Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of crispy tubes, and specifically to an automatic crispy tube feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A cone typically refers to a cone-shaped, crispy waffle cone container, primarily used to hold ice cream (the "cone" part of a soft serve). Before processing, cones require a dispensing process. Traditionally, cone dispensing is mostly manual, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and human error limits efficiency, resulting in an unstable and inefficient process. Therefore, the idea of ​​developing an automatic dispensing machine has emerged. However, because cones are quite fragile, excessive force can damage them. Furthermore, adjacent cones are stacked together, so developing an automatic dispensing machine requires considering separating only one cone at a time without damaging it. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic brittle tube unloading machine. Through the arrangement of a support frame, a placement rack, a baffle assembly, and a clamping assembly, automated unloading is achieved, thereby improving efficiency and shortening time. Simultaneously, the baffle and the lever plate work together to separate a brittle tube. Furthermore, the brittle tube is held in place using a slot and a pre-shaped, rotating clamp, rather than a horizontal clamp driven by a drive source, thus reducing the force applied to the brittle tube and minimizing its impact. Therefore, this invention solves the problem of low efficiency and long time consumption caused by manual unloading operations.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0005] An automatic brittle tube feeding machine includes a support frame, and a placement rack for placing a row of brittle tubes is provided on the upper part of the support frame. The support frame has through holes for the brittle tubes to pass through, and a baffle assembly and a clamping assembly are provided below the support frame.

[0006] The baffle assembly includes a baffle and a lever located below the baffle. The baffle can move back and forth and can move up and down with the support. The lever can move back and forth and up and down with the support. The baffle and the lever are respectively provided with a slot 1 and a slot 2 on one side corresponding to the crispy tube. The clamping assembly includes a rotatable front clamp and a rear clamp. The front clamp and the rear clamp move closer or separate as they rotate. The space between the front clamp and the rear clamp after they move closer is for placing the crispy tube.

[0007] When the bottommost brittle cylinder is in slot two, the lever moves down with the support and moves the entire row of brittle cylinders down, bringing the bottommost brittle cylinder closer to the clamping assembly. At the same time as the support moves down, the baffle moves and places the brittle cylinder adjacent to the bottommost brittle cylinder in slot one. The lever moves down on its own, causing the bottommost brittle cylinder to separate from its adjacent brittle cylinder and be positioned between the front clamp and the rear clamp. After the lever moves down, it will move backward. At this time, the front clamp and the rear clamp rotate downward to separate and allow the bottommost brittle cylinder to fall freely, thus achieving material discharge.

[0008] Preferably, there are at least two card slots, both card slot one and card slot two, and at least two front clamps and two rear clamps.

[0009] Preferably, a drive source one for driving the dial to move back and forth is connected to the rear side of the dial, and a drive source two for driving the dial to move up and down is connected to the top of the drive source one, and the drive source two is disposed on the bracket.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting shaft is provided on one side of the bracket, and connecting plates two are provided at both ends of the connecting shaft. A connecting plate one is provided on the outside of the connecting plate two at one end of the connecting shaft. One end of the connecting plate one is connected to the connecting shaft, and the other end is connected to the driving source three. The middle part of the connecting plate two is connected to the connecting shaft, and one end of the connecting plate two is connected to the baffle through a connecting rod one.

[0011] The drive source three drives the first end of the connecting plate to move up and down, thereby driving the connecting shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the second connecting plate to rotate, and drives the first connecting rod to move back and forth, thereby driving the baffle to move back and forth.

[0012] Preferably, both sides of the baffle are provided with slider 1, and the bottom of the bracket is provided with slide rail and movable slider 2. Slider 1 and slider 2 are both movably mounted on the slide rail, and the other end of the connecting plate 2 is connected to slider 2 through connecting rod 2.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting plate is provided on one side of the bracket, and an extension plate is provided on the top side of the mounting plate, and a drive source four for driving the bracket to move up and down is connected to the top of the extension plate.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, with a front clamp provided on the first rotating shaft and a rear clamp provided on the second rotating shaft.

[0015] A drive source five is provided on one side of the bracket, and a synchronizing element is connected to the drive source five. An assembly rod one is provided at one end of the rotating shaft one, and one end of the assembly rod one is connected to the rotating shaft one. The other end of the assembly rod one is connected to one end of the synchronizing element through a connecting rod three. An assembly rod two is provided at one end of the rotating shaft two, and one end of the assembly rod two is connected to the rotating shaft two. The other end of the assembly rod two is connected to the other end of the synchronizing element through a connecting rod four.

The limiting rod includes a front rod and a rear rod, and the length of the front rod is less than the length of the rear rod.

