Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bottle noodle production technology, specifically to a belt-type bowl-feeding machine for bottle noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] Instant noodle production is an industrialized process that integrates food science, mechanical engineering, and packaging technology. It uses high-gluten flour as the main ingredient, supplemented with starch, water, salt, etc., to form dough through kneading and maturation. The dough is then dehydrated through frying or hot air drying. The dehydrated noodles are then made into noodle cakes and packaged with toppings in instable containers. Finally, the containers undergo sealing and heat-shrink film encapsulation, making them convenient for consumers to eat and facilitating storage and transportation.

[0003] Currently, in the production process of cup noodles, it is usually necessary to separate the stacked noodle cups one by one and arrange them on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt then transports them to the next station for operations such as adding noodles and ingredients. However, in the existing belt-type cup noodle unloading machine, the separation of stacked cups is often accomplished by a spiral separation mechanism. Even if the convex edge of the noodle cup is caught in the spiral groove and is driven to detach, it often requires a large gap between the stacked noodle cups, and the size of the convex edge needs to match the spiral groove. At the same time, it is easy to cause the stacked cups to rotate as a whole, resulting in poor stability and unsatisfactory performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a belt-type noodle unloading machine for producing noodle buckets. It features two sets of positioning plates, cards, and a first cylinder symmetrically arranged within a fixed box. The two cards are staggered vertically. During operation, the left set of cards is positioned under the convex edge of the bottom noodle bucket, while the right set of cards is positioned under the convex edge of the upper noodle bucket. Through the inclusion of a support plate, connecting arm, and inclined rubber clamps, the connecting arm, in conjunction with the drive mechanism and the second cylinder, moves the two rubber clamps towards or away from each other to clamp the noodle bucket and pull it out. Simultaneously, the upper and lower sets of cards engage in edge-clamping motion, allowing for rapid and stable separation of the noodle buckets onto the belt conveyor. The machine is simple and convenient to operate, highly applicable, stable and reliable, and performs well, thus addressing the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-6 The belt-type bowl-feeding machine for producing instant noodles shown includes:

[0029] A belt conveyor 1 is provided with a fixed frame 3 at one end of the belt conveyor 1. A fixed box 4 is provided at the top of the fixed frame 3 near the top of the belt conveyor 1. The top and bottom of the fixed box 4 are symmetrically provided with material inlets 5.

[0030] A ring is provided on the top side of the fixed box 4 near the material inlet 5, and multiple limit rods 6 are provided on the top side of the ring.

[0031] Limiting plates 8 are symmetrically arranged between the two feed inlets 5. Based on this, the stacked dough buckets can be guided and limited by the limiting rods 6 and the limiting plates 8.

[0032] Two symmetrical baffle plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the belt conveyor 1 via support rods, and the baffle plates 2 are located above the belt. By setting two symmetrical baffle plates 2, the dough drum can move stably along a straight line on the belt of the belt conveyor 1.

[0033] The bottom of the fixed box 4 is symmetrically provided with two first cylinders 9. The output ends of the two first cylinders 9 are connected to positioning plates 10 facing the feed port 5. The side walls of the two positioning plates 10 are connected to cards 11, and the two cards 11 are staggered vertically.

[0034] Slider 14 is fixed to both ends of one side of the support plate 13, and a groove 15 matching the slider 14 is provided on the inner side of the fixing box 4. Based on this, by setting the slider 14 and the groove 15, the support plate 13 can be supported and limited, thereby greatly ensuring the stability of the support plate 13 when it moves up and down.

[0035] A second cylinder 12 is provided on the top side of the fixed box 4 near the material port 5. The bottom end of the second cylinder 12 is connected to a support plate 13. Connecting arms 17 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the bottom side of the support plate 13. The bottom ends of the two connecting arms 17 extend to the outside of the fixed box 4 and are connected to connecting rods 18. The ends of the two connecting rods 18 are provided with rubber clamps 19 facing the central axis of the material port 5, and one end of the rubber clamps 19 is provided with a bevel. The bottom side of the fixed box 4 is provided with a second slide rail 20 that matches the connecting arms 17.

[0036] The support plate 13 is equipped with a drive mechanism, which is used to drive the two connecting arms 17 to move towards or away from each other. Based on this, the drive mechanism can cause the movable column 22 to drive the two connecting arms 17 to move towards or away from each other, so that the connecting arms 17 can drive the two rubber clamps 19 to quickly move closer or further away through the connecting rod 18, so as to clamp or release the dough bucket.

[0037] The drive mechanism includes a cavity 21 located in the support plate 13. Movable columns 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides inside the cavity 21. A first slide rail 16 is provided at both ends of the bottom side of the support plate 13. The top ends of the two connecting arms 17 pass through the first slide rail 16 and are respectively connected to the two movable columns 22. A toothed plate 23 is provided on the inner side of the two movable columns 22. A drive motor 25 is fixed in the middle of the bottom side of the support plate 13. The output end of the drive motor 25 extends into the cavity 21 and is provided with a gear 24 that meshes with the two toothed plates 23.

[0038] In use, the stacked bucket can be guided between the two feed inlets 5. By activating the two first cylinders 9, the first cylinders 9 can drive the positioning plate 10 to move, and the positioning plate 10 can drive the card 11 to move towards the stacked bucket. Since the two cards 11 are staggered, the left set of cards 11 is stuck under the convex edge of the bottom bucket, while the right set of cards 11 is stuck under the convex edge of the bucket above the bucket. Then, the drive motor 25 can drive the gear 24 to rotate, and the gear 24 can drive the two movable columns 22 to move through the tooth plate 23. Then, the movable columns 22 can drive the connecting arm 17 to move, and the connecting arm 17 can drive the two rubber clamps 19 to quickly approach each other through the connecting rod 18. The inclined surface can press against the side wall of the bottom bucket to clamp the bucket.

[0039] When the card 11 on the lower left is pulled back and detached from the protruding edge of the dough bucket, the second cylinder 12 drives the support plate 13 to move down, so that the support plate 13 drives the rubber clamp 19 to descend through the connecting arm 17. This allows the two rubber clamps 19 to pull the dough bucket down and detach simultaneously. At the same time, the two rubber clamps 19 are controlled to separate and rise to reset, so that the dough bucket can be stably placed on the belt conveyor 1.

[0040] At this point, control the lower left card 11 to quickly reset and move the upper right card 11 away from the convex edge of the dough drum. Then the stack of drums descends as a whole. When the lower left card 11 is back on the convex edge of the bottom dough drum, the upper right card 11 resets and is also on the convex edge of the top dough drum. The above operation can be repeated to quickly control the separation of the dough drums one by one and stably drop them onto the belt conveyor 1. The operation is simple and convenient, highly applicable, stable and reliable, and has good performance.

[0041] Guide rods 7 are fixed on both sides of the cavity 21, and the movable column 22 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 7. Based on this, the stability of the movement of the movable column 22 can be ensured by the guide rods 7.

[0042] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
