Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, specifically to a lifting machine used in food production. Background Technology
[0002] A hoist is a large mechanical device that transports materials by changing their potential energy. Examples include mine hoists and dam hoists. In a broader sense, elevators, overhead cranes, winches, jacks, gantry cranes, gate hoists, etc., can all be called hoists. Belt conveyors are a type of hoist. Belt hoists are devices that use belts to transport materials horizontally, inclined, or vertically, and can continuously transport materials in different food production processes.
[0003] A search revealed that patent 202223304890.4 proposes a belt conveyor with an auxiliary cleaning structure. The patent description states that "this belt conveyor with an auxiliary cleaning structure, by setting a threaded rod, a threaded seat, a cleaning brush, and a cleaning belt, uses a servo motor to drive the threaded rod to rotate, causing the cleaning brush on the threaded rod to translate along with the rotation of the thread. During translation, it pushes the dust and debris on the surface of the conveyor belt to the cleaning belt. The cleaning is performed three times after the belt rotates, cleaning all surfaces of the conveyor belt thoroughly, achieving a rapid cleaning effect. This gives the belt conveyor a self-cleaning function, avoiding the problem of inconvenient cleaning during use and improving the rapid cleaning effect of the belt conveyor."
[0004] The belt conveyor with auxiliary cleaning structure does not clean the belt when conveying food. After the food is conveyed, the cleaning brush cleans the belt. However, during the food conveying process, the food will contaminate the belt, thus contaminating the food conveyed later and affecting the food quality. Improvement is needed. Therefore, a conveyor for food production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 The lifting machine for food production in this embodiment includes a belt elevator body 1, a bin 2, a cleaning mechanism 3 and a cleaning block 4. Multiple partition plates 11 are fixedly connected to the belt of the belt elevator body 1. The multiple partition plates 11 are evenly and equidistantly distributed on the belt of the belt elevator body 1.
[0025] Specifically, food is placed on top of the belt of the conveyor body 1, and the partition plate 11 divides the food into different areas. The conveyor body 1 transports the food, the cleaning mechanism 3 cleans the belt of the conveyor body 1, and the cleaning block 4 cleans the cleaning mechanism 3. During the food transport process, the contamination of the conveyor body 1 belt by the food is reduced, thereby reducing the contamination of the food transported subsequently and improving the food quality.
[0026] In addition, the main body 1 of the belt conveyor is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.
[0027] In this embodiment, the bin body 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the belt elevator body 1. The bin body 2 has two through holes inside, which are symmetrically distributed and match the partition plate 11. A photoelectric sensor is fixedly installed on the bin body 2.
[0028] Specifically, when the belt conveyor body 1 moves the partition plate 11, the partition plate 11 passes through the through hole.
[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a motor 31, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chamber 2. The output end of the motor 31 passes through the chamber 2 and is fixedly mounted with a rotating shaft 32. The side of the rotating shaft 32 away from the output end of the motor 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chamber 2. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the chamber 2 through a bearing. Two sleeves 33 are fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 32. Two connecting rods 34 are fixedly mounted on the outside of each of the two sleeves 33. Connecting plates 35 are fixedly mounted on the side of each of the four connecting rods 34 away from the sleeves 33. A cleaning brush 36 is provided on both connecting plates 35. Threaded rods are fixedly mounted on the side of each of the two connecting plates 35 away from the connecting rods 34. Insertion holes matching the threaded rods are opened inside the two cleaning brushes 36. Threaded sleeves are threadedly installed on the outside of the two threaded rods.
[0030] Specifically, by turning on the motor 31, the motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 32, sleeve 33, connecting rod 34, connecting plate 35 and cleaning brush 36 to rotate. The photoelectric sensor detects the position of the partition plate 11, and the controller determines whether it is in a cleaning state or a non-cleaning state, thereby controlling the position of the cleaning brush 36. In the cleaning state, the cleaning brush 36 is in contact with the belt of the belt elevator body 1, and the cleaning brush 36 is not in contact with the partition plate 11. In the non-cleaning state, the cleaning brush 36 is not in contact with the belt of the belt elevator body 1, and the cleaning brush 36 is not in contact with the partition plate 11.
[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning block 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chamber 2. The side of the cleaning block 4 away from the chamber 2 is arc-shaped, and the thickness of the middle of the cleaning block 4 is less than the thickness of the edge.
[0032] Specifically, during the rotation of the cleaning brush 36, the cleaning brush 36 comes into contact with the edge of the cleaning block 4 to clean the debris on the cleaning brush 36.
[0033] In this embodiment, a box 5 is placed below the main body 1 of the belt elevator, and the top opening area of the box 5 is larger than the bottom opening area of the bin 2.
[0034] Specifically, the debris falls along the inner wall of compartment 2 into the interior of box 5.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0036] Food is placed on top of the belt of the conveyor body 1. The partition plate 11 divides the food into different areas. The conveyor body 1 transports the food. The photoelectric sensor detects the position of the partition plate 11, and the controller determines whether it is in a cleaning state or a non-cleaning state. The controller then controls the position of the cleaning brush 36 and starts the motor 31. The motor 31 drives the rotating shaft 32, sleeve 33, connecting rod 34, connecting plate 35 and cleaning brush 36 to rotate. In the cleaning state, the cleaning brush 36 is in contact with the belt of the conveyor body 1 and is not in contact with the partition plate 11. In the non-cleaning state, the cleaning brush 36 is not in contact with the belt of the conveyor body 1 and is not in contact with the partition plate 11. During the rotation, the cleaning brush 36 contacts the edge of the cleaning block 4 to clean the debris on the cleaning brush 36. The debris falls along the inner wall of the bin 2 into the interior of the box 5, reducing the contamination of the conveyor body 1 belt by the food and thus reducing the contamination of the food transported subsequently, thereby improving the food quality.
[0037] In addition, all electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the controller and power supply. The control method of this utility model is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
