Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology, and specifically relates to the feeding mechanism of a base material feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Hot pot base is a product made by stir-frying various raw materials such as chili pepper pieces, spices (star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves), and seasonings (ginger slices, garlic cloves, scallion segments, etc.) in high-temperature oil. Therefore, before making hot pot base, it is necessary to prepare all kinds of raw materials in advance and put each raw material in a separate container.

[0003] Because hot pot factories produce in large quantities, the various ingredients for hot pot base are stored in large barrels. These ingredients are only delivered to the frying workshop when the frying process begins. To facilitate transport and reduce manual labor, forklifts are currently used to move the material feeders, and robotic arms grab the buckets for feeding. However, the existing feeders can only hold one bucket at a time, requiring multiple transfers, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, there is a risk that the buckets may slip off the robotic arms' wheels during the grabbing process, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a feeding mechanism for a bottom material feeding device, which enables the feeding rack to hold multiple barrels of raw materials at one time, thereby improving work efficiency and making the operation of grabbing and feeding the barrels safer.

[0005] The technical solution for the purpose of this utility model is:

[0006] A feeding mechanism for a bottom material feeding device includes a feeding frame and a material bucket. The bottom plate of the feeding frame is provided with multiple positioning blocks. Every three positioning blocks that are not on the same straight line form a group. Each group of positioning blocks is used to position a material bucket. The bottom of the material bucket located on the four sides of the bottom plate extends out of the bottom plate. The outer side wall of each material bucket is provided with a retaining ring to prevent it from being gripped and detached by a robotic arm.

[0007] Furthermore, each of the positioning blocks has a guide slope at its upper end, and the guide slope is located on the side of the positioning block that is in contact with the material bucket.

[0008] Furthermore, the contact surface of the positioning block with the material bucket is an arc surface.

[0009] Furthermore, each set of positioning blocks is evenly distributed along the circumference of the material bucket.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the material bins has multiple retaining rings on its outer side wall to prevent the robotic arm from grabbing and slipping off.

[0011] Furthermore, every four positioning blocks that are not on the same straight line form a group.

[0012] Furthermore, positioning blocks are provided at each of the four corners of the base plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the lower end face of the base plate of the feeding rack is also provided with a base for cooperating with a forklift.

[0014] Furthermore, the base is a quadrangular prism.

[0015] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided at the lower end of the base. 。

[0016] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This utility model has a simple structure. Multiple positioning blocks are provided on the base plate of the feeding rack. Every three positioning blocks that are not on the same straight line form a group. Each group of positioning blocks is used to position a material bucket. The bottom of the material bucket located on the four sides of the base plate extends out of the base plate, so that the feeding rack can hold multiple material buckets. This realizes the efficient use of the feeding rack and improves work efficiency by rotating multiple material buckets at once.

[0018] Each of the material bins is equipped with a retaining ring on its outer side wall to prevent the material bin from slipping off when the robotic arm grasps it. This retaining ring helps prevent the material bin from slipping off when the robotic arm grasps it.

[0019] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of specific embodiment 1;

[0021] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Side view;

[0022] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the base and the fixing plate in specific embodiment 1;

[0023] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the positioning block in specific embodiment 1.

[0024] In the attached diagram, 1 is the feeding rack, 2 is the material bucket, 3 is the positioning block, 3-1 is the guide slope, 3-2 is the arc surface, 4 is the retaining ring, 5 is the base, and 6 is the fixing plate. Detailed Implementation Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4The diagram shows a feeding mechanism for a bottom material feeding device, comprising a feeding frame 1 and a material bin 2. The material bin 2 is a cylindrical bin. The base plate of the feeding frame 1 is a rectangular plate. Multiple positioning blocks 3 are provided on the base plate of the feeding frame 1. Every three positioning blocks 3, not on the same straight line, form a group. Each group of positioning blocks 3 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the material bin. Each group of positioning blocks 3 is used to position one material bin. After the material bin is positioned by multiple positioning blocks, it is placed more stably on the base plate. Positioning blocks 3 are provided at each of the four corners of the base plate. Each positioning block 3 has a guide slope 3-1 at its upper end. The guide slope 3-1 is located on the side of the positioning block that contacts the material bin. This guide slope facilitates the placement of the material bin, thus making it easier to pick up and put down. The contact surface of the positioning block 3 with the material bin is an arc surface 3-2, which makes the contact between the positioning block 3 and the material bin 2 more stable. The bottom of the material buckets 2, located on all four sides of the base plate, extends out of the base plate. Because the material buckets are limited by multiple positioning blocks, even if the bottom of the material bucket extends beyond the base plate, it will not affect the base plate's support for the material bucket, allowing the material buckets to be placed stably on the base plate and enabling the base plate to hold a larger number of material buckets at once. In this specific embodiment: five material buckets are placed on the base plate of the feeding rack 1, using three positioning blocks that are not on the same straight line as a group to position each material bucket; that is, one material bucket on each of the four sides of the base plate and one material bucket in the center.

[0027] Each material bin 2 has a retaining ring 4 on its outer side wall to prevent the robotic arm from slipping off. Multiple retaining rings 4 are provided on the outer side wall of each material bin 2 to prevent the robotic arm from slipping. Since the material bins are cylindrical, the outer wall is prone to detachment; the retaining rings 4 effectively prevent the risk of slippage when the robotic arm grasps the material bin. In this specific embodiment, the outer side wall of the material bin has three retaining rings. These multiple retaining rings allow for gripping different positions on the material bin and also enhance its strength.

[0028] The lower end of the base plate of the feeding rack 1 is also provided with a base 5 for cooperating with a forklift. The base 5 is a quadrangular prism, which facilitates the forklift to move and transport the feeding rack 1. The lower end of the quadrangular prism is provided with a fixing plate 6. The fixing plate 6 is a rectangular plate with bolt mounting holes. The quadrangular prism and the rectangular plate are staggered. When it is necessary to fix the feeding rack 1, the feeding rack 1 can be fixed by cooperating with the fixing plate 6 and bolts. It serves as a support platform for the material bucket, realizing multiple uses and expanding the scope of application.
