Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of egg tart production equipment, and in particular to an egg tart cup feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the egg tart processing stage, existing egg tart cup feeding devices typically rely on the coordinated operation of multiple mechanisms to ensure feeding accuracy and stability. For example, they use independent lifting mechanisms to achieve vertical height adjustment, while simultaneously combining them with translational structures to achieve precise horizontal positioning. These devices require two independent drive systems, such as lifting cylinders or motors working with slide rail modules, and lateral movement guides and drive components. This complicates the overall mechanical structure, increasing manufacturing costs and maintenance difficulty. Furthermore, the need for synchronous control between multiple mechanisms further complicates the system, making it prone to action delays or coordination errors. Additionally, the two-step movement leads to low feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an egg tart cup feeding device, which solves the technical problems of complex drive structure and low feeding efficiency in existing egg tart cup feeding devices.

[0004] An egg tart cup feeding device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an egg tart cup storage device and a flip-feeding device disposed on one side of the top of the egg tart cup storage device.

[0005] The egg tart cup storage device has rectangular storage slots evenly distributed on each slot, and egg tart cups are stacked vertically on each storage slot.

[0006] The flipping and feeding device includes robotic arm mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the egg tart cup storage device and rectangularly distributed vacuum suction heads. The top of the two robotic arm mechanisms is provided with a gripping plate, and the vacuum suction heads are all set on the gripping plate. The vacuum suction heads correspond one-to-one with the storage positions.

[0007] The two robotic arm mechanisms are connected to a flipping device at their bottom. The robotic arm mechanism is equipped with a synchronous drive mechanism, which is connected to the flipping device and the gripping plate. The flipping device can drive the gripping plate and the robotic arm mechanism to rotate synchronously.

[0008] The technical principle of this utility model is as follows: the egg tart cups stacked on the storage position are sucked up by the vacuum suction head, and then the flipping device drives the mechanical arm mechanism to flip. At the same time, the synchronous drive mechanism is driven synchronously by the flipping device, which in turn drives the gripping plate and the vacuum suction head on the gripping plate to rotate synchronously. Finally, the plate rotates to the other side of the egg tart cup storage device, and then the vacuum suction head releases the egg tart cups to complete the feeding.

[0009] Because the transmission of the synchronous drive mechanism and the rotation of the robotic arm are synchronized, the bottom of the gripping plate is always facing the ground and will not tilt.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: by using the egg tart cup storage device in conjunction with the flipping device and the mechanical arm mechanism, synchronous drive mechanism and flipping plate connected to it, the egg tart cup is fed through a single drive component, which solves the technical problems of complex drive structure and low feeding efficiency of the existing egg tart cup feeding device.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two egg tart cup storage devices, and a rotating plate is provided under each of the two egg tart cup storage devices. A rotating motor is connected to the center of the rotating plate.

[0012] By using two egg tart cup storage devices, manual placement of egg tart cups and automated feeding can be achieved simultaneously, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the egg tart cup storage device includes a base plate and several sets of egg tart cup fixing rods evenly distributed on the base plate. Each set of egg tart cup fixing rods corresponds to a storage position. The base plate is provided with a feeding plate, and the feeding plate is provided with a passage opening. The egg tart cup fixing rods pass through the passage opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom sides of the feeding plate are provided with a pushing mechanism.

[0015] The pushing mechanism allows the egg tart cups below to be pushed up one by one after the top egg tart cup is removed, reducing the difficulty of the flip-feeding device in removing the egg tart cups.

[0016] Furthermore, each set of egg tart cup fixing rods has a total of four rods, and the top of each egg tart fixing rod is provided with a discharge baffle, and the discharge baffle is provided with a discharge port at the corresponding storage position.

[0017] The purpose of setting up the discharge baffle and discharge port is to create some resistance when removing the egg tart cups, ensuring that only one egg tart cup can be removed at a time, and preventing multiple egg tart cups from sticking together and being removed.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the discharge port extends to the edge of the discharge baffle.

[0019] The above structure gives the outlet a certain degree of elasticity, preventing it from providing excessive resistance to the egg tart cups.

