[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] See Figures 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a dough proofing and feeding device. The feeding machine 4 drives the feeding bowl 405 to move cyclically through the first chain drive mechanism. The feeding bowl 405 is flipped and unloaded at a specific position by the material drop support structure. Then, the material is guided to the subsequent processing flow by the guide trough 406, realizing the efficient material conveying and feeding function. The feeding machine 4 includes a feeding frame 401. Two parallel first chain drive mechanisms are set in the feeding frame 401. Several groups of feeding bowls 405 are evenly distributed between the two first chain drive mechanisms along their transmission direction. Each group includes several feeding bowls 405. Each feeding bowl 405 has a bowl fixing plate 410 fixed between the two first chain drive mechanisms on one side. Each feeding bowl 405 is rotatably mounted on the corresponding bowl fixing plate 410 through the bowl rotation shaft 416, providing installation and support for the feeding bowl 405 and ensuring the stability of the feeding bowl 405 during the chain 404 transmission process. A locking structure is provided between adjacent feeding bowls 405. On the straight section of the chain 404 of the first chain drive mechanism, the feeding bowls 405 can be rotated downwards by 90 degrees via the bowl rotation shaft 416. On the lower straight section of the chain 404, the feeding bowls 405 can maintain their position relative to each other without rotation through the locking structure. On the lower straight section of the chain 404, the locking structure can restrict the rotation of the feeding bowls 405, so that the feeding bowls 405 maintain their position relative to each other without rotation, ensuring that the material will not spill during the conveying process. The feeding frame 401 is provided with a material dropping support structure that enables the partial feeding bowls 405 that move on the upper straight section of the chain 404 to be flipped.

[0030] The first chain drive mechanism includes two first sprockets 403, which are connected by a first chain 404. The first sprockets 403 at the same end of the two first chain drive mechanisms are connected by a connecting shaft. A guide wheel 412 is provided between the first sprockets 403 at the same end, capable of actuating and resetting the feeding bowl 405. Its function is to actuate and reset the feeding bowl 405 during chain 404 transmission, ensuring the accurate position of the feeding bowl 405 during transmission and maintaining normal working condition. A second motor 402 is provided at the end of one of the connecting shafts to drive its rotation.

[0031] The material discharge support structure includes several material discharge support guide rails 408 that are arranged in a crisscrossing manner. A material discharge notch 409 is formed between two adjacent material discharge support guide rails 408. Rollers 411 are rotatably mounted on the feeding bowls 405 via a wheel shaft 417. The rollers 411 on two adjacent feeding bowls 405 are distributed on opposite sides. The number of feeding bowls 405 in each group is consistent with the number of material discharge notches 409, and the rollers 411 on each group of feeding bowls 405 correspond one-to-one with the material discharge notches 409. Through the above specific structural design, when the feeding bowl 405 on the straight section of the chain 404 moves to the position of the material discharge support guide rail 408, the rollers 411 enter the material discharge notch 409. Due to the loss of support, the feeding bowl 405 will rotate downwards by ninety degrees via the bowl shaft 416 to achieve material unloading.

[0032] Below each material dropping notch 409, there is a corresponding material guide trough 406. The material guide troughs 406 are fixedly connected to each other by a fixing rod 407, and the fixing rod 407 is fixedly mounted on the feeding frame 401.

[0033] The feeding bowl 405 has an opening on one side near the roller 411, and there are locking protrusions 414 on both sides of the opening of the feeding bowl 405. The bowl fixing plate 410 is fixedly provided with a locking rod 413 that cooperates with the locking protrusions 414 for locking. The feeding bowl 405 is provided with an angle support block 415 on the side near the wheel shaft 417 that can be limited and connected with the bowl fixing plate 410.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Power transmission and chain drive: The second motor 402 drives the connecting shaft to rotate, which drives the first sprocket 403 at the same end, and realizes synchronous transmission of the two first chain drive mechanisms through the first chain 404.

[0036] Feeding bowl conveyor: The feeding bowl 405 is mounted on the bowl fixing plate 410 via the bowl rotating shaft 416, located between the two first chain drive mechanisms, and moves cyclically with the chain 404. In the straight section below the chain, the locking structure locking rod 413 and the locking protrusion 414 cooperate to restrict the rotation of the feeding bowl and prevent material from spilling.

[0037] Feeding bowl flipping unloading: When a set of feeding bowls 405 on the straight section of the chain moves to the unloading support rail 408, the roller 411 enters the corresponding unloading notch 409, the feeding bowl 405 loses support, and flips down ninety degrees through the bowl rotation shaft 416 to achieve unloading.

[0038] Material guidance: The guide chute 406 below the material discharge notch 409 guides the unloaded material to the subsequent processing flow.

[0039] Feed bowl reset: During chain drive, guide wheel 412 moves the feed bowl to reset, ensuring its accurate position and maintaining normal working condition.

[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
