Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread production, and in particular to a quantitative feeding device in a bread production line. Background Technology
[0002] In bread production, precise ingredient addition is crucial for ensuring consistent product quality and taste. Traditional bread production lines typically use manual weighing for ingredient addition. However, manual weighing is slow, difficult to meet the demands of modern large-scale production, and easily affected by human error, leading to inaccurate ingredient amounts and impacting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above in the background technology, this utility model provides a quantitative feeding device for a bread production line.
[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A quantitative feeding device for a bread production line includes a feeding mechanism disposed above a frame. The frame is equipped with a conveyor belt for conveying raw material barrels. A first gantry frame is disposed above the frame. The first gantry frame includes a crossbeam and columns. One column is disposed at each end of the crossbeam, and the two columns are respectively connected to both sides of the frame. The feeding mechanism is connected to the first gantry frame and is used to feed the raw material barrels. The feeding mechanism comprises:
[0006] The base plate is connected to the bottom surface of the crossbeam by several connecting pins, and a material outlet is passed through the upper surface of the base plate;
[0007] A turntable rotates in close contact with the upper surface of the base plate, and the turntable rotates intermittently. Several material distribution holes are penetrating the upper surface of the turntable.
[0008] A feeding bin is located on the upper surface of the crossbeam, and the discharge pipe of the feeding bin passes downward through the crossbeam and is close to the upper surface of the turntable;
[0009] During the intermittent rotation of the turntable, the material distribution hole of the turntable coincides sequentially with the material outlet of the bottom plate and the discharge pipe of the feeding bin, and the discharge pipe is staggered from the material outlet.
[0010] As a further improvement, the turntable is driven by a drive mechanism on the crossbeam. The drive mechanism includes a driven gear, a driving gear, a driven grooved wheel, a driving dial, and a cylindrical pin. The rotating shaft of the turntable passes through the crossbeam and is connected to the driven gear. The upper surface of the crossbeam is provided with a driving gear that meshes with the driven gear. The driving gear is coaxially provided with a driven grooved wheel, which has several radial grooves. The upper surface of the crossbeam is provided with a driving dial, which has a cylindrical pin. During the rotation of the driving dial, the cylindrical pin enters the radial grooves in sequence.
[0011] As a further improvement, the active dial is driven by a dispensing motor located on the side of the column.
[0012] As a further improvement, the drive mechanism also includes a concave locking arc and a convex locking arc. The driven groove wheel is provided with a plurality of the concave locking arcs, and each of the adjacent radial grooves is provided with a concave locking arc. The drive dial is provided with the convex locking arc. During the rotation of the drive dial, the convex locking arcs sequentially lock the concave locking arcs.
[0013] As a further improvement, the feeding device also includes a stirring mechanism, which includes a second gantry frame, a stirring motor, and a stirrer. The second gantry frame is provided on the upper surface of the crossbeam, and the stirring motor is provided on the second gantry frame. The motor shaft of the stirring motor is connected to the stirrer, and the stirrer passes through the second gantry frame and enters the feeding hopper.
[0014] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: During use, the turntable rotates intermittently against the upper surface of the base plate. When the turntable stops, the dispensing hole coincides with the discharge pipe, and another dispensing hole coincides with the discharge port. At this time, the ingredients in the feeding bin are filled into the dispensing hole through the discharge pipe, achieving quantitative dispensing. Meanwhile, the ingredients filled in the other dispensing hole enter the raw material bucket on the conveyor belt through the discharge port, completing quantitative feeding. Then, as the turntable continues to rotate, when the dispensing hole, discharge pipe, and discharge port are misaligned, the turntable blocks the discharge pipe, and the base plate blocks the dispensing hole to prevent leakage. This utility model automatically performs quantitative feeding through the feeding mechanism, accurately adding ingredients, ensuring product quality, and has a high degree of automation. It can be linked with other equipment on the production line for control, improving production efficiency and product quality. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] As attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a quantitative feeding device in a bread production line includes a feeding mechanism 2 located above a frame 1. The frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 11 for conveying raw material barrels 12. A first gantry frame 5 is located above the frame 1. The first gantry frame 5 includes a crossbeam 51 and columns 52. Each end of the crossbeam 51 is provided with a column 52, and the two columns 52 are respectively connected to both sides of the frame 1. The feeding mechanism 2 is connected to the first gantry frame 5 and is used to feed raw material barrels 12.
[0022] Details are as attached Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a base plate 21, a turntable 22, and a feeding bin 23. The base plate 21 is connected to the bottom surface of the crossbeam 51 via several connecting pins 212. A turntable 22, rotating intermittently, is positioned above the base plate 21 and its upper surface is perforated with several dispensing holes 221. The feeding bin 23 is located on the upper surface of the crossbeam 51, and its discharge pipe 231 extends downwards through the crossbeam 51 and is attached to the upper surface of the turntable 22. During the intermittent rotation of the turntable 22, the dispensing holes 221 of the turntable 22 sequentially overlap with the discharge pipe 231 of the feeding bin 23. When the turntable 22 stops and the dispensing holes 221 overlap with the discharge pipe 231, the feed in the feeding bin 23 is filled into the dispensing holes 221 through the discharge pipe 231, achieving quantitative dispensing. Then, as the turntable 22 continues to rotate, when the material distribution hole 221 is misaligned with the discharge pipe 231, the turntable 22 can block the discharge pipe 231 to prevent material leakage.