[0020] Furthermore, the egg tart cup storage device is provided with an outer frame, and the two robotic arm mechanisms are respectively installed on the outer frame. A flipping device is fixed to one end of the outer frame near the robotic arm mechanism.

[0021] This serves to protect the egg tart cup storage unit and also prevents the operator from being injured when the two egg tart cup storage units are moved.

[0022] Furthermore, the flipping device includes a flipping motor and a transmission rod connected to the flipping motor, the transmission rod being driven to the bottom of the two robotic arm mechanisms.

[0023] It achieves the simultaneous rotation of two robotic arm mechanisms on both sides by a single flip motor, while ensuring that the rotation angles are the same.

[0024] Furthermore, the synchronous drive mechanism includes an active pulley and a passive pulley, as well as a synchronous belt connecting the active pulley and the passive pulley. The active pulley is mounted on a transmission rod, the passive pulley is mounted on the top of the robotic arm mechanism, and the passive pulley is connected to a synchronous rod. The synchronous rod is connected to the top of the two robotic arm mechanisms respectively, and the synchronous rod is connected to the gripping plate.

[0025] By using a synchronous belt drive, the rotation ratio of the transmission rod and the synchronous rod is the same, ensuring that the bottom of the gripping plate always faces the ground.

[0026] Furthermore, a tensioning pulley is provided between the active pulley and the passive pulley. The tensioning pulley is in close contact with the outer surface of the synchronous belt and is mounted on the robotic arm mechanism.

[0027] A tension pulley is installed to ensure the synchronicity of the synchronous belt drive and prevent steps from being missed.

[0028] Furthermore, the middle part of the synchronizing rod is a hollow structure, and a vacuum adsorption tube is provided in the synchronizing rod. The vacuum adsorption tube is connected to all vacuum adsorption heads, and the vacuum adsorption tube extends out from one end of the synchronizing rod and is connected to a vacuum adsorption machine.

[0029] The pipeline connection of the vacuum adsorption head has been effectively optimized, making the pipeline structure on the gripping plate simple and uncluttered. At the same time, because the vacuum adsorption tube is set in the center of the synchronization rod, the rotation of the synchronization rod will not have too much impact on the vacuum adsorption tube.

[0056] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] like Figure 1 The tower skin production method shown in the tower skin production line includes:

[0058] a. Storage: Stack the empty egg tart cups one by one in the storage position of the egg tart cup storage device 71.

[0059] Specifically, this step involves two egg tart cup storage devices 71. After filling one egg tart cup storage device 71 with egg tart cups, it is rotated 180° and then the egg tart cups are placed on the other egg tart cup storage device 71. At the same time, step b1 can be performed.

[0060] b1. Loading: The flipping loading device 72 controls its robotic arm mechanism 721 to bring the suction vacuum head 723 close to the egg tart cup storage device 71, adsorbing the top layer of egg tart cups onto the suction vacuum head 723, and then moving it to the conveying device 4 to complete the loading of empty egg tart cups.

[0061] b2. Cutting: The tower roll is placed on the tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81 and cut into slices of dough by the ultrasonic cutter device 82. Then, the dough is conveyed by the tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81 to the height difference conveyor belt 9. Because the height difference conveyor belt 9 is lower than the tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81, the dough will change from a vertical state to a horizontal state here, thus completing the tower roll to dough process. Specifically, steps b2 and a are synchronized with steps b1 and there is no order of priority.

[0062] c. Handling: The dough from step b2 will be conveyed to the grabbing device 91. The grabbing mechanism will grab the dough into the egg tart cups on the conveying device 4 from step b1, completing the combination of dough and empty egg tart cups.

[0063] d. Transfer: Conveying device 4 transfers the egg tart cups containing dough to conveying device 4 of the tart crust production line.

[0064] S1. Pre-pressing: The conveying device 4 conveys the egg tart cups with dough to the pre-pressing device 1. The pre-pressing device 1 presses the dough onto the bottom of the egg tart cup, so that the dough is tightly attached to the bottom of the egg tart cup. The main purpose here is to press the dough firmly onto the bottom of the egg tart cup so that the dough does not shift when adding filling later.

