Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workshop conveyor technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a product forming and stacking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of sandwich foods, the sandwich assembly process requires the precise stacking of different material layers. In traditional processes, the outer substrate needs to be picked up piece by piece manually and placed in designated positions on a conveyor belt. This is labor-intensive, and the repetitive actions can easily lead to decreased efficiency and worker fatigue, as well as food hygiene risks. Manual placement is also prone to visual errors or movement deviations, causing the cookies to shift and affecting the matching accuracy of subsequent filling and pressing processes, resulting in filling overflow or uneven product thickness. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a product forming and stacking equipment, comprising:

[0004] The material storage section includes a feeding plate with an inlet and an outlet. The bottom of the inlet is provided with a feeding channel that communicates with the outlet. The raw material slides from the inlet to the outlet through the feeding channel. A guide channel that connects the feeding channel to the outside is provided on the side of the feeding plate near the inlet.

[0005] The material pushing mechanism is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding plate. The material pushing mechanism includes a first power device and a material pushing plate. The first power device is relatively fixed to the feeding plate through a first fixing part. The material pushing plate is connected to the first power device. The material pushing plate has a material pushing part that matches the guide channel. The first power device drives the material pushing part to reciprocate linearly within the guide channel and the feeding channel.

[0006] This invention replaces manual piece-by-piece placement with the linear reciprocating motion of a feeding mechanism, achieving continuous automatic feeding of raw materials (such as biscuit base), reducing labor intensity and the risk of food contamination. A first power device propels the raw material, which falls to the bottom of the inlet under gravity, from the inlet to the outlet, improving the placement accuracy of the raw material and enhancing the alignment accuracy of subsequent grouting and pressing processes, thus reducing defects such as filling overflow or uneven thickness.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple limiting rods are vertically fixed on the surface of the feeding plate where the feeding port is located. The multiple limiting rods are arranged around the feeding port, and the multiple limiting rods surrounding the same feeding port together form a limiting storage part.

[0008] Multiple vertical limiting rods are set around the feed inlet to form a limiting storage section, which radially constrains the stacked raw materials (such as biscuit base) so that the raw materials fall along a preset path, reducing tilting and misalignment problems caused by manual stacking or free sliding.

[0009] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a blocking mechanism, which is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding plate near the discharge port.

[0010] The material-stopping mechanism includes:

[0011] The second power unit is fixed to the feed plate by the second fixing part;

[0012] A baffle plate is connected to a second power device. The baffle plate has a baffle part, which is located below the discharge port. The baffle part is driven by the second power device to move linearly in a direction parallel to the surface of the discharge plate.

[0013] The baffle moves linearly along a direction parallel to the surface of the feeding plate via a second power device, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port. By completely closing the discharge port during non-feeding cycles, the probability of raw materials accidentally slipping due to their own weight or inertia is reduced, the accuracy of raw material placement is improved, and the probability of multiple raw materials piling up or misaligning is reduced.

[0014] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes an installation structure, through which the feeding mechanism is fixed as a whole to the equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting structure includes:

[0016] A fixing plate is fixed in a preset position, and a screw is provided on the surface of the fixing plate perpendicular to the surface of the fixing plate;

[0017] The mounting plate has a screw that passes through its end, and a nut is provided on the surface of the mounting plate through which the screw passes. The nut is threaded into the screw, and the mounting plate is fixed to the unloading plate by bolts.

[0018] The screw and nut are threaded together, allowing the mounting plate to be freely adjusted in height along the screw axis. This enables the entire unloading mechanism to be quickly repositioned to suit the spatial layout of different equipment or production lines.

[0019] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism also includes a protective net, which is located on the outside of the feeding plate.

[0020] The protective netting covers the material pushing and blocking mechanisms to prevent operators' hands or tools from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed rotating mechanical structure, thereby reducing workplace injuries such as pinching and collisions.

[0021] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0022] This invention replaces manual piece-by-piece placement with the linear reciprocating motion of a feeding mechanism, achieving continuous automatic feeding of raw materials (such as biscuit base), reducing labor intensity and the risk of food contamination. A first power device propels the raw material, which falls to the bottom of the inlet under gravity, from the inlet to the outlet, improving the placement accuracy of the raw material and enhancing the alignment accuracy of subsequent grouting and pressing processes, thus reducing defects such as filling overflow or uneven thickness.

[0040] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0041] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0042] As described in the background section, in traditional processes, the outer substrate needs to be picked up piece by piece manually and placed at designated positions on the conveyor belt. This is labor-intensive, and long-term repetitive actions can easily lead to decreased efficiency and worker fatigue, as well as food hygiene risks. Manual placement can easily cause the biscuits to shift due to visual errors or movement deviations, affecting the matching accuracy of subsequent injection and pressing processes, resulting in filling overflow or uneven product thickness.

