Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food conveying technology, and more specifically, to a diversion conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In the food production industry, efficient and precise conveying processes play a crucial role in ensuring production efficiency and product quality. As a key component of the food production line, the performance of food diversion and conveying devices directly impacts the smoothness and stability of the entire production system.
[0003] Currently, existing food diversion and conveying devices on the market have revealed many problems in practical applications. First, some devices rely on operators to manually sort food onto conveyor belts with different flow directions, which is inefficient and difficult to match the high-speed food production at the front end. This leads to food accumulation during the conveying process, which not only reduces production efficiency but may also affect product quality and increase the defect rate due to prolonged food accumulation. In addition, some devices use cylinders to drive baffles to change the direction of food flow, but this has obvious limitations. Frequent operation of the baffle mechanism leads to mechanical wear, requiring frequent replacement of guide components and resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, in order to solve the problems of low efficiency of manual sorting or high maintenance cost of baffle diversion in existing diversion conveying devices, this utility model provides a diversion conveying device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:
[0005] A diversion conveying device includes a diversion conveyor belt, a first diversion mechanism, and a second diversion mechanism. A feed inlet is provided on one side wall of the diversion conveyor belt, and a diversion motor for controlling the conveying direction of the diversion conveyor belt is installed on the other side wall. The first diversion mechanism includes a first lifting belt and a small material discharge belt. The first lifting belt is disposed between one end of the diversion conveyor belt and the small material discharge belt, and the small material discharge belt has multiple discharge channels formed by partitions. The second diversion mechanism includes a second lifting belt, a screening component, and a large material discharge belt connected in sequence. The second lifting belt is disposed at the other end of the diversion conveyor belt, and a baffle is mounted on the screening component, with two screening channels formed on both sides of the baffle.
[0006] The aforementioned diversion conveyor directly controls the diversion direction with a diversion motor, reducing mechanical transmission components and lowering the failure rate. Furthermore, by setting up a first and second diversion mechanism, it can simultaneously process food items of different sizes and weights, meeting the sorting needs of products with multiple specifications. The small-item discharge belt has multiple discharge channels, enabling precise diversion of small-sized foods (such as candy and nuts) and improving sorting efficiency. The baffles on both sides of the screening component form two screening channels, making the diversion process of large items (such as packaged foods and boxed products) smoother and reducing impact. Compared with traditional baffle-type diversion, the product breakage rate is significantly reduced. The use of lifting belt transition conveyors (first and second lifting belts) prevents food from directly colliding with the hard baffles, reducing surface scratches and damage.
[0007] Furthermore, the diversion conveying device also includes a feeding conveyor belt, the discharge end of which is connected to the feed inlet, and adjusting baffles are slidably provided on both the feeding conveyor belt and the diversion conveyor belt.
[0008] Furthermore, each end of the diversion conveyor belt is connected to a diversion plate that is inclined, with one diversion plate located above the first lifting belt and the other diversion plate located above the second lifting belt.
[0009] Furthermore, both the first lifting belt and the second lifting belt are inclined and have the same structure. The bottom of the first lifting belt has a connection port located below the diverter plate. Multiple first anti-slip grids are spaced apart on the surface of the first lifting belt. Limiting baffles are slidably arranged on both sides of the first lifting belt, and a lifting space is formed between the limiting baffles on both sides.
[0010] Furthermore, a front support is mounted on one end of the small material discharge belt. The front support is positioned between the top of the first lifting belt and the feed end of the small material discharge belt. A small chute is installed obliquely on the front support. Diverting rods and diverting baffles are fixed at intervals on the small chute. Both the diverting rods and the diverting baffles extend above the surface of the small material discharge belt.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the small material discharge belt is provided with multiple mounting grooves spaced apart, and a rear support is mounted on the other end of the small material discharge belt. Multiple soft leather pressure plates are detachably mounted on the rear support. One end of the soft leather pressure plate is embedded in the mounting groove, and the other end of the soft leather pressure plate is provided with a first discharge guide plate extending to the outside of the small material discharge belt.