[0065] S2, First feeding: The conveying device 4 conveys the egg tart cups that have completed step S1 to the first feeding device 2. The first feeding device 2 uses the feeding head 311 to press an indentation in the center of the dough inside the egg tart shell. The indentation is the deepest part of the egg tart shell. Then the feeding head 311 moves left and right. At the same time, the rotating device 6 of the first feeding device 2 drives the egg tart cup to rotate, completing the first feeding. The first feeding is carried out by one feeding head 311. One feeding head 311 can quickly bring the dough close to the shape of the egg tart shell, improving production efficiency.

[0066] S3, Two-stage feeding: The conveying device 4 conveys the egg tart cups that have completed step S2 to the double-rod feeding device 3. The rotating device 6 of the double-rod feeding device 3 drives the egg tart cups to rotate. The two feeding heads 311 of the double-rod feeding device 3 make a reciprocating motion of moving away from and towards each other at the center of the egg tart crust. Through the reciprocating motion of the two feeding heads 311 moving away from and towards each other, a fine feeding motion is performed. Because of its symmetry, the egg tart crust can be directly fed to the required egg tart crust shape without the need for subsequent stamping and shaping.

[0067] The specific S3 step is performed at least twice. In the embodiments, a three-time feeding method is used. The height and stroke of the two feeding heads 311 in each reciprocating motion are different. The depth of each reciprocating motion is shallower and the stroke is greater in time sequence. The height of the first reciprocating motion is higher than the height of the feeding head 311 of the first feeding device 2. This method can directly produce the egg tart shell into the required shape. Its essence is achieved through the specific shape of the feeding head 311 and the feeding stroke design. The optimal method is to use a horizontal feeding method because its movement distance is easy to control, thereby effectively ensuring the final egg tart shell forming effect.

[0068] S4. Discharge: Conveyor 4 conveys the tart shells that have completed the last step S3 to the next process.

[0069] The above-mentioned tart crust production line's tart crust production method, after trial operation, produced 1000 tart crusts, and not a single tart crust was found to be out of shape.

[0070] Example 1

[0071] like Figure 2-10 The tower skin production line shown includes:

[0072] Pre-stamping device 1: It is equipped with a stamping head 111 that moves vertically and is used for the pre-stamping step S1.

[0073] First feeding device 2: includes a rotating device 6 and a first feeding mechanism set on the upper side of the rotating device 6. The first feeding mechanism is provided with a feeding head 311 that swings or moves in the horizontal direction for the first feeding step of S2.

[0074] A double-bar feeding device 3 includes a rotating device 6 and a double-bar feeding mechanism set on the upper side of the rotating device 6. The double-bar feeding mechanism is provided with a feeding head group that swings or moves horizontally. The feeding head group includes two feeding heads 311 that swing or move away from each other, and performs feeding at different heights and different strokes multiple times for the two feeding steps in S3.

[0075] Conveying device 4: Pre-punching device 1, first feeding device 2 and at least one double-rod feeding device 3 are sequentially arranged on conveying device 4 for conveying in steps S1-S4.

[0076] The conveying device 4 is evenly distributed with bearing plates 41. The bearing plates 41 move along the conveying direction of the conveying device 4. The punch head 111, the first feeding mechanism and all double rod feeding mechanisms are located on the upper side of the bearing plate 41, and all rotating devices 6 are located on the lower side of the bearing plate 41.

[0077] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the bearing plate 41 has rectangular processing positions 401 evenly distributed, the pre-punching device 1 has rectangular punching heads 111 evenly distributed, the first feeding device 2 has rectangular feeding heads 311 evenly distributed, and the double-rod feeding device 3 has rectangular feeding head groups evenly distributed. Each feeding head 311 of the first feeding device 2 and each feeding head group of the double-rod feeding device 3 is provided with a corresponding rotating device 6 on its lower side. The number of processing positions 401 in a row is the same as the number of punching heads 111, feeding heads 311, and feeding head groups, realizing the mass production of egg tart shells and effectively improving production efficiency.