[0043] Example 1:

[0044] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a feeding mechanism for a product forming and stacking device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding mechanism includes:

[0045] Storage section 200, such as Figure 2 As shown, the storage section includes a feeding plate 210, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the feeding plate 210 has a feed inlet 212 and a discharge outlet 213. The bottom of the feed inlet is provided with a feeding channel 214 that communicates with the discharge outlet. The raw material slides from the feed inlet to the discharge outlet through the feeding channel. On the side of the feeding plate near the feed inlet, there is a guide channel 211 that connects the feeding channel to the outside.

[0046] The feeding mechanism 400 is fixedly installed on the side of the unloading plate, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a first power device 410 and a pushing plate 420. The first power device is relatively fixed to the feeding plate through a first fixing part 430. The pushing plate is connected to the first power device. The pushing plate has a pushing part 421 that matches the guide channel. The first power device drives the pushing part to reciprocate linearly within the guide channel and the feeding channel.

[0047] In this embodiment, raw materials are fed into the feed port and stacked one by one to form a raw material group. During the unloading operation, the first power device drives the pusher plate to move linearly as a whole, so that the pusher plate moves from the guide channel to the feeding channel, thereby feeding the raw materials at the connection between the feeding channel and the discharge port into the discharge port along the feeding channel. The raw materials sent to the discharge port are discharged onto the equipment (e.g., conveyor belt) under their own gravity.

[0048] This embodiment replaces manual piece-by-piece placement with the linear reciprocating motion of the feeding mechanism 400, achieving continuous automatic feeding of raw materials (such as biscuit base), reducing labor intensity and the risk of food contamination. The first power device 410 propels the raw material, which falls to the bottom of the feed inlet under gravity, from the feed inlet 212 to the discharge outlet 213, improving the placement accuracy of the raw material and enhancing the alignment accuracy of subsequent grouting and pressing processes, thus reducing defects such as filling overflow or uneven thickness.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first power device can be a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0050] For example, multiple limiting rods 220 can be vertically fixed on the surface of the feeding plate where the feeding port is located. The multiple limiting rods are arranged around the feeding port, and the multiple limiting rods surrounding the same feeding port together form a limiting storage part.

[0051] This embodiment uses multiple vertical limiting rods arranged around the feed inlet to form a limiting storage part, which radially constrains the stacked raw materials (such as biscuit base) so that the raw materials fall along a preset path, reducing tilting and misalignment problems caused by manual stacking or free sliding.

[0052] For example, the feeding mechanism further includes a blocking mechanism 500, which is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding plate near the discharge port;

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the material blocking mechanism includes:

[0054] The second power unit 510 is fixed to the feed plate by the second fixing part 520;

[0055] The baffle plate 510 is connected to the second power device. The baffle plate has a baffle part 531, which is located below the discharge port. The baffle part is driven by the second power device to move linearly in a direction parallel to the surface of the discharge plate.

[0056] In this embodiment, the baffle 531 moves linearly along a direction parallel to the surface of the feeding plate via the second power device 510, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port 213. By completely closing the discharge port during non-feeding cycles, the probability of the raw material accidentally slipping due to its own weight or inertia is reduced, the placement accuracy of the raw material is improved, and the probability of multiple raw materials piling up or misaligning is reduced.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, raw materials are fed into the inlet and stacked one by one to form a raw material group. The bottom raw material in the group is currently in the feeding channel. When unloading, as shown... Figure 9 As shown, the first power unit drives the pusher plate to move linearly, pushing the material at the bottom of the material group along the feeding channel towards the discharge port until the material is completely pushed to the discharge port position. Under the action of the baffle, the material is retained in the discharge port, and then, as... Figure 3 As shown, the second power unit drives the baffle plate to move linearly, the discharge port opens, and the raw material falls onto the equipment under the action of gravity. After the material is discharged, the first power unit drives the pusher plate to retract, and the raw material group descends under the action of weight and is sent out according to the thickness of the raw material. At the same time, the second power unit drives the baffle plate to close the discharge port.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second power device can be selected from a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding mechanism also includes an installation structure 100, through which the feeding mechanism is fixed as a whole on the equipment.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, the mounting structure may include:

[0061] A fixing plate 110 is fixed in a preset position, and a screw 120 perpendicular to the surface of the fixing plate is provided on the surface of the fixing plate.

[0062] Mounting plate 130, the end of which is penetrated by a screw, and a nut 140 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate through which the screw is penetrated. The nut is threadedly engaged with the screw, and the mounting plate is fixed to the unloading plate by bolts 150.

[0063] This embodiment utilizes the threaded engagement of the screw and nut to allow for free height adjustment of the mounting plate along the screw axis, enabling the entire feeding mechanism to be quickly adjusted in installation position according to the spatial layout of different equipment or production lines.

[0064] In addition, the feeding mechanism may also include a protective net 300, which is located on the outside of the feeding plate.

[0065] The protective netting covers the material pushing and blocking mechanisms to prevent operators' hands or tools from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed rotating mechanical structure, thereby reducing workplace injuries such as pinching and collisions.

[0066] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
