[0016] To facilitate a clearer understanding of this technical solution for those skilled in the art, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 -3. A detailed description of the technical solution of this utility model:
[0017] A turning device for food drying and sterilization includes a mounting frame 1, a height adjustment mechanism 2 mounted on the mounting frame 1, a turning mechanism 3 mounted on the height adjustment mechanism 2, a width adjustment mechanism 4 mounted on the turning mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 5 connected to the width adjustment mechanism 4. The height adjustment mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, the turning mechanism 3 is connected to the height adjustment mechanism 2, and the width adjustment mechanism is connected to the turning mechanism 3. During operation, this device is positioned on one side of the conveyor line, facilitating the turning of the entire batch of materials on the conveyor line without requiring direct manual contact with the product. It features a high degree of automation and convenient drying and sterilization. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 5 clamps the product, and the width adjustment mechanism 4 and the height adjustment mechanism 2 adjust according to the overall height and width of the product, offering greater adaptability and ease of operation.
[0018] The structure of the height adjustment mechanism 2 will be described in detail below. The height adjustment mechanism 2 includes a fixed frame 21 mounted on the mounting frame 1, a height control motor 22 mounted on the fixed frame 21, a gear shaft 23 connected to the height control motor 22, and a driven shaft 24 mounted on the fixed frame 21. The fixed frame 21 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 1, the height control motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 21, and the gear shaft 23 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 21. The gear shaft 23 and the driven shaft 24 are connected by a chain 25. One end of the chain 25 is connected to the load-bearing block 26, and the other end of the chain 25 is connected to the material turning mechanism 3. The height control motor 22 can control the gear shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain 25 to rotate, thereby driving the load-bearing block 26 and the material turning mechanism 3 to move up and down to complete the height adjustment.
[0019] To make the up-and-down movement of the material turning mechanism 3 more stable, longitudinal slide rails 27 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 21. The material turning mechanism 3 is slidably installed on the longitudinal slide rails 27 and the chain 25 is set between the longitudinal slide rails 27 on both sides.
[0020] The structure of the material turning mechanism 3 will be described in detail below. The material turning mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 31, a material turning motor 32 disposed on one side of the mounting plate 31, a drive gear 33 connected to the material turning motor 32, and a driven gear 34 meshing with the drive gear 33. The driven gear 34 and the drive gear 33 are rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 31. The mounting plate 31 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal slide rail 27. The material turning motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 31. The width adjustment mechanism 4 is connected to the driven gear 34. The material turning motor 32 controls the drive gear 33 to rotate. The rotation of the drive gear 33 can drive the driven gear 34 to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 34 can drive the width adjustment mechanism 4 to rotate as a whole, thereby causing the clamping mechanism 5 to rotate as a whole, thus completing the material turning operation.
[0021] The width adjustment mechanism 4 includes a rotating plate 41, a truss 42 connected to the rotating plate 41, and a double-headed screw module 43 connected to the truss 42. The rotating plate 41 is fixedly connected to the driven gear 34, the truss 42 is vertically arranged with the fixed frame 21, and the double-headed screw module 43 is connected to the clamping mechanism 5. The double-headed screw module 43 can control the clamping mechanism 5 to move laterally on it, so as to better clamp the material according to the width of the material.
[0022] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a first mounting box 51 and a second mounting box 52 respectively disposed on both sides of the double-ended screw module 43, a first clamping block 53 disposed on the first mounting box 51, and a second clamping block 54 disposed on the second mounting box 52. The first clamping block 53 and the second clamping block 54 are disposed opposite to each other and are rotatably mounted on the first mounting box 51 and the second mounting box 52 respectively. The first mounting box 51 and the second mounting box 52 are mounted on the double-ended screw module 43. The double-ended screw module 43 can control the first mounting box 51 and the second mounting box 52 to move laterally on it, thereby clamping the material well according to the width of the material. The first clamping block 53 and the second clamping block 54 are in contact with the material.
[0023] When the material turning mechanism 3 is working, the material may deviate at some angle. The second mounting box 52 is also equipped with a fine-tuning mechanism 6. The fine-tuning mechanism 6 includes a fine-tuning motor 61 and an adjusting gear 62 connected to the fine-tuning motor 61. The fine-tuning motor 61 is fixedly installed inside the second mounting box 52. The outer side of the second clamping block 54 is provided with meshing teeth that mesh with the adjusting gear 62. The first clamping block 53 and the second clamping block 54 are rotatably mounted on the first mounting box 51 and the second mounting box 52, respectively. The fine-tuning motor 61 can control the rotation of the adjusting gear 62. The rotation of the adjusting gear 62 can drive the second clamping block 54 that meshes with it to rotate, thereby driving the clamped material to rotate, realizing fine-tuning, facilitating better material turning operation, and making it convenient for people to use.
[0024] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