[0023] Further details are attached. Figure 3As shown, a discharge port 211 extends through the upper surface of the base plate 21. During the intermittent rotation of the turntable 22, the distribution hole 221 of the turntable 22 successively overlaps with the discharge port 211 of the base plate 21. When the turntable 22 stops and the distribution hole 221 overlaps with the discharge port 211, the material filled in the distribution hole 221 enters the raw material bucket 12 on the conveyor belt 11 through the discharge port 211, completing the quantitative feeding. Preferably, the discharge pipe 231 is staggered from the discharge port 211 to ensure that the material in the feeding bin 23 can be smoothly filled into the distribution hole 221 through the discharge pipe 231, achieving quantitative feeding.
[0024] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in the attached document Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the turntable 22 is driven by the drive mechanism 3 on the crossbeam 51. Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes a driven gear 31, a drive gear 32, a driven grooved wheel 33, a drive dial 34, and a cylindrical pin 341. The rotating shaft of the turntable 22 passes through the crossbeam 51 and is connected to the driven gear 31. The upper surface of the crossbeam 51 is provided with a drive gear 32 that meshes with the driven gear 31. The drive gear 32 is coaxially provided with a driven grooved wheel 33, which is provided with several radial grooves 331. The upper surface of the crossbeam 51 is provided with a drive dial 34, which is provided with a cylindrical pin 341. The drive dial 34 is driven by a material dispensing motor 35 located on the side of the column 52. In use, the dispensing motor 35 drives the active dial 34 to rotate at a constant speed. During the process, the cylindrical pins 341 enter the radial grooves 331 in sequence. The driven groove wheel 33 is driven by the cylindrical pins 341 to rotate, realizing the intermittent rotation of the driven groove wheel 33. The active gear 32, which is coaxial with the driven groove wheel 33, drives the turntable 22 to rotate intermittently through the driven gear 31, so as to complete the quantitative dispensing and quantitative feeding of materials.
[0025] Further details are attached. Figure 4As shown, the drive mechanism 3 also includes a concave locking arc 332 and a convex locking arc 342. The driven grooved wheel 33 is provided with several concave locking arcs 332, and one concave locking arc 332 is provided between each adjacent radial groove 331. The drive dial 34 is provided with convex locking arcs 342. During the rotation of the drive dial 34, the convex locking arcs 342 sequentially lock the concave locking arcs 332. When the cylindrical pin 341 on the drive dial 34 has not entered the radial groove 331 of the driven grooved wheel 33, the driven grooved wheel 33 remains stationary because the concave locking arcs 332 of the driven grooved wheel 33 are locked by the convex locking arcs 342 of the drive dial 34. When the cylindrical pin 341 just enters the radial groove 331 of the driven grooved wheel 33, the concave locking arcs 332 are just released. After that, the driven grooved wheel 33 rotates under the drive of the cylindrical pin 341. When the cylindrical pin 341 leaves the radial groove 331 on the other side, the concave locking arc 332 is locked again, and the driven grooved wheel 33 remains stationary. This process repeats until the cylindrical pin 341 re-enters the other radial groove 331 of the driven grooved wheel 33. The concave locking arc 332 and the convex locking arc 342 work together to lock the driven grooved wheel 33, preventing it from rotating due to inertia.
[0026] Additionally, as attached Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the feeding device also includes a stirring mechanism 4, which includes a second gantry frame 41, a stirring motor 42, and a stirrer 43. The second gantry frame 41 is provided on the upper surface of the crossbeam 51, and the stirring motor 42 is mounted on the second gantry frame 41. The motor shaft of the stirring motor 42 is connected to the stirrer 43, which passes through the second gantry frame 41 and enters the feeding hopper 23. In use, the rotating stirrer 43 stirs the ingredients in the feeding hopper 23, preventing the ingredients from clumping and sticking to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 23, which would prevent the ingredients from smoothly entering the dispensing hole 221 for quantitative dispensing, thus affecting the quantitative feeding.
[0027] In summary, during use, the turntable 22 rotates intermittently against the upper surface of the base plate 21. When the turntable 22 stops, the dispensing hole 221 coincides with the discharge pipe 231, and another dispensing hole 221 coincides with the discharge port 211. At this time, the ingredients in the feeding bin 23 are filled into the dispensing hole 221 through the discharge pipe 231, achieving quantitative dispensing. The ingredients filled in the other dispensing hole 221 enter the raw material bucket 12 on the conveyor belt 11 through the discharge port 211, completing quantitative feeding. Then, when the turntable 22 continues to rotate, and the dispensing hole 221 is misaligned with the discharge pipe 231 and the discharge port 211, the turntable 22 blocks the discharge pipe 231, and the base plate 21 blocks the dispensing hole 221 to prevent material leakage. This invention automatically performs quantitative feeding through the feeding mechanism 2, accurately adding ingredients, ensuring product quality, and has a high degree of automation. It can be linked with other equipment in the production line for control, improving production efficiency and product quality.
[0028] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
