[0008] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the tensioning elastic element of the instant noodle block toggle lever assembly with automatic tensioning function is a tension spring.
[0009] As a further optimization of this technical solution, the upper edge of the first guide sprocket of the instant noodle block actuating rod component with automatic tensioning function is tangent to the inner wall of the conveying track.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a specific technical implementation scheme for a component of a noodle block toggle lever with an automatic tensioning function:
[0022] An assembly of a noodle block actuating lever with automatic tensioning function includes: a conveying track 1, a chain 2, an actuating lever 3, a first guide sprocket 4, a drive sprocket 5, a transition sprocket 6, a tensioning sprocket 7, a swing arm 8, a spring hanger 9, a tensioning elastic element 10, a support plate 11, an adjusting screw 12, a second guide sprocket 13, and a support guide rod 14; the chain 2 is slidably disposed within the conveying track 1; multiple actuating levers 3 are equidistantly disposed on one side of the chain 2; the first guide sprocket 4 is rotatably disposed at the discharge end of the conveying track 1; the upper edge of the first guide sprocket 4 is tangent to the inner wall of the conveying track 1, reducing wear of the chain 2 on the conveying track 1; the drive sprocket 5 is disposed within... The first guide sprocket 4 is located on the side away from the conveying track 1; the transition sprocket 6 is rotatably positioned below the first guide sprocket 4; one end of the swing arm 8 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the tension sprocket 7 is rotatably positioned at the other end of the swing arm 8, and the tension sprocket 7 is located below the transition sprocket 6 on the side away from the drive sprocket 5; spring lugs 9 are respectively fixed to the end of the swing arm 8 near the tension sprocket 7 and on the frame, and both ends of the tension elastic element 10 are respectively connected to the two spring lugs 9; the tension elastic element 10 is a tension spring; the tension of the tension elastic element 10 pulls the swing arm 8 to rotate around one end, so that the tension sprocket 7 applies a preload to the chain 2, so that the chain 2 is always kept taut.
[0023] The support plate 11 is fixed to one side above the swing arm 8, and an adjusting screw 12 is screwed onto the support plate 11. One end of the adjusting screw 12 abuts against the side of the swing arm 8 away from the tensioning elastic element 10. The adjusting screw 12 limits the swing of the swing arm 8, preventing the tensioning elastic element 10 from being overstretched when the swing arm 8 swings. The second guide sprocket 13 is rotatably disposed below the conveying track 1. The support guide rod 14 is disposed parallel to the bottom of the conveying track 1. The upper edge of the second guide sprocket 13 is tangent to the inner wall of the support guide rod 14, reducing the wear of the chain 2 on the support guide rod 14. The chain 2 sequentially surrounds and meshes with the first guide sprocket 4, the drive sprocket 5, the transition sprocket 6, the tension sprocket 7, and the second guide sprocket 13, and the chain 2 is slidably disposed within the support guide rod 14.
[0024] Specific implementation steps:
[0025] In use, the drive sprocket 5 rotates, causing the chain 2 to move. The lever 3 moves with the chain 2. The instant noodles move above the conveying track 1 with the lever 3. The chain 2 passes through each sprocket and enters the support guide rod 14, and then returns from the conveying track 1. The tension of the tensioning elastic element 10 pulls the swing arm 8 to rotate around one end, so that the tensioning sprocket 7 applies a preload to the chain 2 to prevent the chain from being too loose. The end of the adjusting screw 12 limits the swing arm 8 to prevent excessive stretching of the tensioning elastic element 10 when the swing arm 8 swings.
[0026] In summary, this instant noodle block actuating lever assembly with automatic tensioning function is configured such that one end of the swing arm is rotatably connected to the frame, and the tensioning sprocket is rotatably mounted at the other end of the swing arm. Spring lugs are fixed to the end of the swing arm near the tensioning sprocket and the frame, respectively, and both ends of the tensioning elastic element are connected to two spring lugs. The tensioning elastic element pulls the swing arm to rotate around one end, causing the tensioning sprocket to apply pre-tension to the chain, preventing the chain from becoming too loose. An adjusting screw is screwed onto the support plate, with one end of the adjusting screw abutting against the side of the swing arm away from the tensioning elastic element. The adjusting screw limits the swing arm's movement, preventing excessive stretching of the tensioning elastic element during swing. This invention, through improvements to the instant noodle block actuating lever assembly with automatic tensioning function, has the advantages of automatically compensating for chain elongation or slack during operation and maintaining constant chain working tension, thus effectively solving the problems and shortcomings of existing technologies and equipment.
