base, and a threaded block is movably sleeved on the outside of the screw. The threaded block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the push plate on the right side. A side frame is fixedly connected to the right side of the movable frame, and a servo motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side frame. A rotating column is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. Multiple sets of active steering gears are installed at equal intervals at the rotating column. A horizontal shaft is fixedly sleeved on the left side of each active steering gear set, and a driven steering gear set is installed between the horizontal shaft and the front end of the screw.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a steamer device for placing buns into a steamer with a pushing mechanism, comprising a movable frame 1 and partitions 3. Multiple sets of partitions 3 are vertically arranged inside the movable frame 1, with trays 2 placed at the top of each partition 3. Grooves 6 are machined on both sides of each partition 3, and push plates 7 are movably connected within the grooves 6. A pushing mechanism is installed at the bottom of the push plate 7 on the right side. The pushing mechanism includes a mounting base 24 fixedly connected to the right side of the bottom of the partition 3. A screw 19 is movably connected to the mounting base 24, and a threaded block 14 is movably sleeved on the outside of the screw 19. The threaded block 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 7 on the right side. A side frame 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the frame 1. A servo motor 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side frame 5. A rotating column 23 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 15. Multiple sets of active steering gear sets 22 are installed at equal intervals at the rotating column 23. A horizontal shaft 21 is fixedly sleeved on the left side of the active steering gear set 22. A driven steering gear set 20 is installed between the horizontal shaft 21 and the front end of the screw 19. The number of horizontal shafts 21 is equal to that of the partition 3. The horizontal shafts 21 are perpendicular to the rotating column 23. The driven steering gear set 20 and the active steering gear set 22 are each composed of two sets of meshing bevel gears. The horizontal shaft 21 is movably mounted on the left side wall of the side frame 5.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the staff places the tray 2 on each set of partitions 3. The partitions 3 are located between the limiting strips 4, with their bottom sides suspended in the slot 6. The front edge abuts against the push plate 7. When the pushing mechanism is started, the power is transmitted to the active steering gear set 22 through the rotating column 23, and then the screw 19 is rotated through the torque. The threaded block 14, which is fixedly connected to the push plate 7, slides outside the screw 19, pushing the tray 2 along the slot 6 into the open steamer. The pushing of the push plate 7 ensures that the tray 2 is accurately delivered into the corresponding shelf of the steamer, without the need for manual operation.
[0025] Each push plate 7 is set in a set within the plate groove 6. A guide structure is installed at the bottom of the push plate 7 on the left side. The guide structure includes a track 18 fixedly connected to the left side wall of the movable frame 1. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push plate 7 on the left side of the push plate 7. A guide rod 10 is welded to the bottom of the fixing plate 16. A guide wheel 17 is installed on the left side of the guide rod 10. The guide wheel 17 and the track 18 form a rolling connection. Small wheels 25 are installed on both sides of the push plate 7. The small wheels 25 and the inner side wall of the plate groove 6 form a rolling connection. Five sets of partition plates 3 are vertically arranged. Limit strips 4 are welded to both sides of the top of each set of partition plates 3.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, when the push plate 7 in each set of plate slots 6 is pushed, the small wheels 25 on both sides of it roll on the inner wall of the plate slot 6 to ensure that the push plate 7 is pushed smoothly. At the same time, when the pushing mechanism is in motion, the guide wheel 17 at the guide rod 10 rolls along the inner wall of the track 18 to play a guiding role, so that the pallet 2 is balanced by force when pushed, and avoids tipping or deviation.
[0027] A connecting assembly is installed between the push plates 7. The connecting assembly includes two sets of connecting rods 11 welded to one side of the push plate 7. Connecting strips 13 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower parts of the connecting rods 11. The connecting strips 13 and the connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected by fixing screws 12. Bottom wheels 9 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the movable frame 1. Handles 8 are fixed on both sides of the front end of the movable frame 1.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the left and right sets of push plates 7 are connected by a connecting rod 11. The connecting rod 11 is fixed to the connecting strip 13 by a fixing screw 12. When it is necessary to inspect a certain set of push or guide components, the fixing screw 12 can be easily removed to release the fixation.
[0029] Working principle: The staff places the tray 2 on each set of partitions 3. The partitions 3 are located between the limiting strips 4, with their bottom sides suspended in the slots 6. The front edge abuts against the push plate 7. When the pushing mechanism is started, the power is transmitted to the active steering gear set 22 through the rotating column 23, and then the screw 19 is rotated through the torque. The threaded block 14, which is fixedly connected to the push plate 7, slides outside the screw 19, pushing the tray 2 along the slots 6 into the open steamer. The pushing of the push plate 7 ensures that the tray 2 is accurately delivered into the corresponding shelf of the steamer. When the push plate 7 in each set of slots 6 is pushed, the small wheels 25 on both sides of the push plate 7 roll on the inner wall of the slot 6 to ensure that the push plate 7 is pushed smoothly. At the same time, during the movement of the pushing mechanism, the guide wheel 17 at the guide rod 10 rolls along the inner wall of the track 18 to play a guiding role, so that the tray 2 is balanced by force when pushed, avoiding tipping or deviation, and realizing that multiple sets of trays 2 are delivered into the steamer at a uniform speed and synchronously.