[0078] like Figure 3 As shown, the pre-stamping device 1 includes a stamping frame 11 and a lifting frame 12. The stamping heads 111 are rectangularly and evenly distributed on the stamping frame 11. The lifting frame 12 is located on the lower side of the bearing plate 41. Support heads 121 are rectangularly and evenly distributed on the lifting frame 12. The support heads 121 correspond one-to-one with the stamping heads 111. Lifting devices 5 are provided on both sides of the stamping frame 11 and the lifting frame 12. While driving the stamping heads 111 to move downward, they can drive the support heads 121 to move up and down to support the egg tart cups. Specifically, the stamping head 111 of this application can adopt the upper die head structure in the dough stamping device of publication number CN218337607U.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the first feeding mechanism includes a support frame 21 and a moving mechanism 22 mounted on the support frame 21. The moving mechanism 22 includes a drive motor 221 and a screw mechanism 222 connected to the drive motor 221. Both the drive motor 221 and the screw mechanism 222 are mounted at one end of the support frame 21. Movable rods 31 are evenly distributed along the width of the support frame 21. The movable rods 31 can move along the length of the support frame 21. One end of all the movable rods 31 is connected to a transmission plate 32, which is connected to the screw mechanism 222. A row of feeding heads 311 are mounted on the same movable rod 31. Thus, the movement of all the feeding heads 311 can be controlled by one movable rod 31, and the movement of all the movable rods 31 can be controlled by one screw mechanism 222.

[0080] This embodiment uses a horizontal movement method, which can achieve precise control of the feeding head 311 through the above simple structure, and realize the mass production of egg tart shells.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, the double-bar feeding mechanism includes a support frame 21 and two moving mechanisms 22 symmetrically arranged on the support frame 21. Each moving mechanism 22 includes a drive motor 221 and a screw mechanism 222 connected to the drive motor 221. The two drive motors 221 and the screw mechanism 222 are respectively installed at both ends of the support frame 21. Movable rod groups are evenly distributed along the width of the support frame 21. Each movable rod group includes two parallel movable rods 31, which can move along the length of the support frame 21. One end of one movable rod 31 in all movable rod groups is connected to a transmission plate 32, and the other end of the other movable rod 31 in all movable rod groups is also connected to a transmission plate 32. The two transmission plates 32 are respectively connected to the screw mechanisms 222 of the two moving mechanisms 22. Two feeding heads 311 of a row of feeding heads are respectively installed on the two movable rods 31 of a movable rod group, and the two feeding heads 311 are installed on one side close to each other, so that the two movable rods 31 can support each other, making the movement of the two feeding heads 311 more stable.

[0082] The double-bar feeding mechanism in this application can replace the first feeding mechanism and form the first feeding device 2 with the rotating device 6. That is, the double-bar feeding device 3 can replace the first feeding device 2 to complete the first feeding step of S2. However, because the structure of the first feeding device 2 is simpler than that of the double-bar feeding device 3, it helps to reduce the cost of the entire production line.

[0083] like Figure 6-8 As shown, all rotating devices 6 of the first feeding device 2 or the double-bar feeding device 3 are provided with a common lifting frame 64. The lifting frame 64 is provided with a rotating motor 641, and the rotating motor 641 is connected to at least one row of rotating devices 6.

[0084] The specific rotating device 6 includes a rotating tube 61, a rotating disk 62 set at the top of the rotating tube 61, and a drive gear 63 set at the bottom of the rotating tube 61. The drive gear 63 is connected to the rotating motor 641 by belt drive, and the transmission connection method can be a sequential gear meshing transmission method. The rotating tube 61 is provided with a bearing seat 611, which is mounted on the lifting frame 64 to realize the installation of the rotating tube 61. Each rotating disk 62 is aligned with a processing position 401. The bearing plate 41 is provided with a mounting hole 411 corresponding to the processing position 401. A rotating ring 412 is provided in the mounting hole 411. The bottom of the rotating ring 412 is connected to the rotating disk 62, so that the rotating disk 62 can drive the rotating ring 412 to rotate, thereby causing the egg tart cups placed on the rotating ring 412 to rotate as well.

