Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, specifically to a sausage roasting transmission mechanism, and a sausage roasting machine including such a sausage roasting transmission mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Sausages, hot dogs, and other round, flavored foods are primarily cooked using sausage grilling machines. The main working principle of a sausage grilling machine is as follows: an internal drive motor controls multiple cylindrical grilling tubes to rotate at a constant speed. The sausage is placed in the gap between two adjacent grilling tubes, where it is supported by two tubes. The rotation of the grilling tubes causes the sausage to rotate at a constant speed, continuously turning it over. Simultaneously, the heating elements inside the machine heat the sausage, thus cooking it.

[0003] Currently, the transmission principle for the rotation of the sausage tube is as follows: (See below) Figures 1-2 The drive motor 1 outputs rotation, which is transmitted simultaneously to each sausage tube 2 via a transmission mechanism. Currently, the transmission mechanism mainly adopts a gear set structure. Specifically, a driving gear 3 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 1. The driving gear 3 is connected to one of the sausage tube drive gears 4. Each pair of adjacent sausage tube drive gears is meshed with a driven gear 5. Therefore, through the transmission of several driven gears 5, the rotational motion is transmitted to each sausage tube drive gear 4. Each sausage tube drive gear 4 is connected to one sausage tube 2. In this way, through the transmission of multiple driven gears 5, all sausage tubes 2 rotate simultaneously at a uniform speed, causing the sausages on the sausage tubes 2 to rotate and turn over.

[0004] However, due to the large number of driven gears 5 and the complex meshing relationships between them (each driven gear 5 simultaneously meshes with two sausage tube 2 drive gears, and most sausage tube drive gears 4 also simultaneously mesh with two driven gears 5, see...), Figures 1-2 Sausage grilling machines typically require prolonged operation, rarely stopping during runtime. Therefore, this transmission structure is prone to gear wear and slippage. If even one gear fails, the entire transmission chain fails, resulting in a limited lifespan and requiring frequent maintenance and gear replacement. Furthermore, the large number of gears increases manufacturing and machining costs. Simultaneously, sausage grilling machines generate significant noise, lack smooth transmission, and produce considerable vibration. Sausage grilling machines require long-term, uniform, and stable operation to ensure continuous and even turning of the sausages without violent shaking, which would cause grease to spill into the machine's interior, making cleaning difficult. Therefore, sausage grilling machines demand high levels of smooth operation, a requirement that current transmission structures cannot adequately meet. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, one objective of this utility model is to provide a sausage roasting transmission mechanism, and the other objective is to provide a sausage roasting machine that includes such a sausage roasting transmission mechanism, which can solve the problem that the sausage cannot be turned over smoothly, quietly and stably in the internal transmission mechanism of the existing sausage roasting machine.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A sausage-grilling transmission mechanism includes: a drive motor, a drive wheel, sausage-grilling tube drive gears, a transmission belt, and sausage-grilling tubes; the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the drive wheel, the drive wheel is connected to one of the sausage-grilling tube drive gears, and multiple sausage-grilling tube drive gears are simultaneously engaged with the transmission belt to make all sausage-grilling tube drive gears rotate synchronously; each sausage-grilling tube drive gear is coaxially connected to one sausage-grilling tube to drive all sausage-grilling tubes to rotate synchronously; the multiple sausage-grilling tubes are arranged at intervals, and gaps are formed between adjacent sausage-grilling tubes to support the sausages.

[0008] Furthermore, the sausage transmission mechanism further includes: an internal tensioning gear; the internal tensioning gear is meshed with the transmission belt and is disposed inside the transmission belt; the internal tensioning gear tensions the inside of the transmission belt so that the transmission belt tightly abuts against the sausage tube drive gear.

[0009] Furthermore, the sausage transmission mechanism also includes: an outer tensioning roller; the outer tensioning roller is in close contact with the outer side of the transmission belt, and the outer tensioning roller rotates via a pivot; the outer tensioning roller and the inner tensioning gear together keep the transmission belt in a tensioned state.

