[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cake knife dispensing device, including a swing arm 100, an adsorption component 200, a second rotating shaft 300, a guide rod 400, a driving device 500, a housing 600, a protective cover 700, and a feeding mechanism 800.

[0038] The upper and lower ends of the swing arm 100 are respectively provided with a connecting shaft 110 and a first rotating shaft 120 for lateral rotation. The swing arm 100 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 120 to drive the connecting shaft 110 to swing from a first position to a second position. Specifically, the drive device 500 and the swing arm 100 are both located inside the housing 600. An arc-shaped hole 610 is provided on the side wall of the housing 600. The connecting shaft 110 extends to the outside through the arc-shaped hole 610. The arc-shaped hole 610 plays a role in avoidance and limiting. Furthermore, the first rotating shaft 120 is rotatably connected to the housing 600. The drive device 500 can drive the swing arm 100 to drive the connecting shaft 110 to swing from a first position to a second position.

[0039] A cake knife is placed at the first position. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 800 is located on one side of the housing 600. The feeding mechanism 800 has a discharge port 810, which is located at the first position. A cake knife is placed at the discharge port 810. Specifically, the feeding mechanism 800 is inclined downwards, the discharge port 810 is located at its lower end, and the cake knife is vertically arranged and inclined downwards relative to the horizontal plane.

[0040] The adsorption component 200 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 110 away from the swing arm 100. When the connecting shaft 110 is in the first position, the adsorption component 200 can adsorb the cake knife. The connecting shaft 110 is configured to synchronously drive the adsorption component 200 to rotate when the swing arm 100 swings. Specifically, the connecting shaft 110 rotates clockwise. When the connecting shaft 110 is in the second position, the adsorption component 200 is disengaged from the cake knife, so that the cake knife is placed in the second position. It should be noted that a conveyor belt is installed in the second position. When the connecting shaft 110 is in the second position, the cake knife is parallel to the horizontal plane, i.e., the surface of the conveyor belt, or forms an angle with the horizontal plane, with an angle of 10° to 30°. After that, the cake knife is placed on the conveyor belt and transported to the next process for packaging.

[0041] During operation, the swing arm 100 drives the connecting shaft 110 to swing, and the connecting shaft 110 synchronously drives the adsorption component 200 to rotate, adsorbing the cake knife from the first position and transporting it to the second position, which can greatly improve the material distribution efficiency and reduce labor costs.

[0042] In one embodiment, to ensure that the connecting shaft 110 can synchronously drive the adsorption assembly 200 to rotate when the swing arm 100 swings, a second rotating shaft 300 and a guide rod 400 are installed. The second rotating shaft 300 can rotate around its axial direction, and its axial direction is parallel to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 110. Specifically, the second rotating shaft 300 is fixed to the outside of the housing 600 by a bearing seat and is located near the arc-shaped hole 610. The guide rod 400 is arranged radially along the second rotating shaft 300, with one end rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 110 and the other end passing through the second rotating shaft 300 and slidably connected to it. Specifically, a linear bearing 310 is provided on the second rotating shaft 300 and coaxially arranged with the guide rod 400. The guide rod 400 is slidably connected to the linear bearing 310. That is, the connecting shaft 110 is driven to rotate through the cooperation of the second rotating shaft 300 and the guide rod 400. The structure is simple and stable.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, the drive device 500 includes a connecting plate 510, a motor 520, and a connecting rod 530. One end of the connecting plate 510 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 520, and the connecting plate 510 extends radially along the output shaft of the motor 520. Specifically, a speed reducer is matched on the motor 520, and one end of the connecting plate 510 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer. Further, the other end of the connecting plate 510 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 530, and the other end of the connecting rod 530 is rotatably connected to the swing arm 100. Specifically, the swing arm 100 has a connecting portion 130 extending along its width direction at a position between the first rotating shaft 120 and the connecting shaft 110. The swing arm 100 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 130 to facilitate the application of force. During operation, the motor 520 drives the connecting rod 530 to rotate by driving the connecting plate 510, thereby causing the swing arm 100 to swing. The transmission accuracy is high, and the swing angle and speed of the swing arm 100 can be precisely controlled to adapt to different material dispensing rhythm requirements.

[0044] In one embodiment, to ensure the safety of the cake dispensing device, a protective cover 700 is also installed. The protective cover 700 is hinged to the housing 600, and the connecting shaft 110 and the adsorption component 200 are both housed within the protective cover 700. The protective cover 700 can be opened by pushing it upwards so that the upper end of the protective cover 700 abuts against the upper end of the housing 600. The operation is simple. When the protective cover 700 covers the connecting shaft 110 and the adsorption component 200, its side wall facing the housing 600 abuts against the housing 600 to ensure the stability of the protective cover 700.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the cake knife includes a blade and a handle, and the adsorption component 200 includes two suction cups 210, which are respectively configured to adsorb the blade and handle of the cake knife. The two suction cups 210 act on the blade and handle respectively, which can balance the adsorption force and prevent the cake knife from tilting, flipping or falling due to uneven force during the transfer process. This can effectively improve the gripping stability and increase work efficiency.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the adsorption assembly 200 further includes a connecting seat 220 and a nut 230. One end of the connecting seat 220 is fixed on the connecting shaft 110 and extends radially along the connecting shaft 110. The suction cup 210 is mounted on the connecting seat 220, and the connecting seat 220 is provided with an adjustment hole 221 arranged along its length direction.

[0047] Furthermore, each suction cup 210 includes a tube 211 and a nozzle 212. One end of the tube 211 passes through an adjustment hole 221, and the nozzle 212 is located on the end of the tube 211. The other end of the tube 211 has a head 213. The tube 211 is also threaded with a nut 230, which is located between the head 213 and the nozzle 212. The nut 230 and the head 213 can clamp the connecting seat 220. The distance between the two suction cups 210 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment hole 221 to accommodate cake knives of different lengths and with different blade and handle ratios, which can greatly improve the versatility of the device. The suction cup 210 can be locked onto the connecting seat 220 by the cooperation between the nut 230 and the head 213. The structure is simple and easy to operate.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