[0085] The rotating ring 412 has stripes, and the inner circumference of the rotating disk 62 is evenly distributed with conical blocks 621. A spring is provided between the conical blocks 621 and the rotating disk 62 to ensure that the conical blocks 621 can press against the stripes.

[0086] like Figure 8 As shown, the rotating disk 62 has an adsorption head 65 at its center, and the rotating tube 61 has an adsorption tube 651 at its center. Of course, the hollow structure of the rotating tube 61 can also be used to replace the adsorption tube 651. All adsorption tubes 651 are connected to a common negative pressure adsorption machine. The adsorption tube 651 is connected to the adsorption head 65, which can give an adsorption force to the bottom of the egg tart cup, ensuring that the egg tart cup can rotate with the rotating ring 412.

[0087] like Figure 2-6 As shown in Figure 9, lifting devices 5 are provided on both sides of the lifting frame 64 and the support frame 21. The lifting device 5 includes a height plate 51, an upper motor screw module 52 set on the top of the height plate 51, and a lower motor screw module 53 set on the bottom of the height plate 51. The bottom of the upper motor screw module 52 is connected to the support frame 21, and the top of the lower motor screw module 53 is connected to the lifting frame 64. In the lifting device 5 of the stamping frame 11 and the lifting frame 12, the bottom of the upper motor screw module 52 is connected to the stamping frame 11, and the top of the lower motor screw module 53 is connected to the lifting frame 12. That is, the same lifting structure is used, which helps to control the vertical height of the pre-stamping device 1, the first feeding device 2, and the double rod feeding device 3 through the control system. Of course, the pre-stamping device 1, the first feeding device 2, and the double rod feeding device 3 can also be provided with separate lifting structures for lifting during operation, while the lifting device 55 is only used to control the overall height.

[0088] like Figure 10-12 The conveying device 4 shown includes two symmetrically arranged chain conveying mechanisms 42. The chain drive mechanism includes a driving sprocket 421 and a driven sprocket 422, and a conveying chain 423 connecting the driving sprocket 421 and the driven sprocket 422. A transmission rod 424 is provided between the two driving sprockets 421 and between the two driven sprockets 422. The driving sprocket 421 is connected to a conveying motor 425. The above structure facilitates the installation of support head 121 and rotating device 6 between the two conveying chains 423.

[0089] Specifically, connecting blocks 43 are symmetrically installed on the two conveyor chains 423. The two ends of the bearing plate 41 are connected to the two conveyor chains 423 through the connecting blocks 43, so that the transmission chain can drive the bearing plate 41 to move.

[0090] like Figure 2 , 11As shown in -12, the connecting block 43 is provided with a limiting block 431, and the bearing plate 41 is provided with limiting holes 413 at both ends. The limiting blocks 431 are inserted into the limiting holes 413 at both ends. The bearing plate 41 can move along the height direction of the limiting block 431, so that the support head 121 and the rotating device 6 can be lifted.

[0091] like Figure 12 As shown, the bottom of the connecting block 43 is provided with two connecting pieces 432, and each connecting piece 432 is provided with two connecting holes 4321. The connecting block 43 is connected to two adjacent pins of the conveyor chain 423 through the two connecting holes 4321, so as to ensure that the connecting block 43 can move with the conveyor chain 423.

[0092] like Figure 10-11 As shown, the conveying device 4 is supported by a frame 44, and the chain conveying mechanisms 42 are all mounted on the frame 44. The frame 44 has baffles fixed at the bottom and sides near the outer sides of the two conveying chains 423. The baffles block the bearing plate 41 at the bottom and sides, preventing the bearing plate 41 from detaching from the limiting block 431. Specifically, the side baffles are arc-shaped baffles 441, and the bottom baffle is a straight baffle 442. The distance between the arc-shaped baffle 441 and the transmission chain is greater than the distance between the straight baffle 442 and the transmission chain, because the bearing plate 41 needs more space to pass through when it moves along the drive sprocket 421 and the driven sprocket 422, so a larger distance needs to be set.

[0093] like Figure 11-12 As shown, a support bar 443 is installed on the top position of the frame 44 near the inner side of the two conveyor chains 423. When the conveyor chain 423 is in the top position, it is in close contact with the support bar 443. Specifically, the top of the support bar 443 is provided with a groove 4431, and the conveyor chain 423 is stuck in the groove 4431 to ensure the stability of the conveying direction of the conveyor chain 423.