[0010] Furthermore, the sausage transmission mechanism also includes a connecting gear; the connecting gear is simultaneously meshed with the drive wheel and a sausage tube drive gear to transmit the rotational motion of the drive wheel to the sausage tube drive gear.

[0011] Furthermore, the sausage transmission mechanism also includes: a gear inner core; a cavity is formed inside the sausage tube drive gear, and the gear inner core is tightly disposed inside the cavity of the sausage tube drive gear; the sausage tube is circumferentially fixedly connected to the gear inner core so as to rotate with the gear inner core.

[0012] Furthermore, the sausage tube includes: a roller and a shaft; the shaft is fixedly inserted into the roller, and one end of the shaft is fixedly inserted into the inner core of the gear; a gap is formed between two adjacent rollers to support the sausage.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner core of the gear is made of silicone or rubber.

[0014] Furthermore, the sausage transmission mechanism further includes: a mounting base plate; the drive motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting base plate, and the drive wheel and the connecting gear are arranged on the opposite side of the mounting base plate; the connecting gear is connected to a sausage tube drive gear through a coupling.

[0015] A sausage grilling machine, including the aforementioned sausage grilling transmission mechanism.

[0016] Furthermore, the sausage grilling machine also includes a heating element, which is located at the top of the sausage grilling tube.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are as follows:

[0018] When grilling sausages, the drive motor starts, which drives the drive wheel to rotate. The drive wheel drives one of the sausage grilling tube drive gears, which in turn drives the meshing transmission belt. The transmission belt then drives all the sausage grilling tube drive gears meshing with it to rotate simultaneously. As a result, all the sausage grilling tubes rotate synchronously, causing the sausages placed in the gaps between the sausage grilling tubes to rotate and turn over evenly.

[0019] Compared with the previous structure that used gear sets for transmission, this utility model has the following advantages: (1) It uses fewer gears, eliminating the need for multiple driven gears, reducing the number of parts, and lowering the material and machining costs of the gears; (2) This utility model is less prone to gear wear and slippage, and the possibility of transmission chain failure is lower, which is more conducive to the long-term stable operation of the equipment; (3) This utility model has better transmission stability, and the noise and vibration generated are significantly reduced. For sausage roasting machines that require long-term, uniform, and stable operation, this utility model is more conducive to ensuring that the sausages can be continuously and uniformly turned while rotating smoothly without generating severe shaking, thereby avoiding the problem of grease falling into various parts of the equipment. The transmission mechanism of this utility model is more in line with the actual working conditions and usage requirements of the sausage roasting machine. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

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.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between 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.

[0032] This utility model discloses a sausage grilling transmission mechanism, which is mainly used in sausage grilling machines and similar barbecue equipment. (See also...) Figures 3-7 The sausage-grilling transmission mechanism includes: a drive motor 10, a drive wheel 20, sausage-tube drive gears 30, a transmission belt 40, and sausage tubes 50. The number of sausage-tube drive gears 30 and sausage tubes 50 is multiple and consistent. The output shaft of the drive motor 10 is connected to the drive wheel 20. The sausage-tube drive gears 30 are arranged in a row, with the drive wheel 20 connected to a sausage-tube drive gear 30 located at the edge of the same row. All sausage-tube drive gears 30 are located inside the transmission belt 40 and mesh with it, allowing all sausage-tube drive gears 30 to rotate synchronously. The sausage tubes 50 are arranged at certain intervals, with the gap between adjacent sausage tubes 50 supporting the sausage 110. This gap is smaller than the width of the sausage 110, ensuring that the sausage 110 is supported by two sausage tubes 50.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] During sausage grilling, the drive motor 10 starts, causing the drive wheel 20 to rotate. The drive wheel 20 drives one of the sausage grilling tube drive gears 30, which in turn drives the meshing transmission belt 40. The transmission belt 40 then drives all the sausage grilling tube drive gears 30 meshing with it to rotate simultaneously. As a result, all the sausage grilling tubes 50 rotate synchronously, causing the sausages 110 placed between the sausage grilling tubes 50 to rotate and turn evenly. Of course, it is understandable that at the same time, the heating element inside the equipment will also heat and grill the sausages 110, thereby cooking the sausages 110.