[0012] Furthermore, the screening assembly includes a first screening belt and a second screening belt arranged in sequence. A large chute is inclinedly mounted on one end of the first screening belt. The large chute is located below the top of the second lifting belt. A screening roller is rotatably mounted on the top of the baffle. The height of the screening roller is flush with the discharge height at the bottom of the large chute.
[0013] Furthermore, a material handling cover is installed on one end of the second screening belt. The material handling cover is located between the discharge end of the first screening belt and the feed end of the second screening belt. The baffle extends into the inside of the material handling cover and has a protruding material handling plate. The material handling plate can be raised and lowered relative to the second screening belt and is used to divide the material handling cover into two material handling spaces. The material handling spaces on both sides are respectively connected to the screening channels on both sides.
[0014] Furthermore, a second discharge guide plate is detachably installed on the other end of the second screening belt, and an arc-shaped plate is protruding on one end of the second discharge guide plate, the arc-shaped plate being located above the feed end of the large material discharge belt.
[0015] Furthermore, the large material discharge belt is inclined, the second screening belt is connected to the feed end at the bottom of the large material discharge belt, and multiple second anti-slip grids are spaced apart on the surface of the large material discharge belt.

[0025] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.
[0026] like Figures 1-4As shown, a diversion conveying device in one embodiment of the present invention includes a diversion conveyor belt 1, a first diversion mechanism, and a second diversion mechanism. A feed inlet is provided on one side wall of the diversion conveyor belt 1, and a diversion motor 11 for controlling the conveying direction of the diversion conveyor belt 1 is installed on the other side wall of the diversion conveyor belt 1. The first diversion mechanism includes a first lifting belt 2 and a small material discharge belt 3. The first lifting belt 2 is disposed between one end of the diversion conveyor belt 1 and the small material discharge belt 3, and multiple discharge channels are formed on the small material discharge belt 3. The second diversion mechanism includes a second lifting belt 4, a screening component, and a large material discharge belt 7 connected in sequence. The second lifting belt 4 is disposed at the other end of the diversion conveyor belt 1, and a baffle is mounted on the screening component, with two screening channels formed on both sides of the baffle.
[0027] The aforementioned diversion conveyor device uses a diversion motor 11 to directly control the diversion direction, reducing mechanical transmission components and lowering the failure rate. Furthermore, by setting up a first diversion mechanism and a second diversion mechanism, it can simultaneously process food items of different sizes and weights, meeting the sorting needs of products with multiple specifications. The small material discharge belt 3 is equipped with multiple discharge channels, enabling precise diversion of small-sized foods (such as candy and nuts) and improving sorting efficiency. The baffles on both sides of the screening component form two screening channels, making the diversion process of large materials (such as packaged foods and boxed products) smoother and reducing impact. Compared with traditional baffle-type diversion, the product breakage rate is significantly reduced. The use of lifting belt transition conveyors (first lifting belt 2 and second lifting belt 4) prevents food from directly colliding with the hard baffles, reducing surface scratches and damage.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the diversion conveying device further includes a feeding conveyor belt 8, the discharge end of which is connected to the inlet. Adjustable baffles 81 are slidably installed on both the feeding conveyor belt 8 and the diversion conveyor belt 1. The feeding conveyor belt 8 and the diversion conveyor belt 1 are seamlessly connected, ensuring a smooth transition of food and avoiding accumulation or jamming problems caused by drop differences, making it particularly suitable for foods with poor flowability. Furthermore, the sliding arrangement of the adjustable baffles 81 allows for dynamic adjustment of the feeding width according to the food size or flow rate, preventing material blockage.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, inclined diversion plates 12 are connected to both ends of the diversion conveyor belt 1. One diversion plate 12 is located above the first lifting belt 2, and the other diversion plate 12 is located above the second lifting belt 4. The special angle design of the inclined diversion plates 12 allows food to slide naturally from the diversion conveyor belt 1 to the lifting belt, avoiding the impact caused by traditional vertical falling, which is especially beneficial for reducing the breakage rate of brittle foods (such as potato chips and egg rolls) during transportation.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, both the first lifting belt 2 and the second lifting belt 4 are inclined and have the same structure. The bottom of the first lifting belt 2 has a connection port located below the diverter plate 12. Multiple first anti-slip grids 21 are spaced apart on the surface of the first lifting belt 2. Limiting baffles 22 are slidably installed on both sides of the first lifting belt 2, forming a lifting space between the limiting baffles 22 on both sides. Thus, by providing the first anti-slip grids 21, the conveying stability of food (especially smooth surfaces or small-sized products) is significantly enhanced, preventing slippage or accumulation. By providing the lifting space, the position of the food can be precisely constrained, avoiding displacement or falling, which is particularly suitable for the efficient conveying of easily rolling products (such as spherical candies and nuts).
