Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an automatic flipping baking tray rack. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing and industrial baking, baking trays are core equipment for achieving uniform heating of materials. Their level of automation and structural design directly affect production efficiency and product quality. With increasing market demands for the quality of baked goods and rising labor costs, traditional trays are gradually becoming insufficient to meet modern production needs. Technological innovation is needed to achieve efficient and precise baking processes.

[0003] Currently, most baking tray racks on the market use manual flipping or simple mechanical assistance to turn over the materials. Manual flipping relies on operators periodically checking and manually adjusting the tray angle. Its principle is to apply force directly to the edge of the tray, using leverage to achieve flipping. Simple mechanical assistance typically uses a fixed rotating shaft with a manual lever; the operator must manually turn the lever to rotate the tray. While these methods are simple in structure and low in cost, they rely heavily on manual intervention in practical applications, making standardized, large-scale production difficult.

[0004] However, traditional manual turning and simple mechanical assistance methods have significant drawbacks, namely low turning efficiency and difficulty in ensuring uniform heating of materials. Due to factors such as fatigue and lack of experience in manual operation, it is easy to cause untimely turning or deviation in the turning angle, resulting in localized scorching or undercooking of materials, reducing product qualification rate, causing raw material waste and energy consumption, and failing to meet the dual requirements of efficiency and quality in modern industrial production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic flipping baking tray rack, which aims to improve the problems of low efficiency, uneven heating of food, and unstable baking quality caused by untimely flipping due to traditional manual flipping.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic flip-type baking tray rack, including a support platform, a movable wheel fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support platform, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform, a support rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support rod, and an automatic flipping component provided at one end of the rotating shaft.

[0007] The automatic flipping component includes a gear, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating shaft, a holding tray fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a baffle slidably connected to the upper surface of the holding tray, a combined assembly provided on the outer wall of the holding tray, a sliding rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform, a cylinder fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform, a slider fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder, a sliding groove opened on the outer wall of the sliding rod, a rack fixedly connected to one end of the slider, and the tooth end of the rack meshing with the tooth end of the gear.

[0008] Furthermore, the assembly includes a limiting rod disposed on the outer wall of the serving tray, a support block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the serving tray, a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support block, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support block, a spring fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the support block, and a connecting plate fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft, and the second rotating shaft is used for the rotation of the limiting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod, and the spring is used to push the limiting rod to rotate.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the threaded rod is threaded to the inner wall of the limiting rod, and the threaded rod is used to limit the movement of the limiting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the slider is used to guide the movement of the rack.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rack is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide bar.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer wall of the connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting rod, and the limiting rod is used to fix the connecting plate.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, after the cylinder is started, it pushes the slider to slide along the slide rail groove, which drives the rack to move. The rack meshes with the gear, driving the tray to rotate around the shaft to achieve flipping. The reverse movement resets the cycle. This solves the problems of low efficiency, uneven heating of food, and unstable baking quality caused by untimely flipping in traditional manual flipping. It achieves automated flipping, precise control of tray rotation, improves food baking efficiency, ensures uniform heat distribution during baking, reduces the defect rate caused by human operation error, and effectively ensures the stability of baking quality.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the spring pushes the limiting rod to lock the connecting plate, and the fixed baffle prevents the food from falling. The rotating threaded rod releases the constraint, which can realize the quick disassembly of the baffle. During installation, it slides into the locking and repositions, thus achieving quick disassembly and installation of the baffle. When cleaning the serving tray, the baffle can be easily removed to thoroughly clean all corners. When handling different foods, the baffle of the corresponding specification can be flexibly replaced, which enhances the applicability and flexibility of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automatic flip-type baking tray rack, including a support platform 1, a movable wheel 2 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support platform 1, a support frame 3 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 1, a support rod 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 3, a rotating shaft 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support rod 4, and an automatic flipping component provided at one end of the rotating shaft 12.