[0035] Compared with the previous structure that uses gear sets for transmission, this utility model has the following advantages: (1) It uses fewer gears, eliminating the need for multiple driven gears, reducing the number of parts, and lowering the material and machining costs of the gears; (2) This utility model is less prone to gear wear and slippage, and the possibility of transmission chain failure is lower, which is more conducive to the long-term stable operation of the equipment; (3) This utility model has better transmission stability, and the noise and vibration generated are significantly reduced. For sausage roasting machines that require long-term, uniform, and stable operation, this utility model is more conducive to ensuring that the sausage 110 can be continuously and uniformly turned over, while rotating smoothly without generating severe shaking, thereby avoiding the problem of grease falling into various parts of the equipment. The transmission mechanism of this utility model is more in line with the actual working conditions and usage requirements of the sausage roasting machine.

[0036] To ensure that the transmission belt 40 maintains sufficient initial tension and sufficient friction with each sausage tube drive gear 30, thereby ensuring the stability and efficiency of the transmission mechanism, preferably, see [reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 7 The present invention also includes an internal tensioning gear 60; the internal tensioning gear 60 is meshed with the transmission belt 40 and is disposed inside the transmission belt 40; the internal tensioning gear 60 tensions the inside of the transmission belt 40 so that the transmission belt 40 tightly abuts against each sausage tube drive gear 30. Further, the present invention also includes an external tensioning roller 70; the external tensioning roller 70 tightly abuts against the outer side of the transmission belt 40, and the external tensioning roller 70 achieves rolling and rotation via a pivot; the external tensioning roller 70 and the internal tensioning gear 60 together tension the transmission belt 40 from the inside and outside.

[0037] Preferably, see Figures 4-5 This utility model also includes a connecting gear 80, which meshes with both the driving wheel 20 and a sausage tube driving gear 30, thereby transmitting the rotational motion of the driving wheel 20 to the sausage tube driving gear 30. By setting the connecting gear 80, intermediate transmission can be achieved, and the distance between the drive motor 10 and the sausage tube driving gear 30 can be increased, avoiding interference between the two in terms of installation position.

[0038] Preferably, see Figure 7This utility model also includes a gear inner core 90. A cavity is formed inside the sausage tube drive gear 30, and the gear inner core 90 is tightly disposed within the cavity of the sausage tube drive gear 30. The sausage tube 50 is circumferentially fixedly connected to the gear inner core 90 so as to rotate with the gear inner core 90. By designing the gear inner core 90, the gear inner core 90 is directly connected to the sausage tube 50 and transmits rotational motion. Therefore, when wear occurs at the connection point, the gear inner core 90 can be directly replaced without replacing the gear, thereby reducing material and disassembly costs. The gear inner core 90 can be directly removed and inserted without disengaging the gear and the transmission belt 40.

[0039] Preferably, the sausage tube 50 may include a roller and a shaft; the shaft is fixedly inserted inside the roller, and one end of the shaft is fixedly inserted into the gear core 90; a gap is formed between two adjacent rollers to support the sausage 110.

[0040] More preferably, the gear core 90 can be made of silicone or rubber, which has a lower material cost. At the same time, such materials have good elasticity, which is conducive to tightly wrapping the roller of the sausage tube 50, making the transmission of rotational motion between the two more stable.

[0041] Preferably, see Figures 3-4 The present invention also includes a mounting base plate 100, a drive motor 10 fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting base plate 100, a drive wheel 20 and a connecting gear 80 arranged on the opposite side of the mounting base plate 100; the connecting gear 80 is connected to a sausage tube drive gear 30 through a coupling.

[0042] This utility model also discloses a sausage grilling machine, which includes the aforementioned sausage grilling transmission mechanism. Any sausage grilling machine that uses the same or substantially the same sausage grilling transmission mechanism should be within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0043] Preferably, see Figure 6 The sausage grilling machine also includes a heating element 120 for heating and grilling sausages 110, which is located on the upper part of the grilling tube 50. The heating element 120 can be a conventional electric heating tube.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