[0094] like Figure 13 As shown, the frame 44 is equipped with tensioning mechanisms 45 near the two driven sprockets 422. The specific tensioning mechanism 45 includes a movable frame 451, a screw frame 452, and a screw rod 453. The frame 44 is provided with a slide groove 444. The movable frame 451 is installed on the slide groove 444, the driven sprocket 422 is installed on the movable frame 451, the screw frame 452 is installed on the frame 44, and the screw rod 453 is connected to the driven sprocket 422 by a bearing structure. The screw rod 453 is threadedly connected to the screw frame 452. By simply rotating the screw rod 453, the driven sprocket 422 and the movable frame 451 can be moved along the slide groove 444 to adjust the tension of the transmission chain 423.

[0095] When the aforementioned conveying device 4 is in operation, the bearing plate 41 is used to carry the egg tart cups, the transmission chain is used to drive the bearing plate 41, the support bar 443 is used to support the bearing plate 41, and the limiting hole 413 and the limiting block 431 enable the bearing plate 41 to be lifted by the support head 121 and the rotating device 6, etc. As for the edge, it ensures that the bearing plate 41 will not detach from the limiting block 431 when rotating, i.e. when it is in the side and bottom positions.

[0096] like Figure 14 As shown, the conveying device 4 is connected to a feeding production line at one end near the pre-stamping device 1. The feeding production line includes an egg tart cup storage device 71, a flipping feeding device 72, a conveying device 4, a tower roller cutting device 8, and a height difference conveyor belt 9.

[0097] like Figure 15-16 The egg tart cup feeding device shown includes the egg tart cup storage device 71 mentioned above and a flip-feeding device 72 disposed on the top side of the egg tart cup storage device 71. Specifically, the egg tart cup storage device 71 has rectangular storage positions evenly distributed, and egg tart cups are stacked vertically in each storage position.

[0098] like Figure 15-16 As shown, the egg tart cup storage device 71 is provided with an outer frame 73. There are two egg tart cup storage devices 71. The outer frame 73 can protect the two egg tart cup storage devices 71. A rotating plate 731 is provided under the two egg tart cup storage devices 71. A rotating motor 732 is connected to the center of the rotating plate 731. The rotating plate 731 can be driven to rotate by the rotating motor 732, which will cause the egg tart cup storage devices 71 on it to exchange positions. The egg tart cup storage device 71 near the flipping feeding device 72 is used for feeding, while the other egg tart cup storage device 71 is convenient for manual placement of egg tart cups.

[0099] like Figure 15-17 As shown, the flipping and feeding device 72 includes robotic arm mechanisms 721 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer frame 73 and rectangularly distributed adsorption vacuum heads 723. The top of the two robotic arm mechanisms 721 is provided with gripping plates 722, and the adsorption vacuum heads 723 are all arranged on the gripping plates 722. The adsorption vacuum heads 723 correspond one-to-one with the storage positions.

[0100] A flipping device is fixed on one side of the outer frame 73. The bottom of the two robotic arm mechanisms 721 is connected to the flipping device. The robotic arm mechanism 721 is equipped with a synchronous drive mechanism 725. The synchronous drive mechanism 725 is connected to the flipping device and the gripping plate 722. The flipping device can drive the gripping plate 722 and the robotic arm mechanism 721 to rotate synchronously.

[0101] like Figure 17As shown, the flipping device includes a flipping motor 724 and a transmission rod 424 connected to the flipping motor 724. The transmission rod 424 is connected to the bottom of two robotic arm mechanisms 721, so that the two robotic arm mechanisms 721 can rotate synchronously.

