Detailed Implementation
[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many details are described below to provide a comprehensive understanding of this utility model; however, those skilled in the art can implement this utility model without these details.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A vertical baking oven includes a body 1, within which at least one baking cavity 11 is provided. Heating plates 12 and a conveyor belt 13 are respectively located on both sides of the baking cavity 11. It also includes a screw adjustment mechanism 2, through which the heating plates 12 are movably mounted within the body 1, thereby adjusting the distance between the heating plates 12 and the conveyor belt 13. This invention uses the screw adjustment mechanism 2 to adjust the installation position of the heating plates 12, thereby arbitrarily adjusting the distance between the heating plates 12 and the conveyor belt 13, thus achieving stepless adjustment of the gap in the baking cavity 11, making it adaptable to various food materials of different thicknesses. Since the adjustment is made only to the installation position of the heating plates 12, the conveyor belt will not be completely deformed, thus ensuring baking effect and conveying efficiency.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The screw adjustment mechanism 2 includes a screw 21, a nut 22, and a knob 23. The nut 22 is located on the side wall of the machine body 1, and the screw 21 passes through the nut 22. One end of the screw 21 is rotatably connected to the heating plate 12, and the other end of the screw 21 is provided with a knob 23. This utility model adopts a transmission method in which the nut 22 is stationary and the screw 21 rotates. When the knob 23 is turned, the screw 21 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise around its own axis under the action of the knob 23. Because the nut 22 is fixed and threadedly engaged with the screw 21, the screw 21 will move linearly along its axial direction while rotating, thereby driving the heating plate 12 at one end to move closer to or away from the conveyor belt 13, thereby adjusting the gap of the oven.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The machine body 1 has at least one guide rod 14 parallel to the screw 21 on both sides, and the heating plate 12 has sliding holes on both sides that slide with the guide rods 14. When the screw 21 moves, it will drive the heating plate 12 to move horizontally. Since the heating plate 12 has sliding holes, it can slide along the guide rods 14, thereby playing a guiding and limiting role, ensuring that the heating plate 12 can move horizontally smoothly under the drive of the screw adjustment mechanism 2.
[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As a specific installation method: the machine body 1 is provided with an installation chamber 15, and the installation chamber 15 is provided with a heating plate 12 and a conveyor belt 13; the machine body 1 is provided with adjustment chambers 16 on both sides, which are connected to the installation chamber 15; the nut 22 is set in the adjustment chamber 16 through the connecting seat 161; one end of the screw 21 is rotatably connected to the heating plate 12 through the connecting plate 162; the other end of the screw 21 extends to the outside of the adjustment chamber 16 and is provided with a knob 23. More specifically, the adjusting chamber 16 is provided with a connecting seat 161, which has a through hole and a nut 22. The adjusting chamber 16 has a hollowed-out portion at the corresponding position of the heating plate 12 and a connecting plate 162 connected to the heating plate 12. The connecting plate 162 has a mounting hole. A screw 21 passes through the through hole on the connecting seat 161 and the nut 22. One end of the screw 21 has a slot, which can be rotatably embedded in the mounting hole of the connecting plate 162. The other end of the screw 21 extends to the outside of the adjusting chamber 16 and has a knob 23. Therefore, by rotating the knob 23, the screw 21 can rotate while making linear motion, thereby driving the connecting plate 162 to move horizontally within the hollowed-out portion, thus realizing the position adjustment of the heating plate 12.
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3In this embodiment, two baking cavities 11 are provided inside the machine body 1. Heating plates 12 and conveyor belts 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the two baking cavities 11. The two heating plates 12 are arranged adjacent to each other and connected by a hinge 121. This optimizes the internal layout of the mounting compartment 15, and the hinge 121 can also support the heating plates 12. When the heating plates 12 are moved by the screw adjustment mechanism 2, the included angle between the two heating plates 12 is adjusted by the hinge 121. Preferably, the hinge 121 in this embodiment is a male-female hinge.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The regulating chamber 16 is provided with connecting seats 161 at corresponding positions on the two conveyor belts 13. A guide rod 14 is fixed between the two connecting seats 161. The two connecting plates 162 are provided with sliding holes that slide with the guide rod 14, thereby allowing the two connecting plates 162 to share a single guide rod 14. To ensure that the heating plate 12 moves firmly and smoothly, this embodiment provides a guide rod 14 on both the upper and lower sides of the screw adjusting mechanism 2.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The vertical baking oven also includes a drive mechanism 3 for driving the conveyor belt 13. The drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31 and a transmission assembly. In addition to the mounting chamber 15 and the adjusting chamber 16, the machine body 1 also has an independent motor chamber 17. The drive motor 31 is located in the motor chamber 17, and the transmission assembly is located in the adjusting chamber 16. When the equipment is working, food scraps or oil stains will inevitably be generated in the baking cavity 11 in the mounting chamber 15. Therefore, by setting the screw adjusting mechanism 2 and the transmission assembly in the adjusting chamber 16, which is relatively independent from the mounting chamber 15, and by setting the drive motor 31 in the motor chamber 17, which is relatively independent from the mounting chamber 15, it is possible to avoid the screw adjusting mechanism 2, the drive motor 31, and the transmission assembly being contaminated by food scraps or oil stains, thus affecting their normal operation and making the overall design of the equipment more reasonable and reliable.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The conveyor belt 13 includes a driving roller 131, a driven roller 132, and a conveyor belt body 133 that cooperate with each other. The transmission assembly includes two gear sets 32 with chains, which mesh with each other and are respectively connected to the driving rollers 131 of the two conveyor belts. One gear set 32 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 31, thereby realizing the transmission connection. As a preferred embodiment, the conveyor belt body 133 is made of stainless steel or Teflon, thus having a longer service life and being easier to clean and maintain.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3The machine body 1 is provided with a feeding port 18 and a discharging port 19 connected to the baking cavity 11. The discharging port 19 is provided with a discharging baffle 191 and a receiving hopper 192. Since the discharging baffle 191 is inclined, the motor compartment 17 is located below the discharging baffle 191 in this embodiment, so that the internal space of the machine body 1 can be fully utilized, making the structure of the machine body 1 more compact and reasonable.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The regulating chamber 16 is detachably equipped with a cover plate 163, which facilitates maintenance and repair of the screw adjusting mechanism 2 and the transmission assembly. For ventilation and heat dissipation, the cover plate 163 is provided with several ventilation holes 164.
[0034] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
