Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice crust production technology, and in particular to a stacking mechanism for a rice crust conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] A rice crust conveyor line is a mechanical device used in the production of rice crusts to transport them from one production stage to another. Rice crusts, a snack made from rice, corn, or other grains, require multiple steps in production, including cooking, baking, and cutting. The conveyor line primarily serves to improve production efficiency and ensure food hygiene and quality.

[0003] Currently, when packaging the sheet-shaped rice crackers on the rice cracker conveyor line, each packaging bag typically contains three sheet-shaped rice crackers. Workers need to pick up the three sheet-shaped rice crackers from the conveyor line and place them into the packaging belt for packaging. However, since the rice crackers on the conveyor line are mostly conveyed one by one, and there are gaps between adjacent rice crackers, workers need to pick up the three rice crackers from the conveyor line one by one when packaging, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the existing technology requires picking up three rice crackers one by one on the rice cracker conveyor line, which is slow. It provides a stacking mechanism for rice cracker conveyor lines to realize the automatic stacking of rice crackers, which saves a lot of time compared to manually picking up rice crackers one by one for packaging.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a stacking mechanism for a rice crust conveyor line, including a limiting component, a photoelectric sensor, a pressing component, and a fixing frame. The limiting component is installed on a first conveyor line; the photoelectric sensor is installed on a second conveyor line; the pressing component is disposed above the limiting component; the fixing frame is detachably connected to the pressing component by bolts, and the fixing frame is connected to the first conveyor line; the limiting component includes a first electric telescopic rod and a second electric telescopic rod, both of which are connected to the first conveyor line through mounting plates, and both the first and second electric telescopic rods have baffles connected to their ends.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: the pressure-down assembly includes an air outlet pipe, which is connected to the fixing frame by bolts, and is connected to the blower box by an air guide hose. Multiple air outlet nozzles are provided below the air outlet pipe.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the fixing frame is provided with an elongated hole, which is adapted to the bolt.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the mounting plate has a slot.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: both the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line are provided with conveyor belts, and the conveyor belts are provided with conveyor shafts, which are connected to the drive motors through gear sets.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the end of the baffle is an inclined plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a control box is provided on the first conveyor line, and a control panel is provided on the control box.

[0012] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention utilizes a first and a second electric telescopic rod mounted on a first conveyor line 7. When the rice crackers are conveyed on the first conveyor line, the extension lengths of the first and second electric telescopic rods can be adjusted according to the size and spacing of the rice crackers. When it is necessary to limit the stacking of the rice crackers, the two telescopic rods extend, causing the end baffles to move closer to the center of the conveyor line. When the rice crackers are blocked by the baffles and gradually gather to a certain quantity, the limiting component completes its phased task, achieving automatic stacking of the rice crackers. Compared to manually picking up and packaging the rice crackers one by one, this significantly saves time. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "vertical", "up", "down", "horizontal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a stacking mechanism for a rice crust conveying line according to this utility model includes a limiting component 1, a photoelectric sensor 2, a pressing component 3, and a fixing frame 4. The limiting component 1 is installed on a first conveying line 7; the photoelectric sensor 2 is installed on a second conveying line 8; the pressing component 3 is positioned above the limiting component 1; the fixing frame 4 is detachably connected to the pressing component 3 by bolts 5, and the fixing frame 4 is connected to the first conveying line 7; the limiting component 1 includes a first electric telescopic rod 101 and a second electric telescopic rod 102, both of which are connected to the first conveying line 7 by mounting plates 103, and baffles 104 are connected to the ends of both the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102.

[0024] In the technical solution of this utility model, the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102 are installed on the first conveyor line 7 and are securely connected by the mounting plate 103. When the rice crackers are conveyed on the first conveyor line 7, the telescopic lengths of the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102 can be adjusted by controlling the control panel 14 according to the size and spacing of the rice crackers through the preset program in the control box 13. When it is necessary to limit the stacking of the rice crackers, the two telescopic rods extend, causing the end baffles 104 to move closer to the center of the conveyor line. When the rice crackers are blocked by the baffles 104 and gradually gather to a certain number (e.g., three), the limiting component completes its stage task, realizing the automatic stacking of the rice crackers. Compared with manually picking up the rice crackers one by one for packaging, it greatly saves time. Through the automatic gathering of rice crackers by the limiting component, the precise detection by the photoelectric sensor, and the rapid pressing down of the stacking component, the whole process is smooth and efficient, which can complete the stacking and packaging of a large number of rice crackers in a short time, significantly improving the working efficiency of the production line.

