Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a self-unloading cold beverage product insert device, belonging to the field of frozen beverage production and processing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Existing frozen beverages, whether with or without sticks, are often unloaded by grabbing the product or stick and removing it from the clamp or the stick. This unloading method is often quite rough, which can easily damage and contaminate the product, causing problems for subsequent packaging.

[0003] Demolding products without sticks is quite difficult. Currently, most methods involve grabbing the product, but whether done manually or mechanically, this can easily damage the product and is inefficient. For example, patent CN202121752468.8 discloses an ice cream clamping device that uses clamps to remove or unload ice cream, but the clamps used to clamp the ice cream have sharp points that can easily damage the ice cream product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a self-unloading cold beverage product insert device. This device is less likely to damage the cold beverage product during the production process and can achieve efficient unloading.

[0005] The specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A self-unloading cold beverage product insert device includes a power unit, a push rod, a spring, a crossbeam, a pressure plate, and an insert rod. The insert rod is fixed on the crossbeam, the pressure plate is slidably connected to the insert rod, the push rod is slidably connected to the crossbeam and one end is fixedly connected to the pressure plate, and the spring is sleeved on the push rod and its two ends are limited between the other end of the crossbeam and the other end of the push rod.

[0007] The cold beverage product is formed at the end of the insert rod away from the crossbeam. When the output end of the power unit moves, it pushes the push rod to deform the spring. The push rod drives the pressure plate to move along the insert rod towards the end closer to the cold beverage product, pushing the cold beverage product away from the insert rod and realizing self-unloading. The output end of the power unit resets, and the push rod and pressure plate reset under the action of the spring.

[0008] A further design of the above technical solution is as follows: the push rod passes through the crossbeam, and both ends extend out of the crossbeam and are located on both sides of the crossbeam, with the corresponding power unit and plug rod arranged on both sides of the crossbeam.

[0009] The spring is sleeved on one end of the push rod near the power unit. The end of the push rod is provided with a pressure cap. The two ends of the spring abut against the pressure cap and the side of the crossbeam, respectively.

[0010] A fixing plate is provided on one side of the crossbeam corresponding to the insertion rod, and several insertion rods are fixedly installed on the fixing plate.

[0011] Both the crossbeam and the fixing plate have through holes at corresponding locations with diameters matching the push rod, and the push rod is slidably connected within the through holes.

[0012] The crossbeam is a U-shaped beam, with both ends of the U-shaped beam fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The fixing plate has a guide tube with an inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the push rod on the side near the U-shaped beam, and the push rod is slidably connected inside the guide tube.

[0013] The crossbeam is a U-shaped beam, with both ends fixedly connected to a fixed plate. The crossbeam has holes at corresponding locations matching the outer diameter of the spring, and the fixed plate has holes at corresponding locations matching the outer diameter of the push rod. The fixed plate has a guide tube on the side near the U-shaped beam, with an outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the spring and an inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the push rod. The corresponding end of the spring passes through the hole in the crossbeam, is fitted onto the guide tube, and rests against the fixed plate. The push rod passes through the hole in the crossbeam and is slidably connected to the hole in the sleeve and the fixed plate.

[0014] The pressure plate has a pusher on the side away from the crossbeam, corresponding to the insertion rod. The pusher is sleeved on the insertion rod, and the movement of the pressure plate pushes the cold beverage product away from the insertion rod through the pusher.

[0015] The power unit is a pneumatic component.

[0016] The self-unloading cold beverage product insert device is a modular structure. Each module includes a power unit and multiple insert assemblies consisting of push rods, springs, pressure plates, and insert rods. Each insert assembly is connected to one output end of the power unit.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0018] This utility model relates to a self-unloading cold drink product insert device. The insert is used as a stick during the molding of cold drink products. The product is brought out of the mold by moving the insert, thus achieving demolding. Then, the insert is separated from the product by pushing with a pressure plate, thereby achieving demolding and unloading of products without sticks.

[0019] The self-unloading cold drink product insert device of this utility model adopts a self-unloading demolding method, which overcomes the problems of product damage and low efficiency caused by the existing gripping product demolding method.

[0020] The self-unloading cold drink product insert device of this utility model has a simple structure, requires no manual operation, has a high degree of automation, reduces costs, and can efficiently achieve demolding of cold drink products without sticks; moreover, the self-unloading insert device uses a pressure plate to push the insert to separate the insert from the product, which is less likely to damage the product.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the self-unloading cold beverage product insert device of this embodiment includes a power unit, a push rod 3, a spring 4, a crossbeam 6, a pressure plate 2, and insert rods 1. The crossbeam 6 is mounted on a movable connector and is used to drive the crossbeam to move through the connector. Several insert rods 1 are fixed on one side of the crossbeam 6. The power unit is located on the side of the crossbeam 6 opposite to the insert rods 1. The power unit of this embodiment includes pneumatic components 7, such as pneumatic push rods.