[0017] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared to the prior art are:

[0018] This invention achieves automated material unloading through the arrangement of a bracket, a placement rack, a baffle assembly, and a clamping assembly, thereby improving efficiency and shortening time. At the same time, the baffle prevents adjacent crispy cylinders from being separated, and the downward movement of the lever plate drives the bottom crispy cylinder to separate a crispy cylinder. Furthermore, the crispy cylinder is clamped with a slot adapted to the crispy cylinder and a pre-shaped and rotating front clamp and rear clamp, instead of using a horizontal clamp driven by a drive source, thereby reducing the force applied to the crispy cylinder and thus reducing the impact on the crispy cylinder.

[0034] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an automatic crispy tube feeding machine includes a support 1, and a placement rack 2 for placing a row of crispy tubes is provided above the support 1. The support 1 has a through hole 11 for the crispy tubes to pass through, and a baffle assembly 3 and a clamping assembly 4 are provided below the support 1.

[0036] The baffle assembly 3 includes a baffle 31 and a lever 32 located below the baffle 31. The baffle 31 can move back and forth and can move up and down with the support 1. The lever 32 can move back and forth and up and down and can move up and down with the support 1. The baffle 31 and the lever 32 are respectively provided with a slot 311 and a slot 321 on one side corresponding to the crispy tube. The clamping assembly 4 includes a rotatable front clamp 41 and a rear clamp 42. The front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 move closer or separate as they rotate. The space between the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 after they move closer is a space for placing the crispy tube.

[0037] Therefore, in actual use, when the bottommost crispy cylinder is located in the second slot 321, the deflector 32 moves down with the support 1 and moves the entire row of crispy cylinders down, so that the bottommost crispy cylinder is close to the clamping assembly 4. At the same time as the support 1 moves down, the baffle 31 moves and makes the crispy cylinder adjacent to the bottommost crispy cylinder located in the first slot 311. The deflector 32 moves down alone, thereby causing the bottommost crispy cylinder to separate from its adjacent crispy cylinder and be located between the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42. After the deflector 32 moves down, it will move backward. At this time, the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 rotate downward respectively to separate and allow the bottommost crispy cylinder to fall freely, thereby realizing the material dropping.

[0038] Therefore, this utility model achieves automated material unloading by setting up a bracket 1, a placement rack 2, a baffle assembly 3, and a clamping assembly 4, thereby improving efficiency and shortening time. At the same time, the baffle 31 prevents the adjacent brittle cylinder from being separated, and the lowering of the lever plate 32 moves the lower brittle cylinder to achieve separation of a brittle cylinder. Moreover, the brittle cylinder is clamped by a slot adapted to the brittle cylinder and a fixed and rotating front clamp 41 and a rear clamp 42, instead of a horizontal clamp driven by a drive source, thereby reducing the force applied to the brittle cylinder and thus reducing the impact on the brittle cylinder.

[0039] Meanwhile, the movement of the crispy cylinder is downward, so it can move by gravity. Therefore, the force applied by the lever 32 to the crispy cylinder does not need to be very large; it only needs to separate the two crispy cylinders and hinder their downward movement. The rest can be achieved by gravity, which further reduces the force applied to the crispy cylinder and thus reduces its impact. In addition, silicone pads can be placed on the inner sides of the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 to separate the clamps and the crispy cylinder, thereby further reducing the impact on the crispy cylinder.

[0040] Secondly, as the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 rotate downwards, the deflector 32, the bracket 1 and the baffle 31 will return to their initial positions. That is, the deflector 32 contacts the lowest brittle cylinder after material is dropped, the bracket 1 is in the position before it moves down, and the baffle 31 is in the position before it moves forward, so that the next material dropping can be carried out.

[0041] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the number of card slots and clamps can be selected according to the actual situation. Specifically, there should be at least two card slots 311 and 321, and at least two front clamps 41 and rear clamps 42.

[0042] Meanwhile, the structure related to the movement of the lever 32 is as follows: First, a drive source 33 for driving the lever 32 to move back and forth is connected to the rear side of the lever 32, and a drive source 34 for driving the lever 32 to move up and down is connected to the top of the drive source 33, and the drive source 34 is mounted on the bracket 1. Moreover, the drive source 33 and the drive source 34 can be cylinders.

[0043] Secondly, the structure related to the movement of the baffle 31 is as follows: First, a connecting shaft 351 is provided on one side of the bracket 1, and a connecting plate 353 is provided at both ends of the connecting shaft 351. A connecting plate 352 is provided on the outside of the connecting plate 353 at one end of the connecting shaft 351. One end of the connecting plate 352 is connected to the connecting shaft 351, and the other end is connected to the drive source 36. The middle part of the connecting plate 353 is connected to the connecting shaft 351, and one end of the connecting plate 353 is connected to the baffle 31 through a connecting rod 354.