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a front support is mounted on one end of the small material discharge belt 3. The front support is positioned between the top of the first lifting belt 2 and the inlet end of the small material discharge belt 3. A small chute 31 is obliquely mounted on the front support. Diverting rods 32 and diverting baffles 33 are fixed at intervals on the small chute 31. Both the diverting rods 32 and the diverting baffles extend above the surface of the small material discharge belt 3. The synergistic effect of the diverting rods 32 and the diverting baffles 33 can precisely guide small-sized food items (such as candy and nuts). The oblique small chute 31 design allows the food to slide down naturally by gravity, avoiding product damage caused by mechanical pushing, which is especially suitable for fragile foods.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the surface of the small material discharge belt 3 is provided with multiple mounting grooves spaced apart. A rear support is mounted on the other end of the small material discharge belt 3, and multiple soft leather pressure plates 34 are detachably mounted on the rear support. One end of the soft leather pressure plate 34 is fitted into the mounting groove, and the other end of the soft leather pressure plate 34 is provided with a first discharge guide plate 35 extending to the outside of the small material discharge belt 3. The extended design of the first discharge guide plate 35 ensures that the food accurately falls into the designated container.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the screening assembly includes a first screening belt 5 and a second screening belt 6 arranged sequentially. A large chute 51 is inclinedly mounted on one end of the first screening belt 5. The large chute 51 is located below the top of the second lifting belt 4. A screening roller 52 is rotatably mounted on the top of the baffle. The height of the screening roller 52 is flush with the bottom discharge height of the large chute 51. The precise matching of the heights of the screening roller 52 and the large chute 51 ensures a smooth transition of food and facilitates the diversion of food to the screening channels on both sides as needed.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, a sorting cover 61 is installed on one end of the second screening belt 6. The sorting cover 61 is located between the discharge end of the first screening belt 5 and the feed end of the second screening belt 6. A baffle extends into the interior of the sorting cover 61 and a sorting plate 62 protrudes from it. The sorting plate 62 can be raised and lowered relative to the second screening belt 6 and is used to divide the sorting cover 61 into two sorting spaces. The sorting spaces on both sides are respectively connected to the screening channels on both sides. The reciprocating raising and lowering of the sorting plate 62 can make the food in one sorting space be sorted and fixed in the sorting cover 61, which is convenient for subsequent recycling or direct discharge, while the food in the other sorting space is normally transported to the second screening belt 6 for further diversion.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a second discharge guide plate 63 is detachably installed on the other end of the second screening belt 6. An arc-shaped plate protrudes from one end of the second discharge guide plate 63, and the arc-shaped plate is located above the feed end of the large-material discharge belt 7. The arc-shaped plate enables the transfer of food between the second screening belt 6 and the large-material discharge belt 7 to achieve a shock-free transition, which is more conducive to reducing product breakage rate than the traditional right-angle transition method.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the large material discharge belt 7 is inclined, and the second screening belt 6 is connected to the feed end at the bottom of the large material discharge belt 7. Multiple second anti-slip grids 71 are spaced apart on the surface of the large material discharge belt 7. The inclined angle design, combined with the second anti-slip grids 71, improves the conveying stability of large packaged foods (such as boxed or bagged foods), and the spaced arrangement of the second anti-slip grids 71 effectively prevents product slippage.
[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