[0102] like Figure 17 As shown, the synchronous drive mechanism 725 includes an active pulley 7251, a passive pulley 7252, and a synchronous belt 7253 connecting the active pulley 7251 and the passive pulley 7252. The active pulley 7251 is mounted on the transmission rod 424, and the passive pulley 7252 is mounted on the top of the robotic arm mechanism 721. The passive pulley 7252 is connected to a synchronous rod 7254. The synchronous rod 7254 is connected to the top of the two robotic arm mechanisms 721 by bearings. The synchronous rod 7254 is connected to the gripping plate 722, so that the synchronous rod 7254 will drive the gripping plate 722 to rotate synchronously with the transmission rod 424, so that no matter what the rotation angle of the robotic arm mechanism 721 is, the gripping plate 722 always faces the bottom, that is, parallel to the egg tart cup storage device 71.

[0103] Specifically, a tensioning pulley 7255 is provided between the active pulley 7251 and the passive pulley 7252. The tensioning pulley 7255 is in close contact with the outer surface of the synchronous belt 7253. The tensioning pulley 7255 is installed on the robotic arm mechanism 721 and is used to tension the synchronous belt 7253.

[0104] like Figure 18 As shown, the middle part of the synchronization rod 7254 is hollow, and an adsorption vacuum tube 7231 is provided in the synchronization rod 7254. The adsorption vacuum tube 7231 is connected to all the adsorption vacuum heads 723. The adsorption vacuum tube 7231 extends out from one end of the synchronization rod 7254 and is connected to a vacuum adsorption machine. Of course, the hollow structure of the synchronization rod 7254 can also be used to replace part of the adsorption vacuum tube 7231. The vacuum adsorption machine provides adsorption force to the adsorption vacuum heads 723, which can hold the egg tart cup.

[0105] like Figure 16 As shown, the egg tart cup storage device 71 includes a base plate 711 and several sets of egg tart cup fixing rods 712 evenly distributed on the base plate 711. Each set of egg tart cup fixing rods 712 corresponds to a storage position. The base plate 711 is provided with a feeding plate 713, and the feeding plate 713 is provided with a passage opening 7131. The egg tart cup fixing rods 712 pass through the passage opening 7131. Specifically, the feeding plate 713 is provided with a pushing mechanism 714 on both sides of its bottom. When an egg tart cup is taken away, the feeding plate 713 will be pushed upward by the pushing mechanism 714 by the distance of one egg tart cup.

[0106] like Figure 16As shown, each set of egg tart cup fixing rods 712 has four rods in total, which can ensure that the egg tart cups are restricted between the egg tart cup fixing rods 712. The top of the egg tart fixing rod is provided with a discharge baffle 715. The discharge baffle 715 is provided with a discharge port 716 at the storage position. Specifically, one end of the discharge port 716 extends to the edge of the discharge baffle 715, so that the suction vacuum head 723 can pull the egg tart cup out from the discharge port 716.

[0107] like Figure 14-15 As shown, the outer frame 73 is connected to a conveying device 4 near the end of the robotic arm mechanism 721. The conveying device 4 here is connected to the conveying device 4 of the tower skin production line, and the two have the same structure.

[0108] like Figure 19 As shown, the tower roll cutting device 8 includes a tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81 and an ultrasonic cutter device 82 disposed on the tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81. The tower roll conveyor belt mechanism 81 is provided with tower roll storage positions 811 on one side of the ultrasonic cutter device 82. The number of tower roll storage positions 811 corresponds to the number of storage positions in a row, so that a row of tower rolls can be simultaneously cut into dough by the ultrasonic cutter device 82.

[0109] like Figures 19-20 As shown, the height difference conveyor belt 9 is located at one end of the tower roller conveyor belt mechanism 81 near the ultrasonic cutter device 82, and the upper surface of the height difference conveyor belt 9 at the end near the tower roller conveyor belt mechanism 81 is lower than the upper surface of the tower roller conveyor belt mechanism 81. A gripping device 91 is provided at the other end of the height difference conveyor belt 9. The gripping device 91 has gripping heads 913 evenly distributed in a rectangle. The gripping heads 913 can adopt a suction cup structure. The number of gripping heads 913 in one row corresponds to the number of storage positions in one row.

[0110] like Figure 14 As shown, the height difference conveyor belt 9 and the tower roller cutting device 8 are installed on the conveying device 4 and are located between the flipping feeding device 72 and the conveying device 4 of the tower skin production line. In this embodiment, two sets are installed.