[0044] The driving source 36 can be a cylinder. Therefore, in actual use, the driving source 36 drives one end of the connecting plate 352 to move up and down, thereby driving the connecting shaft 351 connected to one end of the connecting plate 352 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate 353 to rotate, and drives the connecting rod 354 to move back and forth, thereby driving the baffle 31 to move back and forth.

[0045] Furthermore, to ensure that the movement does not deviate, there is a related guide structure, namely, slider 312 is provided on both sides of the baffle 31, and slide rail 12 and movable slider 355 are provided at the bottom of the bracket 1. Slider 312 and slider 355 are both movably mounted on slide rail 12, and the other end of connecting plate 353 is connected to slider 355 through connecting rod 356.

[0046] Therefore, in actual use, both slider 1 312 and slider 2 355 are adapted to slide rail 12, thereby guiding the movement of both ends of connecting plate 2 353, thus ensuring the movement direction of baffle 31.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, the structure related to the movement of the bracket 1 is as follows: First, a mounting plate 13 is provided on one side of the bracket 1, and an extension plate 14 is provided on the top side of the mounting plate 13. The top of the extension plate 14 is connected to a drive source 45 for driving the bracket 1 to move up and down. Moreover, the drive source 45 can be a cylinder, and two cylinders can be provided.

[0048] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the structure of the clamping assembly 4 is as follows: First, the clamping assembly 4 includes a first rotating shaft 43 and a second rotating shaft 44, and a front clamp 41 is provided on the first rotating shaft 43, and a rear clamp 42 is provided on the second rotating shaft 44.

[0049] Meanwhile, a drive source 5 6 is provided on one side of the bracket 1, and the drive source 5 6 is connected to a synchronizing element 61. An assembly rod 1 45 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 1 43, and one end of the assembly rod 1 45 is connected to the rotating shaft 1 43. The other end of the assembly rod 1 45 is connected to one end of the synchronizing element 61 through a connecting rod 3 46. An assembly rod 2 47 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 2 44, and one end of the assembly rod 2 47 is connected to the rotating shaft 2 44. The other end of the assembly rod 2 47 is connected to the other end of the synchronizing element 61 through a connecting rod 48.

[0050] The drive source 5 6 can be a cylinder. Therefore, in actual use, the drive source 5 6 drives the synchronizing component 61 to move downward, thereby causing the connecting rod 3 46 and the connecting rod 48 to move downward, which in turn causes one end of the assembly rod 1 45 and the assembly rod 2 47 to move downward, and causes the rotating shaft 1 43 and the rotating shaft 2 44 connected to the other end to rotate, thereby causing the front clamp 41 and the rear clamp 42 to rotate downward and separate.

[0051] Furthermore, the drive source 6 is disposed on the housing 62, and the housing 62 includes a side plate 621 and an assembly plate 622. The drive source 6 is disposed on the assembly plate 622, and a pad is disposed between the drive source 6 and the assembly plate 622. At the same time, the drive shaft of the drive source 6 passes through the assembly plate 622 and the pad to connect with the synchronizing member 61.

[0052] Secondly, this utility model also includes a base assembly 7 for mounting the material feeding related structures (support 1, placement rack 2, baffle assembly 3 and clamp assembly 4) on the machine, and the base assembly 7 is connected to the support 1 through a rod, and the base assembly 7 is provided with clamp assembly 4 and drive source 6.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the placement rack 2 is as follows: First, the placement rack 2 includes an upper plate 21 and a lower plate 22, as well as several limiting rods 23. The several limiting rods 23 form a space for placing a row of crispy tubes. The upper plate 21 has at least one mounting hole 211, and the lower plate 22 has at least one mounting hole 221. The top of the limiting rod 23 passes through the mounting hole 211 and protrudes, and the bottom of the limiting rod 23 passes through the mounting hole 221 and protrudes. The limiting rod 23 includes a front rod 231 and a rear rod 232, and the length of the front rod 231 is less than the length of the rear rod 232.

[0054] Therefore, in actual use, the different lengths of the front rod 231 and the rear rod 232 facilitate the placement and adjustment of the brittle cylinder. In addition, a top plate 24 is provided on the top of the rear rod 232, which connects and supports the ends of multiple rear rods 232, and a support rod 25 is provided between the upper plate 21 and the lower plate 22 to provide support.

[0055] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments; therefore, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the principles and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