[0025] Specifically, by installing photoelectric sensor 2 on the second conveyor line 8, it is possible to accurately detect whether the rice crust has reached the set position, ensuring that the stacking action is carried out at the right time, thereby avoiding stacking too early or too late. The photoelectric sensor 2 will immediately transmit the signal to the control box 13.

[0026] The baffle 104 has an inclined end; this inclined end reduces collisions and damage to the rice crusts when guiding them to gather. Meanwhile, the pressing component uses airflow pressing, which is gentler than mechanical pressing and effectively prevents the rice crusts from breaking or deforming during stacking, ensuring product integrity and quality.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the pressing assembly 3 includes an exhaust pipe 31, which is connected to the fixing frame 4 by bolts 5. The exhaust pipe 31 is connected to the blower box 33 via an exhaust hose 32, and multiple air nozzles 34 are arranged below the exhaust pipe 31. Because the pressing assembly 3 is located above the limiting assembly 1, the exhaust pipe 31 is connected to the fixing frame 4 by bolts 5, and the exhaust pipe 31 is connected to the blower box 33 via the exhaust hose 32. When the control box 13 receives the signal from the photoelectric sensor 2 indicating that the rice crust group is in position, it will start the blower box 33. The high-pressure gas generated by the blower box 33 enters the exhaust pipe 31 through the exhaust hose 32, and then is sprayed out from the multiple air nozzles 34 arranged below the exhaust pipe 31. These high-pressure airflows form a downward thrust, pressing the rice crust group (usually three) gathered on the first conveyor line 7 down to the appropriate position.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the fixed frame 4 has an elongated hole 6, which is adapted to the bolt 5; the fixed frame 4 is detachably connected to the pressing assembly 3 by the bolt 5, and the fixed frame 4 has an elongated hole 6, which is adapted to the bolt 5. This allows the position of the pressing assembly 3 on the fixed frame 4 to be adjusted according to actual production needs. For example, when the size of the rice crust changes, or the relative position of the first conveyor line 7 and the packaging station changes, the bolt 5 can be loosened, the pressing assembly 3 can be moved along the direction of the elongated hole 6, adjusted to a suitable position, and then the bolt 5 can be tightened to ensure that the air nozzle 34 can accurately press the rice crust assembly.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the mounting plate 103 has a slot 105. This slot 105 is primarily for facilitating the installation and maintenance of the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102. During installation, the mounting plate 103 can be more easily connected and fixed to the first conveyor line 7 through the slot 105. Simultaneously, during later maintenance, it facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the electric telescopic rods, improving equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, both the first conveyor line 7 and the second conveyor line 8 are equipped with conveyor belts 9, and conveyor shafts 10 are installed inside the conveyor belts 9. The conveyor shafts 10 are connected to the drive motors 12 via gear sets 11. The drive motors 12 serve as the power source for the conveyor lines, transmitting power to the conveyor shafts 10 through the gear sets 11. The gear sets 11 can adjust and match the rotational speed of the drive motors 12 according to the actual production speed requirements, ensuring that the conveyor belts 9 convey the rice crusts at a suitable speed.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, specifically, a control box 13 is installed on the first conveyor line 7, and a control panel 14 is installed on the control box 13. The control box 13 on the first conveyor line 7 is the control core of the entire stacking mechanism. It integrates various control circuits and programs. The control panel 14 is connected to the control box 13, and the operator can operate and monitor the entire mechanism through the control panel 14. On the control panel 14, the operator can set various parameters, such as the extension and retraction time and length of the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102, the blowing pressure and time of the blower box 33, and the running speed of the conveyor line. At the same time, the control panel 14 can also display the operating status of the equipment in real time, such as the detection signal of the photoelectric sensor 2 and the working status of each motor, so that the operator can understand the equipment status and make adjustments in a timely manner.

[0032] Working Principle: The first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102 are installed on the first conveyor line 7 and securely connected by the mounting plate 103. When the rice crackers are conveyed on the first conveyor line 7, the telescopic lengths of the first electric telescopic rod 101 and the second electric telescopic rod 102 can be adjusted by controlling the control panel 14 according to the size and spacing of the rice crackers, through a preset program in the control box 13. When it is necessary to limit the stacking of the rice crackers, the two telescopic rods extend, causing the end baffles 104 to move closer to the center of the conveyor line. When the rice crackers are blocked by the baffles 104 and gradually gather to a certain number (e.g., three), the limiting component completes its stage task, realizing the automatic stacking of the rice crackers. Compared with manually picking up the rice crackers one by one for packaging, it greatly saves time. Through the automatic gathering of rice crackers by the limiting component, the precise detection by the photoelectric sensor, and the rapid pressing down of the stacking component, the whole process is smooth and efficient, which can complete the stacking and packaging of a large number of rice crackers in a short time, significantly improving the working efficiency of the production line.