[0111] like Figure 14 , 20 As shown, the gripping device 91 includes an X-axis transmission mechanism 911, a Z-axis transmission mechanism 912, and a plate for fixing the gripping head 913. The plate for fixing the gripping head 913 is mounted on the Z-axis transmission mechanism 912, and the Z-axis transmission mechanism 912 is mounted on the X-axis transmission mechanism 911. This enables the gripping of the dough, lifting it up, moving it, and finally lowering it onto the conveyor device 4 to place the dough into an empty tart cup.

[0112] like Figure 14 As shown, the conveying device 4 is equipped with one or more sets of height difference conveyor belts 9 and tower roller cutting devices 8 to improve the efficiency of feeding.

[0113] In this embodiment, both material feeding steps S3 of the tower skin production method are completed by the same double-rod feeding device 3.

[0114] Example 2

[0115] like Figure 21 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that three double-rod feeding devices 3 are provided. The two feeding steps of S3 are completed by the three double-rod feeding devices 3. Compared with embodiment 1, its production efficiency is improved, but its production line cost will increase.

[0116] Example 3

[0117] like Figure 22-25 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiments 1-2 is that a moving device 46 is provided between the conveying device 4 of the feeding production line and the conveying device 4 of the tower skin production line.

[0118] The specific moving device 46 includes two ejection mechanisms 461 and a gripping moving structure 462. The two ejection mechanisms 461 are respectively located on the underside of the support plates 41 of the two conveying devices 4. Half of the moving device 46 is located on the upper side of the conveying device 4 in the feeding production line, and the other half is located on the upper side of the conveying device 4 in the tower skin production line. The ejection mechanisms 461 have rectangularly evenly distributed ejection heads 4613. The gripping moving structure 462 has several moving positions, and each moving position corresponds to one ejection head 4613. The number of processing positions 401 in a row is the same as the number of moving positions in a row.

[0119] The conveyor device 4 of the tart crust production line is equipped with a moving device 46 near the double-bar feeding device 3. The structural components of the moving device 46 are the same as those of the moving device 46 mentioned above. Subsequent moving equipment can use a conventional conveyor belt to directly transport the tart crusts without the need for an ejector mechanism 461.

[0120] like Figure 25 As shown, the ejection mechanism 461 includes a base 4611 and a lifting mechanism 4612 that pushes the base 4611 up. The ejection heads 4613 are evenly distributed on the base 4611. A suction cup is provided in the center of the ejection head 4613. The suction cup is connected to a negative pressure suction machine to ensure that the suction cup can adhere to the egg tart cup.

[0121] like Figure 24As shown, the grasping and moving structure 462 includes two drive belt mechanisms 4621 and a mounting plate 4622 between the two drive belt mechanisms 4621. The mounting plate 4622 has a protrusion in the middle that is fixed to the drive belt of the drive belt mechanism 4621. Rods 4623 are evenly distributed under the mounting plate 4622. Plates 4624 are fixed under the rods 4623. There is a gap between two adjacent plates 4624 for placing egg tart cups. The length direction of the plates 4624 is parallel to the moving direction of the drive belt mechanism 4621. The gap between the two plates 4624 forms a row of moving positions.

[0122] In use, the lifting mechanism 4612 drives the ejector head 4613 to lift the egg tart cups, and then the drive belt mechanism 4621 drives the plate 4624 to move to one side of the egg tart cups, just enough to catch all the egg tart cups. Then the lifting mechanism 4612 drives the ejector head 4613 to descend, and then the drive belt mechanism 4621 drives the plate 4624 and the egg tart cups on it to move to the other side. After the movement is completed, the lifting mechanism 4612 of another ejector mechanism 461 drives the ejector head 4613 to move upward, so that the suction cups adhere to the egg tart cups. Then the drive belt mechanism 4621 drives the plate 4624 to move to the other side again, so that the egg tart cups are detached from the plate 4624. Finally, the lifting mechanism 4612 drives the ejector head 4613 to move downward, so that the egg tart cups are moved to the subsequent mobile equipment or the conveyor device 4 of the tart production line.

[0123] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