[0027] The automatic flipping component includes a gear 9, the inner wall of which is fixedly connected to one end of a rotating shaft 12. A serving tray 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 to hold the food. The food is flipped with the rotating shaft 12 to ensure even heating. A baffle 6 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the serving tray 13. A combination component is provided on the outer wall of the serving tray 13. A slide rod 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 1. A cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 1. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 5 and slides in the groove 11 of the slide rod 7, driving the rack 8 to move linearly. The outer wall of the slide rod 7 has a groove 11. A rack 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 10 to transmit the linear motion of the cylinder 5 to the gear 9. The tooth ends of the rack 8 mesh with the tooth ends of the gear 9.

[0028] Specifically, during operation, the cylinder 5 starts and pushes the slider 10 to slide in the groove 11 of the slide bar 7, which guides the linear motion of the rack 8. The rack 8 meshes with the gear 9, converting the linear motion into rotational motion, which drives the gear 9 and the serving tray 13 on the rotating shaft 12 to rotate synchronously, thus achieving flipping and making the food evenly heated. When the cylinder 5 moves in the opposite direction, the rack 8 drives the gear 9 to reverse, and the serving tray 13 resets to complete the cycle.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 The assembly includes a limiting rod 16, which automatically engages the connecting plate 14 and locks the baffle 6 via the elastic force of a spring 19. The limiting rod 16 is located on the outer wall of the serving tray 13. A support block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the serving tray 13. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support block 15. A threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the support block 15. Manual rotation can restrict or release the rotation of the limiting rod 16. A spring 19 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the support block 15. The connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 6. The inner wall of the limiting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 18. The outer wall of the 18th ring is used for the rotation of the limiting rod 16. One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting rod 16. The spring 19 is used to push the limiting rod 16 to rotate. The outer wall of the threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting rod 16. The threaded rod 17 is used to limit the limiting rod 16. The outer wall of the slider 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 11. The slider 10 is used to guide the movement of the rack 8. The outer wall of the rack 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rod 7. The outer wall of the connecting plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting rod 16. The limiting rod 16 is used to fix the connecting plate 14.

[0030] Specifically, in the initial state, the spring 19 pushes the limiting rod 16 to rotate around the second pivot 18, locking the connecting plate 14 and fixing the baffle 6 on the serving tray 13 to prevent food from falling. When removing the baffle 6, the threaded rod 17 is rotated to release the constraint on the limiting rod 16, and the baffle 6 can be lifted by moving the limiting rod 16. During installation, the connecting plate 14 is slid into the bottom of the limiting rod 16 and locked in place. The threaded rod 17 is rotated to reposition, and the spring 19 ensures a proper fit.

[0031] Working principle: When an automatic flipping baking tray rack is needed, cylinder 5 is activated and pushes slider 10 to slide in the groove 11 of slide bar 7, providing guidance for the linear motion of rack 8. Rack 8 meshes with gear 9, converting linear motion into rotational motion, driving gear 9 and the tray 13 fixed on the same rotating shaft 12 to rotate synchronously, thus flipping the tray and ensuring that the food is heated evenly. When cylinder 5 moves in the opposite direction, rack 8 drives gear 9 to flip the tray, and tray 13 returns to its original position, completing one flipping cycle.

[0032] In the initial state, the spring 19 pushes the limiting rod 16 to rotate around the second pivot 18, causing it to lock the connecting plate 14 and fix the baffle 6 on the serving tray 13 to prevent food from falling. When it is necessary to remove the baffle 6, rotate the threaded rod 17 to disengage it from the limiting rod 16, releasing the constraint on the limiting rod 16. Then, by turning the limiting rod 16, it can be rotated. At this time, the baffle 6 can be lifted upwards, and the connecting plate 14 slides out from the limiting rod 16, completing the disassembly. During installation, slide the connecting plate 14 through the inclined surface of the limiting rod 16 to the bottom of the limiting rod 16 to achieve locking, and rotate the threaded rod 17 to reposition it. The spring 19 ensures that the limiting rod 16 and the connecting plate 14 are tightly fitted.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
