Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production and conveying, and in particular to an automatic tray sorting machine and an anti-stacking tray conveying device for biscuit production. Background Technology

[0002] In biscuit production, biscuit trays, as crucial containers for holding biscuits, are vital for transporting them between different production stages. Traditional biscuit tray transport relies primarily on manual sorting and placement, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to tray stacking when placed by machine. This not only hinders subsequent production processes, causing equipment jams or even damage, but can also deform and damage the biscuit trays, increasing production costs. Furthermore, manual sorting makes it difficult to ensure the consistent quantity and orientation of biscuit trays during each transport, hindering the accurate grasping and operation of subsequent automated production equipment and impacting the automation level and efficiency of the entire biscuit production line. Therefore, developing a conveying device that can automatically sort biscuit trays and prevent stacking is of significant practical importance. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic tray sorting machine and an anti-stacking tray conveying device for biscuit production, including a sorting convex plate and a conveying device. The conveying device includes a conveyor belt, and guide plates are provided on both sides above the conveyor belt. The front part of the guide plate is arc-shaped and tapered, and the rear parts of the two guide plates are parallel to each other. The width of the rear part of the guide plate is the same as the width of the biscuit tray. An anti-stacking tray device is provided above the front part of the guide plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the anti-stacking device includes a screw mechanism vertically arranged on the outside of the conveyor belt. The slider of the screw mechanism has a horizontally arranged protruding rod extending into the inside of the conveyor belt. A guide rod is arranged on the side of the protruding rod opposite to the slider. The guide rod is arranged along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt and decreases from the front to the rear until it is horizontal.

[0006] Furthermore, a sorting protrusion is provided at the rear of the conveyor belt. The sorting protrusion is arranged along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt and biased towards one side of the conveyor belt. The guide plate on the other side of the conveyor belt has an opening, and a downwardly inclined sliding plate is provided at the opening.

[0007] Furthermore, the front part of the sorting convex plate is arc-shaped and tangent to the plane of the conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the biscuit tray has a guide groove corresponding to the position of the sorting protrusion.

[0009] Furthermore, the four corners of the biscuit tray are rounded.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This invention enables the automatic sorting and conveying of biscuit trays, improving production efficiency. Compared to traditional manual sorting methods, it significantly reduces production time and meets the needs of large-scale production.

[0012] By installing an anti-stacking device above the front of the guide plate, and utilizing the cooperation of the screw mechanism and the extension rod, as well as the guiding effect of the guide rod, the stacking of biscuit trays during the conveying process is effectively prevented, avoiding equipment jamming and damage caused by stacking trays, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0013] The sorting convex plate at the rear of the conveyor belt works in conjunction with the guide groove at the bottom of the cookie tray to separate the cookie trays from both sides. Simultaneously, the sliding plate design allows the sorted-out defective cookie trays to slide to a designated location for easy collection and processing.

[0014] The width of the rear part of the guide plate is the same as the width of the cookie tray, ensuring the directional consistency of the cookie tray during the conveying process; this reduces the input of manual labor and lowers labor costs. At the same time, by reducing the deformation and damage of the cookie tray, the operating cost of the cookie tray is also reduced. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] This utility model provides an automatic tray sorting machine and an anti-stacking tray conveying device for biscuit production, including a sorting convex plate 1 and a conveying device 2. The conveying device 2 includes a conveyor belt 21, with guide plates 24 arranged on both sides above the conveyor belt 21. The front of the guide plates 24 is arc-shaped and tapering, and the rear parts of the two guide plates 24 are parallel to each other. The width of the rear part of the guide plates 24 is the same as the width of the biscuit tray 4. An anti-stacking tray device 3 is arranged above the front part of the guide plates 24. The front part of the sorting convex plate 1 is arc-shaped and tangent to the plane of the conveyor belt 21. The bottom of the biscuit tray 4 has a guide groove 41 corresponding to the position of the sorting convex plate 1. The four corners of the biscuit tray 4 are rounded. When the biscuit tray 4 is placed on the conveyor belt 21, the guide plates 24 on both sides provide initial guidance and positioning for the biscuit tray 4. The arc-shaped tapering at the front guides the biscuit tray 4 laterally into the parallel area of ​​the guide plates 24, preparing for subsequent precise conveying and sorting.

[0022] The anti-stacking device 3 includes a screw mechanism 31 vertically positioned outside the conveyor belt 21. A horizontally extending rod 33 is mounted on the slider 32 of the screw mechanism 31, extending inwards towards the conveyor belt. A guide rod 34 is positioned on the side of the extension rod 33 opposite to the slider 32. The guide rod 34 is positioned along the conveyor belt's transmission direction, decreasing in height from front to rear until it reaches a horizontal position. The screw mechanism 31 drives the slider 32 to move up and down, thereby moving the extension rod 33 and the guide rod 34. When stacking occurs, the upper cookie tray 4 is blocked by the front of the guide rod 34. As the conveyor belt 21 moves, the upper cookie tray detaches from the upper layer under the action of the inclined surface of the guide rod 34.

[0023] A sorting protrusion 1 is provided at the rear of the conveyor belt 21. The sorting protrusion 1 is arranged along the transmission direction of the conveyor belt 21 and is biased towards one side of the conveyor belt 21. The guide plate 24 on the other side of the conveyor belt 21 has an opening 22, and a downwardly inclined sliding plate 23 is provided at the opening 22. When the biscuit tray 4 moves to the rear of the conveyor belt 21, the sorting protrusion 1 cooperates with the guide groove 41 at the bottom of the biscuit tray 4. If the biscuit tray 4 is facing upwards, its guide groove 41 is correctly aligned with the sorting protrusion 1, and the biscuit tray 4 continues to move along the conveyor belt 21; if the biscuit tray 4 is facing downwards, the biscuit tray 4 will be guided by the sorting protrusion 1 to the opening 22 and slide to the designated position by the sliding plate 23, thus achieving sorting of the front and back sides.

[0024] Working principle: After the biscuit tray 4 is placed on the conveyor belt 21, the contraction parts of the guide plates 24 on both sides guide the biscuit tray 4, allowing it to enter the rear of the guide plate 24 according to its length and width. Adjusting the screw mechanism 31 of the anti-stacking device 3 finally presses the guide rod 34 down to the appropriate position. When biscuit trays are stacked, the upper biscuit tray 4 is blocked by the front of the guide rod 34 and falls off from the upper layer under the action of the inclined surface of the guide rod 34. When the biscuit tray 4 moves to the rear of the conveyor belt 21, the sorting convex plate 1 cooperates with the guide groove 41 at the bottom of the biscuit tray. If the biscuit tray is facing up, the guide groove 41 and the sorting convex plate 1 are correctly aligned, and the biscuit tray continues to move along the conveyor belt 21; if it is facing down, one side is lifted and slides out through the slide plate 23, and then the conveyor belt is set to re-enter the conveyor device 2 or it is directly stored for the next use; this achieves front and back sorting while ensuring that the biscuit trays are oriented in the same direction, thus improving production efficiency.

[0025] Through the above specific embodiments, those skilled in the art can easily implement this utility model. However, it should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Based on the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine different technical features to achieve different technical solutions.