[0031] The crossbeam 6 has through holes on both sides, and a push rod 3 is slidably connected in the through holes. The diameter of the through holes matches the diameter of the push rod 3, which can guide the sliding of the push rod 3. The two ends of the push rod 3 are located on both sides of the crossbeam 6. A pressure plate 2 is slidably connected to the insert rod 1. One end of the push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 2. A spring 4 is sleeved on the part of the push rod 3 near the pneumatic component 7. A pressure cap 5 is provided at the end of the push rod 3. The two ends of the spring 4 abut against the pressure cap 5 and the side of the crossbeam 6, respectively. The spring 4 is limited between the two.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the crossbeam 6 has a fixing plate 61 on one side where the insert rod 1 is provided, and several insert rods 1 are fixedly installed on the fixing plate 61. The number of insert rods 1 corresponding to each pressure plate 2 can be set according to actual needs. Each insert rod corresponds to the forming of one cold drink product, and multiple insert rods 1 can realize the self-unloading of multiple products.

[0033] Both the crossbeam 6 and the fixing plate 61 have through holes with diameters matching the push rod at corresponding locations, and the push rod 3 is slidably connected in the two through holes.

[0034] The cold beverage production equipment shapes the cold beverage product 8 onto the end of the insert rod 1 away from the crossbeam 6. The output end of the pneumatic component 7 moves forward to push the pressure cap 5, which in turn pushes the push rod 3 to compress the spring 4. The push rod 3 drives the pressure plate 2 to move along the insert rod 1 towards the end closer to the cold beverage product 8, pushing the cold beverage product 8 away from the insert rod 1 to achieve self-unloading. The output end of the pneumatic component 7 moves backward, and the push rod 3 and the pressure plate 2 are reset under the action of the spring 4. Example

[0035] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, with the following improvements: Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the crossbeam 6 is a U-shaped beam. Both ends of the U-shaped beam are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 61 by bolts, forming a cavity between the U-shaped beam 6 and the fixing plate 61. The fixing plate 61, near the U-shaped beam, has a guide tube 62 with an inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the push rod 3. The push rod 3 is slidably connected within the guide tube 62 to guide its movement. Both the crossbeam 6 and the fixing plate 61 have through holes with diameters matching the push rod 3 at corresponding locations, and the push rod is slidably connected within these two through holes. The spring 4 rests against the pressure cap 5 and one side of the U-shaped beam at both ends. Example

[0036] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, with the following improvements: Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the crossbeam 6 is a U-shaped beam, with both ends of the U-shaped beam fixedly connected to the fixing plate, forming a cavity between the U-shaped beam 6 and the fixing plate 61. The fixing plate 61 has a guide tube 62 with an outer diameter matching the inner diameter of the spring 4 and an inner diameter matching the outer diameter of the push rod 3 on the side near the U-shaped beam. The U-shaped beam has a hole at the corresponding position that matches the outer diameter of the spring 4, and the fixing plate 61 has a hole at the corresponding position that matches the outer diameter of the push rod 3. The push rod passes through the hole on the U-shaped beam and is slidably connected to the sleeve 62 and the hole on the fixing plate. The corresponding end of the spring 4 passes through the hole on the U-shaped beam and is sleeved on the guide tube 62, with the end abutting against the fixing plate. The guide tube 62 can play a certain guiding role for the spring 4 and the push rod 3. Compared with embodiment two, this embodiment extends the length of the spring 4, thereby increasing the compression stroke of the spring and the stroke of the pressure plate 2, making it easier to push the cold beverage product off the insert rod. Example

[0037] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, with the improvement being that the self-unloading cold beverage product insert device has a modular structure. Each module includes a power unit and multiple insert assemblies consisting of push rods, springs, pressure plates, and insert rods. Each insert assembly is connected to one output end of the power unit. This structure facilitates the control of multiple insert assemblies by a single power unit. Figure 7 As shown, each power unit controls six sets of insertion rod assemblies. The power unit uses an insertion rod cylinder, which has three output ends and can act on three sets of insertion rod assemblies simultaneously.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the pressure plate 2 has a push cylinder 21 on the side away from the crossbeam 6, corresponding to the insertion rod 1. The push cylinder 21 is sleeved on the insertion rod 1, and the movement of the pressure plate 2 pushes the cold beverage product away from the insertion rod 1 through the push cylinder 21. In this example, the insertion rod 1 is horizontally set on the production line.

[0039] The production process of this utility model is as follows:

[0040] Combination Figure 7 As shown, during operation, the self-unloading cold drink product insert device uses connector 9 to drive the crossbeam 6, which in turn drives the insert to insert into the mold containing the product. The cold drink product 8 and the insert 1 are frozen together, forming the product. The formed cold drink product 8 and the insert 1 are fixed together and conveyed to the demolding station. During demolding, pre-demolding is performed by heating first, and then the insert 1 is moved by connector 9 and pulled out of the mold along with the cold drink product 8, completing the demolding. Afterwards, the cold drink product 8 and the insert 1 are conveyed to the unloading station by connector 9. At this time, the pneumatic component 7... The system is activated, acting on the pressure cap 5 and push rod 3. Push rod 3 moves downward, while spring 4 below pressure cap 5 is compressed. Push rod 3 drives pressure plate 2 to press down, thereby unloading the cold beverage product 8 from the insert rod 1, completing the unloading process. Subsequently, pneumatic component 7 retracts, and pressure cap 5 and push rod 3 return to their original positions under the action of spring 4. After unloading, insert rod 1 continues to move under the action of robotic arm 9, circulating to the top of the mold and then being placed into the mold. This cycle repeats. This self-unloading cold beverage product insert rod device has high unloading efficiency, ingenious structure, reduces costs, and improves product competitiveness.
