Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transfer and conveying devices, and more specifically to a transfer device for an ice cup conveying line. Background Technology

[0002] In the ice cup production and packaging process, the transfer conveyor system, as a key piece of equipment connecting the preceding and following processes, directly affects production efficiency and product quality. However, existing ice cup conveyor systems generally suffer from the following problems:

[0003] (1) Insufficient adaptability: Traditional conveyor channels are mostly designed with a fixed width, which cannot be adapted to ice cups of different specifications (such as products with large diameter differences). When the product size changes, equipment parts need to be replaced or adjusted, resulting in long downtime, reduced production efficiency, and increased operating costs for enterprises.

[0004] (2) Poor conveying efficiency and stability: Existing equipment often affects continuity due to the accumulation and jamming of ice cups during the conveying process. For example, there is a lack of effective sorting mechanism at the discharge port, and ice cups are prone to slipping off in batches, making it difficult for subsequent processes to accurately grab or package them. In addition, the frictional resistance at the bottom of the material channel is large, and the ice cups slip at uneven speeds, which further aggravates the problem of unstable conveying.

[0005] (3) Low equipment compatibility: The connection between the transfer device and the upstream equipment is often rigidly fixed, which is difficult to adapt to the height or angle differences of different equipment. Frequent adjustments are required during installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the connection stability is insufficient, and misalignment or vibration is prone to occur, affecting the overall coordination of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0031] Conveying channel 1 is used for sliding and conveying ice cups;

[0032] The material channel width adjustment mechanism includes two adjusting baffles 2 and a lateral adjustment component.

[0033] The sequential conveying assembly includes a V-shaped feed plate 11, a mounting frame 9, and a swing drive assembly. The mounting frame 9 is mounted on the conveying channel 1. The V-shaped feed plate 11 is located at the outlet of the conveying channel 1 and is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 9. The opening of the V-shaped feed plate 11 faces the conveying channel 1. The swing drive assembly is mounted on the conveying channel 1 and connected to the V-shaped feed plate 11 to drive the V-shaped feed plate 11 to swing.

[0034] An inclined connecting assembly is located at the bottom of the feed inlet of conveyor channel 1 and is used to connect with the intermediate transfer equipment.

[0035] Preferably, the lateral adjustment assembly includes several adjustment plates 3 and several adjustment bolts 5. Several adjustment waist-shaped grooves 4 are provided on the adjustment plates 3. Several fixing plates 7 are provided on both sides of the conveying channel 1. Several fixing holes are provided on the fixing plates 7. The adjustment bolts 5 pass through the adjustment waist-shaped grooves 4 and the fixing holes respectively and are equipped with adjustment nuts 8.

[0036] Specifically, by adjusting the bolt 5 in conjunction with the adjusting groove 4, the lateral spacing between the two adjusting baffles 2 is changed, thereby adjusting the effective width of the conveying channel 1. The groove design allows the bolt to slide within a certain range, and multi-level adjustment is achieved in conjunction with the fixing holes of the fixing plate 7;

[0037] It is highly flexible and can be adapted to ice cups of different diameters; the adjustment process does not require disassembly of components, making it easy to operate; the combination of the waist-shaped groove and the bolt provides a stable locking force, ensuring that the width of the material channel does not shift during the conveying process.

[0038] Preferably, the swing drive assembly includes a drive cylinder 13, the V-shaped feeding plate 11 is connected to a rotating shaft 10, the two ends of the rotating shaft 10 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting frame 9, and one end of the rotating shaft 10 extends out of the mounting frame 9 and is fixedly connected to a drive plate 12. The body of the drive cylinder 13 is hinged to the conveying channel 1, and the piston rod of the drive cylinder 13 is hinged to the drive plate 12. When the piston rod of the drive cylinder 13 extends or retracts, it can drive the drive plate 12 to swing, thereby driving the V-shaped feeding plate 11 to swing.

[0039] Specifically, the drive cylinder 13 drives the drive plate 12 to swing through the extension and retraction of the piston rod. The drive plate 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 10 of the V-shaped feeding plate 11, thereby driving the V-shaped feeding plate 11 to swing periodically. During the swing, the V-shaped opening just catches an ice cup and drives the ice cup to move, realizing the release one by one.

[0044] Furthermore, the multi-bolt fixing improves connection stability; the waist-shaped groove design enables adaptive adjustment of height and angle, reducing installation complexity; and the modular design facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0045] Preferably, the bottom of the conveying channel 1 is provided with several strip-shaped protrusions 6; specifically, the protrusion structure reduces the contact area between the ice cup and the bottom of the channel, reduces sliding friction resistance, makes the ice cup slide more smoothly, and reduces jamming; the protrusion structure can be designed as wave-shaped or sawtooth-shaped to further optimize the guiding effect.

[0046] Overall working process of the device:

[0047] 1. Feeding stage: Ice cups enter the conveyor channel 1 from the intermediate transfer equipment through the inclined connecting component. The inclination angle ensures that the ice cups slide in naturally.

[0048] 2. Width adjustment: According to the size of the ice cup, adjust the distance between the two side adjustment baffles 2 through the horizontal adjustment component to ensure that the ice cup is transported in the center (this process is adjusted and controlled before transport or during trial run).

[0049] 3. Sliding Conveying: Under the action of gravity, the ice cup slides along the conveying channel 1 towards the discharge port. The bottom strip protrusion 6 reduces friction and improves conveying efficiency.

[0050] 4. One-by-one delivery: The V-shaped feeder plate 11 oscillates periodically under the action of the oscillation drive component, releasing individual ice cups one by one, thus achieving orderly output.

[0051] 5. Connecting to the next process: After being released, the ice cups enter the subsequent processing or packaging equipment through the discharge port, completing the transfer process.

[0052] advantage:

[0053] 1. High efficiency and stability: The precise cooperation between the V-shaped feeding plate 11 and the cylinder enables ice cups to be conveyed one by one, reducing accumulation; the design of the strip protrusion 6 improves the sliding efficiency and the overall conveying speed efficiency.

[0054] 2. Strong adaptability: The horizontal adjustment component can be adapted to various sizes of ice cups, and the tilt connection component is compatible with different front-end equipment, significantly expanding the application scenarios of the device.

[0055] 3. Structural optimization: Modular design (such as detachable adjustable baffle 2 and connecting plate 15) simplifies the maintenance process; the combination of rotating bearing and drive cylinder 13 reduces mechanical wear and extends equipment life.

[0056] 4. Cost-effectiveness: Reduce downtime by minimizing lag and failure rates; universal design reduces equipment replacement costs due to changes in product specifications.
