Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, specifically a conveyor belt for a continuous dishwasher that can automatically eject tableware. Background Technology
[0002] Fully automatic continuous dishwashers use conveyor belts to transport tableware; during operation, tableware is simply placed on the conveyor belt. However, existing continuous dishwashing equipment has the following technical problems with its conveyor belts:
[0003] Traditional conveyor belts have surface characteristics or structural design deficiencies that prevent washed tableware from sliding smoothly and automatically off the outlet. Instead, tableware often piles up, gets squeezed, or even jams at the outlet, easily causing blockages.
[0004] This problem forces the production line to have an operator at each end of the equipment inlet and outlet for manual intervention: the inlet is responsible for feeding materials, while the outlet requires frequent manual clearing and pushing of tableware to prevent blockages, which greatly increases the manpower input and operating costs in the production process.
[0005] Furthermore, outlet blockages and random jamming of tableware during transport not only reduce the reliability of the process but also significantly increase the frequency of forced equipment shutdowns. Frequent downtime for maintenance and troubleshooting leads to low overall efficiency of the washing line. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a conveyor belt for a continuous dishwasher that can automatically eject tableware, so that the tableware can automatically slide down to the collection table for unified collection.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A conveyor belt for a continuous dishwasher that can automatically eject tableware includes several rows of teeth, each row of teeth including several teeth arranged in parallel, the teeth being connected end to end and rotatably connected to the adjacent row of teeth, so that the several rows of teeth form a ring-shaped conveyor belt.
[0009] The toothed part includes a main body, one end of which is provided with an extension. The extension helps to push the tableware out at the output end. The main body is also connected to a first branch and a second branch. The first branch, the main body, and the second branch form a groove structure. The groove structure is used to support the tableware, so that the tableware can be placed vertically for easy cleaning.
[0010] Specifically, the first branch of one column of teeth and the second branch of an adjacent column of teeth are rotatably connected by a transmission shaft, and the two columns of teeth are staggered on the transmission shaft.
[0011] The first branch and the second branch are respectively provided with connecting holes at the ends away from the main body, and the two connecting holes are used to rotatably connect with the transmission shaft.
[0012] The first branch and the second branch are provided with a shuttle-shaped support block at the end away from the main body. The shape of the support block facilitates the support of the tableware during horizontal conveying, and the tip of the top of the support block further helps to push the tableware out when it is close to the output end.
[0013] The automatic tableware ejection continuous dishwasher conveyor belt also includes an inclined slide plate, which is located at the output end of the conveyor belt. The inclined slide plate ensures that after the tableware is ejected from the conveyor belt by the teeth, it falls onto the sliding plate, where gravity guides the tableware smoothly to the tableware collection station.
[0014] The conveyor belt of the automatic tableware ejection continuous dishwasher also includes a drive wheel. The outer edge of the drive wheel is provided with several actuating grooves. The end of the conveyor shaft is rotatably connected to a roller. The actuating grooves are used to actuate the roller, thereby actuating the drive wheel to continuously convey the tableware forward.
[0015] Two adjacent transmission shafts are rotatably mounted on the same support plate.
[0016] A top claw is fixedly connected to the upper part of the second branch of the prying tooth.
[0017] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0018] This invention can automatically eject tableware, solving the problems of tableware conveying and collection in existing tableware washing equipment. It enables tableware to automatically slide down to the collection workbench after washing, optimizing the tableware washing process and saving labor costs.
[0019] This utility model is mainly for the washing and conveying of tableware such as bowls and plates. It realizes that the tableware automatically slides down to the collection platform for unified collection. When this utility model is running, only one person needs to be arranged at the inlet of the equipment to place the tableware. No manual intervention is required at the outlet. The tableware is automatically pushed out and slides down to the collection platform. After a certain number are accumulated, they are taken away in a unified manner, thus saving manpower.
[0020] This invention features a high degree of automation. Its ingenious mechanical structure enables automated ejection and collection of tableware at the outlet, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level and efficiency of the tableware washing process.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a conveyor belt for an automatic tableware ejection continuous dishwasher includes several rows of teeth 1. Each row of teeth 1 includes several teeth arranged in parallel. One row of teeth 1 is connected end to end with the adjacent row of teeth 1 and rotates to form a ring-shaped conveyor belt (only part of the ring-shaped conveyor belt is shown in the attached figure) to transport tableware 7 through the continuous dishwasher.
[0034] The toothed part 1 includes a main body 11, on which a first branch 13 and a second branch 14 are respectively connected. The first branch 13, the main body 11 and the second branch 14 form a U-shaped groove structure. The groove structure is used to support the tableware 7, so that the tableware 7 is placed vertically for easy cleaning.
[0035] An extension portion 12 is provided at one end of the main body 11, such as Figure 4 As shown, the extension 12 helps to push the cutlery 7 out at the output end. Specifically, when the cutlery 7 located in the groove structure of the tooth 1 reaches the output end of the conveyor belt, the direction of the tooth 1 in that row gradually changes from horizontal to inclined downward. At the same time, the extension 12 of the next row of tooth 1 extends horizontally, which pushes the bottom of the cutlery 7 horizontally outward, thereby pushing the cutlery 7 out of the groove structure and onto the slide plate 6.
[0036] Specifically, the first branch 13 of one row of teeth 1 and the second branch 14 of an adjacent row of teeth 1 are rotatably connected by a transmission shaft 4, and the two rows of teeth 1 are staggered on the transmission shaft 4. To achieve this staggered structural layout, as... Figure 5 As shown, the main body 11 has a bending structure in the middle so that the first branch 13 and the second branch 14 are misaligned and not on the same cross section, thus facilitating installation on the transmission shaft 4.
[0037] The first branch 13 and the second branch 14 are respectively provided with connecting holes 16 at the ends away from the main body 11. The two connecting holes 16 are used to rotatably connect with the transmission shaft 4.
[0038] The first branch 13 and the second branch 14 are provided with a spindle-shaped support block 15 at the end away from the main body 11, such as Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the support block 15 facilitates support for the cutlery 7 during horizontal transport, and the pointed tip of the support block 15 further helps to push the cutlery 7 out when near the output end.
[0039] The automatic tableware ejection continuous dishwasher conveyor belt also includes an inclined slide plate 6, which is located at the output end of the conveyor belt. The slide plate 6 is inclined so that when the tableware 7 is ejected from the conveyor belt by the teeth 1, it will fall onto the slide plate 6. The slide plate 6 uses the principle of gravity to guide the tableware 7 to slide smoothly onto the tableware collection table.
[0040] The conveyor belt of the automatic tableware ejection continuous dishwasher also includes a drive wheel 2. Several actuating grooves 3 are provided along the outer edge of the drive wheel 2. A roller 41 is rotatably connected to the end of the conveyor shaft 4. The actuating grooves 3 are used to actuate the roller 41, thereby propelling the conveyor shaft 4 to continuously transport the tableware forward. The central shaft of the drive wheel 2 can be connected to a power source such as a motor.
[0041] Two adjacent transmission shafts 4 are rotatably mounted on the same support plate 5, which is respectively located at both ends of the transmission shaft 4.
[0042] Example 2:
[0043] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that a top claw 17 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the second branch 14 of the tooth 1. The top claw 17 is used to hold the large tableware 7, so that the large tableware 7 can follow the conveyor belt forward. Specifically, the top claw 17 is fixedly mounted on the support block 15 of the second branch 14.
